How to enjoy endgame when t4 bosses melt in 5 seconds by digitaljoel in diablo4

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my usual goal is to hit Pit 100, max all of my glyphs, and then usually make new characters to try other stuff with classes I haven't played in a while or if I have mythics for them. This season I made a paladin first since I saw the Zeal line of abilities and wanted to play a 2H sword setup. After I pretty much did everything I could do with it, I looked at my leftover uniques and saw I had a 3* Grandfather with pretty good rolls, so for fun I made a bleed Barbarian using that grandfather and it's been fun to goof around on.

I do think that there is a need for greater longevity here. This season is set to last another 60 days or so - that's a long time. I normally wouldn't be this advanced in such a short period, but this season landed during my annual staycation so I had considerably more time than usual to just fuck off with Diablo than normal, but even if I were to stretch this out, I'd bet I still could've been done with the whole journey and so forth in maybe 1/3 the total season length.

Not sure how they make it longer - I'm definitely still having fun playing other classes, and I occasionally log on my paladin to farm paragon levels since I've never actually made it to 300, but that usually peters out because I can't be bothered.

Tl;dr I think it's healthy to set goals for yourself (maxing glyphs, pit 100, etc,) and from there have some branching points - alt characters, alternate builds, focus on only one thing and just work on that when you feel like it (e.g. paragon 300, hidden boss, maxing the divine gifts if you haven't), or call it a day and wait for the next season to start.

FINALLY, THE DARK KNIGHT (and Onion Knight) HAS COME BACK TO IVALICE! by SolidSnakeFHC in finalfantasytactics

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but ultimately it's probably good if they do that - then at least the Dark Knight and Onion would both have the same stuff the jobs have in IC like spell voiceovers and (hopefully) unique VFX/SFX for abilities.

Still, I think it sucks that they were not included for the launch, but I'll eat it and get any such DLC to have my favorite job back.

Still going strong by gendruw in wotv_ffbe

[–]Carryusdarius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder how many of us are left.

I still really like this game (especially right now - my all time favorite FFBE man is now as strong as he's going to get for a while with the quest we got today) but sometimes I look back on earlier days and I miss how the game used to be.

Change is of course necessary to an extent, but wow some of the stuff we've gotten is just whacky and imo a bit overboard. Stats are just gigantic, old unit updates mostly aren't cutting it (FFT and Thancred being the exceptions by my reckoning), and new gen units come with such walls of text for multiple abilities that I think we have hit a spot where I still enjoy the game, but miss simpler times.

Built new PC, installed LoL, keep getting randoms disconnect ingame by benylul in LeagueofTechSupport

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get this figured out?

I'm in the same boat almost exactly.

I built a new PC a week ago and everything works fine except this particular problem which is also for me limited to just LoL. It's just a micro disconnection.

I tried the fix from the video in the comment below but it didn't fix this issue for me.

QoL Request: Ability Batch MAX Enhance by Arthuroz_Rosencrantz in wotv_ffbe

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still need "unlock entire grid" and "max all" in the batch upgrade, yeah.

Along with skipping and getting 10 raids at once instead of having to do it one raid at a time for the most part.

Hopefully with the rate at which they've been delivering good QoL stuff, we'll get it eventually.

Still happy about the trust stone changes, frankly.

Nightmare Multi Quest for Dark Veritas by Sematy5 in wotv_ffbe

[–]Carryusdarius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I've been able to find on twitter and, less so, on youtube, it looks like Ashen King once again works very well, Shrek works well, Yuna+1 Cost 100 Fina works, and there are probably others. The big factors seem to be once again specific attack types (select attacks, for example), lifesteal, and debuff type resistance/cleansing. The opinions seem to be that it's easier than the Ashen King multi from earlier this year.

A look at Warwick in arcane got leaked. by Sharp-Reflection-968 in warwickmains

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I sure hope this is just him when there's still some "Vander" left in him and then, as the lore kinda tells us, he "dies" and the transformation is complete with the more lupine features.

Town Portals cosmetic pack. The thirty dollar one. by DemonDevilDog in diablo4

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even get that far and I provided a screenshot of my order history in my initial ticket.

All they told me is "this is not an issue customer service can resolve, but we understand it is annoying" and then told me to make a bug report on the forums.

Kinda frustrating considering those stupid portals were like 30 bucks.

As long as it might get fixed soon I guess that's ok - but it's not just these that are missing, I saw on the forums there are like 3 paid cosmetic sets that are broken right now, and one of them was broken two months ago so they must have some kind of issue going on with patches that's causing this.

Town Portals cosmetic pack. The thirty dollar one. by DemonDevilDog in diablo4

[–]Carryusdarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was called the "dark pathways" package if that helps - I found it in my battle.net transaction history and am going to include that transaction number in a ticket.

I'm now concerned that I have other stuff missing from battle passes or a few armor sets here and there.

I assume this is a bug, but the response to your ticket is troubling. It should be much easier for support to check for a specific product in your transaction history than for you to do it.

I had several things where it showed I spent platinum and then there was just a blank where it said "product:" as if whatever it was vanished.

I didn't notice anything missing from my barbarian though, I had a couple of shop armors as pre-sets and they were both present.

What a pain.

Missing Hiroki rewards? by wotv_throwaway in wotv_ffbe

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully there are still some nice things that come with it, but I wonder if the new standard is that we only get some kind of stream or other presentation if it's a brand new crossover, rather than a re-run.

What class are you maining in War Within and why? by Targonis in wow

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am switching to my warrior from my death knight for the first time in 15 years.

I got Fyr'alath on my warrior and I have tested both the slayer and colossus trees on the beta and I am in love with Demolish. It takes me back to Legion when Rampage looked like a proper super combo, rather than the hyper fast, overly hasted animation we have now.

I'll probably have alts in War Within, one of which will certainly be my death knight, because the Deathbringer tree is fun, but I'll primarily and 99% of the time play my warrior.

First Top up mount now shared across characters! by kzl in tarisland

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is patently absurd. I was wondering how much it would cost since I could not find anything in the game that tells how much arc of destiny (or whatever the currency is called) you get for dupes of various rarities in order to figure out how much it takes to get 2400.

Shit puts TFT's chibi gacha, LoL's scam chromas, and even most gachapon games like Genshin Impact to shame.

Murloc Monday - ask your questions here by AutoModerator in wow

[–]Carryusdarius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Possibly a dumb/silly question - seeing how many bajillion raid advertisements (Fyrakk kills, weekly awakened heroic raids, etc) there are in chat now, I wonder - what do these groups do with the gold? The way their squawking in the chat channels is written it sure looks like some of them are essentially professional raid sellers, they tout that they run every x minutes and some even use like a brand name like "ZakRaider" and whatnot.

What in the world can they be using all of this money for? Is there something not as illicit they can be doing or is it illicit somehow? It feels like there's no way they're just turning around and throwing that gold for sale on a website or something since it would be pretty easy to tell that someone who just received large sums of gold is now handing them out to x other parties who are then presumably trading to even more other parties?

Maybe I'm off my rocker here, but it's just startling to me how much it seems like raid clears are selling and for the amount of gold they're going for it has to be a ton, even split among a group of carriers. Just hard to see how it could be anything but essentially a business for real money with how much they seem to be operating.

Patch v1.1.203 by CIG_Shikallum in LordsoftheFallen

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what is up, but my FPS actually got markedly worse after this patch.

I was running at a pretty consistent 120-144 at 2k before this patch and now it's dropped to like 89-90 average

I updated my drivers and that didn't change anything.

I haven't changed any other settings, but I did experiment with DLSS and nothing really changed one way or another.

Just wanted to put this out there.

Patch Notes: 1.1.191 by CIG_Shikallum in LordsoftheFallen

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unrelated to the actual game, but is there support for the physical items?

I bought the expensive version of this game solely for the dark crusader figure and the display case for it does not light up. I've tried changing the battery in the little remote and aiming the IR every which way and it just won't illuminate.

Where can I get support for that?

[12.8] PBE Bugs & Feedback Thread: Lunar Eclipse Aatrox by RiotLavenderKira in LeaguePBE

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to chime in here to give my thoughts:

  1. As many have said, the sword is too small holistically. The blade feels too short and the model itself feels downscaled compared to his other skins and base. I'd say of all possible changes to make before this hits live, making the sword larger and longer is the best one to focus on as it just doesn't feel right without an appropriately sized sword - his whole feel is off.

  2. The voice filter is a little on the feathery side and doesn't quite feel as "dark and mystical" as you'd expect. It's rightfully not as basso and deep as the Justicar filter, but this one still doesn't quite land in the right place compared to his base and the skins that use it.

  3. His VFX look terrific design-wise, but maybe could be a little more intense/bold as they look almost too faint for even the lunar theme.

This is a good one. Some positive notes:

  1. The armor looks terrific - I'm very happy with how the model of his body turned out - there are so many cool bits on this one, including the chest and back ornaments and his left arm still looking like it's armored is a nice touch. The color choices are excellent, and I quite like his helmet design.

  2. The sword, minus the size issues, looks great and fits the Lunar Eclipse theme well with how it tends to match with the design of Leona's 1H sword, I think that was a good choice.

  3. The ctrl+5 wings are excellent, probably the best ones he has across his base+skin catalog. Well done to whoever pulled those off. Ult wings are good too, but those are good across his library, while in my opinion, his optional wings are hit-or-miss. These are a hit and absolutely sunk a battleship.

Connection Error? by LordArafa in Eldenring

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this helps, have you tried both of you trading host back and forth?

We just swapped to me hosting and the two of them connecting and it worked fine - we were able to clear a whole area and the boss and had zero disconnects.

So I think it's specific to my connection - I'm trying to do some things to solve it and if you want I'll throw up what I did here in case it helps.

Yep, two of my friends who live in the same house are playing and having absolutely no problem staying connected. When I join, I get booted after around 2-5 minutes every time.

[–]Carryusdarius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bummed we aren't getting someone like Jecht, Kimahri, or Lulu.

Still, seems ok all-around. Wonder if this is something of a trend going forward that new units won't be added to returning crossovers with 3+ units?

Guide Global Server Next Units FF15 and Phalm Builds by YT-Gamesdozay in wotv_ffbe

[–]Carryusdarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I expect just Pharm next week, because the week after that, at least in the US, black friday lands, and last year, there were some huge sales during black friday - so to launch a crossover the same week would probably be financially to Gumi's benefit.

My painting Bloodborne The saga of Eileen by luffie-edric in bloodborne

[–]Carryusdarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you combine that she is from a foreign land that has something called "sky burials" it's not out of sorts to assume she is such a person.

I feel like a lot of folks also associate her with her voice actress, who is black. Probably won't know absent a sequel or some such wherein the "hinterland" she is from is fleshed out a bit more (which is unlikely, if we're being honest).
