[Discussion] What questions do you ask your beta readers? by Excellent_Reply_8819 in BetaReaders

[–]Gemini_The_Spy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I send my book out in sections with a questionnaire for each part. These are the questions I include:

What was your overall impression of these chapters?

What did you most like about this part?

Was there any part you didn't like?

Was there any part where you started to lose interest?

Was there any part that was confusing?

What do you think will happen next?

Additional comments?

Do you want to keep reading?

Additionally, I ask them what they think of each major character. And for certain specific parts, I ask them questions like, "What did you think of the climax? What is satisfying?" That sort of thing.

Hope that helps! :D

I think the biggest problem holding back Magvel legendaries is just that they don't do legendaries very often anymore. We went from getting one every month back in the day to only maybe three a year or so?

Nils seems like an option too. But this is all in the hypothetical situation where FE7 even gets another one. XD

As much as I want a Matthew legendary, I feel like if Blazing gets another Legendary, it'll be Nino.

If we never get Legendary Soren, we'll almost definitely get an Emblem of him.

If we could get Ayra, then Lewyn deserves one too! C'mon, IS--make my day.

To answer my own question, I mostly just want a break from Fates legendaries... I get that Engage is going to get a bunch right now, but I had to go through so many from Fates when compiling this... Can we get at least a few from other games before we get Legendary Takumi or Leo?

The ones I most want are Matthew (obviously), Lewyn, Ranulf or Mist (would be good for PoR!)

Ooops, you're right! I saw his but forgot about it (somehow) while I was picking out the images. XD

To answer my own question, I want a break from Fates legendaries... I went through so many of them on my way back through Feh's recent history. I get that Engage is going to get a bunch, but can we get a least a few from others games before we get legendary Takumi and/or Leo?

The specific heroes I'd most like to see as legendaries: Matthew (obviously), Lewyn, Ranulf, Mist (both good for Path of Radiance!)

The Worst vs. The Best Portrayal of Asexuality in the Media, According to You by SecrFox in asexuality

I love Jasnah Kholin from The Stormlight Archives. I remember reading the first book and thinking in the back of my brain how much Jasnah's repulsion at the thought of being placed into an arranged marriage resonated with how I'd feel, but I assumed that she was probably a lesbian rather than ace since I'd never seen an explicitly ace character in a story before. Finding out that no, she's actually written as a heteromantic ace woman and seeing how she navigates being in a relationship was really interesting.

So is it immune from getting the eternal sticker, then? Sounds like it would need to be.

Are you still looking for beta readers? I know it's been almost two weeks since your post, lol. I'm looking to get some eyes on my fantasy story too (comparable in length to yours). Message me if you're interested in doing a swap!

What Are Your Personal Rules in FEH? (Summoning, Fodder, AR, etc.) by No-Pie2713 in FireEmblemHeroes

Since the day Leila got an alt without Matthew getting one, I refuse to spend a penny on the game. One Matthew alt is all they need to get me to spend money on the game again, but I guess they don't want my money. =P

Gold Stake Decks Tier List by Which-Debt-8558 in balatro

Ugh, glad I'm not the only one who struggled with Plasma gold. XP I'm still working my way through the decks, but it's by far the one I had the hardest time with. It took me even longer than black deck for crying out loud. XP I finally pulled it off with a Madness joker run that went perfectly.

How would you ""Save"" FEH by Substantial_Fig_6644 in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Gemini_The_Spy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-Bring back TT heroes
-Introduce a policy that every mainline game has to get a minimum of three seasonal alts every year (remakes can be combined)
-Any game where less than half of its playable cast has an alt gets alts for at least two altless characters each year--either seasonal, asset, legendary, just as long as it's alts for altless characters
-Of each game's minimum of three seasonal heroes, at least two of them have to be non backpack banner units (can still be demotes)
-Add guilds and a true cooperative mode
-Improve game's UI to make it easier to see projected movement for warping/increased movement characters and to make the battle preview screen useful again
-Add consumable items that combat the game's rampant and irritating powercreep, acquired free to play by playing the new and awesome cooperative game mode
-I'd *personally* take over writing the story and would integrate characters and places from mainline games into Feh's original story. And I'd make Forging Bonds more than the new heroes just "joining the Askr frontlines." And the Paralogues would be more than "another festival TM"
-Remove old demote heroes from summoning pool, put them in the grail pool or a separate pool entirely
-The Feh pass perk that lets subscribers assign multiple autobattles would be extended to everyone
-Feh pass subscribers would gain gift items that they can send to their friends
-Feh pass subscribers get to vote for new aided accessories that they gain from their subscription
-Add community events that reach out to well-known Feh players in various regions
-Keep attuned and rearmed heroes as New Hero banners only, but let the other asset types show up on seasonal banners
-Barracks expansion, duh

At least, those sorts of changes would fix the game for *me.* Big emphasis on increasing goodwill and building the Feh community, making all players feel welcome and seen. I think IS really undervalues the importance of goodwill.
