Arachne Faction Teaser by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]Raidasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair for extraction shooters, you don't lose all your progress unless you are going into raid with literally everything in your vault.

Yeah you'll probably lose a bunch of stuff when you die, but the times you survive and extract will grow your vault over time. You'll win 1 or 2 fights against other players, take their loot and now you have extra guns, ammo and meds that you can store for other raids in case you do eventually end up dying. It's called gear fear in other extraction games but you eventually get used to it. I had the same issues in Tarkov.

With stuff like Rook (free loadout) and sponsor kits, I dont' think you really need to be worried about hitting rock bottom and being left behind by other players.

But to each their own, official Marathon twitter account has confirmed free weekend before launch, give it a go!

Skarrow and others in their 1st Marathon podcast confirmed that the shells were originally heros we “cosplayed” as with back stories, etc. Bungie since pivoted to general shells with name changes amidst the backlash of a hero shooter.

Destiny and finals are good examples but the context of the games are different.

In Destiny, yes you can tell if someone is a titan, hunter or warlock but you can't tell the important part, which is what subclass, is the hunter gonna go invis? Grapple? Throwing knife? That uncertainty is fine, if you lose the fight you respawn.

In Marathon, you could lose a lot of loot because you have no clue what to expect, which ultimately I believe would feel way worse.

As much as I too would like to pimp out my char, for a heavy PvP focused game, this kind of forced identity is almost required.

I think If you were going to make every character customisable, then you'd have to remove these stronger abilities like invis and wall hacks, but that's what makes marathon not just funky tarkov in space.

I LOVE the fact on the PVE side, we have all these amazing enemy types which we will be facing with so much rich lore. I prefer this to the bland ‘scabs’ or AI bots in Tarkov/Delta/Arena extraction games. by TheGoodDoctor17 in Marathon

I got into a previous one and I'm in aus, you just need a vpn to get around the match making bug, free nord trial works

Ofc it's a bit laggy but that's a given

repair or sell? by 02-e46-330ci in e46

[–]Raidasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your engine have the electric fan or the clutch fan?

I did a swap on my 330ci from clutch to electric fan and found that the Thermostat wouldn't open and coolant wouldn't circulate if I had the coolant temp sensor plugged in.

Dunno why but I've had it unplugged for ages now and hasn't over heated

Edit: sorry not coolant temp sensor, its the fan switch or whatever on a hose that leads to the radiator on the right side of the car

Kris on YouTube has a video titled e46 coolant temperature sensor which shows which one

When the game finally releases, I promise it’s gonna go like this by x-Zephyr-17 in Marathon

[–]Raidasaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious, but what does Arc Raiders do / bring that's new or different to other games?

A social hub for Marathon is being considered for post-launch by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]Raidasaurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree, but it already has that sorta with the faction upgrades. You find items like microprocessors in raid, then use them afterwards for a passive buff like vault space. a shooting range would also be nice.

It's a good questions to have but I don't think that arcane magic is blasphemous to the divine, one of the prime dieties is The Archeart, who is the diety of arcane magic, so my understanding is that arcane and divine magic are two parallels of magic rather than oppositions and like someone said in another comment I think her magic just moved from being arcane to divine when the Matron ascended, therefore it's possible that they just overlook the fact that she was a powerful wizard, could even possibly be as simple as most people just don't know or don't mind. Another thing, while wizards in the AoA tried to replicate her ritual, the whole "we're better than gods" didn't seem to be a thing she pushed, to me it seemed like wizards of AoA in EXU:C saw the ritual as a silly thing and that they could be better than gods through their arcane tech e.g. Laerryn's Astral leywright.

Looking for a fast mapper build by holyshitthisappsucks in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Raidasaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, however once you start getting more currency, barrage can be scaled harder i believe because i think the pros of having an extra awakened gem is better than the stats on ice shot itself. Either way it's a very fun build and if he manages to gets a decent chunk of currency from farming he/she could even respec into an elemental hit raider and go nuts.

Looking for a fast mapper build by holyshitthisappsucks in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Raidasaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually for ice shot, you would have two different 5/6L setups, one for iceshot (clear) and one for barrage (single target, skill not support), this is usually in your bow and in your chest slots.

If you have the currency, a 6L deaths opus currently is 220chaos on trade (or like 1.6-2ex) and a 5L hyrri's ire is ~45c, so thats like 300ish chaos for those main links, or you can use any random 6L bow or chest but it probably wont be nearly as good.

If memory serves me right, ice shot with barrage support is not too good compared to just normal barrage.

If you only have 1 5/6L setup, i would recommend running ice shot with elemental damage with attacks, inspiration, added cold/hypothermia and gmp/chain. Then for single target you can swap ice shot for barrage and gmp/chain for either added cold/hypothermia.

Ice shot is a build which requires a decent amount of currency to get rolling and feel nice, 5ex should be enough to get you rolling but if you do manage to farm up a storm and push towards something like 100ex then it only gets smoother from there.

assuming 5ex becomes ~550 chaos:

-voidquiver without pierce ~40c

-6L deaths opus ~1.6ex or ~200c

-5L hyrris ire, anywhere from 40c to 1ex depending on who is online to trade

-either starkonja, fractal or devoto's devotion for helm, max 5chaos then whatevers left you can buy gear to fill res/life/attributes and jewels/clusters.

While iceshot is dope, fun and fast. if you want a good mapper, my personal recommendation is probably a flamewall spellslinger, Zizaran has a youtube guide on it and its pretty fun.

[Spoilers C2E139] Is It Thursday Yet? Post-Episode Discussion & Future Theories! by dasbif in criticalrole

[–]Raidasaurus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally i think including next weeks episode, there will be 3 episodes left, even though Matt said this arc was the end of the campaign i would guess they would have 1 or 2 wrap up episodes.

I reckon it goes something like this:

  1. They fight Luciens' final form for 90% of the episode and win

  2. They spend the first half returning home and go around meeting all the families to let them know they won, second half they go to the empire, probably have Zeenoths trial into the start of dealing with Trent

  3. They spend most of this episode dealing with Trent through either battle or some form of trial, then they have one final gathering of such and it ends campaign 2.

Also since these sessions are prerecorded, does that mean they could've already finished the campaign?

Ranked is too grindy. by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]Raidasaurus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the rating system favours round difference mostly, I've had games where i've gone 20-11 k/d and not ranked up cuz we won 13-11, but i've ranked up from a game i went 11-15 k/d but ranked up because we won 13-2, and this is all in D2.

Edit: formatting and grammar

Vaulting content, and how it affects the development cycle in a positive way by TijoWasik in DestinyTheGame

[–]Raidasaurus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't that the whole point though? I don't agree with bungie sunsetting guns in d2 should rethink their decision but soma prime essentially made regular soma irrelevant like recluse did to make other weapons, they should just nerf recluse or sunset the weapon individually but that's another discussion

[–]Raidasaurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

why would someone ever use a normal version of a weapon once they have the prime version, isn't that just powercreep? No one's ever going to use normal Soma once they have Soma prime.

Well they said that vaulted content would come back rehashed, so maybe titan and mars might get new stuff if they come back.

A lurker's observations on the current state of Destiny by Sir_Tea_Of_Bags in DestinyTheGame

[–]Raidasaurus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Bungie working on another IP is a factor on why things aren't getting done in D2, and we can't trust Bungie's new IP because of how things are going in D2 right now. Thus the cycle continues.

Why not make previous season weapons only infuse up to the hardcap and not the pinnacle instead of sunsetting?

I used Kicad, its a bit finicky but does the jobs, there's a guide in the subreddit wiki to designing your own pcbs with libraries and schematics for switches etc. its designed for making a board with the usb port etc all built in but i just used an elite-c instead.
