Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I got to the archfiend set maybe 2 days ago? I've only done daily frontlines since it started. FL is really bad at this point and I could not make myself grind it for anything.

I regret not playing it more at the start of the season when it was actually fun.

I got mine through doing CC a lot. I did my frontline daily last night out of boredom, and I got more bored doing it. Also, we lost. Third place.

Ranked up enough in CC to get both framing sets. Don't really like the armor, so I guess I'll see what next season has to offer and worry about finishing the Garo mounts then.

Aside from many people immediately switching to SMN when entering FL it hasn't really changed that much. It's still objectives, objectives, objectives. As long as you have someone calling out nodes/locations and people listening, you do well enough to hit 2nd at worst while remaining competitive.

It's when we have people arguing over objectives/locations or occasionally when we have no one calling that it's usually guaranteed 3rd place. Or sometimes you just have people afking. That happens too :c

2 out of 3 isn't bad. The Trigun remake trailer gave me Berzerk 2016 vibes. Cautiously optimistic.

That feeling when you're at work trying to get stuff done in the bakery and there's this one kid that's doing that goes-up-your-spine-when-you-hear-it kind of scream for attention from their mom getting subs in the deli made.

Now imagine them doing that for almost 45 minutes.

I think my ears might be shot.

RNG can also be a problem. With CC, since it's smaller scale, I feel more like I have a say in the outcome; my own play actually matters. I've always personally preferred smaller scale PvP in general though. Frontlines just aren't fun to me in any way shape or form. I'd like to have the horse mounts to collect, but it's just not worth it.

Playing Tales of Symphonia, waltzing off to the Temple of Earth to farm the dragon there for EXP and get my Luin funds... only to realise the PC version heavily nerfed the EXP and Gald given by that dragon, so much that it isn't really profitable anymore (takes long to kill and can easily kill party members). Welp.

My goals in FL nowadays is just to score as much kills as possible lol. I wanted that 5000 kills title: "Hand of Mercy".

At least I'm still contributing to my team's overall performance, right? Right???

Ironically I find FL's chaos is really fun to deal with. What killed the mood in FL is if we got paired with bunch of defeatists.

It wasn't just the PC version, the re-release of the game in general did that. It sucks too, that was such a profitable area!

EDIT: HELL YES! Witch on the Holy Night is getting an official western release from Type-Moon for the PS4 and Switch!
