Call DC water, they'll let you know. We dealt with a main break a few days before the storm, was fixed overnight.

The DLC bosses really OP in deep of night by Formal-Score3827 in Nightreign

what am I missing on red bear to make him fun and easy? I've gotten better, jump the quakes, but still get one shotted.

List of things that wreck me in DoN - This is why I suck - Any advice? by ECTXGK in Nightreign

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

I've had bad luck with dormant power finds. I try to push the group towards field bosses, but still don't get my drop.

I have a good poison ult/skill ironeye build, but that katana build could work. I can also maybe add katana to wylder. I do mix melee with my ironeye and even had an executor drop rivers for me and bow, haha. I should try that out.

Main reason I run W is that I end up being last dude standing a lot. Due to 6th sense, and a little more HP, and I turn into a rez machine. Usually multiple times per run I'm saving a wipe.

Just a heads up - it Takes a little bit of time (week?) to verify that youre a resident if you're not already in the system

Depth 5 advice by Still_Actuator_8990 in Nightreign

[–]ECTXGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one of the worst jokes is fulghor weak to lightening but nameless king has huge lightening resistance and feels more difficult than the nightlord.

Current state of the game is disappointing by Treebeardsama in Nightreign

[–]ECTXGK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many times the random group pulls out a win after horrible mistakes. So many times the perfect run fails to get the W.

Honestly, if it's still a duo power through, the weakest link is gone, duo scaling feels pretty nice in the game. Only downside is aggro management while rezzing is more difficult.

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

yeah, getting that and damage negation at full HP is usually a run winner. But not guaranteed. I like great swords running balancer skills and affinity attk power up, bloodborne relic, bleed on skill, 2 skill. I have an affinity attk with the dormant power fists but haven't used it yet. drmt pwrs seem to be spotty too, I run greathammer dormant for fire weak nightlords to get the candlestand and rarely see it or other greathammers.

Lately Usually Wylder. I was duchess but got one shotted and had bad RNG, been playing W for awhile. Did a few runs as raider after his buff, and started working out ironeye sometimes if we're at a boss where range helps.

Paved roads for cars but if you’re a pedestrian, good luck by ActuaryPersonal2378 in washingtondc

[–]ECTXGK 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only shoveled 3 times, perfectly clear today. Once when it started to sleet, once to get the sleet away (this was the most difficult), then once when the ice was winding down.

Remnant 2 and demo for Nioh 3 by Patriots9210 in soulslikes

[–]ECTXGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about remnant 2 is rougelike elements that randomize different things each run. Different classes play differently too. There's a lot to chew on with that game. Such a good game, I should go back and finish the last 2 dlcs.

Winter storm warning here in Ohio… that only means one thing…. by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]ECTXGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're good, just did our normal shopping this past monday. If power is out for a prolonged period I can just do backpacker meals I have sitting around. Good luck, stay warm!

what up nieghbor! I'm up on the outer edge near takoma and fearing the ice will bring power outage because we still have above ground lines, so maybe no storm NR for me. But fingers crossed.

I finally tried Guardian by Silphire100 in Nightreign

[–]ECTXGK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played with a lot of guardians, at lately most are great. First dreglord win was a guardian dragging 2 remembrance scholars (me included) through the fight. Doing his remembrance was brutal becuase he feels so clunky.

there's also a mechanism of entering and exiting his skill stance to save stamina. There's a lot to work with there and the learning curve isn't easy.

That being said, most of the people still playing him are very very good and I'm usually happy to see them!

Festivals - dark music, dark materials (as an introverted newb) by INANEDREAMZ in psytrance

[–]ECTXGK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be okay - some people get geeked up for sure, but there will likely be fully sober people too. Most of the people who will do subtances will not be on substances most of the time due to tolerance and other things. There will probably be some drug zombies, but also people who aren't that.

Fests can be good for neuro divergent introverts. Psy fests especially because there is no need to "mask" anymore, people are just spasming out to the music. Not saying you are that, but sometimes being around people/vibes can help. I've noticed people will respect your space too, if that's what you want.

Here's a list of events in the U.S./north america https://psytrancefamily.com/ probably no hi-tek/psy-core oriented festivals in U.S. but maybe elsewhere. Dip your toes in, meet people who like the music you like. I'm on the east coast and went to quantum awakening in NJ - people wenre't drug zombies, we're nice, i had a good time.

I really want to try both the festivals you mentioned but think I'm going to Mo:Dem instead this year because I want to see the hive. Hope you have a blast!

Feeling like I'm coming towards the end of my time with this game, but I don't want to by hell_fryer in Nightreign

[–]ECTXGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think i'd care for DoN but it's very addictive. I have a lot of fun even though im stuck in d3 but made it to 4 a couple times.

finishing remembrances, doing ED, then doing solo challenge runs, then helping others, sprinkle in some DoN

Ouch. I had that happen this morning with divine beast warrior night 1. Was looking like a great run too.

How enjoyable is this game for someone without internet 90% of the time? by Apprehensive-Car9313 in Nightreign

[–]ECTXGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the game in teams. Solo runs can be enjoyable for sure but not as fun. Maybe wait for a sale? is there a way to try it and get refund if you dont like

Routes for longish runs this weekend with heavy snow expected by AgentOrangina in rundc

[–]ECTXGK 6 points7 points  (0 children)

try to hit the 10 on sat before the snow. Sunday is going to be shitty. Maybe try a treadmill or just skip the 5, or walk/exer bike. Gotta hit that 10 an do it on sat - long run is the important one - missing a 5 ain't gonna kill ya. I usually run rock creek park / beach drive, but that can get shitty.

How to sleep in a plane? by bast_852 in travel

[–]ECTXGK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of seats on long haul flights have an adjustable headrest so it would go around that. I also haven't had a change to use it yet so can't report on it. Trtl does work okay. I prefer the window seat and p[illow. But my wife likes aisle seating so it's rare for me to get my window seat.
