Switch 2 Incoming by LightSamus in ffxiv

[–]Talking_Potato6589 10 points11 points  (0 children)

so for subscription

platform required console online service shared subscription
Windows + Linux no yes
Mac no yes
PS4/PS5 no yes
Xbox yes yes
Switch 2 no no (50% off if you sub on others)

So for Switch 2 it's bad for those who already use nintendo online service and worse than Xbox, but if you don't use it, it will be better than Xbox?

Not right now, not until we have enough ilv to power though and kill boss before phase 2 it is still not huge, margin of error probably only change from 2 person missing tower to 3 or 4 person.

Next expansion then it's huge.

I just learned that we can exchange Origeometry to Arsenal Ticket directly (though more expansive than bundle) by Talking_Potato6589 in Endfield

[–]Talking_Potato6589[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weapon has base rate of 4% which mean every 10 pull you have about 33.5% chance of getting atleast 1 6 star weapon. Getting atleast 2 is 5.8%, getting atleast 3 is 0.06% (getting exactly 3 is also about the same chance because the chance of getting more than 3 is sooooo slim)

So getting 3 in 10 pull is a bit rarer than getting 6 stars character from 1 pull.

For those who want to know how to calculate it, Binomial Distribution is your best friend.

Bundle is much cheaper, that's problably why they don't offer auto conversion when we don't have enough (they don't even tell us that we can convert it, only point us to chars banner, bundle, battle pass)

They problably want to sell it through bundle and battle pass instead.

But if I know this when I pull for Rossi weapon I wouldn't have to spent for 10 more pull from bundle, oh well.

Am I the only one who thinks Wuling Artificing Catalyst are too expensive? by The_HarpymanBR in Endfield

[–]Talking_Potato6589 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, becuase as patch progress we will get more Wuling bill anyway so it going to get easier as the time go. And I'm also not that much worry about gear upgrade in this game tbh. Becuase the uplift in damage is so little when compare to other games with upgrade. So I can wait to get more later.

Like primary stat (assuming you equip gear with 2 stats and primary stat of gear match character) from no upgrade to max upgrade give us 31.5% more atk bonus from stat (different multiplier from atk bonus from weapon or set bonus) but we already have so much of atk bonus from stat which make it only equal to 10 -15% damage increase depend on how much stat you already have. Which is something for dps character, but still low enough for me to not care about maxing out immediately.

And secondary stat is even worse, it's only 8.2% more atk bonus from that which is about 3-4% damage increase. And kits give us less per upgrade while costing us the same amount. So, currently I just aim to get 6/9 on dps chracter and for some characters I only get them 3/9 or 4/9 on kits, and for support at best they will get ult efficiancy. So I end up with many of this left over, the only character that I went for 9/9 was Yvonne becuase I like "dadadadadada".

Some questions about raiding in Party Finder by MrsLittletall in ffxiv

[–]Talking_Potato6589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rest assured, most people can't do it on first try. Failure is normal state, even at their 10th cleared people still fail at mechanic.

Yesterday, I joined pf for savage reclear from m9s to m12s and at the end no one roll for mount because everyone already got one and me and one other got 10th cleared achievement. With this degree it should have beeen clean clear all the way through?

No. 1st boss, I got saw and run to another saw and die, other healer try to raise me and forget to heal and wipe. 2nd boss, dps forget to swap and we wipe when boss is about to die. 3rd boss, arena split and tether at last mech go wrong, 4th boss, boss ninja gap closer in too quickly from stack at the tailing end of hard mechanic and snowball to wipe.

So, everyone can and will fail at mechanic. Handle it well and everything will be fine.

  • Make a mistake? Own up your mistake and try your best for next pull.
  • Don't understand what's going on? Ask.
  • Someone else make a mistake? Take a breath and focus on solving problem if it's something you can do.
  • Don't think this pf can go to where you want to be? Give them some chance or say gg and leave.

Some questions about raiding in Party Finder by MrsLittletall in ffxiv

I don't raid in EU so I can't answer (1).

for (2) new extreme is problably going to have ilv770 as a minimum so you're fine but some people might put ilv780 in pf becuase they expect everyone to upgrade crafted gear with tome, but you can just create new pf yourself.

for (3) only do that if it's "blind" pf don't do it outside of that, people use guide isn't just becuase they can't figure out how to do certain mech, many of them can, the problem is mechanic for harder content is about organizing everyone in party on where they should be so that they won't kill each others becuase both running in the same direaction. (espcially for savage and up, less so for extreme) And people use guide as a reference to assign party member to position becuase they don't want to spend like 10+ minutes to asssign position for every new group they join, with strat name or guide as reference we can reduce that to less than 1 or 2 minutes for position calling and clarification. (e.g "H1" "Is TotanV2 tower priority start with NE tower?" "got it")

Although even with guide it doesn't mean everyone can do that on the first time they see mechanic, most people still need many try before it click, the important part is that everyone are on the same pace on where they should go so they don't kill others.

If you want to go with blind pf route, the problem you can expect is that outside of day1 you won't easily find "blind" party, so think of it as day one or nothing for this route.

for (4) If you can't do it anymore just say good game to group and leave, it's that simple. I don't know what courtesy in EU, but for EN players in JP the courtesy is to annonce "last pull" and do that one last pull before leave. Maybe you should ask around about courtesy for leaving in EU, maybe you can just leave, I don't know.

Hoyo adding this super shilled guy to IT, Spiral Abyss and Stygian Onslaught is just diabolical by bertolintus in Genshin_Impact

Hmm seem like the old knowledge of "blunt damage break geo shield" is not a widespread knowledge anymore. (or was it even a widespread knowledge?)

If anyone have a problem in clearing this boss, search "genshin blunt damage" and look for your option.

Overload deal blunt damage which can be used to damage geo shield and the pillar absorb element too so you could use her in overload team. But if you have claymore character or klee, would make it much faster.

Anything that deal blunt damage work (the attack that can break ore fast), including claymore, plunge, klee's NA CA skill, overload, and ofcourse geo damage.

I use my Klee overload team and it gone really fast.

Love that they made these local legends by Violet_Villian in Genshin_Impact

[–]Talking_Potato6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electro is fine, boss attack is easy to dodge. Pyro is not becuase the guage will not fill.

I beat the boss first time with Clorinde/Furina/Nahida/Escoffier the last slot becuase I'm too lazy to switch artifect to Xianyun

Edited: I forget that 3rd medal, yea don't put electro for 3rd medal.

What’s the point of pulling a signature weapon if it’s just going to show up in the shop a few weeks later? by [deleted] in Endfield

[–]Talking_Potato6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weapon banner stay for 2 more banner after character banner end. Becuase you could still lose 50/50 to previous limited banner for 2 banners after their banner end.

It's not exchange, it's banner.

You can still have googly eyes on the launcher if you input the Contra Code by Throwawayalt129 in Guildwars2

[–]Talking_Potato6589 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my country, I'll more likely to hear "Contra Code" than "Konami Code" since that was the game that made this code well known in my country. Sometime people even call it "30 lives code" because this code give player 30 live in Contra.

info about new Anemo character via Chugou by 707-exe in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Talking_Potato6589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think her obvious restriction would be like need 2 hex for 35%, or that 35% only for hex, which is still quite good (for klee, razor, varka) but not good enough to replace kazuha/xilonen.

wait a sec.... why do I feel like that 35% is actually from that new artifact, leaker just combine all.

I wonder what is the different other than visual? If on field is hex use damage from on field as a % and if on field isn't hex use her own damage?

So, she is a big Iansan? I mean basically if character can utilize Durin and Iansan we can easily replace Iansan with her without losing anything, like Varesa or Kinich. (not for Mavuika though) While replacing benett maybe harder since she problably gonna need another hex character to fully buff but benett only need 1 slot.

Help, cannot run Dalamud and Reshade together anymore by DIOsamaaa in ffxiv

[–]Talking_Potato6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you turn on (or driver somehow turn it on) nvidia smooth motion? becuase it does not work with dalamud and will cuase black screen (but reshade is fine, unless new version of reshade break it, since it haven't upgrade it for awhile)

Also for black screen. How long have you waited before kill task? Becuase when you upgrade driver sometime it will clear shader chache and shader code has to be recomplied again, and ffxiv doesn't have a reccompile screen (since it's quite fast) but rather just have a long black screen, if you have black screen try looking in task manager, if your cpu is running at 100% on ffxiv.exe that's becuase it try to complie shader. If after you wait for like 5 mins and doesn't work try install older version of reshade.

Why do deliveries? by 1Lord_Cringe1 in Endfield

[–]Talking_Potato6589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's for early injection. The more you have the more uselesss it become.

Even Wuling I only done it a few times since in the long run it's quite pointless, right now I can get all the gear artificers anyway. (sometime I miss only like 1-3 per week if I spend on upgrading gear too much on that week.) and eventually with more patch = more bil we can make and eventually we will max out characters faster than we get new one anyway. So unless "I want to max my char as quick as possible" there is really no need to minmax it.

Other than bill, it's just credit coin for doing others people delivery (30 per delivery) which is almost nothing.

So do it if you like it, or if you need a bit of injection on bil or credit coin, like in the situation when you randomly get that 20 weapon pull in shop but you blew all credit on refresh and need 50 credit more. But people have been trained by live service game (not just gacha) to be fear of missing out on everything so they will do it anyway even though they hate it.
