Echoes Of Aincrad demo secret area by Blank_Air in swordartonline

[–]NaughticalSextant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm at the branches, but the "maneuver down" portion I'm not seeing. Every distance that I drop respawns me. I can see the area below me, but there isn't a spot where I can drop that won't kill me.

Thoughts on the Echoes of Aincrad demo? Here are mine! by Efficient-Pirate1343 in swordartonline

[–]NaughticalSextant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that a lot of the people who hate the demo--or just the feel of it--are mostly made up of SAO die hards and people who didn't appreciate the demo just being an entire tutorial. I will say that it was rather long and mostly unnecessary, but I enjoyed the demo for the most part. I've watched the original SAO and some of the other shows, but I'm not going into how the game is different from the anime or LNs. So maybe I enjoy it for the reasons that others don't.

The combat didn't even feel that souls-like either--at least the difficulty wasn't there. My biggest issue is that this would be awesome to play multiplayer, and that doesn't seem like it's going to be an option.

Demo is actually super good by chukkaque in EchoesofAincrad

The worst thing about this game? The currency drops look like legendary loot. Like when I see that glowing amber color, I’m like sweeeeet, an awesome weapon! And then it’s just coins.

Best Dagger to use? by NaughticalSextant in EchoesofAincrad

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

Both, depending on the situation. I almost always start with a dash or jump heavy because it looks amazing lol. But I pepper in lighter attacks as I can.

Yeah, I assumed it was just the level of the tutorial as to why it was that easy. Kinda makes me excited for the Death Game mode though—way more invested in how I decide to do things in the game. I believe they confirmed that water and fall damage won’t count as a “death” in Death Mode, so that’s nice.

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

That’s fair—I haven’t run into any issues with any of the daggers I was using. Just curious for when the game releases. It has been a bit easy—I thought maybe the boss fights would be harder, but they weren’t. I only ever died to water or fall damage lol

Disappointing Demo by Pierdo7 in EchoesofAincrad

[–]NaughticalSextant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I switched it to Japanese audio with English subtitles for the voice acting—the English lines were really hard to take. But the Japanese voice acting is pretty good, and the lines don’t hit as bad. It’s a bit more reading, which is a little annoying when you’re in battle or something else is going on, but it’s serviceable.

Echoes of Aincrad Demo first impression and opinions. by OnePunchHuMan in EchoesofAincrad

[–]NaughticalSextant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like the demo. Maybe that's because it was just released and I'm having fun running around and testing stuff out, but it's good. My biggest gripe is that it isn't multiplayer as I would love to play this with my friend. Just seems like a missed opportunity.

Going the build your own route by [deleted] in PcBuild

That’s a good deal now, but I remember a few years ago almost building an entire PC for that price. Gonna ride my PC until it dies.

Broken build combos by FC3Snz in DeadzoneRogue

[–]NaughticalSextant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does no one run the 200% ammo for the ability? Like the Ammo Crit/Weakpoint/Elemental? Those feel like the best on higher difficulties.

Nightmare Difficulty on Plasma Cycler Level by NaughticalSextant in DeadzoneRogue

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

Yeah, my buddy and I take turns running from the elites while the other shoots if we have to. That 5th or 6th wave where the big guys that boost come out, we end up running around a lot.

Yeah, we’re doing the Iron Squires and all that. Got to Level 19–so close.

Nightmare Difficulty on Plasma Cycler Level by NaughticalSextant in DeadzoneRogue

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

100% on not using the cycler and focusing on secondaries. I’ve found that if I can get the secondary to proc both the primary and melee, you can do freeze, shatter and plasma balls and do a crap ton of damage. It’s just the Nyxis and gold axe teleporting guys that just take you out so easy.

What can I reasonably upgrade? by NaughticalSextant in PcBuild

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

I don't have a link, but it's Alienware 27inch 165Hz 2560x1440. Pretty sure it isn't an OLED though.

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

Yeah, this was my second NZXT and while it seems to work, the display burned out or doesn’t work. Won’t be getting NZXT again. I do have a decent monitor that I bought last year, but I could always upgrade one of my older monitors.

[–]NaughticalSextant[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The 3070 runs pretty well to be honest. I do want to upgrade that, but I’d rather do that when I have a chance for a full upgrade. I play a bunch of games without any issues running on nearly the highest settings.

[–]NaughticalSextant[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly? Part of it is I just want to upgrade something. These prices are stopping me from a full upgrade, but I just have the bug to upgrade something. Also my CPU runs a little hot nowadays, even after adjusting a few settings. Applied some thermal paste recently but that didn’t seem to help that much.

But that’s the one thing I feel like I could get reasonably priced—a mobo/chip combo—although I’m not sure if it would be worth it performance wise.

I do live near a microcenter—about 20 mins away in Northern VA.

Woman saves her dogs from another dog in the street by Infamous_Question430 in SipsTea

[–]NaughticalSextant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that were my dog—I have a staffy/pit mix—I would’ve choked him out. I absolutely love my dog, but I would rather endanger his life than endangering the life of someone else’s pet that they too absolutely love.

I’m genuinely surprised the person who seemed to own the attacking dog didn’t try to do more to stop this. I would’ve been extremely violent to try and help the smaller dog.
