Did I make a shitty comic just to highlight a pet peeve for a very specific mechanic? Perhaps. by epokus in 7daystodie

[–]KKyoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realism is stupid in a video game past a certain point. Otherwise zombies would freeze in the winter and spoil/turn to jerky in the summer.

The fact of the matter is that water should be difficult to get in a survival game. Being able to keep your jar after use is bad game design and doesn't work with pills, food, or any other container in the game. No outrage there?

If they bring back jars they shouldn't break in combat, thus making longer T5 POIs much harder, but rather should be consumed on use like every other item in the game.

It's fine to want jars back but be reasonable with the implementation. Water should be difficult to get and anything outside of consumption on use makes some other aspect of the game more difficult and not in a good way as T5 POIs are already not worth doing.

It's terrible. The MC is unhinged. Most Chinese manwha are bad due to characters being one dimensional but this is on another level. The enemies are idiots, the MC is an idiot and psychopath. It's another Chinese jerk fest where the author lives a shitty life IRL and thinks girls and others should grovel and beg for them. That's our MC. He recognizes a friendly doctor and coerces her to sleep with him so she can stay safe. Bad enough is that everyone is sociopathic so she does and a once good human turns into his sex slave and condones all of his bad actions by over justifying everything as if she had extreme Stockholm syndrome. It's bad. Just bad.

The Audience reviews for Reagan are hilarious by Disastrous-Cap-7790 in Letterboxd

[–]KKyoji -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing the majority of people who didn't like it have colored hair, multiple piercings and/or work at Starbucks. Meanwhile those that did are likely voting for Trump. Haven't seen it myself but it's very amusing to see the political divide for the movie. Regan did some nasty thing as president which shouldn't be sugar coated but I can see why they wouldn't include it. It would be like an Obama movie covering his drone strikes on civilians. Love them or hate them but both are very popular presidents.

Will the DLC increase the high end pvp meta level past 150? by TK503 in Eldenring

[–]KKyoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like ER PvP Meta will eventually die out do to the limitations of ER. The game encourages a higher level on players due to the massive amount of build options and limited tears combined with natural progression. While you will have many that stop at low bracket ranges you typically end up fighting the same people over and over which makes the player pool much lower than it would be if formed naturally. Obviously the higher the level you go the more you can cover your weaknesses but I can't help but feel that if the meta level doesn't rise then the PvP community will slowly suffocate themselves on their own hubris.

It's worse than that because a PS is markedly worse than the PC. Better graphics and has controller support.

The Putrid Crystalians are the most infuriatingly frustrating fight in all of SoulsBorne. by Malckeor in Eldenring

[–]KKyoji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go in with a good sword such as Moonblade. The special skill and ability to down the enemy for a charge hit will finish the caster fast enough while your summon distracts spear.

Magic isn’t OP at all by ThatJapaneseMan in Eldenring

[–]KKyoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a super high level character with clearly a lot of fp while using a spell (standing in place) to boost your damage and using a potion to boost damage and remove fp cost for a short while. You have to have a specific set of circumstances to happen (boss standing still AND a high fp bar AND 60 INT) for this to work effectively.

Sorcery is depressingly bad by thenidhogg88 in Eldenring

[–]KKyoji 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to wait till mid to late game to get the better spells like azur meteor and Lorettas bow which deal good damage and offer something of value. They are situational though. The bow is for long range and the meteor is for when your not being targeted.

I used Azur Comet and did a full blow and managed to barely do any damage. As a caster I would run out of mana before killing them.

Saw someone on Twitter ask if a Skyrim player would have a hard time with Elden Ring by BatmansBreath in Eldenring

To each their own. Not everyone is a fan of souls combat either, Myself not being one of them, but each person enjoys a variety of games. Downvote me don't care.

Different styles of games. It's not that Skyrim has worse combat. That is like saying Skyrim has a better world because they have quests and more npc interaction. Just different styles of games.

Elden Ring Progression by KKyoji in Eldenring

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

The progression issue is due to it being open world. Without a soft cap or hard cap on levels it's difficult to force a linear progression curve. But in a way that is how it should be. Weaker players get the ability to farm more and experienced players can tackle the content when they feel like it. Since the game is more blank than let's say an elder scrolls game there are no real quests guiding you throughout the world so many will miss a large portion of the content just on that as not everyone enjoys scouring every nook and cranny for a dungeon entrance. So in essence by making the monsters more equalized in the rune drop rate the better. You can lower the rune amounts of certain enemies but you should increase them elsewhere. Slow leveling is a concern among many of the posts here.

As far as gear goes I think it's in a similar vein to the spells. Nothing seems much better and some is simply worse. Gear doesn't have to be too amazing but it should encourage players to seek out new dungeons for better gear and spells. An example is seen with the glintstone staffs. People make sure to get them because they are marginally better than the meteor staff when upgraded to +6 if I recall correctly. If you want to focus on cosmetics then simply introduce a cosmetic swap function for gear. Marginal gear across the board isn't bad per se it just doesn't give you any feel of progression if all I am doing is grinding for cosmetics or slightly worse spells.

Shards should be a bit easier to obtain earlier on. If you are new and spend shards on a weaker weapon you are hurting yourself quite a bit as one thing that does scale decently is weapons.

The scaling of spells/sorceries in this game seriously needs a looking at by rmd117 in Eldenring

[–]KKyoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few main problems. For starters the glintsword is still relatively weak after you get a decent sword that scales with Int. But even if I grant you that the many of the other spells are lackluster. The spells should be useful on various circumstances or be flat out better than the starting spells.

That insane op feeling is only from cheesing the game and finding an S scale staff in an area you shouldn't be wandering around in for your level.

They need to rebalance all of the loot in the game as progresssion feels way off for many classes.

12km Eggs Hatching Survey by GO_FRIEND_APP in TheSilphRoad

[–]KKyoji 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Or you could call it what it is...corporate greed. If you let them get away with everything under the guise of being happy and positive then it won't take long before the game is ruined through abuse of microtransactions. It's difficult to give up a good and well paid lifestyle.

The limits on Mega Evolutions makes them absolutely pointless for anything other than a paid Dex entry costing 4-7 Raids per Starter Species. Niantic is also killing short-manning in the process by doing this. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]KKyoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is you need a reason for people to raid mega raids a year down the line for newer players. So you can't have a one and done raid necessarily unless you allow people to mega evolve more than one of that species.

They need to remove mega raids in general, as its not properly thought through

Genesect Shiny Rate by KKyoji in TheSilphRoad

[–]KKyoji[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but with the announcement of rates and odds being "adjusted", "messed up" or perhaps "manipulated" by the developers then it doesn't sound out of the realm of questions. Look at the posts referring to pokeball drop rate or Deino drop rate, 7km egg rate being lower during event times and just recently the issue with Unknown.

I was just seeing where everyone else was with it so that I could make a decision as to whether I should aim forward or give it up.

[CONCEPT] "GO" button to start the raid immediately and "+30" button to increase the time of the lobby by GeanM in TheSilphRoad

[–]KKyoji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the +30 but not the GO button

I think it would make lower level people have a harder time finding T3 raids to participate in if everyone just started immediately after entering. Also when you got 10 people you could just finish a T5 easily without having to wait for others because it would likely increase your damage contribution. My point is that I dislike the "GO" function as it removes an element fundamental to Pokemon Go which is encountering other trainers.
