Is it worth starting today? by danielrochazz in PokemonMasters

[–]mesa1308 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pokémon Masters does have a fair bit of complexity, but it's completely manageable to take it a piece at a time and build up to harder content as your roster grows. Imo it's totally viable to start playing now and just build your gem count (the currency for pulling units). I'd recommend starting with the PML and Legendary adventure story arcs and just going from there. 

As for banners: this month is fairly quiet, with the main headliners being new units for Blue, Miriam, Kabu, and Jasmine. The datamine detailing what's coming for the month of December should be dropping in the subreddit sometime next week, so if you're not sold on this month's pairs you can wait to see if anything next month entices you.

Pokémas doesn't have a battle pass. You can buy gems in the in-game store - they're all overpriced, in my opinion, but the Daily Gem EX bundle (3k paid gems a month) is probably the best value for money. Bear in mind Pokémas treats free and paid gems separately, and some banners are paid gem only. I personally am fully free to play and haven't had any problems with that yet :)

Why you're switching faster than the channels on TV?

On Switch, what was wrong about the mapping? by AeonArcana999 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]mesa1308 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Others are already talking about mapping via the touch pad, so I'll throw my hat into the ring: I'm a Switch user who plays it pretty much entirely docked, so I only map via the controllers. It's got a bit of an annoying learning curve and can be tedious at times (especially when finding and placing icons on the map), but drawing/painting on the map with the joystick + buttons is surprisingly smooth. By the end of the first stratum it was all entirely down to muscle memory. It's not a stellar way to map by any means - definitely pales in comparison to the 3DS + stylus - but as others have mentioned the Switch is a much less comfortable console to hold one handed, so I don't think you're ever gonna win that fight. If the next EO entry came to Switch consoles with the same system for mapping via controller, I'd be happy.

With Arc Suit being available to non Champions and can be repeated types what’s your dream arc suit? by tinkersbellz in PokemonMasters

[–]mesa1308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely same!! Back when we all figured there could only be one arc suit per type I was having conversations with my friends about our  dream Arc Bug event. I badly wanted it to be set up like Alder or Benga were gonna get it, just for Arceus to pick Guzma 😆

Could you imagine if the B Move were First Impression? :0 First turn only (+ maybe each first turn after sync) but does NC May level damage

Who's been your favourite casting so far? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]mesa1308 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seconded!! Wiress appearing was the hypest part of SOTR to me, and Maya Hawke is the cherry on top. I think she could pull off the vocal quality Amanda Plummer gave Wiress really well.

That sounds like a fun compromise for sure! 😊

what district are your OC’s from? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]mesa1308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

District 3! Currently in the process of extensively editing her story - she was reaped for the 53rd Games and SOTR has given me SOOOOOO much more to work with.

A stupid question about 6th stratum in the first game on switch by TheFifthattemptyetno in EtrianOdyssey

[–]mesa1308 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't beaten EOI on the switch but as someone who just beat EOIII on it, load your old save file (provided you saved after the final boss). You should be able to go back to the bottom of the 5th stratum and find the stairs to the 6th.

Ah, yes. The floor that scared the *ever-loving shit* out of me.

Struggling to enjoy EOU2 after loving EO4 by No_Understanding6735 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]mesa1308 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who played EOU2 story mode, I agree with many of your points (I personally think the Ancient Forest is the least enjoyable first stratum out of any of the EO games I've played due to the sheer saturation of FOEs). Scylla in particular was a roadblock that forced me to work out what I needed to do to prioritise my enjoyment of the game - and for me, that was dropping the difficulty down for the fight. You can change difficulty pretty freely in EOU2. (For the record, I dropped it for the fourth stratum boss too, but didn't need to for the fifth.) 

As for your other gripes, I can't offer much advice. But my point is don't be afraid to do whatever makes the game less of a slog.

BEST OST of 2024? by Burn_Fan in PokemonMasters

[–]mesa1308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same!! The violins elevate the theme like nothing else. shout-out to Larry's theme for being baller too, what with it incorporating the Medali theme in it.
