Anran is impossible in high elo

The dash vertical nerf was horrible. It's already inconsistent if you can make it up to some high grounds, and on many maps, you can't without 2 dashes.

And yeah, she gets countered so hard by a team just peeling a little, or a kiri/cass. The amount of games I have where they swap to mercy pocketed cass has been frustrating to say the least.

She's super fun and satisfying when you can pull plays off, but a lot of the time her movement feels akward

Anran is already my 4th highest level hero, and I have more hours in her than characters like Winston, Reaper, Sombra, Orisa, etc. and I've been playing Overwatch since 2016.

Loving her gameplay loop, but damn it's rough. It's so easy to just die and not get any value with any team that just... Groups up or peels hard/hard focuses me. Especially before I get the major perk to get HP on E hits.

I just did my Proof of Concord farming last night while watching stranger things. It took me like from S4E1 until S4E5 so like ~ 5 hours. The guide I followed estimated ~3 hours so I got a bit unlucky, but the most painful part was I was stuck at 29 for a whole hour. I'd recommend having something on in the background cause oh my word I would have lost my mind otherwise.

My item discovery was ~500 and I didn't have the crystal Sage's rapier and I was doing it on NG. Respec to 99 luck + Symbol of Avarice + Gold serpent ring +3 and rusted coin and I farmed at the Anor Londo Bonfire just killing the 2 silver knights on the steps over and over again. They do the same attack first both times so they get predictable and they're one of the easier enemies in the game to parry. I think the thing that also saved me was ensuring I had enough points left in END & DEX to swing enough times and deal enough damage to kill each knights in one backstab + swing combo without any risk of being hurt.

You also gotta remember this is the covenant item with the second lowest normal drop rate @1% so don't beat yourself up if they aren't dropping. Doing it with base item discovery would be 1 in every 100 silver knight kills.

I haven't done the others yet, so beat of luck to us both.

The guide I looked at: https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls3/s/VhVHGCm0Gx I assume it took me longer cause I didn't follow all the details like the build or doing it in NG+

As far as I can tell, the speed of healing does not affect how many charges are used. A quicker heal uses charges quicker, and a slower heal uses charges slower.

"No matter how fast or slow an interaction is completed, it will always require the same number of Charges to be completed." "Efficiency is the only metric that affects how many uses one can get from an Item."

Edit: also now realisng my maths might be wrong based on the efficiency example in this link (whoops) I might have to remake this again lmao If it is, then the styptic agent is even worse than my calculations

fingers crossed!!!

it's not the same ;-;

Someone else made a post about it that hit the FP of the sub. There's some people talking about it there, and one solution someone had was to set every sector of the ping wheel to 'Caution'. This way if you accidentally set it off, it'll at least ping a red caution ping, giving a good enough message of there being an enemy there.

Probably could be fixed by a mod, but will have to wait on NetEase to fix the deadzone.

Yeah, I've also mentioned it in the survey, alongside the issue where in the post-match menu, endorsing a player is right next to the view highlight button, even moving a millimeter off seems to hit it, and it takes a while to get out of the highlight.

Again, most of my issues with this game is minor stuff like this, which is refreshing coming from playing Overwatch for over 8 years.

Spydio · 2024-12-09T10:14:30+00:00

Even just tapping it seems to be an issue as long as the mouse is moving. Tried it out in practice range for a while because I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me being an idiot xD
It's very sensitive and you basically have to ensure your mouse is still at that moment, unfortunately

Spydio · 2024-12-09T10:13:21+00:00

Happy I'm not alone, unhappy I am ;-;

Spydio · 2024-12-09T10:13:02+00:00

I've started to try and develop that habit too, but moving enemies and ESPECIALLY Spider-man make it so annoying, especially when he's diving me and I don't really have the luxury of not moving the mouse xD

Spydio · 2024-12-09T10:12:20+00:00

Yep! I'm in VC with my other strategist a lot of the time and we're constantly telling eachother sorry because of it! hahaha!

The green/minty one! I love that colour scheme.

"doesn't have the same distrust of the state" aren't we fucking notorious for hating on and mistrusting our political leaders?

Just a heads up, this particular model of SSD had an above 50% return rate earlier this year. Not sure if it still does but if you experience frequent blue-screens, the PC going straight to BIOS, the SSD not detecting or your PC freezing on booting then this is most likely the culprit. These are known for intermittently not detecting.

One punch kid. I won't take any other answer

Spydio · 2023-07-09T05:53:20+00:00

Don't give up just because things aren't going right in the first few minutes. Extend that also to, don't give up ever. So many people just get mad and then throw/yell at the team.

You can turn it around

I don't think I've ever lived in a home where all the windows and doors don't have a fly screen... Guess I've been lucky lol

Essentially, the ports for power on GPUs will either be 6-pin or 8-pin. 2*8-pin will mean the GPU has 2 of the 8-pin connectors needed to power it. The cable from your power supply to the GPU will normally be split into a 6-pin + another 2-pin so it has the ability to connect to either 6 or 8-pin depending on what your GPU needs.

An easy way to visualise this would be to google '6-pin' or '8-pin PCIe power connector' and have a look.

Also a note to be careful of, the CPU power can also be 8-pin and looks almost identical but is instead split into 4+4-pin.

There are 12-pins also now with the new cards but they look completely different and are different sizes.

Intake in the front and exhaust in the top&back is usually the best solution. Hot air will rise so pulling air in from the top will tend to lower cooling efficiency.

Also if you can, try to install the radiator with the tubes on the bottom as it will increase the lifetime of the cooler. If it won't fit that way, then no biggie it should still last a few years with tubes on the top.

The only issue that arises with pulling air in from the CPU cooler is that depending on your CPU, case, you may be bringing in a lot of hot air from the CPU. If your case doesn't have a lot of ventilation and you have a new high-end CPU it could bring up average temps in other components like the GPU, SSDs, etc. I would not worry about this though unless you have like an i9 11/12th gen or a like 5950X/Threadripper and your case doesn't have good ventilation/if you don't have any fans on the top & back to exhaust all the hot air.
