no, this is the DNF thread

we tried posting it in DND but a weird thing happened; you can only make one post a day, you have to fight the previous poster for the right, and any time a thread reaches 100 posts it gets deleted and the OP has to pay :10bux: to get unbanned

HEY! gently caress. We're still alive. So.

Coronavirus is not yet known to infect DFO characters.

And the anniversary is coming up soon! And a new level cap is probably gonna drop soon! So get your lifeless asses in the guild, and especially in the discord, and let's all die together in real time from an unavoidable death plague! Self-isolation has never been more anime

Hey, 100 cap is out and the game is more or less in a holding pattern for the next several months as they release the new awakening tier. They also made it remarkably quick and easy to play gear catch up and/or gear up alts, so it's a pretty good time to get back into the game if you've been on break.

So let's talk the Mandarin of Ten-Thousand Flowers, the boss of Basement of Pain. She's a bit non-standard for a dfo poss cause you fight her on a narrow ledge, so her attacks are difficult to dodge, and people have trouble with her. She has a few distinct patterns:

Nen Flowers: She spins across the screen, leaving behind multiple flowers, then charges back, causing the flowers to explode as she passes them. If you don't have a powerful jump/flight skill or a teleport, this is hard to avoid, but you can minimize the damage but hiding at the edge of the screen that the began spinning from, where these is no flower, and jumping as she reaches you. Done right, this reduced the attack to scratch damage.

Nen Petals: She moves to one side of the screen and generates a flower mandala things that shoots petals across the screen. Simply hide behind her during this attack; you an easily beat on her while she fails to hit you.

Nen Lions: Two large lions jump around and land at either side of the platform. Run to the middle; the lions have contact damage. The lion will then roar, attacking the right side of the platform, then the left. Walk left, then right to dodge.

Shield Charge: If you have good ranged attacks, you can attack the shield in order to stun the boss, but otherwise you're better off jumping over the charge and hiding at the extreme edge of the field. The charge doesn't do much damage, but she nukes the center of the platform after it completes.

Energy Balls: She shoots out some spinning orbs, which multiply until they cover most of the screen. Much like the Nen Petals, the best solution is to hide behind her and beat on her during this pattern.

Goddess Mode: The Mandarin's rage pattern, she knocks you back, flies to the center of the screen, and grows a bunch of arms. Stand directly underneath her and jump over her orbiting orbs as needed; the orbs oscillate in and out so you don't need to jump over every orb. At the end of the pattern, she nukes everywhere except directly underneath her. After the pattern she is stunned and starts recharging from an energy beam. Intercepting the energy beam gives you a buff. Beat on her during the stun.

Dark Elf Archer & Bantu Animal Tamer classes when

e: and wouldn't be surprised if they eventually made a class out of those animal people from new york but idk what kinda themes they could go with there because I don't remember much of what any of the animal bosses do.

Sexy fox dominatrix class when (what would the 4 subclasses even be for that class if they followed the typical theme of 1 phys, 1 magic, and 2 in-between that either focus slightly more on phys than magic or slightly more on magic than phys, not in terms of stats but just in theme and design)

Idk how much mileage you could get out of a whip unless they went crazy with it and just made it "anything vaguely whiplike" and gave you anywhere between lassos to flails to cat o' nine tails to chains

Level cap increase? That sounds pretty exciting, DFO was a lot of fun and I'm still in the discord. Gonna add to my list of stuff to do after finals next week. Thanks for the reminder!

I seem to remember that the dark elf flame ninja was absolutely amazing, I am excited to see whatever crazy stuff they'll get to chain-summon with another few levels.

hm. well.

i stand by dfo as being, at its core, a good game.

but god drat does neople try to prove me wrong with the content. for now, this is a good time to get caught up on a character or two you care about, and get decked out in new legendary gear. the issue right now is that once you become powerful, there's nothing to actually do with that power, for another couple months

Edit: If people need help with Basement of Pain, or Black Shrine, for top-end gear, join the discord and ping me (@Black Balloon) and I'll gently caress poo poo up right quick

You can get full legendary gear pretty quickly from bottomless tunnel and land of memory, and that's good enough to get you in. It is party content though.

Oculus is reasonably fun and easy to learn. It's probably a good stepping stone into new style raid content: learning to dodge big telegraphed attacks and do simple but distinct gimmicks.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
For some reason I'm thinking of playing this again. How's the game these days and how are Asura, Monk, F.Nen, and Avenger at whatever the current content is? It's beena few years so I assume the story has killed god and various ancient Eldritch entities at this point.

The game is in a holding pattern atm so now is a great time to catch up of you're interested. There isn't any real 'current' content where choice of class matters a ton right now so they're all fine.

Cool. Is controller support any better than it was however many years ago I since I played, or do I need to stick with xpadder?

Oh poo poo! Is there any more info about that? I hope it comes to consoles.

Edit: I guess that’s pretty much a given, huh. I must’ve gotten thrown because of how long I’ve been wanting a non-mmo version of dfo to come to consoles. The horrible xbox live one doesn’t count obviously.
