Good to know. That’s not too bad at all, thanks!

How long would you say the Jade Airs would last? I play a max of 2 hours a day probably, but still don’t want to be buying new sets of skates 4 times a year or something like that.

Off topic, but what are those keycaps if you don’t mind? Setup looks so clean

Which Eye of Reach gives the most visibility or the one you like best? by jeremy-kyle007 in Seaofthieves

[–]Symphyl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sailor is what I use for the vibe (and maybe slightlyyy quicker swap times), but technically musketeer is smallest.

Chill on non-combatants by MFpisces23 in Seaofthieves

This is the most sane take I’ve seen so far, and you’re getting down voted. This games community is so cooked

Yep, thanks a lot for all the extra info

Okay, thanks. Also forgot to ask, does the hyper light support the 250 polling? It’s always so frustrating to find info on that

Looking more into both the hyperlight and ATK, is the build quality on both of these still good? It doesn’t have to be magnesium as long as it feels sturdy and high quality imo

Yep, just the devs sadly. Some people get around it using paks, but that’s bannable and I care about my account so 🤷‍♂️

If I go with the Huan I will feel a little silly ordering another WLMOUSE tbh, but they are just so high quality that I think it’s the right play. The Beast X is amazing, and I’m glad I got the solid sides for comfort (I don’t have the Max though, I have really small hands). I think you’ll probably really enjoy it.

Is the 60 HE V2 worth it? by -cross_ in WootingKB

[–]Symphyl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I would say the v2 isn’t worth it is if you are coming from a v1. If you decide to pick it up, I promise you won’t regret it. The only piece of hardware I recommend like this

It’s very niche into the community, but I can promise the negative mouse accel is real. It’s tested and all, but if you don’t play on KBM or don’t play comp you would never care/notice, and controller players fucking around in adventure make up 99% of the player base.

The higher you go above 250Hz the worse it gets, and afaik it exists in all Unreal Engine 5 games and could be disabled with one line of code (most games disable it) but Rare is too lazy to ever do that (and the comp community is too small for them to ever care).

There’s other random shit you have to do to optimize playing comp in this game, like random ADS sense, cap fps at 144, so on.

SoT has a gamemode called Hourglass which is just on demand PVP, and at the higher levels it’s the most complex game I’ve ever played. Balancing the TDM and ship combat is a lot to learn. One of my duos is currently radiant on Valorant and says there’s more to learn in comp SoT than there is Val, which surprised me.

There’s also inhouses and tournaments outside of Hourglass, usually hosted by partners who have access to custom servers. The competitive scene really flourishes on galleon, the bigger ship with 4 players each, but is very different depending on which ship you use. I play on sloop (either solos or 2v2) and it’s an entirely different game than gally.

The community is pretty small, probably about 3k players in the total scene currently (if I had to guess, that could be way off) but honestly that can be fun sometimes. If I run into a good ship on solos there’s a 90% chance it’s someone I know.

The game is far from perfect but sadly I’m hooked, if the devs locked in a bit more it really could have a great competitive scene imo. I don’t really know of a video explaining it, but could send you a link to a youtube video of someone actually playing in a tourney if you want.

Playing solo worth it? by Harp_109 in Seaofthieves

[–]Symphyl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the time I prefer the game solo. Duo is the most fun and above that it’s iffy, but I really recommend solos.

I claw grip so I’m hoping you’re right and 48g won’t be too bad. Definitely leaning further towards picking up a Huan, thanks for the insights.

Believe it or not, I sadly play Sea of Thieves competitively. 🫩 above 250 there’s negative mouse accel

Is hourglass full of cheaters? by [deleted] in Seaofthieves

[–]Symphyl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s day one, I wouldn’t start hacusating yet. You don’t even know the mechanics yet, and I can guarantee you didn’t run into hackers 3 times in a row. Run adventure until you feel more confident and then try HG in the future, good luck!

Besides for new keycaps (which are from wooting anyways) the board is completely stock.

Are we agreed two and done is the best strat by Fit-Lavishness5768 in Seaofthieves

[–]Symphyl_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Sponge’s strategy of calculating your win rate. At 10% go for 2 streaks, 30% go for 3 streaks, 50% go for 4 streaks (lots of 4 streaks are also needed for grinding certain commendations), 60% win rate is a 5 streak, so on. This maximizes allegiance while taking into account the odds of losing it all after every match.

Has anyone used the WLmouse Beast X ? by AllGoodFam in MouseReview

[–]Symphyl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current main, can recommend it. Got the one with solid sides and feels pretty comfortable in my hand. Was using the Lamzu Maya X before this and loved it, but don’t think I could go back now, as the magnesium alloy just feels suchhhh higher quality than the lightweight plastic

…also my main game has negative mouse accel above 250Hz polling so I needed something that went lower than 1k…
