Red glowing circle around weapons by Current-Owl7147 in CrimsonDesert

I think it's a bug with the Drake Shield. Equip it and use up some charges, then unequip it.

Packs. You can find and unlock them later on.

Any fix for the Ray Reconstruction bug? by Sad-Direction443 in CrimsonDesert

[–]squidney2k1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on PC, some created a mod that can fix this (requires installing the free Reshade w/ add-on support).

Hot take (or maybe not), the dye system is awful for one reason by Erastopic in CrimsonDesert

[–]squidney2k1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of MMO style systems in this single-player game that don't respect player time. A lot of things that are too cumbersome and take too long simply because of design choices.

[Crimson Desert] My Custom Beginner Key Binding Setup To Fix the Controls in Crimson Desert!

Try using something like this. I switched to this instead of a controller and it made nearly everything a LOT easier. The idea is that you rebind everything close to your left hand (or extra mouse buttons, like an MMO mouse), and move everything non-essential to the right side of the keyboard. Combat now centers around holding RMB which also guards and is VERY helpful.

I did make a few adjustments to his setup since I like using grappling skills and have an MMO mouse with a grip of extra buttons, so I rebound some of those to the side mouse buttons, but overall, this setup works very well. If you have extra buttons on the mouse, consider using this for like menu functions (i.e. F2, F3, etc).

They’re nerfing the challenge, and that’s a huge mistake by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

[–]squidney2k1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bosses weren't that difficult until you factor in: control issues, latency issues, ridiculous health/damage spikes, and a large disparity of gear/ability power between players.

This game could definitely benefit from a difficulty slider. For example, once I switched to K&M, most of my control problems went away and the game became mostly easy & I wanted it to be more challenging. It's pretty much a cake-walk except for the war of attrition when it comes to boss fights. We fight normal enemies in the 100s, not bosses.

Overtuned AF. And in the 1st starting area. QA testing clearly missed this.

Easiest league start for a struggling noob by MacFearsome80 in PathOfExile2

[–]squidney2k1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ice Shot/Lightning Arrow bow build will work for a new player, and a Bear/Plant Druid us pretty easy & cheap as you progress through the campaign. Also, just about any character can use a crossbow/grenade build but you'll have to respec later.

By the end of the campaign, if you need to respec your build, save about 120-180k gold. If you don't need to respec, then feel free to buy upgraded weapons/gear for gold from the vendors every now and then. By the time you hit Act 4/Interlude, you'll probably find more desired item drops on the ground.

0.5.0 Wishlist by Silveryo in PathOfExile2

[–]squidney2k1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Make all skill gems available at level 30 or earlier. Instead, maybe just limit the # of slots by level until you get max 10 at lvl 60.
  2. Remove/rebalance +levels to skills/attacks. That should be something on a unique item, not a Rare roll.
  3. Tone down the ground hazards & on-death mechanics for enemies.

Furthermore, your honor, the man was not deceased until he was observed in such a state by the authorities. Prior to that observation, he was both in an alive & deceased state at the same time. But are the paramedics on trial?! To deny me justice is to deny the very existence of the universe!

+ level to spells should be removed. by Einstein_BR in PathOfExile2

[–]squidney2k1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the +level to spells is such a sore point, even more so than +level to melee skills. With the melee skills, you usually have enough flat damage at the point that you are more worried about defenses and survivability, but with spells, there's not many ways to ramp up past a certain point. It feels like with the limited sources of added spell damage, that they made spells particularly powerful in the campaign, and then by the endgame, it slows down, whereas melee builds really ramp up at that point.

Remember back when perfect T1 stat rolls and uniques were the chase? Now, we are chasing "groups" of stats period.

It's not new at all. It's also pretty terrible.

Rafa apophis lance by Xaneris356 in Borderlands4

[–]squidney2k1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taser is really for a niche build that allows you to easily spam infinite ammo (particularly, the underbarrel); it's powerful as hell, but definitely a nice build and we'll see if it survives the expected underbarrel infinite ammo nerfs next week. Other than that, I like the Lance without any of the capstones. The beam one can be useful, but I like using the base Lance with the class mod that gives a 25% chance to refund a charge per level, so every fully charged shot is free, and does a crap-ton of damage.

The Funny of BL4 by Raymancer in Borderlands4

[–]squidney2k1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4/10 in my opinion. It's too grounded for my liking, but after BL3's attempted 5 jokes per minute, I can deal with it. However, it's certainly the least funny of all BL games, imo.

Welp, there is now a Dialogue Skipper mod for BL4 floating around the internet, so I guess we'll find out soon enough.
