Yah locks super strong pvp and pve. Mages are always good at everything in every expansion. Hunters as well as mentioned above.

That sounds like the ā€œstreamerā€ server. I like drama. Really tempting to just say I’ve played it lmao. I’m kind of more worried I’ll like it like jmakin says people are and come out of a WOW haze next spring sometime.

Lol. Trevor might be the least family friendly video game character of all time.

Within the first 20 minutes I was wondering what the fuck I was recommending to 10-12 year olds lmao.

Yep, in the first twenty minutes you have a bank robbery, a bunch of murder, a therapy session where a guy talks about his worthless son jerking off, and a couple of carjackings with two guys who will not stop using the N word. And youre still at least an hour away from meeting Trevor who we are introduced to with graphic fucking, curb stomping, and the C word repeated 7 times.

The thing is, I bet they are playing it at another friend’s house anyway. That’s why they are begging for it I’m sure. ā€œBut Bobby has it!ā€

Having kids seems weird af to me still even in middle ages. Discipline wise. I grew up in an environment like the Jesus Camp movie parent wise but also like saw my first porn in 4th grade and tried to smoke weed from my Minneapolis cousins before high school. It didn’t dry before I left. We stole it from some farm at another relative’s barbecue. Then, on tour (Dead hippie related tours) I see kids all over the lots with drugs and shit going on around them. I wonder how protective or open I would be towards them. I mean, I at least know the drug war was wrong and we were lied to but I imagine some protective instincts also with your own kids. Wrong thread for my thoughts probably lol.

I have installed WOW. WTF am I doing? Got a month at least to see the hype.

Someone took my name I’ve been using since Warhammer Online. Got it for several games after and now I have to get it right at launch or some asshole takes it. Posers!!

Roll a tank on faerlina and you’ll instantly have a spot in my raid, i’m an officer now in my guild and we’re slowly prepping for kara

Be warned there’s like 3 people vying for the role rn but only one looks promising.

I still play online poker full-time and I feel it’s the main thing holding me back from gaming a lot more. I still kinda enjoy poker a bit, so I feel like if I devote too much time to video games, then I’m just wasting my time b/c I could be playing poker. I still give myself 5 hours/week play-time, but could easily 5x that.

I know you’ve mentioned this before but I’d love a tr. were you world first downing him or attempting? God i wish you were on faerlina, I need tanks sooo bad.

This is gonna be my first run as an officer in a raiding guild in a really really long time. I’m excited but feel like it’s gonna be a lot of work. My guild leader keeps talking about switching games or servers and I may end up leading this shit at some point at this rate, lol. Don’t really wanna be a guild leader though. We have a pretty cool group of core people I’ve really been enjoying shooting the shit with on discord.

I almost hit level 69 last night; I pulled a marathon grinding session. I expect I’ll hit 70 tomorrow. Then I will either work on boosting other guildies’ paladin alts, or my own rep grinds. Alchemy requires revered with practically every faction for the xmute recipes, and I get a pre-kara BIS bow from exalted thrallmar rep, so there’s a poopyload of shattered halls runs in my future. Luckily I’ve been doing world pvp and have banked 50 marks of thrallmar, so I can buy those items for 5 marks that increase your rep gains by 50% or whatever to speed it way up.

It seems like I’m leveling fast compared to most of the guild but really I’m just putting in a ton of hours and brute forcing it. It’s taking me 10-12 hours per level :/

Nice, it’s a rough grind for sure. I hit 69 last night and got about 25% of a level doing one Shadow Labs, which was about an hour or so. I honestly feel like it hasn’t been too bad of a grind since I didn’t go hardcore like some of my other guildies and reach 70 last weekend. For the rest of the grind to 70, I’m just going to be in dungeons and the quests I need to complete for Karazhan attunement. I’d highly recommend going to pick that up now out in Deadwind Pass to at least get it started, since some of the dungeons you’re going to be doing anyway will have quests associated with attunement.

Revered with the various factions will also be required to enter heroic dungeons, so it’s a grind you’re going to have to make anyway regardless of alchemy.

I personally would absolutely hate being an officer/leader in a guild. I play for fun and I don’t want to deal with any drama. My guild is likely a little different though, we’re a dad guild that cleared Naxx and had it on farm for the last few months of Classic. We’re also planning on having 3x25 person raid teams, so there are a lot of personalities, scheduling, organization, and just random bullshit that doesn’t seem fun to me.

Thanks, good advice about kara. I want to be attuned by sunday but I don’t know what my rush is. We only have a few 70’s.

I want to be an officer because I like this guild, and I’m good at it - I feel I am pretty good at managing personalities and have enough charisma and recruiting ability to get us inside kara within a month. If I wasn’t an officer I feel it wouldn’t be my place really. I have a pretty no-bs attitude about raiding, I won’t tolerate loot hogs, primadonnas, or people who expect to be carried. We aren’t super sweaty tryhards and I don’t expect that but I do have certain minimum expectations that I feel I won’t be able to enforce if I’m not an officer.

I’m trying to create a guild culture of helping each other out and doing what’s best for the guild rather than what’s best for yourself, and I’m trying to lead by example. I already booted someone yesterday for throwing a shitfit over a ramparts locked chest - the guy felt that since he was a rogue he was entitled to all the gear, but since we were in a pub the rest of us felt it should just be rolled for. He flipped his shit and needed on a green piece of caster cloth. Yea, no, you’ll be a nightmare to raid with, goodbye!

I guess I’m just a control freak but I feel things will go a lot smoother if I’m in a leadership position, and I want to reach the endgame content. I always regretted never progressing very far in tbc. Now I can fulfill that gamer dream if I keep at it I think.

That’s wild, thanks for sharing. Yea I was amazed at the world buff meta when I came back. It’s funny to me reading that, when you say it took multiple days for a world first, I can’t even fathom that now. People did kara/gruul/mag within 24 hours of tbc classic and I’m pretty sure when nef came out it was a matter of just a few hours before he was downed.

That’s a pretty big gaming accomplishment - I can only dream. I would honestly kill to have you as our MT lol. Ours are kind of bad. We have one really good druid but he’s still lower leveled and since he plays retail he may just be buying time til 9.1 or whatever comes out.

ETA: world first nef on classic took 30 mins. Lmfao.

I’m about to start up Dark Souls Remastered. Do I need to follow a character build or just yolo it?

I played Dark Souls 3 when it came out and honestly I forgot the in and outs of it. I’ll probably go with a STR heavy build. I wasn’t sure if there were significant differences between 3 and 1.
