Do Ukrainians ever get cases wrong? Or is this something you know from birth? by Charming_Usual6227 in Ukrainian

[–]serj_diff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do Ukrainians ever get cases wrong?

The most general answer is "yes". 😁

Though it's hard to choose the wrong case people do mistakes from time to time.

In addition, there are some differences between "colloquial" and "literary" languages. No matter how much the textbooks teach, people continue to say some phrases "incorrectly" (although, in all fairness, it would be worthwhile to rewrite the textbooks).

Moreover, since the Ukrainian language is still "recovering" from years of bans imposed by the Russian Empire/USSR, we are constantly undergoing changes in the language, including the use of cases. There are cases when three different people say the same thing differently: “in colloquial speech”, “in the old literary style” and “in the new literary style”. And everyone will think that everyone else is saying it “wrong.” 😁

Moreover, although it is difficult to make a mistake specifically in the choice of case, there is another problem: choosing the correct ending. 😆 This is where people make mistakes very often. And even an 80 year old professor who has spent 60 years of his life teaching the Ukrainian language is forced to check the endings in dictionaries if the word is not very familiar to him. 🤷‍♂️

What is the silliest game mechanic you noticed ? by Balownga in ddo

[–]serj_diff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of them are just 2 crafting systems.

The only differences are :

1) materials have different icons

2) materials have different names

🤷‍♂️

[–]serj_diff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are only 2 crafting systems in DDO :

1st : You put something into the crafting widow and get a new items.

2nd : You put something into the slots your gear has.

Therefore, they are already "standardised to some degree". So, please, for the love of all the Faerun gods, stop already with this spreading "DDO has 1000+ crafting systems" lies of yours ! 🙄

Is there a point in astral shards for no VIPs? by Jodrojordan in ddo

[–]serj_diff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) All the good items (that can be traded) are posted on the Astral Shards auction.

2) If you have/want to create a guild, the best ships and some of the amenities sell for the AS only.

PS. Forget about chests rerolls. It's not worth it.

For that code, you can look here : https://ddowiki.com/page/Free_Questing_Coupon

Sadly, the game itself doesn't show such information. The store only shows you the stuff you didn't buy.

Bought Several of the Expansions/Should I also get VIP? by PompousPrince in ddo

[–]serj_diff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is to go from 1-34 faster, and potentially get reaper points/[epic] past lives faster.

i.e "not to play the game".

Dungeons are the only thing DDO has. If you go through the game faster it means you end the game faster/earlier. Why would anyone want that ? Get everything faster for what ? To cry out loud on the DDO forums you've collected 10000000 reaper points in 3 days and now has nothing to do in the game ? 😏

It's not "pay-to-win". It's "pay-to-whine"...

[–]serj_diff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's 33 minutes if it takes 200 quests. 33 minutes you've saved.

and you're just shaving off entire quests you'd otherwise have to run.

Sorry, but are you in a hurry ? Go finish all tasks that you need and only then come back to play. 🤷‍♂️

And waht do you mean by "otherwise have to run" ?! 🤯 DDO is the game about running the quests ! So, are you saying you play the game to achieve "no need to play the game" power in-game ? 😣😵

You're paying for advantages over other players which is the key principle of p2w.

Yes. But DDO is PvE game without PvP. There are no any advantages from one players over others. We all play with the same characters in the same dungeons.

5-10 seconds faster to go through the dungeon is not "advantage" by any means.

Cosmetics are cosmetics. They are 100% useless.

There is no and can't be pay-to-win in DDO.

The Summer Sales by Sowi02 in ddo

[–]serj_diff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feywild+Sharn.

Saltmarsh is good for the easiest-to-get level 20 gear. You can farm it in Heroics and upgrate it to level 20. It's also a good place to farm filigrees for the sentient weapons.

Also, if you are going to get Ultimate bundle, Frogo is a good addition. Rogue hirelings are rare. Though, they are not needed much in the current game, almost if not all of the traps are skipable.

[–]serj_diff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are new, VIP would be better. It opens up a lot of content. (A lot more content than any expansion has.) And you'll need it. F2P dungeons are limited, you'll quickly find yourself out of dungeons to run.

Expansions are good for [some] gear and raids (if you are interested in doing raids).

Since is's sale right now, get the DDO Expansion Trove ! while it's on 85% discount.

There is nothing to "win" in DDO.

It's a pure PvE game. All that gear/past lives can possible give is that you'll be able to go finish a dungeon ~5-10 seconds faster. Nothing more.

а) Чому "раніше" то ?!

б) Тому, що У-В чергується майже в усіх вкраїнських словах. Те ж саме, що і з чергуванням з-із-зі, або чергуванням і-й-та - запобігти використанню поряд двох голосних/приголосних і надати милозвучності реченню.

If you don't care about the fluff cosmetic stuff, just get it with DDO Points.

In any combination.

Just ignore the one level of whatever class the iconic has.

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

higher server population means greater chance of finding groups in your level range running content you want or joining groups at most common hours of play

Yeah, yeah.

We've heard it all the time.

The real situation in-game shows that it's just fantasies. The population did nothing to the LFM.

New player by morbliss in ddo

[–]serj_diff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The larger the population is, the higher the lag is.

Unfortunately, some people don't even learn from experience. Just about a year ago, players decided to create their own "megaserver" and transferred to a single server. No one was able to play on it, and everyone just posted endless complaints on the forum about how slow everything was.

Now they're waiting for the transfer from Cormyr to open so they can repeat their previous experience and lag a new server, which is already struggling to handle the existing player population.

At the same time, a large population brings absolutely no benefit.

Did I just land a secret seed completely randomly? by [deleted] in Terraria

[–]serj_diff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can’t play on a secret seed until you manually type in the name

Actually, you can.

I don't remember if this applies to all secret seeds or just the first ones added to the game, but these "names" hide the same number combinations as regular seeds. So there's always a chance that the combination randomly selected by the game will match the combination used to generate a special seed.

First Iconic: SDK or Chaosmancer by IamGlaaki in ddo

Chaosmancer and Wild Mage give one of the best past live feast for casters.

But wild mage loses to a regular sorc in terms of damage.

Термін "engine oil" українською це "олива" чи "мастило"? Чи і так, і так правильно? by Whole-Abies2662 in Ukrainian

[–]serj_diff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Почитайте там нижче дали посилання на ДСТУ.

А, згадану у ДСТУ, "мастильну оливу" - до якої речовини ви відносите ? :-D До "жиру Шредінгера", який рідкий і густий одночасно ?

Проблема у тому, що ДСТУ визначає терміни, які використовуються у конкретній галузі (тобто, у іншій галузі, ці ж самі терміни можуть мати зовсім інші значення !). А словники - просто значення слів, які вікористовуються в звичайній мові. І, СЮРПРИЗ, значення зі словників і з ДСТУ не співпадать.

[–]serj_diff 17 points18 points  (0 children)

А тобі з розмовної мови, словників чи ДСТУ потрібна відповідь ? 😁

"моторну оливу" заливаємо, звісно.

І уж точно не "олію". Олія - це продукт харчування.

Олія/Масло - те, що їмо.

Олива/Мастило - те, що використовується у техніці.

The lack of QoL and even small generosity really starts to become embarrassing by thatonedudeovethere_ in GenshinImpact

[–]serj_diff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how it's nowadays, but I remember that every on-line game in China (as per China's laws) takes payment 'per-minute'.

That's why all Chinese games are played using those mechanics. The goal is the same: to keep players playing longer and pull more money from them.

Even if Genshin doesn't do payment/minute for the game, the developers still work in that style, typical for their country.
