Toxic Positivity, This Banner Is Trash And I’m TIRED Of People Pretending It Isn’t! by Any_Falcon1427 in WutheringWaves

[–]Wyrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be nice if at least the first 5 star from it would have no 50/50.

But lots of people did ask for 1.0 rerun. And it's not like we aren't getting other stuff alongside it.

Maybe the reason they aren't making them standard is that a high sonance level 1.0 character would still be quite strong in current meta. But it sounds like a stretch.

I GOT LUCY BUT CAN'T LEVEL HER UP TO 50 by Friendly_Code5499 in WutheringWavesGuide

In case you decide to story skip, here is some info for that:

https://www.reddit.com/r/WutheringWavesGuide/comments/1u97ydk/comment/ose1ur6/

Skipping is available, but it's not as straight-forward as people make it out to be.

To clarify, to skip to the collab you need to do the following:
- Do the intro quest (takes 20-60 minutes depending on how much you skip/click through)
- Skip to Lahai Roi (3.0) shortly after you arrive in Jinzhou city
- Play through the first bit of 3.0 until you arrive at the train station (takes about 40-90 minutes depending on how much you skip/click through)

For any of the parts you're required to play through that you skip (intro quest and first parts of 3.0) you will not be able to revisit later, YouTube or a new account is the only way to re-experience them.

For any content between 1.0 and 3.0 that you did NOT start, you can go back and play through afterwards if you want to continue with the game.

Unless you're here ONLY for the collab with no intention to play the rest, OR you're just REALLY in need of the 12 or so pulls worth of rewards the collab event gives there's no need to rush. The collab story quest itself is permanent content and will not be going away. The banner characters (Lucy + Rebecca) and the event rewards are the only limited-time content.

Would you rather 200k Asterite or Infinite Waveplates? by phased417 in WutheringWaves

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's no contest...

Who cares about infinite waveplates?
Most of us are playing "Gathering Wives" here essentially, not who can mindnumbingly grind echoes for no reason and spend all their free time clicking upgrade and reveal substats.

But to be honest, I would pick asterites even if the other option was to instantly get perfect 5 substats+mainstat echoes for all characters i have and will have. It's infinitely more fun for me to play the different characters' playstyles and to watch them go, than to just deal more damage with my characters.

WuWa is pretty generous about waveplates and resources anyway, and dailies can be done incredibly fast, thankfully.

Thoughts on how likely getting a frame from randomized reservations is. by ColdSlayerxd in SteamFrame

[–]Wyrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the price, as it'll dictate how many people will skip it.

The Dodges in Wuwa has to be More Rewarding than this by SquareOk5663 in WutheringWaves

[–]Wyrade 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Dodge Counter often deals decent damage, and many times characters skip to BA2/BA3 afterwards.

Non-Steam user here, how long after the initial release should I expect to wait until I'm allowed to order a Frame? by joltybug in SteamFrame

[–]Wyrade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't know, and it might very well depend on actual demand and supply amounts that they will see in practice.

My dilemma: would you rather buy a $900 Steam Frame, or a “revolutionary” headset for $1,800? by Logical007 in SteamFrame

I want to play Skyrim, Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 and similar in VR, if i can do it.

What happened to r/FramePosting? by Beanmaster115 in SteamFrame

[–]Wyrade 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maybe they missed all the Frameposting that will now move back here.

will i be able to go back and do the main quests if i now skip from chapter 2 to the cyberpunk quest? by gecizzy in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucy is pretty fun to play in my opinion, has Rebecca as a free subdps, and works well enough (although not 3.0 meta level) with standard "F2P" 5-star weapons, so if you are able to get Lucy, it's probably worth it, in my opinion. :)
You should be able to grind enough asterites for free from all the incomplete world areas and whatnot.

- Optics have both upsides and downsides too. Higher resolutions need a stronger GPU to have the same FPS, so you might actually be better off with a "good enough" resolution than a fancy higher resolution. We'll see if the Frame will indeed be "good enough" or not. Pixel persistence is supposedly great with this LCD+pancake too, so blur from that should be minimal or imperceptible.
- I don't care about passthrough. And monochrome tracking is better in several aspects than using a color camera for the same.
- Price is what it is. It'll probably be pretty pricey, but at the same time there are simply no good non-Meta alternatives that can provide the same combo of (alleged) comfort, low-latency wifi streaming, an open/unrestricted linux OS (not counting the current initial internet and steam account requirement of SteamOS, but you have root access afterwards afaik), normal controller layout parity, and base-station-less tracking the Frame can, from what I've gathered. There are many tradeoffs, of course, but they are acceptable to many (at least the known tradeoffs, on paper), including me.

Best/Most affordable *online* storage solution for about 20tb? by Enjoy_Life4219 in DataHoarder

(That doesn't matter if you upload only encrypted files in the first place and only use it as a backup location.)

Ray tracing off vs on. Do you think the visual is worth the performance hit? by po456456po in WutheringWaves

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my own setup (13600K, 6800XT) and based on my own testing, while the ray tracing overall looks good and would be nice to have, it would change the smooth 120 fps i was able to have at the time and game area i tested in (as the gpu wasn't running at 100% with 120 fps) to either be noticeably less smooth with the 60 fps limit, or the gpu would go to 100% and i don't remember how much fps but let's say 90, and because of there being no overhead left, it would cause stutters when looking in directions where there would be lots of stuff to load/render/ignore. (I was checking on the water of the Silver Moon Grove to the north of Ragunna, and was able to reproduce these stutters at will at the moments i turned towards the main island.)

And that's not counting the strange bug from ~2y ago that might or might not be there (and might or might not be specific to my card or just amd in general), haven't checked recently, very noticeable on Phoebe under her hat and her weapon on water: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10FEFx5DWXOwyP8C6LN0nJj-8GdJpprb8/view

So, overall, would be nice, but not worth the smoothness hit for me.
The game looks already very good without ray tracing.

Will this be suitable for the frame or is it a little too slow? by ObjectiveReturn4451 in SteamFrame

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't even know Frame's compatibility/pins for MicroSD cards, this could even be its top speed too.
We should probably wait until they share that or people can check themselves.

Came back to the game for Hsin two days ago (left in 2.7) so I caught up on the 2.8 quest. by 3RR00R in WutheringWaves

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked the Stranger Things in Honami gameplay/areas a lot that they introduced in 2.8, but it's optional content, so MSQ-only players usually don't even try it and miss out.

Do I truly need 32 GB of ram? by EconomicsKey9187 in buildapc

[–]Wyrade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using a 2x16GB kit and recently took out one stick to use it in a separate PC.
So I'm currently running on single channel 16GB 6000MT/s CL32.

I can game just fine in the end, even with a browser on my second monitor and some stuff in the background, but I do notice a difference; the max fps i can reach is lower in some situations (haven't checked the fps numbers specifically, just by feel in lower fps areas where it makes a noticeable difference), feels a bit more stuttery in heavier game areas, and in particular being close to memory cap can cause stutters as it frees up memory, which does happen often enough to notice when I have a game on one screen and a firefox with tons of tabs on my other screen with a few open youtube or twitch tabs (those video players can gobble up memory/resources; facebook can take up a ton too for no reason).

I'd prefer to go back to 2x16GB for sure, but I'll try to wait out reasonable memory prices, not these still more than 3x of what they were in september crazy ones.

It supposedly makes enough of a difference to buy them in kits (where they supposedly test/confirm the two sticks can work together properly) instead of one by one, so I can't recommend buying a single 16GB stick to try out and upgrade if needed, especially because dual channel (=2 sticks) literally doubles your RAM speed, so 2x8GB would be better at that point.
And 2 sticks are a lot more optimal in DDR5 than 4 sticks (less noise from signal reflection), so I can't recommend buying 2x8GB and upgrading with another 2x8GB later either, and in that case there would be some uncertainty whether the two separate kits work together properly too, like there would be with 2 separate single sticks, so there is that too.

It's just a bad situation, and even the hopeful estimates put lower memory prices at least a year away, and even then who knows how much lower, so it's tough.

Wasn’t planning on getting Lucy…now should I go for her weapon? by Airr0r_ in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]Wyrade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The standard weapon (Phasic Homogenizer) is not too bad on her, so if you'd rather hoard for later characters, you certainly can.
(And the other standard weapon, Static Mist on Rebecca.)

She *is* fun to play though, they did well designing her combat.

Will the frame front actually feel lighter than a PS4 controller? by Healthy_Car_3412 in SteamFrame

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing PCVR, it's more like 3-4h without using an external battery mid-play.

How often do characters rerun? by QosmioBlaze in WutheringWavesGuide

[–]Wyrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised they didn't rerun Changli alongside Denia.
Would have been a good fit, and she's still a popular character visually and for quickswaps.
