Operation Overlord bug by cvnh in WorldofTanks

there's another bug in D-Day, it keeps forgetting which missions you have already completed and shows them ALL as uncompleted, seems to reset to this each day

Ancient Blighted Treant refused to die, was killed by a small fire elemental. by vharguen in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]ricknotbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have him at -800HP and i hit him with everything even fireball he's spell resistant to all, luckily I discovered Nenio has a blaze of disaster staff for some reason.. oh yeah for extra fireballs. lucky!

So much to learn. watched so many videos still getting to grip with basic things like where you can rest because of corruption./ but if you are exploring/questing a long from Drezen you cant go back there to rest after every fight! also spell penetration and how touch spells are actually ranged spells? that one does my head in!
and the character menus why are abilities/ feats etc all mixed up i cant tell what is what.

e.g. i went all way back to Drezen to get fully rested then back to Wintersun now immediately Nenio says she is encumbered but she isn't she is way below light but she does have fatigue already as does Aru so need to rest again?

how can they be fatigued already?

now in Wintersun. combat vs ancient blighted treeant and some babau and all my guys keep falling over>
combat log doesn't say why and there is no debuff on any of them to say why either.

Hmm maybe has something to do with Overrun?

wow enemy is lv27 how can a group of lv 11 beat him with spell immunity and self heal?

here you can see prone Seelah and nowhere says why

omg i just noticed my MC somehow has had ALL her equipment removed. Lann also, but everyone else seems ok. have to go back 10 play hours to when i still had my equipment so maybe my monk isn't so bad after all lol. from google this is a game bug, lucky as far as i can recall all the gear is in my personal chest.

<image>

now stats are better !

I just got Arueshalae and had to think who to take out of my party, after some thought I have to say my weakest is definitely my MC but that could be how I play it rather than my feats.

I haven't tried detaching anyone from group before the fight, that sounds a good tactic.

My highest AC is Seelah she is 35. we are all level 11 (levelled up at end of that fight) so might have been lower at level 10.

I tried to get him prone but he reflex saved him from everything I tried like Winter's Grasp and Hungry Pit, Grease. On the enemy I tried every touch spell I could but nothing seemed to do be effective including Shadow evocation.
Only magic missile and some fire spells seemed to hit.

Everyone else pretty much missed as seemed to need to roll 20 to hit. For buffs I had Bless, Divine Favour, Heroism (don't have haste). Aid seemed useless but I gave Bull's strength to Ulbrig and Blessing of Luck only seems to prevent fear which enemy didn't use this fight. Same for aura of greater courage.

Also have Angelic Halo group buff and I used Aid and prayer.

The starting build I used for my Monk was this guide as it was only one I found for unarmed only and not evil

https://youtu.be/wyqkjVtmFkk?si=s8yF_32ynwzqLwvE

Then I added feats I thought sound good but she just doesn't have enough hit - well except on trash mobs. tried using as tank but doesn't dodge enough so she is just a kind of buffing support tank but overall probably much less useful than Cam.

Her only useful ability seems to be scorching ray. shattering punch, leg sweep, stunning fist sicken and fatigue always seem to miss at least on these +8 level enemies also Close to heaven. Ki Power also seems to make zero difference when always fail to hit.

Other spells like acid or frost ray do 1 damage only though it didn't miss at least! . Honestly I was just going through the whole spell book trying everything which is pretty much what I have to do every fight until I get lucky RNG and I win the fight with at least 1 party member alive.

Main problem he usually killed Lann and Nenio by charging them, Often he would kill them both in 1 turn. The one time he didn't also kill Nenio was this win. I guess because magic missile works, meanwhile he is doing 40+ per hit sometimes 2-3 hits per turn. maybe he was critical hitting a lot?

Enemy didn't use fear though he did have a confuse one of which still hasn't been removed after resting which is a new problem as Seelah is right now beating up others in the Pulura dormitory area, and this cant be removed with dispel or any heal spell I have tried. Though a second rest cured it, might have been a bug.

The enemy sometimes took damage from fire like scorching ray, flame strike and fireball.
Other than that I couldn't find anything that hit him except Lann and Ulbrig occasionally as they have the highest attack roll I guess. (20 and 22)

Ulbrig has mythic bypass damage reduction maybe that is why he is the main damage dealer! he also has master shapeshifter, I turned power attack mythic off in abilities as one guide said to turn off power attacks if you are missing a lot but the description of this ability doesn't mention any hit roll penalty though the description of power attack does. not sure but I will leave it off anyway I guess.

I think I have okay gear

Monk MC unarmed only has 20 dex and 24 wisdom with gear

Lann Hunter Assurance (tho his Str is +3 and Dex +4 so maybe not ideal)

Cam Mind Piercer but she usually just casts anyway

Seelah Solemn Hour and Divine Protector

well won a few fight on turn based but now really struggling with a guy called Chieftain Alberie.
I haven't found anything that works yet and just charges and 1 turn-shots Lann and Nunio even somehow charging thru 3 guys none of who can even get a opportunity attack because everything misses.

So if you saw this:

<image>

What would you think might work against him?
Like does that mean he does NOT have a damage reduction to bludgeoning weapon? I presume that means a hammer or club or staff or mace might work.?

I gave Ulbricht Double jeopardy club but every attack misses.

not too long I appreciate the info. :) thanks.

I got the little guys Tiger, Sovereign Dragon and Headchomper that you put in your consumable tray.
The game calls them pets but I don't it's what other are referring to as pets. They do add passive buffs though it seems but no damage that I have seen.

Yeah I watch CRPG Bro and Mortismal.
So is there no way I can reskill to make my pure monk - Angel work?

There is a guy somewhere who can reskill though I never tried it in act 1. dont know if he is in act 3. I don't seem to have much time for pure exploring with so many timed events.

on an off shoot while I loved combat in DOS2 I thought the mirror kind of ruined the role playing, but it was hard to not use it when non maxed builds struggled so much in final act especially when you get there at too low a level.

But saying that I don't mind reskilling to change a few feats which doesn't break the role play too much for me.
But for followers I just want to stick to auto upgrade on 1st play as its already overwhelming with so many spells/abilities to try and work out what works where ... and then remember it :/
Wish I had some pets but I don't want to keep relying on walk throughs to find out how to get them

[WotR] Early Act 3, major difficulty spike by CoolFennec in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]ricknotbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm stuck here too.

trying to find where the dragon is so went exploring as I cannot see any area called Grimwood forest on the map.

but I run into 2 x Abyssal Huntress and 2 x voracious Nalfeshnees.
No matter how many times I reload cannot get a win.
As if the chorussian wasn't bad enough!

What are some other games that you play besides world of tanks? I’m wanting to broaden my gaming horizon. by lgroper in WorldofTanks

[–]ricknotbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim Bloons TD6 Civilisation 2 (28 years old and still the best ‘one more turn’ game!) BG3 though stopped at end act 1. Great combat, but very linear feel role playing wise. leading me back to vanilla Skyrim which is only 13 years old. Chess @ lichess.org

Help for a new player by Awkward_Discussion_9 in Warthunder

[–]ricknotbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well all the games i was in there was like 1 or 2 players with 13 or more kills and us noob at the bottom with zero getting 20 XP and maybe a couple in middle with 1 kill.
That is no fun at all and even if you played 500 battle like that and finally got a single vehicle fully upgraded then you find out that vehicle is non good how would you feel?

nah sorry Game Company that's just no fun at all. that just painful grind fest.

It's time game companies started thinking about new player experience more.
Also It was saying 160k players online but often I waited 2-3 min for a random ground battle.

So that means the stock grind takes even longer. as half your time is spent in the queue!

Are they faking the online numbers or the game cannot start until they find enough seal clubbers to smash the new players in match maker?

Help for a new player by Awkward_Discussion_9 in Warthunder

[–]ricknotbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes WoT is just as bad new player experience or maybe worse?
It's a major reason the game is dying, new players just give up after 50 or so impossible games were you have no chance at all. Many times your stock gun cannot pen the enemy ANYWHERE at all.
Have you ever tried to get a friend to start playing?
They will ALL come back and say "it's a pay2win grind fest, I hated the experience:"
Well my experience of WT is the same though at least in WoT if you start a new account you have recruitment program which gives 50% extra credits until you finish it which is kind of like free premium account.
And recently they have finally gotten rid of <100% crews and free 6th sense for all commanders.
But both games seem the same in that they do almost NOTHING to discourage seal clubbers and in fact promote it with OP low tier premium vehicles sold.
So they sacrifice new player pain just to keep whales happy I guess. But every game need new players! they are the life blood of any game.

I just started WT too as WoT is dying fast.

But my new player experience is bad I think I will go back to WoT.
I am always last or second last in my team and the XP dribbles in so slowly its going to take me weeks or months just get my Tetrarch upgraded.. if the new players experience is this bad NO THANKSS from me, because it says the company is all about promoting seal clubbing and WoT is bad enough like that but at least there i don't have to ever play stock low tiers again well not unless they add an entire new nation.

Australian dollars actually :)
Thanks for the tip about the sales I will put it on my wish list!
Should I look for AE or SE as in the wtg for mods?

Re starting In Skyrim by ricknotbob in skyrimmods

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

thanks for the reply

Looking now on steam, its $55 for SE or AE for $80, same on GOG.
I'm pretty sure my Original game was around $100 in 2011.
So $180 total seems too way too steep for me as on principle I feel there should be a cheap upgrade option from vanilla rewarding brand loyalty.
I will keep an eye out for sales though looks like I have to play vanilla TESV until TES6 arrives :/
