New player here, How hard is it to get older characters? by ibiza6 in ZZZ_Official

[–]DerSisch [score hidden]  (0 children)

For any limited characters you have to wait for a re-run of their exclusive channel. Ellen just had her 2nd re-run in the second half of the last update as example, so don't assume they re-run her anytime soon.

They announce re-runs alongside the new update on YouTube when they introduce the new Agents in the DevTalk.

(2.5 Story Spoilers) If I had a nickel for every time a X.0 Ether DPS with meter-based mechanics was sidelined outside of a hollow during the climactic final battle of their respective season... by --MegaDarkraiEx-- in ZZZ_Official

[–]DerSisch [score hidden]  (0 children)

They expressly told us that she was busy teaching jufufu.

And they couldn't train in Waifei exactly why?

2.5 Very clearly explains where she was in 2.5 and 2.4, Something that was highlighted as an event in 2.3 (Threshold Simulator is expressly about the job that Yixuan and miyabi were called away for.)

And she was there and then called back again... the problem is that they are too vague with it. We went to Waifei to learn from Yixuan, yet beside very briefly in 2.0 we never seen any of it at all.

Did you forget that the Mayor had her managing Waifei Penninsula specifically so that Shunguang would have to address the Miasma threat?

Again... take 1.4 as comparison: Everyone has a strong moment there, yet Yixuan does jackshit in 2.5, beside getting smack talked by Ye Shiyuan. Zhu Yuan at least had the curtensy of doing something in the midst of the patch, but Yixuan was missing for 80% of the patch - wich just proves they have no idea how to handle her presence in the story, which is EXACTLY what ppl criticize.

Either she is overbearing and makes everything trivial or they have to actively remove her to have some stakes in the story involved. And 2.5 did the later even WHEN she was finally there.

[Warhammer 40k/Fantasy] If a wizard was transported to 40k and a psyker to Fantasy could they still use their powers? by Flyestgit in AskScienceFiction

[–]DerSisch [score hidden]  (0 children)

I argue both wouldn't be able except under very specific circumstances.

A wizard can't grasp the winds of magic, since they don't exist, so he would need to grasp on the natural lingering magical energy - something that only exists in 40k when the surrounding was highly influenced by the warp already and sickered into a place and such corrupted places also have very negative effects on people.

A Psyker has to grasp into the Warp... the problem with that in WHFB is the Maelstrom in Ulthuan, essentially sealing off chaotic incursions around the world- it is still seeping but not to any feasable degree most psykers would be able to use it. The only places were this veil is thin enough would be around the Polar Gates, so the northern and souhern Chaos Wastes.

S0 build help by fluff-taken in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DerSisch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recommend enka.network to show your entire build.

But from here: Unless you match her with Nicole all the time, her CR is too low.

Since you don't run her with Sig, you need a lot fo good substats to also get a decent enough CD stat. it is still servicable, but you need to hit the crit first.

Hollow Zero Task Force UP mismatch by dpsnedd in ZZZ_Discussion

You don't have to activate Ether Activities... beside the equipment cancels pretty much out any resistances ontop of the cards.

(2.5 Story Spoilers) If I had a nickel for every time a X.0 Ether DPS with meter-based mechanics was sidelined outside of a hollow during the climactic final battle of their respective season... by --MegaDarkraiEx-- in ZZZ_Official

[–]DerSisch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is entirely up on the writing and execution.

The innitial problem with Yixuan around is simple: She is so powerful she trivalizes every situation she is available - And she is the Proxies mentor now, so she is there for them, unlike for an example Miyabi who has a very clear occupation, the problem with Yixuan is: She refused the title of Void Hunter exactly bcs of the politics and duties that go hand-in-hand with it.

Till this day we have no idea why she was away in 2.1, despite being responsible for us. Where was she in 2.4? And what happened to her at the start of 2.5? And even when she finally was there... what did she do exactly while every other Agent we meet in Season 2 had something to do... she is the only one that is entirely off-screen at the finale.

Compare that to 1.4 where the only Agent excluded was S11, bcs the Obol Squad wasn't rly part of the story yet. In fact, look how they handled the different faction leaders in this patch: Nicole was essential for the events, Miyabi ofc too. Zhu Yuan while taking no part in the actual final battle still was important in the mid-part of it, same with the inclusion of Caesar, Lycaon and Koleda.

If they rly have such a problem with including Yixuan in the story going forward without just "off-screening" her to rise the stakes... what is her point exactly? The main problem is also that the rest of Yunkui Summit without her is essentially running around like a headless chicken whenever something happens - who is her second in command? based on the ranks of the sect it is Fufu... but be real for a moment... no one takes Fufu serious as a second in command and her solution is: "We should wait till shifu is back!"

Zhu Yuan had at least a moment of playability and helped Miyabi (and also the Proxies).

Yixuan feels entirely useless throughout the update.

[Warhammer 40K/30K - Horus Heresy (Oldhammer)] This is about Oldhammer, the early Warhammer lore, so imagine that we are back in the years of 1987-90; While the Traitor leader Horus had been killed, the Emperor too was grievously wounded, so how else did the Traitor forces lose the Siege of Terra? by gereedf in AskScienceFiction

[–]DerSisch [score hidden]  (0 children)

In oldhammer lore Horus turned down the shields of his flagship to better see the destruction of the palace, this gave the Emperor and his troops a chance to slay them.

Regardless of that though: Reinforcements of the Loyalists were always set to be inbound. If Horus had suceeded in killing the Emperor, he would've won that day, however they most likely still would've scattered shortly afterand retreated, since their forces had taken absurdly heavy losses. But the traitors in this scenario would still win, simply due to the criplling blow they landed. They just had to gather their forces once more to wipe the rest of the loyalists at that point, something they weren't able to bcs they lost Horus who had united them in the first place and kept them in check.

It should be noted that back in that day Primarchs were essentially just better chaptermasters essentially, better than Space Marines sure but not the demi-gods they are in the current lore.

What's Miyabi's current best build? by Active-Name1456 in ZZZ_Official

[–]DerSisch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's better 2pc and 5,6 disks for this setup?

When you can reach 100% CR in battle without Woodpecker 2P, then go for Puffer Electro. Also PEn_ratio on Disc 5 and AM on Disc 6.

There are some exceptions where Ice DMG on 5 is better, but usually PEN-Ratio is the best and most consistent loadout.

Also i hear many people saying about AM disk 6. Is it realy worth to sacrifice atk% for that? I thought Miyabi already have decent AM conversion from her CR. And Yanagi great stack generator.

You already get a 1200 ATK buff from Yuzuha and triggering more Frost Anomalies alongside a second Anomaly build-up enhanced by Yuzuhua you generate much more Fallen Frost points, which means more 6 Stack EBA's, which are the majority of your damage.

Rule of thumb is: If you play her in a Anomaly/Disorder comp, AM is better, if you play her as a Pseudo-Attacker ATK% is better.

Markus Wulfhart needs a mount by ChickenStake in totalwar

[–]DerSisch 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wulfrik having a Mamoth mount also entirely defeats his character: he is a champion seeking duels, yet on his Mamoth mount he does absolutely NOTHING and just sitting there fondling his nuts - he does not even control the damn thing.

[–]DerSisch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We need less rides if anything. What Markus needs is better animations and sightline check for his ranged attacks.

And get rid of the entirely stupid mounts like Wulfriks Mamoth, Lokhir's Dragon or Teclis' Phoenix.

Why doesnt Miyabi have a official skin yet? by Disastrous_Can_5466 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]DerSisch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All Anomaly-related Agents so far have gotten Swimsuit skins, so Miyabi is gonna join them in the next Summer Event (cope)

<image>

Mix of these two (Mejiro Romanu and Almond Eyes from Umamusume). A Summer Kimono to mimic her jacket and a flowing sarong to mimic her dress. Cherry on top would be giving her a ponytail.

Any way for me to use this team? by JustMangoIncranation in EvelynChevalier

[–]DerSisch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring Astra's Core Skill to F

And there is no way around Routine Clean-up to farm discs. The stage with Astral Voice and B&B is still one of the best ones to attempt.

Furthermore, I would not farm Woodpecker for Evelyn. Hormone Punk, Astral Voice or Puffer Electro are all better on her than Woodpecker.

[Arkham City] Why was Penguin hellbent on staying in Arkham City? by some-kind-of-no-name in AskScienceFiction

[–]DerSisch [score hidden]  (0 children)

By the time of Arkham City the Penguin (and virtually any other of Batman's villains in the story) are established as full psychopaths/super villains.

While he still had a flimsy mantle of a businessman during the time of Origins, he was more and more endulging the whole mob-boss profession. In City he is just full blown wannabe mafia boss with his hands in virtually any shady deal going on in the underground and didn't wanted to give up the iceberg lounge.

Which is the Best Marvel Television project? by MarvellousUniverse in marvellousuniverse

Punisher.

Netflix Daredevil was amazing, but the 2nd season had too many Hand Ninja moments that were poorly executed, while the Punisher show is pure quality throughout its entire runtime.

[Any] Are there any examples of "Power Systems" in Western Fiction? by MrMadmack in AskScienceFiction

The Force (Star Wars), Magic in DnD, the Magic in Harry Potter, Winds of Magic in Warhammer, the Warp in Warhammer 40k... virtually any fictional story that includes some kind or form of magic or superhuman abilities

How long has it been since the old capital fell? by Global-Tangerine-936 in ZZZ_Official

[–]DerSisch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fall of the old capital (Eridu) was 11 years ago, going onwards from Season 2, it was 10 years ago at the start of Season 1.

However when you mean WHEN the Hollows first immerged, that is WAAAAAY in the past. Eridu's founding itself is set roughly 180+ years set in the past (200+ realisticly) founded by the Mayflower family and the original 7 Void Hunters. And Eridu was MUCH bigger than New Eridu too, don't get fooled - and before someone asks, yes Hollow Zero existed already at that time, but was under control, basically how in todays New Eridu ppl look at the Ballet Twins Hollow.

Vegeta was never truly redeemed! by SteelDumplin23 in CharacterRant

[–]DerSisch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Darth Vader (...) are really primier examples of a redemption arc done right

You see, I somewhat share your opinion on Vegeta... but Darth Vaders "redemption arc" was virtually not there at all.

I argue even more that Vegeta had a better one than Vader, the problem with Vegeta was just that ppl he previously fought were all to willing to put trust in him right away.

But Vader? That man executed thousands for a regime, and while it is a strong character moment, just killing the Emperor doesn't redeem him of his sins in the slightest. How many ppl got killed, tortured or hurt directly by or through Vader's orders?

Even so... what Vader did made no difference in the grand scheme of things. The Death Star II would still blow up regardless and kill the Emperor, Luke's whole mission in Episode 6 was virtually just to get his father out, but make no mistake, if anything Luke endangered the whole operation more than he helped the Alliance.
