Maximizing Helm Sectors in Skull and Bones: A Strategic Dilemma

Image
As I near completion of capturing manufactories in the first zone of the Helm Empire , I find myself pondering the value of unlocking additional sectors. Currently, most of my manufactories are at level 3, with a few reaching levels 4 and 5. The resource generation seems to align with the cap as I upgrade them, leading to a steady increase in production over time. However, I face a dilemma: should I invest in unlocking new sectors or focus on further upgrading my existing ones? The time it takes for manufactories to fill up is approximately two hours, regardless of their level. As I plan my collection route, which typically takes around 40-50 minutes, I also account for potential delays caused by rogue encounters or faction conflicts. After collecting resources, selling goods, and engaging in additional activities such as helm rogue hunts or legendary map searches, I find that my manufactories are once again ready to be emptied. With the prospect of easily affording to unlock another a...

Ravendawn Feedback: Addressing Issues for an Enhanced Gaming Experience

Image
In this detailed post, I aim to provide constructive feedback on various aspects of the game Ravendawn . It's important to note that my perspective is influenced by my experience playing as a mage, and different playstyles may yield different opinions. 1, Hunting - The current hunting experience often lacks rewarding elements, making it feel like a tedious grind with slow progress and minimal excitement. - Hunting mobs at your effective level seems counterproductive due to lower rewards, making it more appealing to tackle high-level mobs, despite the challenges. - High-level mobs present a better experience, but the damage scaling, utility skills, cooldowns, and aether mechanics create a unique set of challenges for mages, affecting the overall enjoyment of the game. 2, Questing - Questing experiences vary from extremely cool to downright boring, with rewards seldom feeling worthwhile. - Quests are lengthy, and the rewards often do not match the effort invested, making them feel l...

A Frustrating Evolution: My FC24 Journey and the Meta Game

Image
For nearly a quarter of a century, I've immersed myself in the world of EA FC24 , relishing the highs and lows of virtual soccer. However, the past four or five years have seen a perplexing shift in my performance. Once a consistent contender in Division 1 of Rivals, I now find myself languishing in Divisions 6 and 7, struggling even to secure a spot in the coveted Weekend League . The burning question lingers: Have I lost my touch, or has the gaming landscape evolved to a point where many seasoned players find themselves trapped in the lower echelons? This predicament has stripped away the joy I once derived from FIFA, prompting me to question the very essence of my gaming prowess. The frustration compels me to vent, to explore whether others share my sentiment. Initially, I believed my skills had diminished over time. Perhaps I had become "bad" at the game. However, upon reflection, I began to suspect that the issue might run deeper. I'm a casual player, dedicating ...

Dark and darker - The issues about War Maul and Cleric class

Image
We need to address the issues surrounding the War Maul and the Cleric class . While I'm currently maining the Fighter, I started my journey as a Cleric back in playtest 2 and continued until about a month ago. With my extensive experience as a Cleric, I feel compelled to highlight the problems with the War Maul and the Cleric class as a whole: 1, The War Maul : The War Maul stands out as one of the most unconventional and underperforming weapons in the game. Despite boasting high damage (especially with armor penetration), its slowness makes it almost unviable. In a fast-paced combat environment like Dark and Darker, a weapon with a -55 move speed penalty that lacks blocking capability is a significant handicap. Face-tanking enemy attacks isn't a practical option due to the lethality of skills. To make this weapon more usable, I suggest a simple adjustment: reduce its armor penetration and damage while providing a substantial increase in move speed reduction. This change would...
