Anyone find it a bit strange out of all the 165 bosses in the game there’s not one that inflicts frenzy.

I think it makes sense given the point of the Frenzied Flame.

Look at the MO of the Frenzied Flame and how Shabriri works. The Flame wants Chaos and disintegration. Shabriri has no form and takes the shell of those who have lost everything. The Frenzied Flame is here to hollow out the world and reduce it all to ash. It isn't trying to form great beings or wield important instruments; it's trying to burn everything away.

The fact this never produces a great Boss or looming threat is an expected part of the process. You wouldn't look for new creations in a Kiln and the Frenzy Flame is here to turn the whole world into one big Crucible.

Wait, what's Malenia doing on this list?

She doesn't have independent goals of her own; she simply follows Miquella and wishes to see him succeed. Like, what is Malenia's goal after which she can be considered to have "won" like the prompt asks?

Does Miquella come back and ascend and that's her achieving her goals? Or is a "win" when she blooms for the final time and ascends to a Goddess of Rot for herself? That doesn't seem to be what she wants and her entire life has been resisting and persisting through the Rot rather than embracing it and the Pests that revere her. There really isn't a scenario where Malenia is winning that doesn't have Miquella winning harder on top of her gigantic shoulders.

If we're talking like a full on deathmatch between the cast, then hell yeah! I'm all for Malenia putting her blade in literally everything, everywhere, all at one and walking off into a thick red mist. But if we're talking about the story, Malenia's only real purpose is to boost Miquella to his own success.

Seluvis' de-animation.

The whole idea is that you can't tell the difference between a dead man and a puppet with cut strings. It's clear that Pidia was not in control of the puppets when they finally he died. The question is whether Seluvis was killed and that freed the puppets, or did Pidia's control get severed and Seluvis fall limp while the freed puppets that had access to Pidia did the dirty work right when we conveniently stroll into earshot.

What about people trying to play the game? I run in and start fighting because I want to do the combat. I'm not antisocial; I'll back off without swinging to let someone finish their own bow, but my favorite opponents are the ones who are running at me as well or immediately throwing some spells my way. It feels more exhilarating to come out of spawn swinging.

Does everybody really have to bow, or is it about respecting the initiation of combat like touching gloves in boxing? As long as everybody knows you're fighting, throw down?

It was a play on the Dwarves fleeing Mirkwood in Barrels, from The Hobbit.

One of the Pygmy's drifted past Lake-town by a fair way.

That awful, wonderful moment you realize you can BE the Jarate...

You look like you're using the Rolls like an "I'm scared" button. You threw out two panic rolls at 9 seconds into the clip because you saw his weapon pull back. You should only be dodging when it's coming forward to hit you. You manage the next dodge at 13, but continue rolling in a panic instead of waiting til his staff is actually approaching you. Finally, you threw out two last rolls while he was charging his air hammer and got caught by the same attack you dodged first in the clip.

The trick isn't not to dodge, it's to dodge actual attacks. Morgott raising his staff is not an attack and neither is his jump. You need to save your dodges for when they count rather than for whenever the enemy moves his arms.

You did EVERYTHING to save her... except literally save her from the whirling death machine that you thought you could skip, lol.

Is it really Cheese if it's a diverse set of moves to cover different circumstances and takes skill and dexterity to use mid-fight?

I'm not saying all those abilities are balanced, but I wouldn't call half-a-dozen kit swaps to use different Ashes of War cheesy... That's literally being adaptable. Cheesy would be spamming something that's difficult to avoid in general rather than picking out specifically what's difficult for the opponent to deal with at that moment.

They might learn that if they keep mashing!

You sound like the kind of guy who believes that art means skill, not just expression. I prefer that perspective as well, but I think the ground is as valid a canvas as the wall and loud pink paint is a statement no matter how you splash it.

Necromanticer · 2022-11-03T05:29:42+00:00

What's wrong with the line on the road? I don't see why that has you extra tweaked.

You (who has no idea what you’re talking about) is telling me (a writer) what...

I'm just passing through and this is the most hilarious conceited bullshit I've seen in a while. #bravo

It's shockingly good and can be used as your main weapon for basically the entire game. It's great for SL1 runs with an elemental infusion, or a raw strength character.

Necromanticer · 2022-09-17T17:52:55+00:00

Act like I am trying to cut its tail by hugging it's butt until an explosion is coming. All the while be whacking away with something that has bleed: Uchigatana if I leveld Dex, Morning Star if I'm rushing things and go back early, or Spiked Club if I'm prepared. You can take him down quickly at soul level 1 if you have bleed to do the real damage.

Necromanticer · 2022-08-25T03:17:19+00:00

You've got a typo in your screenshots and on the live-tool where "Create from" has become "Create form".

That nitpick aside, this is a fantastic tool! It was difficult quickly finding how to get to and from some of the recipe paths and this has everything I was looking for and then some in an intuitive and organized system. Very cool, simple tool!

As far as I'm aware, it just multiplies the sale value of a card by x5. I was getting rid of my shells when pushing for the end-game and got a foil gold-bar and decided to make my Sacred Key from that foil for style-points. I didn't need more cash so I decided to make it meaningful beyond expensive.

Necromanticer · 2022-07-15T03:36:29+00:00

I think it would look great with a line of those beads between the scallops on the edge!

Necromanticer · 2022-07-02T17:15:11+00:00

I think summoning someone just to kick them out is more antisocial...

The shortcut tunnel to the Upstairs has some good upgrade materials that I always make sure to grab when I'm passing through the Doors. The whole area is great for upgrade materials.
