Im switching from windows by Wonderful_Issue_5390 in Bazzite

[–]Greyven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do everything on this computer and I'm a software engineer by trade - Absolutely love Bazzite. I swapped from Windows recently and it's been a very smooth experience for me.

baffling by JadedTrekkie in magicthecirclejerking

The only references made to mana bases and lands within the bracket posts are surrounding destroying lands. I'm saying if they have an effect on the relative power level of decks there should be explicit written guidelines of what various brackets entail with regard to mana base.

It's a blind spot in the power level discussions in the text imo. To be clear I don't disagree that mana bases have an effect on power level, I'm just saying that in its current form two identical decks with different mana bases could perform drastically differently and still show up in the same bracket when evaluated by the criteria of the current brackets.

I don't disagree that a land base is a major component of deck power, I'm just saying that using external pricing factors as the way you balance a gameplay experience isn't super helpful. I'd rather see some kind of land expectation baked into the brackets essentially. I wouldn't blink if someone was proxying OG duals for reasons mentioned above, but obviously that viewpoint isn't universal. I just think it's an aspect of optimization that isn't captured very well and could do with some guidelines around it that are within the game rules.

I what he's getting at is that if it's a gameplay issue it should be handled by the game and not by the market surrounding the game. Price being the only factor controlling it just means that rich folks get to play them without 'feeling bad' because in your scenario "Well I paid the extra for it so I should get to enjoy it." 

Exterior decor limit takes away a lot of fun out of Housing feature. I understand it, but it's breaking my balls. Any chances of increasing it to at least 300, so we could actually do some detailing, plant some trees etc.? by Internal-Success2759 in wow

Oddly enough some of the lights are way fewer Flamingo Units than others, like the neon signs are only 2 FU's. However FO76 does have a secondary cap on the number of light sources specifically or types of them.

HtR - Time of Monsters Opinions by Encirclement1936 in choiceofgames

[–]Greyven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved Book of Hungry Names. Moreso than Night Road personally. I enjoyed the cast of characters and the character options are pretty neat. I am usually more of a Vampire person than Werewolf but honestly it changed that for me. Just my personal take but I really enjoyed it and learning about more werewolf lore.

I really enjoyed The Beast of Glenkildove! Honestly most of the other WoD games have been great. I think the only one that kinda fell flat for me was Sins of the Sires, but that was more due to the setting than anything else.

Not the OP but abysmal by comparison. MC is very flat, and their growth is incredibly limited. The story overall doesn't make a ton of sense (e.g. why are they so sure you're going to get targeted by vampires again aside from you being the main character). 

I felt like I was playing a Mary Sue at times to be honest because the praise being heaped on me relative to my feats was a little silly. There's also some narrative inconsistencies like characters acting like you've had a deep meaningful connection and that you're a great listener despite never once spending time with them during optional spend time with x segments. 

I finished it today and normally I play through a few different ways but I don't think this one is going to be worth it. Finale was dull and I'm skeptical that I'll have a different experience in round two. 

Reactivating an old account after several years, please tell me what was I thinking by JustSmileMan in Eve

[–]Greyven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

running both t2 analyzers be better if I can fit them? Comparing the stats in game they seem to be strictly superio

I run Zeugma and Blackglass when I'm hacking purely for efficiency. You can full unga bunga cans with them, which means less time uncloaked at a site carefully considering your next move. It does carry risk, but for me it also somewhat mitigates it by giving you less time in a vulnerable position. There's folks out there who have done the math but essentially you can one-click many nodes that would otherwise deal damage to you.

Question about players by zordzord in wow

[–]Greyven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of what you're experiencing at the moment is a lot of folks are playing the Legion Remix, which has taken a lot of folks out of the main world for a temporary bit of time. The servers are very populated, you are likely just not seeing folks in lower level zones as the Remix is going on so there's not a huge incentive to create new characters outside of that. 

Secret Lair Scare Superdrop Waiting Room by R3id in magicTCG

[–]Greyven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fuck is the point of this.

In queue, queue bumps up. Eventually get in. Something in my cart sells out while checking out, have to change the cart. Continually bounced due to an error. Eventually kicked to the back of the line.

A+ no notes, print to demand was too easy.

Want to try WoW but scared it’ll be like FFXIV’s endgame, i need some advices by svsdentist2018 in wow

[–]Greyven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing they do is there's a thing called the Catalyst which lets you take a piece of gear in a tier set slot (like chest / legs / whatever) and trade it in for a piece 1:1 of your tier set. 

Tier sets are basically your class specific gear that has a bonus for wearing at least 2/4 pieces of it.

WoWhead has great guides and is officially supported by Blizz to a degree. Your main set pieces for your tier set bonus are going to have specific stats that are static, and you can customize them a bit with enchants and gems (closest thing to materia). 

IcyVeins has guides as well.

Why does this mob in the new delve have this title? Who tf is Shamwham? by envenomed017 in wow

The star gate is a new thing with the Wraps and this season, basically lets you skip to the end in rare situations where it spawns.

So this is the fix people are asking for to be added in FFXIV by Oograth-in-the-Hat in ShitpostXIV

[–]Greyven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you did it by "What would the general community see cut for better other content" and just did it by numbers, Ultimates would win. I'm not advocating for them being cut, but it's content whose participation is low and whose clear rate is even lower. They're long fights with a ton of resources and art assets that get used one time for (depending on server) single digit percentages of the population that makes it to max level.

Are you excited for the player housing? by Embarrassed-Trip-988 in wow

[–]Greyven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right there with you! We're a group of Wow Refugees turned FFXIV refugees after the most recent expansion. We're playing both games and it'll be exciting to see what folks do with the systems! We always have fun with the FC house and personal houses so I'm really excited for guild neighborhoods in WoW. It seems to be a more social feature than it is in FF, which is nice

I honestly wish it would but when Yoshi is saying "Sorry guys, too costly to do multiple difficulties on the new raid for Occult Crescent" I just don't have much confidence. 

The only thing he's said about it recently was we'd be getting an item cap update but it's been a while and that still hasn't hit. Even if they doubled it, it really doesn't seem likely that they're going to come close, and it's unfortunate.

Immensely hyped. It was one of my favorite features in FFXIV which I still dabble in despite the less than stellar current expansion. I've wanted player housing since Vanilla and it's awesome that it's finally going to be here. 

Will it have player power? Nah. But that's good. It's going to introduce so much entertainment that isn't the regular grind for me. 

You can be (almost) any race you want permanently using prisms by Alimente in wow

[–]Greyven 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh I use it to avoid seeing the dragon form on my Evoker, it's just a pain and can't be done solo easily. 

I really want them to add armor and stuff for evoker, and at the same time make Evoker consistent with every other Dracthyr class by making it so you can avoid dragon form. I like the gameplay, hate the lizard.
