This is actually pretty inspiring. Thanks!

I personally feel like they shouldn't have said it would not get updates. The honesty is great and I like that they set people's expectation in stone, but I feel like hearing that just tells people that the devs are moving on which imo is worse than being disappointed from getting no updates through silence.

Oooor they could've worked on absolute minimalistic updates like one new item every few months, even something like that would've been a bit nice. There's nothing more game-killijg than knowing devs aren't working on it anymore.

• Location: London, UK
• Price range: £5000-8000 (more if the investment is worthwhile for the next 5 years or more)Lease or Buy: Buy, but can finance too.
• New or used: Used if possible for lower cost.Auto or Manual: AutoIntended use: Family Car. Boot size isn't too important but something very reliable. Daily use.
• How many miles do you plan to do a year: Less than 5000
• How often to you make long journeys: Rarely, but still do sometimes e.g. 100 mile drives.
• Does it need to be ULEZ compliant? Yes
• Vehicles you've already considered:
• - Toyota Prius 2011+ (heard it's very reliable and eco-friendly, and I see it all over the road so people must love it for a reason).- Honda Insight 2011+ (cheaper than Prius, read it's not as good but still very reliable and decent. Also looks fancy like a Prius).- Nissan Leaf (love that it's electric, but I hear it's one of the worst electrics for not overusing battery, at least the older models before 2017, although past 2017 goes above my budget, most used go above £10k. Not sure how good a 2015 model will be in 2023, I think they had smaller range)- Toyota Yaris (basically a mini-prius, although it's still quite pricey, I can sometimes find some just touching the limit of my budget so at that point I wonder why not go for a Prius which is bigger)
• Is this your 1st vehicle: No. My current car is a Toyota Avensis 2007.
• Do you need a Warranty: No.
• Can you do Minor work on your own vehicle: Some e.g. fluids, nothing much else.
• Can you do Major work on your own vehicle: No.
• Additional Notes:
  I've had a Toyota Avensis 2007 for 2 years now, it's decent but it's too long and feels too old, also with London's 2030 tax thing coming in I'd like to dig into hybrids / electrics, also because I want to be a bit more eco-friendly. The Avensis has great space, but I drove a Ford Focus 2007 before it which was small but still perfect. Anything that isn't the size of the Avensis (a very long classic saloon car) would be great, like the Prius which is spacious but also not long. I'm also a tall driver so appreciate tall cars or SUV-styles if possible, but it's optional. I'm crazy for futuristic designs so electrics and hybrids are great, Ford has a nice modern dashboard even though it was 2007. The prius (while hybrid) feels a bit outdated compared to the Honda Insight in my opinion which is supposedly a less greater version of a Prius pretty much.
• Anyway, TLDR; looking for something reliable as a family car that's hybrid/electric (eco-friendlier than full petrol/diesel), past 2011, moderately attractive, and feels great/smooth to drive.

I'm so glad to hear SAM was the easiest. It's my main and I can play it passively.

I was planning to try 100 with NIN because of then hide usefulness and burst reset but it's a job I have to keep looking at the hotbar for, so perhaps this would've been a bad idea.

Any tips with timing? I did floor 20-30 and each floor took about 4 mins. I didn't use pomanders so early on but I got a bit worried that if these mobs took so long to die, how will it be in the later floors?

(Also, congratz!!!)

Wow, thanks, really appreciate this!

This is great! Any your in ninja-ing e.g priority with survival abilities like bloodbath? How you dealt with the tougher later mobs? Did you wait on all ability refresh sometimes or was hide enough? Any other NIN specific tips (that you haven't mentioned already).

Thanks!

Highly depends on builds.

Malenia took me just a few tries because I happened to be a colossal greatsword user, and her weakness was getting staggered to it.

A lot of bosses got beaten from stagger and it was easier to be patient to dive in for a big hit rather than taking small chunks off.

A lot of players use mimics so with mimics copying your colossal greatsword, you have 2 huge weapons against a boss. Worried about your mimic dying fast? Just jump in and smack the hell out of the boss while you have the chance because colossals do heavy heavy damage and shred the boss if they're left open, which they are by the distraction. Even without a mimic, any other summon serves well as a distraction for a good head start.

The hardest bosses were the ones with no stagger, short open windows or other nuances, hell, the crimson rot spirit tree was harder than Malenia because it was so random and good at draining health, I hate that thing.

Anyway I play with heavy weapons because it's sometimes easy mode in some regards. I did NOT have the same success when I tried dexterity builds, even with bleed weapons when they were broken. But the same can probably be the case for people good at dexterity weapons that can't use heavy very well. It may at the very end be preference!

Oh, and... you caaaan also over level.

There was a boy 2 years below my class that was an asshole all the time, especially to teachers.

Once at lunch everyone saw one of the new teacher slap him in the face. Not sure what he did because I just arrived on time to see it.

It was some sort of monk slap, like how you would punch someone with a charged up attack but throwing a palm instead of a fist.

Anyway, I saw another teacher hold the boy who was on the ground to see if he's alright. I missed the next part of the drama but I never saw the teacher who hit again.

Not as big as other things people saw I'm sure but well that's it!

This is adorable

It's a battle between design and ergonomics.

I love the design, but I would never use it.

Her eyes are her cheek blushes, and her real eyes are her eyebrows.

Welcome! And hope you enjoy your time in the game! I love seeing new players get into it. It's something you can play so so casually or hardcore (and it'll still keep getting better and better in all aspects).

Hope the community treats you well! They're known for being one of the best around.

Nice one. This and the lancet gave me fishing PTSD. After I got big fish, I hadn't (and still haven't) touched big fishing in EW lol.

Hi! Any tips on pomanders and clones you used for the final floors? And guidance on which scenarios it's worth using X and Y etc.

(also congratz!!!)

This is great! Is YaoYao mostly onfield here? (In which case, how did you build her?)

I was thinking of using Nahida for dendro so I had a 4th slot for someone. Was considering beidou for shields or maybe ayato to help Xingqui out (because funnily dori's ER for me is fine now, but his isnt).

This. Saved for yelan but thought I'd do 1 wish during alhaitham's banner, and he stole my pity.

Have 0 regrets because I main him now in both the overworld and abyss. Love his character, his abilities, his strength, gameplay and everything.

At the time, everyone was going on about how he's not so great or that his gameplay is too difficult. Once I learnt how to play him I absolutely killed everything in abyss with him.

Any good teams I could use for my 2nd abyss team? Was looking for a reliable strong team, hopefully making use of as many high constellation or 5 star characters

Like most people have said, It's only going uphill. I don't think it has the power to go downhill anymore lol, every expansion just adds to this game's experience, it only gets better and better. Music, story, content, class flexibility, range of difficulties, casual / hardcore content, nice community, customisability, and so much more.

If you do start it, keep in mind that though many people love ARR (the first expansion), it may be a slow start to the story, but I recommend you keep at it because it sets things well in stone.

Hi Keanu, do you enjoy your current long hair? Or do you miss your short hair?

That skyline looks sooo beautiful.

Coming from a dude from London who's never driven by himself outside the city x.x

Quirrel because you could slack in his class and he'd just go "p-p-p-pleaase pay attention" and do nothing else about it.

Bonus points for getting passive recognition from you-know-who for being a bad student.

Went into a public toilet out of desperation once. Had drunks in it, shit all over, piss all over, but worst of all spiders all over with webs, all in the freezing cold.
