I mean I don't really care overall. But don't cater to the most vocal monitories. In anything.

Its the dole. It's always the dole. These people don't hold stable IT jobs.

Supposedly they have a RP PVE server coming out on Aug 17th. Ambershire. Along with their massive content patch. I will definitely be trying out their U5 version but I will be waiting for that. A new server to go on is good though. https://forum.turtle-wow.org/viewtopic.php?t=20603

No desire to compete with poopsocking no lifes when I just want to quest and kill monsters for a little while. Thanks.

Phillippines if only because no language barrier would be my bet. I guess.

Why are salaries down now in your industry?

I had a watershed moment using 3 different MCPs within Cursor AI. I had two tasks that were 5 story points. A year ago these two tasks would have taken me 1.5 days or so of heads down programming. So realistically like 5 days because of meetings that waste my time. With 3 MCPs and a Cursor chat...

Looks pretty slick. I have like 3 chars in the 20s to play some of. But I want to sit tight until the HD client thing is out.

Overall I agree with the MadSeason guy although I guess everyone speaks around the edges about it. The primary thing WOW or its derivatives need to do is allow horizontal growth. Resetting you constantly is the one thing that just sucks ass. Time Locked Progression every now and again is fun but...

Try their Area 52 live server then. It is like WOW and POE had a child. A very autistic child. But its engaging and well done.

If I was super serious about getting another job I am just going to fight fire with fire and get on one of the AI mass submission tools.

Exactly this. Why hire some nogs who are just looking for retirement checks over nothing? Like the worthless janitor at Tesla who sued for lol racism and got paid millions for nonsense?

Just something I noticed. I haven't been looking for a job really but I make it a point to do a few interviews a year and keep my resume up to date. Normally, I could apply to whatever jobs that suit my proficiency in technology. Data engineering, data architecture, or Salesforce mostly. This...

I will check. I don't think I can play until tomorrow.

I don't really follow streamers. But I had no idea the WOW streamer crowd ran off to Old School Runescape of all things.

Hopefully they were able to pull in experienced private server developers who understand this very well.

This would take at least a week or two to fix if you knew what you were doing.

Talked to the company today. They asked me about comp and they effectively want someone with "staff engineer" level skills in data infrastructure. Which is my current role. But they also want someone who can do all of the business facing AI stuff they are asking for. For this they said their pay...

Not the point. The point is that you CAN do stuff solo and aren't limited by other players not being around to quest. If questing is the primary goal of the game. In order to manage this a little better a MMO needs a plethora of progression routes that are not limited to other players helping...

I thought Reaper and the Blood Mage were cool so far. I also liked the demon / hell knight one.

I never minded "working for someone else." I am paid well and I am at this point not stressed out by my work. I can understand the freedom being nice though.

This is kind of a reason I work in data infrastructure. The younger engineers have absolutely no understanding of it and that is me being generous. Even the youngbloods who are very competent with the current state of app development are terrible at understanding and applying older architecture...

Troons tend to congregate in no life free games. Again most players seem to be on the dole. Just gotta tune them out as much as you reasonably can. Texas Knights on Turtle WoW was the most LOL guild. They attracted astounding levels of troon hate. I loved it.

I like the chill aspect of the wow leveling experience. I have never, ever, been the type to just poopsock to level 60 and speedrun raids then sit around. I like doing the wow leveling experience every few years even now.

I'll probably go play Turtle wow some more when their ultra hi res patch thing is done. That will be cool to see. I have a few lowbies there I could play. The brewmaster challenge looks kind of fun.

I am surprised Shaman is the most played class. Absolutely no way I will sink actual time into these playtests. I got to level 3. Perfectly happy with the Wizard class though.

Which classes do you like?

I chuckled on Area 52 whenever someone buys the compendium to allow travel to Northrend it spams the server with "BOW BEFORE YOUR KING" from the Lich King lines. Lol, the entire chat is just BAU BAO BAU BAO BAO.

Dang bro. My oldest and youngest sister are like this. The middle sister and I are the only successful ones who have maintained long term employment.

I met people on Turtle who leveled characters to 60 with certain challenges just to get the equivalent of $20 in Turtle Tokens and bragged about getting it "for free." They would level a character get the tokens. Then extract all the gold they could and delete the char. Emu people are something...

Just from what I have been reading it has to do with their use of TrinityCore over the emulation source that Turtle, Ascension, and other private servers use. There was a reason TC was not used despite whatever good features it has. Seems they lacked the understanding to know what its...

Epoch -> This one. Classic+ with new locations, dungeons, etc 25 man raids No player shop (yet). Based on TBC class balance. Turtle -> Classic+ that tries to maintain being true to classic specifically and does not include certain QOL things (Bloodlust only effects the Shaman for example) and...

Let the hate flow and the hypesters can fuck off so I can enjoy my nice quiet server. That sounds great actually!

Old man, you are comparing Bronzebeard and Epoch in that sentence.

I am going to play a lot this weekend. My Shaman is level 20. Should be fun.

Compared to most of the private server crowd actually having a good job is a big deal. The majority are living on the dole. Turtle Wow 1.18 patch does look good btw.

Do you buy this from the gas station?

The MMO player community is full of some real losers. Present company included. I got kicked out of a guild in Turtle WoW because some dude was celebrating in Discord that he made it to the middle class. When I congratulated him and asked him about the job he said he got on SSDI, Section 8, and...

If you never played an Ogre Shaman the advantage was absurd. You could sit there and cast whatever and almost no mob in the game could interrupt you.
