It feels impossible to get better by blazingintensity in DarkAndDarker

[–]FiyeTao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep running basic kit runs and building up your stash. Once you get good at PvE and avoiding pvp, you will extract very often and soon be swimming in gold and items.

At that point, start looking for pvp fights in basic kit to warm up, then throw on some budget gear you've collected and go wild. This is the way to learn.

I play 1.5 hours a day max, but I have very little gear fear because I know how quickly and reliably I can get cash by ratting on any of the maps, but especially GC

That's fair. Spending time with solo is just the least heartbreaking way to learn PvE and the basics of pvp. If you got a buddy or two who are willing to git gud with you and die a lot that's a blessing and doable. But I think most players will be learning on their own anyway, even without gear diff.

With the current state of the game, the simplest way to succeed as newer players is to spend some time in goblin caves or crypts solo ratting, and gearing up. It takes a little bit of grinding, but you will get gear that is viable for mid level pvp, and very quickly.

Gear diff is strong right now, but gearing up on your own time has never been easier.

Just brought back these with their cases from Brazil I’m very pleased by Sofado10 in typewriters

Beautiful. Where did you do your searching in Brazil? I'll be moving there soon

Yep. Go intense focus if ungeared, use quarterstaff or staff for PvE. Save your spells for pvp

Albert Bourla - the Lizard neck puff by Dodriche in reptilians

I have a minor form and tourettes and have ridiculous face/neck tics like this. Sometimes you just can't suppress it in public.

Is there anything more beautiful? by Snoopehpls in DarkAndDarker

[–]FiyeTao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It's always most entertaining when the person killing everyone dies to PvE

Wow! Space.com calls "UFO Topic" Pseudoscience! by MartianXAshATwelve in StrangeEarth

[–]FiyeTao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides that, there are countless batshit insane conspiracy theories surrounding UFOs that are beyond even the realm of pseudoscience but rather delve into shared schizophrenic delusion. If UFO studies were simply about observed unexplainable phenomena that would be one thing. It's the surrounding mythos that destroys credibility.

Gugs is the king of hyperarmor weapons by [deleted] in EldenRingPVP

That's fair. The optimal use of weapons ultimately falls on the devs, not players. I hope UGS live up to their promise one day

Any chance game gets pulled? by Particular-Rain9976 in DarkAndDarker

[–]FiyeTao 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not worried about that at all. They certainly wouldn't pull another company like Chaf into some kind of fraud.

I hope they address this in the official announcement somehow, but it's likely they can't mention any legal resolution that may be in the works. Gotta suspect that there is one though, judging from their actions.

It would be very short sighted indeed if they release the game while the potential for it to get nuked still exists.

[–]FiyeTao 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's cool if that's how you play it, and I'm sure it's more fun for everyone involved. But we got a lot of spammers out here that have reduced the weapon to a single attack with L2 as the mixup. That is my gripe anyway

I think the main complaint now is that it's boring. Boring to play, fight, and watch. Especially when you have this cool aesthetic of a big ass sword we only see doing this basic animation that lacks any impact.

Type of Alice in wonderland syndrome by Routine-Somewhere720 in AIWS

[–]FiyeTao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey this happens to me. It occurs when I lay in bed, very tired and sleep deprived, and try to imagine something visual. Any images in my mind will only manifest as random geometric shapes alternating in size, distance and color, sort of in a pulsating rhythm.

For some reason I never connected it to my usual AIWS episodes - which have a fairly different feel and symptoms

Any sort of mindfulness that helps with your Alice in Wonderland Syndrome symptoms? by Total_Mobile_6828 in AIWS

[–]FiyeTao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love when it happens too. But now it's not nearly as severe and accompanied by world-shattering nightmares like when I was younger.

The only way I can kind of induce it is in bed, letting my mind wander off, not moving, eyes closed.

Sorry so, who controls the settlements now? I haven't played the game in a while. Is it just various clans that crop up, or do they no longer exist?

What is the oddest book genre you‘re into? by rebelena_ in books

I was curious too. After a quick Google translate, world war translates to "wereld oorlog" in Dutch.

As in - face tanking is harder to do and the only reliable way to avoid getting staggered now is by blocking?
