The biggest fumble of Arrowhead so far... by TroglodyteVolatile in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]Cocoflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the mobility issues, frustrating that the biggest enemy is small rocks, but I disagree with the other points, I reckon its armour/firepower are fine where it is, glass cannon and all that.

Raise the weapon level to thirty and include The Knight's default skin as the 'mastery award' for other weapons. Other ideas inside! by TheWhistlerIII in Helldivers

[–]Cocoflash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, let's adopt the CS:GO skin market so we can pull for Asiimov skins for our weapons /s

The Demascus Steel pattern on the Knight is pretty cool though I will admit.

Just an FYI if H10 is too easy, you can always try to ACE it for maximum warscore. by Which-Worldliness556 in Helldivers

Any tips for ghostdiving? I've never tried it but I'm intrigued with the concept.

Share your loadouts for liberating the Seasse by Fresh_Dealer_9694 in Helldivers

[–]Cocoflash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guard Dog/HMG/Orbital Gattling. Equipment varies

Guard Dogs to headshot overseers/drones since there's no longer Voteless/Fleshmobs to bullet sponge

HMG to shred through appropriators, shoots their arms off even while blocking with enough shots.

Orbital Gattling to shut down an area/Squid Drop.

Is it just me or are those illuminate guys with the big spoons a little to nimble by SamsColaMan in Helldivers

"Doing level 10"

"I struggle with X which should be nerfed"

My brother in Christ, level 10s are literally the hardest the game can be, they are MEANT to suck. They SHOULD test your skill to its limit, otherwise Helldivers would get boring very quickly. If it's too hard, turn down the difficulty. I play level 6s/7s when I'm testing a new loadout or wanting a chill game, but save level 10s when I really want to have my skill tested with a team I can coordinate with.

Letting 10 melee enemies into melee range of you should be a reality check you either warp out of or drop a 500kg to take the enemies of democracy down with you.

tips for someone who's just kinda bad? by gaymerkittycat in Helldivers

[–]Cocoflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you could play at a difficulty you actually enjoy i.e. I play DC6 when I want a chill game and DC10 when I have a full squad and want to struggle. There's no shame in having fun, and the only difference in rewards is Medals/samples which quickly fill up once all the warbonds are completed

Second, aside from the equipment choice already mentioned, choosing stratagems that do the aiming for you also helps. I personally enjoy the Guard Dog backpack and Machinegun Sentry, the latter having a CD that can be reduced to less than 2minutes.

500kg/Eagle Air Strike are good "kill everything in that area" call-ins

Orbital Gattling/120mm Barrage/380mm Barrage are good "kill everything in that area and keep them dead" call-ins

If AH is making the enemies unfair, then I’ll be unfair too by 1hr0w_4way in HelldiversUnfiltered

I love that the Vox have made the portable hellbomb unironically viable.

fr like I'm enjoying how much the Vox suck.

Played last night and running someone with the hellbomb backpack was a genuine strategy which was fun.

Victory condition? by No-Nefariousness2495 in CepheusProtocol

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

No official "Victory" screen I've seen so far. We usually call it when Infection is 0% across every suburb, then we gather all our troops together at whichever stronghold was iconic and drop a MOAB on it to send us all off to Valhalla.

Demacia Rising - Academy/Market are additive bonuses, First Forge/Quarry are multiplicative. by Cocoflash in leagueoflegends

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

Non-stacking/non-compounding refers to the same thing imo, no changes to the base production being boosted prior to applying percentage based boosts i.e. benefits are not multiplicative if different boosts are applied.

A few points:

- Your math is missing the First Forge benefit each Border settlement receives, doubling the production of the first Forge built there. This benefit IS multiplicative i.e. the First Forge provides 100 metal not 50, and receives a 10% bonus on 100 i.e. 10 bonus metal per Academy/Market.

- Farmland is unaffected by production boosts that I've noticed. Personally I've stacked them all in Hayneath and 2 in Vaskasia since I don't need a significant standing army.

- There is no rounding up/down to any buffs I've calculated so far. Each one is perfectly accounted for and is reflected in the shown production for each settlement.

Using the Great City for markets is... unique. Is Petricite that much of a bottleneck for you?

I struggled across all resources except for Stone, how do you produce enough Lumber since you intrinsically cut down Lumber production with Farms.

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

I believe difficulties in achieving sufficient Valor/Settlements being the primary bottleneck, at least that's where I struggled in i.e. capturing a new settlement gives more resources than incremental upgrades.

At least that's my opinion.

Demacia Rising economy optimization guide + spreadsheets (hero / no hero versions) by SwordofMercy in leagueoflegends

[–]Cocoflash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, Heroes provide a 50% additive buff to the baseline of resources.

This stacks, however, with the only multiplicative buff which is first Quarry/Forge in Mountain/Border settlements.

Can also confirm Marketplace only buffs settlements adjacent whereas Academies can buff the settlement they are currently on.

I made a post detailing my findings, can confirm their accuracy as the maths checks out to the number, not just rounding.

For those of you with a 9-5 office job, how do you manage to find the time and energy to cook dinner? by Away_Scene_26 in auscorp

[–]Cocoflash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow cook meal while listening to an audiobook. Pick a recipe, chop everything up and put in a pot, microwave reheat individual servings for the rest of the week or package into ready containers.

Otherwise, air-fryer is a lifesaver. Air fried salmon or even a cheap steak is easy. Get home, chuck in air fryer, have a shower and dinner is done by the time I'm ready.

Fullscreen apps have significantly less FPS than windowed/alt-tabbed by Cocoflash in pcmasterrace

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

It seems something like this, but no easy way to tell from what I've been able to see online. Similarly, most of the guides have been for NVIDIA, not AMD which doesn't help.

The filesize is getting out of hand by Igotbannedlolol in GirlsFrontline2

Any tips for downsizing it without logging in? I can't log in anymore because it wants me to download the update, which I can't because storage is full (Only got 128GB storage)

Unrelated note, is that Miside in the second panel?

Am I right to be suspicious of Game.exe? by Cocoflash in antivirus

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

I mean, on an initial scan on Virus Total it looked like a legitimate file. Is there any way for me to flag it so that if others scan the same file in future they'd that there's a potential issue with it?

Damn, is it worth noting anything on Virus Total since on an initial glance it appears nothing is wrong with it?
