solrocknroll Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 You didn't know it was a Tyrant? It was pretty obvious because of how it looked. I did however purposely activate it to see what it does and indeed jumped five feet off my couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I was anticipating it to be a landmark, so I wanted to activate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 So for the last few days, I have been playing sidequests and let me just say jeez these are some of the darkest sidequests I have ever played. The writers pull no punches in these. Fallout's sidequests can't even compare. You got Nopon ntr, xenophobias, human trafficking, pizza: the opium of Ma-non world and of course this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 You didn't know it was a Tyrant? It was pretty obvious because of how it looked. I did however purposely activate it to see what it does and indeed jumped five feet off my couch. To be fair, unless you've explored Sylvalum before and seen some of these walk around, you could think it's just another remain of past civilization. That tyrant however though to me be wary of robots seemingly lying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Question: I am post ch 4 pretty ch 5. I took a mission directing me to sylvalum. I don't have sells yet. It's an affinity mission. Do I have to swim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNameAtAll Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 So I found this Level 60 monster in the middle of a lake in Noctilium. There was no note that it was actually an enemy. Now that the pants of myself and my brother have both been shat in, I have no desire to play with this game's bullshit for a long time. Xe-Doms do that. Though that tyrant in particular is a rarity. Usually, Xe-Doms are only triggered by nearby skells, otherwise, they're docile unless attacked. If there's anything that gets me, it's the Thallus and Vivohost enemies. Mostly the Thalluses though since I knew what to expect by the time the Vivohosts showed up. Casually walking past what looks like a tree branch only to hear this SHRIEK followed by getting sniped is enough to scare you shitless. They easily take the cake as creepy fuckers from the giant-sized Arachnos and Antols from XBC (The ones that climb up when you approach too close, like Clifftop Bayern where you get the Giant's mirror). At least those don't fucking /shriek/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoNameAtAll Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Speaking of tyrants, I'm glad they're sticking with making some of them have...crazy names. For every Trueno the Cataclysm (Fuck that Filiavent in Cauldros by the way. Very easy to set off accidentally due to a huge aggro box), you have another Sheldon, the Dentally-Challenged or Poppy the Pyromaniac.

Knife Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I kinda don't want to do sidequests cause bad things happen. Seriously, what's the point of doing sidequests when a character dies or is mauled as a result of your actions? Also, there's almost no point to doing most of them, they give you like 2 enemies worth of exp and some gold (which is plentiful anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackc2 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) So I like using everyone in the game and spreading exp around however so being forced to have the avatar in the party at all times is actually incredibly annoying because he becomes overleveled as all hell compared to everyone else. Currently to try and stop this I have given everyone that isnt him a headset with with exp IV however is there any other more efficient ways to keep everyone I like using around the same level. Very minor spoilers Also who else found that duel in chapter 9 where you can't use your skells a brutal difficulty spike. (Its probably punishment for the amount of times I've accidentally drove my skell Lancelot (yes that is a code geass reference) into oblivia's never ending abyss) Edited December 31, 2015 by Mackc2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) ya but completionism. Is there any point in trying to fight global nemesis before you are around level 60? I tried it at level 50 with a few level 50 skells and did well enough to get a few rewards, though I got much better rewards more consistently with just one level 60 skell so I'd suggest waiting. Definitely don't try to fight the Yggralith until level 60 though. Very minor spoilers Also who else found that duel in chapter 9 where you can't use your skells a brutal difficulty spike. (Its probably punishment for the amount of times I've accidentally drove my skell Lancelot (yes that is a code geass reference) into oblivia's never ending abyss) yah, I definitely had difficulty fighting Ga Jiarg and co. I started doing much better after I changed around some skills and finally messed with augments. It also helped me to focus on the mooks before turning my focus to Buidhe and Jiarg.

So I had just finished running at full pelt away from some high level flowers and jumped off the cliff into the lake. Then I saw the thing and I'm like cool this must be some mechanical thing that I can check out or something. Nope its a giant robot that could kill my whole party in one hit.

kingddd Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) I love this game too much but there sure are a lot of tanktops as rewards in the basic quests. [spoiler=noactualstoryspoilerjustclothes] I only gotten 60% on majority of my surveys for all locations so far and I spent only 90 hours in this game. I still need to get better augs and gears though. Edited January 2, 2016 by kingddd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvalum Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 The robot is a fairly common horror story. It's funny how everyone's reactions to it are dramatically different and yet all of them describe unadulterated fear. For me, a sillier story was when I was sprinting around in Oblivia, then Uncontrollable kicked in and a giant sandworm the size of NLA popped out of the ground. I'm not sure what was more comical. The unexpected heel turn death, the self aware Tyrant music mocking my inability to fight, the fact I simply couldn't escape from it killing me no matter how hard I ran... It was less scary and more: 'Yup. Xenoblade X.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was less scary and more: 'Yup. Xenoblade X.' I've experienced both of those things. The funny thing is, the sandworm actually shows up as a stationary red dot on the radar before you get close enough to make it pop out and attack you. I just ran up to it to see what would happen, expecting something more, you know, beatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackc2 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 um can someone help meI dont have alexea in my party right now and I went to pick her up and shes not there I'm fairly sure it is not due to a heart to heart because Ive checked back at every time and she still is not there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingddd Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) After grinding for the entire weekend I finally got my ares90. This baby freaking destroys everything like holy crap. I swear it isn't worth grinding for these materials by normal means and reward tickets are so helpful to make this process faster. Now all I need is to grind hours for some bunny suits.

Knight Falchion Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah, the Ares 90 kicks so much ass, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without reward tickets. How would one even reasonably get an Yggralith heart by normal means without first having an Ares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her last 3 H2H take place all day (the 3rd one on condition that you have a dog as your pet). After grinding for the entire weekend I finally got my ares90. This baby freaking destroys everything like holy crap. I swear it isn't worth grinding for these materials by normal means and reward tickets are so helpful to make this process faster. Now all I need is to grind hours for some bunny suits. The Ares 90 is definitely powerful and with the right augments, overdrive and good luck with cockpit time, it can kill even level 90 tyrants. I'm now 1 hex away from having 100% completion for Mira and the Ares was definitely what allowed me to get there. Don't think it will be enough as it is right now to take on Telethia the Endbringer and give me that 100% though. Maybe I'll just farm my way to the one shot Zenith Cannon build. [spoiler=Also, the pic you post earlier this week gave me inspiration for my sig] Yeah, the Ares 90 kicks so much ass, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without reward tickets. How would one even reasonably get an Yggralith heart by normal means without first having an Ares? I'm pretty sure you need to use reward tickets to farm the Ares. You probably can get the Heart as a drop from the Global Nemesis, but it's much easier to just farm the Global Nemesis for parts reward tickets and then get the Heart with them.

PuffPuff Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well...that sounds like quite an assignment like with getting +6 Brave and Killer forges in Fire Emblem Fates. Beginning Alien Negotiation Plus these aliens are just sentries that are protecting something dearly upon their unknown. I have to play this game immediately.
