PCGamesN Friday, May 6, 2022 7:16 PM  Lost Ark's May update will give western players their first glimpse of a legion raid. While the popular MMORPG has been around for a few months now, the lengthy encounter is one of the endgame slices of content from the eastern version that we've yet to see. SmilegateRPG describes legion raids as "difficult team-based activities that require teamwork to understand and execute the strategy necessary to counter each legion commander's unique characteristics, abilities, and mechanics". They can take a while to master, so you're getting gates that act as checkpoints to save your progress as you advance. The first legion raid you're getting is Valtan, which is an eight-player encounter with two checkpoints and a "swathe of new mechanics". You'll need to get your item level to 1,415 to try normal and 1,445 for hard. If you manage to complete the raid, you'll get materials to craft a new rarity of gear called 'Relic' for your troubles. SmilegateRPG says these provide more "impactful armour and weapon bonuses" alongside "bigger stat bonuses and more engraving nodes on accessories".

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, May 6, 2022 7:15 PM  We all had a bad time waiting out the graphics card shortage that took place from late 2020 up until recently, but it wasn't the first time crypto mining was to blame for a lack of Nvidia and AMD GPUs. Back in 2017 and 2018 there was another similar situation going on with the GTX 10 Series that led to huge profit increases for Nvidia and higher prices for gamers. Although the sting back then wasn't nearly as bad as what we just experienced, it does point to a trend at how Nvidia likes to handle sales. You got the cash, Nvidia has the splash Simply put, cryptomining and productivity tasks are for business and gaming is just a hobby (for most). Expectedly, companies and profit-geared individuals are far more willing to pay more and to buy in bulk compared to traditional individual retail sales for graphics cards. Once things started heating up during the last crypto boom, Nvidia was in a great place as a market leader to supply plenty of graphics cards for increased d... |
