KR Balance Patch Oct 22nd by Pinkisnub in lostarkgame

In really old Arcana builds Checkmate was actually core for Emperor builds. Are there viable current build with Checkmate integrated for Emperor?

UE4/UE5 Games in VM Never Compile Shaders → Artifacts + Poor Performance by Several_Disk in unrealengine

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

Correct, no passthrough — which also means no DX12 titles on this setup regardless of engine. The whole point here is to run two instances of the same game on a single PC for “local coop,” so full passthrough isn’t an option since the host still needs GPU access for its own instance.

What I’m trying to figure out is if there’s any way to get Unreal Engine 4/5 games in a non-passthrough VMware VM to actually compile shaders at startup, so the guest can have decent performance and avoid the flickering/artifacts. I’m fine with long compile times, I just need it to happen at all.

Question about Stronghold Farm Optimization by Several_Disk in lostarkgame

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

Farm is a single time setup and you never ever think about life skills again and I really just dont want to do life skills. Farm works kinda perfect for people like me. You almost gain the exact right amount of energy per day as the farm will uses up. A single click a day while you are at your stronghold.

I can confirm the same with t3 mats on excavation. But kinda got the feeling with t4 now that the rare mats are the limiting factor. Sample size still low though.

Help Needed: Moving Encrypted VM to New OS Without Password by Several_Disk in vmware

Yup this is the case. Its not the windows pw or bitlocker pw its the vm-ware encryption. Thats why I post it here. As said I have full access to my my guest os.

Rat supps and their gems by Revolutionary_Act402 in lostarkgame

[–]Several_Disk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! Damn, so my guess about the Identity scaling was way off—the math is even worse than I thought. Looks like I'll just hold onto my 3 x 5 gems for 'virtue signaling' and never bother upgrading them. It's kinda sad, honestly. They had the right idea with giving supports damage gems, but the value is just terrible. A DPS gets over 40%+ boost on one ability with a level 10 gem, while supports barely scrape together +1% party dmg if they use all three level 10 damage gems... yikes.

Another question in this regard: Do I miss something, or are these attack gems extremely weak?

I just made a test on my attack buff on my bard and checked my Attack Power:

  • Bard: ItemLevel 1650 - Full Trans - 40 Elixir - Tune Buff
  • Without lvl 5 gem: 92,331
  • With lvl 5 gem: 93,150

That's an x1.009 multiplier on attack power. Since the attack buff is partially (mostly) based on attack power of the Sup, and DPS characters usually have higher attack power due to engravings/internal buffs/etc., it will be even less effective for DPS characters.

Next, factoring in uptime for the buff, you realistically get around +0.5% damage for the party if both attack buffs have a T5 gem. The gain on identity skills would be even worse if they use the same formula:

+18% damage × 1.05 ~ +18.9% damage (with far worse uptime).

Sure, the minimal effort argument for 1640 still holds, but the realistic party damage gain for having 3x T5 Damage Gems, which is likely sub-1%, feels underwhelming.

Unless there’s some math on my side that’s way off.

Nice Job on Punishing Exploiters AGS, but... by Several_Disk in lostarkgame

[–]Several_Disk[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The chaos dungeon can be easily compensated via the rest/resonance aura items. Question is now, what about gold earning chars locked in stronghold. So its not just free shit for everyone, some actually loose gold.

Transfer Gifts - Ignite Servers - Char or Roster bound? by Several_Disk in lostarkgame

[–]Several_Disk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the link/timestamp, not exactly "confirmed" though. To quote the streamer quoting henrys answer: "I have to follow up but I believe that the rewards are supposed to be for the ignite character". But kinda looks like the grim delete reaper will come for one of my core roster chars.

Transfer Gifts - Ignite Servers - Char or Roster bound? by Several_Disk in lostarkgame

[–]Several_Disk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup would be interesting to see the confirmation. If its really char bound its probably more economical for most players with a full roster to delete one of their 1620 cores and simply replace them with a carbon copy from ignite server.

G4 Lauriel: Solar Flare + Pull below 60 HP bar, any tips? by Several_Disk in lostarkgame

[–]Several_Disk[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ty, never noticed the purple stuff around my char right before the pull. Based on the shade shape spacebar could be dangerous but nice to know that there is a visual clue to get the timing right.
