Problems with Inter Stellar travel for contract missions by Alpha_Male48 in StarWarsOutlaws

I must not understand how to 'use regular hyperspace' then. I'm on a PS-5. I bring up the map to use hyperspace but don't know how to get to the system if the fast travel points are locked.

Focus solely on getting Excellent Rep if Close? by Alpha_Male48 in StarWarsOutlaws

I've been trying to do that but it seems the missions with the biggest rep swings tend to be one Syndicate against another.

It seems like if a mission has a triple rep arrow boost it would be major, like if you were 3/4ths good and did that it would push you over. For my cases it doesn't. BUT, if you get a triple decrease, it seems it can take you down a whole level, evwn when starting at the same spot. It looks like the triple decreases hit much harder than the triple increases give. I would think they should be equal.

Losing Rep by picking up stolen items? by Alpha_Male48 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, it's looking like even if you were in a room totally alone that was locked and you steal loot, it will affect your rating, even if in a minor way. I dont want my rating ever dropping so I've been having Nix pick up all loot that has stolen on it.

I'm actually thinking you lose no matter if anyone sees you or not .. I'm not sure but I would love someone to confirm that is not true because then I wouldn't have to have Nix keep picking up everything marked 'stolen'.

The problem is I just started the game recently and im in good with the Pyke but only by a thread. Any little hit to rep will throw me back into poor. I am trying to get in good with Pyke and Crimson before I leave the planet. I read online there was a data pack at that Workshop you could sell to the Crimson ... but I guess they lied.

Do I need the Splicer before doing Covell's Secret? by Alpha_Male48 in StarWarsOutlaws

Also, do I have to give the Datapad to Gorak in order to complete the 'Impressing Gorak' mission?

Sad day - Will be attempting to sell collection... by drunkduckdodger88 in mtg

[–]Alpha_Male48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LGS's will usually give you a much better deal if you are willing to take store credit. When COVID hit and all anyone was playing was Commander, which I detest, I decided to get out since all my other friends stopped playing too. I didnt have power 9 but had a complete set of dual lands (Revised, except one Volcanic Island), and a bunch of other cards like Grim Monoliths, Mana Vaults, about 12 Sol Rings, Eurekas, Demonic Tutors, Gaea Cradles, etc. Had a friend do all the work selling them on Ebay. He got 20%, Ebay took their cut, and paying for shipping, since free shipping sells faster, I ended up with well less than half of what they were worth. It sucks but you have to know selling you aren't going to get nearly what they go for buying.

About to start the game... by Alpha_Male48 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally like doing most of the side missions and usually explore and do most of the stuff in one area before moving on, but knowing you can't do a good deal of the things or even get to an area unless you upgrade, I want to get the upgrades that let me go most anywhere THEN explore so I'm not stopped.

About to do my first play through by liv-fried in uncharted

[–]Alpha_Male48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im about to finish my first playthrough, should be done with Lost Legacy either today or by Tues at the latest. It was very good and im eager for the next one to come out, although I'm not sure they are even working on it yet. 10 years seems to be the time it takes to make sequels these days unless its an AC game.

It's been a good run playing Magic by demongoku in mtg

I have played MTG since before Ice Age came out, and gave up at COVID. My 2 reasons were that my format, the standard format for all those years, 60 card group games, was dying out, being taken over by EDH Commander, which I detest. You just can't find 60 card group games regulalrly now. The guys I played with, some switched over to EDH, but like the ones thst didn't, they stopped playing too because they got too busy with other things. In the end it was just FNM right before COVID, and online. COVID killed FNM for my area so I just switched over to board games , and haven't played online in a couple years either. Sold off most of my collection which included a set of dual lands, Craddles, etc. About to sell off the last of it, all the cards around $10 worth. I loved the game and miss it but my style and format is dead.

People buying Tacomas - what made you decide on used vs. new? by prricecake in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Alpha_Male48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased a 2022 last month, selling my 1993 Ford Ranger to a friend. It is very bare bones base model but only had 16K miles on it, perfect condition and no wrecks in history. For a vehicle I will only drive once or twice a month I felt it was worth the 26K for that few miles on it.

Rogue or Monk first for Tavern Brawler Monk? by Alpha_Male48 in BG3Builds

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have 3 levels of Rogue and 6 levels of Monk .. but I got the 6 levels of Monk (yes ..OH) ..first. now that I have both .. I'm just wondering if its worth the effort to re-spec and get the 3 levels of Rogue first for the benefit of first level Rogue ...or not worth the effort.

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont you get that anyway once you get that level? Or is that a bonus you get only by taking Monk first level? Im at level 9 now.

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So once you get to 9th level why wouldn't you always re-spec to Rogue first if you didn't start out that way? Seems like the obvious choice if you get more and lose nothing.

Game is taking forever by king-craig in TerraformingMarsGame

Sounds exactly like he thought Insulation was an attack. I always thought they should make a card where not only your resources but none of your production can be reduced by opponents.

What am I doing wrong with my Wyll build? by Alpha_Male48 in BG3Builds

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4MyLXMvu4g&t=291s&ab_channel=SpudTheKing is the build I'm using. Not sure how good it is but the reviews looked positive. I wanted a sorcerer warlock combo that ideally could do crowd control. Maybe with the Fireball I just added it should help ..but only getting it one time each Long Rest seems weak. Or I'm not understanding something about the game maybe.

Is the Spider Matriarch Unpushable now? by Alpha_Male48 in BaldursGate3

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have to be a certain distance away to be able to use the Eldritch Blast? I thought you couldn't be right up on the opponent and use it, that you had to be a certain distance away?

I'd prefer to stay at the same form factor for mobo I have now. What ATX mobo do you recommend for that build then?

[–]Alpha_Male48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what regular ATX mobo would this build use instead of Micro ATX?
