George Thorogood & The Destroyers ~ Rock And Roll Christmas 2nafish

[kazaashamiko]

Sorry if this is annoying but have you watched 2nafish’s recent translation video ‘master road #14?’ If so, what’s your opinion??

I have no other opinion other than the writing is well done and consistent on this part, at least they didn’t deny Ebalon as the mastermind and rat behind all this

I appreciate that they kept the prediction instead of changing the plot and adding more holes. Although, them deciding to keep it a secret-- mmmmm I don’t think that’ll do us any good (ebalon as a surprise boss that is)

what are your opinions on 2nafish’s ‘Master Road story Quest number 14’? (Sorry I don’t want to get specific in case of spoilers)

So I watched that part of the video and so, I made a post before saying " everyone is getting a Master class from certain characters and El Masters."

I pointed out, that El Master of Moon Ebalon was missing where was he. So that further improves me questioning and theorizing.

So I'll try to avoid the spoiling the story detail. But in my opinion from that is, I like that we're getting a detail of a character that we haven't seen or heard of in awhile aside from a memory from Solace and it seems like we'll probably see him in the near future update.

oh hey so apparently KOG put out a video outlining stuff they're doing in the coming months, for which the ever-wonderful 2nafish has provided a summary

a lot of the changes coming are of course things that should've been the case long ago/outright from initial implementation in some cases, with shared bank becoming Free:tm: being the former (as there was once a time where it did make sense for it to be a paid feature), and a bunch of things becoming bank shareable being the latter, because of course now that Rigomor equipment is irrelevant all that shit is being made bank shareable

also Mystic Stones being reduced to one variant (the best) is genuinely hilarious

anyway don't mind me I'm gonna ramble about this shit for a hot minute

one thing that is a bit interesting to me though is one of the bullet points- "Titles from normal dungeons can be shared among characters in an account". I don't really know what this entails specifically, but if I had to guess this means like. earning a normal title on any character earns it on all characters come implementation. which is probably how it should've been to begin with, particularly for the really impactful titles, but eh. the specific mention of "normal" dungeons does imply though that this most likely won't apply to raid titles.

also Polarize and Adaptation caps being increased. how much we don't know yet, but the former is absolutely comical to me because like. the reason Polarize was even capped in the first place is because the design of this game is so unbelievably, comedically shortsighted that half of the content now takes place at the exact same player level. which means the only way to make later content harder is through making bosses damage sponges and have them do hilarious amounts of damage. which means at some point (and by "at some point" I mean "almost everything past Varnimyr raids") you pass a threshold where it becomes a game of don't get hit at all because anything that hits you has a 90% chance of instantly killing you.

the consequence of this being that Polarize past a certain point doesn't actually impact the damage you're taking in any meaningful way. like obviously 80% Polarize makes you take significantly more damage than 40% Polarize, but it doesn't actually matter much if you're extremely likely to die instantly on getting hit either way. this means past a certain point stacking extra Polarize is basically free damage, which is why it got capped.

this is less of an issue with Adaptation, and to be honest I don't really know why that was capped in the first place. from my understanding it has a multiplicative reduction on environmental debuff, IE 25% Adaptation will take a 40% stat reduction down by 10% rather than a flat 25%, so ultimately Adaptation has largely the same effect (at least from my understanding) at every stage of the game past Elrianode, it's just a bit more pronounced in lategame regions like Pruinaum and Tirnog where the environmental debuff numbers are literally taking your stats down to 20%. (Shout-out to the latter in particular for having fucking 90% environmental debuff, because reducing player stats to 10% of what they should be makes way more sense than just increasing the fucking level cap.)

really it mostly just becomes an issue of how much is reasonably attainable by the typical player- which, that number actually isn't very high, Adaptation is a pretty hard stat to stack. reaching the 45% cap is already pretty tricky, it barely has a reason to exist as-is.

moving on from that, we're also expecting a raid next month, and while the concept of one of the bullet points containing "tried to ease power inflation" is absolutely fucking hilarious for this game regardless of context, there is one thing that I find unambiguously hilarious for different reasons. namely new weapon, and Mystic Stones are being obsoleted! :D

pretty much two years later on the dot (minus like, a week), Vestige of Souls weapons are being obsoleted, in the same region that also obsoleted the last armor set. that said: no random drops, it's just fill a gauge to get it, which honestly depending on how many runs filling that gauge takes, I'd say that's probably better than what we currently have for existing raids. marginally.

the sad part is this is honestly kind of expected at this point, VoS obsoleting FoJ happened a little over two years after, so the schedule checks out, but the fact that a full round of equipment is being obsoleted within the same region is kind of nuts, especially since there's a serious argument to be made for this being effectively one region later. I don't personally count Outskirts as a meaningfully distinct region progression-wise from Pruinaum because like. it's three dungeons. one of which is a raid. for Master Class stuff. it's really more of a Master Road 2 than anything else. and I would not for a second argue that Master Road has any meaningful place in the actual overall progression of the game beyond existing as The Thing You Do Master Class Stuff In.

also yeah as I touched on they're also including new Mystic Stones for some fucking reason. that are just the existing ones but better. aight chief. at least make them provide different stats or effects! though then again: that's what imprint stones do.

final thing: Laby class preview! we only have 1st Job, and I like what I see so far, but I am very cautiously optimistic on this one. like this is the part where I have to remind myself and others that despite being technically hundreds (possibly thousands) of years old, Laby is for all intents and purposes a child, and like.

I like this so far! but I'd be a liar if I said elements of this design like the midriff didn't make me nervous about where this is going. that said by nature this is a very obviously rebellious teen-type aesthetic so it's entirely possible we're not going to get much more revealing than this.

I like the mischievous/rebellious tone we're going for so far, but I also remember the likes of Chiliarch and Diabla. and while unlike Laby, Lu is an adult, just in a physically-regressed body, the point is that KOG has put extremely revealing designs on characters who look like children before. so I think I am justified in being a bit wary here.

and to the probably zero people who are actually reading this who are probably going to be going "she's over 18 so it's fine", or god forbid going "it's just a PNG", in the former case if the character looks and acts like a child, then the number in that age field is entirely irrelevant, as for all intents and purposes they are a child. Laby very much qualifies. (Lu, I'll grant, does not.) and in the latter case.

like. if you're okay with sexualizing minors so long as they're just fictional characters that don't actually exist? you know what, I'll accept that. but I'm not. and I do recognize that that's not something I can judge people for, because that would make me a hypocrite. I'm otherwise a firm believer in separating fiction from reality, and while that particular line is one I'm not willing to cross in either case, to act like no one should be okay with crossing it in a purely fictional context would be... well, like I said, immensely hypocritical. doesn't mean I want to see it, though.

I guess it actually says a lot about me that this general philosophy also applies to a lot of other subjects. I hate GTA for similar reasons. do I think it has a right to exist? yes! but I do not like crime simulator 2013. I would not participate in crime simulator 2013, or in fact a lot of other things that involve doing horrible things to things that look a lot like people.

that was quite the tangent.

I think I'll shut up now.

Watch "Las Ketchup Asereje Spanglish Version 2nafish" on YouTube

[arcanecaster]

okay so i am gonna straight up admit im a huge dork for doing this BUT- hear me out. Theory Time my dudes. So, as i habitually do when giant updates are announced, i like to watch the file names as my game patches, and i noticed... the two above pictures are just two out of hundreds of similar files i saw fly by, and i think they’re event cut scenes. I have two theories: theyre for the third job quest (but that doesnt make sense cause they removed the job change cutscenes) or.....  For a new story possibly. The  reason i say new story is because of this:

That is a screen shot i took from Elsword’s (the NA branch) official FB page. It came from this promo for Hall of El. Prologue? Wait a hot second. PROLOGUE?? How? All the grinding, the capped characters, transcendence, even the El Resonance system? How far can we go exactly? Where else CAN we go? Well... with all of that, why would they add a third job? Why would they need to, when the story is supposed to be almost done? The chapter where Elsword restores the El is called “The End and The Beginning”. There’s two ways to interpret this. One, when Elsword is taken out of the El, it creates some kinda world reset, or two...  In the Hall of El Cutscenes, a lot of the El Search Party members promise their designated illusion/trial that even if they take Elsword out of the El, they’ll find another way to restore it, Examples:

(Credit to 2nafish for the subbed videos)

Meaning, there’s more work to be done. This is my theory. Removing Elsword from the El with probably shatter it again. And, since the El itself tried to stop the El Search Party from doing that and with the kinds of enemies it throws your way (and some of the enemies they’ve revealed from the Elianode area), maybe the gods or th El itself will try to retaliate against the the party, or even Elrios itself as some kind of divine punishment. Or it could destablize Henir’s and the Demon Realm again and lead to another crisis, or bring up some problem i cant even think of that maybe the story writers are hiding up their sleeve.  My main idea is that maybe the El Search Party will have to backtrack to find another solution. There’s already Heroic versions of dungeon, and Secret Dungeons. Perhaps all this has been a prologue to a 2nd act where players will have to run more difficult versions of the dungeons, or explore new areas of the villages all together, like new dungeons for the villages (cause i saw village name cutscene files in there too). This might be why a thrid job is necessary. The characters will have to continue getting stronger to face new challenges.

or im just nuts. Whatever. Thanks for reading this long post!

Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down (live) (2nafish)

“As I Lay Me Down” It felt like spring time on this February morning In a courtyard birds were singing your praise I’m still recalling things you said to make me feel alright I carried them with me today Now As I lay me down to sleep This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I’m far away I’ll whisper your name into the sky And I will wake up happy I wonder why I feel so high Though I am not above the sorrow Heavy hearted Till you call my name And it sounds like church bells Or the whistle of a train On a summer evening I’ll run to meet you Barefoot, barely breathing As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I’m far away I’ll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy Oh, darling As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I’m far away I’ll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy It’s not too near for me Like a flower I need the rain Though it’s not clear to me Every season has it’s change And I will see you When the sun comes out again As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I’m far away I’ll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy As I lay me down to sleep (ooh la kah koh) This I pray That you will hold me dear Though I’m far away I’ll whisper your name into the sky (ooh la kah koh) And I will wake up happy I wonder why (ooh la kah koh) when the sun comes out again (ooh la kah koh) when the sun comes out again when the sun comes out again when the sun comes out again oh when the sun comes out again when the sun comes out again mmh (ooh la kah koh) I will wake up happy (ooh la kah koh) This I pray …

I’ll whisper your name into the sky  And I will wake up happy ! Morning kisses

After this music video was released in 1989, the US Navy thought it was too controversial and subsequently decided to NOT allow filming of future music videos on any US Navy ships !!

[springmarshmallow]

I know right. I'm just waiting for it to happen, because at some point the devs will have to start dabbling in the main characters' backstories, and this is a big one since Add's goals are the only one's that outright conflict with the Search Party. It would pave the way for some major inroads in character development for all of them, dealing with a double-crossing from one of their own.

Also totally agree that Eve and Elsword will play key roles in how a possible betrayal would be received. Because it's pretty clear now that they're all very protective of each other, so things are bound to get messy.

Welp, if I heard 2nafish correctly on his gameplay vid we're going to Fahrmann next. I can only hope we get to see what Ran is up to. Getting to some serious stuff here!

Hi, so the recent stuff in story got me thinking about when Add was going to make his move. As I understand from his LN he needs two things for his time travel - a big energy source and a high performance ancient nasod core. The energy source issue could have probably been solved using varnimyr ores, and given how many nasod areas they've been through, I'm guessing none were deemed as optimal as Eve's core. Is he still biding time or has he grown hesitant to betray the gang? Thoughts?

Okay, so I honestly think Add thinks he’s still biding his time but he’s actually hesitant. I think he’s spent a lot of time rationalizing that hesitance to himself. It’s just “not the right moment” yet. That being said, I see this going one of two ways: He either continues waiting for the “right moment” and never really gets around to betraying them and does end up finding something comparable to Eve’s core. Or, he does end up betraying the Elgang and has to deal with whatever the fall out of that is. Because if he does betray them, I can only see him regretting it. Whether he betrays them or not though, I think his initial intentions will eventually inevitably become known, and of course, the Elgang will respond accordingly. If he doesn’t betray them and it just kind of comes up, then I see it going (comparatively) smoothly since while they aren’t happy about it, I don’t think anyone will be surprised. And the fact that he didn’t act on it will redeem him to Elsword at the very least. If it comes up because he betrays them then that will NOT be going over well at all and I think it will be harder for those relationships to be repaired, no matter how much he’s probably going to regret it. Also, with Add’s tendency to leap to conclusions, I think that however it goes down he’s going to be very defensive about it, which isn’t going to help his situation that much tbh.
