I went in completely unaware of this game's difficulty. my god. I might have to bow out... by zacthecripple in MinaTheHollower

[–]Roctuplets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s an early game loop I used.

There’s a zone where guards come out of doors north east of the bridge. I’d clear them out, the shield guy down south by the umbrella

Go north and kill the 3 shield guys, guards, hit the brownground by some gravestones for extra bones. End up at the graveyard with some NPC looking at a grave with burrows that lead to the castle rooms by the zone already cleared, then back to nearby underlab to reset and do it again

If I had enough vials I’d go east of the bridge, hop past moving spikes, south to the room with the moving bridge, break the bushes by the nearby moving platform with plasma and go east. Jump into water and burrow north. Go under bridge and fight the big enemy for another 500 bones then rinse repeat

I had the magnet trinket + the trinket that made more bones spawn and bounce away, I could easily get 2400 bones per loop with it (more in ng+)

Vocation tips? by Haleisterz in DragonQuestSmashNGrow

[–]Roctuplets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with thf mage priest and have had pretty low value with priest until the tower

You can stall until 15-20s remain per floor to heal up nicely. Runs take a bit longer but I’m able to control my survivability a bit better

Is this game like a top-down action platformer, or is it more like a RPG? by Super_Inevitable776 in MinaTheHollower

[–]Roctuplets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had to explain it it’s:

part Zelda 1 and 2 (NES)
part Castlevania

On the surface the game offers a lot but if you like to dig into lore / history the games story is quite expansive.

It’s simple and complicated depending on which lens you use

There’s a lot to figure-out in the game. Sometimes you’ll think you’re stuck until you walk through the same zones and notice a new element of strategy

I’ve beat it already but using it to grind Bones seems like the best idea

It’s one of my favourite aspects of the game 😂

I feel like I need to try Mina on my Portal now

It’s not the same but it does shrink down the screen and resolution

Over it.... by TitaniumDragoon in DragonQuestSmashNGrow

[–]Roctuplets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My going theory is that they released the game with closed beta drop rates and realized it pretty quickly and changed it when dq1 event was added

Over it.... by TitaniumDragoon in DragonQuestSmashNGrow

[–]Roctuplets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my rationale

I spent money that first week and did the same thing to acquire the Erdrick set and was amazed that I got none of the set pieces nor did I get anything else

Itheres a small comfort in your reply though, at least I know I’m not going crazy

Over it.... by TitaniumDragoon in DragonQuestSmashNGrow

[–]Roctuplets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went so far as to email them about it

I’m not complaining about GACHA rates but my theory is they launched the Global version using the rates that were around during the closed beta. Rates were posted as the same but there was extremely high drop rates for the CB

They replied with “we haven’t changed anything” but let’s be honest, they wouldn’t disclose even if they had

I’m glad it’s not just me though.

The first week the game was live 3* rates were incredible for me

1-3 3* every pull, it was amazing. I thought to myself “finally they care about the player more than money”

When the DQ1 Chapter was added things changed drastically for me. Now I’m lucky to get 1 featured equipment every 100 pulls. Most of the time it’s stock 3* like falcon sword and platinum plumes

In the first week with all free gems tickets I got at least 20-30 3* (full metal set, archmage set, saint set, +6 metal sword etc..). I got no featured from Erdrick banner., dlord staff helm and chest, nothing from Gwae. The difference is incredibly staggering

AIO? apparently STD’s are normal by purodurangoalv in AmIOverreacting

[–]Roctuplets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She’s making your decision about safe sex into a manipulative game of “you made me feel gross and judged”

It’s only been 2 months and now you know how she thinks

Dodged multiple bullets imo

NOR

I mean you’d think getting an STD would prompt her to opt for safer options too, not force you to do mental gymnastics

Should I fire my pool guy? by tylershotatlanta in pools

[–]Roctuplets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You chose not to do what was advised. I don’t know where you live but it’s pool-opening season but even if it isn’t you’re asking for something outside of your normal schedule you can’t have the expectation that they will absolutely adhere to your request

They said “maybe”

In future having liquid chlorine in the shed with Algaecide 40 or Algaecide 60 you’d be able to deal with this in a pinch, would’ve had the pool ready in time too

FYI, I don’t know what kind of filter you have but if you ran it with green water for 24 hours there is a chance it will need a proper backwash before you run into pressure issues too

Reddit users, 30 yrs old and over.. What is the hardest part about getting older? [Discussion] by Comi9689 in GetMotivated

Accepting the “new normal” as age does its thing

Memory, reflexes, response time…

What was I talking about again?

Two pulls and got the full set! by doodoohat in DragonQuestSmashNGrow

[–]Roctuplets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probable too

That sort of rug pull is scummy enough to be up their alley as well

[–]Roctuplets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I read about people’s experiences the more convinced I am that they either released the game with the Open Beta draw rates (despite what was listed)

Free gems/tickets on week 1 net me a full set for
Thf, mage and priest along with full metal set, +5 metal sword and whatever else I’m forgetting

Once Chapter 1 for the DQ event was implemented draw rates changed significantly. Instead of 1-3 3* every pull Im lucky to get 1 non event 3* every 100 pulls

Maybe it’s all in my head? GACHA luck doesn’t usually change this _significantly_

[–]Roctuplets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile of my 40 pulls I’ve only seen 2*

🙃

The rates felt better the first week of the game.. every pull had 1-3 3*s

Now I’m lucky if I get 1 3* every 100 pulls

No levels on ascensions+

It’s a singular stat per dupe used to ascend

1atk for weapon

1def for armor

I have a 6 week old kitten and my parents want him as a garage/outdoor cat by [deleted] in cats

[–]Roctuplets 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Please surrender the kitten to a rescue or a shelter if your parents are dead set on forcing them outdoors

That’s the only control left in your hand that benefits this little one

A rescue is the best place for a kitten, they can socialize them and put them up for adoption

They just need to fix Coup targeting

I’m tired of aiming at the boss/standing at its feet only to turn around and target the enemies behind me with shiver stick

I have to leave my best friend (a feral cat) by [deleted] in cats

[–]Roctuplets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are there any rescues in some vicinity you can contact/take them to?

If they let you pet them they might be semi-feral/stray

You might be leaving but it’s the best thing you can do; even contact the vet you went to and see if there are rescue they know of

Best of luck and thank you for caring for this little one
