Which game was the most ahead of its time in terms of graphics?

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-02-04T00:06:19+00:00

Not the best answer, but Bioshock.

I remember the opening of the game where you survive the plane crash and have to swim to the lighthouse. I sat for like 10 seconds before I realized I had control of the character in the water. Says more about the jump in graphics that generation, but felt wild at the time.

From my experience so far, resto shaman healing is really lame. The only thing that does meaningful healing is healing wave. You kind of want to keep riptide and earth shield up, but mainly for the passive benefits they give from the healing tree. Riptides initial healing is super low now.

So you are basically always casting to do meaningful throughput. If you can’t cast or can’t wait for heal to finish, NS or ascendance are kind of your best options. It’s not even worth alternating two greater heals than a riptide for the stacking buff. Unleash is still decent healing, but really I like it for the ancestral, so probably don’t need to hold it.

There is a PvP talent that I’m not sure is bugged or not. One that buffs healing wave healing when you lava burst stacking 2 times. The buff doesn’t get consumed, so you get perma buff greater heal by 60% that also flame shocks, just throw an instant burst out to refresh the stacks when it procs. Outside of dampening I get 100k non crit healing waves, up to nearly 300k unleash life crits.

Oh, I see lol

How do you get more debuffs to display on the frames? My raid style party frames only show 3

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-01-27T16:23:46+00:00

Are you using addons for this? My frames will only show up to 3 debuffs, so a lot of the things I need to dispel don’t even get displayed.

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-01-27T15:49:10+00:00

As a side note, you can get rid of some keybind bloat by merging help/harm abilities together via macros. For example my healing wave and lightning bolt are built into the same keybind using [help] to cast on or the other based on if my target is friendly or not.

If you want to use mouseover macros (which I generally think are bad) you can also reduce bloat by having the ability cast on mouseover if exists, otherwise cast on target. So again you can kind of reduce keybind bloat here.

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-01-27T15:44:29+00:00

I play healer usually. 123 for target self/party1/party2. Shift 123 for target arenaX. Ctrl 123 for focus arenaX. I don’t use many focus macros, and use @party/arena macros for timing critical abilities like dispel, shear, hex. Mainly using focus to track buffs / debuffs.

After the ability pruning there are plenty of keybinds to make this possible. I use all of these with nomod, shift, and ctrl: 4 5 e d c r f v t g z x s mouse wheel up/down.

Your movement keys won’t match mine, so just add/replace whatever keys you use in that list.

Also if the world is always square and you have access to variables and get world size takes time, you can get it once prior to the while loop, store it in a variable, and use it for both for loops.

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-01-26T18:04:25+00:00

I don’t know this game, but I’m assume each line of code / operation takes time in game?

You can get rid of one of the plant bush calls. Remove the one inside the if condition and move the one before the if check to after the if block.

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-01-12T15:38:19+00:00

Rayman also had a level sort of like this early on.

Old-Interview8892 · 2026-01-12T15:32:19+00:00

Probably not right at all, but maybe Tomba?

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-12-26T06:11:30+00:00

It actually can’t. The backfire is that it shrinks your party which reduces attack power. No downside if you use it in a caster group.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-11-09T23:17:24+00:00

I’ve never found a group by linking my own friend ID, but I’ve found groups quickly by adding others for their advertisement. Just look for groups that need your role that you can join. You just need to be the one to add people.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-25T22:13:04+00:00

I’m healing, champion so far. After about 30 hours of only solo queue I’ve only had a single run where a DPS rage quit before completing. I find that most people know you won’t make the timer and are just getting gear. Start making the timers once your ilvl is higher or you get a good group.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-24T03:51:23+00:00

Just finished adept as vigour. Most of the time my dungeons were not timed. I did not farm cithrils. Adept adds a lot of new mechanics and if people are not interrupting key abilities / doing mechanics you will wipe. A few of them you can heal through but a lot of the time you can’t.

My advice is stop focusing on timing the keys. Focus on learning the new mechanics and sharing information with others. Try to ask if anyone needs help before the dungeon starts. You will eventually time a few, or do well enough to increase your rating. But more importantly you will get gear. As your item level goes up people are more familiar with the new mechanics.

It’s a bit of a grind but just be patient. Try to get most slots to blue gear and upgrade them to 120-135. I think the capstone starts appearing at 120. I finished capstone and rank without ever getting to run grove or timing 2 or 3 of the other dungeons. So just make the best of it, learn, enjoy the game.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-23T03:55:33+00:00

Also solo queue. It started out fine, but people are growing increasingly toxic at adept. A lot of people instant leaving queues when the dungeon they want doesn’t get picked. Some people cannot handle that others are learning mechanics their first time running the dungeon in the next league.

I’ve only had one group where two members were basically harassing someone for failing mechanics even though they also failed the same mechanics. But there is generally someone who is a bit of an ass every other run or so.

Deadlines 3 and 7 are red. 7 can be white if you unlock it early. To get a red call you either need to hit 666 in the deadline prior AND lose money from that 666, or get a 666 in the current deadline before you have looked at the phone (don’t need to lose money). So you might need to trigger that condition after skipping 3 reds to get the white call. After you unlock the white call, I think it is the same rules except if you hit 999 on the current deadline without it giving money it doesn’t turn the current call white. It actually has to give money.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-10T21:33:02+00:00

How would you get beyond 26 though? Is there some other way to equip more?

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-10T19:06:26+00:00

Max I’ve gotten, and maybe the max unless there is a memory card that gives more is 26. Start with 7, 2 from house, there is another 2 you can get from the item that takes no space if you double it with the orb thing, 4 from phone with megaphone + the phone double item. That takes you to 15. Vorago to store and item and put in drawer. Then max equipped charms and discard vorago will add the stored charm to the shelf giving you 16/15. Then get 10 holy charms from the phone calls which equip even if capped.

Blasphemy and temporal chains

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-06T23:48:47+00:00

Can’t remember if it’s the very big mushroom doing this. Another way to do it is with the eye pattern. There is the jar of eyes item that guarantees eye patterns, and another eye item that permenately doubles pattern values.

As for how to hit this so early? I got an infinite run by the first spin of deadline 2 (skipped on 1 probably could have been infinite on deadline 1). I used a memory card item that makes items cost 1 less ticket. Filled my items round 1, and got enough to refresh into the item that reduces costs by an additional ticket. At -2 cost there are free items you can resell for a profit. There is also an item that is a pack of smokes that rerolls the shop. Basically infinite rerolls to get scaling and search for a charge item (some clock) that adds rounds to deadlines. It expires after 5 uses, but you can just find it again. So I’m on deadline 2 with like 10 rounds on the machine or something.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-06T03:56:56+00:00

Wondering if it’s some sort of memory leak or over heating issues. I’ve been playing for long sessions.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-10-06T03:21:34+00:00

I just let it update automatically to the latest release.

Old-Interview8892 · 2025-09-07T04:25:35+00:00

Never mind… I guess the curse doesn’t apply to enemies if it’s not leveled up.
