avrora-general

[magic moon]

well, sure, but it bleeds into everything if you let it.

[ornate mantle]

Games can have it if they want imo... Shitty games die, it's just a fact.

[magic moon]

It came pretty close to ruining Diablo 3, for example - WOULD have if Blizzard didn't basically redo the model from scratch a year after launch.

[stuck copper]

indirectly

[magic moon]

Sure, but part of that is refusing to buy the shitty games ;p

[stuck copper]

the auction house itself was not the issue. the issue was the game's design, which was deliberately shitty to facilitate use of the auction house

[ornate mantle]

Yes. Don't buy Shitty games.

An incredible concept.

[grand dew]

Nah i need my yearly dosage of CoD with gacha box in it

[ornate mantle]

Because the more sales plummet, the more we see changes in the game model.

[stuck copper]

so you ended up playing a game that stopped rewarding you just to get you to buy items from other players

[magic moon]

Cal, well, that's basically the point, no? I mean, I've played games that were plenty fun despite having some gacha thing in the background. (AC Odyssey is a good example there)

[stuck copper]

well, yeah

it was just inaccurate. is all.

[magic moon]

and yeah, but "don't buy shitty games" means "don't buy games until they're out for a bit so people can report on the shit factor"

[stuck copper]

had they made a perfectly fine game and put an auction house in it, most people wouldnt have taken issue, i think

[magic moon]

I basically don't preorder anything anymore

[grand dew]

AC odyssey .. i just Dled a patch to have everything in shop obtained for free

cuz fk ubi/EA

[stuck copper]

after all, player trading has always been a big thing, and people were buying items from each other anyway

so at the end of the day, the auction house merely made easier what had already been common practice

[magic moon]

Sure. But they weren't content with that ;p

[stuck copper]

diablo 3 was just shit in terms of tuning

really fucking shit

they didnt even test inferno before they released it

and everyone got oneshot, so they just skipped all the enemies

[magic moon]

and we can't really content ourselves with saying "hey, this is a respected game company that is going to carefully tune this stuff to keep the experience good" anymore - lots of companies are terrible about letting their loot box lust ruin their games.

So about all you can do these days is let the poor early adopters go in first and listen for the shrieks of agony

[stuck copper]

i play the games but i don't whale

it sends the right message

[grand dew]

I will just support good devs like CD red

[stuck copper]

problem is, it doesnt matter, because they still earn a ton

[magic moon]

Well, it does at the margins

like SW Battlefront basically died at launch because of the mess

[ornate mantle]

Anthem also died on launch.

[magic moon]

I do have to say I'm inherently less happy about gacha that gives you a competitive edge against other players

[stuck copper]

anthem was an unfinished piece of shit

[magic moon]

It's fair to say Anthem had other problems. But this was one of 'em, yeah

[grand dew]

Anthem

[magic moon]

and I don't mind people being real conservative with dropping money on a game that has systems in there that -might- be exploitative.

[grand dew]

[stuck copper]

the fact that anthem even exists is mind-boggling

[ornate mantle]

God I'm watching videos of people trying to get into Anthem on launch.

It is glorious.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpBlsFt-72Y

[grand dew]

next failed launch is google stadia

[stuck copper]

i played anthem

[ornate mantle]

Stadia is doomed to fail.

[stuck copper]

for about 30 minutes

my pc can't even run it properly, it's that bad

[magic moon]

I don't get what the appeal of Stadia even is

[grand dew]

those day 1 strimers

[solar fjord]

Played the closed alpha, mouse and keyboard didn't work there

[grand dew]

[solar fjord]

[stuck copper]

"collect glowing orbs"

truly some next-level gameplay

fucking HD mecha pac-man

man, i wanted that game to be good so bad

[magic moon]

I dunno, that actually sounds moderately awesome

[stuck copper]

open-world mecha game

that doesn't suck

maybe one day

[verbal obsidian]

have you guys ever heard of this new game called

[ornate mantle]

I was actually hyped for Anthem.

[verbal obsidian]

Azur Lane

friendly free to play action mmo, vast world building and character customization

[ornate mantle]

The E3 preview immediately set off red flags.

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

And then the actual game came and fucked the future.

[magic moon]

Hitagi, I hear that they're a bunch of degens though

[verbal obsidian]

Degens?! Never that!

[ornate mantle]

Stadia's appeal is literally "Play without needing a console".

[magic moon]

(I... actually have heard that they are in fact a bunch of degens)

(like, independent verification)

[verbal obsidian]

Wholesome, loving, caring and above all else, a honest community.

[stuck copper]

"play without a console, but you need this google box" KEKW

fucking genius

right next to

"the game might not be running at 60fps, but the video does"

[grand dew]

and fking good internet with 0 data cap

[ornate mantle]

Yeah to make Stadia possible.

[grand dew]

so you can play your new rebought game for full price

[ornate mantle]

You need THE BEST internet possible now in order to play for 3 hours.

[magic moon]

And when they pack the whole thing in a year from now, your games will go away~

and now I go away, because eating at least once a day is recommended, I hear

[warm ice]

lol Stadia.

[somber halo]

data cap on brain is lame

[ornate mantle]

Jokes on you... no brain to put a cap on.

[oblique mantle]

What the office feels like in arknights for morale

[stuck copper]

h e a d p a t s

[ornate mantle]

Oh man that gave me a good laugh.

Any game with PVP bores me.

[oblique mantle]

So almost all of them .

[warm bluff]

I hope these don't drop

Ptilopsis or warfarin

[flat palm]

oh good luck

[ornate mantle]

Pog.

Yeah GL

[warm bluff]

Is it just my confirmation bias, or do good tags usually appear with other good tags?

[flat palm]

they do yeah

[ornate mantle]

You're under the assumption I get good tags.

[solar fjord]

not wrong
not right

[flat palm]

atleast one additional

atleast for me

[warm bluff]

ya, every time i've gotten guaranteed 5*+ there were always multiple way to guarantee something

[flat palm]

i get alot of specialist, but never survival with it zzz

[ornate mantle]

The only "new" units I've ever gotten were Estelle, Castle, and the other Robot.

I've yet to get a 5* or higher.

[warm bluff]

i'm starting to think these tags aren't just a simple rng call

[ornate mantle]

What would they be then.

[warm bluff]

maybe something like use rng to generate potential stars, and then generate tags?

but usually the simple answer is the correct one so i'm guessing it's just my confirmation bias

i'm gonna start to record these tags and try to figure it out

[warm ice]

Hey Luna

I got something to show you.

[stuck copper]

i think i always see a good tag with at least another good one

that's why i'm convinced there's some shit running in the background

[warm bluff]

[warm ice]

It’s kinda l00d.

[warm bluff]

what is it?

what's episode 6 again?

[warm ice]

The one where they’re all in the bathhouse together.

[warm bluff]

[warm ice]

DMing for obvious reasons.

[warm bluff]

oh

that's uhhh

[warm ice]

It’s official.

[warm bluff]

very unexpected...

[warm ice]

I know you enjoy it.

[ornate mantle]

Show me.

[stuck copper]

unicorn tiddies

[warm bluff]

[verbal obsidian]

[warm bluff]

also why is this on youtube?

i thought this violates the tos

[warm ice]

Did you watch, Azu?

[ornate mantle]

Fantastic.

[warm bluff]

azu help me, blue tricked me into watching lewd stuff

[ornate mantle]

I'm an advocate of lewd.

[warm bluff]

oh no

[warm ice]

I watched it for Sandy and Laffey and St. Louis.

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

I saw my lovely Vestal in the bath.

I can die in peace after getting mostima now.

[warm ice]

No Portland tho, 0/10 absolute trash.

[ornate mantle]

Lusty though.

[warm bluff]

i hope nicholas didn't appear becuase lewd is bad

[ornate mantle]

Nicholas did appear.

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

In the anime.

Not this scene.

[warm bluff]

ok good, i didn't watch the whole scene since that's lewd

[ornate mantle]

Lewd is good

[warm bluff]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/514333481061449729/662811778903834654/image0.gif

[warm ice]

Accept it Luna.

Lewd is good.

[warm bluff]

i didn't watch the video

[warm ice]

I know you watched the Unicorn part.

[ornate mantle]

Man Gitano is aweome.

[warm bluff]

no i didn't!

[warm ice]

Luna stop lying.

My all seeing eye sees all.

[ornate mantle]

Such a redundant sentence.

[warm bluff]

i'm not lying

[ornate mantle]

Bring back the cool lewd luna.

[warm ice]

Bring back the Luna bully.

[ornate mantle]

YOu go away.

[warm bluff]

i was never lewd!

[ornate mantle]

I remember when you were mega lewd.

[warm ice]

Luna was lewd?

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

Ye, sent me lewds all the time.

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

Now he never sends me any.

[warm ice]

Do you have proof?

[warm bluff]

i dont have any lewds to send

because i dont look at them

[ornate mantle]

I have my DMs.

But you can't see that.

[warm ice]

Screenshots

[ornate mantle]

Sending screenshots of DMs is Illegal.

[warm ice]

Fair

But I'll take your word for it since Luna is denying it as usual.

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

LOL, I guess Rando didn't quit AK.

[solar fjord]

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

Almost at 10k points.

Pog

[lament flower]

shud give me some

[solar fjord]

10K

slacking

[somber halo]

almost 10 PR2 special prints

[warm bluff]

https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/fclfig/discussion_update_11000_recruit_tags_later/

i didn't know someone already did all this work

[solar fjord]

never seen nuker

but see a lot of summon

[warm bluff]

apparently nuker is even rarer than top op

[solar fjord]

yeah for sure

[ornate mantle]

You said you quit so to unfriend you lol.

[solar fjord]

i do see a lot of robot

[ornate mantle]

Gooooooood

I have to do D2 3 more times.

Before I can hit D3.

This is so.

Tedious.

[stuck copper]

i've had one set of rare tags. i think it was top op, sen op, and one that guaranteed mayer, all in the same roll.

on top of that, one 5* (cliffheart)

and two robots

both dropped

[warm bluff]

there's definitely something fishy going on behind the scenes

the individual probabilities dont add up, so each tag isn't independent

[stuck copper]

i'm starting to think the tags themselves are only there to obfuscate things

to make you feel like you have some control over what you get

[warm bluff]

nah you definitely do have some degree of control, but it's probably very limited

[verbal obsidian]

can u old ppl stop, im trying enjoy my games here!

[stuck copper]

don't you find it weird

[warm bluff]

i'm guessing the game generates the max stars for each recruit, then chooses the tags based on that

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

that you're getting tons of super rare tags at once

but never spread out

[warm bluff]

ya i noticed that too

[stuck copper]

the odds for that are absurdly low

[warm bluff]

i just assumed it was confirmation bias because me alone is an insufficient dataset

[stuck copper]

they determine what you get, then you can pick which turd you want, imho

[verbal obsidian]

how come u gotta call our waifus turds

[stuck copper]

motherfucker

i just got top op

[warm bluff]

[verbal obsidian]

u lucky fo

[stuck copper]

with summon

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

because of course

[ornate mantle]

Nice.

[warm bluff]

i wish i payed more attention in statistics, i'm sure there's a statistical test for this

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

Top op for sure

[verbal obsidian]

Ive gotten summon as my only rare tag before

[warm bluff]

i wish i could get defender + top op

[ornate mantle]

I’ve yet to get a rare tag other than Robot. FeelsBad

[warm bluff]

[verbal obsidian]

ive only seen top op once when i was lvl 3

[stuck copper]

i can get a guaranteed hoshi

but i dont want her

[verbal obsidian]

I havent seen anything else rare other than summon since

[stuck copper]

or 50/50 hoshi/saria

[ornate mantle]

Honestly, either would be amazing.

[stuck copper]

shit, man

i have a dps tag

2 dupes, 2 new ones

[ornate mantle]

But if you wanna get Saria, a really good chance.

[stuck copper]

what do?

[ornate mantle]

What are the new ones

[stuck copper]

i have siege and silver, and i need exu and hoshi

[warm bluff]

which 6*s do you have?

[ornate mantle]

Could always Hail Mary the top op solo.

[warm bluff]

i'd go defender + top, better get a guaranteed good character than a 50/50 dupe

[ornate mantle]

See if that gets ya anything.

Assuming you don’t need Saria?

[solar fjord]

yolo it

[stuck copper]

and i'd have to pass on a guaranteed mayer, or a 50% chance at vulcan

[ornate mantle]

Because if you don’t, Top Op + Defender is the obvious best choice.

[stuck copper]

yeah, i need both defenders

but i also need exu and vulcan

i'll do the smart thing and go defender

[ornate mantle]

Yes.

[verbal obsidian]

Go forgold

[stuck copper]

(please no hoshi lmao)

[verbal obsidian]

[warm bluff]

i barely even use my exu

[stuck copper]

i have shit snipers

still using kroos

[ornate mantle]

Go go go go

[stuck copper]

yeah, yeah

[ornate mantle]

[stuck copper]

top op, defender, 9 hours

[warm bluff]

do you have quick finishers?

[ornate mantle]

Yeah, 9 hours.

Absolute must

[stuck copper]

none dropped

[ornate mantle]

Pog

[solar fjord]

oof you tease

[stuck copper]

nice one

[ornate mantle]

Reveal to us your new Op

[stuck copper]

thanks, ina

you did something right

[warm bluff]

i did?

that's surprising

[warm bluff]

[ornate mantle]

Pog

[solar fjord]

[verbal obsidian]

Woo gratz!

Shes a cute

[warm bluff]

yay congrats!

[stuck copper]

thanks. i really needed a good tank.

[ornate mantle]

Saria is busted. So she’ll treat ya well.

[stuck copper]

bye bye croissant

[warm bluff]

croissant is so cute though

[stuck copper]

havent checked the other tags but i'm sure they aren't good

that would be absurd

[warm bluff]

there's always a chance

[solar fjord]

dropping 🥐

[verbal obsidian]

OMG TOP OP

[warm bluff]

[verbal obsidian]

haha jk

[solar fjord]

@verbal obsidian

[stuck copper]

meh

dick

i wanted to see the roll

[verbal obsidian]

[stuck copper]

[verbal obsidian]

Not sure tbh

[stuck copper]

eyja ends in 3 days

i hope it's the silverash one and they put blue poison in cert

[warm bluff]

bp is so good and cute

[solar fjord]

Next banner would be weekly reset

3 day break usually

[stuck copper]

alright

[solar fjord]

Lungmen ops

Should be

[warm bluff]

just rolled silence

should i keep rolling this banner to try for eyja?

got all the 5* rate ups already though so now idk

[solar fjord]

Up to you

[warm bluff]

[solar fjord]

Just depends if you really need her, like her or don't want any of the other units coming

Schwarz is "6 weeks" away she a cutie and good

[warm bluff]

all the other characters i want appear in cert shop at some point

[solar fjord]

[warm bluff]

although i do wanna try for sora in the next banner

[solar fjord]

Listen to the heart of the cards

[warm bluff]

[stuck copper]

i guess as long as you keep 10 rolls for sora...

[solar fjord]

I got my 10 for a chance at meteorite
Next banner

[warm bluff]

ok i'll save, eyja appears in future banners anyway

[solar fjord]

Within the next 8 yes

[stuck copper]

if you know you have a lot of pity, you can roll

[solar fjord]

You never know,might get her off banner or recruit

[warm bluff]

my pity got reset by ch'en

i kinda dont want to build it for now since i dont want to get a 6* in the next banner

[verbal obsidian]

It took all 10 rolls from eyja banner

[solar fjord]

Don't need pity to be lucky

[verbal obsidian]

[warm bluff]

[solar fjord]

Prov

[stuck copper]

at least no dupe

[warm bluff]

no

[warm bluff]

[warm ice]

I got bored and made a tier list based on who I would shove into a locker.

[warm bluff]

[warm ice]

As in bully them.

[warm bluff]

[verbal obsidian]

Is ina first

[warm ice]

Yes.

But here is the actual list.

[warm bluff]

[warm ice]

You can't stop the bullying.

[verbal obsidian]

Y ryuuhou

[warm ice]

Easy picking.

[warm bluff]

i see nicholas

[warm ice]

She doesn’t get bullied.

[somber halo]

why is amagi on the last tier

i would put graf zep in the last tho

[verbal obsidian]

[ornate mantle]

Amagi is a mature woman.

And if you think she’ll put up with your shit you’re sorely mistaken.

[somber halo]

i see

[warm bluff]

my al luck this event is awful

i've decided if i end up not rolling every character i'll probably quit lol

[ornate mantle]

LOL

[somber halo]

it do be like dat sometimes

[ornate mantle]

That’s a bit extreme.

[somber halo]

im lowkey almost out of cubicals as well

[ornate mantle]

Luna is low on coins.

Not cubes.

[somber halo]

but im still spreading it out to one 10-roll a day

oh, im always low on coins

[ornate mantle]

Ah.

Wait which ship are you missing

You have 6/7 right.

[somber halo]

Tashkent

[ornate mantle]

Motherfucking Tash

What is her timer... 0:43?

[somber halo]

[ornate mantle]

Yeah... she was also my last ship.

[warm bluff]

i rolled 2 dupe tashkents today

[oblique mantle]

Whoevers tierlist that is

[warm bluff]

still no enterprise or the other purple ship

[oblique mantle]

They forgot to put sheffield in punish for trying

[warm ice]

Tashkent refuses to come to me.

I’m about to give up on this event.

[ornate mantle]

Rossiya and who

[somber halo]

[ornate mantle]

Ohhhhhhhh.

[warm ice]

I’m shoving her into a locker.

[somber halo]

i have pulled 2 rossiya and 3 pamiat so far

[ornate mantle]

LOL

[somber halo]

[ornate mantle]

Everyone has that 1 or 2 ships that just refuse to come home.

[somber halo]

[stuck copper]

no

i don't

[warm bluff]

i've gotten 3 tashkent, 1 of the 0.5%, 3 grozny, and 5 avrora

[ornate mantle]

Remember guys, it took me over 600 cubes for Bisko. Don’t give up.

[somber halo]

i did pull chapayev from D3 earlier today

[ornate mantle]

I got Chapa from rolling.

And a ton of Minsk.

[somber halo]

[ornate mantle]

I have all the Purins thankfully for the event border... ngl this one is probably my fave

Same with the trophy

I love the Northern Parliaments ice theme.

[somber halo]

im just getting it for completionist purposes

im still gonna use the ironblood one either way

[ornate mantle]

I’ll switch to Northern Pars

[somber halo]

too bulky?

thought so

[ornate mantle]

Ngl all of them other than the Sardinia one are bulky.

But this one looks sleek and cool

Get it cuz it’s ice themed.

[somber halo]

but

its almost spring

[ornate mantle]

Russian spring is winter

Russian summer is winter

Russian Fall is winter

Russian winter is super winter

[somber halo]

oh yeah

how good are these shop guns anyways

[ornate mantle]

Be like me an just not care ngl.

[somber halo]

after all calculations

im gonna have to finish this event with 50k points

[ornate mantle]

HAHAHHAHAHA

Just AL and [REDACTED].

[somber halo]

chapayev, minsk, all prints, gold cats, guns, and chips

also the exact stopping point of getting all the prints for point accumulation

[warm bluff]

ahhhhh i almost found a way to get past the early part of 5-3 challenge mode

[somber halo]

you can do it ina

believe in the me that believes in you

[ripe mantle]

[ornate mantle]

Man I want a burrito

I haven’t tried the challenge modes yet.

Not exactly a priority atm

[somber halo]

ive been want to also

but im too lazy to switch my gear around

[warm bluff]

i managed to kill 2 elite casters but i got overrun by enemies

[ornate mantle]

Which map was 5-3 again

[warm bluff]

4 casters and immediate fast enemy rush

[ripe mantle]

Idk which to pick

The cv rld one is tempting

[flat palm]

I spent 10m on glamours and gear today synd

[ornate mantle]

Ah this one

[verbal obsidian]

das good

[ornate mantle]

Ah, the ending to chapter 5

Is epic

[steep scarab]

[ornate mantle]

Also, I love it when I can use Ifrit to her fullest.

Like, when a map just has this long line.

Where I know Ifrit will absolutely fuck up everything in her path.

Btw all my recruits have given me shit tags again, KEKW

[warm ice]

@steep scarab

[warm bluff]

@warm ice

[warm ice]

I think Luna’s gone insane.

[warm bluff]

i've always been a lunatic

[steep scarab]

@warm ice

[warm bluff]

somebody give me a female character to draw

[ornate mantle]

Swire

[verbal obsidian]

lol this streamer im watching has the best donation sound

[warm bluff]

ok time to screw it up

[ornate mantle]

Great

[verbal obsidian]

"moneyyyyy makes life happppyyy"

[ornate mantle]

Give it to me when you're done.

Oh, make her doing the "Gaaaaoooo" pose.

[warm bluff]

oh no, her hair is super curly

[ornate mantle]

[warm bluff]

what's that?

[ornate mantle]

Mega cute.

[warm bluff]

i dont wanna just copy that picture though

[ornate mantle]

There are a ton of Gao poses.

I'm just showing you what the Gao Pose looks like.

[warm ice]

Darn it

[grand dew]

@ornate mantle we don't call it ifrit road for a reason

[ornate mantle]

I'm 99% sure you made that term up just now.

[grand dew]

nope

@ornate mantle

[ornate mantle]

Ah.

17% from finishing another PR2.

Took about two months, KEKW

[somber halo]

you can do it fam

[grand dew]

so fast

i did fdg and i was done

[somber halo]

now do it again

[warm bluff]

azu, i have failed

swire was too difficult for me

[ornate mantle]

I am saddened.

Finally on D3.

[sick wraith]

Ifrit's the new Iffy

[ripe mantle]

2 months

So slow

[ornate mantle]

Can't be bothered to do more than dailies.

[warm bluff]

that's kinda the reason i'm tempted to quit AL

[ornate mantle]

I love AL... tempted to uninstall all my other gachas other than AK and AL again though.

[warm bluff]

ya i'm pretty attached to my account, but it just takes so much time

[ornate mantle]

Hmmmm, I'm slowing down in AK... so I don't mind the extra time investment in AL again.

Especially when there is an event involving Trophies and Chat borders.

[warm bluff]

i'd rather spend more time practicing my awful drawing

[ornate mantle]

I'd rather spend more time reading LN... but I've also caught up to that a ton recently.

I might call it a night after this run of AL though... can finish D3 tomorrow.

Speaking of LN, I need to finish one today, KEKW

[warm bluff]

Idk how ak is slowing down for people, I'm still in a mad rush to try and develop my team to keep up to date with new content

[magic moon]

You guys don't multitask that stuff?

[warm bluff]

I can't draw while playing AL

[ripe mantle]

I like AL more than AK

Cause i can play other games with AL

Even on new content

But new content in AK requires effort

Speaking of AK

New Anni 2

Best rng possible

Exu buff on Eyja

[magic moon]

I still don't have 400 kills on Anni 2

[ornate mantle]

I finished all my A2 runs this morning

i might just say fuck tashkent

and skip her

[icy plume]

Started the event at 23% now at 88%

[ripe mantle]

[flat palm]

That would be illegal

[ripe mantle]

Why is this music so good? x3

[ripe mantle]

i dont need Tash for hte border

so like

why even get her

i refuse to go into the next banner

when it could be shangri-la

with 0 cubes

[flat palm]

I think shangri is a while off

[icy plume]

We still need the Air raid drills with Essex event

[flat palm]

Tashkent is pretty cute

But yeah dont force yourself without alot of spare cubes

[ripe mantle]

I have 1 cube rn

Shangri event would be a downtime event

To put in between like now and the rerun for example

[flat palm]

I think that would be swiftsure first

[ripe mantle]

No

Swiftsure is newer

In fact

[flat palm]

Is she

[ripe mantle]

Shangri event is over due

[flat palm]

Maybe my memory sucks

[ripe mantle]

It already happened in CN/JP

Before PR2

And w13

[flat palm]

I felt like shangri was kinda old

[icy plume]

I want Independence

[flat palm]

Guess im wrong

[icy plume]

Which is from Shangri event

[ripe mantle]

Essex raid

[flat palm]

Err, new i mean

[ripe mantle]

/wiki air raid drills

[marble relic]

https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/Air_Raid_Drills_with_Essex

[ripe mantle]

Yea over a year ago

Right after CE

[icy plume]

@ripe mantle Sorry I meant that INdependence is from Shangri event.

[ripe mantle]

Its essex event technically

[flat palm]

Yeah its an essex event

[ripe mantle]

Id be concerned about swift

Be shes already perm

[flat palm]

Synd i had a really bad whm in my expert last night, rly tilted me

Their search info was "pls stop dying, im trying my best to keep you alive" but she died 5 times in a row to 2d boss in new dungeon

[ripe mantle]

what

second boss is the easiest one tho

its literally all reused mechs

[flat palm]

She died to glower

LOL

[ripe mantle]

missing shangri-la is literally a make or break for me

if I miss her then i will quit AL

[flat palm]

Im gonna hardcore ragepull for swiftsure

[ripe mantle]

i cant afford whaling in AL

unless it comes in 2 months

[flat palm]

I havent whaled on AL gacha

I prefer missing a ship

Unless super wife

[ripe mantle]

shangri is my favorite CV

super cute

and core to my boss fleet

missing her is might as well quit

[flat palm]

[ripe mantle]

and say what you will

but i enjoy modding

if i quit AL ill have to step down

personal rule not moderation term conditions

[flat palm]

Oh

Was gonna say lol

Thatd be a silly rule

I have no idea who majority of mods are anymore here

@stuck copper

I hope you're doing well

[stuck copper]

[stuck copper]

when i used to use nox there was a substatial difference in performanc when i used directx mode and administrator mode

[solar fjord]

but fuck me shit looks good on this screen

[ripe mantle]

woah

wtf

4 cores

so super smooth

its almost as smooth as my phone

[stuck copper]

rest of pc wont be

[ripe mantle]

im fine fam

[stuck copper]

hehe thats almost exactly double mine with 2 cors

[ripe mantle]

yea

but im also running FF14

with shaders

and chrome

which you know

[stuck copper]

that explains the gpu

[ripe mantle]

chrome is eating everything cause chrome

i turned on advanced graphics too

[stuck copper]

.w.

[ripe mantle]

wtf

i turned it back to where it was

AND GPU GOT WORSE

[solar fjord]

at least your emulator kinda ran AK

[ripe mantle]

so it must be more CPU based than GPU based with the newer settings

[solar fjord]

can't even get it working

[ripe mantle]

this is AL

not AK

AK runs fine

AL did to

but now for some reason

[solar fjord]

im just saying

[ripe mantle]

its dropping

enable 240 FPS

but

AL only runs at 60

maybe i should run LMD more

rq

im the only mod on

[solar fjord]

riot

[ripe mantle]

riot control

[flat palm]

RIOT?!

GET THE PITCHFORKS

some of these comments

[flat palm]

[ripe mantle]

i wonder if i need AS+ in D3

[flat palm]

someonne in a discord im in lol

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/667537859296886784/684318244882219048/unknown.png

[grand dew]

like its ok if they saved all mats just for ch'en

[gilded mural]

if you had a choice between ifrit and exusiai

which one would you pick

[magic moon]

I'd pick Exu, but I don't have her and I do have Ifrit

Ifrit's great on the right map, but if you're not on that map...

[flat palm]

exu

for general use

but both are good options

both are very relevant still on CN

[gilded mural]

i just got top op tag and i could either go with a 1\4 chance to get exu
or 100% ifrit

[flat palm]

100% ifrit

easily

i dont like gambles with top operator

1/4 are bad odds

[gilded mural]

chance is not bad too
it could give me siege exu or hoshi
and silverash but i already have him

but i'm also leaning toward ifrit tag

granted something new

thanks o/

[flat palm]

yeah i wouldnt like risking a SA dupe

im sure you'd be mad if you got that

ifrit is a very cool operator

[gilded mural]

it would be a great waste

[flat palm]

given the map gives ifrit atleast 2 tiles to aoe on

she is easily the best aoe caster we have atm

and some maps she just turns into broken tier

like roadblocks or straigth line maps

[gilded mural]

thanks again got her kinda lucky 2 top op tags in 2 weeks

[flat palm]

i had shit tags with my one top op

so had to gamble healing for saria/ng/shining, and i already had pot 2 shining

luckily got nightingale lol

[gilded mural]

nice

now i wonder if cn top op tag is still locked to the base pool

[flat palm]

they added skadi

but otherwise yes

base

[gilded mural]

not too bad then

[magic moon]

I'd go 100% Ifrit rather than maybe a dupe, myself

[flat palm]

https://aceship.github.io/AN-EN-Tags/akhr.html if you're curious you can look here and select chinese server top right

to see what they have

[magic moon]

I know how I felt when I rolled a dupe Ifrit ;p

[flat palm]

its just the same with +nightmare and skadi i think

nightmare has easy tags whenever they add her

so easy yellow certs

[steep scarab]

@flat palm

[flat palm]

local catgirl gets drunk

[stuck copper]

what is this

final fantasy?

[oblique mantle]

Yes

[stuck copper]

which one

im assuming the mmo

[oblique mantle]

Yes

[stuck copper]

but which mmo

[oblique mantle]

Xiv

[stuck copper]

okie

is it f2p

[night oriole]

FF14?

[stuck copper]

yeah

i guess not

[night oriole]

it's subscription

[stuck copper]

no f2p mode at all?

like after u buy it

[warm bluff]

My tags didn't drop

[flat palm]

monthly sub

[warm bluff]

[flat palm]

woo

nice pull

[stuck copper]

and if you stop subbing>

cant play?

[night oriole]

well, other than monthly subscription , the play is f2p to the crisis-core

yes

[stuck copper]

lmao

so pay $40 then keep paying to play

ok

[oblique mantle]

Welcome to mmos

[stuck copper]

no other mmo i saw was this obnoxious

[night oriole]

actually, that had been a common trend

[stuck copper]

usually when you buy a game you get to keep playing it

without having to pay more after

[night oriole]

if not item-mall, then subscription

[stuck copper]

idk just not worth it especially since im 100% going to have god awful ping all the time

thought itd be nice to mess around in f2p

[oblique mantle]

What mmo have you been playing that hasn’t been like this?

Cause all of em did this

And then the expansions too

[flat palm]

isnt wow even more expensive to keep playing lol

[stuck copper]

good thing i never played wow lol

eh i dont like mmos anyway tbh

i would much rather have an offline singleplayer rpg

[oblique mantle]

Yes

It is

[steep scarab]

@flat palm aki

[warm bluff]

@steep scarab

Ptilopsis is cute

[night oriole]

jiiiiiiiiiii

[warm bluff]

[gilded mural]

idm paying 15$ sub
i mean thats how the game is able to release big patches every 3 months

the ONLY mmo i played that kept getting better with time

[stuck copper]

monthly payments just to not lose access to a game you already paid AAA price for to get in is a bit much

[gilded mural]

as it got famous and attracted more players , you just know where your money is going

into the game and not to any greedy pockets

[night oriole]

monthly payment just to let you play along/against other ppl

and theorically no whaler/p2w

[limpid kite]

Doubt

[gilded mural]

and there is so much to do
i know people who literally play for fishing , crazy but it just shows how the game offers something for everyone

[night oriole]

"theorically" yes, practicality is another story

[limpid kite]

I like fishing in minecraft

[stuck copper]

well of course you can do stuff in it

but i dont want potentially thousands of hours to be completely wasted the instant u stop paying

[gilded mural]

if it was a b2p or f2p mmo you'd log in everyday to do the same quests just to keep up with being f2p model player , gets boring really fast and your dedication means nothing when you go against some whales
but thats just me

but i dont want potentially thousands of hours to be completely wasted the instant u stop paying is very true about f2p games , never true about 14

[night oriole]

[stuck copper]

how

no pay = no play

isnt it??

[gilded mural]

you just sub and continue enjoying the game , behind with gear? easy there are more than i could count ways of catching up in a day if you know what to do , f2p game? better get that wallet out cuz not even few hundreds can help you catch up

[stuck copper]

thats hard to believe :(

[gilded mural]

i understand that sub can be burdening to many people and sometimes im in the same position , but i know that 14 worth every cent i ever spent on subbing for it

beta player and still playing

[stuck copper]

well there is the trial

[night oriole]

almost 6 years

last mmo i played on pc, was also called AK (Aura Kingdom)

[stuck copper]

the last p2p and sub based one i played was eso

a little bit of ms2 and a little bit of SWTOR

[gilded mural]

if you are serious about trying it i suggest waiting 3 months , by the time a lot of boring story quests will be trimmed and stuff should be more welcoming to new players who don't like going thro cutscenes

but free trial is not time limited and offers many things to try

[stuck copper]

every mmo i ever played has been shit lol

[warm bluff]

mmos are expensive

[gilded mural]

gw2 is nice
i enjoyed leveling so much , very atmospheric game

but look
no sub and the game was not able to afford making content after release for a long time actually
