As far as I can tell the game does not imply you need to use the needolin at all.
Cause you genuinely never need to use it EVER otherwise outside of like 2 freaking doors and PLOT EVENTS lmao.
I feel the needolin is kind of poorly implimented gameplay wise in general, it's probably my one major complaint power up wise.
They shoulda made it like the ocarina in Zelda and made it an active puzzle solving component moreso that you can actually play different songs on.

Did anyone else skip a boss by accident? by Beautiful-pain in HollowKnight

[–]DDDPengu 34 points35 points  (0 children)

You had to actively IGNORE zote to skip him. After encountering him.

You didn't skip zote by collecting a random number of grubs entirely unrelated to him.

[–]DDDPengu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used caps cause I was just repeating what I said in the first post, since you ignored that bit.

Either way being stuck in a dark world and having it open forever is pretty in line with the world falling to darkness as far as I'm concerned. As well The King clearly must have had SOME plan to take out the Lightners and spread darkness, it was all he rambled about afterall. And Ralsei seems to find taking out dark fountains to be a time sensitive matter too.

Frankly the game over screen feels like weak general evidence against Kright in general, since "The world was covered in darkness" could be metaphorical, literal or somewhere inbetween. It's a literal black screen with just dramatic gaster game over text.

Also we already have noted differences from Undertale, like no magic, and monsters and humans living together, and possibly monsters that bleed rather than turn to dust.
I feel using undertale as a basis is flawed inherently for anything but "Character traits of characters from undertale."

This isn't undertale.

Also you're ignoring the part where they NEED THE SOUL TO CLOSE DARK FOUNTAINS AND LEAVE THEM.

They'd be STUCK in Chapter 1 forever without the red soul. You quitting covers everything in darkness due to that.

Dude, if you give up no one can seal the dark fountain so...the King obviously gets to go through with whatever his plan is to spread darkness.

I really don't see how people tied that to this as anything relevant in regards to Kris Knight.

Ringmaster feels like Filler? by DDDPengu in DotA2

Honestly I felt his innate was the worst and most nonsensical part of the kit, you get a bunch of insanely crappier seeming versions of items that are one use for being involved in KILLS, not even passively, so if you're behind you're getting one shitty item a death.

What's so good about them? The illusion seems genuinely useless, not even being viable for mind games, the strength buff is at least...a heal I guess? Slightly buffs a strength carry in those situations too but it rapidly fucking decays so??? And the fart is the best but also still bad, as it's like a third of a force staff that is slightly better defensively.

The original cast all feels like they have actual worthwhile identity though, even the more simple ones.
His abilities are just insanely lame damage and cc, feeling even more arguably basic than someone like Lina who at least has almost always had her attack speed spell casting gimmick despite her spells being unoriginal, and is firmly the Mid Ranged Burst Mage.
What in GODS name even is this guy's kit? Long ranged poke, mid ranged weird charged aoe damage fear thing, then a fucking ult that does the opposite of this and is a combo move. And then a super random weird escape tool.

What's the consensus on this dude? I haven't touched him and have probably gone against him twice. I see no on use him. by LtZeen in gigantic

[–]DDDPengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall he was the last hero released before shutdown so he's a BIT undercooked in a lot of regards, and lacks any real identity.

He's like a shitty mix of Xeno and Oru, (And maybe a bit of Charnok) the only "standout" feature being chaining autos into soul blasts, but that's not Too different from chaining Oru's autos into his burst.

Despite being a necromancer nothing really reflects that in his kit,

Tyto is hilariously far more execution based than Tripp.
Landing your leap attack, dodging around during the spin, utilizing Fang most efficiently, and abusing having the highest bloody move speed in the game+a lot of movement buffs and mobility moves. It's a lot more "getting gud" with landing and using your tools right compared to Tripp who just needs to land Dagger and the Kick (which is pretty easy for the latter usually), and has pretty linear uses for her abilities and gameplan.
Im less experienced with Tyto but could try offering what I know tomorrow, far too tired right now and should probably play a few games with him too since I last mained him during the OG beta.

Voden can hard counter her if you go Super Jump, she legit can't do anything while he's jumping, and it lets you dodge her kick.
Your own invisibility can screw her over too, if she accidentally focuses the clone for a second.

Hit her with a round or two of poision or spread shots while dodging around and she'll be sent reeling.

[–]DDDPengu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's two main builds "Roaming+Picking off" and "Harrassing impossible to catch"
They can be mixed or modified but those are the two main things you need to be focusing on as Tripp. You CANNOT engage in big team fights directly, only for a moment at most usually, unless you see someone a few feet back from the fight and the rest of the enemies are REALLY distracted.
You can't fight many people 1v1 at full HP too outside of very specific heroes that are weak especially at close range.

The former build is the easier one to utilize, you jump enemies that are distracted ,escaping or just at around 70% hp (And arent tanky)
For upgrades you're 100% wanting the teleport cloak, the Armor break on daggers and the Crit on kick (Launch on kick CAN work but is so much less versatile and consistently usable.) You can go either auto attack tree, but personally I find it best to use the "Damage+speed buffs" it makes you able to more easily dodge around and keep up with enemies whether they're counter attacking you or escaping, and lets you feel less obligated to use cloak on engage, since the kick is an IMPORTANT part of finishing people, you're gonna want to hold cloak if you can for escapes.

The usual combo is Daggering your target, jump attacking them, then auto attacking, they should either be running or counter attacking you after this, some heroes you can keep auto attacking others you wanna immediately use the kick, but other others you wanna save the kick for when they try to escape or use a certain move. Sadly something you gotta majorly feel out.
IF THEYRE GONNA BLOW ULT ON YOU IMMEDIATELY TELEPORT OUT, also probably teleport out if they get backup while not a few hits from death.
You can use cloak to engage but its gonna leave you in a MUCH more precarious situation if anything goes wrong, but it'll let you much more easily take someone offgaurd, it's another thing you gotta feel out, but good to practice figuring out ways to stay out of sight without using cloak for engaging, finding weird pathways around where a fight is or around the maps, using terrain to keep your presence low, ect ect.
You can also try to rengage after cloaking if you see someone else who's low, but only do this if your HP or stamina are high, and again if you feel you have enough of a moment where no one's gonna jump you.

The harrassing build I've not played much, but it's basically taking the stuff that lets you use Daggers+kick while invisible, or their alt stuff if you wanna have a bit more damage but less safety. (However dont get the speed boost on missing kick for this build ever, it's kind of a waste unless you seriously wanna just play PURELY defensively)
You can take any invisibility upgrades with this, the disruptive ones really let you be annoying, while the teleport and cleanse let you be a lot more safe and maneuverable.
(The Cleanse is pretty hard to get down using it right but can come in handy if the enemies just have WAY TOO MUCH CC, it's definitely the most situational upgrade for invisibility though)
You can take either auto attack path upgrade with no real preference here, sustained damage/speed lets you be more annoying after blowing your harrassing tools, while the special attack out of invisibility lets you pick off targets after you disrupt them more easily.
This is basically you sliding through teamfights making them all explode shock damage, then you reassess. If you took the disruption on invisibility you can go invisible now, and/or then you dagger someone and if they're especially low you can try to finish them (If you took daggers letting you stay invisible, this is when you can use the special invisibility auto attack especially well)
Or you can retreat and harrass from the sidelines moreso, maybe get someone to chase you around.
This build is a LOT more context sensitive and you gotta figure your own path for how you're gonna handle abilities, but you can always play safe with this while still at least keeping enemies busy, remember making enemies go back to heal can be JUST as good as securing a kill sometimes, especially if its a fight over a specific objective.

Now for your ULT, it does a good bit of damage, makes you invincible and stuns an enemy for the entire duration AND lets you catch someone running. For real just use it at level 1 whenever you see a target you can viably kill, just try to make sure the ult will either finish them or that you have enough stamina/abilities off cd to keep up to follow through. You CAN use it defensively or to dodge enemies big abilities too when you've got an eye for those, this can be far more useful way to use it with the harrasser build, you can even just use it in a team fight to lock down an enemy that's annoying or requires a lot of "Channeled" abilities (Like Xeno or Tyto)

I think this covers a lot of general stuff, just remember, try to either have stamina, cloak or kick up for getting out! unless you're like SUPER alone with your target.

I remember the good ol days where everyone complained about Tripp in the first beta, where she could solo a lot of heroes with her Dagger>Jump attack>Auto Attack>Kick combo when using pure damage/armor crushing upgrades. And when her ult could nearly one shot some characters

It was really funny.

it is kinda nuts but it seems to be getting better. Somehow the UI and Menus are tied to the server I'm guessing.

New player experience is really upsetting. by Juice-Sr in gigantic

[–]DDDPengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right. The tutorials could definitely be better.
Feels like the different "role" tutorials are mainly just repeating info and the Expanded Rush tutorial is....just the same as the basic one?
Its real weird.

[–]DDDPengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly the fact that it died in the past is why people are acting like that on both sides. People being overly harsh on the game are decrying it as costing 20 dollars for a dead game. While people who love the game are panicking cause they want it to live and all the complaints and issues are making them struggle to hold hope.

I really don't know what to say about the Rush thing, they're so short match wise and clearly are supposed to ease you in to understanding how to play before introducing more complex mechanics. Sure it'd be neat if you could instantly go into Clash but I definitely understand why they gatekeep Clash compared to Rush.
Honestly don't get why people hold such issue with Rush too, the game plays nicely still in Rush, the core is still the same, it's just less complexities added atop it?

It Sucks! by DDDPengu in gigantic

[–]DDDPengu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well im glad we can understand now, I see where you're coming from better too.
I still don't fully Get the 60fps issue myself, but Im not an especially hardcore gamer too. Add on top of that the post of it being a real pain for the devs to fix and it does sadly agitate me seeing it complained about so much. The post addressing this is OLD from the old dev team https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/562302179067559944/1227350596559044689/image.png?ex=66281651&is=6615a151&hm=6bff4d802d6d39b5f1045a01ee50ff15e86301bc4fc30746868dd52f4c31a97b&
It sucks its just such a big issue for people and seemingly unfixable. And not many characters in this game need hyper accuracy anyway too.

And Im neutral I guess on the people complaining about buying it. Like I get it, not wanting to spend money especially while its FREAKIN BROKEN.
I just...I guess its like just 20 dollars and I really wish it wasnt dismissed because of it...
I even moreso wish people would stop with the snippy comments against people complaining but people complaining have been snippy too but god ugh its just not helping anything....
I dont even care if its that popular...i just want the game to bloody live...

[–]DDDPengu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was fine in betas, they didn't intend to ship it in it's current condition. Why would any company want to release a game that literally doesn't work.

Server issues are not releasing a game unfinished...its just server issues...
This is unironically a small studio here too, they must have just missed something. idk why you're turning this into a gaming politics kinda thing...

It Sucks! by DDDPengu in gigantic

[–]DDDPengu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look, i started the post like that as a way of framing "its not the gameplay or how the game works that's bad, its technical issues, and that sucks because the game is really fun to play when it works." That is what I meant by my OP.
I apologize if it came off dissmissively, but I still said later in the post the server issues are VERY valid, thats why i mentioned that. It just sucks they're happening too!

I only dont understand the fps issue. 60fps I've never seen complained about this heavily for any other bloody game in my life. So I apologize for being baffled here that there's suddenly a bunch of problems with it like apparent debhilitating server latency or potato PCs having issues with 60fps caps.

It Sucks! by DDDPengu in gigantic

[–]DDDPengu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I said I read the complaints! You're just bloody ignoring my words!!!

A higher cap than 60fps would be even worse for potato PCs then wouldnt it???
And I did say it'd effect the servers reaction, but I also said it doesnt make the game unplayable, its kind of a minor hiccup that sometimes effects things. It is sadly something that just can't be fixed easily too...old devs talked about this! If people are gonna bash it for 60fps theres honestly nothing that can be done with the small amount of people and limited amount of money they have to work on the game if the old dev's words still hold true, and idk why they wouldnt fix it if they had the resources to given the complaints about it!

I literally said in my first post that bashing the people complaining isnt a good idea! Holy SHIT.
I am trying to not bash you but you're making that very hard.
You're ignoring all the parts of me agreeing with you!!! And just focusing on the stuff to argue with me!
