Gotcha gotcha

@lucid epoch Have you tried battle brothers?

Very rich tactics game!! I am having a lot of fun with it.

[somber sonnet]

thats a game i havnt heard about in ages. richard hammer use to play that a crap load

[summer oasis]

They did a good job with Hades 2 difficutly. THe surface route is a bitch. They did a good job with ||Prometheus||.

The final boss, OTOH, is a bit on the easier side.

[somber sonnet]

tf is otoh

[willow monolith]

On
The
Other
Hand

[willow monolith]

seems painful

[lucid epoch]

what game?

[willow monolith]

STS

[lucid epoch]

i mean there's only 4 right

can't be that bad

oh wait i forgot i play on like 10x speed

[willow monolith]

true!

but idk the requirements for the challenge

[lucid epoch]

isntant primordial charge

[torpid ruin]

Dude this game is so fucked up

[lucid epoch]

same build new patch

[lucid epoch]

it's boulder with extra steps

[somber sonnet]

i got into the room while running out of steps

[hot dune]

what game is this? is this the blue prince one?

[somber sonnet]

yea

[somber sonnet]

oh nyo

i got to the math problems i dont get

[summer oasis]

In thr billiard room?

[somber sonnet]

yea

no matter how i did the math i kept getting 53

[summer oasis]

It is not too bad.

[somber sonnet]

the billard room puzzle and the box puzzle gets harder everytime you complete it

[somber sonnet]

yea im stupid i dont know

[summer oasis]

Isn't it just 2
?

[somber sonnet]

it is not

[summer oasis]

try every number to see if you can figure out the relationship

[somber sonnet]

the google AI overlords told me it was 4 and that was the correct answer

[summer oasis]

Yeah, I need to get back to playing htis.

[somber sonnet]

did you make it to the antichamber?

[summer oasis]

No, it was locked. I have to find a lever or soemthing.

[somber sonnet]

10 hours and i rolled credits

now to find out why people have 60 hours in this game

[somber sonnet]

bro so close

[summer oasis]

Hmm. yeah. I just ran into this puzzle. ||It is 4 because the square lighting up in the center indicates that you have to square the result. (18-16)^2 = 4)||

[somber sonnet]

ill try and keep it in mind, its been annoying me cuz i keep getting stuff wrong

but i completed a full house, a room in ever slot so that was cool

[summer oasis]

How you liking the game?

[somber sonnet]

enjoying it

you liking it?

[somber sonnet]

im running out of leads to follow

[somber sonnet]

crazy run today. only did one run today but that one took nearly 2 hours because i pulled all the crazy puzzle rooms

[somber sonnet]

in like 2 days i made no progress in any leads but i have a list of 18 things to follow through

[lucid epoch]

instapick baby

[willow monolith]

Run winner fr fr

[somber sonnet]

i might be done with blue prince shortly. i had a lot of fun and more or less got everything i want out of it. but i tuned into a streamer super late game cuz i was curious why they had like 100 hours in the game and i tuned in to just him showing an insane amount of notes with drawn maps colour coded with keywords all over the place and like a maze of lines and im not smart enough to figure out the true ending

[summer oasis]

@lucid epoch I see you have been playing E33. How are you liking it so far?

It's rapidly entering my top 5 games territory.

[lucid epoch]

It is insane how good it is

I'm side questing the shit out of it rn, the world keeps opening up more and more at every turn

I'm overwhelmed in a good way with how much stuff there is to do, and the combat+optimizing of your builds through luminas is so engaging

I'm hunting some pictos thatll really bring my maelle build together and farming colors of lumina rn

WBU?

[summer oasis]

I am towards the end of act 2 and been exploring the world slowly. Maelle is hard carrying so far, but working on getting others upto par.

Where are you currently at?

[lucid epoch]

Idk how much I can say without spoiling, and I don't know how far I'm into it yet, but if I had to say, midway through act 3. As soon as the damage limiter was removed tho I went around the whole map exploring side content and levelling to 99

The builds REALLY go crazy once you get past that, wondering how you've been approaching your team setup

[summer oasis]

So far, I just put In Media Res + passives that buff counter damage on every character and just parrying everything. IMR is such a strong passive. I kind of left some bosses alone because it is obvious that you are not meant to fight them without lifting the damage cap.

I am probably overlevelled for where I am at because I brute forced my way to the end of the ||Frozen Heart zone||. I did not kill the boss yet, but those fights gave me so much exp.

I am at the ||first axon now.||

But if you are in act 3, you are way ahead.

I think what I really liked about this game compared to other JRPG is that you can salvage shitty builds if you are good at the parrying.

[lucid epoch]

Wait you got that far into ||frozen heart|| with damage cap is crazy

[lucid epoch]

I put in 15 hours before I bought the game cuz it was so good

[lucid epoch]

Absolutely, parry the world and you're so well rewarded for your counterattacks it's worth it

[summer oasis]

Yeah, ||The dancers are easy to parry. Maelle was hitting the damage cap in every counter. You can also get a free kill on the orb summoners if you parry the orbs. They keep shooting at you until the summoer dies. Also with some clever manipulaton, you can get them to swtich stances and blow up the orb for AoE damage on all of them||. Overall, it was very manageable.

The boss is just not gonna happen with the damage cap though. The health bar doesn't budge

Did you find the In Media Res picto?

That one is busted.

I got it kinda early by being a scum and baiting some high level enemies and doublibg back to get it.

[lucid epoch]

Yeah the cool thing about this game is you're overloaded with so amazing many pictos it's hard to decide with your lumina budget

That's why I'm farming more

I do run imr on all my chars but a spoiler skill you get later removes all shield when you use it so it becomes a wasted slot

[summer oasis]

ic. I am gonna go play more before diving back into this chat then.

[lucid epoch]

What's your current lumina rotation rn?

[summer oasis]

The main things are IMR/Augumented counter/Beneficial contamination/Breaker + some other assorted stuff.

But I don't think Luminas matter until you remove the damage cap.

I am pretty sure my setup is far from ideal, but I am consistently hitting the damage cap on all characters.

[lucid epoch]

Yeah at that point you're just investing more into speed with your luminas

Augmented counter and imr are great tho

[lucid epoch]

@fast tree share how you're doing too

[fast tree]

I’m at the dark souls type boss with all the hands and lanterns

[summer oasis]

||Rain of fire|| on Maelle is such a well-animated skill. Love the little turnaround she does at the end.

[lucid epoch]

they did really well with the animations in this game

[summer oasis]

What is your skill rotation on Maelle? I have just been using rain of fire on virtuso mode (which I enter by either via parries or swift stride).

Plus, some auxillary skills for breaking.

I think the other skills will be more useful ||once the damage cap is lifted||.

[somber sonnet]

my gf mentioned she just got maelle and loves her. shes been trying to talk to me about the game cuz she loves it so much but shes been trying to keep it cryptic incase i play and it leads to some weird convos

[summer oasis]

There isn't a single uncool character in the game. But I would not be surprised if Maelle is everyone's favorite.

She has the same VA as shadowheart from BG3.

[somber sonnet]

im not a fan of shadow heart right now

im only like 3 hours into the game but

[lucid epoch]

i have a very specific build i'm going for that kills two of my teammates on roundstart to apply buffs to maelle

so i only use two skills with her, depending on if i need to do single target or hit everyone. both spoiler skills. the rest of the build relies on the other two.

midgame where i was at though i was running breaking rules, fleuret flurry, mezzo forte, rain of fire, swift stride, and pyrolese

but your pictos/skills depend on the weapon you're running. i was running the weapon i got from the arena, but not sure if you have that

[lucid epoch]

character, or gameplay wise?

[summer oasis]

Pretty similar setup. Except I am using ||verso|| as an AP bot with ||leadership||. ||Morocco|| is kinda AP intensive and doesn't have a lot of AP generating skills.

[summer oasis]

I find them interesting in both sense.

[lucid epoch]

||I'm ngl I didn't invest at all into monoco because he's starting from zero too much for me. That's so funny that you put verso as a support because I do too, just for a completely different method. There's a weapon later on you'll get that makes it so that he doesn't get any damage bonus from perfection but instead gives it to allied at half value||

[summer oasis]

Just ran into the scariest thing in the game. ||Double mimes||

[lucid epoch]

||The absolute terror of doing no damage||

[summer oasis]

I think I have futzed around enough. Time to head for what I think is the final part of act II. ||Axon Deux||

[lucid epoch]

||Which one did you do first?||

[summer oasis]

||Visage||

[lucid epoch]

||Did you get everything from the 3 side paths? They pictos are amazing for late game||

Also that design is one of the coolest I've seen. Reminds me of something by Guillermo del toro

Especially in that lighting where they were first introduced

[summer oasis]

Yep. Cleaned the place out.

Yeah, that design was sick. Maybe was a bit too easy due to my levelling. But, still took me a couple of tries.

More than the pictos, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing any of the ||manor entrances||

[lucid epoch]

||Ngl I haven't been actively searching for those since it's just mainly songs here and there but I'm definitely gonna 100% this. I just rolled credits a few minutes ago but there's a ton of stuff I want to do before ng+ing. ||

[lucid epoch]

just unlocked every pictos/lumina

turns out there's no achievement for it

[fast tree]

Fuck im so cooked

||gustave was my main dmg dealer ||

[lucid epoch]

||did you play a bit more||

[fast tree]

yeah i got the other dude

gonna keep playing cause I have a feeling for something

[lucid epoch]

i'll just hop in with u

[summer oasis]

@lucid epoch Made it to the final act. That took longer than I thought.

||I thought the second axon would lead me to act 3 where I have to beat the paintress, but game had different plans. Also, the paintress washed me a few times. The parry timing on some of those attacks were kind of tough.||

[lucid epoch]

||definitely hardest boss up to that point as the parry timings for her chroma attacks really got me in phase 1. Her swipe attacks during phase 2 took a lot of learning too. How are you feeling about the story developments?||

[summer oasis]

Yeah, this took a turn for the weird. It is pretty different from what I thought. Digging it though..was a bit surprised that ||Maelle just didn't paint Gustave back as she knew him pretty well too.||

[lucid epoch]

||did you watch the cutscene at camp? They go into why||

||it actually gets so good from now on||

||love what they do with the characters||

[summer oasis]

||She hands out a few free gradient counters, but boy the meteor strike was really hard. If you get the timing of the first attack down, it's pretty easy to parry the rest. But the first attack has like..zero cues. So you just have to internalize the timing.||

[summer oasis]

Hmm. ||The cutscene doesn't really clarify anything.||

[lucid epoch]

||Are you talking about the one that is like 8/9 things coming at you from a rhythm?||

[summer oasis]

Yeah, that one.

I just dodged it at the end.

[lucid epoch]

||he didn't get gommaged, he got killed||

[summer oasis]

Ah.

[lucid epoch]

||I actually found that one the easiest to parry because it's just one rhythm with no mixups compared to her other ones that messed me up||

[summer oasis]

That explains it.

[lucid epoch]

||which by renoir's perspective is a mercy||

[summer oasis]

Yeah, I am the opposite. ||If I can parry the first attack, I can usually dial in the rhythm for any mix-ups. But if I cannot read that, then I am pretty screwed.||

[lucid epoch]

||I'll let you figure out how verso feels about it||

||maelle also talked about pure/old chroma||

[summer oasis]

So, let's see if I understand this correctly so far: ||Renoir is the one who is gommaging everyone and Alina is slowing him down with the age filter? Verso is actually not painted right? He is like a sliver of soul stuck in the canvas?||

[lucid epoch]

Can't wait for you and mischief to finish because I love talking about the ending and how the game changes your perspective so well during the different acts

[summer oasis]

Should be done in a few more days.

Stopping for today.

[lucid epoch]

||alina is gomnaging everyone but it's more so like a warning/slowing down their eventual disappearance as her power wanes as much as she can so they get to live longer aka verso gets to live longer. If she wasn't there aka when you defeated her, her paintings which were the humans will go kaploot. She also painted the Renoir you've been dealing with in act 1 to stop people from stopping her keeping this world alive for verso's sake. The verso we see in game is painted, the real verso is dead. Aline is grieving verso by using the canvas he left behind with a lil piece of his soul in it to escape from the real world. The real Renoir which you meet is trying to pull her from the canvas to have her come back to reality ||

All the clues are there I just needed more processing and replaying to figure it out lol I definitely was confused on the first run thru

The conversations and lines made way more sense when that clicked

I spent the longest in act 3 but if I can give a warning, don't overlevel too much, you'll have a lot more fun just going thru it normally. At least for the main story, then grind out to your heart's content. There's lots of post game content if you want to push your builds to the limit. I wouldn't worry about that for the main story stuff as your power jumps pretty exponentially

[summer oasis]

My current agenda is ||Figure out the painter's workshop, clean up a couple of chromatics, wrap up frozen heart, off the third axon and then head for Lumiere||. Should I do that or prioritize ||Lumiere first?||

[lucid epoch]

||How much are you hitting for? I say level 50 is the sweet spot for continuing with Lumiere, there's a lot that opens up side content wise that will get you there without farming ||

[summer oasis]

I def see the point about not overlevelling. Because I wanted to ||parry the sirene's final attack, but she died to the first jump counter lol||

[summer oasis]

Ok. lol, I am ||already past level 50 coz of frozen heart||

[lucid epoch]

||Yeah... You'll miss out on a lot of dialogue/fun attacks to learn.||

[summer oasis]

||Like level 52, but I am only hitting for max damage on Maelle consistently. The others are like 4~7k. But that is a build issue.||

[lucid epoch]

||Yeah I think that's more than plenty to do Lumiere. I say to just do that then come back for side content lol||

[willow monolith]

this chat room looking like government documentation

[lucid epoch]

Come join the fun of playing it and declassifying it for yourself

[willow monolith]

I'm debating it

It or cotw or octopath 2

[lucid epoch]

What the heck is cotw

[somber sonnet]

or final fantasy secret lair 🙃

[willow monolith]

City of the wolves

[lucid epoch]

Oh never heard of it

[willow monolith]

Its the new fighting game

[lucid epoch]

Ohh

That's so different lol

It's like should I get a haircut or eat dessert

Idk why not both

[willow monolith]

$$

I'm saving up

Nearly at my goal of 6 figures

[lucid epoch]

Pirate it

If u like it u can buy

That's amazing congrats

[willow monolith]

Ty ty

I guess I could

[lucid epoch]

That's what I did

[willow monolith]

I havent pirated anything since I got a real job

[lucid epoch]

Put 20 hours in pirated version before I bought

[willow monolith]

Damn

[lucid epoch]

Just think of it like an extended demo

Did the same thing with octopath traveller 2 way back when too

[willow monolith]

That's what i used to do when I had a shit laptop

I wanted to make sure o could run the game

you a fitgirl user or a l337 torrenter

[lucid epoch]

If fitgirl has it I just do that

And then magnet

1337 is for software for me or weird niche games

[willow monolith]

Yep glad it hasn't changed

Ill check it out tn

[lucid epoch]

We got another one

Wait octopath or expedition 33

[somber sonnet]

gf just got to act 2. telling me its so amazing shes prob going to buy it for me cuz she knows i wait for sales

[sudden siren]

What game yall talking about

[somber sonnet]

not a rogue lite but expedition 33

[lucid epoch]

just finished my 2nd run, about to do my 3rd ng+

[summer oasis]

@lucid epoch I solved the overlevelling issue while doing the side stuff first. I just don't level up the attributes.

[lucid epoch]

this is very smart

[summer oasis]

||Beat golgra with Maelle to get the weapon|| My speed was so low that she goes 4 times before I get to play once

[fast tree]

verso is ben star, its clive rosfield

[lucid epoch]

||I really enjoyed learning parry timings for golgra ||

[summer oasis]

I really enjoyed ||parrying her for 2 straight hours. Had to upgrade my weapon to level 25 to do actual damage to her.||

[lucid epoch]

||I didn't have damage cap removed when I did the fight, it really helped me appreciate the text telling you what's coming next to get the correct timing||

[summer oasis]

lol how long did that take>

|| yeah, 3 strings and remixed version of those strings in phase 2. That was fun.||

[fast tree]

@lucid epoch|| do you have to choose between lune and sciel for the romance options||

like one or the other

[lucid epoch]

||nah there's no choice do them both||

[summer oasis]

||Serpenphare|| is an annoying ass boss

[lucid epoch]

||fire pictos tho||

[willow monolith]

just cracked em

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (@expedition33)

Expeditioners, a quick note on Stendhal and balance changes:
︀︀
︀︀We hadn’t planned to make any balance changes this early—just bug fixes, unless something clearly stood out.
︀︀
︀︀Well, Stendhal did.
︀︀
︀︀It was underwhelming for most of development, so in our final pre-release balance pass, we gave it a big damage boost—and clearly overdid it. It ended up overshadowing most other options.
︀︀
︀︀We still want you to be able to break the game—and you absolutely still can—but Stendhal was making it a bit too easy.
︀︀
︀︀You’ve got one more day to enjoy it in its current form and set some wild records. The adjustment will be included in our first full hotfix set, going live tomorrow. The patch will roll out on Steam first, and other platforms will follow.
︀︀
︀︀After the change, it’ll still be a strong single-hit skill with great synergy potential... just more in line with everything else.

They know how to choose the pic

[lucid epoch]

i'll miss this

[willow monolith]

It had a good run

You'll only do 800m now

[lucid epoch]

still enough to oneshot bosses in ng+3

but what if i run ng+10

and i have to hit TWO stendhals

[willow monolith]

Oh fuk

How are you gonna manage that

[summer oasis]

This game is never ending.

At the ||floating manor||

Found a cheesy build though.

Got the picto that gives ||3 shields on a character's death. Infinite shields with lune rezzes||

[lucid epoch]

oh yeah that's a fun zone, pretty endgame tho

[willow monolith]

i just cleared that area

fun fight

[summer oasis]

I am doing it with level 55 stats.

The fights do drag on a bit wihtout the damage though.

But infini shields carry

[willow monolith]

theres a weapon that maelle has that does something similar

[summer oasis]

I am on Jarum for maelle the entire game.

[lucid epoch]

parry or die

[willow monolith]

...

[summer oasis]

I built her as a counterpoker and Jarum puts me on virtuso on a succesful counter.

[lucid epoch]

oh yeah that's a great one

[summer oasis]

So I just parry and sword ballet

[lucid epoch]

probably most consistent way to get into virtuose

[summer oasis]

Yeah, I am learning shields are kinda busted. I cheesed the ||serpenphare|| fight with Monoco''s level 2 gradient attack.

Lune and Verso are my worst charactesr so far.

Sciel, I didn't really do anything special. She just does damage without any work.

[lucid epoch]

what do you use on her

[willow monolith]

i dont think my sciel has attacked in the last 8 fights

[summer oasis]

I use empowering parry and parry on every character. I think that helps with damage a lot. But mostly spectral sweep and phantom blade on her.

I have to check my lune build. She hits like a wet paper.

Kinda relegated her to a rez bot.

[lucid epoch]

fortune's fury factory

[willow monolith]

she be buffin

[summer oasis]

I think I am going to unequip the breaker picto.

Breaking doesn't seem super important.

[lucid epoch]

[summer oasis]

My party is so low speed that even when I get breaks, I don't get the turns to make use of it.

Is there any story stuff associated with the ||painting workshops?? Or is it jsut a boss area?||

[lucid epoch]

||more so characterization ||

[summer oasis]

Oh, we gotta do it then.

[lucid epoch]

||why it was made, what it tells you about the person who made it, etc.||

[summer oasis]

The list keeps growing.

||Simon, painting workshops, clea, axon||

[lucid epoch]

||third one yet?||

[summer oasis]

Saving it for the last.

[lucid epoch]

||yeah finishing the story first works||

[willow monolith]

for monoco skills ||is is best to take him through the tower with and just kill that way||

[lucid epoch]

||if your sole goal is to get all of it, you'll get most of it naturally just playing tho||

[summer oasis]

||I am gonna do it before the finale, just seemed like the last bit of story before finishing the game.||

[willow monolith]

||im missing 6ish or so||

[lucid epoch]

||lmk if u want me to tell u what they are ||

[somber sonnet]

did you beat it zyx

[willow monolith]

sure

[willow monolith]

no doing ||the tower ||

[lucid epoch]

||Ramasseur, grosse tete, abbest, sakapatate, lampmaster, jar, glaise||

[summer oasis]

||Clea gonna be a problem huh||

[lucid epoch]

||narratively or as a boss lol||

[summer oasis]

||As a boss, I am fighting her with level 55 stats and no stendahl. Might have to actually allocate some of those stats to beat her. My max damage so far is like 1.5 million on a lucky gradient attack crit on Lune. Don't think it's gonna cut it.||

[lucid epoch]

||yeah she's like the second hardest boss in the game. heals to full if she hits you, so your parries/dodges better be good||

[summer oasis]

||Yeah, my parri9es are good. Dodges don't cut it either, right? She will still full heal.||

[lucid epoch]

idk i don't really dodge

[summer oasis]

You have to parry her.

[lucid epoch]

||ok thanks for testing ||

[summer oasis]

||I parried her for like 40 turns straight and got her to like 60% hp and messed up once and she was back to full.||

Yeah, I need to restructure my build to beat her. The defensive setup ain't gonna work.

[lucid epoch]

maybe lol

[sudden siren]

Probably gonna get the game tonight or tomorrow

[willow monolith]

👍 nerfs

new ror2 dlc in development

[summer oasis]

Aight. I think I have ||simon, clea and final boss left. I will have to come back to simon and clea after the final boss. Need the damage. Painting workshop boss's gimmick of inflicting permenant debuffs must have been annoying if you didn't have the picto that blocks status effects at the cost of 3 AP. I did have it tho, so it was just easy.||

[willow monolith]

||he debuffed?||

also did you do the tower?

[summer oasis]

Haha. You might have had too much damage.

||I didn't do the tower. Seems like just a enemy rush. I did like half of it. Is it worth?||

[willow monolith]

i think so

[summer oasis]

||Yeah, my first go around, I was doing fine. But took a couple of hits and my party was perma exhausted.||

||Did you beat clea in the flying manor?||

[willow monolith]

i did

||i want to do her on ng+||

[summer oasis]

That fight seemed like a build check more than anything else.

I am going to get back to her after beating the game. I have 60 un allocated attribute points to work with...

I didn't allocate them because Lys told me that makes the final boss too easy.

But I don't think I can do ||Simon/Clea|| without it.

[lucid epoch]

definitely do story first

[summer oasis]

Yeah, at the final boss. ||Very cool fight. Not done yet. But good emotional beats!!||

[lucid epoch]

||love how the plot comes together at the end||

[sudden siren]

Ooo feeling more confident after eveque

Finally got to parry stuff

[sudden siren]

This trumpet guy is kicking my butt

Might try and run past it

[lucid epoch]

believe in yourself

[willow monolith]

@lucid epoch ||im curious, what ending did you go with the first time||

[sudden siren]

Might just need to sleep on it

[lucid epoch]

||i knew i wanted to go with verso so i did maelle's first to see it||

[willow monolith]

||i did like verso's way more, i was a little disapointed by maelle's tbh||

[summer oasis]

Cleared the ||tower. The final fight was a fun challenge with my setup. Shielding death hard carried me while I learnt their patterns. It was still hard with all the weird delays and kind of tight parry timing.||

||The offense was to build up to gommage and do 4 times damage with fortune's fury and virtuoso + the stacked buff from empowering parry||

[somber sonnet]

i should buy and play this game just so i can click all these spoilers

[summer oasis]

This game is kinda close to outer wilds in terms of the amount of enjoyment I got so far.

[willow monolith]

is that good?

i havent played outerwilds

[summer oasis]

Outer wilds is a very unique game and yes, it is very very good. It's the game that no one can talk about without spoiling it. But it's one of my top 5 games.

[willow monolith]

i seen random clips against my will unf

god damn piratesoftware

[somber sonnet]

its one of those games where if i see someone i like playing it ill watch their playthrough to see their reactions and how their brains work

[summer oasis]

Now that I have learnt ||curator renoir's patterns, the final fight should be a wash.||

[willow monolith]

have you done ||simon and clea?||

[summer oasis]

||No, might try clea first to see if I can beat her with the gommage setup. If not will come back after final boss and stats||

I am still not hitting for massive numbers, but it is workable.

[willow monolith]

||how much does gommage do?||

[summer oasis]

Like ||8 million with ideal setup.||

The biggest thing that helps is the ||charging critical picto that gives you 25% of a grad bar once every turn for a critical strike. If you put that on everyone and parry a few times, you get to 3 bars pretty quickly. Especially with my party that is slow as hell. I was getting like 1 turn for every 6 enemy turns against painted love.||

[willow monolith]

really?

||you can turbo charge it with maelle's AoE painter skill since it gives extra gradient charge on cast||

[summer oasis]

You gotta realize that apart from ||Sciel, I have 0 agility on my other characters. My stat allotment was...poor.||

But I leaned into it instead of respeccing.

It's the parry everything party.

[willow monolith]

||oh, i just put every speed boosting picto on my team i could||

hsr taught me that

[summer oasis]

hsr?

[willow monolith]

star rail

[summer oasis]

Ah

I don't know no star rails.

[willow monolith]

the parry everything is the way to go imo

[somber sonnet]

i played it the first month it came out

[lucid epoch]

||in what way||

[willow monolith]

||i just felt like it was very blatant about "this is bad ending"||

||while verso's was less blatant ||

[lucid epoch]

||that was my initial reaction too but i realized it's not so cut and dry||

[willow monolith]

||i mean... its literally black and white ||

[lucid epoch]

||there's a missable dialogue that basically shows that the people "in the painting" are sentient" so you can take that for what you will. everyone's selfish in their own way, including verso||

[willow monolith]

||you could argue especially verso||

||i still liked the maelle ending, i just thought it would be way better without the shot of her in the painting trance||

[lucid epoch]

||interesting take, haven't heard that one before. do you think it was too on the nose||

[willow monolith]

||yeah i liked the build up of it and the small details in the background like the npcs being mostly copy and paste. and the reversal of the finale of old verso at the piano with his younger self watching. the shot + musical stinger\cutoff just kinda takes the subtext and makes it text imo||

[sudden siren]

The government is here again lmao

[summer oasis]

||Clea down. Took a couple of tries coz Maelle kept getting eaten.||

[summer oasis]

Ok. Done with the game except ||Simon||.

||Went with the Verso ending and watched the Maelle ending. Kinda glad I picked verso||

[summer oasis]

||I felt the Maelle ending had too much of "I am playing with my toys" vibe that I didn't like...It might have been better if she wasn't in the painting with them.||

[summer oasis]

Also, the ||final boss fight intro with 3 refrains as renoir bamfs them into the canvas and transforms into curator was sick!!||

[somber sonnet]

does that mean you are going to finish blue prince now

and or chained echoes if you havnt finished it yet

[summer oasis]

I still have one boss left.

But probably will pick up blue prince after that.

[summer oasis]

Actually, I might finish BG 3 coz of jen english.

[somber sonnet]

ill be honest i thought you finished that already

[summer oasis]

||Simon is a true souls boss complete with Clea whispering in his ear about the guiding moonlight and other assorted bullshit.||

[sudden siren]

I finally beat gablu

[sudden siren]

Took way to many tries but I can now progress the story

[summer oasis]

@lucid epoch @willow monolith ||How did you beat Simon? He kicks out your party in middle of phase 2? It's a slog. Even with fortune furied virt gommage, it's like barely 1/3 or 1/4th health bar. I landed it like twice and he is barely at half health. His combos are kinda scummy too. I can dodge the light speed and sword of lumiere attacks and most of phase 1 attacks. But the phase 2 version of the long combo is kinda unreadable.||

[lucid epoch]

||you need to survive with the first party until phase 2 second half where he autokills them. I'm working on a parry only run right now with simon and it's really fun. It'll take some practice for sure because the timing between each swing from the third part onwards of the long combo in phase 3 is different than the rest but it feels so good to do||

||the one i struggle most with is somehow the powerful combo/long combo third phase||

[summer oasis]

||I had to respec the whole party so that he doesn't get like 500 turns before I get to play once. I don't like the remove the dead mechanic. In general, I don't like mechanics that can simply invalidate playstyles. All it does is reduce how much you can learn in an attempt.||

[lucid epoch]

||totally get that viewpoint, tho i view it the other way. where you can't just force 1 strat and have to something different, makes it more interesting||

[summer oasis]

|| I know what you mean..there is a great discussion on roguelikes strategy headroom that I think has some similarities here. http://nethack4.org/blog/strategy-headroom.html?fbclid=IwAR1qUtRc3aK_K900zJ4WmYKdUEjhyRQSqsWs8EHhDZ7HVkX5rPDJD67w5k0 ||

|| I think in roguelikes, I favor the game being more harsh on my builds and asking me to put together somethign that will be able to answer any challenge because the space of encounters is fully known ahead of time and I have no attachment to my characters. They are just an means to a end.||

|| In RPGs, I don't like it. I have no means of anticipating a challenge like Simon. Even if I solve the encounter, it requires me to deviate from the identiy that I have assigned to the characters. Maelle is no longer the fencer parry girl who is fine with going last or even never because anytimes they try to attack her, she parries everything and kills them. It worked because I had other failsafes built in while I learnt the parry timings. That is no longer the case. Now everyone has to go fast because Simon has like 7 attacks with weird timings that are hidden deep in phase 2 and you can't learn by trial and error because every error could potentially result in losing your win condition.||

[lucid epoch]

||i don't think the game forces you to do that. That's the point of running the parry only run for me, it's fun to learn the parry timings for each of them. I removed all my speed stats because it doesn't matter. I think the real issue you're facing is that you have to do a long phase because he has 3 different movesets depending on how long you last and you can't practice it until you get through the first two, especially when they're more varied than the rest of the enemies you've fought so far||

[summer oasis]

|| I think it forces you to do that in a soft manner. You are right, the issue is the sheer amount of animations you have to get through before you can even access those movesets. For e.g, if there is a training mode, where you can set him to do those attacks against you, it will take what..like 2~3 mins to learn how to parry each of those attacks and then he is cooked, right? But having to slog through phase 1 and phase 2 before you can even see those moves is just annoying. Sure, I can brute force it and get there at the end, but it feels like it comes at the cost of party's identity. When you see them die 600 times, they just stop being characters and just become tools.||

[lucid epoch]

||might also just be a level thing too tbh. i personally don't feel like it's a slog as the act of parrying is really fun to me, where I've been having fun for hours just parrying this guy. i'm purposefully handicapping myself by autodeathing the rest of the team except 1 which isn't how you want to play, so I get you wanting to use the tools from your characters. But if I'm able to do with just that, there could be two issues

1. your level is too low so you feel like it takes longer than you like
2. the process of parrying is boring to you

which is totally fine, but it's not like elden ring where it's "just get good", you could just grind more and come back. You get to choose your difficulty, by leveling, and also through settings too.||

[summer oasis]

||It is not 2. I played that way the entire game. I am not sure if it is 1. His phase 2 takes forever, but I am like level 85 and have decent pictos/luminas. Maybe not very optimized, but I never bothered with optimizing it because the rest of the game didn't really need it to be optimized. It doesn't feel like I am doing damage to him quickly. Outside of gommage and maelle counterhits, I am doing like 100~500kish. My second highest damage is probably from fortune furied elem genesis which maybe hits for a million||

[lucid epoch]

||yeah might be a level thing. he's meant to be the hardest boss in the game so i think his challenge is warranted and should be way harder than the rest. He's even in like a hidden ish area you have to go out of your way for, so the people who want to beat him will have to be really wanting that challenge. I like that they made him that hard as he's meant to be that hard.||

[willow monolith]

||my first playthrough maelle just one tapped him in p2, but you can do alot to minimize his bs||

||im working my way through ng+ rn to get to him||

[lucid epoch]

||burn takes care of his shields that he steals from you but i just removed every shield pictos lol||

[willow monolith]

||i would focus on having last chance on everyone and avoiding shields for the fight||

[summer oasis]

||I removed all the shield pictos too. Burn does remove shields, but I am not really benefitting from shields as he always steals before he atacks..||

[summer oasis]

||last chance or second chance. It is the auto-rez right? I have that on everyone||

[willow monolith]

||auto rez one||

[summer oasis]

||It might just be a damage issue tbh. I survived long enough in P2 and parried enough attacks to setup my maelle virt ff gommage twice and it takes like everyone getting like 2 turns and enough parries to get that up. Maybe need to optimize damage output. I am no where close to 1 tapping him with Maelle even with all that setup. Like 1/4th or 1/3rd of his health bar at best. Not even that, I think.||

[lucid epoch]

||yeah that's second chance||

[willow monolith]

||are you using sciel?||

[lucid epoch]

||you don't need to 1 tap him. tho his post cutscene phase has a lot more health tho||

[willow monolith]

||the character is very broken imo||

[summer oasis]

||I am using Sciel as a fortune fury/all set bot||

[summer oasis]

||I don't want to 1 tap him. But, I also don't want to be there for 50 minutes.||

[willow monolith]

||if you using gommage, you should also try and use the 7cost aoe skill maelle has||

[summer oasis]

||phantom strike?||

[willow monolith]

||it turbo charges the gradient bar||

[summer oasis]

||Yeah, I have that too. I also have the luminas that give me grad charge on almost every action. So that helps a lot.||

||Stendhal does damage comparable to elemental genesis now and elem genesis requires a little bit less setup as I don't need to setup going to virtuso too.||

[somber sonnet]

questions about mechanics in e33 for you vets

1. is there actually any point in investing in healing on the highest difficulty when the enemy one shots you if you dont parry its sneeze

2. is there any point in finding an enemy weak element if burning seems to carry everything

[lucid epoch]

you can definitely play a defensive build if you want, there are lots of pictos that enables it and kinda allows you to play it like a typical rpg

[lucid epoch]

less about burn more about you outscaling the enemies through raw numbers

i'm of the opinion now that you should just play however you want and don't try to optimize too much because the game's balance goes out the window in your favor eventually, so if you just play unoptimally, it might be optimal for the experience in terms of enjoying a fair and non steamrolly experience

[torpid ruin]

Robomando is genuinely the strongest survivor in any ror game

its not even close really

Maybe engineer???

Opening every chest and getting every drone for free on a 3 second cooldown is crazy

im like an hour or so ahead of you on my playthrough

[somber sonnet]

i now get why for a week my youtube recs was spammed with reactions to the end of act 1

[lucid epoch]

You're very strong for not clicking them

[somber sonnet]

its the whole reason i got the game as early as i did. because this game has been talked about more so than anything else i can think of

[lucid epoch]

Deserved tbh. Thoughts?

[somber sonnet]

it started off rough cuz it has some game designs i criticize in other series but they feel nitpicks in this game. enjoying it so far

[lucid epoch]

And about the act 1 ending?

[somber sonnet]

its good. my gf finished the game so ive been revealing to her what i think the story is and where its going to go

[lucid epoch]

love discussing the story with people

so much to talk about

[somber sonnet]

there is one thing thats been confusing me and i dont know if its me or not ||do all the white male characters look the same to you guys? the beach opening scene i thought that old man was the main character but older cuz i swear they had the same face. the end of the first act maelle gets saved by another white dude and he looks like the son of the old man but also really close to the mc too||

[lucid epoch]

||i've heard that said before. I don't see it personally but i think people just see "guy with facial hair and similar hairstyle" and go they're the same person. ||

[somber sonnet]

my running theory currently is ||the paintress fears death or something and she converts those who get gommaged into the minion things. lots of odd hints to it, the gestrals when they die they just get reborn, the 2 immortals, weird discussion where the things feel familiar to the party one way or another. or it all could just be limbo||

[somber sonnet]

i checked out some reactions for the end of act 1 and im mad under leveled lol

[lucid epoch]

i don't think you are, most people are just overlevelled lmao

tho being overlevelled is a bigger concern near the end of act 2/beginning of act 3 than act 1

[somber sonnet]

i skipped the enemies of an entire area pretty much cuz i hated fighting them lol

[lucid epoch]

||interesting. 2 immortals, that you know of. anything sticks out about things being familiar? who notices it?||

[lucid epoch]

oh completely opposite to me

had so much fun in every fight that i fought everything

[somber sonnet]

did you kill the ||petanks? i killed the first one but had the next 3 or 4 flee, might just skip them ||

[willow monolith]

yeah every fight felt really fun save for like 2 enemies

[willow monolith]

theyre pretty decent to kill once you start being able to go 10+

[somber sonnet]

||the mini boss in the rose garden had a connection with maelle, and esquie has some connection to uhh girl i cant remember the name of. i unno if its intentional or not but all of them can understand what they all say when the communicate even though its just grunts or gibberish. then obviously the white hair girl and maelle. im just annoyed my original theory with gustave didnt pan out. he had this thing where he was bounding on his chest like he had something in his throat or ache in his chest. thought it was connected to whats his name with the cane||

[lucid epoch]

||they all have a gimmick to them, once you figure it out you'll kill them||

[lucid epoch]

||i don't think you know that man with the cane's name yet. also i think that pounding on his chest when he woke up was a panic attack, just how i read it. But yeah keep the rest in mind for later||

[somber sonnet]

||i do know his name i just forgot it||

[summer oasis]

I am wrapping bg 3 and only have the final boss left. I don't know what changed, but I have been bumrushing all the bosses and it seems to work just fine. Lvl 12 monk just takes no damage at all for some reason.

Wrapped up BG 3: ||How did withers pull a minor deity for a campfire reunion? He has got some pull.||\

||And he just shit talked a wall mural. Was he the main character all along? ||

||do you not know who withers is?||

[summer oasis]

||He is the respec guy. ||

Ok. Googled it.

[willow monolith]

||.||

[summer oasis]

This was a good game. Good thing it won all those awards.

I want to replay it, but it's probably too soon.

I went the goody-two shoes route. Happy with everyone's ending except maybe ||Gale. He became a god and kind of a dick. But, no loss. I told him he is a dick in the final conversation. So he is aware of the sitch.||

[willow monolith]

If you do play again I highly recommend the durge route. There's alot of new content and story to see

[summer oasis]

I was playing baldur's gate 3.

[somber sonnet]

||what do you mean theres a phase 2||

[summer oasis]

||There is always a phase 2.||

[somber sonnet]

i tried so hard to beat the act before bed but i couldnt do it

at least what i assume is the end of the act

||i skipped literally every single trash mob just so i could get done with it but back to back hard bosses proved too much. i dont even need levels its a skill issue at this point not a damage one ||

[lucid epoch]

||for act 2 once you hit 9999, yeah.||

[somber sonnet]

||doing that on both my A and B team||

[lucid epoch]

||learning parry timings for bosses is one of my fav aspects of the game||

[somber sonnet]

||id be more of a fan if there wasnt so many baits or if i could restart faster||

[lucid epoch]

||once you learn the art of sound cues, it makes a lot more sense. the gestral fights in the arena teaches you this pretty well imo, at least it did for me. making the feints really obvious so that you can't rely on visuals||

[somber sonnet]

||its not too bad but the second phase of paintress is kicking my ass. i cant seem to keep lune alive long enough for my nuke set up||

[lucid epoch]

||her combos are quite brutal in that second phase, especially the fast back to back ones. all rhythm, you'll feel amazing once you get it down. ||

[summer oasis]

||If you have monoco and his level 2 gradient attack, you can spam shields and absorb infinity attacks.||

[somber sonnet]

||lol my last 2 attempts was surviving with maelle using healing parry and counter attack and getting a 9 ap attack off almost every turn then using group res to finish off phase 1 ||

did find out a cool fact though ||the guy who sang the theme for guy i cant remmeber his name. the dad. he also sung bury the light or so the internet tells me. i didnt fact check it ||

also i have to ask ||that world boss that just bounces on your ass on repeat. is that a high level boss or is it a gimmick where you parry it enough it just dies?||

[summer oasis]

Did you get the ||imr picto.||

[summer oasis]

||latter. It self destructs ig you parry it enough

you know the only real complaint i have with e33 is i wish enemies in the overworld would have a symbol over their head if they are way over your level

[somber sonnet]

||done act 2||

[lucid epoch]

||how is your brain processing it||

[somber sonnet]

||eh, i expected a bigger impact||

[lucid epoch]

||meant more so new plot developments||

[somber sonnet]

||so i didnt sleep well last night and for the entire ending. which felt like 30 or so minutes i had a headache and feeling nauseous so once i hit the camp i saved and turned it off. im going to process it but initial thoughts is im kinda luke warm on everything right now||

[lucid epoch]

understandable it's a lot to take in

[sudden siren]

Ah dang I need to grind this game but so many other games to play too

[summer oasis]

I started a durge run in bg3. I gotta say, I had the lot of them under my thumb by the end. But, they all start off as some really pushy bitches.

[somber sonnet]

whats a durge? dark urge?

[summer oasis]

ye4

[somber sonnet]

after mulling it over ||im not going to over think it and just let the story play out. too many questions and im just going to trust the process things come together. however, im getting the end of ff10 vibes ||

[somber sonnet]

oh ||this is what act 3 is now? im not sure i wanna play anymore i have zero interest in grinding. going to turn it off and sleep on it. might just watch someone else play it ||

[lucid epoch]

there's no need to grind

||you can beat the main game at level 40, the rest of the stuff is side content if you decide you want more||

[somber sonnet]

||i feel so disappointed starting at the end of act 2 revelations and now this im kinda forced to grind cuz even turning the difficulty down to story mode the trash mobs are just too tanky and boring. and the story beat of the world is fake kinda killed my mood to keep playing cuz wtf is the point. renoir is right ||

[somber sonnet]

||yeah im like lvl 32||

[lucid epoch]

||interesting, you're the first person who's had this thought||

||everyone I know was overleveled by act 3 and made the game too easy||

[somber sonnet]

||part of it was i wanted to finish act 2 before bed so i was trying to speed run it. that entire monolith area i didnt do a single side fight. visage the way the masked guy talked to you it seemed like you would get punished for exploring so i thought big brain ill just go to the meeting so i didnt do any extra fights there either ||

[lucid epoch]

||Were you dodging majority of the enemies or something, that's the only way I think that could happen||

[somber sonnet]

||there was also some areas in the dark that i skipped cuz when in fights it was too dark i had real trouble seeing enemy attacks even with brightness cranked, but those were only small sections inside of large areas ||

||Man, intro to Simon's p2 is like if fromsoft actually knew how to write dialogue.||

my favourite is when the enemy hits you with a multi hitting ability that randomly hits different party members but you only have 1 person left so its just the same character spamming "ok" and "ready" every attack

the spit attack from the bougeons or w/e they are called comes to mind for me

[summer oasis]

@willow monolith Re e33 ending since you asked abou the other day: ||I picked Verso as I was already sympathetic to Renoir's cause. Verso's soul wanting to stop painting was the thing that pushed me over the edge to pick Verso's ending. I kinda get where Maelle was coming from too, but I thought she wasn't very emotionally healthy at that point to just hand her what she wants.||

||But I will say that the issue I have with choices like this is that they force a false dichotomy (like Lune says at one point). There was no reason for this to be either-or situation. Both of them could have had what they wanted. I am sure Renoir would have been more open to leaving the canvas intact if Maelle and Aline didn't act like addicts and were willing to compromise.||

||There is also the fact the painting was sustained by Verso's soul and I don't think it would have been cool to just let it do all the heavy lifting, but I can imagine there is a magic solution for that where one of the living ppl can rotate the burden around while letting Verso RIP.||

||Ulimately, the choice is kinda video gamey way of making decisions have some value. Because if it was real world, both Verso and Maelle would get laughed at for pretending their nonsensical solutions are the only options available.||

||I do think they did my girls, Lune and Sciel, dirty at the end. But hey, maybe Maelle can paint them into a new canvas once she goes through rehab or something.||

||Not to mention Monoco and Esquie.||

[somber sonnet]

watched a streamer finish e33 the other day. half way through their playthrough they got that self difficulty balance patch. limited their own damage to 9,999 and doubled the enemies HP on expert difficulty lvl 80 something and it was a really good balance

[lucid epoch]

Amazing patch, literally all that was asked for

don't want to get spoiled; is there a release date announced or is it just content?

[somber sonnet]

just shows content

i assume the update is out now though

[lucid epoch]

https://youtu.be/hMtp5X57Xgw

Most in depth exploration of the ending I've seen

[summer oasis]

Oh, my relaxation game just got a lot more relaxing.

[fast tree]

octopath traveler

maybe i shouldn't have started with ophilia

my friend said she has the worst story out of everyone

i mean i haven't played it much yet but im still gonna start with her and make my way down to cyrus

but so far, im doing his backstory

they want him badly

i do like his story so far though

[lucid epoch]

Love the story

[lucid epoch]

Best town theme tho

Love flamesgrace

I started with cyrus

Olberic is my fav tho

Primrose is just female anime MC energy

Love her for that

[fast tree]

honestly right now

this is making me excited for 2 lol

cause this is pretty good and if 2 is better than it should be good

also characters aren't really involved in each others stories are they?

like you join parties but do they interact with each other

[lucid epoch]

Not in the story specifically, but side missions, endgame, and walking around

There's more party interactions in 2

It just comes with part of the territory because you're free to play whoever story first to completion before you even touch another characters if you wanted to

That would be writing so many variations on stories if they were to do that

[fast tree]

therese is kind of stupid...

alls wells thats ends wells

[fast tree]

haanit or olberic

i might just go for haanit first because im going to have to go through the merchant before i get to him anyways

[summer oasis]

Hades 2 extreme measures is kinda great.

[somber sonnet]

is that from the new update?

[summer oasis]

Ye

[fast tree]

partitio is a big idealist

[fast tree]

I should've sold the ore dude

free 2000 but i kept it cause i was stupid

[lucid epoch]

what the heck you're on octopath 2 already?

[fast tree]

no im playing both at the same time

[lucid epoch]

partitio is just a ray of sunshine

matches tressa

[fast tree]

i like him so far

hes fun

tbh i kind of see why they say 2 is better than 1 already

[lucid epoch]

They did improve a lot on the quality of life

But I play the game really for the story and vibes which are pretty much head-to-head with both games, I don't think I can place one game above the other when it comes to music, vibes, and story

[fast tree]

hikari is fun

[fast tree]

yeah that was a good backstory

[fast tree]

im a lot more interested in these characters from the get go

i think its also cause orphilia just had a weak story

or her start was weak atleast

castti time

[fast tree]

ngl all the townspeople better beg for forgiveness cause i wouldn't have healed any of them

i wonder how they got sick...

In terms of story I just think hikari is done better

[lucid epoch]

Damn you're fast af wtf

[fast tree]

Just from first impressions

[lucid epoch]

Ah not done yet

Gotcha

[fast tree]

I think olberic story is cool, I just think I like the shonen story more

Maybe that changes as I play both

[lucid epoch]

Always possible

So hikaris your fav so far?

How are you switching between two games

[fast tree]

I switch games as I collect characters

[fast tree]

Also no

[lucid epoch]

Unique approach

[lucid epoch]

Who is it

[fast tree]

Sorry driving one sec

[lucid epoch]

Is it partitio

[fast tree]

Yes

Ok wait I’m home

Auto correct is killing me

[lucid epoch]

I love partitio

[fast tree]

If I needed to play 1 to understand 2s story then I would’ve played them In order

But there’s no harm I think

[lucid epoch]

Castii is up there too in terms of my fav

[lucid epoch]

There is kind of. Endgame stuff

[fast tree]

She’s pretty good so far

[lucid epoch]

But you'll understand everything going on. It's more like nods and holy shit reference types of moments

[fast tree]

I stopped playing her story last night cause it was like 3

[fast tree]

I’ll try to finish 1 first then

[lucid epoch]

It's minor when it comes to each character's story

It's more so a bringing it all together kinda thing that only matters after you finish every characters story in octopath 2

[fast tree]

||yo that glitch screen when you inquire about malaya though? ||

[lucid epoch]

||castii 🔥||

[fast tree]

Agnea is the real idealist sorry portitio

step aside

[lucid epoch]

[fast tree]

are there ages listed anywhere? cause i saw somewhere that Osvald is 38

and i don't really believe that

[lucid epoch]

not in game but through official sites

lol why not

he seems the age

[fast tree]

i thought dude was like 40s-50s cause they said he had a wife and kids

so i just assumed dude was done with life

[lucid epoch]

lol his daughter is p young

prison ages you

[fast tree]

i forgot

the game said like 1000 days or something that hes been in prison since they died

[lucid epoch]

yeah that shit prolly makes u look depressed af

i should've finished mothers side first

[fast tree]

@lucid epoch prediction time, ||crick in temenos story is definitely the actual villain ||

[lucid epoch]

Interesting, what makes u say that

[fast tree]

ive read too much stuff that have "hidden twists" so i just assume everyone is gonna betray the mc until the end of the story

[lucid epoch]

||too pure for this world||

[fast tree]

also i ended up finishing ochette first cause i thought she had 5 chapters

[fast tree]

partitio had a 10/10 story

i liked ochettes too, the ending was really nice

i didn't like capturing all the beasts but it was still good, like a good 8.5/10

agnea was like a 7-8/10

i think a few of her parts were kind of boring

the ending was great

[fast tree]

temenos was good, like 9/10

10/10 character and story

[fast tree]

im not a fan of osvald

his story was good

but he felt like an absent father till the very end

hes written in a way that shows he loves her though

is bazaar still alive and well?

[hot dune]

ive heard only bad

very recently they decided to move to steam and charge players 45$ to buy it, even if you originally played the game for free

also characters are 20$ and you cant use the gems you earned from playing like you used to

[willow monolith]

what

[hot dune]

yea

this is supposedly to remove microtransactions like the subscription shit

but

people are still like REALLY mad lmao

[somber sonnet]

it takes everything i have not to listen to hades 2 ost so i can experience it for the first time when the full game releases

[somber sonnet]

video i came across has it worse than this. if you bought a founders pack or w/e you still need to buy it on steam

[hot dune]

actually i was a bit wrong, people who already had an account before the announcement can stick to the original launcher (which still sucks cause you need a whole launcher for one game)

theres no difference between the tempo launcher and steam client as well

its also gonna be 20$ for the new character + game on launch for a couple days, then go back to 45$ for base game + 20$ per character release

that was announced after all the backlash, so maybe its a sign theyre listening to the complaints and something good will come out of it

but reynad is one stubborn bastard so who knows

[lucid epoch]

i had like 100 ranked tickets lmao

decided to buy a few cosmetics

[fast tree]

@honest pulsar if I buy you vampire survivors will you play it

Do you use external devices to play it on ur phone

or do u just use only the phone itself

You don't need any on steam link since it's just mouse movements which are done with ur fingers

[summer oasis]

I got him. I got ||Simon||. He ded. Took like 2 hrs every day for the past 3 days.

[somber sonnet]

i thought you finished that when you quit originally

[summer oasis]

No. He was the last guy standing.

[lucid epoch]

you must have the long combo timing engrained into you

[summer oasis]

Holy shit, yes.

12 12 123456 12

I had the phase 3 almost down too. But he ded before that.

[somber sonnet]

i loved watching people react to that fight

[lucid epoch]

i think it took similar time for me

like couple few hour sessions over a few days

when i did the parry only one

[summer oasis]

The plan was to ||fortune fury, mark enhanced, burn affinity buffed gommage him like 2 times and do a sky break inbetween to buffer the damage and minimize time in phase 3. Monoco got the last hit||

The plan worked with varying degrees of success.

[lucid epoch]

||sky break does surprisingly great damage||

[summer oasis]

One time I lost track of how buffed Maelle (I forget the inverted affinity + death door buff boosting her output by another 100 percent) was and bought him down to P3 threshold in a single ||gommage. That didnt' go well coz verso and monoco damage was shit and their speed was really bad. So, Simon was swinging like 5 times for every single turn.||

[summer oasis]

Very good buffer gradient attack in this fight. It does decent damage, but not enough to breach the p3 threshold. Also mild scaling due to how it works.

All set put in so much work. Even my main party was slow and Maelle was the slowest of the lot. All set, intervention and fortune fury did all the heavy lifting in that fight.

Lune was pretty self sustaining, but Maelle required a lot of hand holding.

I think I could have built the party better, but solving the fight with the resources I had was fun.

I hope this wins goty. This was the most fun I have had in a game in a while.

[somber sonnet]

i hope it wins. the other contender is death stranding

even though id like kcd2 to win, i think its too niche

[somber sonnet]

streamer i follow has found THAT boss in e33. extremely under leveled for it. does like 1.5% damage to his hp bar per attack. refuses to leave and its been 3 streams at like 20 hours total of just attempts on the boss

[summer oasis]

Oh lol

Who?

[somber sonnet]

peeve

he swapped over to a sponsor poe2 stream

[summer oasis]

lol peaked at his first attempt. ||Simon|| gets like 3 turns everytime gets to play. So, this ain't gonna end well.

[summer oasis]

Trying to do the fight without cheater or second chance for your first time around is just a massive waste of time. You get to see like the problem attacks once every 10 mins between attempts and just learning it inefficiently.

[somber sonnet]

did you see his attempts from today

[summer oasis]

nope.

[somber sonnet]

he is determined to do this boss this way before silksong comes out

which is cheater btw? is it the double turn?

I don't know whether you have heard the english version of lullaby of woe. But that's the french version by the E33 singer. She is good.

[somber sonnet]

checked in on that streamer doing that boss i told you about sherlock, hes gotten to phase 3 numerous times now

[somber sonnet]

@summer oasis i checked the vod for today, he did it

[summer oasis]

Ok, not hit this time.

Fewer parries because high roll roulette roll on Gommage.

But doing this on the edge with no second chance, no imr, no cheater and no base shield is way harder.

It's the last mile problem.

It's easier to do this while allowing for like 1/2 mistakes. Doing it with no mistakes takes a bit.

Gonna try this with a no gommage constraint next.

This is probably my favorite boss in the game.

Clea is maybe a close second.

The sheer diversity of attacks that you have to parry makes it more fun than Simon.

[somber sonnet]

congrats
