That's okay she's at a place filled to the brim with medical personnel.

Combat is only too fast in single player because they went way too ham with the tech/lord buffs and now it would take a total rebalance to bring it back in line. Missile damage, charge bonus, weapon strength, and melee attack ends up with way too many buffs and things just melt like butter with defensive stats like melee defense and armor not really keeping up in the arms race. Only when the AI accidentally stacks ward save does the combat slow down, but it's super rare, and only reserved for Lords/heroes.

In multiplayer you definitely see long scrappy fights lasting 30+ minutes where units rally multiple times and are all exhausted flailing their weapons at each other impotently.

If the combat were slowed down even further you'd get hour-long grind fests and I don't think people would enjoy that. Having played and spectated Starcraft 2 for half a decade, the sweet spot for a multiplayer match is 15-30 minutes. Only a few people enjoy when matches go super long. The problem is single player matches are like 5-10 minutes long in the late game, which is too short. It's only fun to watch stuff melt to Shades the first dozen times. Then it gets repetitive and boring.

If I were in charge of rebalancing single player I'd try to add ward save bonuses across every tech tree to make units more resilient in the late game, as well as add techs that increase missile block chance or missile resistance. Nerfing every +dmg bonus would be way too much of a balancing hassle, but adding a bit of ward save and missile protection to defensive techs would not be an insurmountable change, and would make a world of difference. How come archers get 2x or 3x better at shooting things by the end game, but my shielded spearmen never get better at blocking said arrows?

They're delicious. They taste kind of like oysters but have the texture and bite of squid.

Or made an alter that was loreful and properly tuned, like a Kroos alter for example.

The fact that Chen in a bikini with a watergun is somehow way stronger than her normal state is ludicrous. It just feels so wrong.

Rosa is absolutely incredible on this Annihilation. Put her on the center tile S3 and she can shred all the drones before they get close, and about 1/3 of the ground mobs just by herself.

There's a difference between breaking up a monopoly, as happened in USA in the early 20th century, and terrorizing your upper class to keep them in line, as is happening in China now.

One encourages healthy competition in your society. The other makes your upper class brainstorm ways to leave your country ASAP.

Russia didn't exactly have many options for ports back then.

Wait until they have to deal with year-round mosquitoes.

Welcome to any big country, and really just humanity in general.

Weird take, but I'm hoping it's delayed just because Final Fantasy XIV expansion is launching this winter, and I want some breathing room because I'm beyond hyped for both games. Selfish, but it is what it is.

Drive, to me, was very good at building tension and mystery through its cinematography and long periods of no dialogue. Once you know where the movie is headed, it’s no longer as interesting. I’m glad I saw it in theaters with 0 knowledge of what the movie was even about.

Yeah but long limbs make people look like elegant supermodels. Big foreheads make people look like Area 51 aliens!

All the shows and events in one central location. In other cities you can be watching a big concert and walk out into miles of nothing, then get stuck in traffic. In Vegas you’re right back on the Strip.

Number 1 thing is blind prog. I don’t just mean for hardcore difficult content either. Blind prog day 1 for ex trials and 24-man trials is super fun. Dissecting mechanics as you wipe, watching everyone run around like headless chickens. It’s all hilarious to me. It’s never the same past week 1. Even having half the party know what’s going on changes the vibe, and there’s always guides to fall back on past week 2.

Can maybe solve this with big traffic mirrors. Saves space and doesn’t cut parking spaces.

She’s so worth it. Gameplay wise she is both powerful and unique with no real direct comparisons.

JP is 3 wipes = disband. So on JP The mentors would expect a clear and if 3 wipes happen everyone votes abandon. In NA you have saint mentors who do stay for the full 1 hour lockout, but it’s not reasonable to expect everyone to be that type of person.

Stormblood is a bit more flexible. I feel monk, samurai, and ninja all fit Stormblood well.

When you get to that ARR scene in The Waking Sands. I’m the type of RPG player who talks to every NPC available after every major quest to see if there’s a change in dialogue. So when they just kill off a bunch of the side characters so abruptly then follow it up with poignant scenes, I knew that the writers loved their craft and the story is something to stick around for in the long term.

Mosquitos can bite through many shirts. Their stingers are thin enough to get through fabric if the threads aren’t dense enough. However I’ve never had them get through 2 layers of clothing.

I think having trapper specialists would make the gramophone stages cheesier (easier)

Hey I’m one too! Ask me anything about Afghanistan or COVID. I got all the solutions!

Good luck producing another hit like Genshin Impact in 20 years if you have an entire generation who don’t game. China was set on becoming a major player in game development worldwide. Good going CCP. So sad.
