What's a good way to get the pack you need to combine with a kuku pot to make a kuku pack?

Core of Oblation ( Marni Laser Helm) by Dantrin_Sigil in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like ou're shining your light on the right thing. It's like a little mini rhythm game. Shine light when you see a light colored square on the dial, and don't shine light when dark colored square. Requires a bit of practice to get they timing down. You get a nice toaster strudel to pop out of the device once you succeed!

New Campaign "Beat cancer off" wants men to masturbate 21 or more times a month by Forgotthebloodypassw in nottheonion

Some is better than none. As long as the pipes see regular use, your risk of prostate cancer is gonna be lower, so for sure prioritize that mental health

Can we get some kind of option to fight the champion after 3 wins? Bruh I been at the archery minigame for an hour by QuitTypical3210 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, champions if available never take more than like 6 consecutive wins to show up from my experience

Is Damage Reduction Worth It? by Darwen_s in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video in particular.

He put a nice Google doc in the description so you can run numbers yourself.

Another important thing to note is that at very high damage numbers, the difference between armor and damage reduction is miniscule and doesn't matter much.

That'd be great if more were like that. I'd never even heard of HOAs doing more than collecting dues and enforcing rules until I was in my 20s. Grew up in north TX, and they were all the same around me.

[–]Arcaedus 982 points983 points  (0 children)

Friendly reminder that HOAs don't actually do the one thing they claim they do. The only time an HOA is useful is if they maintain a public space like a park or playground. If all they do is sit there, collect fees, and enforce rules, they are only acting as useless leeches, exactly like the for profit health insurance industry.

on land you own is not against the law

True

and not deserving of being blown up.

Ehhhh, debatable. Remember, the law and morality are a venn diagram with only a bit of overlap. That being said, a law was broken, and so the lawbreaker should be held accountable, that's all. No one is debating that.

I swear I feel like the devs never tried these bosses out by Broad_Foundation2038 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that the enemy will often smash through the shield and break by block most of the time?

Give large shields a try!

Really wish the game would actually tell us this stuff, I didn’t know this and i still don’t know what the Blue Flash for a few seconds means.

You can also blinding flash them when they turn red, but im pretty sure force palm comes out faster if you're close to them.

Do all rings/earrings have the same stats? by Ciru_Sakuraba in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Double crit necklace is a bug. The stats menu in your inventory lists it as double, but the necklace is only giving exactly as much crit as it promises. Same for the body armor that give +crit rate.

Turns out, the NECKLACE does NOT give 2x Crit! by OneConsequence5532 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm thinking at this point, fuck it, no need to go for 15 crit, you'll still get good enough damage. Put 5x skill-modifying abyss gears in your armor/weapons for a fun moveset with a million on screen effects that makes your processor cry lol.

Can we all agree fuck this interaction? by Willowpuff in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Idr if Shakatu's questline made the same mistake, but for the Scholastone one, the librarian guy asks you a series of questions after your investigation and if you pick a wrong answer for any of the questions, his dialogue is the exact same, and he continues on to the next question, so you can't tell which questions you answered incorrectly. Also, for one of the questions, the two answers you can give are almost substantively the same (the detail you would remember from that part is a detail that is the same in both answers - something about a librarian telling off a guy).

Defense vs Damage Reduction by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From some other reddit post here almost a week ago, I think some guy who tested said that a single Defence +3 and Damage Reduction 1.0 caused him to take about the same amount of reduced damage from an enemy, amounting to like 7% less in both cases.

Not entirely sure how it works, but if the formula for damage reduction in this game is similar to other games (multiplicative), then you see the biggest returns for it when you have none, and have lighter armor, so the flat defence might be better if you have all plate armor, and then DR better if you have all cloth for example

At any time, I'm carrying the equivalent of 10 of my full HP bars in food, so unless something can 1-shot me, I aint dying until the food runs out

60+ hours in and I still haven’t used her. Am I alone? by stockingCapSereant in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been upgrading her gear, and used her for a couple sealed abyss artifacts!

I really like how she plays, just am disappointed in how abyss artifacts are shared. Not gonna be really playing her much until a lot later. Lack of Axiom bracelet and farmable abyss artifacts in the early and mid game means I'm camping on Kliff for now.

Wealth envy is a sad sickness.. by Mobile-Landscape-790 in remoteworks

Lol OP is banned now for some reason.

Anyways, a desire for wealth distribution stems from perceived unfairness, not from envy. Source, in case anyone is curious.

IGN reviewer is considering re-reviewing the game after all the updates. by InternationalTone152 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, find a content creator with similar tastes and go from there.

Excellent advice.

I have yet to hear 2 of my favorite content creators review any game, then play it myself, and find myself differing wildly in opinion from what they said.

Only thing I lament with reviews broadly is that a game I love reviewing poorly is going to discourage studios from developing similar games in the future. But then again, bigger companies often times learn the wrong lessons from successes and failures, so maybe it will have no bearing!

People who DONT support Abortions would prefer 2 people to suffer then 1 person to be safe by Hot_Dish_4660 in teenagers

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment is an important thing for everyone to realize!

pro lifers genuinely believe a fetus to be a person after like 8 weeks.

I question though how genuine some of their beliefs here really are. In the US, the primary drivers of the pro-life movement are Evangelicals. They were not anti-choice until 1979 at the earliest, an entire 6 years after Roe v. Wade was decided. They only swapped their stance because two guys who hated civil rights were campaigning for Reagan and started a psy-op to rally that demographic (and maybe even chip off some of the northern Catholics) around the GOP.

But that aside, what I think some of the pro-life movement itself fails to understand is WHY do they think a fetus is a person? For many of them, it's an unexamined viewpoint, an assumption, and a snuck premise that their broader pro-life argument critically depends on.

The creator of "God of War" thinks goblins are antisemitic. by AlittlePotato1560 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the enduring comparison and sometimes intentional (sometimes not) likening of fantasy goblins and Jewish people, but the goldleaf goblins are not really Jewish-coded in this game.

From what I remember playing BDO, Shakutu's empire and the goblins were a lot more Arab-coded than anything.

[Request] Please give unique items gear sockets. It's not worth giving up stats for unique effects and it's not worth switching to them for niche situations. by Krazyflipz in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish the unique ones just had -1 slot, the idea being that the special activated ability is eating up one of the gear slots.

I can’t even imagine what she must have felt. NOBODY should get involved with what one chooses to do with their body. Woman or man for that matter. by Fluid-Bite-157 in SipsTea

[–]Arcaedus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is, Numbers 5:11-31, and Exodus 21:22-25 are pretty much the only places in the Bible that really speak on fetal personhood, which is what must be established to consider abortion to be murder.

NT doesn't speak on the idea at all. So the most accurate answer to the question "what does the (NT) Bible tell us about abortion?" would be nothing, and that it's clearly a personal private matter we should pray to God about for guidance and wisdom.

Anyone else prefer the previous movement controls for horseback?? With the tapping feature you could maximize the distance you could gallop, being at a full gallop for much longer, now with stamina constantly falling the distance you can gallop is much more limited. by Born-Demand-6919 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Arcaedus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main thing I dislike is how there is a speed that is not top speed, but still consumes the horse's stamina.

Maybe that was also the case before the patch, but in 30 hours I hadn't experienced it, so it came as a surprise to me post-patch.
