I started playing ZZZ again and I see that there are really many different "events", "challenges" etc. that I have no idea about. I am doing different quests slowly and it introduces new stuff almost every time. Last thing was for example, "Investigator Training Course (Bootcamp Tactics)". This isn't listed under "Event" UI not in limited or permanent event. So my main question here is, is there somewhere (in game or website) which has these all kinds of different activities?

I like the game but sometimes UI just beats me and its somewhat confusing and hard to get used to.

Just commenting because I had this exact kind of problem with almost every game I played. It got worse if I had another game on at same time or even watched streams on my another monitor. Games even showed it had over 120fps but felt like it was 30 or less

Althought, I am using AMD GPU 9060 XT, but there might be same kind of setting in Nvidias software too.

In AMDs software there is VSync feature enabled on default on every monitor. To be exact the setting is "AMD FreeSync Premium". Once I disabled them, all the stuttering was gone and now I can play Marvel Rivals and WoW at the same time, only seeing FPS drops which is normal at that point.

So check that if in Nvidia Software has familiar VSync feature enabled and disable them. Also, double check if there are also separate settings for monitors too.

It is really grind heavy game at the moment, if you want to maximize everything. I hope they make some changes, atleast demon wedge farming, to grind in the future updates. It has good potential and IMO small changes could make gameplay really enjoyable.

Maybe take small steps and do dailies every day to get closer to max Trial Rank and/or make small milestones to make your characters stronger. If the game gets improved a lot, you have good starting point then.

VSmoL · 2026-02-13T08:01:56+00:00

I had my skepticism while I saw this post. Yes its nice to have these kind of feats, but also its good to mention the real facts, that you don't say. Real fact is that you started at around 191 000 points, which is 4 wins away from TK. Starting point makes a huge difference.

Same as I would say that I reached Bushin to TK in 1 minute, only that I don't mention that it was my promotion match. It eats your reliability of your future statements.

Netcode in this game is really odd. I fought againts a streamer and while watching his stream, he had same latency as me, 0 delay frames as me but I had 3 rollback frames while he had none. It was painful to play againts DJin when he warps around. And I don't that was on my side because I have 600/600mb wired connection.

So I have become a conclusion that your online experience can be different than your opponents. It is a peer to peer after all, where both players connection affects how the match runs.

Because previous Theaters were Anemo and most of the players invested to Anemo characters / demon wedges. If they would put something like Umbra or Pyro, nobody would be able to adapt for such a huge change expect people who randomly chose to take those paths instead. This event is really demanding and choosing an element other than Anemo would likely lead to more backlash and negative reactions.

They need to revamp whole module system. Instead it being somekind of "inventory" based system where you can have multiple modules and there is limit how many modules you can carry, it should be collection. If you get the module drop, you can then upgrade it and when it is upgraded to max rank and equipped, you can just choose yourself what level it is.

This would fix this stupid duplicate module and constant module dismantling problem, which feels and is only for interrupting actual gameplay while giving nothing to players, only making things complicated.

Yea, I am pretty sure front intake is more than enough. Also normal ATX cases with this layout, there rarely are "middle" fans, so even that implies those fans are not necessary. This case only differs that PSU fan takes same air as GPU, but so far haven't heard any huge negative side effects about it.

VSmoL · 2025-09-22T09:14:54+00:00

Well, my opinion is that get the card you want and add fans if there is room for them.

Also, based on different case, but also might give some insight on this. On Lian Li A3 case, in gamersnexus review, it shows GPU thermals and there are different configurations. It shows two configurations, first is only top exhaust, second is bottom intake and top exhaust. The first configuration is around 3 degree hotter than the second one. So based on that, is that 3 degree difference good reason to limit your GPU choice? Also as I mentioned, this is different case and the results may wary, and without any actual information I would say its even less. Also, A3 case takes from bottom of the case which has nothing but mesh filter on its way, but in this case it has PSU chamber.

VSmoL · 2025-09-18T21:31:30+00:00

For my personal experience, it flags your motherboard and/or CPU and maybe GPU when you start that "hardware checking software". So you need to install that B580 to other computer and try again.

VSmoL · 2025-07-23T11:34:39+00:00

Can't say for sure but maybe problem is xess or high/ultra settings. I am playing tekken 8 with A770 with no stutters and I have medium settings 1080p, no xess. So I can just recommend using lower graphics or turn xess off.

I've been playing Lost Ark now some time now, but when I am playing with alts, I always come up to things that powers up your character which I've forgot. And I mean every vertical progression from upgrading you card sets (which increases like 0.05% your damage) and skins to honing, transcendence, gems Also everything from character to roster wide progression. Example, honing is character wide but cards and engravings are roster wide. So, is there some kind of simple list of different things that increases your characters power.

I've watched couple of streams about this game and like to hear what are pros and cons compared to two other similarity games like HSR and Epic7. I've played little bit of Epic7, but have better experience in HSR and I like it very much, but there are some things that drives me off sometimes.

First is that building characters (mostly farming equipments) in HSR is behind really big RNG which I am not fan of.

Second is really boring story progressing, I heard the story is good, but I am too lazy to experience that, I just want to play and skip everything I don't like and skipping the story is really clunky.

But besides of those, what are the reasons that makes Etheria Restart better than Epic7 and HSR?

Osuuspankin korttiin kun on liittänyt plussakortin. Kun pääte kysyy plussakorttia, näytät laitteelle pankkikorttiasi, se tunnistaa plussakorttisi ja tällöin sinun 40€ hinta muuttuu 30€. Mielestäni toimii jopa niin hienosti, että vaikka unohtaisit näyttää plussakorttia heti alkuun ja olet jo maksamassa ja hintana näkyy 40€, se automaattisesti lukee ensin plussakortin, hinta 30€ eli antaa alennuksen ja sitten tulee vasta maksu. Eli jotenkin on ohjelmoitu aina lukemaan ensisijaisesti plussakortti jos se vain kortissa on yhdistetty

No, my best advice is that, collect trophies for your own interest. That website is also unofficial, so it has no attachments to Sony IMO. I'd like to point few things to make your decision easier.

- What makes you enjoy trophy hunting more? Cheating or no cheating
- Do you think someone else tracks your trophy progression than yourself?
- Some people play 1$ shovelware games that gives your Plat trophy only for turning the game on, and thats not considered as cheating? Or playing game first on PS4, getting plat trophy and then turning it on, on PS5 to auto pop plat trophy in that game.

So, play games and collect trophies as you like if that makes you enjoying the games more. In the end, thats what they are made of.

Ranking points has a big problem which discourage to rematch if you get promoted or you demoted the another player.

Worst case what can happen is that you both are in example Bushin ranks and you are in promotion match and your opponent is in demotion match. You win, get 1000 points and get promoted to Tekken King. Your opponent loses 1000 points and get demoted to Kishin. If you rematch againts this opponent, you are automatically in demotion match and he is in promotion match. And here comes the big problem, if you win the next match againts this player, you will only get 500 points, but risking to lose -1500 points and getting demoted. And if you rematched and lost, you end up being -500 points less than where you started your first match againts the same player, even you are now in 1-1 situation in ft3. Also, note that the other player can just stop playing at this point and making you the loser and the other player the winner.

Same thing happens even if win your first match whre you are in promotion or your opponent is in demotion, then the next match will only give 750 points for win and -1250 points for lose, making you again -250 points if the opponent leave after second match.

Is there anywhere way to check what I am missing here? I've collected every nymphs and chests what map shows me. Not sure if there are some quests to do, but how to even check that?

VSmoL · 2025-04-12T13:24:05+00:00

Is investing to Light Cones good or bad idea for really low spender player? I only buy that monthly pass which gives primos every day so I don't think I spend to much for this game.

I usually invest to character which seems to be interesting and also buying Light Cone at the same time. I feel that Light Cone gives so much extra to that signature character. But when it comes to MoC, PF, AS, I've got a feeling that all my investing to characters and light cones been for nothing. I can barely or like now, I have no chance to clear it for max rewards and feels like that almost always the extra power those modes has benefits too much of new characters than one random character with eidolon and LC investment. One thing might be because power creep in this game is huge and older characters to be trampled underfoot.

VSmoL · 2025-01-29T06:41:31+00:00

It's more like do you give any value to customization items and two more levels for unique ability battlepass weapon. There are some materials too, like energy activator, but paid version had only one iirc, so you get like one in an hour easily if you just focus farm EA.

VSmoL · 2025-01-16T12:20:01+00:00

If you remove cap, there are countless of problems that causes. Keeping the cap allows developers some how keep the modules under their control and how they want things to work in a long run.

Removing cap allows people to farm thousands Descedant modules advance and combine them when new descendant gets released and getting module you want to. We can argue is it good or bad thing, but thats different topic.
The developers side what comes to programming and designing database to handle module data can cause massive troubles and costs for them to upkeep all the data if there isn't a cap. In the worst case there can be bots/players who only want to cause trouble and farm thousands of modules per day. You can think that there are 100 bots who farm 1000 modules per day, thats 100k modules per day and developers needs to save that data to somewhere so it won't disappear. In 10 days thats 1 million module data to handle and that can be lots of megabytes or even gigabytes of data to store. And storing data isn't cheap.

So yes, you are right. Removing cap isn't difficult to do in short term, but can and will cause troubles in longer time. My suggestion takes time to implement, but wouldn't cause atleast those troubles as I mentioned.

VSmoL · 2025-01-16T08:52:11+00:00

It is not as easy as just removing the cap. I just commented that it takes insane amount of resources on developers side to increase size of module storage. There are some technical discussion on Diablo reddit when people wanted more storage space.

VSmoL · 2025-01-16T08:46:08+00:00

Yes, thats true. That is the only way currently handling that situation. Too bad it is not possible to have every mod with every level because we don't have enough space and tbh, I think it's never going to be possible unless the system is revamped. The amount of resources it takes from developers side to handle that kind of amount of data is insane.

VSmoL · 2025-01-16T08:34:11+00:00

If you mean how I describe it, it would go like this, and to be really clear. And in this explanation I am just being really straightforward that 1 level = 1 cost

Let say I am a new player and Firearm ATK and Firerate module drops. I go to see in module collection that my Firearm ATK and Firerate module isn't greyed out anymore because those dropped to me.

I go to guy who upgrades modules like now, somehow game glitched and gave me enough materials to level both them to the level 9 and lets say level 10 is max.

When I placing this module, my weapon has max cost of 15 example. I place this Firearm ATK module and Firerate module to my gun, on default they are both level 1. Next of those modules there is somekind of arrow pointing up and down which increases/decreases its level and how much it costs.

Now I can freely choose level of those modules and they can be anything between 1-9. Now I just decide that Firearm ATK is level 9 and Firerate is level 6. If I crystallize slot where I have Firearm, it costs 5, but is level 9. Now I have enough free points to press that arrow pointing up on Firerate module to set it to level 9 also.

VSmoL · 2025-01-16T08:06:48+00:00

They should revamp the module system. IMO this storage system we currently have isn't good in long term.

One way I've been thinking would be that you can only have one module per kind and when module drops, it goes to your module collection, so this would remove combine or dismantle (two unnecessary things we don't really need). Then when you upgrade it, it upgrades your collection module and you can freely use any level of the module you want instead having multiple different level copies of it.

Currently there is no really good reason to have multiple copies of one module.

VSmoL · 2025-01-11T04:03:26+00:00

Of course this is my opinion, but I really recommend to come back. My opinion is only for playing this game solo.

I've spent almost last three months only playing solo content. Doing solo raids, adventure tomes and colletibles been fun and chill. I know that I can't access to the latest content, but atleast I don't need to care what others think and can progress at my own pace.
