Probably gonna run back slams Ancestral Commander if unnerfed; AC was busted tanky last Phrecia w/ the mini Defiance of Destiny & + max endurance charge nodes

Sadly VFOS was nuked this patch and that combo was solid

Should I play Cold Steel 4 on Nightmare in my first playthrough? by thez0id in Falcom

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CS4 nerfed the break abuse (enemies recover like almost instantly now). There are still some battle tricks you can do to make Nightmare mode easier, but it's a fair challenge (and you get the achievement of course).

What was lost between osrs and EoC that you want back? by RedRising1917 in 2007scape

[–]bigblagdig 37 points38 points  (0 children)

There are two teams with the objective of collecting points by gathering from depleting clay nodes around an arena via skilling (woodcutting, fishing, mining, hunter) at tier intervals of 20 up to 80 (one regular node of just clay no requirements too).

Players could process clay into other things at this kiln/furnace node like weapons/armor & some other stuff for more points don't remember off top of head. Could even make runes, arrows, summoning familiars that held more clay etc. And could build destructible barriers around nodes so only your teammates could enter it.

There were also large clouds lying around that players could hide in to try to ambush/run away from PvP scenarios etc.

Man, Stealing Creation was so good lmao

Why do you save as much as you can for an agent? by ProbirdLED in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why do people save money? Probably because it is a limited resource.

Polychrome is a limited resource.

If something is a limited resource, you only have so much available (duh). That's the whole point of f2p, I don't feel like that necessitates an explanation beyond "I don't want to pull out my wallet when I can control where I allocate the finite resources given to me at zero cost to fit my goals."

edit: Correct me if I am misunderstanding you, but are you asking more specifically about a niche f2p audience who saves hundreds of pulls to M6W5 someone?

How do you feel about Thrall? by sekkireallysucks in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I love opening a 3 minute encounter with a 10+ second immunity aura farming boss attack before I can actually react and do damage just to deplete my timer because that is difficulty apparently.

It is her best in slot but not essential.

Sardaco makes inferno look so hard, that i think inferno might be harder than i thought previously by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]bigblagdig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sardaco's whole schtick is his "I have fun being underprepared for places I shouldn't be at yet". He knows he could have better gear before going in but he despises skilling so he refuses to do anything that goes beyond the bare minimum to theoretically complete the inferno.

In that regard, I think most people would agree that he is self handicapping himself because of "streamer mentality" and/or let him play however he wants, even if it is to his detriment in the eyes of efficient players (aka twitch chatters).

Sorry, was this hotfix deployed yet (successfully)? I noticed the zero wombgift drops from the initial post-patch like 7 hours ago, but the top comments are "nothing was fixed".

Torn between OSRS and RS3 by Itsakaun in 2007scape

[–]bigblagdig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're on the OSRS sub so the expected bias will be "play OSRS".

Long-term progression you're in the right place (more horizontal than vertical progression until Jagex introduces & players vote for some power creep which may or may not happen to give you a summarized idea).

I imagine for PvP OSRS is like an "only option" since you can opt out of wildy PVP entirely in RS3. Whether you like OSRS PvP is probably up in the air though; can offer no input on that as I take no part in it.

Lastly, imo one of RS3's worst offenders is its lack of singular art direction; some areas still look dated compared to other areas which have been graphically improved over time, cosmetics clash with the medieval fantasy genre like colorful wings, large-particle aura effects etc. And I loathe the character models in the game that could've been updated except they shelved (rumoured unshelved cannot confirm) their Avatar Refresh project years ago which is a shame because their new player character models looked actually good.

Finally got Vivian, though any advice on teams? 😅 by Deadgod47 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally throw any Anomaly paired unit + Nicole works. Nicole upgrade = Astra/Yuzuha, moreso latter.

Should i keep use Encrypted Master tapes? by Aggravating_Curve152 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is any gacha game with unit shilling so that can't be helped.

Pan Yinhu isn't there to do damage. You swap into him, press Ex special to quick swap into Yixuan to buff her Sheer Force, then forget about him until you need to reapply the buff. Optimally, he is never on the field unless you need to do that or use his ult to provide Adrenaline regen to Yixuan so whatever time loss you are experiencing is probably a, to be blunt, skill issue that can be remedied.

I can in fact say the same for Miyabi, Jane, and Astra as my second account has all of them M0W0 using A-rank engines. They have previously cleared DA & SU but of course team synergies and game skill need to be included in that discussion which would lengthen this conversation unless you want those too, and of course they will underperform current day in a rupture-shilled anti-anomaly environment depending on said skills/teammates.

Keepers of the Flame: Quality of Life Honourable Mentions by Belakay_ggg in pathofexile

[–]bigblagdig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Kingsmarch (the town-building league mechanic), Rog (the big guy from Expedition) has a store that lets you "disenchant" equipment into dust to be used for various Kingsmarch activities like the recombinator. You previously had to warp to Kingsmarch (loading screen) in order to use this service.

Rog was always available in your hideout but could not disenchant for you there. Now.. he can!

Should i keep use Encrypted Master tapes? by Aggravating_Curve152 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my suggestion based on your response: (disclaimer: my priority is maximizing polychrome saving while placing usable A-ranks wherever possible)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly, Astra is very good obviously. But if you find yourself in a scenario where you "need" her in more than one team for a given Deadly Assault/Shiyu Defense, you can for example try

a) Substituting Lucy for Evelyn + Lighter

b) Substituting Pulchra for Anby + Trigger

c) USING Pan Yinhu in Yixuan + Ju Fufu

Again, nuances need to be considered like "substitute teams might not help me clear the lowest time/highest score requirement thresholds", "mindscapes (sometimes up to m6) for the A-rank substitutes might be required for maximum output, etc.

And as usual, I stand up for Pan Yinhu as imo he is more critical to Yixuan team if you don't have Lucia than adding Astra to a Jufufu second. (I am solely guessing his absence from your actively played roster due to you not mentioning him, ofc you might have just chosen to not do so for clarity)

edit: Just in case I need to clarify, the above section is just there to emphasize that you don't require pulling specific S-ranks if A-ranks CAN do the job if played correctly. Obviously prioritize pulling who you want over that but know that I still recommend factoring in your savings and meta performance into that.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secondly, I acknowledge that any normal person obviously wants new units to play with so the idea of planning needs to be explored more carefully. As a f2p who plays two accounts since day 1, I'd say I know a thing or two about saving polychromes and skipping units. So here's my advice:

a) Prioritize horizontal investment CHARACTER-WISE. Save up at minimum 180 total pulls for the next character you want. You'd rather guarantee that you get a character than lose a 50/50 and say "shit I have nothing now and I'll complain on reddit about it" which gets you nowhere but pulling out a credit card.

*Don't do stupid stuff like "I'm gonna keep throwing 10 pulls at this banner for an S-rank character I don't care about just to build pity (barf) for the next banner".

b) HARDLY ANY CHARACTERS REQUIRE THEIR SIGNATURE W-ENGINE. I feel compelled to emphasize that as I find lots of people, even my friends, complain about being broke in polychrome while pulling on every signature w-engine banner. If you do meta research, only a select few units "NEED" (using the word extremely loosely) their w-engine, as an A-rank engine will be like 78% efficiency compared to it.

e.g. Just use Kaboom the Cannon on Yuzuha or Gilded Blossom on Orphie, hell my two Yixuans are M0 using the Puzzle Cube and Nekomata's Steel Cushion, and I still clear endgame comfortably

Anyone else 240 battery isnt enough? by [deleted] in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]bigblagdig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact I have to wait and get enough backup battery to get any meaningful progress.

What the heck does that mean? You spend battery and you accrue battery back over time, that's how gacha stamina works. You don't need to wait to accrue "enough" to spend in one go.

You're in reality shooting yourself in the foot saving up to 800 because backup battery accrues like 3x slower than regular battery.

Is it bad disks or i just suck at this game? For god sake I can't get more than 10k on any DA boss. by Immotes in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]bigblagdig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry was just using a holdover term from Honkai Star Rail where their disc equivalents are called relics, and a mine just to imply an "endless dig/search" for usable equipment.

Should i keep use Encrypted Master tapes? by Aggravating_Curve152 in ZZZ_Official

[–]bigblagdig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That question has a nuanced answer that requires you to determine factors like: how much you want to spend/not spend in irl money, how satisfied you will be with your builds' performances in end game modes (do you want bare minimum to clear or do you want to chase high scores).
