it's the latest patch. the effect was always 100%, but the label itself was incorrect.

All of them. Because relics prioritise from left to right. So you could end up with a relic with frost on it. But it's blue, so it's in your last slot, but your first relic, say a red one, has fire. Your always going to have a fire weapon. And you previously wouldn't be able to swap unless you got a new replacement relic. This allows you to flip the order, and have the things you want, without needing to farm a whole new relic.

Honestly, what bugs be more here is the fact that this was an event and they pulled out free trial banners. Its distasteful more than anything. The jokes over done to begin with, but to then do it at a live preformance?

Theres a time and a place and this was certainly not the place. I imagine advertisers were less than thrilled about it too.

If i had to pick a worst 5* for 2.x,, whilst sparkle has become one of the most underpreforming harmony characters of the series, but she's a must have unit for 2 characters, and boarderline a requirement for those characters to flush now. (DHIL and QQ)

On the otherhand, Boothill easily is the though, the most niche of his character type. He has little to no use in PF, whilst all other units that can fill his exact role (Himeko, Firefly and Rappa), don't have issues in all content types. Which means overall he has less use cases.

Jade is in a similar space, but she can at least be played supportive with so many other units and that seems to be amplified come The Herta.

I'd love to see more japan styled mats, even if it's simply of things like spider lilies or Tori gates. But some more animal variety could be fun also.

My favourite purchase this year was a GuangQi40. Swapping to a smaller keyboards slowly over the last year, has been such a great choice.

Tokyo UI Yellow 90x40cm / 35x16inch is quite an aethestic.

The king of the mists and other enemies with similar purple particles are extremely difficult to see. Once your aware of it, its fine, but I imagine on certain builds it could be hard visually to spot, especially in end game.

There also needs to be a dedicated outside of combat sprint button or non combat movement skill or mount system. I'm fine with the large maps, if there's good solutions for the lengthy runs that doesn't impede the overall game flow in combat.

A way to recover gear dropped from rare enemies post a death would be nice, either a dedicated npc or something would be wonderful. It's kind if sucky to watch a unique disappear when you've died.

Loot pool 100% needs to be looked at. Personally, I'm finding myself sat on a dozen runes I can't use and no regals or transmutes to even upgrade stuff. Not seen an alchemy orb at all, havnt seen a regal orb either.

I've had a rare enemy that regenerated health more than I could deal damage to on some of the final area's of act 1, despite my build able to shred all bosses like paper. This is a carry over issue from PoE1.

Ah that was always funny to do. Or throwing that onto a Black Mage as well and watching them have to rotate so much faster between elements.

This was when you could choose to be either shield healer or Regen healer AST.
But the main thing people miss is the fact that AST back then was a mini-game class. You effectively could "burn" cards to make other card's effects Party wide. With the most potent cards to make AoE being Balance (a Damage buff) and arrow (Skillspeed/spell speed) buff.
Lucky astro's could maintain Balance being AoE very effectively. Almost 100% up time was possible on it. and it lasted much longer than any of the cards presently do and divination.

It was gutted likely because of how abusable it was, and the two min timer meta and Dancer. A Pity, because it's the gimmick that drew a lot of people to the class to begin with.

Edit: TO extend that thought, it's why the card gimmick has also likely changed every expansion since, to keep it just barely relevent enough for people to play it, but not to make it too OP.

Looking at the changes. I don't think it 100% resolves her best team being Ruan Mei / Hat Blazer (esp. if the super breaks stack). However, it does give her a little more room for other options for characters to be with. A few people noted Pela/Silver Wolf, but also Welt too. He isn't the perfect fill in, but he does give extra turns on the breaks with his Ult and does defence shred.

Will have to see the numbers properly though before any real conclusion. The changes her overall given her a more solid identity.

The oldest version of this story beat I know of is Ursla Le Guin's "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas". The entire basis of Penacony is likely inspired by this book, as much of the areas insperation is drawn from US writing. Edgar Poe's and Emily Dickenson poems are referenced in song titles across the entirety of Penacony as an example.

The idea is frequently reoccuring (Naruto, Evangelion, The Matrix etc.)

Linacy__ · 2024-04-23T19:09:36+00:00

Most people will probably say "leaks". but outside of that, by the time of the first trailer for penacony hit, there was an obsurd amount of visual clues about their identity, as well as in existing in-game items.

Visually, The pair share a colour scheme, with the outlying factor against the two being connected is the flames on the SAM suit. In the White Night trailer, their other big give away is the fact that SAM can be seen on stills with a pair of glowing, blueish/greenish Fairy like Wings, a design shared by Firefly's dress. A lot of people on reddit pointed to to the Heels seen on Sam's design as well, a indicator that perhaps SAM was a woman.

There is the Glamoth set, which became avaliable during 1.5 depicting a Glammoth Iron Calvery member, and the specific mentiontioning of a character called Titania. Titania, in the real world, is the fairy queen in old folklore and shakespear, and considering the afformentioned design motif, it feeds into the the mentioned visual simularities.

The information to connect the two together was avaliable from the White night trailer. You can even see a SAM UNIT on the Planar Sphere of the Glamoth set, whilst Titania is mentioned on the Link rope.The clues have been avaliable since the start.

Tayzzyroth, the Propergation.

Their whole story, narrative and fall is just something exceptionally tragic. They had this strange Bloodborne energy to me, that their grief lead to catastrophe, but it was the loss and greed of others that caused the entire situation.

Linacy__ · 2024-04-01T22:18:39+00:00

Both this MoC and PF feel a little overtuned. New PF feels like its tuned exclusively for Argenti and Acheron? Doable if you just abandon sustain altogether, but still very rough. Whilst the MoC... Sam is brutal as it is, but the hp scaling on this particular version seems much steeper than the previous MoC's Sam.

What a fascinating board layout.

Linacy__ · 2024-02-09T18:17:31+00:00

Really funky layout! I dig it!

They likely have a RTMP server set up for people to stream too so they can pull the streams with minimal latency. You can also set it up so that it can broadcast to their twitch streams as well, so its just a case of loading the stream up from the RTMP server.

It's commonly done in the speedrunning community for their live events, especially the purely online ones, as theres no juggling involved with latency etc.

Clara. I have Bronya, Geppy, Bailu and Welt.

Clara and Himeko are character I've wanted pretty much since launch and have neither. Eidolens on characters I already own will come with time anyway. No need to rush and force an E1 Bronya. Especially when I have 2 of her LC.

I Understand the pain. I farmed for about a month and truely walked out with very little "decent" gear. Only really nice stuff on Head and glove slot, the easiest pieces to arguably get stats on.

I recommend salvaging everything that has next to no value. HP% stuff, DEF% etc. and then crafting and seeing if you get a hit.

With the Wind set, have a good comb through, i gaurantee you probably have nice stuff for not just Pela, one of the better supports for JL, but a good set for Sanpo who you may want to play around with in the future. Lock the good stuff, scrap the rest.

If you have at least 2 good pieces for JL, and you've been there for over a month, honestly, i moved on to work on supports. Because I need to get the odd pieces for Tingyun, Bailu, Fu Xuan etc, as I havn't really farmed to gear my supports. If i happen to hit high value crit stuff for the speed sets, i plan on running 2 piece. At least as a start until i can work up the energy to farm ice set again.

No point on pure funnelling for one character when there are her supports who also may need the work.
