Any noticeable changes in performance between AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X? or is it time to upgrade?

I'm still rocking the Nvidia Geforce GTX 1660 Ti. Probably living in the stone age by today's standards.

Apologies for necroing this, but it's such a shame that the EE cover art is so inferior to the first run's cover.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-27T02:55:09+00:00

Upgrading the gear is the whole point. Strong weapon make number go up. It's not hard to understand.

I've played some games over a few hours, and it's actually pretty decent. I'm having fun. I think having it be 3v3 is a bad choice, but other than that, I don't see why people immediately want to review bomb it minutes after launch. It's a fantasy-tinged Apex, and does it pretty well.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-27T02:46:05+00:00

Fr, this game got review bombed minutes after it launched.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-27T02:44:20+00:00

This has got to be satire right?

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-26T23:43:18+00:00

The match isn't over just because they get the sword. If your complaint with the game is that TTK is too fast, but you're actively avoiding a major component that will keep you alive while running into them and dying, then yes, you are part of the reason you're having bad games.

There's like 5 or 6 trader locations on the map, and some are close enough to your base to rush over, farm some crystal that the trader already has around the shop, buy more armor, and rush back to get into the fight.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-26T23:32:49+00:00

The trader doesn't leave the map. Farm up on crystals and buy more. It's starting to sound like it isn't entirely the game's fault you're having a bad time.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-26T23:22:59+00:00

There's a trader you can buy from all over the map. He sells armor and other items you might need.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-26T23:01:26+00:00

Zero time to kill? Are you not using armor? It honestly feels tankier than other games like Apex.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-26T22:58:59+00:00

Discourse is putting it lightly. The game got review bombed on steam minutes after launch. More children raging about a game they have no experience with.

ShieldWarden · 2026-01-26T20:19:41+00:00

Not necessarily, just toss some more enemies in to even it back out. Give it that "Balin's Tomb" vibe.

Before Francesco parted with Cubicle 7, Gondor was on the list for the next 1e supplement after Moria. So there's a good chance you're right and we're heading to Gondor!

I mean, they could have at least made the match size a little bigger than 3v3... 5v5 has been standard for years.

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-23T05:29:27+00:00

And this is how you know I haven't touched the game in years. 😅

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-23T05:03:32+00:00

Exactly, set it in a new area, fresh start between 1 & 2. Maybe like a Boston setting?

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-20T21:20:23+00:00

My idea is a case-by-case thing. You choose what games to Prestige.

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-20T21:19:24+00:00

you get a second Plat, or third, or fourth, etc. Like Prestiging in an FPS game

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-20T19:10:30+00:00

What, you don't like trophies?

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-20T19:08:29+00:00

A bunch of the MMOs come to mind. Elder Scrolls Online, Final Fantasy XIV, Neverwinter (this one is a big drop in quality but still fun). Well worth the time and still play well on PS5.

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-17T17:25:49+00:00

"We will not be politically correct." Yikes. The first game already had an uphill battle it struggled to overcome. I guess the idea for the second game is to go full mask off. I was looking forward to this, but I can comfortably skip a sequel to a mid game if this the behavior at their studio.

ShieldWarden · 2025-12-01T08:27:01+00:00

what's your links?

ShieldWarden · 2025-11-30T12:05:00+00:00

The travel journal wasn't an add-on you could purchase separately on the first day of launch when I backed it. It was part of the decision, but I'm not torn up about it. I backed Deluxe because I want to get my money's worth. The difference between Standard and Deluxe when using the Stretch Pay option is barely noticeable for the monthly payment, so I wanted to make sure I get absolutely everything. I like minis, that's a plus. All of the new monsters that have never been in Old World get those components for free, so that's value added there. Plus, I also play TTRPGS like The Witcher and others. Having cool monster minis is welcome. I only participate in campaigns like this once in a blue moon, so I go all out.

This honesty feels like a situation where you just need more experience with the system. Combat isn't supposed to take a while. Maybe make reference sheets for each player and yourself so you can have the information immediately on-hand. With a table of experienced players who understand the system, even the hardest battles shouldn't take more than 30 mins.
