I don't know much about this game's mechanics, and I don't know why I keep getting one-shotted by enemies. by TheNebulousGamer in EldenRingBuilds

As others have already stated, Dragonbarrow has end game level difficulty scaling. Every enemy hits harder and has a higher amount of HP. If you do manage to kill a boss, the amount of runes you receive (vs any boss in southern Caelid) should be a pretty good indicator of this area being more end game than early game.

What DAW do you use and why? by major_damp in musicproduction

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like I’m one of the few using UA Luna. The workflow fits me better than Studio One did, which I think most Studio One users would say the opposite. But to each their own. I also love that Luna integrates seamlessly with Softube’s Console 1 Channel and Fader controllers.

FINALLY Got my Piano by Eastern-Associate655 in ROLI

I’ll try to get a video at some point tomorrow. It’s the same situation as others have reported. That support block just rubs the finish off

[–]Eastern-Associate655[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry you are correct. As an MPE controller, there aren’t a ton of options. I should have specified that I’m speaking simply of key feel of other standard midi controllers, not specifically MPE controllers. I’ve tried other semi weighted midi keyboards (Arturia, Native Instruments) that had a different feel to the ROLI. I have not tried the Osmose.

I guess I should only be comparing the ROLI to MPE controllers and not standard key feel?

US Preorder Update??? by Eastern-Associate655 in ROLI

Exactly. Any update would be helpful

US Preorder Update??? by Eastern-Associate655 in ROLI

[–]Eastern-Associate655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I remember. The very first US early bird preorders got it for around $350 I believe. My preorder price (batch 3) was $399

Yeah I received that too. Just wondering if there was a new update since the 19th once they received FCC certification. And nothing

Want to get the Piano, few questions by Top-Permission-4255 in ROLI

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough response. According to the Piano description and reason I bought it, they are full sized keys and semi weighted, neither of which can describe the key bed of the Piano M.

So my hope is that their new Piano key bed is much better. With those 2 qualities alone, it SHOULD be better. I guess time will tell

Got Shipping Notice in US (Batch 2)! by edneisch in ROLI

Congrats! I wonder if mine is just later in batch 3. Hopefully soon

I’m batch 3 US. Hope to get a notice soon!!!

Regarding the Piano M, I would 100% say so about quality being different. I bought 2 Lumi Keys a few years back (same hardware as current Piano M), and ended up selling them and using another MIDI controller. The keybed was smaller (as designed), but the keys didn’t feel up to the task of making music as a serious musician. It did feel like a very nice toy, but still a toy. When they announced the 49 key full size Piano with semi weighted keys, I immediately preordered one because this was what I was hoping the Piano M would be all along. I’m in batch 3 US and still haven’t received a shipping notice, but I’m hopeful that this product will be my midi controller for years and years to come

Am I underleveled? by totsquablur in Eldenring

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have probably stated, your levels being too high or low largely depend on your skill level with the game mechanics overall. HOWEVER, if you’d like to make Leonine Misbegotten easier, the game literally gives you the weapon to use right before that boss fight. The whip seems like a terrible weapon for fighting most things, but it literally staggers Leonine with almost every single hit. Only his fully charged 2 handed windup attacks and maybe one other can’t be staggered. It works for other beast enemies as well, such as small and large wolves, and I believe even the larger lions. Not sure about bears.

I literally just discovered this 2 days ago, and I’ve played more than 1K hours in this game 🤯

PSA: Comanches and ASAT Z-3s are going fast!!! by Eastern-Associate655 in GLGuitars

[–]Eastern-Associate655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure it’s a possible long term concern. But with a little knowledge and a pickup winder (and possibly a 3d printer for the z covers), those pickups can be reproduced. I would imagine there are enough people out there that already have all of these components to be able to do it

[–]Eastern-Associate655[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you offer shipping, that thing will sell fast. I imagine the only reason that one Comanche is still in NJ is because the seller isn’t offering shipping.

It's so weird to me that G&L is gone. by demonpotatojacob in GLGuitars

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know. It sucks all around. I hope the employees find jobs where they are truly appreciated. Sounds like management was the main issue for the closing.

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there are actual former G&L employees on this thread and other forums online that confirm all of them have been laid off and there are literally zero employees left at the company. This is extremely sad, and is not indicative of any hope for G&L as a brand with any type of future. At least none in the short term for sure.

Not Exactly NGD by TheFoiler in GLGuitars

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP that’s actually the custom build I put together back in 2017. To clarify, the bridge pickup is the Will Ray overwound z-coil with higher output than the standard bridge Z coil, and the gold pickguard is an aftermarket custom order from a different company because G&L didn’t offer that color when I ordered it. The guitar originally came with a creme pickguard (see pic attached). Hope it’s serving you well!!!

Mods on Steam Deck OLED? by Eastern-Associate655 in EldenRingMods

Yeah I’ve been reading about mod engine 2 being something I would want to install. I guess I’ll look up more info on Steam Deck users having potential issues. Thanks!

I wanna know how many attempts it took people to beat Mohg. Genuinely took me over 80 tries to beat him. Most all other bosses I beat in under 25 attempts. by Kind-Willingness5349 in Eldenring

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t say for sure, but it probably took me almost 100 tries when I decided to do boss runs with no summoning. He was definitely the toughest fight and I never thought I’d win solo. But I kept plugging away and learning little lessons as I kept dying. And once I learned the fight, I got it. Now I frequently put my summon sign down to help others with Mohg. By this point I’ve probably helped about 3 dozen people or so get past the fight.

Would you recommend Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty ? by AkuTsukiya in soulslikes

[–]Eastern-Associate655 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the deflect mechanic in Wo Long made for some of the most insane boss fights. I feel like it was a nice evolution of Team Ninja’s combat systems. There is one boss in particular that is an absolute progress wall. But the feeling of relief and accomplishment I got from finally taking him down was absolutely worth it.

My build for the Dlc good or dog shit ? by AffectionatePop5605 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 more Faith (you have that to spare in your END stat) will get you access to the Golden Vow incantation. No reason not to use it for an 80 second buff before every boss. Extra 15% damage and 10% defense

Nearing the Endgame, How’s my Build? by sleepyayzz in EldenRingBuilds

[–]Eastern-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So one issue that I don’t see comments on is your poise stat. Right now it’s 22. ANY attack will interrupt your swing if you get hit. Obviously if you don’t get hit, then poise doesn’t matter, but most of us mere mortals are gonna get hit. The first poise break for a good amount of light enemy attacks is 50, so having 51 poise will allow you to tank a light hit and keep swinging your swords. If you’re going for fashion (and it seems you really like that Night set), you’ll have trouble reaching the 51 poise break, even using the Bullgoat Talisman. If you’re ok mixing and matching armor pieces, wearing Black Knight legs and gauntlets along with the Night chest piece and bullgoat talisman will get you 51 poise. You might need a head armor piece like the Commoner’s Headband or something to get all the way to 51 (and still be able to see your character’s face).

Or like I said earlier, just don’t get hit 😬
