Dr. Fetus posted:Actually I found out that the Farmers do attack under one condition. Turns out when Scylla is really low on health (like 2% remaining), they will try to kill steal from you! So much for that plan! Looks like some developer tried to create the worst possible conditional drop in the entire series - and succeeded spectecularly. "Kill with curse damage" is the worst condition as is - but to put it in a sea quest where you have no control over some of your party members is just evil. And then you get one variation of this quest with three members that don't attack so there is a sliver of hope... but they switch behavior when you are in range for the condition. That's advanced saturday morning cartoon villiany. Whoever designed this condition and all around it probably started their working day by kicking some puppies. There is no reason to play dumb games that were made just to be dumb - I am fully ok with you drowning Scylla in Formaldehyde or hammering her into the floor.

Cassandra, Alice, Sidney How do you even pitch a tent on a ship? Does Pale Horse nail it to your deck? And wouldn't the wind and the movement due to the waves just tear it down again? Is it a special sea tent? Farmers and their crazy tricks, I tell you.

Dr. Fetus posted:Alice, Smith, Sidney, Fang, and Akatsuki This party reminds me of that shooting range scene in Men in Black. First you have Smith - a killer robot with flaming fists bent on destroying all in his way. But really, he is just a janitor-bot with a minor heat-sink problem. Next there is Fang - a savage from the jungle commanding giant snakes and (as we have learned in EO2U) carnivorous elephants. But really, he is just a nice guy that likes animals. And all his friends are tame and friendly, too. Then there is Sidney - a crazy lunatic that blows up everything around him with a weapon bigger than his torso. But really, he is just a monster hunter with a lust for dragons that sometimes gets a bit overexcited. Since Yggdrasil Labyrinths are so dangerous he is basically a hero. And lastly there is Akatsuki - a literal assassin, trained for murder and deception from a young age. But really, he just likes helping others and will use even his ninja arts to do use. Since they are the only thing he learned it would be a waste to not use them. But then there is Alice. What is this little girl doing hanging out with all these questionable figures in a dark place like the Cyclopean Haunt? Clearly, she is the most dangerous of them all.

I'd say now is the time for those that struggle. Akatsuki, Alice and Smith will need all the help they can get, I would imagine. And since they will most likely not play a huge part in any post-game boss fights this might be one of the last chances to show off what they got. But those that can carry their weight easily might just be able to wait a little while. So a mix? If that's a valid option... werbear fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Feb 4, 2017 |

I'm surprised the Gatekeeper only has 20% resistance to confusion. My favorite tactic is to just use the Wildling's elephant to skip the Tenchi Souha Sho turn. Disperse will still happen afterwards but I can not remember if is was on the third turn or only after the Gatekeeper snaps out of confusion. And since the Gatekeeper that appears after Focus is a new enemy he has no accumulated resistances so confusion stays effective. Still, 20% means I was getting pretty lucky. It always stuck before Tenchi Souha Sho came out. Omobono posted:Why is HP cannon so awful? Bad AGI plus leg bind equals a lot of misses. EOIII tried the whole "slow but powerful" character archetype but since AGI is a pretty bloated stat it did not work out that well. Even with Proper Form slow characters miss just so drat often...

I promise that this will be painless. ...Maybe.
Ha! Fat chance of that!

Does the Dragonfly and/or Tear Apart become stronger as people die or with the number of attacks? Because after the back row reduction Fang actually takes about the same damage as Sidney despite Wildlings having about 25% more VIT than Arbalists.

Looking at the numbers everyone indeed took the right amount of damage - except Alice who just like that decided to take less. But last update she took the correct amount when the Dragonfly hit her with a normal attack. So there is only one explanation: Alice is hording a secret stash of Stonards and drinks them when no one is looking. Constantly exploding monsters is finally taking its toll and the only way for her to cope is to take drugs. Poor girl needs an intervention. The only actual explanation I could think of is that Farmer's might be hard coded to take less damage from area attacks. They are aweful at taking hits and as opposed to Arbalists or Shoguns they are not really worth protecting. So maybe someone wanted to give them some way to survive...

It's right before Akatsuki and Smith get switched around but judging from the sneak peak at the end Kraken is all about murdering your party. Or can he also essentially waste a turn by mixing up your members? Anyways: MEGAQUEEN, Asteria, Fang

Ah, restrictive post-game bosses. My least favorite part of any Etrian Odyssey game... So they should get the attention they deserve - in this case with Asteria, Smith, Faye Two things I noticed in this update: Cassandra posted:My apologies, I too busy dealing with tidal waves. Dr. Fetus posted:It provides a 10% boost to both HP and TP, and increases the minimum and maximum amount of Limit gained per turn to 3 and 17. I don’t get this for Scott, because I want him to have the ultimate Rapier instead. But the screenshot says the ultimate gun has SPD forges!?

Am I overlooking some mechanic or did you push out Charlotte's Berserker Vow in your first fight? If I'm counting correctly she should have had four buffs used on her (BV, Attack Order, Pop Flares and Prevent Order in that order) before any of them had the chance to run out or got used up.

Dr. Fetus posted:Only Attack Order got pushed out. It was the only buff that I didn't refresh, so it got counted as the oldest one. Refreshing a buff causes it to be counted as a new buff in EO3. So that's it. Did this got changed in later titles ore way I always paranoid about my buff order for no reason?

That's good to know. I always made sure to apply lower priority buffs first but if reapplying the strong buffs keeps them safe I don't have to be so paranoid about ordering - especially when if comes to area targeted vs. single target buffs.

Someone on the development team must have suddenly remembered that Etrian Odyssey is inspired by Wizardry so the quota of annoying hazards you can not see had to be met...

Sidney, Akatsuki, Asteria Sidney came to slay dragons (and has composite damage), Akatsuki has a new toy and Asteria's elemental damage is relevant once more.

So. Much. Fish. I found it pretty annoying to even map towards all the towns on the sea chart because of the step limit. Trying to hunt down schools of fish with that limitation sounds even worse.

That was almost two floors in one update. Although you tankfully cut out most of the actual tedium of B24F. At least you get properly rotated on the spinners so you can still keep track of where you are looking even if it gets harder. Iirc in Wizardry you did not get rotated, you just looked into a different direction immediatly. With walls that are "drawn" with two lines - so most of the time they all looked the same...

The Abyssal God is actually secretly reading this thread and has now prepared for your cheese tactic. It wanted to vote for "Fair and Square" but couldn't make it past the captcha - and now you are suffering its revenge.  On a somewhat related note: how would you go about resetting the RNG in a DS game? From what I gather all "random" events will always be the same if you take the same actions from loading up a file until they happen - so do you just run around a bit in the first stratum or is more work involved to change your seed?

SimplyUnknown1 posted:Oh Akatsuki. I'm honestly not sure if he just plain panicked or if he was sincerely trying to give good advice. Either way, not what Alice wants to hear before you go and risk your life fighting a death god. Akatsuki is too good a Ninja to just walk into a death flag like this. I am looking forward to the grand finale of this adventure.

The Alice solo kill was awesome but of all the kills you have shown this last one is my favorite - using Knighthood to turn the Abyssal God's input reads against it. I know it's just a programming quirk pulling something like this is almost JoJo-esque. Together with the muscle sorceress it made for a great fight - and a worthy final for a great LP.
