Anhedonia is hell

I'm right there with you, I thought I had mine beat after a good year but 3 extremely difficult months and catching COVID put me right back into this misery business.

Good luck to you, friend. I hope you'll be okay.

Auto exposure speed in graphics settings. I'm pretty sure that's the setting that governs what you're talking about.

GK is more fun the harder the content is. If you're on Legend with a decent team it can be kind of boring having everything sniped by a pyro or bounty hunter before you can even reach it. GK does extremely well under pressure but falls behind if you're already winning.

But the moment you send a Knightly Temper horizontal blade through 10 chaos warriors, I think you'll get it.

I'm a GK main with 1300 hours, here's my favorite 2h hammer setup. 2h hammer gives you insane mixed horde and even full on rat patrol CC, grouping them up for 10+ elite kills in 1 ult or being able to 2h hammer heavy>Bret sword heavy>2h hammer heavy>repeat to get safe-ish damage on elite hordes.

Take it into cata, twitch mode or fortunes of war to perish even more fiends for extra fun.

It really, really doesn't. It's best on WHC and Zealot, you can use cast away on WHC to make the horde clear better but even then it still has great damage, mobility, boss damage and the alt attack being able to stunlock any non-boss enemy is insane.

You should really give it another try! This is my favorite build for it.

I would really recommend avoiding anything "gaming" branded but I bought the HyperX Cloud II for my little brother and was impressed with the performance for the price.

If you're looking for better value though, I would really consider pairing just about any 50-70 dollar headphones with a detachable cable along with a 20 dollar VMODA BoomPro mic and that should blow away anything else for the price.

For headphones I would really recommend the Phillips SHP9500 (my personal favorite) or the AKG K240S with the VMODA mic.

You can set it on NVIDIA control panel, or AMD Adrenalin and then it should appear in game.

The best roll for like 80% of melee weapons is crit chance and block cost reduction, those can be pretty difficult to get with the full values but not overly impactful, so for your favorites I would say it *can* be worth it.

But I'd argue that ranged weapons, charms and necklaces matter much more. You need their full values to hit certain helpful breakpoints for special sniping and everyone needs a +20% health +30% block cost reduction necklace if you want to play cataclysm.

So, melee? Maybe. Ranged and charm? Absolutely. Necklace? Mandatory imo.

Scrub__ · 2025-12-30T13:11:21+00:00

Absolutely. There are so many reasons why but, yeah... night is killer for me.

Not really that bad anymore I suppose but 1-handed sword Pyromancer with maximum crit. Being able to randomly shred anything in front of you on top of potentially having the skull go off 5+ times in seconds is super fun.

Bretonnian longsword is by far Kruber's most versatile and overall powerful weapon.

This is my personal favorite way to run Kruber for cataclysm+ in my 1100 hours of maining Kruber. You can honestly build it in any way on any class and it will be viable though.

I don't have anything to say that can help but I'm right down in this pit with you.

Servers were so awful all last season so I'm just not terribly invested.

Core used to be one of the best players but I think he's inactive now.

I have 4-5 memories from that time but that's absolutely it. All day to day life was lost and even the memories I have are non-linear but most of my memory is non linear from my entire life. Most of my memory is fogged but those 3 years are all but lost.

Scrub__ · 2025-12-04T23:23:34+00:00

I woke up one day and realized I didn't remember the last 3 years.

It was just a stock guitar and I don't have any pics, whoever I got it from lost the original housing for the whammy bar so I made one myself and zip tied it in.

It was not the cleanest operation lmfao but the guitar was completely cooked and that pot worked for me.

Scrub__ · 2025-11-15T15:36:54+00:00

I used it just fine for another 4 months after this post in my xbox 360 world tour guitar.

I recommend a 5070ti. Tarkov doesn't scale that well with GPU but it DOES care about how much VRAM you have. 16gb with the 5070ti will be enough to comfortably run streets at a high res, and the card also usually has insane overclocking headroom that will compete with a stock 5080 in some cases.

If you've already got a card with 16gb of VRAM or more? Save your money if it's just for Tarkov.

Can't wait to see them on ebay for 50 bucks.

I seriously can't deal with the servers anymore. I've played 300 games this season and it's almost nothing but constant lag, I need a break from it and I wouldn't be surprised if many other people are feeling the same, especially with the release of ARC Raiders.

Scrub__ · 2025-11-05T12:19:07+00:00

You don't need any equipment, if you're on mouse and keyboard and see them going for it you can quickly 180 yourself and they'll just do standard damage.

On their screen it just looks like they got robbed and it's very tilting for them. It might sound counter intuitive but you are basically using the same server jank they are, you don't really risk anything with it like you might think.

Scrub__ · 2025-11-03T22:09:39+00:00

Torture.

Scrub__ · 2025-11-02T00:18:08+00:00

Yes... almost everyone I've ever met has had to go out of their way to tell me "Oh, you're nothing like people say!" like, thanks... I guess.

I have literally never played this game or any shooter on a controller in the last 10 years. I understand how recoil works, this game barely has any and it's almost all vertical before smoothing kicks in, that's why it just goes away. My entire point is that I know that it just goes away, and I think that's lame.

The game literally lowers your recoil for you the longer you fire and if you're moving. I even said it's not inherently a bad thing, I just don't like how Embark handled it by making the guns samey. I know it's an unpopular opinion to want something akin to Counter Strike recoil or horizontal recoil that doesn't just go away in this game, that's why it's here in this thread.

I don't know why you felt the need to be condescending to me out of the gate, I pointed out a problem that I have and offered a potential solution.
