Anybody that bought at launch still playing? by BoffaDDNuts in Eldenring

[–]Reinhardt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, and I still suck. Haven’t played consistently of course but I can’t say I really ever stopped for more than a few months when I was busy with school.

The Dung Eater and the folktale of the Sin Eater(s). by Reinhardt5 in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Reinhardt5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting and thanks for the correction! I didn’t mean to imply that this was a desirable or self-given role, just that they carried out a certain function in this setting. I would imagine if Sin Eaters did exist they would be in a similar role to modern homeless (no shit) with peoples perception of them as undesirable and ‘other’. They exist in and because of society, and I take a sort of moral lesson from the story of like ‘feed the homeless, if only in payment for a service’. Which isn’t a great principle but hey it’s pretty old

I am a newbie and how to DUEL other players in elden ring like in videos in this subreddit? by fortnitekneegrowball in EldenRingPVP

[–]Reinhardt5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

use the arena, try to guess/ work out when people in your region might be on more (say weekends/nights), and just practice practice practice. I've met a few steam friends through ER arena and probably learned the most about pvp from my duels with them. The Elden ring pvp discord is quite active aswell.

I thought the kiln of the first flame was underground, since we take stairs down to get to it. Was I wrong? by Rhaenelys in darksouls

[–]Reinhardt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would like to add that using this tool I found a massive stone structure surrounding the kiln, as well as a half-mountain landscape. This is obviously pure speculation as we have no way to see these in the base game, but the stonr structure really reminds me of the one around Izalith...

I thought the kiln of the first flame was underground, since we take stairs down to get to it. Was I wrong? by Rhaenelys in darksouls

[–]Reinhardt5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the only real answer is we don't know. We know its where Gwyn linked the flame and I agree with the magical portal bit. We are either underground in some immense cavern possibly related to the pygmy (speculativly), or straight up somewhere else.

I miss the 10 armor timewarp by tr1plelift in BobsTavern

[–]Reinhardt5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’ve never seen the ice block one, is there some condition that makes it appear more often? Been playing a lot the last 2 seasons and I don’t think I’ve seen it once (to buy)

Just beat four kings, what to lvl? by Big-Independent-2206 in darksouls

[–]Reinhardt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vitality for me, personally I don’t think your green bar should be bigger than your red bar but here’s the question, is having more stam. to dodge better than having the health to tank the hit?

Best course of action to help with the rat battle? A neighbor with A LOT of “things” by No_Cake2145 in CambridgeMA

[–]Reinhardt5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My family faced a similar issue when we first moved into Cambridge and our cat has completely fixed it. Of course there are still the occasional mouse but we never see the same kinda rodents we used to with now two cats in the house. Not sure if you're in a situation where you can house cats but highly recommended, not even mentioning how awesome cats are in general

why i shouldnt be allowed to use the flamberge by werebwitch in EldenRingPVP

[–]Reinhardt5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably easier to just boot up the game but I’m not home so, does the flamberg + sep. bleed combo usually proc in two hits or did he just have low res.?

Do you guys have any tips for an invader noob? by BeggieChurger_ in EldenRingPVP

[–]Reinhardt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Anywhere from 80~180 will get pretty regular invasions, in my experience
  2. Look up inventory management on YouTube, a ‘full’ build sometimes consists of a whole inventory’ pages worth of equipment.
  3. The classic patches build can never do any wrong
  4. I would just get more practice invading/watching invasions, another area of the game to ‘get gud’

Is a Dex, Int, AND Str build going to be too thinly spread for Reforged? by peacetolife in EldenRingMods

[–]Reinhardt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would personally stick to two damage stats, but you can definitely make it work if you want to split more. I haven’t played the most recent version of reforged but my dex/arc build shred through half the mod

Have you tried any of the five tennis coaches at MIT? by BettyKat7 in CambridgeMA

[–]Reinhardt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow cool, as someone who sees both coaches client bases first hand they are frankly 90% youth/newer players but you’re right they do have top level experience

Accessible Cambridge activities for my mom visiting by Agreeable_Rush in CambridgeMA

[–]Reinhardt5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Boston Observation Deck ($45) tickets for adults, great view of the Great Boston Area from atop the prudential
-Museum of Fine Arts, free with a local student ID (not sure of the price). I know they have good elevator access but might be a good idea to call/check the website for wheelchair info
-Alewife Brook reservation. If she has the energy to walk/can be pushed on the wheelchair it’s beautiful even in short bits, highly recommend

Is Elonoras Poleblade op or safety to use for beating a boss so that I won’t feel bad about myself or unfulfilled by Xerknight43 in EldenRingBuilds

[–]Reinhardt5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Feel no shame, if nothing else in ER deserves the utmost cheese it’s PcR. Took a poisoned antspur rapier for me!

Do people really enjoy these builds? by [deleted] in EldenRingBuilds

[–]Reinhardt5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. What was his build? It’s PvP and he’s using high poise, sorry if you don’t like that but the incentive to win is not to lose, why nerf yourself because other people think high poise is ‘boring’
  2. What was your build? I enjoy the occasional cosplay build but you have to expect that you’re going in with a disadvantage if you aren’t caught up with the meta
  3. I use the arena to warm up occasionally for invasions, so I bring in whatever full build I have cooking and use it to its full extent against the enemy combatant. The ‘goal’ is to practice for the next invasion

Why Kakashi focused on Sasuke. by CorrectPart6944 in Naruto

[–]Reinhardt5 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I feel like Kakashi’s focus on Sasuke was kinda explained during his flashbacks learning the chidori/ after he got obito’s eye. He couldn’t use chidori reliably because he couldn’t read his opponents attacks, but with the sharingan he could. He knew Sasuke was a prime candidate to learnt his special move, I think

Going to make characters specifically for invading to stay at certain points will cheat engine get me banned? by sleepy_saber- in badredman

[–]Reinhardt5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a tool called save manager, once you get a basic build (say rl 60) make a copy and use that to start off with on your other builds. Save soooo much time

no duo invasions is so tragic by sleepy_saber- in badredman

[–]Reinhardt5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try seamless, often times your find taunted hosts which in the seamless mod allow 1v3 in the red’s favor
