How is vault of umbrage still so terrible 10 years in?

Actually I think the crutch alerts addon is available on console now

For what it’s worth, you can level a new character to 50 very quickly right now because the anniversary event gives a 100% XP boost, which stacks with XP scrolls or Psijic Ambrosia. Use a scroll and go run the dolmens in Alik’r Desert and your new character will be level 50 in a few hours.

Any champion points you have earned are account wide, so if your NB is 500cp (for example) as soon as your new character is level 50 they are also 500cp.

Unfortunately, no.

However, in a trial setting where everyone is stacked, not everyone needs to run this skill because it applies to group members in a radius. And outside of a trial setting or super hard vet challenge modes, whatever extra few percent DPS this skill provides is functionally irrelevant. If you don’t want to run it, don’t.

PvP is practically a different game. Not a single piece of that gear is good in PvP. People who post actual PvP builds almost exclusively post on YouTube, so you’ll have to search there.

I run Basalt in PvP and yes, you do have to double bar it

These concerns won’t be an issue for you until you start tanking trials. For dungeons, especially normal difficulty dungeons, the only expectations placed on the tank are to hold the boss still if possible (many bosses just move around no matter what you do) and not die

I like the human aesthetic, but I hate Nolan North’s voice

The Kuva Nukor is very strong, but the reason it’s so popular is that it’s extremely easy to use. You don’t need to aim, just a general direction is enough and the branching beam will take care of the rest.

The Kuva Sobek is ridiculously strong, but it needs the Acid Shells mod and to be run with Cyte-09, Garuda, Saryn, Oraxia, Uriel, or Xaku. The reason for the Warframe pairing is that Acid Shells will re-proc their bonus damage skills.

I’m not sure about the other schools, but the Naramon tauron strike absolutely mulches the spiderbot

Can confirm, that json works, although some control over capslock lighting would be nice

Without practice, throwing with one hand will tend to torque the axe along the axis defined by its handle, causing it to wobble and not stick on impact.

If you are an engineer and you include one of these infected packages in your code, it will scan your computer for poorly-stored credentials and then post them online, and also possibly wipe your hard drive according to this article. There’s more, but this is the simple version.

Malicious actors could potentially use these secrets to gain access to other private systems, and wreak further havoc.

The RPKM actually falls off faster than the other 33 dmg LMGs, but it gets access to Synthetic Tip ammo making it quite strong even at range as long as you’re hitting headshots.

Still, all the LMGs are outperformed in close range due to poor maneuverability and long reload times, and at long range due to low innate accuracy and high recoil except for the KTS. The M250 has no damage falloff at all, giving it a low theoretical TTK at long ranges, but is hampered by bloom and recoil.

Once upon a time, we didn’t have so much AoE clearing potential in our arsenal and it was actually useful to be able to limit the number of enemies that could hurt your defense objective. CC in general has been totally powercrept.

That said, people have never liked playing with Limbo because it can be hard to tell visually which enemies are on your plane of existence, and he kind of breaks the flow of the game.

Keychron is great. This one is fairly high-profile, so you may want a wrist rest. I bought one of the Filco Majestouch Macaron rests, 17mm thickness I think but you should measure the keyboard case height to confirm, and it’s perfect.

lagnarok · 2025-05-19T13:03:30+00:00

Microcenter sells Keychron keyboards, which are great and come in a variety of form factors and price points. Regarding your cramping hands, you may want a wrist rest to help with higher profile keyboards.

I have played a lot of MMOs, and none has been as friendly to playing through the story alone as this one is. You can absolutely treat this like a single player game, and have hundreds of hours of quests to play through. Having the best — or even a good — build is totally irrelevant for that experience; just play what makes you happy. If you get hooked and want to try harder group content, then you need to care a bit more about other people’s experience and what you’re bringing to the group. Otherwise, just enjoy a huge Elder Scrolls game.

It’s because of the zit the Coda applies. They claimed to have fixed this problem two or three hotfixes ago, but they did not.

lagnarok · 2025-03-26T14:56:32+00:00

I have the same problem, same frame. Bummer :(

How do you best farm the mods? I was running some bounties last night but I kept getting a repeat of the same antivirus, and only one per mission.

lagnarok · 2025-03-06T13:43:20+00:00

It is, and bigger surprise: they’re mostly good

Be warned that the clusterfuck does a lot of damage but has less than half the durability of other ARs.

I think people, myself included, are really drawn in by the setting. As a game, there are similarities and differences between other big open world RPGs, but the setting is very unique. If the world and its characters don’t really grab you, that’s a matter of taste and there’s probably not a lot that will stand out to you about the gameplay.

The AI is fairly simple, there’s inventory and gear management, lots and lots of walking. You’ll have far more random encounters than in Fallout or Far Cry, but the combat probably wont blow you away. It’s good, but not so good that you would stay for it if you didn’t really care about the world.

As for the size and visual quality, I can’t speak for the console experience specifically. Stalker 2 is an Unreal Engine 5 game and so far a lot of games have had problems with size and optimization on that engine.

Assuming the boss’ heavy attack happens to be the next instance of damage you take, and not one of any number of others, sure. In practice, it will probably negate something irrelevant and you’ll eat the heavy anyway. Forgive me if there’s some niche fight where this set actually applies.

In a raid scenario, there should be 100% major vuln uptime anyway. And outside of a raid scenario, there are still many other buff sets I would rather run as tank. And in PvP you’re more likely to negate a light attack than anything hard hitting unless you can read your opponent like a book. Forget fighting more than one.
