At least you're leveling your CEs... I'm just creating a bunch of CE bombs and never using them

I should really see which CEs I use most and level them up... these are most likely the NP charge 50% + some sort of damage boost CEs like Holy Night Supper.

I really enjoy Hexen, it's probably my favorite id game. I hope a new one comes out sometime, though I don't think id owns the license to the name.

Hey! How are you finding Tomb Raider II from a gameplay standpoint in 2019? I attempted Tomb Raider 3 maybe a year ago and found that the controls felt nearly unresponsive half the time.

Yeah, I don't have my own Merlin either... seeing the power of one just made me think how broken having 2 would be. Wish I had a Waver as well so I could rely on skill NP gain as opposed to NP for my Tamamo. Though I must admit, her cooldown reduction on NP is very nifty.

Unfortunately, I've been on business travel this week and have been struggling finding time to play. When it comes to story content, I like to take my time to read through things, so I haven't found the time to try it out yet. I'm just trying to keep my stamina from being full by farming 40 AP embers. Managed to pull rider Marie during Valentine's, so I've been trying to level her up.

How about yourself? Sounds like you've already started it. Has it been enjoyable so far? I haven't even gotten the chance to look at the new banner...

Managed to get the Salter quest done on the last day. I went to the FGO USA Tour the past weekend and got some good advice from some friendly fellow players. I had made it partway through the second bar using Tamamo, Chloe, and support Merlin, but then would get wrecked from the extra charge she gets from breaking one of her meters. Someone suggested I replace Chloe with Orion for the NP drain, and it really helped to hold things off until Merlin had his invul back.

After having this tough a time with single Merlin, I can now see why double Merlin is totally broken lol.

I got all excited when you mentioned getting Mona Lisa... until I realized you needed a rare prism to unlock buying it. You had a spare SR to burn?

How was the memorial quests? I haven't had too much trouble so far (going in order, I think the last one I fought was Lalter), but with a few days left, I'm hoping only one of the quests is hard enough to eat up all my command spells.

Oh, I'm still stuck on the level before that on Tomb Raider II because I don't know how to progress.

Sounds like you're doing pretty well in the event. I've only gotten around to buying all the saber chocolates, as well as MLBing the shop's Altera CE. Got a long road ahead of me... might be time to start pulling out the apples.

Did you end up rolling for the event? I wanted to roll the first day when it was solo rate up for MHXA, but got busy and missed my chance.

Well, that's the deal with that maze. You need to push the walls in a particular order, otherwise you're getting blocked in. I had to save/reload several times just to get through. Also, I use ECWolf [Link] mainly for the automap feature.

Urgh. I've really hated how recent gaming has put in really arbitrary challenges/achievements for completion, from the time I've seen my friend dodging lightning in FFX to stuff like killing all bosses with one energy left in Mega Man 9. On the one hand I really hate dealing with these pull your hair out kind of nonsense, but on the other hand I want that (or at least feeling a sense of completion from the game).

Valentine's event coming up huh? I picked up 2 new mobile games, so the event will test how thin I can spread out my time between the games. I've already taken a hit to console game completion as I haven't touched a non-mobile game for almost a week now...
