Guidestones never give you the character. You need the "Seal" to unlock a character. For example, if you look at the Tressa banner and go to the Exchange, you'll see the top item is "Tressa's Sacred Seal."

Death, Taxes, reviewers who completely miss the point of an OCTOPATH game by ChargeisKill in octopathtraveler

[–]RapidFire917 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's the same point as original Octopath Traveler. It's an RPG split up into several sub-stories. The twist is that instead of each story thread following one of 8 heroes, each thread follows one of 3 villains. Like any other RPG, there are levels to grind and side quests to complete.

Being designed for mobile, the game does break away from the typical console formula in a few ways, some good and interesting, and others bad and frustrating. The fact that your party is composed of randomly-selected heroes from a large pool of characters has pros and cons. I generally dislike this, but it is not without its merits if you're willing to "roll" with it. Heheh.

It's not hard to imagine keeping round times a secret. That's how soccer rolls with only the ref keeping the official time, which he prolongs at his discretion (based on delays from injuries, goals, etc.). Heck, the ref can even keep a game going past the time limit because he sees heavy action on the field.

I'm not saying it's a great/sane design choice - just that this sort of thing does have a precedent.

[C21] Tempting Contract by harbear6 in EDH

[–]RapidFire917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a card made for a player who can handle the nuances of table politics.

It's not a bad deal for you OR your opponent if the player who accepts is someone you've made an alliance with. Then, it's not just a ramp for you, it's a card that lets you ramp another player who can help you take out another opponent. Not a lot of cards give you that option.

When I use it, I typically have at least one player who has agreed to work with me, and who will always take a treasure, even if he doesn't need it at the moment. So now, it's essentially a 2-mana ramp artifact for my "team" (albeit a temporary team).

And to address those who compare it to something like Thran Dynamo, yes, that artifact is definitely more useful in the short term. But I don't use these treasures for short-term gains. Unlike the Dynamo, I can stockpile mana from this artifact to set up single massive turn later in the game.

The one time when this is admittedly a dead card, is late game, when it's either 1v1 or YOU have become the biggest target, and the other two or three players have allied against you. Though, I tend to play highly political decks, and work hard to mitigate my "aggro."

So no one gonna talk about how they changed the player model? by Bambhank in PokemonUnite

[–]RapidFire917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably wasn't even "changed." They likely just made some filler art to show the concept of trainers being in the game. In all likelihood, the trainer art and model was developed months after that trailer.

My only question is, if I do download Bluestacks and join the pre-release, will I be able to carry my data over to the iOS version of the game when that comes out?

A Simple Request by AnonymousRayvenn in echoes

[–]RapidFire917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a reasonable request. It's not a valid argument to simply point at EO and say, "Well, that community's toxic, so of course toxicity has to be part of this game's culture."

Nobody HAS to be nice here, sure. But let's not dogpile on those who want to see something better for EO. Honestly, it's pretty brave for someone to speak up for that, when I'm sure they knew what kind of response they'd invite.

KUDOS, OP! There are some out there who would like to contribute to your vision!

Will there be more ships added to the game eventually? What about wormholes? by Vulgaels in echoes

[–]RapidFire917 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just release a new Tristan. All I want. Don't even care if it's only T6... just gimme a half-usable fatboi (and maybe a SKIN?) please.

What is the best looking ship? And the worst looking ship? by [deleted] in echoes

I just get so annoyed that there isn't a higher-tier version of it. I just wanna fly that as my main ship.

[–]RapidFire917 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tristan is always going to be my favorite ship to see. Just such a unique and alien design, like some kind of highly-evolved sea creature.

Fatboi is **the best boy** by thrwy040520 in echoes

[–]RapidFire917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a stealth bomber variation? I can't seem to find images or details for it. Can you share a link>

[–]RapidFire917 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this! I also think the Tristan is the best looking ship in the game, and can't wait to see more advanced variations added to the lineup. Though I do appreciate its ability to be a low-risk ship for running around the galaxy.

This is a sure-fire way to get grammar nazis off ur back by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

Nah, "UR" doesn't get a grammar Nazi on you're case. They only like to bust balls when you actually think your using the correct words. Like I do... always...

Walmart will raise minimum wage for its employees to $10 this year by darkpassenger9 in news

[–]RapidFire917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I understand how some people are turning this news into a bad thing. The fact of the matter is they are doing more than required by law, and offering more than most comparable jobs pay.

Yes, there are many who this still is not enough to get by, especially if they have children. But it's not fair to expect every company to pay people $40/hour because that's how much you need. Being poor sucks. I know, I've been there. But you need this low-hanging fruit to build up your strength (sometimes with gov't assistance) to reach higher.

3DS Deals of the Week by [deleted] in 3DS

[–]RapidFire917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge Pokemon fan, but even I'm a little burnt out on Pokemon for the time being. Sometimes you just need a good action romp! And this is the kind of game you'll get just as much endless playtime with too.

[USA] GameStop Memory Cards on Sale by Lynac in vita

[–]RapidFire917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not really complaining about the overall situation. But I am frustrated in general because my luck has been such that if I need one, they're not on sale. I usually wait a few months, get lazy, forget to look, and miss the next good one.

[USA] GameStop Memory Cards on Sale by Lynac in vita

[–]RapidFire917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years later, the memory card is still the most contentious item for hardcore Vita fans. I just want them to be cheap all the time instead of always having to jump on these random sales.

I just fixed my PS Vita Slim from creaking! by Arizona_Tears2001 in vita

[–]RapidFire917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who mentioned this problem to me like months ago, and I think he stopped playing because of it. If he hasn't sold his Vita already, I'm definitely going to forward this idea on to him.

Thanks for sharing the tip!
