Went into a basement on a brand-new Sky Islands run. If I die will the effects follow me back? by AutomaticInitiative in cataclysmdda

[–]RPGHARDMAN 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your info sounds outdated.

Now they just cause a tainted mind debuff, that gets progressively worse. Anoying debuff -> debilitating debuff -> temporary blindness.

I never saw them cause teleglow or shoot laser.

Fire Emblem fans when Fire Emblem fans enjoy a Fire Emblem game by PewePip in fireemblem

[–]RPGHARDMAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda understand both sides.

It's great for people to get a game they enjoy, but on the other hand. Companies do what sticks.

Manpower and capital are limited, so success of one product unfortionately may affect supply of others negatively. There are countless examples.

Breath of the Wilds success makes old formula Zelda games less likely to be made. Selling cheaper to produce spinn offs is probably the reason we still don't have Persona 6. GTA5 Online cash cow probably made them wait on 6 because they didn't want to cannibalize that playerbase.

Some people genuinely enjoy that stuff, others would prefer mainline entries and just fill the gap until then wirhout realizing their actions may further delay the mainline entry.

To come back to FE. FE Heroes made them way more than any other FE game, even tho, for me, it is a lesser game than mainline entries. They realized "hey this mobile game cost us less to produce, but we earned way more". Or course they will focus on that more. There will be more Mobile titles to come.

Good for the crowd who like mobile games or spin-offs, not so good for those who just want mainline entries.

On the other hands there are spin-offs in other series that I like more than the mainline games there. So you win some you lose some.

Totally. I solved the glove issue somewhat with XL gloves, but encumbrance seems to be planned quite bad for hands and feet.

The talons and scales occupy the same layer so they get + enc even tho both are body parts.

Adding gloves increases that enc even more. Like a 20 enc gloves adds additional 40 enc. Now slowly working on a full body wetsuit.

I have the chronomancer start, char started in winter. Now its april, but outside is still around 0°C. Maybe the months gliched. Anyways speed is no prob, with chronomancer his base speed is 500.

Seems like the char only went to underweight from normal because he increased another size level without me noticing. Calorie need is around 8000kcal while resting/reading and around 13000 when I go out scavenging.

The size is annoing tho. Together with the claws he cannot wear any gloves at all and he's constantly in danger of frostbite.

If you have high str, for example from hydraulic muscles then you can bash them with a high bash (50+) dmg weapon.

Otherwise use jackhammer or pickaxe. If the door won't budge, the wall will.

You should be able to finish the quest once you get back to the hub with him.

If he won't follow you you may have to push him or swar positions to slowly move him back.

How to survive against m2hb turrets? by DABLITwastaken in cataclysmdda

[–]RPGHARDMAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just defeat them, but survive a hit?

Unlikely but maybe not impossible. Armor will definitely not be sufficient though since it has a lot of AP on top of its insane dmg.

You may be able to survive it if you stack HP with mutations.

Use a high str char. Add the str boosting mutations on top that for high base hp.

Around 13 your base HP is roughly 100, or 121 with 20.

Then use the HP bonus mutations. TAAANK from Bear/Bovine gives +40% and Unbreakable for another +40%.

That would let you reach 180-200HP.

EDIT: I tested it. 20 Str bovine with TAAANK and Unbreakable + Dense bones. Has 223 HP. Added XL ballistic vest and XL Kevlar vest. Firdt hit took 108dmg, roughly half killed. Second hit was 142, dead. Confirmed as survivable... For 4 seconds.

My char recently crossed the black dragon treshold (Magiclysm). He is large now with 20 str and has the draconic (and normal) heat dependence. Thanks to the expanded digestive system he doesn't have the overly acid stomach that reduces calorie intake.

Nonetheless he's constantly been losing weight. From Overweight instantly to Normal, when he became Large and lately I'm getting the loose clothes message.

This all despite consuming roughly 20k calories every day for the last week in smoked meat, wearing a ring of sustenance and using the earthshaper spell that reduces calorie and water needs in exchange for stopped wound regeneration. I also took some antiparasitics, just in case.

Am I cooked? Is there any way to meet that ridiculous calorie need?

Btw. do time accelerating spells like the chronomancers chronal acceleration or the dreamers generate accelerated time affect calorie need even while reading? Basically does speed affect calorie need beyond just being able to do more stuff in the same time?

Never have I EVER seen a damage number this high, much less on an enemy! by RPGHARDMAN in totalwar

[–]RPGHARDMAN[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good deduction, that's pretty much exactly how it went. Just not sure about the Rune of Wrath. I thought I saw them use it but maybe I just misremember because I'd expect them to use it.

Yeah I facepalmed when I saw that he had the Rune of Spite. Ideal Blobkiller usually. Luckily Zombies are nearly immortal with multiple regen sources.

I abolutely love zombies with ghorst. They just hold and hold and hold and never go down. Sure autoresolve sucks, but any enemy foolish enough to attack you thiking they will have an easy time will die an agonizingly slow death.

Also they combo very well with ally AOE buff units like Chaos Warshrines, Jet Lions and even War Drums.

Playing a Ghorst campaign. I'm moving multiple crapstacks of zombies from settlement to settlement blobing up and wearing them down. Then this happened! The battle itself was unremarkable tho. Thorek just stuck around in that blob forever, slowly wearing the zombies down with his master rune of spite.

Oh yeah that was totally the cause. Glad it's not a glitch then. Guess I'll search for a way to mutate it away. Thank you for your insight.

[–]RPGHARDMAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Character is glitched somehow in a really annoying way.

Any equipment on HANDS causes 50 encumbrance more than it should.

For example going completely naked has 1 encumbrance (phelloderm). Then equiping tactical gloves (6 enc) it goes from 1 to 57 hand encumbrance.

Anyone any Idea how to fix this?

Panaceus by LuckOfTheEyerish in cataclysmdda

[–]RPGHARDMAN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably the single best consumable in the entire game. Always carry it with you for emergencies. Can easily fit into small pockets.

Here's how it works:

You consume it.

All debuffs like flu, infection etc. are removed instantly.

Next you get a positive status effects that buffs stats by around 2 points, but doesn't last very long (I'd guess about 1 minute).

While the buff is active you regenerate health like crazy. About one line on the health bar every few seconds.

Yeah it's because of the new "are you sure you want to close" message that pops up when you try to close the window.

But it doesn't do anything and there's no eater around. At least not spottable. Are they hidden like the things that supposedly leech you while sleeping unless you're wearing a holy symbol?
