Nick Buntline posted:yeah it's definitely closer to a marathon than a sprint, but it's not unreasonable if you've got at least one of the gacha boosters. remember the events three weeks long, so at least personally I just have to run the hard floor twice a day and I'm set to get the bonus banner. Just in case it affects your math so you don't come up short: it's two weeks, not three But yeah getting Gregor day 1 put the rest of the math at 4 spicy runs a day, which is a lot of grind but not insurmountable, and I'd already been saving for Kurokumo Ryoshu so I just picked up RB instead and that cut it down a fair bit. It's a solid grind no matter what but as long as you pace yourself it's eminently doable (and if someone does just wanna get the Don EGO and call it a day that's basically nothing).

The third option gives you clean needle and thread if it works. It’s 50% bonus damage, so it’s pretty lit if you get it, but marinade is guaranteed and basically lets you auto the rest of the dungeon without thinking.

I'm glad that this event made us aware that Yi Sang, for all that he seems... not necessarily above all the other Sinner's stuff, just... away from it, that he is absolutely a weirdo in his own way. He drinks spoiled milk and tries to argued that the concept of something being 'burnt' is a social construct. Really, this was a really well-balanced event in terms of everyone's screentime.

I know it saw use in City of Heroes back during live, although I think in the modern era most COH players already know far too much about the spaghetti code of that engine. if you thought  applied to PM only, HOO BOY...It's actually news to me that it also made its way around in the PKMN community, that's kinda rad.

Given the alternatives you're giving up I dunno if it's worth it to keep trying just for the sake of spading. It gives you a thing where the first skill you do damage with each turn does bonus damage equal to half the damage of the skill. Tango Marinade is still probably way better though since you just get it with no skill checks or anything, and it works all the time for your whole team.

It's weird how the one that requires a skill check is the worst option . The scene for succeeding is cute though. Due to how explosive the enemies in this event can be with their rolls any clash power is generally really good.

With some bleed count + ids you can do some truely silly bleed numbers with that ego gift, though again, the +clash numbers item is better since the chickens get some goofy high numbers themselves. That two 7 coin attack is disgusting D: Also I didn't uptie W Faust until recently and I thought it was interesting that she mentions that W corp's singularity isn't the time warping, but rather likely the resetting the people at the end. Makes me wonder what the W stands for.

Makes me wonder what the W stands for. Yeah, it was explained in Library of Ruina. WCorp work with TCorp to give them Time, Time that they harvest by having the train be stranded in the void for 2000 years. WCorp then use their singularity to revert the passanger state (At the exception of the First class, who were sleeping in special pod) and sell the Time harvested to TCorp, who can use that Time for the various product and service they sell. For exemple, there a restaurant in the City that allow you to have a three day broth in under three minutes or something like that. RCorp also worked with TCorp to use the TT2 Protocol which allows RCorp to produce soldier at a much faster rate (Considering they must harvest the clone and make them fight to death). RCorp being a mercanary company, they provided soldier to TCorp. LobCorp used to work with TCorp and RCorp by providing a massive amount of energy produced by Abnormalities. In exchange, TCorp gave them the TT2 Protocol which allowed the facility to reset pretty much any time they wanted and RCorp gave them soldier in the form of the Rabbit. It's a really sordid group but one that work well. By the way, do we have confirmation that Limbus Company has replaced LobCorp has it's Wing? because I think it was implied but never explicitly confirmed. Edit: Wait, you can just steal a Singularity that has lost their copyright? Neat! L.U.I.G.I fucked around with this message at 14:58 on Apr 23, 2023 |

Has anyone else noticed Sinclair's lifetime stew sometimes hitting 5 targets instead of 3? Not sure what causes this bug. It seems like when this triggers it hits 3 enemies + 2 allies. Would probably be pretty useful if it was reliable or consistent.

The bus crew are just a branch of the company, not the entire company. They're called the LCB. Effie and Saude (and the Ishmael/Rodion identities) are part of the before team of the LCC. We know LCC stands for Limbus Company Clearance, so LCB probably means Limbus Company Bus or Limbus Company Bough.

re: Distortion Chat earlier, Disortion seems mostly tied up in retreating into your desires/delusions so hard that it twists you physically, the reasons for doing so can range from not wanting to face some terrible truth to just pure hedonism. A fanatic physically pushed to the edge definitely fits the bill.

All we really know is that they apparently have riot police and oddly prescient hiring practices

It's very weird. Until proven otherwise, I'm just assuming Limbus Company is in startup mode. We've gotten a lot of investor money to do big and ill-defined things, but because we're still laying the foundations and spinning up to do whatever we're trying to do they don't expect a return on it yet. Emphasis on yet.

Okay this has been confusing me for a while - what's up with the number range shown when a multi-coin ability isn't clashing? For example, Gregor's Keep It Fresh is a base of 4 & two +2 coins, which would logically result in a range of 4–8, which is indeed the range shown in the interface when it's clashing. However, when making an unopposed attack, or when not targeted at all, it inexplicably shows a range of 8–14. What on Earth is that range? The lower bound appears to be the base value multiplied by the number of coins, which, while useless, is at least consistent. The upper bound just seems nonsensical; Butcher Viand is base 5 & four +1 coins, a range of 5–9, yet displays 20–30. This also seems to be what's behind the huge inaccurate numbers displayed whenever you block an attack. I can't tell if it's just bugged or if I'm missing something, but it's been like this for a while and it seems weird for a bug to go unfixed and unnoticed for so long.

I think if it's one-sided it shows damage range, which takes into account enemy resistances and weaknesses, etc.

Junpei posted:I think if it's one-sided it shows damage range, which takes into account enemy resistances and weaknesses, etc. Am I just drastically misunderstanding how damage works? Is the base value actually added to every coin when calculating damage? I don't understand how Butcher Viand could go from a clash of 5–9 to a damage of 20–30.

For multi-coin skills, every hit is effectively base skill power + (number of heads x coin power). So Butcher Vivandi would deal 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 damage on all heads, a max damage of 30. (With minimum damage of course being 5 + 5 + 5 + 5.) And that's of course affected by enemy resistances, passives, ego gifts, etc.

The most extreme example of this is WARP Don's charged Rip Space. It has a base power of 1, with 5 coins that each give +6. But instead of a piddly 31 damage it can do hundreds. Each coin benefits from the damage bonus of all the coins before it, plus it can benefit from the stagger damage multiplier if an enemy gets staggered partway through. That's also why single coin skills are generally underwhelming even when they have pretty big looking numbers like Blade Lineage Sinclair's.

I think I had a suspicion that was how it worked, but I dismissed it since it's so dramatically different from how clashes are calculated. They... should really show both ranges simultaneously and separately, imo.

Maint on the 26th, not anything major besides getting all Abno info after a win, previewing skills before Threadspin and being able to set Artwork for units. No mention of a bug I just read about: apparently Chef Ryoshu was so strong at LV1 because her S3 deals more damage the less offense level you have against the enemy instead of more. Meaning it gets weaker as you level.
