I love how this came out. I was wondering what other combo and changes we could do with the latest pose, and this is a great idea. I might like it more than the original, even.

high praise! i shall take it with me to work to make the drudge a little lighter :P

i so wish they'd expand on the photobooth so much. the constraints are hell on my artistic vision.

(we have both complained about this before, i know, but it shall be mentioned again!)

[Coldsaturn]

I'm not pulling for this banner but that doesn't mean I won't get my fill of these two together.

[ChicletPrime]

i am so torn. about 13k diamonds will get me this myth, leaving me with about 27k still in the kitty. Is that enough to coast on through the next two Sylus myths? gaining 13k diamonds in three months seems like it could be do-able, but I am definitely running out of the easy stuff and Senior Hunt still eludes, so I'm having to rely more and more on the handouts we get sometimes.

argh. and like. why wasn't i born rich and/or why are gatcha games so predatory? :P

these two are SO PRETTY TOGETHER. i love the costumes on both, even if its just Fantasy Veils of Suggestiveness for both of them. they should take inspiration from the Love Nikki games, damn it.

I have seen the new updated schedule prediction (will put it in the thread when I'm back at the computer) and to be honest I've resigned myself to skipping both Sylus' rerun and new myth. There's just too much stuff, and I have to consider the worst case scenario in every banner to avoid wasting diamonds, which means that I need to be able to go hard pity twice (140 pulls with a reset pity system ) to guarantee the card I want every time.

Consider that in the next 3-4 months we might just have: Zayne's current myth, Xav's birthday, Sylus' rerun, a rumored autumn/Halloween multibanner, Caleb solo, Raf solo, Sylus' new myth, solo banner rerun, anniversary multibanner.

If I want to secure the multi, the solo, the rerun, and the multi, I need to keep all the diamonds I can.
With what it would cost me to get Sy's myths I might as well just spend a couple hundred bucks to buy an account that already has those cards.

[ChicletPrime]

just... just putting it out there into the universe, but have we considered, i don't know... playing a cheaper game? :P i mean, if i just want combat confusion, Path of Exile is willing to pin me to a wall and lick me all over.

you're right. i know you're right. i am just weak willed and easily led astray by the Veils of Suggestiveness and I didn't mean to get Fallen Crown EITHER but i did and I Do Not Regret It which hasn't helped my internal brake-o-meter. i will hold strong. probably. maybe i could just just one card? no, that is the devil speaking.

i am SO DOWN for a Caleb solo anything, I'll be honest. Homecoming Wings/Lucid Dream gripped my psych something terrible.

[Coldsaturn]

If someone, ANYONE, can drag me away from Rafayel I will happily go. Unfortunately, they (Raf and infold at large) have me in a chokehold still.

Resisting new myths I feel is easier because we know now that reruns do happen, so you can still get them the following year. The real FOMO is for the reruns themselves for me, because who knows if they'll happen twice? The game is still too young, so we're finding things out as we go.

Same! We haven't seen him in a solo 5 star since his birthday? I think? And in terms of relationship development we should be right in the middle of their honeymoon phase now that they're together and making it official to their friends and colleagues.

Some are also saying that we might get the new main story update during Sylus' AS rerun, but I don't dare speak too loud in case it doesn't happen.

[ChicletPrime]

I saw that too, so hell. I am so far behind and real life has been not kind recently, i've been away for days and i might be away for days more, its up in the air.

my favorite Caleb author just posted another little tidbit on Ao3 so I wallowed for the fifteen minutes it took me to read it between work emails. i will never get tired of that pushmepullyou angstfest, i swear to motherflipping godburgers.

i think... yeah, I'm going to have to skip the rest of World Underneath right now unless you tell me to just read them without board commentary just to have them tucked away under my non-existant belt. I have to find a couple of hours still to watch God of Annihilation and reply to your no doubt juicy drip thread on it, and then go straight to Sylus' myths and then Death & Rebirth. the weekend is coming? i have no faith in me but saturdays are traditionally the day i have the most hours of uninterrupted... everything so maybe i can buckle down and shove my face in the pie :D

I'm sending you a virtual hug/pat on the shoulder, whatever works best for you.

I can tell you which WU are important for what, so you can pace what you want to read and when. GoA is a shorter myth than the others we have seen, and of course if it's better for you, you can skip the liveblogging as you watch it and just stick to the notes you need for lore. The game definitely shouldn't be a chore, let alone you writing in this forum!
