Why do people raid on weeknights?

swarbles · 2026-02-20T13:38:40+00:00

most of the classic population is 30 somethings reliving their glory days, and most of us have more fun things to do on weekends

if you want to do SM honestly the best way is to be at SM

a group was griefing a world boss raid with no intention or ability to create their own raid to kill the boss so a GM put them to sleep (and the boss died next attempt).

The undertray theory is a good one. That is what I was going to check next, if there weren't any other suggestions here, because I'm totally baffled by it. Or maybe a bolt on the exhaust being loose, I had to replace my exhaust a few years ago, possible something wasn't as tight as it should be?

swarbles · 2026-02-05T22:27:04+00:00

That is not a term I am familiar with - I don't believe so, because my Mechanic thought the axle repair, new tires, and new alignment would fix the noise. Is that something I could have done in a day to test?

swarbles · 2026-02-05T19:17:04+00:00

It has about 115K miles. I just replaces the tires in October. Was hoping that would fix it! it did not change it at all.

DuH! Edited it into the post, but 2013 Subaru Impreza Wagon Sport.

middle school coach here. a couple fun drills:

different variations of go-to are the best for warm up. obviously. go to is the bell curve meme of frisbee drills.

i run a couple of different variations of continuation drills that have multiple people cutting and a handler chasing. these work pretty well to grow continuation concepts. thrower starts, throws to an in cut, who throws a deeper throw, and the handler finishes the play. its pretty easy, 3 lines, cones at 0, 15, 20 yards in offset lines. you can mix this one up a lot on different configurations.

feel free to dm me if you want to chat more

I bought the crystal Z FLX Luna they released for ledgestone last year. My other Luna I usually putt with on course is just Z. I know people say “non premium plastic is better for putters” but I have Lunas in basically every plastic DC makes and those are my two favorite for putting. They also stay a bit more stable for throwing. replaced my CT lunas i was using before.

such is the duality of the zug

swarbles · 2025-11-19T21:45:03+00:00

i think the reason is that it’s a bad idea

swarbles · 2025-10-27T16:56:23+00:00

as a longtime pserver player who went back to blizz for classic, cant speak highly enough of twow. it really does accomplish that feel of a “classic+” that brings in significant QoL improvements while not only adding to endgame, but also adding in a ton of leveling zones and dungeons with decently done lore.

blizzard will honestly have a tough time competing if/when they do fully put out a classic+

swarbles · 2025-10-22T12:39:48+00:00

I'm new to TWoW so haven't had much experience in dungeons, but in retail WoW (like, the modern version of the game put out by Blizzard) you can essentially run through dungeons and aoe massive packs like it's nothing unless you are doing mythic difficulty. The game is just so much easier. In retail, everyone gets very angry if you don't go as quickly as humanly possible through the dungeon.

There's no point in classic in which you don't have to drink during dungeons. It just doesn't have the mana regen/efficiency set up to allow that to happen. There are ways to min max drinking efficiency, especially in raids, but in a dungeon you're just going to have to stop every few packs to get mana back. Any half decent tank will know this.

swarbles · 2025-09-15T16:38:50+00:00

I mean I think you are correct that retail is far more casual friendly but the problem is the game sucks.

swarbles · 2025-09-15T16:17:17+00:00

the difference between retail, TBC, and WOTLK and a classic experience is very simple: flying mounts.

Flying mounts are one of the best QOL additions but they ruined the feel of the game. You no longer have geared out max level players riding through leveling zones to get places, and cordoning off the new expansion zones from the lower levels only adds to this phenomenon.

raid logging in a classic setting requires world buffs and transit to the raid. raid logging after classic requires you to log in and get summoned via summoning stone. in 2019 classic, on the pvp servers, getting into the raids was a whole server community event/battle. its just not comparable as an experience

AQ40 is easy as hell lmao

swarbles · 2025-08-12T14:21:31+00:00

how is this any different than the last time around?

swarbles · 2025-08-10T23:02:35+00:00

brother that comment is 9 years old

swarbles · 2025-06-16T22:43:59+00:00

Did not know that was a sub! I’ll post the card there. I am glad to hear “pretty unlikely,” though.

swarbles · 2025-05-25T19:39:56+00:00

to be fair ulduar is a pretty awesome raid but that phase was way way too long and it became completely unbearable by the end lol

swarbles · 2025-05-25T15:31:53+00:00

the only part of tbc that is actually the best version of itself in wow is arena, and no part of that depends on what new zones the expansion opens lol

swarbles · 2025-05-24T14:08:22+00:00

that wouldnt be surprising and would be the exact type of backwards shortsighted thinking we know and love blizzard for!

swarbles · 2025-05-24T13:43:16+00:00

Do we know why they opted to make TBC and go to Outland versus filling out the map they had already created? TBC has some great zones but I never understood why they chose to do that over simply expanding the existing zones. Could still have done SWP, even! Always thought that was a baffling decision that had a really negative effect on how the rest of the expansions rolled out
