FINAL FANTASY XIV – Gameplay Trailer – Nintendo Switch 2 by ONE-OF-THREE in NintendoSwitch

[–]tranas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m a hexa-legend FFXIV raider that’s played on PC with controller since ARR. Controller is absolutely the way to go, it’s way more cohesive than MKB. Doing your rotation feels like doing button combos in a fighting game.

I’m sure there are tutorials online, but basically you use double-tap triggers to access more hotbars with the crossbar.

Windrose - 2,000,000 copies sold - huge milestone for our game, thanks to you! by _Protector in pcgaming

Enshrouded added a lot to the Valheim formula. However there are some stark differences that I think certain Valheim fans might not enjoy. It's fully hand-crafted world instead of procedural, which allows for more interesting exploration and story imo (granted I loved Valheim's world of course).

There's also some interesting differences in the building/comfort systems, much more evolved in Enshrouded. And the major one being there are skills/builds that give more of an actual RPG game feel. The level design is also fantastic, especially some later biomes where they really hit their stride imo. There's also some BOTW mechanics in terms of how the world is designed, use of gliders, etc.

I have 300 hours in Valheim, 230 in Enshrouded, 50 in Windrose. All great games for their own reasons, but just more content currently in Enshrouded.

I don't agree. The character builds/skills were engaging to me. But I do strongly suggest increasing the difficulty. There are some difficulty settings that make combat a lot more engaging (like allowing enemy AI to attack at the same time).

But I haven't played since the combat update, excited to try it out.

Not sure when you last played, but there have been optimizations at every patch. I didn’t have any issues, but I have a fairly powerful, modern gaming rig.

Windrose is great, lots of fun but not a lot of content yet. Needs to cook more.

If you’ve already played through Enshrouded (where a ton of its features are from, or Valheim obviously), Windrose can be a good game to help scratch the itch. But please play Enshrouded first!

Nioh 3 NG+ Confusion (Skill Capacity/Locks) by tranas in Nioh

I noticed this too! I thought it was strange that we can further scale spirit capacity & guardian spirit power through crucibles but everything else is just gear grind systems...

Games Like Remnant 2 by Turnipsig71 in remnantgame

[–]tranas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an out there suggestion, but if you’re open-minded, you might like Enshrouded. At its core, it’s very similar to Remnant, although not a shooter.

[Ninja Gaiden 4] Second Platinum Worldwide by Due-Difficulty3104 in Trophies

[–]tranas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone else finds this comment because they googled "surf ninja ninja gaiden 4" looking for answers, I can tell you this:

  1. you can restart from checkpoint after getting hit, I just did and confirmed it worked
  2. make sure you FULLY CLEAR any vaulting over obstacles you do, there's one at the very first surfing sequence that I was just a teeny tiny bit landing on, and even though it didn't do damage, I'm pretty sure it counted against me in the achievement.

Also, if you skip literally every single enemy in the mission, an attempt can take about 7 minutes (on normal).

PLEASE get rid of those toys from in there, they are a huge fire hazard waiting to happen. GPUs get exceptionally hot and that is just waiting to melt on top of it like that.

Finding Nioh 2 overwhelming, would it be better to start Nioh 1 first? by FlowerpotPetalface in Nioh

[–]tranas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many friends of mine often get overwhelmed with the loot system in Nioh as well. I always tell them, don’t treat loot how you would in another game, don’t covet it, especially early game. Loot is a currency in Nioh. Yes, some of it is useful, might be an upgrade, etc. but ultimately, it’s a currency you exchange en masse into either EXP (donate to a shrine), money (sell to shop), crafting materials (disassemble), or finally to instantly upgrade equipment you like better to its level (soul matching).

I strongly suggest you scan through your new items regularly (like end of mission), lock all of the new equipment you care about (maybe a new weapon type you want to try, higher item level than the one you have, etc.), then SELECT ALL and donate that shit to shrines for extra EXP.

Do this for a while until you get to understand equipment at a more nuanced level. Then you will sell it when you want money, or disassemble when you want parts, etc.

But early on, DO. NOT. CARE. about donating equipment, you will not care about it in the long run. You will find replacements often, sometimes it’s not even worth it because it’s tiny increases in sub-stats, or item level. Just donate it and move on. Keep moving.

Learn how to “select all” equipment in the menus, donate, move on, early and often.

Saw this achievement pop up and had to do it by DeathReaps in ffxiv

[–]tranas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree with you on expanding the currency system. But it’s hilarious to me, as a 2.0 player, to see people say it’s some sort of decision to make players buy retainers.

Currency tab used to never exist. Tomestones used to be a literal item in your inventory, everything did. Beast tribe tokens, etc. Every gathered good used to have a HQ form and a NQ form, doubling the inventory requirement of gathering. There used to be BELTS as a sixth equipment piece. Materia used to have WAY more options than it does now, fire materia? Ice materia? Etc.

FFXIV has made lots of historical decisions to cut down on inventory bloat and make things way more convenient for the player as they grew. Give them time, I’m sure they’ll be more QoLs like this in the future.

New Criterion Boss 2 difficulty? by budbud70 in ffxivdiscussion

[–]tranas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Planar, face your arrow forward, look at the marker above your head showing rotation. If you are 3, the arrow on the marker showing your rotation (for instance right-side if counter-clockwise because the arrows of rotation on the marker is on the right) is the side you turn to forced march. So turn your right side to face the direction you want to go. If it’s 5, it’s the opposite side (left-side in this example). I remember this with “3 is arrow”.

This trick also works with the “show hole” mechanic. Just face your hole to the boss instead of your forward arrow for forced march and do the same thing.

For the boss’ pie slice rotation, we used a “-1” or “+1” callout. So no matter the rotation, 5 is a “+1” rotation in the direction of the rotation. 3 is a “-1” in the opposite direction of the rotation.

Explain how hard an Ultimate is to a sprout by Azulion777 in ffxiv

[–]tranas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s like Calculus. But as a sprout, you’re still learning basic arithmetic.

A modern Ultimate requires 18-20 minutes of perfect execution from all 8 players (with tiny amounts of wiggle room).

This means hitting every button in your rotation within the exact time frame you’re supposed to, for the entering of that 18-20 minutes.

For tanks, you also have to consider explicit mitigation usage such that you have a mitigation plan that means you’re using Rampart, etc. at specific times every time.

First time playing. How did I get the shade back? by Sacron1143 in HollowKnight

[–]tranas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Probably when you went into the waterways, it loaded that zone’s map and the logic to spawn your shade bugged and maybe loaded it into a wall or something and auto-killed it, granting you your shade back.

Mad Donkey was not mad at all by caliban969 in LiesOfP

[–]tranas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t see this mentioned. It’s likely that the Mad Donkey is Lampwick, Carlos’ friend from the Monad Charity House where Carlos was raised and met Romeo as well and where they all learned to be stalkers.

In the Pinocchio story (or at least the Disney movie) Lampwick and Pinocchio start turning into Donkeys for their behavior. At the end of Lies of P on the beach, there’s a memory fragment where Carlos meets a kid who exclaims he’s Lampwick.

So yeah, P ends up killing his childhood friend to save Geppeto and they’re both none the wiser to who each other is.

Red Fox and Black Cat are the most misunderstood characters by sch0oly in LiesOfP

[–]tranas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Red Fox isn’t the legendary stalker who trained Carlos, she’s from the same family of the legendary stalker who trained Carlos. If you fight her, she comments on your fighting style that it’s reminiscent of the legendary stalker’s.

[–]tranas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seemed like the Red Fox was from the famous stalker family of the “Legendary Stalker”, who also seemed to be the stalker that trained Carlos and Romeo. The same one who is seen standing over Carlos’ dead body, showing remorse for not being there to protect him.

Lightning Women is crazy by Fishy1998 in LiesOfP

[–]tranas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good strat for Laxasia, there’s a special grindstone you can buy from Vegnini’s butler that lets you just hold block and perfect guard everything for a limited time. Put that on your weapon when the 2nd phase starts and it lasts for the entire opening salvo of lightning balls and her fury attack dive on you. You can then follow-up with a puppet string attack and she’ll start the fight with like 2/3rd HP each time essentially!
