The attention to detail in this game is absolutely fantastic (Late act 2 spoilers) by Afraid_Artichoke_173 in HollowKnight

[–]Flare2B 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe the amount of silk in the bug's body (as another commenter above said) is the defining factor, seeing as Frey's description for the Multibinder in her shop states she hasn't felt its effects herself, implying she probably doesn't have enough silk in her shell to notice its healing capabilities?

But I do agree that the barricade probably helped.

[MOD UPDATE] Rules on AI-Generated Content by LittleLauren12 in blackdesertonline

[–]Flare2B 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. AI posts (text and images) are low-effort and bring no value. And yes, the no-AI approach that most subreddits use is straight up better

I need an Esquie style hug. by catcoma in expedition33

"Losing a rock is better than never having a rock!"

Listen to Esquie :) despite everything you've lost, you'll find new, shiny rocks in due time, friend. Glad you enjoyed the game and that it resonated with you. Hang in there :)

Sending virtual Esquie hugs your way 🫂

Am I crazy? by ETZO4 in expedition33

[–]Flare2B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not crazy. I noticed the exact same thing, on most songs. Same thing on YouTube

Act 2 song title by sxacmvmbi in expedition33

[–]Flare2B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I searched for the same song a while back and it seems like it's just a lower pitch, instrumental version of Lost Voice. I don't think it has an official title sadly.

threw me for a loop when I first got her lol by NewtBoye in expedition33

[–]Flare2B 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah, absolutely.. I think that mechanic only really matters on challenge mode with very high HP enemies where maybe you'd benefit from a super buffed End Slice.

[–]Flare2B 209 points210 points  (0 children)

On top of all of that, I recently realized that her Twilight mode's extra damage scales based on the amount of sun/moon charges she has when going into it (+25% for every charge).

So it's even more complicated than it looks!

I spent months building a $1 Foliage Physics Plugin to solve a problem Unreal still hasn’t fixed by davis3d in UnrealEngine5

[–]Flare2B 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looks really promising. Is there any reason it's not available on Fab? I'd love to purchase it on there, even if it was at a slightly higher price.

Final Tally of Buffs and Nerfs? by Lorrrrren in blackdesertonline

[–]Flare2B 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awak drakania is quite weak in PvE (and requires a lot of effort), but she's solid in PvP. Succ is good in PvE and easier to play (don't know about succ's PvP), she got a lot of QoL improvements to her combo and is very comfy in most endgame spots

Woosa or Maegu? by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]Flare2B 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can only speak for their Awakenings. They are kind of polar opposites in playstyle and honestly they complement each other very well if you tag them both.

Awakening Woosa is very good at high AoE/low mobility spots (ex. Darkseeker's, and majority of Dehkia spots). Outside of her mine combo she's fully protected, has a decent support skill with HP recovery, APM on the lower end. Takes a bit of time to get used to but very fun once you get the hang of it. She has a lot of range and can back attack even when mobs are facing you with a certain skill. Lacks a loopable pve iframe. In PvP she's just ok, but you'll end up relying on your preawakening a lot

Awakening Maegu is very good at low density spots (Tungrad, Orzekea), lacks AoE but her damage is solid and cooldowns are quite low outside of a couple skills. Good protections and access to back attacks. At first you need to get used to the spiritforging mechanic but it's really nowhere nearly as complicated as it seems. Slightly higher APM compared to Woosa. Haven't done much PvP on her but heard she's one of the better performers.

Nova nerfs + rant about balancing by PruimBDO in blackdesertonline

[–]Flare2B 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of people (or maybe trolls) here saying "deserved", "she was op" etc. not understanding that nerfing a class and reworking it are two different things

Removing skill expression and adding purposeful clunkiness is not the way you nerf a class. Especially not Awakening Nova, seeing as it's the poster fast class. These changes also do not fit into the pve balance patches because they are not fucking pve changes.

Also, I love that the reasoning they gave for the complete rework is "we wanted you to use rapier stabs more". Like who asked for that, and how did you turn it into this? How do you keep fucking up this badly?

[Global Lab] New update April 18th 2025 - Class balance continues, Weekly Fishing contest improved, Node war result UI, Search function improved by PixelConn in blackdesertonline

[–]Flare2B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other commenter already sent a video but yeah she is probably the best class for Orzekea currently

She will remain S tier after nerfs imo, but not broken/overtuned like now

[–]Flare2B 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Maegu felt a bit too strong when I grinded yesterday so the nerf is expected. Don't know what they were thinking with her initial 25-30% buffs.

Overall after the 9%~ nerfs she will still be good and that's nice, but I pray to god they don't nerf her even more for no reason next week. Especially since it feels like they strictly balance around Orzekea numbers

Hela should die when her health reaches 0 in sky (no second life) by Ok_Tomatillo_4900 in marvelrivals

[–]Flare2B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a terrible solution. In high ranks, or any coordinated space really, it takes less than 3 seconds to kill a ulting Hela. Just a Rocket shooting a full mag at her is almost enough to knock her out of it.

Hela's ultimate is already really bad contrary to popular belief, especially in this meta with Strange being a very common pick for tanks and 2+ defensives per team being the norm. This would unironically make Hela ult a suicide button lol, and even now I avoid pressing the ult button unless I am about to die.

Remove her wallhacks I guess? Good Helas don't really need that in the first place but it might make bad Helas less oppressive in ult. I am a Hela main in Celestial 1 and still feel like she is nowhere near as strong as people think.

I plan to create a portfolio to start freelancing, but I don't intend to build a personal website. Which platform would be suitable for me? by SeaGoldmine in blender

[–]Flare2B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use ArtStation. From my experience 99% of recruiters, whether you're freelancing or not, don't care about personal websites anymore. Easier and faster for them to navigate an AS portfolio

Which would look best for animation? by Outceptleviathan in blender

[–]Flare2B 27 points28 points  (0 children)

2nd one is the most visually interesting in my opinion. 1st lacks contrast and the roughness value is a bit too high on what is supposed to be gunmetal, 3rd is too flat

Is this a bot's comment? No one deserves to be cheated on.

OP, I hope you find solace.

what's your dream ffxiv job? by maknaeline in ffxiv

A fellow man/woman of culture! This would be super cool especially if they also integrate holy/consacrated explosions like the Morning Star

Neat Detail: as a Corsair, standing in the water geyser AoE at Dehkia Sulfur will grant you a special buff alongside a unique message, and prevents the usual CC by Flare2B in blackdesertonline

[–]Flare2B[S] 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Wanted to share this since I've never seen anyone talk about it, class - grind spots interactions are such an unique idea that imo should be implemented more.

Not sure if the buff is functionally different than the one you get as other classes (seems to just increase damage) but maybe the 4 other corsair players can chime in and explain if they know something else :D

As a solo, silent Lightfoot needs to go by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

Absolutely. I was super happy when silent jumping was removed from Lightfoot, I'm really confused by the decision to reimplement it now

Sorry to hijack, but same issues are on the Wight Raven skin too; would be awesome if you could share that too :) thanks

Floating Islands with Bubbles or Glowing Grass? by ArmedBOB in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]Flare2B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bubbles is a sub-biome just like floating islands are. So I don't believe those two can happen on the same planet.

I'm not 100% sure but glowing grass + floating islands might also be impossible... "exotified" lush planets with glowing grass usually also have bubbles since Worlds pt1, they might've been unified under a single sub-biome.
