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.

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 until they saw no other way and had to restart them.

I do that because of the consistency difference between the huge pieces of crunchy onion and the smooth meat and mushy rice. If the onion is caramelised or cut to a mush, or onion powder I don’t mind it.

Yeah, Europe ones. China isn’t socialist.

The traffic and living situations in socialist countries are also not as bad as in USA, so remove an extra hour of commuting as well.

So much this. We need to take back our time and cut down towards a 20 hour work week on average. 4 day work week is a START.

Call it “Home maker” and it’s both gener neutral and more accurately stating it’s more than just a parent without a job, because making a home is a full time job.

Just wrap a scarf around your face and you will not be cold. Proper clothes is all you need to not even be uncomfortable.
Riding in snow is also not an issue if you regularly bike. A good tire and practice and you will not fall.

“low support needs” is the preferred term. Still having needs neurotypical people don’t, but not a lot of them. High support needs would be the opposite.

That will only result in an infection in the long term without medical intervention. Not helpful for the parasite class.

Learning to notice that the automatic thought are negative ones is the first step to learning to interrupt them once it happens and shift the future automatic thoughts to be more positive.
It takes time, but is well worth going for if you find yourself doing this a lot.

- Comment on Percentages 10 months ago:
I like how some games use “increases by +10%” as percentage points and “increases by 10%” as percentage.
Or how oath of exile does it, with “(base + base * increases by y%) x z% more”
So with a base of 5%, chance increased by 20%, and chance increased by 30%, with a 40% more chance, you’d get:
(5% + 5% x (20% + 30%)) x (1+40%) = 7.5% x 1.4 = 10.5%
- Comment on Percentages 10 months ago:
In game design +100% would be 10% + 100% = 110 crit.
Increases by +100% = base + 100% Increases by 100% = base + base x 100%
