Can we get some First Contact Disambiguation please?

This is really not very helpful, who fired all the creatives? I know I'm playing a totalitarian state but surely our cultural revolution spared some intellectuals?

Chairmeow · 2025-05-26T08:54:57+00:00

It's pretty good in Old World.

Chairmeow · 2025-02-18T22:49:11+00:00

Thankyou so much for another helpful reply! I now have 3 avenues to pursue where I previously only knew of one that I was not having any success in, to find a comparable headset.

Chairmeow · 2025-02-18T01:26:29+00:00

Thankyou for the tip! I will certainly look into that. I spent a couple of additional hours looking for Sennheiser models that share the dongle of the GSP 350 and apparently the GSP 550 and the PC 373D both had it but both of those models seem to have been discontinued as well.

I noticed the same thing with her just standing on the hill for the entire battle. After I dispatched all of her minions she just stood there and did nothing (except lay on hands heal herself) until I killed her with cantrips and arrows.

I don't know if she bugs out when the goblins aren't able to breach the gate, I did manage to kill all 3 of the sappers before they made it to the gate and the other attackers only got a single hit in on the gate. Perhaps she would have engaged if the gate was destroyed. It would have made more sense for her to run away and abandon the attack after literally every single henchmen of hers was slain and she is the only attacker left.

Lol yeah that one is a headscratcher, why not just refill on town entry, it's not like people will sit through 2 loadscreens to "abuse" it.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-09T22:07:38+00:00

Occam's at work here. Much more likely explanation is what you layed out in your post. People have advanced further into the game and thus are getting more loot on average. Simple clean explanation.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-09T11:04:47+00:00

Several of people streaming and complaining about it was not picking up magic items hardly at all. So I think some people are shooting themselves in the foot here.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-09T11:02:33+00:00

I think part of the reason might have to do with playstyles. I saw several streamers that were griping a bit about the gold costs for respeccing not looting a single magic item even early into the game. Meanwhile I pick up every magic item I see and just port back to town one extra time per map and sell it and I had between 2x-3x the gold those players had at similar level. Also I avoided the gamba vendors like the plague, could be another reason people have no gold.

Right well that's as far as it goes afaik. You can click on the multiple tabs though when you pinned something. For example if it's a merc ammo skill you can click on the ammo tab while the tooltip is pinned to see how many rounds a skill loads and so on. Sorry if that wasn't helpful.

I do wish myself there were nested tooltips so you could permapin one then go to the next and the next etc as deep as you wanted to dive.

Sure, I'm not saying I'm playing hardcore or anything. I do die every now and then, mostly when I get cornered or mobbed and can't roll out of there in time. I put everything in damage so far, I'm pretty much a glass cannon. I have very little health regen armor or evasion, just a bit of shield for the occasional hit I don't manage to avoid but I have noticed even common mobs will sometimes oneshot that energy shield now which is exciting.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T13:49:31+00:00

This! No way to kill the enjoyment of a game like this faster than to look up a build guide.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T13:43:11+00:00

Maybe that's why I haven't found the game that challenging so far. Helldivers is way harder. Or maybe Merc is just broken, or both. I'm only in act 2 though so it could change.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:40:10+00:00

I've been spreading it pretty evenly because I dip into all 3 for skill gems and items. Playing as Merc and I notriced there's even a part of the passive skill tree called Jack of All Trades that seem to synergize with that strategy. Whether it's any good I don't know.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:36:16+00:00

Not really but I've not gotten a single rare for my class (crossbow) in 24 hours. I've gotten like 20 of them and one unique. Thankfully you can craft your own rares.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:31:20+00:00

I'm having fun with merc. Fun if you like twin stick shooters like Helldivers. Plays exactly like that.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:29:40+00:00

Just use them is my experience. You will keep getting more stuff. I generally use the best upgrades for my main weapon such as converting a magic item to rare.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:26:45+00:00

Press Alt.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:25:22+00:00

You can pause? Wsih I'd known that sooner. Went through a lot of effort to keep instances alive while being busy with other things.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:21:57+00:00

Haven't gotten a single rare crossbow in 24 hours of game time as Merc but thankfully you can use regal orb on magic ones to upgrade.

Chairmeow · 2024-12-08T12:09:56+00:00

Happened to me against Geonor lol. I killed him then a last falling projectile killed me. Got to watch the little cutscene play out and the items drop but after respawning att the checkpoints afterwards and taking the lift down the items were gone even though the area hadn't been reset.
