[stable shore]

so that means it will be worse

[near hedge]

if you havnt done your daily roulette yet, thatll give you plenty obviously.

[stable shore]

what are those ?

[near hedge]

first tab in the duty finder

[stable shore]

oh

i didn't know that was a thing

[near hedge]

yeee that shit. you get a bonus for doing them once a day

and if youre needed role you get an extra little bonus

[stable shore]

hum well then i'll do one

[near hedge]

like since youre a reaper, and the alliance raid has dps as the needed role, youll get a bonus for doing that one

[stable shore]

reaper level 50 has like 4 skills

i hate this game level scaling for real

[near hedge]

its the fucking worst

[stable shore]

oh, unrelated but will i see nero tol scaeva at some point ?

[near hedge]

ye

[stable shore]

nice, i like him

[near hedge]

lol hes such a cheeky bastard

[stable shore]

that's why he is the goat

also i think he is redeemable, his motivation weren't the worst and i can understand him somewhat

[near hedge]

he doesnt really get real big in the msq, but hes in a few side quest lines

[simple needle]

I like the hoodie best

[stable shore]

i'll make two versions then, i think i can use the same base and just swap the hoodie

[copper pawn]

what game are we at now? everyday I visit this subchannel once and I feel like it's already another topic

[lethal bane]

Some sort of dating sim?

[stable shore]

hum they mostly talk about that one game i don't know the name of

and sometime i mention ff14

[rugged island]

i am become death

[warped wren]

Huh what was that red ring?

Haven't seen that before

Some legendary?

[simple needle]

Fire god legend

[warped wren]

Ohhh ok

[faint mauve]

you lost thousands of tomes already i guess lol

its the main grind loop most players engage in

[stable shore]

If it's daily i lost 2k at best

[faint mauve]

also you need to do the weekly thing with aliapoh

more than 2k really , if you do trial, leveling , 50 60 etc dungeons, alliance raid, normal raid daily its hundreds per day

but best thing is to not get hung up and just play at your own pace rather than FOMO

wondrous tales is the weekly stamp grind

if really want to be efficient on tomes + exp then you also need to do main scenario roulette which is the lvl 50 end game quests... its really boring when you do it 2 months in a row daily

[stable shore]

I would have nothing to spend them on anyway

So it's ok

There is a 2k limit

[faint mauve]

i fully geared all my classes on poetics, then its used to invest in gil

roulettes are the best source for easy tomes, then its everything else

[stable shore]

Yeah but rn i only have lvl 70 gear

[faint mauve]

progression exp its leveling, trial, alliance raid, msq roulette

[stable shore]

And it was actually never relevant

Because when i unlocked poetic lvl 70 gear, it was already dogshit compared to my current gear

[faint mauve]

current gear ?

[stable shore]

Yes

[faint mauve]

poetic 70 gear is used all the way until poetic 80 gear

[stable shore]

Only the scythe is better, and by 1 flat damage

[rugged island]

oh man

316 dps

my current best is 140 omegalul

[faint mauve]

err dps is not a priority on progression since poetic gear can carry you to zoom zoom

if theres a better weapon just use it , but otherwise you gain exp really quickly doing all the roulettes as advised

[rugged island]

@warped wren did you start this trend. also is 316dps good

[faint mauve]

you'll get a few levels a day

[rugged island]

are all gear Tier 1?

[faint mauve]

your main daily activity is just roulettes, and you progress the msq doing all the story dungeons etc

[stable shore]

I still don't think it's worth grinding poetic stuff before 90

Unless i can get something other than gear with it

[faint mauve]

you need to do roulettes for exp anyway

[stable shore]

I'm gated behind msq no ?

[near hedge]

man, a part of me misses the speedrun strat for that shit, but its better overall the way it is now ;-;

[faint mauve]

exp is most important , and then the poetics you earned to spend at 80

[stable shore]

but even if i end up 90, i will need to finish msq regardless right ?

[near hedge]

yes

[stable shore]

So that doesn't seem usefull

Might as well just focus on msq

[faint mauve]

up to you i guess if you want to be efficient or take your time

i agree you should just do whatever you enjoy

and not give in to FOMO

[stable shore]

I mean, isn't focusing on msq efficient ?

[faint mauve]

haha

you'd want at least one role type to main

[near hedge]

yeah dont bother with roulettes until 90 tbh. the only thing youre really missing out on is poes for relic materials. the gear you get from msq is more than good enough, so theres no real reason to buy the poe gear until doing alts

[stable shore]

Msq gear so far is better than poetics

It's usually irrelevant in a few hours max

[near hedge]

yuuppp

[stable shore]

Current poetic is roughly equal to the starter reaper gear

[near hedge]

think poe is just 400 or 405 at that point. which isnt gonna make a difference anyways

[stable shore]

I only ever buy a ring because somehow the jewellry cache you get at every endgame gives only 1

[faint mauve]

at level 70 poetics are good all the way until like 77 - 78

[stable shore]

370

Wait no

[faint mauve]

i use them til 80 anyway

[stable shore]

370 is cache

[faint mauve]

but i also leveled all classes til 80

[stable shore]

Reaper is 385

[stable shore]

Thing is the first quests of next expansion will likely give equal or better haha

[faint mauve]

iirc it doesnt, but it does not matter

its just progression so you can wing it but the exp is good from roulettes

[stable shore]

From memory i think the first set of gear was worse

But the second gear they give tops it iirc

[near hedge]

i mean its just gonna over level the msq, and youll still be gated content wise by it

[stable shore]

By the way after playing for a while with reaper, it seems equal to samurai in dps

Aoe is much better though

[near hedge]

https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statistics/54/

lol theyre virtually identical based on this

well for raid dps at least

otherwise sam is a lot better

[stable shore]

Why is that ?

Reaper seems to give a tiny bit of party utility and has better aoe

[near hedge]

eh, a lot isnt really accurate. sam is a little better, but rdps is all that really matters in the grand scheme of things

[stable shore]

Hum honestly samurai aoe feels clunky as fuck and zdps

So i'm fine if reaper deals a lil bit less ST and has actual giga aoe

But to be 100% honest i don't see the difference between those two class

[near hedge]

square balances things to where if the class has more utility then, it does less overall dps

[stable shore]

They have identical dps from my testing and have nearly the same gameplay

[near hedge]

i mean youre also lvl 70, and everything is kind of a wash at that level

[stable shore]

Yep

[near hedge]

hell on healer i can top the chart on trash pulls lol

[stable shore]

12700 vs 13300

I guess the different really doesn't matter

I'll main one of the two for sure

I'll decide wich one at 90 probably

[near hedge]

i mean eventually youll go down the rabbit hole and level everything lol

[stable shore]

I'm generally a 1 build andy in most game haha

[faint mauve]

comedy tomes i just cap and then finish wondrous tales and im done for the week

most of my tomes come from hunt trains anyway

poetics then bozja/eureka is decent

i think i did full cycle roulette dailies for 2 months lol

inc MSQ roulettes before the revamp

i got my farm plot at home as a gil farm so i always need soil from poetics (and sell extras)

[stable shore]

What does immortal sacrifice do ?

I can't find the info anywhere

[near hedge]

its a resource for other skills

look at plentiful harvest on that page

[stable shore]

Oh, i see

Thanks

So that means, they give me a skill at level 72 i can only use at level 88

[near hedge]

lol i dont see any other skill that uses it

[stable shore]

I'll enjoy the in average 0.48% increased damage buff while waiting

It would be too much fun to unlock both skills at 72

[near hedge]

even the balance guide doesnt go over it at all lol

[stable shore]

Well the next fun skills is in 5 levels at 76 then

[near hedge]

god i hope they redo the job skill scaling

idk what theyre gonna do because now were going to lvl 100, which should technically be like 5 more skills, but theyve been complaining about button bloat for awhile. so id how theyre going to be able to do that without cutting some stuff out, which is going to make lower levels even worse

[rugged island]

i am become speed

[near hedge]

lol flicker strike build

[faint mauve]

if i had sense i should retire on FFXIV after endwalker's strong conclusion but FF nostalgia stronk

[near hedge]

im honestly excited to where we go next. just from the concept art theyve shown it looks really nice imo

plus the graphics update is looking so fucking good

[faint mauve]

graphics update will be good but probably gonna be awhile til legacy areas etc are touched up

[near hedge]

from the sounds of it, its mostly just a lighting vfx update with slight prettying up to the models themselves

if i remember right they said every piece of gear will be done by release

[faint mauve]

cool

i spent too much time on my house to stop now

hahaha

[near hedge]

im hoping to land a med house with 7.0

[faint mauve]

splendorous crafter / gather relic grind is obnoxious

[near hedge]

weve got a small one for our little fc currently, and i fucking hate the layout

[faint mauve]

luckily i get my current tier food from FC, and hyper potions i can still craft myself

[near hedge]

i left crafting to my friend lol. i said fuck that shit a long time ago

[faint mauve]

to get a splendorous fishing rod upgraded i need to farm a ton of this rare fish

[near hedge]

jesus christ fuck fishing

got the ocean mount and retired that stupid shit. didnt even bother finishing the job quests lol

[faint mauve]

nice though

rainbow fish i tried doing but failed after 20 hours so i gave up

also aethersand reduction is very good for gil making

so fishing is a good source of gil haha

[near hedge]

all of the fish for the quests go for like 1-10k on my server

feel like if i really wanted to, that could be a decent source

but god fishing is so mind numbing

[faint mauve]

ehh not worth it, its better to craft a double for crafting quests to sell

for fishing you can go for the rare big ones worth millions

[near hedge]

that involves a lot of effort though

[faint mauve]

yes but its worth it

i find its more fun when you know the value of the hunt haha

[near hedge]

lol true

[faint mauve]

also on leveling crafters i make a double high quality piece, to sell

for example :

[near hedge]

oh hell

[faint mauve]

just make an extra, you sell and bank

from fishing :

[near hedge]

ik crafting always made bank, but never really looked into how much bank

do people actually buy it though?

[faint mauve]

yes

moonlight aethersand is needed for high level raid consumables

i got stuff worth like 500k gil

treasure hunt materials etc

[near hedge]

god damn

[faint mauve]

i like loot

[near hedge]

i wanna level blue so i can actually solo the treasure hunt stuff. havnt bothered with maps for a few exp now

[faint mauve]

you can do solo maps if you are lazy to PF group treasure maps

there are maps for solo, and maps for team

yesterday i cleared my solo maps, got about 200k gil worth of loot

alot of rare materials are out there to make really nice glam , like the dress i got on my toon lol

[near hedge]

ye but with blue you can solo the 8 man ones

[faint mauve]

better to just PF a team right ? unless you want all the loot for yourself

[near hedge]

i dont really like doing pf for stuff

[faint mauve]

id just do solo maps, its never not rewarding to do maps

plus its really just one big gamba

fail lol

[warped wren]

Yes, also that's a crazy good axe. My current mythic on Kront has 275 dps

[simple needle]

i realise dps dont mean anything if it doesnt calculate spell related damage

only the weapon's dmg itself

They really need to buff dash related skills

They don't do enough

[copper pawn]

there's no game that buff movement skill to be as good as main damaging skills

[simple needle]

they dont have to be as good in damage, but at lease they should provide more utility

like lower dash cd or more dash charges etc

[warped wren]

The Krom Dash and Mort dash are crazy good

[shadow sundial]

i had not used Merris before. oh man i love her now. that infinite range pull perk is amazing for exp gain. i got the Mayhem (bonus damage gained on cursed death) boon early too. yowza. her autoattack is the only one i feel like is actually good, since you can take a piercing boon on it

i also think that Mayhem is multiplicative with your other attack/spell damage... i had roughly 400% bonus from the boon in that screenshot, which makes sense against my normal/base 98% spell damage (plus the random small shrine buffs and the spell damage boon i took too)

so a bit under 200% bonuses from gear and boons additive with eachother, and then the 400% from Mayhem. seems super stronk

[simple needle]

Mayhem is a must have in all runs

its bonkers

[shadow sundial]

yeah i got the expert version of it early

[eager ridge]

lemme just say, having 2 pieces of gear that gives master % and 1 piece of gear that gives both master and legendary %, is HOT

and then you run around looking for the thing that reduces your adept and expert % for more master %

and then by the time you finish the map, you have like 10 legendary's and 20 masters

[shadow sundial]

multiple +111% exp shrines, went with Time/Lightning/Mort... jesus christ this is ridiculous haha

doesnt matter if they're offered at novice tier, when you level up that much you get them to L5 and then you get the upgrade options anyway

[rugged island]

you fools got me addicted

i didnt need this

thanks

[shadow sundial]

haha

[rugged island]

lol i got the master quality xp shards give stacking attack speed

i got my rate down to 0.11

time is so broken

[simple needle]

I need more ways to grind in the game

[rugged island]

yeah i hope they will still update this

feels like a lack of content and meta progression

(theres only 1 ranged character???)

[simple needle]

I notice skellies with bow and arrow shoots fireballs

So I doubt there would be a hero with a bow and arrow when merris already shoot fireballs

But I'd like more ranged

[rugged island]

id like an archer

or crossbow

[shadow sundial]

Merris is already amazing with ranged attack and infinite pull range from the achievement perk

[rugged island]

btw do book collections do anything? do you get anything for completing a set?

[shadow sundial]

not yet. i have them all. i got two more random lore books once i had all three sets done. nothing appears to do anything yet in the library

[hardy crane]

so in Death Must Die - do I just need to keep grinding until i get farther and farther to get access to better loot etc?

feels like I get nothing but shit, and the vendor almost never offers anything good

feels like I am missing something

[shadow sundial]

Vendor won’t sell the rarity tier until you get your first drop of that tier. Killing Dracula drops 3-4 mythics every time

[simple needle]

There's uniques in the game

[hardy crane]

ah I haven't gotten to Dracula

[simple needle]

With text describing them

[hardy crane]

I clearly need to get good

lol

I only have like a handful of blue items

and just got a relic

after playing for many hours heh

[shadow sundial]

It felt like a pretty smooth ramping up, but quickly snowballed once I started getting mythics

[simple needle]

There's just some OP builds that are impossible to fail with

[hardy crane]

opposite here

I feel completely stonewalled

and "builds" being RNG lol

[simple needle]

Like Mayhem+ curse + gem high + more XP shards skills

[shadow sundial]

A lot of it comes down to having the dice available to force your 3 gods to be a good combo, and then banishing and rerolling to get good boons

[simple needle]

Or flare and luck build

[hardy crane]

makes sense - I just got banish dice

[rugged island]

i perfer hydra

my base pickup is already 4k

thats almost off screen

[shadow sundial]

Yeah but pickup range is a high affix weight cost. You’d be able to get a ton more total stats (or dice!) if you didn’t have to put pickup range on everything. And with how important xp is, you kind of need huge pickup

And 4K is still way too short to get all the stuff you’re offscreen killing when you ramp up heh

I dunno, Merris just feels super amazing with that perk. I was able to totally regear her, and now I have a lot of flexibility in which gods I can take

[hardy crane]

guess I just need to keep playing heh

clearly have not gotten far enough

[shadow sundial]

I still prefer Mort, but my other two I kind of mix up

[simple needle]

Which kront passive is best?

[hardy crane]

half the time what i get powers wise is so shit I cant even beat the 1st 2 mini bosses

[shadow sundial]

Yeah getting that first Necromancer and Dracula kills in helps a lot. Necro can drop mythic items too. And then you’ll start seeing them on vendor

Once you get your first life tap (heal chance on hit, most common on weapon) affix it helps a ton too

[rugged island]

WTF

[simple needle]

Yeah heals are op

[rugged island]

3 life on HIT ?!?!

[simple needle]

No armour as well

If you don't get one shot

[shadow sundial]

I had that boon once… it’s amazing. But you can still get chunked hard because no mitigation

[simple needle]

It's op

[rugged island]

my armor was only 15% anyway, and my life is 106. I think its a good perk :))

40% evasion

on merris

[simple needle]

I always run kront with Armour into damage, I see it as win win

[rugged island]

omg wtf. and im running Unholy too

this run is the nuts

[simple needle]

Level30 dracula?

[rugged island]

my "gain damage if enemy dies to cursed" is already stacked up to 120% damage.

yes im on l30

wait. its not 120

its 177

im only 11 mins in

ahahaha

ok im never having this much good rng ever again

(lvl 20)

this is already better than most of my builds at the minute 20 mark

yeah l30 necromancer died in 3 seconds

?????????

And it stacks with Hoarfrost...

[simple needle]

How do you get so many legends in one run

[rugged island]

this is unethical

now im 1 shotting every mob

15 minutes in

[simple needle]

Get that one shot dracula on video

[rugged island]

idk its never happened before

[simple needle]

And post it on YouTube

[rugged island]

i dont think itll be a 1 shot. it might be before he can cast his hand spell even once tho

[simple needle]

Fastest 30 dracula kill ever

[rugged island]

funny enough no mythic quality items have dropped

all my rng is in the god powers and none into items

7 second fight. gg

he did not get the hand spell off like i predicted 😛

Mayhem stacked to 998% lmao

[simple needle]

You won the game

[rugged island]

ok but now what

is l30 it? theres no more meta progression?

this game really is lacking content lol

[simple needle]

That's it lol

[rugged island]

All items are Tier 1 right? dev never added tier 2+ ?

it makes me feel like they want to add more meta progression but they just didnt yet? I hope updates are coming and this isnt an early 1.0 take-my-money-and-run sort of thing

this game is very fun but it needs more

96% projectile and spell velocity. Any ideas how to abuse this?

[simple needle]

Take my money and run, damn it's pretty much more than it's worth

Though I'd like more content

[rugged island]

i mean i'd pay $5 for DLC

it doesnt need to be a free update

seems worth it

[eager ridge]

well shit

do i go this

or this

[shadow sundial]

What do you mean L30? Levels don’t cap. There’s an achievement for getting 30 on some of the heroes though

[eager ridge]

OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD WHAT IS THAT

[shadow sundial]

Tooltip dps is based only on the stats on the weapon. Need to think about what else you’re wearing or taking as boons. You’re giving up a huge stat budget to wear a pure %atk sword… and if you’re focusing on Spells to do most of your damage that doesn’t help at all.

[eager ridge]

yea weapon on left is what i was currently wearing

just swapped to the weapon on the right

[shadow sundial]

The xp gain on your current one is also sweet

You had already swapped when you took that SS. That’s why I was confused

[eager ridge]

massive attack crit and exp gain + Repetition, which skadi can make use of with 1 of her perks

[shadow sundial]

Wait nm you didn’t…. The tooltip change thing reads the other way around

I’ll see myself out, thanks

[shadow sundial]

They’re still kind of early in development I think. There was a patch yesterday and I noticed they added more menu config options. You’re not usually building out fundamentals like that if you’re almost ready for v1.0

[eager ridge]

this right here is the most broken buff in the game, and the reason im winning any match now

it can give you temporary legendary boons out the kazoo

i've only found like 3 legendaries, but with that buff, i have 12 legendaries right now?

yea literally all you need is Time, spell duration, exp gain, and luck

oh lord have mercy

@eternal sky

[rugged island]

30 difficulty

The star thing

[warped wren]

Man

I've been trying to do Ghost Matter even at 0 heat

Shit's hard man

[eager ridge]

JESUS

i'm cackling right now

[eager ridge]

so you grab the Time auto attack skill to make hits on enemies drop exp shards, the Undead one so kills on enemies drop additional exp shards, and then the Time skill where exp shards grants attack and movement speed and then you just ZOOM

and thats GG

[shadow sundial]

i dont know if i can play anyone but Merris anymore. i'm addicted to this now

her autoattack easily topping DPS. and shit i didnt even spec Blades, i just got that randomly through the Alteration Ritual haha

i did have 3 attack projectiles with piercing tbf :p

lifetap and max dice... yes i will take this tyvm

5k off vendor? that's a steal

i am also investing in HP for my Merris. makes the Lifelink feel better (higher lifetap threshold in raw hp)

[rugged island]

theres better

dragonscale mythic is like 2hp regen/sec

my computer is randomly going black screen and the gpu fans go nuts.... doing the lovely unplanned activity of troubleshooting today

reinstalled gpu driver, done, no fix. checked temps, temps are good. now i just replaced my thermal paste on my gpu in case that was causing an electrical issue from being old. If it crashes again I will start testing other PSUs and GPUs... sigh..

if I have to buy a new card at least its Black Friday.... the best of the worst time for a part to faIL

[eager ridge]

thats trash

when you can go time, and have 0.1 hits a second

hitting 10 times a second

well i mean it isnt trash

but

yea

life on hits pog

[rugged island]

its better for bossing

you arent getting 10 wep hits a second on 1 target

plus you should be dodging 95%+ of attacks as it is

so either way its negligible

[shadow sundial]

How are you getting dodge to 95?

Oh wait you mean dash dodging

[rugged island]

yeah i mean moving out of the red AOE zones lmao

skill issue

excellent news

i am now the owner of all 3 volumes of the lusty orc handyman

[eager ridge]

depends on build

i had an armored knight with like 5 life on hit with insane attack speed and i sat under baron and smacked away at him while tanking every mechanic

[warped wren]

ay how'd you get that Cat aspect?

how do you unlock it?

[vagrant topaz]

Die 9 Times

[warped wren]

wow, really

that's so stupid

[vagrant topaz]

Cat has 9 lifes ^^

[eternal sky]

[warped wren]

I just have Kront's Earthquake aspect, Avoron's Cat aspect, and Nixxi's Grasshopper aspect left to unlock

and the Ghost Matter achievement which just seems fucking impossible

[eternal sky]

ive had my fun sofar with deathmustdie

guess ill wait till next big patch

soulstone surv has some stuff for me to do tho since last i played

[rugged island]

this is the worst item ive ever seen

even less armor than belt of bob

[eager ridge]

yea got that for warrior

which works great on warrior cause of the status proc perk

[eternal sky]

wait thats a fucking disgusting wep

[copper pawn]

is the loot variety of this game good? compared to full fledged arpg

[eternal sky]

its pgood

baseline you want alot of banishes and alterations tho

same with rerolls

soo having items with multiple rerolls op

[warped wren]

compared to an ARPG? no way lol

but otherwise good within its own system

it's basically big numbers + big roll dice = good

[placid yarrow]

For the type of game it is it's pretty damn good

[warped wren]

yeah

[placid yarrow]

I wouldn't really classify it as an arpg personally

[copper pawn]

yeah no I don't mean to call it arpg, just see how much of loot variety compared to arpg

[faint mauve]

definitely takes alot of inspiration from it at least

[rugged island]

i still think rogue genesia is better after spending a handful of hours in death must die

just lacks the content

[faint mauve]

im still playing vamp survivors on my mobile and everything else feels samey

[tawny sand]

i still go back to vamp survivors, it's just a classic

dopamine rush for sure

[eager ridge]

GD just dropped a fat fucking update, and its 60% off for the base game at $10

https://store.steampowered.com/app/219990/Grim_Dawn/

[hardy crane]

mmmm

[faint mauve]

its one of those mobile kinda indie genres where copycats spawn making small changes to the formula i guess

[shadow sundial]

that is... a lot of crit... projectiles... piercing... oh my

[rugged island]

8 missile lol wtf

[warped wren]

Merris attack build

[rugged island]

you using the seeking projectiles bonus?

[shadow sundial]

i just shotgunned Drac in about 3 hits

no, i am forever married to the infinite pull range perk ❤️

[warped wren]

[rugged island]

my thermal paste replacement seems to have fixed my gpu crashes

thats the weirdest fix of my life tbh

[shadow sundial]

who needs seeking projectiles when you're just roaming around and everything dies?

[rugged island]

base 58% luck chance 30% cast speed 50% spell damage Skadi build

time to spam ALL the on-hit spells

[shadow sundial]

Drac dropped me 5 mythics there too 🙂

[warped wren]

I found this pair of booties that have +48% luck and nothing else

[rugged island]

the 2 armor ones?

ya

[warped wren]

Gonna try them on Nixxi's luck aspect tomorrow

[rugged island]

Look at my missile velocity lmao

it's too bad that Range and Missile Velocity are seperate stats... faster missiles dont make you have more range, kinda useless

in vamp survivors its the same stat

and most other games in this genre its the same stat

[copper pawn]

for 1 sec there I almost thought LE

[placid yarrow]

What kinda filling is that?

[ember lake]

🤩

[desert jasper]

Man, I should bake some bread or such during the weekend

[eager ridge]

So the undead skill, i think called Soulstealer where you have a chance on attack to summon homing phantasms that do enemy % health damage
The skill has a spell tag and summon tag, but does it get anything damage wise from either? Or is it just always flat % health

Because i was messing with that and found out it works on bosses

I was trying out the merris infinite pull on difficulty 30, but having only 1 dash was making twin gargoyles a nightmare, until i grabbed soulstealers and proceeded to drop them in less than 5 seconds

[warped wren]

omfgggggggggg

can I finally attempt Ghost Matter now

[eager ridge]

i kinda wish there were a way to target farm specific unique pieces of gear

though i guess you sorta kinda can, theres a gear type that increases mythic item drop rate, and then you can find the leprechaun for more item drops

[rugged island]

ghost matter seems impossible even with 50%+ evade, justice god, and playing merris

[warped wren]

Yeah I tried 0 darkness with Merris, Ice, Justice and Krom knockbacks

No dice

Maybe summons are the answer, as always

[rugged island]

theres no way

they react too slow

even with crows, skeletons, and 2 dragons, I dont see how that works

maybe im wrong lol but im stuck on this one too

[warped wren]

Thought of using them more as a shield

Because you can dodge / avoid / CC almost everything else, but the shotgun projectiles of the Necromancer, Dracula, and the speedy bitch attacks

In fact even the speedy bitch attacks can be managed if you have Ice + Krom going

[rugged island]

But minions dont block in this game and dont have health

how would it work

I agree that Frost has to be a part of the strat tho. The ice zone summons are too good of CC to pass up

and divine shield is needed

You think the blood guy or the undead girl is better?

[warped wren]

By killing Drac / Necro as soon as they spawn

[rugged island]

Ah

[warped wren]

I think Ice+Mort+Justice might be the play

You give up the scaling summon damage from Time but you have Divine Shield in place to take a hit

[rugged island]

Time guy instead of ice girl would have a lot more dps

but no CC

yeah

Divine shield is too good for this challenge. and the legendary from Divine is good if you can get lucky enough to grab it

not much else is useful sadly

need lots of alteration dice

to not waste points

[warped wren]

I have like 7 or 8 I think

[rugged island]

thats good

probably use them to reroll out of divine

i'd reset the run to get the right gods and save the dice

[hasty grail]

good rec on death must die - pretty addicting lol

[warped wren]

dude I'm so madge

look at this

I was hitless throughout the run, but the LAST spawn of the whole screen of skellies scored two hits

FUCK

everything else was hitless

I think next time I'm gonna get Justice Dash instead of Winter Dash

but Summoner Merris with Ice, Justice, Mort is IMO the best possible strat to attempt Ghost Matter

I got so close man FUCK

[warped wren]

run carrying boon

we did it boys

[warped wren]

this thing basically let me cheese the final mass skelly wave without being in any danger of being hit

[unique ore]

what game is this?

[vagrant topaz]

Death Must Die

[unique ore]

aaaaaah ok

[misty venture]

Ended up snagging the ultimate edition of remnant 2 while its on sale. Only played for a couple of hours so far but man I've never had so much random crap happen within a short time span in a video game before. Game is awesome so far tho really enjoyed my time so far.

[warped wren]

It's a damn good game yeah

[unique ore]

that game has been on my wishlist haha...looked very good

armored core 6 too looked so damn nuts

[misty venture]

It's been alot of fun not even gonna lie even getting my ass handed to me a couple of times still having a blast. I can honestly say I've gotten the 33.60 worth that I paid if it keeps this up

[warped wren]

AC6 is way too soulslike for my scrubness

[unique ore]

see i remember playing old school mech games back in the day...so seeing a fast paces customizable one just makes me happy haha

[misty venture]

Can honestly say I've never played a armored core game but 6 definitely has my interest along with palworld because I mean pokemon with guns sign me up

[unique ore]

i think i played like 1 or 2 back in the day but cant remember...and omg palworld seems so god damn funny xD!

[misty venture]

Lol just gotta make it to January then it will finally come out in early access I'm so hyped.

[unique ore]

yah xD lol...its either gonna be fun as hell, or just complete ass i feel

[misty venture]

It could go ethier way lol but they did a closed beta for a select amount of people earlier this month and the reception was mostl positive. But guess we will find out soon enough lol

[unique ore]

yah haha...i just feel like a game like palworld its just not gonna have a middle ground on the spectrum of good/bad hahaha

[faint mauve]

AC1 and 2 was pretty average back in the day ...

[unique ore]

im hoping it is amazing...shit is so funny

[faint mauve]

mechwarrior 2 is still peak

[stable shore]

i'm bored of reaper

in ff14

i'll go back to being a samurai andy

[unique ore]

god i know ff14 is such a good game...love the every class in one character thing...but man i couldnt get into it

combat felt so slow

[stable shore]

that makes sense

because class progession is dogshit

you won't actually feel like playing something cool until level 50 minimum

if you are lucky that is

some build feels empty up to 70

until level 50 you'll have like 3 or 4 skills if lucky

[unique ore]

i think the biggest factor was the longer GCD too that got me

[simple needle]

One of the many games I wish I can get into

[unique ore]

i legit couldnt get passed lvl 40

[stable shore]

some class diminish it

ninja is pretty high aps so that would be fun for you

but it's boring as hell before level 50

then at level 50 you start actually having fun skills

anyway reaper is too slow and boring

i'll pass

[unique ore]

see and thats the problem lol...its such slow combat compared to every other MMO out there with the higher GCD...you gotta get near max level before you can start having combat feel normal xD

[stable shore]

basically

i'd say from level 50 you have fun class

samurai is okay at level 50 and has a lower gcd

also keep in mind there are off gcd skills

so some gameplay can end up a bit spammy like samurai

[unique ore]

yah but you dont get into that typically until like 50+ from what im told

xD

which is what makes combat feel more "normal" to other MMOs

haha

[stable shore]

yep

but the story is so freaking good, so that balance it imo

it's tolerable to grind up to 50 thanks to that

[unique ore]

also didnt help i first tried making a paladin to begin with because i mained tanks back then

see i liked the story but it didnt make up the bleh combat for me...it almost did haha

[stable shore]

yeah overall the class progression needs to be heavily reworked

rn it's horrendous

[unique ore]

like if they had made the GCD normal to other games, and fixed the progression slightly

it could have killed wow imo

coming from a wow nerd

[near hedge]

lol that didnt last long

[stable shore]

yeah it looks cool but that's all there is to it

first, keeping the 10% dmg buff up is annoying

because i'm autistic and always forget about it

second, it's too slow. a faster gcd would make it fine

and lastly it's too braindead

[near hedge]

skill speed lowers your gcd, but unforunately if you get it too fast you end up 1 or 2 gcd ahead of everyone else, rip goes the 2 min meta

[stable shore]

yeah, fuck that honestly

[near hedge]

if they rework the job progression, and nuke the 2 min meta. they could do so much with the classes

[stable shore]

samurai has off gcd skills you can use really often and a big flashy attack

[near hedge]

luckily sam does its own thing and completely ignores the 2 min meta. so you can speed yourself up decently enough

[stable shore]

yup

i'm unlocking my level 70 samurai ability rn

it does a shit ton of damage apparently

500 potency

also it's an aoe

[faint mauve]

damage dont matter lul

i did the castrum bozja raid yesterday.... by far the most interesting raid i ever done haha

dunno why ffxiv never implemented more dungeons/raids like that

[eager ridge]

I had the opposite take on this, mechwarrior was my jam and armored core 6 bored me

[eager ridge]

You just summed up why you dont enjoy ff14 right here

because thats also me

Being a fury warrior main since vanilla, and then trying ff14 where all the big weapon plate wearin badass are forced tank roles irritated the shit out of me

So i paid for a campaign skip, geared my warrior as a dps, never used tank stance, and strictly played pvp

And you know what? i owned bitches and that was enjoyable for a good 50-60 hours

[unique ore]

i mean tbf it isnt just because wow xD...like almost every MMO has the same like 1.5 second GCD and ff14 is 2s iirc (or its 1 and 1.5)

[eager ridge]

Yea ff14 is slow af

I also build my character as a theme for the class i play, and having a character be all classes doesnt work for me

[unique ore]

see i do that too...but also as an altoholic...i loved only needing 1 char xD!

[near hedge]

the altaholic in ff14 is kind of a trap tbh. you can only actually gear out one role, which is the biggest let down. why bother having everything on one character, if you have to level multiple characters anyways to gear out two roles a raid tier

[unique ore]

oh no shit? why cant you gear out multiple roles?

[near hedge]

you can only get 450 tomes a week. its 2 weeks for chest, and another 2 weeks for pants. then its 1 week for all the other items. youre also locked into how many raid pieces you can get. and you can only get 1 piece from the alliance raid a week.

savage also comes out 1 or 2 weeks behind normal, i cant remember exactly. technically you could get more roles geared out if your in a static and clearing each raid mutliple times a week, but thats not really feasible for the mass majority of players

[faint mauve]

yeah progression is very different to the time gated end game

you may not enjoy the design once you get there

still i think its optimal to have one 90 per class role if you want more materia/gil rewards in roulette

and also variety

[near hedge]

the alliance raid is also only a catchup mechanic, that comes out on the back half of the raid tier, so its not like that gives you another piece to go for during the actual tier.
if youre rich and can afford the 640 gear, then you can get your other classes geared up enough to do the savage, but theyre not gonna be bis or anything. this was also the first tier where the relic was basically free, but thats still a little behind bis until later in the tier

[near hedge]

ye definitely. plus theres plenty of other content to do in the game, and you dont need raid gear to do any of it. so its not like not having bis gates your alts from doing anything in the game

[faint mauve]

thats why

savage raiding isnt that hard

its also a total gil sink

if your not efficient in prepping

[tawny sand]

speaking of wow, i've been levelling a shaman now that i got a warlock to 70 (shaman is my favorite though) and I did some legion dungeon where the last boss turns invisible right? I asked what are we supposed to do, no answer cause i guess nobody knew, and we wiped once and everyone left. I looked up how to do it and it's easy

[faint mauve]

with the macro/youtube meta in raiding alot of the discovery and fun is spoiled

[tawny sand]

people just don't want to be hassled i guess

[faint mauve]

any ilvl gear you have is miniscule in terms of damage because its always leveraged against an entire team

and on duty roulettes its gonna be scaled down to its max ilvl anyway

its just a gear threadmill that quickly gets outdated and obsolete. while there are other end game grinds that lead to stuff worth millions of gil

[near hedge]

thats one thing i like about ff14. like 90% of the playerbase is willing to explain to you wtf is going on, and is completely noob friendly

[tawny sand]

i don't feel that was true last time i played, and the one time someone did explain it they gave bad directions lol

[near hedge]

well tbh, most people are also just bad at explaining lol. but at least theyre willing to try

[tawny sand]

but the wow pug didn't even say "don't know" so i could've looked it up for them, it wouldn't have bothered me to help

[near hedge]

plus theres a metric fuck ton of dipshits lol

well notso dipshits, just uneducated, since ilvl pushes you through the content, and you can skip most mechanics by just out dpsing it

[faint mauve]

yeah

i joined a static which did ARR/HW savage raid synced

[near hedge]

like levi for instances. little to no one actually knows wtf is going on,

[faint mauve]

which was fun but not much point to do other than challenge

[near hedge]

ye im looking forward to going through and redoing all of that content, once my girlfriend finishes endwalker

its been years since ive done it all, so i highly doubt i remember any of it

[tawny sand]

i remember when crystal tower first came out, they were pretty fun then

[near hedge]

lol i remember when wod was a gaurenteed wipe every time you queued up for it

hsw balance was so fucking dogshit, i love it

[tawny sand]

lol

i was there before they nerfed coincounter in uh, what's the name of that dungeon

[faint mauve]

bozja critical engagements are awesome

the raid is awesome too

[near hedge]

never did bozja

[faint mauve]

you have to split up 3 - 4 ways

each team fights a boss and all bosses need to die at the same time

[near hedge]

didnt care for eureka and just quit the content and never went back

[faint mauve]

and you have to manually arrange the teams yourself

each encounter completed gives you more loot, like treasure that is only for yourself

so no one needs to roll a number

really interesting raid interactions that ffxiv doesnt do elsewhere

[near hedge]

doesnt it have its own gear tied to it?

thought it had some set that was special to that content. not exactly like deep dungeon, but something similar

[faint mauve]

yeah eureka more than bozja

both are good and im glad they are quite different from one another

it could look better and more polished but its a place i can drop down on and just kill mobs for hours for loot like an old MMO

[hardy crane]

finally got to the necromancer for the first time

lol

had lots of healing but so low damage I was eventually overwhelemed

[simple needle]

Worst thing about necromancer is his shotgun , time your weaves of attack to destroy the projectile before going in for few hits. If you're ranged it's easier

Some form of aoe clears those ADS quick

[hardy crane]

Ya I was ranged, I was widdling him down easy enough, it's all the other mobs that I couldn't kill fast enough that finally got me

Also the first time I saw the blue slimes but I made it past them haha

I think Merris is def my fav

[stable shore]

rate my UI

[narrow token]

https://tenor.com/view/meh-the-simpsons-couch-whatever-gif-25776096

[near hedge]

your ui gives me a headache

why no simple job gauge

[hardy crane]

oh man I killed the necromancer but wasn't able to pick up his purple loot before I died LOL

RIP

[stable shore]

what is that

well i wish i knew that sooner

what can i improve ?

[near hedge]

heres how i do my hud. but i have my hud macro'd like crazy. the cross hotbar is where i keep all the random bullshit. each icon below it sorts the stuff out into different categories. then the two x's in the middle section hide parts of it. so can show just my combat stuff, or i can hide everything. so whenever im raiding or something all i see is the party menu and my cooldowns, and i have them sorted from lowest cooldown, going down to shortest cooldown

[stable shore]

actually that's a good idea

i'll litteraly copy you

[near hedge]

so in combat this is all i see

i'll post my macros for it if you want. its pretty simple

i sort the three boxes or whatever into however the rotation flows. so the normal rotation is the first box. aoe and a few cooldowns in the second. then the bullshit job role actions and cooldowns i barely use go into the third box. so that way all im doing his using like three buttons. and i saw you had the same mouse as i do, so you can totally bind the mouse keys for alt, shift, control so you can do the different rows

[eager ridge]

me casually sitting in his face with knight and facetanking all the shots while i heal from smackin him upside the head

[simple needle]

That's when you're too broken it doesn't even matter

[eager ridge]

thats my knight at all times

its my most geared class

[simple needle]

Muffins only got blue gear , give em a break

[eager ridge]

so far ive beaten difficulty 30 with avoron, merris, and skadi, still need to do kront and nixi

muffins?

who?

oh up there

im not even talking about that

just talking about facetanking necro shotgun

ive tried to do normal build builds on my avoron, but nothing compares to just running high legendary/master % on as many pieces as i can

and then you get the time random boon on level up buff, and it just floods you with master/legendary spells

[stable shore]

is it a good place to put target ?

it's the highlighted one

i think that's way better now

i put buff bar at the bottom of hp bar, and debuff at the bottom of pm bar

now i'll make map and quest bar hide in fight

and i should be gucci

[hardy crane]

finally beat necromancer and on the same run made it all the way to Dracula lol

got him to 50% before I died

[stable shore]

nice job

[hardy crane]

I got a master level shurken and some power that gave me multiple proj + pierce

the waves of slimes just got DELETED

lol

[near hedge]

i put my target directly over my characters head. imo thats the easiest spot for visibility that doesnt cause issues. then i put the focus target directly to the right of it

i dont like looking all over the screen personally. thats why i put everything directly next to my character

[stable shore]

that's what i try to do too

once i have more skills, i think i'll seperate single target and aoe skills

for samurai it works i think because you don't use aoe skills for single target

[near hedge]

for me, ive hid all that shit. hell i wish i could hide the job gauge all together on some classes. the party menu gives you all the information you need to know

[stable shore]

hum i don't know enough my class to hide job gauge yet

maybe in the future

[near hedge]

unfortunately you cant hide the job gauge at all

simple gauge is as close as it comes

[stable shore]

i prefer keeping those up

[near hedge]

some jobs its actually important. but for the healers its mostly useless

[stable shore]

party menu is enough for debuff

but for samurai i do need the job gauge and buff

at least for kenki

oh, does debuff on target is tied to target

cuz i must keep a 1min dot up

[near hedge]

yeee. it shows up right under their health bar

if i remember right the made it so yours is always the first one

[stable shore]

nice

i'm rather autistic so even a 1min dot i can easily forget to reapply it if i'm not carefull

so i need it under my eyes

[near hedge]

lol thats how i am a lot of the times

i zone out dpsing on healer and totally forget about it

can only focus on pressing 1 button over and over for so long lol

[stable shore]

Hum those mistakes are fine for now no ?

It will only matter for savage raids

And until then i have time to master samurai

[near hedge]

yeah it only matters for savage raiding, and even then it only matter for dps checks. as long as someones not using act, theyll never know how good youre doing anyways

[stable shore]

Is there a way to track cooldown and debuff duration and set an alert when it's ready in 3sec or ending in 3sec ?

[near hedge]

ive had times where i out dps someone on a healer throughout the entire dungeon/ raid, and we still beat it perfectly fine

[near hedge]

not outside of act

[tawny sand]

is there something like weakauras for ffxiv? or would that get you banned

[stable shore]

What's act

[near hedge]

advanced combat tracker

[stable shore]

Sounds like something i should download

Okay i desperately need that

[near hedge]

hang on i gotchu

https://github.com/FFXIV-ACT/setup-guide

[stable shore]

I need the 1min dot to take half the screen for me to not miss it

Thanks !

I have 3 things i need to track

[near hedge]

i havnt used it since i switched to linux, so i dont remember exactly, but im pretty cactbot is the one youre looking for

[stable shore]

The dot, the 2min cd 50 insta kenki, and the 30sec samurai burst

[near hedge]

all the plugins should be directly build into it

however, something to be warned about. it is against tos in this game, and you will get banned if you go around talking about it in game

[stable shore]

Ah

Then i'll refrain from using it lmao

[eager ridge]

is that the dps meter?

[stable shore]

There are parameters for cooldown display right ?

[near hedge]

this aint like wow where addons are fine and dandy. square is highly against it. but their anticheat is fucking dogshit. and you wont actually get banned for using it unless you make an oopla about it

[simple needle]

Degeneracy is happening in general when server is down

[stable shore]

Maybe i can make it more obvious

[eager ridge]

if you're just testing your own dps so you can choose the best gear option or your rotation, then by all means use it

[simple needle]

Sadeg

[near hedge]

ye

[eager ridge]

loads of people use it, just dont get wow elitist and deny people entry to a raid of their dps is shit

[stable shore]

I'll do like quin69, "i have pob in my head chat"

[near hedge]

^ pretty much. just stfu about it and mind your own buisness, and youll be fine

[eager ridge]

they just dont want you denying people because you saw their dps was shit from the meter addon

[simple needle]

classic god gamer excuse

[eager ridge]

if you use it for personal use, thats all fine n dandy

[stable shore]

I think it's good tbh

I hate dps meter pressure personally

[eager ridge]

some people just want a dps meter to whack on a training dummy and test different pieces of gear and their rotation

[tawny sand]

i don't use a dps meter in wow, but i'm bad so. But i hate what it's done to the community

[near hedge]

you wont see that, unless youre in some elitist guild

[tawny sand]

same with people kicking out others for low ilvl

[stable shore]

I impose it to myself lmao

Can't help but compete for dps meter and it ruins my fun

[near hedge]

i used act for years and never got flagged or anything. lol youre perfectly safe to use it. hell even dalmod or however its spelled is highly against tos, but the second you touch the rp community, or any of the in game venues its everywhere

[stable shore]

I will use it to min max on dummy

But then disable it in raid for my own good lmao

[stable shore]

"Holy shiet chat, it's been 30 minutes and the boss isn't dead. This tutorial EoW feels like an uber"

Classic

[simple needle]

I have zdps but I have infinite amount of eHP chat

[near hedge]

lol the world first top clear was using the zoom out plugin for act, and yoship came out and dropped a statement on it, and was like yall are trash at the game, and highly disappointing, and went on about how much square hates the plugins. it was a huge meme there for awhile

[stable shore]

"Don't worry chat, this alt quality gem that will take me 60h to get is gonna make me go from 100k dps to uber viable"

[tawny sand]

didn't they take away world first for some guild when that happened?

[simple needle]

I kinda wish he doesn't go hardcore

[stable shore]

It has nothing to do with being bad at the game. When you want to min max your gp, ultimately you need those alert because you can't play flawlessly without them on several hours session

[near hedge]

they banned the guy in the video, took away all the loot and achievements from everyone else

[stable shore]

So how is it safe to use it ?

[near hedge]

i mean theres a difference between using act to track dps. and using a zoom out cheat while a group of viewers analyze your footage, to trivialize the fight.

[stable shore]

Oh, right

[stable shore]

He never tried ssf sc, and i bet it would be fun as hell

He could go with the most cooked shit and burn the kitchen and beat ubers

[simple needle]

He's gonna make his own rules and ethics so he has power over his own domain

[near hedge]

perfectly safe as long as you dont bitch at someone in chat for having trash dps, and even then you get banned for harassment, not the actual plugin. their anticheat is practically nonexistent

[simple needle]

That's my streamer

[stable shore]

It's what his best friend say

[simple needle]

Tbf , I think everyone notices this with him in every single game he plays

Which can be funny but frustrating

[stable shore]

he would be happier in streams if he dropped the god gamer persona

[near hedge]

but he is a god gamer

[stable shore]

in poe he is in a constant cycle of playing the most op shit (jugg), building it wrong and miserably fail

[simple needle]

If the way he choose to play isn't optimal or fun, but the fake challenges he creates for himself makes him mad, he's gonna rate it F tier videogame

[stable shore]

even infernal blow could beat ssf hc ubers as a jugg if he built it right

[stable shore]

remember ff14 venture

paid a boost

got carried

[simple needle]

Lmfao he rate it bad recently lmfa

[stable shore]

spent all his time in raids wiping the floor with his corpse

"game bad"

[simple needle]

He blamed it on the toxic community

[stable shore]

to be fair the community was a bit toxic

[near hedge]

lol didnt he rate it as dog shit tier or something

[stable shore]

it's the kind of community that's overprotective with their fav game

[simple needle]

That's the worst thing about ff14

Full of people that's sitting on a high horse

[stable shore]

yeah but to be fair, quin absolutely did not give it a fair review

[near hedge]

yeah i think if he didnt stream it he would have had an entirely different opinion on the game

[stable shore]

it was pure slander based on a refusal to actually play the game properly

[near hedge]

ff14 is 100% a toxic casual game

[stable shore]

also he hated the weeb aspect of it, especially lalafelle

i hate them too ngl

[near hedge]

i find them disgusting personally

[stable shore]

me too

[tawny sand]

i played lalafell warrior lmao

[stable shore]

i don't say it out loud because there are sadly too many lalafell fans

[near hedge]

well moreso, when people give them half naked glams

[tawny sand]

oh yeah that's gross

[near hedge]

lol i made a lala as a meme for like 20 minutes and felt gross and sidelined the character

[stable shore]

also, when they make any important npc a lalafell, it instantly ruins it for me

[near hedge]

i think lala's have a place in the msq

like the whole lolirito storyline was really well done

and i like tataru and krile

like they can be done well, its just people being gross about it

[stable shore]

i agree

the issue are people picking them because they like it

they are the one making it weird

[near hedge]

i mean theyre cute chibi. but it needs to be treated like a cutse childlike race. its whenever they try to pass it off like lolicon thats disgusting

[stable shore]

as a side note, i can't take any warrior lalafell seriously

you see how pipin looks like ? (rauhban's son)

[near hedge]

lol goofy af

[stable shore]

bro is a sponge, he has 0 muscle

[tawny sand]

it was goofy, that's why i played it

[stable shore]

i think i could 1v1 him irl

[tawny sand]

was fun

[near hedge]

theyre obnoxious af in pvp

[eager ridge]

https://youtu.be/cuqOSYqFhTg

[near hedge]

oh shit

[stable shore]

in lore it makes no sense how they even compete with other races

shouldn't natural selection basically wipe them out ?

[near hedge]

its the power of friendship and magic

together we can achieve anything uwu :3

[stable shore]

bro i laugh my ass off when i see a lalafell walking

they can't even do that properly

[near hedge]

the waddling makes me cringe

[stable shore]

as far as i know they have no advantage that compensate for their physique

[stable shore]

i can't take nanamo seriously because of that

i hear her saying cool stuff, being a good leader and stuff and then she walks away and everything crumbles

[shadow sundial]

hey, uh, so... Soulstone Survivors peeps... i just started playing. this was like my third attempt. is it supposed to be this easy to scale this powerful? i made it through 5 full arenas in the infinite-portal thing

[near hedge]

i 100% used to think raubahn and her were a thing

[eager ridge]

yes

soulstone has a lot to it

including difficulty modifiers

it scales endlessly if you go for that

you can have like 20 bosses on screen at once

[stable shore]

nah he has too much respect for her

to ever engage in a relationship with her

[near hedge]

lol well i see that now

[stable shore]

what are the confirmed ship in this game ?

i can't remember of any

[near hedge]

alise and alphinaud

[stable shore]

alise ? that's her sister no ?

[eager ridge]

soulstone and holocure still remain my top 2 games of its genre for how indepth you can get/make a build

[shadow sundial]

i saw that. i enabled the four T1 curses and then went for it on my newly unlocked spellblade. shit just scales to insanity

[near hedge]

lol no. but minfillia and thancred are the only too i can really think of. but i think that one is a little one sided. ;-;

[near hedge]

alphinaud is a dude, ma guy

[stable shore]

i'm aware

but who is alise

oh i misswrote, i typed her

[tawny sand]

i thought alise was alphinaud's sister too

[near hedge]

alisae. i cant remember how to spell it

[eager ridge]

i just bought these 4, i'll try em at work later

[stable shore]

alisaie ?

[near hedge]

but yes. they are fraternal twins

[eager ridge]

twins?

[near hedge]

yeah theyre twins

[stable shore]

is there even a one sided ship between thancred and minfilia ?

[near hedge]

oh youll see

thancred said he just felt like he owned her his life

and didn't actually love her that way

[near hedge]

[stable shore]

but imo he was coping

twins

[near hedge]

lol

[stable shore]

too bad our character can't ship one of the main npcs

that would be peak gaming

[near hedge]

theres another one sided ship, but idk how far in you are. its in shadowbringers

dude simps so so so hard

[stable shore]

is it emanellin ?

[near hedge]

nah

i mean him too, but he got shot down instantly, and its never touched again

[stable shore]

i believe in him, it will happen

[near hedge]

may halone guide him

[stable shore]

by the way i finished the yotsuyu arc

i feel bad for her

i think she deserved a redemption

[near hedge]

i mean she was doomed the second she got her memories back

[stable shore]

her losing memory showed before her parents and brother destroy her mentally, she was an angel

[near hedge]

her brother was a fucking cunt for that one

[stable shore]

not nescesseraly, i still believed

her ending was sweet at least

when our character said "goesetsu will cry you"

[near hedge]

bittersweet

i forgot which one i chose for that

[stable shore]

gosetsu will cry you seemed to be the sweetest answer

it's the last thing she heard

[near hedge]

idk, she was still a pos imo

i dont think she gets a pass for what she did during the time she lost her memories, since she wasnt actually herself during that period

[stable shore]

she doesn't get a pass no

but what i think is her memory loss phase is what she would be like if her parents treated her well

[near hedge]

maybe. its hard to tell honestly

[stable shore]

yeah, she is definitely guilty of what she did

but it's hard to blame her for everything

also now edilibus stole zenos body

does that makes him stronger than zenos though ? i know edilibus has cracked power but zenos beyond his body was insanely talented in fighting

[near hedge]

idk, i dont think someones past excuses the actions they did in the present by any means. like yeah she was emotionally abused, which stunted her empathy, but she still genocided them all. so fuck em.

[near hedge]

oh youll see

[stable shore]

i guess the game will treat it as "edilibus + zenos = stronger"

[near hedge]

this is where shit starts to get good again

[stable shore]

but logically zenos body shouldn't do anything for him

aside of making him tankier

he doesn't fight melee

[near hedge]

lol man i really wanna say something, but im not gonna spoil anything

[stable shore]

i hope zenos will take over his body lmao

litteraly beating both death and edilibus

sounds like something he could do

either way so far zenos is by far the strongest entity we defeated

he could likely 1v1 omega right ?

[near hedge]

id give that to omgea tbh

[stable shore]

well omega = shinryu right ?

and zenos basically submitted shinryu

[near hedge]

idk, cuss omega beat shinrayuu or whatever. and zenos pre that, was strong but not like god like. but once he absorbed the power of shinryu he was practically a god

[stable shore]

hum fair

i'd say zenos is 90% as strong omega

[near hedge]

theres a few people in shadowbringers that are objectively stronger, and then endwalker is a whole nother story

[stable shore]

is there canonically an npc stronger than our end of endsinger character ?

[near hedge]

basically no

[stable shore]

canonically, every raid we do are considered a solo fight right ?

[near hedge]

nah

[stable shore]

but that kinda makes no sense no ?

[near hedge]

canonically we summon the other fragmented parts of our souls for some fights, and then other theres help from other adventures

then some have help from the other scions

i can only think of like 2 or 3 fights that would be truly solo

[stable shore]

i'm kinda sad zenos duel wasn't solo

at least the pre shinryu fight

[near hedge]

idk i dont mind it too much honestly

[stable shore]

i met solus

that guy is gonna cause a lot of troubles

[near hedge]

hes the best

[stable shore]

he does sounds like the goat

[near hedge]

theres a reason everyone cosplays as him. i think youll like him a lot

[stable shore]

the royal family of garlemald seems good at breeding psychos

so far he seems like he will be way way more psycho than zenos

varis is kinda whatever and boring

[near hedge]

varis is lame af

[tawny sand]

i was skeptical of grim dawn's evade at first, but it's done pretty well tbh

been playing the new update

it's better than d4's honestly

[faint mauve]

i played abit but can wait til expansion / next grim league season

[tawny sand]

yeah i'm just dabbling

i picked up age of empires 4 during the steam sale so just waiting for that to download on my slow ass internet

[near hedge]

aoe4 is goated

way better than 2 imo. wish i could afford the new dlc right now

[tawny sand]

i have a hard time multitasking so rts games i generally tend to shy away from, but wanted to give it a shot anyway

[near hedge]

luckily its way less micro intensive

no quick walling, dodging arrows. mango splits. also got rid of the convert for monks. the combats pretty streamlined in this one, and its just a simple rock paper scissors design. without factoring upgrades obviously

plus dark age is was more streamlined. so none of the bullshit boar micro and using 30 sheeps to scout

[tawny sand]

ah, i never really got into aoe2 either tbh so i wouldn't know

the only rts games i really played as a kid was Rise of Nations and Stronghold 1

and i only did singleplayer, i wasn't very good lmao

[near hedge]

ahhh lol. aoe2 was my childhood, and played a ton of voobly back in the day

but aoe4. is so much easier for my slow old ass

[tawny sand]

that's good to know, i found a pretty good video on just walking through the steps of multitasking so i'm gonna give it a whirl. maybe i'll do pvp idk

but it was like "start out just bouncing between your scout and base at the start, then work on economy, etc."

[near hedge]

i mostly just do bot maps and shit as well. some of the people online are cracked out

[tawny sand]

ya i bet

[near hedge]

lol im not good enough for that shit.

[tawny sand]

unfortunately the new stronghold definitive edition doesn't have ai skirmishes, real shame

i'd play that if it did

i'm also eyeing star wars empire at war cause i hear the conquest mode is really fun

[near hedge]

id recommend just reading through whatever civs you like, then watching one of beasty's build order guides, and just practicing that for a few games. after that youll be perfectly fine

the ai is braindead in this game and even i can beat a couple on hard

[stable shore]

can you disable attack tooltip when mousing over ?

nevermind i found the info

[near hedge]

stop being a clicker

[stable shore]

i genuinely don't know how to efficiently play with keyboard

everytime i try in a mmo idk how to do it

[tawny sand]

hotkeys? You just have to get used to doing it

[stable shore]

but how do you not move you hands
