Dude... thats book 3... 4 is admittedly pretty boring, spoiler for it >!all you need to know is they get over their depression, and take on the last surviving member of Choco's party, Kuzaku the Paladin, and then take out a fairly tough monster in another area that kind of makes them not quite novice Vol. Soldiers!< book 5 things start to get pretty interesting imo >!another world gets discovered and they go fight in it!<. I'm on 16 rn, and enjoying every second of the story (though there were a few droughts in interesting things happening around the book 8 or 9 area). I can understand getting bored with Grimgar, as it is indeed a bit too real sometimes. But I would highly suggest either skimming 4, or just watching like a summary vid or smth I'm sure there's one or two out there, and just jumping straight to 5 ******************************************************************************** Yea thats a 10 gallon run of bad luck right there... clans are sometimes pretty toxic depending on what they dedicate themselves to... netracells are kinda toxic just cuz people want to get it over and done with, so if you add a single second to their timer they get all pisses for no good reason (especially earlier in the week as that's when the *speedrunners* are playing it). Trade chat is a toxic cesspit at just about all times, most people there are only there because they want to scam noobs (ie charging 200 plat for a 60-70 plat item, and getting super angry when you call them out)... as for zariman that just sounds like an asshat who doesn't know how to play well enough himself, he feels the need to belittle anyone worse than himself... Try not to let dipshits get to you, there will always be a dumbass in any given group of people, best advice is to hit ignore and never listen to them again ******************************************************************************** .-.. --- --- -.- / .- - / - .... . -- --..-- / - .... . -.-- / -.-. --- -- . / - --- / - .... .. ... / .--. .-.. .- -.-. . / .-- .... . -. / - .... . -.-- / -.- -. --- .-- / - .... . -.-- / .- .-. . / -. --- - / .--. ..- .-. . .-.-.- / - . -. -. --- / ..- ... . / - .... . / -.- . -.-- ... --..-- / -... ..- - / - .... . -.-- / .- .-. . / -- . .-. . / - .-. . ... .--. .- ... ... . .-. ... .-.-.- / --- -. .-.. -.-- / .. --..-- / ...- --- .-. --..-- / -.- -. --- .-- / - .... . / - .-. ..- . / .--. --- .-- . .-. / --- ..-. / - .... . / ...- --- .. -.. .-.-.- / .. / .-- .- ... / -.-. ..- - / .. -. / .... .- .-.. ..-. --..-- / -.. . ... - .-. --- -.-- . -.. --..-- / -... ..- - / - .... .-. --- ..- --. .... / .. - .----. ... / .--- .- -. ..- ... / -.- . -.-- --..-- / - .... . / ...- --- .. -.. / -.-. .- .-.. .-.. . -.. / - --- / -- . .-.-.- / .. - / -... .-. --- ..- --. .... - / -- . / .... . .-. . / .- -. -.. / .... . .-. . / .. / .-- .- ... / .-. . -... --- .-. -. .-.-.- / .-- . / -.-. .- -. -. --- - / -... .-.. .- -- . / - .... . ... . / -.-. .-. . .- - ..- .-. . ... --..-- / - .... . -.-- / .- .-. . / -... . .. -. --. / .-.. . -.. / -... -.-- / .- / ..-. .- .-.. ... . / .--. .-. --- .--. .... . - --..-- / .- -. / .. -- .--. --- ... - --- .-. / .-- .... --- / -.- -. --- .-- ... / -. --- - / - .... . / ... . -.-. .-. . - ... / --- ..-. / - .... . / ...- --- .. -.. .-.-.- / -... . .... --- .-.. -.. / - .... . / - . -. -. --- --..-- / -.-. --- -- . / - --- / ... -.-. .- ...- . -. --. . / .- -. -.. / -.. . ... . -.-. .-. .- - . / - .... .. ... / ... .- -.-. .-. . -.. / .-. . .- .-.. -- .-.-.- / -- -.-- / -... .-. --- - .... . .-. ... --..-- / -.. .. -.. / .. / -. --- - / - . .-.. .-.. / --- ..-. / - .... .. ... / -.. .- -.-- ..--.. / -.. .. -.. / .. / -. --- - / .--. .-. --- .--. .... . ... .. --.. . / - .... .. ... / -- --- -- . -. - ..--.. / -. --- .-- --..-- / .. / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / ... - --- .--. / - .... . -- .-.-.- / -. --- .-- / .. / .- -- / -.-. .... .- -. --. . -.. --..-- / .-. . -... --- .-. -. / - .... .-. --- ..- --. .... / - .... . / . -. . .-. --. -.-- / --- ..-. / - .... . / .--- .- -. ..- ... / -.- . -.-- .-.-.- / ..-. --- .-. . ...- . .-. / -... --- ..- -. -.. / - --- / - .... . / ...- --- .. -.. .-.-.- / .-.. . - / .. - / -... . / -.- -. --- .-- -. --..-- / .. ..-. / - .... . / - . -. -. --- / .-- .- -. - / - .-. ..- . / ... .- .-.. ...- .- - .. --- -. --..-- / - .... . -.-- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / .-.. .- -.-- / -.. --- .-- -. / - .... . .. .-. / .- .-. -- ... --..-- / .- -. -.. / .-- .- .. - / ..-. --- .-. / - .... . / -... .- .--. - .. ... -- / --- ..-. / -- -.-- / .--- .- -. ..- ... / -.- . -.-- .-.-.- / .. - / .. ... / - .. -- . .-.-.- / .. / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / - . .- -.-. .... / - .... . ... . / - .-. . ... .--. .- ... ... . .-. ... / - .... . / .-. . -.. . -- .--. - .. ...- . / .--. --- .-- . .-. / --- ..-. / -- -.-- / .--- .- -. ..- ... / -.- . -.-- .-.-.- / - .... . -.-- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / .-.. . .- .-. -. / .. - .----. ... / ... .. -- .--. .-.. . / - .-. ..- - .... .-.-.- / - .... . / - . -. -. --- / .- .-. . / .-.. --- ... - --..-- / .- -. -.. / - .... . -.-- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / .-. . ... .. ... - .-.-.- / -... ..- - / .. --..-- / ...- --- .-. --..-- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / -.-. .-.. . .- -. ... . / - .... .. ... / .--. .-.. .- -.-. . / --- ..-. / - .... . .. .-. / .. -- .--. ..- .-. .. - -.-- .-.-.- ******************************************************************************** Fair, the main issue I see with KMF, is that noobs tend to see his stuff and get discouraged because they have no idea how to get all the OP mods he is using, and most of the mods he will use won't be readily available to a noob without quite a bit of plat... There is nothing inherently wrong with meta chasing, if that's fun for you, but I personally think it's important to suggest creators that will offer a wider range of builds so a noob can see the power levels in steps... To that extent it's a lot easier to just steer people away from KMF, until they have the modding skill, or gameplay progression, to make their own educated decisions on which creators are best for them ******************************************************************************** I ran my first 5 netracells this past week, did the first 2 solo to get an idea of how everything feels. Then went public cuz i dont really care about doing it fast... first public round glitched and didnt mark the second necramite... we spent about 10 minutes scouring the tilesets trying to find any mites to kill, right before we gave up i lucked out and blew one up... the next 2 netracells went by without any sort of issue though... these things are such a pain to find without the indicator, we need some sort of distinct audio ******************************************************************************** Yea limbo's problem is the same as loki... people think both are bad cuz neither can get a huge KPM without using a meta weapon like DPS frames can... but as Pablo said, loki isnt supposed to be a DPS, and by that same token neither should limbo. The problem is that we dont have a good method of utilizing CC frames that cant DPS in the games current form, although it does feel like they are slowly fixing that with gamemodes like mirror defense, where kills hardly matter. I think the best tweak we could get for CC frames is giving them an anti-eximus layer to their CC like silence has, dont apply the CC that normal enemies get (stasis/disarm/ragdolls/etc) but disable their aura's as long as they are affected and still overguarded... or allow the CC effects to disable their overguard but still not affect them directly? Id prefer the first option of aura shut down ******************************************************************************** >!I dont think roxy was that out of character... it had already been established that she was dungeon delving in Shirone in order to try and find a handsome man, a prince charming if you will, who could rescue her, the poor damsel in distress, and fall in love at first sight...!< >!when she was in the labyrinth in bagarit, she was on the brink of death, it was a hopeless situation and she had just about given up trying to survive any longer. At that moment she was a damsel in distress and suddenly a super handsome guy shows up, blasts all the monsters to pieces, and rescues her. She had her swoon moment then and there before she realized it was Rudeus, after she found out it was rudeus she didnt know how to feel, and it took quite a bit of nudging from elinalise to get her to help him out during his depression!< ******************************************************************************** This is the $70 chain I put together for F7C MK II, a merlin does change it slightly, as the optimal chain can't fit it due to the HoverQuad/Aurora being too close for CCU. Basically you would add $5 to the chain cost ($75 now) but since you don't need to buy the starting link you save $25 from the price of the chain (the cost of a warbond HoverQuad). (Aurora ES\[$20\] to HoverQuad $5), HoverQuad to STV $5, STV to 100i $5, 100i to 125a $5, 125a to Arrow $5, Arrow to Hull A $5, Hull A to Nova $5, Nova to Freelancer DUR $5, Freelancer DUR to Prospector $5, Prospector to F7C Hornet MK II $5 ​ Edit: okay so your chain would cost $50 not $55 cuz im tired and my math was weekend math ******************************************************************************** As a child i was never allowed to access my parent's computers without one of them (or one of my teenage sisters) present... they had no earthly idea the full extent of the dangers of the internet back then and still cared enough to do this... nowadays we know exactly how horrible the internet can be, and parents seem to give less than 0 fucks. Side note, we only ever watched movies that eithe A. My father said were clean (he misremembered quite a few 80s PG films though) or B. Were modern PG ratings... if i ever have kids they are getting both these treatments and hopefully they will learn to appreciate it later in life ******************************************************************************** Okay so from everything i can find, damage reduction (ie halo, eclipse, splinter storm, etc) are all multiplicative with each other (halo x eclipse = 97.5% dmg reduction) whereas adaptation doesnt work too well with halo because it only adapts to the highest damage type in an instance of damage (5 impact + 2 puncture + 3 slash = an impact adaptation stack but no stacks for puncture or slash) and adaptation also doesnt apply its reduction to halo itself (idk if eclipse does but i dont really care when its a full 75% dmg reduction vs adaptation's finnicky nature) ******************************************************************************** This specific deal is a *WARBOND* which means it only applies to new money, if the sale is non-warbond you can melt your starter pack and buy the other starter pack with no issues (i upgraded my aurora to a cutter for $6 more during the recent cutter starter pack sale). Just keep in mind, if you melt a starter pack, make sure the ship you buy with that credit is also a starter pack, otherwise you will lose access to the game until you buy a new starter pack (nothing in game will be lost except the melted ship[unless there is a wipe]) ******************************************************************************** Eeh, not great... my suggestion would be as follows (dependant on personal preferences) Prism: 1 - slow fire rate/high damage (can easly single tap terry limbs with the right buffs) 4 - fast fire rate/medium damage (decent if you want a more machine gun/range build) 6 - fast fire/high status/low range (its a flame thrower, best used with brace 3 to apply void status or magus statuses) 7 - fast fire/medium damage/mid range (its like a SMG, great for eidolons or thrax units) Scaffold: 4 - extremely good for last grasp, as well as general usage. 7 - really only useful for Tricaps afaik. Brace: 3 - balanced Crit/stat buffs. 6 - good for spamming phahd scaffold (4) or lega prism (6). 7 - best crit stats for an amp. Personally i like the 147 best, but i also like 643 for some element shenanigans
