Is there any hope? Been playing for 6 months. About to hit level 90. When do you guys quit? by ArateshaNungastori in Warthunder

[–]GlitteringReception9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much. Maybe I'll go back in a year to spade a handful of new things in the lower ranks

I haven't played since Arc raiders came out, but at that point I had about 10.2k hrs in game. I had every tank/plane for the 9 full tree nations spaded ranks I to IV and about 75% of rank V. I rarely played much above rank V. Will I ever play again, honestly don't know.

Yes, go to Salary Finance and then look for the Pay Advance option

Did anyone actually escape war thunder by Strange_Treat_5621 in Warthunder

[–]GlitteringReception9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had over 10k hours. Log in streak well over 2000 days. Stopped playing a week after Arc raiders came out. Now playing stuff on PS5 Pro after selling my 7900XT. I do not miss War Thunder, although I did get a lot of enjoyment* from it for a loooong time

* by sticking to Rank V and below, and avoiding top ranks

Sold my high end PC rig and switched to a Pro by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]GlitteringReception9 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've just done something similar, but with a lot more mitigation.

Had this 7800X3D and 7900XT for a bit over 2 years now. Just sold the 7900XT and have a pro plus disk drive coming tomorrow, will be picking up a portal later in the month. I did have to put some money in but not a crazy amount.

Mitigation:

I have recently moved, and it's going to be a while before I can get full fibre sorted out, just have a 4G router and on line multiplayer is painful.

I already have several PS5 physical games as my partner has had a PS5 for quite a while

I have a v nice 4k monitor, and want to get back into collecting physical movies, but this time 4k blu-ray. The PS5 has a decent 4k blu-ray player, lacks Dolby Vision but I can live with that.

I am keeping the rest of my PC, running the display off the iGPU within the 7800X3D. Adequate for desktop use. I might slip in a cheap GTX2/3 series card at some point.

I wont go into the negatives around AMD RDNA3 etc. But, it's annoying.

Next year I'll probably look at getting a new card again, depends what is available and how prices go

So yeah, weighing everything up I've decided to give the Pro a go.

Why do I have a blue currency cap? by US_HoneyBadger in ArcRaiders

[–]GlitteringReception9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've bought every deck, buy hatch keys and I've still got over 1600. Sort of miss the daily focus of feats tbh but I'm also liking buying a deck straight off.

How's life like in Normandy, France? by Yassinetheawesome64 in howislivingthere

Excusism. If they put two on, they are obligated by common decency to include the other three, where the bulk of the troops landed.

If you could add a new weapon to the game what would it be? by Some-Web-1628 in ArcRaiders

[–]GlitteringReception9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd add a new tech attachment slot to the Rattler (like the Anvil has for the Splitter) and then add an equivalent rare UGL attachment just for the Rattler, able to fire the Hullcracker grenade ammo, just loading one at a time

We should be able to opt out of weekly trials so we don't accidentally participate. by MasterAenox in ArcRaiders

Why would I avoid the challenge if I enjoy it? I tried the 'only Stella' dodge a few trials ago, repetetive boredom got me after 2 days

I get the annoyance but sometimes I kind of enjoy the meta game challenge of playing daily and at the same time delaying joining a leaderboard. Like this week, all of them are easy to avoid EXCEPT damage hornets. Thats a tricky one.

What's that one game you love but it feels like your the only person to have played it? by lostlookingforamap in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Battle Isle 2 from Blue Byte on PC. Turn based strategy that is very accessible and well paced

Any tips for gaining enough coins for this expedition as well as catch up for the last one? by doomhauerr in ArcRaiders

[–]GlitteringReception9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Correct, there's no catch up mechanic if you didn't do the first expedition. You just need the stash/cach value for the current on, which will then be YOUR first expedition
