@katiekats A week feels about just right to me, really. Enough that there's a time commitment, but not so much someone with a "real job" or whatever is going to be permanently left behind the Forever Alone lot. There's plenty to do at endgame too, like the Adventure packs what I mentioned to Hippo or the new Shadow of Destruction expansion which is grindy but neat. -

@purplehippo @katiekats In that context it fulfills a RP niche very well, and they recently improved the costume creator quite a bit to allow a lot more different costumes pieces to be used together. (This can lead to clipping issues sometimes but its still pretty neat) -

@takeshitakenji Might be ideal for your use case then, I'd think. Though there also is the fact that any GS/PA install is going to have MySQL to begin with. So it might be worth writing a fallback driver if dbm is unavailable. -

@katiekats Most of them are pretty old. It's fine now. Not great, mechanically, and you definitely want to try to grab a sub as opposed to free play, but not bad either, and you can level a character with a few days effort as opposed to the months WoW can take (I did @purplehippo and I's characters to 40 over like a week of kind of casual play). The costume crea… -

@purplehippo The GRAB alerts are very volatile, you can luck out on them, but I would never count on them as a source of income. Meanwhile the APs will always net you at least one high value piece (of course the problem is a lot of those ones are actually neat, and you might want to keep them, but that becomes very "first world problems" at that point.) -

@katiekats My review of On Alert (aka the reason Champions struggles with userbase to this day, because it was almost as awful as Black Market) went over like a lead balloon. Thankfully, it also went over like a lead balloon with the publisher, and De Stahl got shitcanned and many of the developers replaced, and its better now. They've since migrated to a new forum… -

@purplehippo Get the Jack Fool mask from Demonflame and you'll have 100 - 400G in your pocket. -

@purplehippo Most of the drops are fairly valuable to flog on the AH though. -

@takeshitakenji That's the thing, though. It's faster (if those benchmarks are still true anyways), but you're limiting what you can do.
At the same time, does a queue need very complicated queries? -

@takeshitakenji I believe there's been benchmarks done that show dbm is faster for very simple queries but I don't have that to hand, just from memory. -

@katiekats Archetype character = prebuilt class, Freeform character = I built the class Most of the archetypes are fine, but they can't carry a whole group. Most Freeform characters actually end up worse than the archetypes because people don't know how to properly build a class, at best, they're copies of the popular existing builds (Rayne's original build I put … -

@purplehippo The XP alerts are the only ones worth doing unless you're doing dailies for completion, and even then only worth doing if you're not endgame obviously. For the time investment, doing an Adventure pack like Whiteout or Demonflame is much better money. -

Tank was completely ignoring pulling aggro, and breaking apart groups with knocks when both DPS were AOE based. Healer was running into completely unrelated groups and aggroing them too. Second DPS to me was fine but obviously lower level since it scales health and stats but not the Advantages improvements, so they couldnt carry either. The support was mostly r… -

@archaeme Im getting direct mentions (salmon slaps because that's not a silly terminology at all) but not anything else, so I suspect something's still not quite right over there. -

@purplehippo The charity money wouldn't be a loss actually, it's a tax write off. In all likelihood this is more related to a combination of the costs of them developing the DRM they place on CPUs as well as them having definitely done quite the scad of diversity hires. The hires themselves aren't what cost money, it's the lost efficiency - wasted time on bad code … -
