Post Your Amusements!

[Mannstein]

Generally you can't get sued in Europe for offering help, if someone accepts it they are liable for any problems arising from the acceptance. Only if you offer inadequate help and are obliged to help in the first place (liek being a doctor) can you get punished, but still usually not get sued.

We even have the advantage of having a very slow and bad system where even if you sue someone for helping, you get bogged down in delays, process costs and attourney costs, that by the time you finaly get to a judge you already lost more money that you can ever get it back...

How is the expression?
It's so bad that it's good?

P.S. But generaly speaking even unsolicited help won't in most time get you sue or convicted. Only cases of gross incompetence or stupidity get you in trouble. And it has to be veryy bad and it still depends on the judge.

How are lvl 80s able to get in?

get summoned in?
even then i thought the level restriction was in place though....

Apparently there's a "bug" that a lvl 80 can enter if a lvl 90 enters first. I'm assuming this was low priority given the idea of "what could a lvl 80 do in a lvl 90 raid other than die horribly"

He said he managed to take down Stone Guard after 5 attempts and then got Feng to 15%.

The amount of hysteria on the forums was pretty comical. "DONT YOU GUYS SEE HOW THIS IS BAD? GUILDS WILL START BRINGING A LVL 80 TANK AND BLAH BLAH" and people claiming he was hacking that had absolutely no grasp on how Vengeance works.

Had a pally tank in my guild talk about how this was going to result in some change to paladin vengence - I hadn't heard about it.

Curious - since I haven't played a lvl 80 tankadin this expansion, was it just that they were getting hit hard enough to get insane amounts of attack power (and thus insane scaling on SS, damage and all sorts of other stuff), was able to take advantage of stat scaling to get very high avoidance/block and had just enough heals/absorbs to keep up?

just curious about how they got in..i have learned that people can solo insane fights given enough desire/skill

Hum,
Run in with CD, take 1hit and let the CD (what's the name) heal you to 40%?
Get buble for imunity, get SS on your self since your AP should be sky up?
Cancel Divine Shield and go to town? Keeping SS always?
I don think a HP pool of a lvl80 tank (no matter what the gear) can take even 1hit from a lvl90boss.

About nerfing Vengeance, despite the fact that i hate Vengeance, they will not touch it, they can and prob. will change the scalling from the SS at lower lvls.

Apparently there is some way to 'cheat' the gate if you have a level 90 go in first and are right on them when they go in... or at least so sayeth MMO champ denizens.

I haven't tried to enter one, and if indeed the portals can be fooled that easily, it seems really dumb (it's not like a physical door you can crowd through...). I'd think it more likely that the level restriction wasn't working or wasn't implemented.

No, it relied on an exploit related to Shield of the Righteous. There's a thread about it in AT&C if you want to read more.

They've already adjusted Vengeance to fix it, from reports. Vengeance is apparently capped at your max health now (so the L80 paladin would only get about 150k Vengeance at most, not 3 million).

da fuq with the HotS beta update...

no tech lab for reapers and no research for seige mode for tanks?
W...T...F.... sensing major nerf inc to terrans as soon as they realize how OP terran reaper into tanks will be...

You are not the only one to hate vengeance -

Vengeance cannot be a part of what we must do. If we allow our passions to turn to bloodlust, then we will become as vile as the Orcs.

I live in a town with a National Guard Base. There is an Air Force Base 3 hours (driving) away.

Lately, residents have been seeing blackhawk helicopters flying around their houses.

These people live in the rural areas surrounding where I live. They are flipping out about these choppers. It's a government takeover. They're planning to institute martial law, their searching for places to land in hiding and launch ground assaults to take away our guns. You name it, it's being said.

Wooboy. These people are crazy.

[Klaudandus]

Hahaha... Yeah, we had those Black Hawks a while back flyover over my house every single day a while back. We even had some Chinooks.

It was a 2-3 month long military exercise near the Mexican border.
