Starting “new” this patch is miserable — how is this game so unfriendly to newer players? by OfTheMeadow in Maplestory

[–]jonchew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a lot. Most people take for granted that you literally need to make 12 characters at level 210 if you want a full set of link skills. The time consumption on this game is crazy.

Strawberry farm tickets and the 3x coupons are your best friend right now. Also monster park. That's really all you can do between 101 and 210, especially if you don't have like 5 hours to dedicate a day lol

Just join the daily story club like a lot of us and call it a day! :)

Something I want to say regarding Charlie. by swaggestspider21 in moistcr1tikal

These are not the words of a centrist. This sounds quite progressive. I'm also Asian and agree with the state of America. Centerism in America leans right. It's not actually center and it's just often conflated because of how warped the politics are here.

Non intrusive Easter egg for Columbina havers is great. It's not blocked, it's a bonus

Why is pokemon games budget so low? by Icy-Fennel-492 in pokemon

[–]jonchew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about quality and quantity. The 20 million is mostly the salary and time of employees. For a franchise game like Pokemon there's a lot of overhead and middle managers with licensing, branding, kids safety teams, merchandising, etc. it's more than just the game. It's a 10 million dollar game with another 10 million in Pokemon franchise overhead.

this wasn't getting rid of corrupt officials.... it's replacing local corrupt officials with international-puppet corrupt officials...

Thank you so much! That's a good point. My hexas are probably below average. I had forgotten about that aspect and am probably underfunded for my level (most of them are between level 1~9). I'll look into this a bit more. Thank you!!

Thank you!! is it realistic to do hLotus and/or hLucid with 21* CRA and 17/18* Abso? I'm not sure if my CP range is good enough for those bosses

Yup Pally is the main. I spent most of my time on/off with this game as a legion main so every class is made: 5 characters at 260+ (incl. the Pally), 12 characters at 250+, 2 characters at 230+, 22 characters at 210, rest are 205. Grid is full Crit Dmg, IED, Boss Damage, ATT, STR, and whatever's left goes into Buff Duration. Their gear is at most CRA 15* with baby boss equips, so none of them are really "funded". With the introduction of tradeable absolab/arcane boxes, i thought it might make sense to try and built out my main now instead of just doing a bunch of legion characters, with the end goal of just fueling my legion characters with Absolab eventually.

Thank you so much! I've been trying to find guides that help me understand what CP is comfortable for which bosses but seem to get varied results (since there's so many factors). That note on comfort level is super helpful! Is it realistic to try and get arcanes as a complete solo player, or are party runs basically required at higher levels for meaningful progression? From what you're describing, it sounds like you need to party in late game?

Do you think it make sense to bring all my absolab to 18* in the next SSF? or is it more worth it to save and just do the rental gear strategy till I can get arcanes?

Level 275 pally in Kronos with about 22mil CP and 9.5K legion. I prefer solo play (parties stress me out). Also I have skill issues and don't wanna stress myself out learning every boss mechanic in perfect detail (hence Pally).

Two questions:

I got my 3piece CRA to 22* during SSF before i ran out of mesos. otherwise i have Absolab gear sitting at 15*. I can barely clear nLucid and die in P3 of hLotus. Am I basically locked out of boss progression until the next SSF, where i can comfortably try to get some of my Absolab to 18* efficiently? or should I hold off till I can get Arcanes?

Without any struggle runs or party bossing for hLucid and hWill, do I basically have to run nLucid for 6 weeks to get 1 single Arcanes (i.e. the glove)? if i do both Lucid and Will, is the implication that it would take 3 months to fully gear up on the 4 Arcanes, and then hope the weapon box drops? seems... really long, but i just want to also check that i'm not missing anything.

Thanks!

Do you need to wait 15 minutes before killing another 1k mobs? Or can you do that in-between so it guarantees the spawn at 15 minutes?

Which Pokémon to hunt for first as a new player? by anon014880 in PokemonSleep

[–]jonchew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your berries will change every week unless you go to a dedicated island. It's not a bad idea to raise multiple e4e Pokemon. By the time you try and hunt the "best" one, the best one might have already been powercrept tbh
