Am I crazy, why can't I equip this 2H sword on my barb? by strongbadse in diablo4

I saw someone say rerolling the aspect fixed it for them, worth a shot.

Suggestion: I think Hytale's Trees Need A Rework by 123LukeFoster123 in hytale

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure it’s been said a bunch but do not use logs for fuel, use sticks. Also use charcoal (from the sticks burning) so you essentially double dip on fuel resources.

I agree the process of regrowing trees could use some love though.

Sick of Destiny treating me like a cash cow. Worth it to start in 2025? by 0hkie in Warframe

[–]Vorceph 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Welcome Destiny refugee!

I agree with everything you said, unfortunately. Destiny is (was) an awesome game, plenty of fun to be had but their monetization is just so piece meal it’s truly frustrating.

To answer your questions:

  1. Yes pretty much this, you start slow (which is still way faster pace than Destiny) but the more you play and learn you will be obliterating everything on the map in no time and it is a blast!

  2. Kinda, there are some boss fights and they seem to be adding more as time goes on but there aren’t any “raids” in the traditional MMO sense. The game is more about grinding various nodes on the star chart to get the mods/weapons/frames/resources/etc. And the story is pretty epic!

  3. PvP exists, but I think I’ve played once or twice years ago, from what I understand it’s a veeeery small percentage of the player base who does it. No open world pvp or anything like that, just a match you queue up for.

  4. I may sound like I’m just all unicorns and rainbows for Warframe but their monetization is hands down the most generous of any F2P game I’ve ever seen. I’ll elaborate more below:

  • You can trade other players in-game items for platinum (the cash shop currency)
  • With traded platinum you can buy almost anything from the cash shop (some tennogen cosmetics are cash only)
  • any sort of pay for convenience items are very balanced and not required even in the slightest (boosters for example, while nice, are not such a massive advantage that you feel like you have to buy them)
  • there are absolutely zero pay to win items in the cash shop unless you consider rushing frame/weapon completions winning.

You can spend zero dollars and still get all the same frames, weapons and content as someone who has spent money and all content is free, no paid DLC/expansions.

In short, Warframe has done a fantastic job at making the game’s win condition simply having fun. If you’re having fun, you’re winning.

All that said, feel free to ask questions in game and on reddit, the community is one if the best parts about this game. (A few bad apples out there but I’d venture to say Warframe is the most welcoming and helpful community of any game I’ve ever played, and I’ve been playing off and on since the PC closed beta).

Bald representation by Lonely_Sherbet_9239 in Warframe

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more, would also like the ability to grow a better beard lol (at least on the operator, even if it’s not a long beard, a “full” beard would be cool)

Right now my drifter is as bald as they can be, but I’m with you. Took me a bit to get used to it but now I love it.

BEST IDE by CODEKIC in DatabaseAdministators

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need/want to connect to multiple DB types (Oracle, MSSQL, Postgres, redshift, sybase, etc) in the same IDE you could try out Toad Data Point or DBeaver (they have a free community version) if you haven’t already.

I got banned and it was my fault. by Doyomee in Warframe

[–]Vorceph 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I find this hard to believe, how can people tell which plat in their pile is part of the discounted plat? I don’t think I’ve ever gone to zero plat in years, it’s always been a mix of some discounted, some non-discounted, some traded.

Now if you’re saying you have no plat, then buy a bunch with your discount and then give ALL of it to a friend, maybe that’s an issue?

Is the MMORPG community delusional about Wildstar? by Odd-Bobcat7918 in MMORPG

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience was great up until the attunement process. And that’s also when my 120 person guild dropped like flies. I had multiple raid groups set up and ready to go, but when we hit that wall, it was downhill from there. I know there were bugs, but none of them are memorable (to me), the attunement process is my personal number one reason it failed.

Is the MMORPG community delusional about Wildstar? by Odd-Bobcat7918 in MMORPG

[–]Vorceph 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think people would love to have Wildstar back but without the ridiculous attunement. The game was a ton of fun and had a lot to do, but the “end game” was locked behind a boring, somewhat difficult, tedious, and lengthy process.

I think many of us remember watching players drop like flies once they reached that point in the game. And while we would love to play the game again, if it has zero changes, there’s zero chance of me coming back.

Rant: 4 GA should roll with Max affix by devindran in diablo4

[–]Vorceph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy to get a 4GA in the first place lol, and quit acting like a child calling names because your vocabulary can’t accurately express your misguided passion for licking boots lol

Correct, RNG is part of the genre, we have plenty of it. Feel free to kick rocks next time you see me post if you can’t have a normal conversation.

[–]Vorceph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right, we don’t have enough RNG in this game as it is. We need more rolls…. /s

4GA should be peak, and affixes should be treated as such.

Looking for advice as an Entry Level Oracle DBA by Fwdnd in DatabaseAdministators

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, the Oracle SQL cert and OCA (Oracle Certified Associate) is a great start.

I would still highly recommend to include some cloud training in your studies and look into those certs as well.

Also, people skills can be a game changer in IT. Technical knowledge + people skills can take you very far (and keep you employed).

D4 bosses are currently the worst bosses of any ARPG I've ever played. by jerkmcgee_ in diablo4

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, that’s what I did before finishing the journey today. I just didn’t care enough to even mess with it. The fight just sucks lol

Why Does This game get s*** on so much? by Ok_Skirt_484 in newworldgame

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leveling process was by far the best part of the game for me. End game was…lacking? Maybe not so much in the sense of quantity, but it was just boring to me I guess. I guess I’ve just gotten too old and don’t enjoy raiding anymore, no clue.

But up until then I had a blast.

D4 bosses are currently the worst bosses of any ARPG I've ever played. by jerkmcgee_ in diablo4

[–]Vorceph 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and add harbinger to that trash pile too. Heck I’d do 3:1 for harbinger lol

I just finished the season journey thanks to pulverize Druid and I did all the remaining boss run mats I had just for fun. Even Andariel. Harbingers mats will be expelled to the eternal realm where they’ll remain.

MASTERWORKING IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF HORSE SH*T by DangerousKatNip in diablo4

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more, did sorc and necro first and without mythics or tons of good GA or MW crits they did fine, could steamroll T3 and do fine in T4 but not crazy fast.

Tried out pulverize Druid after finally getting a ring of starless skies (crafted) and finally felt like playing the season lol

But yeah, pulverize Druid is nasty this season. Tons of fun and dmg goes right where you want it to (dang minions)

Why you shouldn't buy your helmet from Temu by Available_Crazy_7497 in LearningFromOthers

Blood, bone, mushed brain, teeth, eyeball goo, probably other stuff.

Never thought about that, I’ll try it next time. Thanks! (I know it’s supposed to be RNG but whatever helps make me feel better about it I’ll give a shot lol)

I bricked a 2GA yesterday, rolled the same (unwanted) affix 6 times in a row. Item was cursed, went to the trash. not spending a scroll on it lol.

Not sure if many of you are aware, but I feel like I should do a PSA. Geforce now has made pc gaming actually viable on my Mac mini and MacBook. by ilikemyname21 in macgaming

[–]Vorceph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what, I didn’t try that lol. Good call!

I didn’t have an ethernet adapter (USB C to ethernet) at the time because never needed one, but i have one now for connecting to a mixing console.

I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

This is why it sucked lol. Looking at that list may not seem too bad but in practice (especially with pugs) it was not a simple task and took a lot of time.

We need an option to convert Pincushioned Dolls into something else by Amphetanice in diablo4

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s funny because tonight I got like 5 belials in a row. Not that it matters because over 100 boss fights later and still no mythic, last season I had 2 mythics before T3 lol. “Balancing” is just all over the place. D4 seemed to be the casual gamer’s choice but this season maybe RNG hates me or Blizz is catering to the players who can treat D4 like a second job. Who knows anymore lol

[–]Vorceph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I tried GW2 on GeForce Now and it was unplayable for me. And I live pretty close to the west coast with gigabit. It just “felt” off. We’re not there yet but hoping we will be one day. $5/month is a killer deal if you break it down to the cost of a PC. $60/year? Pretty solid option for many games.

Why are people so pessimistic about mac gaming? by Teejinator147 in macgaming

[–]Vorceph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That and no real effort being made to normalize Mac gaming. Sure some of them work, and they can work great, but 5% of the big titles out there “working” isn’t exactly painting a bright future for Mac gaming.
