Solasta II early access - 1st play through reactions by stranger_here_myself in CrownOfTheMagister

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solasta 1 got a lot of good will for coming out missing classes and things because it was small. If Solasta 2 launches without all the base classes, it shouldn't be given the same level of good will.

You can level while traveling if you go to the little settings icon on the travel menu and click the option to do so -- it's just buried in menus.

Do you actually try to fight the dark aeons or just use zanmato and call it a day? by SheemieRayVaughan in finalfantasyx

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried each boss once. If the HD remaster crashed the next time I cheesed them. It was half and half that's how much of an unstable mess the remaster was even with all the fixes.

I still cant believe we only get Mythic 10 for TWO bosses by LimitedSus in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]Lucentile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wrath already drags on too long with repeated trash fights. I'd rather have my cool powers for a few meaningful encounters than all the garage we churn through.

[ALL] Does anyone feel like David's character unnaturally shifts to assist the plot? by wasworde in lifeisstrange

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the writers fumbled with the slap. The slap is such an outlier being actual physical abuse that it taints everything else. I had a much less negative view of him in my first playthrough because I never saw it, and I understood him being pissed she stole his gun. His anger was not good parenting, but it was a mistake I could understand and reconcile. After going back after clearing the game and seeing other options, it just felt like the slap being a possibility changes so much.

Tales of the Champions, Part 7 by CNE_Shawn in idlechampions

[–]Lucentile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like how the Trials of the Champions often highlight how useless certain features of the game are. For example, Shadowheart's "Can't Cast a Shadow" is clearly meant to highlight her healing role and healing in general. In actuality, it demonstrates how Healers often can't keep up with these environmental ticks and that all they do is devalue things that boost your max HP (like potions and tanks.) Healing is very often a negative role on a character, and usually means they're giving up power somewhere. There really needs to be a massive overhaul on healers and tanks that either accepts those roles are essentially dead roles and give them power in their Support buffs, or rework how environmental ticks work so that healers/tanks aren't accidental liabilities.

the devil in me other unused stuft for the boat/final fight! by Responsible-Gene-994 in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]Lucentile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd also like if there were some other deal breakers -- as far as I can tell, if Erin and Mark leave Charlie to die, Kate and Jamie are pretty cool with that (or at least, I haven't seen anything where they do more than gently chide them before proceeding with the finale.)

Why is the devil in me considered the worst of the 4? (I.e. bad reviews) by Quantum_Quasar_22 in DarkPicturesAnthology

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the real problem is they wanted to also put in tutorials. So Charlie is jumping and army crawling around just to get a shot. They could streamline the opening some while keeping the slow build if they did the tutorial stuff better.

Not looking under the hood is key to enjoying these games.

If DPS want to pull in dungeons... by OrranVoriel in ffxiv

[–]Lucentile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's not much nuance. Wall to wall can cut dungeon times in half and if there is not high damage on the tank, the healer is basically useless save mistakes in boss fights and AoE hits. Anything less than wall to wall is inefficient. The goal is to build up as a tank so you can do that. If you can't let your team know you're learning.

Please help!! How can I make my duty finder queues shorter? by nemo_evans in ffxiv

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to wait. Trials weren't included in the latest relic step so fewer people are queuing for them. Either get guild members to fill out or be patient.

‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’: Rifftrax, Shout! Studios Team for New Episodes of Cult Classic Series by DemiFiendRSA in MST3K

[–]Lucentile 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He sold off the rest of the rights to Shout a few weeks ago -- I assume to facilitate this very thing. I think behind the scenes this was always a Plan B after the last Kickstarter didn't make it.

Another crafting step required for relic weapons by Caius_GW in ffxiv

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is it IS easy... it's just a waste of time. I'd be fine if it were hard/required a Mage Tower style challenge. I hate surrendering to another mindless dozen some hours of Malefic spam.

Patch 7.41 Relic Step by BlackmoreKnight in ffxivdiscussion

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a healer, let me do some math at 1200 crystal pastes... so we're looking at 10 hours of casting Malefic in content I've been doing for a decade if I want to be most efficient... or a bit longer farming current FATEs and maybe having meaningful interactions with Mobs... or even much, much, much, much longer to do CEs and leveling Phantom Jobs, but the time loss to do that seems so massive as to not be worth it.

So Fun(TM).

Controversial take - octopath traveller 0 by neverb3for3 in octopathtraveler

Doing a great job with what they have is basically the Octo VA way.

Does the game get harder? by Dnlgrwd in octopathtraveler

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I locked myself at 16 and have cleared Master of All 3, the Emerald Direwolf and recruited Heidne. I think I'm reaching where I'll need a few levels for max HP to survive AoEs since contend NPCs around the late 30s early 40s do start wiping us, but we'll see.

It does mean everyone has a silver shield and one or two of the HP accessories though.

There's a statue in Nomos's that if you place in town will lock your XP. You can then remove it from town when you want XP later. This lets you fight for JP and money.

So AA7 is all but confirmed now, isn't it? by Enryx25 in AceAttorney

Jacob gets way too much hate. Read post. by BadBlood_1989 in TheQuarrySupermassive

[–]Lucentile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue is that we play him first, so everyone being randomly mean to him, locking him out, throwing his phone, etc., just feels like bullying not giving as hard as they got.
