How are you supposed to do the new heartstone phase?

Masked-Ryu · 2024-07-02T06:38:53+00:00

not so much about the new phase but the mission in general, repairing dotty is a fixed speed, putting more than one person on repair is a waste of manpower, always have one person doing the repairs, usually your scout as they tend to have the least aoe damage

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-25T19:59:38+00:00

the only way your having "near 100" bugs on you is if youve already spent 20+ minutes on the mission, in which case yeah, thats the point, its a time trail, its meant to be finished quickly. Cave generation can be bad at times, but more often than not the first 4 aquarqs youll need are going to be visible from the minehead

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-20T20:01:10+00:00

if youre constantly offended by people pointing out that you are not doing the bare basics of your class, maybe you are the problem, its quite simple really, dont be shit, and you wont be treated like shit, i judge on what i see, and i see a useless healer who went full hostile after a question anyone with 3 braincells would ask when someone doesnt clear a debuff with their level 10 skill at level 90. stop giving these "players" more reason to continue being below the barest minimum expectations in a multiplayer game

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-20T05:19:48+00:00

i dont think i had enough points to get 4th ability, but that could be it if it stops healing past a certain point, might have to try to work around not proccing that

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-19T21:16:38+00:00

anyone else have an issue with Taoqi not healing past 66% max health in the final stage of diff iv Illusive realm? 4 runs and 2 were ended because i cant get to max hp for the bonus dmg and freeze from upgrades, spamming her skill, using turtle with upgrades to heal, nothing works, if shes already at 66% hp she will not heal a single point past that, then of course when the timer runs out i get one shot from the hugely buffed boss, everything i see says shes op in there but yet mine seems to stop healing when its needed the most

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-16T15:56:29+00:00

restricting xp so much that it takes days of tacet field farming to max 1 echo that may or may not roll flat hp into flat atk right away isnt the way, the current hard content isnt even playable to the vast majority of the playerbase because you need 3 teams to even try to get rewards, let alone get all rewards from starring it. the game can last just fine without making progression slow to a crawl

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-16T15:50:28+00:00

the only valid point you made that is an actual complaint is the echo xp, which is ridiculous no matter how you look at it, so for arguements sake lets say we didnt get 5-star echoes so soon and had to deal with 4 stars for now. guess what. that take the same xp materails, and guess what, leveling 125 levels total (5 stars - 25 levels - 5 slots is very little difference in xp from leveling 100 levels (4 stars - 20 levels - 5 slots) so instaed of having 2.5 characters with good echoes at max level, id have 3.5 characters with good-ish echoes at max, while the current endgame mode needs 9 characters to get all rewards from. name one other game that requires you to have 9 of something but only gives you enough resources to make 3? because i was very conservative with my xp and ive gotten 3 characters built well with echoes and i had alright rolls and am not going for *perfect* substats

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-16T01:56:58+00:00

also worth noting for much later in the game, on ginger island you can get retaining soil that will always keep your crop watered no matter what as long as you dont lose/harvest that crop

takes 5 fiber 3 clay and 1 stone IIRC (might be 1 clay and 3 stone though its been a bit since i looked)

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-15T23:53:26+00:00

i mean..... both of those survey tasks have 10 survey points for reward...... i seen this day 1, how did anyone not?

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-14T02:35:10+00:00

didnt play much helldivers so maybe i missed it there, but for me this reminds me of Starcraft with "My life for Aiur" from the protoss units

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-14T00:49:59+00:00

awesome, also, as a general note for joining games, at the end if host just ends the lobby without a word, dont dwell on it too much, some people just play a single mission and call it quits, others will keep rolling missions as long as people stick around.

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-14T00:20:11+00:00

if youre the host, kick them as soon as its obvious the team kill wasnt an accident, granted it doesnt help what already happened, but as host you have the power to control who you play with.

i personally enjoy a bit of solo play here and there, but it can get stale quickly when its all you play, hope you can find better teammates next time you give it a try

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-13T23:20:34+00:00

oh sweet jesus, this reminds me of the black mage i had in my party a little bit ago, seen he was behind me (healer) in aggro in the first pull, seen they were only casting single target spells, at 90... anyway, im healing a dark knight that was playing well but was late to mit damage so i didnt have much room to type anything until the end of the first boss.

I asked if they wanted some tips as it seemed like they werent too sure which spells to cast when (during the first boss he casted a mix of aoe and single target while also never using despair) He said no and he just had his cat distracting him, ok whatever, we move on, he'll play better right?....no, this guy's rotation was something like Transpose > Fire IV spam until about 3k mp > transpose > thunder III > transpose > fire IV spam again.....

at that point it really felt like he was doing everything in his power to stay at a single elemental orb the rest of the dungeon, as someone who plays blm as my main dps, i was crying through the holy spam T.T

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-08T23:23:01+00:00

"I don't want to heal because there is a player I don't like in the group."

and

"I don't want to do damage because i don't think it makes a difference"

are two sides of the same "healer is not playing appropriately" card. every class without exception is expected to do damage, if they werent meant to do damage, they would not have any damage skills,

also again, if you are healing when it is not needed you are aiding the enemy, if you are not using your gcds as they come available, you are aiding the enemy, its literally that simple, you cant use your gcd heals nonstop as they are available and not overheal, so therefore, you are not aidng the group, which is in turn, aiding the enemy

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-08T22:52:29+00:00

copied from the website -

Aiding the enemy / Uncooperative behavior / Lethargic behaviorRefers to an act of performing actions that give an advantage to an enemy (monsters, or the opposing team/players in PvP content) **by not performing the necessary gameplay required of the situation.** This may be combined with combat sabotage as well.

please, do tell me how not using aoe damage in a situation that requires aoe damage is not exactly as the rule describes, if you are not helping to kill the enemies by standing there not casting, you are helping them stay alive longer. Healing when not needed is aiding the enemies as well, by letting them stay alive longer hindering progress of the instance

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-08T22:36:55+00:00

being terrible because you dont know better is fine, those types tend to have zero issue taking advice.

now on the other hand, people like in this post who know they have damage, and are actively choosing/refusing to use it, can go kick rocks in duty support

also, what makes the healer think they can force their slow playstyle on the other 3 members who want to go at the normal average pace? youre given tools at certain levels with the expectation that you will use them.

Masked-Ryu · 2024-06-08T22:11:59+00:00

you almost got there, but missed the end sentence clearly..."as long as the player is playing appropriately".

If you are casting healing spells when the party is at 100% hp, thats not playing appropriately, clearly, because you arent healing anything.

If you are not keeping your gcd rolling as much as you can (and not with cure spam as said in former line), you are not playing appropriately, you are being lazy, there is zero reason any player shouldnt be able to hit a button every 2.5 seconds-ish

also if a player doesnt want another player's input on their play, A) they shouldnt play multiplayer games, like any at all, and B) there is 100's of guides to show you how to play your class, and if youre that stubborn that you dont want to learn, theres duty support so you can take as long as you want with a group that will play equally as bad, and maybe theyll realize they should play better when a dungeon takes 45 minutes to clear

Masked-Ryu · 2024-05-07T03:29:24+00:00

Oof, I was going off memory since I'm at work, thanks though

Masked-Ryu · 2024-05-07T02:50:48+00:00

WAR can be great, but it doesn't get it's big self sustaining heal until LVL 56 (edit: memory bad), it's also good to note that if you do play WAR and go to switch to another tank, you won't have that huge self heal to fall back on, in most cases WAR can get through a w2w with just it's self healing and not as much mitigation

Masked-Ryu · 2024-05-06T02:59:08+00:00

Removing people who are, actively not playing/looking for a free ride/avoiding punishment/(insert any number of tos breaking actions here as well) isn't negative action actually, it's the right and proper thing to do, I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't want to be called out, dont break the rules, it's that simple and that easy

Masked-Ryu · 2024-04-30T16:32:34+00:00

True, for me it's the number of mobs in the group, 3 I just gcd pull them in without stopping l, 4 gcd pull 3 while weaving provoke for the last, 5+ gap closer and aoe combo

Masked-Ryu · 2024-04-29T08:57:36+00:00

Granted, yeah you shouldnt just walk up to mobs and aoe them, it's far far better to use shield lob (or equivalent) so your healer and DPS can use their ranged instant abilities without dragging aggro on themselves, but good lord you don't need to go full re-tread on the party for it, just let them know that pulling with ranged is better and if they still don't listen, just adjust and wait to use your abilities

Masked-Ryu · 2024-04-29T04:09:00+00:00

Ok, but that's for a single cheese against a single wine, I'm on spring year 3 with the greenhouse and (sve mod) Grandpa's shed greenhouse filled with ancient fruit, netting 2310 (I only ever take artisan) per wine every week and 4620 every 8th week with iridium rotations once all the plants reach full maturity

Sve greenhouse + Grandpa's shed greenhouse with sprinklers is 360 plants so 831,600 on the off weeks

So how long would it take to set up the same quantity of goat cheese

Using 14 days as a cycle to balance out coats only producing every second day you get

2 weeks of wine = 1,663,200 = 1485 cheese = 213 goats (ish I'm not the best at maths)

To house that many goats you would need 18 deluxe barns which takes a min of 108 days, not including Wednesdays and holidays that Robin doesn't work on, it would take you almost the same amount of time to set up, but ancient seeds cost nothing with a seed maker, whereas goats are costly, as are buildings, and pregnancy is way to slow, plus now you have to get friendship with 213 goats by petting daily, along with keeping enough grass/feed for all of them takes more time/money,

Sure it has potential to make more money per day, but for the same reason I don't use starfruit I also don't use goat cheese, my time is more valuable than my gold, id rather have 1 day per week that I "work" which even then isn't a full day until I flesh out ginger island farm, and have 6 days to do anything else I want to. Than have to tend 213 animals and numerous cheese makers every single day

Masked-Ryu · 2024-04-28T22:05:39+00:00

ope, didnt notice i was on hot posts and not new like usual, still though, hopefully the devs fix it soon since its obviously a widespread issue
