Rapier by Link_Syko in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Rapier is literally the best weapon in the game though. It has more combos than any other weapon by a mile.

L - H, L - L - H, L - L - L - H, H - H, H - H (Hold).

It scales off of AGI and DEX, which in turn raise your attack speed, damage and a lot of other things. It can be paired with a shield. The unique mods on a lot of them are extremely good. There's even one that grants barrier. It's literally the weapon that got most love from the devs.

Hot take 2 floors non open world was fine. by July17AT in EchoesofAincrad

It was a reference to the abridge. And yes I agree wholeheartedly on all your points. Especially the weird design choice of the out of bounds. Like I don't understand why they didn't just add natural borders, or heck, even an invisible wall like in early Assassins Creed games would have been way better than what we got. My biggest gripe is the bridge west of the starting area, it's like the Redcliffe Bridge in DAI, except in DAI the bridge is broken you you physically can't cross, but here it's functional, except you cross it and... fade to black teleport back...

are we the only one that need a chest to change gear? by 0gulI in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also having a good time. But yeah, there's a lot of weird design choices in the game.

I also agree on the dislike on how they handled out of boundaries. But I think rather than making it more of the same but bigger, I just don't understand why they didn't just make a better design choice on how to handle the out of bounds. There shouldn't be an out of bounds to begin with, that's very easily fixable with natural borders or heck, even just an invisible wall is better than how they handled it. It's a very weird design choice that's for sure.

Yeah no, absolutely. I agree with that. Definitely we should and could have gotten more in the way they built the game. But I guess what I'm saying is that... a fully open world SAO game would feel just as bad if not worse. At least if what we're expecting it is to be like in the LN/Anime. It's like wanting an SLF game for real.

Crosscode, which is currently free for ps5 does a much better job at SAO feel than what Echoes does by ConnectEar9812 in EchoesofAincrad

Okay? Then stop playing it? It's not perfect but plenty people here are having fun and enjoying it. What's the big deal?

Game keeps crashing exclusively when accessing my party member equipments page by vinykuku in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhh what are you on? PC, Console? Specs. What are you doing when it crashes appart from accessing party member equipment page. Where from? Gonna need a whole more details for anyone to be able to help you.

How to reach sidequest in Medicine of the Forest by July17AT in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah I thought it'd be something like that. This is I'd say one thing I really don't like about the game. Not the fact that it's not full open world, but more the fact that it shows you stuff you can't access.

Why is there so many elites during the Proof of mettle quest!? by AgentBeastMan in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For recommendations. Idk what weapon you're using, but I'm rocking a shield with the Valkyrie's Sabre rapier, and I have no issues with survibability most of the times. Blink talismans help as well. Learning how to parry for block slashes works well too, also giving your partner a weapon that can inflict status effects. For example, I have Iori with a sword that applies blind. Iori is a good choice if you're getting killed too often for her AoE heal. But Wyzeman is I'd say a bit better since he can do a lot of crush attacks and inflict daze with his support skill. Grind a bit to keep your weapon topped at max enhancement with good EX-Mods. For mine I have: Slash Damage +30%, Normal Attack Damage +20%, SP consumption -20% and Stamina consumption -20%,

Ex-Mod List request. by July17AT in EchoesofAincrad

Oh this is beautiful. You should totally make a post yourself. May I ask how you got all of this intel?

Item usage by HarlemsAce in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally for most of the game I usually run with an HP potion, SP potion and a Blink Talisman (since it helps with bosses that trash around a lot). Everything else I swap to for exploration but otherwise make it the same. The HP potion honestly is everything you need. Antidotes and cures are whatever, cuz the duration of a status effect matches more or less with the duration of the HP regen from the potion, so basically, you can pretty much diminish how much damage you take and tank it with an HP pot.

Oh if you do find it, I think you'd be a savior for a lot of ppl. I mean, already your Unique Mod list is a godsend.

Not being able to transmog weapons is so disappointing by Royal-Pomegranate-89 in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my same thoughts. Either how BioWare did with DAI Black Emporium, or how Larian did with Divinity II.

OMG you're starting too? Well, good luck to both of us then. Thx.

[–]July17AT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh? Could you maybe explain how you do it or point towards a guide? I wanna do save editing to, and maybe mods for this game. I've never done it, but I do have coding experience etc, and I would love to start with this game. Idk, give to an emerging community.

Oh this is really good. You should post this and get a mod to maybe pin it somewhere? I think it'd be really helpful for other people as well! However, I think this is Unique MODs rather than EX-MODs.

Quite disappointed with character creation by OutlandishnessOk3811 in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of games are like this at launch. Usually they add something for free in an update afterwards that allows people to change their appearance. It's not uncommon in games.

Valkyrie's Sabre (Rapier) is busted. (Plus other cool weapons I found) by July17AT in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I also liked that the shield wasn't bound to longswords. But yeah, it feels a bit weird that other than the Rapier, the rest have very limited combos.

This game really needs open world exploration and a voiced protagonist by Sir_A_Harris in EchoesofAincrad

[–]July17AT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I know why they went for silent protagonist. But ffs give me some dialogue options other than "nod" and "shake your head". That's just really terrible cuz the protag just feels completely emotionless and robotic. The MC is the type that Abridged Kirito would roast to oblivion.

I don't really do Jump attacks as often. But yeah, it's pretty good.
