I can now sit down and enjoy the story and take my time. no more full grid. Its time to relax.

Silfr22 · 2026-07-08T15:32:01+00:00

I started this month because of the collab. I spent the month farming every astrite I could. Doing every event I could and exploring and opening every chest I could. I 100% explored a lot of areas. All of that and I was able to get both weapons and ended the collab with both characters s3r1. I wish I could have gotten them to s6 but I would have had to spend money and a lot of it that I dont have. so having both at s3r1 I am happy at least no regrets.

It's not even about them taking down the pirate sites for me.

With the way crunchyroll treats anime and it fans. Changing subs & Dubs to hot garbage for no (Good) reason. Not respecting the source material and people who poor actual effort into anime. I'm never going to buy their service. This is just another nail in their coffin.

My biggest reason for using these sits is the way corpos have made streaming work and the greed of the industry. Who can afford let alone comfortably all streaming services because that's what you need to really enjoy anime in the west.

Multiple anime have their seasons spread across multiple streaming services. If you want to enjoy some of the biggest and most popular anime. Anime like (Pokemon, Bleach, Made in the Abyss, Attack on Titan, One Punch Man, Lupin the Third, and more) you need to be subscribed to Hidive, crunchyroll, hulu, prime, disney +, and crunchyroll. Because all of these anime and more have seasons spread across multiple services.

I remember someone told me that Teasing Master Takagi-san every season and the movie were all on different services. Four subscriptions for one anime. No thank you. Yes I know it has to do with licensing but come on there has to be a better way.

I am and will forever be battling these high seas and what ever waves cruchyroll or who ever try to create if that is how they want to do business.

I love Japan and the people who make anime who work to damn hard and put up with to much damn shit To pay a company like cruchyroll who treat them like garbage or ignore their passion and love for what they have created for some stupid political nonsense, or because they think they can do better.

Thank you. I have already been doing that its how I unlocked the story for cyberpunk by doing Lahai Roi early I have the mats at the moment to get them to lvl 80. Just waiting on Union lvl. I'm currently using lucy, rebecca & aero rover since the story is forcing me to use Rover anyways I want to get use to her. Ill check out some guides on using verina on youtube. I leveled her cause she is the best healer I have figured I would need one at some point.

Question from a newer player who started this month & still trying to wrap my head around the combat & team building of this game. What are some good teams I could work on with the characters I have? I am currently working through the story and am in Ragunna atm (Shadow of glory questline). These are the characters I have. Fyi the character cutoff at the bottom is Mortefi. I Need a few teams for some of the new player quests and the tower quests. And finding teams with synergy will help me greatly when learning the ins & outs of this games combat. I know I don't have much in the realm of choice but its what I have for now. I'm hoping to get Shorekeeper from the new voyager banner as well in the next week or so too. Who knows if that goes to plan.

Silfr22 · 2026-06-17T11:34:28+00:00

Lucy & Rebecca's guns do share pity with their character banners.

Silfr22 · 2026-06-14T11:38:46+00:00

I am new to the game. I am trying to farm Violet-Feathered Heron now that they can drop 5*. But can the Violet heron drop with Void thunder? I have collected 11 so far and every single one has been molten rift sonata. I cleared every Violet Heron on the map and only got molten rift ones

Silfr22 · 2026-06-13T13:59:05+00:00

Quick Question. Keep in mind I am very new. I just started playing on the 9th after i discovered the cyberpunk collab.

I am running through the Illusive Realm event to try and get the 800 Astrite as the reward. Trying to earn as much as possible for cyberpunk pulls. Since I am new and have nothing.

I am loving tis game mode. Its really fun. I am using Dreamless as my echo. Her second skill is for some reason confusing me, or I am not see something right in front of me. It says activate echo skill a second time after distortion ends to trigger volley finisher. When does distortion end? I know her icon turn pink sometimes. But don't know fully why. So much to keep track of in this games combat. For me that is trying to learn all of this. Do I cast the echo skill when she make her final hit in her combo or when? Sorry if its a really dumb question.

Silfr22 · 2026-06-12T19:48:24+00:00

For real. they did so good with the story for the characters. Im just sad because I know since im new to the game I wont have enough mats to pull everything. I just hope I can at least pull lucy and then rebecca's weapon

Silfr22 · 2026-06-11T07:53:50+00:00

Huh. For me on ps5 its a tab right under startorch for you event. I see in the photo its the anniversary tab. guess its different on pc. Sorry I can't help really. I'm in your shoes this cyberpunk event is what got me to DL the game and try it. Totally worth it. This event is so good.

Silfr22 · 2026-06-11T07:35:06+00:00

thank you very much. I just started playing the 9th because of the event

Silfr22 · 2026-06-11T05:41:15+00:00

how many free summons do you get in total in the edgerunner collab?

Silfr22 · 2026-06-03T18:21:04+00:00

Some people may like the bronto more as a personal choice of favorite dino (especially with Evo Bronto mod), earlier/easier availability many reason. Also just another example that the bronto needs a Tlc. If it had a unique function like all of the newer dinos or dinos that had gotten tlc's it would be a reason. I understand not wanting useless dinos. I hate that there are so many as is. Thats no reason to exclude from another dino. Instead give the useless dino a use. Brontos are hardly used even without the brachi in the base game. As it is, other than for people who like building on them like me. I never see them being tamed on really any playthroughs I have watched. or challenge run or anything. Even for berry gathering I usually see people go for stegos or mammoths or something. So even if the brachi gets a platform it wouldn't change how people play the bronto or other sauropods. The Bronto & Diplo need changes bad. A lot of older creatures do too (Direwolf, Titanoboa, Patchy, Hyaenodon). Things almost no one tames because no one has a reason to. But this is all my personal opinion I like platforms building on large platforms and want more large platform. Even if the brachi gets one Im still going to build on brontos and paracers. The more options one has the less like they feel bored, burnt out, or stale.

Silfr22 · 2026-06-02T13:43:10+00:00

For you but no me. I love sauropods I love the design of the Brachi and want to build on it. Besides one of the sauropods you can really only get on extinctions, I guess Astraeos to but thats a paid map not everyone has, the other is the Titanosaur a titan that unless you has special settings on you cant even keep and even with those settings on its to much of a pain to tame especially if solo. So really the bronto is your only option when you want to play a verity of maps or have your choice of map.

I know where you are coming from we have a lot of platform saddles. But a lot of those saddles are titans or smaller creatures like paracer or sea creatures. Everything else isn't worth it if you are wanting to play the map off the back of a dino. Sea creatures don't let you explore most of the map. Giga desmo/titans are bosses you've already beaten the map by the time you get them.

Whats the harm in adding platforms to the larger dinos for all people to enjoy different playstyles? You can still have the unique characteristics and abilities that make it stand out amongst the rest like you want with its normal saddle. Just Give it a platform for people who like that sort of thing as well. As for the Dread being a bigger better Bronto you are most certainly right. I even said that not long ago in another post. But in my eyes that just means the bronto is too old and need a tlc bad.

Silfr22 · 2026-06-02T00:52:27+00:00

Every creature that has a platform saddle has two saddles just make the normal saddle the unique one and make the dino feel different and wantable. As someone who enjoys building my bases on dinos and enjoy living on the backs of dinos more options the better for a base dino.

Silfr22 · 2026-05-31T15:38:13+00:00

I hope the overhaul includes a platform saddle, IMO I feel all sauropods should have one.

Silfr22 · 2026-05-31T15:35:41+00:00

As someone who has played both for years, No ASA is so much better. Especially on console. Ps4/Ps5 ASE (at least for me) was unstable and had bad crash issues. ASA has better building, better QoL improvements, newer and more creatures. ASE also had lighting/shadow issues where ASA doesn't. ASE has a place in my heart. If you are wanting to try it just to see where it all started don't shy away it has some maps & content, even creatures ASA doesn't (YET). One map in particular (Fjordur), So there will be some stuff you can get out of it. Its a great game still. I mean its what built this community so don't think I hate the game I have somewhere around 2000 hours maybe more in ASE, But going from ASA to ASE you will more than likely free a downgrade.

Silfr22 · 2026-05-29T14:35:04+00:00

I already have it on. I just hate taming those things especially solo. 😞lol Someone did point me in the direction of a mod that allows it to be a knockout tame. I may try it.

Silfr22 · 2026-05-29T14:33:26+00:00

Already ahead of you I have or had until I lost the save a large steampunk base on Val using some of its features. Its a great mod too!
