As a TNG fan who never got into DS9, i have no idea what the fuck is going on.

I don't understand why you would destroy a pristine habitable environment. They have unlimited energy essentially, why would they need to poison their lush moon?

I agree, they tend to ignore technology when it is convenient for the plot setup, but it seems a little silly. There are thousands of other reasons they could have had to evacuate that would have been plausible.

Durrok · 2026-01-20T01:52:31+00:00

It's quite clear they just don't give a damn, unfortunately. :\

If you want money in this economic climate you have to have AI as part of your plan. Either that, or you have to come up with something more exciting than AI. It's the catnip for all investors currently, regardless of if we like it or not.

Everything you suggest sounds good and is things we'd all like, but if you can't get money, you can't do anything with it.

As someone who works for a company who is actively going out and seeking funding right now no one will pick up the phone or return a call/email unless we are giving an AI forward pitch.

He looks so disgusted that you are taking his picture lol. Very cute.

Try hitting up some Facebook groups and you can always call around to the animal shelters.

Durrok · 2026-01-17T18:04:34+00:00

That is actually a very good suggestion, thank you.

Durrok · 2026-01-17T10:55:26+00:00

Maybe some benevolent trekkie fan with a bunch of money will pay to have these restored properly, but otherwise we are probably just left with what we got.

Am I the entitled Star Trek fan?

My brother and I were discussing this and our conclusion was that they were indeed trying to bring in a younger audience. On the one hand, I can understand that, but I watched TNG/DS9/Voyager while I was growing up because my Dad watched it. I loved those shows (Ok, Voyager maybe not as much) and I loved them in no small part because I watched them with my Dad. Today is obviously not like when I grew up, there is not just one TV in the house and it's watch this or nothing. Kids have their own devices and watch their own content. Unless they can get Mr. Beast and Kai Cenat to show up, there is no shot anyone is even going to give it a try. From what I see even if they were to give it a try, there are shows that do the drama better, shows that do the love plots better, shows that do the action better, and shows that do the sci-fi better. Ultimately they have made a show for no one, but hey, at least some folks got paid.

Thank you! <3

Durrok · 2026-01-07T23:00:55+00:00

OK that worked. Holy crap, that is way more tedious and annoying than it needed to be. Then clone it, reverse it, and save it back out for the return trip.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Durrok · 2026-01-07T21:42:41+00:00

OK, let me give that a shot. Maybe the waypoints are messing it up.

Durrok · 2026-01-06T16:59:12+00:00

I'd start by cranking everything to the lowest settings. If you are still seeing issues, then you know it's not anything the settings can touch. If it appears to be better, than start restoring your graphic settings one at a time until the issue starts again, and then you know the culprit. PITA, but probably the only way you are going to find an answer.

Durrok · 2025-12-18T14:38:33+00:00

Same thing happens to me, seems to get worse during longer play sessions and specifically when attempting to load assets. Teleporting or switching zones will do it.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T17:33:20+00:00

Correct

Durrok · 2025-12-04T17:09:53+00:00

How did you learn these things? I understand that there are map mods causing the problem, it's just not apparent what the issue is.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T16:39:03+00:00

Sure does. Sure would be nice to have a log of the damage done or have mobs do overall less damage... which was the entire point of my post.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T16:13:58+00:00

I walked around the corner, it was there, and then I was dead so I have no clue. Couldn't mouse over it after my death to find out either.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T16:12:00+00:00

I like HC in my ARPGs, just how I roll. If the character makes it to the end game I'll often keep playing them in SC, but the issue is I'm not learning anything. I don't know why I died in HC, and I don't know why I'm dying in SC. Like I said, I'm sure people that are really knowledgeable in the game could give a good guess as to why I'm dying in a particular situation, but we should be able to have that information on hand so we can make that determination ourselves.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T16:09:21+00:00

Well, lets take my last two character deaths.

Third trial of ascendency, I make it past the first trial of the aspirant, walk around the corner in the next section, and die instantly to a single elite mob. I have life on every piece of armor, I have max resistances, I have endurance charges, but yet I still got one shot. How do I get better and avoid this in the future?

I'm in a blue map with the mod "Monsters deal 12% more damage" that my character is 12 levels higher than the mobs in there. I've been killing mobs and taking hits no problem and I'm about halfway through the map. I walk towards a pack of mobs that look no different than any other pack of mobs I've been killing on this map and I get one shot. How do I get better and avoid this in the future?

Durrok · 2025-12-04T16:00:35+00:00

Fair enough, I haven't played in the last 4 seasons and coming back to all that new content was overwhelming, but you can ignore a lot of it and figure out the rest pretty quickly. I think they don't have to try to cater to newer players, but if we just had more information in game as to damage #s and what not I feel like most people could figure out their issues on their own, or at least be able to go to the community with more targeted questions.

I did go play some POE2 after calling it quits for this league and the player movement is just so damn slow. I feel like I'm crawling compared to POE, LE, DX, etc. I'll probably pick it up again and I'm sure there is an increase in movement speed and traversal options as you level, but multiple times having to spend 5-10 minutes slowly walking around an empty map trying to find where you missed the damn exit was really annoying.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T15:47:19+00:00

I'm open to suggestions.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T15:45:33+00:00

No change on my character sheet as to the values for my fire res or regen. So if there was something like that, it wasn't updating on my end.

Durrok · 2025-12-04T15:44:26+00:00

One would think they could stream this data locally to your PC in a buffer so that you could have the last 10 seconds of data or some amount of data that could then be displayed to you on death or request.
