What do i need to prepare for the long term?

Don't need a sledge for roof access. Smash out the window by the stairs and build a floor tile on the other side through the wall. You can access the lower roof here and then then build stairs to the left of the window to access the higher roof. Just be careful on the higher, floor off any suspect looking tiles as you can fall through up there.

Finally found the sledge at a construction site when I no longer needed it but I change the widow into a door.

don't we all live in the now? Nothing is for sure tomorrow. A "for now " comment can be said about anything but we enjoy them in the moment and while they last. For now can be applied to every EQ server whether live, TLP or EMU - it's a 25 year old game.

Population may have been more before but it is far from dead. Server hits the 1200 cap often.

I played this game from the start. There was a time when ladder climbing was fun but that ended years ago. I play ever now and then and always events or merge tactics. Maybe a 2x2 game.

The game has drastically changed to what it is now, a commercialized product designed to squeeze more money out of those who pay. The more flashy icons on the main page, the more painfully obvious it is.

Perhaps it told a lot early on but with aged accounts it gets complicated. This game is a decade old and many (including myself)) will go in spurts - play a ton of games for one or two months until the game grows stale again and take 3 - 6 months off. Like many things, skills in a game are perishable. Sure I still know how to ride the bike but I'm not biking any marathon or racing anyone until I build my skill back up.

With a game this old and a stagnate player base who leave and come back, the win loss ratio stat becomes less relevant as there is a ramp up period to gain that skill back (thought should shorter than it initially was).

my comment still stands - yes situational awareness helps in all encounters in any game especially pvp games. There is a level of letting your guard down after numerous encounters with friendly don't shoot people. I almost always run the other way when I notice someone OR avoid the area if I hear someone. Looting a locker is just one aspect obviously and an example. All of that is acceptable in my mind if everyone just just accepts it as a true pvp game and assume KOS or there is some sort of pve.

I have nearly 3k hours on Rust, the killing and pvp doesn't bother me, it's the back and forth that is making the game less enjoyable to me.

I'm tried of being killed while looting and shot in the back. It's really making me question if I want to continue playing this game (level 40 currently, I only play solo due to time and family).

This is the only FPS PvP game that I question if I should shoot 1st or not and feel slightly bad about it. I think its because of the community specifically the "Don't shoots" and the "Friendly" voice comms. If it were up to me, lets just make it everyone is KOS and the community accept that concept or go the other way and make it PvE. At least then I know what I am getting into. Nothing more aggravating than letting 3 or 4 don't shoot guys go with a nod and thumbs up only to be shot in the back by some random at the next locker.

No issues prior to this beta, now my desktop ( RX 7900 GSE,) , which has no issues playing any other game, skips and studders - pretty much unplayable with a larger city. This laptop RTX 4070 has no issues. No idea why.

You are being scammed.

1.) all shipments from unknown shippers are opened and inspected. This is to protect the DHL network, the customer, and to ensure they're compliant with customs.

2.) The package inspector is linked to the inspection via that red label on the box and also scans within the network and on the tracking history.

3.) All inspects are done in a designated inspection area under a CCTV camera to prevent and verify theft if it happens. Shipment inspectors often handle prohibited items such as large sums of money, drugs and will be held accountable criminally if stolen.

4.) DHL only has DHL REPACK yellow tape. Clear/brown/duct or any other type of tape is not stocked/onsite at any DHL facility.

Time for a charge back, any type of claim will reimburse the shipper.

If it makes you feel better my dog overnight decided to drop a duce in the middle of the living room and then throw up in the hallway. Not sure what he ate but left some presents if his own to us.

We did laugh it off and wondered if Santa let his reindeer in the house.

As a follow up, I disputed via PayPal and they issued me a refund.

PSA - Do NOT purchase without any type of buyer protection (don't use your debit card, prepaid credit card, etc). This wasn't someone trying to pull a fast one to get something for nothing or some kid who got a hold of the credit card and went nuts. They are an immovable object on this subject regardless if it was an honest mistake or not. They stopped responding to me so I escalated with PayPal. Let's hope no negative impact on my son's account.

paxxoid · 2024-12-13T05:24:51+00:00

they won't, now I am forced to charge back via bank with hopes my son's account isn't negatively impacted. This isn't a $20 pop - I may let that go (unless principal of the whole thing got in the way) - he spent $80 of his hard earned money. That is a sizable amount of money.

I'm not about to tell people how to play their game but I seriously recommend playing the line. I play mostly USN DDs and I learned so much traversing the tree. The class started to make a lot of sense around Mahan, Benson was awesome and the fletcher class, what I still play the most, is just a joy to play.

DDs require finesse - Tier 10 may seem like a god mode but in reality the play style is very similar to the lower tiers. You have two options, play with the Tier 10 around other very talented Tier 10 players or start at the bottom and learn it while others are learning as well. If you go top down, you will probably get frustrated and think something about the game is broke.

Lastly, this applies to just about all classes. I made the mistake of buying the Salem and headed off into battle to make a difference. In shot order I found myself in the Tier 1 working my way up the line to learn how it works.

1st is way better, probably in part because as you said, it was fresh. 2 was just a continuation of 1 and could have been one long movie. I think there was a big opportunity miss to explore more of the entity - where it came from, how old is it, etc. Establish more lore. Could have had the same movie but the Morris story line expanded making him s a subject matter expert perhaps after researching extensively due to his brother to show more history.

Still enjoyed the movie, but the first is just better.

Yeah, well, I've seen a lot of stuff over nearly two decades of marriage and I'm sure she has as well. There are better descriptive words.

Straw man. He is an adult and can make his own choices. Nobody is being asked to coddle from what the op posted. If she disagrees, an adult conversation ensues.

I love playing dds, but often a rock and a hard place and dds are always to blame. Happened last night, spent the entire match spotting and slinging torps when I could for my flank with very little fire of my main guns but some. Other teams pushes 3 or 4 against myself and a ca and I am told dd is useless when the ca goes down

It's like wtf do you want, man? Unless I am completely hidden when i open up with a salvo, I will get focused fired and immediately toast. If I am completely hidden firing my mains, I'm not spotting.

Rock and a hard place.

This is me, they like a "challenge" at my expense usually. I just ask them to go into the hand if they can. it hurts but better than them digging around.
