    Does this mean we need to upgrade to 675 on the work order guys? That is kind of annoying but doable.

    If anyone is in MN, the U of MN Rec Center is demoing an imaging unit that takes an avatar of your body and gets your measurements and such. I was in with my group to use the BodPod and they let us try out the other device just for fun. I think it was mainly novelty but it does give you an...

    Sleep Studies / Sleep Apnea

    Anecdotal story, friend had sleep apnea and went in for study. Woke himself up so many times per minute he was in the highest category. Got him a CPAP, he started sleeping well. Seemed worth it. Personally, my wife complained about my snoring. I then lost weight and my snoring went away...

    Upgraded my followers to 675. Received Heroic BRF. 7/7N HM - 38 kills 6/7H HM - 22 kills 9/10 NBRF - 21 kills On a side note, I may not have noticed it before, but my dudes got increased success chance at 675 vs. 660. I don't remember that being the case before, but I topped out my...

    Care to share any interesting tidbits? I am always interested in improving my Pally game. My gear is actually getting decent enough that I need to be comfortable spending more mana as I end fights over 80% while still being top heals. So I guess I can be top...more. It is actually really...

    Tried PUGing Normal Blackhand for an hour or two last night. Was joining a guilds progression run so they were learning as well. We never got to phase 3, but we got close. The dudes in the stands seemed to be the stopper for the group. Good god that fight is a cluster. I am going to need to...

    Largely because I don't want the responsibility. Secondly, because I don't have AOTC and am not 665+ (657) myself and I don't want to be that guy. Perhaps I will feel differently once I am left with only really needing Imp gear and / or next tier is on the way.

    On the other end of the spectrum, first week of normal PUGs and I got up to 6/10N. From the grouping with randoms category, anything that involves movement will quickly tell the quality of your PUG. Operator / Oregorger are really good benchmarks. I am not sure if I got lucky, but Hans /...

    Has anyone else been holding onto their crates for when BRF BoEs are available? I am up to around 200 sitting on a couple of dudes. I am trying to hold out so that if I get a BoE, I get one that may be worth money.

    Firefight drew me in pretty well. Once I was a couple chapters in, and the David / Megan interactions started, I was hooked. This guy is just killing me, too many good books with years in between. I have never really had to deal with waiting in real time before. I usually pick up a...

    I wish they would just give apexis crystals for spam running dungeons and then change scraps to be redeemable for armor / weapons in a similar fashion. Apexis gear isn't going to ever be the best, which would make raiders happy, and it would be on par with heroic raid gear potentially and make...

    If you want a bit more functionality, there is Splashtop. I switched over to that from VNC and I went from the situation you are describing to being able to do missions, daily garrison running around, and occasionally I fish and / or go be semi worthless on the apexis daily. It is paid though.

    Fell off the wagon pretty good over the holidays. Managed to gain around 10 lbs (up to 180) over Nov / Dec due to willpower issues. I am guessing 2 - 3 lbs is water weight that should be shed going back to Keto full time. The holidays are pretty brutal for me. Did about the same thing last...

    For whatever reason, I really enjoy running 5 man content. I wish they had a better reward system. Generally speaking, I am more likely to have time to complete 5 mans rather than raids. Some sort of token system like Secret World would be nice. Wouldn't give mythic gear or anything, but...

    I am not sure I would change what I did, worked out well in the end. If one of your professions is gathering I build a storehouse in the end. It is a convenience item but the extra work orders can be nice if you want to auto pilot for a while. Profession, Trade Post, Salvage Yard...

    Wait wait, are you saying you can use bonus rolls on the same boss multiple times per week or am I reading this wrong? I thought it was just normal loot + one bonus per week.

    Yeah, I got an Endwyn's Toothy Grin or some such blue helmet. According to auctioneer that is a quick 10k gold. I feel like dumping the decent xmogs quick is pretty key. If blizzard truely put the most used xmog stuff into crates, the market will probably fall out pretty quickly.
