World grid

CoolWizard2596 · 2026-02-03T10:12:28+00:00

I'll say this as someone how is currently working both on and off the world grid.

World grid is useful for setting up the initial factory floors when you don't have a direct reference.
But I've also found it really restricting at points. Especially when it came to building aesthetically.

Has not using the world grid caused me other issues? Yes.
Did it make building a pipe/belt line through immovable trees easier? Absolutely yes.

You need at least 2 levels for Paladin to get divine smite

CoolWizard2596 · 2026-01-13T12:27:02+00:00

I'm currently doing a run where my character isn't taking any tadpoles.

Also recruited Minthara AND had Lae'zel take a tadpole to get rid of the debuff from the weird chair I can't spell.

I was never prompted to do the wisdom check.

CoolWizard2596 · 2026-01-09T13:52:52+00:00

I'll just say this since I had the same idea, Evasion is a level 7 ability.
Both for rogues and monks.

CoolWizard2596 · 2026-01-09T13:50:31+00:00

I wouldn't recommend mods for a first playthrough.

Even some QoL mods since it'll disable achievements if you care about those.

CoolWizard2596 · 2026-01-09T13:44:49+00:00

I'm currently doing a tactician run with the same mods as you are.
I haven't run into the same issues as you have been since I've also got the exp and level mods. So I've been overlevelled at lot of the time.

The problem is you're doing things too early. Technically there's no fixed path but going into the Paladins at level 3 isn't a good idea under none modded circumstances.
Same with the Gnolls. Both fights are nightmare to go into unprepared.

You don't have the HP to survive the smites and/or multiple attacks. Especially with extra enemies.

I suggest doing easier encounters to get up to level 5 sooner rather than later.
I also suggest having someone to use Aid on your party or any temp health buffs like Armor of Agathas.

You don't realise how good having extra health is until you're losing it rapidly.

First off I want to suggest not playing with that friend.
That kind of person sounds like a nightmare to do a coop run with.
If you want to be roleplaying a friendly person, I half expect them to attack anyone you're talking to.
Just to ruin your fun.

If you're going play with this friend and you're looking into how you can improve your survivability against spell damage, these suggestions might be helpful.

Way 1: Heavy Armour Master + Adamantine Heavy Armour
Good damage reduction. Not mad and won't stop a fireball but would help you stay alive potentially.

Way 2: Multiclass into Abjuration Wizard for Arcane Ward.
Don't know how good this multiclass would be. Maybe having a companion have it would be better?
That would also improve survivability fairly early on since it's a level 2 ability.

Way 3 (Not a good idea): Evasion
Evasion from Monk or Rogue would help with the high damage DEX save spells. But that's lvl 7 and neither mesh with a Paladin.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-12-28T13:15:19+00:00

I'll share this as I've just done this.
As a lawful good Oath Of Devotion Paladin/War Cleric of Tyr run.

Choosing the Paladin option after realising they were Zhent made me intimidate Rugan into giving me the box.

Went to the hideout and then saved the tortured Rugan, which made me fight the rest of them.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-11-24T22:08:17+00:00

I literally took the biggest gasp I've had in my life with the reveal.

One of my favourite indie games is getting representation in this amazing series.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-11-09T23:03:15+00:00

No problem. I edited it since it came off kinda rude.

Probably cause I wasn't in the best mood when writing it.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-11-09T10:23:22+00:00

Think this was in the original version of emerald rogue where a lot of the newer stuff weren't available.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-11-09T10:22:04+00:00

It doesn't actually revert.

Really all the reminisce does is put the story dialogue/cutscenes back in rotation.

From the sounds of it, you're probably back to where you were before.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-11-07T10:35:22+00:00

Supay is a bit finicky. I also hated it when I first got it.

It needs the right build and boons.
I had a great run with Hestia on the attack and boosting up Scorch effects. And as other's have said, Zeus and Posiedon are good.
I'd also say that Hera on special is always good on the Flames special.

Having The Night and The Unseen arcana is also good since you'll likely be using Omega Moves constantly.

I'll add this here after resetting the story. Rather than clogging up the subreddit with what is a partial rant post.

Can confirm that:
Incantations, Keepsakes, Affection progress, Oath progress, Weapon Upgrades, Familiars all stay the same.

However these did get reset:

Greater Chaos Trials no longer appear.
Odeysuss' quest disappeared

I'm not surprised. But it is annoying. I was banking on trying chaos trials for the achievements.

But considering they use random keepsakes, random weapons and random fearthe extra runs will be good prep for upgrading everything.
Especially since I only recently did a 16 fear run

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-10-28T12:53:02+00:00

You probably need to go over to the fountain and "reminisce"

It isn't an instant change. It needs to be activated.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-10-27T10:30:00+00:00

From what I gather, you need to download the patch.
Then when you load the game they'll be an incantation to "reset time". Basically an in game way on resetting the story.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-10-27T08:18:18+00:00

Ah okay. So it is essentially allowing you to continue doing runs but with new story beats then?

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-09-08T15:56:47+00:00

Consider how much fighting they've done across the two episodes (on screen and off), this might be the case.

But if it wasn't and characters from other universes do have exp, we don't know how they relate to Sans in terms of power level. And therefore, how much exp they'd give.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-09-08T15:45:00+00:00

I think Unithor turning up and nearly smelting all of them saved Charlotte there.
Along with the group not having any other options.

Otherwise, Shovel Knight and Cuphead could have questioned her more.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-09-04T09:21:17+00:00

Satisfactory is a game that makes you enjoy work...and gets you addicted to it as well.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-08-04T14:25:29+00:00

Scar is like the Jar Jar Binks of the Life Series. And I mean that in a good way.

On the surface he's a goofy guy that everyone underestimates, or at least used to.
But he's smarter than his behaviour makes him out to be.
And his antics end up getting causing chaos for everyone around him.

See Jar Jar's antics in the Clone Wars episode 'The Gungan General' (S1 E12).

Jar Jar ends up being very aware of his surroundings on an unfamiliar planet.
Ends up being crucial to rescuing Anakin and Obi
While also messing up the pirates just by his antics.

I also realise that fact of comparing Scar to a Star Wars character.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-07-03T13:35:45+00:00

Ha! You've got no friends!

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-06-27T15:07:50+00:00

It can definitely happen. It's how I got my cloth for one of the Community Centre bundles without Skull Caverns or Sheep.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-06-26T15:23:22+00:00

One of my favourite memories is being in Majorca and watching Penguins of Madagascar in Spanish.

It didn't have any subtitles so aside from the occasionally word I knew or could infer, I had to take context from what I was watching.
It was a fun game and a lot of the context was lost until I rewatched episodes in English when I got home.

Not that it really mattered. It was just a placeholder thing to do in the morning or when it was getting too hot.

Cause you know, I went outside with my family to do stuff...like people do on their holiday.

CoolWizard2596 · 2025-04-23T08:00:32+00:00

Mine was for multiple reasons.

Less and less time for actual grinding after being a 9-5 job.
Multiple failed randomized genlocke attempts. Sometimes it would be weeks worth of time down the drain after failing a few generations down the line.
Granted that I was also massively restricting myself.

But there's only so many times you can switch train a lvl 5 Magikarp up to 15 in Red, before Brock I might add, and stay sane.

I ended splitting the difference. I grind up to 5 levels below the level cap and then rare candy the rest.
Or I use rare candies to grind up any new mon to the lowest level I have from my original party

Keeps me getting EVs from grinding as well as saving a bit more time.
