#

It's a good ship

#

For alot of things

#

But

#

Solo isn't one of them. In the future with blades yeah will likely be fine for PvE

#

Unfortunately like everything else, combat wise just don't want to get into it

#

PvE is 1 ship (you) vs 7

#

It's pathetic, why risk it

desert gorge
#

well im happy

#

E33 got GOty
And Total war Warhamemr 40k is coming o.o

#

ANYWAY how is the PTU going

humble anvil
desert gorge
#

Thats basicly the same stupidtiy

#

No?

#

57k will melt

humble anvil
#

But we can still shoot the Powerplant n kill entire ship

#

Well that's the thing so size 4 and size 5 laser weapons will melt the hull and kill the ship before they ever penetrate components

#

However size 7 like the Aries Inferno

#

Can kill the Perseus early

humble anvil
humble anvil
azure fulcrum
#

doesn't help that the powerplant is positioned so close to the exterior wall and that it only has 2100hp

desert gorge
#

PP hp is way to low for this

azure fulcrum
#

CIG dev reading this: šŸ’” "Aaah I need to nerf perseus HP even more"

desert gorge
#

Feel like overall component hp feels low

#

Ok an idris has 40ishk?

#

Is still not much but better than 2.1k from S3

lone bloom
#

As from shooting from behind

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
desert gorge
#

Ye still BS compared to 2.1k S3

humble anvil
lone bloom
humble anvil
#

I still think a distortion being Perseus would have been the coolest thing ever

#

The 10x gap?

#

Size three is all Multi cruise ships

lone bloom
#

S1 2K HP, S2 6K, S3 66 K XD

#

Thats like the armor gap between Sub cap and capital

#

10x multiplyer

humble anvil
#

I should have bought an Idris

#

No that ship is dog s***

#

I still love how they give a ship that can only operate with multi-crew

#

Barely any armor

#

It's just not really good value

desert gorge
#

I got both o-o

humble anvil
#

I just thought that if you broadside from the left side of the ship

desert gorge
#

Barely used my idris past 3 patches tho

humble anvil
#

All the power plants are on the right hand side

#

So you are very safe

#

@desert gorge I need to get you into the PTU into arena Commander

jade reef
#

Lmao they fixed (ish) the Percy?

#

Anticipated outcome

humble anvil
desert gorge
#

Dont have M

#

Only got T

#

Or u looking to just shooty at idris

azure fulcrum
#

Plz test

desert gorge
#

if i got time

humble anvil
#

But can't make a custom lobby I think, tried with xenn but it just bugs and doesn't work

desert gorge
#

ehg dont forget its a small indi company

#

am i wrong in this argument
Once hull or armour reaches 0 dmg goes to the PP once PP goes to 0 ship dies no ?

humble anvil
lone bloom
desert gorge
#

mate says that theres a 20% chance for it to happen

humble anvil
#

And you can 1 time repair all from diagnostic

desert gorge
#

and thats everytime a PP goes to 0

lone bloom
#

we don't know if it transfers the hull damage (if it reaches 0) to pp

humble anvil
#

More like every time if it's the Perseus

lone bloom
#

but its supposed to

humble anvil
#

And so far ships just fucking hard death when hull hits 0

lone bloom
#

But i have to say yesterday i tested the hull damage part with Ion

#

and it transfered from tip to back only with some ships

#

the Ion killed the perseus where only tip was red

desert gorge
#

So basicly once hull reaches 0
It will transfer to PP
Once PP goes to 0
Ship either Explodes or soft deaths

#

not 20% BS ?

lone bloom
#

so far ik its only soft death (supposedly)

#

and starting melt down timer where you "could" fix the pp

#

or at least evacuate

#

but on Perseus since they still didn't fix it, its instant death

humble anvil
#

It's instant death after critical hull is 0 on other ships too

#

Perseus is a fkn foster child because that powerplant doesn't go critical

#

It blows up if a ship shoots it

#

And blows up if critical hull goes 0

#

So I really just cannot fathom how TF it continues to be a thing

#

Why it affects some ships n not other

desert gorge
#

so its a 50/50 ship dies

#

dw they are starting to acctually fix shit so i wouldnt worry to much honestly

humble anvil
#

Apparently there used to be a time where shields always regenerated

#

So there were DPS gates fighters had to pass to be able to break shields

#

We got this issue where light fighters like a Gladius that should be attacking hornets, and maybe some bombers is on the ass of a Paladin, even a Perseus

#

Chipping away at it

reef wind
#

The shield regen dps gate should still be a thing for capitals and sub caps to offset fighters just rushing in

humble anvil
#

Hell even saw an arrow chipping the ass of the paladin off,

#

Took forever but they did it. They got no business being able to do that

humble anvil
#

Eventually

#

But whether or not they will gate for s3 shields is another thing

reef wind
#

One day cig will learn how to balance

humble anvil
#

I got no hope

reef wind
#

Shields in general should offset dps if the power plant has enough capacity and the incoming dps isn't high enough.

#

If my dumb ass goes after a hammerhead in an arrow, I shouldn't be able to really do much to it.

#

However if I go after it with a bit more oomph, say a redeemer or a gunship, it'll be more effective against that dps gate

#

I pray they make it so you need bombers and what not to do damage to capitals

#

Well, considerable damage, not just tickling

humble anvil
#

So you can pull components out, ship will never die

#

Put components back in, fly away

#

So if you're getting your shit kicked in, pull the powerplant. Force boarding

steel thistle
#

what for

lone bloom
#

or just goes boom

#

also just gonna trying to set up VR for SC now lets see if it works for me or not lol

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

@lone bloom We can try to make a custom lobby again

#

Maybe the reason why the Perseus insta dies is because it's a ship claim

#

Oh no that doesn't make any sense because it explodes with areas Inferno

#

Well maybe it will be a little different while sitting in the pilot seat

#

We can also see it I think through diagnostics and maybe doing vandal swarm or something

#

But the last time I think the hole died before it got penetrated

lone bloom
#

well i am already ingame

humble anvil
#

I just got off work

humble anvil
#

@lone bloom you still in ptu?

lone bloom
humble anvil
lone bloom
#

have to send me Friend request again tho

humble anvil
#

ye i had to load into ptu

#

i mean the ptu pu

#

@lone bloomsent ya friend request

#

sec

#

@lone bloom accept lobby invite if you see it

#

joining u

#

@lone bloom i will record the diagnostic screen?

lone bloom
#

what ship should I use then to shoot it?

#

S8?

humble anvil
#

shoot nose yah and damage will go to body

#

i should see the state of powerplant

#

@lone bloom Just hard kill this ship

lone bloom
#

pp or hull hp

humble anvil
#

hull

humble anvil
lone bloom
#

me neither lol

humble anvil
#

funny test

#

im going to be like idk. 1.2km away just shooting

#

track and kill me

#

gravity

#

lol

lone bloom
#

barely bullets hit lmao

humble anvil
#

gravity

#

but also

#

it just cant hit broadside of a fucking ship

lone bloom
#

the aim dot was always green

humble anvil
#

gravity drop

#

it doesnt account for it

#

ight im in a catepillar

#

something perseus is meant to kil

#

shoot as i fly by

#

obviously gravity is against you

lone bloom
#

pp ? xd

humble anvil
#

powerplant got penned

lone bloom
#

shoot only like twice

humble anvil
lone bloom
#

Caterpillar literally went "touch grass"

#

xD

humble anvil
#

there's alot of play there for players

#

SURE i got penned and the ship is fucked

#

but able to still salvage it, get up and try to get out lol

#

they gotta get rid of the hard death for player ships and honestly could be very fun

#

tilt downwards

#

towards ground

#

thought there was engineering stuff in here

#

i wanted to take powerplants out

#

all damage to armor with s3

#

some to hull

lone bloom
#

shield off lol

humble anvil
#

LOL

lone bloom
#

did that kill you? xd

humble anvil
#

yes

#

welp

#

I want to try not being in the pilot seat

lone bloom
#

well but I have to go now lol

humble anvil
#

if the powerplant kill will instantly destroy ship

#

awh rip

lone bloom
#

can test it with self aware lol

humble anvil
#

just a weird interaction

#

why being in the pilot seat doesn't instantly explode the ship

#

but not being in the pilot seat does instantly explode the ship

midnight crypt
humble anvil
#

for testing purposes

#

Penetration damage will now scale radially. This means at point of hull penetration, remaining damage in the cone will scale linearly downwards the further into the ship the munition goes and the further radially out from the center of munition path

#

Made further updates to shield energy weapon resistances so shields will take slightly more damage from energy weapons. Resistances updates for all ship components to increase lifetime of components.

azure fulcrum
#

plz I wanna watch percis shoot idrussy

humble anvil
#

turns out

#

i shoot the wrong thing all this time on polaris

midnight crypt
humble anvil
#

have to add u from there

midnight crypt
#

updating PTU right now

humble anvil
midnight crypt
#

they fix the armour to be different now between the P and M?

humble anvil
#

idk yet

#

spviewer no update

midnight crypt
#

also i dont remember what its called but how do i turn off the QR code in the test server? thought it was in the settings but im probably blind

humble anvil
#

graphic setting at bottom

#

what's your handle btw

midnight crypt
#

that might be why i cant find it

#

Shiamatoki

#

got 2 GB left to download

#

the closer the update gets to being done, the slower it downloads.....

#

oh PTU turned on my steamVR and crashed

humble anvil
#

uh

#

well

#

this is awkward

midnight crypt
#

wont let me launch <o<

humble anvil
#

They know i want an Idris to test on

#

smh

midnight crypt
#

they really need a toggle for VR in the launcher

humble anvil
#

yeah idk what you can do lol..

midnight crypt
#

finally in menu'

humble anvil
#

oh praise be

#

come arena commander

midnight crypt
#

got you added

humble anvil
#

@midnight crypt come to arena commander, and should get a lobby invite

midnight crypt
#

i dont see one

#

im in arena commander

humble anvil
#

can you try inviting me

#

to a custom lobby

#

for free fly

#

man idk how ravit made a game

#

@lone bloom how did u do it lol

humble anvil
#

its so buggy

#

it did it once for me lol

humble anvil
#

oh my god it worked

humble anvil
#

@midnight crypt my shit froze up lmaooo

#

reloading

azure fulcrum
#

oh no >.<

azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

@midnight crypt

midnight crypt
#

railgun is better

midnight crypt
#

why is the M9A so powerful

amber crest
#

Because idris, that's why. Logic not needed i guess.

#

Why did they fk up shield resistances so bad?

#

7CA (civilian), max 10% energy resistance.
FR-86 (military), max negative 3% resistance.

#

its like this on all shields sizes and classes. Civilian OP now at this moment. (except some of same size and grade and class are different signs)

amber crest
#

right lol

humble anvil
#

Like how VR support

#

Distracting everyone from the chaos of engineey

#

YOU CAN'T HIDE THIS FROM ME CIG

midnight crypt
#

Been better if they had support for VR controllers. Be rubbing the double glizzy

severe lynx
#

so double 7CA seems to be the best one now

#

funny enough due to resistances, having double 7CA will give you 5.3% resist which translates to roughly 132000hp against energy weapons
the same raw hp you get with double military shields

#

125k/0.947 (5.3% resist) = 131995.78 hp vs energy
132k/1.153 (-15.3% resist) = 114483.95 hp vs energy

#

though i dont know how this translates in game due to the resistance range

amber crest
#

just got to decide if losing 20k shield is worth not dealing with engineering.... oh wait shields dont take damage anymore, just pp.

#

oh thats just for hull hp damage nvm

severe lynx
#

no idea why industrials got nuked though

#

this is with 2 parapets

#

lowest shield strength and lowest energy resistance

amber crest
#

in my opinion, industrials should just be ultra reliable

severe lynx
#

whats weird is that lower industrial grades have better energy resistance

#

this is with 2 strongholds (industrial C)

amber crest
#

~~is that with the update from 30 mins ago?~~im just behind

#

not on sc viewer yet

severe lynx
#

not sure

#

but this patch contains the component updates and armor changes for the TAC and another ship

#

will most likely change again but these changes got my interest so I looked into them

amber crest
#

why do lasers have a penetration cone

azure fulcrum
#

asking "why is" anything in this game just is a downward spiraling path leading to insanity

lone bloom
#

The last part doesn't surprise me - but that doesn't work for most ships apparantly that just die due to hull rp reaching 0

minor field
#

Vidja game

humble anvil
#

tecnologia

lone bloom
#

More shields = worse than having less, best logic you ever heard

azure fulcrum
#

perseus sounded so good on paper, finally a reason to multicrew, especially with engineering and armor I expected perseus to be the best

#

somehow they managed to fuck that up

lone bloom
#

it still is - among the glass ships

#

I also don't expect any major changes anymore now since it goes live next week likely....

azure fulcrum
#

ehh not worth it just get an ares you're more maneuverable and a smaller target anyways

lone bloom
#

I hope they will work on it after the holidays again and that 4.5.1 changes alot of the armor values again

azure fulcrum
#

better to snipe & kite with ares ion lets be real

lone bloom
#

until they fix armor probably

#

Perseus still pretty good at taking on larger targets tho

#

even while its glass itsself, due to the guns it downs larger other ships extremely fast

humble anvil
#

Bunker ship for me

#

My AFK closest thing to ai bladed Turrets

#

With decent defense ship by itself to provide a relatively safe game experience

#

With the option to bring friends

#

Ability to use the fastest quantum in the game. Premium ship. Connie rework will be great however

#

Game just needs to wipe and give rep rewards, crafting, and rarity

#

Maybe in 5 years

#

It does fairly well against s4-s5 lasers too. Ofc it can't sit there and face tank the whole world but, it does well

tawny fern
#

waiting patiently for ai blades

humble anvil
#

Remote Turrets guaranteed Blades

tawny fern
#

ai blades come, "everyone liked that"

humble anvil
#

Should be soon though right? They just have to hook up computer to engineering and wallah

#

New bar to toggle

tawny fern
#

who knows

humble anvil
#

Breaks the whole ship, not enough power

tawny fern
#

i just know theres potential to cash in on money with that

#

ships with turrets are gonna be a lot more popular

#

more potential to sell big ships to solo players

humble anvil
#

Don't understand why they haven't pushed it yet

tawny fern
#

cig dumb

humble anvil
#

They promised ai crew, n blades

#

But yet 5 years later

#

Nothing

#

Big ships mostly useless because everyone wants to fly their own ship or can't be bothered to get real players

tawny fern
humble anvil
#

Personally I want ai crew so bad

tawny fern
#

me, wanting to do a few quick intersec missions

#

like im gonna go beg in chat for turret gunners and spend 30 minutes getting everything setup

humble anvil
#

Without having to gather up an Armada that the AI get for Free

tawny fern
#

no

#

yep

humble anvil
#

I don't understand it

tawny fern
#

and then when im done, alright gunners goodbye im closing my game

humble anvil
#

Ye

#

It's an inconvenience to bring others

tawny fern
#

im 100% convinced people that are against blades and ai crew have never played the game before

lone bloom
#

But so far ik they work on ai blades since the flight blades were released

lone bloom
severe lynx
# tawny fern

i consider the old one pretty moot at this point due to them doing a more recent version

top one is the old one

humble anvil
humble anvil
#

@lone bloom are you available?

#

@midnight crypt are you available?

humble anvil
#

great

#

So geuss what is back lol

#

This in the the PTU PU as well..

tawny fern
#

Unfucking believable

tawny fern
#

????

#

What are they doing lmao

humble anvil
#

in fact

tawny fern
#

Truly one of the most pepega devs ive ever seen

humble anvil
#

the PU Perseus takes 2 whole volleys and dies

#

the AC Perseus takes fucking

#

4 whole volleys

#

or some bullshit

tawny fern
humble anvil
lone bloom
#

Literally

#

How

#

Guess we have to test such things in the future in universe and not ac since apparantly it makes a difference hahhhhh

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

@lone bloom@azure fulcrum and with a new perseus the damage migrated correctly.

#

also corsair in PU has 49 shots

#

while AC has 25

#

PTU (PU) Perseus si so squishy

#

they have the same ttk lol, while waiting for 1 to fully recharge

#

the other keeping the shield down

tawny fern
midnight crypt
humble anvil
#

so apparently

#

in the pu itself, the ship is supposed to soft death

#

and its vastly different

midnight crypt
#

oof

humble anvil
#

vastly different from arena commander

#

i mean its supposed to kill all components, not hard death

#

or kill powerplant and not hard death

#

would you like to load up real quick?

midnight crypt
#

sure

humble anvil
midnight crypt
#

alright, ill set my spawn there

humble anvil
#

do you have perseus?

midnight crypt
#

yeah

humble anvil
#

The combat meta in Star Citizen Alpha 4.5 has completely shifted, and the latest PTU patch notes reveal some shocking changes to weapon penetration mechanics that CIG didn't fully explain. To help you understand exactly what's happening to your favorite loadouts, I've built a custom, interactive Weapon Penetration Analyzer!

humble anvil
#

otherwise your regen rate will be REALLY BAD

heady escarp
#

kekw wth is this logic

lone bloom
#

the others are just reserve and drag your regeneration rate

heady escarp
#

oh well this should be fun

lone bloom
#

So two shields is superior over having 3 or more

heady escarp
lone bloom
#

Always did, yes

midnight crypt
#

@humble anvil your server is not accepting new players

humble anvil
#

i joined u

#

get a server i will join u

midnight crypt
#

alright

lone bloom
midnight crypt
#

had to refresh the game

lone bloom
#

But thats been the case since ever

humble anvil
#

@midnight cryptwow

#

so

#

interesting indeed

#

@lone bloomyou're going to like this

midnight crypt
#

yeah i think the 2nd powerplant is just slowly burning

#

i could just jump out and repair everything and put the fire out

humble anvil
#

im going to kill your 2nd powerplant

midnight crypt
#

im out of the pilot seat

humble anvil
#

ship will likely head death

humble anvil
#

head back up

#

it seems.

#

hard death is gone

midnight crypt
#

back in pilot seat

#

dead in the water now

humble anvil
#

hard death gone

#

you could repair and fly away

lone bloom
#

there wasnt a ptu update since then

midnight crypt
#

2 minute repair

lone bloom
#

and the dmg doesn't transfer to PP?

humble anvil
#

the perseus 1 powerplant dies but the other keeps going

#

the damage transfer is very small

#

and when i killed his second powerplant

#

(mind you he could still fly with the one)

#

he didnt hard death

#

ship took no damage when hull was zero'd

#

but could still very much operate

#

lmao

lone bloom
#

and PP?

#

without shooting at PP

humble anvil
#

i didnt shoot at powerplant directly, just shooting center mass and a full volley of corsair was like 1% damage transfer to powerplant lol

lone bloom
#

lmao

lone bloom
midnight crypt
#

but its weird how the first powerplant fell fast but 2nd one took forver til you started shooting at it

humble anvil
lone bloom
#

probably because the Hull dmg only transfered to one PP

humble anvil
#

and he's flying tf away

lone bloom
#

but when one PP is still online

#

Meaning that the guns should still be operational since ballistic?

lone bloom
#

The armor we were promised years ago

humble anvil
#

@midnight crypt get into s8

#

shoot me

#

s3 has no pen value and nothing is at the front of the ship to matter

midnight crypt
#

about to lose my power plant from fire

humble anvil
#

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

midnight crypt
#

let me put it out

humble anvil
#

ruh roh

#

lmao need to start traveling with rmc container too

#

yeah this is crazy

#

i wonder if i shoot u if not in pilot seat

#

if you will die now

#

nope

#

you're invuln to more damage,

#

god damn Perseus is such a beast and we mis understood it lol

midnight crypt
#

bruh, i open the door for the engineering room and i cant see shit XD

humble anvil
#

should turn life support off

#

#1

#

i always turn that off

#

so no fires can happen

midnight crypt
#

im in bottom turrret

humble anvil
#

can you shoot it?

midnight crypt
#

oh i cant shoot

#

no power

humble anvil
#

yeah we're cooked

#

but still!!!!

#

this is good!!!

midnight crypt
#

can try the idris m railgun against perseus

#

i cant open docking collars to vent out this smoke

lone bloom
#

armor value still shit

midnight crypt
#

gonna test it now against the idris railgun

humble anvil
#

Perseus in a medium hangar aint bad

lone bloom
#

and yet it forces to dock

humble anvil
#

they did nerf the beam to 2800 meters

#

HAAAAHAAAAA

#

kekw

#

we're about to test idris railgun vs perseus

midnight crypt
#

i got locked up as well

humble anvil
#

i had to alt f4

midnight crypt
#

same

humble anvil
#

im back in then

midnight crypt
#

well you still get 1 shotted XD

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

i wonder is it a damage threshhold

lone bloom
#

(ignoring the bullet drop)

humble anvil
#

thge reason perseus can not go critical and instantly die because the chip damage? maybe

humble anvil
#

but i think it was bug

#

hull damage took the 1 powerplant with it

#

i think because its so much that it instantly deleted the powerplant and went boom instead of going critical

midnight crypt
#

Well the railgun should of went through your entire ship. I could try shooting only your nose top down

humble anvil
#

ooo thats a good idea

#

tbh the armor, at 100% taking the hit

#

should of nullified the penetration significantly

midnight crypt
#

Yeah

humble anvil
#

gated the round but still, its a fkn s10 railgun xdd

#

288,000 alpha

#

with all the modifiers yah think it would be able to take atleast one

#

because shield reduction, plus armor, plus physical reductions

#

perseus is almost back

midnight crypt
#

Alright

humble anvil
#

3 min

midnight crypt
#

I wonder why on urkel the range still says 10km for railgun and 5km for laser

humble anvil
#

the ammo for laser is 2800

#

if you got it, can put it on

#

ahhh but have to go to orison for that. pain

#

forget it

midnight crypt
#

Even on spviewer still shows the normal range. Maybe they didn’t nerf the range

#

I don’t have laser. Got rid of it when I gotten the m

humble anvil
#

10 seconds

lone bloom
#

since 380K HP

humble anvil
#

wellll

#

nose n body is 180k yah know..

#

30k per engine.

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

@midnight crypt kekw

#

no counter play

#

just die

midnight crypt
#

Still one shots on nose

humble anvil
#

I think its bug with amount of damage

#

is all

midnight crypt
#

I wonder if blowing an engine off also one shots you

humble anvil
#

it shouldnt lol

#

but i closed out

#

im going for lunch

midnight crypt
#

Alright

humble anvil
#

the amount of idris in the game isnt worth being worried about

#

but its still a bit cringe that... the ship can do what it can do with 1 person

#

imagine if perseus got the main turret slaved to the pilot

#

people would be bitching

midnight crypt
#

Well the amount of idris m isn’t the problem. Everyone and their mother is gonna have an idris p from wikelo and then dupe the railgun

midnight crypt
#

I see a bunch of people selling the railgun on EUX from 5mil all the way up to 100mil

lone bloom
#

The amount of people that will increase / get Pilot weapons because of that will be crazy lol

lone bloom
#

at least for the railgun

#

just make it hard stuck/attached to the Idris

midnight crypt
#

But then you can’t changed the kits

lone bloom
#

cant dupe that way

midnight crypt
#

but i was also told that the laser, torps, and railgun is eventually gonna be able to be bought. which might not be next patch but could be the patch after that one since people will start getting wikelo idris

Still they could stop the duping of the spinal mount instantly

#

Also the opinion Idris P shouldn't be able to equip the Railgun at all

midnight crypt
#

wouldnt matter after they make them purchasable since the ones you buy from in-game would stay on your account til a wipe

midnight crypt
lone bloom
#

Best it should get is the Laser or Torpedo module

#

while M can equip all of them

#

including railgun

midnight crypt
#

like a fully crew idris p and m, the p is better since its got a turret in the back for protection while M is very vulnerable from the back

#

with 4.5 its nice that there is now a difference with armor but i feel like the idris m should have way more armor than the p

lone bloom
#

looks at HH and Perseus armor difference - aka none

midnight crypt
#

XD

#

also they need to make more S7 guns, the benefit of the idris m front turret is the guns can be changed. but there is nothing to swap out the M9A unless i buy the T kit for replacing the entire turret to get S7 conqueror.

@tawny fern How's the OLED?

humble anvil
lone bloom
humble anvil
#

ah my main monitor is a TN panel

lone bloom
#

Thought the burn ins are already the bad part

#

guess time to wait even longer to get an OLED

humble anvil
#

unstable frame rates cause white flickering in dark environments

#

its really bad on OLED

humble anvil
#

but i think its not a problem if you dont use vsync

#

will just get screen tears

lone bloom
#

then you have enough money lmao XD

humble anvil
#

downgrade to 32gb kekw

azure fulcrum
#

can't afford ddr5 but we get this instead, worth it

#

hopefully we'll get AI blades too

#

one of the best purchases ive ever made

#

did urs arrive?

#

idk if i said it already but getting an oled was like going from 60 to 144

#

back in, 2012 or whatever

azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

the colors are a lot crispier

#

everything is so beautiful

#

i still have a tn on my second monitor, everything just looks so washed out

azure fulcrum
#

ur tn monitor probably cheap?

tawny fern
#

but star citizen on the oled is like an even clearer picture, blacks become SUPER black

#

this tn is from like

#

2016 maybe lmao

minor field
tawny fern
#

i heard modern ips's are really good now

minor field
#

I'm melting everything for a kraken @ ILW and not playing until it releases

azure fulcrum
#

I got duh 49 inch suw QDLed and I don't want anything smaller

tawny fern
#

every game ive played on the oled looks unreal

azure fulcrum
minor field
#

Yeahh it just doesn't feel ready enough for me to risk burnout lol

azure fulcrum
#

deadzone rogue pretty fun

#

looking into more roguelite first person shooter

#

its fun playing a finished working game for a change

humble anvil
#

i see videos and they're PITCH BLACK screens

tawny fern
#

yeah

humble anvil
#

but then i see comments like ;mehhhhh, if you got the money sureee

tawny fern
#

thats accurate

humble anvil
#

then me: Sureeee i could spend the money, and i just put in the order again after backing out of it 5 times lol

#

(its in)

tawny fern
#

its 5000% worth

humble anvil
#

but then the responsible side of me is like; but why, its just color

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

so im going to try, and i'll return it if it doesnt blow my dick off

tawny fern
#

u wont return it

azure fulcrum
#

theres a reason I don't try 4k oled because chances are It'll spoil me and I'll have to waste 5000$ on a graphic card and monitor

#

could just wait 5-10 years until microled comes along

#

egh but the point with OLED is planned obsolesence they WANT you to buy a new monitor after warranty expires'

#

so dunno if we'll get microled

humble anvil
#

"black" LCD left, OLED right

tawny fern
#

i love my oled

#

my oled loves me

lone bloom
tawny fern
#

its like cig trying to create black paints

humble anvil
#

looks like absolute shit idk what that 'black' is

lone bloom
#

I mean who even has LCD and not LED?

tawny fern
#

i thought lcd's were just on tv's

azure fulcrum
#

but mine is already blacker than 90% of led monitors on the market lol

#

12 dimming zones

tawny fern
#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

#

the ips i replaced with this oled was also from like 2016

#

the blacks were nooooot good at all

#

and the color quality was bad

azure fulcrum
#

3:000:1 to 1.500.000:1 should be a big difference

tawny fern
#

i only heard about the burn in problems, and thats what dissuaded me from buying one before

lone bloom
#

apparantly it has more than that

tawny fern
#

but i guess with newer gen ones its not as much of an issue

azure fulcrum
#

oh lmao its a scam

#

1.500.000:1 is "dynamic contrast ratio"

#

not the actual real contrast ratio

azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

im recommending an oled to everyone

azure fulcrum
humble anvil
#

1500000:1

azure fulcrum
#

"infinite black"

azure fulcrum
azure fulcrum
# azure fulcrum

looks waaaay worse on the picture but my black is not true black for sure it has a blue tint

tawny fern
azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

no haze or anything

#

crystal clear every angle

azure fulcrum
#

well fuck me

#

that cant be right why is it so cheap

crystal sleet
humble anvil
#

lol amazon has to be pissed with me

crystal sleet
#

bro make up your mind kekw

humble anvil
#

because im a fucking goober

#

im trying to get the best deal but at the same time bipolar cause do i really need it right

#

but i found a good deal i feel

lone bloom
humble anvil
#

dude

#

absolutely

#

@tawny fern got any insight to this one? MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED X28

crystal sleet
humble anvil

Why would you want to bend it, just buy a curved and done lol

tawny fern
#

jeuss christ

azure fulcrum
lone bloom
#

Even worse

azure fulcrum
#

someone with a bendable phone screen told me

#

like the flip phone

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

I'm gonna wait another few years for OLED in the hope it gets better brightness and longer durability

lone bloom
#

oh lol I even know that Monitor, been at a tech com where they showed the prototyp of that

#

Already been there the opinion "okay cool, but why tho"

crystal sleet
#

makes sense to me, its a pc pretending to be a console, but with pc stuff

lone bloom
#

Consoles also have PC stuff

#

Just adjusted for console

crystal sleet
#

but consoles are like, throttled or sumn. No upgradeable graphics or anything

#

right?

lone bloom
#

well no

#

if you want upgrade buy whole new console

crystal sleet
#

also teh cpu

#

the steambox is just another prebuilt, fuck sake

lone bloom
#

PC becomes longterm kinda cheaper than a console

#

if you repeatedly have to buy "the new one" to get the newest games etc

#

(including the monthly subscription to play online)

#
  • that every game costs 10 bucks more lol
crystal sleet
#

the steambox is just gonna be a glorified prebuilt, isnt it

lone bloom
#

yep

#

lol

crystal sleet
#

an mATX prebuilt, breh

lone bloom
#

i mean a console is also technically just a prebuild

azure fulcrum
crystal sleet
lone bloom
#

Something like the big picture mode from steam

lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

people have already installed steam OS on custom builts

crystal sleet
azure fulcrum
#

I wonder when if ever I will buy a VR headset

lone bloom
#

Pats my VR Headset

#

Not worth it tho if you only want it for SC

azure fulcrum
#

maybe if you were into VR hentai or something

#

I don't see any other reason to get it lol

tawny fern
#

vr warthunder sounded interesting years ago

#

but gaijin never improves their stupid game

lone bloom
tawny fern
#

like sim grinding or something

lone bloom
#

I mean they improved alot the last years the free to play grind / or general grind

crystal sleet
#

elite dangerous is another vr game you could play along side star citizen if you wanted head-empty fun game time

lone bloom
#

with the potential double XP you get if you can get more than 10 kills

tawny fern
#

i want bigger air rb modes

#

more ai

#

more objectives

tawny fern
#

instead of unga bunga match done in 5 minutes

lone bloom
#

But SC the "feeling" is way better in VR already

#

but thats probably just because of the graphic, the HUD is a full mess rn

#

and also long distances

crystal sleet
crystal sleet
#

was engineering a railgun and plasma accelerator Feddy Corvette the last time i played

lone bloom
crystal sleet
azure fulcrum
#

steam frame looks nice

lone bloom
#

so when warthunder like matches in SC?

#

lmao

crystal sleet
#

Theaters of War? Lol

lone bloom
#

never played that

azure fulcrum
#

nvm its a scam

crystal sleet
#

dont think it made it to live arena commander, or if anyone even played it

azure fulcrum
#

not even a knuckle strap

#

it's just a more expensive meta quest 3

lone bloom
#

just wait for valve index 2

crystal sleet
azure fulcrum
#

its nice that the frame has a built in battery and snapdragon

lone bloom
#

unless the frame is supposed to be the index 2

#

still LC display kekw

azure fulcrum
#

yeah...

#

its bad but hey its standalone and wireless so thats nice

lone bloom
#

just means it will significantly be more expensive

#

since more hardware

#

Thought they will use OLED, 4K etc

#

especially for a steam VR lol

azure fulcrum
#

its just a meta 3 but more expensive $599 to $899 and for steam

lone bloom
#

and meta is just a entry level VR headset

#

lol

crystal sleet
#

allthis vr stuff is making me wanna explore the bigscreen vr glasses again...

lone bloom
#

Steam Headsets used to be the best

#

If thats actually the "Index 2" its huge dissappointment

azure fulcrum
#

I'm not going to spenbd 900$ for a useless gimmick I'll use 2 hours and never touch again

crystal sleet
#

just buy several vr games and force yourself to play them, problem solved

lone bloom
#

lmao

#

I mean I have mine from 2019 still, and it still runs

#

Kinda expected that 4K with high FOV is by now the "normal" for VR headsets ngl

#

and OLED for the medium expensive ones to high quality ones

#

apparantly we're still not at that point kekw

crystal sleet
#

laser projected vr screens when!

azure fulcrum
#

300$ is more reasonable

crystal sleet
crystal sleet
lone bloom
azure fulcrum
#

kruger stingray

crystal sleet
crystal sleet
lone bloom
#

Apparantly its not a thing anymore to build Headsets that rely on a PC Build?

humble anvil
#

will see how this; "MSI MAG 271QP QD-OLED X28 27-inch" does. Reviews say. 'its alright' but for 400$ seems decent yah?

#

Self aware didnt tell me shit

#

@tawny fern can you tell me anything about this monitor?

tawny fern
humble anvil
#

yeah rtings didnt have one lol

#

its gotta be basically the same though lol

tawny fern
#

i dunno

#

its 670 for me

#

the alienware one i got was 550

lone bloom
#

He just wants you to be a salesmen

#

And give him good reason to buy it and not feel like its wasted money, even while he knews he will get it either way

tawny fern
#

heres my sales pitch

lone bloom
tawny fern
#

oled good

#

buy buy buy!!

lone bloom
tawny fern
#

all my perseus homies love oleds

lone bloom
#

Is it worth

#

2 Perseus?

tawny fern
#

if u dont get oled u dont love perseus

lone bloom
#

apparantly I don't love Perseus then

tawny fern
#

uhh

tawny fern
#

ravit's saving up for an oled

humble anvil
#

this one is only $400, $423 after tax and i might hit Amazon with a 'i dont knowwwww~'

lone bloom
#

could buy it anytime I want to theoretically, but saving up for driving licence

humble anvil
#

you think its fine

tawny fern
#

wait what

lone bloom
#

(Love that it appears to be partially double the price in my country than in all others)

tawny fern
humble anvil
#

okay awesome

tawny fern
#

but dim lit is where oleds are peak, no?

tawny fern
lone bloom
#

Now even speaking about the room lighting options

lone bloom
#

4-5K

tawny fern
#

wtf

#

why

lone bloom
tawny fern
#

til driving is a luxury in germany

lone bloom
#

It is actually considered a luxury, yes

#

so are cars

humble anvil
#

i see a comment

#

"I'll say this... switching from a TN panel to an IPS one was almost life-changing."

#

i can only imagine my TN to OLED move

tawny fern
#

cant you just return it for free if you dont like it

humble anvil
#

yep

#

hopefully there's no problems though

#

rip the 4k 60hz ips monitor going to the closet

tawny fern
#

dell has a 30 day return window, and a 3 year warranty

lone bloom
#

4K - only 60hz?

#

how

#

didn't even know 4K with 60 hz exists

humble anvil
#

olddd monitor lol

#

i wanted to mess around n see 4k

#

'experience' it

lone bloom
#

higher hz rates are older than 4K

humble anvil
#

im sorry it might be 120hz

#

lol

#

its 60hz

#

lol

#

idk maybe its because i have it rotated

lone bloom
#

in the end its only displayed as 60hz because you never adjusted it in the settings

humble anvil
#

i do have it pivot, but yeah 60hz, cant changed it and i have a DP 2.0 connected to it

lone bloom
humble anvil
lone bloom
#

Rustle about to enter a whole new world

humble anvil
#

OLED already brighter than my IPS monitor

#

i gotta check the tn monitor lol

tawny fern
#

my tn already has burn in lol

humble anvil
#

what

lone bloom
#

not just 2 generational better display

tawny fern
#

its so old

lone bloom
#

But also higher hz

humble anvil
#

wow the oled is brighter than my TN

lone bloom
#

"so old" OLED isn't THAT old in the first place?

humble anvil
#

idk why it says LED display type

#

when the website says TN

tawny fern
#

no my tn is super old

lone bloom
#

me who uses his tech stuff usually until its literally broken before I buy anything new

#

Yes that includes PC hardware aswell kekw

#

But wouldn't even then switch to OLED unless they fix the issues that everyone talks about

humble anvil
#

oh its not as bright i geuss

#

nvm lol 'peak brightness'

tawny fern
#

oh

#

i actually had to turn down the brightness on my oled lol

#

from factory settings

#

explosions in some games were like real life flashbangs

#

or the uhh

#

use the windows oled calibration tool

tawny fern
#

šŸŒž

azure fulcrum
tawny fern
#

OH

#

the HDR is insane

#

i forgot about that lol

#

yeah it REALLY pops when HDR is turned on

azure fulcrum
#

.>

tawny fern
#

we love oled, and hdr

#

i always thought hdr was a meme, and then i experienced it

azure fulcrum
#

HDR is quite shit on my monitor it doesnt have enough nits

lone bloom
#

I have HDR deactivated on mine

#

Because it fucks up screenshots

tawny fern
lone bloom
#

so we gonna be happy for Live 4.5 release next week?

tawny fern
#

I took a pic

tawny fern
#

oh jesus whats with the artifacting

#

its so black the camera had a heart attack

#

also i promise you the left monitor is black lol

lone bloom
# tawny fern

tbf on phones it appears to always look significantly worse than it is

#

Because mine appears quite "black" too with the normal eye, and only gets those weird blue grey spots aswell if I look into the camera of my phone

#

tbf just tested it with HDR on, HDR makes black appear brighter than it should be lol

lone bloom
#

Glad I don't need to care about monitors rn and don't have to do the decision rn to oled or no oled

#

and until i have to oled won't have those issues (hopefully) anymore EeveeFear

#

(he said hopefully, while VR headsets are still way behind my expectations - im doomed kekw )

#

soooo @humble anvil decided if you do it or not? xD

humble anvil
#

yah imma do it

#

this one i'll keep the order in

humble anvil
#

280hz, its pretty average, 'like new' condition. for 400 bucks

#

in comparison eeeee

#

if i can save a few bucks sure

#

may not be the brightest screen, but according to displayspecs

#

its the same exact thing as Alienware's 27 inch

#

the same one Aqua has

#

and he glazes that thing for being really good

tawny fern
#

I LOVE IT

humble anvil
#

in fact according to specs the monitor i got has 38% more srgb over the alienware

#

but its not 360hz

#

simple dimple 280hz

#

its also clear motion certified at 15000 so idk if that really means anything since its just oled tech being oled lol

tawny fern
#

if we're not playing star citizen at 360 fps what are we even doing

humble anvil
#

roblox at 360 fps

tawny fern
#

lol

#

ok but imagine osrs at 360 fps

humble anvil
#

Sara boss in oled glory

azure fulcrum
# tawny fern

thats nuts I didn't even notice the oled its that black xD

tawny fern
#

ok now imagine the blacks of space

humble anvil
#

just color comparing
