00:20 <RichardMist> Interesting
00:23 * Cepheid reads some DOOM Eternal patch notes. Notices one fix. "Fixed a bug that caused loading screens to remain at 99% complete for longer than expected."
00:30 <Ali> Fallout 4 never fixed a bug like that
00:30 <Ali> There is a rare chance the game will infinite hang on the load screen
00:30 <Cepheid> Yeah, but in this case the phrasing "for longer than expected" means that it didn't infinite hang.
00:30 <Cepheid> Something just held it up is all.
00:31 <Cepheid> In which case, it's not so much a fix so much as "an optimization to loading."

00:40 <Cepheid> Yeah I'm not feeling too energetic myself.
00:49 * Cepheid ponders poking at GE3 just to set up character.
00:54 <Cepheid> Another time, I guess. Parents are home, and I'm not really in the mood to drag my PC upstairs now.

01:05 <Cepheid> Oh, by the by, ADra. Safi'jiva, the final phase. The gas eruptions can be used to induce a knock-over. Every 3 uses of the gas will cause Safi to fall over.
01:06 <Cepheid> For obvious reasons, people advise doing the third blast when Safi's in supercritical.

01:11 <ADragonDreaming> nice
01:19 <Cepheid> https://i.redd.it/lp9ftedvdj661.jpg
01:21 * Cepheid takes some asthma meds.
01:22 <Cepheid> ... I can't remember which of these my doctor said I can take a double dose of if I feel the need to.
01:22 <Cepheid> Symbicort or Pulmicort. Hum.
01:23 <Cepheid> Ah. Pulmicort, most likely. It's limited to 2400mcg/day.
01:24 <Cepheid> Hum. Seems the max dose for the symbicort is 640/18mcg daily.
01:25 <Cepheid> However, of the two, that's the lower limit. And the pulmicort alone seems to have a greater effect than just the symbicort alone. So if I double one up, it should be the pulmicort.
01:32 <ADragonDreaming> rogus fish train
01:32 <Cepheid> Seems like something I'd do.
01:56 * Ali wonders if Schism is ok, haven't heard from them in a few days now on here. Did work finally break them?
01:57 <Cepheid> Dunno.
01:57 <Cepheid> But his Discord status says she is in the hospital.
01:57 <Cepheid> But that they're fine.
01:58 <Ali> Hospital.... wonder what happened.
01:58 <Cepheid> She's been under a lot of stress from work, so I'm suspecting a sliiiiight mental episode.
01:58 <Ali> I've just got lots of questions about seablock
02:00 <Ali> Its a bit confusing on how to get the ores up to a reasonable level to even think of getting any of the bottles automated
02:03 <Cepheid> Gonna be honest, the way you segued into that made this whole situation sound much worse.

07:24 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
07:25 * Ali flops over the ConfusionRift
07:25 * ConfusionRift huggles Ali.
08:03 * ConfusionRift flops so tired.
08:10 * Ali isn't tired, just forever lonely
08:10 <Ali> Oh glim glam is back
08:10 * Ali boops the Starlight_Glimmer on the nosie
08:14 <Cepheid> Gonna be one of them nights where I have lots of trouble sleeping.
08:14 <Cepheid> Something about the environment feels off. Body is hinting towards temperature, possibly humidity.
08:16 <Cepheid> That and heartburn.
08:23 <Ali> You know, why did they move the UI for weapons to the left side of the screen?
08:25 <ConfusionRift> Which game?
08:25 <Ali> Factorio 1.1
08:25 <ConfusionRift> Did... did they move it?
08:25 <Ali> Yes, to the left hand side of the screen
08:27 <ConfusionRift> Hmmm, not a clue. Probably in one of the fact logs.
08:31 <Cepheid> From the looks of things, it was moved to the left-hand side to avoid an issue with the weapons panel shifting around.
08:31 <Cepheid> What made this become an issue was an addition.
08:32 <Cepheid> The UI will now show both the player character weapons, *AND* the weapons of the vehicle.
08:32 <Cepheid> While they could have just kept it on the right-hand side, there are issues there.
08:32 <Cepheid> Namely, the expandable pallete of buttons on the quickbars.
08:33 <Ali> Oh right, when in vehicles it just overlayed over your weapons panel
08:33 <Cepheid> If that had been expanded, and the player got into, say, a spidertron, the combined vehicle and character weapons panels would likely overlap with the quickbar buttons.
08:33 <Cepheid> So, to avoid that, put it on the side of which the quickbar does not expand towards.
08:33 <ConfusionRift> Oh, there's a cutscene... and starts similarly to Kastorio.
08:34 <Cepheid> Yeah, that's been around since 1.0.0.
08:35 <ConfusionRift> Has it? I don't remember cutscens being in 1.0. Then again, it's been a while.
08:35 <Cepheid> Yeah, it started with 1.0.
08:36 <ConfusionRift> Oh... and Steam changed a bit.
08:36 <Ali> Yeah they added the ship crash to make the begining of freeplay not feel so different.
08:37 <Cepheid> ConfusionRift, I am going to assume that you've been busy for a few weeks, as a good chunk of the changes to Steam and the like happened two weeks ago.
08:38 <ConfusionRift> Unless it was the case of me accidentally skipping updates, nothing really changed till just now. Updated yesterday.
08:39 <ConfusionRift> Also, said noticed changes is basically a slight interface change on the file window, is all.
08:39 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
08:41 <Cepheid> You know what I find hilarious? It's well after exams, and I'm still getting reports of TAs grading assignments.
08:43 <Cepheid> Officially, we were supposed to get our marks back before the final day of classes. This, of course, does not happen because the university employs (usually) grad students, who have an excessive workload of their own.
08:45 <Finwe> Good forenoon, everypony.
08:45 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.
08:45 <Finwe> o7
08:45 <ConfusionRift> Of course. Everyone's basically a student, so everyone's busy.
08:45 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)

08:46 * Finwe doffs his hat and expects Lumindia_ to heck.
08:46 <Finwe> And Ali doff over me. o3o
08:46 <Golden> Hm
08:49 <ConfusionRift> That must suck though. You're constantly between studying and doing some more work similar to studying.
08:49 <Cepheid> Not to mention having to answer a thousand questions from students.
08:50 <Ali> What does this clearly obvious thing do?
08:51 * ConfusionRift watches everything blow up.
08:51 <ConfusionRift> Let me guess. Was there a red button? :P
08:53 * Finwe presses the red button.

08:56 * ConfusionRift hears another explosion.
08:56 * Cepheid arrives in the room on a cart, crispified by Safi'jiva.
08:57 <Cepheid> https://i.imgur.com/DNBsLYz.png This here, ConfusionRift? This is agony. What happened? Safi'jiva used it's ultimate attack, the party survived due to the crags. It then proceeded to use the ultimate attack A SECOND TIME without creating new crags.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Ouchies...
08:58 <Cepheid> Full wipe, as a result.
08:58 <ConfusionRift> Jeez.
08:58 <Cepheid> Not a bug, either.
08:59 <ConfusionRift> Of course not. :P
08:59 <Cepheid> Apparently, this is intentional. Very, *VERY* rarely, it'll do the attack twice in a row. Alternatively, you can actually stagger all the attacks that generate crags, and Safi'jiva will then proceed to use the ultimate.
09:00 <Cepheid> The latter basically being a player-induced wipe.
09:01 <Cepheid> Fortunately, losing a fight against Safi'jiva is not the end of the world.
09:01 <Cepheid> Being a siege, what matters is how much damage you end up doing with respect to part breaks and siege mechanics.
09:03 <Cepheid> It's a special case of "Don't actually kill it ASAP."
09:04 <Cepheid> On one hand, yes, you want to drain the energy as quickly as possible. On the other hand, you also want to break as many different parts at least once throughout a siege.
09:04 <Cepheid> Your rewards are based on points collected from breaking parts.
09:04 <ConfusionRift> Hmmmm.
09:05 <Cepheid> Ultimately, everyone WILL get rewards, regardless of time spent participating.
09:05 <Cepheid> A slay results in everyone in the gathering hub immediately getting 400 points.
09:07 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, when any group in the gathering hub breaks a part for the first time, you get a small amount of points. This stacks on top of the points you'd get if you are present for breaking a part in a hunt.
09:07 <Cepheid> Basically, works like Kulve Taroth.
09:08 <Cepheid> Advice? Part Breaker, Weakness Exploit.
09:09 <Cepheid> ... And a metric ton of healing items.
09:09 <Cepheid> Especially lifepowders and dusts of life because no one ever seems to actually bring regular potions or mega potions.
09:09 <ConfusionRift> 0_0;
09:10 * Cepheid actually spent a majority of their Safi hunting today as a healer.
09:10 <Cepheid> Wide-range 5 + Free Meal 3 + Speed Eating 3 for fast item usage.
09:12 <Cepheid> And some players seem to have terminal "Eh, I'm fine." level stupidity by continuing to fight with like, 30% of their health left for several minutes.
09:14 <Ali> But I r gud huntard, I can face da tanks everythings
09:15 <Cepheid> ADra at least is excusable in that area, in that he can actually tank things, and may be in the process of doing so because Safi does have tank mechanics involved.
09:16 <Cepheid> He'll eventually target the player that's done the most damage. Or shot a bunch of rocks into his face to force a target change.
09:19 <Ali> I hate bosses that do that
09:19 <Ali> Basically if you derp your aggro drop button you die.
09:21 <Cepheid> In this case, it's not as critical.
09:22 <Cepheid> But it does make things a bit tricky depending on who the target is, because the target may be a DPS that is trying to reach, say, a hind leg, wing, or tail.
09:22 <Cepheid> Which will cause Safi to just constantly turn around a lot, making things harder for the other players.

20:37 <RichardMist> And congratulations on buying a new game, Mr. Finwe!
20:37 * Finwe rips his Chaos Orb into pieces and scatters it over Ali's TNG collection.
20:38 * Ali has no Next Generation cards to destroy.
20:38 <Finwe> Ehh, MTG, not TNG.
20:38 <Ali> Eh, I'm not using those magic cards either
20:38 <Ali> Cause you know
20:38 <Ali> Can't play a card game with anyone
20:38 <Finwe> Why not?
20:38 <Ali> What else Finwe
20:39 <Ali> Also you ment Chaos Confetti, not Chaos Orb
20:39 <Finwe> True.
20:41 <Ali> I just miss playing magic
20:41 <Ali> Though with the last set they came out with, not sure I missed much
20:41 <Ali> Zendicar 3 really looked bleh
20:42 <RichardMist> Hoi Ali, how is your today?
20:42 * Ali had her mane cut
20:42 <Finwe> o3o
20:42 <RichardMist> oh
20:42 <Finwe> I had my mane cut last month.
20:44 <RichardMist> I think you look much better after cutting your mane, Ali
20:45 * Finwe coughs.
20:45 <Finwe> Would you say she looks cut-e?
20:46 * Ali feeds Finwe to the dungeon guardians
20:47 <Finwe> D:
20:47 <Dappled> Horse.
20:47 <RichardMist> Finwe, I can't appreciate anyone?
20:47 <Dappled> Ali's got this thing against being called cute.
20:48 *** Joins: FruitNibbler (Eogan@Pony-hs8fqj.dip0.t-ipconnect.de)
20:48 <Dappled> So naturally everyone calls her cute. As is tradition.
20:48 * Ali sits on Dappled and puffycheeks
20:48 <Finwe> :3
20:48 <Dappled> See?
20:50 *** Quits: Fn (Eogan@Pony-7vucrb.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
20:51 <RichardMist> Dappled, I knew that
20:51 * Finwe releases Dappled from under Ali's hindquarters.
20:51 * Dappled has ramen noodles for breakfast. Nom.
20:52 <RichardMist> Have a nice meal
20:52 * Ali sees another steam sale is going on, doesn't really see anything that interesting
20:53 <Finwe> I had lunch for breakfast, lunch and supper.
20:53 <Finwe> Tuna and mushroom pasta.
20:54 <Dappled> But Ali, the greatest game launched this year is on sale!
20:54 <Ali> Fallout 76?
20:54 * Dappled isn't being sarcastic. Hades is wonderful.
20:54 * Ali shot
20:55 <RichardMist> Oh no, not this Fallout76 The 2-nd
20:57 <Finwe> Dappled: Hmmh.
20:57 *** Quits: coppertiger5 (coppertiger@Pony-u7oomq.md.comcast.net) (Quit: @coppertiger on telegram)

20:57 <Dappled> Only thing in my steam library that I 100%
20:57 <Finwe> Critiquing Doge says, "Many corridors. Such story. Very mythological. 10/10 paws."
20:58 <Dappled> You can even pet the dog in Hades!
20:59 <Finwe> The dog? Kerberos?
20:59 <Dappled> Yush.
21:00 <Finwe> I still haven't got my new GPU, so no Hades for me yet.
21:00 <Finwe> Or I could actually play the Windows version.
21:00 * Dappled points out that this is the closes to All Tuesday we'll get till 2022.
21:01 * Dappled grumbles that Febuary 2nd 2022 doesn't fall on a tuesday.
21:02 <Finwe> The 10,000th day of September in 1993 will be in 24 days.
21:03 <Dappled> Wut?
21:03 <Finwe> That isn't a Tuesday, either.
21:03 <Dappled> This is oddly specific knowledge.
21:03 <Finwe> September of 1993 was declared to be "The Eternal September" because of certain events back then.
21:04 * Dappled doesn't remember 1993.
21:04 *** Quits: Ali (Ali@Pony-n3j093.iplsin.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
21:04 <Finwe> My sdate command says, "Tue Sep 9976 23:02:21 EET 1993".

21:04 <Finwe> Miss Ali.
21:05 <Ali> And a hard pc crash fun
21:05 * Finwe doffs his hat.
21:05 <Ali> Computer just froze up and wouldn't respond to anything anymore
21:05 <Finwe> I experienced something similar, but it was self-caused.
21:06 <Finwe> I managed to disable all USB ports in the settings.
21:06 <Ali> Well wonder how much factorio progress was lost
21:06 <Finwe> Leaving no way to communicate with the computer with only USB keyboards and mice at hand.
21:06 <Ali> Then again you can all get the game of the year...... CYBERPUNK
21:06 * Ali shot relentlessly due to bugs
21:07 <Finwe> Sony wasn't especially enthralled by the number of bugs in the game.
21:08 <Ali> Or just the sheer fact that it tanked FPS on the PS4
21:08 <Finwe> They obviously withdrew it from the PS store and refunded it to everyone who had bought it.
21:11 <Ali> Well of course, some of those bugs are hillarious
21:12 <Finwe> A friend of mine showed a picture of a car parked perfectly level on a slanted road.
21:17 <Ali> I loved the guys that ragdolled after getting shot in the streetcar chase
21:18 * Dappled prays for Angeline. She's being eaten by spreadsheets.
21:18 <Angeline> ?
21:18 <Dappled> Hearts of Iron.
21:19 <Angeline> Okay, but
21:19 <Angeline> You don't know my plans!
21:19 <Angeline> I am Ireland.
21:19 <Angeline> I am going pure naval.
21:19 <Angeline> (With no understanding of the game I might add)
21:19 <Angeline> My goal is simple
21:19 <Angeline> Rule the waves and the seven seas! Break the Bismarck and the Kriegsmarine!
21:20 <Dappled> Okay, but spreadsheets.
21:20 * Ali noms the Angeline
21:20 <Finwe> Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves!
21:21 * Finwe installs Terraria.
21:21 * Angeline sends thirty-five carriers with fifty battlecruisers to remind Finwe that the Stone of Scone is now subjugate to the Lia Fáil.
21:22 <Finwe> Fail.
21:22 <Angeline> Fah-eel
21:22 <Angeline> The Lia Fáil was thought to be magical: when the rightful High King of Ireland put his feet on it, the stone was said to roar in joy. The stone is also credited with the power to rejuvenate the king and also to endow him with a long reign.
21:23 <Dappled> The actual roar: "Stop standing on my head, fatty!"
21:23 <Finwe> Cé chomh gleoite, beagnach cosúil le Ali.
21:24 * Ali is wondering if someone is trying to call her cute in another language she doesn't understand.
21:24 <Finwe> :3
21:24 * Finwe hides Ali's translator software.
21:25 <Dappled> No one would ever call Ali ute-cay
21:25 <Cepheid> So, I needed a barroth crown. I didn't break the head. Hey, ADra. Guess how many barroth crowns I got in the rewards.
21:25 <Finwe> Not even the eadhay of the avigatornay.
21:26 <Cepheid> So, I only needed ONE crown. Three guesses, and I'll tell you if you're too high or too low.
21:26 <Cepheid> 0 is not the answer, as a hint.
21:27 <Angeline> 6
21:27 <Cepheid> Low.
21:27 <Angeline> Wow
21:27 <Angeline> really?
21:27 <Cepheid> You're one off, though.
21:27 <Cepheid> I got a grand total of 7.
21:28 <Cepheid> 5 from quest rewards, 2 from break(???) rewards.
21:28 <Cepheid> I wonder what the probability is for that.
21:28 <Cepheid> Oh, I got 2 due to capture rewards, not break.
21:28 <Cepheid> Anyways...
21:29 <Cepheid> It's an 11% chance from hunting for the quest rewards itself.
21:29 <Cepheid> For a capture, 14% chance.
21:30 <Cepheid> 0.14^2 = 0.0196, so 2% chance of getting 2 from capture rewards.
21:30 <Cepheid> ...
21:30 <Cepheid> The chance of 5 from quest rewards is less than 0.002%.
21:31 <Cepheid> And that doesn't take into account how the system determines number of items.
21:32 <Cepheid> I assume it does a roll of a 1d100 or something, and each time I get some value or greater, I get one item. The value required then goes up by some amount, and another roll is performed. Repeat until I fail.
21:32 <Angeline> Think it's a pool of 1k or so
21:32 <Angeline> actually
21:32 <Cepheid> Mmhmm.
21:32 <Cepheid> My point is, as the number of rewards increases, the lower the chance of success of getting another item.
21:33 <Cepheid> So, as a result, simply saying that it was 0.002% is not enough. There is some randomness to the number of items I get, which isn't factored in. Because I don't know how it works under the hood.
21:34 * Starlight_Glimmer hangs a candy cane on Ali's left ear
21:34 <Starlight_Glimmer> See now you're sweet :3
21:35 <Finwe> !starlight time
21:35 * Ali sits on Starlight_Glimmer, thought they ran away.
21:35 <Finwe> Starligh time! Starligh time!
21:35 * Finwe bounces around in front of Starlight_Glimmer.
21:35 <Finwe> !twilight time
21:35 <ADragonDreaming> what hunt?
21:35 <Cepheid> Investigation. None of the investigation rewards were crowns.
21:36 <ADragonDreaming> oh, barroth
21:36 <ADragonDreaming> very nice
21:36 <Cepheid> 7. Come on.
21:36 <Starlight_Glimmer> You haven't lost me quite yet.
21:36 <Cepheid> I just expended my luck for the next month.
21:36 <Finwe> Ha! Terraria actually starts, unlike many Steam games that should, but still won't.
21:36 <ADragonDreaming> I might join you later, after dinner
21:36 <ADragonDreaming> feeling a bit light-headed
21:37 <Starlight_Glimmer> Job's been keeping me busy though. Life is just making a mess of things in general.
21:37 <Cepheid> If you do ADra, tell me. I'll need a few minutes to move things around.
21:37 * Finwe boops Starlight_Glimmer with Christmas holiday.
21:37 <Cepheid> Unless you don't plan to voicechat.
21:38 <Cepheid> Also, I had a comedy of errors that actually managed to piss me off earlier.
21:39 <Cepheid> I went to do a tempered Coral Pukei-Pukei hunt earlier.
21:39 <Starlight_Glimmer> Yes. I have 3 weeks actually, but I did plan to do a lot of things at home. Current lockdown made those ideas more challenging ...
21:39 <Cepheid> At the start, it misdirected me to the wrong area.
21:39 <Cepheid> Then, a Zinogre and Savage Deviljho joined in.
21:40 <Cepheid> And the latter two followed me everywhere, and every time I caught up to the Coral Pukei-Pukei, it would fly off
21:40 <Cepheid> I spent 5 minutes chasing that danged thing with a Zinogre and Savage Deviljho constantly on my tail.
21:40 * Dappled continues to breed bulbasaur. Gimme the shinies.
21:40 <Cepheid> Long story short, I deleted that investigation.
21:42 * Ali nibbles on Starlight_Glimmer tail
21:42 * Starlight_Glimmer snuggles Ali
21:51 <Cepheid> So, with the Power Element Phial on this SA and this armor set, I have a staggering 1040 water element attack.
21:51 <Cepheid> The raw attack is 917.
21:54 <ADragonDreaming> probably won't voicechat, no
21:54 <ADragonDreaming> Cepheid: goodness.
21:54 <Cepheid> Then I don't really need to move around, which for me is good. I don't really feel like sitting in my bedroom for several hours tonight.
22:02 <RichardMist> Hello Starlight_Glimmer, nice to see you again!
22:03 * RichardMist *wavies*
22:07 <Cepheid> And now, for a quick dinner.
22:14 <RichardMist> have a nice meal
22:19 <Cepheid> Leftover pizza from yesterday. 'Twas good.
22:26 <RichardMist> Nice
22:26 <RichardMist> pizza is nice
22:30 <RichardMist> Finwe, how's Terraria working?
22:32 <Cepheid> Hum. All armor down to Tobi-Kadachi B+ is done.
22:35 <RichardMist> Cepheid, monster hunter?
22:35 <Cepheid> Yep.
22:36 <RichardMist> Oh, how's all going?
22:39 <Cepheid> Good. Painful.
22:39 <Cepheid> In fact, it's gonna get work mostly because at this point, I want to poke a certain monster just to see how outclassed I am.
22:40 <Cepheid> ...
22:40 <Cepheid> Okay, ADra, people must be blindingly stupid.
22:41 <Cepheid> There's a tutorial when you pick the Alatreon hunt quest for the first time. It explicitly states that you MUST USE ELEMENTAL DAMAGE>
22:41 <ADragonDreaming> people click through tutorials without reading them. It is a known thing.
22:41 * ADragonDreaming goes off to dinner
22:43 <Dappled> I don't think Alatreon would have been so rough on players if the game hadn't been so forgiving on not using elemental until that fight. Like Raw was king pre iceborne if I remember right.
22:45 <Cepheid> We are outclassed.
22:45 <Cepheid> I still argue that a combination of raw and element in the end beats out pure raw.
22:46 <Cepheid> Mathematics might say otherwise, but that assumes perfect combat.
22:46 <Cepheid> That is, being in the right spot at the right time, being at appropriate range, and attacking the right part.
22:49 * Dappled also feels like Alatreon is the first monster that really needed augmented weapons.
22:49 <Cepheid> Feels that way, yeah.
22:49 <Cepheid> Augmented armor as well.
22:50 <Cepheid> The other monsters that need augmented gear probably include all the tempered Guiding Lands monsters. I've only dealt with Tempered Banbaro, but his damage output is insane.
22:52 * Dappled loves Gold Rath Armor. Wishes that he could use it more.
22:53 <Cepheid> Yeah, I can see that being a heavy defensive set.
22:53 <Cepheid> Definitely tank gear.
22:54 <Cepheid> Health Boost 3 + Divine Blessing 5, definitely tank gear.
22:54 * Dappled constantly ends up in Kulve Y cause of Free Meal though.
22:54 <Cepheid> Defense isn't bad either. Max level, 1000 for Divine Lune A+.
22:55 <Dappled> Who uses A? B or Y is where it's at.
22:55 <Cepheid> Using a full Alpha set is problematic, yeah. But it's still good to collect it.
22:55 <Cepheid> Mixing and matching armors to get certain skill sets you can't get with just the Beta alone.
22:56 <Cepheid> I actually don't even use the full Tigrex set.
22:56 <Cepheid> I use 3 or 4 pieces of it, then use other pieces to round out the skills a bit.
22:58 <Lumindia_> @Cepheid: "I'm a strong independant gamer who don't need no tutorial! *five minutes later* Shit, how do I walk?"
22:59 <Cepheid> It's worse than that.
22:59 <Dappled> QWOP
22:59 <Cepheid> During the battle, the NPCs even tell you, RAW WEAPONS WILL NOT WORK.
22:59 <Lumindia_> honestly I think people tune out the NPCs after a while
22:59 <Lumindia_> also does it say 'raw damage'?
23:00 * Dappled holds up a hoof, "Is sleep an element?"
23:01 <Lumindia_> ... it's a status
23:01 <Lumindia_> so no
23:01 <Lumindia_> If it said "Non-elemental attacks won't work", then it might be a bit clearer
23:02 <Cepheid> It says non-elemental attacks won't be very effective.
23:02 <Cepheid> In fact, they even hint that if you don't use elemental attacks there will be repercusions down the line.
23:02 <Lumindia_> mmm
23:02 <Dappled> Well maybe if they brought back Oils for SnS things would be better!
23:02 <Dappled> Why does capcom hate SnS!
23:02 <Cepheid> That... would be nice, yes.
23:02 <Cepheid> Also, it's possible they may make a return for one reason.
23:03 <Cepheid> The producer for Rise is the same producer who did Generations and Generations Ultimate.
23:03 <Dappled> They are bringing back Styles, right?
23:03 <Cepheid> Not explicitly stated yet, but there *ARE* something akin to Hunter Arts coming.
23:04 <Cepheid> The Wirebugs are used for special attacks with each weapon class.
23:04 <Cepheid> Which look a lot like Hunter Arts.
23:05 <Cepheid> Some people are also speculating underwater combat may return.
23:05 * Dappled is up to 6 perfect IV, proper nature Bulbasaur and still no shiny.
23:06 <Cepheid> So, Dappled. I have a Safi'jiva weapon with two level 4 slots. o3o
23:07 <Dappled> That's what my roommate usually runs, I prefer to just go to boost to max affinity or elemental.
23:15 <Cepheid> I prefer the extra slot. It takes up one ability slot, and the rest can, as you do with yours, be filled with affinity boosts.
23:15 <Cepheid> Using that, combined with maybe one or two Expert jewels is sufficient.
23:18 <Cepheid> Overall, I prefer the adaptability of having an extra slot.
23:19 *** Quits: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-aptmdn.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
23:22 * Dappled maxes Affinity on Saafi and enough expert to reach 100%.
23:22 * Dappled gets one shot.
23:22 *** Joins: ADragonDreaming (ADra@Pony-o2ah13.20dc.fhnt.0406.2601.IP)
23:25 <Cepheid> You're the kind of player that I end up getting annoyed with slightly. :P
23:26 <Cepheid> Too many Safi runs where players either get one-shotted, or simply... don't heal.
23:26 <Cepheid> It inevitably ends up in me switching over to healing gear so I can hit those players with Armorskin/Demondrug, and heal them any time they get hit.
23:50 <Cepheid> ADragonDreaming, the parents are wondering how you're feeling, etc.
23:57 <Finwe> !lullaby
23:57 <Finwe> :|
23:57 * Finwe cries himself to sleep.
23:58 <RichardMist> Good night Mr. Finwe
23:58 <Finwe> Good night, everypony!
23:58 <RichardMist> have a nice dreams
23:58 <NitroTheFurry> I can write you a bed time poem
