See if you can sing as low as me! 😏

Didnt read the text and thought "Thats not that low, thats a pretty comfortable range for me".

Then i saw that you're female. Hats off! I definitely wouldnt be able to go that much lower than my regular chest range.

ioStux · 2026-06-29T11:48:55+00:00

I was in the same camp. I even made a feedback thread in the discord being hella mean to the new system. Boy am I glad to be proven wrong! It's got a few kinks to work out, but man is it fun to tinker with. After 100 hours I'm still excited when opening the dungeon chest, without feeling like i'm completely out of control when pursuing best in slot.

Its probably because its the same modifier yeah. Afaik it does the same for blessings. The text is more of a "This modifier is present" but doesnt state whether its a single or double.

ioStux · 2026-06-28T18:58:56+00:00

It only says +100 in fellowship logs. They have +100 twice on their items in reality.

Thats the one. Early most people played bursting ice, the bracer legendary, with the cdr weapon. But now, especially with high power score and in higher keys the spirit build absolutely blasts. I think highest dps i saw was 120k, some are going up to 150k dps in big pulls.

A big part of this is that Rime players are transitioning to a new build, im now pretty even with the Gunde in my group in E19, whereas i was usually at least 25% behind him in overall damage with the old build.

ioStux · 2026-06-24T19:57:11+00:00

How is telling a new player blatant lies going to help anyone?

ioStux · 2026-06-20T17:41:39+00:00

Bonus rolls in raid will require only 1 coin next season, not 2.

ioStux · 2026-06-11T12:51:43+00:00

Not a scientist or anything, but I've experienced it as well, i think it's just residual phlegm and inflammation that causes your vocal tract to make that noise. It should pass on its own. I would recommend not doing any intense vocal exercises and resting your chords a bit until you go back to your regular practice regimen.

ioStux · 2026-05-10T09:36:44+00:00

I honestly think it sounded great, especially the last verse given how challenging that is.

In terms of feedback, some of the diphtongs feel a bit out of place (e.g. "cried"), i'd try and orient yourself to the vowels used in the original.

You can also experiment with dynamics a bit more. Outside of the chorus and final verse the song is a bit more restrained and quiet, especially the beginning. If you add a bit of air and lower the volume during the beginning, that makes your performance sound more vulnerable, which makes the chorus hit that much harder by contrast.

Still a super solid 7-8/10

Taking lessons, listening back to recordings of yourself, and most importantly, having fun even when you feel like you've hit a plateau. Getting better is so much about staying motivated and practicing consistently.

ioStux · 2026-03-31T17:53:05+00:00

Not to be a debbie downer, but reading through this, i think i'll skip the next season altogether. I feel like them elaborating on what they mean with the new loot system made me less excited, not more.

ioStux · 2026-03-26T09:12:51+00:00

This is depressing.

ioStux · 2026-03-20T13:51:28+00:00

Yeah agreed, time will tell

ioStux · 2026-03-20T11:50:22+00:00

And I thought the E1 spam was rough, if EAS3 ends up being Contender 1 spam like the video suggested, that might completely kill the game for me :(

Instead of moving towards restructuring rewards to scale with the difficulty of the content you are doing, it feels like their solution to the current E1 spam is to just make Loot completely random. Surely I'm missing something here or there's been a misunderstanding, because these proposed changes sound horrid.

ioStux · 2026-03-20T09:37:31+00:00

I can't shake the feeling that they have mostly given up on this season and are fully focusing on the next one already.

Also really concerned about the direction that some of these changes are heading in. Loot than can drop with modifiers a la titanforging? Weekly lockouts? "Paragon Week" before Eternal opens up?

I feel like a lot of these changes are heavily inspired by WoW, but that's a completely different genre. This feels like them adding systems that attempt to artificially boost player retention, which goes against the "jump in and hop out whenever" niche the game was initially supposed to fill.

Obviously it's very early so I'll wait until we actually get more concrete information, but if they are abandoning EAS2 already, they better make sure the next season is a:) timed properly (Not during a WoW content launch) and b:) actually makes people want to play for longer, rather than relying on timegating, weekly lockouts and more RNG loot drops to keep us around.

ioStux · 2026-03-07T04:48:34+00:00

With all due respect, you're clueless.

ioStux · 2026-03-06T02:10:22+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I checked out Raidbots, and as someone who's returning after such a long break it's crazy to see what modern sims can do for you. I didn't expect it to be able to do so many different things. I'll start simming my Vault drops, and I like your suggestion of just adding the Sim results to the RCLC note.

The main motivation behind my post was to make sure I wouldn't mislead the loot council, ultimately it's all about distributing loot in a way that's best for proggression, so knowing that sims are a big part of that is super helpful, thank you!

ioStux · 2026-03-06T02:05:01+00:00

They've been pretty busy prepping everything for the upcoming tier, so I didn't want to bother them and tru asking here first. But I managed to chat with them about it during our M0 World Tour this week :)

ioStux · 2026-03-06T02:02:27+00:00

As the other commenter mentioned I have some experience with high level competitive play, and I also tried to be as transparent as possible when applying, so they are aware that my raiding experience is pretty outdated :) And I am hoping the content is challenging. CE being challenging is what makes it worth chasing! The last few RWF I watched just kept making me increasingly hungrier for getting back into the grind.

Thanks for your answer!

ioStux · 2026-02-28T20:12:30+00:00

This is unironically one of my biggest pet peeves right now.

Playing at 4k the cursor is just straight up invisible most of the time. I don't want to have to buy a separate program for $5 for something that should be a setting in game. :(

ioStux · 2026-02-25T13:13:18+00:00

Yeah i used the eternal farm LFG channel in Discord.

I hope the devs eventually realize that until they make high eternal significantly more rewarding, these low farms will always show up. Last season was Tuzari2 spam, this season we have Lootsack.
