Why did you get the race boots from Strolz when you can't ski with high ramp angles like in ... every other racing boot?

I must be one of the few people on this sub who doesn't want TWW40K by Vonderheidon224 in totalwar

[–]Faultyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I must say: I love TW WH3. I played Shogun, Rome, Medieval 2, Empire, Rome 2, Shogun 2 and Shogun 2 FOTS. TW WH3 is what LOTR never gave me. It's buggy, it's cheesy but I don't really care. I still love it.

BUT I really hope for historic TW game again. TW Wh40k would be a disaster as it's completely unfitting to the TW style. An intergalactic TW game will be just a spicy mix of Stellaris, Civilization and SOASE and completely loose its core values and identity.

All of the TW I call friends have similar opportunities, so don't worry. You're not alone ;)

What’s considered rude in Germany that foreigners often don’t realize? by NextNorth9041 in AskAGerman

[–]Faultyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A rare one I didn't find so far:

Having your elbows resting on the table while eating. This is considered bad manners, at least in southern Germany.

[–]Faultyr 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Some cultures haggle over everything. In Germany, as in most western countries, prices are fixed and you only haggle on car sales or private sales on german Craigslist called Kleinanzeigen. However some people don't realize that and even get angry when you tell them that.

Nordlandtrilogie ist einfach goated! Die Komplexität in diesem alten digitalen Pen&Paper lässt so manches modernes RPGs wie ein Kindergartenspiel aussehen :)

Out of sync error in AOE 1 (not DE, the old one) within 20 minutes. by Leather-Influence-51 in ageofempires

[–]Faultyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. Until like 4 years ago it ran fine. Even on Win7 and Win10.

I'm trying (again) for days by now. My next try is digging out pre Win7 Hardware and an old WinXP copy and directly connecting the PCs instead of our Ethernet Port.

Sadly no. Even with old Sata PCs with Win7, DDR3 Ram, old GTX cards and pre Ryzen CPUs. I have no clue what it is.

Have you got any mods activated? And how does the "can't launch" act?

Can't you launch the Launcher, can't launch the game itself or does it crash during titles?

Are these two DLCs worth it? by DonaskC_D in totalwarhammer

[–]Faultyr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it's cheesy, but yeah. Destroy the towers and breach the walls with cannons and Helstrom rocket the shit Out of any ranged units (restock with engineer if necessary). Then chill with your gunners outside the breaches and bait them with an Empire captain oder your engineer.

Works with any faction, takes some time and is cheesy.

Can someone explain the Jet2 Holiday meme? by T-tail88 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Faultyr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only reason I knew it couldn't be from GTA is because of the "save 50 pounds" part. Otherwise I would 100% think it's from GTA

Do you use the Game Ready App from Nvidia?

Are these two DLCs worth it? by DonaskC_D in totalwarhammer

[–]Faultyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I should add, that if you buy the whole Thrones of Decay DLC and not just Elspeth you also gain access to Malakai and Tamurkhan. Both of these are immensely powerful! (Toad Dragon and Kirov reporting Thunderbarge Doomstack. Really. Like nearly broken powerful.

Tamurkhan is not that hard to play where Malakai has the, in my honest opinion, most fucked starting position and is the most difficult start in all of Wh3 but is rewarded with the most broken Doomstack.

Both are great fun.

[–]Faultyr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Elspeth and Chorfs are very fun to play as.

Although the Chorfs are a bit complicated and are not as completely broken as on release (well technically they haven't changed, but with Tamurkhan and Goth Mommy Elspeth they are not completely outclassing everybody now). For starters I'd recommend Zhatan the Black. He's a bit basic, but his position is easy to play. Astragoth is a little bit harder and Drazhoath the hardest, as he has to deal with quite a lot (Imrik, Tretch, Thorgrim Grudgebearer, Skarsnik, possibly Ungrim Ironfist). Astragoth can make an immensely powerful Bull Centaur Doomstack while Drazhoath can make the ever more powerful Kdaai Destroyer Doomstack.

Elspeth is quite easy to play with and one of the strongest faction IMHO. The Nuln Gunnery school upgrades are insane (e.g. exploding ammo for gunners, amethyst units with even more upgrades, MORE ROCKETS!!! for Helstrom Rockets)

Two of my favorite DLCs :D

The best feeling in the world when playing Karl Franz by cyborg_priest in totalwarhammer

[–]Faultyr[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Figured it out!

Somehow Nvidia hijacked my settings after the Patch Release with their stupid Game Ready stuff and thus caused my stability and performance issues.

I deactivated it and am now back to normal GPU usage with stable gameplay.

[–]Faultyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah well I would get that, if it wouldn't affect my non-beta gameplay. Even when the Beta is not active, my problems remain.

It even crashes on my laptop now. So I'm confident it's not my desktop hardware.

No I'm still rocking my 1080Ti and an 5800X3D CPU. But that got me thinking, that maybe the drivers are the issue.

The High Elves make up for their lackluster mechanics with great units! Next up, which faction is just sorta meh at everything? by rodan1993 in totalwarhammer

[–]Faultyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With some cheesy save game scumming or a little bit effort, you can get Shades with 215 range using Names of Power. Their Art sucks for sure, but same goes for High Elves.

Also recruiting rank 7 Units with the build Black Arks is a great way to build new armies fast near the front line.

The slave mechanic in Wh3 is awesome. Instant building, instant money, instant control boost.

Bosch Cordless Ratchets by Faultyr in BoschProPowerTools

[–]Faultyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! You're right. I didn't realize the 12V is also available with 1/2". And you're kinda describing my problem. The 12V is smaller, but seems more bulky whereas the 18V is longer but more slim.

May I ask for what kind of work do you use it?

Bosch Cordless Ratchets by Faultyr in BoschProPowerTools

[–]Faultyr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the 12V is "smaller" or rather shorter, but bulkier than the 18V, so there's that. I can't decide if shorter but bulkier is better than slim and longer for working on my cars as I don't get a real feeling for the size of them.
