Reeeee all this talk about starter builds and we don't even have patch notes or gem numbers yet, the fuck y'all doing

I was so put off by the penance brand delay that I never bothered to try clusters heh. Seemed better for general clear to just gem swap arma brand or something else.

Best I ever did with stormfire nonsense was using arc. Vaal arc with the bonus chain damage meant a big fatty ignite for map bosses, but even then it was only ever so good. Penance brand is really the only way to get reliable boss damage, so you may just have to gem swap for conquerors etc, but...

Patch looks insane. Time to make multiple completely failed inquisitor battlemage builds.

Play on EU servers, matchmaking is instant there basically any time during the day. Desync being what it is in tarkov the ping difference doesn't even really matter.

Any time spent on your player scav is wasted time, fite me. Getting 40/max traders is priority one, should always be on your PMC until that's done.

Judging by how that video thumbnail is not from game and appears to be bad porn fan art I'm gonna assume that's entirely fake.

No they are basically a cult that believes what lives beyond the blackwall is an improvement over what we have now and actively seek to invite whatever is out there in. They only seem advanced because they live in an "island" where their network is completely closed off from the outside world...

Finally finished it:

It's all just nitpicking anyway. Maxing any one of the major combat-related stats basically turns you in to a god eventually, be it remote hacking and melting everyones brains or running 20 second bullet time or regenerating infinite health - it's all just pure wank and everything is...

I regret touching the crafting system at all. I don't have enough stat points left to get it to 20 or whatever to be able to craft legendary items, so anything I can craft is basically trash at this point in the game. Seems way better to just ignore it entirely and use the points elsewhere...

Yea and I don't buy their numbers for a second. Depends entirely on where they test - there's areas of japan town/downtown that will send nearly any system down to 30fps for a bit.

Let's not kid ourselves here. Just because it functions doesn't mean it's "fine" - anything less than like a 1080 TI is gonna have extremely noticeable dips in to the 20-30fps area in many parts of the game.

Bone-itis guy from Futurama finds the Monkey's Paw from the Simpsons, the movie:

Holy shit this movie is so bad lol

What the fuck even is the plot of this movie? What is Mando even trying to do? He immediately gets his oil empire and then just continues taking wishes from people because....reasons? When it's very obviously killing him? Why does he do anything past his immediate wish from the business partner...

I went from a 1080 > 3090, and even that still isn't really worth it. 1500$ for a graphics card is just absurd, but the fuck else do I have to spend my money on while the world is closed. At least I get all the fancy Cyberpunk pixels?

So glad you get to:

No reason to expect it'll be any better than Betrayal was when it went core. They'll tweak the crew leveling a bit, touch almost nothing else, and it'll be aids for a league until it gets further adjusted. I fully expect the alternate gems to be just as much of a pain in the ass as clusters are...

Amos back in Boston had me rolling. The dude in the background from the Simpsons selling khlav kalash, complete with crab logo on his cart

I don't think it's a new atlas at all. It's gonna be a build your own league content type of thing where you can slot in abyss/breach/whatever and juice up the particular kind of old league content you want.

Can confirm, it was shitty Asus AI suite software. Purged it and reset windows settings and we're back in business. ~110fps with ultra everything and no rtx, 60-70 with rtx. I honestly can't tell a visual difference between non-rtx and rtx though, so I'll probably take the extra frames?

Interesting. I'll mess with a few things and see if it's this AI suite shit actually cucking me.

Yea something is limiting it someplace. Menus/in-game don't change the FPS at all, and I have a hard time believing it performs the same at full max settings vs minimal settings. I double checked the in-game options and FPS caps/vsync are all off, but it's like it isn't actually respecting that...

Anyone dealing with a weird FPS cap sort of issue? I'm running on a 5800x and 3090 and the FPS just seems to....never change? It runs at 60-65fps at RTX ultra 1440p, or the same 60-65fps at low and 1080p. It's like vsync is on someplace, but I can't figure out where? UI claims all that shit is...

Flashback league looks kinda boring? Normal heist league with a few free Zana mods? I might dick around for a bit and try some weird builds I've been meaning to try, but otherwise zzzzzzzzzz.

I thought as well too upon seeing them. Each one being themes to those ancient leagues does make it seem an awful lot like they are planning on revamping/rebuilding in to them something more robust.

The experimental base types are pretty cool? The reality is though they spent way too much design time on all the heist NPCs/dialogue etc for it to ever not go core, regardless of how questionable the actual gameplay of it turned out to be.

So Twitch ads are just the new reality at this point? I can't find any combination of browser extensions that prevents any of it anymore?

Weakest part of the pack thankfully is the top tier (aside from the portal). Rest are fuckin great though.

They mean you don't have to run the campaign on every new reroll

Hmm I've been using coldsnap with sling and then just attacking with power siphon. The power charges don't really matter, but it's got better attack coverage for curse on hit application which was nice. I guess if I use frenzy for the attack and just dump cold snap I could fit in herald of ice...

I thought dots don't benefit from spell leech for life/ES? And yea discipline lol. How much reservation reduction do you need to do the 3 slinger reservations+an aura like that? Or do you drop down to 2 sling setups for frost bolt/creeping frost and start manually casting cold snap?

So what do you scale for your primary damage on the slinger setups? 6L vortex? Then creeping and frostbolt are just for freezes etc? Is there any real recovery/sustain in these setups, or are you relying largely on flasks? I assume CI doesn't work cause you can't fit determination anywhere.

Pfff, explodes are just a crutch for poor DPS that makes you hate bosses cause you then realize your have no DPS. What exactly is the benefit of these spellslinger cold dot builds? The added flat damage from spellslinger doesn't even apply to the dot components does it? Is it just a delivery...

They mean explode of death mechanics, herald of ice, occultist explosions, etc.

Finally riped trying to do a Vaal boss heh. Knew it was a bad idea, but cerburus limb would have actually been a huge boon for me as I had no other form of leech and it was like 50% better spell damage than my shitter wand so figured I'd give it a shot. Winter orb remains pretty meh and there's...

This is as far as I've been able to take winter orb so far. Getting really dicey at depth 150ish currently. Mobs just stay alive for too long too be comfortable, and not sure where else I can find any more damage aside from a 6L or a crazy +gem wands dropping.

Yea I did it specifically cause SC meta is just going to be suicide rushing on zHP builds trying to get to lower and lower depths. Sounded boring as fuck. I'm sure I'll hit a wall sooner or later, probably at like 250ish or so? At a certain point I'll need to convert over to some kind of like...

I haven't yet, but it may be where I end up eventually. I'm at monster level 77ish right now and the DPS holding but only barely. By the time I get to 83 it's gonna be 6link or reroll I think. That's just a crit winter orb tree he's using with 0 defense aside from offscreening things which I'm...
