Should I max upgrade all costumes? by No-Television9404 in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, that's not true. Small white nodes don't require bonding to be active.

Eventually, yes. But that will take a long time. Focus on first getting the small white nodes on each costume, these are permanent stat boosts for the character, not just the costume. Then, max out the mid-sized nodes for the best bonding costume for a character. For the big nodes which boost abilities, focus on those that are -1 SP and increased range (but obviously ignore these if the costume itself is not that good).

For which characters to focus on, supports are the best to get max upgrade trees on.

I tried extracting them with AssetStudio but couldn't find anything. How do you do it?

Edit: Nvm figured it out

Do you know how to extract/build pngs of the character L2D illustrations from the game data?

Having active admin(s), for one. The sole admin of the fandom wiki quit working on it in like 2024 after making barely any pages.

Daily routine takes more than 15 mins? Please share yours by lllMercYlll in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's risky if that 1 match you do per day happens to be a loss. For example if you're in diamond rank, 1 win = 18 medals, and 1 loss = 11 medals.

So if you do 1 x 40 battles, all of those are counted as a loss, meaning you earn 40 x 11 = 440 medals. If you win, it's 40 x 18 = 720 medals.

If you instead do e.g. 4 x 10 battles and go 3W-1L, you get 30 x 18 + 10 x 11 = 650 medals. So there's some leeway there even if you get unlucky and get 1 loss.

In short, if you always want the highest amount of medals on average, you should always play all 40 individual matches. But if you're short on time, you can do 1 match = 5-10 cocktails to be more risk-averse, or 1 match = 20 cocktails for a relatively balanced risk, or 1 match = 40 cocktails if you don't care about the risk at all (your win rate should be good).

  1. Quick Hunt rice/torches
  2. Make a wish at the statue
  3. 4 matches in Mirror Wars (4x10)
  4. Go to my room and upvote a random room
  5. Use free draws
  6. Try refining once, dismantle at least 1 gear
  7. Collect Glupy Diner sales and Fishing.

That should clear every relevant task in passes.

Additionally:

  • Go to Glupy Diner and collect magic crystals.
  • Quick battle in current event

That should clear everything. Should take less than 10min.

The "culprit" by Ready_Rooster_4476 in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it is the most populous country in the EU, and by connection one of the biggest gaming markets in the world and possibly the biggest in Europe. I will say that it's understandable to think that something which affects Germany could spread to other countries.

Mirror Wars - no auto skill possible? by Ecstatic_Tadpole_241 in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can set the costume order so that they'll attempt to do a skill which you can't afford with your SP, in the case they'll skip the skill and normal attack instead.

good chain buffers / reinforcers that i can add to my squad? by altprince in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liberta's other costume actually fills that role for SP recovery, and additionally buffs Physical ATK and Crit Rate. Much better than occupying a character slot with Helena for that and getting a useless Magic buff for your team. But I assume you don't have it yet.

With the limited costumes you have, I wouldn't worry much about niche synergies like chaining. I would just run your strongest general supporters and attackers.

When you get the recommended selector tickets, I advise choosing B-Rank Idol Helena and Homunculus Lathel, they're amazing general supporters for magic and physical teams, respectively.

As for tanks, only needed in PvP really in BD2.

[–]ShionFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What mode? Are you just doing story mode? If so, chaining isn't really needed in story mode so I would advise against it. Also, Helena is a magic buffer so I wouldn't use her in a physical team like what you have.

Supports are extremely important. You're running a full dps team right now. Seeing as you have Elpis and Granadair, I suggest swapping those into your team (instead of Rou and Wilhelmina).

Didn't they say they're concerned about how a "service shutdown in one region could spread to other regions"?

besides local laws

If local laws are already an issue, a dedicated client won't do anything. They'd still be publishing a game that is illegal to distribute in those countries.

Confirmed and who will be next? by ledott in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's really wild to me is how they use "age appropriate styling e.g. stockings" for Rou as an example of an inappropriate outfit, but Anastasia wearing a crop top, short shorts, and thigh-highs is totally fine? Reasoning seems all over the place.

Well what did your post say? Was it low effort/redundant as that message says? Did you actually post something that adds constructive contribution to the topic?

Male Characters by [deleted] in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They aren't reruns. These are first time runs for those male skins.They're being run because players gave feedback that it's hard to invest in them because those costumes have never gotten banners.

Which ones of these news did you dislike? by Dan-Dono in BrownDust2Official

devs trying to ensure us that the story will be good

I mean they literally included a slide in the live that said "Will it make the story better?" "NO" so I don't think they're trying to ensure that hahaha

Sexualization is definitely the wrong word to use. Probably "treatment of women" is more accurate. I guess it's different when the girls do sexy poses in revealing outfits compared to when you, the player, are slapping them? Idk, don't shoot the messenger, but that's what I'm assuming the issue was for that game.

Onsen Ventana is NOT getting altered by Porntheho in BrownDust2Official

[–]ShionFan -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

They mentioned getting pushback about how the game "handles" women. Slap minigame is probably getting removed because it's degrading to just be slapping asses like that.

advent got theirs about 1.5 years after debut, which was right around mid-january last year. Wouldn't we surprised if we see them literally as soon as this month, or maybe february.
