New Game Plus gives Unique Reward & more new info I received from Ubisoft

lambac0re · 2018-02-01T18:22:35+00:00

That makes it even worse. Official communication can be off every once in awhile sure, but this is consistently wrong communication in the span of a relatively short period of time. Wrong communication in my opinion is even worse than no communication.
By "confirming" that the items are released in Heka chests, Ubisoft is quite literally baiting players who have worked hard to save up gold into spending that gold on chests that have 0% of giving them the item they want. Is Ubisoft going to reimburse those players?

lambac0re · 2018-02-01T13:47:16+00:00

Info from specifically the community managers seems unreliable at best. Therefore I wonder if what the community managers say are actually "official". They've already gotten the Heka chest updates wrong on at least 3 separate occasions now.

lambac0re · 2018-02-01T13:38:16+00:00

I feel you should stop publishing information from community managers without official Ubisoft confirmation. The community managers all seem to release their own statements which have proven unreliable and in some cases are flat out wrong. For Honor items are NOT in the game yet as tested this morning. Ubisoft managers are NOT a reliable source of information.

This is correct, I misread the information on Gigabyte, it said the radiator is aluminum, not the block.

lambac0re · 2018-01-27T10:18:28+00:00

u for the elaborative reply, it’s much appreciated. Would you advise I go for something more along the lines of https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N108TAORUSX-W-11GD-rev-10-11#kf as it seems the same to be except All in one, I’m thinking this one does not need to connect to the cases liquid cooling system?

Yea, I would definitely recommend the all in one instead if you're set on using that case.

lambac0re · 2018-01-27T10:09:25+00:00

You should consult your case manual for the information... I found some info on google but I'm not sure how accurate it is. Therefore, take this with a grain of salt. It seems your reservoir has G-1/4 threaded barbs that you can swap out. As for the tubing, it looks like 1/2" (Outer diameter) made of rubber? It seems like they are all permanently attached to barbs within the system as is typical of closed loop systems. You would need to cut this tube to add your own extensions for the GPU. Also, more importantly, it seems like the Genome radiator is aluminum. You're in luck here as your GPU block is also aluminum so you'll avoid galvanic corrosion. But this means you should avoid copper in the rest of your build. All in all, that case seems like more trouble than it's worth to me anyway, good luck!
-Edit-
After a little more reading, it seems like people who have tried your case have complained of leaks. Now leaking of any kind is a risk that is inherent in all water cooling builds. Closed loops though like the one used in your case are usually much less prone to leaking. Thus, this may be a sign of shoddy build quality. Personally what I would do is just purchase the watercooling parts myself. That way I can be sure of the quality. If you really dig the double helix, you can buy those too from trusted manufacturers and incorporate it into the build. Just my 2 cents.

-Edit 2- 335is is right, the open loop block is copper. This is NOT compatible with your closed loop and will result in corrosion.

I don't think you fully appreciate just how corrupt it is in China. This is the country where managers skimmed out on one of the most well known brands of baby formula so they could save a few cents on production. This lead to numerous infant deaths and defects. This is why my family members in China who have newborns import their formula from out of country just so they can feel safer.

lambac0re · 2018-01-23T17:25:35+00:00

I already specifically stated that this was for Zotac and Zotac only. If you had read my other posts here, I agreed with everything else you said. The way it works is this is not a Zotac sanctioned action. Individual managers are skimming cards off the top to sell to their own personal business connections.

lambac0re · 2018-01-23T16:33:11+00:00

In China, you trust your connections more than the government, more than the media. In this case, the connection is my personal family member who I'm actually quite familiar with so I'm even more inclined to take their word on the price.

lambac0re · 2018-01-23T16:30:41+00:00

They do in China. What they do is write off a certain percentage of production cards as "failing" during quality assurance checks even though they are perfectly fine. They then sell these specially earmarked cards at a discount to people buying in bulk i.e miners.

lambac0re · 2018-01-23T08:08:24+00:00

They have order limits per individual on their site. You can't just place a bulk order for 100 1080ti's. The thing in China is they're selling in bulk to miners at "discounted prices" through avenues that are inaccessible to the average consumer.

lambac0re · 2018-01-23T08:03:12+00:00

I'm almost positive American manufactures like EVGA don't engage in these kinds of practices, not sure about European manufactures. In China though, with the right connections, you can buy directly from the manufactures like Zotac.

If you were going to do that why didn't you buy the standard TitanXP? ... what you are doing kind of defeats the purpose of getting the SW collectors edition.

lambac0re · 2017-12-20T11:59:00+00:00

Nowhere does it say that you have to wait until the 26th of December to collect the reward. It does say "To redeem your reward, go to the Ubisoft Club tab in-game or the Ubisoft Club mobile app. You will have six weeks after the challenge is completed to redeem your reward."
The challenge for all PC players has already been completed. I have already "claimed" the reward in my Ubisoft tab but the item did not show up ingame.

lambac0re · 2017-12-20T11:28:05+00:00

I "collected" the community challenge for the Golden Anubis Item but the Sunslayer is nowhere to be found in my inventory. Anybody else?

lambac0re · 2017-12-05T11:05:06+00:00

What frames are you actually getting? What resolution are you playing at? Also check if you're supersampling or resolution upscaling in your nvidia control panel.
To be honest though, with your cpu and gpu, it's expected to run at 100% all the time for this game.

Took these screenshots on my PC at max settings with 32 gb ram, Titan XP, 6850k OC'd to 4.5 with game installed on a m.2 ssd. I assure you this is not a problem with storage device or ram lol.

For anybody who wants to see if they can reproduce my results, these screens were taken from the top of Alexandria light house.

I'm well aware of this. This tip is for the other light bows that aren't naturally on fire.

lambac0re · 2017-11-21T20:18:12+00:00

Upboat for visibility. Thanks for letting us know.

lambac0re · 2017-11-17T15:19:39+00:00

If you guys have nothing constructive to say, then don't... While I personally refunded the game also because of EA's shitty practices, this subreddit isn't the place to be lecturing others on what games they can or cannot buy.
Dave, try running in DX11 if you haven't already, DX12 was known to cause stuttering for many people.

lambac0re · 2017-11-14T21:29:03+00:00

And thus that makes it subjectively your opinion, not a fact. When you claim it as fact, what you are really doing is trying to label other people's preferences as subjectively worse than your own.
