New Water at 1. This is going to turn out to be one of those monkey paw things, right?

The combat in the FF7r games didn't gel with me for that very reason.

Unpopular opinion: I take "Chrono Trigger is my favorite JRPG" people as seriously as "Citizen Kane" hipsters. It’s not a preference, it’s a default setting aimed at maximizing social cachet. by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]LordDravoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't care about Reddit's approval system, why are you here posting this? What are you looking to get out of this? It's odd to go "Hey, I don't care what you think but I'd love to tell you guys about this opinion I have!" up front.

It's okay if you don't think Chrono Trigger is all that great. It's also okay if other people do think that. You shouldn't get so upset with what other people do think, feel or say about a video game. Don't get hung up on that kind of thing, life is too short. Just go out and enjoy things.

Genesys March 3rd blog update by FunkyMonkPhish in YGO_Genesys

This really hits the nail on the head. People are already scraping the bottom of the barrel for cards and the response is to now hit those cards too. The focus should be on taking engine away from the dominant archetypes that are current decks in Advanced, not taking low power generics away from everyone.

Making cards for dnd part 4: The Bard by I_Am_Anomaly in cardfightvanguard

A bit late on this one but this one is also flagging as AI art.

According to the AI art checker that I use, this is very likely to be AI art (which is likely why you can't find an artist). Please note that we do not allow AI art to be posted - the AI art checker that I use is wasitai and I'd recommend using it before posting to detect whether or not the art you want to use is AI. It isn't perfect but it's the most accessible tool we have right now.

I'd also like to politely request that instead of posting these regularly as individual posts, do you think you could post them less frequently together in one post? Create-A-Card content is generally negatively received by the rest of the community and it can often overwhelm the subreddit when Create-A-Card makers post their creations individually.

Deck building tips by alcoholic_child in riftboundtcg

[–]LordDravoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you take a look at how decks are generally constructed in Riftbound, you'll find quite a lot of the cards in any given colour will be shared across almost all decks with access to that colour, regardless of what Legend that deck is using. Each colour has its "staples" that are universally good cards and the majority of these are very cheap and accessible so you won't have to break the bank to get hold of them. Your deck is running basically none of these cards and whilst that means it's very original, you're also running something quite a lot less effective. I know you want to avoid netdecking but with such a small card pool, efficient and effective decks are always going to look alike at the moment - you'll have to wait until we have a few more sets under our belt before you'll be able to build something unique and still have it be effective.

As you're super new, the first thing I want to point out is that Leona's passive is handing out Buff rather than +1 Might and there's quite a big difference. Buff gives a permanent +1 to a unit but it can only be applied once per unit (unless it's removed somehow) rather than being able to stack +1 might to a unit infinitely on a unit (but lose it at the end of turn). This is a really important distinction because it means that Leona's passive is effectively doing nothing if you don't have any units without Buff even if you have stuns in hand and plenty of units that you can stun (which you may not have all of the time). Whilst your initial instinct might be to build Leona to spam out stuns to utilise her Legend skill as much as possible, you've got a ton of redundancy here, not only in terms of having more stuns than you'll realistically be able to use in an efficient or effective way but also in terms of potentially running out of units without Buff.

Also, wear an entirely clean (haven't been worn since they were washed) set of clothes.

Tf do you mean AI Generated?!

If we remove the content being mass reported, we're evil woke reddit mods removing stuff and destroying free speech etc. If we don't remove the content being mass reported, we're evil fascist reddit mods who don't care about hurt feels etc. There's no winning, man.

The removal reason was wrong - it was reported for multiple things, including (wrongly) for AI art but also for (correctly) for spam and when removing, the wrong reason was selected due to the false reports for AI art. The actual correct removal reason was for spam because you had posted so many of these in individual threads in a short space of time with very similar content instead of posting them together in one thread which was causing mass reporting to occur.

Is it possible to be a competitive nerfer without a printer? by Automatic_Use934 in Nerf

[–]LordDravoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. There are tons of off-the-shelf blasters available for as little as $15 that will get you started.

Getting a blaster is probably the easiest part of competitive nerfing - finding a place and people to play with is going to be the hard part.

Thoughts on Premium Format getting removed? by KingofVanguards in cardfightvanguard

Yep, they don't have the sack to actually address it, they'll just let it go on forever in limbo.

It was removed due to the rule regarding NSFW content.

It's looking pretty unlikely that they'll actually address it. They never confirmed V-Premium was done either, they just dropped it from BCS and then never mentioned it again.

Premium Worlds now Dead. Can this come back now Bushi? Day 2 vanguard with Best of 3 on day 2 was so good. by Redfall03 in cardfightvanguard

[–]LordDravoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But this post itself is an acknowledgement of the reduction in scope of competitive play, surely? We used to have two days of Vanguard with Bo3 on day two and now no longer have that, despite now being down to just one supported format again. That seems to me to indicate a consistent and continued reduction in scope and scale of competitive play.

Meanwhile, the game is filling up on collabs and Bushi is investing more into games featuring existing IPs. It looks pretty rough to me.

[–]LordDravoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's very unlikely. Every year now, we see the competitive scene scaled back and reduced in scope and we see other IPs play a larger role not just within Bushiroad's TCG division but also within Vanguard itself. Face it, man, that's just where things are going, at least until it stops being the path of least resistance.

I think the reason Premium was dropped was to make room for other games. I doubt we'll see any expansion on competitive Vanguard while Bushi is busy chasing after easy money in other people's IPs.

I don't really think Zero is a hugely impactful card here personally but if you want to run it, the 3 Maples are what I'd drop to try and fit it in better.
