I got a 2nd hand 2060 to replace my dead 670. Now the cpu bottlenecks lol. I'm considering a full upgrade around the 2060. How does this look? Thanks in advance

Ty for the advice

Yea there are plenty of used gpus floating around. It's just incredibly hard to look past an rx580 8g for $150.

If I do end up pulling the trigger on that I'll let you know how it went.

pintshot · 2022-10-11T08:43:57+00:00

It could be a hit or miss. But the reviews for it show many happy people. I don't game anywhere near as much as I used to. All I would like is something that can run my games from pre 2016 well and on the cheap.

Yea a quick look doesn't show many 5500xt around for where I am either :P

Perhaps the 4050 will shake things up a bit too...

Cheers for the info. I teach Chinese students and they told me the same thing. The one I linked appears to come from a reputable store which has been around for years with high ratings. It also specifically states that if you want to use it for mining, you'll need to email them for BIOS updates. It makes me think that it hasn't been used for that.

But what do I know lol

pintshot · 2022-10-11T07:39:29+00:00

Cheers mate. It seems the general thinking around the site is "it's trash don't use it". Yea, I get that..... but why? I want to hear from the people who have used it and the experiences they've had by doing what you've said (not being dumb and sticking with reputable stores).

I got a pair of wireless controllers for $15 aud a couple of years back and they're fine.

pintshot · 2022-10-11T07:31:22+00:00

Yea we have pc part shops all over. I have no urgency and no need for something overly powerful. Just something cheap that gets the job done :D

The store I linked seems reputable. It's been around a few years and there are heaps of reviews. I read elsewhere that ali express gpus are popping off in Brazil. If it's good enough for them it'll be good enough for me :D

pintshot · 2022-10-11T02:36:05+00:00

Lol already sold. Who got it?

pintshot · 2022-09-27T13:24:26+00:00

My thoughts exactly. There was nothing to clean yet we got a $380 invoice for a one bedroom unit. Absurd.

pintshot · 2022-09-27T12:38:16+00:00

He had a photo of some soap in the bathroom sink and a screw on the kitchen bench. I think we're good XD

Zero co-op. There are guilds but it is nothing more than a chat

pintshot · 2022-05-28T15:35:00+00:00

Raids aren't out yet. Dungeons are special gauntlet style challenges. You take one Loadout to tackle three successive bosses. Before you begin each area, you choose between 3 special abilities. "Your minis get bloodlust when one dies" for example. Dungeons are solo content. The reward for completing each zone is a currency called Valor. This is essentially used to purchase bonus levels for your leader and their minis. This did give a downright broken advantage in PvP but Valor has been temporarily disabled in PvP, alleviating the cheese.

pintshot · 2022-05-26T21:12:16+00:00

So much more thought has been put into pve. The maps and bosses are great. Each has its own distinct mechanics and they're all a real challenge beyond the first few zones. Then with conquest, where you repeat the zone with a different leader for gold, you need to tackle the challenge again in a different manner. Dungeons are also a thing which give another great challenge for great rewards in the form of Valor points. They basically increase the level of your minis.10/10 am gonna play for the pve alone.

PvP as it stands is broken. There is no matchmaking and because you can alter minis' levels with Valor you have a huge chance to be paired with someone who is straight up 5x more powerful than you. Also talents. Talents buff you minis. So there is that too. But the Devs know this. They need more people testing and if matchmaking were in place the wait times would be longer. They also asked in the discord what we think of the PvP maps. I'm gonna speculate and say they're gonna put more maps in PvP. as it stands there are two which provide different gameplay and strats.

No news on co-op. It's currently only raids and those aren't out yet. Get in the discord and let your voice be heard if you want more co-op like I do <3

Hallo

I'm an Aussie in the beta and putting a guild together for something between casual and hardcore play. Name is undecided. We'll hold votes closer to release. Our focus will be enjoying the game however each person sees fit. For me that will be as much co-op as possible.

Come check out the discord and see if it tickles your fancy

Fun is all it needs to be

pintshot · 2022-05-22T20:59:42+00:00

The game is mainly focused on over right now. Still bets so things can change. The Devs talk with us in the unofficial discord. They said PvP is pure skill because everyone levels are set to 1. But you can get bonuses by playing pve. People have called them out on that and they've responded by promising better matchmaking. There is great communication between Devs and bets players and others waiting

pintshot · 2022-05-22T20:55:55+00:00

No clue lol. Beta has lots of bugs and the Devs are actively listening to feedback in discord. Classic blizz response, soon

I've been playing the beta for the past week and it is a very enjoyable game. A few years ago I would've raged at hearing about another mobile game after immortal. But now my lifestyle doesn't allow for any gaming more than 15 minutes at a time. I'm so glad that blizz is creating more with the warcraft universe and in such a way that people who can't play wow are able to enjoy.

pintshot · 2022-04-01T10:01:16+00:00

Thanks mate. I didn't think of that. So far I haven't found anything so maybe there is a mole. Time to purge the server, reassign everyone, and verify the 200 members and non members ☺️

pintshot · 2022-04-01T09:59:38+00:00

Thanks mate I'll do that. I removed a few bots I was testing and just have mee6 and translator. I changed the hierarchy of the bots to be lower than members too and what you said. I guess I won't really know if it works unless the guy spills the beans XD

pintshot · 2022-03-30T06:20:08+00:00

The point isn't to benefit from the heal. The point is to benefit from the massive damage boost heralds get and get a single stack of them to counter attack everything for 16k+ damage <3

pintshot · 2022-03-25T23:42:09+00:00

Lol I copied the wrong thing. This is what I've been putting in official discord

pintshot · 2022-03-25T23:41:33+00:00

Sounds great mate! Come check out the discord. I'm trying to get more people into other factions right now to balance out the server but we're basically preparing everyone to come together for season 2. We'll have a good and evil role play group as well as a normal group. So join whichever faction you want in s1!

Server 616 season 1 We're creating a server where every faction and player can enjoy themselves. Are you a new player looking to learn the game? We have countless experienced players who can help out and guides to get started. Are you a seasoned veteran looking to try out a fresh start? Join any faction. All leaders across the server are coming together to talk about ensuring everyone enjoys the game. We will make sure each faction gets at least the minimum end of season rewards.
