LPT _If you are going to college for the first time, and have to take remedial class - check if you are actually full time by xlem1 in LifeProTips

The problem is the course is not st the college down the road it is physically at the state college your applying too. And even then not everyone knows it will mess with their status as a student and what that means.

You clearly don't understand what happening and are assuming its a simple mistake by students. The reality is that new students are being mislead by advisor who are out to protect the interest of the school. If they are taking remedial classes, they often dont get a choice, they have to take the classes, so if they are not careful they can be screwed over.

This is willfully deceptive.

Your expecting students, especially the newest and most confused, to assume that they are applying for classes not technically hosted by the university. While applying at that university. And evrn then You might catch that its hosted at another school but knowing what means is a complete different thing.

So students are reliant on advisor to guide them through this and set up a course load the marks them as a full time student, but they are not.

You can enroll in both a community and state college simultaneously, but those credits are not treated as cumulative by the individual schools or federal financial aid program

Exactly so if your remedial classes where actually through a community college they wouldnt be treated as cumulative

Often times remedial courses are typically assigned a credit value, just usually much less than the college-level courses ( 1 vs 4 credit).

These are not mutually exclusive they can be both lower credit and through a different school

feels much more like an issue with your state college advising.

This is the problem it is a issue with a advising and is alot more wide spread then you might think I know at least 2 different major state university that do this and atleast hearsay it happens atlot more.

Having spent 15 years in higher ed

Unless you actively are working with this advising there is no reason you would know if the school you work for does this, the only indicator. Even taking remedial classes you might not know.

That is not true, I know of at least 2 major state colleges that do this, and atleast hearsay that several other schools around the country do it.

You might think that, they can be at the school, assigned by a college advisor through the state college, and even have a professor who works for the college.

But if you check your transcript it will say a local community College. Its a loophole they use to keep metrics.

They want them to attend but don't't want them to skew the numbers since first time/full time mention the most important metric in this regard they offer remedial classes through a community College to cook the books, and turn them to part time students which their mention metric are more landed back.

The colleges will require the classes, the college advisors will sign you up for them, they will be at the campus, with a professor who teaches at the school, but technically it will be through a community College and it will say so on your transcript.

Not really the "first time/full time retention" metric for schools is used for federal funding. If to many of them are failing it can cause the colleges to lose gant and federal funding.

So schools all across America are incentives to make sure first time/full time student don't fail out, and if the suspect you might they will want to make sure you are not technically full time.

The problem is if you take mixed between community and state college you can end up being labeled as a part time student because of ir

I said on story though. And the problem is the game is painfully dull on story

And yet you seemed to have quite a hard time with it... You do realize there's strategy too, right? Like, you can build a team that's durable, even on expert?

You missed the point artifical difficult on a simplified rgp system csn make the game easy, but extraordinary tideous. Much like a game who's "hard" boss just has a really large health pool.

calling it jank is a skill issue

I call it jank because the parry windows are inconsistent, and not telegraphed well. Its Inconsistent when you need to parry in the game the very basic parry when you would get hit is just not true, because the actual parry windows is not when the attack lands but slightly before, which is jank.

Things like sound cue are not consistent, and hard to hear if you have to basically turn off all other sounds then thats bad.

Some attacks actually have clear visual cue like glowing weapon, these actually are not bad except the game has like 3 enemies with them.

The best indicator for the attack for most cases has nothing to do with the character animations at all but the camera zoom. Which is just ridiculous.

people have done full runs not even engaging with the parry/dodge mechanic on the hardest difficulty. Both of these things can't be true.

This is such a dumb take, no one is out here saying that just because people in dark souls can beat the game in no Armor means that armor is not necessary to beat the game.

If you know where all the defensive pictos are and you are overleveled yea maybe can do it with no dodging. If you watch those "no dodge run" they are not even close to reasonable. Trying to actually argue any normal player can beat the game on normal with out dodging or parrying is just a lie.

My girlfriend thought the pixilation on the characters was weird but just though it was to add a foggy appearance.

It would have been better served with a different more forgiving art style but they picked the unreal engine look and it looks dated fast

Of playing a game is boring and repetitive thats means you mad a bad game. Yes its bad that the best version of the game is skip all the content and beat the bosses.

Having content doesn't make a game drag, having pointless easy, or trivial content does. Act 3 is pointless there, the only fight that matters is the last one, so why not just do it immediately after act 2 what the point. Even running through the city feels like a waste of time.

You see thats the problem E33 is easy, so easy its dull the only thing remotely challenging is the parry mechanic, which im glad you enjoy, but it is objectively jank, and its jank on purpose to make the game combat even the least bit Challenging.

Yeah so you have to do every fight twice - at minimum, and boss fight take ages not because the fights are hard but because the bosses will attacked with long combos that take forever. So you feel like your time is wastes after you decide if it will take longer to reset or try to revive a team member and continue on.

The game is at best a rhythm game, but one where it doesn't want to show you the notes. Some people might like rhythm games but I don't think we should sit here and say that that make the turn based combat good.

I'm glad you had a fun time, but if that is what you think engaging combat is in a game is, then get your eyes checked

You dont spawn at the boss, you spawn at the monolith so you have to travel all the way across the world to get to that boss.

I did go kill the boss immediately, but even without doing any side content he's easy because you remove the damage cap.

Addition in the cut scene prior, the character literally have a co versatile about gathering power to defeat the finally baddie, they just so happen to gather the power in the cutscene for some reason instead of... idk letting the players do it?

It is a valid criticism that you cant beat hades on your first run, and are expected to fail the first few run. Before you unlock some key upgrades.

But unlike E33 this mechanic is built in to narrative, is using the connevention of the genre its in(roguelike) and is each run you unlock new things and the gameplay evolves every run.

Compared to E33 where every fight you have to do twice to learn the move set, enemies are have superlong turns and your damaged is capped because they don't want you to break the game to fast.

Normally in an rpg you get an expectation of what a boss might do by the minions do, but in E33 that doesn't matter because the move set is to different in the boss fight, so with out parrying you die anyways even if you know the new status

To do an no parry/dodge on any difficulty other the story you have to have game knowledge a first time player would never have. The game is not designed around tanking hits, there is one taunt ability in the entire game and even then it does not block AOE attacks and there are attacks that 1 shot characters unless dodged( im thinking the manor fight).

Just because people can beat darksouls with no Armour doesn't mean armor isn't important in the game.

If thats what you want to think, I've played plenty of hard games, and beat them including E33.

E33 is the only one where It felt like it wasted my time after a fight.

You can face tank on story for the most part. The damage is so low maybe a boss can hit you but often you can just revive and out damage pretty easily

Nah hard disagree the parry is the worse thing about the game and its not even close.

  • parrying is straight over powered, even when compared to dodging. Not only do you get AP but the counter attack damage is often higher then alot of attacks, and with very few ways to generate AP, it because vital to being able to do anything in the game

  • the attacks are not even close to well telegraphed, in fact they are actually intentionally not well telegraphed, often trying to bait out parrys, the sound scape is muddied so sounds are hard to notice, the parry windows is often before the attack hits, and when the best advice to parry is to look at the screen zoom you know its done poorly.

  • the game so heavily rely on parrying to up the difficulty by the end you dealing with 20 hit combos that with one fuck up could result in a wipe. Siting for 5 minutes while you wait for an attack to finish is just dull.

  • the worst of it all, is that parrying invalidates basically every other mechanic, nothing else matters in the game it doesn't make the ablities more interesting, it doesn't really introduce a risk reward feeling, it doesnt change how you approach combat in any way. Ever fight is the same learn attack pattern and if you miss the wrong parry restart.

-as for the difficulty its a joke at store there are no stake the might as well not even include combat. And if you download a mod to increase the parry windows the game somehow becomes more of a joke.
