#servers at capacity

[mist-dancing]

Cool and interesting places I would live to see a warriors story take place:

- Old abandoned amusement park, eveyrthing’s overgrown in vines and surrounded by trees, but the ferrish wheel is still in tact, and the kids roller coaster cars are turned to the sides and used as small dens.

- Abandoned zoo, maybe there are still some animals left, but the cats have moved in and live in the cafe’s and gift stores. They hunt in the old enclosures and make accesories out of the odd looking giant prey bones everywhere. They avoid that one starved tiger on the other side of the zoo.

- A school, the ones where the classrooms are all separate buildings. Some cats live in the library, some cats have made classrooms into camps. They hunt at the old cafeteria that’s full of rats and mice, and they chase birds that nest in the roof.

- Crashed airplane cabin in the middle of the forest. The leaders den is the cockpit, the warriors sleep in the storage cabinets above the seats. There’s plenty soft nesting in the big hyde boxes at the back.

#feel free to add more #also this is just xenofiction in general #i wanna use the amusement park idea so bad for a rp server #unfortunately i don’t think i have the mental capacity to manage a rp server #warrior cats #warriors #wc

Since you added on to that Nobilis post, I don’t suppose you know where online one could find people to play with?

Aside from "in the notes of that post" (I'm secretly hoping at least one game starts directly from this suggestion, but not holding my breath for it)...

Following the Glitch Kickstarter back in 2020, a Discord server centered on the works of Jenna Moran emerged. It's probably the highest concentration of Nobilis players into one digital space. We also do a ton of other stuff there! Here's an invite link!*

If Discord doesn't suit you, I'm not sure - obviously I've seen that there's a rising awareness of Nobilis on tumblr, but it can be hard to coordinate between people hereabouts. I would encourage the would-be players reading this to organize amongst yourselves, though, like... tumblr might not be a place online where one could find people to play Nobilis now but I'd love for it to become such a place! Beyond that, well, me, personally, I'm really just a tumblr/Discord woman, for better or worse. I'm sure there are Nobilis players on Cohost! I probably even know them! But I don't know how to find 'em, necessarily. I'm open to comments from anyone with more information on this matter!

And just to be upfront about this part: the current state of affairs means that games of Nobilis tend to emerge slowly. This is something I'm hoping to change with my propaganda, certainly, but I don't want anyone to expect to roll into the Discord server and find a group day one. It might happen! Depends on how this post does, I imagine. But I don't want to give an unrealistic impression.

*this invite link is currently active and should remain so. If it is deactivated at some future point (due to spam or misuse) I will edit this post. right before I hit post I remembered I can't edit asks that I've answered. If the link don't work anymore we probably had a good reason!

#nobilis #glitch rpg #chuubo's marvelous wish-granting engine #wisher theurgist fatalist #i'm just a weird furry btw i don't have any official capacity in the nobilis community or the discord server linked here #just you know a ton of my friends are there #and my six-hour slowmode dream channel #there are other discord servers too of course but Ninuan (the one i linked) is the only one thats fully public #i do kind of regret how much discord has eaten up the community-building momentum that formerly was a bit more searchable #but thats the ecosystem i'm just filter feeding here

I mean I'd hoped to at least finish the tutorial on release day 😒

#we waited through all those delays just to have them flub because they didn't have proper server capacity 🥲 #what in hell is bad

[just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi]

Someday when I find my brain (I just had it it’s around here somewhere) I think it would be really fun to have a group crossover thing were we stick all the ocs that have the same name into a pile and force them to interact.

The chaos

#that would be a fun discord server #lol all the channels are the names of different ocs #please be aware I am not making a server #I do not have the mental capacity for that

if weverse don’t disable that damn comment section after this…

#I’m so serious like everyone needs to send emails #they have to increase the capacity of their servers #disable comments #or go back to using venewlive because that streaming website was always so stable #i almost rage quit like 6 times #i missed all of vocal line’s performance 🥹 #sammy files #bts #ot7 💫 #the seven stars in my universe

Work in Progress Whenever

I would say 'too much math, not enough writing this week,' but that would be less frustrating. 'Too much bullshit from an incompetent vendor that appears to have effectively DDOS'd themselves,' not enough writing this week.

Continuing with the theme of what my drafts look like, initial docs are frequently an explosion of bits and pieces, notes to self, etc. Eventually they get edited together into a coherent thing. My process would be modeled with an absurdly complicated exponential function.

Tagging: @hoochieblues @motherofqups @atypicalacademic and @cumbiazevran to share if you'd like.

#wip whenever #evyn leofhild #sindre asdason #more bad math jokes #but srsly when you sell your online textbook to a bunch of school districts you need to up the capacity of your servers #we won't get into the issues with the UI #or the database management #teaching while bipolar

This is another project I have going in LotRO: the cosmetic appearance these bows share used to be fairly common, but many loot tables have been reworked and these seem to be the only two that are theoretically still obtainable. And. I want it. Very badly.

I believe that I once had the Deadly Defender’s bow on my first character, but I wasn’t interested in cosmetics at the time and discarded it, but the memories are fuzzy so I can’t be certain. Additionally, I have no idea where I would have gotten it, since I didn’t do any group stuff at the time and given that it is bind on acquire but not a quest reward or barter item, I can only imagine that one gets it out of an instance chest somewhere between level 40-42. Stat-wise, it is identical to the Carved Lebethron Bow, the crafted bow of the same level, with the one exception that this item’s durability is tough while the crafted bow’s is normal. Indeed, stat-wise this weapon is entirely useless anymore, since a critted Carved Lebethron Bow is much better and critting recipes is a matter of ten tasks these days. It seems that when the game was new, this was quite a nice find, however, as I found a reference to it in the patch notes from February 2008, where it is described as a “rare weapon” that was likely meant to be somewhat of a prize for level 40 characters entering the endgame. While the loot tables have been altered quite a lot, many other items on this list are still available (and actively being used on some of my alts).

I have a lot less information about the Ashwood Recurve Bow, though my suspicion is that if it is anywhere to be found, it would be from the Isengard instances, as it is significantly better than the Bow of the Rider, a min-level 75 crafted bow that comes from Theodred’s Riders rep traders, but not as good as the Great River Bow, a min-level 75 crafted bow that comes from Men of Stangard rep traders. However I have never gotten anything except armor from those instances, and my personal belief is that this bow only still exists in the game’s files to be used in the character creation screen, where it is the default bow a hunter character will hold while you customize them, displayed along with other level 75 cosmetic gear available in the greater Dunland area. Part of the reason I believe this is because of the -10% Fire-arrow Miss Chance stat: as far as I can tell “Fire-arrow” is not currently a skill for any class in this game, and it would be an odd buff to add to the fire oil consumable which is class-locked to hunters and wardens, especially given that this consumable does not seem to increase one’s chances of missing. Some monster play characters have a skill called “Flaming Arrow,” but I can’t imagine a level 75 item being associated with the Ettenmoors. It seems to me that this is a reference to a deprecated skill, but this item was not updated to reflect that and therefore is no longer available for player use.

So all my hopes are hung on the Deadly Defender’s Bow, and all my hopes are aimed at instance reward chests. These loot tables have been altered, but not reworked entirely before level 50; unfortunately I’ve noticed a trend of not finding very interesting loot in these chests if one is playing through the instances overlevel, so I’ve been working on leveling a hunter to level 40 to run through instances on-level in hopes of acquiring it. This item is not referenced on the wiki (which is unsurprising; their database on non-quest reward items is understandably a bit thin) but I did locate a page someone made for it on lotrobuild.com. Unfortunately I’m unable to tell how old this page is (and therefore how long ago someone else had the item). But I do think it’s convincing evidence that it is still acquirable in-game.

I have, very occasionally, gotten bind on acquire rare gear as a normal drop from non-level scaling Vol. I instances such as Garth Agarwen and the Angmar endgame instances, and to be entirely honest the Deadly Defender’s Bow seems more in line with that sort of gear than what I get from a regular instance reward chest; the obvious problem, however, is the fact that there are no level 40 non-level scaling instances. I have gotten up to level 38 gear from Garth Agarwen, once, but never any lower than 50 from Angmar stuff. Part of me hopes that it may be available as a rare drop from a non-world instance, but that seems unlikely at best.

That’s where I’m at in the search right now. But if anyone else knows anything about where to find either of these bows (or other bows that share their appearance) please, please, please let me know!

#lotro #if anyones wondering how i got the tooltips thats thanks to lotrocompendium! a very useful addon for this search #although it has its limitations. my understanding is that items have to be manually added so it doesnt show EVERYTHING #also it does show deprecated items #and it stopped being updated at around level 85 #however i have never gotten an error message when using it to look at item tooltips #so i believe it can only show me things that exist in the games files in some capacity #that doesnt mean i can get them though. necessarily #its entirely possible that this only exists still because someone still has one somewhere #and probably they have some kind of rudimentary program that will delete it when the last person gets rid of theirs #to save on server space you know #thats what i would do #gosh look at that bow it is so beautiful #how come they got rid of that appearance and left us with all these dumbass crafted bow appearances that are bizarrely spiky

32 for Felix, if you're interested?

hello hello!! it has been Some Time but I do continue to think abt my guy on the regular

32. If they committed one petty crime / misdemeanor, what would it be? Why?

Felix could actually be persuaded into quite a bit of petty crime, assuming that it was an upward punch instead of a downward one (graffitiing some obnoxious noble's estate walls? sure. vandalizing a small business? no). of his own volition though, it would be something like participation in an underground fighting ring - not for the potential payout, but because it "sound like fun"

#I have hope that--someday--I will have such energy and capacity to rejoin discussion in the server #I do lurk from time to time still! and I miss y'all bunches #felix cousland #my ocs #blue answers

listening to dreams fall hard and thinking abt that one time my mom had a dream that i came out the her as a lesbian (she is clueless that im bi <3) and then saying that dreams make her tired often (💀) and that one time i had a series of dreams that id accidentally outed myself to her that felt so distressing that i was literally mildly upset for a few days after that and how that song conveys the closeted experience so well i think i should have a cry sesh to that song.......

#brb making that my handle in the csh server <3 #car seat headrest #csh #idk im feeling feelings :') #sometimes i think. woag theyre rlly gonna die not knowing (my fam). and sometimes im like. i wish they would know in some capacity but then #hashtag homophobia.... #tho i do think that mom would at least be mildly accepting she did think abt it at least. enough to have drwams abt it💀🤚 #ah well. #i am sorry to ppl in the csh tag for putting this in there but myb yknow. someone might relate idk. also this is for my own filing system #piksla.txt

[whimsyprinx]

i have accepted that like most of the issue rn is my refusal to speak to people first, but it’s also a very “if I stopped talking first then I wouldn’t hear from people” type of deal which is something I’ve struggled with for a while, like idk if the rsd and everything else that’s happened lately amplifying this feeling but I genuinely just feel like I’m never going to hear from some people again. and maybe it i reached out first I would but I’m stupid and petty and a brat and I don’t want to, I don’t want to a cowardly have to send a “hey how are you?” message, that won’t fix things it won’t make the feeling go away

#whimsy whispers #whims woes #i know I’m also like overreacting and being absurd but like it hurts #I’m sorry if I’m not interesting or if I’m annoying or if I’m just too much ig #I’m also sorry I’m dumb and petty and if my refusal to speak first is the problem but like #I almost always speak first #and I get ignored so often be it in the stupid servers I’m in or in pms and that’s also tiring #the desire to delete these immediately vs the desire (hope) that everyone of my friends sees these #i think I fully am the problem here #I’m being childish like my friends seeing this won’t make anything better it’ll probs make them want to speak to me less #but I keep making these posts bitching because i want to be heard in some capacity

[im-a-natural-gloom-boi]

Most of the time, I like getting my info about games from watching playthroughs (or if I'm SUPER into it, digging through wikis and stuff) if I can't play the game myself

Other times? I just watch other people yell about it and learn stuff that way lmao

#this is about BATDR in case you were wondering #im just popping into a server of mine occasionally and observing lmao #i do a similar thing with tv shows and movies too tho. sometimes i just don't have the brain capacity to dig into it myself #or in this case. i just don't have the desire to if i'm being honest. too busy beholding the new god of war game #ANYWAYS- tldr i'm having fun observing people lose their shit about BATDR from all the way over here lol #it's basically like the 'are ya winning son?' meme. except i'm not actually saying anything fsjfkd

[volostan]

Volo blues hitting hard tonight. Sometimes I wonder why I do all this, it makes me feel helpless. But I know it's meaningful for lots of people so I'm doing it for you fine folks

#not a volo #this is about twitter specifically #Tumblr is chill since I don't have to do content management <3 #I say 'lots of people' but it's not like I have any way to know about that though #I'm barely getting any feedback on what I do anyway #very sorry for venting out but it really got on me tonight I was close to tears at some point #needed to get it out of my system #there's also the discord situation #I'm sad things moved outside of volonation #don't get me wrong other servers are fine and all!!! I'm glad even #this is about me not being able to move up #I couldn't possibly be invested in 2 servers at once #And I have not enough social capacities to start things anew #I don't want to give up yet!!! but the day I will leave Volostan behind will be so much relief I tell you #I already know I will miss it though #ok that's the end now lmao sorry #EDIT more precisely it involve fear of missing out and social anxiety (the part where idk what people think of me so they hate me probably)
