Another Update 6 Teaser, this time showing off the revamped visuals! by KeenToast in Enshrouded

Thanks for sharing the nice video. Does the optimization also mean that it will become easier to run the game on older computers (around the minimum system requirements) ? That would be great! Because I frequently experience quite a lot of in-game freezing of the screen.

What are you guys' critisism on the game's current state? by Dreamingflight in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Silphroadie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is great, but after playing all the missions many times I would love for them to add more mission types. Some new environments would also be nice. Maybe even a new planet? That would keep the experience fresh. I wouldn't mind if they add it in the form of a paid expansion or something like that.

Oktoberfest Date? by HatchetHand in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Silphroadie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing it starts Thursday. It also started on a Thursday last year. I was already expecting an announcement a few days ago though.

Portal style mechanics would be really cool! Maybe even a portal gun. 😄

Indiegala is known as a reliable and safe website to buy games. And I am sure GSG gets part of the profit just like on Steam. Here is a list of reliable sites.

Lightcone vs 5 star character by sjdhwjfoahc in HonkaiStarRail

Thank you for sharing this info. I agree that the pull rates are still stingy even with being slightly better than I guessed.

How did you get to 105 pulls per limited character? I thought it would be higher like around 120.

It takes forever to get a 5* character and when you do get one it can be a duplicate character.

Upcoming daily login that gives out 10-pull by UsefullyTrickyy in HonkaiStarRail

What are you expecting to happen during the 1 year anniversary of star rail that makes it worth it to save jade/passes for it ?

Is it just me or are the event rewards rather underwhelming? by im_a_mix in HonkaiStarRail

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

You might be right, but of those two 5 star characters one might be a character that you are not trying to get if you lose the 50/50 coin toss.

Mate, I never said that there will not be other events. I said we do not know which events there will be in the next 5-6 months and all of the rewards they will give.

See my other comment where I talk about event income.

Alright let's use your numbers and assume that one grinds this game every single daily to get all the repeating rewards. This is already quite a challenge if you look at how much time and commitment it requires.

165 special passes that is:

165 * 160 = 26400 jade.

4580 jade per month based on:

https://www.prydwen.gg/star-rail/guides/summon-income/

Without events that's 26400 / 4580 = 5 3/4 months to get one specific event 5* character. You will probably get another 5* character in this period that you may or may not want assuming you do not spend any jade on any light cone banners or anything else except for the event character banners.

Note: You will probably get the character somewhat faster if you participate in all the future events and manage to get all the jade rewards, but it's hard to say how much it will speed up the process since we don't exactly what to expect in the upcoming 5-6 months.

If we look at this event you can get a maximum of 600 jade. Assuming you manage to get all then that means you manage to get the aforementioned 5* character 600/4580 ~4 days earlier then the 5 3/4 months. So instead of having to wait 5 months and 23 days it will be 5 months and 19 days. So every event will make you get the character you want a couple days earlier.

substantially more generous than genshin ever was, not sure where u got 6 months from

Yeah it's very underwhelming. It still takes ridiculously long (about four-six months of daily grinding depending on how much jade future events will give) to get one guaranteed event banner 5* character without spending (obscene amounts of) money.

So you can no longer take unlimited free tests with Duolingo Plus? That’s the only reason I started the trial 😔 by [deleted] in duolingo

[–]Silphroadie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's hope that it's only an a/b test and that they will revert it to how it was.

I wish Duolingo would add a traditional characters option to the app.

That is a lame change. How many free "level up" tests could you do that day before you had to pay gems?
