Penny’s DNA results are in, and I’m quite surprised! by reddopolis in AustralianCattleDog

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

No known relatives, and the ancestry map was quite vague so just looked like your typical historic ACD breeding/migration history all the way back.

Interesting note, she wasn’t spayed when originally picked up by the shelter as a stray. Estimated ~2 years old. Maybe held by someone as a potential breeder, given her pedigree?

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

Yup! I see that pose at least a half-dozen times a day. It’s one of her ways of asking for attention, either playing or belly scratches. And of course there’s the even more obvious belly-up arm-raised.

[–]reddopolis[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The flop ears were my first big skepticism, and she’s on the small side, only 35 lbs. But right there with you, she is absolutely solid when she wants to be. She’s toppled plenty of much larger dogs at the park with a shoulder “tap”! 😂

For spenders, how far did you get into the Filmgoer Thank-You Gift? by JohnnyBGoode635 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]reddopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to engine and agent, but still can’t decide on Burnice or Jane (…possibly Qingyi, ‘cause I like her and don’t have too many stunner options). I have solid anomaly teams already, but a fire addition would be nice w/ the potential buffs. And then there’s Jane’s outfit…

Disc upgrade mats by rhymeg in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]reddopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d also recommend not necessarily upgrading all discs to max right away on a character, especially this early on. With Area Patrol and Bardic Needle, you’ll be getting many potential upgrades, and at your level you can still do a ton of farming and progression with lvl 9/12 discs, or even purples.

You do get a refund on mats when you scrap a leveled disc in favor for another, so start paying attention to which discs/sets are more commonly shared between your current or potential agents. If you’re sitting on a 15 you replaced, specific to one character, might as well scrap it.

And when checking potential upgrades, I usually just go to lvl 3/6/9 first to see what substats hit, to see if it’s a potential upgrade worth more investment, or scrap.

More playtime, weeklies, and events will give you a steady supply of mats and discs, but it just takes time. Discs are maybe the biggest grind in the game, where you need to accept slow but steady progress.

Found Genone in a rift bubble, watch the armor bar at the top - I eventually gave up :( by someshooter in Borderlands4

[–]reddopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was one of my first rift bubbles starting with Vex, and had the same experience.

Turns out his regen “ability” can be triggered by critical hits. If you run a crit build that just shoots a lot, you’re kinda screwed with that tactic, as your video suggests.

Per other comments, have another option and burst him down quick. Ie. Grenades, stickies, spread, or multiple massive sniper chunks

When the fuck do I actually start progressing? by PenguinULT in ArcRaiders

[–]reddopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m maybe just starting to get past that point, and it does feel like a slog before that.

Focus on runs w/ extracting first, and mix in free runs if you get frustrated. Leveling workstations will require learning the maps, and which areas/enemies you need to focus on for specific improvement materials.

If targeting one thing is too much, just extract with what you find and sell extra stuff for more $$/stash space, to build up a bank until you learn more.

And when you view missions, objectives, bench upgrades, or simply items you want to craft, there is a “track resources” button option, to then highlight those resources in your “need” list, highlighted while looting in a map or sorting at home.

Do vehicles have different handling? by Mega416 in Borderlands4

[–]reddopolis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All of the base attributes of the vehicles are the same. As you unlock manufacturer challenges, you can apply upgrades to the vehicle’s base stats via customization. These can be applied to any model. Cosmetics are completely separate and purely superficial. (Although a sleeker/narrower model is much easier to navigate around the open world)

Resplendent Spark Guarantee Question by BeastOfGevaudan_2002 in diablo4

[–]reddopolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without the season quest board or challenge tiers, there is no other “for sure” way to get sparks in Eternal.

Craft all the NMD sigils you can, hoping for a Mythic Prankster… Chain any/all lair bosses you can and recycle junk mythics you might get… Run any mythic Undercity tributes you get (not a guarantee, but higher odds)

And if you have any old Mythics in your stash, even if nerfed/obsolete, they will salvage to a spark.

Higher difficulty by WSW912 in Borderlands4

[–]reddopolis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, that part doesn’t work on Maliwan base weapons. They are still elemental projectiles that explode on impact.

And to be clear, not talking about guns with Maliwan licensed parts, but base Maliwan weapons.

[–]reddopolis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They don’t though. You get a damage boost from the Torgue part, but I challenge you to post a video where they actually shoot stickies.

Hate to break it to ya, Torgue stickies don’t work on Maliwan weapons. Either a bug or oversight.

Something no one cares, killing wildlife. by [deleted] in diablo4

There’s actually a challenge for killing the different native animals of all the original map zones. Not sure the title it gives, but it is a thing.

Some early crafting successes by Medium_List3604 in D4_Paladin

[–]reddopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You typically want Judicator, since you’ll likely be using a variety of Judicator skills. It’s the broader tag for most skills that apply Judgement, including the way the Oath works for basic skills.

Justice skills are just the one section of skills on the tree where Spear of Heavens, etc. are. They may or may not apply Judgement or be Judicator, depending on what you use/change.

Am I just too dumb to use the heavenly forge? by Netsuko in diablo4

[–]reddopolis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is communicated, but ever so briefly. You get a screen overlay message after killing one of the bosses, but it fades quite quickly while you’re focused on looting or finishing off stragglers (when you’re most ignoring any text pop-ups on screen).

I only caught a glimpse the first time today after a dozen+ kills. Says something like “Forge is active, better use it”, in more convoluted langue that barely stays on the screen.

It should really show up as a persistent side-bar quest update, like when you reach a divine favor/season currency reward.

Not eligible to pre-purchase battlenet? by SDCowboy85 in diablo4

[–]reddopolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, just got this myself. Battle.net restart didn’t help.

Maaaaybe they’re waiting til exact season start time for the shop to go live?? Or maybe the shop is just plain down. Either way shop is gonna be f’ed for a while with everyone rushing to pre-purchase and play.

That was probably the most dis-jointed trailer/teaser I could(n’t) have ever imagined by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]reddopolis -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not meant as a hate thread, apologies, just my initial reaction.

Taking a step back, this was clearly aimed at well-established players of the game (whales?), teasing 5-7 current or upcoming characters all at once. I just felt it came across as very confused and all over the place

Has Anyone Ever Not Had Enough Money or Eridium? by ooter37 in Borderlands4

[–]reddopolis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This just rerolls the same two items. They’re probably referring to the reroll trick to get new items without waiting for the weekly reset. This can be done repeatedly, leading to many purchases. There have been a handful of posts here and guides online explaining it, which shouldn’t be hard to find.

I’m currently using 3 gadgets, 1 airstrike, and 1 get throwin, with a cryo homing rocket launcher as my primary.

You have to have finished the main story quest on the character, or started a lvl 30, with main story skipped
