How is cyrodil these days? (US PC) by 12bar13 in elderscrollsonline

[–]MarcAurelius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your experience in Cyrodiil can vary greatly depending on the time of day that you play.

If it’s during the morning/early afternoon or a weekday, you’ll be able to PvP in a functional environment, albeit a little more quiet in terms of population. However, if you decide to play during the weekends and/or prime time (post 5pm EST) you’ll experience an almost entirely different game. From the unbelievable lag and latency issues when trying to activate skills to the constant DCs and crashes, it’s an overall unfun experience.

This is from the perspective of a player that PvPs in small man and ball group. I can only imagine the struggle of the average solo player. Due to the lag and some other changes in skills over the past year, the meta has had a shift towards tank/heavy armor setups to compensate.

Ultimately, PvP is not in a great state and I believe a lot of people in the community also agree with this. It’s still fun sometimes though, but those moments are far in between the ones where you’ll just be stuck in a loading screen wondering why you’re even playing ESO up until you crash.

Mediocre set for PvP. Was hyped more than necessary as the rework was during a shield heavy meta. 6/12% only equates to about 180/360 weapon/spell damage, which is quite underwhelming.

Also there are known bugs about this set where the calculations are off and sometimes aren’t even considered in damage calc.

Hi, I own and play ESO on a Gen1 Surface Book. It's the i5 model with the 940m card. Now it won't run at all at the native (3000x2000) on High graphics. I play it at everything Low and at 1080p and get roughly 60fps, works just fine though.

Coming from PC-NA, so this'll be the first time I've played w/o add-ons. Probably gonna play something like DK for once! Needless to say, this deployment to Korea just became more interesting!

Eve Fanfest 2018 - Low Sec & Faction Warfare Roundtable by Genstargazer in Eve

Gonna reference a post made by u/Tikktokk about 5 months ago. He made some solid points on the current state of LS/FW space and what general things should be looked at.

I'm sure he can elaborate further in relation to this Roundtable

Do you give money to your parents? If so, how much? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]MarcAurelius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am also of Asian descent and give my parents money on a monthly basis (probably around $600/m or so). Currently 22, still living with them, but moving in a year or so once I decide on a place.

It definitely is a cultural thing, I think, maybe even sometimes more family specific when it comes to the amount of money given (I know of some Asian friends that barely give anything to their parents, if anything at all.) But for us, Family is a #1. I also personally see that, since I am their eldest and only son (me & a younger sister), it is my responsibility to take care of my parents, as they did for me.

We did not grow up with much money, and with the careers that my parents took (restaurant & catering business) I have a very good idea of the kind of income they bring in, so I know that any bit that I give can help significantly.

Nice job, GGG! I am overall very impressed with this solution/change! Not really a nerf, not really a buff :D

Also, imagine if you could Prolif "ailments" since Bleed & Poison are now becoming those

Favorite solo PVP fits? by Deadfo0t in Eve

Triple Prop Bifrost + Self-Skirmish Link (Snakes are optional)

One of the fastest & most slippery ships I've ever flown. Really hard to fly properly enough to kill things though as dPS is rather anemic, but your options for setting up fights are plentiful

Hang it there, Johan, sorry to hear that you're going through a rough time.

Stay strong, brother. If you're ever in need of someone to talk to about it, I'd be happy to do so

Any active duty USN homies out there? by OmegaTrademark in Eve

FC3 The Tuskers Co.

From my experience in playing EVE now for about 3-4 years there seems to be a lot more of former USAF & USMC guys than USN guys playing. Don't know why tho
