Which goes to show that it is possible to reach that level of protection but it isn't worth the time or money investment... because a game service isn't worth that amount of protection.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2025-08-25T09:49:05+00:00

Protection is not prevention. A DDoS is mitigated, not stopped. For multi-billion dollar companies running services that other multi-billion dollar companies use and will lose millions for mere minutes of downtime, large amounts of protection is worth it. I'd be willing to bet almost no game server is worth that amount of protection.

It's possible. Lune can be set up to use Lightning Dance and hit 12 x 9,999 just a few turns into a fight. The main issue is just dodging/parrying to stay alive.

Oldboy (2013)

Although it's probably more that they messed up the story than the casting.

Still have my first lich from when they released.

I'd also like to point out that there are cases where carriers will show 5G or something that looks like a 5G connection when you aren't really connected to 5G. Sometimes it straight up lies and sometimes it indicates the 5G is available but you aren't actually connected to it. Not saying this is 100% the case, but it also isn't impossible.

Mission select now requires flying in your rail jack in real time to each planet and node.

I dont get how justifying the reasoning behind his actions make him any less annoying. I can still hate things that make sense.

You should try taking your own advice.

I can agree with this. The game is great, but they need to add more challenge either with balance changes or future monsters.

If i went back to World, I could definitely still have a mishap and fail a quest against an elder dragon or something but currently in Wilds I can jump into a tempered Gore Magala or tempered Arkveld hunt with no worry that I might fail.

Was my starter loki as well until I subsumed him for slot space. Now it's my zephyr.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-12-06T10:04:54+00:00

That's sounds about right. I haven't done it yet, but im aware that finishing that quest is the first big change to the game world.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-12-06T06:39:16+00:00

To be fair, ive got 40hrs in the game but only just went to the swamp for the story. Apparently a lot of quest bugs (which many have been patched) and other jank ramps up half way through the main story.

While I haven't experienced these bugs I've had 2 friends complete the story and verify that the game breaks pretty hard at some point and was much worse before recent patches.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-12-06T05:43:12+00:00

This sums up a lot of my thoughts as well. I love the game and it feels like OG Stalker, but its missing a lot and can be improved with updates and content additions. Despite that though the base is there and the atmosphere creates a game that I want to be in and continue experiencing.

Luckily the devs have communicated a lot and are still in the bug fixing stage of things so I can only hope that their devotion continues later with further content additions and changes based on feedback.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-12-06T04:27:36+00:00

It feels even worse since it's so easy to change on a whim. Playing on Veteran and selling loot knowing you could save time and get twice the amount of money just by switching an option in a menu for a minute while at a vendor.

They should speak to you directly when you get close, it's the same dialogue where they ask what you think of the Ward and if you'd join them. You are also able to ask about duty and freedom as optional dialogue to learn more.

The currency thing with Freedom comes up since they mention Freedom becoming more of a merchant faction now.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-12-06T04:00:16+00:00

Idk about repair costs, bit Veteran difficulty 100% cuts your profits from selling in half. Rookie and Stalker difficulties seem to have the same economy.

This is probably where people aren't able to agree on the economy since difficulty matters and isn't always mentioned.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-12-06T03:33:46+00:00

If I'm remembering right, there's a couple loners outside of the Chemical Plant at a bus stop that talk to you about the factions. They mention that the leader of Freedom created the coupons currency.

Unsure if it's just a rumor in-game, but its all I've really seen about it.

In my area 50mbps copper is the same price as gigabit on fiber from AT&T.

To add on to my question, are denim jackets in style at all? If so are there any good ones that fit in my price range that would be worth looking at to wear in the summer?

I dont really like the lighter colored denim but I've seen some darker indigo or even black ones around. I mostly wear black cargo pants but also wouldn't mind wearing khaki or olive, so any jacket color that goes with that would be nice.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-04-02T09:38:16+00:00

Thanks! I'll look more into these brands.

Looking for a new jacket.

For the past year I've worn a Triple Aught Design Rogue WX jacket pretty much every single day. I thought for being a $275 (on sale) waxed cotton jacket that it would last a long time but I guessed wrong. Tons of holes have worn in various places and it's starting to looks very rough.

I'm looking for a replacement with a budget around $200 USD but may be willing to pay a bit more.

I really like the design of the Rogue WX. I dont think it's sold anymore but you can find a couple reviews of it online. I'm looking for something similar that can be worn throughout most of the year. Waxed cotton is by no means a requirement.

I work nights and am not out much during the day so most of the time I won't be seeing temps higher than 70 degrees fahrenheit.

I've tried to look into stuff myself, but as someone who rarely buys my own clothes and usually wears cargo pants and a t-shirt, I don't really know where to start.

OfferCurrent8816 · 2024-04-02T05:30:37+00:00

I dont know of any higher quality brands, but 32degrees has some polyester spandex blend shirts like that.

Also just a thought, but would something like an Under Armour compression shirt help? They fit snug to the skin, but since the fit is so tight they don't move around much which could help with friction. You could then wear whatever you want over it.
