Dunno about the disconnecting problem, but if it's like my 8bitdo, the part that snapped off the trigger is actually a cover that you can snap back on (or just play without).

took a year off from Elden Ring, came back and realized I’d been beating myself stupid trying to press into the Haligtree zone before doing Mountaintops of the Giants or Farum Azula or the other Capitol, or Mogh, or most of the dragons.

also light roll rules, I don’t know why I was using medium roll for so long, I’m so fast!

the thing about Haligtree is if you can get to the midpoint bonfire where you're fighting the golden armored guys then that's a really good farming spot

I need to look up where the speed-leveling bird grace is. Participating in the rune economy is starting to suck. I'm actually losing 3/4ths of a level worth of runes learning these new zones 15 hours in. I need vigor. I need so much more vigor, but noooooo I wanted to 1hand the curved great sword so I pushed str/dex to 18/17 first and I NEED SO MUCH MORE VIGOR

I've issues with ER but that's a thing I really like, bosses will give you 95% of the runes you'll ever need

if you remember to use the rune boosting items just after beating them you'll just naturally overlevel

yeah. it adds some really cool prebaked scenarios like the xof invading motherbase and poo poo. and wandering patrols. you can set up bases to your hearts content to then gently caress with, but that's a lot of effort.

i prefer kiefer snake to hader snake and yeah... it sucks that he has so few lines. but also it sorta works with the plot. he generally seems confused and quiet because he doesnt know what the gently caress. in my head canon. ground zeroes kiefer was way chattier.

last time I played MGS5 i got more into the fob system. dolphin diving the high tier fobs is pretty fun for a bit.

you ever play survive?

Survive was... ok, provided that you have some friends to coop with

also dont expect it to be an MGS game and judge it on its own merits

FOBs ruled. Theyre endless random base invasions that give the best rewards in the game. Cant believe so many gamers bitched about them

Didn't MGS5 have fob insurance so that if your based got attacked they would reimburse you what you lost but you had to pay real money for it? More games should do this imo

yes and it was a massive scam since there was a limit to how much can get stolen and it was very easy to replace the lost materials

the bigger bullshit with the konami bucks is that you needed those to get a second FOB and some of the later unlocks required that to get them

there's a bunch of checks and balances on fobbin. worst case is you tend to get about as many times as you hit others and need to recruit more dudes. also there are mods which put S+/S++ recruits throughout the game which you can fulton. normally you have to do the weekly events for fobcoin for them. but that's stupid and modders fixed it

I just got to the one grace beyond that point, gently caress that space. The gutter down at the bottom with five royal revenants and three blighted crystal people, then RIGHT after the grace behind the ballistae and the SECOND putrid avatar there are THREE MORE of them.

Anyway I left that for now. Just fed Mogh his poo poo for a second time using comet azure and the no MP for spells thing and burned his rear end down before he could count to zero, lmao.

Gotta finish Azula now I guess, keep chipping away at the Haligtree.

iirc you get enough 'free' mb coin per week to buy all the extra fobs long before you'd actually finish the real time required to research everything. it's a very stupid system, but especially because they didn't even set it up right for paypigs. it's bizarre

ya but you get a pathetic amount each week. something like 5-10 when you need like 600 for a new base

80 per week at the very least if you log in on those days. i think you get more from the events and virtual fite stuff. i think they either upped the drip or cut fob costs at some point
