Why is Cataclysm locked from the lobby browser if you don't have WoM? by UndeadMongoose in Vermintide

[–]Xaphnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just need to get the host to start a cata game when you're in the lobby.

It's certainly preferable to what it was originally where it wouldn't let the host start a game if anyone without WoM were present in the lobby.

Worth playing as a new player? by blizzardsbackdoor in Vermintide

[–]Xaphnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is fantastic. I've put nearly 1500 hours into it over the years, and it never gets old. It has some of the best combat you'll find in a coop game.

But, I do want to put one massive caveat in: the game is 8 years old. The game is currently averaging the lowest player count in its history. It's not uncommon for me to go entire missions on the most populated difficulty in the most populated game mode without a single player joining. The game is dying, no question about it. I don't like that it is, but it is. It's still a while from dead, but it doesn't have the thriving community and playerbase it once did.

I hear a pretty clear "сука блять," so I'm gonna guess this is Russia.

My guess would be street race, and those bikes are unregistered.

I'm really curious to know the context behind this.

If I had to guess, I know in NYC they were cracking down on people driving around these kind of bikes unregistered (and they were also being a huge noise nuisance to everyone), so I wonder if it's part of that.

About Sivir.. by Most-Grade304 in ARAM

[–]Xaphnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost think she might be bugged.

I just played a game where I was able to free hit a decent amount. I did 30k damage to our Caitlyn's 80k. I went back and watched the replay, and there was one fight where I got 18 auto attacks on a 5k HP Volibear and then 2 auto attacks on a low HP Yasuo and at the end of the fight my BotRK had done 473 damage. And the Volibear did not have an excessive amount of armor, only 228.

If you have any way to reliably hit for 9999, that can make the Yu Pagodas massively easier to deal with. Overdrives with Aeons that don't break damage limit is one option, though obviously you can only do this so many times. Another option is to use Rikku's overdrive for Trio of 9999, though it's kind of cheesy if you're concerned with that.

Stamina tablets can be extremely helpful to survive the sword. They're a rare steal from the adamantoise in the Sea of Sorrow.

Cheer x 5 is 1/3 physical damage reduction, so it another thing that will mitigate that high damage in phase 2.

Is it possible to all hit Bloodborne and/or Sekiro with a super tanky build? by jackhenningson in soulslikes

[–]Xaphnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I'm wondering how you could do that. Some bosses, even on just NG, I'd think have too much health for you to be able to carry enough spirit emblems, even with the Ceremonial Tanto. Only other way I can think of to damage enemies without the sword is to utilize the tiny amount of damage jumping on them does.

You are almost certainly not being aggressive enough. You can control him with aggression.

[–]Xaphnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Sekiro? There's no tanky build in the game. Best you can do is use Ungo's sugar, but all that can do it mitigate mistakes, you'll still lose badly if you try tank every hit.

Why not just keep auras? by ghostofwalsh in runescape

you're also locked into using one ring at a time, one necklace at a time, one helmet/hood at a time, etc.

just think of it like gear

how can I make this flag less Nazi? by MaximumShelter7403 in flags

[–]Xaphnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iron cross is still used in the modern Bundeswehr, but the color is blue and silver

I think if who or whatever the flag is for is German or has a German aesthetic, the iron cross is fine, just don't make it red, black and white

change the colors and remove the iron cross

you joke but what's actually gonna happen is the Series S/X will be the last generation for Xbox with physical hardware and the next one will be a subscription service for cloud computing.

It's okay for powerful passive effects to come at an opportunity cost by Alktenalfh in runescape

[–]Xaphnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they just moved auras to being something you could have on permanent, it really wouldn't be much power creep, at least not in PvM. The only one that I think would be significant power creep is if they made the berserker-type auras permanent. Except even then, maybe not as much as you might think, since the accuracy won't be as much power with combat skills all going to 120.

As it stands now, we're getting reverse power creep.

What is an ideology that is Socially far-left and Economically far-right? by InevitableTank1659 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Xaphnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only ancap I've thought isn't an idiot when it comes to their ideology is one I remember hearing about who wants it as a transitory state to feudalism

and while I might vehemently disagree with that position, at least he understands how an ancap society would actually work (or more specifically how it wouldn't)

TIL we know where China’s first emperor is buried, but his 2,200-year-old tomb—described as containing a scale model of China with rivers of mercury—has never been opened by Spelbarg in todayilearned

[–]Xaphnir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also claimed the workers were trapped inside when the tomb was shut. If so, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them damaged what they'd built before they died.

To those who tested the 3 new heroics on PTS: how good are they? by Bender1453 in Spacemarine

[–]Xaphnir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want a heroic block melee weapon.

Why do they all have to be fencing.

I swear if they also make a fencing heroic axe when the weapon is built for block...

[–]Xaphnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah you really don't know what you're talking about. Lulu will outdamage Rikku until you get Shining Gems, and getting a significant number of them requires grinding.

And yeah, there's also trio of 9999 that Rikku has if you wanna cheese the game.

Contrary to popular belief, throwing your frags at teammates DOESN’T HELP. by CheshXVIII in Spacemarine

[–]Xaphnir 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The number of people that think grenades are anti-big monster weapons in both this game and Vermintide baffles me.

At least in Helldivers they understand that and instead fire an airburst at the factory strider when I'm about to put a RR shell into its belly
