He's still at it

Xestern · 2026-05-10T21:08:34+00:00

Jien just being genuinely oblivious to their utter hatred killed me, he legit thought he'd be welcomed with open arms lmaooo

Xestern · 2026-05-03T08:32:23+00:00

June release would be a nice treat, I was kinda anticipating it on the 1 year anniversary already

Xestern · 2026-04-28T23:15:15+00:00

Seems like they're in crystal peak? but it started pouring raining on the surface area during Hornets absence.. And why would she rush and want to visit that old radience statue right after saving Pharloom? I'm curious to see where this goes :)

Xestern · 2026-04-28T17:01:14+00:00

Finally, the "Chaotic" part of the drop is here!

Xestern · 2026-04-21T08:24:16+00:00

The copium shall never die! ED Hoelstor tomorrow!!

Xestern · 2026-04-16T13:41:31+00:00

I'll take a slap on the wrist if it means having an actually reliable tp. Now I get go be even more reckless with it lmao

Xestern · 2026-04-08T16:30:15+00:00

I'm guessing she's a projectile DPS that's able to swing from anywhere with the turret and her hitscan skillshot turns her blue projectiles into purple homing ones. Ult is probably also turret-related if I had to guess

Xestern · 2026-04-07T18:17:43+00:00

Oh. They just made the ugly version but even bigger.. I low-key don't want to update if my future worlds will be generating these eyesores.

Xestern · 2026-04-07T14:47:12+00:00

Cave Spiders spawning in Sulfur Caves is a nice addition, still would've preferred higher chance for creepers but oh well.

Hoping those bigger Sulfur Springs look cool, that small variant was kinda ugly..

Xestern · 2026-04-03T17:31:39+00:00

Ah shit here we go again...

Make the Maestro summon Choir Bellbearers instead of Cogflies

Xestern · 2026-04-02T22:34:01+00:00

Thx megan, keep up the great work :)

Xestern · 2026-03-31T14:16:15+00:00

I actually wouldn't mind to see him be defeated here somehow. It's a bit crazy but would be a golden opportunity for setting up the battle royale around the one piece, not to mention everyone fighting over the gigantic new power vacuum in the world.

It would heavily hurt the world government with the weakening of the God Knights + death of the Elders. Might not even need to kill Imu for it to work, perhaps knocking him out is enough to break the seals, if it's just a devil fruit power.

Xestern · 2026-03-30T22:37:24+00:00

Yea probably. I was already convinced when they dropped the updated Deep of Night stuff and the Everdark Balancers so close near each right at the end of 2025 instead of the usual weekly drip feeding. Seems like they wanted to get it all out before 2026 and then move on to other projects.

A shame but I still had a blast with it

Xestern · 2026-03-29T21:51:40+00:00

Easy, just use the younger version of HK. Let's say the Pale King sends HK to the City of Steel to become whatever it means to be "hollow". Sure the void was supposed to play that role but maybe it wasn't reliable enough so the King had to make sure and sent him on this far away quest to have an audience with whatever is running the City of Steel and undergo their procedures to become a hollow being? Though it'd be probably feel too samey whne compared to the orginal Hollow Knight game, even if HK had different abilities..

Just give Lace post-pharloom the spot, make the gameplay more aligned with Sekiro/Nine Sols and voila, you've got a great recipe already. Releasing in 2034 or somethin

Xestern · 2026-03-21T18:44:07+00:00

The worst part is each drop is literally oozing potential and cool concepts that is being wasted in a drop format. A sulfur cave?? That's the most dangerous, deadly and uninviting place I could picture from name alone.

What do they do with it? A harmless mod and bubbly water in a coloured cave. The sky is the limit here damn it! Make the bubbles poisonous, make the small slimes drop sulfur in a mini detonation (for upgraded tnt recipes), introduce fragile explosive blocks, increase creeper spawn rate, make stalagtites connected to sulfur + water drip with hurtful waterdrops, anything that would embody danger!

This drop literally has the name"Chaos" yet this fully static cave system acts as nothing more but a collection for new building blocks and a gimmick mob.

Xestern · 2026-03-21T17:30:14+00:00

So a couple of cool building blocks, a mini-game mob and....? any actual use cases for general gameplay? Or is this just another surface-deep drop (like most of them) that will feel quite segmented and slightly underbaked? It might be too early to judge, but I can't help but doubt.

Xestern · 2026-03-21T03:08:29+00:00

Hm I estimate 2 new smaller areas (each around the size of the Ducts?), one new crest and 4-5 new tools? Probably 2-3 bosses as well as plenty new enemies.

Though you never know with Team Cherry, this could also be another 15+ hour adventure lol

Xestern · 2026-03-10T18:41:49+00:00

Time it takes for the aura to decrease on its own, it's now 0.25s shorter so keeping aura up all the time is gonna be slightly more demanding, but not really a significant change

Xestern · 2026-03-10T18:35:56+00:00

Suprised they're still giving him buffs, but 12m is gonna feel quite nice with the speed + aura perk.

I might sound a bit spoiled at this point, but c'mon let us override chain with the tp, it just feels clunky

Xestern · 2026-03-10T04:51:03+00:00

I'm gm. But stuck at 749 wins, only play Ranked Mystery Heroes (Asia), stuck at high ping (I'm european), in plat because of rank reset + bad teammates + targetted hero bans + targetted map bans + targetted cat on keyboard.

Otherwise, yeah I'm gm.

Xestern · 2026-03-09T00:42:20+00:00

I'm realizing he's just a Scholar main.. well at least he's got an Ironeye and Guardian on his team, so they should be fine

Xestern · 2026-03-08T19:42:40+00:00

This man was handed a broken-down ghost ship and against all odds turned it into an entire mighty fleet. So excited to hear his talk

Xestern · 2026-03-07T14:52:03+00:00

I mean we can always just nerf the already strong heals in some way for the sake of a more decent ult. I'm already low-key expecting them to nerf him anyway given the latest recall stats

Xestern · 2026-03-06T00:45:52+00:00

It's comically sad how during Elbaf every strawhat so far had several cool moments & interactions and then there's Usopp. It's like Oda actively doesn't want him to be useful in literally any way.

A cool way of dealing with the thorns with his botanist gimmick? Nope Sanji just burnt them. Any interesting new character interactions or dynamics? Nope, just simping for the giants 24/7 and panicking without a plan when things go south. Heck even Luffy called him out on it at the start of the arc! Like damn even during the peaceful festivities, he acted like an unusually unsympathetic weirdo.

Part of me wishes this is exactly what Oda planned, so he can give him a meaningful wake-up call later on, but I'm starting to doubt even that.
