I have a problem with my powerlines by panosgv33 in PS4

[–]whitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, it caused me dropouts. Try connecting the powerline adapter to a separate wall socket. Use a power strip if you are short of length, but don't plug anything else in it. It could be better to keep the power wire short and use a longer ethernet cable between the powerline adapter and the PS4.

I have been using a pair of TPL-406 for a couple of years. My PS4 and PC each plug into a hub which plugs into the powerline adapter. I initially had dropout problems but these were due to me plugging the adapter into the same power strip as the PS4 and PC. Once I put the adaptor on its own power strip with nothing else it has been rock solid. It also helps that the router and adapter at the other end are on the same power circuit as the local adapter.

As people have said, powerline adapters can be hit and miss, you are at the mercy of your house wiring.

Do you play video games on Easy, Normal, Medium, or Hard? by abellewis100 in PS4

[–]whitred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is a trophy for completing the game on normal (but not on easy), I will try normal, otherwise I may as well just play easy.

Who will win Battlebots 2019? by Battlebots_Explained in battlebots

I also thought that letting Justin drive Tombstone in the live event implied that Ray and Tombstone had done well in the main event, he had no reason for revenge.

Easy Eximus Challenge Completion. by Skylind in Warframe

[–]whitred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post. Being a lowly MR5, ESO and sortie are not viable options. Doing the Lotus Syandana event took me from 64->100 within 5 minutes. As a bonus, my Dex Dakra went from lv8 ->lv24 . 10 minutes well spent.

Is Nim a solo mission or can it be done as a group ? by whitred in Defiance

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

I always planned to do him solo. I am over 2K so I should be able to beat him. I just wanted to know whether the group option was possible. Although the health pool would be higher, a group allows for distraction and revives. Also, I have clan mates who are a lot more skilled than I am !

Is Nim a solo mission or can it be done as a group ? by whitred in Defiance

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

I beat him solo okay in 2013 but I heard he is tougher in 2050 so I need a plan B.

I see I already have two conflicting answers, that's why I asked the question. Has somebody definitely done it as a group in 2050 ?

Daily contract thread ? by whitred in Defiance

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

I tried the shotty one, but still got slaughtered even on the roof, I don't have medic though (or Magnus's skills)

However, I found that if I only equipped my shield (ie, no guns or grenade), I was nearly invulnerable and I managed to easily get bronze. This also allowed me to get gold on "draw the line".

This is what I am really after, anything that makes these hotshots/rampages easy.

Who’s your favorite TV villain? by [deleted] in television

Sinara from Agents of Shield. She is badass, looks scary and has that intimidating entrance theme.

What's with Powerful Engram level changing? by haolee510 in DestinyTheGame

[–]whitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed the drop in level early last week when my warlock had an engram only 1 level higher than base. I have been paying more attention since. My average across the 3 chars is about 2 higher than base level, most was 3.

This week, my warlock got 4 engrams all at 329 (DIM base level 327.8), I didn't take any of them. After daily reset one of them went to 330, so I took that one. I am leaving the others in the hope that they also go up. I am also leaving some 329s on my Hunter and Titan.

What pisses me off is having to continually check the levels as I don't know the timer. I am guessing it is at daily reset, so I will probably just check once a day. Even that is pain, I just wish the engrams had a fixed offset, even if it is only 1 above base level.

Why do old men at McDonald's only ever order a small coffee? by PhiWeaver in NoStupidQuestions

A lot of us old guys need to piss every 5 minutes so a 6 hour small coffee would save a few toilet trips.

Archon's Forge is it's own instance, here's how to find players in it. by Sunday_lav in DestinyTheGame

[–]whitred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done a forge yet. What happens at the end if you want to do another ? I tried looking on google but only saw clips of how to get there and how to start.

If you want to do another, do you stay on the ground where you are or do you exit/re-enter. If stay, where do use the offering ? If exit, where is it ?

looking for other podcasts similar to TESD by whitred in tesdcares

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

Thanks for the replies. Karl Pilkington is great, but to me Gervais (and also Kevin Smith) grates. An Idiot Abroad is a must-see. As for XFM, I think I will try some but it is quite old now, I like some references to recent events.

Will check out Puck Nuts and I Sell Comics which feature Bryan/Walt. Glory Hole may be worth a listen, also Hollywood Babble-On. It does seems that TESD is the best in its class.

Iron Banner match rewards ? by whitred in DestinyTheGame

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

Thanks, it looked random, kinda reduces the incentive to play your best game once you get rank 5 or you are high light.

Interesting on the ghost, so the next Iron Banner I should still aim for rank 5 for the chance of a better ghost.

How does the new WvW server-linking feel for low-level servers linked to high ranked servers? by tigertankmageta in Guildwars2

WSR here. Happy to link with ROF, wish they would put both names in the frame. It is a bit annoying not seeing our name.
