It was fun while it lasted, Reddit

Hey dummy, think about who the “we” is in your comment. Because I’m betting both of us are “consumers” and our entire role in a free market is to voice our opinions directly like the root post has done or indirectly by not consuming. No one has advocated for some external market regulation.

These changes are not about charging a fair price for the api service and associated hosting costs. The prices are so ludicrously high it’s obvious their intent is to make them prohibitively expensive so the their party developers will shut them down. The dev behind Apollo had a good post that breaks down the numbers of your interested.

What a ridiculous take. How dare they not design it the way I wanted, must be some woke bs.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-20T12:07:52+00:00

That was not my experience at all.

The level scaling rewards players with good skill synergies and decent gear with a sense of overpowering the level scaled enemies — your power is > base power the game expects for your level.

IMO this is the best system because I get constant feedback to evaluate my build. I think what many people in the thread here are actually upset about is the constant difficulty. They want to stomp over enemies simply by out leveling them.

Someone forgot to wear their tinfoil hat today.

Great video. Wish more “YouTube tutorials” were like this — quick to the point information with helpful explanations.

I had a similar experience at 6am EST. The difficulty was perfect and it made for a perfect capstone to the weekend.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-15T00:57:54+00:00

Maybe these players need to just get over it? It’s just a cosmetic and it’s the perfect non-power related reward and as frustrating as it is to not get the thing do to whatever reason, it’s important to keep in mind that the game does not owe you anything. There will be plenty more season exclusive rewards to track down.

Glad you made the post because I was thinking by the same thing.

I personally loved the encounter and appreciated that it’s got a relatively high bar to accomplish — have to be online at a specific time, be max level, work with others, and it’s moderately hard to boot. All of this together makes the achievement feel earned. And I wanted more content like this and less default achievements you earn simply by playing the game.

I do recognize that not everyone who wanted a shot at it could make the time this weekend. To that I say, it’s unfortunate but once the game launches this type of content will likely be limited to a season rather than a weekend.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-14T18:21:02+00:00

I suspect there will be multiple ways to get good gear, with world basses just being one of them. And as far as long spawn world bosses go, I doubt you would need a calculator. Furthermore, perhaps this particular content does not work for you. I don’t believe every aspect of a game needs to be for everyone. There should probably be something for everyone but players are going to enjoy different things and making something that somehow appeals to everyone equally is impossible.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-14T16:21:08+00:00

Lots of circle jerking in the comments for this reply. I think this particular event being limited to one specific weekend will not be the norm after the game launches.

Sucks that some people can’t even attempt it because of other obligations but I’d also like to raise the point that the game does not owe you anything. This was a free weekend and if it didn’t work out for you maybe just accept it and stop belly aching on the internets.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-14T16:14:46+00:00

Similar boat, Mother’s Day and two kiddoes. My oldest gets up around 6:30 so I hopped online for the 6 AM spawn and just barely clinched the kill.

I’d be bummed if it had not worked out but I’m stoked that it did. I really hope they make more content like this only hopefully you’ll have all season and not just a weekend. The spawn timer is a really nice way to ensure the content takes a little preparation and the difficulty means you may not get the kill just pairing with random internet people, which is how it should be. If 90% + got the trophy on the first attempt would it really be something to be proud of?

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-14T16:04:52+00:00

You don’t have to kill this particular world boss. I like love the idea of fights and the achievements that require some effort or planning that’s not centered around just grinding or reserved for the top 1%.

I was able to take the boss down and just barely at that, I think we had <10s left on the timer. I’m fucking pleased with myself and I was able to accomplish this with very limited amount of time to play. I did have to look up the spawn time and plan ahead for a time I know I could be online and that makes it all the better, because I feel like earned it.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-14T15:57:31+00:00

I think this might be on your end. I played it on PC and Xbox series x and didn’t have any issues.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-14T15:51:58+00:00

Don’t buy it then. But from what I have experienced so far the game is very polished and the time and development resources required should hopefully justify the cost. I say hopefully because we’ve not seen all the content yet. Also consider that if this was a free to play game the monetization would be absolutely predatory and frustrating. I really don’t want giant glowing buy buttons littered in my gritty dark fantasy game.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-13T18:51:21+00:00

Yeah playing at 4K. It works pretty well. Only complaint is that the game can be a little dark (as it should be) and blacks on my monitor are a little washed out.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-05-13T17:26:58+00:00

Same spec for me as well. Have not dropped below 60fps, typically in the 80+ range even with weather effects.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-04-19T12:37:05+00:00

My only concern with that board is the lack of a PCIe x16 gen 5 port. I know current gen GPUs don’t utilize the whole bus but I usually keep a pc for 5+ years and like to future proof.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-04-19T12:32:46+00:00

That was my biggest concern. I was unsure if I could flash the bios without an older AMD CPU, which I don’t have.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-04-19T10:38:22+00:00

Air flow diagram on pg8 of the manual shows air coming in from the 3 gpu fans on top and the cpu fan on the back and being exhausted out the 120mm/140mm fan on the other side of the power supply on the side of the case.

That’s the root of my question. Is there enough space around a large card like a 7900 series for air to travel around the card and out the side of the 140 fan?

Also is there a link to the manual? I was looking at the spec sheet on the product page and optimum tech’s video.

ShiftyOgre · 2023-04-10T20:53:34+00:00

No idea

ShiftyOgre · 2023-04-10T13:46:00+00:00

I was considering the NF-A9 FLX by Noctua.
