    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I am going to make a public apology to Noodle for my asshole post. It was mean and I shouldn't have posted it. Now I am not even sure why I did since I don't post here much other than the WoW guild forum. Noodle, I am sorry, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I read this more as, "I want to mythic raid but continue to log in only for raids while my officers do all the real work that a mythic guild requires like constant recruitment, keeping up the guild bank, minimizing drama, and keeping up morale." Go join a mythic guild already or shut the fuck...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We are finally moving to Git (Collabnet Git plugin, GitEye as the client) from SVN before January 2017 and my team is the first to migrate. I have to say my IT department is so backwards that I am pleasantly surprised when a team uses any source code control at all here.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    After flex raiding I have no desire to go back to fixed # raiding just for mythic. It's so nice to be able to continue raiding when people have to log off or can't show up randomly. I dealt with the stress of maintaining fixed roster sizes in vanilla -> Wrath and it sucks having to constantly...

    Pets

    Many years ago our (now deceased) Pug had an itching issue where she rubbed a huge patch of her fur raw. We switched her to a grain-free dog food and the problem disappeared immediately. What dog foods have you tried? We feed our current dogs this one: Grain Free - Pure Vita - Natural...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    For the past few years at both work and home I've used an adjustable standing desk and take ~15 minute sit breaks here and there. Personally I find it alleviated all of the issues (including concentration lapses and sleepiness) that I had with sitting for long periods of time. This is the one...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I really enjoyed raiding in vanilla, although it took a toll on life due to the severe time commitment. We spent 7 evenings a week with our guild and the people didn't change much as we progressed from AQ20-> Naxx. We made friends that we met in real life and still keep in touch with today...

    <Fires of Heaven> WoW Guild - [Horde] [Hyjal-US]

    I was Else the Ret/Holy and occasional Prot Pally in WoD. Looking forward to the minivan raids again, those were really fun while they lasted. I decided to try a shaman this expansion as I have not played one before. I'm a little behind due to being on vacation when Legion launched and just...

    We had a new Warrior (had a green leaf icon) in a low level dungeon. Only thing he did was pull and attack 1 mob, the rest went to the WHM. I tried to tell him nicely a few times that he needed to use Overpower and keep aggro on all the mobs but he never responded. Did the entire dungeon that...

    MUDs, MOOs, and You

    I played Avatar MUD when I was in college. I was a rogue and I liked how I would start the fight by backstabbing the mob, then the ranger would rescue me and tank. Occasionally it failed and I went to the cloud!

    Definitely agree, I'd love to see levelling removed entirely and all of that time/effort spent on creating deep and interesting endgame content. I would love to see a single character system where after an introductory lesson on the basics of your character, you could go run endgame quests and...

    Anyone on Leviathan? Mike and I are goofing around in this now. We have a WHM/Paladin with relics and some early Coil gear. Mike wants to play Ninja though so we'll probably work on that while getting our story done and some Duty Finder gear.

    Another Perspective on Group PVE Gameplay

    I like the idea of tanking being like a toggle stance or type of CC that anyone can perform, just in a different way. For example a monk type class might grapple and pin down their opponent(s). A mage might summon one or more illusions to distract a target or targets. A healer might calm or...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I like FFXIV except the end game, 8 man Coil feels too small for end game raids. When we played we actually had a hard time keeping a static going since it's hard/impossible to have a bench for an 8 man. WoW's flex raiding is a great solution for that right now. As long as you have 10 you can...

    Me too.My first Mythic cache gave me a Warforged tanking cloak and my heroic Highmaul cache gave me a tank trinket (Pol's), so my tank set is 679 now, up from 671 last week. Sat May 16 and 30 I will only be at the raid for the first hour or so as I have volunteer commitments again.

    Anarchy Online New Graphics Engine

    I hated Shadowlands also and eventually quit because of it. I loved AO because it was a gritty, dirty sci-fi world and Shadowlands was high fantasy. Going from flying to walking sucks, much like WoD in WoW right now. I'm not sure why devs think that is a good idea ever. It's like having a...

    I'd much prefer Saturday evenings, a lot of my volunteer work is done on Saturday mornings. Mike agrees, so that is +2 for Saturday evenings.

    This is kind of what we plan to do. I set my retirement date for Aug 1, 2032 the day I turn 55. At that point I want to move somewhere cheaper (we live in an expensive area) then take an RV around the states. When that gets boring (and depending on finances and if we have dogs still) I'd like...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think people just have a bad day sometimes. I know our last Saturday heroic BRF I was derping all over the place and I felt like I shouldn't be raiding anymore. Instead I dropped my healing spec, picked up tanking and tanked a BRF LFR. It really freshened things for me seeing things from...

    I hope it's not colic. A co-worker had a colicky baby, he had to stay up until the wee hours of the morning rocking him until he'd finally quit screaming and fall asleep. Hours and hours of pure screaming with no remedy. He put him in a car seat and rocked it with his foot while he played...

    I'm 671 in my tank set. Big holes are a tanking cloak and 1 trinket, otherwise I'm in decent shape but I'll probably take a bit more damage than Poid/Noodle/Antidotes. Practiced on dummy and in a dungeon today, will do LFR tomorrow and get more practice in through the week.

    I have a 670-ish tank set and honestly since I enjoy Ret so much I'll probably be a better tank on this Paladin than I am a healer. For some reason I'm just not enjoying the Holy Paladin, nor am I very good at it compared to how I used to perform with the Disc/Holy Priest. I'd like to try...
