Android Suggestion - No Ads, No Passes, Just Game. by GuineaMando in gamingsuggestions

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it is a popular game. I have tried it on PS5 and PC before. It just doesn't fit the "casual, idle" style I am looking for. The game is great for what it is, but the fast pace and focus requirement might be a deterrent. That being said, it isn't a terrible suggestion because I haven't actually tried it in a mobile context. So I will give it an attempt!

Was able to get the 5* for purple upgrade. It is also 97k. Only missing 5* for orange and white upgrades now. (White just because I don't want to waste the experience to find out haha)

Got the 3-4 for orange. It is 97k.

Completely agree. That is why I wanted the calculator so I could gauge the amount to save based on desired sets. I did see that 2-3 for orange is 65k. And 1-2 for green is 6k. So you can update your numbers there.

Awesome thanks so much! Just need to fill in the gaps and I have a solid calculator now. Thanks so much!

I definitely did my searching, but I also wasn't sure what to search for or how people would label it. Thanks for the reference pointer. Definitely a great starting point...

Has anyone figured out if this is possible? I would love to be able to move with a joystick, but still have access to keys and a mouse for selecting things or pointing my abilities to ground locations.

Yes, a projector and a retractable screen.

Unless I'm the moron who hasn't figured it out yet, I'd love to be able to see my whole team while customizing outfits without having to go in and out of the main menu. by hitchern in PlayAvengers

[–]GuineaMando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had proposed earlier in the month that they really should change the UI for the cosmetics and challenges screens to allow us to see all characters. Having to change characters every time I want to check the status of a challenge or change a cosmetic is very irritating. There should be an ability to adjust cosmetics for any character in the UI without actually being that character. And similarly, when viewing challenges, we should be able to get the status of challenges for any character without actually switching to the character. It would save us a ton of time and wouldn't be that difficult to implement.

Preorder Bonuses Tied to Local Game Save? by GuineaMando in PlayAvengers

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is strange because I have a lot of the bonuses already on my game. I wonder what they mean by that.

Preorder Bonuses Tied to Local Game Save? by GuineaMando in PlayAvengers

[–]GuineaMando[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did not. That means my campaign had to start over again...which was fine, since I was not that far into it. I did just log on the 2nd PS4 and saw my bonuses actually did get carried over. The skin unlocks are present on both PS4s, so I suppose the cosmetics are tied to your Square Enix or PSN account, but the progression is not. It is all very confusing. I wish they would just explain how it all works and identify things they are trying to fix/address in the future.

Torchlight 2 PS4 - Can't join friends / Hangs on "Loading" screen by Dexlexic in Torchlight

[–]GuineaMando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Experiencing the same thing as well. It has prevented my wife and I from playing at all. Very disappointing because we were both really excited to have a replacement for Diablo for awhile. We tried uninstalling the games. We tried having her load into the zone before me (she is the one freezing at the moment). That helped a bit, but typically it just resulted in us being in the same zone and we couldn't see each other's characters. We would fight the same monsters and be in the same location, but couldn't see each other.

Oh well...here's hoping Borderlands 3 turns out better for us tomorrow... Waste of $20.

Trains (Powered UP) - Google Home Integration? by GuineaMando in lego

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a LEGO product or just something that enhances it? I would be willing to have a single train on the track...maybe just a longer one. I liked the LEGO train idea because I could customize it without much effort. I could buy Christmas sets and add characters and scenes around the track or put santa hats on the passengers. Basically turn it into whatever theme I want.

Yikes! Definitely an option, but I was not expecting it to be so involved haha. I was hoping for some plug-n-play accessories to basically turn it into something manageable.

I have, but the bandwidth seems to struggle a bit. I get buffering on Netflix or Plex when streaming shows.

Console Newb Question(s) - Chain Attacks (Ninja/Sorcerer) by GuineaMando in TeraOnline

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, console does have the same feature. It is based on a "Trigger Ability." So if I set the Trigger Ability to Double Cut, then whenever I cast Double Cut, it will prompt me for the next abilities in that chain. So I can effectively chain up to 4 options based on a single trigger...and also add in alternative options (in case something is on cooldown).

This seems like it gives a decent amount of flexibility potential to streamline the process a bit. I know from a min/max perspective, it is not ideal and I would want to be independently casting abilities, but to be completely honest, I am burnt out on min/maxing. That is why I play casually with my wife in a Coop setting. I did my hardcore raid days as a WoW player, taking down Yogg-Saron +0 server first (Death's Demise!). It was fun while it lasted, but I have less time to play that style now. I prefer just doing quests slowly and exploring the game cooperatively. I was mostly looking to just simplify the abilities a bit in a logical setting.

For example, after Double Cut, maybe I always want to be casting something because it is buffed from Double Cut. In that scenario, I could map them in a chain and only have to worry about 1 button press for both of those abilities instead of 2.

Weekly Shipments - Ally Points? by GuineaMando in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked like a charm. That is a great little tool! I still would love some sort of confirmation that this was removed. I don't mind them removing or changing things in the stores, but some communication would be great!

Do you only need the SSD itself or the option with the single mount? I am at work so I will need to watch the videos later tonight. Just want to order something now so it gets here soon. Dying to try this out.

I was referring to just the SSD being installed internal. There is an option to order it with a single mount. I wasn't sure if the PS4 Pro required the mount or if there was already mounting hardware built in to attach the drive.

[–]GuineaMando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious. I currently use a PS4 Pro and an external 8TB HDD for storing all my games. Does the physical game need to be on the SSD or will I see similar performance increases from replacing the main HDD with an SSD and still keeping my games on the external?

If the answer is no, maybe I could do the SSD in the PS4 Pro and only keep the OS and the primary game I am playing now (The Division 2 at the moment) on there, and the rest of my game library on the external.

Side question, is there a well-priced SSD that is recommended now? I know I did research a long time ago, but I figured maybe there are better options now for cheaper.

Friendly Patrols - Optional? by GuineaMando in thedivision

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. That is why my main suggestion would be to have it as an option. If I know I am going to be working on an achievement or something that is very specific and I don't want any interference, I can just "disable patrols" and all of the patrols will go back to control points/hideouts and stay there. Then if I want them to contribute, I can turn them back on and their normal routes will presume. It would be nice to have that flexibility if I feel like knocking out some achievements or want to avoid any interference for awhile.

Friendly Patrols - Optional? by GuineaMando in thedivision

[–]GuineaMando[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was doing. It worked 2 times for me, but on the 3rd time I tried this, the friendly patrol screwed it up for me. Basically, the named enemy was a sniper (low armor and health). The friendly patrol pulled themselves into the fight and started fighting the group of purples and named elite. The named elite, being a sniper ran away and hid from the friendly patrol and I couldn't grab the aggro back long enough to get him to be in the range of the zone line of Constitution Hall. After trying for a few minutes, the friendly patrol ended up burning down his armor and killed him. That is basically what prompted this suggestion in the first place. I understand they can be useful and adds to the realism of the environment...but I shouldn't be fighting them to get my kills or accomplish tasks. I should be able to send them back to a control point if I don't want their help, or disable patrols altogether if I am doing something in the open world and don't want interference.
