all I know is that selling gem-filled equipment automatically removes those gems

You know you can equip gems that are already on different equipment? I don't see how this is a problem, seeing as it clearly shows which gems are on equipment that's not in use.

Yes, but it's still 100% more inconvenient than if the gems just stayed with the character when possible.

I dunno, I feel like the gem equipping is really convenvient. It removes all gems when selling, you can equip gems from other armor, and it even tells you which gems are on unequipped armor so if you got new armor you can just look for the gray E gems.
I guess if there were enough slots in the new armor, they could just transfer the gems over, but what if there's fewer slots? How does it pick which one to carry over? And if there's no slots, it will unequip the gems or leave them on the old armor? It would lead to very inconsistent handling of gems, which is convenient sometimes but confusing other times. -- _foolmo_ 'It's easy to get yourself in trouble if you start quoting people who don't like you in your signature' - Mods ...

I'm headed into the Marsh now and I assume I missed these Colony 9 quests the first time around because some of them are laughable. This one dude's all like, 'I need you to take care of one Cute Brog. Be careful, they're really strong!' And I'm like, "o_o"
Anyway, I still can't go into Colony 6, right? There are refugees chilling at the cave so I assume so. It just feels weird walking past it without going inside yet. -- "Later..." <Toonami> <4/1/2012> <Never Forget> ~SCP~ http://img.imgcake.com/Jeffzeropngus.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

I personally wish gems were sorted better.
I don't care if it means having 20 tabs, as long as it's easy to find what I want. You can auto-sort the gems in like 10 different ways. "Attributes" is the best, it sorts the gems in the most convenient way possible, starting with HP gems, then Strength, then Ether, then Agility, and so on, all ranked from best to worst. It's funny that pretty much every complaint this game gets comes from people who don't pay enough attention. Like the people who don't figure out that you can fast travel to different maps. ...

foolm0ron 04/17/12 10:58:00 AM #408: |
Yeah the sorting is tricky because there are so many different types of bonuses. I have found that Attributes is the best as well.

Hit and dodge rate.

Also, looking at the last page, totally change up your party a lot. Everyone is completely usable, and it was a lot of fun to me to try playing as each one and all. You get a ton of different dialogue too, since every combination of three all have specialized in-battle quotes too. And of course, they all have different banter when accepting quests, and it helps build affinity.
If anything, Sharla ended up being my least used character. Doesn't do a lot of damage, lots of recharge, healing wasn't all that necessary when you had Shulk, Riki, or Melia covering it and used chain attacks well, and she likewise doesn't build up party gauge much at all to let you use more chain attacks. I usually found Dunban or 7th to be highest DPS thanks to the 5x multiplier in chain attacks with their talent artes. Absolutely obscene damage on those. -- I have no idea who you are, but I thank you for arousing me. - Beruga Brawl FC: 3823-8243-5663 ... Copied to Clipboard!

foolm0ron 04/17/12 11:57:00 AM #413: |
Yeah I underestimated the value of party gauge building. With Shulk/Reyn/Sharla all you get is Shulk occasionally building some gauge, but Dunban builds it insanely quick, so even if people die you can just revive them.
-- _foolmo_ mobile computer ... Copied to Clipboard!

KJH 04/17/12 12:41:00 PM #414: |
And Dunban dodges like a champ!
But yeah, you don't need to even use the party gauge for reviving, just chain attacks. You can stick enemies in loops of topple/daze really easily since each extra topple/daze attack after break stacks the time on top of one another. So, best tactic always ended up being use chain attack to break them, then build up multiplier with consecutive topple moves, use a talent art when you're out of topple/green moves to keep the multiplier, and finish it off with more talent artes or red moves to take advantage of the ridiculous multiplier and damage. And the cool thing is that each move in a chain attack still increases party gauge (including the topple/daze ones), and the topple/daze/whatever you do while they're still knocked down afterwards will boost it up too. By the time they're up, you'll probably have 2/3 party gauge refilled. -- I have no idea who you are, but I thank you for arousing me. - Beruga Brawl FC: 3823-8243-5663 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've grown to like Seven, I think she fills the gauge faster than Dunban. Gotta figure out a new party with her, since the party I am using is now Seven, Shulk, Riki, but now that I've maxed the Shulk/Seven affinity, I don't need Shulk. Also, Riki takes forever to gain affinity with unless you use gifts.

Seven was awesome in 999
But yeah I think I have known who this 7th person is gonna be for a long time. Strangely enough, looking at the H2H list made me think it was gonna be that person, and then reading the achievement list pretty much confirmed it. I guess it's still a pretty big spoiler, but I would imagine most players predict it beforehand.

So you're saying if someone is toppled, and you use another move that dazes/topples on them, it's a damage multiplier?
edit: or are you just saying it adds more topple time on top of the original topple time More topple time on the original topple time, but in a chain attack, using the same color attacks increases the multiplier to the side, which likewise multiplies the amount of damage each attack in that chain attack does. Talent arts (white) count as any and all colors, so it can link together, say, a green-green-white-red-red to make that final red be x5 damage instead of having been reset by color changing. And each topple that you stack on will increase the party gauge a bit more iirc, since it's a successful secondary effect. Best way to continue the attacks is just put everything into Shulk for that one Chain Link skill he has, and be sure to link it to every party member in battle. With high affinity and that, 6+ attacks per chain attack around endgame is common, and stuff like a x5 Blossom Dance will end up doing like half a boss's health and then some. -- I have no idea who you are, but I thank you for arousing me. - Beruga Brawl FC: 3823-8243-5663 ...
