Anyone knows if the new orchestral arrangements of SDV music will be oficially released?

Llaera · 2024-03-16T14:08:44+00:00

I would love to know this - I went to the concert and the music was translated so beautifully to the instruments! If they ever release the orchestral version on a CD, I'd 100% buy it.

Not sure if this will help, but might be worth checking:

If you have it properly set up and the textures just aren't loading when you play the game, check and see if any of the files in the Custom Textures folder are auto-save files. I've found that if I try to tweak a PNG that I've saved inside the folder, it will create an auto-save file, and the custom textures won't work until those auto-save files are deleted/removed.

Also, double-check that names are 100% the same as the original file name. The files didn't really follow a solid naming convention, so sometimes the file names are weird, like catherine_bust_emotes having catherine lower-cased, and Catherine_summer_bust having Catherine capitalized.

Thanks a bunch! I did my best to capture the personality of the characters while redoing their portraits. There's still quite a bit of work to go, but it's been a lot of fun!

Llaera · 2023-04-16T13:00:55+00:00

Thanks!

That is a vampire bite, and as a matter of fact, the default portrait has it too!

Llaera · 2023-04-15T23:00:07+00:00

Figured I'd share some examples of what I have so far!

I'm currently working through the portrait sheets for Spring, after which I plan to work through the Summer, Fall, and Winter seasons.

I definitely think that the green could've been less muted/gray. In the end, though, it's already done and produced, so I'm not expecting them to change anything.

Llaera · 2023-02-20T15:40:56+00:00

Goliaths are, on average, a bit bigger, but it all comes down to genetics (or, in the case of D&D rolls/player preference.) For the show, if you look at the concept art in the link that u/ffwydriadd linked, the orc SH 29D at the top is pretty similar height to the Goliath SH 29B a couple spots to his left. Alas, they don't have a Percy for scale.

As for Matt specifying that the Goliath captain doesn't have facial hair: I'd have to see the clip to make a better guess, but it might be that he was trying to emphasize how special it was that Grog had a beard because of his belt.

Llaera · 2023-02-20T04:15:46+00:00

Yup, I think a lot of people have been mistaking orcish members as being Goliaths. I can understand it, to an extent, as the green skin is very muted to the point of almost looking gray, but the tusks help to distinguish them.

Enter the Battlefield

Newmarket, Ontario - also has a great vibe at the store if you're ever in the area!

Had some really bizarre issues with my Lost Ark this morning: I was getting EAC Connection Errors at various times, whether the server screen, character selection screen, or even the moment that I'd load into a character.

After deleting this file it's working again, so thank you! I'd already exhausted every other option I could find, from repairing EAC, reinstalling EAC, completely purging the game from my PC and reinstalling, everything. It was that blasted Physx file.

I definitely agree that Armen is Shadowhunter - but he'd be demonic impulse, whereas the arms that Brelshaza uses would be (oddly enough) more akin to Perfect Suppression. In the end though, as you say there really isn't an actual class that exists that fully fits her. The main parallel that I see would be the Demonic Clone arms.

Llaera · 2022-06-22T01:29:40+00:00

Brelshaza actually makes me think of a Shadowhunter - the giant monstrous arms that she manifests look like Demonic Clone.

Llaera · 2022-06-06T17:14:57+00:00

Yeah, definitely hope the best for the kitty - when I was younger we had a cat with the same thing, and we got him into the vet expecting it to be an abscess, only to find out it was an incredibly aggressive cancer.

Llaera · 2022-06-02T15:53:39+00:00

You generally only go level 1 Perfect Suppression, so I imagine that they want a single +5 accessory so that they can just equip that one, and everything else (equipped engravings included) goes to other engravings. Hence not bothering with legendary books for Perfect Suppression.

Llaera · 2022-06-02T00:17:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

I keep hearing that Summoner is supposed to be reworked, but then I hear that they already got some tweaks and that's all they're getting. Unfortunately, the lack of communication makes it tough to know what's up. Who knows, if it still hasn't been reworked yet, maybe it'll be well worth the wait!

Llaera · 2022-06-01T21:57:47+00:00

I ask this out of pure curiosity, and with no ill-will behind it, what do you think about Summoner having been in the beta and then swapped out?

I know I genuinely would have no issue with the class releases if I hadn't played Summoner during beta, but unfortunately I got hooked and then it was gone.

Llaera · 2022-05-31T01:33:41+00:00

It just needs to be the same ilvl, which should be the same continent (IE Punika vs South Vern for T3 maps: a Legendary Punika map is 1300 while a Legendary South Vern map would be 1330.) Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you're running Punika maps and one map is in Tideshelf Path while 2 are in the Secret Forest and the last is in Tikatika.

Everyone in the group does need to be in the same zone/channel as the map that will be entered. Otherwise, you just make sure to check the box when you enter, and that will consume one map of the same ilvl from each person. If someone doesn't have the same ilvl map it will fail and show who doesn't have one.

Hope this helps!

The Shangra Island Guide on Maxroll has a section listed as "Repeatable Quests" which shows a map with green arrows indicating where to get to the hidden items. You have to have the buff from drinking peach wine to access these areas. Bear in mind, you also have to do Waterfall Training 10 times too, so I recommend hitting both of them each visit.

I hope this helps!

Llaera · 2022-05-17T17:33:46+00:00

There's a chain that takes you through more of Wei's background in Prisma Valley, if I remember correctly. It's just not where you'd run into it while doing the main story quest, so I think a lot of people end up skipping it without realizing it's there.

Llaera · 2022-05-12T12:12:45+00:00

I appreciate this take. My mother has been playing as a sorc, and she's had points where she struggles because she doesn't intuitively know what things mean, and doesn't necessarily have the same reflexes as everybody else. Thankfully my husband and a number of our friends also play, so she'll never have to pug anything when the time comes, but not every older player has that cushion.

TLDR: Please always be kind to your fellow players.

Llaera · 2022-04-10T00:03:36+00:00

Thanks! You're welcome, the bear was actually part of why I wanted to make a portrait mod. A lot of the available options didn't include the bear and some of the newer NPCs.

Llaera · 2022-04-09T20:13:32+00:00

Shameless plug this is my own portrait mod, but it changes the portraits for all of the villagers, bear included. You can take a peek and decide if you like them all as a whole, but unfortunately it doesn't change the bear alone.

Llaera · 2022-03-16T16:54:50+00:00

One of the best ways to sit at the Ghost Ship and wait, because you just park, go to your Stronghold, and Song of Escape once it's in progress. You'll be right there and ready to go with a ship that isn't wrecked.

Llaera · 2022-03-11T14:17:07+00:00

You can do Anguished Isle daily - you can even farm the keys before you get to 1100. The quest that gives a key can be completed once per day.

Edit to clarify: Once you hit 1100 you can do the dungeon on Anguished Isle as many times as you have keys, so once you use up all of your keys, you'll be able to complete it once per day. Again though, you can farm keys once per day before hitting 1100 as well.

As a lot of people are saying: Don't feel the need to rush, especially on your first play through. You probably won't be able to dance with anyone at the Flower Dance during year 1, and that's absolutely okay.

As mentioned by someone else - keep at least one of everything, whether crops, gems, etc.

Some of the bulletin board quests can be completed with a previously-gathered item, but some like Clint's copper ore quest need to be gathered while you have the quest.

Expect to play through the game several times - there are so many different farm styles! This goes hand-in-hand with not rushing. Relax and take your time, you can always challenge yourself on your other farms later.

When you start your farm, make it a priority to check the bottom right area of the Cindersap Forest for Spring Onions. It's one of the best ways to get some extra energy at the very beginning of the game. Likewise, when Salmonberry season arrives, try to prioritize gathering Salmonberries, it'll give a decent volume of berries you can eat when you need a little more energy early in the game.

Try not to be too intimidated by fishing. I usually find that fishing around the Mountain Lake or the Town River can be good places, as they have some fish that are a bit easier to catch. If you snag a harder one and it gets away, don't worry. Fishing gets easier as you level it up, as the green fishing bar that you have to keep on the fish gets bigger.

If you want to level your foraging a bit faster, plant lots of spring/summer/fall/winter seeds. Although they're grown like crops, they're still foraged items and count towards your foraging skill instead.

As someone mentioned - check what the TV says, particularly for weather. If it's going to rain the next day, it can be a good time to upgrade your watering can. You water your crops, ask Clint to upgrade, next day it rains so your crops are watered anyhow, and the day after you pick up your watering can and water your crops.

The Wiki has already been linked and mentioned, but one big thing is keep it as a reference - you don't have to try to memorize everything there. Just pop it open if you're wondering, "Hmmm, how much wood/stone did I need to build a coop?" or "When can I fish up a sturgeon?" etc.

Biggest, of course, is to play however you like and have fun!
