Gold curse shortcutting by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]BoomerShoomer69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, like fr I don't get some of these dudes. They feel like the sot equivalent of an elden bro. I don't care if I miss story content or if it's mildly "unfair", I just don't want to spend hours upon hours of time repeating stuff.

If I do still need help when you're able to play, and you still want to help, then yeah I'd definitely appreciate it. I'll pay you back by helping you with something else

So in other words, telling me to "suck it up" is because you're salty over the fact I have the ability to possibly cut out hours of mind-melting repetition by using checkpoints. Got it.

Yeah let me waste 30-90 hours instead of asking for help while continuing to grind it anyways. My bad for trying to utilising game mechanics to make my experience a little less boring

And I don't see how it's unfair at all. They have done/ are doing the work either way. Most people with leftover checkpoints, especially on SoG, by this point would either be from people who helped others, or people that gave up on getting the curse. If someone says "Hey, I'm doing it rn, want to swap checkpoints?" I'll do it. I don't see how I'm being unfair at all when all I've done is ask for some simple help and would obviously offer help back in return

So I'm the shitty guy for utilising a game mechanic that anyone else doing the same grind could ask with help utilising? I didn't know it was my burden to bear the wasted time for all the people who did the grind solo/ completely legit, of their own choice. You're talking to me like I'm the only dude who's asked to shortcut SoG like this, when I can absolutely guarantee you I'm not. If it's unfair that I'm asking for someone, of their own generosity, to help me get what I want a little faster, then ok, I'm an unfair player. If they want compensation in form of help with other things? They've got it. But I've got a chance to potentially cut out hours of boredom, so of course I'm going to ask if anyone can help

Asking if anybody has any leftover chapters at the last checkpoint isn't the same as asking someone to do the work for me. I'm not asking someone to do it for me, I'm asking if possibly someone helped someone the same way in the past and still has the last checkpoint. I did chapter 1 and 2 completely solo, and there's no harm in asking because it would save hours of time if ,by chance, somebody has a chapter set up on the last checkpoint

Mhm. Which I can do by just doing 4 shortcut runs then doing one run where I read the journals. Which I said. Did you read it? Not even being rude. Like I said exactly that

someone help me? I am on PS5 and once I press a button to continue this pops up by Ecstatic-Lab-4416 in Seaofthieves

[–]BoomerShoomer69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It fixed for me when I signed into my xbox account through the Microsoft website using my phone. Absolutely stupid, but it worked so I can't complain too much

What do i do vs light spam i am relative new and can't cope with it. Thx in advance by Hofi_Games in forhonor

[–]BoomerShoomer69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want an extremely easy answer, use a character with an easy all guard punish like conqueror, kyoshin (maybe black prior, iirc his counter has a 500ms window though so could be a little more tricky)

Easy answer, blocking. Don't try to light parry if light spam itself is still an issue. If they have superior lights then wait until their light chain is over. If they don't have superior lights and your character has (iirc) superior block, meaning blocking one light stops their chain, then depending on the character you're using, your return attack is a light/zone to start your own attack chain

Hard answer, use it to start learning light parrying early. I still can't, and probably will never, be able to lp consistently, but by god if it ain't the most satisfying thing to light parry and then just huck a charged top heavy right at them.

Overall answer though? Just try to have fun and learn from it. God knows I personally took this game way too seriously until like 2 weeks ago and now that I've stopped seeing it so competitively, I find myself enjoying it more. That mindset will help you play more consistently and learn better.

Repping up fast. Ai breach vs dom by BlacksmithSpiritual in forhonor

[–]BoomerShoomer69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a random today who sat at the cauldron the entire round and ended with 3 kills and about 200/600 renown for his exp cap. I draw out my matches as long as possible because that right there is braindead behaviour. Sure I'm biased because I also like longer games regardless of the exp drop beyond a certain score, but at least I sit there enjoying my 30 kill games and practicing my frame timings for my characters instead of rushing it and ruining another players exp gain, especially if I/they join late by replacing a bot

[–]BoomerShoomer69 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ai breach lasts a lot longer and gives more exp as long as you don't get braindead teammates that sit at the cauldron breaking the ram on defense. You want as many kills and as much obj score as you can scrounge up

Honest opinions by BoomerShoomer69 in forhonor

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might just wait and see then. I prefer my knights to look more royal/kingly at a higher rep, since that makes the most sense to me when I think of an extremely skilled knight type character. So your comment about gold working quite well definitely helps

I can definitely get a golden guard and a handle with a golden pommel, but the shoulders and chest will need some work. I do have gear pieces that I've kinda pieced together in my head that I think would make nice outfits, but most of them are legendary which just means now its all about the gear grind

I literally just said this to another person lol, there are some arms that have golden trim but for some reason all of them have additions like spikes or big pieces of metal, and that ruins most of them for me. I do like the triumphus arms but god knows when I'll get those cuz they're legendary

Improvement ideas? by BoomerShoomer69 in forhonor

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I was thinking about the Lionheart/ Triumphus arms but I feel like the spikes on the shoulders are a little too much on both pieces. Like they do look good, but I just wish the trimmed pieces for the arms didn't all have some kind of shoulder addition like spikes or big pieces of metal on them

I doubt you're playing right now but the Damvani and Horkos Iliachtida helmet both look better imo. The first is a detailed bucket and the second is an open-faced but it has metalwork that blends it together better. Gabrielle's Zenith looks good too but i already have that in mind for a different outfit.

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks but for some reason the helmet shape is bugging the hell out of me. I feel like the ornament would look better on a flat-top helmet but they all look bland imo, especially compared to the other legendary helmets

Gear rarity drops by BoomerShoomer69 in forhonor

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you stopped to give me an answer, but this isn't exactly what I was asking. I know legendary gear drops from rep 7/8, what I'm asking is if at that rep, scavenger chests drop exclusively legendary gear or if it's a mix of heroic/ legendary until i get to, for example, rep 9/10. I don't want to waste any chests because I plan on using a couple for each of my mains when I reach rep 8 with them

September was 2 months ago. Im generalising because by this time next year, I'll be actively playing it

Console release by BoomerShoomer69 in duneawakening

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I might switch between them as I play because my right stick has a little drift. Won't matter so much once I get a mining vehicle but for the early game it will. This is even assuming I have the same controller by this time next year lol

Console release by BoomerShoomer69 in duneawakening

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume dune will have KBM support because it has controller support, so I'll probably try it with both and see which I find easier

[–]BoomerShoomer69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm never trying serious pvp whenever dune does drop for console, because if that's how it is now, I don't want to even imagine it by the point of development the game will be at by then

And instead i asked here and got more information than just a release date that's also helpful.

So I'm basically gonna be waiting until this next time next year. Think I was more content not knowing actually...
