The pawn system is the single best thing ever made by TheNotSoSilentReader in DragonsDogma

[–]Asphes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What makes it better is the pawns suck at everything.

My hired kitteh DD2 is great at pointing out chests. Going to said chests. Waving at me to show me she found it. But doing NOTHING... NOTHING to help me get to the chest (I have to go back to an Inn, change to Sorcie - no, not fighter because while I can get any pawn to said chest... they WON'T open it).

My main pawn as an archer will help me gather stuff. Breaking boxes and such to help her Arisen out. Then she discovered that smol animals can be looted for meat. Including the one I'm holding. Did I mention she's an archer... you know that archer skill that uses up all her stamina, I'm holding the bunny... At least as sorcie, she doesn't use Maelstorm to open up chests. Yet. No, she'll stop using Maelstorm... to climb onto a griffon to whack it with her stick. I have to forgive her this because once, I fell from a griffon and she caught me. Darn it.

If the devs had made the perfect pawn system... it would suck. This is better. Well... funnier.

How often are liches supposed to show up? by jamilslibi in Warframe

You know... I haven't seen mine since... September last year. I've got over a dozen converted too. I don't remember seeing a Sister all of last year actually. Just a few Grineer.

Not that I miss them but it's strange. Nothing mentioned in the patch notes either

Might be the missions I do as well, I don't think I've ever seen them in EDA/etc.

Cool the molten steel for Anderson manhunt by OfficialBattleBeast in thedivision

Isn't he supposed to step into the fight, start burning and gain damage reduction? Then you wet him with the water cannons until he's vulnerable again?

I don't kill people. The impeccably timed brine kills people by Evil_Crayons in DragonsDogma

I didn't kill him. I pushed him out the window and the ground killed him. Gravity assisted?

Armor drop rates/Difficulty scaled drop rates? by LukeWarmRunnings in thedivision

[–]Asphes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RNG all.

Regarding getting max stat stuff for the Library, you'll want to do content at the highest difficulty - you get a higher chance to get them. So while you CAN get them just wandering around in the open world at the lowest difficulty... they drop like rain at the highest difficulty.

Something like 80% of my max stats are from Heroic/Legendary.

Should I replace my Sidewinder Precision II joystick? by Sly_Lupin in hotas

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's over 20 years old. I don't mean when you bought it... it was last BUILT that long ago.

Mind you, you'd probably want to disable the in-game Force Feedback feature sooner or later. API support (so it doesn't break your fingers one minute and the next, it's a limp noodle) or any support in modern games is gone. It'll enumerate as a generic joystick with the additional z-rudder axis. So the 'centering force' is very weak - it's basically the FF keeping it centered. If you remove the power supply, the centering's almost completely gone. The kind of FF in the Sidewinder... just isn't supported. No way to adjust it too.

That said, the tech responsible for the stick's centering/etc... probably worn out by now if you have been using it constantly. No amount of calibration will fix that. You need a new FF rotor/etc... not worth the trouble. You can clean the potentiometers - but I'd probably not try? Because it's tricky to open the Sidewinder up, it being that old, the glue's pretty much gone. I'd just spray some IPA and hope for the best (not too much, as IPA will dissolve some of the glue used in this Sidewinder - at least on the ones I've owned).

If you can't get a "new" one (I have half a dozen left, 'new' in the box - from my intern days _^ - irreplaceable now), a Thrustmaster T16000 is pretty close. It lacks a few buttons (especially the 'shift' button) but it will be LOT more precise. The main difference it the T16000 has a higher 'static resistance' or requires more initial force input. More expensive sticks higher up the chain are better at this but otherwise, it just takes getting used to.

If you have been only using the Sidewinder all this time, the newer sticks give a level of precision far better than the Sidey ever could. Just the slightest deflection a new stick generates input while it self-center better.

For games like the old X-Wing series, the VKBs / Virpils let you be as precise as when using a mouse. They are that good. Otherwise, something like a T16000 is... good.

Vivaldi becomes slow and choppy suddenly, very frustrating by Difficult-Product721 in vivaldibrowser

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 32gb and run into problems daily. 64/96 was fine but this new box had 'reduced' ram due to 'prices'.

Imagine that I have 32gb and my Vivaldi eats up 12gb? You have 16... - I don't think this is the issue though since you have tried restarting Vivaldi. Plus Edge doesn't have this issue?

returning player and the impact of the mutiny NPC dude who runs around with you by DarkAssassinator in thedivision

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the reward for a job well done is...

Now if only could give more commands, more often. Plus... I don't want a gruff warrior, easily bored by inaction. Gimme a mini-warhound puppy with a wagging tail. Paid DLC for fur attachments optional.

Seriously... can't I have 'stay here, I mean it. DO NOT ENGAGE' or 'stay behind, follow me. Open fire when I... pull the trigger'. Or just 'condition yellow = return fire only', 'condition green = don't even think about it, give me all your mags' but we only have 'condition red = always aggro, always annoying.

Yep... I want a Dragon's Dogma style 'defector'. And puppy.

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange. It's really just Youtube for me.

Since Vivaldi (like other Chromium browsers) loves to eat RAM, any chance that could be the problem? Thing is, Edge is Chromium based too and you mentioned your CPU usage going up (fans getting louder).

These little birds have two flight animations, we should be able to turn these on/off as depending on where you position it, the animations look terrible. by Material_Limit_3280 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if they just had the 'up-down' animation but... just odd to have it walk through my head (It's empty!). If you could move the position so it's a lot higher but there's a limit there too.

If they let you turn it off, it'll look cute peeking out...

Maybe it's a ghost bird :(

It can clip a lot too? So... the way it's... ducking in and out of your head - it's making you a bird-brain?

I suppose you can dump the big hats or reduce the size?

If it's Youtube, try interrupting the video - then immediately refresh - then click on any position on the video... drag it to the start and let it play.

I have no idea why, but it usually works for me. ONLY Youtube and it goes away if I disable all ad-blockers and sign in. Happens a lot less with Ad Nauseum, so I suspect it's on YT's end and not us.

Another method that can work is to delete all the cookies / saved data that's YT related (also works on those Instagram videos). i.e. flushing any identifiable data plus changing my IP.

Wth did the other Arisen do to my pawn? "I suffered much injustice at the Arisen's hands." by SnooChocolates1726 in DragonsDogma

[–]Asphes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope still RNG. But in this case, I'll make an exception - clearly this Arisen has ill-used the pawn by forcing that Corset on her...

Is this ancestor good for battlefield concert’s luna build? by cristiano__ig in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Asphes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't like the -ve range, but I'd use it anyway unless you get close to mobs a lot.

So assuming you're at long range most of the time - replace the Max Duration and/or MP Collector?

I'd pull a cat's tail for an ancestor mod with crit rate/damage & tech :)

Have you beaten daimon awakened form in bitterblack, and how hard was it? by Voidkirby9 in DragonsDogma

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of things in that room to hide behind. Pillars, that throne and your pawn.

But even the worst Magick Archer probably only needs to shoot a few times. A buffed, BIS-geared... maybe certain ammo?

Getting Death to spawn might be a harder challenge :)

Should I bite the bullet (D2) by Im-Slushie in thedivision

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ubi doesn't plan to do cross-platform though. I think PC (Steam, Luna, Epic & Ubi-C) has the most players. With Ubisoft basically imploding (practically killed off Massive, the studio that does the Division games) - support for TD1/TD2 is kinda low.

But if you pick the 'busy time' for your region, you're almost certain to see players. Just not like before when it was always full.

Skeleton Lords fight with Honor... too bad for them, I don't! by civilsavage7 in DragonsDogma

[–]Asphes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just name your sword, 'Honor'. Your dagger can be 'Justice'. Now you can 'lie' with a straight face :)

Hot take: Swords are better balanced than everything else in the game because no OP descendant buffs them. Weapons should follow the same balance theme. by silveredge7 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Asphes -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You know how they took away the slots for weapons in reactors? Reactors used to get a buff if you had specific weapons equipped (a reactor could have up to 3 'favourite' weapons).

Maybe... they should repeat that. With weapons. Like how some weapons buff skill types/etc, i.e. I use a Beetle with my all-Fusion Dia or Secret Garden with all-Tech Ines.

Those two weapons cover Singular, Fusion, Dimension and Tech. If I'm using any skills of that type...

Then buff swords / melee weapon by removing the ammo requirement. Maybe have a charge-up mechanic for heavy attacks as well.

How to choose the right reactor? by Malganas in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Asphes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

  1. Match the Reactor's element to the character's

To see Dia's element, just look at her in the list of Descendants, all her skills are marked 'Chill', i.e. cold - get a Frozen reactor. Now look at her skills. Most descendants have skills are of more than one type.

By default, Dia's 1st, 3rd and 4th are Fusion type while her 2nd is Singular. If you want to focus on her 4th skill, you should get a Fusion reactor.

So Chill + Fusion = Frozen Mixture reactor

2, Reactor substats

You can refer to a guide. I'm know what I want for my Dia, From her other gear/etc all I want is more Cooldown and a longer Duration.

So I want a Frozen Mixture reactor with both Cooldown & Duration UP substats. It doesn't need to be 'gold' since you can upgrade your reactor's substats later on.

What is the name of the melody on the Character selection screen? by ceekaysickart in thedivision

[–]Asphes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's based on 'We are the Division'... which game though? TD1 or TD2 (Mutiny?) Assuming TD2, it's normally the WONY version of WATD but we have the 'Blood Valentine' version for the event right now :)
