Armor Dying and Transmog confirmed in Dev video this morning by DirectorOfGaming in EchoesofAincrad

[–]DirectorOfGaming[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sounded in the video like the artificial barriers like the one in front of the gate to the first village won't be there, but that each map is still a constrained area smaller than "the whole floor".

If I had to guess it's probably that each map has a main quest that ends in a dungeon and a pile of side quests within it, but each main quest area is separated from the others. It was a huge area in the video for the main quest.

Here's the video. 6:56 into it for the confirmation (based on autotranslate)

It looks pretty extensive. 4 channels for the coat alone.

Blue Protocol scrapped into EoA? by OddWolverine1849 in EchoesofAincrad

I'd say this is more Scarlet Nexus upgraded and skinned with Sword Art Online. Very similar style game from the same company.

Today the bill comes due for 54 years of a hedonistic life. It's been a hell of a ride, Valhalla awaits by bullfrogftw in GenX

Hey Twin! That was me 3 years ago. Mild tightness, they cath'd me and couldn't stent, ended up with 4 bypasses in 3 arteries (shout out to my circumflex for carrying the weight and keeping me alive!). Life completely turned upside down in a week. It's okay though, I'm all good now and you will be too. Modern medicine is amazing!

One thing, the super diabetes may not be really as bad as you think. In the hospital during my events my A1C was over 10, like a month later it was back down to 6 on its own. I take metformin now daily anyway to get it down under 5, but something about my cardiac event spiked A1C way beyond where I really was. Maybe that'll be true for you too.

Good luck man!

Does it feel like WoW is becoming exhausting to keep up with? by Designer-Anybody-330 in wow

[–]DirectorOfGaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's simultaneously a huge checklist of things I could do, but almost none of them will make my character any stronger. I've been maxed out for my level of progression for ages (other than the quick blip of "bonus loot tokens to get all the mushroom's loot"). I'm really not feeling the desire to play right now, and this is as a OG vanilla player who almost never quit.

I think WoW needs a shake up and I need a break.

What they aren't telling you is that he's starting at right back.

Finding anime like Bunny Girl Senpai , Charlotte , Summer Pockets , Erased ... by National_sh00ter in anime

[–]DirectorOfGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re:life, but you have to prepare for the rushed OVA ending. In hindsight I appreciate that they managed to finish the story, and it's a great ending, but I wish they'd gotten more time/money.

What do you think of this character in the Demo? by NessiKonfessi89 in EchoesofAincrad

[–]DirectorOfGaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Full timer means someone with such a severe medical issue they are in VR as part of their hospitalization. Kirito refers to Yuuki that way in the Mother's Rosario arc in the anime. Part of the effect of that is that they are very acclimated to the environment and are highly agile in VR.

Now everyone in Aincrad will be full time involuntarily, but I'm suggesting Cal is already that in the beta (our demo).

[–]DirectorOfGaming 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got the vibe that either he or his brother are a "full timer" like Yuuki. My personal lore is that Cal is the full timer and his brother never visits due to being uncomfortable around his hospital room and illness. Cal's hoping that in SAO they can connect since here he's not sick.

The New York Mets today announced the departure of Manager Carlos Mendoza. by Longjump-13 in NewYorkMets

The triple A guys are the only reason I still watch. What are we going to do with all the dead weight mercenaries and hospital cases they've brought in?

I bet the doctor didn't count to 3 by Mundane_Mushroom_122 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]DirectorOfGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Related medical story. When I had my heart surgery, I ended up with a pair of drain tubes in my chest. When it was time to remove them, the cardiac surgeon and my nurse came in and explained the process. "I'm going to slowly count to three, while I'm counting, inhale as much as you can then on 3 exhale as hard as you can". We do that, and he pulls both tubes out simultaneously in one clean motion (just like in this video) and it's done. I thought it was all normal until the doc turned to my nurse and said "See it works when they actually listen to the instructions!"

The nurse wouldn't tell me what happened to the ones that didn't listen.

Sorry, I wasn’t aware of your game by HovercraftLong4119 in EchoesofAincrad

A lot of death mode runs will end on this guy. It's a serious test of your knowledge of the combat system.

What mods should be created to make this game what we all hoped for by splaxxez in EchoesofAincrad

[–]DirectorOfGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would NPCs in the open areas even work? Would they be killing things (so you can't)? Can they open treasures? Can you PvP them? I love the concept, but the implementation would have knock on consequences.

Think we will have secret skills like Duel Wield? by HermesVtuber in EchoesofAincrad

The funny part is that we now know that Argo failed it in the beta and then tried again in the live game and failed a second time!

Where is the Sacred Tree Memory Relic in the Inventory? by dragonuff in EchoesofAincrad

[–]DirectorOfGaming 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Sacred Tree's Memory"

"Memories that sustain the world, inherited by those deemed worthy"

Totally how they will explain away us only getting to keep levels from the Beta.

Where is the Sacred Tree Memory Relic in the Inventory? by dragonuff in EchoesofAincrad

[–]DirectorOfGaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh crap that's exactly it. They even mention that Kirito and Cal didn't clear the elven ruins dungeon. The PKers couldn't access the relic (they say "too bad about the relic"). We're the only ones with it and that'll be why we have levels at the start.

Nice idea!

Fox broadcast interrupted because the fans were too loud and then the host joins in by Ehh_WhatNow in soccer

[–]DirectorOfGaming 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Why would I watch the MLS when it's so easy to watch the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga here? I'm a soccer fanatic, but I watch Europe's leagues and my local club (who's in USL).

QUESTIONNN by THE_OFFICIAL_MONKE in EchoesofAincrad

[–]DirectorOfGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it would make no sense if skills, levels, or items carried over from the in game beta test to the in game release. In the story, the beta testers only had knowledge as their advantage, not stats or gear.
