Re: MMOEXP : Some critics have stated that Elden Ring as slapstick
Some critics have stated that Elden Ring Runes as slapstick, an Arthurian myth that Looney Tunes situation that births often hilarious moments, despite the game's serious trappings. Like taking your mind off for an ice-cold breath while you laugh in awe at Johnny Knoxville getting kicked in the nuts, giving yourself permission to change your correct mindset is the initial step towards truly enjoying what Elden Ring offers.Accept the fact that the game will not always play in a fair way. Accept that its massive input buffer will frequently force you drink a sip of a healing potion when you really were trying to avoid. Accept the fact that you'll likely get your legs kicked every time you leave the start area because you, in only one piece of clothing and carrying an incredibly small club, decided to face the mounted knight in the gloriously shiny armor. Be willing to accept Elden Ring for what it is, as well as for the goals that FromSoftware wanted to accomplish, and don't get hung up on what it's not. I guarantee that 90% of you will have a much better time with the game when you do. And for the other 10 percent, that's okay too.
I'm saying this with compassion and without an ounce of elitism inside my soul The art of creating doesn't necessarily have to be for everyone.
Elden Ring is a love note that could also to be written with a defunct tongue for people who are unable or unwilling to accept its demands. Although it's not as cryptic or as cryptic King's Field, unforgiving as Dark Souls, or mechanically complicated as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice The most recent FromSoftware project is still asking players to bear plenty of frustration. If they are willing to then what they'll discover in Elden Ring is a fitting culmination to director Hidetaka Miyazaki's years of experience in world building. My long sabbatical during my time in the Lands Between revealed to me a game that was equally enthralled with providing something fresh and weird to see around all corners of it's open world as it is in love with the game's own sound. Seriously, sentient iron balls? Hand monsters that are gigantic. A necrophiliac named Dung Eater. FromSoftware requires chilling.
As with most masterpieces, Elden Ring Runes buy is magnificently imperfect, and equally beautiful and ostentatious. In this age of cookie-cutter painting-by-numbers and triple-A developments, what more can you want than something that is completely confident in its bullshit? Okay, excuse me, I'm about third of the way through the game and would love to see at least one of its many finales this year.

Re: MMOEXP : Diablo 4's skill system is in gathering Skill Points
Diablo 4 Gold is your upcoming major entry in the hack-and-slash isometric RPG series from Blizzard Entertainment. While it's still in active development, we all know a good bit about how the skill system will operate and a few changes compared to past titles. Blizzard is actively accepting opinions on endgame progression and exactly how to balance experience systems for both players who are casually interested and those who'll spend thousands of hours in-game. This is what we know about Diablo 4's skill system.The first half of the progression mechanisms in Diablo 4's skill system is in gathering Skill Points. Ability Points are obtained through one of 2 ways: leveling up or discovering certain rare tomes from the sport. Unlike Diablo 4, which had seperate trees for Passive Skills and Active abilities, it seems that at Diablo 4, each class simply has just one tree. Players are able to save up points for later abilities or use them instantly upon earning them, when, where and what skills are spent on is always up to the player. The majority of them are general boost, like creating a Sorceress exchanging Skill Points so as to earn a ice spell deal more harm.
Talent trees would be the second half of the skill system in Diablo 4. Unlike Skill Points, these do not provide an overall boost. Instead, it is based about focusing your personality. Talents provide enormous boosts to particular abilities but in the price of giving up another, both useful upgrade. Talents seem to be aimed toward truly customizing a character, allowing players to highlight certain aspects for a specific playstyle.
As Blizzard provides further details on the development of Diablo 4 and shows more information on how abilities and talents will work, we will continue to upgrade what we understand, including providing full skill trees for different classes. Diablo 4 doesn't currently have a release date but if it will become available, it's coming to Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4.
Diablo IV Gold for sale keeps the classic isometric perspective that surfaced with the show back at the turn of the millennium, which in the procedure defined the action-RPG genre. In Diablo 4, thanks to its brand-new motor, this traditional demonstration will change in subtle ways.

Re: Circuit board schematics for a Status S2 ?
Posting for Mattheus:"I bought a Status S2 a while back. The previous owner removed all electronics. I still had a defective circuit board from my S2000 and had it repaired by a luthier. He also put this in the S2. Now I see that it only uses a 9V battery, but of course that must be 2 batteries; so 18 volts.
Does anyone happen to have a schematic of the circuit board?
This is a Status S2 with only a volume, balance, bass and treble potentiometer. And a switch for turning active electronics on/off. No LED.
Thank you in advance!!”

Re: Intonation
Hi,How do I go about doing the intonation on my Status? It looks like I have to loosen the grub screws and move the saddles with my fingers while the strings are loose then retune and test. It seems to be a tedious method or am I missing something? Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Stringspacing 4/5 String "block" tuners
Hi folks,just because we came across this subject in discussing classifieds in another forum (bassic.de if of interest), does anyone of you know for sure, if there had been custom string spacing options with the 20th century headless hardware?
I understand from flyers in the ressources section that with the tuners block and separate bridge opposite to the currently used per string tuner/bridge combos, all 4 Strings had 54mm overall 18mm between two strings and all 5 String models had 60mm overall / 15 mm between two strings.
Is there any known deviation from this rule or am I possibly mistaken and there is no such rule anyway?

Re: Hyperactive Pickups
Hi Markus!I have wondered the same. I had an early Stealth that was wood-cored, and had no truss rod. Probably a late 90's model. It too had pickups marked hyperactive, I believe. They sounded really good-- powerful and clear.
If I get an answer I'll post it here in reply. Sorry I do not know at this point.

Re: Nylon Tapewounds on my Status Electro 4 5-string
Hi HandyAndy, Thanks for your quick reply and photo infographic . Back in 2010 I once had the Status Nylon Tapewounds on my Electro 4 5-string. Do you maybe know if these had the same thickness as the Labella's. They fitted just fine on bridge, nut and tuner.

Re: Nylon Tapewounds on my Status Electro 4 5-string
I have an Electro 5 string fitted with Labella 750t-b White Nylon strings. These were fitted by the previous owner, they sound fantastic. Even volume across all strings and get better with age. However according to the previous owner, the B and E are too large to slot into the standard tuning pegs so he replaced them with Hipshot Ultralites which have larger slots. An expensive solution! (I've add a picture for comparison with my Energy pegs - the Electro is the one on the top. Not a great illustration but you might be able to see the size difference)Hope this helps ...........[img][/img]

Re: Nylon Tapewounds on my Status Electro 4 5-string
I am thinking about getting Tapewounds on my fretted Status Electro 4 5-string. Which brand and size would you think works and fits best, and why?
Thinking about the Labella 760N-B, don't why actually.

Re: Hyperactive Pickups
Hi all!I own two Status basses, one is a 4-string Series 1 with bolt-on wooden neck and the other one is a 5-string Eclipe also with bolt-on wooden neck. The pickups on the series 1 have "hyperactive" printed thereon, while the pickups on the Eclipse say "Status", only.
I love the sound of the 4-string and bought the Eclipse expecting it to sound similar to the Series 1. However, having same strings and pickup height, the sound of the Series 1 is much crisper than the Eclipse.
Do you have an idea if the difference in sound is due to the larger mass of the 5-string neck or are the pickups different? I was hoping that the pickups / electronics are the same in both basses...
Any comments are appreciated.
Greetings from Germany!
Markus

Re: Matrix Series I (V) Sounding Fuzzy when digging in
Hi guys, My Granddad bought my Matrix V back in 1993 (i know because i have the reciept), and i kind of inherited it after he passed. It is still in great condition, however when I play out on any string, it starts fuzzing/buzzing - both through my amp (GK MB110) and Interface (Scarlett 2i2). The bottom 2 strings are worse than the other 3, but all of them have this problem if I play any louder than quiet. The bass being active, I don't know if this problem has something to do with the batteries, or maybe with the pickups? Either way, any diagnosis/help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

Hello Steve, Did you take a look at our other site https://www.statii-catalogues.com?
There is a spec sheet for the S4000 which may help here https://www.statii-catalogues.com/pro...4000-specs

Re: Status 4000: Care, Maintenance, and Documentation
Hello Statii:I am a new member, and I would confidently bet I am the worst bassist in the entire organisation.
I've just got my Status 4000 bass out of its case for the first time in years. A magnificent machine that really deserves a better owner...
My questions revolve around the specs for the guitar, and best practices for care and maintenance.
I bought it second-hand over two decades ago. It has no documentation. I'm not even sure what the controls do. [I have a Fender precision which is easy - just two knobs!]
I contacted Status who had no documentation on the bass either, and they pushed me in your direction!
If anyone out there can fill in any of these gaping gaps in my knowledge, I'd be delighted to hear from you.
What about the batteries for the pickups? It sounded pretty feeble after years of inactivity - but new batteries transformed everything. I presume the batteries should remain in-place? Or are they continually being connected/disconnected as the guitar is played or not played?
Basically anything anyone knows about the 4000 would be new to me. Thanks in advance!
On the subject of the Fender, that of course does not have battery pickups. But it too sounded quite feeble.
Pickups do not last forever do they? Any advice on pickup replacement/renewal? How long they last, recommendations for new ones...
Best regards
Steve
