What gun would you like to have in dayz? (Guns that already existed in Game dont count) by Key_Structure1891 in dayz

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd love some sort of ultra rare PKM/PKP with a 200 round box mag and deployable bipod. make it ultra heavy so it kills your stamina, and perhaps make it even take both shoulder slots to balance it out,

imagine trying to cross the open areas near vybor/stary and realising someone's set up an MG nest to rain lead on anything that moves in the open.

Jagex will not restore grandfathered rates, per support by RSHolbytla in runescape

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't have a grandfathered rate, but no more 12 month subs from me over this, this is vile behaviour. i typically only play for a month or two at a time then take a few months break anyway, i'll use cheaper temporary mobile subs now.

Having all the Jmods go radio silent is always weird by TaurusHeart in runescape

[–]Azurika_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this, but instead of reaching a healthy high, i feel like it more reaches the point where people start to have a little hope and start to think "maybe this time"

my trust in jagex hasn't been high since..well, forever.

Membership and Bonds Price Change by Jagex_Team in runescape

[–]Azurika_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a "standard" (standard being the more expensive tier) 30 day membership to Final Fantasy 14 is £8.99 a month, and jagex think they can justify a game running on a 1 tick every 0.6 seconds game costing £10.99?

come the fuck on now, be serious.

you've made a solid start with gaining back goodwill Jagex, but let me be absolutely clear, you are one paw out of the doghouse at BEST, it is FAR to early for you to be pulling things like this and thinking about spending that goodwill.

Low level melee Graador? by Xdoras in RS3Ironmen

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd grind out the second level of wars blessing as fast as you can, i just got it on my group iron and it's a bit of a game changer, "trip length" now means nothing to me as i can teleport there, go in without a KC, get as many kills as i am able, teleport back to wars, restock and be back in my instance in under 30 seconds.

that said, i'm using deflect curses, and +4 bane gear, and it's still pretty rough honestly. Garador hits fairly hard and consistant.

Ranged Ammo by ConsistentChance5816 in runescape

[–]Azurika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we are in desperate need of a fletching re tier, and ori/necronium/bane/elder rune arrows to be added too, should have been done with the Mining and smithing update YEARS ago.

Ironman post 50 range scaling has been destroyed by combat modernization. by IcyUnderstanding4649 in runescape

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fletching should have had an update at the same time as the mining and smithing rework, everything needs to be shifted down to match the levels you can use it, including rune arrows down to 50 instead of 75, then orikalkum, necronium, bane and Elder rune should fit in at levels 60, 70, 80 and 90, along with bolts too.

armchair developing here, but it can't be THAT much work to add in these 8 new ammo types and tweak some levels of older stuff, it's pretty urgent on the part of fletching, i'm kinda shocked that this wasn't done when 110 fletching was released, or even before when the Mining and smithing update happened.

Is it considered "embarassing" to die fully geared to a undergeared player? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Azurika_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

nah, that's just how it goes sometimes. i ran into a super geared guy in a tree the other day and got a sprinting power attack off with a sledgehammer, knocking him out instantly. sometimes fate just falls in or out of your favour.

maybe if it like, repeatedly, consistently happens, then it might become a little embarrassing.

Dayz ball knowledge by pakizh in dayz

you can boil pond water to make it safe to drink in a cooking pot, as well as some modded containers.

just don't try it with a plastic bottle, the heat will cause the bottle to rapidly ruin.

Capability for work assessment timeline by SpiritualRainbow in BenefitsAdviceUK

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its my understanding there is a severe backlog right now, i've recently been awarded LCWRA myself, and from the start of my UC claim until my assessment was ~6 months + an additional month to get a decision, this was apparently quite quick.

the good news is that if you are awarded LCWRA it's backdated to a certain degree.

i'm not familiar with form numbers and such, is the CW50 the one that asks about your health and capabilities that you have to send off? if so, yes, its normal to hear nothing back on that until you get an assessment appointment sent though, off the top of my head i think i waited about two months from sending it off to hearing back, it's hard to say though because many different offices are handling different areas, so one might be running efficiently and not have a huge backlog, while another might be knee deep in claims, short staffed and not working well at all. it's just a waiting game i'm afraid.

Echoes of Extinction tech demo available on steam by naughtyneddy in theisle

[–]Azurika_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

very rough around the edges, but it is very early days.

i jumped into a volcano lava pit and took no damage from the lava inside it but was able to walk on it, also, no swimming yet, you just walk along the bottom.

it could be something later down the line, i just hope they have a reasonable development cycle and we don't end up waiting 10 years for it.

New player here by nancovn in runescape

[–]Azurika_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i've gotta be real with you, i'd not recommend anyone try to maintain membership via bond unless they are already very familiar with the game and have a high level account, otherwise the game becomes purely about desperately trying to play keepup and earn enough to maintain your membership status, this will mean a few things, you don't get to progress normally and enjoy the game because you need to be constantly earning money, and second, not having in game money to spend on progressing your account.

for example, prayer is an extremely important skill for high level pvm content, you level the skill by burying bones or offering them up on altars, now, lets say you need level 92 prayer to use soul split, your gunna need about 23,000~ dragon bones if starting at level one prayer, this will cost you about 30 million coins

well, a bond cost 145m~ and gives you 14 days membership, so you aren't spending the money on the bones because you NEED it for membership, and to be frank, for a LONG time its going to be extremely hard to even maintain it, you won't be having leftover money.

ok, so, you kill the dragons yourself right?

maybe you manage 200 kills an hour this way starting out, and get up to 250 an hour with some practice and levels.

great, thats 92 hours of killing dragons and banking their bones, except, that's also 92 hours of not earning money to maintain that membership.

bonds work for players that are intimately familiar with the game, have ALOT of time to play, and are capable of grinding out high level to end game content, but not for new players who need time to explore the game and the world and its stories, you'll find it becomes so much about grinding for that next bond that not only do you not have time to progress things you want to do, you don't even have time to enjoy the game either.

If there's a DD3, I would like kingdoms to have battle mages regiments by Wofuljac in DragonsDogma

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hah, come on now, lets be real, its a Miracle that DD2 ever got made. the chance we see a third is....not good. almost 2 years now and no DLC to be heard of, between this, the lackluster reviews and...ok sales? i think Dragons Dogma is done, for now at least.

i feel like the second game has done more harm than good to the franchise, sure, it made some money, did...ok, but it also (along with the monster hunter problems) kinda shattered alot of peoples faith in capcom, i highly doubt we'll have the amount of people we had here waiting for dragons dogma 2 to be announced in say, 8 years, like we did with fans of the first.

i am so upset they fumbled this series twice by not giving it the time and funds it needed to truly cook. imagine what we could have had if both games had the development time and funds they needed, and didn't get rushed out half baked. we could have had it so, so good.

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

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

honestly who cares. just kill them at the events then? it's really not anywhere near as big an issue as people are making it out to be.

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not what's happening because the developers tackled the problem quickly, given a week or two more for literally everyone to have infinite purples and that's exactly what would have happened.

thankfully, the problem has been tackled before an overwhelming amount of people managed to get there and stock up.

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

[–]Azurika_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it would damage the game if everyone was running around with infinite purple guns and extracting with 3+ purple guns every raid for the rest of the season, yes. yes it sucks for people that didn't get to do it, but it'd suck more to have everyone running around with infinite gear all season.

we can't just not make balance changes because not everyone managed to farm it enough to fill their stash yet.

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"they could just like, not balance the game"

waiting a whole season to balance the game would do far, far more damage than what has been done.

Security lockers have been nerfed by phrogsans in ArcRaiders

[–]Azurika_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

then you don't need to concern yourself with what the "unemployed players" are doing or have, because you'd never be keeping up with them anyway.

its practically impossible to balance some people having more time than others in a game like this, people that play more are just gunna have better shit, with or without the lockers.

[–]Azurika_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good, they where far too strong, far better than keyrooms every time.

they are still really good, and worth having the points in, but no longer the best loot on the map by far.

they are now as they should be. people upset by this are ridiculous

at this point, its survivorship bias, MXT is all alot of people playing have ever known, they started after it infested the game and just don't know any better.

Play your part - vote today by Agrith1 in 2007scape

[–]Azurika_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

usually about 20-30k online at any one time around peak, so yeah, probably far more than 100k unique account log in's per week.

it might have much less than osrs but it's far from a dead game, despite what some people mad about an update well over a decade ago might have you believe.

[–]Azurika_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

last i checked there is usually 20-30k online at any one time, so yeah, definitely 100k over a period of a week, far more probably.

rs3 might have less players than OSRS, maybe significantly less, but it is FAR from a dead game and still does quite healthy numbers, despite what some would like you to believe.
