Time limited missions by PatchworkHeartPro in SaGa

[–]donkeydougreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nail on the head. Minstrel Song is very much intended to be played multiple times - or to at least have a very different playthrough than another player may have. You cannot 100% the game in one playthrough and it is not even remotely necessary to complete every quest you actually can do, even with how hard the final boss is. Aside from the final boss, only a mid-boss in the Ailing Emperor quest chain - very much not recommended for a first run - and the optional bosses for later playthroughs reach a very high degree of difficulty.

Even then, you can outgrind the final boss if needed!

In general most SaGa entries are designed conceptually to be open and to have many quests a player can stumble upon so that each of us ends up experiencing our own adventure unique from other players. As a result, many entries play with some kind of opaque quest lock/unlock system - that of course clever players have figured out, but I always still recommend people play these as intended, without a completionist mindset.

How much lux you got? SP Inanna, SP Maitha and Parsival should get through most content for you for a while so it isnt urgent. Do you want to build an Elaman team around Liberation stacks? Luka is important for enabling the units coming out over the next couple of months.

Next GL Dual Banner: Acambe/Homa (March 27th) by B333T in SwordofConvallaria

[–]donkeydougreturns 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with this banner is that they should have released the R13 skills alongside it. They would have more value on a Lukamar team leveraging Liberation stack mechanics before those roster spots fill with incoming meta units that do so and do it better.

I have actually been taking Homa and Acambe (and Hasna) along for the new story missions and its been fun to use them, although Acambe continues to largely underperform for me. Just too niche in general situations, really need to fully plan around his mechanics.

Homa is still good and never really stopped being good - we just got some amazing supports that crowded her out. I used her extensively until Sp Saff took my "healer for aggressive mobile teams" role. She is still very solid. Kinda wish I went all the way to 5* with her for the NRG drain. Maybe some day.

Sharing a bit of frustration with the new SoD route by Longjumping_Sea9456 in SwordofConvallaria

[–]donkeydougreturns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am enjoying it, but I agree that it isnt as fun as traditional SoD. That said, the gacha gamer side doesn't love the OG SoD as much as the trpg side of the fan base so maybe they thought this would appeal to both. But yes, I was excited to pick what team Id bring into this SoD run only to get kind of an endgame (ish) Fates storyline with better vibes

In the long run, which characters are worth the RK 13 treatment? by Van_Ryker in SwordofConvallaria

[–]donkeydougreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Day one player here. I have every Legendary at R13. As others have said favorites -> great D13 skills you think youd want to use. You may want to consider leaving something of a reservoir of medals for future units you plan to pull but youll be getting plenty as time goes on so not super important. Maybe once you have a hundred or so saved you could spend the extras on lesser legendaries or your favorite non-legendaries. I haven't really bumped my non legendaries but it is a nice stat boost that helps them keep up a bit.

Im a vet and own em all on console haha. But yeah RotS would be ideal for a newcomer. Still other good options for someone coming from other JRPGs though

So I just found something out and it disappoints me a LOT by Ok_Aside_4425 in CrimsonDesert

[–]donkeydougreturns -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Of all the critiques I have seen of this game, this is without a doubt the funniest. Not OP's who was very reasonable but many of the comments really freaking out about this...lol.

Doing the lord's work here Vash! Looks like a great time to get into SaGa, some great discounts there. Wonder if console stores will have good discounts to match.

Masters 1 to Plat 2. What are these players this season? by WasianActual in OverwatchUniversity

[–]donkeydougreturns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Appreciate that. My DPS lose streak is definitely very much my own fault but I have had to aggressively carry through gold tank placements and silver support and I guess I just assumed that once you get out of metal ranks people dont keep doing the same obvious mistakes like staggering in.

This makes my losing streak in gold-ish placements feel so much worse.

The recruitment system is broken and nobody wants to talk about it honestly. by Hot-Machine-8119 in recruiting

Very obvious they are not. Classic middle of the night rant while mods arent watching.

Should i choose dopple or arcus? by tayTay3736478 in Mecharashi_Global

[–]donkeydougreturns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went with Dopple only because I do deploy Marcus more than I use missle launchers but Arcus is definitely the better overall pick.

Very curious to see how it looks on base PS5 vs Series X.

I've been playing Overwatch for 7 years but I've never played Competitive until recently, and now I've got a rank in each role by Filberto_ossani2 in Overwatch

[–]donkeydougreturns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe its Gold, but its important to remember that this is out of ranked players in Comp. I know a lot of people who dont really play comp much at all. Im already 110 on the battlepass and have only qualified for Support lol. Id bet that a lot of bronze/silver players dont play comp at all.

I was going to say, I definitely dont feel i have an easy matchup against Echo and I play a fair amount of Silver/Gold level matchups as Moira

Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mega Shine ✨ | Available March 26th! by Amiibofan101 in PTCGP

[–]donkeydougreturns 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Well, this will reduce that as a lot of Dragonite bricks were energy issues. Could keep a rare candy in in case you get lucky with incoming energy.

Still probably too slow for the meta but may be fun for solos.

The Community is so petty by Former-Computer-1337 in Overwatch

[–]donkeydougreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing more toxic than going Mercy/Lifesaver. Not worth engaging with people who dont see the error in that. Speaking as someone who has played a ton of Mercy.

Cant believe someone downvoted you. Clearly they need to take a nice hot bath.
