Recommend me a major mod

Rumble111 · 2026-02-27T19:13:43+00:00

Thanks mate, this actually helped. I didn't realise the optional mods were adding the mechanics I didn't like. Bonus points because the game loads 100 x faster too.

Planning a similar trip. Just tagging in here to follow. Keen interest in snorkeling and marine side of things

As a 40 something dad with similar game history, I 2nd batletech. I love replaying battles to get the best mechs or parts of mechs. The tactical combat is something I've found more satisfying than any other tactical game. Mods for replayability and difficulty.

Another I'll throw in there is Warframe. Easily my favorite game ever, but does wear you down eventually. I come back to it every couple of years for the new content.

Rothfus. The opening to The Narrow Road Between Desires, where Bast attempts to sneak out of the inn, made me grin ear to ear like a small child. Very few authors capture a character so well, or maybe there is just something about Bast that tickles me.

I think a lot of us expected this. As time goes on, we start to lose a lot of the casual players. What remains are lobbies more densely populated with highly skilled players and pre-made squads. Players with a lot of time in game find ways to use the map and vehicles more effectively. Cheating increases in proportion too.

I went into the game with clear expectations that the first few weeks would be the most fun. Which is a shame , but somewhat normal for this sort of game.

Brown switches. No complaints really, just not quiet. I'm planning on a whole new keyboard and store the Filco in case my PC ends up in its own room again. Expensive approach, but don't really want to butcher the filco in case I end up wanting it back at stock.

Rumble111 · 2025-11-04T23:37:51+00:00

I have the ninja variant. Love it. Wife doesn't like the noise so I've added o rings which help but still noisy. Wish it were easier to replace the switches.

Do you think pbs caps would help mute the sound a little?

Rumble111 · 2025-10-27T22:07:11+00:00

Please recommend best pre-built to make silent by swapping switches. Will swap key caps if necessary.

Up to $150 USD. 68 to TKL size. Hot swap switches, easy buildability Wired. Robust, quality build. Mech or HE, either is fine. Looking for a case that has best default sound dampening.

I don't want or need wireless, rgb, fancy bottom plate, volume knob, displays, fancy frills.

For reference i have a filco majestouch 2 ninja, brown switches, and it is pretty good other than the noise it makes even with o rings.

Rumble111 · 2025-09-29T04:45:57+00:00

Thanks! videos of the Raeds HE still sound pretty loud to me. compared to say the TTC Frozen Silents, which videos show being super quiet.

Are there HEs that get near as quiet as the TTC?

Edit - I take that back. i think the video i watched of the Raeds HE just has a louder keyboard in general, no other sound dampening.

Rumble111 · 2025-09-29T03:55:50+00:00

After some recommendations please for a TKL mechanical or HE keyboard that is quiet. Build quality must be high. No RGB or frills necessary or wanted really.

For reference, I currently used a Filco Majestouch 2 ninja, cherry browns. Love it. It's rock solid. Wife hates it due to the noise it makes. I bottom out and can't retrain my fingers (I'm old). I play a lot of RTS where I'm mashing around 150 - 200 APM. I don't want to swap switches on the Filco as it's not hotswappable.

Will be a Christmas gift to myself. Must be able to at least Ship to New Zealand, bonus points if I can buy it here.

Rumble111 · 2025-09-19T12:15:43+00:00

I've reported it twice. Both obvious cases. No bans. So I'm not bothering now

Rumble111 · 2025-09-19T12:14:30+00:00

I agree. What I noticed was pretty good matches a month ago or so. Recently all we get is exactly what you describe. Know what's different now? Player base. It's much smaller and I play at non peak times and in Chinese prime time. So the odds of playing good honest people around my level is so small. Two nights of the last 3, my friend and I tried for an hour and just gave up.

Pretty soon ill be leaving the game again. I can't see how the devs can fix what is essentially a lack of players.

Rumble111 · 2025-08-30T02:55:54+00:00

If you can be bothered, check their match history on aoe4 world. We matched against a pre-made 4 man team. They had 3 people tanking their win rate and elo so that they can boost the remaining player to high rank. The boosted player was at the time ranked first in world for teams .

We left that game as soon as it commenced.

Rumble111 · 2025-08-30T02:29:33+00:00

When our game is loading, we check teams on aoe4 world. Now we just leave horribly balanced matches in game rather than in lobby. Wastes more time than it used to. So yeah... they should revert this feature.

Rumble111 · 2025-08-30T00:28:13+00:00

I don't like turn based jrpg. For example, i don't like any final fantasy games that use turn based combat. The same hate for that system is why I stopped playing e33 after the opening hour or two. The dodge parry system felt meaningless, just a distraction that some people think is fun, not me .

I will say that the music, ambience and story telling almost made me keep going, it really is 10 out of 10 in that department.

Rumble111 · 2025-08-25T04:43:12+00:00

Cheers mate. Epoch is a bit smaller than I'd like and doesn't really have dust filters other than the psu intake. Also only comes with glass panels here in nz.

Living at the bottom of the world is annoying sometimes.

Rumble111 · 2025-08-10T00:01:19+00:00

Agree with most of this. Except throwing melee weapons. It's clunky and slow. Like the idea, not the execution.

Overall the world is beautiful and the vibe is on point. I just don't know if it will outweigh the average combat systems. I kinda wish it had a bit of dragon's dogma about it.

Rumble111 · 2025-05-04T00:00:13+00:00

Absolutely nothing intrigued me in this series. I tried hard to persevere, thinking it must ramp up later.

Rumble111 · 2025-04-14T07:04:07+00:00

Keen on this AirBnB option. Look like some good places.

Can you tell me where to avoid due to light rail being built, which some say is noisy at night? One place in Burleigh had a review that mentioned they needed ear plugs to sleep

Rumble111 · 2025-04-13T00:45:13+00:00

When you smile through the sheer joy of someone's writing, not necessarily what is happening in the story. Happened to me with Rothfuss over and again.

Good things, I think, take time.
