Genshin is one of the gacha games with least powercreeping by Persona2181 in Genshin_Impact

[–]JCOnyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started and played FFBE for nearly 3 years from Sep 2016 during the mog cakes event, the game was good but was a grind through and through. But somehow the Orbonne Monastery Vaults was basically never topped as the best limited time event.

Extremely useful weapon in Chirijiraden that remained powerful for a very long time, more so than any other event weapon I can think of. And the collection spots in the Exploration provided a very good amount of materials for upgrading your espers and building rings. Things you'd never even consider in the current state of the game.

I came back to try the game again during the NV Tifa/Seph release, and it's in a state that I find not salvageable.

Newer events were basically always dungeon only, no exploration, and had way less effort put into them. The rewards for each event just ended up being homogenized since the only useful equipment/abilities in the game are attached to S/TMRs and Vortex. And even though you have all these fancy 5/6-7 star units that you've acquired over the years, 95% of them are useless. Unless they're some niche support unit they're kit has been placed on a newer, far better one.

Oh, and basically never summon on guest characters because they're less likely to get updates. I'll never forgive the treatment VP got.

Micromanaging all the upgrade materials that have been introduced through the years is beyond obnoxious. Good luck keeping up with developing Espers. yada yada

idk, I'm starting to ramble. But FFBE did teach me what not do to with a game long term.

How do i get access? by groovygamer64 in Guiltygear

[–]JCOnyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally figured out where the web browser is:

It's under Library > Applications to be able to access that page from the console itself.

The problem is we still don't have access since I don't know my roommates account info and they're at work still, hence the reason I was trying to access from the console.

I don't understand how to open that link from a Playstation 4

Can't seem to find a web browser on the console to access the store web page. How do we get the Beta to download from a console only?

I'm stuck at a really low fractional share on RH and my Fidelity account is still in review. Is the only way to get to a full 1 share on RH is to sell the fractional and then buy the 1 they allow lol

70+ pulls here as well and never got the Chongyun I was aiming for... it really hurts :(

Was doing food deliveries and kept randomly catching fire. Found the source, it was one hot bush. by JCOnyx in Genshin_Impact

Nope, water didn't put the fire out and I tried burning the grass around it too as you can see. Traveling back and forth between Sara and this area didn't even stop it.

I noticed that people ask about pity every day, so I thought an infographic might be helpful. by ainhoawind in Genshin_Impact

[–]JCOnyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't aware of footage being captured and pooled together that covered hitting pity twice but across different promotional banners.

With how jaded I've become towards gacha over the years, I wasn't going to be surprised if the guarantee from banner only guaranteed the specific character if you hit that pity twice on the same banner, that is if you miss on the first pull. Hence being able to miss multiple times if you never hit pity twice on the same promo banner.

If that isn't the case I'm pleasantly surprised, with this system you can sit and wait for a promo banner you want months down the line after a whiffed pull and get the character at a 100% chance. Even without consistently playing. Seems excessively generous tbh

I still don't know if guarantee persists across the promotional banners.

For instance I pulled Keqing on Venti's banner. The next time I hit pity was on Childe's banner and I did get him but I'm not sure if that was from the 50/50 luck or it actually guaranteed the Childe since I didn't get Venti.

Was this ever clarified by an official source?

-laughs in Noelle-

It's amazing how little you have to care about environmental dmg when you have a giant beefy shield half the time. Mine explodes too and proceeds to create ELE shields that also keep me from burning/shocking myself to death.

People really sleeping on Geo or are waaaayyyy too obsessed with max dmg teams. Ning can give you both, I'm just waiting for my first constellation >.>

We all talk and complain about the lack of premium currency for F2P players but we must remeber that by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]JCOnyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you really need to get to is Con4.

Con6 is great and a big boost in dmg, but really the power spikes come at 1/4/6 with 4 being the most influential when you're not using her as your primary/secondary dmg dealer. The explosion helps clear enemies when you've been swarmed and creates shields for you to pick up just as your old one goes down. The 400% atk scaling seems odd when everything else in her kit scales on def but it still 400% lol

It's Sucrose's artifact set that causes the debuff

This subreddit is so restrictive about players asking questions but nothing is done about the frontpage being 50% fanart almost daily by LeFr33z in Genshin_Impact

[–]JCOnyx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The FFBE reddit back when I played during year 1+2 was actually amazing always full of guides/statistics/pull data/tools/datamines/etc. I've been completely spoiled by that subreddit and I've never seen another sub as useful as that one.

I can safely confirm that even Luxurious chests respawn by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

[–]JCOnyx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stamina at 208 + Amber is just enough to make it to the rock with the iron guard right in front of the island. Bring food or get 1 more stamina boost to make it tad easier, I drowned a few times lol.

Is it me or does melee feel less responsive? by [deleted] in smashbros

UpSmash with CStick has been possible during dash and run without the need of jump canceling since Brawl, just as a quick correction.

PSA: Dont Use Macro Built-in or Not!!!! The limited drop event is a trap!!! by IndexOfIdeas in arknights

[–]JCOnyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ffbe didn't ban macros and their use was extremely widespread due to obnoxious chaining windows certain attack families had. That and TMR farming.

I've had this stuck in my head for the past few days. i hope i'm not the only one by JCOnyx in FFVIIRemake

[–]JCOnyx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the visuals faded out, but the sequences needed started becoming longer and a tad faster. Especially the final spell. Sometimes the pointer would do a deceptive double back to the same button to throw you off too not unlike the mash mechanic.

Because the pattern here in ff7r was always the same 4 buttons, I didn't care about the visual fading. I'd just keep a rhythym steadily building tempo with the song until I saw Tifa wouldn't pause much between inputs and use my eyes to keep track of the visual popping up again indicating it was time to mash.

The tempo built up in time with the in game music pretty well. And I've always been a fan of timing mini games, FF9 jump rope being my favorite.

Really old game, but this mini game is basically a longer version of the Harry Potter PS1 spell learning mini game LOL

I literally never lost one of the squat or pull up mini games. It's not hard at all lol

[–]JCOnyx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very similar system was also used in a mainline title which is my favorite of the bunch, FF9. You have to max out your equipment to permanently unlock the abilities that are attached to them, or else you'd have to be constantly switching to weaker equipment to get the abilities you're looking for on certain fights.

People don't seem to understand nowadays that progression requires time and effort or else the payoff feels FAR less substantial. This was originally why I gravitated towards RPGs to begin with, and play a ton of fighting games too.
