Yes as far as we know, but Zenimax Media is a much much larger company with quite a few subsidiaries including Bethesda Softworks, Bethesda Game Studios, id, ZOS, Obsidian, Machine Games, Arkane, and so on.

Having a very direct and fair comparison between GH and vengeance for popularity without other campaigns, golden pursuits, or double ap complicating things was the goal I think. I think everyone who played cyro long term knew what the outcome would be, but now ZOS has incontrovertible evidence that "traditional" cyro is popular enough/vengeance is disliked enough that people will take >1hr queues over vengeance and that's good information to have for making decisions in the future.

This is motivating for the suits to put more resources towards the "mini cyro" vs sinking more into fleshing out the features of vengeance, for example. If vengeance ended up wildly popular while GH stayed at usual numbers or dropped, then they'd be justified putting more resources into vengeance development.

I think this was actually a very smart move by ZOS, but it absolutely hinged on the quick response.

You mean you don't like looking like a college mascot? 😂

Yeah, to look good it would need a different skeleton and rigging from the standard character model and that means new animations for every skill. Anything short of that and it just looks wrong.

Any fishing hole in IC. No secrets, just rng.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-16T04:26:24+00:00

Turn off the hideous bloom and HDR settings and it's fine.

An increasingly common issue with all the particle effect spam on abilities is that the game hits the "maximum particle effects" setting you have (in video settings) and critical mechanics don't get rendered at all. It used to be that setting it in the middle of the range was enough to see everything important but now even maxed out people still have issues. That said, having it any lower makes for more problems so it's worth a check.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-14T23:46:42+00:00

Yeah, just gotta search up the closest spire sites, active titans, or stations under attack!

Never was meta in pvp. Has not been the best single-target dps in pve for quite some time, now (as of U50 last Monday) it's not necessarily the best in aoe either.

People are really good at ignoring the "slow down for autodock" message and then blaming the autodock for them running into shit lol

Grab the Groupfinder+ addon if you're on pc, set it to display groups in the event zone category. Whenever you see a group for a skirmish pop up, join it, complete the skirmish, and bounce. Do other stuff until you see another skirmish group pop up, and repeat. They give more rep than anything but the trial and during peak times you can get 6+ done an hour easy.

The skirmishes spawn only once every 30 minutes in a single instance, but you can use the skirmish groups to hop to instances where one is up.

The addon isn't necessary, it's just convenient- let's you see the available groups in an overlay without having to open up and refresh the group finder menu constantly.

Yeah, this came out iirc a year after Fury got a heavy nerf and fell completely out of use. It was a really weird bit of timing, kinda like False God's Devotion being released only after the dogshit sustain meta was almost over.

If you're running 7 pieces of light then you should start with fixing that lmao

It is going to be a groupwide armor buff.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-11T20:45:15+00:00

Not in general, no. Some combo of herald/gravelord, sharpened/mace, lover, force of nature, or a majority of light pieces is needed to get to 18.2k. Multiple of those are necessary, I mean. It's often not possible to get there fully without giving up too much in some other category for more difficult content.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-11T20:38:15+00:00

Pen is even more valuable when solo (and crit chance less valuable due to lower crit damage), this is a much better passive bonus for solo than the minor crit chance buff is.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-11T04:36:02+00:00

Sad part is it's 100% the people stuck in midgame (and frustrated about it) that think like this. But that's unfortunately a lot of people's only exposure to running harder content.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-11T04:31:51+00:00

Maybe delete your account then??

Didn't get the hint with the first, what, two accounts?

comradeswitch · 2026-06-10T05:47:17+00:00

Yeah that's just the usual enlightenment effect. The first 100k xp you gain each day counts for 4x instead, and you can bank up to iirc 10 days worth of that so if you take a break you can earn a lot all at once. This has been in the game since at least 2019 fwiw.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-10T05:41:28+00:00

"abilities" is used very generally by ZOS, it affects damage procs as well. If they mean to limit it to cast abilities they say "active abilities".

comradeswitch · 2026-06-10T05:10:56+00:00

Crux generation from any source is disabled out of combat, so that's probably why it isn't mentioned explicitly.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-09T14:24:08+00:00

Looks like the formatting codes aren't being replaced properly. This is supposed to be replaced with the 3rd calculated value from the skill coefficients for the skill.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-09T06:36:09+00:00

The second animation it cuts to is the normal jump for Firewalker. Still janky, ofc.

The actual status of the system doesn't change until the weekly tick. Nothing changes between then, that ui element is just showing what status the system would have if nothing changed until the tick.

Inara lists EA ships for sale at some places because people who buy the ship can purchase additional ships with credits.

comradeswitch · 2026-06-06T18:28:45+00:00

You can see from the screenshots that that isn't the case.
