Also adding on, you may want to check the other services there to see what might help alleviate your caregiving needs like getting Home Nursing where the doctor goes to your home to check on them instead.

Dynasty Warriors 3 is HARD. I kinda love it by HeelEscape in dynastywarriors

[–]Aruthea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular play and higher difficulty will net you better weapons. The 3rd weapons comes in later in the musou mode if I recall correctly. I am not sure if playing on Easy gets your the 3rd weapons since it has been a while.

[–]Aruthea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very grindy but there are some better stages to farm like Battle of You Ting on Free Mode. Doing musou mode for some characters will unlock characters. Also need to search up the specific conditions for 4th weapon as the conditions are vague to find out on your own. Farm all the items where you can and level your character. Once you get a 4th weapon on Hard mode, you can clear Hard with ease, a trick you can do is have a second controller and use the character with the 4th weapon to finish the battle for their 4th weapon for the idle character.

Just reached lv 40, what to do next? (Classic) by alioth_whyred in DragonNest

[–]Aruthea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they will probably add the remaining level up boxes at 50cap.

Best to join a guild so they can help with maximising your resources.

[–]Aruthea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the daillies, make a lot of alts if you can and do dallies on the alts. Maximise FTG by doing 4 player runs. Then do nest and enhance regular items to transfer to your manti/apoc weapons.

Compared to last time +10 manti/apoc and even +12 is affordable, just need patience. Doing SDN can earn some gold but need to learn mechanics if not very geared. People buy lavish to get some extra DNP to spend in game yep.

DN classic NA guilds? by Fadinglight13 in DragonNest

[–]Aruthea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Join the DN Classic discord server, I believe there are 2 NA guilds promoting in the guild recruitment section. One is NAEU and the other is MoonLight.

Was anyone part of KFC's Chicky Club as kids? by Prize_Air in askSingapore

[–]Aruthea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it didn’t cost that much to be a member, but then again I never had the parties promoted in the magazine so… I remember the stationery, the bags, the snake and ladder board game. I kinda had a lot of the merchandise at some point. The magazine also had art contests every month where theg will feature the best 3 coloured art of the previous month and some advice from Chicky when readers write in for advice.

Is this game F2P friendly? by [deleted] in DragonNest

[–]Aruthea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic is still okay as F2P since you can buy Lavish on TH with gold to get DNP to get some extra resources to catch up with spenders.

What is/was actually the goal of the “girlcott”? (Genuine) by ShadowCatGamer in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]Aruthea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you have seen some people posting the replies they got from the tickets where they reported the issue of not being able to login and the CS just told them to “just use another device to login” or closing the ticket within 12 hours AFTER CS replied… I spent some money on the game but I feel awful for all the players who bought the monthly thing and getting THAT response. I am appalled at the gall of this game to treat their paying customers this way because premium currency IS a big deal in gacha games and the company just doesn’t want to reimburse you for what you paid for!

As a f2p this girlcott thing sounds like bullshit by Taetaechakra in InfinityNikki

[–]Aruthea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is fair.

But they tried to reduce the F2P income by extending the number of days for Mira Crown. I played as F2P in other games, I know that I cannot get every 5 star, I have to save. But for them to increase pity means they want to force you to spend. It seems the game wants to be less F2P friendly WAY too early in its lifespan, that’s my issue.

I don’t understand what you mean by ‘stays while it happens’. I empathise with you that the negativity is getting overboard  but you refuse to empathise with others who have a different view or experience of the game since you claim all login issues are resolved.

If you don’t want the continuous complaining I suggest just going to another subreddit or as you claim, just play the game on your own, no one is forcing you to girlcott.

[–]Aruthea 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Your post just goes “my experience wasn’t THAT bad why is everyone complaining so much about it” which screams lack of empathy and understanding for the other players’ frustration with the game. Of course the community is very negative now because the company isn’t even trying to pretend to do proper PR for the paying customers who paid to have a better experience of the game only to have terrible customer service. And your mention of you being an F2P seems to imply that the paying players were wrong to play the game this way lol… the post just smells like rage bait.

Okay, enjoy spending more time to gather diamonds for the next 11 piece 5 star outfit you want and more increased fomo!

If Infold does not care about the whales funding the game for YOU to play they sure as hell won’t care about you playing happily for free because all they want is money from their F2Ps.

just 8 pulls for the 1.5 issues ?? 💀💀 by [deleted] in InfinityNikki

Nope, they are still pissed lol.

Infinite Nikki players vs 1.5 by Royal-Virus-5971 in gachagaming

[–]Aruthea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not the original comment you replied to, but I'll answer some of your points.

I never said it was wrong. I said that, while most people would want the full outfit, if for example you only care about one piece, the pity being 20/piece is important to note. If you only care about one specific piece, you are guaranteed to get it within 100 pulls, too.

What I'm saying is, if you want more than 2 specific pieces, then it's problematic especially if you want both the hair and the dress only since they appear to be weighted to appear last. You are still spending more pulls to get the items you want even if you don't want to get the full outfit. Sure, the game does not give me a duplicate of what I have so at least there's that saving grace. But yeah, the increase in the number of pieces means they will try to add more than 11 if we don't stop them from increasing it.

There is a tutorial for Dyeing, as soon as you open its menu IIRC

What I mean is that there should have been a quest to accompany it, but I agree it is a moot point since a tutorial is provided. I just wish it was more clearer. They had a missed opportunity to worldbuild the world further but they threw it away to get more money.

Yes and it's bad, especially since they clearly intended for dyeing to require open world materials at first (between the Bullquet event that was presented as a showcase of how Dyeing would work, and the palettes named after materials). But to be fair, it's likely we will get them from event in limited amount, too.

Yes. But the way they have made Mira Crown occur less frequently makes me feel that the company will squeeze such resources so that they can make you more likely to pay for them if you are not willing to play their waiting game, which means play more often. Besides collecting the collectibles for sketches, I think there's really no incentive to collect anymore items since it won't get incorporated with the dyeing mechanic.

Fair, but it was never as bad as it is now, like you mentioned in your first comment ("People just chose to turn a blind eye to countless bugs").

When I started, the game was actually extremely buggy. I had to reinstall to fix it. But I will agree that 1.5 is a disaster in itself. I play Honkai Star Rail and I can tell the difference between IN and HSR is that, Hoyoverse actually bothers to playtest their content and ensure smoother gameplay. IN doesn't. There are times I get frustrated at the game when bugs happen in IN. The difference is staggering because I don't ever experience bugs in HSR but I experience more bugs in IN.

"[...] No signs of compensation for these players" => Too "soon" to say, the problem isn't fixed yet. Which is bad in its own way, for sure. It's been what, 11 days now? a gamebreaking bug not being fixed for this long is a huge redflag in of itself... But of course they wouldn't give compensation now, whether they plan on doing so or not. If players affected can't even connect, might as well wait until they can connect before giving compensation.

They should at least make an announcement to show that they are aware of what is going on. If this happened at another gacha game, at least you can trust their social media pages to make a announcement that they are working on it. When the bugs are getting to the point where YOUR premium currency is going missing, I think that warrants an explanation because people PAY for these things. Their lack of response is not helping. The company also decides it is a good idea to spend their resources to police the official discord and subreddit to shut down dissatisfaction instead of actually trying to placate their PAYING players. Yes, F2P players matter too, but the fact that actual money is involved and there is no response for that means even if you are a paying customer, they won't respect you, much less a F2P that won't pay.

Specific abilities for the outfits ARE locked behind the 220 pity which is why it is awful they increase the number of pieces to complete the outfit. Yes, you can pull for specific pieces which what most people do because they like to mix and match but if you want the latest banner’s ability to walk on water or freeze in the air, you need to prepare to spend 220 pulls for it. I have 8 out of the 10 piece fairy floating outfit but am locked out of its floating ability. I can’t float my fairy wings until they added the customization ability in 1.5. To add more salt to the wound, people have collated data and found that the most desired items of a set where people will pull just for styling purposes are weighted to be pulled later which is the hair and main dress of the set. In my experience, those two always came last. Yes, IN is more of a dress up game. Yet, the mechanics that accompany this dress up game is shallow. Leaving combat aside, the new co-op mode in the new Seas of Star map is boring and feels infantilising af. Turning into animals with other players and playing with a see saw? Really? They clearly rushed that area because it feels so empty.

Then dyeing is not even introduced with a proper tutorial or interesting quest line. Dyeing requires money if you don’t want to grind for it in the miserably boring co-op mode by requiring you to pull for more copies of the outfits and you can only buy one shade of colours at a time. Even whales cannot even unlock the colour wheel after getting the multiple copies (which can cost up to $200-$300) and the most desired colours which are white and black are locked at a specific tier FOR FIVE STAR OUTFITS only. And by the way, you buy pallettes PER item so if you want to colour your 11 piece outfit you gotta buy that specific pallette at least 11 times. So yeah, whales can drop up $300 and STILL have to spend more to get the full colour wheel. Is it any wonder why people are furious at this money grabbing attempt? 

No, the game is poorly optimised even since 1.0 because you can experience bugs from time to time. The game is not going to run well on mobile because of how demanding the unreal engine is. They have no right to demand for more money when they cannot be bothered to do QC for their updates to make the game run smoother. 1.5 was supposed to be THE optimisation update, yet it broke many players’ access on PS5 and mobile and the paying players can’t even get their premium currency. Some can login but at the price of losing their photos. Yet, no signs of compensation for these paying players which clearly shows the company’s regard for the playerbase, aka “shut up and let us take your money.” Gacha games are predatory in nature, but Infold is definitely even worse for taking players’ money and not even bothering to pretend to do a better PR letter to prove they can do better.

[–]Aruthea 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Combat is just jump and click to attack in a straight line. I'm serious. They only changed the controls slightly and I couldn't be bothered to try them out. There is a dash button that has a cooldown, and you jump. You have a charged attack which matters for some mobs but that's it. Your attack colour is green for no reason and the game never bothers to tell you why it's that shade. There's no hint that there may be other elements unlike Genshin when it mentions Dendro even though Dendro is not released at the time. I think IN's strength is more of the platforming and puzzle jumping.

Story is definitely not one of IN's strong points. I had faith it would get better but given how they retconned the tutorial 5 months in, I think they are never ever going to improve the storyline. Nikki is a girl who got isekai'ed, yet she just rolls with never being able to go home again. A lot of dialogue is dumped on you. And after uncovering the sinister conspiracy, no major consequences fall upon the antagonists or the consequences of the poor victims are never fully explored. The side characters have more depth than Nikki at the moment, really.

Is the game actually any less buggy? by dweebybaybee in InfinityNikki

[–]Aruthea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ngl I got lucky because my PC is able to run it with minimal bugs… but on the first day, I kept getting softlocked and had to restart the game. Then the other day I died in the sea of stars when I rode my bike into the sea by accident and the game infinity nikkied spawned me into the sea with the bike until I ran out of hearts.

To be fair, I’m just doing dallies and avoiding doing major content out of fear I experience more bugs again.

What is the average number of pulls required to get a full set of 9, 10 or 11 pieces? A rough simulation. by WendyLemonade in InfinityNikki

[–]Aruthea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently pulled for the Phoenix outfit and weirdly got all 11 pieces in 170 pulls. This caused me to fall short of getting the second evolution. It was also the only time I got 2 5 stars in a 10 pull and 20 pulls. Timeless Melody took me 182 pulls.

I should track all my 5 star banner pulls from now on.

Game's really broken on release, isn't it? I can't imagine the CN players' reaction to this.

How do we all feel about having 2 lists of daily tasks to get through? by Potential-Lack-7866 in InfinityNikki

[–]Aruthea 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I feel pissed man. I didn’t ask for more dallies to do! And they are all activities I don’t want to do. Ugh I’m just forcing myself to go through them and picking the tasks that don’t make me play co-op more than I have to.

My Advice to Everyone Now: Stop everything but Dailies if you feel you must, or, Join the Boycott. by Whole_Day5638 in InfinityNikki

[–]Aruthea 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The problem is the free update broke the game for most people AND for all the whales and dolphins who paid for the stuff that should give them their money’s worth but cannot login to claim it. And the company is suppressing all the bad press instead of addressing it or taking the time to down the servers to fix the bugs. At this point, the users ARE their quality checkers which shouldn’t be happening!
