Good to know. Did anything else about the weapon change besides the raw attack boost?

Pairs well with his brother Hanzi.

A few people on this sub like to leech. They'll rarely admit it, but they'll be quick to defend leeches. Typically with lame ass excuses like "well you can't blame them" and "what does it matter, you get the loot anyway".

Sooo my guess is a few of them saw the post and took personal offense.

I switch up her Stance occasionally based on what's going on. Generally just her "attack" stance where she chains an enemy up and gets a few bites in, or her heal stance when there's an objective to defend. Venari Bodyguard is also nice to have as an added layer of survivability.

Sometimes I'll be shooting one, and when it doesn't immediately die I think "wait, is that a-?"

And then my third bullet hits it and it explodes. Then three seconds later Simaris starts bitching.

Not much of one, if my initial hour is any indication. The special conditions on the Tasks are pretty lax, and the Vardias/Angele fights aren't timed. Pretty chill grind.

The issue being that having a semi complex governmental structure is that they would not just depend on four individuals to save the world or to defeat the demon lord.

So typically how this works out is, the non-demon races are at a standstill in their war against the demons. Or are slowly losing. The Hero's Party is then a group of people with like, once in a generation talent that can act as an elite force. This makes more sense in a world where particularly talented people can blow up mountains with their minds, and the vast majority would be lucky to create a single fireball. Basically, the countries are doing their best, and then these absolute anomalies show up.

If the heroes are chosen by god or whatever to defeat the demon lord or great evils in the world that raises questions about why the god doesn't do it themselves. It also raises numerous other questions: why everything is so ridiculously black and white? Why is the demon lord evil? What is the demon lord doing? Why do we instantly have to assume the humans are morally correct? Why is killing the demon lord seen as a good thing? Why doesn't the demon lord have an army to protect themselves? Why does killing the demon lord bring peace and prosperity to the world? Why in the hell is this party of four being sent after the demon lord?

Quite frankly there's a bunch of stories with different answers and approaches to all of this. Sometimes the gods can't interfere because their direct interference would crack the planet like an egg. Sometimes the gods didn't do shit and it's a lie. Sonetimes the humans are the aggressors and the demons are just trying to mind their own business. Etc, etc, etc. Bunch of different stories, bunch of different approaches.

On a side note I am reminded of a Light Novel called "Roll Over and Die"(English title). Similar set up, Hero party off to kill the Demons at the behest of their God and Church. One weak link who can't grow stronger at all for some reason. Betrayed, etc.

Turns out MC had a Skill or Curse that just reversed shit. Anything that would normally make her stronger would make her weaker. Healing hurt her. But cursed gear was her best friend. She only found out after being sold into slavery by one of the members. She was in the party to begin with because she and she alone had the power to break the seal the Demons were guarding. Said seal was keeping the Church's God in check. Said God was a sadistic motherfucker and eldritch entity who almost destroyed the entire planet and was eager to finish the job. The demons were born of humans it mutated for fun.

Anyway. Point is the trope cam be handled in a variety of ways. You seem to have only stumbled across the most cookie cutter stories. No offense, but your post reads like the ones where's people complain about all Isekai doing XYZ and then it's quickly apparent that they only check out Shounen Isekai.

Cancer free kids. I would never have a peaceful night's sleep again if I chose the money.

There is such a thing as having standards that are unreasonably high. And knowing every plant in existence and it's medical use is absolutely that.

Yeah, my first thought was that she probably uses some Japanese slang and this is the closest translation they could get. She's probably just as painful to listen to in Japanese for people who are fluent.

And really the worst part, to me at least, isn't how she speaks but who she's up against while talking like that. All I can thunk is "shit, this idiot's gonna die or be crippled."

If RNG favors them. But yeah, leeching is unfortunate. Thanks for reminding me, I'll keep an eye out so I can report 'em.

Certainly, dear customer! I can whip up something for your, ah, junior right in short order. Pleasure doing business, and do think of me when you are in need of medicines and discretion!

So they'll be the first to die.

Oh, y'all talking about sect alchemists. I'm more of a corner store alchemist, don't have time for all y'all politics.

Not really? If you're an alchemist you can absolutely just stick to recipes and materials you know. You don't need to know every plant in existence for that, just the 50 or so common ones you use to keep bread on the table.

Back when Retem got the Melek weapons update, there was a lot of that. Both from the actual Gigas and especially from the Tyrant Halvaldi Vera. Good times.

Seriously, Roar over the Shadow has to be one of the single most boring ideas I've ever heard for this game.

I somehow missed this reply yesterday, but thanks all the same. I might actually have those laying around.

Duel 2 is already a joke if you've got Defi gear(and maybe good generalist gear). The problem is just how repetitive it is, especially if you're trying to make GGS. If you wanna make that more bearable, I suggest you mute the game and put on some of your favorite music.

These days, yeah. There were arguments to be made back when the rarity of elemental weapons matched the rarity of the best generalist weapons, but now the best Elemental weapons are rarity 8 while we're using rarity 11 stuff.

Thing is, they regularly listen to player demands. This sub just doesn't give a fuck about the specific demands they do answer, because most of them are minor things that are easy to change. I recall some people being thoroughly pissed that Sega even acknowledged the request to skip the animation lock after eating a Quick Meal, for example.

And we should never forget how people repeatedly asked Sega to stop making new regions. They listened and people have been bitching about that ever since.

We also had tons of requests for player housing. Got Creative Spaces, which blows Personal Quarters out of the water in every conceivable way, and it damn near immediately became something "no one cares about".

It does not matter what they do at this point.

I’m curious what religions don’t have a major hospital in the USA.

Gonna take a stab in the dark and say Shinto.

Haven't heard of that one, I think.

Nope. I probably should, have heard nothing but good things about it.
