    Everquest - Phinigel server

    That particular fight is a marathon because anyone in LOS will be stunned 75% of the time. Clerics without mana = dead raid. Just happens to suck because of the way DBG re-tuned resists for TLP servers. It's damn near impossible to resist and its 9 sec duration stun on a 12 sec timer. As I...

    ^This^ Your first 5 years on a traditional 30 year loan are almost entirely interest payments and very little going to principle. People who bounce around houses every few years are only giving money away to the bank.

    Similar shit going on as in 2008, sans the sub-prime bs. Bottom line is, interest rates are in the floor. People only give a shit about what that monthly payment is and if interest rates are low, they can afford more house. This just means the house prices have rocketed. All the while, salaries...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Vulak, AoW, and Tunare (to a lesser extent) are the only mobs worth a shit after a very short while. Tunare you could theoretically split into 2, but it would be a tediously long PoGrowth clear.

    But I am guessing NToV is one instance? I don't see how you are splitting into 2-3 raids and taking down Vyemm / Nev to spawn Vulak.

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    Never been in the business, but had a colleague of mine that did. His advice (learned the hard way) was to steer clear of the low end market. For starters, the cheaper the property, typically the shittier the tenants. Why have 10 cheap units with constant tenant and (possibly) maintenance issues...

    I still give them (producers) a pass on the idol / advantage. They just happened to fall into the hands of the most incompetent players this season. (Jason, Scott, and Tai)

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    How often do you get your instances? (re-entry rate) I am just saying that if people are finally stepping up and contesting the open world mobs, it sounds like its back to poopsocking and drama. Meanwhile, there are virtually uncontested raid spawns every few days on Ragefire. The one...

    You would need some specific in-car app integration for that, I would think? The car's default Bluetooth pairing always uses traditional phone and SMS. I know BMW has an apps package, but no clue if they offer specifics like Hangouts. BMW Connectivity: BMW iPhone Apps

    Same. My Win10 Geforce experience has been perfect. No issues whatsoever. Only gripe is from NVidia, who seem to shit out drivers every other week. When using two monitors, it shoves everything on the 2nd monitor to the primary display when upgrading the driver. It doesn't ever revert back...

    Smartphones

    Blame Apple and their shitty tech for the widespread use of 1A chargers. Their phones have long since only used 1A chargers, so most aftermarket car chargers used 1A outputs as to not overcharge them. Many other manufacturers like Samsung, etc have used 2A+ for much quicker charging. When you...

    The irony in all of this was the guilds from Ragefire (TL and RG) that left for greener "uncontested" Phinny pastures for the instancing. Yet, here we are back at square one.

    Survivor

    Claiming the super idol and extra votes didn't matter is pretty ignorant. Just because they aren't actually played does not mean they didn't have a big impact on the game. Vote results changed simply because people knew others had idols and special advantages. Granted, Tai completely blew the...

    Also want to reiterate how shitty that reunion episode was. So much of it eaten up by Drew Carrey for no god damn reason at all and "Cousin Itt" for what should have been a <1min bit. All that wasted time could have been reunion gold with Probst calling out Scott and Jason's dumbassery. Probably...

    I need to dig around the net for some post-season interviews. I really want to hear Jason and Scott's take on the season now in retrospect. I am sure the internet thinks their game play was just as terrible as we do and have criticized them. I'd like to know if they can be self critical at this...

    I use Spotify over a BT connection in my car and mine plays just fine. Hell, I can get out of my car and grab a coffee (Spotify will automatically stop / pause on my phone) but once I fire the car back up it will pair and continue playing where it left off.

    As a maxed Monk on Ragrefire, you do want either a Vulak or Tunare fist. (Vulak being slightly better). Epic fists do not have any dmg bonus, while those two weapons do and they will parse higher. Dmg bonus does not work for offhand, so using one of them in your primary fist only and bare epic...

    Who the fuck doesn't simply use Spotify or Pandora these days? $10 a month doesn't break the bank and I have whatever I need at my fingertips. No need to study for an interview (lol) or worry about a rare invite and keeping ratio.

    Wow. Just wow. I want to give that crazy nut bag the benefit of the doubt. If she truly went 7 days without sleep, that would fuck with your head! That said, I probably would have done the same thing as the Viking dude at that point and separated myself from her.

    Nev and Vyemm are the two most difficult Velious fights. 3 of the ST Warders are piss easy. Nearly Vindi level difficulty. (Gorenaire AE clone warder being the exception)

    The problem is epic monk dmg tables are way out of era. There is literally no better weapon for a monk until very late Velious and only for primary slot (due to dmg bonus). One is Gharn Rock from Vulak and the other is Fist of Nature from Tunare. Secondary slot bare fist is still better than...

    Good luck with attrition. All the power to you if you get no healers "taking a break" and not returning. Sad fact is, it is one of the only raid quality IH3 items available for a while.

    I give them credit for trying to stem the usual sub drop when GoD hits progressions servers. A lot of people have bad memories and just don't want anything to do with it. Perhaps fast tracking through it, they figure maybe they can keep more subs to see the later content.

    No performance reviews yet? Per the chart below, I wonder how it will do vs the 980Ti. It has fewer CUDA Cores and smaller bandwidth on the bus.
