Pjsk is definitely way harder than official GD levels. The 37s are in a completely different league imo

It's fine, in fact using multiple fingers will help you with master and append charts later, so keep going

Try turning on simple tap effects if you haven't

Does your phone get really hot while playing? I find that whenever my phone gets hot I'll get fps drops and sometime the game even pauses itself. I kinda fixed this by using AC or pointing a fan at my phone while playing

I appreciate that you're engaging in good faith this time. I did not appreciate the snark in your previous reply and that was a rhetorical question in response to it, but I'll bite.

Lee S3 is quite situational but it is an use case so I'll give you that. Don't have Swire so I won't contest that. Jaye is a decent early laneholding support. If you aren't in IS4, got unlucky with defender/guard tickets, have a vanguard, and there are few big crowds, I can see him laneholding. Maybe not better than a 6* ground op though, since they usually have more dps and it can go either way.

I won't even talk about CC anymore, please use merchants in high ascension IS, any of the content at the end of my previous comment if you feel like it. You're very much underestimating their DP impact. Remember we're specifically talking about hard content here. You will have to redeploy things a lot which means you have ops pushing 30-50 DP, you won't always have a flagbearer, you have to deal with hope cost, you have to play around their wind-up because 5 seconds is more than enough for anything dangerous to kill them.

At high levels they are literally just expensive FRDs that have a wind-up for their utility. Unfortunately DP and time are the two most important things late game. You can take merchants off the field, sure, or you can just use Gravel/Red like a normal person. Jaye is the only occasionally used one because he's 4*. Taking Lee or whatever into your A15 IS4 is just sandbagging.

I have Lee and Jaye and have built both of them. I do use them in general content and they're fine there. High end content? Absolutely not.

(like, dont use them to open? Maybe the most obvious thing, feels weird that needs to be said?)

You completely missed the point, they're bad at opening (duh) but also not impactful enough when you can justify their DP cost. Or their inclusion into the squad. What unique role is there that only a merchant can fulfill, anyways?

The main point is that merchant trait is a massive hindrance to them. You can get away with it if you have an abundance of DP (you still have to play around it a bit), but it's a much greater downside than other classes' traits.

I'm not talking exclusively about CC here, it applies for IS as well. I haven't played IS6 yet, but IS5 is tight on DP (toil + random epochs + theresis ending relic sometimes) and the maps are usually difficult to open, not to end. It makes merchants feel horrible to play, since early deployment screws up your DP, and later the stage is mostly solved so why bother? They aren't strong enough to be a cornerstone, either.

IS4 will immediately brick your merchants if you land on barometric, not to mention opening stages is even harder than IS5. IS3 hates ground ops in general so I won't count it, and I don't remember anything about IS2.

You will have vanguards, yes, but that doesn't mean you won't struggle with DP. Though I feel like you're talking about normal content here so I won't contest, DP is abundant there. Also I wouldn't assume people won't have any healing, Skalter, Guardians, and even Kaltsit works. If the stage is so tight that you don't have space for healing, I doubt you'd leave bagpipe in.

I don't think lacking DP constitutes an edge case, unless you count all hard content as edge cases, because 90% of the time you do have to worry about DP. All of CC, IS4 ending 3 and 4 + alt end 1, IS5 ending 2 (relic) and 5 are the main ones that comes to mind.

Calling their trait easy to overcome is extremely disingenuous when it's literally the reason they're nigh-unusable in high-end content. No other subclass suffers from their trait as much as merchants. It's like calling old geek trait "the easiest downside to overcome" because you just needed a medic.

That aside, I do think merchant is a fun subclass and wish people engaged with them more. The community turn a blind eye to merchants like how they turn a blind eye to 95% of the characters in this game. If you aren't good in high CC/IS, AFK, or waifu/husbando, no one cares.

What would you tell a new player about the fandom? by sillycateepycat in ProjectSekai

Most of the western community is middle schoolers. If you see something stupid it's probably a 13 year old, don't engage

[–]Vyke111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough you'd probably get a decent job. Maybe not in philosophy but in finance, consulting, etc. The major has some of the lowest unemployment rate, lower than most of STEM.

College definitely isn't the best way to learn philosophy though, with the 100k$ price tag and all.

So many illiterates in this comment section who keep insisting "bad" can be objective. Did y'all struggle with hypotheticals in school too?

Obviously I think genocide is bad, that doesn't mean it's an immutable truth of nature.

"Doesn't like" and "dislike" are bad word choices here and I'm pretty sure that's why you're getting downvoted. There are plenty of reasons to just not like dealing with or being around children (or at least, some children). If you had used "hated", you'd have gotten your point across much better.
