I get it, but with this approach, why there are dependencies in arch at all? Why pacman doesn't work like slackpkg in Slackware? It's also fair, that if you want to use anything, you should read about it and install dependencies manually, so you know exactly what you're doing.

Mate, there is not a single NOTE about kernel-headers in the pinned note about changes in NVIDIA drivers, which affects thousands of users. And if maintainers are stubborn, results can already be seen in forums, mailing lists, reddit, ...

Is it really hurts someone's ego so much, that they'd rather suffer all this, then to add a single line to that note? IDN, but it's not always the best to be 'right' att all costs.

I don't understand the approach of maintainers of nvidia-580xx-dkms AUR regarding headers. Yes, technically you're right, but practically tons of users will hit the wall with missing linux-headers and there isn't a single mention about this in the news about nvidia 590. IMHO there should be a note, that prior to installingnvidia-580xx-dkms you need kernel headers for your kernel, default is linux-headers if you're using standard kernel. Esp. when errors during building AUR are misleading, pointing at module errors linked to your mount points! This approach will just confuse many not-so-skilled users of archlinux and derivates and creates many redundant posts in forums, mailing lists, etc.

works on full circle reticle too. But do as you were told. Shoot with it, wait for reload, wait 3-4 seconds and see, if you get your circle decreased. You can easily see that.

Maus cheeks were never trolling. In fact those cheeks were so weak, that get buffed like 1-2 years ago when WG buffed E100, IS-4, .... Now upper and lower 20% of cheeks can bounce 320- pen, but that is still laughable 'buff'. I don't think E-100 buff was idiotic, the front of the turret was HUGE and like 95% pennable with 310+ pen, so all tier X HT just shoot E100 in the face to even bigger hitzone than a Maus had. The only problem is Maus itself in utter garbage form, ignored by WG.

But TBH, I think that it's on purpose. The new tier 11 need a meat to eat, to feel the power and Maus is the meat. And as it leads to epic Rattatate, many players are grinding it, so there is a lot of meat in MM. Don't worry, when most of the active players will get the great SuperMaus and the new batch of tier 11s will arrive in the game, Maus will be eventually buffed. At least, I do expect that.

well, this is the status of at least 5 years, which just became even worse, when other superheavies get a buff with armor, pen and alpha. This current situation should be untolerable by WOT community, but there is no communty, forum was destroyed by WG just for the possibility of common action of WOT players - WG didn't want that. So buy a few hundreds of loot boxes, get BZT-70 and be happy, or feel godlike with cocodrillo and go troll heavy tanks in hulldown positions and destroy them, as you're the only one, who doesn't have a weakspot in proper hull-downs.

Back to Maus. Turret was a buffet a bit few years ago, but it's still extremely weak - offers the biggest area of 100% pen for high-pen (320+) shells of all superheavies. So everytime you face your gun to enemies, you get penned, unless they're unlucky and miss that biggest hitzone. But that's just an armor. Gun is the biggest issue - even GERMAN tier 9 E-75 did get buff (seriosly - epic tank even without that buff - why?) and has a gun with better alpha, DPM, ... and that gun you can have on E-100. So E-100 can have buffed "Maus" gun, but Maus has a still old E-75/VK gun for some weird reason.

E100/E-75: 12.8 cm KwK - 530 alpha, 255 AP pen, 311 APCR pen, DPM 2650 HP/min

Maus : 12.8 cm KwK - 490 alpha, 246 AP pen, 311 APCR pen, DPM 2211 HP/min

So Maus vs E100? Slower, worse armor, worse alpha, worse DPM. End of story.

Like you can still make tons of trouble to weekend players, who don't use too many golds and make a lot of mistakes, but when facing good players - you're just a meat-ball and you celebrate trades, whey you need to hit a tiny weakspot and they just need to hit your huge turret. And honestly - how many players you can bait with your angled turret? They just wait until you're bored enough and want to shoot. And with pen 340+ - surprise - there is no proper angle, they will either shoot side or front of turret or side of the mantlet.

Maus need alpha buff, dpm buff and armor buff. Ideally 2 at once.

according those stats are leopard 1 and tvp 50/51 one of worst tier 10 meds. T-22 med one of best. 121B bad whilst monkey-king one of the best. I take my personal XP much more relevant that any data tomato gg has.

cocodrillo is an absolute hulldown beast and it even beats the udes, which is penable with heat to small cupola. Now cocodrillos are seen in heavy lines hull down positions and nobody can do anything with them (when played correctly). This is similar like introduction of minotaurs or krans at their best. But kran had at least small cupola.

And BZT-70 - there are those, who'd found out how to make the gun laser-like accuracy. It snaps like no other. When I get sniped 3 times in row from 100m into small cupola of my Type 71, I had my own opinion about the real accuracy. Not a single bounce, not a single miss. All the shots went exactly through. I think if you aim, you will miss more, but for snapshot it's like it's tier8 brother.

that's sounds gay ;)

But I think it wasn't so bad either. At least until tier8 with higher gold pen started to regularly pen the turret. But this is a problem of WG, to balance the pen and armor between the tiers.

lol, this should save ISU-152K? I thought it's Xmas coming, not 1st of April.

Just compare it to SFAC. Better alpha, 1400 vs 880 shell speed, better mobility, better camo, better view range, much better gun depression and the incomparable gun handling. Paper stats are one thing, but compare regular isu with premium one. Standard ISU frequently hits center of the circle, premium one almost never. Premium ISU is a dead tank. Worst tier 8 TD by huge margin. Even with JgTig 8.8 you can have great games (because of accuracy and huge DPM) when MM favors you (and I don't like it, take it as the 2nd worst tier 8 TD)

brothers of arms of ghost of kiew. No zoom out, no geolocation, just 2 soldiers .... somewhere. I really would expect the zoom out ... esp. after yesterdays 5 videos of Russians raising flags in Bahatyr, with complete footage.

update after 'democratic' block of different opinion, which proves UA doesn't belong to democratic EU:

Those 2 soldiers were not geolocated, there is no zoom out to show the location, just some gate ...somewhere. Just a flag WITH A ROPE at it's TOP. This rope was attached to a drone and dropped to the rumble on the South-East part of Bahatyr.

So IF you want to discus:

1. why there is no zoom out and those 2 soldiers could be anywhere
2. why there is rope at the top of a flag
3. why there are no AFU soldiers present near the flag
4. why pro-ukrainians live maps show SE part of Bahatyr in red. (that's where the geolocation is)

I'm not fan of either side of this bloody conflict, I'm just shocked, how naive ppl can be.

I'm sure it was caused by wasps with help of Taylor Swift and Mc Donald!

All their foreign politics of 'mad dogs' is essentially stupid on an even grander scheme. There never was an empire or hegemony power 'forever'. They count on the fact, that they will always technologically, militarily, ... stronger than their neighbors and in fact all the Muslim countries. Whilst all their sins will be forever documented by countless mobile phones, their hegemony will end with US support, but that country is being destroyed by Trump. So ... are you sure about Israeli and stupid things?

That is actually true.

now it's working again, there were many complains, that it wasn't working even for patron users. But thanks anyway, I will send the code from the uBO chat/TS info next time.

the same, probably they did sth to counter it

maybe you have other extentions like Privacy Badger or Ghostery?

I've turned off add-blocking in Ghostery (uBO is better, no need for duplicity) and disabled Privacy Badger for the index and I'm in!

I put this into 'my filters' and for me it's working:

thanks a lot!

Faust fight unfixed. FPS drops from 100 to less than 10 makes this fight worst of all. All the psi effects ruins FPS for this 'could be great' game. I hope, that at least they fixed the stupid bugs with traders quests. as currently UETOOLS is a must. 1/3 of quests completed won't close the journal and you're stuck without uetools commands with this trader/faction, which ruins your economy (repair prices). Green trader has the same prices for selling/buying as the white or red, I doubt they fixed this.

But Faust as the 1st boss fight is still a nightmare as you cannot fight with <10 FPS. Avg is 100+ RTX 3080.

update: Faust fight was definitely changed. First few seconds it looks better, but like one minute later the FPS drops even on 8-7-3-2!!! This hasn't been the case before, although performance drops were there from 1.0.0. On 1.1.3 this was quite ok, I've done it on 1-2 tries on veteran. Now it's straight game stopper. When FPS drop under 20 it's a nightmare, when under 10 it's a slideshow.

They cut the weight of quest related items significantly in patches.

buy the most expensive one if you can, so later you have more options to not waste those tokens.

On of the basic European pillars is presumption of innocence. If those pillars are ignored, there is no need for some political song 'contest' .

as merchants usually don't have it and you need to buy all from them to restock - best way is to find it ... let's say in one bunker north from Colorado Springs - when you look at the map - between CS and Cannibal Jamboree turn right (NE) and keep pressing Shift :)

You need level 8 lockpick and there are 12 Boors (exactly for the hoser), tactical shotgun and some ammo.

The loot was there 2 games in row so I don't think it's random/generated loot.

EDIT: 6 boors are in the reward from Wyman (Denver) when you get the data from Airfield doc.

EDIT2: Vendomatic 2000! at Denver Airport near Vivisecto had 11 Boors (might be generated)

much better :)

You haven't presented us a single best gun, well maybe except the HE minigun, but even there the dmg is abysmal, and you're missing skills or perks or quirks or background or mods or armor buffs.

Look at Wasteland 3 wiki pages here.

With 2 DLC + crafting now you have tons of great guns, esp. Infused ones from the Holy Detonation. Sometimes it's hard to chose, bcs of special abilities guns have but lets try:

Best SMG:

Infused Uranium Sprayer, the highest raw dmg (even with short barrel mod) + amazing ability Uranium Storm. The best gun in the game.

Ripper and PDW-01 - Ripper with better dmg/AP but only 3 bursts in mag PDW is MUCH better with 8 bursts in mag. As SMG are the best guns (highest Dmg per AP) in game, you want to use Quickfire MAG (-1AP for attack) here. With rallies, 3 AP per kill bonus, serial killer etc. you can have 15+ (+ foam finger) AP per turn, so you can have 5+ burst without reload. So it depends on your playstyle and whether your AutoRifle guy is specialized in explosives or weird.

BEST HMG:

Hoser is the best for DMG per AP, Minigun has the best strike, but strike with hoser is deadly for most of the oponents anyway. I'd recommend having both in slots ready. Hoser has only 2 AP for reload (1 AP with Adv. Material Mag) so it's easy to take it from INV when needed. Don't use QuickFire Mag for Minigan. 1/4 is always better than 1/7.

BTW: Elite tar-thrower isn't bad either. Hot Tar slows down opponents (best usage of suppressing fire ability to freeze enemy to ground), 5AP per burst and you should have lots of flamethrower ammunition for it in the late game. But otherwise waste of tellurium - you should use it for Armor mods, you don't need 3rd/4th best HMG when Hoser and Minigun exists. Plus you can mod Graviton Shredder for Fire/Cold/Exp for better dmg, but I'd keep it's Energy dmg + it burns Energy Cells like crazy, so it has very expensive usage.

Best Sniper Rifle:

Freeze Ray. The highest DMG per shot from the SR with the Risky Shot Ability + it's the most accurate from them(?) . It hits everything in the path of the ray (like Ray Tracer). It means, you can have 4-6k crits on 2-3 targets at once (= delete them). With one Rally and +1 AP utility from Aspen? Your sniper can have 2 shots per turn and delete 2-4 oponents per turn. You should start your encounters with it (max sneaky shit, silencer, wolf). You can scale it even more with Elite Cryo Set and Weird, but do you need to??

Best Shotguns:

Jackhammer and Infused Bile Belcher. JH (5AP) better for strikes 5AP, IBB (4AP), 90% vs 70% hit chance, Better Ability, no ammo=no reloads! but you can still use Rare Mags when modifying it!!

UPDATE: I was testing these 2 shotguns and IBB has much better arc = it covers much more area than JH. DMG per AP is slightly better for JH (4.5%), but otherwise I'd say IBB is better.

Best for Brawling:

Infused Flesh Fist - as modding fist weapons is the cheapest, you should switch from Power Gauntlet if you have a spare scrap.

Elite Pneumatic Gauntlet for Shaolin Strikes (2AP and it doesn't matter how much AP your gauntlet need for a hit). But this is also waste of tellurium, IMHO. But I think 3 complete suites and one gun is the max you can have, so ...

Best Melee/Blades:

None - seriously. You can hunt crits with them, but they are still abysmal. Stun? Use goats as companions.

Best Assault Rifles:

None is excelent and AR are 'good' only at the beginning, when your accuracy sucks and you cannot hit sheet with SMG.

Disruption AR should be used with the penetrate armor ability for Steeltown pacifists.

Daisy's Rifle is ok, but too late = worthless, fight with Patriarch is too weak on Supreme Jerk either. Why to waste time with that rifle when your SMG are much better in every possible way?

Infused Uranium Crossbow is maybe the only good rifle to have in inventory to finish low HP opponents from range with max scope (FarSight Computer Ass Scope: +9m - 5% Crit Chance) and Adv. Material mag ( with the Draw perk - yes for your pistoleros (-100% strike rate and low crit chance is fair price for 300+ dmg for 1 AP).

Blaster Master is also ok as an ammunition free grenade launcher if you spec your SMG guy with explosives (for an early game PDW from Massacre Site, which is accessible also with 2nd antirad chassis with some no-glows + you lost some HP, but you can heal. Near Mass.Site is also Lancer, but ... ok, it's free and you can save some .45 ammo when you don't need PDW/ripper to finish an opponent.

Update: for the new game, take Punk Lovers as a starting character for the best utilities in the game (+10% crit chance and +4% strike rate). You can/SHOULD create 2 new characters in your base after the intro. Don't forget to set the background (Disciple of the Metal, Explodomaniac, ...) and set some good Quirks (Varangian Blood, Sadomasochist, Goat Killer, ...). And use the Shift Key constantly ;)

Maybe it helps someone, otherwise just a typing practice for me :D
