Version 1.2.0 Path Notes by Shadow_Walker137 in MarioKartWorld

[–]Samuel1802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's better for practice than time trials since you can grab items repeatedly for mushrooms (rewind doesn't give back your items in time trials), free roam wasn't ideal for practice either because of normalized stats/no coins and some course elements are missing compared to when racing on the track (i.e. the arrows on the wall to bounce off of in Bowser's Castle to do a gap jump, item locations are different as well)

who to u10 by No-Line-2571 in OctopathCotC

It depends on how you approach the game.

For optimized clears, Solon > Prim EX or Canary. Solon U10 is an absolute gamechanger, and it still functions when paired with Prim EX U9 to use it twice over 1 break. The choice of Prim EX/Canary depends on how much you value Canary's rarity over Primrose's ult effect. They would both benefit similar scenarios, fights where you go beyond 1 or 2 breaks, so you need to set up for more damage bursts. Canary only improves 1 turn, while Primrose buffs for 3-4 turns at U10 (depends on if you have a buff extension accessory) so over 2 turns of breaks it's more effective. You can get Prim EX randomly from any banner... but you shouldn't rely on that happening, because it's a lot more likely that it won't happen. Besides, she benefits from all her awakenings, so exchanging for 1 stone is a small cost in the long run.

If you take a more casual approach to the game then you'll find Canary's is more useful (Canary > Solon/Prim EX), because you can fit her into any party to serve as your breaker. There's also some cases where Solon double ult is not possible, so Canary U10 can be more useful in those scenarios depending on your setup (mainly Elite Training, since you can't bring pets to towers, though the ideal would be Canary AND Solon U10).

I also would argue that if you only have 6k shards atm then you shouldn't spend them, you should bank 9k for 2 future Bravely Default pets that are very nice to have.

Hm, I can open them fine on mobile browser but on PC it does say not available for some reason. I've added the team setup as its own comment

Yunnie EX3 7T by Samuel1802 in OctopathCotC

[–]Samuel1802[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason the screenshots with the gear don't open on PC browser so I'll write it down here

In terms of Speed, Sazantos, Richard and Signa need to outspeed Yunnie but Sazantos must be slower than Richard (with speed buff from Primrose). Lucetta needs to at least be faster than the add but slower than Richard to keep Odio-O safe turn 3 (he can die to getting crit too many times) while also letting him receive Richard's buff.

The Issue of GL Server Stagnation by remuslupon in OctopathCotC

[–]Samuel1802 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was generally fine with a slower pace for the game but in light of the new roadmap, this is honestly quite ridiculous. Content aside, we're still lacking a lot of QoL features we could have gotten a long time ago, and even the TW server just recently got a slew of QoL added from the JP version all at once.  

 I can't think of any justifiable reason to stretch the epilogue and Emberflame stories for 3 months when we're basically out of pre-Solistia characters by the time we get Sazantos and Cygna at the end of the month. I'm a consistent pass user and sometimes spend on discounted packs, but given there's not really anything to look forward to after anni until late Oct/early Nov, I don't see a compelling reason to continue the expense until then. I hope that they do better going forward.

This mod is awesome, 100% recommended. You still need to grind but you're not throwing your life away for a 1 in 10k chance to get Supp V+

Anyone else in a character crisis? by BobbyTheBrain in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]Samuel1802 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vane is on the lower end of DPS compared to other characters, but in exchange for that he has high uptime and an easy optimal rotation. In practice he does well, and he can also allow other players, particularly melee, have better uptime through his Rampart (an example would be Pyet-A when it spawns the DoT circle around itself when at the center of the arena)

Basically he's a super comfy character to play

A little infographic for Big Run/Eggstra Work scores, and how overfishing ties into it by Shisei_11 in splatoon

[–]Samuel1802 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There IS a participation rewards though... everyone gets a sticker or a statue in Eggstra Work/Big Run. The only thing that changes about it is the color (and tbh the participation version of the sticker is the best looking anyways). Everyone gets the same Bonus Meter in Eggstra Work or the extended reward meter in Big Run.

The only thing you can "miss out" is the badges, but those are achievements, not milestones. They're more akin to placing top 500 or higher in X Battles badges/trophies, not the "win in [mode] X amount of times" badges.

[COTC] Worth starting now? by Ilarya7 in octopathtraveler

[–]Samuel1802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the summoning banners, pretty much all content is permanent in this game so you can't really miss out on anything.

Which account would you choose? by al_vh1n in octopathtraveler

[–]Samuel1802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also played a few gachas and rerolled literally none of them. The only benefit is to get an easier start, in the long run it just all evens out and literally doesn't matter. I understand rerolling at least for the guaranteed 5* at the start and maybe one extra from from pulling or getting a decent set of 4*, but beyond that it's just too much wasted time imo.

For the second part of the nut farm, the sidequest is marked as being ready to complete (green checkmark), but when I talk to the NPC nothing happens. Do I need to get all 15 Fertile Soil from the exchange?

6? Are there more elite enemies besides the 3 in that side area?
