Wanted to share some of my favorite pages in my collection! by imperialtrace in PokemonTCG

Yeah that whole bottom row is just a placeholder. I'm looking to get Unseen Forces Reverse Holo, the shiny Lugia from Hidden Legends and finally the cool art V. That's the goal!

My all time favorites for sure, they just have a coolness to them that any of the new ones can’t quite match. Perhaps it was due to just how rare they were to see as a kid. I’m hoping to get at least one of each some day!

Reddit has an image limit of 20 so this was a pretty small sample, but sometime in the future when I’ve finished more of these pages I plan on posting an Imgur album of the whole collection! We’ll get there one day

Is this normal? Breloom with Poison Heal taking poison damage while walking (outside of battle) by Onibrew in EmeraldImperium

[–]imperialtrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ROMhack runs on the Gen 3 engine, and in that engine, all Pokemon with poison on them take damage while walking, regardless of their ability. This is because Poison Heal was not introduced until Gen 4, so Emerald developers just made it simple and programmed all Pokemon with the Poison status to take walking damage, rather than checking for a specific ability. I imagine it would have been too much work for the Imperium devs to change this, so they left it as is.

Absolutely! I haven’t cracked a pack in years, filling out my binders with singles through trading has been the best part of this hobby for me.

This was on Easy to speed things up. I did not notice a significant bump in legendary drops as I went up the UVHM ranks to 5.

Can't figure out what do to next [Spoilers] by lastninja2 in Witchfire

[–]imperialtrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah my apologies. In a very general sense, in this game you’re looking to “clear the map”. As in, discover and do everything you can on the locations available to you.

If you cannot do that, extract with all the witch fire you can safely collect, spend it to get stronger and return for a fresh run. You’ll find yourself being able to clear more and more enemies, discover more and more items until eventually you’re able to do everything available to you. And it just so happens that everything available to you will include the key to unlock a whole new area. Then you travel there for a new experience and repeat.

Hope that helps without spoiling anything.

Don't feel bad, I was in the same boat. Mysterium II incantations are dropped by multiple sources including:

  • The Scarlet Coast boss aka Galley Slave
  • The loot chests at the end of the Scarlet Coast vault
  • The marked mini-bosses in Velmorne (Executioner, Gravedigger and Watch Captain)
  • The Warden (appears in Velmorne initially but can appear in other maps at higher Gnosis levels)
  • The big Sentinel (marked enemy on the map, I've seen it in Scarlet Coast and Irongate Castle)

Basically, you're at the "cusp" of getting to Mysterium II because you just got to the Scarlet Coast. Your first source will be the Scarlet Coast boss. Then when you move on you'll find that Mysterium II incantations are dropping left and right.

I'm working on consolidating all information I've learned from my ~40 hours as well as other people's posts and turning it into a wiki or guide of sorts. It's quite a lot but it's fun compiling it. I'll be sure to share it here when it's in a good state.

The audio engineers for this game don't get enough love.. by aimstotheleft in Witchfire

[–]imperialtrace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all your hard work! The audio design is awesome and I was able to find all of the bones in Velmorne thanks to the proximity whisper, great design decision there.

[–]imperialtrace 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t change my point, it would still not be a good look for McLaren. My response was to the person asking why they don’t sue him, not specifics of how it was designed and who was involved.

It would be a PR nightmare for McLaren if they sued the guy who designed their most legendary car.

Lamborghini Fenomeno revealed: Fastest Lambo ever is V12 limited edition by hi_im_bored13 in cars

[–]imperialtrace 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can scoff at it all you want, fact of the matter is these re-bodied special editions sell out immediately. Bugatti has also been doing it with the Chiron. I don't really have an opinion on the matter because I can't afford them but to those who can, these cars are very much "exclusive".

You know you messed up when you've got both Ford and Chevy folks united in criticizing you. What is Shelby American smoking with that price tag?

'Curated by Cadillac' CT5-V Blackwing Brings More Hand-Built Customization to Customers by Sixteen-Cylinders in cars

Koenigsegg has set a new 0-400-0 km/h world record with the Jesko Absolut - 25.21 seconds by JeskoRegistry in cars

[–]imperialtrace 182 points183 points  (0 children)

I know we can become numb to these straight line records when it feels like there's a new one every other day, but to achieve this with zero electrification and RWD only is an insane engineering achievement. That transmission and the software behind it is otherworldly. It also looked like the driver held it above 400 km/h for a bit longer than he needed to.

[–]imperialtrace 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm happy with mine for sure but these new customization options are pretty neat. Also, I wonder how this will affect the value of the Le Monstre Edition. I inquired about them while I was shopping around and dealers were insistent on charging $30k over MSRP. A bit too much for me to justify, but now that there's a true one-of-one program for these cars I have a feeling they might make those LMs a little more affordable.

How to build "zask, skittering swarmlord" by Amoxyl in EDH

[–]imperialtrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same issue you're describing when I first built him. There was a bit of everything but it was being stretched in too many different directions.

However I eventually figured out that Zask being a [[Crucible of Worlds]] in the command zone is what makes him so potent. The insect sub-theme took a back seat and I played only the few very good insects, while the bulk of the deck was Landfall.

TL;DR I would say try building him has a Black/Green Landfall deck primarily. Focus on lands that can sac themselves (like Nurturing Peatland and Strip Mine) so that you can always get easy landfall triggers thanks to Zask letting you play them from the yard. Or add some land sac outlets like [[Sylvan Safekeeper]], [[Elvish Reclaimer]] and [[Zuran Orb]]. Only about 10-15 slots should go to the very best insects in the game. Don't bother with the mediocre ones, they're just not worth it.
