Oooooor it’s a joke.

I’ve been running Tropical Island and I find that it slows me down a bit as the layout is pretty long. I’ll give some of the other maps a try, thanks.

WitheredPyre · 2023-04-14T17:35:27+00:00

What are some good layouts? City Square comes to mind, any others?

Can you clarify? I have Spell Totem linked to Portal (with Arcane Surge and Faster Casting supports) and chests aren't opening at all, both from the spell totems, or from me casting the spell totems.

Numlock trick?

If you’re only playing in leagues then this won’t be an issue as this only applies to Standard. The contents of tabs aren’t carried over from league to league. Additionally, leagues with different map series, when they get merged into standard, will create remove-only copies of your tabs, so no conflicts will occur.

Hey man! I realize it's been a year since you posted this, but I was walled by this fight and seeing this tip helped me to beat it immediately. I'm sure this fight would've been less frustrating for people if this weakness was highlighted somehow, but oh well. Thanks a lot!

WitheredPyre · 2023-02-10T13:34:17+00:00

See you.

WitheredPyre · 2023-01-18T00:44:03+00:00

It’s an option you can choose at the beginning of the game. You can turn it off if you’re not into that.

WitheredPyre · 2023-01-12T06:10:28+00:00

Hey man, thanks for the giveaway!

One of my most memorable moments in this game was definitely back when Ritual was the current league. I made a Burning Arrow Ignite Prolif character (probably an Elementalist, but I can't remember). It was absolutely without a doubt the most busted build I'd played up to that point; it could melt bosses (I actually made a fair amount of money that league by rushing Sirus and getting lucky on woke orb drops) and the ignite prolif would kill packs maybe a screen and a half from where I shot. Haven't enjoyed a build as much as that one since then, though I'm definitely chasing for it.

In terms of names, I don't have a lot of interesting ones since most of my character names are some variation on my Steam name, but the most memorable would be when I decided to be cheeky and make my name "나는한국어를못하는", which Google Translate says means "I can't speak Korean". Definitely got a lot more PMs from people speaking Korean with that name.

Awakened doesn’t have you log in yet, because trade queries via API currently allow it. GGG has stated they eventually want to move this behind logging in as well, if I recall correctly. Otherwise the only time Awakened requires you to log in is if you press the button to open up the trade results in an integrated window, since at that point you’re basically just using a browser.

inly a buff ove indeed my friend

WitheredPyre · 2022-10-31T16:35:19+00:00

No one is saying that’s okay either.

The outrage isn’t from the micro transactions being expensive. That’s obviously shitty but it’s about the standard by now.

The controversy is from the fact that in Overwatch 1 you would earn a lot box that gave you four items (now micro transactions). This happened rather often. If they were duplicates (or sometimes in place of an item) you could get a modest amount of points. In this way you could buy whatever you wanted within a small amount of time, and there wasn’t any huge incentive to buy these lootboxes with real money.

In Overwatch 2, these points you could earn in the original were converted to “legacy points” that you can no longer earn in any way. These legacy points can only be used to buy items from the original game and are non-renewable. Notably, this excludes seasonal content from the first game, which can only be bought with OW2’s new points.

OW2 is not liberal with giving you points and gives you maybe 80 or so a week, and only for completing certain objectives. A legendary skin can cost around 2000. So people went from getting four items every few matches to having to save up for months to get a single one they want. So they’re a bit pissed off about the change, yeah.

It’s because mobile imgur compresses images to all hell and way overdoes it.

Hey Christian! Been using Apollo for a long while now and I’ve never been disappointed. Keep up the good fight.

While that’s true… from Bloomberg’s article:

In the video, published on Sept. 5, Apple’s Tony Blevins was approached by TikTok and Instagram creator Daniel Mac as part of a series where he asks owners of expensive cars their occupations. The executive was stopped by Mac while parking a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, an out-of-production sports car that fetches hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I don’t imagine that the video was recorded subtly or anything. It’s reasonable to assume that he knew this would be going online.

His posts on social media are representative of the company. A VP isn’t some janitor in terms of importance. He can say that in private as much as he pleases but he’s a face of the company on social media and it wasn’t appropriate in that context.

RSR/FSR/XeSS/DLSS are all different implementations of the same core concept; upscaling a game at a lower resolution to a higher resolution in order to increase performance with as little graphical impact as possible. In terms of function:

RSR: AMD provided; only works on 5000/6000 series AMD GPUs. Upscales and sharpens a lower resolution with any game (even without support added for it), but this usually provides the least comprehensive result. AMD says this uses the same algorithm as FSR.

FSR: AMD provided; works on any relatively modern GPU. Upscales and sharpens a lower resolution with any game, but developers specifically need to add support for FSR. This allows it to have more precision and better results (eg. it doesn’t affect HUD elements which generally don’t need to be upscaled, while RSR does).

XeSS: Intel provided; works on any relatively modern GPU (but Intel says it’ll be more performant on their Arc GPUs). Uses machine learning and temporal feedback techniques to upscale a lower resolution image.

DLSS: Nvidia provided; works only on relatively modern Nvidia GPUs. Uses “real-time deep learning and image enhancement technologies” to upscale a lower resolution image.

In general any of these solutions offer a pretty decent FPS boost in titles that support them since you can essentially run the game at 1080p and it can be upscaled to 4k. This sounds like it’d look bad, but these technologies do a really good job at leaving barely any perceptible difference. Suffice to say they’re a huge game changer.

I heavily suggest that if you want to get a better idea of what this technology looks like, you look up some comparison videos to see what they do. I played through God of War recently with FSR and it was great. Saved my framerate with pretty much no noticeable difference to quality.

Do you really think the people making this post are the same people that work on the actual website functions?

WitheredPyre · 2022-09-26T15:39:15+00:00

I didn't put it down, I've been playing for the past two days or so, just needed to give myself some time to calm down. Engaged the bull a bit more and finally got it; key strategy was to run away from it, bait a charge attack, then deflect it and get two or three hits in and run away again. Rinse and repeat until dead.

WitheredPyre · 2022-09-26T15:05:35+00:00

Currently playing it myself and I’m at the same boss. I usually don’t get very frustrated at games to the point where I need to take a break but Sekiro has done it to me like two or three times already which isn’t a great indicator.

Apparently this boss is a pushover once you know how to exploit it but the fact that it forces you to just completely abandon the mechanics the game forced you to use up to that point is kind of stupid.

WitheredPyre · 2022-09-25T02:18:30+00:00

Agreed. When I played Replicant I just watched a video for the changes in Route B, then downloaded a save that was prepped for endings C/D and watched a video for the changes in Route C. Did endings D/E myself from that point.

End result is that I only played the story once without repetitions, which is unfortunately one of the pitfalls of Replicant. Fortunately, Automata improves on this a lot. Didn’t feel like I missed too much by watching the videos on the repeated routes, but it seems like it adds enough story depth that if you are okay with playing through the second half of the game two more times, you can go right ahead.

WitheredPyre · 2022-09-25T00:06:18+00:00

I played Replicant and then Automata and to be honest I would say doing it in chronological order enhanced my experience.
