    Not quite - quick bomb is single target - she's not as useful without access to the skill feeders, but if we ever get them in US, 14k damage every 3 turns is not to be sneered at. Plus dual color red for horus loving. Not something to build a team around sure, but she's no anubis either ;p

    Winter 2013 Anime Thread

    Heh, Shinsekai Yori ended up right where I expected. It was an entertaining run overall, although I felt it kind of wandered around too much in the middle. The last episode has a gigantic plot hole that really bugged me though

    Gold dragons are worth of heap of gold to sell, I usually sell them all unless I have a light creature that I am in a hurry to level up for some reason ( this is why ama account has 1 mil gold and my adk account has 6 mil ;p ) There's not a lot you want to keep at the start - the metal dragon...

    I have to admit to innapropriate laughter at the tragic death scene as the chick tries to do CPR on someone that just had 6 vulcan cannon rounds go right through their chest ;p

    Yeah, used your guy for red keeper farms - dark spear to the face for 100k damage on light keeper gave me a lot of satisfaction ;p

    Draylock have the best everything as far as hulls go. I read that there is still racial techs incoming, and then a balancing pass, so that'll probably shake things up a bit. Hopefully fix up things like it being impossible to efficiently use the opteris 'wings' for anything other than armor -...

    Where do you get all your + eggs from ? I am having awful luck with +heal ones, I've only gotten like 26 or something - 50 or more each of hp and atk, pfffft.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    What team are you trying them with? I've found with ADK that the best path is damn the torpedos, balls to the wall damage. Red dungeons are obviously your worst matchup, but you have some flexibility in what dragons you can use - a blue ripper/mech helps make up for the damage reduction your two...

    Yeah, you can't really count immediate sales only when doing the impact - otherwise you could say that matrix reloaded was a commercial success, even though it's terribleness sank the franchise beyond any hope of recovery.

    It says 'today only' on it, so I wouldn't get too excited. Gold dragons have always been rare as shit, I think there's only been like 3-4 gold dragon days since US launch.

    Heh, my favorite wave of weekend master on ADK - 4 red masks. Lack of friends with appropriate leaders is a real pain in the ass for specialised teams, and it's gotten worse with 5.0 as my carefully hoarded collection of parvati/freyja turn into random stupid shit like Ra and Anubis. Down...

    i7 860, 16GB RAM, win8 64 - so no, not really ;p I don't know about if it's only on max difficulty, I only did the one test as requested - max size, max races, max difficuly, leave it on x4 indefinitely to see if it blows up.

    Well, take my opinion with a grain of salt, as I am absolutely terrible at using Horus so far ;p I think the biggest question is how consistently you can make the 4x combos - personally I am about 1 in 5 currently, so would be tempted by that option if I had a blue odin - but to math it out a...

    Yep, it's good fun - your damage is barely better than dps+resist, but you also have an assload of hp and recovery. 'Safe' is a relative term - in one way it's the safest setup your are likely to run across in that it can absorb even extreme damage spikes and healing is easy, but in another way...

    Puzzles and Dragons

    From various examples, I suspect their anticheat mechanism is that it sends a playback of how you did the level when you complete the dungeon, and then they check it for shenanigans server side. It wouldn't be infallible, as you could probably come up with a plausible playback, but that would be...

    Yeah, I had 50 stam on ADK team and wanted to go to bed, so went in with a 30% light resist just to see - walk in the park, even got 2 mlks and a dragon out of it lol. Weirdly I'm sure I used to have a light ripper on that account, I must have sold it by accident.

    In a show where one of the characters is a clone of Hitler that's married to a holographic anime character, you find the most unrealistic thing to be that a rich person is working for a spy agency ? ;p I dunno about the CIA, but MI6 has had quite a lot of rich people working there. For the...

    Dropbox has almost no functional overlap with calibre. Calibre is like the xbmc of books, it's main attraction is the full metadata lookup including series, combined with tagging and enormous flexibility in search/custom lists etc. There's a variety of useful plugins too, particularly quality check.

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    It's not impossible in theory, just as it's not impossible that a major MMO is launched with zero server stability problems - it's just very, very hard to do. Bugs that take 20 hours to reproduce are typically pretty hard for programmers to track down. 4x games generally get exponentially more...

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    Not good news on that front I'm afraid - with max size/races/difficulty, it ran normally for an hour or so, after an hour it became noticeably lagged at 4X speed ( although still normal at 1X speed ), after 3 hours it crashed.

    Vampire lord is for mono dark teams - as with all mono teams you want orb changers, so you aren't stuck holding your dick with a board full of every color but your one. Vamp is dual duty, as he covers leader and heal->dark. You want to get a mystic dark knight as a high priority ( light-> dark...

    I don't think the AI actually designs ships, it just uses pre-made templates - these seem to be portable though, and it will use ones that you make too. Some potential there for user made ship packs.

    StarDrive - Now with fucking Space Bears

    I haven't seen anything like that, although I get occasional pauses when a lot of stuff is happening at once. I'll try a max size/races game and let it run by itself for a while and see if it bites it. No, the only limitation is build time and maintenance cost.

    Odin/Healer won't work I think - the high end technicals are all gimmick dungeons, like can only take green in, or no leader skills work and shit like that.

    Update on this one after 8 hours or so: The game is quite fun, but it's well hidden under a pretty terrible UI. So many little things could make it flow, but aren't there - leaving it as kind of a confusing mess. One of the big problems is scale - everything is at semi realistic proportions...

    Horus is the top dps leader, bastet is a high tier leader that's easier to use than horus. Ra is almost impossible to use effectively unless you have amazing skills, fuma is an fantastic mono light team member. Fafnir is very useful in horus team due to dual colors, undine and ice golem are...

    Actually, if memory serves, gvalk healer team + viper friend is favored as one of the better teams for a zero stone clear of Hera. Mostly because going autoheal + resolve leads to awful damage which makes the early trash rounds deadly dangerous, but valk lets you keep decent dps, utility and...

    With the buff to starter dragons in 5.0 they are viable substitute for norse gods, which makes all the 4X teams farmable - some easier than others, given valk dungeon is stupid hard for example. Also farmable - 6.25X ADK team, dragon team, 9X zeus team, 6.25X valk team.

    Yeah ToME is my pick for best of the current roguelikes.

About the only downside is the world is...

    Just a quick heads up for the people playing multiple accounts. After the update upgrades your first account, you will need to copy the two files from the lib directory of that account to the other account folders before you use them. ( otherwise the game won't start )

    I can't see how it wouldn't - you don't really have a save, just an authentication token for your account, all the data is actually server side. You can regenerate all the other files if you still have data048.bin
