Any of yall want to play? My ranking is somehow like 1700 but I think I can play pretty competently around 2000.

Random newbie tip - for some reason if windows defender is on, my in game FPS plummets to a cap of 60. The second I disable it, FPS jumps up to ~130. Took a while to figure out what the issue was here, but it's definitely isolated to windows defender.

I've seen some people in quickplay lose their minds over bad teams. It's pretty pathetic. I think there really is a lot of truth to what was said about playing in prime time. Played 4-5 games last night consisting of leavers, one that had a troll bastion that just stood at our base and shot in...

DVA feeling strong to play against. Insane health with that mobility and no need for reloading is really tough to face down as a reaper or mcree.

It'll be interesting to see how much this impacts ultimate centric heroes. Thinking Ana and Mei will be hurt a lot more than Rein.

At some point in the rankings, should I be expecting that teams will generally be competent in general strategy and gameplay, or is solo queue just Russian roulette all the way up?

Just got told that I'm a noob mercy who doesn't heal. Finishes game with 52% damage healed. Feels bad man.

Thereee we go. Thanks lol.

I've realized that my Ovewatch statistics in bnet haven't updated since like the first few days that I played. Any solution for this? Like my rank and achievements work fine, but it still says that I have 4 minutes played on Ana who I've been playing as a main for about a week now.

Yeah, Winston is brutal. I like Mercy on maps where the distance from spawn to point is really far, like Hanamura first point on defense. Even with Lucio's alt, sometimes shit happens and being able to get people back to the point when they're pressing can be valuable.

Yeah, sorry. I meant to say that playing in quick matches and sub 2000 comp, you see Ana like half? the time if you don't play her. My favorite thing about Ana at this level is that I can sometimes keep alive the masses of terrible Rein's that just charge 300 meters from their team past the...

Been playing a lot of Ana recently. Her toolkit is really strong and there aren't a ton of Ana mains so it's usually slotting into make the team a ton stronger. Went on a tear of fail teams this morning and dropped like 150 points in a row. Terrible.

I was mostly using NPR as a proxy for economics, geopolitics, history and science. The stuff they do on saving the whales or fighting poverty or whatever I could give a fuck about. If you can get past their ultra liberal leanings, there's a ton of really high quality content on current events...

That 4v6 on King's Row was just insane. South Korea blends through Russia like paper.

I think it's probably related to your social circle and the fact that you didn't go to college. I find conversations with my old high school friends to be exceptionally dull. Generally, the stuff they are interested in, the stuff they want to talk about and the depth in which they are willing to...

Deruvian#1240 - Btw - Mostly playing Zen or Mercy

I can't get enough zenyatta

I'm terrible and drunk. Anyone want to pair up?

Are tags something that have a process behind them? Or should I just send someone a tell?

Gave in and resurrected my Brewmaster. He's on a one way ride to Hyjal.

Just how bad of a place is the BrM in right now? I played one a bit in WoD before it got nerfed and while powerful, it took a lot of micro management to play well. I understand they got nerfed into oblivion shortly thereafter and seem to have never recovered. Are they in a bad enough place to...

I've done a total 180 here. I really like the leveling speed on the server and the quality of gear you get is phenomenal. The flip side is that it seems like the progression side of things actually takes a bit of firepower. Maybe a really strong box combo like SK/SHM may have a chance of...

Does slow land on bosses in Velious and Luclin? My Paladin/Rogue combo just doesn't have enough healing/slow to power through these mobs and I'm thinking of reshuffling the boxes a bit.

Are the 2.0's guild-wide unlocks?

Yeah- It's overlapped by Earth, but there's a quest NPC for it and everything, usually situated between the TOFS and Earth B NPCs. Maybe it doesn't update the charm? Not sure why it wouldn't be on the list.

I recognize most of the guys on Doomhammer. Hex had that one group of really fast leveler and Jugg had a few. I think Muroka and Garu spent like their whole 55-60 experience straight grinding in the eastern plaguelands. I think Garu didn't sleep for the last like 3 days or something because he...

VT is part of the old path. It's right before Plane of Earth. The stuff I was getting from the mobs near the end of the 1-70 path was pretty close to 400hp/mana, which compares somewhat favorably to elegant defiant stuff. IIRC, many of it also was type 8 with raid tier focuses. None of this...

the boosted stat and reduced mob stats was big plus on NL. There also seemed to be some huge tweak on resists and hit rate. I could tear through a mob 8 levels higher than me like butter as a melee and as a caster I could hand full damage on deep reds almost 100% of the time.

My problem with the merc thing is I just feel like I'm on EQ safari. If any of you SH guys want to log on and give me tons of gear and money on this 9/5 box, I won't complain.

The gist, as I've come to understand it, is that Secrets has wanted to do a revamp of the underlying guts of the emu code for some time now and it was something that he and Maze were working towards. Paraphrasing, but I believe the idea is that he wants to be able to easily scale mobs etc across...

I mean I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Your merc will basically rape everything's face off and there is definitely autoscribing and tons of QOL stuff. It's just not the version EQ that I really want to play. And I mean I got to 60 and an epic in an evening, which is faster than...

Gave SH a run. Basically played all night and got to 60 on an enchanter. Find myself stuck in some zone I've never seen before with a bunch of generic alien looking mobs (DON maybe?) and everything rapes me. All my gear is from like 5 expansions beyond anywhere I've ever played and I feel like...

EMU in general just needs donation slush fund for Secrets.

Should also think of it from a server health standpoint. Sure, RR is a big % of the population, but there were plenty non-rr who were playing. If we bring the product back online, as similar to the original as possible with the original characters, I think we maximize the change of resuscitating...

I also think it's selfish for the guys who started in the last 2 weeks to want a restart. Most of us were carried with gear and everything else and it completely shits on the work of the guys who were 65 with AA's before we even started and suffered through all the bugs and quests and whatnot...

Not seeing the binaries - where were those published?

Appreciate the work you put into the server a ton. Also appreciate, despite being dumped all over, you providing the server backups. Seems like your life has a lot of shit going on, but thanks for going out of your way to satisfy the players who were loving this project.

I was thinking about trying to make one of these servers, or something similar, for fun. Problem is, I don't have a CS degree and haven't worked in any capacity as an engineer or anything. What's the degree of difficulty here? and what language is most commonly used on these projects? I was...

After his last post on Discord, I sort of saw this coming. Think I'm going to roll a few boxes on Al'kabor, but damn I agree that the balance on this server was very nice.

The problem with being able to consistently make good coffee is that it totally ruins your experience on the go. The only good cup I can ever remember having was at this hipster hole in the wall in LA that basically made coffee that same way I would.
