They could have changed the effect of the spell from being spread to just being blank, but during that time people would kill the now super nerfed boss easily, basically exploiting the fact that it is disabled.

They probably thought that “this will pass, no need to risk players exploiting just because some low levels die a few times”, and therefore didn’t do that.

There is no easy way to add that location check on to the spell itself, so it would have to be a custom c++ code written for it, which requires way more publishing approval than changing the spell (sql). This would also require downtime for each server to apply the core code changes, and maintenence etc, which they used to have one day a week, and for planned things.

Once they had that code in place though they made pets immune, but too many players had lost a lot of gold in repairs etc, and the rest of the game lacked players due to fear, that rolling back was the easiest way to earn back approval of players.

Spell fixes required a server reset, yes. That was still a thing until Legion or something. Definitely a thing in wotlk client.

A way to remove friction here is robovacs. I have mine to run on a timer so I don’t even have to start it myself.

That’s how the spells work in wow. The BUFF would get removed if you left the room, but the issue was that pets would get it in the room and resummoned in cities, and since the buff removal thing happened while the pet was desummoned the removal didn’t apply.

Doing a check each time the buff spreads is inefficient use of server.

Also, changing anything about the spell requires servers to be shut down, and they didn’t want that for each fix attempt until they saw no other way and had roll back the servers.

I’ve always been like this as well. I forget everything unless I think really hard about it and trace the events step by step.

There’s also the autism of not wanting to be observed, so if I am to remember I have to force myself to “observe” myself through asking my own mind what I did. Which might be the reason for the “forgetting” as a way of unconscious protection.

I don’t know the solution either, I was just venting :p

Thanks. Thought it was Steve wozniak

Who is the guy in the top left?

I don’t remember telling “anyone” the story, so I get excited I have a relevant story to tell, and they interrupt me 2 sentences in saying they have heard it before, which breaks my excitement and I get sad my memory is shit.

And gaslight them into thinking it was always only your memory and they coopted it.

Include or is the funniest answers when possible. I do it all the time to confuse neurotypicals.

Yeah, Europe ones. China isn’t socialist.

The traffic and living situations in socialist countries are also not as bad as in USA due to better public transport and denser housing near work, so remove an extra hour of commuting as well.

There are creators extensions that park the tabs if you don’t use them for a time. Thst way there is no ram being eaten on my tab group of 50 tabs that I want to have when I go back to that rabbit hole.

Combined as in both types of ADHD symptoms. Both Adhd-hyperactive and Adhd-inattentive, or full Adhd.

He is not trying to say that it’s also Autism or AuDhd.

You have 3 wishes.

First wish: I wish my last wish would count as me consuming two wishes. Second wish: I wish to have 0 wishes remaining.

First wish puts you down one wish, so ending at 2. Second wish removes one wish, so at one, then wish happens putting you at 0,

then because this second wish now becomes your last, as you have 0 remaining, the first wish then takes effect and consumes another wish, putting you to - 1 and overflowing.

Take your money to another country. There’s no credit check that follows you across borders.

Getting all that dopamine of a theoretical finished product, so you have no motivation to actually build the product. /cries in ADHD

Until it starts to get moldy and the time pressure of “enjoying the gift” sets in, it will not move an inch.

If I have two things to write down, I write them–… I write down the one thing I was thinking of.

This happens all the time to me. I’ve made a game of it, that when I land at the end of a thought spiral I work my way backwards to figure out how the hell i ended up at something weird.
