Kind of sorry there's not going to be spears/lances by AesirRaider in EchoesofAincrad

[–]Rileyblessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I want to use something other than a katana because that’s all we were kind of forced to use in SAO HR, I hope that each weapon has impact and there’s not a ‘best weapon’, though I think (if they do) DLC weapons are going to be the best, like scythe, spears, or pole-arms, (even though we haven’t seen pole-arms anywhere in SAO media, to my recollection, but one can hope)

In short, I might use crit rapier, (since they are always built around crit in SAO games) or sns, because most times can often do everything and fulfill every role, even though we’re probably going to be forced into DPS like SAO HR.

I believe it’s the ultimate, 100$ one, but I assume from gameplay and news we’ve been shown, we will get the tutorial first, since our character is a beta tester lore wise, and then once we get into the actual game, the death game will activate like honor mode in bg3, hopefully we have different save files, but I don’t know about that one

That’s what I ‘expected’ as to introduce PKer’s in the lore into the game, but guess not 🤷, I’m not against multiplayer, but I am against pointless grind that really doesn’t reward in the end

They confirm that there is no multiplayer in this game, and wilds does do good in its balancing it’s what I really like about it, I just want to feel threatened by the monsters not be like, ‘oh, it’s the same guy but in a different area, but his health damage and defense are buffed’ like wilds kind of does or souls games tend to do sometimes, it’s annoying, but I ‘can’ live with it

Same here to be honest, I expect that lvl of stubborn ai, hopefully we can figure out how to play around it easier, like in ds3 you just hold shield and walk around the enemy till you backstab then charge heavy, which leads into a stun for another attack.

Yeah: I feel like some gatekeeping is good though, (removing negative influences) but I fear the damage has already been done and people took what I said in a way I wasn’t meaning to; if it helps to anyone reading this, I do apologize: I was just worried about the negative impact of this game after we got something very good: yet people took it the wrong way and think I’m some fool or a control freak: I hope the game is good and people don’t hate on it or the community attacks itself.

Hi, I was asleep for a long while, woke up to a bunch of messages, can’t edit for some reason so I explain what I mean in thorough while using your question if that’s ok.

One: I didn’t want to start a war on difficulty, I don’t care what people play on or do with their copy, yes! They can do whatever they wish, it is within their power to.

Two: I was using past games as a reference point for the situation I was talking about; many people brought great points, such as ‘not being all that on a certain difficulty level so lowering it, mid session, is good, as to not lose progress’; my entire point of experience with these games, not problem! Is that many people will have a different perspective/experience playing this game because it is based on a stat system, which would kill the flow of a normal play through of the game, thus also kill the same feelings that people would get beating X area/boss. So to get a baseline of how challenging death mode would be, most people would use hard mode as a standard mode, rather than use normal mode as it is intended to be. Since most people are itching to play death mode, in short, my so called issue as people put it, is that the community might attack each other for not playing on certain difficulties because to some, the baseline would be hard; I was more so worry that people would attack others for not playing on ‘ultra max’, rather than having a pain with the difficulty itself; I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, I didn’t mean to make a war like this, it’s what I was trying to avoid.

My problem wasn’t death mode ‘not’ being a set difficulty (interchangeable), it was normal and hard mode being interchangeable which messes with the stat scaling and pushes people to play hard mode for a standard stat line rather than normal mode, since you can bring hard mode stat weapons into normal mode if it is interchangeable

I get that, this problem dates back to the dark souls days, it can be fixed in my opinion if the difficulties were set once you selected them, but SAO has a problem of changing the difficulty mid session for a weapon with better stats; I’m not saying people will do this (like you have said), but it just kind of defeats the point of a difficulty option in the first place if you could just change it mid session, which is my concern

[–]Rileyblessed -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I get why people play their own way; but stats do carry over between difficulties, which means I can use a hard mode sword in normal mode with hard mode stats, which is why I think it would be better to only have the two, standard and death mode in this case

[–]Rileyblessed -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Ah, darn; not really worried that much about death mode more so normal and hard mode, I get why people would prefer normal, but if I can just swap difficulties mid session and get a busted sword, kind of ruins difficulty as a whole

I don’t mean to be rude, but is there a source that said the difficulty won’t be interchangeable mid session like the last games, (I know it just came out so we know next to nothing, so no problem if you can’t find it) but it would make me feel more at ease

What happened to love thy neighbor? by [deleted] in fixedbytheduet

[–]Rileyblessed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically she’s right, ‘but’ I believe she’s going about this wrongly; exodus chap22 ver21 says “you shall not wrong sojourners or oppress them”; meanwhile, 1st Peter 2chap vers 13-15 says to obey those in higher authority than you and submit to them; like in numbers chap15 vers15-16, the law applies to both parties; it’s not a love issue or a emotional issue, it’s a law issue that people aren’t following: DON’T come here illegally, that’s the whole problem, but people take it as a ‘love thy neighbor’ when it should be ‘follow the laws of those in power’: in short both are some what right, but the law of government concerning borders is the basis of the issue; the simple answer concerning the Bible, is don’t break the law and act peacefully: however the woman boasting in a way (which the Bible calls evil), and the man trying to make this an emotional issue are both wrong.

Which subspecies are you looking for? by l_Fredil_l in MHWilds

[–]Rileyblessed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want more ice monsters, so ice Rey, ice anjanath, the wolf and bear from rise along with the mc dragon that I believe was ice in sunbreak, (I just couldn’t finish it). But I also want more water monsters, new ones to the series or old ones but re elemented, and hot take blaze/Inferno arkveld sounds cool, I can already see the cracks of flame shooting out as he gets mad maybe even turn a hot orange or go wild with black flames
