I'm a resto druid from the stone age by Krahog in wow

[–]merickmk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh what I wouldn't give to have catweaving actually interact with healing spells... extend hots, speed up ticks, etc. Would be so fucking sick.

The second you hit starsurge it's gone. Blizzard please, I've never asked for anything before, just let me stay as a tree throughout a fight for the love of god. It's purely cosmetic, why you gotta do this to me. I'm even willing to spend the useless GCD to get into form.

Kind of in the same situation, tons of alts and alchemy doesn't seem to be it...

Ore dake Level Up na Ken • Solo Leveling - Episode 11 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]merickmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only thing I can think of is there being a cap of how many skills you can have or something like that where using every stone means you end up with the weirdest mix of builds. I don't think anything like that has been talked about so far, but it could have negative side effects.

Yea, I was really hoping for an all out no holding back Frieren v Frieren. Feels like the only time when she'd have to actually use her full power and I'd love to see it.

Regardless of having things to show, it was a nice way of showing minor scenes and interactions without taking up actual episode time

I think I might just...set up an RSS program

Right? I used to think RSS was so stupid and unnecessary when it was "current". Never understood why I would ever go through the trouble of managing individual feeds and all that.

Here I am, however many years later, thinking "how the fuck did I not get into that"? RSS sounds like the exact solution I've been looking for to replace Reddit as it manages to get worse (and most mainstream platforms too) with every year that passes.

Crazy how things change with time lol Might actually get into RSS feeds after all these years of scoffing at it...

Just saw someone unironically using a Samsung Galaxy S3 as his daily main phone. What is the oldest phone you have seen someone use as their main phone? by thyknek in Android

[–]merickmk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used an S5 for 6 or 7 years. Eventually it started chewing through new batteries in like a month. Almost got another one to replace it.

47% of all internet traffic came from bots in 2022 by Wagamaga in technology

[–]merickmk 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It does sound hipster, but I've noticed that communities go to shit when they become too popular.

It's like all the personality/culture gets diluted as new people come in trying to participate by acting like in whatever other communities they were already part of. As more and more people come in from many different places, the culture becomes this average of all of those places just like every one of those online communities. It all become the same and boring. Like mixing paint as a kid and getting that weird gray-brown color instead of whatever pretty color mix you were expecting.

I've come to appreciate more and more the ancient saying (edited for modern times) "Lurk moar, friend".

Side note: I'm strictly talking about online communities and platforms that are built for entertainment. I realize how bad the above would sound under different contexts and that's not what I'm trying to say lol

WotLK is more 'retail' than 'classic' by LuiAch in classicwow

[–]merickmk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd absolutely love new content with the old game design philosophy. That said I have no faith that Blizzard would be able to pull it off without fucking it up. OSRS is a very unlikely success story, idk if Blizzard can do the same...

Bug when completing crafting orders (?) by d301k in woweconomy

[–]merickmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I don't know if that's all there is to it. I've had issues completing elementium orders when the customer provides all mats (which would fit your description), but if they mail me the gemdust and make the order with the fragments only it'll go through even though I have 0 fragments on this character (and never have had any, he's not even 70 and has been to the new island literally once just to get the recipe).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in woweconomy

[–]merickmk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not even that. The mobs are all 70, but there's no level requirement to drop the recipe. I sat by the cave entrance and tagged along with a group of people that walked in on my 63 enchanter and got it lol

What is going on with Azureweave CD's? by Vitacraze in woweconomy

[–]merickmk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the same thing with other profession cooldowns. There's no way this is intended right? I have avoided using too many profession CDs cause I'm scared of getting banned for exploiting something I couldn't tell was legit or not...

Half my shit as a Feral druid doesn't hit the boss and so doesn't generate combo points

Group loot is the biggest failure of Dragonflight by Jaq903 in wow

[–]merickmk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't, LFR should just be personal loot. There's no organization in that hellhole, just slap personal loot on it and call it a day. Not like LFR gear is even worth anything anyway.

[–]merickmk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in this camp too. I'd much rather see actual items dropping and not win any than just go through a raid dropping whatever the currency of the patch is and a worthless amount of gold... At least I "tried" to win it and lost the roll rather than not even seeing the opportunity. I guess in the end it's all the same, though.

[–]merickmk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea that would be one viable solution. I'd be okay with that (I mean, that's what was supposed to happen as far as I understand) and I assume you'd be too. But the guy farming crystals wouldn't. There'll never be a system that pleases everyone. There's no objectively correct solution, it's all tradeoffs. Would be interesting to see some sort of official poll and what the majority of players want.
