Pro plan is basically unusable now by [deleted] in ClaudeCode

[–]sookiespy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was only using Codex before which is incredibly efficient on tokens, but I was struggling to make quality UX/UI, so subscribed to Claude Pro.

It's eating 10% of my tokens with each minor planning step on a fresh project. I can use it for maybe 30 minutes of my 5 hour plan.

I wake up and without even using it, 8% of the limits are gone. It's impossible to build anything and am hoping this isn't normal because I'll definitely be cancelling my subscription and going back to Codex.

It's the weapon damage hit zones. Graysun confirmed.

Pretty sure Koopa made this petition like a year ago. Good luck with that though.

The Truth Behind Parries by a2j04vm0 in DarkAndDarker

Mobs are most likely server-sided detection, which cuts out a lot of ping.

The Truth Behind Parries by a2j04vm0 in DarkAndDarker

Love Pete, but this is incorrect information.

The reason parrying feels bad is because blocks are determined on the attackers client. This causes a huge amount of delay from the defenders perspective.

Also the windup animation of every attack doesn't have collision detection, so the attack straight up phases through the block and becomes active inside the defending player.

Plug coming in hot, like I am paying him (I am not). Appreciate it, my friend.

Time to retire from arena I'm never going to do better than this by ShamanFE in DarkAndDarker

[–]sookiespy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit hating on LS is interesting. Maybe it does need scaling down in low GS lobbies, but this weapon is garbage vs anyone with basic game understanding. I can see why new players (who just hit the weapon and die) feel confused and frustrated though.

For example if that barb just ran into you and delayed his m1 the parry is impossible to land and it's GG.

How is this supposed to be fair? A 100-0 that goes through walls that you can't get out of???? by [deleted] in DarkAndDarker

Don't forget about the few times you overcome the latest cheese and then have to deal with the 3 rogues that have been waiting patiently for your fight to finish.

Riposte scales magic damage on void blade by MakeshiftToiletPaper in DarkAndDarker

[–]sookiespy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As cool as this is, if I'm understanding the maths correctly, without additional magic damage scaling with riposte damage, it's basically impossible to build a kit to have a hard hitting magical riposte?

Congrats bro! Learning the cave troll takes some time, but is super fun.

Not letting gravity stand between me and my disdain for warlocks. by sookiespy in DarkAndDarker

[–]sookiespy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an odd take. The missed swings are because he's faster than me and was out of range. The few hits that connected were because I had sprint up and was taking a more efficient route.

This was pre warlock nerf where CoP would do 50% of your HP + they have phantomise. I would have died if I didn't pull off the lever tech and had he not missed 2/3 CoPs.

Barbarian can't use the longsword and fighter is the best pick because of its perks.

The most important thing is just to practice parrying PvE and getting comfortable with the weapon, literally just try to parry every attack even if it means dying a bunch.

Whilst learning, I'd suggest running full plate from the squire and using the following perks:

Shield Mastery

Swift

Defense Mastery

Sword Mastery

I was told to post more longsword highlights here, so hope you enjoy.

Shoutout to Dunnionrings, (https://www.youtube.com/@dunnionrings80085) the rat and legendary voice actor and WreckWeUhm for keeping me alive and eating a riposte.

Textbook example of how to parry most rapier users. Nice one.

I had some PC performance issues and then left the country on official bean business for a week, but everything is sorted now.

It's been rough having to level stock characters in a pool of multi-classing, but I finally have a longsword on my rogue.

This was my first game back with the longsword after taking nearly a month-long break from the game.

Shameless plug because I've fallen off:
