    Yea, those are numbers that BigAnd Shiny found, I think "cap" is the wrong word for this, rather diminishing returns would be best. You hit a threshold, then you will only get % of the AP past that point. So in all the various Elvia spots, if you go past the 100% AP range, you get hit with DR...

    It does. Search for BigAndShiny spreadsheets. Every grind spot has total AP cap based on everything you can use.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The really good cinematics are made by some other studio which does all the big reveal cinematics that we're used too (D4 reveal with Lilith, then Inarius reveal were made by the good studio). This one, and the Rogue reveal cinematic were made by someone else.

    Play on Hard, do only Story + Story reqs, wear only Green gear. Use only 1 Talent of your choice. Use no potions, or only what you can buy. Have fun! This is what I'll be doing while I wait for the patch to fix Biscuit.

    Can you hit 100% Field Guide completion without every section being 100%? I have that one quest which is bugged, so I'll never been able to hit 100% on my first playthrough. Also, does each House have its own ending? My ending was very different than any other I've seen (didn't notice which...

    I understand that, but its a huge flaw in the world JK wrote, it just seems she hand-waved away any consequences to avoid having to think about them well enough to have her world make sense within itself. Of course, I'm projecting MY pessimistic view of humanity upon the world JK wrote, so, my...

    Young people seem to be so emotionally insecure, like children. Gen X (my gen) done goofed hard.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    The biggest issue the HP universe has, from my ignorant pov, is the co-existence of technology. Given what magic can do, I cannot see how a hidden society of literal hundreds of thousands of ppl able to do magic not fundamentally changing how the "muggle" society works. Given human nature, ppl...

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I think ppl who focus on finishing the main story and it's requirements will end up sub lvl 30, and probably 40-ish completion. So unless they truly love the game, they will likely not get 100% completion of field guide. I finished the story at lvl36, and 73% field guide completion since I...

    The setting does a LOT to make this game enjoyable, and for me that includes the open world areas in addition to Hogwarts Castle itself. I loved the first two areas of Ghost of Tsushima, and I'm loving all the areas here in HL just as much.

    For those on PS5, what version is it showing? Under information, my version is showing 1.000.003, which I believe is outdated as of the 11th, which pushed 1.000.005. Playstation thinks the game is updated, but I think its not. Also, for those on PS5, when loading into a new area, do you see a...

    As I wander through the various Goblin dungeons, I can't help but wonder how cool it would be for these devs to make Mines of Moria and/or a LotR open world game in general.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    I would just play however you like. See a shiny somewhere? Go get it. Want to run around exploring and killing stuff? Go for it. I'm at 50hrs now, lvl35 and have only done 3 trials. The main story and the Sebastian quest series are too similar, and generic/cliche. If you want to bring up some...

    Yet, they did kinda win. We'll see more trannies in games now, games with lesser quality.

    Wild Hearts - EA Monster Hunter Clone

    Watching some demo streams this morning. Game looks good graphically, and the combat is way way faster than MHW / Rise, its like Nioh speed vs. big monsters. The streams were all PS5 in Performance mode, looked like a stable 60fps.

    Will be fun when I get AK, with talents that spread Curses... Just kill everything at once. I do wonder if Talents effect the skills you get in battle arena.

    There are a large number of repeated paintings throughout Hogwarts / Outside world. Best painting so far that I've seen was in a hallway, some young lady looking really happy to be rocking out on a mandolin, along with other musicians.

    All the Bandit Camps I've cleared show 1/1 Collection Chests, so yea, I got those. Its the more elaborate Dungeons where I'm seeing the 0/1, like Korro Ruin (?), Dale Family Tomb, Horklump Hollow, etc.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    So what is the deal with these Dungeons (not the small Treasure Vaults)? I've cleared several now, and after killing and looting everything, the world map shows "0/1 Collection Chests". Do they respawn after a certain amount of time? I assumed they were all once and done.

    You'll get a passive perk later on that will let you unlock Lvl 1, but require finding certain objects to upgrade it to open lvl2 / lvl3.

    Turned off capped in Balanced, then brought up the game optimizer overlay. Showed vrr on (no mention of gsync (but thats enabled:emoji_nose:, and 119fps. Started running around while the overlay was showing, and fps would fluctuate from a low of 52 up to a high of 74 (out in a open field).

    Missed the point, I think. I linked the vid just to show the vast difference in art / animation. The only thing about AoC that interests me at all, is being able to explore the gameworld they've made. Everything else just seems really drab.

    As if DF hasn't covered games that they weren't fans of before. They are just scared of cancel culture, probably why SkillUp hasn't dropped a review yet.

    Its because your Protego is "purple", so a dark wiz could be casting some counter to that, afaik.

    Hogwarts Legacy

    When fighting Trolls that toss rocks at you, Protego it, but don't counter. The rock will become usable via R1 for a nice chunk of dmg to the Troll. Merlin Trials challenge track seem to give 4 inventory slots per completion (at least the first one gave 4).

    Doubt there is much anger per se, at least on my part. I just found it odd that it seemed to be the only reason Natty was around. Other than that, I recall wordless casting being mentioned during the wand selection, either ingame or at the wizarding world site. Wands, the words and the movements...

    Using a basic bitch Denon AVR-S570BT. Works well enough, but I dislike how it handles PC audio, I much prefer the sound of my Schiit Stack for that. I would say you could probably skip the reciever and just set the HDMI audio on your C1 to pass through, then send your audio out via the optical...

    My C2 shows 120fps / vrr on, my receiver supports HDMI 2.1 as well, while on performance mode. Though the 120 fps is a lie, as it showed the same on fidelity and balanced (uncapped)... I think it's just showing the refresh rate.
