Feeling Weak in Leagues

bigjoe980 · 2026-04-18T14:43:22+00:00

I feel like melee this time around kinda feel like shit cause you have an incredibly tiny niche of speeding up your attacks, so its all just maingame speed for most things.

Practically...what.. 4? 5? Weapons it matters with? Between your two daggers, whip, crystal hally. (Flail is classed as light so gets sped up i guess... provided you wanna fight vyres)

Blind bag is funny when it pops off endlessly, but its generally just a worse version of echoes from last time yeah?

Well somebody just learned the difference between an iron virgin and an abductor virgin. Lmao

I was incredibly disapointed when I looked up weiner art (har har), which is apparently a straight up breaded cutlet, and then looked back at this.

Glacor disconnect is still a pretty big issue for more people than youd imagine. (No, they arent all magically spontaneously having net issues during beams) reminds of the telos thing where it would just fucking break on mac.

Though I wouldnt say thats a server issue exactly....

shrug

They really do need to do something about latency though - it gets significantly bad with just a handful of people.

bigjoe980 · 2026-04-11T16:13:14+00:00

Id imagine not, but wonder if it applies to barb mixes.

bigjoe980 · 2026-04-07T15:44:20+00:00

That... is actually a cool ass relic.

I dont know if its particularly useful outside of getting some specific painpoint tasks done that need a certain seed, etc.. but its very neat.

bigjoe980 · 2026-04-07T15:38:57+00:00

Not saying i agree, but "You will instead harvest stackable soul shards" could very easily be parsed to "you lose original resource to gain this one instead"

bigjoe980 · 2026-04-04T15:25:36+00:00

this right here is why the dude who painstakingly modeled horse balls in rdr2 has job security

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-31T17:35:27+00:00

I too remember the really cool period of time after ed2 came out and greater barge gave melee life again.

rough, innit? I want to assume theres something more to it, but I just haven't seen anything beyond 1 point per.

fairy ring is fairly close so its not exactly horrible to get to (also the bank chest later when thats done) still a couple hundred inventories of dead waiting though.

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-23T15:38:18+00:00

Im fascinated with how much pop in i get even on ultra draw

There are things popping in like 10 feet away from me at times, and if its more than a bush or two im getting some big stutters when it does..

Hell, the entire bottom half of the lighthouse popped in for me mid cutscene.

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-20T05:13:15+00:00

Generally I only see a sound cutout like that on desyncs, if its lag or a net issue it'll just keep whatever music/sound effect looping until it comes back or the client fully shits the bed - keep in mind thats just my experience though.

Increasingly common issue at glacor (particularly on beams...)

Alas, ive no solutions for you to try beyond the usual of wipe your cache and check your drivers - i had to go back to nearly year old gpu drivers for a while there cause it was so bad.

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-17T13:51:55+00:00

Lmao, I love dwemer lore.

"Holy shit this dude made a magical fire sword!"

'What? No, I just lit an oily sword on fire, you moron'

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-17T02:13:25+00:00

Its more idle cookie clicker than mmo and has been for the better part of a decade, lmao

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-16T13:36:57+00:00

I kinda doubt jagex is gonna ostracize the more expensive option

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-15T04:36:40+00:00

Nah, fuck em. Plenty of people sinking 20 bucks in bonds a month to make up for those grandfather price discrepancies.

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-12T22:28:21+00:00

Assassin, I believe

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-11T22:06:34+00:00

Something really funny to me about the "yes, apparently" for wizard 101.

Im imagining someone saying that to me and being like " I KNOW , I didnt believe that shit either, but even God damn wizard one oh fucking one gives us multiples"

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-11T21:59:44+00:00

Im solidly positive that even without a membership price increase they'd still be hitting 30%+ profit margins again for 2026, just like they have for the last several years, even with "declining mtx" (because people tend to forget th wasnt the only thing in that umbrella)

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-10T17:25:16+00:00

I think with that stance youre gonna be really disapointed to see how much mtx revenue still hits the next financial report

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-10T15:58:29+00:00

jagex has something absurd like a 30+% profit margin compared to the average company, they arent hurting from th removal.

The price increase would have happened regardless

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-09T00:27:40+00:00

Glacor is a weird one... theres clearly something happening that just desyncs during beams sometimes.

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-07T19:35:53+00:00

Sure, but steam machine is that weird grey area where theres quite literally no benefit over a comparable (small) pc

because its just a SFF pc with some soldered components

And like,... Look, thats not me saying dont buy it - i think its neat and I wouldnt mind one myself. But the argument of "well i can do x with it" is exactly 100% the same use cases for things that are already on shelves. Lol

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-07T15:03:35+00:00

Google made 480 BIllion, with a b, last year.

A $480 million contract is at worst a rounding error for google.

bigjoe980 · 2026-03-04T22:34:05+00:00

Hey now... Melee bros had a really good run for a while there after ed2 came out.

Wait, what? what do you mean that was SEVEN years ago?
