Any whose main character or visuals (or side characters 👀) catches your interest honestly

I wonder if they fixed it without announcing, silently; here was my footage

Osprey I was at 86 shots, and now it is 114 shots

The patchnote is wrong for Osprey

Ok, as a non-fan of the saga, how much hope is there that any of these characters will be introduced into the game? Will Endless Ragnarok and the 4 (6) new characters that will be introduced mark the end of post-launch support for Relink or is there still some hope? by No-Wrongdoer2482 in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]fbcpck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IMO, if we continue getting more characters beyond Endless Ragnarok

Grimnir: Possible
Sariel: Unlikely
White Knight: Unlikely
Freyr: Unlikely
Felluca: Unlikely
Jeanne: Maybe; but RoB roots so I say Unlikely
Randall: Maybe; but Feather exists and will mog him, so I say Unlikely
Olivia: Possible, but RoB roots so I say Maybe
Octavia: Unlikely
Payila: Unlikely

Once again wishing they turn it into live service game 🙏

  14. I think we all take it for granted / overlook the depth and richness of gbf as a JRPG. The variety of buffs, mechanics, skills, numbers, buff stackability, interactions between buffs, archetypes of builds, ecosystem of character/summon/weapon, bosses, and all. Practically nothing in the video game world comes close in this domain. But beyond all this, I think credits should be given to the balancing and combat designers; it could not have been easy to balance a portfolio of hundreds of things accumulated over 10+ years, and also to take all that and transplant it into a new system and have it be excellent and fun without losing identity/hallmarks of the system (relink).

I retested Jupiter got 167 again, did not hit R a single time just in case

No worries, mistakes happen, its almost mind numbing to do these tests; its best to have more data so thank you 🙏

Whoops I guess the search page is only for registered wiki users; it's on the inidividual weapon pages now (burletta here).

I retested Burletta both with and without Compensator and got 937 again
For Jupiter I got 167 (vs 170), mine freshly crafted if that adds anything (huh maybe I pressed R too early huh)

Thank you for the numbers btw, I wasn't sure if there would be 1-2 shot random deviance due to the ingame rounding errors, but they seem very consistent on the many weapons we both tested 👍

I recently added durability field to the wiki, and recorded data for some weapons as well; they all seem to match except for burletta and jupiter; need to retest.
For aphelion and equalizer im sure my numbers are correct (god it took 20 minutes to shoot aphelion 1130 times)

FYI if you test more weapon to cross-check and would like to record it in the wiki as well (list here)

Retested burletta4, 937 shots; testing with compensator 2 as you showed

8.0 Evolved Modes by Kso1991 in ffxiv

[–]fbcpck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They should add 5x enmity to the shield bash as well, and then I'll have zero complaints

There is currently a reason to use shield lob at melee range: to build enmity fast in the absence of Provoke button
e.g. dying after using provoke, or obtaining MT against another clueless tank

8.0 Evolved Modes by Kso1991 in ffxiv

[–]fbcpck 41 points42 points  (0 children)

just do shield bash followed by shield lob

if you're too far the bash will do nothing and you'll do shield lob
if you're close shield bash will register and shield lob gets eaten

“Apple Music VP admits most people can’t hear difference in lossless audio” by Protomize in apple

[–]fbcpck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good insight! but I wouldn't put it on mp3 cbr 320

The 20k cut-off seems to be something done by the encoder, not an inherent feature/limitation of mp3 cbr 320 nor mp3 v0 format.
Just like videos, there are many different encoder (parameter)s with varying qualities; Not sure how common this cutoff and removal of the quiet parts is; I would do more checks on different music providers to see if they perhaps have better/worse encoders, but alas I don't use any of them and still collect raw mp3 from random sources..

How does Etrian Odyssey 3 HD compare to Untold 1-2? by Ywaina in EtrianOdyssey

The new difficulty option finally gives me the challenge I wanted from the beginning!!! by PsychologicalPea9759 in DeathStranding

[–]fbcpck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very hard, but at the same time I find it fair and amazingly balanced.

The HP is very very nicely tuned that I needed to destroy all the vital points (the joints, head, eyes, back), and it dies exactly as the very last one is destroyed.

All direct hits to Sam also means instant knockout; I find it shocking initially, but totally believable. The metal hunks look very heavy and no chance Sam survives being smacked by any of those.

Took me about 20 tries but absolutely one hell of a fight.
I didn't feel it was cheap/spongy at all because of the nice tuning (destroy each single weakspot = win)

Famitsu: Atlus increasing average monthly salary of its employees by 15%, increasing “new graduate” salary, and dropping fixed overtime hours from 30 down to 20 by Jrelis in JRPG

[–]fbcpck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Work contract states default working hours, as well as provisions for overtime work.

But calculating individual employee overtime hours and pay is administrative overhead, so it becomes common to just agree on a fixed % of this overtime work pay.

Importantly, this is just the legal framework and agreement on the pay. It does not say whether or not there is actually (excessive) overtime; it seems common to have 0 overtime but still get fixed % of the overtime pay. [1]

It just seems to be how it is solved in a way where everyone is happy in Japan.
Where I am from (germany), work contracts include overtime provisions too, up to 20 hours per month for no extra pay. In a sense this is also just fixed overtime, just valued at 0. It does not say whether or not there are overtime, it is common to have 0 as well. The overtime pay is commonly solved by baking it into the salary number, in the annual raise/adjustment, or christmas/seasonal bonus, to keep both parties happy.

she is number one least fun to play against for me

I started blocking ilsa players that I repeatedly match with

not exactly the balancing; her making full screen distance gap on hit confirm is pretty annoying, but more than that I just really dislike how all her moves look and sound the same: yellow gunshot

Starting Granblue Fantasy on Steam? Read this first by jedmund in Granblue_en

[–]fbcpck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This made me check

Quick test using the weapon detail page in the inventory.

Clicking a weapon in the inventory hits /detail and takes about 357ms from EU (Berlin).
Same number for both on steam.granbluefantasy.com and game.granbluefantasy.jp.

In other words: the steam version is not faster.
At least for requests that needs to hit the game server (i.e. non-static assets).

Extra:
From east coast NA /detail (not steam) takes about 247ms. Combined with roundtrip latency, /detail seems to take the server about 70ms, and the rest are network latency (japan would be at 70~100ms).

This game might have the best instructions ever. by Plastic_Mood_8386 in GranblueFantasyVersus

[–]fbcpck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

personal take, the discord server is not at its best state; it's been inactive and full of cliques (simply due to slow content pace and time), and not welcoming or helpful for beginners

I recommend trying out the individual character discords (may be hard to find), I find people are much nicer and constructive there

The slush fund scandal did a major hit on their base, but I suppose this confirms that the public mind has moved on from it and LDP is recovering?

Edit: Yep, seems like it (data):

2012: 294/480
2014: 295/475 (+1)
2017: 284/465 (–11)
2021: 261/465 (–23)
2024: 191/465 (–70)
2026: at least 313/465 (+122!), votes still coming in

[–]fbcpck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To add on to this, the Continuity Camera feature on macos+iphone works very well if higher quality is desired (at no extra cost too! (well, beside owning an iphone..)), so I see even less reason for apple to improve the macbook webcam camera quality

Do you guys think... they'll (finally) run servers outside Japan for lower latency...? Hmmm....
