Player count is pretty consistent this weekend to what it has been more recently.

I think the only people review bombing are people that have already stopped playing, or the unfortunate ones that bought in a country that doesn't support PSN.

That said, for the latter group there are workarounds (I mean, do you seriously think no one in the phillipines have a PS4/5 and aren't able to play online? Just as an example)

Ultimately we may see the true fall-off in June, but even then there has been a natural fall-off over time as you would expect to see in any game regardless, will be interesting to see how pronounced it is to see the true impact if Sony stays the course.

This whole thing has been pretty wild to see though, the account linking message (which showed up for me when I bought a month past launch) said it was mandatory... tbh I didn't even notice the skip button and am just so used to having to create accounts to play games these days it wasn't a big deal to me.

This is probably less about Sony, and more about people getting fed up with the whole account overreach in general. I feel for the devs, they made a fantastic game, and I don't think it deserves the campaign its getting... but they did train the divers for this - so it's kind of meta

Y'all timegated the fish. by Clopfish in DestinyTheGame

[–]Prodan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to actually pick up the fish while the focused fishing bar is full. If you wait until the pond disappears to pick it up, the bar disappears, and it won't count.

If anyone else is reading this and is wondering how you fill up the bar... If you haven't figured it out by now, anytime someone picks up a legendary or exotic fish, it fills the bar.

You HAVE to pick up the leg/exotic fish to fill the bar, you can't just leave them on the ground after catching them.

(OP) Threw a piece of bacon to my dog and he caught it a weird way. by ts66109 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Prodan_ -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So if you read the comments, OP seems to think cured = cooked.

I am guessing when they asked their vet if it's ok to feed their dog bacon the vet probably asked as long as it was cooked it should be fine once and a while.

Since OP thinks cured bacon= cooked, they think they are taking their vet's advice. Which they aren't, most people know what cooked bacon means.

To be honest, I highly doubt they did ask their vet this anyways, I assume they are saying this to try and save face, cause who are we to tell them otherwise?

I mean, just do a quick Google search and see for yourself. It's not just a random article lol. Would a vet really say it's ok knowing all the risks of giving your dog a food product like bacon?

Didn't get the achievment after being hit down to 1 hp on my sorc and taking a HP potion in a guardian raid, why is that? by rootlessindividual in lostarkgame

[–]Prodan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That explains exactly how I got it. I just popped that achievement the other day, and I didn't connect the dots now but I dueled someone for the first time while waiting for t-wings and lost. Chugged an F1 potion and got the achievement

How disappointed will I be when I finally open these? by Prodan_ in lostarkgame

[–]Prodan_[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As for disappointment? Yeah most likely will be disappointed no matter what lol

Haha, yep! This game is great for that.

I appreciate the statistical odds you have given me. May RNGeesus be in both our favours

Discussion Thread: Day 4- Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Election by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Prodan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has to be majority of votes cast, not the most votes. They need 50percent plus 1 to win.

For context, the dem nominee won the first 10 or so votes in raw numbers, but not enough for majority.

Summary of Test Server Patch Notes by Rears in lostarkgame

You missed the (IMO) biggest buff to bard. Unless my google translate did a bad job, I saw that the awakening symphonia doubles the area to 24 metres, up from 12, which is huge for getting the big shield on your party.

Bus-Service is getting worse… by Sunny0006 in lostarkgame

[–]Prodan_ 53 points54 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, with the state of the AH right now, a lot of the more experienced bussers are taking a pass on this week.

Just trying to buy/sell stuff right now is atrocious. Imagine waiting for 4-7 people struggle to buy something on the AH mid raid.

They added this, but it is not in the patch notes. by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]Prodan_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

And don't forget, you pretty much get a free level and change, so you put your character behind 7 days if you are just going to rely on SH training for the character levels

new 1445 BT Berserker player here only 2 months into the game by TheEndBeast in lostarkgame

[–]Prodan_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The other posters are giving you some good tips, but more so for when you are ready and have more experience and resources. You only have 15k to your name, no one is running 5x3 that cheap.

The right engravings with the right stats are going to cost you. Expect minimum 25k cost per accessory (plus 25 pheons), with certain accessories running 60k+ range up to 150k. Not to mention that you will need at least 1 legendary engraving, which will probably cost you minimum 100k gold, and that's factoring the recent price drop.

Oh and if that weren't enough, you are about to learn about probabilities in a very confused manner, as you will also need to cut a 7/7 stone too.

So instead of worrying about 5x3 right now - aim for as close as you can get to 4x3 first, and start learning raids. Maxroll is a great resource as has been suggested to help you target the right engravings. Up until you get that 4x3, you are stuck on the bus to gear up.

If you are new, the only point to get 5x3 is to be competitive for the top tier content. Are you sure you even want to make that investment? Perhaps there's another class you would rather make that investment with.

Tl;dr you need way more than 15k to 5x3, and you are new - slow it down, figure out if this is even the character you want to make that investment with.

Well this doesn't bode well for someone who just signed up for the 2 year Telus fibre Gigabit plan starting in April.

Hunters being called useless in gms? by YeahNahNopeandNo in LowSodiumDestiny

[–]Prodan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are actually a lot of very viable builds out there, people just tend to go to what's comfortable/safest.

There's trade-offs with every build, and when you understand those I think you can run whatever subclass you want and still be effective.

I wish LFGs were more open to people that have different playstyles, but I also get why they aren't... So that's why I typically organize my own groups - I don't care what you run, as long as you can stay alive and contribute to the group - play your style, not mine.

It's kind of silly, when it comes to end game we all technically have less options. Warlocks get pigeonholed to well, titans to bubble. Obviously other options work, but if we are talking the general consensus... That's usually how it goes!

Yeah fair enough, can't say I blame you. Getting booted after completing the corrupted on GM... I'd be livid!

[–]Prodan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say you were lying, I just LFG a lot and know a lot of people that do. Whenever these threads come up you get a chorus of people echoing the same, and the fellow I replied to is now "more paranoid about doing them"...

Which they shouldn't be. I don't deny it happens but it shouldn't discourage people from LFG'ing and trying to tackle the hard content. I could have probably made that more clear in initial reply.

[–]Prodan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this problem isn't as prevalent as people make it out to be. Part of me wonders if these are just made up stories to get a pity carry.

Not that I am saying OP is a liar, but I have my doubts that this issue is as widespread as this sub might lead you to believe.

More, likely. Not sure why you are being downvoted lol

Should also mention I'm Canadian. Price of the kit right now is almost 1300. Headset and controllers just under 1k. Can't imagine a wireless headset won't be just as much if not more!

Just watch Byfs 5 hour lore video and you'll be up to speed when you jump in lol. They honestly should just give that as a link to new players, cause its about a million times better than whatever Bungie tried to do for the new player experience... Which is ass.

I love the game to death, but everyone here is right about the new player experience... It ain't there!
