I don't think that's a girl
Drake there's willful ignorance and then there's actively choosing to hamstring yourself 

You're already on legendary difficulty and you're gonna get PASTED
justin i did ER plus 0 and SL 1 for fun , i love getting pasted 
there is nothing that gives me more dopamine in this game than seeing this number go up
So you're doing legend difficulty, no mystic skills, purple gear, no stealth
the no mystics are just me not being used to them yet
maybe when i find some i like
but yeah stealth is a no no
Also- they have literally just added catch-up gear you can physically obtain golden gear with a stream-lined tuning!
But there's so many good ones, just getting golden body gives you a shield
i did buy a shit ton of gear chests and inner way notes from that shop just now
lets gamba
Don't use the jade fish, use the river jade
thats what i am doing
Let's say you don't use offensive mystic skills right, there's a ton of defense ones
i didnt get a single gear that matches my sets 
Golden Body - shield that heals
Serene Breeze - combo interrupt
Ghost Steps - faster dodge and movement speed
Cloud Step - Sekiro's stamp attack
Leaping Toad and Soaring Spear - FREE dodge with a debuff
i get to upgrade my bow and ring tho ig 
WDYM - at least you're getting the 4 set bonus
ofc the first time i get a legendary trait that matters from tuning its on a bow 
Hawking and Eaglerise give you buffs as a dps
no i didnt , icons all different 
Drake you can freely convert then golden gear ...
you can convert?
TIL
too many damn menus man
only 8 times a season
i'd rather wait till i am max level then
I feel like Gino explaining mechanics for Elden Ring but it's not to someone who's new it's to someone who's just blind

listen , you put too many menus in my face , id rather skill through the game on max difficulty 
That is one flaw of the game for having so many menus
Which is why I think someone's gonna have to explain to Jeannie the menus that are important 
legit , i spend 10 mins b4 and after each play session just claiming stuff from the events
like why not just put a simple "claim all" button that gets you everything from every single menu
Because fomo gacha
What level are you??
79
I swear when Jeannie invites us in online-mode/co-op mode
We're gonna have such a wild variation of looks xD
my dude is rocking the default fit , but i want this armor at some point , 118/360 rn
ignore the face
its a travesty ik
I spent so much time making my guy look like a grizzled general
Only to find out we are canonically 16
No filters or AI BTW he's just that cool
OH to be fair
If you do Wandering Paths and spam the level 81 sword trial you will easily hit 90 since you can run it with bots
You will also have no excuse to not have good gear
leveling isnt a challenge
you get levels like candy in this game , i was litearlly 60 yesterday , and i did like 2 quests and some collection 
Well what you have no excuse on tho is getting the right gear
Level your weapons and your inner ways
And get those mystic skills FFs 
Watching Justin struggling to comprehend a different playstyle has been so funny so far 
nah i am objectively playing it wrong , but thats only cuz i cant be bothered to learn all the damn menus and dont want to look up guides 
Drake is not playing a different way he's just actively hampering himself 
I only used a guide to 100% the wandering tales. I went through most of the game by exploration
I joined a pvp guild but learning pvp is obviously more different than learning pve
i tried the battle royal mode once
It's so fun
No what you do is
Grab a vernal umbrella
Find a gold one that gives you invisibility on a charged heavy
Then sneak across the map and hide in a tree
still have to win the 1v1 at the end even if no one finds you 
You are not ready for 1 V1 or 3 v 3 Drake you will be red paste
That's why you also get the blazing bow that fires grenades
That's basically only when I did pvp so far 
Well, GvG I guess, but that's just casually with the guild
This is what pvp is like in 1v1
Perception Forest is much more different owing to it being 5v5s and allowing you to use boss ults
Most guilds tho will be involved in smth called Guild War which is Deadlock- style match

As you can see a PVP is very much like dark souls. You'll be fighting using anything you've brought from single player over to multiplayer
It's also much faster and Aggressive
going towards a quest and i randomly find 6 dudes tposing on one leg ontop of eachother... wtf 
It's a mini game iirc
Is the first boss hard to fight?
which boss
Oh.
lessone learned , DO NOT quit out inside an outpost , i got fucking jumpscared so hard when i loaded in and 3 enemies were on me 

on legendary you have to be
I know parrying is a thing in the game, but being a full ranged/healer main, I rarely have to use it
Depends on the attack. Can't parry some for the life of me 
the fan has a jump-back ability that also creates a wall enemies and their projectiles cannot pass through, and the umbrella too can carry me out of harms way by means of temporary flight
though of course the fan's wall doesn't block bosses themselves
how do you all survive without the umbrella as your off weapon? do you just chuck health consumables?
the umbrella has an ability that makes it flow above you healing you gradually, and you can just switch to your main weapon and keep attacking, it's so good

until i run out , then i just die until i beat the boss without healing 
parrying sometimes, not all
For exploration, I used to carry a fan. Now I just.. kill everything before it can hurt me 
For bosses, yeah, the pots
Moongazing maiden is a very good teacher for parrying
I haven't had health consumables on me since.. like, before I got the healing umbrella
I still need to farm more levels though and reach max, and then farm up my gear
I currently use the damage fan and healing umbrella- I haven't even leveled the healing fan and damage umbrella in a bit
I also noticed there's a new umbrella version, focused more on area
it uses a different damage archetype though, so might not need it
I use the damage fan because I solo- but what I really want is be a full healer that just never dies

this might be a skill issue but i swear the archery challeges with the exploding barrels are the hardest thing in this entire game
not using the slow skill?
even with it
i might simply suck 
I don't think I've even let my opponent get a single hit in the archery challenges
no no
those are easy
i mean the ones where you have to pop exploding barrels
in less than 10 seconds
I did find the timing for those pretty tight, yeah
i've legit only got the first one
the rest i cant even get the 20 second
my current defensive setup, plus using healing weapons- still need to also level up the ways
the heart of fire one in particular has some incredible upgrades
im on if you wanna farm smth and get those levels up
well , i found the donkey boss 

I got some prettier purple eyes

"stargazer" something in english
not that anyone can see them, because I always hide my eyes

i can already tell ill hate the shit out of this bossfight
No.
@dusky coyote how did you even add her , did you snipe the char id?
you can just find the name if you type in Add friend 
i did but it cant find it 
skill issue 
@celest portal SHE KNOWS THE SCRIPT LUL

to be fair
Iโll start Monday.
Ruby is infact super annoying in the first few hours of the game
but by the time that happens to Ruby, it does pay off
most kids in this game are rascals tho
i tried so many ways to kill her LUL
and yeah she gets really good char developement by the time she gets offed LUL
If team/co-op shenanigans happen next week ....I think I am going to be a huge issue since I am max level and Jeannie will be pasted by lvl 95 bosses 
But helping out in co-op in terms of exploration and fooling around in multiplayer activities will be fun. So long as we all jump into Jeannie's world, anything we do contributes directed to her in terms of XP
@wicked moon hold on though if you're on legend mode, would Jeannie be forced into legend difficulty??
Doubt it maybe if she joins my world?
Apparently it works like this: host determines the enemies' level and the difficulty. With the exception of World Bosses, which get the level of the highest player joining for some reason.
huh
So she's screwed either way. Either world bosses one shot her, or other players one shot everything else in her world
that makes coop basically impossible for her with higher level players 
yep
i think she should just rush the main quest until qyiane , should take her 2 more sessions if she doesnt get distracted super hard, then use the last session for coop stuff , she'd be lvl 70 ish
Same tbh. Or like leave the last hour for messing around in multiplayer. People showing off, playing minigames, doing the guild boss etc
if she doesnt have another mmo she like really wants to get to , she should give this 2 months ngl , the MP stuff doesnt really "work" unless you're max level 
I suspect Windrose might be the next one
has she said if shes ever going back to doing the WoW 60 thing? 
nope
i bet she also forgot the entire DS3 run 
Nah, she mentioned it recently. Just getting the trips out of the way first, I think
How far is she into kcd2?
She's exploring Kuttenberg

Think last was... the tournament with the germans?
Not exactly. If we do co-op with her it will mostly involve things like playing the games, gathering things, doing the dungeons and skill thefts
Outposts are doable too and the reason why it's useful is because all the rewards we do in co op go to the host, meaning Jeannie will get a surge of exp for just playing games and open world exploration
We could always take Jeannie around Qinghe or even help her farm oddities
I'll absolutely help her with the mystic skills
Ngl, being dragged at lightspeed through things you don't know, farming things your don't understand, while not even being able to actually fight because everything dies before you get there... I fail to see how that's going to be a fun experience. For her or the stream.
Killing everything will be impossible since as we saw with the puppet boss, we will get pasted
But I do feel like Jeannie will need a hand with figuring out all the menus, that's a huge flaw with the game
I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE LEVEL SCALING
yeah no fuck that
he has like 50 frame traps based on distace
solo legendary is good enough 
That's a right response
Unironically a contender for the worst fight in the game so far , and I really hated the digging claw guy world boss lol
I was considering asking you about best/worst bosses so far
Decided to wait until you finish Qinghue at least
Out of the 12 I've fought the best Is qyiane by a mile and the worst is sleeping daoist by a mile 
Makes sense
Shoutout to dalang (dancing horse) for being actually a good fight despite technically being a gank tho
good luck on wolf maiden lol
you should probably swap to vernal umbrella if you want a fighting chance with her
my favourite boss
My favorite boss is Moongazing maiden
i actually got to fight her early , i was like lvl 10
no idea how to get back there tho 
How did you fight her?
Level 10 access to Hexi is like. Borderline impossible
You would have had to do all of Qinghe's story, then the Hexi campaign, fight Guo Xin and THEN access the Liangzhou region
You can go back to Liangzhou by accessing the map and clicking on the bottom left corner to change zones
not moongazing
wolf maiden
there is a quest in the banquet that gets you drunk and you can fight her early
it teleports you there
but if you leave you cant come back
Yeah, it's just like a little tease for her
Little tease is an understatement
It drops you in with zero prep and you can see countless messages of people screaming "GET ME OUT OF HERE"
i think i died like 5 times , until i noticed her level 
btw i fought the puppet master refight , and fuck phase 2
like i first tried phase one , then this mofo oneshots me from off screen 
Phase 1 is a joke with companions
i beat it solo first try 
Elder Gongsun's frog leap has enough stagger to interrupt him
but phase 2 i cant figure out the timing for anything 
And with Wolf Maiden, Yi Dao has enough tanking to make phase 1 livable without healing
For Phase 2, you don't run down, run up to the top of arena to avoid the charging soldiers
As for the shadow, the deflect window is usually when you see the shadow flash
As for Tian YING
I brute forced that fight, he's the Melania of the game
@celest portal question , am i supposed to send it into the draw every time i get 10 of the token thingies or just wait until i get 130 to get the garenteed legendary?
up to you
if it's the permanent banner, doesn't really matter when you pull
if it's the timed one, see if you like what's in it
so progress for the pity doesnt reset when the banner changes?
yep

I need to beat the new fights in trial to keep the number up to date, but cba right now
I see you are almost at the current breakthrough, let me know if you want to run some group stuff together
What's your mastery at?
nvm , i was just upgrading 
either way , no where close to the 2.3ish that is recommended for group content atm
I closed the game in bed rn 
But yeah all my arsenals after tier 61 aren't even maxed
Because I was just leveling and not doing outposts and boss refights and what not to gear up in those levels
And most of what I am wearing is blue 
Found the coffin master , wierd fight
THIS GAME PULLED A GUARDIAN APE ON ME
Ffs I had my controller down

I have a feeling it happed to both of you 
No I caught on the moment his health bar collapsed so quickly
"No boss has a single health bar what's his deal"
He then died and I thought "oh I've seen this before I can't even leave the arena"
The DEER Immortal one was the scariest for me
Catching up on trials made me realize how much all the extra dps is carrying me. Cos the boss I breezed through during story is kicking my ass rn 
Did she enjoy WWM last week? just realized she is playing it again


she's still very early into it, haven't seen much yet, but she's enjoying the visuals, outfits, combat and such

Nope
Friday it seems, will be a co-op night
It was fun seeing Jeannie slowly get wanderlust running round Qinghe, the game is very, very pretty
basically same 
Very close
finally got around to beating the bastard , number go up
which one , bro has like 8 lol
if you mean the one where he puts his sword down and charges , i actually just ran away and slammed him with ranged attacks while he did it 
yeah the damage to the qi bar vs the damage to his health i was getting wasnt worth it
also the timing was whack for the first attack depending on distance which nearly oneshot me
found budget gyobo from sekiro lol
you JUST found Ye wanshan??
yep , i fought him during the raid b4 tho
redeem code:
HAPPY515
found another boss after decending into a massive cavern under a pagoda
miao something
maioshan , holy fucking delays on this dude
this is gonna take a while lol
i thought the delays on the coffin guy were rough , this guy is on margit's level 
well
i got to phase 2
bro got hands , the staff was only holding him back

got to phase 2 again , what in the naruto bullshit was that
bro pulled out a whole ass statue to fight me
makes sense why horse dude was so easy now
he was gatekeeping this monstorsity lol
yeah nah , this dude will have to wait until i am better geared

music is amazing in this game
even so, how the video shows it is exactly how I feel about game music
down to there being a random orchestra playing somewhere off camera

are you telling me you dont have background music in real life? smh
my brain makes background music automatically
for me, I like the normal ambience- wind, footsteps, even battle-sounds and what not
running water, crackling fire, and especially when it rains in game, I like to turn ambience up

in-game look of the new healing fan vfx on cn
QRT: zhiyuens
new healing fan vfx on the chinese server - 1 harmonic core
bruh i hope i dont run into anyone running this in raids , that whale might unironically crash my game 
I like this a lot

as a healing fan main
I'm sure is it, but that's not what I'm talking about
There's untranslated title up top, and then 2 different versions of a translation in the description
wonder if we get to buff horse today
We might
how many tries to beat heartless are we thinking? 
dammit she's good
So she's just gonna laugh or cheer at Ruby, yeah? 
i mean... i did 
the fuck is up with your guild justin
also doesnt that one treasure hunting quest imply shes not actually dead
||No, she's dead. She set that up before||
||would have been cool if we met her like way later and shes older or something redeeming her annoying ass early game
||
||Her original Chinese name literally translates to something like Red Thread. So the red string we get from that quest is kinda us taking her on adventures, like we promised. Just, you know, way quieter
||
We are a chaotic bunch
After the Qinghe story, where do you think she'll go? Kaifeng or Hexi?
The two of them are technically not correlated in terms of sequence
But I see Hexi as kind of like Shadowbringers mixed with the Painted World of Ariandel
||But Kaifeng's story is so absolutely absurd in the first half, and then it gets very emotional with the grandma||
If she asks, I'd recommend Kaifeng. Considering how Hexi's main story is presented, I don't think that's a good use of stream time
any of yall know how to raise constituion for gear requirements?
First outpost clears give +5 iirc, and then do the daily naked running Well of Heaven thing
Makes sense. Plus now that she unlocks Kaifeng she can enjoy online mode too
For some reason Hexi multiplayer is its own separate instance but it's all self-contained
Oh it's so annoying when you try to do the trading
You spawn at the start of Hexi and just know that was a waste of time 
Kaifeng's bathhouse and mahjong are my jams
She's absolutely going to try and attack the guards at the imperial Palace tho
its... beautiful
just need a retuning
? ill never get better than 3 recommened legendaries lol
eh , this isnt the final tier anyways
perfectionism is for when i hit final breakthrough lol
There is no final breakthrough. We are going to be using 91 gear for a while though
huh the breakthrough screen litearlly says there is one after the one i am at , at lvl 95
so i assumed there is lvl 95 gear
That one won't come with level increase
interesting
so 91 is max gear level and i should be fishing for perfect gear already
Yeah, they are slowing it down cos people are tired of chasing gear that will get replaced in a few weeks
this is where i am at rn , enhacment level pending cuz i literally ran out of coins lol
idk why the arsenal has an up arrow cuz i cant find anything to upgrade
๐ชฟ ๐ชฟ
i am destroying miaoshan's phase 1 now
phase 2 is still a mystery tho
cant dodge the giant golemn thing he opens with for shit
it's probably because you can buy golden gear and throw it in the armory
also please get some golden gear Drake 
there's no reason to attune purple gear
bruh i am trying 
i clear the outposts every day
i keep my stuff attuned until i find more gold stuff
outposts are fine and all but the better tactic to find gold gear is to do the sword trial
outposts only drop purple and blue and ebon iron which is useless for you since you said you don't use mystic skills
Sword trial by comparison gives you guranteed gear chests, custom tips and the jade fish you need
i was doing outposts because i was way too low mastery for sword trials
ill probably start doing them now tho
i came back and i was like at 1.2 goose lol
ngl really dissapointed in this fight , miaoshan/||tian ying|| was made out to be some super cool character in the story but the fight itself is hella cheezy ngl , tho tbf , its next to impossible to make a monk fight feel good in a souls like
The third phase is my favorite
But it's 100% a deflect test
thanks for the spoiler
i am stil stuck in phase 2
as i said i keep getting oneshot by his random disjointed golem attacks 
also his punch combos are not telegraphed at all
YOU NAME-DROPPED BOTH HIS NAMES
how was I supposed to interpret it
Also his giant golem attack has a safe zone on the left side
the quest tells you both his names the second you get into the pagoda 
also i had figured it out even earlier
i guess i am not most people 
We are not most people
its litearlly right there 
I also already picked up who the white-hair guy is from the first cutscene of the game
The Void King is titled "Servant of Emperor Ai" and ||He was the last emperor of the Tang||
Gonna start either today or Thursday. Might play Spider-Man right now.
kungfu panda looking ass

Only in WWM can you be a panda being chased by a leopard
Dude playing as panda is so funny
Especially when you do a 5 man team
Someone should gift it to jeannje
Who the fuck is jeannje 
Gonna start today.
Gotta wait for an updateโฆ
I have to wait for 4 hoursโฆ
Original 3 hoursโฆ
Now itโs back to 3 hours.
Now itโs back to 4..
It keeps switching between 3 to 4 hoursโฆ
Guess Iโll just play Spider-Man.
And Start on Monday. Probably.
Imperial Palace Expansion officially launches May 28 (UTC)!
Check out the first official trailer for the Imperial Palace Expansion. Step into Kaifeng's most mysterious forbidden grounds and venture deep into the inner palace to uncover its secrets.
#wherewindsmeet
now this is gonna be interesting
Hexi was cool but it's time to finally see what Kaifeng Palace is about
I'm gonna have to make a video explaining all the menus in WWM for Jeannie aren't I......
Nah, we got 1 more session left, no point
1 more session left?
Yeah, it's part of MMO Fridays, so she usually just plays something for a month once a week
how many MMOs has she gone through? 1 MMO a month sounds very fast
A bunch. GW2, ESO, SWTOR, Runescape, Conan Exiles off the top of my head
Did you see it got an engine upgrade recently? Looks better now
Did she even say which mmo she's doing next? I guess maybe back to ff14 because there is a new expansion if the ads yt is bombarding me with are to be believed lol
Evercold will not be until jan 2027
she CAN do the patches though, 7.55 won't be until Octobor
Then why the fuck is yt spamming me with it 
because they recently upped the free trial to ShB
so they're pushing hard on their marketing since it's the expansion
nothing yet
Has she done Dune Awakening?
โ ๏ธBy order of the Honk Throne:

you wanna join? We're that PVP guild that i've mentioned in the vids
Thanks but nah , not remotely interested in pvp
Don't speak to me or my son ever again
But it's fun to beat up people with a greatsword
My ping is too high for pvp in this kind of game
Tough matchup today

Their videos are always so good at providing context
Letโs go more learning history!!
Do you think Jeannie is level 32
She could potentially do it
She is
Well then!
I think it's supposed to be building on the Kaifeng story, so might be a bit confusing. At the very least it's going to spoil the ||Big Zhao|| part
Could just run around the area I guess, check out all the random bullshit they added 
2 minutes and then Jeannie gets thrown in Imperial jail
40Gb update, might want to start downloading if you want to play Friday 

There's a possibility they snuck in future zones in too, been getting some new loading screens. Could be that's why it's so big
i almost certainly cant download this patch until i get home which wont be until sunday 
have fun on friday
oof
I've seen larger sizes on Ff
I reckon if it's not just the Imperial Palace, then it'll also be Bujian Mountains
Ok, I wanted to switch weapons for this patch, but fuck it, I'm a heng blade main now. Just look at this!
das a pretty sword

See if Jeannie wants to fight a fully powered cat emperor
she gon have to wait for the hero realm version
That being said the new hero's realm is insanely fun
I love how high-octane Moongazing maiden is now
how did yesterday go , still at fam so cant really watch streams
Poked her head in the Palace because she saw a world boss she wanted to kill, then went back to Kaifeng story
One more session, also mentioned that she might play it for one more month possibly? But up in the air for now
Noice
She can also start doing the sword trial and hero realms
she reached max level?
First ST is at 16, first Hero's Realm is at 51, then new ones open up every 5/10 levels.
wait i though the older ones are disabled when a new breakthrough shows up 
i've never been able to go back to the older ones
They are hidden under Previous Challenges, at the bottom.
ofc they are
But you can go back and do them
fucking where menus meet 

Bruh this is not one of them it's literally a button that says "previous challenges"
This is a 0 perception problem 
I have a -4 to perception checks
I wonder, what did everyone else get?
i got Well of Heaven
What is the description for yours?
Wait so my sect heals players and characters? Or just players or just characters?
I have ideas for a where winds meet anime if the silver needle sect acts like this..
You don't have to use AI for it you can view the sects and their rules in game
