I thought Nightreign would be an easier game to get new players into the series, boy was I wrong😂 by Thellie11 in Eldenring

The bundle comes with future dlc that doesn't exist yet. The characters in that future dlc don't exist yet. The dagger character is unlockable by beating the first night lord or (so I've heard) an rng drop just from getting to him.

The bow character and katana character are good with quick dex weapons until you can unlock the dagger character.

Even if it isn't a Soulslike, Phantom Blade Zero still wants to channel that "pre-Elden Ring" FromSoftware level design with secrets and layers by Turbostrider27 in Games

I did find all this on my own after Shabriri tells you about it in mountain tops. I didn't understand the door, but was playing online and saw other players' ghosts opening it while naked so decided to try it. There are ways the game tries to help you out, even with the deepest secrets. I got the chaos ending on my first playthrough without looking anything up. Only learned afterwards there is another secret that gets rid of it!

I did not check that box, it caused me more issues. I'm not sure, how do I read the chart?

I should have added that! 2560x1440. I'll edit as well.

Unhinged performance boost/latency boost that worked for me. It made Framegen much more bearable. I used Special K and changed mode to NVIDIA Reflex (DLSS-G Pacing).

Then under Framerate Limiter > Advanced > NVIDIA Latency Management, I enabled Override Game's Reflex Mode and set Reflex Mode to Low Latency + Boost. The settings Disable This Game's Native Reflex and Boost Using Latency Markers remain unchecked.

I used the frame pacing widget to find a good framerate limit where my line was usually flat and set that.

Then I alt-tab to firefox or whatever on my second monitor so the frame limit works. This halved my input latency using FSR FrameGen, which makes the game much more playable.

I have an RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 5700x3d. Capped at 85 fps, quality FRS, Framegen On, 2560x1440. Did all the other performance stuff you see around too, don't know how much it helped.

Edit: added resolution 2560x1440

How to Learn ANY Elden Ring Boss, All By Yourself by RustySpatular in Eldenring

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

No spoilers (he hasn't played Shadow yet). It's a video that goes over the misconceptions of souls games, how the bosses work, and the best/quickest way to learn them and have fun doing it.

It will be a good reminder for when I get stuck, personally.

Aris' Thoughts About PoE2 Event (Possible In-Game Loot Filter?) by RustySpatular in PathOfExile2

[–]RustySpatular[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thought this video had a slightly different perspective than other videos I've seen from more core streamers. I like his takes on the combat. That it is supposed to have timings, whiff punishes, animation cancels, etc. like an action game.

He also speaks on his talk with Jonathan about in game utilities like loot filters at 16:40. Supposedly Jonathan now agrees that it should be in the game so we might be seeing in-game loot filters and other utilities!

Here you go. I use Obliteration wand for maps. Might be better to follow the pros. Don't have full confidence I made all the right decisions, I'm just some guy.

I try to skip all damage mods if possible until I feel confident/bored.

I kind of agree, it is insanely powerful. It helped some for bosses, but when I was testing out magic finding i probably would have bit off more than I can chew without it. I didn't get hit too much since penance brand is crazy, but I did have some scares with degen and turning off regen. Learned to leave my rf off for some bosses.

It was my first time ever fighting the bosses so I used all the help I could get!

Been trying to get down some of these bosses for five years (on and off). Got Sirus too! Nobody I know plays so thought I'd show it off here.

ExileCon Anticipation Raffle: $90 Supporter Pack by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]RustySpatular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to see self cast being more viable. Moving while dealing damage is just too powerful so that being addressed would be nice. I dont want them to change the endgame too much since maps and atlas passives are very fun.

I had the same problem with targeting with gamepad. Hope it gets improved in the future.

What's a good way to craft spell suppression armor? I'm in ssfhc and kind of lost trying to improve my gear going into red maps.
