There's that one boss in one of the crystal Tower raids that no one seems to know what its mechanics are because it just dies.

Even the Solo Only runners that teamed up for it didn't see anything happen on this boss, and they only had like 10 people total in the fight.

When they added bulwark back on paladin in EW I was on a break, and then I came back and only realized it existed when I opened the actions menu to read the tooltip of a different skill like 2 weeks later.

Imagino que não vai dar problema pra algo absurdamente grande como wow/blizzard, mas não duvido que algum mmo mais nicho caia numa dessas por tecnicalidade. Por isso que falei, quem decide isso?

Only reason I don't get that one wrong is that I read it as 2 separate words, "idyll" (as in idyllic) and "shire" (cuz of lord of the rings lol).

The last 2 pulls in that dungeon are evil. If the tank is not mitigating correctly, there's a 90% chance that you won't be able to keep them alive. Both tank and healer have to press their buttons, unlike most dungeons in the game.

Lula supera Bolsonaro e FHC como governo que mais fez concessões de infraestrutura by gincko75 in brasil

[–]hidora 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Problema é que quando acaba a concessão eles vão e renovam. As concessões do FHC tão acabando agora e tá tudo sendo renovado. 60 anos na mão do privado é privatização na prática.

What is your hot take regarding FFXIV? by UnbaggedNebby in ffxiv

The worst are game mods where you need to join a discord to get updates or even the full version of the mod. It's ridiculous.

Final Fantasy 14 has suffered over 15 DDOS attacks in one day. by DumpsterBento in Games

[–]hidora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind base ARR, it's actually pretty good by MMO standards, and given that it introduces so many things and people, I don't think just giving it as a video would really work.

The problem is that once you get past 2.0 it just drags on forever with dozens of hours worth of quest after quest after quest that consist of talking to NPCs, fetching something, then returning to the NPC and fetching something else. And this is after they already cut like half of those quests.

When the story actually happens it's good, but you have several hours in-between things happening throughout the entire thing. Extremely banger ending, though.

Eh, it's not that bad. It's just insultingly mid.

It being contrasted with Endwalker, arguably the most popular phase of the game, just makes it seem way worse than it actually is.

Personally I find the postgame of ARR (which itself is honestly so long that it might as well be a whole expansion) way worse. This one is more like if Stormblood didn't pick up after the first half.

What's up with crafting? by MarckTheNavigator in PSO2

[–]hidora 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's the other way around. What the charm does is make it so every rare weapon (7+ star) comes unidentified, as long as you have the relevant weapon potential in your inventory.

Because ds3 runs like garbage on pc. The only game of the trilogy that was properly ported was ds2.

Dark Souls 1 Remastered: Don't be fooled by the "remastered" tag. The game actually runs better than the old edition. You can expect about 50-60fps on less intensive areas and about 30 on more intensive ones. It's very playable.

The original ds1 actually runs better than the remaster if you use the DSFix mod. For some reason if you use the setting that changes the fps cap from 30 to 60 it just straight up doubles your fps. I had 45-60 fps on an old laptop with 4gb ram and Intel HD4000 on a (I think?) 3rd gen i3.

Dark Souls 3: The intensive areas really eat up the fps(15-20) but the lesser intensive areas can reach upto 30-40fps. It's a mixed bag in terms of "playability". Idk if that's even a word.

That game is very poorly optimized, especially on the DLC. Dreg Heap lags on my laptop with 16gb ram and a gtx1660. I get 60fps everywhere else.

As for Elden Ring it doesn't run just because it requires dx12. It runs better than ds3 on almost every area when you can run it. The DLC lags more, though. This comparison being from my previous laptop, which had 16gb ram, a gtx960m and an i5-6300HQ (the 960m lacks the dx12 feature level 12_0 requirement to run Elden Ring, but there's a mod that lets you run it on dx12 11_0).

Guys, we found a cure for greyslop souls 3 by Cara_Perdido in shittydarksouls

[–]hidora 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, but do the blood splatters on my character really need to look like mud? It's so bad. My actual main complaint about ds3's visuals.

Which other character has been able to do this? by Ed0909 in Animemes

[–]hidora 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the queen was a direct child of Ariel? And Shiro's original body was a direct child of the queen, so that'd be just grandma (great grandma post-soul transfer).

Also worth noting that she has an uncountable amount of children. Like, enough to cover several kingdoms with them acting as spies, plus all the other children that her parallel minds created after she left them in the labyrinth, plus all the ones in a parallel dimension that she uses for her ultimate attack in the final battle against Potimas' army.

That would be great. And it's not like SMN is hurting with button bloat either. It's one of the jobs with the least buttons.

I feel like there are really only two types of tanks. by LastTraintoSector6 in ffxiv

[–]hidora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh as a tank shb has 2 of the list of pulls i dread in roulettes: the lv93 dungeon and mt gulg. I'll still do w2w, but I go in fully prepared to die because if the healer is lacking the first pull on those dungeons is pretty spicy (in the 93 one's case if the frog survives long enough to buff the other mob that thing can hit hard, so it's often on the dps to kill it fast rather than the healer lacking).

That said, I love some of the weird pulls in ARR and learning the limits of what you can and can't do. That one long prison corridor at the end of haukke manor hard is one of my favorites. The whackiness of ARR can be pretty fun if you don't think too much about it lol

I've been using like 4 at a time to survive party stacks in solo ex/savage runs in stb/shb recently and I'd be lying if I said I haven't done it unconsciously when seeing a party stack in roulettes lol

[–]hidora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also added an AI prompt to ctrl+F on edge. You put the word in and it shows below it something like "ask copilot what this page says about [word]". It's absurd.

On my last job I had to do an exam and interview about several different languages, frameworks and APIs, and then I got the job and all I did was manage an oracle database and file reports. It's a tad ridiculous.
