    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    North Carolina Governor just issued a 30 day SiP effective Monday at 5pm. It's funny, I have been operating that way for almost 3 weeks, but it feels different now.

    I missed the INTC dip, and got to sit and watch it run up a fair bit. Still holding DIS dip, but I am hoping for a slightly better sell out during PH. If not, well, These things happen. Out of 1 of the things I have been holding for a little while and if things go my way I hope to close...

    I have been trying to dump most of my positions as well, down to a small handful now, still managed a few quickies during the day to keep my account slowly growing. As I mentioned before, this is new to me, and I was JUST starting to get on a decent rhythm before the CV panic started. It has...

    I have been buying a little bit of several companies as they dip, but I am running out of money buying. To be fair, I wasnt really prepared for this, so it wasnt a very big account. Hind sight being 20/20 and all, I should have dumped my shares of INTC and VSTO while they were green from...

    I started learning and playing in the market a little with spare cash a few months ago (been doing a little momentum, swing trading and a bit of longer term stuff). Dumped a little money into a few shares of several different stocks this morning PM. INTC, DIS, those type of things. So far not...

    So what mundane grindy ass shit will they add on in SL I wonder. It started with dailies quests, then the farm in MoP, then the mission table/garrison, then world quests and leveling some piece of gear, now we have most of those chores plus the islands/warfronts. They just seem to be...

    That was one of the things that lost me in this expansion, not being able to swap gear in m+. I normally swapped out as many as 4-6 different sets in a run. Small low hp trash was 1 set with one trinket, a threatening boss with high MD (prot warrior) was another, etc. It was fun playing with...

    I would be sad if it did, like was mentioned, I learn a ton of stuff on YT, and find it fun to share hobbies. I tend to watch the stuff where people are building stuff (michael cthulu, man at arms, etc) I get some neat ideas and motivation for other projects that way. I suspect that this...

    Leveling in BfA has felt horrible. By this time in legion i had one of every class max level but mage, and was actively doing 15ish keys on 5 different characters.

    Its true. My wife and I didnt fare well in our early UO days, we werent used to the pvp concept, and found getting attacked while in the middle of something else to be tiresome. Instead of quitting we focus'ed on tradeskilling, and eventually opened up a pretty profitable vendor house. We...

    Meh, I use the words interchangeably, although technically they arent, I feel the same way. I tend to log on to do my chores once a day (usually in the morning) so I just tend to call everything dailies.

    You probably know, but just in case. Some of the dailies are "companion" based, the annoying shit creature you get when you blow the horn, pick the same one and you get the same dailies. My wife and I have been doing them this way since shittyzone released, I screwed up once and got a...

    Having said that, (and I dont disagree, if the world was dangerous, it would be fun) if just the process of traveling to some dungeons or other places was dangerous, like "the group travels from one point to the other together, cause you might die on the way?" dangerous, then travel becomes part...

    I disagree, as I mentioned, I very much want to play with other people, In fact, I normally ONLY play if I can play with other people, my wife, my son, guildmates, and a few friends. Yes, I met some of those people through the game, but I didnt meet them running around the world trying to get...

    I think for me personally, it boils down to time. There are so many aspects of the game I enjoy (even occasionally pet battles/collecting) that the travel is just a means to an end. It is a chore, that means I can spend less time doing the things I WANT to do, doing the things I feel like I...

    I did all the tank towers. My warrior was first and I beat that somewhat earlyish, but not nearly as soon as I was hoping, By far for me the hardest was DH (but then I had literally never tanked with one). Druid was pretty easy overall, but i was high i level and it was a little later. DK...

    the biggest concern I have with the threat changes on taunts is that now, the tank who was tanking is going to have to stop using the mechanics the classes used to mitigate the massive dot they have on them because they can no longer attack. no more deathstrike, no more shield slam trying to...
