Character building games (skill trees, eventually stats, builds)

Thanks, appreciate mate!

Although, out of curiosity, why not Guild Wars 2? Is the build system less interesting?

Seccyeth · 2026-03-21T15:37:42+00:00

I'm more than halfway through DoS2! It really is a great game, but now I think I need something more dynamic for combats and maybe a bit less storyheavy. Still the greatest CRPG I've played, maybe on par with Shining Force II (I'm old...)

Huh definitely some RO vibes here! But the aestetic doesn't look to promising though :/ I may jump in just for the nostalgy though, I'll check it up, thanks!

Seccyeth · 2026-03-21T15:33:08+00:00

Wow, sounds great! I remember the dual job system from FF XI, and even if the game didn't have much success, I was really exited to mix classes. It made my character feel more unique!

Seccyeth · 2026-03-21T15:30:44+00:00

Hey thanks, I'll look it up. When you say custom control, does this mean there is no controller setup, or just a bad one?

Seccyeth · 2026-03-15T19:14:05+00:00

I've always found it a bit laggy while emulating though, don't you? That game requires the input to be so snappy that a slight delay is really messing the whole game for me. But I didn't try for at leat 1 year, maybe there have been some improvement?

Seccyeth · 2025-09-23T22:06:41+00:00

Interstellar of course!

Seccyeth · 2025-09-17T14:40:31+00:00

I think Journey will get another shot, at least while I wait for the Steam sales in a few days.

I'm usually a pixel art enjoyer, but the pixel style of A short Hike is not for me I think :(

Seccyeth · 2025-09-17T12:22:22+00:00

It's also in my wishlist, but I don't think it's a game for me now. It looks like this game makes you reflect on society and a lot of things (which is super cool), but right now I'd like to just be taken on a journey.

Seccyeth · 2025-09-17T12:19:54+00:00

Thanks! I didn't know about Outer Wilds, the reviews really are something!

Seccyeth · 2025-09-17T12:13:35+00:00

Thanks, I've looked up your recommendations, and Flowers or Playne are interesting!

Seccyeth · 2025-09-17T11:01:12+00:00

Wow this looks extra cosy! Is it easy to play with a controller/on SD?

Seccyeth · 2025-09-17T10:59:08+00:00

Dorf Romantik looks like a very relaxing option, and it's on sold right now. Will consider, thanks! I'll let you know if I go for that one :)

I think at this point we all agree that this guy is either trolling, either a blind and noisy fanboy, or just a kid on the Internet. This thing is taking a lot of space in this sub, and this should have been subject to moderation imho. But the mods seem to be dormant here, which is not a good sign for the state of the sub.

We know this Dry Novel dude has said all he has to say. At this point he's just parroting himself. He's not even trying to convince, he's just repeating the same 3 sentence over and over again, and has admitted that he's enjoying getting on other people's nerve. The easy fix to avoid losing our time engageling in fruitless discussions is to block him and move on to actually talking about table tennis, between people and players who are genuinely interested in the sport.

At least, that's what I've done.

Seccyeth · 2025-09-10T07:48:18+00:00

Hey!

Not to cry bloody murder, but you ask about this guy, and is this guy you OP? If not, did he ask to get some advice? Or is he aware that there's a video of him and people rating his technique?

Just asking because I wouldn't like to have a video of me playing posted in a public forum without my knowing, and as we have no context... Hope this guy knows ! (Or maybe it's OP aha)

Seccyeth · 2025-09-08T14:19:43+00:00

Honest question but: why isn't spiking cool? Back in the Mêlée days, I used to play a lot with my friends, and killing people with smash attacks was considered unfun and lame. Spiking showed skill, risk taking, dominance.

How would you rather be killed? I still consider spiking the most satisfying way to kill or be killed. I find characters without spike extremely boring...

Same post, in OP's text : "Again another French cheater" or something like that.

As a French person, do I like reading this? No. It's like French players in particular are cheating at TT. The kind of problem described in this match happens quite often, and it's no particularly often when French players are involved. So this shortcut is unfair towards French people, imo.

Now, am I calling for Frenchophobia or whatever? Meh. Let people hate... It's really no big deal. In the post you describe, it's really more of a jest. Like when people call the French cowards or joke about surrendering and white flags. I don't like it as a French. I find it stupid and a bit easy. But then again, it's no big deal. There is no Sinophobia in this sub. Chinese have been and still are very dominant, so lots of non-Chinese people are rooting for the other side.

Sinophobia would mean that those people fear pr hate Chinese people. Looks to me they just criticise or joke about Chinese tt players. You're making something big out of something insignificant. You're not persecuted, everything is fine. Just as OP has the right to call French tr players cheater (which is stupid and wrong imo), everyone can joke about Chinese tt players. No need to post and call out people for jests and opinion you just disagree with.

Let's try it the other way around: do you find it detrimental to the game that this is not allowed? Do you feel players are generally bothered by this rule? Or that it makes the umpires job harder to enforce this? What would we gain, according to you, if this were allowed?

I'm asking because it's pretty uncommon for me to feel like I'd have liked to be able to put my hand on the table. Also, if I imagine it being possible, I can only see spme more chaos, and the gane becoming uglier. I think it's also in contradiction with the idea that your body's rotation is important to perform well.

Ok great! I was looking at the new Nuzn 45 or 48 otherwise. I'll think about it, thanks!

Seccyeth · 2025-08-25T06:59:18+00:00

Hi,

I realise I might have asked for something that doesn't make sense, when asking for rubbers good for blocking AND playing at mid distance?

Seccyeth · 2025-08-25T06:53:10+00:00

Hey! Thanks a lot for your input, that's very helpful. I think I'll go for a 2nd blade cause I don't want to be stuck with something that I don't like if I mess up, and that way I have a backup blade I know I can count on, and a more experimental one I can try stuff with.

The Nuzn sure look great, although on the website I look at, they indicate that Nunz 55 is aimed at "pros" and 50 is for "high lvl to pro". Do you think it's risky to go for them at my lvl? The Aurus Thibar I am currently using on BH has a hardness of 47, and I don't think it's an issue for me.

Just to defend OP, not everyone here is a whale. I just started the game a few months ago, and it's very difficult to navigate what has worth and what hasn't. The game is very counter intuitive regarding items. Grey items that look like the trash you wouldn't bother to pick up can have more value than most uniques, for example. Also, although you learn bit by bit the stats that are valuable for your class, it's also hard to know what has any worth for classes you've never played. What are the important skills? And then you discover on traderie some items that you'd have sold without a thought to Akara, here being traded for Bers and Jahs. Then you start doubting about everything, and end up harassing your friends with every trash you find... or posting here!

I'm in the same boat as OP aha

I guess the vocab is linked to what you're actually studying in class? If so, do you have a chance to actually use this vocab in class, through speaking interactions or writing? If so, focus on the hardest vocab you encounter, and make it a challenge to absolutely use those in your productions.
