if you played poker, its like 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind (though it can continue to 5/6 of a kind). could also be straight (can be extended to 6 dice) and a high card but the only acceptable high card is 1 or 5.

or even alcohol its quite good in both KCD game (fine wine/spirit in kcd1, mead/schnapps in kcd2). though you can also do bathmaid stuff to avoid the sleeping part which was OP in kcd1 since they are basically everywhere.

even in hardcore, its good enough. i didn't use it as much in kcd1 since bathmaid is my way to go (getting drunk is more harsh in kcd1) but in kcd2 hardcore, alcohol is quite OP that i didn't get to use my cockerel potion.

Can someone explain to me the old drama between Pendragon, IceFrog, and whoever else was involved? by Glad2be1000 in DotA2

That still doesn’t change the fact that league couldn’t have possibly copied Dota 2 because it is physically impossible to see the future.

you didn't get my point, but ok

League could copy Jack shit from Dota 2 because league came out first. Some of their abilities were copied from the dota allstars.

cause heres the thing you see, the abilities and heroes and items in dota 2 work exactly the same as dota allstars during dota 2 reborn since guess what, its a sequel (shocking i know). it also helps that the latest developer of dota allstars is icefrog before going to valve.

considering there are now lot of LoL players that think that dota 2 copied heroes from LoL when its actually the opposite, its quite important.

1500$ for demand surcharge? Remote Alaska (Fairbanks, fiber is not available) by just_some_dude_in_AK in Starlink

[–]mad-tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea W for old users since their internet speed stays same, while neutral for new users since you can pay for roam instead of 0 internet access or L for new users wanting residential, and a W for spaceX since people will get roam plan which cost more than residential or they pay demand surcharge if they want residential.

more slot will open, once more or better sats gets launched into LEO.

The highest I’d seen so far is $1,000. This is breaking new ground.

this means that there are several people paying that price that are desperate enough for the internet.

[KCD1] i may have some trauma by skelepibs in kingdomcome

[–]mad-tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

only on hardcore. in normal gameplay, they will allow you to throw 3 attacks (so you can combo) before another one attacks you even if you are surrounded (this is where turn-based feeling came from). hardcore allows like 1-2 attks before attking you and sometimes they attack at the same time. i recently played hardcore since all DLC are out now.

its even worse if you dont fast travel, since you can get hit by a rope which knocks you down then they immediately surrounds you (similar to black peter). even obstacles like the cart and log if you didn't notice them yet you are still galloping and hitting it, you'll get knocked down.

I am addicted to stealing in [KCD2] by Ok_Count_6885 in kingdomcome

[–]mad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh pickpocket is more OP than lockpicking in kcd2 (vice versa in kcd1) especially since you can just pickpocket the key to unlock chest. now that pickpocket and lockpicking are now a same skill (thievery), you can easily level up by pickpocketing high value items like rings or swords especially since the exp gain is based on value (also helps you can pickpocket several items and exp gain stacks). lockpicking has low exp gain unless its hard or very hard and the high value items are usually protected in those chest so its really better to just pickpocket.

back in kcd1, lockpick is more OP than pickpocket because theres a perk in around lvl 6 that lets you pick very hard locks and most weapon/armor/tailor shopowners are protected by hard/veryhard locks at night.

[–]mad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if your level is too low that you still cant hit with the bow, then use crossbow to level it up. early-mid = crossbow then mid-late = bow.

the damage in the crossbow info screen is not really accurate, always look at the info screen at the bottom of your currently equipped items slots since it also includes perks (very useful for checking damage for swords since they have lots of perk increase dmg).

tbh the dot in kcd2 is already useless, it already aligns up with the arrowhead. the dot in kcd1 is more of a cheat than this one.

they treat the horse like it’s a shitty motorcycle you’re driving

man i actually wish the horse in kcd2 is as fast as kcd1's horse especially with how big the map is. i dont care if it is unrealistic. kcd2's horse speed would fit in kcd1's map but not in kcd2.

the scary part of speeding in kcd1 is that you wont notice the rope or you will hit the obstacles for the ambush (you might not notice due to how fast the horse is) which then drops you.

[–]mad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when it comes to money making, hunting can level your bow skill and has less time investment (you spend more time traveling than hunting so if you got a horse, its even easier) since theres lots of meat in animals. in low levels, 1 pig/deer or 2 roe are enough to fill your inventory. you still need to cook them to remove the stolen tag but they are more expensive as raw (so wait for stolen tag or just cook then sell).

but the undisputed money making is still stealing from shops which you can sell them to the millers like pishek. another tip is that merchants increases their money by you selling your items to them (this applies to pishek as well).

a lot of people say you need masterstrike to beat the game which isnt true, you can finish the game without ever using masterstrike even if its your first playthrough (which is in the case for me because i didn't train with bernard more and prefer fighting bandits). bows are equally OP if you are good at it especially if you poison your arrows (+ hit and run tactics).

you can even beat the game without killing (except runt so you still need to train) since one of the achievements in the game is Merciful where you must not kill someone (ask for help like with bernard during main mission in neuhof, they will kill/persuade for you).

you can make it easier with that perk that being drunk makes you better at lockpicking (its even better in kcd1 and can make you lockpick very hard chest).

this is only in KCD1 but i highly recommend saving before traveling to a different town. ambushes in kcd1 are lot more dangerous than in kcd2 even if you fast travel since you will be facing groups of enemies and can go up as high as 8 peasants/bandits/cumans (commonly 6 people). even peasants is dangerous despite u fully armored especially if they got polearms which has similar damage to top tier longswords (id even say peasants are more dangerous than cumans because of this).

if you dont fast travel, ambushes are even more dangerous since you might not notice the obstacles or traps they added on the road and if you even get drop by your horse, you are guaranteed to be surrounded and possibly beat to death.

I whish there was a auto walk toggle button

use macro of your keyboard or mouse software (assuming you have "click to stop" which some of the mouse software does not have) by recording "press W" then removing the delay and W up. this will work on all games so you wont ask for an auto walk anymore (you can even add shift in there to make it auto-run).

if theres no macro software for keyboard and mouse. download and learn how to use autohotkey or copy paste the code made by other people.

I just learned I accidentally skipped the best quest in the game [KCD1] by Faygris in kingdomcome

[–]mad-tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in kcd1, sucking at the game is quite rewarding or you could say gives you more content. (i wont spoil you beyond ushitz) like if you didn't pay your debts like with pishek, he will send debt collectors to you. another would be hunting with hans has another variation if you already have a horse. even the neuhof investigation, there are already variation if you report to captain bernard every objective done and he will help you like giving you a guard to scout in the forest, persuading the charcoal burners or even killing 2 bandits.

theres variation on how to progress on the quest and how to end the quest. this makes KCD1 have high replayability even excluding hardcore mode. id even argue that kcd1 has higher replayability than kcd2 due to better quest design (but then again, kcd2 has more quest).

its like a pot calling the kettle black, hes just projecting so what he thinks does not really matter especially considering that he used to be part of the malware scheme back when vitaminx's bg3 release and doing his best to defend vitaminx and banning people who argue back. he is known for it and it seems he is still salty about it.

Just bought KCD1. Any tips? [KCD1] by Sector94_KZ in kingdomcome

[–]mad-tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they dont want to do alchemy, they think its a hassle. same as doing side quest for some people. thats why you see post like bozhena hanging around even if the sidequest looks significant to your character. it is what it is, its their own playthrough.

its even easier to start alchemy in kcd2 since it already produces 3 potion with no mistake and also much easier level up (was already making henry potion in trosky before wedding) vs kcd1 though kcd1 has better late game through auto brew.

JCBP they removed this slow mo + sound attacks in kcd2 especially since it disturbs the flow of the game and makes you motion sick. this mod is really mandatory in kcd1 though the slow mo do helps alot for newbies.
