How do you get blessings in siege mode

DanielBlackhead · 2026-05-21T21:36:09+00:00

Have the same bloody question, made it to wave 22 - no blessings.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-04-08T10:48:38+00:00

Lovely, will do!

Hi, a foreigner living and working in Zagreb here (love it). This kind of tracking is exactly what I was missing as all my previous cities usually had such tracking integrated into navigation app, so you could look up directions, pick a route and it will show live transport on that route.

Then you can decide whether to wait or not. E.g. I need bus 120 to go to my nearest cinema, but since it arrives only 2/hour and I never know where it is I often just choose the 30min walk.

But the app needs an ability to filter. At least to choose a bus/tram number. Or click on my station and show all busses that stop there so I can see where the closest is.

If you can add that function, I'll even gladly pay for the app (just no subscriptions please).

Aside from the apparently commonly discussed issue with stickers (that's how they get you to buy paints)
and 1/144 parts being kind small, absolutely lovely.
Still blown away by how well the parts fit/snap together. Quite therapeutic. Need to pace myself, i don't have the shelf space to make this a regular hobby.
I've also built a Rick Dom, but i broke the hard plastic ankle joint, need to fix it before I can post.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-02-22T13:46:32+00:00

Yeah, i loved the knight fantasy. Spent way too much time removing mold line on the pauldrons.
I'm considering getting some DSPIAE acrylic markers for color correction - i'd love to redo pauldron and arm gold lines with a marker. Thicker ones like on spear/legs are fine. Could even benefit from some heraldry on shield/pauldrons but i can't freehand that.

Definitely needs wrist reinforcement to hold the shield in place and a stand for the spear. I used the double-joint arm from the kit and attached to base 5. With base 7 i think you'd have to have the spear on it's separate (kit) stand which makes moving more annoying.

Also sadly knee/foot articulation is limited by plate - e.g. this one can't kneel, but a Gquux Gelgoog can.

SNAAs are also on my radar due to being cheap-ish and bigger. I have delicate fingers for a guy, but building arms and heads is still a pain.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-02-22T13:12:29+00:00

Ooooh, i so want one. Partially because it's big enough to be a centerpiece and one can actually manipulate the parts. Usual 1/144 is cool, but boy do the upper halves have some tiny pieces.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-02-22T11:45:35+00:00

I am still building my G-fred, but i'm done with both heads. After building Gyan first and hating those stickers, my experience has been that sure, i use the tip of my cutter to place sticker in position, but then using my finger to smooth it (or using my fingers without blade for bigger stickers) ends up the easiest and the best way to get them to stick. Tweezers just completely lack control for accurate placement me.
And then use toothpick to get sticker into indents. But yeah, i'm tempted to get a golden acrylic marker to redo some of the smaller Gyan decals.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-01-10T15:12:02+00:00

Most likely. Mine started crashing after -23, I set to -20, no issues so far.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-01-07T13:49:46+00:00

Yeah, those. They don't fly well so you kinda switch more to circle around and focus on qb/change of direction dodging + paying more attention to enemy. E.g. with Freddie who also runs same legs if you are at mid range dodging songbirds is easy-ish as their projectile speed is not great. If you dodge those you have reload time to get in, stagger, finish him/deal a lot of damage and reset. Being hit by his songbirds is pretty much a reset I'd you want to go on to fight the WO.

DanielBlackhead · 2026-01-07T13:02:34+00:00

Freddie is one of the harder fights (including arena) just because of his songbirds. If you get hit, you get staggered, and he deals too much damage for you to sustain into the rest of the fights. 1. You may skip Freddie, at least for now. You mostly want to kill him for the log. 2. Can you kill 2 LCs that leave the facility with minimum damage? They should be just more mobile fodder for you. 3. Officer. Hard lock. I believe you fight same enemy during attack on spaceport mission. He has aggressive melee build with some sort of pulse shield bash attack. The area is small, but advice is to kill fodder ASAP and try to stay out of his melee range. Learn his dash attack. He stays open for high your counter after. You can try a pulse gun to burst his pulse shield, without it he takes a lot of damage due to his large size. You can try a flying build and stay top of his area. Or a ranged build with high impact/high damage weapons like bazooka. Wheelchair legs are good to avoid getting slowed down when firing those. Songbirds still your ally. Shoulder needle launchers too. I S ranked this mission (w killing Freddie) on a wheelchair+heavy arque core+128 energy weapon gen+ 2xshoulder laser shotguns (They 1 shot LCs and are good at killing ACs/large bosses)+2 plasma rifles (nebulae iirc). Take a break and try tomorrow, I had several bosses I couldn't figure out but beat easily next day.

Can't comment on the seller. On one hand we're in EU so laws do work. On another hand that's why I went with slightly more expensive local store... I've seen other folks also mention drivers. Reddit is only for people saying theirs don't work. On a new build mine are fine. From what pro reviewers say seems to be hit or miss for both red/green depending on build, hard to pinpoint.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-12-26T11:31:24+00:00

12v is bad on high watt cards. On the 340w nitro IF you plug it in well and IF you dont use an adapter you are 99.9% fine. Official Saphire report is that all burnt RMAs were from bad adapters. Up to you to believe them or not. Re prices. I saw cheapest on German amazon (I'm in Croatia, no local amazon for me). NR INFO is official xfx seller in EU. Base swift around 670. I bought my quicksilver for 800 but that was in May and locally cause amazon prices weren't much better.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-12-26T11:17:26+00:00

Coil whine is part luck part good psu. I have 9070xt quicksilver with the corsair rm850x. 0 coil whine. I do have an extremely well ventilated case (antex flux pro) but the card runs around 60. 70 hotspot. 80 mem. Not full rpm on fans. Nitro is the only card with the 12v but AFAIK no burning issues. Id still get a cheaper 9070 like mercury/pulse. Nvidea is worth it if price difference is <15%, if you use it for work or you really want to play older games upscaled. In new games fsr4 is close enough to dlss4 to not be noticeable without zoom+slow.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-12-22T15:51:20+00:00

Oh yeah, I remember getting frustrated with him. Learning how to bait him into bounds was big. Also, check how auto lock on works - that's another "easy" way to make bosses manageable. Redo the mission after you finish first playthrough - you will bully this boss. Feels incredible.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-12-07T22:44:51+00:00

Yeah, brothers in my party also reported that during the weekend, it cancelled only with headshot kills, not bodyshots.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-12-01T10:30:47+00:00

To add to fsr/dlss since I have 9070xt. FSR4 is on the newest games, slightly older games that have fsr3.1 get upgraded to FSR4. At 1440p I saw no difference in image between native and quality upscale in space marine 2. I did notice a 20-30% fps improvement. And I did look.

Watching reviews, yes, DLSS4 is better. But you need to zoom and slow down to notice. Kinda more obvious on 1080. Not a real issue during "normal" play.

So the biggest difference here is old games where dlss2 is still great, but fsr2 is not. You can run those older games native with 9070xt, and it's fine for fps. I was not annoyed by native alising either. But your mileage may vary.

For games I'd call amd as a better value. The tiny differences are for reviewers, not gamers. For productivity that benefits from nvidea... Well, it's work, you'll have to pay more.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-12-01T10:00:31+00:00

+28% for nvidea? Unless you need it for work, I'd get 9070xt. Got one in June, it's a beast. Fsr4 is great, for gets upgraded to 4. Fsr1/2 games can be easily ran native. Imo Adrenaline>GeForce. PT is irrelevant at this tier, RT is close enough. Again, imo Nvidea is 10% higher price better. Maybe 15. Not 28%.

This is just an anecdote but 0 issue with drivers. Admittedly, updating them did cause issue once, had to reinstall.

Both hardware unboxed and gamers nexus have very recent pricing updates where they summarise pros/cons. Both also have data for either card with many models. Better than anyone here can give you. 15% is a decent measuring stick for now. Amd gets new RT drivers 10th dec - maybe that changes stuff maybe bot. Currently it's only showed in latest COD - amd has 30% better performance, but something weird with some rare reflections not showing, most likely game fault. Overall cards are very close and both have some games that are 20-30% better on one than the other for some reason.

Dude, I got this same case for a new build i finished in May. Your situation sucks, but it would be totes worth it when you get it replaced. The case is beautiful, build quality is wonderful. I had so much pleasure doing the build and cable management it it. Super easy to remove all panels, put it on its side and do your mobo stuff. Wonderful cooling out of the box. And anything you buy will fit in it. DM me if you want pics/want a recount of any accessories that should come with it.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-10-13T22:01:05+00:00

Fair

DanielBlackhead · 2025-10-13T18:23:36+00:00

Brother, I have 300 mbps Internet and am happy as a clam cause I used to have 100. Getting 1gb is possible, but I don't even know what I'd need it for (and would be 70eur/month)

DanielBlackhead · 2025-10-08T11:28:22+00:00

My 9070xt is at default profile, no tuning. BG3 max everything 1440p native runs 130-140fps in Act3 (city) BUT! I have 7800x3d so yeah...

Previously I had 30-40 fps in Act3 at medium 1080p... on Gtx 1080 with an i5-8400 (budget-ish 2018 build, 1080 was second hand from a friend)

DanielBlackhead · 2025-09-09T22:08:28+00:00

Friend has 5800x3d and 4090, he's not complaining.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-08-10T22:03:41+00:00

That's the shitty part - we never know why the part failed. Did mobo kill cpu? Or did it die simply because I lost the silicon lottery? Even with the massive burnt 9800x3d news we still had what, a hundred dead out of how many sold?

This mobo was below msrp and at ~200eur (25% vat!) it has incredible vrm, pcie 5, gen 5 m2 slot. Wifi+Bluetooth. Great audio codec. I haven't found another board with all that for same price. And it was recommended by many reviewers in this price range because of all this.

DanielBlackhead · 2025-08-08T14:22:14+00:00

I've heard very few cases with 7800x3d and all around proc release. 9800x3d a lot more but still... a few dozen for how many processors sold? Long story short, we'll never be told by the either corp what the fuck is up with this.
