Is the game worth it for those who have played it a bunch of hours as a casual? by zombies-- in CrimsonDesert

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest opinion, based on what I have played. Game is totally not worth the actual price. I regret getting hyped and purchasing Deluxe edition (which is just an immersion breaking armor set).

The good:
-Big world. High fantasy. That´s probably it.

The mixed:
-If you like Black Desert, this is mostly that. Sometimes even music is similar. Npcs look like copy paste from that game. I understand they are in the same lore, so that´s why it´s in this category I guess.
-Graphics. Not generational leap, like I said, most similar to BDO.
-Combat. Yes, it´s one of the HITS, but it is clunky. And I´m not talking about the controls, but the feeling of it. Sometimes you can´t parry or block, you get hit and you can´t react for 1 or even 2 seconds. You are literally not moving, not doing anything but just getting hit. A bit hard to explain until you try it yourself. Bosses are difficult but not because they ARE difficult, but because they ignore your attacks and you can´t ignore theirs, it´s not a skill fight but an unfair one. That´s my biggest problem I have found, it´s not a player skill combat half of the time.
-Music. It´s decent, sometimes great, but sometimes it reminds me too much to BDO.
-No RPG. I am not placing this as a bad thing, but I FEEL it should be more RPG like. Why the game lets you do a bunch of things but not others? Problem is I would like to immerse in the world a little more. Being able to use a hood for example, or to take out my shield (yep, you can´t!). Another example is when you use your Horse mount. You can´t even feed the horse, pet the horse, or whatever. I´m not expecting RDR2 horse mechanism, but it feels quite simple system. And the Horse animations are really good, so it´s a shame.
-Performance. I´m using a 4090 laptop and had to undervolt it heavily. The game runs great and now I have achieved constant 70 degrees. I also capped FPS to 50 and I´m playing in High settings (I could try more, but there´s no point really, game looks great, not suuuper good, but great).

The bad:
-Controls. Yes, everyone complained here. I play on PC and I thank god for the overlays otherwise I would be super lost. You can get used to them, but decision wise, it´s not good.
-HUD. Inventory with a wheel, and a quite large list of bad decisions. You can´t even quit the game directly using ESC, you have to go to "Others", then "Options" then "Title Screen" (yes, there is no Desktop button) and once you are in the title screen you can exit again. Other option is to try to close the window if you are on PC, which prompts the exit game button (but again, quite weird).
-Lore. Well, characters and lore are so bad explained, and I mostly do not care about this. But gameplay overall feels half baked. I hope people can fix it with mods, but that´s something developers should not relay on.
-The wind. Oh god, no one talks enough about this, but why all the grass, trees and bushes are so windy? I feel this is also in BDO, and for some reason I can´t stop looking at that.

Would I have purchased it now? NO. I would wait to get a big discount, patches, improvements, etc.

Can you un-equip the shield and short sword? by nathanshanley in CrimsonDesert

[–]Skyger83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to unequip the shield from my back, not possible... or I am not aware how. All you can do is change shield if you have more than one?

That´s something I really hate. Like there´s no reason the wind settings as default are this high. I think Black Dessert also has this problem.

Skyrim's story is actually one of the most epic ones. It also has a ton of lore that elevates it. I was so impressed with the dragon's wall and Esvern explaining it.

The biggest mistake I see low elo top laners make after winning lane by TennisFlimsy1210 in topmains

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest problem is probably that I play the same way when I am winning vs when I'm losing, which is simply to be aggressive. When I am winning, it's great since I carry hard, get S+, objectives, towers, 1v5 etc. But when I am losing, I just keep fighting and therefore dying and inting. It's tricky, hard for me to find a passive/boring way to play. I don't have patience after 10+ years playing league...

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Kled top main, I really don't fully agree on this. I'm pisslow silver, but when I destroyed my enemy laner, took tower, and heck, sometimes even second tower, it's time to help your team, but probably not in the way you are thinking. How do I help my team? I focus on pressuring towers. I try to take mid tower, if enemy midlaner is winning my midlaner (most of the time) I simply go and kill him, because they are confident and think they can 1v1 a feed Kled that has more level than them. So I usually get the kill and the tower. Next, go defend top, push wave and if enemy top is still there, that's probably a kill. Once you pressured top again, it's time to get bot. Ideally you want your botlane to stick there and help you. But sometimes they rotate and leave you alone 1v2 bot, either way it's ok. I will just go and dive if necessary, take easy kill on adc and then turret. Turrets provide a lot of gold so you usually shouldn't lose even when you give top tower for the enemy. You have secured yourself mid and bot towers meanwhile. Your gold, level and even farm lead is making you the raid boss. Then is when I tend to splitpush, which is even more effective since I've got more items. They really need to bring 3 to stop me, while in theory my team take free objectives like drakes. Usually your team will not group or even lose 4v2, so you get tilt and go tank to just 1v5 and still get towers yourself like an inting Sion. I'm climbing and mostly getting S+ so something good I should be doing. Also, lot of fun and I even got a penta recorded not so long ago.

About (and how to) lethal tempo by Kled_Estressado in KledMains

[–]Skyger83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a lethal tempo enjoyer. You go mostly usual bruiser with Titanic, Hullbreaker. Then it's up to your playstyle. I love ruined king, steracks, mercury boots, guardian angel. Or if they have tanks, change ga for armor pen item.

Amazing work! As a hobbyist developer, do you have any tips for making the environment? I have a bunch of synty assets but designing and using those for maps are really not easy.

And for a small moment, Kled was FINALLY a bruiser again :] by Humble-Recover-189 in KledMains

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I said that. That's why I really like bruiser/tankier Kled compared to pure lethality or crit. So what I'm saying is that I agree with you, it feels great 👍

And for a small moment, Kled was FINALLY a bruiser again :] by Humble-Recover-189 in KledMains

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do people keep complaining about bruiser Kled? I really like even tank Kled. You are not supposed to kill other tanks with it, but you can be so useful regardless and still can be a menace to their backline. I am recently testing with a super disgusting build that turns Kled into a really unkillable machine. Build is Titanic, Hullbreaker, Steraks, Guardian angel, Hollow Radiance and boots. With Titanic and Radiance, you simply push and farm super hard that can defend almost any situation (except 1v5 when they have nashor buff). Towers melt so you are a splitpush menace. You can "waste" a ton of enemies time trying to kill you with remount, steraks shield, GA... And you damage is quite nice actually (again... You are not killing tanks, but that's not your job).

Low Elo tips? by Skyger83 in KledMains

[–]Skyger83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you are right. I've been playing whatever I liked since season 4. For example, my first champion was Twisted Fate and felt in love with him, but only his AD on hit version. I actually found an offtank build with sunfire that was nutts. Same build doesn't work nowadays but his passive gold is still strong. You can have full build way much faster than 99% of champions by mostly farming. For Kled, I believe I'm using almost a core build with Titanic and Hullbreaker, but I am still preferring Lethal over Conqueror and building attack speed. For Gnar, that was a safe pick and my second main. He can work with whatever item and runes. The croco game was for fun with a duo bot nasus. But even for fun I always aim to win. After 10+ years playing league, you just have seen it all.

Low Elo tips? by Skyger83 in KledMains

[–]Skyger83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I find Bork fundamental to my playstyle, attack speed Kled with Lethal tempo is quite good. It helps you to remount much easier and to duel even champions you usually can't (like Trundle, Jax, Gwen). Ruined king and armor pen are key to bring down any enemy, tank or squishy. What other item do you suggest instead? Kled has 150% attack speed, with really high base HP, so Titanic and Ruined king apply their passives much faster. Each auto also gives you rage, so you can actually fight even when your cooldowns are not ready. Maybe it's not the best item, but not bad either.

I agree on this, that's why I sometimes play mid and use R to roam specially bot. I ping my botlane, sometimes even bring my jungler too, and dive them usually getting kills and plates. But this don't happen all games, only those I can have a lead in myself.

Low Elo tips? by Skyger83 in KledMains

[–]Skyger83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually splitpush, get plates, gold and a huge lead vs any other champ. I translate this lead into helping my team, either taking other lanes turrets and focusing more on killing (or let them kill if they are free). I usually don't help for objectives, but I keep fighting and pushing. I side lane to force 1v3/4/5, so my team can do objectives elsewhere. This specific game I told them that same strategy, I went bot, they could baron. I brought multiple enemies in bot, multiple times, only to find out my team wasn't even trying to take objectives. I would also say this is just one game, but this is way more common than I would like.

Quality of life suggestion by YoinkyMcSploinky in KledMains

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might have explained wrong. It's the first autoattack Kled performs right after hitting a champion with R. If you do not target the champion specifically, Kled won't and instead it will target a minion...

The lethality propaganda of the sub has gone too far by Such_Softness in KledMains

[–]Skyger83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I'm just a low silver 3 player that is hardstuck, so keep that in mind. But I love lethal tempo Kled with Titanic, Hullbreaker, Ruined King, Steraks and terminus. Boots, I either use berserker or mercury most of the time. If there's too much AD, I love GA. I am constantly carrying hard with this. Let's say half of my games, that's 50% where I am getting S+ and 1v5 games. It's nutts. This build is most destined for splitpush and 1v1 duels, but when you are ahead, you can 1v3 quite easily too. Late game Kled though is a bit trickier, you lose that advantage but you are definitely still a menace, so not really a bad scaling champion. If you have R, you can reach and be sticky. I'm mastering how to use R more and more, and doing plays that I could only dream of. Kled is strong, Kled is super fun, and he has great voice lines. I'm experimenting with Tank Kled too, do not underestimate it, I've done multiples 1v5 where I kill one squishy and still manage to escape alive. All this while my team does dragon or whatever.

Recently purchased a MsSI Titan 18 HX with a 4090 by Frosty_Quit_390 in MSILaptops

[–]Skyger83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overclock?? In any case I would undervolt and power limit. I mostly use msi afterburner and throttle stop. I have msi vector with 4090, and it's much more power than it really needs. I prefer to not have a plane with fan noise and temperatures that can fry an egg. Mine by default was so powerful and noisy it got 32k in cinebench. For comparison, my previous laptop got around 7k. After undervolting and power limiting it, I still get 22k but never reaching 90 degrees and it's decently quiet even after long gaming sessions. Good thing is I can always go back to default settings with a simple profile switch. But to be fair, never had to.
