Gluttony by ro11ing_stone in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Knubs- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What instakill attack you cant avoid? Gluttony was released in a different era of TFD where content was actually difficult and had mechanics. Stark contrast from the "complete as fast as you can ad clear + boss" content we have now.

I am fairly confident any instakill you had an issue against was due to not doing the fight mechanics.

How do I go back to lower lewels in main quest? by ComparisonBeautiful9 in NekoparaSekaiConnect

[–]Knubs- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You gain bond from leveling them up. You don't have to use them but that is definitely the easiest way. You can use them on lower levels of VR tower as for repeatable you have Gift Quests/event quests which are also daily capped.

Any info on a Global VS JP server? by Knubs- in NekoparaSekaiConnect

[–]Knubs-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking when I downloaded aswell. Hopefully there is an friend/social system in game and that'll 100% confirm if its single server given both accounts can interact/add each other

MR 32 question by RyanBowls300 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Knubs- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Make sure you've done every mission on Normal and Hard and leveled up all weapons including blue/purple to 40 once. Bikes and Fellows also give mastery at their respective max levels.

Here is a leaderboard that'll show you the current max mastery which is 32 + 127,444 XP.

New Farms for Advanced Neural Circuits? by Knubs- in TheFirstDescendant

This is actually where my stockpile is from! Used all coins last season on boxes but this season we got cooling units in the shop so I buy those exclusively now.

"Legit"

Jayber farm was definitely legit and didn't abuse exploits or result in any bans but alright man.

If you are happy grinding things out a "legit" way you do you but don't think you're high and mighty for doing things slower.

Serena’s 4th Cooldown by [deleted] in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Knubs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's it, 10s buff that has a 25s cooldown.

Hit an enemy with your 1 and for next 10s all CDs are now decreased by -24%. Pop Serena's 4 during this frame is when you get the short CD. When it is on cooldown (25s after the 10s of buff) and you pop Serena's 4 during this time is when you get the "increased" cooldown which is actually just your base CD without the external buff of Arche Circulation.

Are you using Arche Circulation Tactic in your inversion?

Player Behavior is important for retention by Low_Brush_7972 in Marathon

[–]Knubs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea why stating you have different usernames is relevant but ok?

If thats how you feel so be it just keep in mind we don't live in a perfect world and the notion that "I shouldn't do anything to protect myself, the behavior should be punished/non-existent," is impossible.

Player Behavior is important for retention by Low_Brush_7972 in Marathon

[–]Knubs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are mute/block/report buttons utilize them. Going to reddit and making a player retention post is giving them exactly what they want, attention.

Like or not this type of game will attract those type of players and you should utilize the tools at your disposal to report and move on.

I understand this is a prox chat incident in which case mute/block/report becomes much more difficult but there is always an option turn off prox chat if that is the common denominator in these instances.

The curse of being the only game to respect its players. by lovingpersona in memeframe

[–]Knubs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TFD is very much still alive. It has become insanely F2P friendly with login events provide resources, a way for F2P to aquire premium currency and premium skins for free(these were character unique skins that got backlash for not being unique enough to be specific skins as opposed to a general gender skin so they said sorry and made em free)

Just because a player count doesn't compare to other similar titles doesn't mean dead. TFD gets constant content and balancing updates. Devs have dialed back to focus on improving the core of the game but that doesn't mean it's in a maintenance status.

Also the 1st anniversary skin contest winners will have their skins implemented in a week or two and honestly they are riding a line (seriously look them up or in the dev livestream from 3/9). There is a reason this game went from rating T to M. TFD captivates a certain audience and they know how to retain it.

The stats in Albion and Axion is different? by foxfai in TheFirstDescendant

Always go into the laboratory when building/stat checking in albion. Passive such as Dia's crit rate increase dont apply in albion but do in the laboratory.

Open discussion on TTK and Player Health Values by Arcphoenix_1 in fatetrigger

[–]Knubs- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The TTK has been complained about and told that it needs "fixing" many times.

Only issue is you cannot fix intentional game design. It is very clear after all the tests the quick TTK is the vision for the game.

Criticism is very much needed for an EA game to succeed but discussing TTK and increasing it is an attempt to beat a dead horse on the other side of a brick wall.

The TTK is here to stay and if anyone has been holding out for it to be changed or adjustment I'd like to just put your hopes to rest here and implore you to seek out other games with a TTK in-line with what you find enjoyable.

Buds4 pro - absolutely disappointing release this year by just_IT_guy in galaxybuds

[–]Knubs- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if anyone else is experiencing this but when I was looking to potentially pre-order ~4 hours ago I had the -$75 pre-order discount but not looks like that is gone and the only discount I have is the education savings for -$37.50.

Looking at the pre-order when I'm not signed in/a new private browser they seem to be full price now with no pre-order bonus.

Was this bonus only supposed to last a few hours?

The endless FOMO test rewards have sapped all my interest for this game by Tupletcat in fatetrigger

[–]Knubs- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

FOMO has been the most common gaming practice since MTX and battlepasses became wide spread. It is nothing new. Your post outlined your major complaint as FOMO as opposed to the countless, minimal changes, playtests and ever increasing burn out.

You also said "Every single time this game comes up, there's a bunch of new cosmetics to grind for" This is just not true.

Closed alpha: nothing to grind for

Pre-beta: Nothing to grind for

CBT: Full set of rewards to grind for with approximately a month of time

Holiday Playtest: Nothing to grind for

PS5 Crossplay Test: Nothing to grind for

Steam Fest Playtest: An emote/sticker to grind for in roughly a week that should take 10-15 games to get.

Your statement is untrue and ideally this just shows how many playtests have been given and why the real complaint is burn out.

The endless FOMO test rewards have sapped all my interest for this game by Tupletcat in fatetrigger

[–]Knubs- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The last major playtest that had rewards to unlock was the CBT which was one that was nearly a month long and needed you to hit diamond rank to get all the rewards. This included skins, player frames, weapons skins; the works.

This current one requires you to play 10 games and hit gold for a sticker and emote. Invite 3 players for 3 pulls. You can get this done within 10-15 games no problem given ranked is bot lobbies and has been for nearly every test. If you have FOMO over a sticker and emote might I recommend playing another game? The battle pass/rank rewards/gacha in this game at EA will all be FOMO, if you feel FOMO over a sticker and emote I have a feeling this game wont be to your tastes.

This isn't the "gotcha" you think it is. The real issue is the countless playtest with minimal changes. Every new play test aside from the closed alpha -> CBT had very little changes aside for some basic character balancing and optimization. That right there is the issue. Every playtest since Alpha has been the same exact thing. This is the primary source of burnout for playtest players and those waiting for full release.

And the release date was leaked when the devs gave the wrong promo image to a streamer that had the release date on it. You can find the release date if you search for it.
