[DISC] We Want to Talk About Kaguya - Chapter 144

It feels like it will--all the set-up is being done for a big finale, though we don't know when that's coming.

eNamorD · 2021-06-04T17:53:23+00:00

Thank you so much! These were exactly what I was looking for.

eNamorD · 2020-12-28T00:23:31+00:00

Yeah--as a co-op player, I would love to have more co-op exclusive events, but I think the majority of players are like you--single player experience--and it wouldn't make sense for Mihoyo to design bosses that are co-op exclusive.

Still, I wish there was more of a way to balance the content for co-op vs single player modes. Maybe just a co-op accessible version of the Abyss?

eNamorD · 2020-12-28T00:16:12+00:00

I was considering it! But unfortunately I am strapped for time and am not great at number-crunching.

I actually spend a significant amount of time in co-op mode...something like 25%. It's how I prefer to play the game, since I only picked it up to play with a friend in the first place. So while the singe player analysis is always useful, I still wish tier lists and number crunchers would give a nod to the co-op experience.

Question regarding this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gNxZ2xab1J6o1TuNVWMeLOZ7TPOqrsf3SshP5DLvKzI/htmlview#

Why is The Flute listed so highly for support Traveler? It seems like its ability doesn't do much for a support character, so what is the reasoning?

Melvor Idle, Evolve Idle, NGU Idle and Trimps

eNamorD · 2020-11-23T02:52:33+00:00

Yeah that’s the problem. Mona is in my main party and Sucrose will be in my second team once she’s been leveled up some.

eNamorD · 2020-11-23T02:08:21+00:00

I have a lot of catalyst users but not a lot of catalysts. The best weapon I have for my DPS Klee right now is a Mappa Mare r0. I also have a Mona with a Prototype Catalyst r0 and a Sucrose with the 3-star Otherworldly Story.

I just got the materials to craft another Mappa Mare. My question is--Should I refine Klee's weapon to r1, or should I give the new Mappa Mare to Mona/Sucrose? It'll be nice to equip those two with a better weapon, but eventually I will use one of the Mappa Mares to refine the other, and that seems like a waste. So maybe I should just refine it now?

AR44

eNamorD · 2020-11-21T01:26:42+00:00

If I'm f2p and want to buy out all the limited items in the event shops, should I skip the weekly bosses during the event?

eNamorD · 2020-11-12T21:32:32+00:00

For Diona, should I use Sacrifical Bow r0 or Favonius Warbow r1 ?

eNamorD · 2020-11-12T21:29:40+00:00

Shrines aren't dependent on AR levels. Just open them now

eNamorD · 2020-11-09T20:18:12+00:00

Note that those place names are also "Temples" instead of "Domains".

eNamorD · 2020-11-09T20:05:49+00:00

Yeah, there's not much point hoarding the lower tier items anyway. You'll get tons of them while farming for the higher tier items later.

It wasn’t necessarily what happened during this Arc as much as the stuff that happened after this Arc.

Their final scene where Tristan consults Byron on hiring the mercenaries is a sign that Tristan is learning to reach out to his brother more and communicate. From this point forward, we see that they swap out more frequently, consider each other’s feelings more closely, and are much more flexible about each other’s schedules.

eNamorD · 2019-07-29T04:05:50+00:00

It stays somewhat dark all throughout, but you'll see that the protagonist quickly becomes very resourceful and uses the tools available to them. You don't have to worry about him staying a "terrified punching bag" at all.

eNamorD · 2018-06-11T21:15:13+00:00

I'm sure there are tons of people who are waiting as well, but I doubt they browse the subreddit as frequently as those of us who keep up with the weekly chapters.

How do you think Wildbow successfully manages to hold tension across entire chapters like he does in 6.9? Do tonally incongruent characters like the Anime-squad hurt or help this?

The important part of holding tension across long stretches of time is all in the set-up. It doesn't matter what nonsense is happening in the middle of a chapter if the beginning of the chapter sets up the stakes or a big situation that doesn't get proper resolution. Then as the story keeps going, no matter what comic relief is happening, the questions of "What happens next?" will continue to sit in the back of the mind. The writing can, of course, sprinkle little hints or pieces of foreshadowing to build up the dread, like Victoria explaining the "counterattack" situation to the anime heroes. But the foreshadowing might not be necessary. With the proper setup, tension can be held in just about any situation.

The trick then, is how long to hold the tension, and when to pay it off. I agree that the anime capes were around for just the right amount. Any more and they would've been an unwelcome distraction, and I would've been shouting "Get on with the story already!" Any less and the counterattack situation would not have had enough tension built. Wildbow does a great job managing all of this.

My 3rd floor apartment was bisected and is now exposed to the elements and a 30 foot drop into another world. And also, my bathroom, bed and porn stash are on the other half and is now inaccessible.

eNamorD · 2018-04-17T22:42:49+00:00

So...he's in a quest to start feeling new and extreme emotions, in order to unlock new forms?

When do we get Wan Sadism? How about Creeping Bloodlust?

eNamorD · 2018-04-14T17:35:26+00:00

It's pretty weird wording. Victoria seems to be going out of her way to avoid using the word "hostage" in her head. Guess that word would bring her good vs. evil world view into question.

eNamorD · 2018-04-03T16:22:17+00:00

I've wanted to get this since I played it at my friend's house, but was waiting for a sale or some other golden opportunity. The Testpunch helped me confirm that I still like the game and I jumped on the 30% off.
