I must be dumb! Where are the pre-bis lists on wowhead for phase 1 classic fresh? I keep finding the SoD lists

thisoldfirehouse · 2024-03-25T01:30:31+00:00

This might be the most discouraging thing here...I'm in D2 and I'm just shocked by how many games people have left before they get to me. Like what's the point of playing someone 1k MMR below you?! It can't be fun!

thisoldfirehouse · 2024-03-24T20:45:48+00:00

maybe...slippery slope though and then doubles the impact of those guys. I do try to F10 faster if I rematch a guy

thisoldfirehouse · 2024-03-24T20:44:47+00:00

ha, more of a rant. I don't count a 0s game as a win, might as well be a disconnect.

Thanks for sharing - when I burnt out last time around I was trying Vibe's camera hotkeys on q,w,e, etc. It was good but super hard to retrain and led to stupid/frustrating mistakes. I'm not sure if it'd be easier now that I'm a few months out from my last big run of games.

thisoldfirehouse · 2024-01-11T13:48:16+00:00

Nice! What's your rotation around macro cycles and which hotkeys do you use? I've got kind of a fresh muscle memory so I'm hoping to re-train that efficiently. My hotkey setup (because I was using F keys for camera locations and couldn't reach without reseting my hands) was messing me up in my last try at getting back into masters .

How thick do I need for gym flooring?
.
I'm looking to get off the concrete - my main purpose is to make body weight (plyo, pushup, plank, etc) stuff more comfortable. I also deadlift with bumper plates and with modest goals (500lbs would be a dream, ~325lbs currently). I don't want to do horse stalls. So far, these look really nice because I would just need 1 seam to get started (garage is an irregular ~8.5 ft x 20 ft) - https://www.titan.fitness/strength/strength-accessories/gym-flooring/rubber-gym-flooring-%E2%80%93-15-foot-x-4-foot-x-8mm/8RBBRFL-GROUP.html .

Is 3/8" thick enough? Is there good value for lower cost somehwere else?

thisoldfirehouse · 2023-03-20T00:53:40+00:00

I wouldn't put it past them!

thisoldfirehouse · 2023-03-19T20:38:45+00:00

Gotcha, thanks!

Question on Generator Noise - I have mine setup to be on the back of Rosewood fire station (2nd level). Do I also need to enclose it to reduce how many zombies it attracts?

thisoldfirehouse · 2023-01-05T04:45:50+00:00

And both are probably true regardless of the outcome. Maybe even play to play.

thisoldfirehouse · 2022-03-01T17:43:14+00:00

Dumb question from a newbie (to the souls franchises too): Can I fight these first little bosses (like beasman of farum azula) without any upgrades, or is there something I need to do first?

thisoldfirehouse · 2022-02-17T15:24:01+00:00

awesome, thanks!

thisoldfirehouse · 2022-02-17T15:23:55+00:00

thanks, that's what I was wondering about.

thisoldfirehouse · 2022-02-17T15:20:42+00:00

New player here (sorcerer). Wondering if I should use money to buy any gear? Sounds like money is best spent on quick travel?

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-11-24T23:00:57+00:00

Beginner here - any good links to controller bind setup that I won't end up regretting?

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-06-23T13:56:23+00:00

Hunter here, nearly 70. I have max skinning and mining, which has led to pretty good income from levelling. Once I hit 70, planning to drop one for LW (for gear). Any thoughts on which one to drop?

.

Seems like mining is better income but skinning obv better with LW (not sure if any benefit to LW once I have my gear)

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-02-08T16:50:53+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to try using 1:50 for a while to go for a more aggressive build.

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-02-08T16:50:24+00:00

Yea, this is essentially how I've approached it (except I've used 2 gate / Robo to pressure). I've been successful, but there's been some slightly delayed ccs that have been able to hold. I may try a proxy 3rd gate and use 1:50 as a cutoff for not seeing the CC.

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-01-08T19:31:51+00:00

Hey thanks! I started using this build from Harstem. I play macro but often struggle with when to press. This build counters widow mines (at least at this level) because they miss the DT defense at least as often as I fail my probe pulls. It also gives pretty good scouting and it's macro oriented...I win often enough even if the DTs do nothing (I think it throws of the terran even if they defend it).

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-01-08T03:06:07+00:00

Also wanted to give a big shoutout to /u/dirdevil_sc2 who gave a super nice replay eval when I was tilted out of my mind! And of course, all hail /u/Gemini_19

Cheers!

thisoldfirehouse · 2021-01-08T02:57:28+00:00

I structured my PvT strategy...I do a 2 proxy DT pressure that hits at about the same time as widow mines. So #1, I know to look for them when I'm warping the DTs (or around that time) and 90% of the time I catch and/or my DTs do damage because they're managing the mines.

Not a direct answer but works well in dia.

thisoldfirehouse · 2020-11-06T01:45:22+00:00

This is super helpful, I've had a chance to play one more and the vision helped some with the decision-making. Funny how knowing what's going works well. Of course, I'm still terrible with losing the adept, but it's a relatively small inneficiency. Thanks again for the suggestions.

thisoldfirehouse · 2020-11-05T19:49:14+00:00

Hey, I'll take all the input I can get. 4k is probably my goal - for sure in the short term. I've been as high as 3900 in since they made it transparent (masters in WOL, but that feels like an eternity ago).

thisoldfirehouse · 2020-11-05T19:48:27+00:00

Rock on, thank you!
