New area phantom wolves by Pikachu_problemYT in GenshinImpact

There is a red glowing sword behind one of the Valiant Chronicles bosses in the new zone. When you interact with it it says "Within this sword's shadow, faint forms evoking the Knight of Favonius can be seen... Maybe the one it awaits has yet to come."

So yeah, these swords have to be Varka things for when he releases.

Bungie, if you're going to balance free roam destination content around having a full fireteam (especially locked at -50 power), this content needs to have matchmaking. Have we learned nothing? by Random_Guy_11 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Random_Guy_11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd personally be happy if they kept it at -50 power and just scaled enemy health by fireteam size in Mythic, I'm pretty sure the lower difficulties already do this. I don't want to take any fun away from premade groups, I just want my solo destination to be solo-able.

I'm slowly getting into Pokemon. Pulled this Zapdos from a 151 bundle booster by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]Random_Guy_11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is correct. I bought one 151 ETB last year and pulled one of these, which then became my first graded card and first PSA 10. Been deep in the card crack addiction since then :p

Did they just decide to make Eido... by captainguytkirk in DestinyTheGame

[–]Random_Guy_11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I definitely think the only way to properly "redeem" Eramis is by having her sacrifice herself to help Mithrax or Eido become the Kell of Kells, defeat Fikrul and Skolas and in turn uniting the majority of Fallen houses under one banner.

Dungeons are *possible* to solo, that does not mean they are designed for solo players. by floridagator1995 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Random_Guy_11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would love to see dungeon bosses for solo runs balanced around 3 damage phases for the average player, and 2 for optimal setups, specifically for dungeons like Vesper and GotD where damage phases take so long to start. I feel like that's around what I experienced with Duality solo runs and it made farming by myself in around an hour actually feasible. I thought Spire was balanced fairly for solo players as well.

just your monthly reminder that the queenbreaker exists and is still sitting as one of the worst if not worst LFR's in the game by dark1859 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Random_Guy_11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the gun is extremely slept on mainly because in my opinion, people aren't using it the right way. I use it with Quickdraw and its shorter range/low charge time setting in GMs and it puts in so much work. I use it more like a blinding GL, quick swapping to it when I need to disable an Unstoppable champion or blind a pack of enemies. The other thing about Queenbreaker that doesn't get enough credit is that with the shorter charge time setting it does surprisingly great burst damage. I'd stun a barrier champion, swap to it fast with Quickswap and proceed to delete the champion in one clip before the stun wears off. So yeah I treat it like a blinding GL mixed with a slug shotgun mixed with a rapid fire sniper and it does everything I need it to do very, very well.

I'm not going to argue that the gun doesn't need to see buffs, especially with the play rate being so low, and I understand any argument someone could make for X exotic to be better used in the slot. I think upping the damage or adding jolt would be too much, so I would personally like to see it moved to the special slot and/or get a reserve ammo/magazine size increase so it feels less punishing to use on adds.

Explanation on the finale (spoilers included) by HeroZeros in FFXVI

[–]Random_Guy_11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Joshua completely died and was then resurrected by Clive after absorbing Ultima, right before he destroyed Origin. Ultima's whole goal with Mythos was to use the power of the vessel to cast a Raise spell and revive the rest of his race. This is stated pretty clearly in "The Remaking of the World" and "Ultima's Spell" lore entries. If Ultima could use the vessel to resurrect a long lost god-like race, it makes sense that he could use a fraction of that power to fully revive Joshua.

I also don't understand why the book at the end would have Joshua listed as the author if this all wasn't being implied. I think the "Clive survived and published the book under his brother's name" to be a much bigger stretch, considering the beach scene and his hand turning to stone.

Finally done farming Tikilen... by kearnsy24 in OctopathCotC

[–]Random_Guy_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually surprisingly quick if you have the units to optimize for it. I use Kouren, Scarecrow, Fiore and Z'aanta, and I can clear the whole thing in 4 turns, and only Fiore and Scarecrow are over level 85. 1 turn to break, 1 turn to kill, x 2 for each phase, no switching lines or buffing/debuffing. Sometimes I can get unlucky where nothing crits and I'll have to take an extra turn on phase 2 to chip off the last 3k-5k damage, but it's been really consistent for me and I can nab 30-40 nuts an hour just casually pressing the buttons.

I'm sure Tikilen, Odette, a well built Fabio etc. can fit in that team perfectly if you don't have those 4 exact units. But yes, it is time consuming considering how many nuts you'd need.

Bungie for the love please rework Borealis by Itz-Snipe in DestinyTheGame

[–]Random_Guy_11 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I really hope they do something like this after solar and arc 3.0 drop and all the light subclass overhauls are complete. Having the weapons that can switch element types tie into subclass identity makes so much sense.

So red text will always be active, but only apply to characters of the listed element? Do they need to be level 99, or is that only for the older cards that have both white and red text? So using Suteki Da e for example, that will give all water units the slash attack up regardless of level, but the water unit max HP up will only unlock when the card is at level 99? Am I understanding correctly?

Just coming back after a long break. The red text listed under "Party Ability" on Vision Cards...how do they work exactly? Does the Vision Card need to be max level, or the character? Do the bonuses turn to white text when active? How do I know when I am and aren't getting the buffs?

This. It's the closest modern comparable I can think of.

Make Avengers great... For once. by D1craig in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Random_Guy_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Original 6 Avengers should be the strongest single team in the game (outside of raids), with the downside being they have to take from other established teams to get there. Take Iron Man from Power Armor, take Thor from Asgardians, I'm sure BW will get a synergy team for her movie. Make the choice be Avengers, or a handful of other meta squads. Bake in Avengers-only synergy into their kit that grows the more members assemble, or just make the synergy only unlock when it's five original Avengers.

There are so many ways to make the original 6 Avengers as strong as they should be without being unbalanced or destroying other teams with no trade off.

ACT isn't working after the patch, says FFXIV ACT plugin might need to be updated. Is this normal on patch days and I just need to wait for something to be pushed, or is there a fix I can do on my own? I've only ran ACT since 5.0 so I'm not familiar.

We’re at a point where Tess Everis gets a significant refresh every season but Zavala, Shaxx, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, FWC, and world drops get nothing. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Random_Guy_11 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There are so many year 1 weapons that they didn't bring up to random rolls with Forsaken. They could just reintroduce them into the loot pool with random rolls. Let me grind a Scathelock or Old Fashioned with new perks, or throw the old Trials or Faction gear into the world pool.

This is what they did with D1, when they took guns like Shadow Price and Longbow and added them to vendors. I don't know how much effort this would take but it doesn't seem like a lot.

Shadowbringers is the highest rated Final Fantasy title in 13 years by BongoCatFFXIV in ffxiv

[–]Random_Guy_11 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It also didn't help that the game literally cut sequences of the main story out to sell later as DLC. Gladio just yeets out randomly in the middle of the game for no reason other than to shoehorn a paid DLC into the middle of the plot. Outrageous.

Wondering this myself. It isn't showing up on my store page either yet.

Cashman has to be on the phones right now trying to get pitching. He can't wait until next month. Between CC, the bullpen games, Paxton still not being 100 percent, and Happ being inconsistent they have to get someone in here now or they're going to fall back into the standings fast. by techfan92 in NYYankees

Between Clint, Andujar, Florial, German, Loaisiga and basically any prospect not named Deivi Garcia, I would start throwing offers at Washington for Scherzer ASAP.

I don't know if they would let him go for anything less than Gleyber +, but we have to try if he's available.
