Later nerds. It was fun.
Hollow Bastian replied to HeWhoHasALongNameInForums's topic in Introduction & Farewell
Hah, yeah, I can get a little, ehh, passionate about some subjects. Well, anyways, it's sad to see you go, but I did literally make a thread about this the other day. Hope you find your true calling wherever you go, and if not there, the place after that one, or after that one. Change and finding new things are part of life, and it's what makes us uniqu--why the fuck am I getting philosophical--Farewell, brother! -
What is THE MOST USELESS SKILL you can Think of?!
Hollow Bastian replied to Marisia's topic in General Discussion
Dang, you beat me to it. I remember literally only ever using Cloaking to mess around with enemy AI when I was trying to do dumb things in dungeons. I'm not sure why KOG even conceived the idea of a stealth skill in a high-speed hack-n'-slash. Anyways, it may have been useless in a serious environment, but god dang it, Statue of Glory was fun. -
In your opinion, what is ahead of us in Elswords future
Hollow Bastian replied to TealRedsky's topic in General Discussion
I can guarantee you we will have more characters in the future (maybe even near future, since Summer and Winter season are when this game drops the biggest updates), and I can assure you future characters will continuously try to one up each other on how flashy their attacks are. They may have re-skinned old skills and their whole kit may not be very mechanically interesting or useful, but they'll definitely be flashy. After all, the art department is the backbone of this game. If this game didn't have the high quality artwork and flashy special effects it does, it would have shut down a long time ago and no one would have cared. On that note, more costumes! Lots and lots of more costumes in the future. Like, mountains of them. Oh, and the accessories, and the sitting poses, and the standing poses, and the skill cut-ins, and the sparkly effects you can get, etc. Make a thread asking what people like about this game or why they're still here, and you will have a number of people tell you that it's the dress-em up factor. Hell, I bet KOG could make an Elsword spin-off that is literally just the Item Mall with all the costumes currently available, and people would play it. What I would like, however, is for an entire section of the development team to work for a year straight trying to rewrite the game's code in a new engine, optimizing it in the process. Apparently this game's code is god-awful and it makes it really hard to fix certain bugs and work around some things. Fixing it is not an option anymore, so starting over is the only way. -
It's too exploitable. It would be used much more often by people trying to troll spam or by those who get offended too easily than by people actually trying to express their honest opinion. Besides, when someone dislikes another person's post, they're usually willing to let them know why in a reply. That, or they just flat out ignore it, which is commonly the good thing to do.

I go back to old dungeons and do random stuff. For example, I'll sometimes go to a dungeon solo, kill all the monsters in a room, but instead of moving on, I stay in that room for a while. I'll look at the scenery, see if there's any signs of interesting lore in the environment. Maybe KOG sneaked in some kind of easter egg I wasn't aware of. Or maybe I'll kill almost all the mobs, but I'll leave one specific mob alive and just jump around it, observing its animations and attack patterns. You can almost say I take a game tester's approach to dungeons when I'm bored. Considering that now-a-days entire rooms are cleared in mere seconds, you'd be surprised at how many little details you can find when you take your time with these stages.

Awww, man... Dang, I didn't expect to see you leaving now that it looked like you were becoming more active. Or maybe that's just me, I dunno... But anyways, I hope the best for you wherever it is that you go now! You're a really cool person, and I think we had a lot of interests in common, particularly in the games we like. If you ever feel like coming back, I'm sure we'll all welcome you with open arms! And heck, I'll still try to update my YouTube channel with whatever I can every time I can. You can hit me up in there anytime you want. Farewell, old friend! Best of luck, and Happy New Year!

HWAT. Shit, dawg, I need to keep track of this game's updates more carefully. *rushes to game launcher*
-
Ooh, yes! I love Little Devil's idle pose, and I was really sad to lose it when advancing to Yama Raja. Now, you didn't mention Base poses, and I'm not sure if those are already in Void. If not, I'd love to see them, too, since... you know... You know...
-
U-uh, I kind of accidentally spoiled you on Sennel Coolidge's character on this -> thread I made that you commented on. Sorry about that...
But hey, more motivation to play it, right? XD

Phew, I'm glad you're ok with that. Some people freak out about the littlest of details unknown to them. There was one time I said "Oh, you got the bad ending... That sucks. D:" and this person yelled, "WHY YOU GOTTA SPOIL THE FACT THERE'S MULTIPLE ENDINGS!?"
Then again, this is the internet, so I guess I should expect it.
-
No, no, you're fine! The problem with me is YouTube.
Seriously, I listen to one song from a game I haven't played yet, and the next thing you know YouTube puts "*game* FINAL BOSS - *spoilers*" in my recommended tab. Or the comment section. NEVER go into the comment section of a game you haven't played yet. Thanks to that, important details from both Tales of Zestiria and Valkyria Chronicles have already been spoiled to me...
-
Aw, man, I hate that, too. Valkyria Chronicles is great in both story and gameplay; it's one of the few games that I'd say has a fine balance between the two. Tales of Zestiria in my opinion kind of has an interesting story if it wasn't expressed so similarly to other popular game series, which is why I think it's more gameplay oriented than story oriented.
-
I just checked out your backloggery link, and I'm excited for Tales of Vesperia if you'll be LPing it. I'm so stoked to see a future LP of Tales of Xillia since that's my all-time favorite game that I've ever played. I highly recommend it. Tales of Legendia is great, too, but the gameplay is pretty monotonous and simple for my tastes. However, the MUSIC IS AWESOME, and the story is so amazing that even after feeling bored of the gameplay, I kept going to the end just for the plot. Definitely recommend one playthrough of it.

As I'm currently playing through Tales of Vesperia, I have been absolutely blown away by the game! My first Tales was Symphonia, which I loved everything about. Then I played Abyss, which managed to top Symphonia, despite how difficult that task seemed. And now with Vesperia, from the story, to the vastly improved gameplay, the world, the characters, the music, everything is coming together so well that I may potentially consider this my favorite game of all time! But as you may know, there is the Japan-only PS3 version of Vesperia which is far superior to the Xbox 360 version. So, if this truly does turn out to be my favorite game of all time, I plan to do something special. It may be a large expense on my part, but I am considering on finding a way to Let's Play the PS3 English-patched version of Vesperia, even if it ends up forcing me to get a hackable PS3 just for that game. It seems like there's someone in Amazon selling hackable PS3's for a somewhat reasonable price, so I can see myself doing business with them.
That being said, though, that Let's Play wouldn't come for a long time! I want to Let's Play as many Tales games as I can (because I love the franchise to absolute death), and I want to do so in order of release (from oldest to newest), which is just how I like to do things. Due to localization issues, however, I may have to wait a while before I can do Phantasia (X Edition), Destiny (Director's Cut), Destiny 2, and Rebirth. It would also feel kind of awkward to start with Eternia, so I think I'm going to start with Symphonia and work my way up from there. So, unfortunately, we won't be seeing Vesperia after a long time, and Xillia will take even longer. But I can assure you, they will happen!
-
Glad to hear this! So, that means Legendia should be soon after Symphonia...!

-
What's your Youtube channel? I wanna check out your LPs, dude!
-
Now, I take a really long time to upload Let's Plays, but I definitely will continue to work on them. In fact, I'm currently working on a new Let's Play that I hope to have ready for October. It's gonna be something spooky, but I plan on keeping it secret until it's ready for upload.
-
Thanks! I'm GeonamicWarrior on youtube, so if you start seeing a lot of comments from that user, that's me!
-
Cool, I'll keep it in mind!
