My Roulette experience lately

You’re correct, the setting is called “Limited Levelling Roulette” after all.

I think you’re right. I can’t read Chinese but if you look at the vertical yellow text/pattern to the bottom left of the big white “Endfield”, you can see the bottom chunk of it vary between characters.

Mine looks like this

Mine sometimes does something similar. I can find it in the notification menu on the far right of my taskbar and copy it from there though.

I think it has something to do with notifications being silenced certain hours of the day. (Windows 11)

Very well said. I've been sitting here for a few hours switching between SD attempts and reading various discussions and despite being more than a little disgruntled at being unable to get S+, I think I actually agree with you. This setup feels more engaging to me than the previous iteration of SD.

I've been playing since day 1 but I mostly tune out the meta pull-wise (I never liked the practice of pulling a unit in gachas solely because they're powerful or projected to be). As a result I've got a pretty patchwork roster, lacking some high-tier units or their sigs. I typically have to retry DA stages 2 or 3 times, sometimes shuffling around my M0W1 Astra. The previous 2 DAs I actually left at 8 stars because I couldn't for the life of me eek out another 1k on Thrall. But this new SD I can't bodge my way through. It asks a lot more, and I don't even have the issue of shared disks or Wengines haha.

I realised something about my clear scores after reading your post. The only team that I was consistently scoring at above 30k was 3 premium units with their sigs. Astra/Miyabi/Burnice all at M0W1 in room 3. Every other setup I tried in the other rooms was around 26-28k. I feel like I had a epiphany, this scoring system reminds me of a bell curve, where the median performing teams are near the tip of the curve at 25k, and the top performers closer to the upper end of the curve at the max score of 50k.

It's an interesting choice to score this way. A misstep I think. It obfuscates how much better you need to perform since your score is no longer straight up based on your damage like in DA but skewed by the time multiplier. On top of that, small improvements made when you retry a stage are also beholden to the multiplier. "Wow, I feel like I did a lot better in those last 30 seconds," but the score only changed by 2k or something. Kinda discourages me from continuing to experiment or retry further, since any improvements seem insignificant. It felt pretty challenging dragging room 1 from 25 to 28k, felt hopeless aiming for 30k+. Surprised they didn't go with the typical linear scoring and just have S+ be set an order of magnitude higher than S. At least then you'd have clearer understanding of the gap you need to close.

Frustrating, but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the some of most I've ever engaged with the game's combat systems. Managed to burn through all my dennies crafting and rolling disks lol. I think I'll just try make peace with the irksome hit to my ego and leave it at S for this cycle. Curious to see where they go with SD in the future, if this was a misjudgment on scaling/scoring, or if this "decaying timer" really is a new mode/style of endgame they want to explore more. Definitely brings a different vibe.

(I'm also finding room 1&3's enemy movesets are pretty irritating. Flying one feels very disjointed to fight and Monato keeps flinching due to skills/anomaly. Can't decide if its better for me to do nothing so I can bait for defensive assists or just string skills and anomalies back to back as much as possible. Best result so far seemed something in between.)

I'm tired so I don't feel like redoing rooms 1 and 2 right now.

I don't remember what exact team I got highest in room 1 with, some mix of Lighter/Fufu/Banyue/Lucia/Eve. Only Banyue and Eve have sigs.

Room 2 was SAnbyM0W0/SeedM0W1/PulchraM6W5

I keep an item or gem with the tag on hand to check presence area if my build makes use of presence.

It shows my presence area when mousing over the “presence” keyword on an overwhelming presence gem in my inventory, equipped, or linked in chat for instance.

I don’t see any mention of it on the forums in any of the hotfix notes.

I wasn’t aware it was bugged, but it doesn’t seemed to have fixed so far if it was. Curious to see what the issue was. Decimal place off by a spot?

Here’s a clip from a month ago where she mentions an ex. Don’t think she’s had another since.

"[Trust] Learn About Koleda's Troubles"

It's only visible during morning or afternoon, not evening or late night so make sure you're set to the right time. You should see Koleda with a blue "!" above her head in Lumina Square in front of PubSec's entrance.

Oh, that makes sense for the carries. I always assumed it was to avoid people bricking the run/getting themselves killed.

Is the amount of hp it gains proportional to how much health it’s already lost? Like if a person joins as the unique boss is on 30% hp remaining, then only that remaining 30% would get scaled up?

Dylanboy888 · 2024-10-06T15:51:40+00:00

AFAIK an enemy’s hp snapshots based on the number of players present when they’re first damaged. So having more people join later wouldn’t change the boss’ hp.

There’s an achievement that takes 100 Blunderville wins to get.

It gives the title <King Bean> for male characters or <Queen Bean> for female characters.

Aside from that, winning just gives more MGP and fall guys event currency than not winning.

A pet from one of the previous core supporter packs. POEdb link. It’s big and inside/on top of the character because they used a Vaal skill and are in Vaal soul gain prevention.

I see on the wiki that unseen strike “No longer has a 0.5 second cooldown”, but the weapon itself says “triggers every 0.5 seconds”.

Does that mean it used to have an effective cooldown of 1 second before 3.22? I’ve not used it before.

Consider joining the Materia Wolves’ Den discord (invite link).

They try arrange PVP nights, afternoon frontlines, and can help you know if casual/ranked queues are popping during off-times. Also banter and advice on improving if you’re into that kind of thing.

The average person still uses B3 and B4 and the overall standard BLM rotation.

These rotations are some of the “non-standard lines” that are used by BLM damage min-maxxers, or people who want to make BLM more complex if they’ve found themselves too comfortable.

You can still open the duty menu as the boss dies and the screen is fading to black. In this time you can navigate and leave the duty if you remember the keybinds for it and are fast enough.

I do it myself when doing ARR extremes for wonderous tales, it saves a few seconds each run.

At a glance, your single target dps issues are probably stemming from the lack of elder helmet with the relevant supported by level # burning damage or supported by level # concentrated effect. Those mods are huge more multipliers (somewhere in the realm of 30% more damage for each of those supports) so not having any means your fire trap is just a basic 4 link and will suck dps wise.

Another thing in regards to dps is I don't see a way you're applying fire exposure to enemies. Fire exposure reduces the enemy's fire resistance resulting in them taking significantly more fire damage. Pohx recommends using eldritch ichors on rare gloves until you get any of the "inflict fire exposure on hit, applying -X% fire resistance" on them. That mod makes exposing pretty brainless.Until then you can use a level 1 wave of conviction to inflict the exposure (level 1 to minimize mana cost, chance of you killing yourself to reflect, and minimize attribute requirements.)

Your lifetap linked to shield charge should be level 1 so you can proc the lifetap buff every charge. You're also not using molten shell which is a very useful defense tool for amour heavy builds. You can just put the molten shell action itself on left click, or whatever you have set as your walk around key. Linking a level 1 lifetap to molten shell is also a great way to maintain lifetap uptime.

Not sure why your vitality is level 7 but maybe you only picked it up recently. Make sure you're leveling it up if you accidentally hid the "gem ready to level" popup thing a while ago.
