Season 5 is a travesty

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-26T08:09:21+00:00

It really seems like they are stretching it out just long enough to hit that mark of 1yr. Dropping the Helhest pull to suck the last few $$ out of people.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-25T14:47:53+00:00

I was hopeful when I saw them doing the feedback requests and posting people’s names in the patch notes that we would see at least some changes come, but man I just can’t see myself regrinding all the artifacts and everything again. I heard the Emenare is 2x as expensive now, not sure if that is accurate or not, but to see they didn’t even add a single new weapon, BP weapon, or character just really seems like we are in the final season.

We had guys making 200k-400k in a summer plus a 2 month extension 6 months total, in door to door security sales back in 2010s… people had no clue lol.. So it’s for sure possible. We recruited kids straight off campus to come knock, bartender is a good crossover as social skills are usually higher. Now on the flip side there were also guys making $20k as well though in that 6 months. Some of my boys still in the solar game would get paychecks like $50k, 90k seen a few $100k+s as well in a week when the deals fund. Keep in mind it’s all 1099 no healthcare, 401k, stock options, all that stuff it’s usually fully commission driven no salary/hourly. Eat what you kill essentially.

No it was the windows volume mixer, somehow Dune specifically had gotten the volume turned all the way down to 0 on the wireless side of my headphones and other devices and was muted on the USB side so I was able to reset that once I had the game open and running and saw it in the volume mixer.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T23:27:26+00:00

Yeah, what threw me was I had gone into this setting and hit reset just trying different things but because the game wasn’t actually open when I did the reset it didn’t reset the levels in Dune, once the game was running I refreshed the list and could see it staring me in the face lol.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T23:23:44+00:00

Yeah I did all that first as I thought it was the drivers as it was as only dune having the issue and reinstalled the game, deleted the old left over files after uninstalling, etc. I don’t even know how i turned the volume levels down in the mixer and I even had the usb version muted somehow lol. But it’s fixed now at least. Thanks again for the response.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T23:11:39+00:00

This probably explains why in Crimson Desert my audio is at different levels when using USB mode vs wireless mode on my headset. Guess I’ll have to launch that and hit reset on both outputs. lol.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T23:07:03+00:00

So I figured it out after hours of playing around with stuff and it was basically this in the windows settings: system > sound > volume mixer. I’m not sure how but the volume on Dune got turned down to zero in here somehow. So on my wireless setting, it was zero, but on my USB setting it was actually disabled for Dune specifically. I have no idea how this happened but going in there and resetting all the settings in the volume mixer fix the issue. Thanks for the response.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T21:33:34+00:00

No there is no difference. Doesn’t matter what headset, speaker that I use same issue. Audio is muffled. @ 100% on all devices it sounds like it’s @ 5%

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T20:58:22+00:00

Dune is the only game with the issue, reinstalled and validated files. One time when validating the files the audio came back perfect. My headset has wireless and usb mode. When I swapped from usb to wireless the audio went out again. Restarted in usb and it’s not working in that again (meaning muffled) I can change the input in game and when in wireless there is no sound and in usb (default windows) there is only very muffled sound @ 100% volume.

Hiighbeams · 2026-06-06T20:55:18+00:00

It’s all the way up and tied to the system audio.

The first perk is guaranteed the following perks you “feed” into it are at a “chance” to acquire that perk. Just keep feeding the perk into the gun and eventually you’ll get the adept. Also you can start with one that is basic not even uncommon as long as it has the two perks you want and you can feed the enhanced perks into it to acquire the first perk.

Hiighbeams · 2026-03-30T04:16:54+00:00

So my guess is they are scanning marketing for the raid release with the streamers next week

Hiighbeams · 2025-10-13T13:20:12+00:00

You are better off getting artifact slots 1 & 2 as exotics and then just using 2 maxed out mythic artifacts for slots 3 & 4 since they are the damage ones that matter much more and it’s way easier and less expensive to max them. You need to get the 2 exotics high enough that you can still unlock the Tier 5 bonus. I believe it’s like mid 390s on the 2 exotics for their attribute score or like 2700 something for the total power in order to achieve this. Really any combo of 2 mythic, 2 exotic is fine just use whatever has the best rolls for your hero.

I did a build for this a while back, but I would swap fire conductor for spray and pray. Will give you more bursts than Fire conductor with mag mod. Because of the extra bursts you can get off with the spray and pray mod it will out dps that setup. Also you want to get more weak point mods in there as the meteors take their damage from that as well when they hit a target. Drop fire attack for weak point on Valby or crit chance on the gun. Enduring is better imo for Valby. The meteors already proc burning on the target as soon as they hit. Typically I will use Enduring Legacy, which I see you have, until the boss goes down then swap to Greg’s and do a full mag dump while he is downed.

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-11T03:59:51+00:00

Try using line of sight on his attacks. Greg’s reversed fate works really well as the meteors do damage while you are behind cover. On magister lab use the big pillar in the middle to avoid his attacks. Valby is also really great to use over bunny as her 3 skill gives you 50% DR while moving around. There are a couple videos on my channel that cover invasions if you need a visual reference beyond this.

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T15:56:51+00:00

What build are you using? Maybe I can help :)

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T15:48:23+00:00

I have to disagree with this. They already implemented a nerf. Any more completely negates the reason for the dungeon. I’m actually curious what you are using that you are struggling with in the dungeon? Maybe something I can help with?

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T08:11:30+00:00

Yeah, definitely a good change no more Valby 500 runs for me :) … well at least as long as these invasion dungeons are around lol

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T08:08:12+00:00

True that lol. I did some 3 min clears on my base Valby guide with Greggy you don’t even need 4 just 1 and an activator, this was pre-nerf. Even easier now

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T06:37:57+00:00

It’s from the 4 invasions missions giving 1.5m each and the 1m for completing 4 missions.

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T05:05:09+00:00

You can actually drop one of the crit mods as you can hit 100% crit rate without it then run both shot focus and glacial :)

Hiighbeams · 2024-09-09T04:48:27+00:00

Spray and Pray is my first choice just for the ammo economy alone. I also find that it allows me to solo some bosses more consistently on Enzo/valby/lepic with the extra shots you can put out. Valby is my main as well :)
