    I guess the range for support bonuses is a 3x3 or 2x2 box that surrounds a unit. 

    I wish the preview had the grid turned on so I could better visualize it. 

    It's fairly easy to tell in the screenshot without the grid. There's a space between that soldier and Grey, and a couple spaces up is the archer to confirm there's only one empty space between them. It's probably the standard pattern used in other games. A is Alm and G is Grey, and he just falls in range of support. It's probably a better visual way to show what unit(s) are giving support bonuses, which in this case I think may be a crit bonus as there's a tiny orange line at the end of Alm's crit chance.

    How do I access the list of "Threads you have posted in" from my profile that I could before the update? 

    Go to the activities tab at the top of the site, and click unread content. There are some menus that allow you to narrow/broaden your search, and in the ownership menu you check content I have posted in. You can also go to the read status menu and check everything to see all of the topics that you've posted in, whether they've updated since your last check or not. You should then save the settings as a stream, so you can just do a click on any page to bring them up.

    I don't know if this is the right place for this, but sometimes a pause icon appears on my tab of the site, and I don't know what it means. It usually appears if I haven't looked at the tab for a while, and when I click the tab it disappears. Clicking the icon does nothing, and hovering over the tab doesn't give any details.

    I use Chrome if that matters.

    About FE Gaiden...

    in NES and SNES Era

    Posted · Edited by Konnor97

    It's the black sheep of the series. Considering it was only the second game, things weren't fully set in what a Fire Emblem game should be like, so Gaiden tried some stuff that nowadays is not used. There's towns, dungeons, a single equipment slot, designation between black magic (offensive spells) and white magic (healing spells plus Warp, Dear (removed monsters), and Illusion(summons NPCs of a certain class)), etc.

    Other notable things introduced in Gaiden are:
     

    Spoiler

    Magic using HP to cast
    Characters have a base weapon with 0 mt if nothing is equipped
    Weapons are infinite use
    There are no consumable items, only equipment
    The Bow has 1-3 range, but Steel Bows, Silver Bows, and Holy Bows have 1-5 range
    Bow Knights have 1-5 range with the normal Bow
    Shields and Rings exist as equippable items, but you can't have multiple things equipped at once
    World Map (with side destinations)
    Branched promotion for Villagers
    Paladins, Armor Knights, Snipers, and Swordfighters have 3rd tier promotions
    Dread Fighters can 'promote' back into Villagers
    You can only promote once a character has reached at least a certain level (3 for Villagers, 7 for most tier one, 10 for most tier 2, and some more)
    Characters promote at shrines, which are typically found at the ends of dungeons
    Also in shrines are lion heads, which each one in a shrine offering a different stat up, which can be distributed in any way you want, but you are given a limit of typically 3 points per shrine
    There are monsters, such as Zombies, Skeletons, Gargoyles, Bigls, and Dracozombies
    They are usually fought in dungeons, but some appear in battles on Cellica's side
    Chapters are like the Parts in Radiant Dawn
    You control Alm in Chapter 1, Cellica in Chapter 2, and both for Chapter 3 on
    They don't fight in the same army though, and so you control both on each of their respective ends of the world map, doing their own battles

    And probably other things that I can't think of at the moment. But yeah, Gaiden isn't a bad game, but it is an old game. There are definitely some things that you can see were reused in later games, especially FE8.

    It seems like they're keeping the 'still take 1 damage even if your defense is higher than their attack', going by the tink when that knight attacked Alm.

    Some character art from Gematsu: http://gematsu.com/gallery/fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-of-valentia/january-18-2017/

    Maybe someone who played the original can identify these characters?

    Using the names from the main Serenes site, and some guessing we got Alm, Cellica, Clerbe, Boowy, Sevr, and I'm gonna give a wild guess and say Zeke.

    So, I finally got Moon last week, been playing pretty slowly and raising a lot for the sake of it.

    Just trounced Hau with a freshly caught Mudbray. Sure, he had Torracat as a starter, but it's hilarious that it could be that easy. And so, should I know if anything on the second island is particularly troubling?

     

    The first and third totems fights tend to give people trouble.

    I see in notification settings that there's a locked checkmark for emails for when someone comments in content I follow, and that's gonna clog the hell out of my inbox.

    Going into the email gives me the options to unfollow or adjust notification settings. Clicking the second one brings me to the notification settings, and there's even a red box on the option for Someone comments on something I follow. Too bad I can't uncheck email notifications.

    And I figured it out. I just have to set no notifications on everything I follow. Just like what I did before.

    Site layout is alright. I miss Magical Purple, but I'll live.

    Is there a way to save preferences or whatever for viewing topics I'm following? Like in the Activity thing, selecting to view content I haven't seen is a default, and then I have to do another drop down menu to narrow it down to just stuff I follow. If I leave the page and then go back without using the back arrow it makes me set that again. Minor thing now, but it'll probably bug me more later.

    Also I somehow posted this halfway finished without meaning to, but I don't know how.

    Ooh, I like the signifying blue bar letting you know when the new posts start.

    Shin Megami Tensei 25th Anniversary Game Hype

    in General Gaming

    Posted

    I am so hyped for this. It was just confirmed in the Switch presentation after Fire Emblem Warriors (which will of course get more hype on this forum), and although it didn't say SMTV, it is totally SMTV.

    So, thoughts? I know there's not much to go on, but still. It seems like it will be in 3D, so we'll get some nice demon models, hopefully seen in action during battle like Nocturne.
