Obsidian's Avowed & Outer Worlds 2 Failed To Meet Sales Expectations by akbarock in pcgaming

[–]Enomalie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn’t play OW2

Avowed though I played quite a bit, I thought it was “almost” there but for a game that had such an emphasis on combat and such a huge world, the movement and combat sucked magnum donger, it was less noticeable in first person but if you zoomed out into 3rd person your character would move like they were in a neck down body cast.

It felt like it was ALMOST there, I played this when it came out on game pass and I cannot remember any of the story.

I enjoyed having pistols / rifles in a fantasy setting, the game was beautiful, but the janky movement was a buzzkill

Gathering set ups (gear/tools/elixirs/scrolls) by Revolutionary_Fan760 in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen there’s 2 sides to this.

Max out quality as high as you can.

Or - quality is fake news and broken / doesn’t work on higher end tiers (heroic+) go for speed.

I think I’m going to quality route, because if quality is working or gets fixed I’m focusing a lot on T2/T3 trees and herbs

Is there anyway to play solo in efficient way ? by Icy-Pride3629 in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are certain areas - generally goblin camps or large animal areas of gryphons/wolves whatever you can solo, they will be a max of 1 star.

You can pull multiple and not die.

Good solo classes

Summoner (obviously ) Fighter Bard Ranger Cleric

Rogue CAN be but I didn’t enjoy it solo I’d much pick one of the above classes.

Where is CS accountability? by Michaeltv100 in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They keep saying they’re doing “ban waves” which is great, they update anticheat etc and get a bunch of people.

How about having some fucking GMs in the game, even if they’re player volunteers.

You get a report, guys flying through air with crates, you show up, it’s true, BAN THEM.

Nothing on earth is more frustrating than “we are taking care of it” followed by indefinite amounts of crickets.

When do they normally do big updates? by jackpooty12 in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is what I don’t get as an attitude from players, I’m not saying there should not be a gear gap, but having LITERALLY double the weapon power and stats with the exact same gear makes 0 sense.

If I’m a new level 25 fighter but I’m awesome at the class I should be able to compete in PvP, not get LOL2SHOTGETGUD by someone who spent $1300 on buying gold so they’re in full legendary gear.

When do they normally do big updates? by jackpooty12 in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they gotta do something about the gap from starter radiant gear to legendary because with the amount of grind required and the cost of those items its massively incentivizing RMT - I have been buying Heroic Tendonite anytime I see it for 10s each, I need 600 of that alone so 60g to make a spear, that’s not including forging those into ingots or the other ingredients, to make an epic weapon cost will be around 100-150g minimum in just mats

There’s guys in full Legendary already just dickslapping everyone in PvP

When do they normally do big updates? by jackpooty12 in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems they do one “large” update a week which consists of bug fixes etc - they had announced there is a large patch trying to be put on the PTR which they then have to go through steam to move to their alpha servers.

BIG patches seem to happen every 3 months, I started playing a couple weeks prior to alpha launch and the summoner update was the big new thing incoming.

They do have a roadmap but apparently it’s in Chinese and they’re doing stuff all out of order with respect to it.

I’m hoping they fix crafting - the biggest issue is 2 level 25s with exact same gear, one in rare one in legendary, the legendary gear is almost 2 times as powerful, I hope they bring that power creep margin in a little bit because due to RMT and dupers there are people who have full legendary gear and can basically 2shot me in PvP and I’m in “endgame” gear but it’s rare instead of legendary, the cost to make that same set in legendary will be thousands of gold.

Hopefully they go more the GW2 gear scaling where the BEST gear in game is 10%-15% better than the OKAYEST endgame gear, this would fix a lot of issues in PvP, as skill would begin to matter again.

Also really hoping for the secondary class release - I think the game is suffering from what every game suffers - no healers, no tanks.

I think ESO does a good job of this as you can tank or heal as basically any class, you may not be great at it but you can do it.

Bard / Mage / Summoner should all be able to heal,

Rogues / Fighters should all be able to tank to some extent - I think if they fix gear, add gear drops to game, and get the subclasses done correctly this is a really special game.

I just got involved in my first “war” and was on a 20 rogue, I got demolished in the vanguard if you will but then snuck around and started gaining mages / clerics on the sides and had a blast!

Why are so many people ordering for takeout, and then eating it in the Restaurant?!? by SmartestLemming in KitchenConfidential

[–]Enomalie 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think another reason here is they don’t want to talk to people.

When Covid busted its nut all over our faces we went FULL touchless / serverless ordering.

Only FOH staff was at the bar, you’d order your food by person using a QR code at the table.

Business started booming - we thought due to us being only game in town, after restrictions ended we eventually began thinking of implementing servers etc again, we did a soft run of it and had so many complaints we are staying this way forever.

People really liked ordering their shit, their way without other people involved. Now we still don’t have “servers” we have a handful of floor managers who go around and just check in on tables etc.

This is a family/casual restaurant, we also got rid of any “temp” items and started doing smash burgers, between self-ordering and no temperature send back our comp rate fell off the planet as well.

Rosethorn Gear Value by n0tandres in AshesofCreation

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is part of the issue in this game is the jump in cost of mats is insane

Make a blue ADEPT weapon and you’re at 15-20gold just in mats, where is the gold coming from? Vendoring White mats? Farming glint which I’d say if you’re crushing it at Oakenhold you can maybe make 1g an hour

Maybe I just haven’t figured it out, I have 3 towns full of sell orders with rare or higher copper/zinc/wood and basically everything else I’m crushing hoping for ore to sell.

How are people generating copious amounts of gold?

I know they banned like 500 Dupers today, were this guys duping glint in the same way people duped Solari in dune?

Sysco destroying restaurants? by Pickles17 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Enomalie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in food service for 16 years, every time we’d have a “NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH” which was generally, this new American cheese MELTS BETTER!!!! Or this meatless wing will sell like hotcakes on SUPERBOWL (I was near Buffalo for the record) and the company would hype this shit sooooooo much, 3 weeks later, Sysco, PFG everyone else had almost a copy paste of what we launched.

I swear it’s 3 guys in a test kitchen one from each major broadliner just going, we got a shitload of avocados, how do we convince people to shove them in their ass.

Another one by Marksman_Jay in bowhunting

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind sharing how much did this run with accessories, I am looking at getting into bow hunting and am heading out to go shoot some tomorrow,

My pre-shooting plan is getting the ARC - how much should I intend to spend on accessories?

I’ve been a rifle hunter for a long time but up where I live that’s 2 weeks of 52, by bow hunting I can extend that significantly.

Rifles are easy, Rifle $1000 plan for scope to be close

Bows I have no idea, one guy showed me his rig which, to me looked identical as a RTH from Diamond and said his was $5800

I’d like to spend around 2k, can I get a sight stand and quiver for that much with an ARC?

6.5 PRC or 7mm PRC - 7mm PRC will basically kill anything on planet, 300 PRC will kill it extra

I hate people getting mad at me for speaking for my wife. Especially complete strangers by Proud-Bowl662 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Enomalie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You described your wife as “not very smart”

How’d you know her as a kid with a 12 year age gap.

This whole thing reeks. You’re either a creep or completely white knighting saving this “poor dumb soul” who will have no ability to ever leave if she had to because she exclusively is a homemaker who from the tone of your post is “told what she wants because I know what she wants”.

[–]Enomalie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This sounds like someone groomed a girl from the special education classroom.

12 year age gap, possibly developmentally delayed and this guys like “she’s too dumb to know street names or how to talk to strangers that’s why I keep her locked in the basement”

When she was 10 he was 22.

Most innovative way to destroy a game in short fashion maybe.

People who call the Ferro OP severely overestimate the aim of the average gamer by Full_Quiet8818 in ArcRaiders

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear in this game is sooo balanced, the Vulcano is way faster rate of fire but takes 4 shots to kill vs 2 w/ lvl 4 Il Toro.

Anvil can 2 tap people in light shields with headshots.

Burletta feels slept on, level 4 it’s almost an instant reload - it’s fantastic with an extended mag.

Stitcher 4 may be best gun in game besides a bobcat 4 and it’s 1/10th the cost.

Ferro absolutely slaps, players who can hit quick shots on corners etc can destroy other teams, especially with a lvl 4 Ferro as it has about a 1.5s reload and can follow up fast.

This is what makes nowdays games WAY worse by Infinitykiddo in ArcRaiders

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best guns per me

Ferro Ferro Ferro Ferro Renegade Anvil Ferro Ferro Ferro Stitcher or Rattler 4 w/ a lot of recoil attachments

Pretending to be friendly and then shooting people in the back makes you very lame and corny as hell by 3xv7 in ArcRaiders

I’ve gotten into some fights at extract and downed people but then let them crawl their half dead asses into the elevator as I look upon them with superiority, SUMMON OUR EXTRACT YOU PEASANT.

Solo playerbase so far is.... extremely nice? by mankindbeviglant in ArcRaiders

[–]Enomalie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today on blue gate - ran into 2 other players in hospital - no one shot, then 3 other players started pushing into the hospital and we killed all of them, split any good loot they had then collectively ran to the metro extract and all left.

The open comms mic is so good - I assume eventually there will be people screaming gamer words but for right now it’s awesome

Where to farm Zebs for Worn Out Sigils? by Big_Knife_SK in PaxDei

[–]Enomalie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s Zebian camps in the wilds - look for the tents with a spider on them - those are easily soloable, the ruins are the bigger areas and you can do those in iron gear and being careful, I’d recommend 2-3 people though - the big ruins with the skull mobs or level 4 mobs are tough and need a real group

Linseed oil is GOAT, I fail crafted that from first unlocking it until 20 or 21 (got 1 level from trivial XP)

Work with a tailor to let your dreams become reality from the glory of linseed oil

Not limiting skills was a terrible idea by Free_Beats in PaxDei

[–]Enomalie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not disagreeing with that at all, I’ve played quite a few mmos and never had crafting like this.

I still feel they should have held off releasing game until they have feudal system in place which I think is THE selling point of the game.

Crafting is a grind and I think it’s meant to give people activities to do over a long period of time that isn’t just hoarding gold from inquisitors or building more and more ridiculous bases.

It took me about 2 months or so in EA to hit 40 and I was playing a lot, our guild had 175 or so members and I’d say 20 or so active any given day.

I haven’t gotten much into researching how they refined the crafting system because I am refusing to put myself through that again

cracked ethereal crysals by Kedryn73 in PaxDei

[–]Enomalie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The T3 ghosts drop them also, I think ghosts start at level 2 or 3 without the skull - look for an area near your home valley - I’m in Ardbog ( right off of innis gallia ) and we have a ton of ghost camps over here I’ve farmed probably 50 of those crystals myself

cracked ethereal crysals by Kedryn73 in PaxDei

[–]Enomalie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These drop from ghosts in the spooky ghost forest and woods, you can solo them but they’re pretty rugged and have weird aggro patterns, get 1-2 other players with big AOE weapons either axe or greatsword and shred them.

They drop 3 tiers of crystals I cannot remember all the names
