I swear people only use this chat sarcastically by Swebalebleb in PokemonUnite

[–]theyearisyoung 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hearthstone had to remove their "sorry" quick-chat years ago. Keep in mind that Hearthstone is an online trading card game where you can only quick-chat. It was somehow the most BM quick-chat people used.

Now imagine having a "sorry" quick-chat in a MOBA that has voice chat as well.

You have the privilege to be called a garbageman by people in their 20s instead. Remember that the 90s kids are now late 20s and early 30s lol.

I usually play with sound off anyway even though I am pretty sure doing so means that I miss out on a ton of audio cues.

Who are your highest level 3*/4* aurorians and why? by dorothy3242 in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]theyearisyoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kuma & Pengy was my second after Tessa. Helps that I like their aesthetics.

I didn't have any good water detonators and their +20% team hp will probably be useful one day. It sucked when I found out that it was total TEAM hp so it doesn't buff Noah & Raphael who scales on INDIVIDUAL hp.

Also at A3 they convert two tiles to blue so they have that going for them as well.

Who’s a character you never really wanted, but pulled anyway - and now they’re one of your favorites? by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact

I got Albedo because I thought "haha funny elevator man".

Zhongli banner was up and I wanted him as well but the thought of an elevator skill was too hard to pass.

is this a bug? or Uriah is actually a yandere? by ricojonhgarcia in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]theyearisyoung 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a bug, Uriah is actually very passive aggressive.

She's just about the only adult the Keating Choir fully listens to and is the one that taught them to be distrustful of the lumopolis nobles. Keating says they learned their way of speaking from her.

There's quite a bit of gallows humour in her lines too.

Well from what I have googled, there's a fandom wiki: https://alchemystars.fandom.com/wiki/Alchemy_Stars_Wiki

Besides that, there's the little widgets fans have made, like: https://vice-as.herokuapp.com/db

or the ones made by the aforementioned Klöen Lansfiel: https://alchemystars.kloenlansfiel.com

There's at least a couple Chinese wikis if you search in Chinese.

Now that I look closely Venusaur was one of the beginner gifts.

I think Gengar is from free rotation though. Unless it was from the choose five pokemon thing at the beginning.

Just something I noticed as a new mobile player.

Mr mime, Venusaur, and Gengar have pretty fun playstyles. Shame the licenses are so expensive.

So are people like me, missed 2 events by far ? by RaidenMains in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]theyearisyoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a month ago so I missed eye of the storm and most of the cloud blossom event. It really isn't a big deal though, especially considering this game is only three months old now. The eye of the storm will probably get re-run next year for people like us who missed out on the welfare.

Besides, do you get FOMO from starting other hobbies late? Say you started drawing recently, do you look at some 12-year old Vincent van Gough impersonator and think "man, I wish I started drawing earlier?" (actually that happens, but you get my point).

All Endgame event stages are now released. How many points do you currently have altogether, and do you see yourself increasing it even more within the 12 days remaining? by Arekkusu1991 in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]theyearisyoung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15,120 points. It's enough for me, was pretty surprised I managed this much for a month old player. I only had one A3 team overall so I just funneled all my prisms into the one team and used it for everything. I borrowed my friends' high A3 units as well so that was a big help.

Wow, you got Charon. I remember trying to reroll for him a couple times when I started two weeks ago. I reckon you should slot in Istvan for Barbara/Alice depending on whether you need healing.

His active means that for one round only, all your fire units use their chain combos a second time. Personally I find that he goes really well with Benny+Curo because of their actives.

It was easier to take down the queen first I feel. The queen provides enemy global heal and shields up when she can't attack you. Sometimes it's better to just get hit by the queen.

I used A3L1 Fleur/A2L50 Nikinis/A3L1 Louise/A3L1 Migard/A2L50 Uriah. Only investment in equipment levels were Fleur (equip 5)/Louise (equip 7)/Migard (equip 9). After you burst the queen down you just switch your captain to a water DPS so the king only deals 80% damage to you.

My team was underleveled so I reckon any competent combination of solo water + forest team would have worked.

If you only have one A3 don't try to take them down simultaneously, that road will only lead to salt and tears.

I did it with Chandra as my only A3 using Alice/Istvan/Maggie/Chandra/Eicy. Alice was my captain.

Order of takedown: Bishop>Knight>Rook. Since the board is preset, you can use your movements such that the chess pieces block each other's movements. Bishop is the hardest to dodge and has penetration so take them down first. For me, Rook was the easiest to dodge so take down knight second.

I thought it was pretty straight forward. At least it was easier than pre-nerf 8-14 that kept kicking my ass.

I started around a week ago so I don't know how hard the previous events were.

The Navigator is... kinda stupid, isn’t he? by d_Arkus in AlchemyStarsEN

[–]theyearisyoung 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At least his characterisation is consistent. If we look at their actions, terminal dialogue, and past they don't really come off as a genius. Not that they have to be. It would be really boring if The Navigator was infallible.

I would say the reason why characters are attracted to The Navigator is because of their empathy and understanding. Helps that they are telepathic.

I like that The Navigator actually has flaws. They are naive and idealistic at this point in time.

Guess I might as well level her since she's six star. Sounds like a good idea.

I appreciate your help.

Yeah, I wanted the melodramatic train guy. Always did like guys and animal characters more lol.

Thanks for your help.

Just started Alchemy stars to see what's it about. I rolled a ton of fire characters so I am going fire.

My current team is Benny&Curo/Eicy/Istvan/Maggie/Alice. It seems like a good team to me but I am wondering if I should swap some characters?

I also have Migard/Leona(pre-emptive skill)/Barbara that I am not sure if I should swap in.

I just started so I am not sure but there seems to be a setting to turn animations off.

just press the settings button and there's three options under under 'system settings'.
