    Some bad posture noodle necks if they are getting strain. I sit around 4' away with eye line near mid screen 50+ hours a week between work/gaming. Never any issues in over a year+.

    2 hours with a super toxic revolving door learning party and 2 more with a chill one that actually had double support. The 0 hp end stagger to kill wiped us at least 10 times and what a clusterfuck to deal with after the fight itself. I don't think we ever picked up the medusa mechanic...

    My learning parties have been bangers so far for both valtan and vykas. Call outs were always on point, using consumes and people were chill. Playing without supports to learn feels great since I have to learn all the shit properly. I was only one alive in my group both gates so many times when...

    Yeah banged out Gate 1 on normal/hard with no support group. Wasn't so bad though I was the last one alive 3 times and couldn't clutch it until the 3rd one =O

    The Dangers of Gaming with Women

    Yes. She loves gaming, but mostly Nintendo based and board/card games as she lacks the skill to play anything super twitchy and has the finesse of a piece of granite when trying to move/aim in modern games. Completing games like It Takes Two and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime together were...

    Win 7 in 2022. Still using VHS too? ;] Anyone do Vykas yet? It took me yesterday/today to finish 5 valtans and 6 p3 argos and all the rest of the reset shit. Haven't even attempted new tower. I think I'm hitting that point where I can't keep up with my roster with how much I actually want to...

    Damn, just when I thought they were going to lose me they reel me back in with this hot fix. - Fixed an issue causing the "Crystal Benefactor" title to be considered new each time Lost Ark was launched. https://www.playlostark.com/en-us/news/articles/wrath-of-the-covetous-legion-release-notes

    Update is so unexciting even with the honing buff as the mats saved are trivial in the long run and waiting for it just means you weren't getting relic drops when the prices were hot which more than made up for the savings. Getting to 1415 has also been significantly easier than doing 1340-1370...

    Probably 1. Most triple A's just hit the half price button which is $29.99 or so. That total spend list is way off. Shows $191 for the 18 years of my account =O. I've spent more than that in the last 2 months alone according to my purchase history.

    Truth. I splurged during the rona for my setup when I usually build midrange and it's worth every penny for the OLED and glorious 4k gaming.

    I had no que for the first time in forever this morning so +1 to them. The tight lipped content update bs is like -42069 though. I'm barely doing any content on my 6 other chars sub 1415 at this point as the incentive to push is dwindling and lack of reoccurring events is also butt. I hope the...

    For all but 1 week that I can recall. If you play during the sweet spot in the morning when all the asia/oce players are gone ques are low and quick, but any other time GL apparently. I hit an 8k que at 1PM today to log in for calendar and guild shit which means I promptly closed the game instead.

    Exactly. The majority of people I played with at launch that were willing to give this game a try have quit and will never return again no matter what gets released or promised going forward just by how poorly the first couple months were handled.

    It's gross incompetence at this point regardless of who to blame. Just popping into Vern for the weekly today I get the reminder of how bad it still is. Cumulatively across 20+ years of online gaming I've seen less bots than I do spending 5 minutes in any non T3 zone in LA. I am pretty...

    Yeah the upload would be hot. I just never live in an area FIOs or Google fiber goes to. Literally blocks away in some cases. I had some outage issues in the vegas cox service initially, but I think it was a bad line in the house. Swapped rooms and it's been stable with no noticeable outages...

    I have Cox on primary ($150 / month), Spectrum rentals ($100 / month) and Centurylink ($65 / month) in other home all 1GB plans. I never notice the difference in quality between any of them. Just the wonderful differences in price between each state the services are in.

    If I still wore my pirate hat then I'd probably be with you, but it's just a 2 household and I'm the primary data abuser so 1.25TB shouldn't get hit with my current usage. Closest I've had was a 1TB month looking at the monthly stats and that was during no travel rona.

    We're likely be sipping metamucil by the time it's viable here on any large scale with how shitty/slow our infrastructure updates come. I have Cox in Vegas 1gb plan and they said I had a cap when I signed up, but either I don't hit whatever number they picked or it's not enforced as I use...

    Pretty sure some dude that joined my guild recently is botting (1400GS zerk/level 70 roster/level 5 stronghold) as every time I login I see him cycling in/out of a chaos dungeon for the entire duration of my playtime. I hit 1445 on the scrapper with 2 of the 3 remaining pieces going to pity...

    Causey where you been (it's dennis) :] Ques mostly in the Asia hours, but fairly low or gone by around 7-8AM for the most part. Haven't noticed evening ques but I don't often play those hours. You on Valtan? Come join my guild Conundrum. Think I have 2-3 spots open since it just leveled so...

    Grats on 60 =D. Hell cube or au naturel? I'm seeing quite a few pop up lately and they all seem to be doing the cube which would probably make me quit after the first hour.

    Hah. I gotta push to the rest of the armor to +17 first so I can at least start doing HM Valtan for relic pieces and I'd like to get that zerk to 1415. Then we'll see about getting HM Vykas ready on scrapper depending on how bad pugs look or start bringing the other 1370s on the roster into...

    It's being paid back on my other chars. I pitied 3 pieces on on glavier to 1400 -> 1415 and managed to get my zerker from 1385 -> 1393 eating all my leftovers/bound mats (600GHL!) and another 15k in purchased mats with multiple 70%+ artisans/pities. But that sweet sweet glow is done.

    Imma juri this up, but having only seen that trailer I definitely don't want to be running around doing chores in the city to inevitably unlock shit. Not a big fan of the color splash animations either. Feel like it's been seen/done enough.

    Valtan is an easy to learn (literally see the mechanics once and that's pretty much it) and an overall fun fight. Pug 1 shot on my scrapper and 3 tries with my glaivier today so unless you go full learning party you're likely to get carried even if you're balls at the game. Plus 1415 is the...

    Oh for sure, just keeping an eye out since I was doing a lot of raw taps and didn't realize adding some extra mats was worth it at certain price points. Yeah over my roster I'm on the average side/bad side on most characters, but in this case for weapon I've been insanely lucky. I have pitied...

    Are you using additional mats? I've been using Lost Ark tools and resources just put in your region prices and see what's most efficient cost wise per each tap attempt. Doing so adds additional pity and potentially saves you money in the long haul especially if you're not getting early wins.

    I'm fully expecting pity weapon +20 and pity the rest of my armor that needs to get to +17. So far pity legs +13->14. I don't even want to hone my other chars at the moment to ruin this good luck streak even though I need to get glaivier and zerk to 1415 =[.

    I am officially never allowed to complain about RNG again after these last couple weeks. Wanted to get to at least 1430 for Vykas and saw that hard mode chaos line had shard bags in the exchange so I had an excuse to start tapping weapon again. 3 taps for +18->19. That's like 10 taps for...

    Only for T1/T2. T3 you can farm "infinite chaos" and buy various materials/accessories that increase in price with each purchase. Great for grinders who want extra mats/cash and of course it's bis for bots.

    Yeah someone(s) already bought all the chaos dungeon drop skins that were 50-100g. Currently 1.5k+ so I'm assuming they can be stuffed in the jar. Two changes that should have been immediate, but they are fixing the S. Vern questline that has been broken for a week and they fixed the korean...
