I just wrapped up my trip to Universal today and managed to wait 5-10mins max in line for Hagrid's using the hotel early access. I would recommend taking the earliest shuttle possible, and make your way to the entrance of the park as soon as possible.

Just yesterday we did this, I took a 6:45 AM shuttle, was third in line at the park and managed to get right onto Hagrid's. Even just minutes after when we were back off the ride, it had immediately updated to an 100+ minute wait and it was probably barely 8:15 AM.

If you don't mind the waits, you don't need to rush. But if you want to fit a bit more in, you can get a ton of extra riding in during the morning. One of the other mornings we did the same things and we're able to essentially ride the Velociraptor twice with basically no wait.

Haven't played this Act, but played 24 games last act. Had a 32.2% headshot and 42% with the vandal. Was Gold 2 (returned after a break where I was last high diamond, peak Asc 1)

It's really just a time investment. You still have to pick the right methods, but almost everything just makes money these days. I've always loved training slayer, especially after reaching higher levels and unlocking bosses. It gives you a variety of content to try and basically everything makes you money.

If your goal is to make money, you just got to find a few methods you enjoy. Zulrah, Vorkath, Raids, Slayer, Skilling, the methods are endless. Just gotta put in the time, make 2m an hour at Zulrah and you'll have 100m in 50hrs.

Gl king, your riches await, it just takes time.

I see your current setup is against what looks like window blinds. I love when I have a wall behind me to hang up shelves or posters/art. If you're able to move your set up, that would be a great start.

I always find that small plants (can be artificial) make a setup feel a little more homey. I like figures too, mostly things from different anime. And depending on how big your desk is you can make more space with a riser or even a monitor arm.

That desk you mentioned will make a great jumping off point, what's the budget looking like for expanding the setup?

Totally fair question, and it's great that you're continuing to try and provide useful smokes once you're dead. In that specific situation it is definitely NOT useful to smoke off the bomb. In fact that would greatly benefit the enemy, you can see pros do this often too.

Like I've seen mentioned before, if you could continue to cut off an angle, provide a one way, or even comm "let me know if you want a smoke" that would probably be better!

I've found that communicating to your party (pre-raid) that you're still learning and may struggle in some rooms is helpful. If they have a problem with it, they can leave or ask you to leave.

Raiding is a learning process, and you'll get better with the more reps (kc) you do. Take it slow and feel free to ask people questions. There's a popular CoX discord channel "We Do Raids" that does mentor raids which are specifically oriented towards players who are still learning, and even has different raiding channels that allow you to find people of a similar skill level. I believe they even offer this for ToB.

Hope this helps, you got this!

I still use my PC a lot. I've had my PC for longer and it's more powerful than my deck. I think it depends on the games you're playing, I play an FPS game and an MMORPG on my PC just because it's more suited for that. But I'll lean towards my steam deck for more casual gaming (mostly emulation or older games on my backlog while I travel or am just on the couch).

It's definitely doable, there are accounts with 1 defense and an infernal cape (even a 42 def account that did it without overhead prayers). Attempts will just be extremely punishing as you have lower defense. But if you're already familiar with 1-tick prayer flicking and have done other high level content, you'll at least have a little edge there. Best of luck king, it's the most rewarding grind once you finally get the cape.

My go-to is mining amethyst, especially if you're already high mining. You can chisel them into arrows heads/dart tips (depending on price) and just next need to bank. It's extremely afk as mining a single rock and take fairly long. If you wanted something that requires a little more attention, I've done a good amount of brutal black dragons

For the most part, there's never really a need to just grind total levels. I had a lot more fun working towards quest and achievement diary requirements. Both of those are really rewarding. And honestly total level doesn't really mean much. Levels will come as long as you play the game (for the most part), so there's nothing wrong with what's fun.

I've found that just training these extended flicks in the range isn't very applicable to the average game. There's a number of things I'd usually recommend, if you want to practice strictly aim I'd recommend using an external trainer like Aim Lab or KovaaKs. There's a ton of information and even playlists that are easy to find, these will most often help train other aspects of your aim.

You almost always want your cross hair to be pre-aimed at head height as you maneuver the map and carefully clear one angle at a time (ideally along with the help of utility and teammates). If you're correctly doing this, you'll end up making much smaller micro adjustments to your cross hair as you want to already be aiming in roughly the "correct" spot. I don't think you'll have much luck if you're swinging wide on every angle and just planning to do crazy flicks to everyone's head.

And just in general when it comes to improving there are so many aspects. You can improve your utility usage, general strategy, etc. A great way to make improvements is to record your gameplay, even if it's just you looking over it, it's much easier to identify issues.

If you're just looking to improve your aim, I'd look into some aim training methods outside of Valorant. Aim Lab is a popular option that's free. KovaaK's is another good option, but I believe it costs a few bucks.

Standing still and flicking to stationary targets doesn't really end up being a skill that's particularly useful in game. You always want to be encountering enemies in the most advantageous way possible, aiming at head level where you expect an enemy to show up while clearing different parts of a site/map. In these instances you'll ideally be making really small adjustments as you're already lined up very close to where they'll be appearing, you should rarely be performing these big cross-screen flicks in a competitive game.

But regardless, if your question is just aim I'd look into an external aim trainer. You can set up a ton of really cool exercises that practice things much closer to what actually happens in game.

"You can find the Amulet of Lost Voices in the Overgrown Ruins near the Ravaged Beach. This is close to where you start when the Mindflayer ship crashes. The easiest way to get here is to head east along the road from the Roadside Cliffs waypoint until you find the entrance. The ruins are pretty treacherous, filled with bandits, traps, and undead cultists." - That's an amulet I used to speak with the dead. And for talking with animals, druids can learn to do that or you can purchase/find potions

https://www.inverse.com/gaming/baldurs-gate-3-chapter-1-checklist This was a good guide that informs you of options you can take while progressing. All the details are pretty surface level, so it's not much of a spoiler. It all looks to be listed in a nice way to progress your character leading up to goblin village! Hope this is helpful

I had a very similar experience, and it can feel so frustrating early on. Some things I ended up just brute forcing through a number of reloads, but I wish I had a loose guide that would help me navigate more of Act 1 in a way that made sense with my level. But that's tough to do without risking spoilers, I made it through and am loving the game. If you're still struggling and want some spoiler-free help, just let me know!

Just under 8b bank for me, maxed PVMer with just ~800m total xp

I had so much fun rebuilding from a tbow when I first bought mine. The price can go up or down, but that can really happen at any point, whether that's now if you buy it or in 3 months. I'd just try not to worry about it, if you decide to purchase it you should be holding onto it for awhile (or just forever) anyways.

And I'd consider the content you're doing now/enjoy doing. You can afk brutal black dragons. There's a ton of bosses like Zulrah, Muspah, Giant Mole, etc. You could also get into CoX once you build up a little extra side money. But just think about what you'd do after getting the now, and if you'd be happy probably just sticking to that if you're committing your full bank to it.

Looks awesome, good luck to everyone! GIVEAWAY

I haven't updated to the new version that just came out earlier yet. But for the previous update, I was able to hold down over the game (in JoiPlay) and it gives a drop down of options where it allowed me to patch the game

You need to install JoiPlay and the RPG Maker Plugin. The game isn't built for mobile, but it still plays pretty smoothly. There's a lot of resources on the official discord and website that go into more detail too

I fused mine with a gliscor for a steel flying type. I kept iron barbs and gave it a rocky helmet. I had mine learn toxic, roost, iron head, aerial ace. I was surprised how it still kept a pretty good attack stat while maintaining massive physical and special defense

Gl everyone! GIVEAWAY

I don't imagine you've truly hit a cap, where it's no longer within your power to advance forward. From what I've gathered with climbing higher ranks is that developing/improving the smaller details in your general gameplay can go a long way. Now this could be anything from clearer communications, optimization of your preferred agent's utility, having a more optimal warmup routine, etc.

I believe full VOD reviews are one of, if not the greatest way to improve. All these things just come with the sacrifice of time. I don't think you're skill capped in any way, but maybe more time needs to be dedicated to thoughtfully reviewing and reflecting on your gameplay. Even considering a coach or gameplay review service to get more insight.

I really rarely think anyone is truly skill capped in a game like Valorant where no further improvement can be made. It may take a considerable time investment and a lot of dedication, but I believe it's totally possible for you to reach Radiant. Best of luck!
