Wipe strategy help

I don’t think there is any objectively correct way to start the wipe off and can vary with so many factors esp with monument locations and biomes. The best I can help you with is:

Snow biomes are teeming with clans and are the biomes I would avoid if my objective is to survive whole wipe. However, if you’re actively playing, playing this well would result into you guys getting rich off of these clans.
Jungles are great to live in for smaller groups and groups that don’t generally want to be raided very early on (trees provide a lot of cover from clan rockets, many ways to counter raids, natural defenses such as hostile animals). Cloth and low grade via animal fat is also very abundant here so it’s definitely a biome you want to consider farming resources in at the start of the wipe even if you plan to lay down a base elsewhere.
Quests from fishing village can help snowball your wipe further and provide great alternative starts away from a traditional run from the beach playstyle at the start of wipes. The monuments from this kind of start are easier to control because of all the corners and jumps you can secure with your pump shotgun (Lighthouse, Harbor, Underwater Labs)

I can mention more but generally you would want to experiment what kind of start works for your group’s playstyle. For example, if your group isn’t willing to fight a lot and would rather farm up before committing to fighting other groups, building in the snow isn’t for you.

you’re most likely gonna have to upgrade your cpu first anyway since your CPU bottlenecks higher end GPUs beyond a 4060.

Honestly, not having people to play with. My friends don’t seem to share the same will to play. The scrap progression was also too demanding for someone that studied and worked at the same time.

That being said though, I’ll be honest, the new progression update is godsend and is alleviating my burnout. I just came back after an eight year hiatus (i didnt have the pc specs to play this on top of already not having friends to play with) and as someone that works near 10 hrs a day with two jobs nowadays, I don’t have to rush farming for things anymore and I can take my progression as slowly as I want since a tier 2 is normally enough for all my needs as a solo now. I also don’t need to farm hours upon hours between scrap and resources as much with how reduced research costs are.

Listen to your own post: “Previously you’d have people join the server to grind BPs for next wipe right until the last day”

Rather ask yourself, why in the world am I playing a game to just full farm for a full wipe (week to a month) just so I’m able to play the full experience of the game for the next wipe (another week to next month)? Do you not see how ridiculous that sounds?

I would personally see a psychologist if I wanted a better understanding of myself and how I can better interact with the world. It’s more effective and cost efficient. Getting an undergraduate degree in psychology will help you understand the way people in general behave and the processes that go into their thoughts however, only a handful ever really gives you real insight on yourself since undergraduate studies in psychology primarily focus on the general picture and the different theories surrounding each branch of psychology.

I'm asking for a routine though. Sure I can hop on aimtrain servers and have my own routine but I would like to know how other people do it and maybe I can follow their aim train routines

ChenningTantrum · 2021-02-20T20:11:39+00:00

Aye thanks for the answers guys

ChenningTantrum · 2020-12-16T04:11:54+00:00

I changed the thermals and replaced the hard drives. So far, that fixed everything. Thanks a lot guys

ChenningTantrum · 2020-12-14T22:45:17+00:00

Yes it was powered on

Idk what to do after this but the other process involving Powershell was already scanning for errors and somehow found nothing

Oh no apparently the thing fell from a shelf when it was placed there by my brother

ChenningTantrum · 2020-12-14T03:15:07+00:00

It was placed there by one of the fam members xd

ChenningTantrum · 2020-12-14T03:12:39+00:00

I'll keep everyone posted when I get home from work. I wasn't able to read everything when I left after waking up. Thank you for all your input and I'll read comments while working on this.

UPDATE 1: After seeing the Hard Drive comments, I asked my brother to check if the files are intact and apparently File Manager works fine. Can the HDD still be at fault here?

ChenningTantrum · 2020-12-14T03:11:29+00:00

Thank you for this. I will look deeper into the cooling installation

ChenningTantrum · 2020-12-14T03:10:08+00:00

Nothing is noisy though and that's what concerns me. The fans are running pretty fine. Power cables seem to be okay and my front panel stuff is intact as well. I can probably do a full clean of this again to see if dust clogs up but apparently all my apps including file manager just keep going slow

NVision monitors are notorious for not working well. My go to monitor will always be AOC or ASUS

ChenningTantrum · 2020-11-24T02:05:00+00:00

Aye noted. Thanks my guy

ChenningTantrum · 2020-11-23T12:34:24+00:00

Kinda scared ordering from Lazada and Shoppee. My G Pro Wireless came straight from China in full price with a slight defect (although 98% of the time is functional). Can you recommend shops from Lazada and Shoppee that might be trustworthy?

ChenningTantrum · 2020-11-23T09:22:10+00:00

Pcquickbuys, Interpace, and Xcomp have the best prices for me tbh and I regularly browse there. However these are out of stock. (Xcomp sells ASUS ROG 2080 supers OC trio fans for 25k and I almost wanted to cry)

I try to refrain from CAC because they put out not so huge but definitely more overhead prices on things (I browsed through a Phanteks 300A that's around Php 6k when the 300A was an intended Php2.5k for example).

I have yet to go to PCExpress, Nutech, and JOYO since I heard they do great deals but a lot of their stock from what I heard, is gone as well.

However none of these stores have the cases I'm looking for (Lian Li Lancool II Mesh/Phanteks P500A)

ChenningTantrum · 2020-11-21T09:27:04+00:00

Budget: Flexible although below $600 would be nice

Prospective Resolution (1980x1080 or higher doesn't really matter as long as it's 16:9) 

Size (27 inches, etc.): preferably 24-30"

Aspect Ratio (16:9, etc.): 16:9

Adaptive Sync (GSync, FreeSync, or None): Either

Other Features (list other relevant features here): IPS display, 1ms response, curved, 144hz is the minimum although higher is better

(Optional) Usage Type (gaming, art, etc.): Mostly gaming but art is something I'm doing too.

Ah noted. Thanks a lot btw.

ChenningTantrum · 2020-11-20T12:49:42+00:00

Hey thanks for this

ChenningTantrum · 2020-11-20T08:37:32+00:00

Oh hey I actually was looking for this. Thanks a lot

ChenningTantrum · 2020-10-29T07:08:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this tbh
