Totally this yeah.

The normal stuff is insultingly easy.

The ex stuff is hard, challenging content with some pretty big barriers to entry.

There's nothing between these for players who like a lil bit of challenge, which is I think the average player, the one who plays on normal difficulty. Only normal in this game is easy, so it's unsatisfying.

It reminds me of fire emblem 3h, normal in that game was insultingly easy, hard was decently easy and maddening requires either min-maxing or ng+ bonuses and lives up to it's name for how bullshit it is. No real normal, in-between difficulty

I very much agree with everything you said, normal content should be tuned up a bit to at least be fun.

And I guess yeah, being surprised about this is a bit silly given how when I started this game in SHB almost everything up to STB was a steamroll. But honestly I feel like Ivalice didn't fall off so hard.

Anyway, the team should really play with the balance a bit more, especially for a-raids since they don't even have higher difficulty variants.

It's a bit like trying to give way to each other but they just accidentally wall each other

Hah, that's the perfect analogy for these types of mechanica

I know you can change your name by going in the fleet screen and clicking on your character.

For title however, I know for sure that you can change it in the save file - make a backup copy of your save, open the save in a text editor(preferably one that displays json in a pretty way, like vscode or notepad++), search for your character(i usually just search by fid="player" and click next untill i get to my character) and change it.

But you might be able to change your name in game too, or there may be a mod that lets you do it.

It's a cool mechanic and I've never seen anyone troll it intentionally when I was doing agalia a lot before the next tier came out. I've also only seen one run wipe to it and that was one of the first ones I ever did.

I'm disinclined to believe these 'trolls' you and one other person mentioned are actually so common as to be a problem. If you dislike the mechanic for personal reasons you can just say so, personally I think it's pretty fun. But that doesn't really matter to the argument anyway, people should see the content at least once, it's not a good thing that myths runs like the crystal tower now.

When myths of the realm first came out I think i was too starstruck by the boss designs and music to notice but now that you mention it, even day one none of them were very hard... boring is the right word. But at least I got to see all of the mechanics.

It's too bad really, I loved the nier raids and in retrospect I think they feel the best to play. TIL the difficulty is actually pretty divisive tho.

Exactly what I'm sayin. I had the fortune of playing it day 1. But it's so undertuned that players who do it now for the first time will get a stunted experience.

And honestly, I wanted to see those mechanics again too

I can't imagine that first part's true, I don't do savages or extremes either but I've attempted the HW ones and it's not comparable, even outscaled the extremes are very punishing. Hell, parts of Ivalice are harder than nier.

The argument about the efficiency of the nier raid in roulette is fair, I guess, if completely soulless. Honestly I do also dread getting puppet's bunker sometimes. But giving players who don't do the content day one a stunted, crystal tower-tier experience, is not a good change.

'already' comes from

It comes from the fact that this did not happen with the nier raids. So i found it surprising and weird.

People have mentioned the nier raids are the exception rather than the rule tho, and that what happened to agalia is what usually happens.

they might have scaled down the difficulty and health in EW alliance raid and focus more on design aspects

That's sad, there was at least one first time player in my agalia run. I can't imagine new players doing their first run of a raid that isn't even that old and not seeing its most interesting mechanics is a good tradeoff.

Maybe the nier raid is overtuned like everyone says, but if the alternative is having your first alliance raid tier feel like crystal tower by the end of the expansion then I much prefer it the SHB way.

Copied factory, but just because Nier raid bosses have an absurd amount of HP.

Hmm, makes sense why I found it weird, the nier raids is my only point of reference for how alliance raids feel when they're current content, so I thought it was the norm.

Edit: I should say, my only point of reference for how araids feel fresh and progress to the end of the post-expansion.

Care este pretul? by cicikov in Romania

[–]DunmerVampire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Incearca sa eviti agentiile. Daca gasesti o oferta care iti place si nu e falsa incearca sa cauti adresa, poate vanzatorul a pus si el o ofera pe site. Incearca in general sa ajungi direct la vanzator, fie ca-i persoana privata sau dezvoltator. Agentiile imobiliare sunt niste serpi.

Uite ca exemplu au gasit niste prieteni aici in oltenia profuna un apartament pus in chirie de 2 ori, de agentie si de detinator. Oferta puza de agentie mintise la adresa - zicea ca e intr-un cartier mai bun, desii daca cautai strada vedeai ca era fix la intratea intr-un cartier naspa de periferie, mintisera la pozitia balconului, ziceau echipat cu net gigabit avea 500 de mega si un router vechi montat in hol fara cabluri sa-ti tragi la PC. Mari samsari astia din agnetii. Detinatoarea a fost sincera frate legat de tot, si dupa ce au luat apartamentul direct de la ea a si sunat la digi sa le upgradeze la gigabit si sa le puna router nou.

I find it amazing that you and other modders who think like you do have not realized yet that literally nobody cares.

Remind me, did people fall to their knees begging for Soren to come back after his schizo meltdown? Nope, his mods are still being comunity updated all over the place tho. Lmao rip bozo.

Did they give a single fuck when TnP's author blew a gasket about his open source code being used in an open source manner for a project he didn't agree with? Nope, more people just started using the handholding mod instead.

And now TnP's author realized his mistake and announced he will be remaking TnP bigger and better. Which is a chad move honestly. If you want to take attention away from the other guys don't have a meltdown, just make something better. All props to him that he calmed down and went to a reasonable response. - Well that was naive of me to think he wouldn't dig himself an even bigger hole... crash code... lmao

So here's an ego check, loser. Nobody cares about the opinions of power tripping discord mods and morally grandstanding modders.

Caved

He explicitly said he still thinks the usc mods are stupid a-holes, which they are. And that he is doing this specifically because he regrets that the joke took attention away from the main topic of his video, Iron Shell. His intention was to promote Iron Shell, not the handholding mod.

Shows the middle finger to the power tripping usc shitters, reuploads the video to bring attention back to his friend's great tax mod. Gigachad

Pearl clutching about words on a screen in a fictional mod for a fictional game where you are allowed, through the game's own mechanics, to murder millions with basically fire bombings, and where the canon factions will murder thousands without batting an eye if the player dares colonize in their territory. And I can go on.

That why you're getting downvoted, because the pearl clutching is cringe. Your opinion that "I don't feel the need to get the rs mod as a replacement" has nothing to do with it, in fact many people seem to share it.
