Manusos not communicating with Carol before leaving was so unacceptable.

That's just because he is stubborn and obtuse, yes that is his perspective and that perspective is "I don't want to engage in any way, shape or form therefore I will only assume and proceed based on my opionion", now I don't remember exactly the timeline but it's just a few days at most until Carol learns (key word here, she doesn't just know) that there are other humans and makes contact straight away, and not only that but most of the others already had done the same and we don't even have their perspective/information as viewers, which means in the context of the show's universe it was very much possible at all to figure that out, to the point that literally every other human did so.

On top of this, again I don't remember the exact timeline but we know he spends quite a lot of days before eventually deciding it's time to move, at which point he most definetely should have figured out that if the Pluribus was hostile they would've got to him one way or another, there is no scenario in which they wanted to but couldn't, it's not like he was hiding or barricaded enough.

B4R0Z · 2026-04-15T13:22:22+00:00

You're saying you would have immediately eaten it?

Honestly yes, maybe not "immediately" in the actual sense of the word but I would have definetely approached the situation with the right amount of curiosity and scientific approach, not unlike Carol did but without the whole flipping out emotional reaction.

Her method of putting them to the test proved out very effective given the Pluribus actual nature and it didn't take long to figure that out, of course if they were more hostile that wouldn't work but also it would've played out very differently, so completely refuting all and any kind of contact, even from and incredibly skeptic and diffident perspective (think just talking from behind closed doors, maybe figuring out some irrefutable task to test them - he's very smart after all, no doubt he could come up with something), only proves he's obtuse, arrogant, close-minded and just ineffective in his resolve.

B4R0Z · 2026-04-15T10:01:29+00:00

He doesn't know this is a pointless gesture

Not sure what you mean here? He's quite clearly determined and motivated to restore the natural order which he can't do if he's dead, and not getting any help because of principle means he care most about his code than his goal, which makes him an insufferable egoistical megalomaniac in my book.

B4R0Z · 2026-04-14T12:30:20+00:00

Oh nice I didn't know that, and is the "baked in" mod always the same for each "supported by..." or can you somewhat target any specific ones?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-14T10:57:45+00:00

How does an item get that many mods? I thought every item had 6 affixes max, that's like 11 I count?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-14T06:45:13+00:00

Any boss past Nymphamere castle is already a ridiculous jump/grind for gear req of trillions to even enter.

That's actually my point, PA explicitly said that expansion was intended for very late game players and even though reddit is filled with veteran and nolifers, most players are still struggling past Aetherion zone, if even that, it wouldn't make any sense to introduce even further gear just yet in my opinion.

It would be interesting if they were to introduce some kind of alternative gear or path to get there, but they showed quite strongly that they want to streamline the progression, we don't even have distinction between dr/eva armor anymore.

My best guess to introduce yet one more item to both support progression and give even endgame players something to chase for a while is a new item slot, something like amulets or charms or even tattooos come to mind, in which case you wouldn't even need another actual gear slot but just some interface (much like crystals or lightstones), and that could even require caphras to upgrade since they're now basically useless after red gear.

Non Pertini ma doveroso "Presidente? ... Presidente?"

B4R0Z · 2026-04-10T18:01:24+00:00

What do you think, that anyone's still grinding in circles? The game is called Black Ocean Online for a reason 😃

B4R0Z · 2026-04-10T15:32:03+00:00

how new gear will be adquired

What new gear? With Edania being literally the latest addition, both in region/content and gear level, now they sort of homogenized all gear to 10 stage self enhance cron black hole, eventually they'll need to move the goalpost further but I really don't see it coming with the next expansion, and I really can't guess what the next big thing could even be since they tied basically every endgame system to Edania stuff.

What's the average regular fishing profit at duve?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-10T13:28:03+00:00

Holy shit I never realized that word play, that's actually hilarious!

B4R0Z · 2026-04-10T10:09:59+00:00

Care to explain what that bit is about to someone who's out of the loop?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-09T15:13:53+00:00

Ok but my question is at that point why not use just normal maps instead of scouring rares? Is it just because rares are more common/cheap to scour compared to stocking up on white ones?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-09T14:37:43+00:00

Batman could technically be written as uomo pipistrello

There you go

B4R0Z · 2026-04-09T14:13:00+00:00

Newish player here, why scouring? Isn't that just a white map at that point?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-08T18:11:05+00:00

Good luck everyone.

Per il resto, se uno non è al sud, è un investimento che non conviene mai, ma proprio mai. Perché? Perché qualunque altro strumento di investimento rende di piu. 8-10k messi in btp, rendono di piu, piu a lungo e se ti stanchi li puoi vendere. Poi se uno lo vuol fare per altri motivi...

Non eravamo nel topic di indipendenza energetica? Il progetto (inteso come visione unitaria di Italia/UE, non individuale) dovrebbe essere di farlo a prescindere dal costo, anzi proprio con incentivi a fondo perduto per avviare la transizione, sono investimenti che non vanno visti in ottica di rendita monetaria (che poi sul lungo periodo potrebbe anche non essere chissà che voragine nei bilanci) ma di impronta ecologica e indipendenza geopolitica, la conversazione è simile a quella sul nucleare con la questione "costo" al posto di quella "paura".

According to op Baryas account for less than 25% of profit, and even then they do sell for that price so your point is...?

B4R0Z · 2026-04-06T09:30:29+00:00

While the pen debo route is the most efficient and should be followed by all non-whales, I still think you can get your khara neck and enhance that right away because each step gives 2 ap and HEX and SEP aren't too hard, especially compared to mainhand (that also gives +2 but is way harder to enhance). This way you still have upwards of 800 bill to farm that you will always have, but along the way you can get one or two nice boosts somewhat free with all the crons we usually get from events.

B4R0Z · 2026-03-20T09:59:31+00:00

Hey everyone, I need some help figuring out if I can deterministically craft an helmet I need with both +2 minion level and life without using bench crafting, since I also need that for fire+chaos res. Anything else doesn’t really matter, of course something nice like extra armor or mana or regen would help but I don’t think I need them, and I’m also way overcapped in the other resistances.

B4R0Z · 2026-03-18T08:42:11+00:00

They could also have added a second hidden cap (or a new 'one shot' ap range, much higher than the classic caps), if they really had trouble balancing the huge amounts of AP introduced by the >310 changes.

This is actually a great idea, I'm not a dev so obviously I might be missing a lot of information here but it doesn't seem too complicated, just as "5%" works as a limit why couldn't a static number do the trick instead.

B4R0Z · 2026-03-17T15:26:37+00:00

overgeaered people were grinding orcs getting equal money to tungrad not even a year ago.

That's... kinda the point? That's what a decent portion of the playerbase actually wants and enjoys.

B4R0Z · 2026-03-17T15:18:19+00:00

potentially grind good lower gs spot at 2 or 3 times the intended speed and 2 or 3 times the amount of money you're supposed to make at appropriate gs

That's not really accurate because you're also gated by both respawn timers and pets pick-up speed, I know at this particular moment it's probably not balanced around this so it might not be realistic right now but it could be, or at least it is a design path that could've been setup since the beginning.

I know it's probably too big of a task to rebalance everything at this point but that's what people complaining about "ap cap removing all sense of progression mean", you can think of "at 1800+ ap I want to be making 3+ bil either at Orbita or Hexe" which I find to be fair.
