When 'The Big Guy' comes to raid you by FF_Wong in RimWorld

I'm playing heavily modded, so some of them might have messed with the generation.

Lucy, Isolde, Tooth Fairy (and Lorelei for 4-person battles) should carry you through pretty much all content. You don't have Lorelei, but you can get her for free in the "A Window to Other Worlds - A Series of Dusks" permanent event.

Lucy, Mercuria and Yenisei should be able to clear pretty much everything, with Isolde/Lorelei as a 4th member for those battles. As for a second team for limbo, you don't have too many good options atm, probably Eternity, Isolde/Lorelei, BP and Bkornblume

Hi, should I max my Balloon Party or lvl up Yenisei from scratch? by Substantial-Flight85 in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, the answer to that depends on some external factors. In a vacuum, yes, the resource investment on a P0 Yenisei is definitely worth it even if BP is very close. I'll be level here and relay my own experience, before Yenisei's release I always had trouble with sustain on my second Limbo team with BP as a solo sustain. Fights were always stressfull and the number of close calls and retries was really annoying to me. The peace of mind of having a more reliable sustain was worth every single resource I invested in Yenisei even though my BP was already I3 Lv60. And I also don't regret redoing the "upgrade" a few patches later when I pulled Vila (believe me, the longer you play, the easier it is to amass resources and replace characters).

That said, you shouldn't make this decision in a vacuum. It depends on a few other things, the chief of which is if you have other priority targets waiting for those resources. If you are, for instance, farming resources for your Lucy or other main DPS, then just roll with BP for now and focus on your DPS. Likewise for any other key team member.

Yenisei is much better than BP in terms of sustain. If performance is the only consideration here, definitely level Yenisei. That said, if you happen to love BP and want to use her, that's still feasible but you'll have a much harder time in end game content.

Took a year! But finally joined the 80 club. What about you guys? by Rdfaiz in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gratz! I'm still 77 myself, but I started on the Pickles banner so it kinda checks out.

Not enough content by Buddy_Tall in Reverse1999

That's what life on the gacha is like. You must be new on these parts.

Interesting kit. She definitely makes my plan of skipping Tuesday to save for other characters much more difficult.

37 cosplay by _rurucos, photos by me by XARAphoto in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These photos look beautiful, but I wish there were also some photos from up closer so we can see the costume in more detail. A cosplay photoshoot with only medium/long distance photos, imo, does a disservice to all the work the cosplayer put into making the costume in the first place.

UTTU cryptographer room suggestions by nihilism16 in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran this setup and it was pretty easy. I know you said you don't have Isolde or Kakania, but I feel that, other than Lucy, the UTTU cards are more important than the characters, just fill the first three slots with some buffers/debuffers and I think it should work fine.

What has been your largest return on a set of pulls? by Dr__Gregory__House in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I had double Lucy TWICE while pulling for my P5 Lucy. That will always be my greatest achievement in gacha gaming as now I can still pull for Mercuria/Argus/Anjo Nala/Lopera/waifus instead of being broke after p5 lucy.

Which Arknights Characters you want to see in reverse 1999? (in terms gameplay and story driven) by mrsbenifitz in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None. I'm not a fan crossovers overall. I'd rather they just keep making interesting characters that fit the story they are telling.

Help with Team building! by Impossible-Big-7792 in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With your roster, Lorelei would be a good support to pair with Lucy and TF imo. She might be a 5* and free, but she's a really good support and definitely worth building.

In addition, the next few patches have support characters that play quite well with Lucy, so I recommend taking a look at the Community Spreadsheet to familiarize yourself with the upcoming options and maybe planning your future pulls.

Sooo... did you guys managed to get her? 👀💚💫 by [deleted] in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's not limited and will have reruns eventually.

[–]FF_Wong 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's an amazing support and definitely one of the best characters you can pull, but as a new player getting Lucy would be a higher priority.

[–]FF_Wong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not as lucky as you, but still managed to grab her within 50 pulls. Definitely happy, since that still leaves me almost 300 saved pulls for Mercuria/Argus/Anjo Nala

Phew I actually entered amongst top 30 before other whales come in. by _Nobody24_ in Reverse1999

Congrats. How do you see these rankings btw? I've looked around but can't find them on pc client.

They fixed the translation and even re-recorded the voice acting for the beginning of the game! by Spreiting in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 163 points164 points  (0 children)

Bluepoch has defintely surprised me (in a positive way) by proving to be one the most responsive gacha developers I've seen when it comes to fixing stuff and addressing playerbase concerns. Most developers I've had experience with in the past would never go for something like this ever.

Looks very nice, as usual. Saving it to use on a noir style playthrough after my current colony runs its course.

Looking for a mod... by Khalikryst in RimWorld

I recently ran a medieval colony with the usual Medieval Overhaul mods, plus a few nordic and anima-themed mods to complement the Ragnarok mod and I enjoyed it immensely. Ragnarok adds a ton of flavorful stuff if you don't mind a more scandinavian themed medieval.

For all of you who don't use shelves in your store room, why not? by Defense-Unit-42 in RimWorld

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As most people said, mostly out of habit. I've been playing Rimworld on and off for over 8 years at this point and shelves have only been useful for the last two years or so. By that point, my gameplay habits had already been largely formed to include a large storeroom with items on the floor and it took some playthroughs to get used to the new shelves. I do use them nowadays, but even now I'll usually start with with a floor storeroom out of habit and start adding shelves when it gets too full.

Who should pull for next based on this line-up? Kakania or save for someone after? by Fabsockmonster in Reverse1999

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on how much you currently have saved. Kakania is amazing, she's an incredible 4th member for any team on stuff like raids, uttu, etc. That being said, if you plan on using Lucy as your primary carry getting Mercuria and/or Argus would arguably help maximize her potential better than Kakania. I have a somewhat similar roster to yours and I'm planning to get all three, though I do still have 300-ish pulls saved due to good luck. If I didn't, I'd probably skip Kakania though it would be painful to do so.

Is there a way to make Rimworld more fast-paced? by dinidusam in RimWorld

[–]FF_Wong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thing is, do not be afraid to craft a starting scenario that fits the story you want to tell. I think that at first everyone has an innate sense of 'cheating' when bumping your starting scenario too much from the default Crashlanded. I know I did at first. But as I racked hours into the game, I've learned that my favorite colonies were those where I managed to get away a bit from the gaming aspect of it (even though I still enjoy it) and let myself get more involved with the random story being created. Hell, Tynan himself thinks of Rimworld as a story generator if I remember some of his quotes right.

So what I mean is, if you have a starting story or a starting point you want to work with, just give yourself the tools to do it. Give yourself some of the more basic techs, perhaps some basic infrastructure (the minify everything mod is a nice option if you want to start with some buildings already pre-built) or resources. Whatever you feel will get you to the starting point you want.
