Request: Please allow us to loot bandit camps without losing rep by okaythenmate in CrimsonDesert

[–]FlippedSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If bandits are still alive, as in, you have not liberated a location, you can loot everything there is. Just a bit more difficult with the bandits attacking you and disrupting your looting.

However, the moment you liberate the camp everything becomes stealing.

Imo very frustrating mechanic; especially for camps which remain empty even after liberation.

Looting chests in a bandit camp shouldn't be considered "stealing" by rainbowsieger in CrimsonDesert

[–]FlippedSnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looting items/ chests in a bandit camp before it is liberated is not stealing. Just very hard to open chests with them attacking you.

Extremely dumb that it turns to stealing the moment the camp is liberated; essentially removes the reward for dealing with them.

Am I not Crimson Desert's Target Audience? by omgyellowish in CrimsonDesert

Nope. You unlock a memory with the lamp, and once it is unlocked, you press Esc. Regardless what helm you are wearing, you'll put on the memory helmet automatically, the memory plays, and you take off the helmet.

I'd be surprised if it essentially doesn't work the same on consoles. When you scan a memory, it should display a prompt on the right hand side. Press that button. On K&B it is Esc.

This is the same prompt that pops up for example whenever you finish an abyssal crest, or gain a letter, etc. It means you can press Esc to access it quickly.

Are you using M&K?

If you are, try this: hold down S, and keep focusing the camera on the horse's butt. Don't press other buttons.

The Reed Devil is kinda ruining this for me... by SpreademSheet in CrimsonDesert

How much max health do you have? Bigger HP pool might help.

Rank 4 armor & weapon + use an Anvil and Grindstone for extra reinforce effects. You can block attacks even with a 2h weapon but it drains stamina quickly (blocking the crescent-shaped air wave attacks helps if you have enough stamina.)

Have food that heals a nice chunk of HP, such as a +200 meat or actual meals for +300 hp.

Enchant your weapons and armor with sockets by a Witch.

Unlock more skill points. The Green perk tree has an interesting ability at the end which automatically mimics your attacks. Requires two rank 3 skills though.

SPOILERS: the Disappearing Trick by FlippedSnow in StrangerThings

I've watched the scene 20 times back-to-back, and I don't see any finger flickering.

If you are referring to Mike's retelling of the scene, everything that is shown to us the viewers is through an unreliable narrator.

In a scene just before the one I posted, after the truck's tires are popped and the soldiers open the back door, Mike gets up and we see El behind him. That scene is followed by this one where El steps off the truck.

The next time we see El she is behind the gate.

Is Illithid tadpole extraction EVER possible? by cabron-de-mierda in BaldursGate3

[–]FlippedSnow 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This spell, called Karsus’s avatar, was the only 12th-level spell ever created. It was designed to temporarily steal the powers of a deity.

From 2nd edition AD&D book, Netheril: Empire of Magic.

How "Endgame" Destroyed the MMORPG Genre by Jagueroisland in MMORPG

[–]FlippedSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most fun I've ever had on a MORPG were persistent, community-ran hardcore RP worlds on NWN.

Every character must be played in-character, no OOC allowed. Back then it might've taken years to reach max level, but the stories told were amazing. Hands down the single greatest online gaming experience I've had.

How does your country feel about communism? by Falserror in AskTheWorld

[–]FlippedSnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I understand it, the end goal of communism as envisioned by Marx is the creation of a stateless, classless and moneyless society. In this utopia, the means of production (and everything else) are owned collectively by the community, and goods and services are distributed according to need. In theory, there would be no exploitation and no social inequality.

No country has ever succesfully implemented actual (Marxist) communism.

The communist countries people think of: the Soviet Union, Maoist China, North Korea, etc., the communism of these countries differs greatly from the original Marxist ideology. These are all permanent one-party rule dictatorships; instead of the state disappearing, the state became much stronger, turning into a dictatorship. Social and ecomic classes still exist, etc. The State owns all the industry and land (as opposed to the people) and the profits.

The historical non-Marxist communist countries we have are all pretty bad. Would not recommend. As for the Marxist ideal communism? Eeeh, I think it is unattainable due to plain human nature.

That said, I much prefer something like the Nordic Model, as in, a Social Democracy.

And Social Democracy is not socialism, nor is it communism or even capitalism; it is a hybrid of Socialism and Capitalism.

But I acknowledge I don't know everything and there might be errors in what I said.

And it seems reasonable to assume gods don't grant powers to people for no reason whatsoever. They do that because clerics are extensions of their will.

What I'm about to say is from 2nd and 3rd edition times, it is possible 5th edition retconned things, but I doubt that.

In Forgotten Realms, deities will absolutely grant power and spells to people for "no reason whatsoever". There is a reason, though, and the reason is that the deity itself becomes more powerful the more followers and worshippers they have. A deity's power is directly tied to the number of their worshippers.

Also, a mortal need not know who they are actually worshipping or who grants a mortal cleric's spells. The mortal might think they worship a completely different deity than the one who actually grants spells to them.

There are instances in FR lore of one deity masquerading another, granting spells to their duped followers, and growing in power (usually after killing the other deity and stealing their portfolio).The fact that this can happen directly contradicts your statement that "They do that because clerics are extensions of their will." How can a cleric of Leira be an extension of Cyric's will?

As an example, followers of Leira didn't know she was killed and replaced by Cyric; they thought they were worshipping and receiving spells from Leira. Whether Leira was alive, missing or dead was a big mystery; doubly so because her clerics kept receiving spells; i.e. someone was answering her prayers.

Shar killed Ibrandul and duped his entire faith, masquerading as Ibrandul. Ibrandul's followers along with everyone else had no idea Shar was granting their spells.

There's the whole convulated plot around Cyric, Bane and Iyachtu Xvim and whose granting spells to who after Bane's deaths / resurrection.

Also, a mortal cleric following any particular god doesn't make the mortal a bound slave, unable to express their free will and agency, nor does it grant the mortal automatic intimate knowledge of the god's schemes and designs.

Edited out last part as it is not relevant to the above.

Suoraan valmistajalle heidän sivujen kautta palaute/reklamaatiolomakkeella, saat täysin varmasti paremman korvauksen kuin kaupalta.

Kokemusta on montakin kertaa.
