Drinkfist: Aug 2, 2005

We have a whole mess of slots opened up in the guild. Pm thease shitlords in game for an invite. Please be at or above 2050 Prestige. It also helps to check if the commanders that you are sending messages to are online by unchecking the offline mark in the social menu when searching their name.

Irate Drinkfist
Literal Fetish
Storm Gale
Josephine Smith
Gregor Eisenhorn
Lewtt Gingrich
Erich Zann
Mecha Shiva
Korben Dallas

You can also pop into mumble with the rest of us and ask for an invite for a more expedited and easier process. Mumble info is in the OP.

The following picture is of people we are monitoring that are below 3000 Prestige and have been in the guild for a while now. There is no way of tracking if thease people have quit the game other than tracking their Prestige numbers the old fashion way of screenshots. I will be checking thease numbers with this picture on Wednesdayish and if they haven't moved at all Ill assume they died and will throw them out of the guild to make room for the clawing unclean ones at my doorstep.

Is there a consensus yet on which of the 3 starters is the best jumping off point to get to the mid/higher tier guys?

I won a founder's pack from a tth contest a while back so I have gunner and zerker unlocked also I guess?

I'm literally incapable of making my own decisions and rely on other people that have done it before to assist me.

Do you want to spin and hit things? Pick Zerker.

Do you want a big loving laser gun? Pick Gunner

Do you want things to hit you and never die? Pick Paladin.

Do you want to make other people hit really hard? Pick Lightbinder.

Do you hate fun? Pick Cryomancer.

because russiagame cannot design UI for poo poo, when you start searching for a name the offline checkbox defaults back to on and cannot be unchecked

try it and you'll see.

fwiw i did naori island with my prestige "inflated" and had no problems as a cryomancer. i really only felt my damage lacking when i was around 10k prestige then the cap rolled and i got more proficiency and that problem went away

You're being an obtuse dipstick.

The "weird" thing you're doing is changing 2 lines in the CFG file and then adding the various CVARS to your CFG. I just wanted to see what CVARS you're using to see if I'm missing any good ones and to see what values you have some of them set to. So post that drat CFG already.

Its not a single config. I have 9 cfg files each with various settings and several changes to the main account GFX config.
On top of that I'm working on shadow atlas size to see if I can get it operating correctly and some other cvars I'm also toying with.

He goes up to some mobs and attacks them, then gets one-shot, and somehow thinks building less survivability and more damage will solve that problem?

1) According to the Reddit people who are overthinking this, Strength is only worth twice as much as might if you have capped Accuracy (100% including the Ultimate Strength symbol). The difference is negligible around Naori Island.
2) There are mobs who aren't designed to be one-shot who will still gently caress you up if you don't have a commensurate amount of stamina. Milene Caves is the open area after Naori Island and it ramps up the damage in the later half as well, except some of those mobs are 4-bar minibosses. I'm pretty sure it really is just a difficulty spike.
3) He could have one-shot those mobs at his current level anyway by using icy comet (3) + freezing gale (hold left click).

You can access the superhero network from any respawn point in open areas, so just go do some dungeons and gear up a little.

There's not much that directly scales to your prestige - maybe pvp (which is a mess anyway) and Nedder test area (which, half of the tasks don't even involve combat - the only one you might have trouble with is the 5-wave arena, so just avoid that one) so even if you are 'weaker', having a higher prestige just means you'll have access to harder content sooner. You can still down-rank your dungeons, and open areas aren't going anywhere.

Of course, it is good to equip whatever item will give you the best stats regardless of prestige - I am using a blue off-hand with 112% Whiteout damage that's a few prestige points below my highest-level one, for example, and I have been building accuracy so I prioritize Strength over Spirit - but I keep the highest-prestige ones on-hand so I can get into dungeons that are out of my league and still beat them (despite dying a lot) by using my skills correctly.

So looking at that linked gallery of the class mastery costumes... Do female characters just not get helmets/head items? On my Slayer for instance if I've got it set to show the class helmet, it doesn't show up... unless I mount in which case it does. Can only assume that's a bug.

Gifts are every 24 hours, not based on the daily reset. New adepts show up at midnight EDT (06:00 CEST), which is when the next day starts for any applicable rewards/caps.

There are all sorts of bugs associated with class headwear in this game. On my (male) Slayer, mounting actually removes his ninja mask. In any case, none of the mastery costumes come with new headwear. In those screenshots the only ones that are wearing class headwear are the (F) Alchemist and Witch.

It's not really a problem. Or I should say it's not a problem for people who don't sperg ridiculously hard and just go along on their merry way to finishing story/unlocking classes and filling out their favorite class's atlas.

This method doesn't overwrite shadow_quality_#.cfg and won't get overwritten by the patch.

Save this under .\Mygames\skyforge_mycom\Profiles\GFX\
Then open \personal\GFX-#####.cfg and set slider_shadow_quality to the value of the cfg you saved.
You need to do this to each options cvar which has a cfg file.

shadow_quality_5.cfg

code:

gfx_enable_high_quality_shadows = 1

gfx_foliage_shadow = 1
gfx_foliage_shadow_distance = 256

gfx_shadow_cascades = 5
gfx_shadows_resolution_modifier = 4

gfx_shadow_spot_focused = 1

gfx_shadow_deferred_blur_quality = 3
gfx_shadow_deferred_blur_max_depth_diff = 5

gfx_shadow_pcf_mult = 5
gfx_shadow_bias0 = 0.33
gfx_shadow_bias1 = 0.33
gfx_shadow_bias2 = 0.33
gfx_shadow_bias3 = 0.55
gfx_shadow_bias4 = 0.66
gfx_shadow_bias5 = 0.77
gfx_shadow_bias6 = 0.88
gfx_shadow_bias_foliage = 0.1

gfx_shadow_res = 8096
gfx_shadow_atlas_width = 8096
gfx_shadow_atlas_height = 8096

gfx_full_precision_depth = 1


gfx_fade_enable = 1
gfx_pixel_picker_enable = 1

gfx_raycastcomponent_trace_count = 900

Still testing alot of the settings found in this cfg.

foliage_detail_5.cfg

code:

gfx_foliage_distance = 256

texture_detail_3.cfg

code:

gfx_base_lod = 0
gfx_texture_mip = -1
gfx_gpu_texture_limit = 1536
