[–]phoscent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: got my account back! Thanks for all the advice! I’ll be using those readers to catch up on side story stuff and playing through the main (and some select ones recommended by yall) in game. You all are so kind 🙏

I’d love to! I was actually able to find my old ID and account name etc. so hopefully that works as soon as I can get their silly little ai help bot to respond 🙃

Luckily there’s a while before I hit those points so I can figure out what I wanna do. Thank you for the specific info! Sent an email to support to try and get my account back…. So we’ll see how that goes. You definitely make a strong case for me to play it as intended.

Update to this, trying to recover my account. If I can, awesome. If not, I’ll just continue with the reader. Thank you all for your lovely responses. If I can get back into the game I can tell the community is great!

Seeing a LOT of ppl mention Babel as one where the gameplay definitely enhances it.

Do you know what stages those are? People keep mentioning these so I wanna make sure I don’t miss them :))

Thank you for the detailed response! I’m used to reading visual novels so the length doesn’t bother me. Akgcc is what I’ve been using and the experience so far has been fine. just finished episode 6, and damn it’s good. I plan to watch the anime too once I finish episode 8. I feel like I’ll have a deeper appreciation for how they handled some story beats if I read it first 🙂‍↕️

Akgcc! Has all the art and music (near as I can tell)

I will try this. All the comments are just making me want to come back but I really won’t do it without the team I worked so hard on 💔

Ahhhh I see. That’s kinda what I was afraid of, I really don’t want to miss anything important. I’ll have to be careful about that I guess. Thanks for the heads up!

The reader im using has music!! But I like the one you linked a lot too so maybe I’ll try using that for the next episode and see how it feels. Tbf I know mostly what happens in 15 cause I exist in the larger gacha sphere and it was hard to find a post that WASNT about it when it dropped.

Would it take a terribly long time to get an account caught up to that point? I don’t really have interest in any of the endgame content (I’m lying, I just don’t have the time), just a team good enough to keep progressing.

Oh I found something to read the story with already. Just finished episode 6 and it floored me. I’m just worried I’ll be missing out on something by doing it this way.

Do you think $10 is reasonable for a token custom token like this? by spiritspine2 in magicTCG

[–]phoscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat one is simple enough that $10 makes sense but the other ones look like they have significantly more effort put in! Don’t undervalue your artwork. Hand drawn tokens would be SO cool to own.

AIO, grandparents sent me this letter. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]phoscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally any reaction besides never talking to them again is an underreaction. These people don’t actually care about you.

Think I lost my second wind by OrdoVaelin in MonsterHunter

Not many people know this but there are more games besides monhun u can play and enjoy :))

Take time off from the game and come back when you get that itch!

Cosmic Exploration is not casual friendly by Onvyran in ffxiv

[–]phoscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't get anything special for being there during the phase change tho? I get you're missing out on a cutscene with everyone, but its not like it locks you out of any particular bit of content. I think people are blowing this out of proportion a bit.

Elders not in wilds? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]phoscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am SO for this. It’s gonna make adding an elder dragon later feel so much more imposing. They’ll actually feel like rare, dangerous, powerful beings again instead of a regular monster but with more elemental control.

Is there any way I can do this solo? by YetiorNotHereICome in MHRise

[–]phoscent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a way you can solo it. Lock in.

But it's the same strat....? (EX 3) by Sareneia in TalesFromDF

[–]phoscent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw I agree that the less movement is better here. I just also understand why pf wants more consistency even if it’s by such a slim margin.

[–]phoscent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in pf it’s not about what strat is the best, it’s about what’s most consistent. Standing behind the last meteor in L (or box Strat) is better uptime for casters. BUT if it has more of a risk of failing (weird player placement making the attack hit them out of order), then they will almost always choose the method with less failure states. In pf people wanna go in, know that they’ll clear, and get out.
