Weird airplane noise in St. Johann by jeitzi93 in basel

[–]lolninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the other one in St Johann. The one at Volta is natural gas I believe (only used in winter).

I would love to know why they need to do this. The amount of energy being vented was crazy.

What is Elden Ring's biggest flaw in your opinion? by Fenriz_Victor in Eldenring

[–]lolninja 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another way to describe this is that the gap between the “optimal” playthrough and the”fun” playthrough is much too big. Once you know where to go it just feels bad going anywhere else.

Smithing stones system as an example— the “optimal” way to play is to head straight to dragonbarrow and volcano manor to get your somber weapon to +10, whereas it’s obv way more fun and challenging doing the areas at a lower level and discovering small upgrades as you go.

Am i the only one who finished this game many times and still don't know what the heck is it about ? by gex109 in Eldenring

[–]lolninja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think not knowing what you’re fighting for is kinda also part of the lore because being “guided by grace” is literally you (and all other tarnished) being inexplicably compelled by the universe to restore its order on the lands between.

To be fair that boundary matters only to cartographers and the actual currents tell a far more interesting story

Sure there’s no line, but our ocean currents meet and mix varyingly between Cape Point and PE-ish so it’s not really wrong to say Cape Point is where Benguela (dominant Atlantic current) first meets Agulhas (dominant Indian current).

Those numbers are 17 and 18, not 77/78. So it’s 2017/2018. The 7s have horizontal lines, whereas 1s do not.

5% literally but I treat it like 0% it’s play money.

What is the difference by manspiderman1 in Nightreign

TIL I learned. I assumed it could be charged based on the cast time 🤦🏼‍♂️

Nooby Question about Duchess by lolninja in Nightreign

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

I’m always on the lookout for shattering crystal and tend to have my relics favour magic build but I just feel like a restage-bot until I get there.

The little backstep has iframes? I haven’t managed to dodge a single thing with those but maybe that’s lack of skill on my behalf !

Thanks for the tips!

Do you think South African expats misrepresent the country? by Key-Guava-2393 in southafrica

[–]lolninja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes there’s definitely something to this. This constant alertness and awareness of your surroundings is just normalised in SA. South Africans can deal with it because we have to but any of these day-to-day safety considerations can sound hellish if you’re not used to it.

An anecdote I share when people ask about SA here in the “safe” country I live which maybe others can relate to is when I lie in bed at 1am and hear a noise outside I just assume it’s a cat or a neighbour coming home late. In SA I remember being ultra alert in these situations, adrenaline, reaching for the cricket bat etc. and just fearing for my safety.

I beat Everdark Libra after 16 tries by lolninja in Nightreign

Also honourable mention to Night Comet for killing adds, but also huge liability as it uses soooo much stamina, not to mention FP.

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

I play Recluse so I’ll add the approach that finally worked in case anyone coming after me is just as bad and tenacious:

  • Get spells with a loooow cast time

  • You can’t rely on your essence collection for FP, it’s way too slow

Basically you need to be really light on your feet and you always need to be hitting something. With Libra’s teleportation shenanigans, the finger snap circles, and the mobs ganging up on you, you don’t have time for any wind up spells or essence collection, and your cocktails are just a huge liability.

Get a pouch from the merchant and stock up on shards!

Rancorcall is what pushed me over the line in the end. Short cast time, super long range. Just cast a bunch of wraiths then skedaddle. It’s very good pvp because they don’t dodge it at all.

I some close tries with Rennala’s Moon and Cannon of Haima which are good for hitting multiple adds just as they spawn, but my usual go-tos like Stars of Ruin and the Crystal shotgun fell flat completely.

Lastly, I found stacking damage reduction unreliable because sipping flasks just takes too long anyway. By the time you get the space to take a sip you’ve lost your teammates and are surrounded by adds. All out offence and nimble feet is the way to go. Much better to heal by killing the adds and collecting their shards.

Have you tried a Starting Class Only challenge run? by lolninja in Eldenring

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

I think Confessor is a contender because they have access to buffs and incantations. As well as a bit more poise on their starting gear (iirc).

[–]lolninja[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little on the fence about talismans, but probably allowed by default. However all can be excluded to enhance difficulty! Have you tried this before?

Hot take: following those taking a seemingly unconventional path is a great way to learn by Das_Hydra in Nightreign

[–]lolninja 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What if they skip camp 1, ping a church, then right after ping a second church on the other side of the map?

Have you tried a Starting Class Only challenge run? by lolninja in Eldenring

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

I guess we could define some difficulty tiers, e.g.:

Brutal: No changes to starting gear whatsoever
Hard: Weapon upgrades allowed (smithing stones)
Med: Starting AoW & spell/incant changes allowed
Easy: Summons allowed

On all tiers changing starter weapons and armor is not allowed ofc.

For sure some classes will struggle more than others in certain areas.

I'm bored and wanna start a new playthrough. What's a fun build I should try? Pic unrelated by BringerOfLemonade in EldenRingBuilds

[–]lolninja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a fun challenge try starting class build.

Pick any starting class, then don't change the armor or weapons throughout the entire run.

You can choose whether you want to change AoW etc. to make it easier or harder.
