Ibram Gaunt posted:I didn't get the last attack bonus or w/e on the first boss in SAO because I got stunned right before it died. There is an achievement for getting all of them. You can get them on NG+ if you want, though. The items are good but nowhere near the best in the game. When a boss gets low, Hit L1 and use the command to make everyone retreat so you're the only person fighting. It wont last for long so make sure you use it right at the end. As far as weapon viability, the only weapon I've ever been told is no good is spear but I have no idea if that's true or not. Mace is baller as all hell though. It has a TON of stuns. Dual Wield is probably the easiest setup for damage but it's fun to mix things up.

The White Dragon posted:You got it backwards, the zombies are the villagers! They all have like 1HP, but you automatically counterattack anything that doesn't hit you in the back(?), and you gotta kill the actual enemies before too many villagers get countered to death I knew I had that wrong somehow because that didn't sound as irritating as I remembered.

Paperhouse posted:I can't tell if that's a genuine recommendation, as most of the things I've read about Hoshigami have made me stay away from it. Hoshigami has bullshit dumb difficulty unless you cheese the game (which I feel is better than "has 0 difficulty and cheesing the game makes it sleepwalk-able like every other SRPG), otherwise you have to grind a stupid amount. I don't know what the other complaints are, if there are any

I found a katana are started using that and it's neat so far but I still only have one skill and can't even unlock mastery 1 yet even though I've been messing around with it for like 45mins which is annoying.

Sakurazuka posted:I love Vandal Hearts to death but it looked like poo poo even when it first came out. Of course they're hilarious. I'm surprised at the responses. I thought people would see pixilated blood fountains as charming old school. VH looks as bad as almost any 1996 PS1 game but I think VH's visuals are bad in a funny entertaining way rather than bad in a bland put you to sleep way. I was thinking about how colorful VH was while I was trying out TO and it really made me wish I was playing VH.

You can't learn Katana skills until you max out Scimitars. Once you do you'll have access to the Katana Mastery skill. Same goes for 2H sword, you have to master 1H first. I think they are the only two weapon types that have that requirement though.

it is dumb because getting 1h to 600 mastery to unlock scimitars wasn't too bad, getting scimitar all the way to 1000 is extremely annoying right now.

Best way to level weapon proficiency is to stack items/abilities that increase attack speed/double attack and just auto attack the highest level enemy you can. Don't use burst or skills. You get weapon exp per hit and auto attacking is way faster. Multiple attack skills help stack the exp. Ideally you want to fight something like 20 levels higher than you as long as it's not a monster type that will kill you. If you do it in Multiplayer it might only take you like a half an hour.

Rascyc posted:This game seems bad just listening in on this conversation. It's... pretty grindy, but combat is fun. It's fairly active and you are rewarded for reacting to attacks by actively parrying or dodging. You can unlock combo chains and such and there is a lot of variety in the game. The game is only grindy and bad if you try to do everything. Don't try to do everything.

I wouldn't mind just doing a solo MP game to grind the xp to use the weapon I actually want to use (and blew all my money making cuz I misread the cost at the smith)

I wouldn't mind just doing a solo MP game to grind the xp to use the weapon I actually want to use (and blew all my money making cuz I misread the cost at the smith) Yes, on Normal, enemies are about 20 levels higher than they would be in single player. This is offset by either doing Solo Multiplayer (you can take 3 party members in) or playing with other players. Or if you're comfortable with combat, find a good place and just grind by yourself. I like to do that mission in Selvandys Forest north of the abandoned weapon test site; there is a Hollow Mission where four Tree enemies spawn. The mission is to kill them all at the same time or close, because they respawn incredibly quickly. You can exploit this by leaving one tree up and just grinding on the constantly spawning trees. If you take a partner, it's also a great way to level their battle types (Attack/Defense/Buffer) too. If you find yourself kind of behind want some gear/money/items, I can give you some. PSN: Levantine1978 I have a lot of the Rank 6 weapons and some of the rarer armor and more money than I'll ever be able to spend. EDIT: this map is the place I'm talking about : http://swordartonline.info/botany-paradise-northern-section/ - it's from the Vita version so the names are different but you can teleport into that crystal, and the Hollow mission spawns in that large room at the top. You can just select the mission directly in Multiplayer too. Levantine fucked around with this message at 03:04 on Aug 16, 2015 |

Not sure if it is patched out in the ps4, bit on Vita there was an implement you could do in the hollow fragment section of the game that set your attack speed to some ridiculously high number as part of the quest condition. In the original you could go from 0 to 1000 in about five minutes of auto, and you should have enough time to level two or three weapon types in the one chance you have. I'm phone posting so feel free to google it yourself, if only to save you from the grind.
