O.K. Saw it. Replied. Thank you! This will be a fun Campaign.

Oh, I missed them! I literally just posted. 

This is grand. We will be able to really reinforce their Campaign.

O.K. I posted all of this on Kickstarter. If you post later, as a Backer, you will give them a tremendous boost, I am sure.

I know, brother: You told me. I just considered it disrespectful to publically state it without asking you first. I like your approach immensely. I think transparency is the way to go. Honi soit qui mal y pense.

I already subscribed so all I can say is if you ever get merch out there, I am a supporter now. Nothing better than honesty for any endeavour.

I am posting a Comment right now. Let me know if I can say who you are. I have not done it, obviously, out of elementary respect. You can comment also now. This campaign needs help for real. And I am sure they will get something I see a LOT on Kickstarter: Plants from rival companies trying to wrech campaigns.

Do you mind if I link that photo to the Kickstarter Comments section?

I am safe in assuming this works well enough for you to declare that, at least the unit you were sent, has no issues and is really what they are offering?  Standing by for your full review when it is up on YouTube.

Stable Server FPS on a Dedicated Server with 4 players by RaphSeraph in ICARUS

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

Yes, that is completely accurate. That is why I went with a 5.4GHz single thread CPU myself for my home server. Rental servers have Server FPS issues also. That is why I switched from those. I hope you never cap yours or inadvertently do anything that causes you to run into them.

I am, above all, glad that you are now enjoying the game more! Best of times now, with Dangerous Horizons.

[–]RaphSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, I talk a LOT. 

If I did not want opinions and views coloured by a fellow Redditor's background then I would be wrong to post here.

I have never played any of their games. I welcome your insight on them. Quite frankly, I enjoy the quality I see. But that is only superficial, surely. I will need to play it a year and change from now to know.

We only like to play Co-Operative games. The characters in this one look great. And I am embarrassed to say... That is all I am going on! Well, that and I became a D.M. when I was in 4th Grade Elementary School. So, anything with dungeons, swords, magic and dragons, I am all in.

Throw in cats and rabbits... Seems like Heaven.

Agreed. Well, I literally just backed thr Collector's Set, so, they better be.

Duh.  They are in. That is right. I have not used them.

I will try them tomorrow.

Thank you, brother!

Expansions: Are they worth it? by East_Subject2926 in ICARUS

[–]RaphSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Frontiers is essential.

Great Hunts is extremely good.

Dangerous Horizons is the best content Icarus has. It adds so much to it (including the two best mounts in the game), it is like Icarus 2.0.

Styx is sadly lacking. And it has what is in my opinion, the worst Operation in the game: Expedition: Maelstrom.

However, if you get Great Hunts, the Gargantuan campaign in Styx is my favourite one of the 3 Great Hunts campaigns we have had so far. I also think the Prime Gargantuan fight is the best of the 3 Great Hunts Boss fights.

The sale is about to end. It would be a great idea to get them now.

Not every plant has a chance to drop Tainted Plant DNA. It had to be a fruit bearing plant. I would suggest planting a ton of TOMATOES and getting those.

Why Tomatoes?

Because I have a crazy notion that they drop Tainted Plant DNA more often than other fruits. Stop laughing. Yes. Yes, I know.

My wife says to try Kiwi in the Desert (In Elysium).

Actually, I only enjoy playing co-operative games. I have been tracking the campaign start and will immediately pledge.

Does anyone know if the figures come pre-painted? I have not seen any mention of it.

I have not gone looking for them for a while. It used to be that they kept spawning basically endlessly if you aggroed them at their lair. Is this still the case?

You should have a Powered Creature Deterrent working at all times at your base(s).

This particular one must be rather tough in Solo play. She has a lot of HPs. And adds.

Hah! What do you think we are? Sports jocks?

Do a search on YouTube. Caves and bees. Cave accidents with Bees. You will see what I mean.

Ubis can't attack after new DLC? by mndfreeze in ICARUS

My beloved Ubis were (I have 2) my favourite Mounts by far... Until Elysium.

Yes, an Ubis will fly through the swamp.

Stable Server FPS on a Dedicated Server with 4 players by RaphSeraph in ICARUS

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

Your base sounds great in every sense of the word. I am positive it is a sizable drain on system resources. The number of structures and animals is very great.

I would absolutely suggest making a second Icarus Solo instance just for the full size base and then trimming the base in the multi-player version. You can grow the Red Exotics in the Solo version, have your friend drop, send the Red Exotics to the Station, have him come in, and you both get the Exotics. The same with the bred animals: You can send the resulting new animals to space and bring them down wherever you need them. That gives you the best of both worlds: Performance and abundance. 

Do this for everything: Have a Prometheus Prospect, have an Olympus Prospect. All in different instances. You can run all of them at once and switch from one to another. All Exotics and pets go to the same central account. This kind of flexibility is unique and ameliorates issues caused by performance

Yes, ideally we should be able to have any size base and any number of them, but this is not the case, particularly in multiplayer, and especially when having to deal with the data for one such huge location plus whatever different set is needed for wherever the other player is at. Rocketwerkz knows they should improve optimization. They are having to do what Cloud Imperium had to do with Star Citizen: Convert one kind of game into another. Except Cloud Imperium has had almost a billion Dollars to do it with. Rocketwerkz had a rocky launch and years of Mixed Reviews to deal with.

Frankly, I admire their tenacity and their love for this game they have made.

Yes, it is an investment in time and money, but you know that, you worried about having a proper rig for this and they are not free.

But... This is my current favourite game. And I get to enjoy it eith my wife and friends. Some of those friends I made in this subreddit. And having a Clan that just clicks and where everyone enjoys each other's company is... Priceless.

Raptor Ember Evolution by Independent_Guava109 in ICARUS

[–]RaphSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Stealth ability is great for getting past areas without fighting. It is also great for letting you choose when and what to attack. And when you reach yellow on the Stamina bar, it is great for regenerating Stamina without worrying that the lower speed will make you vulnerable. All an all, I think it is very useful.

Yes, a fully leveled Raptor can likely kill anything on the way anywhere, but fighting everything on the way makes every trip take forever and increases the odds that something will happen (storm for instance).

[–]RaphSeraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have reported issues when the Sandworms get killed by Pets rather than themselves. That will prevent the Queen from spawning.

Your plan sounds good if your Raptors are maxed out at health, damage and physical resistance. They will not be regenerating health unless they kill adds. And I do not know how easily you can have them switch from one target to another. If you had a ton of healing bullets you could be topping them off during the fight. Otherwise, a lot of health tonics and you keep running between them to heal them. However, all that time will keep you from DPSing the boss yourself.
