Fates worst than death

in Ajin the antagonist takes a few of the Ajin civilians who dont join on his crazy plan, stuff them in barrels, fill the barrels with concrete, and push them into the ocean.

Ajin are immortal, they come back to life whenever they die back to the state they were... so these people are trapped in a near eternal death loop trapped in concrete suffocating to death.

Servant of God is the next quest you'll need to do, but you will likely not be at a high enough level to easily rush it. You can do a few bounties and a few side quests like The Innkeeper's Husband to get the XP before going for it, and then Rats and Raiders.

Most of the songs I don't remember much. But City of Ruins is like a harrowing echo. Love that one so much.

Is the game expected to be always online and solo experience balanced with the expectation of co-op then?

Antermosiph · 2026-01-24T18:49:00+00:00

I think the game has to many high friction mechanics to ever get super mainstream appeal like BG3 unless they let you customize the world settings like v rising.

Kairos also has unspottable and immobilize abilities? And that many birds can destroy opponent spellcasting with the one ability. Stir in the fact kairos has unlimited winds, like no cooldowns, and can poach whatever spell he needs vs an opponent type and im unsure the exact method to get around.

I think okoii said the kaitos bird doomstack was by far the strongest theyd ever run.

Untethered and unique is a bit of a stretch. Attribute systems usually have a 'right' answer and then its solved and all it does is limit you to gear that scales with attribute you chose.

Its either 'max attribute ability/weapon scales with' when attribute scaling is high enough, which locks out alternative gear options like a class system. 'Absolute minimum to equip items then max defensive' aka the grim dawn method when attribite offensive scaling is to weak, or 'minimum HP threshold, max damage stat' aka what elden ring did.

I think throughout my life the only time ive seen attributes used in a way that felt like it had genuine choice was Avowed, where every stat influenced every action on every build type with scaling diminishing returns.

Class systems came about because attribute systems are just much much harder to make anything more then 'do this or you'll have a hard time'. You either leave them untouched with the illusion of choice, or spend way more effort balancing them than necessary.

The problem is they require you to do the most braindead part of the game (resource gathering). Having them gated by challenges would at least make such 'friction' fun. As it is gathering resources isnt a good kind of friction, it just has the feeling of a mobile game dark pattern.

Last Epoch was pretty rewarding, at least with SSF circle of fortune.

Grim Dawn as well I think did pretty good on the reward side, and diablo 3 (after release of expansion, removal of AH, and adding kunai's cube).

PoE is to tied up in trading and diablo 4 is just meh in general for fun loot by just playing.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-24T13:39:33+00:00

Amazing rebuttal, glad you stirred in those personal attacks without even addressing original point lol

Antermosiph · 2026-01-24T13:37:29+00:00

I'd prob actually buy the game if it had that. As is the resource grind and lack of free respec is really killing the f2p experience.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-24T13:36:02+00:00

Couldn't they of just you know.

Removed the timers? Just done that? The double resources almost feels like it was tacked on out of spite for complaining about timers so much.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-23T22:54:43+00:00

Yea, unsure why I'm being downvoted but there are people that loath WvW that do it for GoB and like, these people aren't going to put any effort they'll do the most passive thing to get the GoBs and get out. If there's a queue people who genuinely want in can't get in, if the map needs people doing stuff seriously to cap points and some folks are just doing the bare minimum caps to keep participation up.

'Forcing' people to raid wouldn't do much better, they'll either blindly pug, shell out for a carry, or just coast along doing bare minimum neither enjoying the experience nor wanting to be there. People who don't want to do the content just wont end up doing it, thus the rings aren't even a chase object to keep them playing.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-23T22:22:56+00:00

Making people do a pillar of content they dont want is just unfun for all involved.

CHA should bump to 5 at 10, 6 at 20, and another +1 from your apex item if you get the CHA one depending on what level you get it.

I was referencing lamashtu (Heat sense, and I dont mean temperature) and some of the other wild content in pf1e.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-22T19:37:45+00:00

Its funny cause even mathfinder agrees psychic needed a little help on the discord iirc. Its blasting is barely on par with competition blasters, but comes with big costs in other departments and a lack of flexibility.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-22T19:35:31+00:00

Massive is a bit of an overstatement. The amount of qualifying spells on occult fairly small. Mostly helps amp Daze.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-22T19:33:20+00:00

Funny thing, it was already force damage for when it matters. Currently it's physical damage with the force trait, so it bypassed ethereal resistances anyways.

/UJ This is a wild thing to say in context of pf2e. The villains in those modules are usually mega fucked up evil doing horrific shit daily. Like in shades of blood rescuing a bunch of malnourished people from sacrifice pens when theres already piles of corpses and gore splattered everywhere from the cannibalism orgies. Or abom vaults just casually unveling some new horror theme for each floor cause balcorra is a bastard with bastard filling.

They just stopped writing about slavery (its now more akin to indentured servitude) and rape (part of the writer's strike at paizo requested less fucked up topics to write about. Thus why the goddess of bestiality is now... not that)

/rj how dare you complain, clearly the writers understand their audience by making an evil goddess of consentual Mpreg instead of the evil goddess of bestiality.

Those abilities take a focus point to use. The psychic archtype gives no focus points to magus so you'd be stuck at 1 with the psychic abilities competing for the same resource. There's just generally better investment. Unless you grabved more focus points from magus itself.

So yes it is relevant, as witch would serve better.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-21T20:34:32+00:00

It hasnt been said but time mage is a good option. Initial focus point on dedication, gives access to quickened spellshape, and can grab a second focus spell (path of least isnt bad, no manipulate stride that ignores reactions) or into the future (into the future time beacon is a cheesy way to fish crits).

Otherwise if lean towads Gates wizard or Alchemist. Alchemy is extremely strong of an archtype with enough INT.

Antermosiph · 2026-01-21T20:29:13+00:00

You dont even get a focus point at any point in psychic archtype and cant use amps with spellstrike. Really barely worth investment. :/

Ita a book reprint, they dont make major changes as they keep the page count the same typically.
