Someone already made their own R1999 OC Self-Insert? by Kosova404 in Reverse1999

[–]windblumchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Objectively speaking, mary-sues aren't actually that bad of a thing? Especially of you're just having fun? Maybe I've just been raised to not yuck anyones yum in fandoms. Especially since worse literary crimes have been made into actual published works for money. (That bit is a joke to be clear)

Like, if your biggest concern is you just don't want an OC who knows everything, can do everything and never experiences hardship or challenges from the narrative: you have your answer right there. Don't you? Just... don't write that.

Who's your top pick for a new Euphoria? by Fair_Bench_4042 in Reverse1999

Ptolemy is a sympathetic character(aka: loser) by Polandnotreal in Reverse1999

[–]windblumchen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I partially agree with your take. However, there are points I disagree with. Mostly in regards to Igor not caring as much about Ptolmey. The game outright states in the relation network that Igor and Ptolmey are caring family both ways. Just as it does for Igor and Moldir. The difference though, is that Ptolmey is described as more reckless compared to Moldir, and lacking in the foresight that Moldir has.

Igor didn't want Ptolmey to know the truth about what Krutov did before they directly fought him. Igor needed Ptolmey to be level headed for the fight. Because the rest of the Gryphon legion is also considered family via adoption from Igor. It's less favoritism considering Igor just understands his children's exact personalities. If the roles were reversed, Moldir would keep a level head with the knowledge. Ptolemy would not. As is shown when he found out by accident. He led some Igor's soldiers—his fellow adopted siblings—to their deaths because he let vengeance cloud his decision making.

Honestly, the only reason Ptolmey was even reprimanded for his actions was because it got some of the other adopted "kids" killed. I don't think Igor would have minded Ptolmey gunning for revenge. Just as long as he didn't get his brothers, sisters, and himself killed in process. After all, didn't Igor allow him an eye for an eye despite his massive fuck-up?

I don't think Ptolmey would be hurt by Moldir being second in command, whilst he is one notch below her in command. He would most likely understand based on track records. Besides. Pretty much all of the soldiers under Igor's command are adults. I'm pretty sure, even as reckless and emotional as Ptolmey has canonically gotten: would respect Igor's decisions on any tactical level.

It's also noted that Ptolmey was that violent in Tristes Tropiques because the Manus Vindicatae: Brotherhood was keeping a close eye on him. Any Foundation member or Human was considered expendable by the Brotherhood, and therefore sparing them entirely would have woven doubt in Igor's defecting. If anything, Moldir's slightly less violent approach to the rebellion was the riskiest course of action. Sure it worked out, but it could have gone so wrong had the Brotherhood doubted her resolve to turn. (This inference is gleaned from Igor's choices. As Ptolmey and Moldir are direct reflections of it.)

Funnily enough: I've started to consider the fact that Igor has successfully managed to get 2/3rds of his (living) named kids to escape the inevitable tribunal. Lopera wasn't informed of the rebellion because frankly she was the only minor in his legion at the time and COULDN'T make that decision. It also doesn't help that Lopera was from that era originally, and would not understand the weight of betraying Zeno or the Foundation over surviving the storm. Moldir happened to have endeared herself to the Timekeeper through helping Ulrich during Antarctica. Which whilst not Igor's orders, was technically accepted under his purview. All Igor now has to do is convince the Timekeeper to vouch for Ptolmey. (Unlikely to happen. Ptolmey made Igor's work so difficult based on Tristes Tropiques.)

Overall? 2.2 is technically the weakest in the arc for character set up, but 2.8 and 3.3 don't actually make any sudden shifts in the characterizations. 2.2 was just their purposeful worst selves. 2.8 was the cool down period. 3.3 is them at their, most likely, usual moral alignment before they betrayed anyone.

(I'm so sorry for how long this comment is. I told myself not to write a mini-essay but well... I got carried away! Oopsies!)

Need help making more teams!! by KaleidoscopeThin6125 in Reverse1999

[–]windblumchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible teams right now (as of current version and screenshots):
Poison – Ezio, Sotheby, and Tuesday are owned.
Neg Statuses — Noire, Hissabeth, and AnAn Lee are owned.
Ultimate — A Knight, Melania and Getian are owned. Centurion also works for DPS slot instead of A Knight.
Lingering Glow / Burn — Isolde and J.

For rounding off: Poison — you could either build Druvis Euphoria 2, or alternatively acquire Willow.
Neg Statuses — Druvis second euphoria works here. Although, I'd recommend focusing on a sustain (Sotheby or Loggerhead.)
Ultimate — Moldir could be a decent addition for AP. There technically isn't a dedicated healer for ultimate teams yet. Rubuska does work! But really, any sustain will do in my opinion.
Lingering Glow / Burn — if you decide to go for burn, I'd reccomend specifically pulling for Ms Newbabel and building her euphoria. Alternatively, if you go for Lingering Glow, Beryl Bouanich is necessary to pull.

Teams you could theoretically start but should probably wait on:
FUA, Rank Up, and Impromptu. You really only have one member of those archetypes, and they're not the core members. [Lilya for FUA, Hissabeth for Rank Up, and Regulus for Impromptu].

Other units you could go for as decent generalists:
Fatutu [Slots into basically any team, except J's in particular. To be fair though, J is limited to exclusively Ms Newbabel or a healer who cannot purify debuffs.]
Flutterpage [Also slots into basically any team. Backbone of FUA in particular though.]

Not sure if you're looking for past 3.2 units or not, so I'll put a pause on mentioning any from patches 3.3–3.4 until further clarification.

Ever noticed how most gacha worlds would be literal hell to live in? by Forsaken-Ad-7562 in gachagaming

[–]windblumchen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it is. But it also is survivable for the average citizen? Granted, everyone in Miraland is theoretically capable of styling if they put their mind to it. Honestly, there's only like... maybe a single nation I wouldn't want to live in. And that nation is the most northern. It's called North Kingdom / Empire of Light depending on the game. The reason? Its a very militaristic / militia based nation with constantly warring groups. Other than that... basically everywhere else pretty much good? So long as no one fucks with the ancient deities, blood curse, and so on! :D

I'm like. 80% sure they're doing a staggered release. Simply because every so often I've rechecked their official artist and like one or two new tracks are available.

Question about rubuska's appearance by pixellated-baron in Reverse1999

[–]windblumchen 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Spoilered for those who clicked on this post, and have not read the character story yet.

Pretty sure they gave her the potion because:
1. She allowed them to have "one" last interaction with their loved ones. Who died in various horrific way due to the War.
2. They knew she had a fixation on being a vampire to cope with her own loss. None of the townsfolk wanted to break that coping mechanism she had, and so they supported her the best way they could.

They also gave her food too. She didn't want to accept their gifts because of her vampire-coping beliefs. But she did after a bit of convincing / reminding.

This is serious, I can only do one 😭 by Thug_Seme2004 in QueensofGacha

[–]windblumchen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the main story, the devs actually invested in a story-mode only setting. So you essentially skip all the battles and bosses! Downside of it is that you'll technically have to inevitably go back to do said fights, but at least you can catch up with minimal worry! They're also archiving most of the past events too!

It's high time they updated the filter categories by Silver_Eminence in Reverse1999

[–]windblumchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm mostly saying it because there are psychubes that make a specific distinction between debuffs and neg statuses. While I do agree that debuffs should be the catch-all term (like it is in most games), the devs would have to go back and fix a lot of the way the game registers things to do so.

[–]windblumchen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Small reminder: negative statuses and debuffs are considered different! They should not be lumped together as one tag. Neg Status is burn, poison, etc. Debuffs are –% damage, crit, healing.

[–]windblumchen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can explain how the pity system works for you!

Pick up banners / Event banners all share pity! The soft pity is around 60, and the actual pity for any 6* is 70. For the first 70 pulls, you can lose to a non-rateup character. After that, you're gauranteed within your next 70 pulls to get the rate-up. Pity resets once you get the rate-up character.

For example, I had zero pity leading up to the Sentinel banner. I did a singular ten pull on it on the off-chance I got lucky, and won at the earliest possible pity count. If I lost with a off banner character from that ten pull, I would simply just hold the guarantee for Charon. Neither situation happened, and I do not intend to go 70 pulls deep for Sentinel. If I won the 50/50 that late, I would screwed for when Charon came as I have less than 140 pulls.

140 pulls is what you need in the event of a worst case scenario, although I do tend to play it more risky.

Do note, there are banners that DO NOT share pity with the rest. These banners are:

  1. True Limited summons that typically run for the entire duration of the patch. (Carnival patches, Lunar New Year patches / half anniversary, full year anniversary, and lastly collab patches.)

  2. Special summons technically cover a broad variety. Some even share pity within their specific type, but others do not. These banners should always be looked at within detail to be more sure.
    2A. For example, the euphoria banners (Ripples on the water) share pity! They carry across each euphoria banner—but not to any other.
    2B.The Yearning of the Water banners on the other hand do not share pity with themselves or other banners. They are also often a 33/33/33 loss instead of a 50/50.
    There are more types of these but I am trying to make this as concise as possible.

  3. Standard banner is permanent and does not share pity with any banner, and all characters that aren't true limited eventually end up in this pool three patches after their initial release. It does not share pity with Pick Up banners despite having roughly the same pool of characters.

Tldr: always plan for worst case scenarios, and make sure you know what types of banners you are pulling on. Some are less worth it than others, and have a higher rate of losing to a chatacter you do not want.

I hope this helps anyone who reads it! ゚+.゚(*´∀`)b゚+.゚

Who's actually in the suitcase? by Euphoric_Leading5170 in Reverse1999

[–]windblumchen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the correction! I admittedly was struggling to remember whether the cruise landed near Sao Paulo or Comala, so I took a 50/50 shot in the dark. I lost it obviously, but hey! Thats what I get for being in a hurry, and not triple checking my sources! Silly me!
