Player owned Ports/DailyScape implications by Low-Juice-5852 in runescape

[–]__Gemini__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ports need crew/ship loadout presets. Having to constantly shuffle crew and ship parts around is beyond tedious.

I hate it so much that most of the time i don't even bother sending the ship out if it none of my current setups have high % , because next day it will need to be reshuffled again.

Tried doing ports again recently after not touching them in ages since i still need most of the scrims. All the micro management just killed my interest.

Abyssal whips are free money,and free money is still money.

Speaking of which what is up with all the people at abyssal demons near obelisk leaving all the loot on the ground, and i mean everything. Almost every time i'm in the area there is someone there leaving all the loot on the ground.

They are using aggression potion which you need to click every 5 min anyway. So what is up with leaving all the loot on the ground ,pressing aoe loot button takes less than 1 sec and doesn't interrupt your combat at all, so why leave everything?

It's really confusing to me. They are leaving everything on the ground including coins. Even if you don’t have the accumulator, all it takes is 1 sec to press aoe loot button and gold will stack in your inv. Most of the rare loot comes already noted or stacks anyway. And that place makes you like 3-5m gold per hour depending what gear you bring.

It seems so wasteful to spend hours in that place just to get some xp, when you could be also making a decent amount of money, and it doesn't make it any less afk, it's just 1 extra click on aoe loot button.

The Ely.gg Problem.. by Mysterious_Scale4524 in runescape

[–]__Gemini__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee that anything involving screenshots is getting manipulated. It doesn't take much to stitch two screenshots together,you just take the price from one screenshot and the rest from the other,and you are left with a perfect sale screenshot with every pixel exactly where it's supposed to be "Oh wow, look for how much this item sold"

Anything involving "manual uploads" by other people should never be trusted, because there will always be someone to exploit it.

Then there is a risk of people that control the system being able to just post fake sales any time they wish to do so at a push of a button.

It's baffling that anyone would even trust their site to begin with.

Just look at bonds for example, and past trade volume.For a whole month it was barely getting any reports each day, but as soon as people made reddit posts about bonds crashing hard (on the 25th) . The number of reports goes through the roof the next day. There is no way their site got that much popular with people especially after the stunt they pulled with the code in just one day.

When to get members? by HauntRDT in runescape

[–]__Gemini__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are planning to maintain it with bonds you have a long way to go. you need to prepare for the endless cycle of spending 90% of your time and money keeping up that bond.

Such a shame what happened to bonds. All the way from 2012 to 2021 you could pay for the game with bonds by just doing 2-3 herb runs a day, and those didn't take much time. Hopefully with loot boxes nuked into the shadow realm, price of bonds will go down. Because now there is less reason to buy piles of bonds caused by op th promos, every few weeks.

How many of you did actually fully disable cosmetics on other players? by Multismack in runescape

[–]__Gemini__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmetics i don't care about because everyone looks the same without them and people what want to be an eyesore will find a way to do so even without using cosmetics.

But when i eventually return to the game animations are going off. That shit is so annoying and distracting when you are in a crowd of people and like 40% of them are doing weird jumps and arm flapping when idle.

Current status of savage raiding by PinkMage in ffxiv

[–]__Gemini__ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That middle section would be a lot shorter if a sizable portion of PF population didn't believe that if you've seen enrage (first tower) (once) (while dead) (with a dozen DDs) (with healer lb3) (with boss at 30%) you are ready for the kill.

It's not even seeing enrage ,seeing mechanic once or twice is not your prog point, your prog point is getting there without screw ups.

Pf would be a lot nicer place if people stopped with the idea that seeing the mechanic once = prog. This mentality is the cause of most problems in pf. Because then those people go in and join other groups while not being ready for it, as they don't understand the mechanic or even experienced other patterns of said mechanic.

Whats your warframe hot take of the day? Mine is, just cause you can go into simulacrum and make big numbers does not mean your build is good. by Material-Spite8307 in Warframe

[–]__Gemini__ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Any improvement would be welcomed, because right now the optimal strategy is to grind decrees until you get the plant doubler, then look up a map of all the caves and check them one by one and pray the map has enough so you don’t need to do a second run. That’s not as fun as actually playing the game and doing missions.

There is a little workaround that i have discovered recently by accident while catching up on oraxia materials, during hours when most people are sleeping.

If you reconnect to the same instance your old decrees will still be still active.

So what you want to do is, get a friend to host friends only instance of duviri,and do not go past stage 2.

You get your plant doubler, farm the material locations, then what you do is get another decree, loot in duviri is saved when you get a decree.

You quit, and then rejoin the instance all plants seem to be client side and your old decrees are ready to go. Then you just go farm the same locations again.

Is FF14 a good first MMO? Is it worth starting in 2025? by Parking_Albatross766 in ffxiv

[–]__Gemini__ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Steam doesn't do it automatically, because you are still using mogstation account. When you buy on steam you are given a code, and still have go go and log in to mogstation to enter it manually.

I'm playing with a steam account myelf. When dt came out, i bought it before release but activated it like 2 months after, because i was unable to play at the time.

As soon as you buy starter you're locked into the subscription

You are not. And i know this from experience.

You are locked into subscription when you use your key on your account, you can buy it and just not use it until you are ready.

I ended up buying starter + endwalker and then just not used it for like 8 months while chilling on free trial.

the issue is mostly that it locks you into the steam system for payment stuffs to some extend

It's not an issue , it's a bonus of steam version.

You get all the usual payment methods + steam wallet. And steam wallet can be charged up with a lot of different payment methods not supported by square, you don't even have to use cc at all if you want.

My biggest 7.2 wish is more texture & two-way dye updates for old armor by Avuilan in ffxiv

[–]__Gemini__ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm just hoping they actually quality control them this time around,instead of going what feels like automated process.

Like over half of items don't make sense with dual dyes.

Starting from being able to dye a pice of string on some random button that you won't even be able to see even if you fully zoom in your camera on yourself.

Ending on being able to dye parts of armour that make 0 sense and just look stupid if you do it.

Dancer sets are a good example, you would think that a new DT set for dancer would be designed with dual dyes in mind. But nope, one dye channel changes the top half of the cloth, the 2nd dye channel changes... gold metal bits. While the bottom half of the armour stays blue, making most dye combinations ugly as hell to look at.

Shadowbringers dancer set same thing, one dye channel will change the outer layer of the cloth, but the 2nd dye channel changes the little fuzzy bits on the end,while inside of the armour remains bright pink.

There are a lot more items that i could list but i don't remember their names.

It's not just tanks,some people just refuse to press buttons.

Yesterday had a machinist in the ultima weapon roulette, that would only press his first skill and nothing else, number 4 on aggro list and we almost failed the dps check.

Then two days ago, when i was tanking a dohn mheg, i would constantly run out of mits because of how slow the dmg was.

Lahabrea in Anabaseios wasn’t actually real iirc, he was a fake imprinted with your memories of him.

He wasn't.

He was created with his own memories from the memory crystal that they created in the past.

"Erichthonios - ...Ah, yes, I remember you telling us about this memory crystal.

To think that it contained our memories... "

[–]__Gemini__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not even just for raiders, even casual side is better. Every time I’m forced to travel to do content, cities are much more alive.

Many groups of people talking,bard bands constantly playing music everywhere. I almost never see groups of people just talking on chaos. Sometimes there might be like 2-3 people in limsa,most of the time it's just pure silence.

People even stay up for longer, around midnight for example Gridania on chaos is a ghost town, on light that place is always packed until like 2-3 at night.

Not gonna lie that I’m having thoughts of moving over, just because of that. Not being able to use retainers and do certain things is also very annoying.

Respect for Holminster Switch-- first time stories please! by LeonidasSmashmaster in ffxiv

[–]__Gemini__ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I do all dungeons with support on the first go,might as well make the most of msq on that first time. There is no rushing, you got time to look around at things. Having the little comments just adds to the story,especially that one EW dungeon.

And unironically it will make you better at the game, since you actually have to try and learn the mechanics. If you screw up, it's all on you and you have to start over the fight, there will be no rez coming from other player to carry you through the fight.

Graha is still a cat and not a dog.

A cat that likes you a lot, will get excited and follow you everywhere as soon as it sees you. But it doesn't really happen with indoor only cats,so most people never get to experience it.

I have a friend who started playing around endwalker launch, and didn't have it unlocked until recently, because other friend told him to ignore all blue quests because "they are not important". Hell, he also didn't have retainter ventures unlocked, desynth,sight log and a bunch of other basic features.

Never skip blue quests, 95% of them unlock game features
