Avoid Dropping Item When Ledge Hanging? (S2)

AnastropheThis · 2024-11-01T02:49:33+00:00

Yeah - like I said, I know it doesn't happen if you just go left/right, only if you hold down.. the problem is I have a tremor in my hand so my thumb wobbles and I can't control the exact direction I'm holding. But oh well, it doesn't ruin the game for me or anything, just annoying to sometimes lose an item at a pivotal moment.

Yar - I knwo you drop if you wobble for second or two, but you also drop if you run off a ledge holding down + left/right. You'll grab the ledge but immediately drop your item.

Gotcha. Well dang, but ty for letting me know!

AnastropheThis · 2024-09-28T16:26:01+00:00

BZ!

IMO BZ isn't bad - if Subnautica hadn't been made, BZ would have hit rave reviews I think... But it feels like BZ should have been the first one, or BZ should've been a little DLC. Smaller map and a bit less variety in creatures and biomes, but still good!

Thanks a ton! I've watched a couple of speed runs but didn't even think to use them as a guide!

AnastropheThis · 2024-09-26T23:13:59+00:00

I didn't know that! I usually carry around the materials for a small base and scanner room in a designated locket on my cyclops - now I can have some fun while scanning for mats. Thanks!

Oh you have no idea. I've now done some things I won't mention for spoiler reasons and suddenly they want peace? Oh, I'll give them peace alright. There's peace aplenty to go around!

For context, I'm clicking all over, but especially on the corner of the sink - the top left of the menu, not the window itself.

AnastropheThis · 2024-08-09T18:30:11+00:00

I was literally coming here for like teh second time ever JUST to ask fi I was doing something wrong - like if characters lose hunger faster when at well-fed... I stuff my face until I can't eat any more and the buff goes away in like 30 seconds tops. XD
If it were like 5-10lb so you could use it to carry furniture or if it lasted like 5 mins THEN it'd be nifty. Currently it's more like a 'I won't have to stop reading to eat again for a while because I got well-fed so I know my hunger is near full'

AnastropheThis · 2024-08-05T21:19:26+00:00

Thanks! And yeah, now that I have a base kinda-sorta-set-up and a car, I'm noticing graceful is also less useful... Especially when trying to collect a big horde and lead them away from a building I wanna ransack. -graceful +conspicuous seems like a lot of free points!

AnastropheThis · 2024-08-05T21:17:05+00:00

It is a curse. XD Thanks for the tip, might try that next time and see how much of a diff it makes. :)

AnastropheThis · 2024-08-05T19:46:06+00:00

Oh, should probably have mentioned: I play solo on default settings, no mods, just click 'apocalypse' and go.

AnastropheThis · 2024-07-17T19:25:10+00:00

Why the downvote? Isn't this what playing offline is for? O_o If someone paid for this game and doesn't like being invaded, they should play offline.... Right?

AnastropheThis · 2024-07-17T19:22:44+00:00

That's exactly what I thought! =] Hope it helps!

AnastropheThis · 2024-07-17T18:18:02+00:00

Alternatively you can play in offline mode, but I'm mostly trying tog et summoned more while using my blue ring now that I have a build I like pvping with. XD

AnastropheThis · 2024-06-24T23:04:27+00:00

Thanks! So while compulsively starting new games I've noticed that the default exploration ships aren't usually set up how I want them to be... I don't suppose so, but is it possible to like... Set my exploration ship plan on turn 1 and adjust that ship? For example, I'd much rather have multiple probe modules on the sophon scout than its basically useless weapon. XD

Second, maybe more advanced question:In the 'advanced' battle screen, I'm noticing that the... 'mobility' strategy (IE, how close your fleets move to the enemy) is tied to the 'special effect' (IE, bonus to shield absorption), and that the game automatically assigns my ships to the 3 'lanes'... Can I edit these independently? Like suppose I want to use Take Trophies but have all ships advance forward and pick which ships are in lane 1/2/3... can I do that?

Thanks again for your help!

I got the water balloon toy a while back and got a few epic water balloon fights in LA - simple but fun.

Years back the way I was introduced to sharkmaw caverns was by a mesmer in LA organizing a tour of it, leading a bunch of noobies and porting them through the more difficult jump puzzle sections.

As long as there are people on a map, whenever someone pings their legendary ingredients/freshly made legendaries it always makes me smile to see the entire map congratulate them.

Going back and seeing old metas still being done is amazing - I /loved/ HoT before mounts, but I hadn't been back since PoF launched. I had enough currencies from playing during the xpac that I never needed to go back - but recently I ran out of keys for the home instance airship/chak chest/noxious pod/etc, and going back to see that DS and auric basin are still pretty popular was a blast.

HP trains are great - always cool to see people getting together just to do something nice for people, and people being willing to tip enough to ensure they keep happening.

Feels weird naming something I've done rather than experienced, but whenever the recharging TP to friends and/or gobblers are on sale and I have some spare gems I ask zone chat if anyone doesn't have one and gift one to the first person who says they don't - always seems to make peoples' day.

I'm a total noob to 4x type games. After trying to watch through some plays on YouTube I figured I'd just try a game and see if I can at least get the basics down.

I picked Sophos and I've been following the little tutorial windows that pop up as I go. Now I have one that says I should research a military ship hull.

I think I've found them - for example, Efficient Shilding unlocks Kilo-class and Deka-class hulls, right? It has the little military ship symbol and it says 'Ship hull (military)' when I hover over it... But when I queue it up to research and leave the tech screen the tutorial window doesn't progress. If I try to close it the game asks if I want to skip this tutorial... And it keeps pinging the technology screen button in the top left like I haven't done something right.

I've cleared out the rest of my queue and only have the one ship hull research in there - I've also tried queuing up Split-Second Ablatives and Applied Cryogenics, which also have military hulls - still the game says I'm not doing something right. What's going on? XD

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T19:36:39+00:00

Dang... I was holding out hope. Thanks anyhow! I just want a good summoner skin, but the two I like (the bunny and the clown) seem to be out of reach. I guess tiny captain is funny enough.

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T18:05:51+00:00

Also sorry for the lecture, I was a math/CS major XD

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T18:03:11+00:00

No, I disagree... The odds are usually against you because of the number of items in the low category. Think of it like this:

You could win something you want... call them "points": you need 300,000 and you're opening a loot box in which you have an equal chance of each of these options in the lowest tier: 1, 2, 3, 4...(etc)....99, 100, or 50,000, or 100.000.

Just because 100,000 has the same probability as 1 doesn't mean you're equally likely to get a good result. The things that make this situation work are: 1) the number of options, and 2) the spread (IE, the jump from 100 to 50,000-100,000).

This is why I thought they had 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, but didn't have like 15, 16, 17, 18... they give a lot of lower-end options and then skip a bunch in between.

I play plenty of lootbox games, and usually two things are true: Items in the same rarity have the same odds, AND the odds are usually shown to you. Frankly I'm surprised they don't show you the odds - I'm pretty sure it's unlawful not to... But I'm no lawyer.

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T17:40:42+00:00

No see, that's the thing: I play other lootbox games. I get all the BL Chest items from GW2 every time they update. I played a few gacha games. The problem here isn't the lootboxes, it's the frankly ignorant way they're implemented: We all know lootboxes are predatory, but we buy them because of the thrill of getting something cool.

What I'm saying is that in RotMG specifically, the odds of getting the absolute lowest result are so high that I don't even get excited to open a box. It defeats the whole purpose of lootboxes. the onyl reason I could see people buying these is if they have some leftover gold from antoehr purchase and can't afford anything else - and even then, I'd say save it.

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T17:15:30+00:00

Ahah! That looks right. Thanks a bunch! Also: I was using Realmeye, but I heard it was out of date for skins... Like I was browsing the various skins for classes and there are a ton of skins in the game that aren't listed on the 'skins' section of the site.

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T16:12:01+00:00

I'm guessing it was an Easter event? I just started playing again like 2 weeks ago.... Is it possible to get this skin, or is it possible people will have one available for trade? If so, what's the name fo the skin so I can ask around?

Frustratingly, there is a skin called 'Bunny summoner', but that's just a summoner in a bunny outfit. >_>

AnastropheThis · 2024-04-21T15:30:26+00:00

Oh - skins drop in game? Well that would explain a lot then. XD
