It gets little updates every week or two, and there are a bunch of limited time events like for Christmas, New Years, Valentines, that recent Final Fantasy collab event, etc.
Big updates are less frequent, but when they do happen they usually add in shit like new main classes (Monster Tamer is the most recent there), side story quests that expand on the backstory of characters and bosses from the main quest, the Colosseum and the Casino, the whole fucking "YOU MUST BECOME THE RULER OF TIME AND KILL THE KING OF ALL CALAMITY, ESTARK HIMSELF" thing, quest to increase current level cap by 5 levels (until very recently almost solely for the purpose of being able to stand half a chance against Estark, hah), etc.
One of the smaller updates was fairly recent actually, and added in KING HYDRA the monster that REALLY killed Ortega in DQ3. I haven't fought it yet, but I saw a video of a party of 4 people all at the level cap being completely slaughtered by it.

As far as levels go, I've only maxed out Gladiator. So that's 1 class out of 13, but I got all the others around or above level 30-50 anyway so it shouldn't take THAT long to max a few more.
Equipment, well, I've got the strongest Greatsword and Hammer in the game. Next target is the strongest one-handed sword. Armor, I've got the Battle Dress set (for levels 50 and upwards) which gives me a HUGE evasion boost, and I've almost collected the entire Great Mantle set (levels 75 and upwards), which has a 10% chance to auto-cast Oomph at the start of any battle (maximum Attack buff).
I have some pretty fun Accessories as well. The Battle Choker which is Atlas' rare drop (STR+7), a MAX enhanced Ring of Strength (originally STR+2, mine is STR+9 lol), a Power Charm (Normally STR+5, mine's STR+8), and a Black Eyepatch (5% chance to give a moderate Attack buff at the start of a battle).
I've also maxed out Gladiator, Shield, Hammer, and Greatsword skill sets, next up is one-handed sword.
As far as raw Strength goes, I've seen comparatively few people with higher. With the Greatsword equipped, my Attack is around 460. The absolute highest I've seen is about 502 which is pretty much INCREDIBLE HULK-tier.


The only bosses I haven't beat are, in order of difficulty: Belial, The Gods of Evil (Atlas, Pazuzu, and Belial, AT THE SAME TIME), Dragon Gaia (will probably be fighting this one soon since I picked up his summon card pretty recently), Baramos (last time I fought him he wiped out my party in one hit lol), King Hydra (was only added to the game like 5 days ago), Estark, and lastly (and possibly the most terrifying boss in any Dragon Quest game ever) ESTARK AFTER HE HAS LITERALLY CRAWLED THE FUCK BACK UP OUT OF HELL, BLINDED BY BLOODTHIRSTY RAGE WITH HALF OF HIS BODY ROTTING AWAY.
Estark is actually SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT that they've increased the level cap 2 or 3 times for the sole purpose of making him less overwhelmingly powerful, AND the fact that it's literally impossible with just one party so they let 2 full parties (8 people) fight him at the same time.
To show just how goddamn scary Estark is, here's a couple of videos (latter is a massive spoiler if you care about that, though it's not like the game's getting localized anytime soon anyway.)

Gameplay looks rather fun, as a merge of usual MMOs and turn based action.

>>74306
The single most interesting part about the gameplay is the Weight stat. If you have higher Weight than your opponent, you can have the party members with the highest Weight and Defense (usually Warriors and Paladins) push and shove the enemy around the battlefield to keep them from hitting the members with lower HP and Defense (Mages, Priests, etc.).
Weight actually plays such a big part in battle that Priests and Paladins have skills/spells that do nothing but make you heavier so that you can hold back bigger enemies (mainly the really huge bosses, like Atlas or Estark), and Warriors have a Skill that does regular damage, but shoves the enemy back a few paces. Hell, the main strategy for beating bosses like Atlas or Pazuzu involves taking a Warrior or Paladin along, having them stand at the front, and from there doing nothing but tanking all the damage while shoving the enemy back into a corner while the Mage blasts off spells one after another (or the Gladiator runs in, smacks the enemy over the head really really hard, runs away for a couple of seconds, runs back and hits them again, etc.), with the Priest's sole job being to keep the wall from turning into a sidewalk.

As a Gladiator though, my specialty is hitting things. Really, really hard.

>>74307
Yeah I looked a little of it in the second video. It looks fun in comparison to other games where the weaker classes need to be under a lot of protection spells and being permahealed.

well

>beat Baramos and King Hydra
Yo Zoma, Baramos has been taking fucking dancing lessons instead of doing his whole "gonna conquer the world" bit. Keeps trying to charm me, the fuck has your Demon Lord been reduced to man. Hurry up and show up so I can smack you up too, I'll even fight you without the Light Orb this time.

...Actually, still haven't beaten Estark yet. Should probably get to work on that first, huh.

Seriously, he spent a good 2 minutes toward the middle of the fight using "Charm Dance" over and over (not an exaggeration, he used it roughly 20 times in rapid succession). That was it, just... Charm Dance. While our whole party was 100% immune to Charm.

He has two other dances! TWO! But no, he was completely determined to charm someone, absolutely anyone, with his mad disco skills.

was depressed for a bit so i haven't done any progress on that thing john, but should start working on it again soon. you vanish forever

>If you were to scientifically explain the "red" we sense when we see an apple, then the explanation must include both the way our eye scans for light of various wavelengths and any sensory stimuli we experience as a result. Thus, we would explore both the way an apple's molecular structure reflects that wavelength's light very well (making it stand out to the eye) as well as how we feel when we see the shade of red. Howeer, we can't know if everyone who perceives those wavelengths assigns them the feelings associated with 'redness' and 'blueness'. It's well known that we feel the sensations known as 'pain' when we are hurt, and 'comfort' when we enter a warm bath, due to electronic signals produced in our brains. But it can also be said that those electronic signals themselves do no actually create 'pain' and 'comfort'. In other words, the state of the electrical impulses in one's brain and any sensations created therefrom can be though of as two separate things. Qualia is the concept give to a genuine sensation that cannot be just explained by 'the brain's current status'. Because qualia are connected to things in people's consciousnesses that can't be explained with just biology and chemistry, qualia have been repeatedly connected to philosophy, as are most things t
hat can't be explained with just languae and physical traits.

For example, when Mr. A and Mr. B see the same red apple, do they both sense the 'same redness'? What if the concept Mr. A calls 'red' is the word that Mr. B uses to describe something 'blue'? This raises an interesting question. Suppose an AI, which is (generally) said to have no consciousness, processes the color of a 'red apple' via its sensors. It registers the light as being 'red'. Can it be said that the AI 'possesses a consciousness', as it perceives redness just like we do? This in turn can raise anothe question. Can it be said that living creatures other than humans have consciousnesses? Does that consciousness experience the same qualia as we do? Can we say that humans other than ourself have consciousnesses, and they're experiencing the same qualia? The questions can go on, and on, and on....

>>74387

This just means that it's impossible to be sure your perspective is the same as others', since there's no way to compare them. It's entirely possible that all people perceive red in the same manner.

Moreover, perception is different from consciousness, since the latter requires evaluation of the perceived inputs.

what happened to estark second phase

>>74402
Fighting him this Saturday... along with his first form again.
Plot spoilers: We killed him once, but powerful magic was cast on the throne room we killed him in. Without restoring the memories of the 4 Great Sages and awakening their powers, the spell can't be removed, and Estark will continue revive there indefinitely.
The twist? Even once you remove the spell and kill Estark for real, he gets so pissed off that he CRAWLS THE FUCK BACK OUT OF HELL WITH A MURDEROUS VENGEANCE, twice as powerful as his first form and five times as terrifying.

>>74418
gj, does that mean you beat the game already?

>>74419
Beat the strongest boss, all the main continent side-story quests, v1.0 main story, v2.0 main story, and just barely started on v2.1 story. There's still the rest of the 2.1 content to go through (which includes a boatload of ridiculously strong bosses, but nothing on the level of Estark), more equipment to collect, and a bunch of classes left to level up.

There's also a good chance that another boss even stronger than Estark will be put in the game one day, but probably not for a good long while still. At the very least it means things will be a lot more easy-going for the time being. Everyone's been grinding like crazy for this boss for the past month or so, and beating him ON THE FIRST TRY was something none of us could ever have seen coming. It was crazy goddamn difficult with people dropping dead every few seconds, but at the same time it was the most fun (and terrifying) boss I've ever fought.

Totally worth all the seals~

hi

Cost me half my Gil, but I am now the Onion Knight.

I think I accidentally discovered DQX's damage cap. After much testing involving my max tension Gladiator and some super saiyan Axe Warriors I have never once seen the damage cross 2000, but it's hit 1999 plenty of times.
Not really sure how to feel about hitting what I suspect to be the damage cap on a regular enough basis to say "Yup, probably not gonna hit much harder than that."

Hey john, is there a tutorial for Kanjitomo? I tried getting it to work on a ds game I emulated but it never scanned any of it correctly. Even with zoom function.

>>74450
From the Settings menu, setting "Text orientation" to "Horizontal" and "Text color" to something besides "Automatic" tends to work for most games.

>>74451
forgot to mention that while it's good for kanji, it's kinda shaky when it comes to kana recognition. probably a good idea to memorize those first.

Some things are just terrible.

I got turned into a Red Slime. Surprisingly strong, actually. High HP, high MP, high Attack, a Magic Defense debuff, and a weak Fire spell. My two friends got turned into a Heal Slime and a Slime Knight. Seems to be based on which class(es) you've used the most up until this point in the game.
