Looking to finally add the Diamond Aspis to my PLD and WAR luas, and a few questions:
1) What would the function be to add a TP threshold ala Compensator for WAR JAs?
2) What all JAs would it cover? Assume Berserk/Aggressor/Warcry/Blood Rage/Restraint/Retaliatior for WAR, and Sentinel/Rampart/Fealty/Majesty/Palisade for PLD.

Guys, I hate to burst your bubble, but Shared Divergence will have drops. Think about it:

Best guess with accolades maybe purchase Rem's tales, or etched memories, or stuff like that (maybe other ex items, job cards omen beads, i dunno). I'd like to think you could get the guild upgrade items that are 1.1M gil but i doubt it will be that, af+3 is like 5-6M per piece and most of them are pretty meh these days. I mean even adding those items that are 1.1M for 99999 accolades wouldn't be game breaking since most people pretty much convert prize powders for a similar amount.
I mean you can get some of these stuff with sparks but its overpriced and shares the limit with acheron shields so no one does.
Guess we'll find out in a week! guess I'll hold off on trove in the mean time.

makes it sound like they are splitting the loud thud pool in two parts. With one part still being "loud thud" and the presumably better items from the current pool being relegated to "impossible to gauge" thud.
So I guess the generally undesirable stuff currently in loud thud will stay there.
Right, but in terms of the function of the game, you are rewarded either a thud(low chance) or loud thud(high chance) for a win. One would assume that thud would be replaced by loud thud to make way for impossible to gauge, right?
Gold = Thud
Rainbow = Loud Thud
??? = Impossible to Gauge Thud
Farming currency in dyna ffa though? People ask me if I'm on drugs.. lol |

It's daily. and free for all. I wouldn't be surprised if there are zero drops.
Sounds rife for exploitation. ... Not that people don't already go every single day with 4 cors on 16 char loops.

The way they phrased it
"At present, the "loud thud" can include items that can differ greatly in terms of both quality and desirability, meaning that it can lead to disappointment if you don't get the right items. Therefore, we have added a new category—"an impossible to gauge thud"—in order to help make the distinction even clearer."

Speculating about what color the chest for "impossible to gauge" will be is more rewarding than the actual event.

Remember that your good drops are not their good drops.
My question here is... does this mean that the rainbow chests will now guarantee "impossible to gauge" noise? |

It'll be allowing the purchase of initial reforge Job and Slot ingredient items (Wootz Ore, Phoenix Feather, etc.) with Accolades. Please look forward to it!
This seems the most likely explanation to me tbh |

Impossible to gauge could mean it's trash or it could mean it's slightly less trash.
It's.. impossible to gauge.

This is because you didn't do you taxes with those expenses, yes they are deductible, no the IRS doesn't make it easy to do. I provided the IRS guidelines, it's up to you to figure the rest out.
Having said that, HSA contributions just sidestep having to do all that paperwork or track everything throughout the year since the money going in was already pre-tax and consequently lowered your AGI.
I told you why my out of pocket max < 7.5% of my income. (read the link you posted!) So trust me when I say its in my form, it counts for 0.
Fenrir.Brimstonefox said: »Insurance companies (and/or providers) still find ways to deny coverage or make you fight for it, my insurance company for a period of time had no in-network anesthesiologists in my entire state. So every bill was a fight.
Prior to the ACA and it's restrictions on what insurance companies could do, they denied as a matter of policy. Didn't matter if it was covered or not, anything expense bigger then a cold got denied. This is because there are people who would either not fight it, or after fighting it would accept less then what the contract stipulated they should provide. All the lawsuits, settlements and fines were still less then the insurance companies were required to pay. It was such a one sided situation that it became a national issue that effected elections.
From some of the horror stories, you're better off trying to win the powerball in back to back draws than have an insurance company down there cover a band-aid, let alone an actual procedure of any kind.
Most of those stories are either pre-ACA, grossly exaggerated or missing very important details. Prior to the ACA, no matter what you had written in the policy (contract), insurance companies could just retroactively change it whenever they want, play insane games and your only legal recourse was to sue them in court and have them settle for the amount they owned you anyway, after you paid your own legal fees of course. It was very profitable for them to just sell a promise, then deny it after you had been paying your premiums. The ACA took almost all the tricks away from them and made it such that the government would sue them if they failed to honor their requirements as an "ACA Compliant" plan. Insurance companies are happy to fight consumers but absolutely do not want to fight the US Government.
I'm a very big fan of free market capitalism, but the private health insurance market was such a one sided scam that something had to be done. Free markets require both sides to enter into good faith enforceable contracts with some amount of information and decision making power. The only way I'd imagine going back to pre-ACA is if the government mandated a fine of $1 million USD per day per individual per event for any company found to be violating it's contractual obligations.
I think you're painting too bad of a picture before and too rosy of a picture after. (FWIW my wife has worked for insurance companies and providers so I've gotten some insight from both sides). There are horror stories every where and there's also mischaracterization everywhere. There's also a lot of gamesmanship and shell games to follow the rules and pick up slack where the "free market" is legislated out. Not that I expect to change your mind and probably derailed the thread enough. Cheers. |

If they are smart they will make everything pre-popped and non link aggro, otherwise it will be a shitshow for the kinds of players who it's aimed at. They will get swarmed instantly and wipe. Jeuno especially.
Also unless they add some kind of punishment for normal entry if you enter this or some kind of cost to it, geared players will go in there to *** around and swing their *** around to kill everything just cause they can.

It might be the only weapon whose final upgrade makes it worse. Excellent analysys, I have nothing to add other than you mentioned Hassanshin but forgot to mention Zanshin? The proper ones, which happens only when you miss, which is ~5% of the times.
Altough I don't think it should behave any differently here than for any other katana, just slightly more frequently over a fixed amount of time, I suppose.
So if you normally get say 1 Zanshin every 30 seconds (numbers are completely made up), you're gonna get 1,3 every 30 seconds with this GKT?
Lol, big deal right? |

@Senaki
What I'm about to say is going to suck, and probably piss you off, but it's just how it is.
Your degree doesn't matter, your grades do not matter, nothing you did in school matters. Those are all things from your point of view, and while nice for you, they have no impact on the employers point of view. From the employers perspective it's all about "what can you do for me", and "is this person going to be a problem". Congratulations you just became a salesman, the product you are selling is yourself and your customers are the employers.
Each job you apply for is a different customer with different requirements, so you need to tailor your sales pitch (application + screening interview + technical interview / etc) for that customer. Find out what their current technical challages are and what you can do for them. Documented work experience is the most valuable thing, which you don't have (or do you), so you have to rely on your personal projects or things you have done on the side to draw experience from.
On the whole military thing. This is a great option but really requires you to commit to it and understand what you are doing. Each branch has it's own codes but generally speaking they all have technical MOS's (military occupational specialties) and you need to ensure you get into one so that those years count as "work experience". The clearance is nice and all but defense contracting is not a very reliable long term career path due to how contracts are bid on and managed.
Yup this is pretty accurate. I realized this after finishing my BA in psychology and quickly decided to go to medical school to become a Psychiatrist. There is a doctor shortage and mental health is so difficult for folks to access, so I found that I am needed pretty much anywhere. I have my own practice, make my own hours and work 3 days a week. It is a very good living.
It was a LOT of work to get here but worth it because I am not about to enter that rat race you described, sounds like a nightmare. |

Wouldn't put it past mercs or trolls to enter the shared area and sweep it up to Wave 2 just to end the instance early and prevent players from utilizing it. Even if this isn't the case, it's still possible that the shared area will already be cleared by the time many players can sit down and play. |

The new Divergence area sounds better than I could've imagined.
I guess they're not gonna give RP and not drop Shards/Voids?
W/e, I don't need it but it feels good for the game in general.

News:
New shared areas in Dynamis – Divergence
Click image for larger version Name: 20251104_011.jpg Views: 3 Size: 35.3 KB ID: 14320
Sorry for the wait on this! We've finished our preparations on making Dynamis – Divergence available for solo play!
We have created a separate area and entrance from the current Divergence, so in order to distinguish between the two areas, the existing Divergence will continue to be referred to as the "occupied areas" and the new areas will be the "shared areas."
Note that there will be no changes made to the occupied areas. You can take them on using the same conditions as before.
The following is an overview of the newly established shared areas.
- The areas in each nation open and close at predetermined times
- The time limit cannot be extended
- You can take on the shared areas once per day (resets at 12:00 a.m. JST Earth time)
- After entering the area, other players can join you to take on the content
- The area ends when you defeat all of the Wave 2 enemies or reach the time limit
Please see the version update information for more details.
These new shared areas are designed to help players who found it difficult to take on the content before, and provide them an opportunity to upgrade their relic armor, or at least give them a better chance of doing so. It is our hope that as many adventurers as possible take advantage of this new feature.
----
This is good! As a returner trying to get multiple relic pieces on multiple jobs, this will just make tiering up so much easier. Especially as I am EU and all my linkshells run Dyna clears at 1am ... I can't be the only person suffering from a willingess to party up, but a lack of opportunities.
I like this. It gives people like me opportunity to progress, whilst not lowering difficulty and challenge to the higher tiers (i.e. I can't just solo a boss clear!)
Win win

Oh my word SE are adding pay to win items!
Some good and some bad coming. Starting with the good:
New AMAN Trove Items, and better distinction between trash Loud Thuds and the great new Impossible to Gauge Thud
Shared Dyna Divergence area that you can enter every day. Wonder if it'll be swamped on the busy servers, or dead on the others.
Exemplar points reward for the final RoV mission I guess?
Ability to check whether the Limbus NMs have been killed or not
And the bad/weird:
Sure.
