And not a single good thing about it. But don’t you have cast quartz? Or do they stack? Yeah if you wanna enjoy em, play a balance patch or play with severe restrictions overall, either way i guess. Although restrictions would make the game boring af it is an option. Yeah you do, but you get the m quartz that half cast time and a normal quartz that halves it for X element, plus Cast quartz, spell slinging for days and free wins.

Lightcosmo Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I like that CS III nerfed some of the master quartz, but it wasn't nearly enough. And ofc they go through all that trouble only to allow you to equip two of them, not sure where the logic was right there. Those effect % are way too high still, i think. Also, i fought Campanella and Mcburn... and i didn't realise Campanella used the same trick as luciola to switch your people to target eachother, and i S crafted with 200 CP and a critical bonus... and i had to restart that fight lmao.

Lightcosmo Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 As an aside, i can finally make Chrono Burst Quartz, so unless they nerfed it, the game is oficially over now. (please tell me they were smart enough to fix it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed this but as Shrimpy said, SMM is stronger by 10 base power: 960 over Wheel of Time's 950, if you wanted to know the gap between the two.

So @Sooks when you get there, play it normally first and then decide if you want to mod it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Father Shrimpas said: So, Sooks, did your cream your fav. Girl yet? Ü I’m gonna take a wild guess that this has to do with the intermission from what I’ve read, which I haven’t started, because the power of timezones meant I was sleeping. According to the power of math, though, I should be able to unlock multiple PC final bonding events in one run by keeping a save and reloading it to use combo crafts, so I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to handle it yet. But I should be able to get Noel + Wazy + Tio + one of Elie/Randy, but probably not both because I’m a master of planning. Or I’m gonna do what I did in the last game and try to unlock them all but count combo crafts wrong and lock myself into one event and just end up Googling them anyway. But I can’t help myself. As far as my favorite though, it’s unironically literally Rixia, since the game at least keeps hinting at her being interesting, unlike Mayor’s granddaughter, blue hacker, and the cute one. But the game sure is taking its time to get there. 8 minutes ago, Armagon said: I mean it's totally possible to enjoy the games without a balance patch. Proof: literally me. I mean, yes, but your only statements in favor of this for the gameplay (that I’ve seen, anyway) are something along the lines of “big numbers light up my monke brain”, which is a totally valid opinion, but I don’t think that will happen to me. 8 minutes ago, Armagon said: So @Sooks when you get there, play it normally first and then decide if you want to mod it. Oh, of course, of course! I have to take a side before I consider doing that, it’s just that if I find them absolutely unenjoyable I’m not opposed to a balance patch, instead of forcing myself through them all. 6 minutes ago, Awakened_06_ said: Can confirm, played CS1 on Nightmare, went for max AP and found the game to be decently challenging. According to @Armagon, it might make a difference in my experience that I played the first two Sky games on hard, and the last one and both of the Crossbell games on nightmare. But we’ll see.

Well here's the thing: while I do enjoy snapping games in half, I've never really been able to do it in the Cold Steel games. Like I feel like I'm straight-up playing versions of the games from an alternative reality in which they actually are challenging cause Normal mode kicked my ass a few times. Hell this goes for the entire series really. If Normal mode already kicks my ass, I'll stay away from Nightmare thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codename Shrimp Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Not to mention there's like 2-3 years difference. It's not like Lloyd is 25 or something, he's 16-17. If there's an aversion to the Tio ship, it's shitty harem systm, not age.
