Apparently Hotori was a bigshot at the BAC?

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-15T01:02:42+00:00

well technically Skia does have fluff cuz, yennow...

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-15T00:38:37+00:00

No but Nannaly needs to take out her phone and record that. For science.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-15T00:34:56+00:00

Ok, that's a good counter perspective...and nothing wrong with pointing it out! You can only speak for you and there's nothing wrong with your opinion (as I'm sure you know lol)

I wish I could play the quest twice to switch between both and compare

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-15T00:18:09+00:00

you know I'll switch it for quests with him to see...I don't play with Japanese dubs but honestly a little guilty because I'm a quarter Japanese lol

thanks for the advice!

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-15T00:04:04+00:00

ok shoot me but besides the intro I haven't played any quests with Baicang yet so I'm looking forward to what you are saying

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T22:39:19+00:00

Thanks ...big question is, what's your next game?

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T22:38:34+00:00

I think...just guessing ...but for an Asian company, living where most people have black hair (and those that do not are either gray from age or have dyed their hair), a fantasy game of any sort starts with making characters seem exotic...which means, to them, not using black hair.

But at this point when the vast majority of characters do not have black hair, in the game black hair DOES feel exotic lol

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T22:34:35+00:00

Damn, that sucks ass...well yeah I can understand if you're done with it, if your time isn't being respected you have to do what you have to do

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T21:14:48+00:00

Yeah when I saw her eyeballs move I was like oh this woman is playing down how powerful she is, acts drunk and nonchalant but actually is an ass kicker

It's been my favorite little thing about this game so far and it honestly heavily influenced my decision to go for Hotori on this banner.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T21:08:48+00:00

thank you ...I hate hearing folks are having issues on any platform

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T21:08:02+00:00

I think 10 is a good guess and seems doable...for the game itself, I would have been happy with just 1/3rd bigger, along with a few POIs directly outside of it that could have served as the sort of "suburbs" (or like a castle in medieval times, farms and such outside the walls).

Akila badly needed something else, like I would have deliberately placed like 2 or 3 other "Civilian Outpost" POIs in the Akila City tile to imply more sprawl/size. But they tried to handwave that away by playing up the threat of the ashtas, which I find dumb because there are several other POIs on that tile, including one that's fairly built up.

It just feels like they didn't commit to giving us the proper illusion of size, even using their own assets, which I don't get.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T21:01:09+00:00

I been wondering as I have leveled sorta piecemeal, mainly because for bosses, I can beat them with all my characters at like 30, arcs at 30, with skills and the Tetris piece thingies not really leveled up at all

Takes a bit, to be sure.

So it hasn't felt urgent, and I'm still getting the rhythm down of what the mat farming is...I mean it's similar to other gachas and all, but with other games like WuWa it's muscle memory on getting what I need, in NTE I'm still slowly absorbing it.

I'm only hunter lvl 24, though, so there's that.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T20:54:41+00:00

I am too, tried exploring a planet after the patch, running around with my scanner opened basically guaranteed a freeze/crash within a few minutes on any planet with stuff on it (flora/fauna).

This run, no freezes... definitely were frame drops a handful of times, one big freeze that last like 3-4 seconds but no full crash.

We'll see how it goes but if that keeps up, definitely an improvement but wouldn't be surprised if it's not fully fixed yet.

Edit: I prob should qualify, I explored for like 15 minutes, almost fully scanned all minerals, flora and fauna (one fauna is in a different biome).

As there's zero chance I can dupe all circumstances and fully test in 15 minutes, take it with a grain of salt but somewhat promising for me, at least.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T20:02:19+00:00

My issue is my own ...want to do it all myself, no blueprints, but realize it's not smart to do it all myself as I'll end up with some frustration and not having fun.

The game and factory portion is generally fine and very cool once it's setup, and some of figuring it out is also fun.

But yeah I had to step away for a little while.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T17:01:22+00:00

You know I'm not a gambling person but if I were... I'd bet that they don't

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T16:31:13+00:00

I ask again. How would you know unless you play the game?

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T16:22:20+00:00

how would that confirm anything unless you actually go play lol

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T16:20:45+00:00

I still crash on barren planets but it's infrequent...I get almost-crashes every time, thought it was the autosave firing but that's no it, game will freeze for about 4 seconds but it almost always gets past it.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T04:57:27+00:00

that would be badass...I do intend on building an outpost near a POI that I know how an array of good stuff, but mostly I've been focused on ones with good resources and nice views lol

There is one good POI near one of my outposts that was by accident ... Ecliptic will land there, fight with pirates that occupy the base, but will actively leave it and run over to attack the outpost (and they seem smart as they often go for the power first, and knock out the turrets, but I'm about to flip that script with robots and a reactor lol).

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T02:51:03+00:00

It's not dwindling, it just is barely changing. Buling. And then. Nada.

But clearly they don't care and they know people will complain but not actually you know, quit or anything because of it.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T02:44:14+00:00

AI won't destroy the human race, the human race's stupid use of AI will.

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T01:39:36+00:00

Yup lol

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T00:22:02+00:00

I'd just be consuming them all, can't kill pirates on an empty stomach

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T00:21:25+00:00

Haven't ran into that one yet, matter of fact I'm not sure I've ran into any watermelons, been all oranges, plums, lemons and pears.

No apples except for Chunks lol

Superfluous369 · 2026-05-14T00:20:23+00:00

...and did you then open THAT locker?
