To be honest, I'm a MM, so I don't mind so much, since most of hte time babysitting is time I shouldn't have my pets out anyway, so it's let me pretend I'm still a MM.

And glare resentfully at her being able to have her army of pets out taunting me...

Desdemona initially follows the first person who loads into the instance. After that, it's a proximity check.

And yes, it's frustrating, since Desdemona's death is a fail condition. So it does tend to lead to whoever leading her having to be far more cautious [the two times I've got stuck with her, I got a reward table mind you, but, those were on ranged characters].


She doesn't follow anyone during the final part [Avatar]. She's doing her thing, so you are free to pwn.

I agree. Personally, I don't see it as too difficult [just the 'herding cats' aspect], but then again, I play other MMOs which have a higher bar for required coordination and a more strict balance field.

However, I will say I've stopped trying to run Keyes. For a few reasons really. I don't like the Big Star. I really don't, I've done it before with Keyes, but I really don't like organizing. I am just exhausted with hear people complain about having to run Keyes and watching the cats fail to be herded.

Top part of the upper body is a clockwork chest detail.
The chest style is bio-organic.
The belt is Ascension (and the piece I think you're thinking of].

No, our plan is to go to TPN and begin to broadcast My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic.

This will gain us a great victory.

Given that we are talking about super-powers of superheroes here, it's extremely easy to over simplify and state that everything is magic. Since they are supernatural by definition.

Is that you Mr Phipps?

Nope, because in a jrpg any and everything can be reasonable to be used as weapon.

Therefore, there can be no weapons that don't look like they came out of a jrpg .

XenoSaga is interesting in that it's on the other side of the spectrum. More long movie interspersed with occasional elements of player control. While not as bad as it's predecessor in that reward [Darn you XenoGears Disc 2], it's still fairly strongly on that side of the spectrum.

And yes, console exclusives.

No... It's not. It's simply moving the wall of text from one point to a different more accessible point. My issue was not utilizing other visual components to tell the story instead of banking so much on the walls of text.

Two issues with that.

I dislike that the indication that the Reward Bribe warrants a 7x price multiplier.

Also, it only provides said value to only one of the arcs [whichever one happens to be quickest], since the reward cooldown is shared across the arcs. With subsequent arcs only having the Bribe reward of the initial run [5$ for an Alignment merit is not a bargain].

A fair remark on how bland legacy content is blue-side .

However, I'd suggest that the comparison is better made against First Ward. 600 points for 7 story arcs and one world zone. Whereas with the SSAs, it's 400 points for 1 story arc and modified mission maps. I do understand that modified mission maps have a bit of difficulty to them, however, I don't believe they warrant the arcs being 7x expensive as First Ward.

One other remark in general that you reminded me of . It's a video game, the story needs to be told in more than just walls of text. The SSAs have some improvement in that they do have those modified maps, but at the same time I see a lot more wall of texting going on. I admit it's probably fairly hard to avoid it due to the nature of how spawns are placed in this game, but it's still something to note.

So, pretty much my take is that Future media didn't see the title as that active.

I believe you are thinking of Incarnate stuff.

Pretty much everything else is available as a flat purchase [well except forum access + customer service].

Someone who hasn't done any of them would get 8 Alignment merits in one pass. Even with the slow rate of just tip missions you are looking more at closer to 2 weeks [2weeks, and 2 days really]. Which, yes, it is a significant number. Once you've run them once, you only get 1 merit/week from any of the individual ssa story arcs, so you really only need one of the arcs for repetition. And then you're looking at the rate changing from 3.5/week, to 4.5/week. Of course, that's 5 months from now. For a months worth of alignment merits [at slacker speed, 15], you're looking at a year from now. And even then, that only gives that value for a month of VIP subscription a year from now, not value for the VIP subscription leading up to it [that is an awkward part of the perk wrt SSA + new issue content, is that it will gain more value over time].

Personally, I dislike thinking of it as a means to a reward. Mostly as that means the value is in facilitating a grind, as opposed to the value being in enjoying the content. If it's just for the reward, I'll do a 10 minute ssa1.1/week for my grind fest.

Also, you say you'd pay 400 points for all that, but I question, would you pay 2800 points for all of that?

Different opinions, although to be fair, Red-Side has a higher minimum bar than Blue-Side .

Yes, "And if you order now, you can get the SSA for free, a 5$ value!"

To be honest, I don't have a problem with the SSA as a VIP perk in itself. I do have a problem with it's overvaluation though. Since as a Tier 8 whose happy with their server, it's one of the few 'points' of maintaining a subscription. [to be fair, the perceived value of VIP sub is a subject for somewhere else, just pointing out why I personally think it still has some merit in discussion relative as a VIP perk]

Y'know, that would be an awesome badge title.

Or they were hoping that extra large sword wouldn't look so much like a Buster Sword.

Coupled with the apparent stance, left wondering how it'd look with some of the not-Sword weapons.

That said, I do agree, it was something that was buried to begin with, and it was more hope for it to be something else.

Actually... Operative Grillo is those two. Transporter accident and a faction change.

Ya, it's a whole lot of not that important in the end for me too .

There is a decided advantage to not having to worry about selling the wrong thing, so there's merit to that side as well. Especially when you're talking about a pretty small value on the market [with perhaps the exception of some generic IO recipes].

Stuff has sold for 1inf before.

I've sold trash commons for it before. I imagine it was someone flipping in hindsight, but I'm lazy.

I will reiterate though that I think the market should buy up items that are below [or significantly] below NPC vendor value. Just on the premise that there's no reason why NPCs wouldn't use the market either.
