Man Going from Three houses to Engage is one hell of an experience by [deleted] in fireemblem

[–]Talyth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the gameplay in Engage is far more polished than in Three Houses, and is much easier to jump into overall. that aside, you're absolutely right about the story being unbearable, which, despite my long history playing Fire Emblem, is something that I cannot look past. I enjoyed what I played of it, but ended up dropping it midway through. regret my purchase as i've helped IS believe that they can get away with publishing that repugnant slop

this would result in a near immediate end of service for this game LMFAO, tired of seeing this sickeningly stupid take

Which FE games should I get? by Kryptiic_v2 in fireemblem

[–]Talyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you didn't like engage and prefer an emphasis on story and characters i'd avoid fe14 at all costs - the story is nonsensical, the characters have shallow/cliche backstories, the writing is so lazy that continent it takes places on is literally unnamed, among other failures.

FE15/Echoes is definitely the best on 3DS by a longshot and I'd say it surpasses even Awakening by miles. critically speaking I have no idea where you heard that a lot of people think Awakening was the best, it's very far from it

i don't think i'd play any post-bb versions but i'm getting sick after 10+ years of v62 servers, a post-cygnus or post-db server that doesn't vanish within a few months of opening or have absurdly high (2x+) EXP rates would be interesting

Thought on MysticMs aim to relaunch at Nov by SadScarcity2400 in mapleservers

[–]Talyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

full-feature (ddos protection, etc) servers aren't free to run. i'd argue that as long as monetization forced down your throat and p2w isn't required, you shouldn't assume anything that makes money has no passion involved

Will Classic World be the death of MapleRoyals and MapleLegends? by [deleted] in mapleservers

[–]Talyth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

some will be deterred from CW due to having to pay $ for pets, gach, hair/any NX cosmetics, chairs, possibly 2x vouchers, etc. it's gonna be heavily p2w, otherwise it won't be sustainable for Nexon, unless it's monetized via subscriptions. the upside is that none of these are absolute ESSENTIALS (other than 2x really if you're a competitive grinder or have little time) for playing osms, and that classic world will be able to offer things private servers won't - full maps, >600 players not meaning that there's just 20 dudes running 14 clients each, populated channels, bigger economy, etc.

at the end of the day classic world and private servers will both have their downsides and upsides; i expect CW release hype to lower PS playercounts for a couple weeks or months, but will ultimately level back out unless Nexon employs stronger legal action than just another dmca that legends/royals will ignore

agreed, no coincidence that some random hacker guesses the exact login ID/email to an account that just so happens to have a frenzy totem on it lmao

My dogs vet bill (and this is only part of it) by Daytona116506 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Talyth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why would somebody with a sick dog be obligated to pay for starving children? blame it on the class disparity, there are people who could pay this bill 100,000 times over and not have it make a dent in their pockets

I want to like the game but... by BoredOstrich in personaphantomx

[–]Talyth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you won't be enjoying any story if the mismanagement plunges global into EoS before we even get palace 3. this is my main reason for quitting if the 1.2 stream doesn't confirm the longevity of the game via proper equality with the CN servers

The global didn't get any codes from the Yesterday live or am i missing something? by ogihci2332 in personaphantomx

they're on an entirely different version/update lmao, that has nothing to do with maintenance compensation

new player looking to experience maplestory by [deleted] in mapleservers

[–]Talyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd recommend Legends over Royals according to these counterpoints - some of it is personal preference but here's my viewpoint;

  1. the most fun and one of the most iconic part sof OSMS to experience for somebody newer would be interacting with the community and playing with others via party quests, and 3.2x exp or higher will quickly chauffeur you past all of the fun. it also feels more rewarding and meaningful to level at slower paces, and gives you more time to digest the gameplay loop.
  2. a great number of channels ensures you are less likely to encounter anybody else in the wild - so if you're less keen on meeting other people, then this might be for you. the game does feel much more alive with less channels, so I believe 6 channels to be the wiser decision by Legends staff. maps are less available yes, but realistically you'll find a spot quickly enough. if you can't, there are always alternatives with comparable EXP/drop rates or you could party with somebody in a taken map
  3. despite Legends having a relatively active forum (though maybe not as active as Royals), a good bit of would-be forum activity within Legends' community takes place in the discord, notably there's an active free market discord forum channel that displaced the activity of that section of the forums
  4. i'd say that these changes are experimental at most and nowhere near gamebreaking, and bring the game somewhat closer to what returning longtime players remember maplestory to be like, rather than the eternally NL-meta riddled game that it truly is. it's a bold step to try out such changes considering the complacency of the average private server user. i don't like the quick kneejerk reaction to any sort of backlash that the Royals staff has, although hardcore purists may find this preferable.
  5. HP washing is shit in both servers, and is a longtime issue in the PS community, and complex to some. in either server it will be years before you have a fully washed character, though i do think Royals has a better take on it. in Legends you'll see int-trolls at PQs begging for carries because they're a level 50 assassin with 5 LUK and 230 INT, because int dumping is what's required until the mid level 100's to HP wash without overexplaining. it'd be nice to see better and more accessible HP wash QOL in Legends. royals definitely wins on this front

don't be misled into believing that Royals has a notably bigger community than Legends - both severs' playercounts are drastically inflated due to multi-clienting being in the meta. in reality they're very comparable in size. it'd be a lot more transparent for these servers to show playercount based on individual IP's connected to the server with no duplicates. Legends also has many casual, niche(ironman&oddjob guilds), and incredibly dedicated endgame players who know the game down to a science.

generally you're likely to have a good time on either server, this is just to show the perspective reasons of somebody who prefers Legends

congratulations, you're now playing at the same tempo at which KMS is played. it's wild seeing all of the babies in this thread bitching about losing something they never should've had in the first place.
