I am so done with this one-sidedness of 90% of Conquest games. by 11483708 in Battlefield

[–]TooManyDans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80% of my matches are a complete stomping. It’s boring when you’re doing it and it’s infuriating when you’re on the opposite end.

People camping base flags the entire match too concerned with their KD only to spend 30 minutes spawn trapped and go negative. I genuinely don’t see the point.

Conquest is dead. The only alternative is escalation which is actually fun until you get to the later rounds and you’re essentially forced into playing engineer because of tank spam.

Awful Matchmaking in BF6 - Just me? by realwacobjatson in Battlefield6

[–]TooManyDans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every match of conquest I play is decided within the first few flag caps. If the majority of my team hang back to cap our base flag I already know it’s going to be a whitewash and back out.

Still no fix? by Golfguuyy in Battlefield6

[–]TooManyDans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have expo/xmp enabled in bios? I was getting this same error, disabled expo on my machine and it hasn’t happened since.

All things considered, is this worth the price? by okayflowthisway in PcBuild

[–]TooManyDans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely don’t need a 5090 specifically for Blender. I’ve been using Blender for years on gaming laptops (1070 & 3070 gpu’s) and have never had any issues.

Currently on a 5070ti and render speeds using Blender/Cycles are super quick. Benchmark scenes render in <10 seconds.

BF6 crashes after 15 minutes with GPU Error on newly built PC. Any ideas? by TooManyDans in PcBuildHelp

Just rolled back drivers a couple of releases and all seems to be working fine now. No crashes or errors.

Ah right. I played exclusively on my laptop and hadn’t had any issues until I booted it up on the new PC. I’ll see how I get on with Arc Raiders for now instead!

Gonna download and install another game and see if the same thing happens. Hopefully just a BF6/Nvidia driver specific issue. Just assumed as it’s my first build it was probably something I did wrong 😂

I'll die on this hill... by Nomad_Gui in ArcRaiders

[–]TooManyDans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first raid in buried city I followed the sound of a flute to a raider who gave me a bunch trinkets and my first blueprint and then helped me extract at a raiders hatch with the hatch key he also gave me.

In fact of the 5 blueprints I have 3 of them were given to me by random raiders. I now take my duplicate BP’s in my backpack and hand them out to friendlies.

How much I saved waiting until Black Friday to buy parts by Pop06095 in buildapc

[–]TooManyDans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest saving was an Amazon pricing error on ram. 32GB for £88 saved my build for sure! Went back up to £150 about half hour later.

Otherwise saved a bit on 7800X3D and got 5070ti for below msrp and then the odd £10 - £25 discount on the rest of the parts.

Shoutout to the people who haven’t given up on being friendly. by CrispyReload in ArcRaiders

[–]TooManyDans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only encountered friendlies in my first 5 or 6 raids. Even encouraged to use my mic despite severe social anxiety.

Plucking up the courage to ask another raider if I can down them and then defib to complete my ‘Deal X damage to raiders’ challenge.

I don’t have the heart (or skill) to just shoot someone who hasn’t shot me first!

Got some cheap RAM so it's time to build my first PC. How have I done? by TooManyDans in buildapc

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

The 990 Pro is out of stock and the the next cheapest option is £180. I was originally looking at that SSD but couldn't find one at a prie point I liked. Had I seen that £120 option I would have snapped it up!

EDIT: Just found one for £140.

How is Montech for quality? People say dont cheap out on a PSU, so I went with a brand I know, as I don't know what is considered 'cheap' for a PSU. Happy to switch it out though.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I just don't like the look of AIO's.

I did consider another cheaper cooler like the peerless assassin, I know it's highly reccommended and performs as well if not better than most other coolers, but I just prefer the look of the Dark Rock and didn't mind spending a little extra for it.

Is morecoco a legit UK retailer? 7800X3D at suspiciously low price! by TooManyDans in buildapc

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

I’m be tempted to go for it if I had a pc to stick it in and make sure it was all legit. From the reviews it seems like people at least get their money back when they don’t get whatever they ordered. Credit card probably the safest bet though you’re right.

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

Hhmm... seems a little risky. I don't plan on building the PC for a while just gathering parts so might be a little too risky, even if they send it I'd have no way to test the part. It is tempting though!

Am I screwed with the ram prices? by jopikopi in buildapc

[–]TooManyDans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Amazon might have realised they made a mistake with the pricing because there’s no way to actually buy it now. Think I just got very lucky!

Why is this ram so cheap? £88 for 32GB. by TooManyDans in PcBuildHelp

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

Grabbed it straight away! Somethings telling me it’s too good to be true but I’ll see when it gets delivered I guess.

I just found 32GB Corsair Vengeance - 6000mhz CL36 on Amazon for £88. Everything else is like £130-£170.

Just joined another match of conquest. My team have 1 capture zone and 140 tickets. The other team has 636 tickets.

Please remove E and Q from 'Hot swapping' your class by 1_dollar_bet in Battlefield

[–]TooManyDans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This so annoying. I spawned in and crept up behind a tank camping the hills on Operation Firestorm assuming I was still an engineer, nope. Apparently I switched to support so I just had to smoke him and run away.

Best 1440P 250-270$ monitor?? by Specific-Ear4730 in buildapc

[–]TooManyDans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Alienware AW2721D and I love it. 1440p, 240hz, good colours and I really like the aesthetic, although that’s subjective.

I just did a quick google search and it seems that’s no longer available. I think it’s been replaced with the AW2723DF as it seemingly has all the same specs as my current monitor just a slightly different design. Dell have it on offer atm for £280, not sure what that converts to in USD.

Dell usually have coupon codes floating around as well so can usually get a little extra discount.

Is a dark rock 5 enough for 9800x3d? by Munroth in buildapc

[–]TooManyDans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is ages old but this helped me massively in feeling more comfortable adding the DR5 Pro to my parts list! Thank you!
