Clarste posted:Conversely, there's no MP or anything to limit healers, so if you just lower all the damage you get stuck in unwinnable battles where both sides have unlimited healing. This one at least has been addressed by games(not even gacha ones, necessarily) with stacking damage dealt buffs and/or healing reductions once combat passes a certain number of turns to stop infinite stall. e: Hell, this is already in the game in a couple of forms. SU final bosses have soft enrage mechanics(in the form of stacking undispellable attack buffs), and the minibosses actually have a stacking enrage buff too if the fight goes on for too long.

I just finished the mine cart puzzles.... and it was pretty easy to do? I don't get the goons grousing about it. It's just like a Hanoi tower puzzle, move a cart over there so you can move a cart out of the way then move the cart back and so forth.

The mine cart puzzles are easy but the UI is very clunky and awkward.

# ? May 28, 2023 13:52 |

Also it's just slow, in that you spend a lot of time waiting for animations and walking between things.
|
# ? May 28, 2023 13:59 |

Yeah, it's a bit of a drag. The Hexacube puzzles are a good contrast because they're about the same difficulty as the mine carts but the UI is extremely snappy and entirely mouse controlled with no long animations or walking so you can solve them in like five seconds.

Really? Because the hexacubes is the worst puzzle for me. I despite doing those and I've been avoiding doing them as much I can

None of them are complicated enough to be described as "puzzles" until the second round of hexanexus where they ask you to orient the marked cube a particular way. Until then it's mindless busywork.

NeonPunk posted:Really? Because the hexacubes is the worst puzzle for me. I despite doing those and I've been avoiding doing them as much I can That's pretty wild. The vast majority of them can be solved in two or three moves. Everyone has puzzles they don't get, though. It took me an embarrassingly long time to grasp the compasses.

I got the compasses in theory but in practice I just pressed buttons like a monkey until it all slid into place, no thinking needed.

The compasses without multiple "move two rings at once" movement options are simple, but my brain refuses to process the rest so yeah, monkey time. They're probably mostly solvable in like 5 moves, but I end up taking 50.

I thought the second round of hexnex was easier than the first because they gave you fewer things to mess with but none of the hexnex puzzles were particularly difficult. Also I got a text today from Pela asking me how to sober up quick because she'd been on an all-night bender and had to produce a script for her fanfic today.

Echoing that the minecart puzzles were the furthest thing from difficult, just annoyingly clunky. Also it pissed me off I couldn't "cheat" some of the later ones by stacking more than one cart down a piece of track that clearly had more than enough room, or using a junction in the "wrong" direction as a holding point. Just poor design. Cubes are great, just a couple of key taps and they're done, same with the prisms. Compasses with multiple sets of paired-movement rings took a bit more effort, but they're still not what I would call "difficult". The worst part of them was waiting a million years for the "skiff arriving" animation to play after each one.

You line up the symbol, then you rotate the remaining face into place. Done. In fact I would say the 2nd set would actually have been superior as the "tutorial" on how to approach solving a rubik's cube puzzle

How's everyone liking JY? I've been doing moc runs and his performance is kinda disappointing so far. His aoe capabilities end up wasted as he chips on a boss for 10 turns when the other team cleared everything in 3. I'm starting to think I should gear up sushang or yanqing instead.

JY seems pretty okay but I don't have his LC and I also have a Seele. Won't be on my primary team but I am pretty confident he'll be fine as my second team DPS for a while.

they're doing the thing with pela that they did with fischl - they allude to a great feat at a young age (bachelor's degree without meeting minimum age requirements, and adventurer's guild admission at 14, respectively) without specifying how long ago that was, so their age is still ambiguous. pela's third character story also describes serval as "the slightly older woman" and serval's like 40 so, who knows

The lazers were easy till the very last one. The lines/shapes one was similar but easier. The train car was easy, the last one was kind of annoying maybe? The hexacubes were incredibly fun and I blitzed through all of them, and did them a second time within an hour.

I feel bad about my JY, I will just swap him out with a support one that does 3x more damage. I just unlocked Memory of Chaos but I think I am quite a ways from even beating the first stage, my relics and light cones are pretty bad, I definitely cannot equip a second team well enough right now.

I have six decently invested 70s at this point and a BP worth of mats but otherwise no whaling and things were getting rough without a second healer. Does MoC reset rewards every week then?

Yeah I’ve found my Serval and Seele better but that’s probably because my LC and relics all suck right now. His stand does a ton of damage but he doesn’t really seem to do much for me til the stand attacks or he ults. Found him more useful on bosses to be honest than normal fights. I guess I should maybe look up anything at all about stats and building characters since I’m at 45 trailblazer tho I haven’t had any issues beating up to word 6 SU and around 13 of the first set of train mirror portal thing stages. Have 8 characters at or around 60 (limited by how many xp items I have) but will definitely be focusing only on one team for a while now I think.

The string and cube puzzles are the easiest/most enjoyable for me. I had a couple minutes of frustration when the cubes upgraded to have the emblem on one face, but only because I was interpreting the objective wrong and trying to rotate the emblem around in a way that was not possible. The laser puzzles are good but they get a little wrinklier once they introduce the ability to slide some of the pylons around. Not frustrating but you have to visualize more steps. Minecarts were easy but tedious as mentioned. The dial puzzles became annoying once they start rotating multiple rings at once. Ain't nobody got brain space to remember which direction and how far multiple rings will rotate each time you touch it.

I had hard time with moc 5 until I got bailu few days ago. Healer on each side helps a lot. Missed the third star on moc 5 by one turn and I could probably get the moc 7 survival star so 18* should be doable, next time.

String puzzles were all too simple. Mine carts would have been better if the controls were less slow and fiddly. Dials were too easy if the rings didn't affect each other and too hard if they did. Lasers were good. The Hexanexus is the best.

wish they had gone for it a bit more with the hexanexus puzzles. the idea was cool but of the 30? in the game all but a couple of them are solved in two moves, and most of them are essentially the exact same two moves. thinking about the puzzles reminded me how the original beta had some "puzzles" that were basically just have the right elemental party member in your party. kinda glad they got rid of those they were really bad.
