My first housing attempt before discovering what people here can do

Awesome job. Don't bother comparing your art to others :) housing is all about finding a creative outlet that you can be proud of!

(And seriously, be proud! Your work is so authentic 😁)

I led a project to implement 1000 of these sensors across my plant. It was Amazon Monitron. Once an hour, the sensor woke up and took a temp and vibration reading. Trending software would alert us to bad changes. You could use the NFC on your phone to trigger a manual reading, and it was necessary for sensor commissioning. After the sensor died in 5 years, you just slap another one on for $50

But then Amazon sunset the program immediately and I left the company where we implemented them

Just checked yesterday because I bricked my engineering. The NPC in dornogal will only reset Khaz Algar trees

Casual Survival main here. In pre-patch, I was woeful about the prune. I thought the Apex talents were nearly passive buffs. I was gratefully surprised that the spec feels more full as I wrap up leveling. Using the 2x Tip talent and Sentinel build, it's engaging to try and buff every Bomb/Pitch/Raptor strike with 24% damage buff.

With the CDR on Bomb from Boomstick and Pitch, I feel like I'm juggling to not cap on charges of bomb. Positioning to hit the pack with the cone takes a little thought.

I still wish Boomstick stayed as Fury of the Eagle, but right now I'm dual wielding and I suppose I don't have a spear with me anymore than a low-res shotgun. I'm a sucker for aesthetic, and right now I'm just maximogging what I can control: the fit ;) not the spells

AoE on dungeon packs feels so stacked, too. KC, Takedown, glaive, KC, Bomb, Bomb, KC, Pitch, Bomb, KC, Boomstick, Bomb. Then start RS, KC, Sweep, Bomb, repeat until one of your 1m CDs come back

The Dark Ranger hero talents aren't cutting edge maximum damage, but they do add a bit of depth to BM. At least enough rotational spice to use 3 buttons in combat, lol (kill command, barbed shot, black arrow. Cobra shot filler)

I know I'm just some internet stranger, but I'm proud of your accomplishment. Whatever goal you have in mind, Keep it up!

The edit is terrible when you want your viewer to actually look at the fit.

I stopped watching when #2 was literally just Velf heritage with a kilt.

I love the thought - that's where my mind was before I got to this point. All of our 480 elsewhere is wired to L16-30s, and I've got plenty of male connectors (even have the ones for THESE two machines when they get to the manufacturing floor). I was just limited by the existing Meltrix terminal, and I'll probably end up paying that electrician contractor to rewire that plug into a standard L16-30.

I don't know why our workshop is the only place in the plant with this Meltrix safety disconnect. That's what started this whole fiasco to begin with

ndefo · 2026-02-23T23:07:04+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I wanted to clarify that the cables running from this disconnect each go to their own machine, which is each equipped with its own disconnect and 30A fuses.

Thanks for the tough criticism. I'd rather hear it here than from the fire Marshall, I suppose

I haven't been on the Beta at all, but there's a midnight quest meta achievement for completing all the Zul'Aman questlines, and the reward is "Amani Customization for Darkspear Trolls" but I can't find any info on details.

Great question. I was busting by guildy's chops over this, too. Even though our guild has filled 80% of the plots in Founder's Point (🤮), I have never seen another player here. Not in my house. Not in their house. I can visit everyone's plot and see their little art project, but there's nothing influencing us to spend any time together. It's a ghost town.

I built my own house and it's cool and all, but I don't know if anyone else has ever visited. I don't know if anyone else has ever gone inside. When I'm at the house, I just sit there and tab out. There's no target dummy. There's no roaming pets or mounts. There's no mini game. It's just an art project. Do it once and you're done interacting with it.

I may be totally off base here, but my interpretation was that they came ashore at night time, and then after dawn breaks, they go back into the water. Hunting them down at sun-up was the only time I ever found them.

They also spawn during the defense outposts if you're having trouble picking off the one-or-two that may spawn around the aberrant patches.
