Timeline reminder

The author that seems to go by bart is blocking access to his addon behind subscribing to his patreon.

I was wondering if anyone had the season 2 version they would be willing to share, so that I don't have to support that scummy behavior

Team vs pugging and other mythic Plus stuff

Is there any way to incentivize players to form groups? Should anything more be added to incentivize?

Could anything more exist without creating a gap between players that pug and those that don't?

Is it more an issue of disproportionate interest between the roles?

How do you feel playing mythic Plus?

Some issues I've noticed/experienced

- healers getting judged for their dps parses. I get that you can't really judge healing parses so for those that care, the dps is the next best metric to look at. Let's be real though, a gray vs orange/pink parse is like 15k dps tops, out of a max ~60k.

- tanks have the highest requirement of consistent gameplay (meaning no deaths), healers come second then dps third. Tanks therefore should be the least likely to die (because their death has a disproportionate impact)

- resil keys in their current state are good because it keeps you closer to your skill ceiling, always easier to be able to progress compared to the previous non resil system. Groups were favored FAR more in the previous system

- resil keys are bad because, pugging as the key holder means you will always empirically be playing with players that aren't at your skill level yet. It can build resentment to put so much time and effort into running your resil key knowing you gain nothing, while only helping other gain more io. (The issue is more so the "zero gains" for endless attempts at the resil key. This is far far outweighed by the fact that you can't chain deplete as a pug player)

- due to the tank role being the least popular, those that do play tank get basically free invites to any key with no wait. Why would a tank ever want a group, needing to run resil keys, when they could pug into io keys faster.

Some ideas that might help:

- Make tanks tankier. That solves what I would consider the biggest issue. This cascades down into many other things, better survivability means less stress or fear of trying new routes, less risk for trying/learning new things as a tank, more players potentially interested due to less risk of dying and disappointing the group

- change how keys work. Preferring a solution that

- prevents chain depleting keys

- enabled group compositions when pugging that ensure equal player skill between members

- discourages or disincentivize boosting keys

- limit title and other mythic Plus rewards to the account rather than the character - it should be representative of the player (you could stay say title earned on X class tho for clarity)

- modify roles in a manner that legitimately achieves proper population distribution (20 of players playing tanks/healers, 60% DPS) for mythic Plus, I know raid role distribution is different

This might be a silly suggestion but what about adding a feature to pause mythic Plus runs - for example if the group agrees to enable pausing then it would free literally everything, the timer, cooldowns, NPCs. That could be nice for disconnects or other similar issues.

ground affect settings [help]

Can I get some reccomendations on the best settings to help me see abilities on the ground, specifically only the enemy abilities. There is SO much ground clutter and clipping/overlapping that, even when staring at the ground, some abilities are near impossible to see

pre defined config settings

I got the prusa core one plus, jsut completed the build, and printed the benchy that was on the usb. I did not slice it, didnt do anything it was preloaded.

It printed exceptionally well. Some under extrusion on some corners, overhang good, some issues with the archways.

I didnt know the config it used, so I started from a different config I found in prusa slicer. I dont think I picked a correct preset because it printed the first couple layers the stopped extruding.

Is there an existing prusa slicer config that is tuned for the core one plus that I could start from? Id really like to avoid starting from such a bad config

What about the inverse

You HAVE to push a button.

If more than 50% press the red button, then everyone who pressed red dies.

If more than 50% press blue, then everyone dies.

I am really proud of a solution I came up with and wanted to share the update!
My addon is SpellStyler
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/spellstyler

What I added is visibility based on spell/buff charges, as well as the ability to controll properties of the spell/buff frame based on charges.

https://reddit.com/link/1t45emj/video/59p4zvx409zg1/player

The video is a demo of the feature. The orange bubbles are a spell cooldown tracker for the spell "Renewing Mists"
Normally the spell icon is blue. I added a conditional that says "Make it orange when above two stacks" as well as a visibility condition that says "Hide the whole frame when charges are less than 2"
You can modify any properties of the frame conditionally (icon size, color, cooldown text size, position, ect.)

The add-on as a whole is a spell and buff tracking addon.
Might be worth mentioning you can have statusBars for both buffs and spells. Buffs are based on those available in the cooldown manager, and spell can track any spell of your character.

If you want to try it out but have questions implementing it, or want to request an update or anything feel free to reach out on the discord linked in the addon page!
