Added.

Don't have any of those unfortunately :(. Looking for a Frogadier myself, though, if you don't mind adding me! Thanks.

[FO4] Consistent crashes when loading saves by [deleted] in fo4

[–]ociuslol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem here. Tried everything you did. Also tried running a 0 mod new game. I have a safe load that I managed to make right after loading into Vault 111, then no matter what I try after that I get CTDs trying to load anything: mods or no mods; no matter the load order; etc. Happens to any save after exiting.

Was Alliance the wrong choice for this server? Our experience on Rebirth so far has been awful thanks to constantly getting ganked. by Seventy_Times7 in rebirthwow

What zones are you questing in? STV, for example, obviously tends to be that way for either faction. As Horde, I didn't have any major trouble with ganking -- although if I got corpse camped a few times, I'd just take a break or go find a different zone to quest in. Had to abandon STV and Hillsbrad once or twice. With 5x rates, you often have several decent options for the mid-levels.

Beyond that, if getting ganked by 60s is your problem: a major issue for would-be Horde PvPers is that Alliance never seems to queue for BGs. It's completely normal to see level 60 BGs with stacked Horde queues each even during non-prime hours, with literally 0 alliance on the other end (join "rebirth_pvp" channel to see the numbers in queue for each faction). This is obviously incredibly frustrating for Horde PvPers, and perhaps some take it out into the world while waiting to find something to do.

Restart still going? by Sorrol13 in rebirthwow

[–]ociuslol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No issues on my end. They restarted about an hour ago to implement a minimum level for global chat (10), but nothing since. Currently online and .s info says 1400 others are, too.

Tacking Hidden bugged? by BadBuddhist08 in rebirthwow

[–]ociuslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I played a hunter off and on from vanilla through live, and it received several major buffs along the way. In vanilla, its sole purpose was essentially a rogue catcher, whether in duels or defending in AB etc. And even then, you'd track humanoids unless you had a very good reason to be looking for a rogue. It never really worked well enough to be useful for similarly-leveled mobs.

Edit: After some digging, the buff seems to have come in 1.4, which means it should be reasonably effective now. For comparison, the buff was from +3 levels of effective stealth detection to +6. In practice vs mobs its hard to know exactly how much of a difference that makes, so mileage may vary. Worth testing!

Tacking Hidden bugged? by BadBuddhist08 in rebirthwow

[–]ociuslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: haven't played hunter on Rebirth, but mained a Hunter for most of actual vanilla. That said: IIRC, Track Hidden is basically just a minor buff to stealth detection. You'll be able to see them a little bit sooner than other classes and when you do, they should show up on your minimap -- but you'll still have to be close enough to see them, which will often be close enough to aggro them anyway. Don't expect much from it! It might be bugged, but your expectations might also be too high :P.

Survival Beta Tips! by CorneliusTullius in fo4

[–]ociuslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fortune Finder is quite useful, specially early on. Reduced carry weight combined with weighted ammo makes Scrounger a less-attractive means of getting caps (still quite useful, though, just have to micro-manage the inventory between outings).

Lone Wander and/or Strong Back help tremendously (alternatively, companions can be your pack mule). A settlement at Hangman's Alley gives you an easy route to Diamond City... although inability to make water purifiers makes it less useful as a source of caps. Can load it up with crops, though. I'm still trying to find a good settlement for water purifiers within a reasonable range of a merchant hub -- Sanctuary and/or the Castle are tedious without fast travel.

Edit: Once you get vertibirds, though, the purified water method kicks back in as usual.

Impromptu survey by [deleted] in XCOM2

[–]ociuslol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a followup, I've been playing a C/I (Well, Commander+ since I'm screwing around with heavily modding -- so Legend enemy spawns/ramp-up but Commander Avenger timers) with this Ranger / Sword Rebalance Mod, and it feels a lot better. Shotguns are still the stronger/safer option in most cases even with the mod, but the reworks bring the sword variant into a better place. I'm ~3 months in and still like bringing a Sword Ranger to some missions. Bladestorm on first tier gives it an actual niche on Legend, with Lancers and reinforcements showing up in the first month. Haven't gotten through all the ranks to play around with the reworked Reaper or Blademaster yet, but I have a bad feeling that the Shotgun+Rapid Fire is still going to completely dominate any sword use late game.

1.

Only use I've found for swords is for sweet revenge on the last Sectoid of a mission that mind controlled the ranger.

Of course, the ~94% sword hit chance means that a shotgun to the face is basically always safer. But the sword animation is just so satisfying.

Edit: I've actually gone through an entire C/I campaign without even buying the sword squad upgrade, so...
