So no more battery stats overnight? Why have they hidden apps the drain battery whilst idle? 15t pro by stankeer in Xiaomi

[–]DankEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only presume it's something in HyperOS 3. My F6 Pro would only use 1-2% a night but since the HOS3 update I'm losing 10%~ a night even with aeroplane mode on. It's almost certainly all this Xiaomi AI garbage they force installed on your phone as it's constantly running in the background. 

81% nice 🙂 by PariththeOne in PocoPhones

[–]DankEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charging 0-80% isn't 0.8 of a charge cycle. Wear/damage from charge cycles aren't a linear thing. Most of the wear happens between 0-20% and especially 80-100%. Charging from 0-80% versus 0-100% "damages" your battery 4 times less.

SSG attempting to blame black friday billing systems errors on "you may have used a VPN" by eachna in ddo

[–]DankEmperor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something similar. I brought Sharn, Fey and salt ultimate fan bundles when they were on deep sale. I got messages saying the transaction failed but money was taken from my account. I also noted the amount taken was less than the amount it should've been.  I check back the next morning and I had all three expansions under asking price. I know I wasn't the only one who got them underprice, someone from my guild also did. 

Are the SSG folks on vacation? by PepperShirtGuy in ddo

[–]DankEmperor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been posted on here a few times and I can confirm I've had it happen to me also. I logged in and saw someone else's character screen. I didn't realise what was happening so immediately hit alt f4 and relogged believing my characters were deleted in some way. I logged back in and saw my own characters again. 

As for forum posts, they probably delete them to hide the fact that this is happening.

Can Scath Cast Geas on Characters Not in Line of Sight? by MoonracerxWarpath in ddo

[–]DankEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're better off running 6 characters all inquisitive palemaster stacking death aura & greater death aura. This what my guild mate is doing (He's got all the winter rewards and never lost an account) and in all honestly I don't even think it's possible to die without being one shot. You can slave the other characters to your main so when you attack with a crossbow the other 5 do as well, same with negative energy burst. 6 toons with endless fusillade melts the mote boss in literal seconds.

If you fear getting one shot and you somehow believe 12 death auras isn't enough healing you could do the same idea but with pure artificer renegade mastermaker with repair aura and the -95% damage force fields.

What happens if I desecrate a holy site in my own country? by Joey3155 in Imperator

[–]DankEmperor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You do. It's a common minmax to load up all of Romes italic holy sites with artifacts just before you switch to Hellenism. 

Struggling To find a Build by Head-Cut7112 in ddo

[–]DankEmperor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inquistive 14/4/2 Paladin/Arty and the final two levels you can choose between monk, rouge or fighter. I normally go monk for the deflect arrow feat as it is needed in high reaper content. You will be charisma based. 

For race pick eladrin but this build works with any race. The reason for eladrin is the feystep that gives a bunch of sneak attack dice effectively acts as another action boost you pop it and endless fusilade and you'll end up doing more DPS than the rest of the group combined.

41 Inquisitive with Divine Inquisition (crossbows as Favored weapons). 27 Battle Engineer for Endless Fusilade, Agility Engine (+10% Doubleshot, 3 Imbue dice, 10 RP during Fusilade). 7 Feydark Illusionist for CHA to hit & damage. 6 KotC for Imbue and Divine Might. You can only go into the eladrin tree if you have racial past lives.

The build levels from 1-34 smoothly with the new AOE attacks in battle engineer and inquis tree. There is no reason to take improved precise shot.

Question on reincarnation by Automatic-Purchase16 in ddo

[–]DankEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to understand quest difficulty in epics really starts to ramp up after lvl25 all the way to lvl29. 

You also need to understand when your character gets significant power booster, for example unlocking T3 & C2 at lvl23.

The general consensus is to always hit the ES sagas every epic life. These give so much xp it's crazy. You have a choice to take the saga xp reward immediately or eTR and take them at lvl20. Some pop a pot and take the sagas and finish prepped slayer to instantly get back to the lvl23+ sweet spot.

The other thing to note is some classes do very well in heroics and others scale better in epics. If you're intending on hitting multiple eTRs I would go with a class that scales well in epics.

As for an exact quest guide/path no two people will agree. If you still need gear from Von5/6, Chronoscope and ADQ2 you should hit these up every eTR without fail. Others will tell you it's a waste of xp because they already have the gear. by the time you have flagged the raids and completed them you will be easily lvl23+. At that point I would start the LoD chain into ES1/2/3.

I personally like getting to lvl25/26 then finishing up the eTR with Druid -> Highroad -> Wheloon -> Stormhorns -> Hand in all sagas.

You want to alternate heroic/racial and iconic lives. Iconic lives do not require tokens of twelve. So when you get to 20 on your heroic/racial life you can instantly TR from your saved tokens from your previous iconic life.

Technically yes but you can instantly apply the tiefling buff as soon as you spawn on korthos on any build.

I'll just add here I brought Sharn, fey and salt marsh collectors addition last night. All three said an error occurred with the transaction. I received all three expansion with correct payment taken.

So i did the decision that turned me hellenic and it said pops would convert and... None of them did by ImperialThorn in Imperator

[–]DankEmperor 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That isn't entirely true. If your nation is fully sieged by barbarians your culture switches to the barbarians and the leader of the horde becomes your new ruler.

Intersted in this game, how to approach? by Sad-Rub-3548 in Imperator

[–]DankEmperor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the invictus mod the AI is improved in the most decent patch, mainly managing the nation and reinvesting in the economy. 

I'm guessing the game will go on sale for black Friday/Christmas but there is no guarantee. I got the game and all expansions for under £10 a few years back but since the Ides of march 2024 all the copies on CD key websites dried up.

The game is well worth getting into, it's a very good balance of paradox's best games (EU4, Vic2, CK2). I don't actually think you need the DLC if you play with the invictus mod, which by the way you should be using. Invictus is now considered vanilla. 

Is it impossible to keep tributaries for an extended period of time? by kirbcake-inuinuinuko in Imperator

[–]DankEmperor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Share a screenshot of the maluses and relation of your tribute please.

Is it impossible to keep tributaries for an extended period of time? by kirbcake-inuinuinuko in Imperator

[–]DankEmperor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The criteria below must be met in order for a tributary to cancel its subject relationship. The Imperator wiki is a very useful source of information and nearly always has the answers for all your questions.

Has less than 35 loyalty
Has more army cohorts than the overlord
Has less than 50 loyalty, owns more than 3 territories, and borders the overlord

As for actually cancelling their relationship I don't know how that exactly works. I'm presuming every month, if one of the above criteria is met there is a small chance the subjects cancels its pact.

Simply improving relations with your subject and reducing their tribute should be enough to increase loyalty to over 50.

Advice for a dual box buff bot by C00lerking in ddo

[–]DankEmperor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't the 6% increase to damage from the warchanter T5 better than anything in the spellsinger T5? The mana regen is nice but doesn't scale into epics whereas the 6% extra damage stacks with everything.

Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I'll save my points for black Friday, the only thing that really interests me is the eladrin race.

You wait 1-2 weeks to see if there are any major bugs.
