    Ye Olde Sodie Pops Thread

    I grew up in Florida, but all of my family is from Michigan. On summer vacations, there would be cases of Rock N Rye stashed in the back of the car for the return home! Good stuff! I don't drink much soda these days, but nothing beats an ice cold A&W.

    Take the job or not?

    First off, an American lawyer does fuck all for you. Work contracts are laid out in pretty simple to understand terms. If they breach those terms, you have zero recourse with a US lawyer or courts. You are at the whim of the UAE laws and system. That said, I think the risk of that is fairly low...

    I am willing to bet many people will (already have) quit over this shitty release clusterfuck and overpopulation / login issues. DBG just doesn't get it. They are pissing away free money.

    Take the job or not?

    While I would certainly prefer to work in Dubai over Qatar, there has been a lot of press about a big teacher hiring spree in Qatar for next semester. Might be something you would be interested in. There is Education City here in Doha that has some top universities like: Northwestern University...

    Take the job or not?

    I have lived in Qatar for the last 9 years, been to Dubai a dozen times and have friends and colleagues that work there. First off, that salary seems on the low side despite the fact you have housing included. Most people I know are fairly close to 6 figures. When I came over, I literally...

    It's a valid arument though. The raid mobs are being taken down by mostly mage teams (see my SS above). I agree raids are not difficult, but they are pretty damn EZ mode with the current live pet code. That is nothing at all like classic.

    No big surprise, but here is the raid for Naggy. Mage army!!

    Yea, I linked that elsewhere on the forum but it is absolutely relevant. Great movie!! I'd love to have a (less murder prone) sexbot!

    Saw some TL boxers clearing automating. Any mob that paths near them, all casters face the mob and cast at the same time. Mob dies, all sit at the same time. There will be more suspensions / bans coming for that kind of obvious automated activity.

    The AFK boots are like using chewing gum to plug holes in a dam. They are completely missing the bigger picture. They should quite simply be able to look at all the new subs and get solid numbers for how many people they can expect to be trying to log in. We are going to be sitting at cap all...

    3 Hours of scripting, finally get in, only to have the server reboot in 10 mins. =(

    The AFK boots aren't going to help a damn thing. There are thousands of accounts trying to be logged in right now. I am pretty damn convinced DBG Devs took a half day for the holiday weekend. Someone posted over at the main forums that one of the devs posted a tweet from the bar a couple hours...

    It's fucking Friday morning / afternoon. If it is this bad now, what the fuck do they think the holiday weekend is going to look like!?? They need a 2nd if not 3rd server asap!

    The only throwback I immediately recognized was the little music box one of the girls had was in one of the earlier films.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Movie was all you guys hyped it up to be!! Loved the practical effects on all of the vehicles. It's refreshing not to have an entire CGI shitfest! This will be added to my BluRay collection for sure.

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    It's exactly the same as normal play through, the only difference is permadeath. As you get to higher levels (nightmare / hell) it gets significantly more difficult with more ambushes and champion mobs. Same as "normal" mode.

    If I play, it's to enjoy the OP atmosphere of the newer pet code. Hell, I might 4 box and add another mage. Still very undecided.

    I just might give this a try. What is the download we need for this? I have no clue what to box! Mage, Mage, Bard? Mage, Mage, Shm? Mage, Mage, Dru?

    I am just put off with the whole Hardcore mode. The only way to level is exactly how you describe by playing as ultra safe as possible. It is very little to do with skill as it is pure RNG. Fight a boss that spawns adds: he summons "normal" trash = fair win / He summons frenzying super buffed...

    Pretty much how every BT speaker I have ever seen works too. Hold the power button for pairing, otherwise it isn't constantly seeking for a new pairing.

    It's not just the processor upgrades like Mist laid out, it's also the Sunrise Point platform controller chipset upgades too. Native support for up to ten USB 3.0 ports, twenty PCIe 3.0 lanes, three M.2 Sata ports, DMI 3.0, etc. It's a pretty good leap over the previous gen. I already have a...
