    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    The Iksar Shadowknight "epic" weapon was the one with free bane damage. Honestly, the Iksar class weapon/armor questlines were some of the most satisfying shit I've done in MMOs

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Well, right now just going to get back up to speed with the C++ and XML since that's what I have a past basis in. My Dad was an information security/audit guy and I was the editor for all his papers/books, so I've got decent familiarity base with that subject matter from contact. I figure if I...

    So these on-sale Udemy classes might be a decent first step to take? I've basically got nothing but time the next 3-6 months as the Estate sale processes and the School remains closed, so probably going to go pretty hard into things now to see what I can do before work creeps back into the...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Thanks for the replies, going to spend the summer re-familiarizing/updating myself and then see about tests or bootcamps in the area and cheap learning stuff for other common systems. I figure with the plague ain't nobody hiring in the next 6 months anyway. Made a lot of life choices in my 20s...

    So how fucked would I be if I tried to get into coding/it stuff at 34? Too old/late? I know C++ and XML from personal projects, but I assume that's basically baby-shit at this point.

    Miniature Painting

    Going to be moving into an apartment in the next 6-9 months, from a House, so now I feel like I've gotta rush and get all this grey plastic assembled and primed before I'm in the apartment and don't have a back yard anymore. On the plus side, the Knight Crusader is nearly finished...

    Sorting out my Mom's possessions, managed to get the 67 Mustang Convertible up and running today. God damn are old engines so much easier than newer ones. You can reach fucking everything with extra room for a lamp and a big ol ham sammich, all without having to pry any paneling/covering...

    Makes sense. I'll probably be staying in this city regardless, but I definitely don't want to get a home that ends up being a 45+ minute commute from where I end up working next year. Did the 2+ hours-of-driving-a-day shit out in Denver years ago and that's very much not something I want in my...

    First time selling and potentially buying a house in the next 3 months here, as I took care of my disabled Mom at our family home since senior year of High School (She made it 17 years into the "6 months to live", so hopefully I did pretty okay job), so never really did the whole 20s "launch...

    It takes two black lotuses to cast a craw wurm, so craw wurm is as good as two black lotuses. That's just basic maths.

    If you only do raiding as a WW Monk I could see being pretty pissy too. But there's like, 15 total WW Monks in the population, so meh.

    Steal the mechanics of that fucking class from the Dark Age of Camelot expansion that could have multiple different pets but had a total pet level budget. Mix n match. And then steal Vanguard's body-part-harvesting to gear up your pets. And then light it all on fire because fuck it Blizzard 2020.

    If they can't balance the current ones then why not add a new class? If everything's gonna be a clusterfuck might as well make it a big ol clusterfuck!

    Obviously the big brain play is to delay the expansion 4 months, but release the new level squish and leveling set-up early, then offer to unlock a new class early if you buy a 6month sub.

    Ikoria for Asia/Pacific releasing a week early on April 17th. Ikoria for North America and Europe delayed until May 15th. This is going to be a hilarious 4 weeks of ebay gouging.

    They do the dialogue boxes in a shitty way, Bran will give you the quest and the dialogue button won't be on his interaction panel. You have to close the panel and interact with bran again to get it to pop up.
