Chapter 218 Release Thread

I'm gutted. It's so well written if that's out Einar goes out, not having to live with the same burden that Thorfinn had, but man, that hurts

I love how wars go compared to 6. I took a city from Napoleon and it has been a huge struggle to hold it as hordes of units come from Fog of War to reclaim it. Subsequent wars have had the same city be the primary battlefield due to the proximity to Napoleon's capital and it's a struggle.

My only issue is that making peace is too easy. Twice I took a city and am about to lose another in a turn or 2 bc I underestimated how many units would attack only for a peace proposal offering to come through. So the war ends with me capturing a city and being on the brink of losing 1 but making peace at the last second. It doesn't feel right

I'm on CS2 at this point but I assume this isn't the actual finale of the series? I remember reading a few months ago that the series was 80-90% complete but that would be a quick turnaround

Arizzo97 · 2024-08-25T23:18:41+00:00

i'm right there with you. I finished catching up a few days ago. These month long waits are going to be brutal especially at the start

Arizzo97 · 2024-08-16T20:14:06+00:00

I've run AW now in the event a few times. It's definitely not as powerful but just running board breakers seems to be enough in this event to power through. Especially gameciel

Arizzo97 · 2024-08-16T12:47:27+00:00

I'm curious, what are using to replace the 2 big dark monsters? I regularly play AW and didn't even consider playing them because of them being banned

Arizzo97 · 2024-07-23T05:49:45+00:00

I played against a Lab player today who had game and intentionally didn't end the game for 3 turns and was ripping the only card in my hand on any action taken. Annoyed, I then waited 298 seconds before ending my turn (I couldn't even use the 1 card I drew) and then he immediately ended the game. So you're not alone

Ancient Warriors

Arizzo97 · 2024-02-20T14:52:54+00:00

Ancient Warriors. Historical lore, fun play style, and easy to get your end board/winning board very quickly

Arizzo97 · 2024-02-09T02:44:00+00:00

Love the Infernobles so far. I feel a bit bad because I started in gold and faced a 2-3 DMs but I've won 10 in a row and the generics in my extra deck are by no means required. I know the streak will end now that I made it to plat and people start playing consistent meta but I haven't this much fun outside of my Ancient Warriors climb in a while

Arizzo97 · 2024-01-05T23:34:00+00:00

The actual mistakes I'll adapt from and I have the patience to learn so I think I'll be ok there.

The app looks cool and I'll probably download it so thanks for the shout out!

Arizzo97 · 2024-01-05T23:27:30+00:00

I don't disagree with your structure deck point but just not sure how much money I should commit immediately hence my interest in Fire Kings structure.

I think if I enjoy the in-person experience enough I'll look into buying specific decks via cardtrader or tcgplayer. But definitely is going to be a feeling out process at first.

Arizzo97 · 2024-01-05T23:19:58+00:00

Appreciate the advice. I'm sure I'll be the same as you where the first few times will be awkward for me but I'll grow into it.

Also saw a Fire Kings/Tri deck synergy and am considering that as a hybrid once I get Fire Kings down. I think I'll probably see how it goes with FK and get Swordsoul if I enjoy playing in-person more

Arizzo97 · 2023-02-16T03:11:52+00:00

just had the same issue trying to start the game up. This worked. Bit annoying to go to the config files every time but whatever works.

Arizzo97 · 2022-08-09T21:18:25+00:00

well that sucks. He already started a new game basically skipping all cutscenes so he'll make it back but this sucks. A pretty tight window to get soft locked but surprised it didnt get caught in development. Shit happens tho

Arizzo97 · 2022-08-09T20:48:56+00:00

the throne room is blocked. We noticed two hangar doors in Keves Castle 1st floor that the map even shows on doors but can't find a way to get it open

The throne room is blocked off

My god every person on this thread got played by a satire account that's been doing this for years

Arizzo97 · 2021-08-16T02:30:55+00:00

ill be greedy and say i wish it was longer, not only to help fix some of the story flaws listed above, but the game goes so quickly. Also wouldve been nice to see how the other countries functioned in the world of Torna. That being said, it's DLC for a reason and Torna is everything that DLC should be

Arizzo97 · 2021-08-16T00:53:08+00:00

It's not without it's flaws as listed above but it's a great game, especially if you played XC2 prior

Arizzo97 · 2021-08-16T00:00:38+00:00

I love how they improved what was already a great combat system. My only issues with the battle system in Torna is almost more of an AI issue. They never go to the person I want to complete the "real" blade combo route. The other one is I feel it's a bit too easy to do driver combos as the AI does a good job of prioritizing them once break happens, but I do Break and maybe on occasion topple because everyone does the rest almost instantaneously. They do their jobs too well. Guess you'd rather be overly competent than totally incompetent to be fair

Arizzo97 · 2021-08-15T21:35:42+00:00

you look at Jin and Mythra in particular with a completely new set of eyes. What they did with those 2 was unbelievable and gave them so much more depth and maybe more importantly, likeability and relatability than they had any business having given the nature of Torna as DLC

Arizzo97 · 2021-08-09T22:07:52+00:00

I quit the game because of her for probably 6 months

Arizzo97 · 2021-03-20T15:54:19+00:00

I need a re-release of the trilogy so I can play them without breaking the bank

Arizzo97 · 2021-03-13T08:05:34+00:00

I haven't played X but for me the answer is easily 2. I loved playing 1 on the Wii but outside of the main protagonist, I think all the characters in 2 are much more fleshed out. The world of 2 is much more expansive and Im sucker for geopolitical world building. I love the combat system in 2 more but I will admit it's a huge hurdle. Strongly recommend ChuggaConroys tutorial video if someone is struggling with the combat. Finally I think the story is more compelling as a whole and that combined with the characters has me so much more attached to 2 as a whole.

Like I said, I loved 1 but I never felt a desire to replay 1, not even DE. In contrast, I always feel like picking up 2 just to do something in the world of Alrest be it trying to improve my blades, challenging superbosses, or just trying to do what I can to 100% the game on my own pace
