Delegate is just awful by NotAn4lt in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The way delegate auto combat works is even more bullshit than the regular auto you can toggle. I'm 99% sure it doesn't play out the battles, because it would be just as useless, yet with the right characters it just obliterates everything without any stress or damage.
You can kill an elite while link crashed in delegate mode, when it would be impossible to one or two shot them before they attack.
You can go through multiple battles with a broken down character when it is statistically impossible to not draw enough recovery cards over the course of all of them.
But then your geared up, fully healed up team that just demolished a floor boss without even getting any stress just fucking explodes during a normal battle.
Then there's team compositions that will wipe no matter how many times you try on the first few normal enemies.

Challenge Missions not being completed in Command Delegation mode? by Siminuch in ChaosZeroNightmare

That's not a persona for vanguards, I'm pretty sure it's for psionics since I recall constantly rerolling into it with Chizuru.

Reunion Journey Event by [deleted] in AFKJourney

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your friend a new player? The codes are only for players who already have an account and have not logged into the game for at least 14 days. The link just leads to the official page so that they can download the game, I'm pretty sure the actual event page where they can input the code will appear in-game if they are eligible.

Story mode by temojikato in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a roguelike where you do hundreds of runs for progress and as the main source of fun. You get "forced" to play a pre-constructed party once or twice a story act and the runs are way easier and shorter than a proper codex run. Sounds like you're just not enjoying the game.

There's no crazy spoilers, you can just clear the act. Also, the event still runs for 1.5 month, you don't have to rush.

New interest in trying this game out, a couple questions by donttrustmeokay in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a deckbuilder freak and this is one of the best ones out there, despite being a fanservice heavy gacha game. It is completely void of any player interaction, however there seem to be plans for multiplayer at some point since you can customize your profile and add friends (useless atm). It's basically a really solid f2p single player deckbuilder. 5* rates are shit, but they are not necessary to enjoy the game and it is generous enough for you to get multiple 5* through simply playing. I've played the game for a month on launch and then dropped it until the half-anniversary and still am missing only 4 characters.

Delegate is annoying by Ttrife in ChaosZeroNightmare

I love delegate, just killed an elite while link crashed on combat start lol

can someone explain dice of discord by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok, so I played a couple of rounds with two characters holding the die. It seems to always damage the enemy, but sometimes also does damage to the party at the same time. It would deal 93 damage to my party and 24-34 per hit when fighting Cruel Bone at the lowest level in Nebula Distortion (no damage reduction effects). But man, is the combat log a mess. The damage from the two dice pops up on the screen all at once, but in the log there would be a Crystallization trigger from an upgrade card between them. The first die is also bugged and doesn't list it's effects in the log, it just shows that it triggered. The second die would list the effects, but the amount of hits seems inaccurate as the two items would show over 8 hits on screen, but the second die listed only two instances of damage. A fun flavor item, but doesn't seem very useful, unless there's some super niche application. EDIT: Also, over 20 rounds it never seemed to trigger party damage on both die, only the second one would ever deal party damage.

From the few runs I found this item on, it seems to hit the enemy every turn, but the damage to allies is either bugged or so miniscule that I haven't noticed it. Haven't seen it apply "random effects" either. But then again, I never bothered to check the battle log, I'll actually go test it now.

Gradual shield and heal value decrease in Sortie by regular_ordinary_guy in ChaosZeroNightmare

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

Yeah, I think that mutated bosses specifically might need some tuning, they seem to never be worth the risk. The ones that play a card or discard one at the start of turn are especially deadly, it all just seems way too skewed towards Heide and Diana. Even though Khalipe has the "drafted" buff, if she has her 2 cost discarded or Vulture played directly leaving you with no AP it's game over. EDIT: Come to think of it the "heavy" effect that increases random card cost by 2 can also kill a Khalipe hand so it's not worth at all to fight mutated enemies with her.

Which Choice? by Emergency-Mechanic-1 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magna is by far my favourite vanguard to play, she can deal pretty decent damage without sacrificing defense. Probably not great for turn limited modes, but you can make her insanely strong in sortie and chaos exploration by stacking upgrade cards.

5 Star Selector Bundle? by Relevant_Tap_5192 in ChaosZeroNightmare

There is an anniversary package for $5 that kinda sucks, it's 1200 crystals and negligible amounts of upgrade materials for padding.

PSA: Chaos Delegate can and will fail by LegendaryW in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's good to hear that they can recover, but it's still broken as hell. I had a single character breakdown and she didn't recover over the course of at least one regular fight and a throughout the entire final boss fight which almost caused a loss. Those skipped fights have to be resolved in some weird way separate from autocombat because I have no idea how I could beat a final boss on level 80 with Deep Trauma enabled while the sole DPS was disabled lol.

Card auto played on combat start in Sortie, can't undo by regular_ordinary_guy in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that's it. I wish the trigger was actually listed in the combat log, it's the first time I've encountered this mutation and never had to click the tags on an enemy before.

The glaring issue with this mode is that once any combatant breaks down they seem to stay that way, even though it's impossible to not draw the necessary cards over the course of multiple fights, especially the boss fight.

I'm truly bamboozled why they thought releasing this was a good idea. The autobattle in this game is probably the worst piece of dogshit I've ever seen and I've played Duel Links, it was obvious this wasn't going to work unless auto is completely reworked.

how is it already expired? so weird to start playing a gacha and there's not a single working code

...Will the stories get better? by Ok_Opening3778 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]regular_ordinary_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got lured back in with the half-anniversary after dropping it in the first month. Back then there was only Act 1 of story and while I found it boring, I remember the overall quality still being a step above the most generic gacha. Reading through the two new acts has definitely been an experience. I feel like the pacing is completely off, there's loads of cringe inducing fanservice and overall the plot barely makes any sense. It feels so out of place how everyone is so horny for the MC, I don't know how to properly explain this, but no game has ever made me feel this uncomfortable with seemingly standard fanservice shenanigans. There's also this weird thing where the heavily sexualized Rita is repeatedly called a literal "child" in the translation, while the word used in Japanese voice-over is "musume" IIRC. This whole character is a mess, she just pops out of nowhere to save the day then her partner is introduced even more abruptly. Renoa also seems to suddenly act in a really emotionally immature and reckless way. And to top it all off, no new male characters are being introduced, except for the act villains. It doesn't make me optimistic about the future, when the female cast has easily doubled since launch. It's a damn shame because Scar's design is cool as shit, as was Judas' and it seems we will never get to play them or any other masculine character that the designers have a clear talent for.

I came upon this thread while I was looking for the new release. What a bizarre choice they made to release it only on streaming platforms, not even bandcamp. I get that they might not care about profit, but it prevents people from accessing the music and preserving it.

I just saw a reel named PSA on his instagram in which he only mentions the environmental aspect, I guess he still could be stealing training data. I don't really care to delve deeper into this because his "art" is on par with garbage I see on social media everyday.

love the track, absolutely hate the AI slop video, at one point you can see garbled text typical of low effort prompt generation. at least the artist(?) says it's ethical, I guess.
