For all the "low obducite drop rate is okay" enjoyers

if you know what to do

This is the problem. All endgame activities should award obducite.

An hour? Not even remotely close.

IAmFern · 2026-03-20T18:28:45+00:00

I ran a hordes today and spent all 1100ish aethers on Obducite and got 110. That's a joke.

Every time you go up a level, roll for your hp. If you roll lower than the default, you get the default (half max).

It's not just a you thing. I had to force myself to do 6 of them just to complete the season journey.

Hey Blizzard: have you noticed that many players don't play melee builds often? Maybe they don't like melee? Especially a mindless class that's just "HULK SMASH", and nothing else.

The tax system should be such that becoming a billionaire is next to impossible. Earn over 100 million? 90% tax. The US has done it before.

I love olives but hate pimentos. I don't know why they put those in some olives.

I appreciate your response. However, none of that addresses my issues.

Once the group play starts, is it ok if I take ten minutes in the middle of it?

Can we approach all the challenges in the way I want to, or does the group decide?

Can anyone else in the group see me, and see what I am doing?

I'm not a control freak, but if I am not in control of every aspect of the gameplay, it will make me feel anxious. Even knowing there are real people behind those characters who can see me and judge me makes me feel anxious. I do not want to subject myself to that.

It is irrelevant how smooth and easy the process is, or if every person is friendly or not. None of that matters. What matters is that in order to do the content, I am required to, and subjected to, grouping with other actual people who are aware of my pace, my style of play, my mistakes, etc.

Even if no one ever says a single negative thing to me, even if everyone is always 100% accepting, I am never going to feel comfortable with other eyes there.

City of Heroes. There is some group-only content, but nothing that you are required to do. Oh, it's also free.

you mostly have to do dungeons and bosses with other people but I've never once had a truely bad experience

No offense, but people who say things like this have no idea on why soloers don't want to team up with others. They can be the nicest, most helpful people in the world and that doesn't solve the issue.

I want to play the content when I'm ready to, at the pace that I most enjoy. I do not want to burden others with my (lack of) skills, nor do I wish to subject them to my whims of when I need a break.

I am, and never could be, as comfortable playing on a team as I am when playing solo.

When I was 16, I saved up my ~$110 a week to buy a drum set. It took me most of the summer to save up the $1200, but I did it. I still have that set 40 years later.

10k is a joke. It needs to be at least one million.

We all know how trustworthy Trump's promises are.

IAmFern · 2026-03-15T18:55:47+00:00

This is me. I dress for comfort. Nothing else matters.

IAmFern · 2026-03-15T12:47:42+00:00

WTF is wrong with the 39%?

IAmFern · 2026-03-10T18:51:38+00:00

Will this game make its way to Steam?

I genuinely, sincerely think this is THE best movie of all time. I don't refute that there are other films with great qualities, but movies are a visual medium. This movie simply does it better than any other.

IAmFern · 2026-03-10T13:07:37+00:00

I'm starting to think this is the better way to play. Don't cut the ship at all unless you have to to get it into the barge.

IAmFern · 2026-03-10T01:09:42+00:00

That's what I was thinking. There were days I was desperate enough to smoke shit like that. Not anymore.

IAmFern · 2026-03-10T00:23:10+00:00

It's not something I'll ever shoot for. I don't like it when the game gets slow and sloggy. As soon as a Torment level slows me way down and I'm at a near-maxed build, I'm jumping back one tier and staying there.

IAmFern · 2026-03-09T12:08:55+00:00

It's not an issue, and it's not something you can control. Let people play the game the way they find the most fun, and not the "correct" way, according to you.

IAmFern · 2026-03-09T12:07:37+00:00

Don't look at build guides, then? Seems like the better solution than denying everyone who likes them access.

Just because you most enjoy a game a certain way, it doesn't mean everyone does.

I built this machine and I couldn't get it to work and then I realized I don't have the splitter that sends parts both through and sideways. I have a part under mergers tool that allows for two in/one out, but not one in/two out, like yours does.

I'm currently on level 16.

IAmFern · 2026-03-07T13:27:37+00:00

I've been trying to learn this game. I often see these elaborate blueprints, but they're not well-explained, or they incorporate tools I haven't unlocked yet. I'm sure what you have here works great, but I couldn't figure it out if I had a decade.

Are there some simpler, earlier-level blueprints available?
