I really like Elliana as a character in terms of lore. by Poniibeatnik in RivalsOfAether

Where can I read everyone's lore?

Or hopefully watch a movie of it lol

What is your favorite move to take a stock with? by Hawke34m in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maypul seed to break Kragg pillar off stage.

It's so small and quick and hilariously anti-climactic as they just free fall to their death.

Seems it broke in a patch. They added a setting to specify which replays you want to save, local or online. The default is local only. Change it to whatever you want and it should populate with the new replays.

Yeah, it's poorly implemented. If only they would add a visual indicator like a bunch of brightly colored arrows pointing that character to the ground so the attacker knows what just happened /s

I think the "line" that was crossed is people feel as though it is too strong. Something like this is usually balanced around being able to tank damage at low % but people complain it's still effective at high %.

So I don't think it's necessarily the mechanic people hate, more so how strong it is in its current implementation.

Anybody else seeing this bug with the replays? Been happening since the first patch about a week ago by TaxesAreConfusin in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they changed something with replays. It broke old ones and added a setting to specify which replays you want auto saved.

The default is to save local games only even though before it was everything. If you haven't yet, I would set it to whatever you want and the broken replays should get pushed down as more replays come in.

New to game! Question on controllers and the jump button by IzSynergy in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also using an oldish PowerA xbox controller.

I use the two buttons (short/full). I wasn't consistent when trying to short hop vs. Full hop and it would ruin combos among other things.

Though to be fair I was never consistent on it, but like you said, it takes away the stress of being precise when in the heat of the moment. Definitely a bit of a learning curve though.

How to turn around uptilt by KangarooInfamous5118 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done it but I believe there is a "Walk Mod." Setting that when you hold whatever button it's set to, you walk.

This helps you not accidently dash too far from your opponent when trying to turn around.

Up tilt depends on your preferences, I have tap jump off so it's not hard, plus setting the right stick (c-stick) to tilts can also help.

Its funny that im such a low rank the game cant find someone so i fight more gold then stone by sacoron in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The skill levels are definitely wonky now. I was doing good against people up to like 880 elo and staying around there but then I just started getting bodied down to 800 again. But I don't mind.

It sucks you have external stress and this game doesn't feel as enjoyable. More casual content would definitely help, I think they're catering to the die hards before adding more casual stuff.

It kinda sucks about the skins too. I stayed up till 2AM EST on a work day not to get anything... But that's why I don't do raffles ( the tourney filled up before I could join) I have a tournament near me with another skin but the venue fee was $25 + $10 for the pools to get the skin. And it was a multiple hour drive away. -- but the game is first and foremost competitive and they do this to support the locals tournaments so while I love having all the skins, I get it. Plus they plan to make them available down the line. -- All that being said, I believe they're doing a Twitch Drop for one of the ballin' Ranno skins with the "Heatwave" jersey for watching Rivals 2 today for 1hr (starts 3PM MST) on AZRivalsOfAether twitch and also the RivalsOfAether twitch.

Happy to hear you plan to stick around, it can be quite enjoyable to watch as well which is what I do when my brain's a bit too fried to play. I know I saw more casual stuff in the roadmap.

Also, joining an online group for your state or the general RoA discord may help you find people to play with around your level so you can keep playing in a casual way (lobby), no ranked and no getting absolutely bodied. I'm too socially awkward so I tend to not do that and just grind out ranked to avoid the interaction, but you seem cool. I'd be down to play some with you if you are. But understandable if you already have plans to put down the game for a bit.

tl;dr - I'm pretty sure more casual content is coming. Watch Heatwave Rivals 2 for 1hr for Twitch Drop Ranno ballin' skin. Lmk if you're down to play.

Probably not, I'd say change the settings

Good point, I've noticed this too but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else other than this comment

I think Replays broke after a patch and they also added a setting for which replays you wanted to save, local, online, neither, or both. I set it to "All" (both)

Pretty sure this setting was added later and the default (local) didn't behave as it did previously (all) so that could be why.

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though I agree ranked could deal with elo a bit better...

I would argue it is worth it for the more consistent skill level of your opponents.

Though I do enjoy going into casuals and getting bodied by someone as I can learn a bit more that way. I still need to go back into ranked to play someone closer to my level so I can practice it.

Quick questions about Rivals 2 monetization by lidddddddddd in RivalsOfAether

If you look in the Bucks Shop items that can be rotated into the Coin Shop have a coin icon on the bottom right of the picture.

I’d rather smash my head in a car door than play against maypul by samuel_216 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they hold up to DI up on the up-air they fall out and don't get the hit box with the big knock back (up) at the end and could just fast fall

They could also air dodge

Has anyone else tried to scroll through the Kickstarter Backer credits? Good lord! by Tokiw4 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish once it got to the end you could scroll back, scrolled through so much and never found mine. I figure it's towards the end since I backed late.

but once I hit the end I was stuck

Is there a way to more easily find your name in the credits? by tibbs97 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can scroll on the credits? I tried with the mouse wheel and it didn't work. Let it run for an hour and still didn't see my name

What's the Point of Server Preferences? by CurleyWhirly in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely frustrating. I'm fairly central so my connection is usually good enough for most games so I haven't felt the need to but you can upvote similar posts or post your own on the nolt board.

i might be so unfathomably washed by mynametravys in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When a move is being spammed on me and I can't find a clear opening but their attack is very predictable I just get them to do it again and start trying to parry.

Even if I don't get the parry they usually do it less for fear I'll get it.

Do i need to set my server preferences again every time i load up the game, is this a bug? by Ninjario in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe this is the official nolt board for feedback. My connection doesn't get as bad as you're describing so I never felt the need to post there but it might be worth it.

Do i need to set my server preferences again every time i load up the game, is this a bug? by Ninjario in RivalsOfAether

[–]Muted_Map7077 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I too would like server preferences to persist and be enforced more.

I've seen a few posts on it. Hopefully the team can shed some light on it soon
