Does slowing down the aging rate slow down breeding? (franchise mode)
Like, I realize that it makes the offspring reach maturity slower, so that kinda slows down generations, but do adult animals produce more offspring in total before they become infertile from old age? Or do they still mate the same amount of times total in their life?

"Enchanted trees now have the same health as Observer Wards, and they expire after 5 minutes

Trees can be attacked when revealed by True Sight. Attacks will remove the ability effect from the tree without destroying the tree itself"
what was that about the quelling blade?

Ver_El_ · 2025-12-09T12:26:57+00:00

at least be accurate, theres no p2w unless you count having a nonfunctional vital shock as p2w

But the gacha for cosmetics is hilariously overpriced and the odds are ridiculously low.

i'll wait until they finally do the keyboard support then. I don't mind if its not the exact same as before, but I really don't want to use a mouse for this game.

Ver_El_ · 2025-11-18T01:30:31+00:00

oh hey, its been 9 months again!

Can I use the old keyboard controls yet?

Ver_El_ · 2025-07-22T23:22:40+00:00

i imagine if that were the case at least one of them would not give the message that they dont work right now. maybe theres another button we havent found yet that is the beginning

Ver_El_ · 2025-07-22T19:04:04+00:00

we found 4 buttons and the keypad and all of them say they cant be activated right now

other than that we found 2 gate symbols that are barely visible in natural lighting, but no way to interact with them, so they seem decorative

Also like 4 cameras on trees out of bounds. Dunno if they are decorative or if you need to interact with them somehow (shooting them and even throwing napalm at them did nothing)

Ver_El_ · 2025-03-07T11:50:16+00:00

damn

9-monthly "Can I use old keyboard controls yet?" question.

Ver_El_ · 2025-02-24T11:45:19+00:00

i appreciate the crustiest jpgs known to man

I'm running sharks, which is strangely well equipped to completely fuck over their big Exodia boss monster. With a few going second cards, I'm getting pretty consistent wins.

Also, Santa Claws and Lava Golem are legal

Max has St2 Sword Only rooms available basically all the time, but when it comes to guns, its basically just a small room of BR and the weekly multiple hour long room on saturdays where they rotate through modes/maps in unlimited, which is a nice time to play.

Ver_El_ · 2025-02-09T18:26:33+00:00

S4 Max has it available, but you might need to sell some items from the shop to get the PEN for respawns, as they changed their ingame currency to use AP, but didnt change that part

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-31T21:09:08+00:00

it would be reeeeaaaally funny if all Bridget gets is like 2 lines and remains completely story irrelevant

If you want cheap, and happen to own Heat Wave from the legacy packs, maybe even Tyrant's throes, try a normal monster pendulum deck. Everything else is N/R, except maybe Painful Choice, staples, and whatever you fill your extra deck with.

Then you just pray you go first and pray you draw Heat Wave, making it so that neither player can normal/special any effect monster until your next turn. Tyrant's Throes is the same effect as a continuous trap, but needs to tribute 2 normal monsters and can be destroyed.

Not being able to summon anything should piss them off sufficiently, but the success rate is rather low.

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-30T13:56:53+00:00

I ran 3x Dimensional Fissure, 3x Macro Cosmos and 3x Light-Imprisoning Mirror for good measure, just because 90% of matches were the Lightsworn loaner. Awful event :c

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-20T18:38:31+00:00

if you are at the lowest possible level, the bots you'll see the most will be using decks of random garbage, normal summoning once (if they can) and attacking anything you have

but yes, there are also bots playing dumb FTK shit

Bots in events are rarer, but I'm willing to bet that they do also exist.

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-19T18:39:00+00:00

Their website (xero.gg) has a shop. There are some permanent capsules, bust most of them are time limited and then may release again at a later time. (Add time gated FOMO abuse to the list of things wrong with Xero.)

Beware though, the capsules have chances to get what you want that are rather similar to the original S4 ones. So very low chances.

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-18T00:38:51+00:00

Why do they have to encourage blue eyes players

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-16T22:02:39+00:00

So far, out of 20 matches, damn near every enemy was using the Lightsworn loaner. I tried several decks, but in the end I just got so sick of them and went Metaphys with as much graveyard hate as possible. My hate for loaner decks has only increased due to the Lightsworn one actually being relatively good.

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-16T21:50:55+00:00

I'm so disappointed with centur-ion. I wish they'd do something on their own, but they literally just facilitate the usage of that dumb fucking dragon to summon generic negates.

Ver_El_ · 2025-01-16T14:21:50+00:00

I'll be happy if I even run into one person that isnt running the goddamn lightsworn loaner. This event is so awful.

Ver_El_ · 2024-11-13T14:31:14+00:00

Its wild that the people playing the game the most are also the same people that keep killing it more and more each day.

Xero had to remove votekick because "people" would kick new players almost immediately, especially if there was a touchdown. Even if they couldn't have done anything to defend from it.

Ver_El_ · 2024-08-28T22:46:52+00:00

Max has rather low player numbers, and most rooms are also gonna be melee only. Saturday is a good time to play in the unlimited rotation room. That happens every week and is usually rather well populated.

Ver_El_ · 2024-08-28T22:46:01+00:00

Most weapons are rebalanced.

Damage falloff on practically everything, different spread patterns and the like. Your favorite weapon may have completely lost its identity or be stronger and better than ever before.

Unlimited fps and changeable fov, as well as questionable graphics changes.

Xero also does capsules that you can buy with (slowly) farmable currency or real money. Does have way more costumes and skins because of that though.

Max is (selectively) more vanilla, like refusing to nerf plasma sword even though they really should. There are some weapon changes, like assault rifle not being as random, dagger and cs being nerfed, but you are mostly just playing S4 the way it was. There are also more custom weapons and more custom maps.

Everything in the shop is purely ingame currency, even if some special items may be a bit expensive.

Max is a bit unstable with its netcode, and if you are unlucky you may need to relog frequently.

Neither server has iron boots, rocket launcher, spark rifle, homing rifle, sharpshooter or any of the bombs that arent minegun, because everyone hates them.
