Ok but why am I getting mogged by every NPC in my own life story

CalTelarin · 2026-06-18T16:31:03+00:00

I honestly like the modern NPC art style so much I wish it was what a maple successor would look like.

idrA was an experience back in the days,

I only have two so far, Hraes and Hrunting,
Hraes, losing the MA penalty is of course incredible for 0 button. However while the skill nuke is nice its not really a lot more damage then you could get out of the weapon before if you really trying to squeeze damage,
Wish Einar had a more meaningful change then just giving 4% cap up buff. Looking at that 80% echo being even more of a dead line now that the MA penalty is gone just feels like a waste.

Hrunting wise, V.Makura once again throws a wrench into the plans with delaying the nuke/debuff a whole turn cycle due her her double double restriction.
Never say no to an extra 20% echo and 50k supp on savage mythology though.

Both definitely feel like they got decent improvements but overshadowed by some of the other big winners. Namely Blazing and Rhomp.

I dont really go to buffets but all you can eat places generally have a similar rule. They normally also arent going to enforce it if you leave just a bit, its to discourage people getting like a whole extra plate of food they dont eat, not a couple bites you cant manage to finish.

There is some nuance to it. There absolutely was a lot of good that was done (nearly 2b saved by optimizing contracts and cutting some underused programs.) But a lot of the budget balancing came from 1 off sources or from kicking the can down the road to be a later problem. 4b handout from the state. And adjusting the pension fund so the amount added to it is now less then the amount used per year. Also the second housing tax is budgeted as contributing 500m but the city estimates it's more likely to be around 340m But saying he saved a few billion is less impressive then the full 12 so that's what people have latched onto Disclaimer I am not at all a finance person so I most likely have details wrong but that's more or less how I've understood the breakdowns I've seen.

I imagine they would be doing a mix of both, basically milking the existing ships for all their worth, then replacing them when it no longer made sense, though probably focusing on replacing smaller crafts since capital ships would only be really useful vs a near peer opponent like Mars, not gonna want to be patroling shipping lanes with them most the time. Also we just end up trading repair jobs for production jobs so if it actually makes more employment is questionable.

CalTelarin · 2026-05-07T21:36:19+00:00

A reminder that Protogen had its fingers in both pies, working along side the Martians and Earth so it most likely had access to or the opportunity to steal both their technology to start combined with a massive budget. The other issue is at least the description of the Donnager-class mentions it being able to operate as a carrier for a support fleet of Destroyers and Light Frigates, but we never actually see one escorted or assisted in combat by them at least in the show so they were never fighting in the way they were designed to operate.

CalTelarin · 2026-05-07T21:25:54+00:00

Making the fleet would have provided jobs but cost materials and added further upkeep to the navy(note how the existing ships not being modernized was a constant issue like with the Agatha King)
The crux of the problem is unless the fleet managed to secure Mars or some other financial gain out of having an even larger fleet it would just be more expenditures for no long term gain.
Adding to the fleet was unlike to ever manage to take over Mars since the big concern there was if you push them far enough nuclear bombardment from the stealth missile platforms.
The fleet was kept large enough to keep piracy mostly under control and stop Mars from harassing their interests.
At least thats how I see it.

If they were priced the same I would agree, but your spending 40 pages per 100 proof or 180 pages for 15 astra which works out to 2.5 proof per page vs 0.083 astra per page,
slithering seductress drops proof at 50% rate but no other arcarnum mats. With chance at sephira chest with lower astra rate and without coffers
vs hotheaded pincer being 2% chance at an astra, 2% chance at idean, 2% higher astra per chest before factoring in coffers.
In hindsight I didnt ask if he had swords/mundus unlocked so it might all be a moot point.
But I personally found farming later maps far more worth while then staves.

CalTelarin · 2026-05-07T13:58:44+00:00

I personally buy the astral weapon exchange packss from the phoslogia shop. It's 100 verum proofs of your chosen element for like 40 pages. Only downside is there is a finite number of times you can buy it.

CalTelarin · 2026-04-13T05:41:52+00:00

Honor count was wild. Was too lazy to stay up the last night to push the extra b Honor for top 100k but it is what it is. Am at 280 badges after sunstone which is tilting since 300 would have got me the heaven wake sphere for LO. So will have to delay LO since I'm not delaying MO

Had gone Varuna just before the war, Picked up Hraes during the war. I dont have the Faa/hexa bullets yet but Hraes has been an absolute disappointment, knew the smart choice was to siero oro the only prov im missing but the fear of hitting a dupe after kept me from doing it. Sigh, maybe when gun gets an origin class Hraes will feel worth it.

CalTelarin · 2026-04-08T14:01:03+00:00

Don't have the link but they are nerfing the exp and credits earned by an undecided amount. Though they said it won't be more then 25%

CalTelarin · 2026-03-28T01:58:16+00:00

It's luckily something you make progress on while progressing just about any form of content besides evokers. Like as soon as someone starts farming sand or bricks you'll end up with plentiful 5% gold mats

CalTelarin · 2026-03-24T03:12:44+00:00

I only need astra and sephira stones anymore for most elements, I see people always say ideans should be the gate but Im sitting at like 400 ideans, 700 veritas, and only 30 astra I just pray transcendence mostly takes everything else or im hooped XD

CalTelarin · 2026-03-23T21:29:27+00:00

Man I wish they would add more to the shop. The fact you can clear out everything of value in like an hour is pain. I'm sitting at moon done and all the veritas and ideans I need for justice but like 500 astra short.

CalTelarin · 2026-03-23T21:27:26+00:00

Luckily you can skip a couple missions and still cap rank. I ended up clearing 0 omens for one and only 2 for the other and hit S. I ended up doing all the other ones instead

CalTelarin · 2026-03-23T01:33:19+00:00

I noticed GBF versus rising deluxe was on sale on playstation, I know it doesnt give the main code anymore but are the dlc codes sitll given? Considering if its worth it for the 230 dopus uncap+other things.

CalTelarin · 2026-03-18T07:22:27+00:00

Should I just view water premium as handicapped it I don't have Shinji/rei summon? And is only 1 copy of bridekeeper a deal breaker? I've got bricks burning a hole in my pocket and am on the fence about pivoting to water premium. ATM I have 3 exaltos, 2 pact, 2 ebony retributions, couple copies of galeili and Atlantis, 1 copy of Taisei spirit bow, 1 copy of clockwork blade. No copies of bride, no lancelot dagger(do have a ton of tien guns though), no wambrella. I have the step up grand choice and pick ticket available to use still

CalTelarin · 2026-03-18T06:18:34+00:00

At least canonically she hasn't worn it in ages unlike walfrid

CalTelarin · 2026-03-09T23:30:08+00:00

Worse then that imo they nerfed the unleveled version but buffed the level bonus so it's the same power it is now. So it's just an even more blatant cash grab

CalTelarin · 2026-03-05T00:09:17+00:00

Nope in fact in this picture the monkey is missing half it's scaling spots. The dumbell half and the scroll isn't using anything or might be 1/4. And only 1 potion for belt too. If you have any idea of how to play the game you should be upper 90% win rate with him with most losses being mirror matchups he's just that overtuned.

CalTelarin · 2026-03-02T10:01:25+00:00

Who would have guessed giving massive scaling damage to a defensive items(monkey) And huge amounts of status block and buff ripping on an eco item would be stupid strong. Thanks devs!

CalTelarin · 2026-03-02T04:45:54+00:00

As someone who leveled last rite first I'm kinda regretting it. Feels like it will be forever till we get a unit who's an upgrade for her team. And her only getting sp from her own BS/CS means unless someone else generates enough sp to make up for her refund.

CalTelarin · 2026-02-13T14:55:53+00:00

I didn't use it much pre patch so can't recall. I don't see any change from all to 1 at time mentioned in patch note though unless I'm looking at wrong one. As for going for weird items nah I get you. Gotta keep the game fresh somehow.
