    Yeah, my first thought was to up my DP after my Orc tussle. I have 281 Awakened AP on my sheet with god knows how much hidden AP, which on paper is ok for the Orcs, albeit on the lower end. My dp is a bit lower than recommended at 334 but I still lack PEN boots. Saunils might be more in my gear...

    They do give out a LOT of Dream Horse materials these days from events, boxes, loyalty thankfully so the endeavor isnt as horrible as it used to be. It can still take a stupid amount of tries before it works and it's a big cron sink (but if youre serious about getting a Dream horse, you pretty...

    Well, ok. On a whim I bought 4 purified lightstones off the AH. Got a Blight, Strike, and two other random crappy stones. About 7 billion payoff from a 60mil gamble, provided I dont use the Strike. I should probably just use it, even though that 5bil would be nice. Guess my luck is used up for a...

    Both. PEN everything before you graduate off the season server. Actually I dont think early graduation is available yet, so you've got plenty of time to keep grinding stuff, you will have plenty of ore available to fight with those last two PENs before early graduation goes in.

    I ended up going with the same lightstone combo as Chimney (Trained Fists), looks like a good spot to stick with until the rng plays in my favor with a Strike stone (aka never). I forgot they added the private grinding areas, I usually only grind for an hour at a time so this might be a pretty...

    Highest failstack I've got banked right now is 147. I despise the enhance system so much in this game, I never do a PEN roulette and building stacks is always a bridge too far for me most of the time. I've only successfully enhanced one item to PEN (my gloves), rest have been bought or the...

    I also lack a lot of reading comprehension as my backup lightstone plan also included a Strike stone. Ill probably do the same, just look up some sort of passable monster AP combo and run with it for now. Any sort of damage increase will be better than none, even if it's not the best it could be...

    I came across something that suggested that same setup, just wasnt sure if there was better that had been discovered since. I saw another combo (Predation x2, Shadows, Strike) that gives 13 Monster AP, Back Damage +6%, and 3% crit damage that might be what I go with until I come across a Strike...

    Sad thing is season enhancing is soooo much easier than enhancing on regular servers. Finishing a season character puts you into a good position to just grind money and buy upgrades and skip the entire god awful process though. For those that have been playing more than I have lately, are the...

    Thankfully you only have to do it once, then you can hot potato it around to every alt/season character you decide to do from now on. Been doing a Drakania on season, it's a weird class. I kinda like it, but keep reading it was nerfed to shit just before launch for some reason. May give it...

    The IGN article on this says that Aspyr went to Sony and Lucasfilm to present a "vertical slice demo" of the game and the project was immediately put on hold and the two directors fired. It also says that even though Aspyr was still aiming for a 2022 release, "insiders" suggest 2025 was more...

    Yeah I have all the available journal AP/DP upgrades. At this point I think I need a truckload or three of caphras stones to really see much improvement. I only have one piece of armor with a few caphras levels (my PEN Dim Tree chest is caphras level 8 or so). I did manage to PEN my Kutum...

    I love the game, but hate it too. My Nova is 290/330 and getting those upgrades to get to 300ap just seem so far away. Doesnt help that I hate the mindless grinding, I can usually only manage an hour, maybe two, at a time. I try to just buy my upgrades because fuck that enhance system.

    Overwatch 2

    Yep, she feels horrible to play now. It can be kinda funny to enfeeble a genji blade and stuff but it's not a fair trade off considering how she's now just a boring heal-orb chucker. I've not enjoyed this beta phase too much.

    Id put money on the Mythic skins being the final reward for the premium track of the battle pass. With only one mythic skin per season, feels like it'd fit. The quick screenshot of the battle pass showed one of the original Tracer legendary skins as one of the rewards, they gotta put something...

    So my puttering along playstyle finally got me to 50 today. Ive still got a bunch of the crystal things from my founders pack but don't really have a good grasp on the upgrade mats just yet. When it comes to Mari's secret shop, if i have crystals to burn, what are the items worth buying?

    Unless I drastically misread the tooltip, stuff like the Founder costumes can be transferred to other characters a limited number of times (3 if I recall correctly).

    Chorus - Space Combat Sim - 2021

    There's a free demo available on Steam so you can find out before taking the plunge. I was very bad but had fun with it. Maybe not quite a full price purchase for me, but people who enjoy arcade style flight shooters (with a dash of super powers thrown in) should like it.
