    Tyredack - thank you so much for the time and effort you invest into making these videos. As to not just be another "Thank you!" comment, while they are nice too and I offer virtual high fives to everyone that takes the 10 seconds it takes to leave a comment/like, I wanted to take a few minutes out of my day, as appreciation for all the time you take out of yours, to properly explain why I am thanking you.
    You make, easily, the most consumable information out there for this game. Yes there are other content creators, Gwar for example puts out amazing videos/guides, but often times I have to sift through 2 hours of a video to glean the pieces of information I am looking for. Your videos, even the longer ones, are clear and concise and really hit the main points of whatever information your trying to convey.
    Your content is entertaining. There are tons of good content within the discord, basically any piece of info you could ever want on the game, is in the discord somewhere, or a simple ask away. However, scrolling through literally years of posts, searching keywords, and reading line after line of info/strategy, becomes quite tedious and often times boring. Your content however, never feels tedious or boring. I am always engaged, and by the end of one of your videos I don't just feel informed, or that I got the info I was looking for, but I feel entertained. Like I spent my time learning AND having fun, and how friggin rare is that combo, that you manage to achieve consistently.
    The time you spend in post-production editing is noticed and appreciated, From tiny little animations that play for 0.5 seconds, or the text comments, it all contributes to a well polished product. A lot of content creators, even in other gaming genres, often times just play game-play while talking over it, with little to no post-editing. You sir, inject fun and sometimes visual context to what you're explaining, which is amazing.
    You also save me time. Literally, the time it takes for me to consume your videos, versus the time it takes me to sometimes research the same information through other resources, is noticable. It's not that I don't use other resources, especially on complex topics (like maybe Ash or Art strategies etc.), but I can often times spend 10-20m watching or re-watching one of your videos, rather then spending 45-60m reading on discord or reddit. This gives me more time back to actually play the game, or do other things. Your videos literally improve the quality of my life.
    So, with all that said --- thank you. Thank you for your time and creative contributions to our game and community. Please know that your content truly, honestly, is valued and has such a large and positive impact on the game and its community of players.

      I greatly appreciate the kind words. It's always my goal to be clear, concise, and try to ride the line of being cringe/funny to keep it all flowing. The editing process tends to hold me up a lot, so it's always refreshing to hear when someone appreciates it. And the fact I can save you time and actually be of help is always good to hear. Thank you for watching and sharing that with me.

    I was excited to see Krydle updated to the Tank role, because it gave me another backup tank for my Asharra Double Bond if I need more than one tank or my usual staples (Gromma, Briv, Egbert) are ineligible. Indeed, he's the reason I got anywhere in Trials of Mount Tiamat this week.
    I laughed harder than I should have at your mini-breakdown upon seeing they moved Jaheira's seat, my only thought when I saw that was "If that's a thing that can be done, then can we move Dob out of Azaka's seat so we can use him in Azaka farms please?" Aside from that, I'd hoped that Jaheria had been buffed enough to make her viable for Asharra HnH again, but it doesn't look like that was the case at least compared to my normal staples. That said, given that Seat 9 is completely unused in my formation (unlike Seat 4 where Baeloth is King), being forced to use her by some restriction wouldn't be the end of the world.
    Viconia sounds like someone I'll only bring in temporarily if I need to start stacking Favored Foe buffs on Jaheira in a situation where I'm forced to use the latter, before kicking her out in favor of Valentine or Briv. Even then I might be better off just giving Jaheira a Favored Foe spec more appropriate to the adventure.
    Shandie I just cared about the changes to her speed buff; and given that they eventually decided to make the Season One Feats purchasable with gems (albeit not for several months after the season ended), odds are the Season Two Feats, including Second Wind, will eventually get the same treatment. (I'll probably get the Season Pass anyway, but good to know that they seemed to have listened to the backlash; The only other thing that would be paywalled this Season is a Familiar, and just like the Skins it'd hardly be the first Familiar to be forever paywalled.)
    I went ahead and got Nerys from a Time Gate just because the TGP discount had already kicked in, and I wanted her available to start getting gear when the Season starts, but competing with Dob and Penelope means I already wasn't planning to use her and it looks like my judgement was correct.
    I agree it's kind of stupid to rebrand all of this as Favored Foe and _not_ have a Champion with an ability that works like Favored Foe does in D&D 5e (I was actually thinking before you said it "That is literally what Favored Foe does, why is that not a thing?"). Maybe at some point during the season we'll see a new Event Champ with that mechanic, but I'm not holding my breath. (Also I don't mind Champion Spoilers but how did you learn what the new Midwinter Champ would be already?)

    • @tyredack
      @tyredack  Рік тому +3

      I'm glad Krydle is actually usable now, good to see him get some light of day for sure.
      Glad you liked it lol. I hope they don't start swapping Seats, but I do hope that we get a Champion whose kit involves picking up a Champion from a different Seat.
      I wish they gave Viconia another bump, akin to Nerys' Sanctify maybe. She's just not that good of a buffer and getting her in for Undead Favored Foes is nice, but someone else's buffing potential is likely to just be better than using her anyway.
      As far as spoilers, the website I linked on my Krond video often has spoilers you can look at, but more importantly our Spoiler Master Emmote has a place to call home for all wanted Spoilers. emmotes.github.io/ic_spoilers/ - should you care to partake.

  • @emmote77
    @emmote77 Рік тому +1

    Oh yeah - I wanted to say I completely agree with the whole Favoured Foe thing.
    I remember when I first started playing and got to Minsc and I thought - "Why would I ever want to use him?". There's only a couple of adventures in the game with one type of enemy present in every area (Vecna Loots for example) - so for the vast majority of the game you're always going to hit a wall the moment you don't have any favoured enemies. Or you have to swim in respec potions and constantly respec - and that's if they even have a favoured foe type to match. It's all so... clunky.
    As a design it sounds pretty cool - but with the current implementation - it falls flat.
    The changes to Minsc to have his speed spawn a Favoured Foe and Viconia also occasionally spawning undead are steps in the right direction - but as you say - it's bosses that hold progress back typically - not trash - so it really does need something else.
    And unfortunately - Imoen seems to be following in the same design footsteps as Jaheira and Minsc/Viconia. A Favoured Foe ability whose stacks are lost on area change - and she can create Favoured Foes - but only trash enemies as well.
    So yeah - BUD spiking with ults/firebreath seems to be the only way to use these Favoured Foe mechanics and that sucks. BUD spiking to progress is so tedious.

    • @tyredack
      @tyredack  Рік тому

      I had a similar experience when I first got Minsc. I was like... well this kind of sucks. At least he has a lot of All Damage? Had to use him because I was so fresh then The Running came out with Spurt and Catti and never used him again, really.
      It really is a strange choice of direction when they decide to change it to make it more relevant and still have such a large hole left behind in the design. I just hope we get an actual Favored Foe marker in the future.
      And with Imoen not only that, but Seat 11. A Favored Foe team loses *SO* much power on a boss stage it's just not worth it. And honestly, even at full power... meh. Fun idea, though.

    • @emmote77
      @emmote77 Рік тому +1

      Yeah the seat 11 choice means she's almost guaranteed to be DOA for most people except brand new players who hadn't managed to unlock Nova or Avren yet - or people who don't care about power. She'd have to have really exceptional numbers otherwise - and I just can't see that - even with Perseverance being multiplicative.

  • @silenceofdoom
    @silenceofdoom Рік тому +1

    While I am not a fan of favourite foe mechanics, I think the way Jahera works avoids the pitfalls of being effective against some types of enemies, meaning that the wall is about where FFs don't spawn.
    Since her gimmick is an steady, adventure long increase of buffs to damage towards all enemies, she sidestep the "bad damage if not X" problem, she gets less increased buffs if you choose the bad specialisation. It can be avoided by consulting a wiki.

    • @tyredack

      I found the achievement a little tricky until I realised the solution.
      I did it by getting him to 20 overwhelm with feats (though 15 may also work). I added as many healers as I could from every other seat to restack Evasion as quick as possible (do *not* use Egbert - he has a knockback which can break overwhelm with this method). Then I went to a melee-only zone where no champion could kill anything but where click damage could (remove familiars from the field).
      Then I put him at the front and everyone behind - waited until exactly enough enemies had spawned to get him overwhelmed and then started manually click killing every single new enemy that spawned (hold back on speed potions to make this easier). 60s later achievement popped.
