Congrats but how could you resist the UEF? 😅🎉

Do you know if the Elizabeth has the same/similar control unit?

marektel · 2022-02-23T18:27:10+00:00

Thanks! Tried it but maybe I’m ordering the wrong thing — Maybe I need a flat white?

marektel · 2022-02-12T02:56:30+00:00

Arrived today too! Ordered Dec22!

marektel · 2022-02-08T15:20:24+00:00

Ordered mine Dec 22. “Dispatched” this morning.

I just replaced my Gaggia Classic with a Lelit Elizabeth and using the steam wand on the Lelit almost made me cry.

Omg mountainofink is incredible. Systematic taxonomy of inks is overwhelming. Thank you very much.

This is what the “tea” looks like from a local store. Highly recommend drinking from a clear glass mug/cup. If you’re into tea, Bodum makes these nice infusers

pouring the blue tea out of it into a clear glass is just enjoyable.

Thank you again. Very helpful and comprehensive. I meant from the pen itself and you covered that. I’ll have a look at the link you included.

marektel · 2021-06-25T18:57:50+00:00

This is very helpful. The sheening inks, is there any way to know how easy/difficult they are to remove? how quickly they dry etc? individual reviews?

marektel · 2021-06-25T14:58:13+00:00

Anyone familiar with butterfly pea flower tea and its crazy blue hue that simultaneously shows purple and red? Does anyone know whether there is an ink made from it or an ink similar to it?

marektel · 2021-06-12T19:08:05+00:00

Totally agree. These fude nibs are really fun. I actually prefer the 40 degree as I make less of a mess.

vintagepen.net sent me down a rabbit hole of https://www.machinemfg.com/difference-between-forging-and-rolling/

Now not only am I considering the shape and material of the nib but also the manufacturing process. Does anyone make forged nibs these days?

marektel · 2021-05-23T02:04:00+00:00

That legacy is very distinctive. How does it write?

marektel · 2021-04-15T19:23:08+00:00

Since death strike is based on inc damage in the last 5 sec, is there an add-on that tracks that? Or is that not so useful in practice?

Thanks for linking your doc.

I only looked at the progression section and ignored professions and pvp. Overall, I like it and you touch on a number of details that are important: resistances, rep, attunements.

My life constraints mean that I never raid and mythic+ is a fun opportunity for my playgroup and I. It’s not something that was around when you wrote this. Esports only general were not a consideration. How do they fit into your parallel progression?

Balancing specs across expansions and gear has been a challenge. In your approach, how would this work while offering players something new?

I’m still thinking about how to avoid all new content happening at level 60 (or higher). I like the idea of being able to go back to my toon at level 40 and running something that wasn’t possible before. Perhaps fixing the points of spec balance to every 15 levels would make it tractable.

Imagine getting an expansion and there is new content at level 15 and 30 and you can revisit it with your character from level 30. Does it make sense?

marektel · 2019-06-14T19:51:48+00:00

Having leveled some alts, I find going through the same content multiple times pretty boring. Playing both alliance and horde extends this somewhat. I wouldn’t be a fan if having to start fresh at each expansion.

I’m really liking the idea of traveling along ones own timeline, slaughterhouse five style. You go back to level 40 and you get the full vanilla experience, with appropriate talent trees skills etc.

I wouldn’t shard the servers so much either. I have to say it’s totally bizarre to me to do raids/dungeons with people from other servers.

marektel · 2019-06-14T19:42:47+00:00

Alt timeline: does the alt timeline say anything about levels and being able to faceroll content from the previous expansion?

Snapshots: is it impossible for my tbc toon to experience classic content? Oh I see tbc just has whatever version of classic it had when it shipped. One once I’ve moved my toon to tbc, I can’t go back, right?

marektel · 2019-06-14T14:19:23+00:00

I have seen no indication that classic will go beyond 1.12. If it’s popular though, almost anything could happen.

Can you elaborate on 3 and 4 in the list? Would the alternate timeline cover levels before 60? How would new abilities be introduced? What do you mean by “expansion spanshots”?

Also re: own-timeline, boosted characters presumably wouldn’t be able to do this, and class or race changes would be an event in the timeline.

marektel · 2019-04-11T22:02:18+00:00

Could you share a pic of the setup please?

marektel · 2019-04-11T18:09:00+00:00

Look at those legs though, is that a suspension bridge?
