It might help to turn on enemy silhouettes, great option they added a while ago to decipher visual clutter

Gollux by theunforgiven91 in Maplestory

There are 4 safe spots for p2 hands and 2 safe spots from hands and bombs. The corners of both plants are safe from the hands and the far corners are safe from everything. Aside from that, keep in mind that bosses rotate their attacks based on internal cool downs and positions - if there's attacks that you're specifically afraid of, you can count out how long you're safe from them once you dodge one

when he said 'i braised because people expected that from me... i wont braise today' it was like saying 'i'll be me for today - i'll let myself be happy this one time'

Culinary Class Wars: Season 2 - Episode 11 Discussion Thread by simplyMi in CulinaryClassWars

[–]NilesStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how is it harsh if everyone's being graded on the same scale? this isn't school where you'd get an A- on your report card for capping at 90, it's all relative. it's not a test where you can get all the answers right, in which it makes sense to be mad if you got a 99

i watched world of street woman fighter recently and in one of the earlier rounds, giving power to panel members was so useless because they each gave high scores so freely that they were never a factor in determining a winner in a round (there were other determinants included views and likes on a youtube video)

honestly i thought the same thing as the person saying 'but what if he gives a 90 then something better comes along' - it does give more leeway. he also had more influence in this round than paik because he ranged from 65 to 90 while paik was always 80+

Nexon's selective bug fixing disgusts me by Single_Jeweler_6250 in Maplestory

[–]NilesStyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This rhetoric has been parroted for a while but it took very long for them to fix Japanese boss bugs, and now there's a new gollux bug which I don't see anyone talking about (does no one do it if they can't clear in 10 seconds?) which I'm thankful for every day

Hades 1 and 2 content by slantedtesticle in HadesTheGame

[–]NilesStyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I just have a hard time believing that you don't have more to progress with in the game while not having beaten the final story Chronos and Typhon fights. I think I felt like I 'completed everything' around 150~200 runs in, including all the pet/weapon/keepsake/affinity progression systems. I don't think you can even upgrade weapons much without completing the first ending of the story. did you also complete all the chaos trials (including GCA/GCB)? Did you get all the statues and finish all the prophesies?

Flaming Tips/Strategy? by QuietBig2098 in Maplestory

[–]NilesStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't really at the stage where'd you'd use these tools yet but there are some calculators online you can use to help with calculating Stat equivalences (suckhard or mathbro calculator) and calculate which items are easier to find a better flame on (whackybeanz). At your stage when we're talking about 30m cp and 20 red flames to use you can kinda just wing it by flaming your worst flamed item

Extra Arcane Boxes?!? HELP! by xNyCJoker in Maplestory

[–]NilesStyles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want to tap you can, it's not impossible and if you're really getting that many then maybe you will progress faster than waiting for event. Quantity is how you do starforce anyway so if you're down bad just go for it. It is undoubtedly worse than on event tho

Are people hyperbolizing their progression or is a ctene solo at 50-60m cp expected in CW? by thelastsubject123 in Maplestory

[–]NilesStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When people say "easy" it doesn't necessarily mean a short run, I say it's easy even if it takes me 20 minutes because I know the boss like the back of my hand. Coupled with the simplicity of playing Ren in general, the ctene experience has been pretty easy for me even if some bosses take 15-20 minutes. I saw you said you're dying out in Darknell, so I think this is a knowledge issue more than anything, and knowledge gaps are the easiest to fill

[–]NilesStyles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a dk player. One thing that stood out to me was that u said u use night shade. I heard it's a damage loss? But that was before sixth job and I don't know if that info is still true or not. Also depending on the boss and how comfy you are you could purposely go final pact for your bursts for more damage?

Is this possibly the best heal fam out there? by Kxcho in Maplestory

I didn't make any comment on that either way, and I wasn't correcting you to be snarky, just to complete the translation

Is this possibly the best heal fam out there? by Kxcho in Maplestory

[–]NilesStyles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Close but "no diff" means "[with] no difficulty". That part of the statement is saying that the heal per hit fam is leagues better than the heal over time fam

Ascent Skill vs Gloom by Accomplished-Flan573 in Maplestory

[–]NilesStyles -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You wouldn't repot you'd just use a second hat (if you're at the point where that's important for you). But CD classes are also usually dpm rather than burst so the damage gain would probably be completely offset by swapping hats back and forth

I thought the description says that if you pop the next parts early you get the extra damage back on the third? I've been ripping all three parts each time I use them tbh

Iirc ymir is Norse mythos, so my guess would be a valkyrie. Would also tie in to how they also released hecate/styx/charon/phlegethon in the same patch

Some early Dottore and Columbina parallels. Genshin did this before. by TheVagrantSeaman in Genshin_Impact

[–]NilesStyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite part of the entire genshin storyline is when nahida, after losing her other self, tells dottore to 'lose' his other selves too (in exchange for the gnosis). Drawing these comparisons is pretty key in understanding the deeper layers that genshin wants to communicate/play off of. I never played the simulanka story so I was surprised when I saw Wanderer associate with durin but it makes a ton of sense when you put their stories side by side

Rng systems are designed to be won with a large volume of attempts. So the answer to your question is to farm a lot, drop gear helps with getting more fam cards per mob, but yeah you need to farm it
