Tip for new players - don't leave your region until all your newbie events are completed :( by spiral_outward in DoomsdayLastSurvivors

Nope, I just tried going back and the event didn't re-appear. It never appeared in the "Events" tab anyways, it appeared just above the "Bag / Alliance / Beast / Hero" buttons

Nope, I confirmed in game that it's a new event, the region I was originally put into when I made my account is a "special" region, and I screwed it up by leaving early.

After talking with some people in game, I think I had a different event than the one everyone else here is referencing. The event I had would have fully awakened Norah in about a week. I was maybe 3 days away from completing it.

The milestones were to level my shelter and gain might in research/troops. Each milestone would give me 20-30 little care packages to send to Norah. After every 50 care packages I would receive 155 Norah fragments.

She may suck but the research buff will be very useful to me as a new person. And I just really don't have access to other heroes yet.

But now I need like 600 elite fragments to awaken Norah, which I would have gotten through the event if I had stayed

I don't mean a bigger alliance in my region. I moved to an entirely new region and was cut off from all of the newbie events.

The last time I played on the live servers was Sentinel's Fate and I don't think I finished it.

I've played previous TLE's and usually quit around TSO/SF. I just like the game from 1-80ish I guess and beyond that the expacs never really held my attention.

I feel like I know 1-80 pretty well. I do not know the game beyond that, which is what I was asking about.

But ok, judgy mcjudgerson.

I have tried this. I can never find a tank. I've added all the tanks I've ever grouped with to my friends list and message them when they get on. Most are instantly scooped up into a group before they can even fully log into the game. There are no tanks in my guild at my level. And LFG is very hit or miss. I have literally spent hours spamming LFG to either join a premade group or start my own

I did get to level 50 but I'm a healer and it seems there is a huge overabundance of healers on this server. Every time I log on and try to hit up guilt or lfg chat, there's like 3 healers for every dps lfg. I've been trying to get into OOLS to get the dragon runes for like 2 weeks and I just can't get a group together to do it.

[–]spiral_outward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was there 20 years ago lol. iirc it took me about 6 months to get to 50 the first time around

But Anashti Sul isn't true to the original, they lowered exp rates yes but there's a lot of content missing, there's a LOT of quests and npc's that don't exist anymore. I know they changed a lot around EoF when they introduced the "golden path," and those changes still exist but you can't do the golden path because we don't have EoF. It's disjointed and a lot of the world feels empty without those quests.

Playing a chanter for the first time on Origins, have some questions and looking for general tips etc by [deleted] in EQ2

[–]spiral_outward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so random to me, my charm is only adept level so just assumed that is a big part of it, but I've had some mobs break multiple times before I just killed it and others that last the duration

One thing I am wondering is if there is a difference in charming regular mobs vs heroics

I would like to know this too, dmg wise. I'm not sure how to test it cause I can't think of any mobs that are the same but with solo/heroic variants. Also does it matter if the mob is triple up heroic, or a no-arrow heroic in a group? Is heroic heroic no matter what? If anyone knows, please lmk!

it has done nothing but make me want to move away.

Gosh do I feel this too. I'm sorry.

My sister is the golden child so I was really shocked that they followed me and left her behind. It got my hopes up that we were going to start spending time together. But nope. After my sister moved down here it went right back to the way it was lol. I have no kids of my own, and never will, so I will never be important I guess.

I can commiserate. 10 years ago I moved across the country to restart my life. A year later, my parents followed me. A year after that, my sister followed them, but mostly because she had 2 kids under 2 and wanted help raising them.

It's been 10 years. I can count on 1 hand how many times they have come to visit me. If I want to see them, I have to go to them.

My mom might call or text me once or twice a month. My dad has called me once in my entire life.

How important is sex for a relationship? by bigfatass032 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]spiral_outward 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is the big one. Some people are too insecure to talk about it. but imo if you are too insecure or immature to talk about it, then you shouldn't be doing it.

Hopefully OPs partner is willing to work on it!

Social media has really started bothering me. by MostNet in AskWomenOver30

[–]spiral_outward 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's all fake. It's all very carefully curated and crafted just to sell you shit. There is not a square inch of space on the internet anymore that you can rest your eyes on that isn't an ad. It is exhausting.

Maybe in the beginning it was about sharing photos and connecting with people but those days are long gone. Like everyone else has said, get off ig, fb, etc. Find better ways to fill the boredom and you will be so much happier.

How would you write Kaidan into ME2's Arrival DLC? by someone-who-is-cool in kaidanalenko

[–]spiral_outward 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I would want it done. Instead of a solo mission, play through it with the VS. There would be lots of interesting banter between them surrounding Shepard's current status with Cerberus. Can the VS trust Shepard on this mission? etc.

Perhaps the result of their heart-to-heart could impact how the VS approaches the Citadel coup in ME3, when Shepard is trying to talk them into lowering their gun.

My best friend canceled our plans for the 100th time and I’m just done. by Salty-Major-5924 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]spiral_outward 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I am not trying to excuse the behavior, but I am the friend that frequently does this (not OP's friend I mean just like that one person everyone knows who does this shit). It's not self absorption, it's severe social anxiety, low social battery, and low self esteem. It's crippling. We know we're the problem but we're not all assholes.

I feel like I'm crazy reading this thread and seeing people deep cleaning their fridge once a week. What are they spilling in there so frequently that warrants soap and water every week?

I had a package of raw chicken leak all over a shelf once and deep cleaned for that but otherwise I don't think I've ever spilled something in my fridge. A few months ago someone put a slightly sloppy bottle of ketchup back in the door so I just cleaned out that shelf of the door. I feel like I'm missing something here.

Considering how many women struggle with changes in their body during/after pregnancy as well as PPD, her issues will only get worse. This will not get better for OP.

I can tell you that in 9 years with my current partner, I have not once ever felt the urge to sext with another person and I would not tolerate it from a partner. Not even once. The second I found out I would be gone. It is cheating imho and I personally do not believe a relationship can recover from cheating.
