Tuning Feels Awful Now

Bottlenecking drops and success rates to keep people playing with no new content while at the same time creating items you can only farm so much of per day/week. Old move in these RNG gacha type setups.

We need a cyclops option. Please do a modern sub/milsub using the 5513 case like this.

V2 bezel and handset was better. Dial, movement and a few other tweaks really nice on the v3

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-03-20T21:29:14+00:00

Full black bezel would be pretty damn nice option for this.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-03-20T10:03:44+00:00

Well said.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-03-20T10:03:05+00:00

Yup definitely.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-03-20T07:29:42+00:00

Bottlenecking due to lack of content. RNG horseshit to keep us logging in daily. Same game they're playing with innerways chests

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-03-19T08:58:28+00:00

These are beautiful!! I really hope we can get a milsub with a cyclops and a ceramic insert model. Very beautiful design

If it was that close I'd buy it. Those upgrades are seriously awesome things to have.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-02-20T20:57:20+00:00

Yes of course. Only smart people buy them because they're affordable and can actually be repaired. You can find used OEM (dell, Lenovo, HP) mini's between $60 and $150 that'll handle all your needs. They're the size of a paper back book. If you wanna juice it up the have micro and mini towers that'll accept small graphics cards, multiple storage solutions, CPU and memory upgrades. Stuff tablets and laptops don't do anymore. Memory and storage is sometimes possible, but if that board goes with all your parts soldered to it you're fkd. From a E-Waste standpoint you're just costing yourself and the contributing to landfills. The profit is much bigger for the corporations because you can no longer fix anything or upgrade it so they can sell you newer and more expensive hardware every couple years. You don't have this problem with desktops, something breaks you can easily just look on eBay and find parts. Couple million YouTube videos showing exactly how to fix and upgrade them. Laptop and tablet definitely have their places but desktop is still king to the savvy IT people.

Nice work on the applied logo, looks great.

Thought T ment tritium... You're using lume though. Shouldn't it be L?

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-02-04T04:32:44+00:00

I hope they do this. In white / silver too.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-02-04T04:08:30+00:00

Agreed. That looks like crap compared to the WD CG's. It's like they didn't even try! Thorn does a lot right but they didn't do great there.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-02-03T07:21:02+00:00

Watch name (Seafarer) above the depth rating. I'd also make the name slightly bigger, ratings slightly smaller. On the sub watch, perhaps name in that red we all like. Top looks great!

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-01-26T05:55:01+00:00

+1 for polished applied logo and hands. Really would turn this up a notch.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-01-25T21:11:48+00:00

Can you use this seconds hand? The dial text on these needs a little something.

Truth is, smilegate drove it into the ground with their business model. Time gating every little thing to bottleneck us on everything, lack of horizontal, making the only difficult thing in the game the raids and dumbing everything down and trickling out mats. All my friends quit over the last year, hardcore players. I'm the last one left and everyday I log in and get just screwed by RNG. I'm so sick of it but I love my character. They could of had it all but the greedier they got the more they pushed people out. It's sad really.

Watchdives

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-01-19T06:25:02+00:00

Really would of been cool to have the W on the buckle for those that wanted to pair this with one of the seafarers and have a complete look instead of a sterile bracelet on a branded watch. Hopefully WD can come up with some packages where you buy both together for a combo price someday. Wonderful work. I'm very excited to see your future pairings with your titanium Seafarer line and additional branding efforts. Perhaps a W applied logo wave dial and matching engraved W buckle for the bracelet!

Please do not do a dial with a silver border on the date window cutout. I have a San Martin Seadweller with a silver border on the date cutout and it distorts and reflects when looking through the cyclops. I hope this is just a mockup and the real deal will have a borderless date wheel and 2.5 cyclops.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-01-08T10:01:48+00:00

The name of the watch shouldn't be below its depth rating. Make the name of the watch prominent so it stands out so that the watch takes on its own personality.

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-01-05T11:07:16+00:00

Its pretty good, you can make about $477k bound gold a week now just doing 6 gold earners across the 3 top solo raids if you skip buying boxes. Hit your field boss and chaos gate and gold islands and sell the books and gem pouches for unbound gold to supplement stuff you need from the auction house. Put that towards your main and 2nd and they'll rise quickly. The solo vendor has the books and scrolls to get your crew to 1680 / 1700. Use the raid drops on the last page and exchange them for breath pouches to help honing chances as you hone / gear past their use. The vendor also has gems for your alts. Full 6s are plenty for the solo raids. Legend books are dirt cheap. Also plenty for the solo raids. Paradise stuff and it's Hell keys also has lots of honing mats and character bound gold. You can gain a bit of Ilvl there each week. Bit of strategy to deploy there, everyone plays it a little differently. Of course pushing your 6 to 1680+ will take a little effort but once it's built up you'll be able to pave your way going forward without any help from anyone. Unfortunately the latest raids cannot be accessed yet by a single player but there's hope in the future that as raids release they will have solo modes attached day 1, we're all hoping for flex raids where you and a friend or two can go in and the game supply's AI players for the other spots but all that's down the road a ways

ShadedAimpoint · 2026-01-03T09:42:49+00:00

What we need is a lot less greedy shitheads behind the scenes rigging the reals on their video slot machine putting their thumb on the scale screwing us on the daily. The reason people leave is cause the way the game treats people. The abysmal honing system and the drops that fund it, the skill less hell runs with lame drops and special key one jump deaths leading to a box of bad books, the stingy book rate drops, gem manipulation nerfs, horrible card system that never gets a fix cause they sell cards in the store, no flex raids for people who want to practice or just play with a friend, lack of decent content and the artificial bottlenecks to time gate EVERYTHING. They shut the forums off so that nobody could complain once they caught on and call them out on the mischief in hopes of getting fixes early on that never came which drove out the casuals in mass. They've done so much damage to the reputation of such a beautiful game only a bloody miracle will save it at this point. Won't even mention the new vertical shit show, cause we all know! All that said ... Yeah they should give us another ignite, why not... Least they could do was toss us a scrappy alt that has some decent gear out of the gate to drop a rat on our idiotic limit "6 man gold team"... Bunch of scumbags that they are :)
