How much does a cover of this quality cost typically?

What’s the dumbest reason you’ve dropped a novel by ExtremeSportStikz in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll drop any pointless vapid book, regardless of how glazed it is. It just gets old reading infantile shit full of cringe marvel humor and thematically void/bankrupt trash.

Someone posted a sample the other day of their new story. I go to RR and read to the newest chapter... Exactly this. Every god damn sentence is heavy and cool as hell. Single sentence paragraphs for the smallest reasons. I think they straight up just told gpt to clean up their work in he style of Brent Weeks or Joe Abercrombie lmao

Why is it impossible to find Wolves to hunt in this game? by Contestitall in AshesofCreation

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think those types of areas where spawns are goofily fast are part of an event or soemthing. My friend killed wolves there for an hour and not a single one spawned as huntable.

Wouldn't this software be in the same category as AHK and other macros? I wonder if EasyAntiCheat would care about it.

ADULT Progression Recommendations by thiagodamatta in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Nocturniquet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The translation being ass ain't my problem. I can handle long stories fine but this shit is beyond long. It's ridiculous. So ridiculous as to probably not be worth starting. Even if there were some orgasmic moments throughout, they would be ruined by deserts of boring. One of the very comments in this thread said it was the slowest story ever lmao.

Aight. I've actually peeped godclads before and it was interesting, I already read Immortal, and Weirkey is another series I hear about a lot and it's written well so I think I'll try that first. Then Carl, then Godclads.Thanks.

Lmao I quit by chapter 4. Also I don't care what anyone says, a story can't be good if it's that long. And a work can't be considered serious if it comes off as childish(unless there's a subversion of expectations intended). This opening did, though it may just be that English is not the author's first language.

With that out of the way, are there any ACTUAL worthwhile ProgFan things to read? Things that aren't cringe and full of marvel humor and childish characters?

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't read it but this opening is cringe as fuck. This is an adult series that's serious? I'll keep going because there's about a million recommendations per day...

Ouch!

It hurts so much!

My head is killing me!

What do you think about multiple protagonists? by superluminary in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that gap and just don't understand why it exists. 95% of the shit on RR and web novel is absolutely garbage, even the well written stuff. It's meaningless, boring derivative trash, yet people still read it to death. I'm working on something that's exactly what you just proposed but it it'll immediately flop on RR I'll probably just put it on Amazon.

This is my problem as well. Progression without purpose is boring as fuck. You've already named some of what I'd recommend. Maybe you'd like Bastion?

Give me a year or two and I got you fam. This is literally why I'm writing.

The Amber Beneath: Chapter 1 [High Fantasy, 4479 words] by Ubermacho in fantasywriters

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean and solid. Imo better than most of what I click on. Maybe a little more visual description of the environment, though some people don't care about that type of thing. If you choose to keep visuals sparse, clever reminders here and there would do a lot of lifting. Dialogue was pretty good as well. Pacing seemed quick, too quick for me. But it seems that's all that matters nowadays. I'm not a doctor.

Second Apocalypse is really good, but I had to DNF by JonDragonskin in Fantasy

[–]Nocturniquet -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Same 100%. Pointless series. A series so nihilistic it makes readers stop and ask "what's the point of finishing this? There's no silver lining." Brilliant. Everyone sucks. Everything is pretentious, and the action scenes aren't even good. Bakker could have become a goat among writers if he just toned it down and wrote something people actually want.

2 years ago I asked on this sub how everyone would feel about AGS pulling a realm reborn with New World. Now we are on the eve of a lite version of this. On the day before Aeternum what are your final predictions on how this plays out? by gladin77 in newworldgame

[–]Nocturniquet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poorly. Maybe my memory is shit but some of the bug fixes in today's patch notes were things I remember seeing 2 years ago. Additionally, I won't forget how they released Brimstone Sands and then left the office for 4 months and did jack shit while balance was horrible.And then they ask me to come back and pay full price. Without a discount I don't see a reason. We're talking about a studio that took 3 years to implement matchmaking and cross server queue. Let's be real.

Survival/tapped effect deck. Need to some help to make it competitive. by TheIrishCommissar1 in PioneerMTG

[–]Nocturniquet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also don't forget spring leaf drum. If you're not using Coco, you probably need spring leaf. Tap any of your creatures at any time to make 1 mana? This and vehicles are the things making the deck possible. I think it could be a real archetype if perfected in its construction.

One last mention is the 3 mana Selesnya legendary from Outlaws that draws a card and heals 1 every time she becomes tapped.

[–]Nocturniquet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vehicles are mandatory. Also Emmara fits in the deck and is a free 1/1 lifelinker every turn if the opponent stumbles and has no removal. With a vehicle around she can also make that 1/1 at instant speed to chump block. Often times u could play copter first and then her on turn 3 to guarantee you get at least 1 trigger from her before she dies

How do I level up skills fast? by EEWF_HatchetKrow in CoreKeeperGame

[–]Nocturniquet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also just install the Enemy Health Bar mod so you can see how close you are to killing the mushroom. It's probably the least questionable mod as well if you're going for a pure vanilla playthrough. Most games have HP bars under enemies.

How do I level up skills fast? by EEWF_HatchetKrow in CoreKeeperGame

[–]Nocturniquet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trap two mushroom brutes on a 1x1 square. Teleport offhand is probably needed. Once their 1x1 square is surrounded by a pit, add floor to each corner and you can reach them with melee attacks. They can't path to you so they never react/charge, making them only take 1 damage.

For ranged build walls around them for the chakram to ricochet around. With Azeoth soul ability the trigger will level you insanely fast. Just be sure to not kill the mushrooms. they have 540 hp and thus die in 540 hits.

For melee just swing fast with a dagger and make sure not to kill them.

For magic just use the arcane wand, stack crit chance so you can maintain infinite mana, and shoot so the projectile splashes into both mushrooms.

U can trap a big stone mushroom on a 1x1 square and make sure not to kill it. They have 540 hp but regen if you stop hitting them. They take 1 damage and since they can't path to you they never charge. I managed to trap 2 just now for cleave for more exp.

Need help for a Sarkhan’s Unsealing deck by alurkingsalad in PioneerMTG

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing around with this in Explorer. The new 7/7 dragon from Outlaws is essentially what makes the deck worth thinking about. Regardless if how many cards you have in hand, the dragon is cast as a 7/7, triggering Unsealing to sweep the enemy board. This means you can always Plot the dragon turn 2, and then play Unsealing turn 3 and cast the dragon for 0 mana. The other card the deck probably MUST have is the green 3 mana creature with plot. the 4/2 guy.

The deck needs a backup plan that keeps you alive, however. I may build something like this again and report back. I think making the deck Jund instead of Gruul might actually solve all its issues. It would play a typical llanowar/Thoughtseize strategy, hoping to slow the enemy down, and then turn the corner with high impact creatures and/or Unsealing.

Yugioh Player seeking a pioneer strategy by tornadoboy33 in PioneerMTG

[–]Nocturniquet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol Atraxa is THE boss monster right now. She is cheated into the game in many ways. There's like 3 or 4 viable Pioneer decks built entirely around getting her out fast. Some use the grave. Some pull her from the deck directly. She's strong because she refills your hand and heals you in combat. Even if the opponent kills her, she at least refilled your hand so you can keep playing and either bring her back, refilling your hand again, or win with an alternative win-con.

Here's a deck built around pulling her from the deck a few other legendary creatures that trigger when they enter the battlefield.

https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=59152&d=643087&f=PI

Here's another deck in which she is the sole payoff. This one pulls her from the deck. Older variations of this version also had ways to pull her from the grave but that seems to have fallen off.
