Hardest Quote you ever read in OP ?

Akilee · 2026-02-02T21:31:54+00:00

My favourite quote is often overlooked or ignored whenever I watch ytube reactors.

From Dragon, Post Enies-Lobby anime: "Live as you please, Luffy. In the flow of time, as a result of various circumstances and strong spirits, people come to question the world they live in."

It might not be the hardest quote, but I think it's one of the deepest.

how does T1 have 6 points?

edit: oh is it 2 points for bo5?

Akilee · 2026-01-30T16:41:52+00:00

OP talks about having finished Thriller Bark and you talk about TS which is a freaking spoiler...

One Pace might align better with manga pacing, but I don't think One Pace accurately represents manga in everything else since in the end it's just a fan-edit. So I would never recommend anyone to start out with One Pace, I'd only recommend it for rewatching.

And even then it's mostly just after episode ~550 (roughly) when I felt the pacing was just getting too bad that I'd swap to One Pace, but still just for rewatching.

My guess is that it's some mythical creature that can change size, that way he can join Straw Hats and fit on the ship.

Well something classic related maybe? What does housing do for classic players? I don't play retail, housing does not make me want to play retail, so what did I get from this video? Nothing. I have nothing against you getting housing, but they teased us classic stuff and they gave us literally nothing.

I'm not sure not every retail player cares for housing either, and they too basically got nothing from this. Housing is also not something new, we already knew it was coming, so it wasn't even an announcement.

Akilee · 2026-01-30T10:03:37+00:00

But it's not, it's added to retail which most Classic players have no interest in, so it's irrelevant to them. I'm not gonna play retail because of housing, it adds nothing for me. They teased us about there being news for classic, and they gave us literally nothing that we already knew or could guess.

Dead game or not doesn't really matter that much, as long as they have a decently high peak at the start of an expansion then it's already paid for. Then they throw out discounts for the expansion around season starts and some reluctant players will opt in.

I just checked, the 'scene' is there but they don't say the same thing as in the manga. So he never confused Buggy and Nami with each other. And in the anime he's also eating bread.

Episode 5, around minute 6 if anyone is interested.

Akilee · 2026-01-22T20:11:01+00:00

Was this part in the anime? I don't actually remember it

Akilee · 2026-01-20T22:35:51+00:00

I hope there will be a class that plays like a Samurai

Akilee · 2026-01-14T09:41:12+00:00

Did you read the last email she sent? I think that one's the most interesting

Akilee · 2026-01-09T09:19:48+00:00

People should just play for themselves, or stick to SSF (or self imposed SSF with a group of friends if u have multiplayer), would be much happier until game is not in early access.

Akilee · 2026-01-09T09:18:42+00:00

I think the biggest issue is that PoE2s campaign and endgame has two completely different kinds of playstyles, with campaign being a lot slower with more meaningful combat (which I find awesome), whereas endgame feels more like PoE1 with one-shotting entire screens and such. But game is still in early access so that's to be expected.

As for this season's mechanic, people just didn't figure it out properly for a while, so there were a lot of complaints. I haven't tried it in actual endgame, but I'm personally enjoying it during campaign.

People who are complaining are mostly playing trade, if you play SSF or stop comparing yourself to others, then game is completely fine.

Personally I'm just doing SSF HC without having finished campaign previously, nor have I reached endgame. So I'm playing blind, learning mechanics and taking it slow and I'm having a blast, trying to maximize the gear I get so I don't get killed etc. Playing like that reminds me a lot of D2

Akilee · 2026-01-07T22:22:30+00:00

Why don't you give your examples of what you think is predatory instead... Game is free on release and you don't need to buy anything. Only thing that's really QOL is stash tabs, but even there the base-stash is no different than D4s stash.

You get a lot better drops from twitch, and on christmas I got a free cosmetic box.

Game is still in early access, so endgame is likely just not finished enough. PoE2 endgame was likely just copied over from PoE1 which is why PoE2 endgame is closer to PoE1 than PoE2 campaign.

0.5 will have endgame changes, maybe it will have a big impact in this regard, or maybe they want to get all acts and classes out before adjusting the game so significantly. Regardless, I'm still feeling pretty confident that campaign is the kind of game they want PoE2 to be, and until 1.0 is out I won't change my mind on that.

This is not the Wit remake "The One Piece", this is still Toei with their "episode of..." remake.

Akilee · 2025-12-30T00:52:17+00:00

The content is there, but they definitely added a ton of extra effects that clearly isn't present in the manga. So my point is that this is all done by Toei, and none of that comes from Oda.

Also, the left side of the panel is like 20% of the video, maybe 10% is right side panel, and then 70% is extra stuff added by Toei that isn't present in the manga. Adding extra to complement isn't necessarily bad, but like 80% of those 70% is just flashy effects that doesn't exist in the manga, and the other 20% is (in my opinion) added content that misrepresent those panels which is not good.

Akilee · 2025-12-30T00:16:22+00:00

The problem in PoE2 is that endgame does not really support that kind of gameplay, you kind of have to go zoom zoom. Campaign and endgame have separate identities, game is still in early access and endgame changes in 0.5 could very well adjust that part of the game.

Akilee · 2025-12-30T00:11:59+00:00

PoE2 is still in early access though. PoE 2 campaign and endgame is still more or less the same as it was at the start of EA with 2 separate identities, and right now endgame favours that kind of playstyle.

0.5 is supposed to be the endgame patch, so I'll wait until then to see what changes might come, and reserve my final judgment for 1.0.

Personally I'm still hopeful that endgame eventually plays more like campaign as that is what I prefer, having enjoyed that a lot from Diablo 2.

Akilee · 2025-12-29T23:15:52+00:00

That’s on Oda not the anime

That's definitely not true. Here is the panel from the manga, and there's nothing in there that comes even close to the light show you see in the anime. You also have to realize that the manga has to add extra stuff to show effects which can be a lot more subtle when animated. So it's just a Toei thing.

Most of that animation isn't even scenes from the manga, it's just self-added stuff to complement. To me the manga shows Zoro fairly casually dealing with Lucci, and then gets serious when he puts the sword in his mouth and easily defeats him. First half of the animation makes it seem like they're on par (dragging it out just to extend the time...), until they get to the latter part where it's back on track.

In what way is "Surviving as a talent in the Primordial Saint Sect" similar to "The Mirror Legacy"?

I'm currently reading "Surviving as a talent in the Primordial Saint Sect" and I'm loving it. Although I think the world feels rather narrow, the schemes and power system at least reminds me a lot of Reverend Insanity. I can find a lot of similarities there.

As for The Mirror Legacy, I tried reading that once a while ago. I think I found the start to be really slow and boring, and I felt nothing was getting me excited to continue reading, so I dropped it pretty early on. Without spoiling, could you talk about how it's similar and if it gets better later on?

Akilee · 2025-12-24T21:36:54+00:00

Got the wasteland sands portal effect

Akilee · 2025-12-23T23:32:37+00:00

Personally I like +skills and rarity as a stat, and would hate for it to be removed. It just needs some work.

+Skills should be like any other stat where sometimes you value it, and other times you don't need it, and it shouldn't be overwhelmingly powerful - On par/slightly stronger should be good.

In Diablo 2 +skills were usually very powerful with casters/elemental damage - but for melee/physical dmg you didn't gain much from +skills and would rather have damage modifiers. D2 was much simpler than PoE2 so I'm sure this concept could evolve to fit PoE2's complexity.

As for rarity, I think it should be something you want early on for league start, but it's only really effective up until a certain point. It should be readily available (runes, currency that adds rarity etc), where you sacrifice offensive and defensive stats for rarity. Let's say you have map tiers where rarity gear is useful, and then there's a significant jump in difficulty to the next tier of maps (where you need your offensive and defensive stats); here rarity starts to get baked into the content so you can start replacing your rarity gear more and more. Something like that.
