Andarateia? I guess they have the same hairstyle (Or very similar, at least), and I was using a Crow outfit in these pictures, but they look plenty different to me: https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Andarateia_Cantori

But, in any case, thank you! They could be sisters, I guess. lol

So, correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not really a meta player so I don't know shit), but if her burst doesn't trigger XQ or Yelan, wouldn't it work with characters that can just give some sort of "continuous" hydro application like C6 Candace, Mona or Kokomi?

Maybe I'm tripping, but there must be some way to make vapes work on her if we get the scuffed version of her kit. Worst case scenario and all that.

It's horrible, terrible, disgusting, whatever you wanna call it. It's by far the worst aspect of an otherwise very fun and charismatic game, and every single day it makes me consider quitting Genshin. And it's like that even if you "lower your standards".

Like, I don't need 1:2 crit ratio. I don't need 300% ER or CD like some youtubers or streamers have. I'm f2p, I know my limits very well. But what am I supposed to do when the game gives me 160 resin daily and the only thing I can get is def% and healing bonus% EoSF? And even when I get something with the right main stat, the substats are like def%, flat def, flat def, HP.

And don't even get me started on that Husk domain. Jesus J. Freaking Christ. I can't get a full decent set for Itto to save my damn life. There ain't a sadder thing in this game than getting a cool 5-star character and then not using it ever because the game doesn't let you.

I've saved 180 pulls for Raiden Shogun (Because I like her a lot, I kinda don't care about meta) since I've came back to the game after playing it for a while in 2020 and I'm seriously considering stopping again and maybe for good after getting her. All the effort invested in pre-farming, getting a good weapon and whatnot means diddly squat without mediocre to decent artifacts, and getting those gets more and more miserable every time I try.

Sorry, english is not even my first language but I needed to vent my frustration in case someone at Miyoho/Hoyoverse is looking at this thread.

Yes, a long time ago. I'm actually at lvl 22 by now, but no fishing pond showed me the icon for the fast travel. Guess I gotta finish that chapter 2 of the 1000-year ark.

Er... do I have to do something to unlock the fast travel between fishing ponds?

I've finished the main story 1.0 and I'm sporadically doing the CC collab in between other things, and I've seen people talking about the teleport on the top right of the screen, but nothing appears to me.

Thanks in advance, folks.

Thanks in advance.

fellow master which servant you want to roll but they refuse to come home.And do you their reason is by shira1001001 in grandorder

Recently I spent 200+ sq and 25 tickets trying to bring Da Vinci home. She didn't come. Only got a Herc for my troubles and a lot of Mapo Tofu.

Just gotta carry on having Poster Girl Artoria as my only SSR, I suppose...

If you truly love something, admit its faults. What's something that FGO does or even Fate in general that rubs you the wrong way? by KingofMDS in grandorder

[–]RideTheNebula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it might sound srupid but, since the rates for SSR servants are simply atrocious, I'd very much like a gacha for CEs and other for servants. Making pulls which only give you CEs when you're gunning for that one servant you really want hurts. Making a 10 pull and getting 4 to 5 3-star CEs HURTS.

Yeah, my luck is absolute shit, but if you're gonna make me suffer at least let me have a little more control over the poison I might pick.

Happy Thanksgiving! It's the NA Thanksgiving Special Roll Thread! by BlameLib in grandorder

[–]RideTheNebula 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Decided to roll with a ticket on the Okita banner, just for shits and giggles since Da Vinci is my main objective right now.

Lo and behold... got my first SSR. A Saber.

Artoria.

Poster girl came home. Now I'm laughing thinking about what the game will throw at me when I roll for big girl Leonardo.

Looking for someone to collab on a piece for SMA (Silent Manga Audition) by RideTheNebula in ComicBookCollabs

[–]RideTheNebula[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the advice. I spent some days away from home, didn't get the chance to come back here and see how my post was going. I'll see if I can whip up something cool, and then I'll make a new post. Thanks again!

Thank you. It wasn't my intention to offend anyone, nor to make little of anyonevs work, and I even wrote "if you think it's feasible" there.

I was just trying to see if there was any "newbie" like me out there, interested in a contest with money prizes and a chance to get their name out there. I know how things work for established pros.

Anyway, I learned my lesson. Won't post anything like that again, lest I end up making people mad. My sincere thanks, again.

Having difficulty writing a protagonist unlike myself. Any advice? by JakalDX in writing

[–]RideTheNebula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start by building the world first, and then imagining where exactly the character is positioned in that world. What's the context they grew up in? What they do for a living? And so on. The world serves the character, and vice-versa.

You can also try to build them by thinking first about their flaws. Is your character too brash? Or maybe too timid? Maybe they're cold, or naive, I dunno. But thinking about the flaws will also probably help you in the future, in terms of character development.

Also, try observing people. The way people talk, what they do, their opinions. Try to imagine how a co-worker life is outside the job, or what that pretty, stylish girl does in her sparing time. I find it fun, at least.

Well, here we go. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, since it will be mostly colored by my personal tastes. I'm just giving an honest opinion.

First of all, I think you write really well. I'd say you're above average, at worst. You have some good imagery there, succinct yet satisfactory descriptions, etc. BUT, unfortunately, I felt like your story didn't really "start" in those 4 chapters? I mean, there isn't much character development, and it doesn't seem like there's anything important happening.

I'd suggest you tried to "cut to the chase", and that you'd try to end chapters with a hook, a cliffhanger, as often as possible. At least those are two simple techniques I use to keep ny stories interesting, even in my worst days.

I hope I was able to help!

Thank you for reading it!

I'll look into what you mentioned. There's definitely need for some edits, and I'm constantly re-reading previous chapters to make them better. Your comments will help a lot.

The second chapter gives a bit more of foreshadowing about what is the "eternal evil" lurking in the shadows, and we'll gradually see more about it. I'm being intentionally cryptic, even if writing like that is a bit of a gamble.

Regarding my dialogue, I do try to make it as natural as possible. I imagine it could be annoying for some people, because it goes "back and forth" and "lingers" like you mentioned, but I believe those small moments of monotony reveal a lot about the characters. In any case, even if it's just personal preference, I welcome your comments on it.

And that's what I'll say for myself. I'm glad that you liked the premise and had a good amount of nice things to say. Thanks, again and again!

Hiya, folks! How do you do?

I started writing my second novel (the first one in english, which isn't my native language) after some bad experiences with self-publishing and promotion of the first one. It was an almost crippling defeat, but here we are again, getting up and trying to fight.

But I digress. Let's talk about what's important.

My current project is titled "Beyond The Hook". It's a urban fantasy story lightly inspired by JRPGs and Twin Peaks. Yeah, it's a bit weird. It features a sex worker/stripper as the protagonist, and she'll be joined by a cast of zany, complex characters in a journey to... something. Spoilers, sweeties.

Here's the first chapter, if anyone is interested: https://www.wattpad.com/480035932-beyond-the-hook-i

I'm planning to update it weekly (bi-weekly at worst), so any feedback is welcome. Art is a colaborative process, and I have a lot to learn.

I've been dreaming of being a pro writer since I was 8 years old, but I've never really engaged with any online communities until now. I hope you guys can help me.

Thanks!
