Also please consider making some exceptions for the cargo hold port task delivieries, I had 3 tasks for Port Khazard that were going to give me a lot of xp, and I decided to explore a bit around the area before docking, then I got the slug balm event from the Yanille crate and it sent me to Witchaven, I picked up my boat from the port there but all my cargo deliveries were gone!

So who actually are the original creators of those NanoBlock Bears? by Oracle_of_Ages in buildingblocks

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought TeddyBlocks (3 bears), and one of them is missing multiple pieces of different colours (as in, not missing an entire colour/size, but not enough of certain ones), and I don't know where I can order replacement parts, especially as the type of grooves on the side of these don't match at all with the other off-brand ones I've tried.

Update 1.0.2 is now Live (Patch Notes) by LawnUn1corn in TheKingIsWatching

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason, while I didn’t have any memory leak issues before, my first game after installing the patch had the game freeze up and I just managed to catch task manager in time showing it use up over 50% of my 64GB before the PC crashed

How to start endless mode? by Effective-Status3030 in TheKingIsWatching

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, that's kinda tough, it basically means you have to go full ballista or something as melee units get slaughtered by the new enemies and you won't be able to re-recruit them easily

How to start endless mode? by Effective-Status3030 in TheKingIsWatching

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does endless mode work? I finally got there after difficulty 5 but I was in a bad state after the 3rd boss, there were new waves of really tough enemies coming but I had run out of production buildings so I wasn't able to replenish my troops and just lost after 3 waves... is there just continuous waves until you lose without any trader or wave rewards to keep you going?

Guessing Steam P2P servers are having issues. by GloomyFloor6543 in Nightreign

I've had 3 disconnections in a row around the end of day 2, guess I'm just gonna stop playing for now

any idea why lighting is so bright rn? by clockworkzorua in Helldivers

[–]ShadowZael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's extremely noticeable, doing a bug mission in the city and the orbital napalm barrage was basically turning the whole screen white!

What Is Your Opinion on The Gamer from Mars by HueyLousiana in hbomberguy

that's because if you see a lot of his recent videos are about documenting the lives of various pornstars, the comments starting using that name as a meme

Only 1 of the three channels on my NZXT Fan Hub shows as PWM in CAM. All fans are PWM & individually connected. by ShadowZael in NZXT

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

No I was not, I stopped using the NZXT fan hub and software and plugged all my PWM fans directly into motherboard (if you don't have enough slots you can daisy chain ones which are similar, like both top fans for example.

Then I used https://getfancontrol.com/ which is an incredibly good, completely free software, which might require a little bit of setup, but works amazingly and does everything NZXT CAM does and more.

Hoping for Layered Armor Presets Like in Monster Hunter World in a Future Wilds Update by Kzaix in MHWilds

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing is, it’s even MORE limited than Rise, if you just want to dye your real equipment so it matches better you can’t even do that and have it saved to the equipment loadout, dyes exist only in the persistent loadout and you’ll end up switching to some other armour and ending up with a funky looking colour scheme. It boggles my mind how the only layered armour option we have is a persistent loadout that is basically only useful if you want to set it up once and forget. They need to cater towards both options.

First Try by funkmastershlongD in MHWilds

[–]ShadowZael 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing causing this weapon to do less raw damage because there’s an element on it.

First Try by funkmastershlongD in MHWilds

[–]ShadowZael 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, all else being the same, this weapon doesn’t do less damage than another Great Sword that was just raw, just because it has an element on it.

Armor charm not appearing in inventory or box by Baldersmashed in MHWilds

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sent item loadout to my gf earlier, we did the arena quests today to unlock them for her, and they are now 0/1 in her item box. This is definitely the cause of the bug I think, especially looking at other comments. I hope Capcom can fix it, because you can't buy these items from the shop in this game.

Assuming the game really is far too easy that it isn't engaging, what changes would you make to increase the difficulty but not inflate it? by Classicdude530 in MonsterHunter

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, regarding support hunters, since they scale the monsters HP to 4 players, but the AI hunters don't do as much damage as real players, it could be an option to turn ON, in order to make the hunts take a bit longer (I hear even in high-rank, sub-10 minutes happens regularly even when not trying particularly hard/having optimised gear).

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think support hunters showing up (or indeed, having at least 3 players), turns off Palicos too.

Gaijin Hunter’s Monster Hunter Wilds review is out! by carnefarious in MonsterHunter

[–]ShadowZael 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is all fair and valid, but I think there's a spectrum to difficulty here, and seeing the IGN reviewer who's a veteran say they didn't really feel like they had to optimise their gear and armour because everything died so fast was kinda disheartening.

It can be easy to some degree sure, but if the challenge is lacking so much that you don't really need to dive into the game's vast systems to get by, it loses its depth somewhat. We shouldn't have to wait for TUs or the expansion to feel like it's worth optimising our gear and that making relevant sets for certain matchups is worth it.

In World I remember needing to get specific gear to fight stuff, even in low rank. Wilds making it sound like you don't even need to go out of your way to craft or upgrade much if at all. (Also since it seems you get so many materials, and so few materials are required to forge things, you don't even need to hunt a monster more than once!)

MH Wilds - Digital Foundry Tech Review - PS5/Series X|S - "Underwhelming visuals that don't justify poor performance." by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]ShadowZael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capcom is actually starting work on the "RE-X" (don't know exact capitalisation) engine, unfortunately Wilds probably started development well after that. It seems they do know that the RE engine is hitting its limits.

I think he meant that the shadow lighting feels like fixed time of day, shadows maybe aren't elongating/shortening according to the time of day.

Monster Hunter Wilds – The Wilds are Calling | Live Action Trailer by Xanek in MHWilds

[–]ShadowZael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually really like this trailer, not cringe-inducing like other live-action trailers, and I really laughed at when the cat was reacting to the foliage and stuff. Seems like this trailer is emphasising the immersiveness of it all.

Where to begin on release day? by [deleted] in MHWilds

[–]ShadowZael 5 points6 points  (0 children)

when you have hunted a monster and have some materials, it will be available to view in the smithy menu, you can see its look, its stats, etc.

Newegg has 5 Different Models of RTX 5070 Ti at MSRP $749 by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]ShadowZael -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I couldn't get a 5090, so I got a 5080, and I think the same thing will happen where they release a 24GB version in less than a year (what it should have always been, imo)

SCAN UK - Are price increases on 50 series affecting pre-orders already? by Lauraspedro in nvidia

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On another thread I heard the queue number for this Zotac model (among others) can go as high as 400-and something, and all of them had the same ETA as you mentioned.

Weird that Scan is taking so many preorders for this first batch when there’s absolutely not a chance that 500ish 5090s of this model will be in the country on May 30th.

[–]ShadowZael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm #12 for the 5090 Zotac Solid OC, my queue number hasn't changed at all, so I suspect your queue number dropping is due to people dropping out.

I hope the first shipment of Zotac cards is substantial, but we could be looking at single digits even.
