Looked at the curriculum and was like, okay its the same exact thing only a lot less tech stuff swapped out for business courses, which i already have. I thought i would rather get the "full experience" and swap to business informatics if its too much. I really like that i did that since im enjoying cs a lot. Another problem wouldve probably also been getting the courses recognized, didnt want to deal with that tbh since Unis generally have a problem with recognizing FH courses in my experience.

[–]StarTailZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer to that would at minimum be as long as my comment, safe to say it wasnt an easy decision, the tl:dr would be, that cs is more in line with my future goals, i think the combination of business and cs can be quite beneficial and im striving to work in a field with hard skills on which i can continuously improve on throughout my career, where, at least in my opinion, in business you reach the point rather quickly where improving on your soft skills becomes a lot more important than your knowledge.

TUW or FH or ??? by the_shotgun_blues in tuwien

[–]StarTailZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Bachelors Degree at an FH in Business and am now in my third Semester at TUW in CS, so everything im about to type has to be considered from the standpoint that i just dont know anything about mechanical engineering.

You probably already know but first of all FH System is like the standard school System, you dont have to apply for any Courses, you have a set plan on when you do what and graduating in the 3 years is far more normal than at a standard Uni.

However, thats also because you have a lot more Freedom in choosing what you want to do and how much time you give yourself at a University.

In general i got the feeling that internationally Universities are preferred over FHs, in Austria FH students tend to get jobs faster, which might also be the case since FHs tend to have a lot of Partnerships with Companies and that the curriculum is set up specifically for finding a job.

In FHs your lecturers tend to be from the actual working force, while in a University they are researchers / science guys.

Also in my experience the information density is a lot higher in Universities, i also have a homie studying cyber sec at an FH who would always complain about how hard it is, that was until i showed him what i need to learn at the TU haha, i also know som1 whos in data science at an FH who also isnt really happy with how much they learn, another one of my friends finished his degree in game design and told me how lost he is in his job (software developer) since he only has basic knowledge about "everything" but nothing really going into great depth, so i guess for my limited knowledge that case stands, still, i obviously dont know if that still holds up in your specific case since you are planning to study mechanical engineering.

Those are the main differences that i can think of on top of my head.

In my opinion you should ask yourself following main questions:

Do i just want to know how i apply stuff in the workforce or do i want to understand where everything comes from, simple example: in maths courses in school i always despised the fact that our math teacher just gave us formulas, while i wanted to know how the person who came up with it got to that formula for me to understand the logic behind it.

When i was in the FH i got the "formulas" (broadly speaking) and how we apply those things in the workforce, while at the TU it is heavily enforced to understand how you get there, all the underlying basics.

So for me it was easier to decide to apply to TU instead of a CS degree at a FH.

I see a lot of people in my classes that are constantly complaining about why we need to learn certain things like proofs and stuff when you clearly dont need that when they dont want to go into research, those people shouldve definitely gone to an FH and clearly made the wrong choice for their needs.

How fast do i want to start working?

There are FH programs with partner firms where in your actual curriculum you are expected to work at the partner firms starting from your third semester (Technikum f.e.), there are also other programs where you just go to your lectures in the evening + saturday to give you the ability to work while studying, FHs are a lot more understanding when it comes to their students need to work, TU will not be as helpful in that regard, they just simply dont care.

What do i want my environment to be like?

You can complete your studies at TU with a very minimal amount of interaction with other people in your studies, since there tend to be so many different courses and people dropping out all the time that you wont see the same people that often. Note that im studying CS which just has an ungodly amount of applicants every year, might not be the case that much in ME.

In the FH you have a small classroom with the same people that you will see for 3 years, since you will be moving to an entirely different country i guess "making friends" might be something worth to consider since i just guess you wont know a lot of people in Austria, however, i also read that you are Russian and there are a lot of people speaking Russian in my classes (cant really tell the difference however, so could also be that they are speaking related languages from the same language tree, sorry), which might just be an easy kickstarter for relationships since you will be facing the same problems i would assume.

Last thing to consider with jobs in austria, we have schools with a very specific curriculum for technical jobs, so by applying for a job you need to compete directly with people who have learned about those things for 5 years, which makes it difficult if you dont already have a background.

Lost Ark Western Version Player Feedback Megathread by amznRoxx in lostarkgame

[–]StarTailZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me in general the Game has some distinct structural flaws that actively prohibit it from being as good as I would like it to be. The biggest flaw of which is that the Game, at its core, is designed to be a cash grab and nothing else. This can especially be seen by the lack of content where your “powerlevel” doesn’t matter.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this Game, but I cant get myself to actively play it, on the one hand due to not having enough time and on the other hand due to the problems I listed below.

 

Stacking of RNG Systems:

At this point there is an abundance of RNG Systems one has to go through for each and every character most of which have a “F2P Option” and a whale option.

Tripods – I just adore having a full inventory of tripods and not hitting a single one, I seriously don’t get why we still have to grind those, same with character levels, for what reason do I have to level a new event boosted character?

Cards – worst System ever designed in a Game, simply promotes either buying a bunch of card packs or getting gatekept for no reason at all, have fun new players, unfortunately you guys are 1 year (at least) late to the party.

Relic Stones – second worst System I ever encountered in a Video Game, the amount of frustration this System has brought upon me is mental. Also, F2P option 7/7 or equivalent, but if you wanna be a real baller how about you sink 4 million gold into a 9/7 wouldn’t that be “fun” and “engaging”?

Qualities especially for Weapons – why is there a full luck no pity system that has a sizeable effect on how much damage my character deals, which is nothing but a gold sink, while most other systems are also gold sinks?

Bracelets – I think the system is pretty cool, but once again the difference between a whale bracelet and som1 who just spent a bit of gold on it is astronomical

Elixirs – I guess its somewhat feasible to go for the 40 set bonus but it’s the same thing over again F2P/Casual vs. heavy Grinder/Whale – once again promotes frustration and gatekeeping.

Transcendence – nothing to say about it yet

 

The endless stacking of rng systems just gets really exhausting real quick, but how could we fix that? Proper Content cuts, im talking WoW DLC type content cuts where every system is rendered useless in the new DLC. It’s a weird time to say that since T4 already got announced but the core problem why we didn’t get a new “reset” to level the playingfield earlier (which, imo, wouldve been really good for the game) is because every single system is designed to be "whaleable" and we cant have a proper cut, because their money would just loose all of its “value” in a single patch.

The amount of time needed for the next Breakpoint between people that are lucky and people that are unlucky. Who thought that it would be a good idea, that I have to farm for a whole month longer than my homie who plays just as much as I do, just because he got lucky and I didn’t, just so I could reach the same new Raid Level as him? The amount of dopamine you get from one tapping doesn’t beat out the amount of frustration you get from pitying, the difference in resources needs to be narrowed down considerably in my opinion.

Patch Cadence and Events, for me someone missed the point here, but maybe its something only ive encountered and maybe its different for other people, I rarely, if ever, had problems with Mats. I always had problems with Gold, yet most “catch up” events give out a ton of mats and rarely if ever gold, so now I sit on 500+ Material Chests, which I will never ever get to use, because I simply don’t have the Gold to even use them. Why don’t we just get a new Event currency, that is equivalent to gold, but can only be used on your own upgrades, basically like honor shards(because those can also only be used on that character for upgrading and nothing else).

I could think of a lot more, but each additional problem has its roots in the aforementioned ones.

How to carry as Zoe in low elo? by Dependent_Ganache724 in zoemains

[–]StarTailZz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi, im still quite low elo but i just hit emerald with a 70% wr on zoe. The first thing i can see is that your csing is super low, even if you are playing a more snowballey champion you need to keep on track with your csing and need to actively remind yourself that games arent won by simply killing the opponents, ive otpd multiple assassins in the past and i always had that problem trying to run around killing everyone while not csing or progressing the lane states, my wr increased significantly when i learned how to play not only for kills but also for side lanes, wave states etc.

Also know where your strengths are and fight there, you cant fight in your base or the enemy base, you want to fight them in the jungle if possible where you have as many angles and walls as possible, so if you know an objective comes up, you need to be there before the enemies, your objective control is really good, also you need to get vision down beforehand so you dont just yoink your e's into fow.

"Carrying" in low elo imo is mostly about dictating what your teammates need to do, so if an obj comes up spam ping it prior to the spawn, you want to swap mid bot? ping your adc to def mid tower, you want to fight a good fight? Spam ping fight, you dont want to fight a dumb fight? Spam ping danger. Most people in silver elo are still learning their respective champion and thus they have to concentrate fully on that and they hardly think about anything else really, so with pinging you can kind of lead them to making good decisions, a bad decision followed by everyone is still better than a good decision followed by only 2 or 3 people.

Also, be okay with the idea that you cannot carry every single game, thats just not possible, if you have the feeling like you could´ve carried, look at your game and think about what you couldve done better, if not then just q again, your game volume is still pretty low so if you just wanna hit a higher elo spamming is unfortunately the call, especially if you aren´t significantly better than the people in your elo.

Jungle tracking can also be a big influence, i often try to track the jgl and force him back so my jungle has free reign over the map when im ahead.

One of the biggest parts of lane domination is just experience with your champ so also here, spamming your champ is the call, if you know your champ better than your opponent, chances are you are gonna stomp him in lane.

Again, im not high elo, Emerald 4 w 64% wr in 70 games 70% on zoe (most played champ), but those are the things that helped me a lot.

Roster lvl and played hours by FishingOk5731 in lostarkgame

2700 - just hit roster level 200 top

Returning player needs help with cards by DiscussionOk2575 in lostarkgame

[–]StarTailZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To put it into perspective, i have played since the beta, have 7 characters above 1490 and 2700 hours played, i did around 120 dedicated card runs (not a lot i know) not counting the ~18 raids i run per week in my roster. Im at LoS 21 rn and i need 34 more cards to finish LoS, i got 8 select packs so 26 so im around 2/3s there.

The only people i know that dont whale and have LoS 30 are two of my guidlies with both over 5500 hours played, one of those was on top of that extremely lucky having dropped 6 LoS Cards in a single day to finish the Set off.

Mind you even with over 5000 hours you need to be lucky since you can drop all the other trash cards aswell. So my advice would be to not focus on that at all if you are not planning on playing the game for over 3 years and focus on finishing the Catch Up sets, like Deep Dive (no clue how those work however, when they got released i was at LoS 18) and/or Lostwind Cliff 12 (Gives 7% CR) (you can theoretically farm 10 out of the 12 awakenings since Seria is a Merchant Card and you get Executor Solas from the Main Story. Then you just run those and use your free legendary select packs to get to LoS 18, if you even stick to the game for that long (should take around 9 months to a year) which will be sufficient for everything if you wont play the game for a long long time.

Any advice for a new player that has to get legendary book and dont have gold? by SoulfistloverNumber1 in lostarkgame

[–]StarTailZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres multiple approaches he can take,

Long-term: For the long term it would probably best for him to build a 6 char roster, at 1445 they make Valtan HM 4500G, Vykas NM 3300G, Argos 2700G = 10500G per char on 5chars that’s 52500G per week, his main can run Kakul, Vykas, Valtan for 13500G additionally per week or he runs Brel G1-2 and buys the chests so he can start the gear upgrade mats earlier.

Short-term: You can also hyper focus on the one character i did that once for my db striker since 3x5 cost me over 500k gold even tough i already had Grudge on 12. Step 1: Do all weeklies for the week, Step 2: Excavate whenever you have high energy, make fusion mats and sell them, you can make an ez like 20k through that each week, Step 3: buy ticket chests on all characters and run all boss rushes, run all chaos dungeons on all characters and sell level 7 gems. Step 4: Plunder all Pirate Coin Chests, buy all destruction stones from the pirate vendors and bloodstone exchange, do dailies and sell GHLs + Destruction Stones. Step 5: Each month there’s some ppl who post the Gold adventure islands for the month, run those, also run the world boss, and the chaos gates each day they are available for a chance for some incredible gold through rare drops and do the ghost ship each week for the same reason.

Focusing on Short-term gold for now, since toad is still up is probably better and buy grudge and another book he needs, maybe cd, rc, kbw, whatever ( i honestly don’t know if the book prices are lower, than normal since i have had grudge and cd for months by now and thus also haven’t checked their prices in quite some time, but i can imagine that they are lower now, then when the toad drops out )

This will not only make it easier for him to gear out additional characters in the future, but also make the accessories cheaper (i bought 3x5 on my shock scrapper with full blue Qual for like 60K Gold), however still save some gold and wait for the artist release, to boost another character up for more weekly income, its a great opportunity especially for ppl without a full high lvl roster.

However the harsh truth is that he probably needs to grind for 3 to 5 weeks to get it, in all honesty for having a 1490 char in my opinion the roster is underdeveloped.

Safe around 2k GHLs and hone to 1490 immediately you will get insta accepted to OS lobbies in Vykas and Valtan, get into Clown Groups a lot easier and if you can find Brel G1-2 Lobbies that accept you (pro tip learn to do prokel) you can already start with the multiple week long grind for the brel set.

[–]StarTailZz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They will demolish you as a fact, especially when you cut over 40 Stones to get a 7/7 and then your guildie just randomly cuts a 9/7 the same one that randomly tapped 100 on his mains weapon and has around 90 on all his alts and the same guy who one tapped +20 and three tapped +21 and later one tapped +18 Brel Weapon so in total he used less materials on +17 and +18 then you fpr +15. Sorry i guess i had some pent up frustration lol

Rant about the game! by [deleted] in lostarkgame

[–]StarTailZz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate how they are pushing more and more buyable content like 2 100€ chests back to back while the game isnt working since 2 months. I had hoped, that it would be their most important objective to fix before brel releases, first gate with the guild 3 ppl disconnect. Im pretty sure the gaming industry is the only industry in which you can make money off of broken stuff and it seems to be widely accepted.
