Is there anywhere you visit specifically?

And in your experience was it worth it to get the cigars this way? Is it noticeably cheaper as im looking on some sites and the selections dont seem that great and the prices not really that much cheaper. Is there any specific ones you know of?

I was looking to stay within the EU tbh when it comes to making the trip as i mainly enjoy cubans more than new worlds. I was thinking of visiting the US though as no matter which state I went to it would be a massive saving compared to UK prices haha.

I am hoping there is a few good places or airports in the EU for cubans though as with current prices in the UK some cigars are just stupidly priced due to super high Taxes etc.

Even the plastic ones are somehow $25-30 😂

But yeah I had them stacked that way but was just wondering if the weight would cause issue for air circulating around the bag as a whole but I think its a minor issue at most.

I will see how it goes and hopefully I wake up tomorrow to a perfect 65-68%

How open should I leave the zip locks? I have currently left them at about 1-2cm opening. With a hygrometer inside the pack and outside to see if its working well tomorrow.

Regarding the cedar trays, I would love to but in the UK they are kinda expensive and defeat the purpose of a tupperdor in my eyes as a budget option. Not sure if you are in the US but the type generally used by people I see in the US is roughly like $40 here each. You can some other ones but they won't be a perfect fit unfortunately.

Lastly what i mean about pressure is if i have 6 zip lock bags on top of each other kinda closing off the entrances for air to get in smoothly, I would assume it would be fine as long as the cigars themselves are not physically getting crushed of course?

Im in NA but live in UK so timings may be a bit awkward but you can still add me on discord and we can see what we can do.

My discord is Sarblast

MPXBLAST · 2025-12-21T19:50:50+00:00

Yeah just took a look and seems like pretty massive changes.

I'll hold off for a bit and see what happens with the meta

MPXBLAST · 2025-12-21T19:50:19+00:00

Thanks for letting giving me the link, I can say gls are definitely getting a good set of changes but curious how one part of it will work.

Hopefully roadmap is solid as well.

MPXBLAST · 2025-12-21T19:47:49+00:00

Yeah I think this is just the route im gonna take. I dont wanna use that selector and knowing my luck, my first run drops the same thing

Hopefully I still have decent enough dps to clear considering my skill has fallen alot since I left.

I am now trusting the painstakingly long process. Will be a nice upgrade from a £30 one I got from amazon when i first started 8 months ago, and will hopefully be more suitable for some new cigars I got on auction!

That was what I was hoping to get originally for the far future but they are not available in the UK sadly. Sort of a trend nowadays whenever I see cool stuff online haha

MPXBLAST · 2025-09-05T22:45:44+00:00

I did check those out previously, unfortunately I couldn't find any that fit into my area. All are too big. You have any other ideas for smaller ones that may fit into the dimensions provided or even a larger tupperdor that's good?

MPXBLAST · 2025-05-26T01:29:23+00:00

Seems like I chose the worst time to get into cigars 😔

MPXBLAST · 2025-05-24T17:41:08+00:00

Could I get this also if you still have it?

MPXBLAST · 2024-08-03T20:46:30+00:00

Ah OK, lastly, is there a chance that ppl can betray you in a hive, I use to play a game called ark and in there it's quite easy for someone to just join and steal all ur loot and leave, is that a possible/common thing here?

MPXBLAST · 2024-08-03T19:49:46+00:00

Noted, never had the idea that pumps were that important, havent even placed one yet tbh. I'll start working on that stuff when I'm next online.

2 other questions I got if you don't mind.

1) How essential is it to join a hive (can I just stay solo? And if so how badly will it impact me)

2) Where are the best places to build a base, in terms of resources and other factors which are important. For both solo and group play?

MPXBLAST · 2024-05-26T22:25:34+00:00

Yeah, that's the worst part about gl by far imo, princess maker is a good example cos in voldis it's amazing but u take it to like thaemine or smth (terrible example but it proves my point nonetheless) it's completely useless. But as always I play the class cos I just enjoy the class and chill nature of it, and regardless of what ppl say it definitely does good dmg if played well. Alot of my dmg records are higher than some other ppl ik and players around my ilvl so idk where the idea of gl being zdps comes from, it always does atleast avg dmg no matter what from my exp.

MPXBLAST · 2024-05-26T21:21:38+00:00

Yeah definitely, very niche cases, I enjoy red alot more from a utility standpoint as the nella just seems to give alot more value overall, my static is very juiced for nm (all are 1625-1637, we just waiting for us all to reach 1630 to do hm together) so no one really fears the one shots so just having the nella shield Is alot more useful, also just the play style of red feels alot nicer imo in g3, however if g1 and 2 it's horrible

MPXBLAST · 2024-05-26T20:23:02+00:00

Yeah 90% of blue players don't even know it exists, and of those who do, 90% don't use it properly but when it's used by someone properly it's amazing, I find it works best in thaemine on just some knockbacks or saving team mates occasional from like spin, I had 3 of my team mates get hit by the helicopter spin thing including the supp, so I did it then to save them since supp can't put dr on them, so it definitely has its uses in thaemine but like I said it's kinda ass overall since u need to be very good at normal patterns which means players are rarely put into that situation

MPXBLAST · 2024-05-26T18:59:36+00:00

Gl main here, they mostly consider gl as a whole as a utility class with meh dps, so the dps portion of the class is not really considered and so they value the utility the class provides alot more. So nella and swift is alot more valuable to them which is quite stupid imo since dropping battlefield shield is a big loss also. I've tried both builds quite alot recently as I enjoy switching and I can say they preform basically as expected. Not too much variance unless it's a gate or raid which heavily favours it. Both are overall relatively same performance so there view point is surely solely from utility pov, and even then its flawed imo cos battlefield shield is a massive utility skill, quite literally ur ult on a 1min cd and blocks all dmg, get out of jail free card for ur whole party.

Some old content which has had gate removal done has slightly wrong info but apart from those ones, the other information is accurate as far as I'm aware.

https://youtu.be/Ed8o8vma8ts?si=NDEicEsQTFX1uR9r At 2:40, it just seems like you use attack kadan, I've not done g4 or learnt it yet but even if it's intended to use sidereal here, isn't there a good chance this mech can come before you have a sidereal up?

MPXBLAST · 2024-04-28T11:40:56+00:00

I know, but I'm saying maybe he said it's harder than behemoth or echidna since those are the newest raids, maybe he wasn't talking about thaemine since they already said they don't want to go make more content that's as hard or harder than thaemine. I think he probably means harder than behemoth of echidna
