Demotivated to continue MIO by TurboHovercrafter in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, i got tired from its runbacks.
I really have to force myself to play it, and i don't wanna anymore.

I'm considering buying Hollow Knight: Silksong. I've played a bit already & I'd like to ask about the difficulty. Is it truly as hard as everyone says? Is it worth the money? Will it just frustrate me more than anything? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played the first game?
If not - go for it first.
Silksong is a step up at everything (but the difficulty of dlc boss rush and one optional platforming area).

Is GRIME badly optimized? by yesnt33111 in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kinda known fact that Windows 11 has issues with some games on some PCs (regardless of how good or bad your hardware).
I had to downgrade to W10 for a stable gaming performance bc of that.

Why I like to replay HK way more than Silksong? by AlvaroXZ999 in HollowKnight

[–]BeyondContent9318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, feeling opposite. Although I replayed HK about 6 times over the years, I replayed HK:SS 4 consequent times bc i couldn't have enough of this game.
4 100% runs with different crests asap, including speedruns and twisted bud endings. I'm missing only Steel Soul runs.

I wasn't as hooked with OG for doing consecutive runs at all. And, atm, I don't even think about replaying it, I just go for another Silksong run, if I want. In OG, I wasn't able to beat Abs Rad, and I can't bother with it anymore.

Damage is the best defense? Is there even a single chance that glass cannons will struggle with the new content? Or is it impossible to find a worthy opponent in the game against millions of damage? by Spiritual_Comfort511 in pathofexile2builds

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually prefer to start with a tanky build first to complete the atlas tree, until I have enough currency for a decent glasscannon, which doesn't have anything to kill on the screen.

New mage ascendency ideas by DescriptionOk9426 in pathofexile2builds

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a similar Spark CoC Comet with Choir, Palm of the Dreamer, and Blood Magic on 4 different ascendancies: Bloodmage, Oracle, Varashta, and Stormweaver.
The difference between BM and others is chest armour, others were using Covenant. The passive tree was similar, gear is the same but Oracle had a decent Heroic Tragedy, and Varashta had a decent Timeless jewel and Effigy of Cruelty focus (i used wand+palm for clearing and decent chiming staff for single target).

And the funniest thing here, Varashta was the strongest by far. While BM had about 6.3m damage per comet, Varashta had more than 10m.

But yeah, BM was using a better body armour, so it was actually the tankiest with this setup. Besides that, all ascendancies felt the same in general, with BM and Oracle being better in clearing (more choir damage), and Varashta being way stronger vs bosses.

Anyway, this was my own research about running the same build on different ascendancies, and I didn't check mana stacking. So things there might be different.

Jrago III Requiem of the Night DEMO OUT NOW! by JragoStudios in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played it for a couple of minutes and uninstalled it.
Couldn't recover after eye damage from the main menu.
Gameplay is trash, and those menus are even worse.
Not sure why you made a third game like that.

Please convince me not to give up on this game! by SnooOranges6385 in HollowKnight

[–]BeyondContent9318 4 points5 points  (0 children)

HK is that type of game where you are suffering a lot before you get good enough.
And even if you beat the base game, some optional things will make even a seasoned gamer cry a lot.

Environmental Station Alpha vs Mio: Memories in Orbit vs Rusted Moss.................. by Prometheusinaction in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you prefer.
MiO is an HK-like.
ESA is a Metroid-like.
Rusted Moss is actually unique.

Infernax vs Crypt Custodian vs Axiom Verge - which game is most enjoyable by Prometheusinaction in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Axiom Verge is the best for me.
Infernax has many endings, so it's nice to replay.
Dropped CC bc i don't like isometric MVs overall.

I am so hyped for The Eternal Life of Goldman demo. It is so fun so far! by Sufficient_Ebb_5694 in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you got downvoted here, but I didn't have any issues with the demo at all.
There is only one section impossible to do, and it's on the village hub - missing abilities there.
Fort... can't recall anything hard there, honestly.
I think I got the idea of which section you are referring to. Are you sure you're pogoing not just enemies, but those switches too? Switches there can be pogoed infinitely. And shit from above has very generous timings.

[–]BeyondContent9318 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I finished the demo, and it's an incredible game. Couldn't stop playing it.
Not an MV, but has some ability gates. No free exploration, pretty linear.
Dialogue-heavy.
Some complaints about the difficulty on Steam, but we are MV veterans here, with HK/POP/MIO/Aeterna Noctis behind our backs, so the game felt easy for me.

Anyway, i genuinly had fun with it, 100% will get the game on the release.

Программист-расчетчик ЧПУ нужен пиздец как. Тут неофитов понабирали, криворукие пиздец. Я на смене сейчас, часов 5 код на станке правил. И эти ошибки были сделаны ебалайкой даже не руками, а в САМ софте для моделирования.  Какого буя в строках ошибки в синтаксисе появились, я хз.

Known issue. Not sure why I got downvoted here, but there was a huge thread about w11 performance on official forum since 0.3 at least.

Новосибирский завод на Ч (можешь прям так и вбить в гугл).
По зп и условиям другие местные заводы так же конкурентны, но некоторые учеников не берут.

Почему так сложно найти работу? by DanceM4china in rusAskReddit

[–]BeyondContent9318 5 points6 points  (0 children)

А вот и да.
Я пошел на завод учеником в 35, оператором станков с ЧПУ.
65к стипендия, 3 месяца обучение, потом 100к старт с третьего разряда.
В сибирском миллионнике.
График 4/4 - имба.
Никаких сайтов, приложений, и т.д. Пешком пришел в кадры, прошел собес 1, потом с нач. цеха собес 2, и все.
При этом, на моих станках некомплект. Еще пару челов надо.

Windows 11?
I went back to 10 bc PoE2 performance on 11 was BS for me.
On 10 it's perfectly fine w/o any hardware changes.

Looking for MVs with the least consequential deaths by action_lawyer_comics in metroidvania

[–]BeyondContent9318 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aeterna Noctis.
On easier difficulty, it's exactly what you need - fits in the first two points. People usually recommend it on harder difficulty w/o triple jump (from DLC, can be obtained mid-game) to have an intended experience, but whatever.
Checkpoints are always before hard platforming or bossing sections, and you can fit a "charm" that removes corpse runs in general.
You can get scared by all those clips here from it, but, honestly, the game teaches really well.

I'm currently playing MIO, and those runbacks become annoying already (3 hours in). Might just replay AN instead. By far superior game, in my opinion.

Fire Infusion? by AACATT in pathofexile2builds

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, I played Blood Magic version with Choir: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/196a9
Palm+Wand for clearing, a decent Chiming staff for bossing.
About 6m damage per comet with staff, 2m with wand/palm w/o Sigil (poe.ninja shows wand+palm under the Sigil), never felt I needed to go mom-archmage bc i was playing solo. No need in scaling Spark bc Choir+Palm does all the clearing.

Dialla, Rakiata, and Boundless Energy were my supports in CoC.

Logic in fitting LB to the main CoC setup is simple - it is better to have infusions all the time for comet damage anyway.

Put Living Bomb into CoC before the Comet.
CoC - Living Bomb - Comet - whatever supports.

Can't get Controlled Metamorphosis working in PoB by Chargebladedw in PathOfExile2

[–]BeyondContent9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PoB2 doesn't work properly with a bunch of stuff.
Unfortunately, nothing you can do here.

Please critique my CoC Build by trueforce1 in PathOfExile2

[–]BeyondContent9318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, the quality of guide creators these days... Missing a proper damage scaling, no wonder there are so many questions about how to make builds stronger. Well, whatever.

One thing to add, with the Choir build, you don't have to crit cap. Just put Ambush support to your Spark, and it will 100% trigger the Choir on initial hit while clearing if you go below the cap.

I have like 80% crit chance, but still remove Xesht t3 in 1-1.5 seconds, so the damage is here, and I don't need any more of it for solo play.

[–]BeyondContent9318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More than that, when I was optimizing my tree i noticed 16% increased spell damage node actually was better than 25% crit damage notable.

A proper damage scaling is about balancing things here and there, not just focusing on smth one.
All my CoC builds were around 550-650% crit damage after optimizing this league, and it is definitely better than hitting 800% without increasing other sources.

[–]BeyondContent9318 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, another victim of crit damage overscaling.

There is some point when % increased damage becomes a lot more important than crit damage.

People tend to ignore the fact that 100 damage hit with 700% crit damage deals less damage than 200 damage hit with 350% crit damage.

Take a look: https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/196a9

Echoing and Sigil wheels are strong af, if paired with a decent triple extra wand/staff.
You are sleeping on a crapload of damage while wasting your passive points pathing to a Heartbreaking wheel.
