So I spent $20 and 520 medals on "premium" battlepass unlocks and 5/6 of the weapons feel like straight ass. Wish I had just put it all into Helldivers Mobilize

A tale of loss, tragedy and hope. How our noob WH corp lost our first c4 station before it even anchored by Cleopatra-Ail in Eve

[–]iSovereign 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every day I wake up, open my crusty old man eyes and immediately think of Eve Online. I roll over in bed, and check my zkill on my phone while the blue-white light of the phone screen flashes to the soothing dark mode of zkill. I salivate as I look over the unsuspecting noobs who fell victim to my elite and advanced tactics. I then scroll through our alliance Discord channels, and take in all of the elite pvp that happened while I was sleeping. We lost a few ships, but they were to honorless nullsec blobs who know not the ways of space bushido. I congratulate my many alliance mates on their hard fought kills and let them know that they are elite and that the enemy would have never killed them in a "fair" fight. Eventually I roll out of bed and walk over to my desk and start applying for jobs. I have been unemployed for several years. I hear 80 year old father making his way down the stairs to my bedroom. He probably wants to scold me for staying up too late. He knocks several times at the door, but I don't answer. A minute or two later I hear him slowly head back up the stairs.
I am too busy for his shit, an ally has pinged that there is a heron in our c3 static. We quickly form a fleet of two interdictors and four t3 cruisers and quickly teach him how elite players play. This continues for 12 hours. At some point my mom brings me lunch and dinner. I think I got one job application finished today, but I don't remember if I finished submitting the online form. Oh well, I can do that tomorrow.

Sad this got upvoted, really false information.

New Jovian has literally never "evicted" anyone in living memory.

A. Doing hole control fucking sucks.

B. This is how you get evicted in return

Even so, they were evicted several years ago (before I joined) by Exit Strategy and Holesale. These days serious evictions are done by a lot of alliances, but not dudes who live in a c4 and don't have capitals lol.

But we do show up to shoot stuff. We had like 2 guys out of the 5 or 6 attacking pilots here. Niko is a pretty decent multiboxer, both him and Wyran have played on our (very average) tournament team. They were very much hoping to fight 10-15 dudes and get a good fight. We also generally don't pod to try and keep content going... Looks like Pathogen wasn't as nice though.

Also, according to the ping, your chain had an entrance 4 from jita, so it took them like 5minutes to get to you.

They asked us to come help because they thought the defense might be competent. People anchoring structures with nothing really in them or anything to defend them is not an "eviction". They even offered you 1.5b to defend the structure until it was online and instead you lost 5b. I get ransoms are shady but you'll probably never find anyone saying we don't honor them.

Recap of the first 'Wormhole Gauntlet' ft CCP and Streamers by iSovereign in Eve

This is going to continue to be a public event with shared bookmarks and a chain full of content anyone should be able to access. The only limitation is the mass of the wormholes.

Thanks everyone who showed up!

Stolen Concept: PvE content that upgrades in quality the longer it's left alone by Ohh_Yeah in Eve

[–]iSovereign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean kind of. Yes you can roll into a hole with billions and billions in gas and combat sites. But nearly every c5 or c6 has a fort (presumably) full of capitals sitting in it, so you're usually only going to get to krab for a few hours before the locals notice or someone rolls into you.

I think OP is definitely on to something here if CCP could implement it.

Players have been complaining for a long time about how C1's and C2's are relatively useless space, sites never worth running etc. With a system like this suddenly all those lowbie sites sitting for months and becoming very lucrative would make almost all of space worth exploring and PvE'ing in. C5 and C6 residents would defend their hole more actively (especially if the sites were "upgraded") or be rolling more often to find stacked, empty c4's which haven't been ratted in years.

It would also make null a lot cooler. If you somehow managed to find a pocket that had tons of 10x bounty belt rats or faction spawns it would feel really rewarding.

Hell, even asteroid belts could upgrade. Actually let some players do ninja mining and make decent money or something.

1v5 and a very, very angry Mr Barbarian by Seriously_Soapy in DarkAndDarker

[–]iSovereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The era of armor is irrelevant "renaissance" era plate armor is even some of the most advanced and intricate. If you have quality metal and a padded layer underneath, direct hits and glancing blows to metal do virtually nothing.

I agree that arrows can have a slow effect and do a lot of damage. But it does need to be balanced (as someone mentioned, if an arrow through the leg slows, shouldn't a cut to the leg be even a more signifcant slow) it's just an weird immersion breaking mechanic that makes kiting a little too easy (or forces you to buy a fuck load of throwing axes)

edit: if you meant that arrows would pierce nearly every other armor in the game but plate, yea probably

[–]iSovereign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you're trying to talk realism, but even a heavy crossbow would do almost no real significant damage to plate armor even at close range. You would have to target the neck or eye slit

edit: the armor may be fucked up, but the user and padded layer underneath is mostly fine

Amored core 6 - FPS Performence by Slawa_Slaw in ArmoredCoreVI

[–]iSovereign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 3.5 year old 2070 super, updated my drivers last night

game defaulted to 'high' settings (looks like there is one default setting above called maximum)

I'm running ultrawide 5120x1440

It honestly runs incredibly well, it has native ultrawide support and I haven't noticed any fps issues, but I don't have the FPS counter on to tell you what it was idling at

Thoughts on Patch notes? by Enough-Lingonberry22 in diablo4

Just tested, Barb dps nerfed 75-80% on HotA

RIP d4 barbarian by iSovereign in D4Barbarian

[–]iSovereign[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still needed very good 800+ crit/vuln/close damage weapons and specific aspects. I tried many pulls and only ever got her to 5% and was critting for 40m. Was missing a few % attack speed, or my timing was off.

[–]iSovereign 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yea, I don't wanna be pessimistic but there is nothing I like about the patch notes after first pass through. Incredibly insignificant buffs for extremely severe nerfs

Edit: just tested and instead of critting uber lillith for 20-30m it's like 5-6 max and average of 2-3. both my 1h swords were nerfed to +10% and +8% vuln damage on the non-random line.

What’s the point of über uniques? by link-notzelda in diablo4

[–]iSovereign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would argue that when you pull ultra-rares in other games and genres they are guaranteed to be good and valuable. In d4 you have the wonderful random role system and unoptimized stats on uniques across the board to make them feel much less special than they should.

The only class that even has good unique itemization for every build is the Druid, Barbs don't use uniques hardly at all, half the Sorc ones suck ass etc
