  1. We all have to take a break from our day jobs some of the time...
  2. That would cost me more than 5 inf.
  3. Yes, because it's time consuming in a completely wasteful way and I say that only having 70 alts. Much less the hundreds that others boast.
  4. If you need 50 levels of normal grinding to figure out how to play a character... ANY character... in THIS game, there's absolutely zero help for you. This shit is NOT rocket surgery. Yes, I PL alts with a fire farmer on my 2nd account often. I was doing the full 1 to 50 and now I'll generally do it whenever I get bored with a specific level range. I only farm to PL my alts. All the rest of my inf comes from selling all worthwhile garbage on AH for 111 inf and the rest to the store in my base. I can fully kit out a new alt at any time at buy now prices on the AH living/playing this way. Edit typos.
  5. I've wasted tons of merits then. Any time I'm lacking AT IOs I buy them with merits. Probably tons of converters, too. <shrug> I'm still rich enough all the time to fully kit out my next alt at buy now market prices.
  6. This is ridiculous. SR can have as much green bar as a regen with respites as a regen can use lucks. Same goes for Elec. Unless you're constantly pulling insps from email, you're rapidly back to square one with no defense and shitty resistance, leaning on 3 or 4 long recharge clicks that can be debuffed into uselessness. And of course you're at full health right after a fight... except for all those times you're at zero health instead.
  7. There's still, and always will be, two arguments at play: 1: Regen numerically underperforms and should be buffed 2: Regen requires more work and is thus more satisfying to play Both of those statements are completely acceptable but they lead to a fight. Those that want regen to suck less numerically are and must be in direct opposition with those that want to leave regen challenging and active. It's a ridiculous situation to be in as a developer. If you make regen better, it becomes easier, thus ticking off crowd #2. If you leave it as is, crowd #1 stays annoyed.
  8. I went from demons/time to demons/thermal. Still sucked.
  9. What the pro-insp/pro-temp crowd misses is that what you're using to bring regen up to tolerable can also be used by everyone else. The performance difference stays the same. Regen stays dead last. Regen continues being the set where you get to spend vastly more time clicking insps/temps/Rune and its ilk while the rest of us spend those clicks killing things. I can use the regen mindset while playing a blaster, too. Doesn't mean regen is worth a shit.
  10. Planned obsolescence is very common in capitalism. Hell, it's why I still smoke.
  11. 🙂 I have NEVER gamed over a wireless connection. Sounds like heresy.
  12. Seconded. When my 750W died, I replaced it with a 1000W for an nvidia 1080 vid card and a board that dates back to 2013. WAAAY overkill, yes, but future proofs me for if I do bite the bullet and go full ram/mb/vid/proc replacement.
  13. About 75% of the desktop market. But linux is creeping up to 2.5%!
  14. Did he say why? Needing a better power supply, I get... but a board that can run a 1080 should be able to handle a 3080 just fine as far as I can tell. Oh wait... PCIe v3 vs v4. Should still work and be an upgrade but it won't be able to push the card as well as it should. Also, crap. My MB is also PCIe v3. Thanks for making me look. Guess it's whole new rig time. Edit: For me, I mean. And really... it's just new MB, proc, ram and 3080 that I'll need. Did more digging... : "As of right now, performance improvements to be had when using the RTX 3080 on a PCIe 4.0 interface are very small at best, and in many cases are simply non-existent." Soooo... woot!
  15. Just in case... new Heilung in a min or 2. Edit: Not disappointed. 🙂
  16. But that's just it for me... this game offers so much but often times looks blah to me. Granted, I am an eyecandy junkie and know it. But to see this world rebuilt fully in something like Unreal5 where fire can char skin and claws can cause intestines to fall out of stomachs? Describing my physical reaction to such a thing would break forum rules.
  17. There was an exploit a while back that allowed folks to get AE mission complete bonuses no matter where they were, what zone they were in, etc. We really don't need more problems like that. So... yea... no.
  18. Much as I love the animation style used for Arcane, I'm in the opposite boat. I'd like to see full tilt photo realism with appropriate gore levels.
