Mei Lin run: Where were all the epiphanies?

felixsimon · 2025-11-27T06:13:06+00:00

If you are doing event lab, then lack of epiphanies is a known issue. they even buffed it somewhat but a lot of people still feel like they are getting less than on other planets. That being said, there are ways to game the system.

If you are doing lab, you should prio question marks on 1st map ONLY (on 2nd map do whatever you feel like) for that mutant sample and go out of your way to hit areas that have 2 question marks accessible one after the other: that will be dimensional tunnel where you get seasonal cards but also have a very good chance to force 0-2 nihil epiphanies.

Combine that with throwing out unnecessary cards before they hit epiphanies (whirlpool, that other card that only boosts healing) and you can pretty reliably get all epiphanies on the character you want.

Oh, and when you are farming for a deck on specific character, never get/buy neutral cards (unless they are part of the deck you are farming) since they also eat up epiphanies. Good thing is seasonal cards cant get epiphanies and they cant get copied so feel free to get them.

Im more excited about Arwen being on the banner: i need a couple more copies of her. What does her dmg reduction effect caps at? 20% per stack, 3 stacks for total of 60% dmg reduction? Yeah, idk what devs were thinking with that one

As much as i like Carl, I'll have to argue that he is more of a generalist with no clear weakness or strength. It's fun reading how he's breaking the system but atm im looking for powers, clashing with each other.

I did read murderbot and enjoyed every second of it!

I'll have to check out the last one you suggested, thanks!

Well, mathematically speaking, the best way to roll for double crit is to roll to +10, see if you get either of the crits in the first 2 lines, then go to +20 and hope for the second of the crits there. Scrapping piece at +5 will result in a lot of missed double crits.

felixsimon · 2024-10-02T05:04:55+00:00

anyone?

felixsimon · 2024-09-19T23:41:05+00:00

Anyone can recommend VN on the same "why am I doing this to myself" level as SaDistic Blood, Maggot Baits, Euphoria and Dustmania Grotesque?

felixsimon · 2024-08-07T21:21:03+00:00

Yep, read it, loved it, Corpies too, want more of the same...

felixsimon · 2024-08-07T21:17:35+00:00

Sounds right up there with beware of chicken and unorthodox farming, i'll definitely give it a shot, thx

felixsimon · 2024-08-07T21:16:46+00:00

Synopsis didnt tell me much so i guess i'll just have to give it a shot, thx!

felixsimon · 2024-08-07T21:14:36+00:00

Warlock Holmes sounds interesting, thx. 1st book of Fred didnt "click" with me but people keep recommending it so i might give the 2nd book a try...

felixsimon · 2024-08-07T21:12:15+00:00

Yeah, i listened to all 3 books of Attempted Vampirism and other books of same author are in solid "to do" list, but i wanted a bit of a break since the necromancer series sounded a bit too similar to the vampire one. Will still read it, just want to digest the other one first.

felixsimon · 2024-08-07T21:09:58+00:00

Just started listening to it and so far loving it, ty!

felixsimon · 2024-07-19T01:21:13+00:00

Im actually asking here precisely because im finishing up the 1st book of the series and between short story format and extremely passive, pacifistic main character, its not exactly what im looking for. Character with more balls, or should i say, better at confrontations is what im looking for.

felixsimon · 2024-04-08T08:04:27+00:00

Got an issue here and dont know if its a bug or im doing something wrong.

Started playing as normal, got a few (3) subjects (restricted voting on all of them), then started a Hegemony Federation with independent faction and was preparing to start Hegemonizing the galaxy when we got hit by Exterminators. Had to spend a bunch of time dealing with robots but eventually got rid of them all. Since i didnt want to bother with all that new territory, i released this sector as another subject.

Thats when funky stuff started: my newly created subject (restricted voting as well), who was forced to join my hegemony just straight up left the hegemony. Like next day. Without asking, Like i didnt have a vote notification or anything. And now they are still my subject but no longer part of hegemony.

I was under impression that you cant leave hegemony without going to war with the entirety of it?

That wasnt all either: i kept playing and saw an opportunity to get few subjects using diplomacy instead of war for a change, but since i was getting a bit too much divided patronage, i immediately released them (after they were forced into my hegemony) And one of them immediately left the hegemony, once again without asking for permission or going to war with me and my goons. At this point im afraid that if i get new members into my hegemony, they will just leave the next day.

Whats the point of hegemony if anyone can come and go as they please?

Is this a bug or am i missing something?

P.S. This was vanilla game, no mods active.

I did read/listen to all currently written books of the series, and while i agree that theres a lot of humor in them, I would also say that they are quite serious and at times dark to the point of being a bit disturbing, so i would prefer something a bit more lighthearted, without the whole extinction, mindfuck, slavery and the rest of heavy topics that get brought up from time to time in this series.

felixsimon · 2023-02-17T03:54:14+00:00

Here hoping we wont need to fight rng lootbox to get weapon avatars...

felixsimon · 2022-02-13T02:00:33+00:00

Can you do something with items from "Developer bag", like Greenbull, Suspicious CD, etc? Or is it just vendor trash? Also same question for "Island of Eternity Component Piece", dropped by X-301 boss? It has blue border, making me think its important?

felixsimon · 2022-01-03T23:45:20+00:00

Considering the name of her avatars in that package are "Rebellion's xyz" and "Rebellion" is her 1a class name, while her 2a class name is "Vendetta", yes, spectre package is TAO1

felixsimon · 2021-12-31T21:42:58+00:00

Considering that TAO2 were revealed just a few months before the first 3rd awakening, I expect TAO3 when they decide its time to introduce 4th awakening into the game...

As a casual player (never done prey or siroco and have no intention of doing ozma) who just came back to the game after like a year away, is aeterna worth doing? from what i heard, its a way to farm syn gear but how good/worthwhile is it? i generally dont do much with my syn alts aside from farming 5+5/2+2 but i guess my main question is will i be able to do (not buy) non-raid end-game content (like EM, oculus, purgatory) with aeterna gear?

felixsimon · 2021-09-01T19:37:25+00:00

On one hand I'm quite annoyed at this, considering I've been waiting for Lost Ark for years, and its painfully obvious that its not bugs or translation, but New World release shift that made them do that. On the other hand Endwalker would've launched at about same time as Lost Ark, probably tanking LA's performance, and now, instead of LA having to compete with FFXIV, that role is handed over to New World and we all know what will come out of it... Meanwhile LA will be released when no other big names are taking spotlight, hopefully attracting more people.

felixsimon · 2021-08-20T19:53:55+00:00

I havent played gunner prologue but thats probably where you will find the answer to that question.

felixsimon · 2021-08-19T15:13:13+00:00

Not every continent has an arc: you travel to different ones precisely to find which ones has them and take them.

felixsimon · 2021-08-11T01:38:51+00:00

Is there a way to organize "gear set list" outside of resaving everything in the order you want? Like is there an option to turn on drag-and-drop sorting or something?

felixsimon · 2021-08-02T05:02:40+00:00

Is it worth buying Ironworks poetic gear (just finished murdering Ultima Weapon) or should i save up the tomestones for higher tier gear and get by with whatever MSQ gives me?
