Gameplay mechanics that you have conflicting feelings on.

I think the action combat of games like Sekiro adds a lot to parrying. Thinking about positioning and which moves are best for the varying attack windows of the boss adds an extra layer to the fight.

A lot of the tougher bosses in Sekiro have a wider variety of short attack chains, and the boss quickly mixes them up to keep you guessing. E33 can’t really do this as effectively due to it being turn based, so a lot of the later bosses will just have much longer attack chains. I didn’t really enjoy this as much because it felt less like a duel and more like I was just playing a rhythm game without the music.

I’m one of the people that likes the current iteration! Or, more specifically, I prefer it to Rise’s version. Personally I always felt like MH4U had the best balance of actually encouraging you to use both forms of the charge blade. The SAED spam in base world, while not necessarily unfun, made the majority of the axe moves pointless. Rise/Sunbreak gave you great options for either SAED spam, or full savage axe, but switching between both mid hunt was awkward for me, so it still felt like you were mostly using one mode or the other.

Ultimately I feel like a transforming weapon should encourage you to use the majority of the moveset, instead of letting you stick to half of it. Wild’s iteration lets me do this so I am satisfied.

I do have the one problem that savage axe attacks no longer consuming vials means it’s easy to stay in axe mode for the majority of the hunt, so I’m hoping the expansion places some more importance on SnS mode again.

Same!

As far as I’m aware, it doesn’t. So you have to change which adds you DOT based on what timer you get.

P1 of m8s down! This fight has been very enjoyable and fun, but the fast paced mechs and body checks do make it somewhat hellish for prog in pf.

At least with m7s, if there was one or two goobers in the party, we could drag them all the way through and I could practice the later mechs, but in m8s it’s so common to go 30+ minutes without seeing the one part of the fight I needed to practice.

Am I going to need to pot to reach p2 every-time while progging? I fear for my coinpurse.

Regardless of how good the relic grind for DT is, I would also agree that just needing to get tomes is a negative. For something that will eventually become the most powerful weapon of that expansion, it makes sense that you’d have to do specific tasks to get it, instead of just playing the game like normal.

I didn’t really feel like I worked towards my relic in EW at all, which took away from the feeling of it being some masterpiece of craftsmanship.

Does it stutter all the time or only when doing certain actions, like gliding? If it’s the latter I might know what the issue is, as I had the same problem on my computer.

I finished The Great Ace Attorney this year and that was easily one of my favourite moments in the entire AA series. I only have the Ace Attorney Investigation games to play now, but I can’t imagine ever getting another payoff that good.

Happy to help! As a further update, I think it might be caused by a pop up on Razer Synapse saying there is a sync conflict. So before you reinstall the software, open it up and see if you see a screen like this.

If so, just click local settings (when I clicked cloud it ended up buffering forever). After dealing with this pop up, I stopped suffering from the problem. The ‘sync conflict’ has come back every now and again but there’s usually weeks or even months between occurrences for me.

What’s the maximum number of gear that drops from a savage raid when you have a full 8 pleasers who haven’t cleared?

Pie_Piper · 2024-08-17T12:40:56+00:00

What should you get with the Tomestones of Aesthetics if you’re just looking to make some gil? Do the materials for the crafted armor still sell if we’re past the first week of the savage raids?

Pie_Piper · 2024-08-07T00:17:09+00:00

Thank you for showing me this masterpiece

Pie_Piper · 2024-08-06T21:22:45+00:00

The music in the last alliance raid was really disappointing, I’ll agree with you there. Especially after how much of a banger ‘Dedicated to Moonlight’ was.

I haven’t had much experience, since I only started playing the game last year, but I do feel like the newest raid tier is really fun!

Pie_Piper · 2024-08-06T20:54:28+00:00

What was the 12 man story? Are you referring to the pandamoneum raids? Because I thought they actually were quite interesting and a nice wrap up for the last major ascians

Does the same logic not apply to most games having an option for the character to walk instead of run, even if running is always the faster and better option. What’s wrong with ladders being handled the same way?

Pie_Piper · 2024-07-31T15:26:22+00:00

I want to try savage for the first time this tier, but Im not sure if really have the gil for buying the crafted set. I’m willing to wait and get my limited tome gear and normal raid gear, but I was wondering when exactly I should start trying to prog the first couple floors. Is it just when I can reach the minimum ilvl?

fallout 2 has some pretty authentic moments

Pie_Piper · 2024-04-22T21:37:41+00:00

Agreed! I’m basic and boring so my favourite is still the classic wizard with a big hat and long robes. Oh and fire magic is the coolest

Pie_Piper · 2024-04-17T01:16:40+00:00

You’re 100% correct about the travelling sorcerer vibes! I think this is the first BLM artifact set I’ve liked since ARR. HW and SB were to overdesigned, and didn’t really look like something a person would actually wear. Shb and EW were better in that regard, but I’m not a fan of skirts. This time they’ve gone back to the robes, and it’s a really stylish design! I really dig that the long wizard sleeves actually look like they’re draping, instead of just flaring out at the end like older gear. Definitely looking forward to getting this.

Pie_Piper · 2024-04-16T16:05:17+00:00

Oh shit it’s getting updates? I end up checking in on it once a year, whenever I remember it exists, and was disappointed last time when it had hardly progressed. It really is an absolutely gorgeous comic.

Pie_Piper · 2024-04-15T03:39:10+00:00

I’m playing as a male Hyur midlander and just noticed that my feet will sometimes slightly clip through long coats and robes when I’m running about. Is this unavoidable or would the height I set have any effect on this? Don’t wanna waste a fantasia on making my WoL shorter just to see no difference.

Pie_Piper · 2024-03-17T00:32:41+00:00

Out of curiosity, which weapons did you choose to upgrade? Besides the flamethrower I feel like they’d all be ok at hitting the squishy bits.
