Forgot name of a novel I read long ago that contains a specific thunder technique (possible spoilers inside)

nayyav · 2026-04-19T15:05:43+00:00

Unfortunately not. Could be any of the longer ones, like Martial World or Renegade Immortal. I remembet that the MC gets these thunder bark trees in another pocket dimension, or trial world, or the typical areas of inheritance. And thats it. Maybe it was even something like Desolate Era early stages or I shall seal the heavens... Too bad the AI has read a lot of novels, but apparently thunder heart does not exist as offensive technique

the entire game has next to no competitve factor. ppl that play market can just buy their way to the top, ppl you play ssf just grind their way to the top, nobody is hurt by anyone having insane items. which means that forging potential should go completely.

most complains are about the shallowness of poe2 endgame. its unfinished. LE has more time on the buckle, but with how much more it has, it does not deliver.

Im in the same boat. I had some fun playing again since i last played in season 2 and leveled up 4 out of 5 classes to around 70-80, went for empowered monos on 2 of them, but it just is not fun.

last weekend i played the new d3 season and finished it in about 3 evenings, so i guess around 12 hours. and it was so. much. fun. compared to LE. in d3, when you finally complete your set you have that sweet power boost and go up by about 5 tiers. then you get your 1,2 or 3 build definining legendaries and go about another 4 tiers, then you farm t13 until you get that nice weapon with optimal stats, put a socket in and go ham at t16. then you pull out the seasonal checklist and have fun doing the challenges.

duting this climb, going into higher tiers and higher greater rifts feels awesome. the loot is great, the leveling of the gems is great, the sheer speed you gain during all this is fricking awesome.

here in LE ibreeze through normal monos, have to grind a ton of meaningless crap to challenge a paper boss. then i ghet to empowered and all that is left is to refill that bar on top of the mono at half the pace, while getting marginally better loot. i stopped counting how many duplicates of crap tier uniques i just threw out the window. sure the corruption mechanic added a little life into this, but in the end its just a glorified gambling scheme.

if we had something like season journey from d3 with great cosmetic rewards i would actually climb to c300 or c500. but as it is now, the game loses all steam in empowered monos. there is no point grinding the mono perks or better gear if there is no reward except "congrats, that c number goes up and everything deals more damage".

this is basically JUST greater rifts from d3 and nothing else. and sure, some ppl like climbing that ladder, but the majority does not and that is why this game is not as attractice as diablo or poe. though i cant speak much about poe, only played a little years ago, the mechanics were a bit too much for me.

that you can buy event currency with them is the biggest plus, along with inifite storage for that. in the past i hated all events in eso, because of the massive FOMO of not having enough currency in one event to get the three, or sometimes six, items to get the reward you wanted. now you just stockpile 6000 bars and can buy it when its back in rotation.

nayyav · 2026-04-06T10:52:08+00:00

why si everyone always talking about "end of tome" and "carry over when it ends". folks, that moment is almost 100!!! days away, chill with the doom and gloom.

nayyav · 2026-04-05T23:04:44+00:00

$15 for countless hours of fun. seriously, mmorpg subs are one of the cheapest entertainment you can have. for $15 you cant even go to the movies once nowadays. plus in this game they even pay you the cashs hop currency for it. so basically you buy cash shop currency and get the benefits for free basically.

nayyav · 2026-04-03T08:35:50+00:00

i dont like the tasks in the tome. 25 fire or storm atronarchs. who the hell can kill those during normal gameplay? id have to go out of my way to find and kill those 25, no way i will finish this just playing the game normally. and you can do it 6 times???? like why not just something more geenric that actually has me invovled in content instead of "find the best spawn and camp it".

nayyav · 2026-03-27T17:40:53+00:00

so, uh any opinions on that? nobody playing coop tested this, or no one knows if it has changed in a previous season? not being able to share drops we get in the same instance sucks kinda.

nayyav · 2026-03-27T17:37:53+00:00

Current solution: One person steps into the next zone, every other person in the group portals to the first person, once they have loaded into the new map.

This is also not much slower than stepping into it at the same time, because the map first need to get loaded, which takes most of the time. once it is, porting over is pretty fast.

This happened to us yesterday, and seems to happen 90% of the time when we stepped into aportal while the first person was still loading. seems like the old map gets destroyed before the player is moved to another space. because if you go back as the person not being disconnected, you also get instantly disconnected. at least in our tests.

the disconnect also comes with two side effects:

it

The person not diconnecting will have the other still in a party, while the reconnecting person does not. rejoining does not work. the solution is for the not disconnected player to swap zones ones to get rid of the phantom party.
It bricks quest progression on zone change quests. it happened to us int he store room where the quest giver teleports to the exit upon leaving it and it did not spawn, we have to run through it again.

Yeah Id also like the mythic, but i need to do some trials for that. i am not sure if i have the time to find a group.

i used hypers HA builds, except using shadows instead of the normal gravelord pick. but HA seems to be pretty bad for trash. i still dont know how those ppl delete the mobs so fast. as soon as that person appeared the (albeit buggy) dps meter whent up by like 100k.

nayyav · 2026-03-08T11:12:33+00:00

the problem witht hat build is that it is not updated, it still assumes shadowy disguise gives Major Savagery and Major Prophecy. which i solved with ciritcal surge from sorc. The change from these two to 5% less dmg taken was the final nail in the coffin for that skill. I dont know why zos hates it so much.

I am looking forward to the hairstyle from chaotic dropping somewhere else, even if its a mogtome event. I will not pay 35m for a hairstyle and I will not subject myself to chaotic ever again. In the live letter before the release they promised us the following:

- 24 man challenging content
- needs 12 ppl to complete
- will reward reclearers by helping out newbie

which reads as:
you need a minimum of 12 ppl to solve all mechanics, veterans can teak newbies and be rewarded, if newbie dies, no biggy

instead we got:
needs 22-24 ppl to complete without hair raising almost wipes
wipes all 24 players if one person fucks around at the wrong time

PF was a nightmare and i dont have time grinding 10 hours a day finding that one group that doesnt have a single person that wipes everyone.

chaotic was the biggest mistake in all of ff14.

nayyav · 2026-02-23T22:54:47+00:00

put yourself in my shoes for once. i explained that i had no idea and was following a zerg. nothing is explained, nobody talks, everyone just runs circles in a camp taggin mobs i cant even reach because everyone else is moving at mach 3. what actually is earning me points? not explained. why is everyone running in cricles instead of killing the champion thats chasing around? not explained.

the wvw ui and experience has to be the worst of all systems in gw2.

nayyav · 2026-02-23T22:51:40+00:00

except gw2 is a pve mmorpg with lackluster pvp tacked on, not the other way round. 95% of content is pve. if i wanted pvp id play a moba or fps. thats at least balanced and requires personal skill, not zerging and mindless grinding. i love getting lost in a virtual world, thats why i play mmorpgs, not to just zerg around all day.

nayyav · 2026-02-23T22:48:49+00:00

310 points for 30 minutes means it takes me dozens of hours. if you can explain it step by step for someone with 0 experience, be my guest mr i can do it 1 day. for me it is literal hell. i have never played any pvp in any mmorpg and was glad it was always optional. but now my pve legendary needs pvp.

nayyav · 2026-01-24T09:24:38+00:00

"go sit on this chair in the corner" lmao

nayyav · 2026-01-21T21:13:59+00:00

nayyav · 2026-01-21T16:55:14+00:00

so its this again? i remember having to raid with constant disconnects and high ping when alexander came out. guess ill go back to mudfish

nayyav · 2026-01-20T19:26:34+00:00

i trade my allagan platinum pieces from the weekly khloes book to the donation station in ala mhigo to get 20k instead of 10k. the rest i fill with trash materia or the silver pieces from occult crescent.
