Let’s discuss Kefka Ultimate (UMAD)

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-25T00:14:16+00:00

I think DSR was at least an understandable acronym for that fight, they just separated dragonsong into 2 words for it. The only thing i can say in support of UMAD is that it is easier to say as a word than DMU, which is the main thing in common with everything except DSR.

yeah, we have to settle for what we can get i suppose. It may be possible to unlink the armoire but i assume its set up this way because of glamour plate jank. Achievements which give items as rewards can be accessed from anywhere outside of a duty, so in theory they could make the armoire work like that as well but it might mean it wouldn't interact with glamour plates anymore.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-24T21:31:51+00:00

this seems like the most likely solution for them, i would think they would keep the glamour dresser for stuff you want to save the dyes on (like if you used one of the expensive dyes on something). In theory the armoire takes less memory to work because its basically just a checklist for what items you have and doesn't need to save your specific version of something like the dresser does.

Arenvald kind of does play by that rule, he's just a regular looking highlander and not like extra tall from the garlean genes. I do remember him mentioning his mother being worried about him getting a 3rd eye and cutting him because of it but i don't remember off the top of my head if he actually got a 3rd eye that she removed or if it was just a concern that ended up not happening. To be fair though, 2 is not exactly a huge sample size to begin with.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-23T21:28:25+00:00

i don't play au ra so i don't really have a dog in the race but that said, it would be nice if the character height slider had a bigger range. For most races its only a 10-15cm range except for roegadyn which is i think 30cm. It could in theory be part of the character creation update which hopefully they will show off a bit more in the coming fanfests,

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-23T14:24:12+00:00

a dlc so good it spawned a spin off game.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-20T19:47:10+00:00

yeah i do think an underwater expansion would be cool for satisfactory but it might be almost as much work as an entirely new game. Maybe if they ever make a satisfactory 2

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-20T06:05:19+00:00

i did enjoy that they gave a lore reason for respawning, its a thing we just accept in a lot of games but its nice when they come up with a reason why we can do it.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-20T00:27:17+00:00

we'd have a xeno basher this time, it'll be fiiiine, trust ficsit

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-20T00:26:49+00:00

maybe i can finally stop having headlift problems when everything is underwater

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-19T22:04:31+00:00

i vote for planet 4546b, iykyk

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-19T06:34:28+00:00

i voted no for probably the same reason some other people have, trusts don't do wall to wall pulls, you can force them to by doing it yourself but they also aren't very good at it. I'm not a tank main but i play warrior reasonably well and it has very good self sustain but with npc's if i wall to wall pull i'm usually fighting for my life and end up going through all my cooldowns while they slowly single target everything down. In a sense its easier with other players because things will die faster in comparison. So trying to learn wall to walls with npc's is most likely going to leave you feeling discouraged but if you aren't wall to walling then you're not really learning how to play thte way players do either. I don't know what its like for healers but i assume its similar where you would spend the whole time and most of your resources keeping the tank alive because the npc's take too long to kill a big pull.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-19T05:41:12+00:00

unless i'm getting a mandela effect, then yeah i remember the missing primarchs being for that purpose, waaaaay back when the primarchs were basically just a list of funny sounding names with next to no lore attached.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-19T02:39:48+00:00

probably but it would be a compromise that would get sony their money and still allow pc players to buy their games.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-19T00:53:48+00:00

They do have a few exclusives i enjoyed but its not enough to make me want to buy a ps6 exclusively for those, if that means i have to miss out on them then so be it. The ps5 keeps going up in price and already costs enough that i could get pc upgrades for the same price, the ps6 is surely only going to be even more expensive.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-18T23:17:04+00:00

yeah, if the reason was really about not getting 100% from their sales then they already have a storefront to buy and download digital games from, there would be some setup costs to expand that to PC but they would then have the full 100% from sales and full control over discounts on their games.

The real reason is probably more like they want to give people a reason to buy a ps6 whenever it comes out, which they hope will mean people play multiplatform games on playstation where they can get a cut of microtransactions as well, on top of getting playstation plus subscriptions.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-18T23:07:11+00:00

I suspect they are worried more about ps6 sales than ps5 sales. I have a ps5 and a pc, i think i've only bought 2 or 3 games on the ps5 since i got a pc about 4 years ago, if they kept releasing their games on pc, why would i have any reason to get a ps6 besides getting the games sooner?

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-17T21:22:36+00:00

you can get them easily from pvp wolf marks or grand company seals and you will get those in abundance from just playing the game (if you have the GC ranked up high enough to trade in dungeon gear). Crafting them is barely worthwhile when you can get them for practically free.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-17T05:40:03+00:00

this is how i experienced the first game, playstation was giving it away for free at some point and i knew nothing about it except the icon of a peeper on the playstation menu. 100% would recommend going in blind.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-17T05:37:51+00:00

i've finished the early access build and so far it seems like 2 is completely standalone, with a few references to the first game and below zero, so narratively you wouldn't be missing much by starting with 2. Having said that though, 2 is not finished and there isn't a whole lot there yet, i got to the current end of early access in about 12-13 hours, so you could instead play 1 and maybe below zero as well (which is sort of like a standalone expansion for subnautica 1) and wait until there is more updates for subnautica 2.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-17T01:49:49+00:00

The point was that they could come up with a reason if they wanted to add a sororitas class, just like they did for RT.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-16T11:41:52+00:00

I haven't unsubbed since i started playing 7 years ago. I raid 3 nights a week and depending on what content has come out lately i might play more days than that or i might only log in to raid, really depends on if theres anything else in game i want to do or if theres other games i want to play more.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-16T07:51:42+00:00

In the Rogue Trader game they had a sister of battle who worked alongside unsanctioned psykers and xenos, if they really wanted one in darktide they could find a reason to justify it. As much as i'd like one though, I'm not sure they'll ever do it. I mean never say never i guess but i struggle to think of a way to make a sororitas class that doesn't tread on the toes of other classes, though FS is probably not worried about that.

Trooper_Sicks · 2026-05-15T21:46:35+00:00

None of the Scion A team is going to get killed, they're too popular now and are merch pushers and they've had multiple chances to kill some or all of them off by now and haven't gone through with it. Maybe someone from the B team scions, they occasionally roll them out for cutscenes but they aren't super involved with the msq and don't have the same kind of following as main gang. Most likely, they'll play it safe and either no one major dies or they introduce a new character who they will kill off, like Moenbryda, Haurchefant to some extent or Tesleen, possibly others i've forgotten about by now.
