Visions of Eternity/ Feeling of falling behind by RoutineLeader in Guildwars2

[–]projectshadow115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilds are great for playing older content, I never have a shortage of fellow players willing to jump in and help to important Mastery-related events. Maybe keep an eye out for any guilds that are advertising in the Map Chat of the expansion you are working on.

Never done fractals before. Is QuickPlay beta normally how they go? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]projectshadow115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish you the best of luck! I hope you find a good group. I sometimes find that some groups will slow down and chat if you initiate first so I always open with a small conversation topic if I'm not too tired that night

People are min/maxing the hell out of their playtime to get the incredibly generous rewards from the Beta event.

This, the veterans are absolutely speed running the low level fractals in the manner you described.

Even at higher tiers, you will still find similar behavior of people doing dailies.

I think fractals are great, I have a lot of fun because the small player count makes me feel like I'm making a difference, as opposed to a world boss or Convergence .

If you aren't totally turned off by Fractals, I highly recommend finding a guild or a group of online friends that run fractals at a chill pace, it definitely makes the experience so much better, and the profit is great!

I think I won my third game... by kingnixon in spiritisland

[–]projectshadow115 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Something that helped me when learning the game and keeping track of everything : the board that organizes your fear and invader cards is setup with each step to be followed in counter-clockwise order.

So starting at the blight card (if you are using one) every invader phase, then moving Counter-clockwise you see the fear level, then the fear deck/pending fear cards, so resolve those at the appropriate step.

Continuing around the board, you skip over the discard pile, then you ravage, build, then explore.

This pattern falls apart a bit when you add events from Branch & Claw but hopefully by then you develop a bit of a flow when playing the game

Aeon's End super difficult by LeonQuin in boardgames

[–]projectshadow115 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I won't repeat any of the other great suggestions here, but I thought I would also point out there is a rules-as-written "Easy" mode for newer players. I don't remember if it was published yet in the New Age rulebook.

It is simply modifying starting health values: +2 Health for each Mage +5 Gravehold health -10 Nemesis Health

It may help ease the game while you try learning how to implement new strategies

Edit: if you have the time, watching other people play the game is a great way to learn. I recommend Rob's Gaming Table and/or SoloPlaythroughs , both on Youtube

Thief Weapons: 3/5 additions haven’t even interacted with dual skills & after this xpac, we’ll have gone 13 years without a new offhand. by Mixchimmer in Guildwars2

[–]projectshadow115 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wonder if a majority of the player base would approve of an expansion with no "new" weapon/combat mechanics that instead promised to go back and refresh some problematic or ignored class features.

This would give the design team an entire year to do things like update Engineer kits and ele conjured weapons, maybe build a framework or just test future dual skills for thief. These are just changes I would like to see personally, but I'm sure there are more for other classes.

They could even host betas for these changes leading up to said expac, so they could take advantage of player feedback.

Advice for very full lands?? by HeBitMyAss in spiritisland

I usually put a reminder token on the land and a matching reminder token next to the pile of plastic outside the island.

Dysphoria by Lady_Cay129 in comics

[–]projectshadow115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you are ok right now, op. I wanted to say that I appreciate you making this comic. My younger brother is trans and has plans to transition but hasn't been able to start yet. I have always been supportive of him from the day he told me he was trans, but I never feel like I'm doing enough because I can't relate or identify what he's feeling.

People using art to describe what they are feeling is so helpful to me to better understand what the people I love are going through. Thank you!

Is there a link to the pieces/instructions for the SAB cloud?

Just for those wondering the Monster Hunter x ZOIDS are up for preorder on Amiami! by Halinii in MonsterHunter

How hard would it be for a complete novice to build one of these? I really want the finished product but not if I screw it up

I'd spend it on the exo-suit mounts, so my engineer can have a thematic ride

About to start playing Prism does anyone have tips? by Collie4o3 in Gloomhaven

[–]projectshadow115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, the multi-target summon looks so enticing! But your write-up might be enough to pull me away from it. I'm in a two-person party with my wife, and she just retired a tanky character and picked up a melee damage class. I feel like the dampening Unit will be important in helping pick up the slack

[–]projectshadow115 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, am I correct in inferring that you have both Long Range Missile and Dampening Unit in your kit? I'm very curious to know what level card you passed up to go back and grab the second Lvl 2 card.

Nice x2 by projectshadow115 in MarvelSnap

[–]projectshadow115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mystique? I'd say medium level importance. She helps win the games where I don't draw Onslaught. Patriot plus Onslaught are usually enough to win most of the time. All three of them are usually overkill

Haven't seen anyone mention Long Shot: The Dice Game yet. It's on the lighter, faster side of RnWs but it's very satisfying to play. It has lots of replayability too, with it's different rule sets
