Kalenden posted:Anything for Thea: The Awakening? Play on a high custom difficulty to get extra God XP (and have more fun). I'd suggest the 12 card limit, no reshuffles, and furious enemy aggression, as the first one won't affect you if you're not already doing well and the latter two make the game faster. I say this as someone who doesn't usually like hard 4Xes. You can't see resources until you research the one below them. Cooking food doubles (or more) the food value, while making it lighter and increasing variety, so get cooking, even if it's just turning your meat into jerky.

On the other hand, if you accept that everything after level 5/6 is only supposed to be researched with microtransactions, the normal research and resource progression in the game is pretty balanced. Don't cheat resources until you finish chapter 2. Also, don't expect chapter 2 to close up all the loose ends. It's less frustrating if you know that.

Fat Samurai posted:Thanks for this. Couple of questions: Specific responses (don't put these in the wiki): Yes, kinda. The default town gives you resources for 4 foods (veggie, build pasture for meat, cook meat for jerky and bigos), expandable to 6 if you develop an herbalist's hut. Hammers aren't great, especially late game. In general, hammers are good early game, swords are good early and mid game, and late game axes and pikes are more useful, mostly because enemy health inflation. Nope. Farming enemies will mostly get you mediocre to bad weapons and resources. Harvesting and events are how you get the good stuff. Silk shirts are pretty good for research, with a fairly common resource. Don't forget to recycle them to get back some of the silk if you need it. General help: - Blunt damage is nice early game, but late game the scary enemies have enough health it's not worth it. Piercing damage is always good. - Not all difficulty modifiers are created equal. Larger map size will greatly decrease your available resources, while more aggressive enemies mostly means you spend less move points hunting spiders. - Don't trust the encounter difficulty. 3 skull dwarves will wreck you when 3 skull boars aren't a problem. - Shielding is worth more than armor. Early game especially, one point of shielding is worth 2 or more points of armor. Later on, enemies will kill you in one or two hits, even with a ton of armor, making the ratio get closer to one. - If you have early access to coal or wicker, research accessories. You can tear down all the items you find with amber in them to make + gather and crafting items, while giving you tons of research. - Cooked food items with the same name but different ingredients count as different food items.

Zaodai posted:Diablo 3 isn't designed the same way as two, so I guess it somewhat makes sense. Less so than just not playing, but playing on Normal (or Hard/Expert, anything under Torment) for one story mode playthrough to get to level cap is a more succinct experience than playing through just normal in D2, as D2 really was designed with the idea that one playthrough was all three difficulties, and you only "really" defeated the bosses in Hell difficulty. ...what? Diablo 3 is WAY more based on repeated playthroughs than 2 was. In one go through on normal of each, assuming you haven't played it before and aren't following a guide (we're talking launch 3, not what it has become), you end up about level 30. In 2, that lets you begin to access the highest level abilities. In 3, you have half the skill runes. Luggage posted:On topic, I've just passed the halfway point in Nier. Any hints which weapons to upgrade for the rest of the game and endings B through D? Also, are there any essential word or materials drops I can miss?

FFT: aside from the wiki stuff, there's an early fight where you're given the choice of save dude or kill baddies. Kill baddies is objectively superior, as it is both easier and gives you a reward. After that first one, the save option usually gives a better reward.

DoubleNegative posted:Honestly, it's best to adopt a zero tolerance policy for troublemakers of any sort. Get into the habit of checking your staff roster every time you return to the helicopter and boot any troublemakers straight away. They make your units worse by sending people to the med bay to recover, and it can be completely avoided by just firing them. You'll have a huge list of people waiting to replace them anyway. If this gets boring, though, stop. You'd probably get more research by playing more instead of fiddling around as the head of HR for a thousand plus guy company.

Jak 2 and 3 are much more "modern" feeling than J&D; the first game is much more designed like a PS1 or N64 era game, but with more power and memory so levels can be bigger etc. Still Jak 2 does not gently caress around, and could use about 2-3 times as many check points.

Oh dear me posted:You get research points by crafting. Always be crafting. (Cooking food counts, though not as much as better stuff or buildings.) Depending on what materials you have plenty of, it can be worth researching 1 handed swords for example just so you can churn out crappy swords with cheap materials for the research points. This bit isn't quite right. Crafting gives you research points dependent on (among other things) how advanced the materials used to craft are; most materials you can harvest without researching give 0 RP. That includes all food. Other Thea tips: The Herbalists hut does, in fact, gather herbs equal to the added healing per turn. Food with herbs cooked in count as herbs for most events requiring herbs. Food with the same name and icon but different ingredients (ie, jerky of meat/meat vs jerky of meat/bird meat) is a completely different item for all mechanics. Clicking on items in the after-combat screen lets you quickly dismantle them; since the weight of an item is usually the sum of its components (except for artifacts/jewelry and quality), and dismantling gives you back a random fraction of the materials, anything you know you aren't going to use should be dismantled immediately to save weight. Basic bone is heavy and nigh-useless, and should be the first thing discarded for weight Stuff discarded on the map stays on that tile forever (you can see the boxes left) assuming nothing spawns on top of it Some materials have hidden bonuses when used on jewelry as both materials. Try pure Topaz or Monster Bone. Materials are only visible on the map after you research the tier below them. The autoresolve is actually fairly decent. Don't be afraid to use it against easy encounters. Shielding is almost always better than armor, especially in the early game Unreal_One fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Sep 18, 2018 |

Thanks whoever did the wiki magic for Thea. Could you add these? The quoted one has been fixed so it's accurate now.Oh dear me posted:You get research points by crafting. Always be crafting. Depending on what materials you have plenty of, it can be worth researching 1 handed swords for example just so you can churn out crappy swords with cheap materials for the research points. Thea is kind of like a roguelike; a few bad calls and some bad luck can leave you in a nigh-unwinnable situation. Don't be afraid to quit after losing your whole adventuring party. When crafted into armor, weapons, and shields, gems will give a random stat bonus that isn't shown in the recipe. Found items don't always have this, for some reason.

Daemon X Machina The Factory is the main way of changing money into new parts; the Shop generally only sells copies of the parts you develop plus processor upgrades. Developing equipment at the factory uses up the base component, takes one mission, and gives you the developed item. This isn't actually Armored Core; equipment sells for about 10% of its purchase price, and you can't buy it back. Lab Upgrades stack, its not choose one like the icons make it look. You will need about 2-3 Legion parts of each armor to develop everything, so if you already have all the parts an enemy has, go for one of those.

Daemon X Machina: The ice cream clue should probably specify (after 20 ice creams and Rank C) Optimal range will ~double your damage with most weapons, but ~triples it with pistols and sniper rifles. Blades have this stat hidden. Much of the content is hidden in the coop modes, but all coop missions are reasonably solo-able The best way to get rare/3 slot equipment and the only way to get level 4/5 attachments is Exploration missions, the purple console. Slot Expansion attachments can be glitched to go with any item in the same category by sorting attachments.

CaptainPsyko posted:And then, to make the above tip even more useful, once you get the double/triple shot upgrades, you can put two or more of the 'same' weapon on your wheel, and load up 2/3 arrows on each one before entering a fight. Combine that with the bullet time talents to really maximize your opening nukes on tough opponents. This tip is too power-gamey to really fit the wiki, I think. It's never necessary and asks for a lot of menuing for doing slightly more DPS for the first 5% of the fight.

FF7 Remake - If you press the charge button during Barret's recovery animation from his basic attack, Overcharge will recharge for free. There has to be a better way to phrase that, though. Also: - At several points you get better or different awards based on how many sidequests you finish. - Some chapters will have side/quests jobs available. Doing them all will unlock extra goodies/more cut-scenes down the line. seem redundant to me; I think the top one is better since some cutscenes require completing chapters while skipping sidequests

Is there any similar line for MGSV Phantom Pain? You can completely ignore most side ops that aren't marked as special, the legendary ____, or a translator. A lot of the main ops in Afghanistan are very difficult to get S rank on until you get tools from later in the game.

Graveyard Keeper needs some clean up. These: - Blue xp mostly comes from researching body parts and such on the church basement's study desk. If you need science just make a bunch of paper out of corpse skin and pump those into the desk. Later the best source is to make piles of medium tier stone grave markers. - If you need blue xp in the early/mid game, make a bunch of glass or stone grave decorations. They may only give a couple of xp each, but the materials for them should be easy to get large quantities of. - Blue points: you can start generating them slowly when you upgrade your graveyard to finer quality stone decorations. You can also buy a book from the Astrologer once every week for another source of blue. It’s expensive enough you don’t want to rely on it, but cheap enough you can afford to, especially since you can buy just one a week, and a better graveyard means more sermon money. Are all variations on the same hint, maybe condense to - Blue xp mostly comes from researching body parts and such on the church basement's study desk.

In fact, traveling to meet certain NPCs is the biggest time sink. Leave early. - Remember there is no real fail state, any pressure you feel is self imposed, even the crops don’t need tending.

To get that, you have to pay like 50s in taxes one time. I think that is about the only thing that will actually prevent you from being able to do something for a time. Everything else is going to be at worst having to grind out some xp to unlock some skills you haven’t done yet. - The first church upgrade (opening it) means no more free corpses, but that’s more a relief than a problem. The Donkey leaves a little gift behind to help you get started and the hippie east of town sells what else you need. As for the second upgrade, the rear end in a top hat doesn’t tell you about the citizenship requirement until it’s too late. It’s not a fail state but it will prevent you from further sermons.

Mr.PayDay posted:What is the best approach? Do as many side missions asap or focus on the main missions and farm money and gather ressources? Stun and fulton many NPCs to recruit them? Phantom Pain offers a huge variety of viable playstyles, but the "expected" route for most missions is to start stealthy but be willing to go loud/retreat and ecig for alarm to pass if you're caught. Generally, the worst soldier you can Fulton is better than an empty slot on motherbase, so vacuum up everybody. If you call in a resupply, you get a restock of fultons. If a sideop looks special (like having the word "legendary" in it) you should probably do it immediately. The numbered ones are just to fill out the open world. The wiki page is kind of a mess, and could probably be sorted into "Mission" "Controls" and "Motherbase"

Armored Core 6 Controls: Mouse and keyboard is a perfectly viable control setup. If you want to stay locked on, don't even touch the camera stick. On a controller, go ahead and swap boost to a stick click and assault boost to a button. Accidentally activating assault boost could kill you, while an accidental boost is safe. Bosses: Pulse weaponry does bonus damage against pulse armor. The stat that you are looking for is PA Interference. The first time this is relevant your strongest options for that are the starting sword and one kind of pulse gun. Unless the boss is dodging/blocking your attacks, cannons and grenade launchers are probably better options than missiles. If you die to a boss you can enter assembly and redesign your AC without redoing the level. This is also the reason to not sell things, since you can't buy from this menu. Exploration: About half of the levels that have part chests have more than one part. You get nothing if you quit a level, so you can't just find a part or data log and bail.
