@floral_menace Will you one day reopen these? For I have a need for this rotund boi

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@AbsoluteUnit30 Afroman once sang about us smoking many joints, but one now could even knock Bob Marley out :(

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@FeristalJ Lost Ark was always that way in the East, it is returning to the devs who forced the P2W aspects. Like.. people not understanding or doing research into this makes my head hurt. And I like some of smilegate’s gachas, but they treat them better than their MMOs.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@superfeyn They had X-Com develop their hit detection routines. This said 99% to hit on their end.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@Actually_Tina Is it just me or are people forgetting that we only killed a bunch of Zodiark shards, but that he still exists in the 9th, 1st, 4th, and the other survivor shards? Like, without Elidibus, it is a wild animal of immense strength, just chilling, as no one powers the prisons.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius It was defeated by a barely powered Omega, and nearly fully contained by a drained aether stick, and a decently trained arcanist. It was “stronger” than the Primals we had fought up to that point besides even Coil Bahamut. But that was because of the power sources not for trying.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius Shinryu would have never made it to Garlemald, nor would it have destroyed it. Between the Weapons Project, Zenos, and the Bozjan Projects, Shin wasn’t going far. Doesn’t mean Ala Mhigo would have survived. Or Eorzea. Shinryu was a primal without a master. <c>

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@comicsexplained Marvel almost never tent-polled, instead umbrella-ing and forcing the comics to live in the MCU shadows. Which has killed their current story designs. I appreciate you telling the stories or otherwise I would never be able to stand them elsewise. Thank you for everything you do.

@roegamaniac I would say ARR/HW grind would be the best choice. And EW woulda been better if there were choices. Tying relics to field zones who are busted shitty messes at launch or to exploitable grinds that can have negative effects caused by single people not even groups is poor design.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@roegamaniac ARR relics/ HW relics were the worst kind of old school grind . StB was bad in that it set the precedent of linking them to Exploration Zones. ShB was the second worst grind period. Blu + Bozja = garbage. EW boring but fair. DT RNG Shitfest. If Relics were BIS the whole way <c>

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@FeristalJ Grats! May you stay happy and healthy! Please though keep up annual checks, as it can creep back in.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius They haven’t said anything about removing the weekly lock out on gear acquisition from Normal Raids.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius Yeah, Poetics will remain, but I think they are gonna keep an uncapped modern tome as well. The seasonal charts we have seen, even if developmental, all just show ilvl increases, not actual gear. <c>

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius That removes the first “cheap” tome buy. Which is a noticeable reduction in gear acquisition, and removes the best base for a ilvl upgrade system based on seasonal play.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius So where are the “casuals” (dislike the term so quotes) going to get gear? Remember, initial max level gear such as artifact, is VERY low compared to even the first tier of normal raids non-savage. <c>

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius Hearing Nina doing the silly intro for Halmarut made it so much better. Especially with how sultry she can be elsewise. Like silly lizard, sultry bird. She does insane really well too.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@Actually_Tina Probably do “saga” skips. So you skip the Zodiark Saga, or the Godless Realms saga (when that ends.) Would put people into the newish content with enough coherent skip that it can all be summarized fairly easily.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius We only have one portal to go by so far, and it was a stable point of entry and exit, but with the way the story acts, it is a one round trip kinda thing. Maybe our experimental steps go group to semi permanent to group semi permanent.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius At a later point when the ships are in decline (look at the fins of the ship in the trailer… things are coming off that doesn’t look good.) That later part has us arrive as Reaper WoL. And it will be because we need UNLIMITED POWAH! I mean, since reaper has extra power we need.

[StruttinEagles @shadowedhearts]

@VeridisArpegius WoL is a Viper in the first part, and the only way to become Reaper would be to do so on the Source (Voidsent can’t cross into other shards yet.) I have a feeling we arrived at two separate points of time both for us and for the 4th. First is as they start to go skyward then-
