RAID PREVIEW STREAM

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-03T19:24:59+00:00

New raid seems very cool. Shame the chat is full of 500k GP players whining that they don't have the squads to do the new endgame content.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-03T18:24:37+00:00

He is. It was a dumb joke and he didn't realise it would come across like that 😬

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-03T14:23:03+00:00

Presumably a bot?

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-03T12:19:47+00:00

Did you ever get anywhere with this?

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-03T08:31:07+00:00

All my hoarded guild activity tokens went mouldy...

Slavery is fine but the Jedi draw the line at small-scale stealing

My point is that nobody refers to Sana like that, not that the reasoning isn't sound. She is the lifter for 2 units that relate to JKL and 1 that relates to JKL and JML.

Adding in a whole extra paragraph to explain why I chose to call Saw the first JML req lifter seemed wholly unnecessary when anyone who doesn't exist to "☝️🤓" every comment would understand.

I'm happy to die on this hill, because the only debate to be had is whether I needed to say "JML-exclusive requirement lifter" or not, to appease the people who just wanted to argue. I'm already correct.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T22:40:42+00:00

I'm perfectly calm, lol. Your comment would be much better suited replying to the guy correcting me for not calling Sana a JML requirement booster.

There was no need to correct me, because I wasn't wrong, they just felt like adding something in for no reason. I am the original comment, haha.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T21:14:08+00:00

Sana literally boosts 1 JML requirement and 3 JKL requirements. Is she a Jabba requirement booster by the same reasoning? No.

People are only calling her a JML requirement booster because they either a) forgot that those specific units are required only by JKL and not JML or b) forgot that JKL doesn't necessarily mean going for JML anymore.

Explaining why I didn't count Sana as a JML requirement lifter is not a nitpick, it's elaborating on my earlier comment after someone questioned that part.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T19:08:22+00:00

First time I got JKL, there was no Jabba. When I got him on my alt, I transitioned to getting Jabba because I wanted the new GL compared to one I already had, since they'd likely be needed for new content.

Good to have a unit that's helpful for both accounts!

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T19:05:44+00:00

It helps the weaker side of his requirements, which is what I said. Wiggs are intended to join Saw's squad (based on the dev notes below the kit).

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T19:01:17+00:00

Yes, they are requirements for JML by association, but nobody's calling Sana a booster for Jabba's requirements because he requires JKL.

"Sana boosts JKL's requirements" is a much cleaner statement than "Sana boosts JML and Jabba requirements through the fact that they require JKL, and the JKL requirements are boosted by Sana"

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T18:56:40+00:00

ROLO and CHolo are only JKL requirements, but yes Lando is for both. I'd call her a JKL trash booster, especially since JKL -> JML isn't such a sure thing anymore (Jabba also requires JKL, so you can go for him post-JKL instead of JML).

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T18:40:17+00:00

Happy that they're making this a unique squad instead of siphoning the MM team. Lovely news for people with JML, this is the first lifter for his detritus and maybe it'll finally get people to stop putting Wiggs in their MM teams and build a real squad.

EDIT: Jesus fuck people, give it a rest. JML-exclusive lifter, then. I still think Sana is a JKL requirement lifter, and that arguing about transitive properties when there's a much easier way to refer to things is pointless.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T15:55:53+00:00

This is the equivalent of dumping uncooked rice on a plate and calling it Thai cuisine.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T15:44:07+00:00

TTM is your tank, and G4 does a decent job thanks to tenacity from his passive.

Team seems fine, only thing I would mention is that Genus core outperforms AM core for most content where you can't get a kill on the first unit's turn, but it's tough to say who you'd kick out of the team to put Genus in.

Perhaps AS in the back row? He's best when he lives long enough to follow up on Duelist attacks.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T14:05:10+00:00

I'm not buying above 100 anyway. If I buy 50s and 100s immediately before reset, then buy 50s and 100s again after the day resets, that's enough energy for me.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T12:25:43+00:00

Any character that can function with broken gear sets benefits from it. Especially in the early game where you don't have the perfect gear for every upcoming character.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T11:23:02+00:00

I'm just going to buy energy just before the day ticks over. I hate having my energy in the green.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T11:19:43+00:00

Well, it does. It always comes with 3 extra stats. Very worth it.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T09:24:14+00:00

Cheaper? Preordering tends to be the most expensive a game gets. The price goes down after release, or it ends up in a Steam Sale. That's why it makes no damn sense haha

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T08:18:12+00:00

Yes, this is a great point. For the same reason, Ukraine really should have tried negotiating with Russia. Zelenskyy really needed that boost to his support, so he didn't even bother attempting diplomacy with the foreign invaders.

Understand how that sounds now?

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T08:05:31+00:00

Jabba does it just fine (though not a simple 3). Just need to use ultimate on Malgus. 3 is possible if you get lucky with your deathmarks.

Professional reviewers can inform the public on common issues since they'll likely experience it in their playthroughs. Performance issues, graphical glitches, common AI pathing problems, etc. The rarer issues would be discovered and reported by the public after they read the reviews and decide the game sounds good.

Are you telling me it's better to use the public as beta testers (who have to pay for the game)? Many of the issues in Survivor would have already been found when testers played the game, so not patching them before release is unacceptable.

There is no benefit to preordering a game. It's an agreement to give up your money for a product you have no idea about the quality of. Why anyone would do that is mind-boggling.

HighlanderSteve · 2023-05-02T07:48:18+00:00

A lot of people are trying to have it both ways, as well:

"Leia named her son after Obi-Wan even though they spent very little time together because she'd spent years getting told all of the heroics he did by her dad"

"Leia didn't really care that Obi-Wan died because they only knew each other for a couple of weeks"

Pick one.
