GM Crumpet

I use it to open a build someone gives me then slavishly follow it. I'm so bad at making builds myself, but some people are happy to spend hours frankenslotting for the elusive last 1% and I would feel churlish to not take advantage of their efforts.

Ah. Drama. Don't make me come over there!!

<runs off screaming>

Done that many times 🙂

Well I have a number of Karen alts, and most of them are villains. Except Karen the Barbarian. She's technically good even if she will demand to see the manager and doesn't care how many people she has to kill go through to get to him. She may well set fire to the offices as well just to emphasise her point.

That we can't help you with. All you can do is email them and ask nicely if they will return it, but they have no obligation to do so. Of course they may not have logged that account on in years so won't see it. If the email doesn't exist it will bounce back eventually

When you consider a billion inf couch cushion change you know you've "won" the game 😛

Put a ticket in and we'll restore the character for you, then you can claim the inf back and delete the character again. Just tell us the name of the alt and the shard it was on.

Didn't you know that screaming at people and demanding to see the manager is a tried and trusted way of getting results faster?

please don't do this. We generic AE arcs as well as players alts

I appreciate your input. I like to think people know that we try to be fair. Sometimes it means we don't do anything as drastic as some people would like, but I have found in my years of being a GM that most people are just passionate, plus it's human nature to want the last word so arguments go on longer than they really should. I tend to dabble on the forums, Googly and Widower do the majority of the moderation. I'm usually the one to blame if you log in and find half your alts naked and named generic <number>.

I like to think of it as friendly chastisement. Spanking sounds so old fashioned 😛

Dang, that's seriously off topic but also interesting. I bought a 4060 TI last year for £400 (around $500 US) and it plays everything I need in gorgeous 4K. And my entire 32 core Threadripper PC cost less 3 years ago than that video card price quoted above.

I'm locking this thread as the bot raised a necro thread from the dead.

All hail our AI overlords

My apologies if it sounded like I was trivialising the work. Even just a small change can take ages to implement as it needs to be checked and double checked, then the whole thing updated. I know how much time a "minor" fix can take 🙂

As stated above, if we change something we let AboveTheChemist know so they can update vidiotmaps as required. It might take a few days if the change is a last minute thing, but we appreciate the work they do for no reward except the gratitude of everyone who uses vidiotmaps. Any changes between updates are generally just slight tweaks if a marker is slightly out. And that is a very rare situation.

Never experienced it myself, but unless there's a little box "don't show this again" then no,

Well considering one of the main parts is to give valentines cards to people and the new update is celebrating a wedding, yeah it's a Valentines event. And it's also Spring somewhere. Technically Spring begins in the UK March 20th, but the daffodils are sprouting and there are buds on the trees. Winter began 21/12/2024 but I'd already had my heating on a month or so by that point.

Yeesh. This thread is old. And getting hairy. I'll lock it for now unless someone like Number six wants it to remain open.

Same for me. I'll follow someone elses build if it's good, but often it doesn't fit with my playstyle. "Why did they take that power? It's rubbish" kind of thing. I have the same problem in Diablo 4. Online builds are a decent guide, but they always seem to shove a power I hate or never use in there over something I think is awesome. And don't get me started on legendaries and mythics and devs forcing their build choices on players with the sometimes quite odd choices they make for the bonuses.

People have their must picks that others think are optional. Personally unless I'm aiming for something that's up all the time with minimal cool down like Phantom Army or Light form I generally don't bother with stuff like LotG or hasten. My must have is three slot my travel power and pop Blessing of the Zephyr in there. Caps the travel powers distance/speed and gives knockback resistance. Buy it attuned at level 7 when it becomes available then never think of it again. The fact is, we are a lot cheaper than live so can reach maximum potential. Live was so expensive that slotting some enhancements or sets was only a dream. Farming for massive amounts of inf wasn't something too many people knew about, and having multiple accounts was expensive for a lot of us. Now it's a matter of making a new email address and creating a game account. In those days it was a regular added cost every month.

Eventually you'll be given membership whether you like it or not as it's required for the Incarnate content.

It might be causing a clash, does it change anything if you close Pandora and firefox down completely?

I'm probably wrong. I just don't like either of those programs and haven't for a long time. I don't know when they changed but I used Norton all the time in the 90's and 2000's. Then they went horrible.
