Nalef780 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 Hello, loving the game so far, however I have one minor gripe with it. This game is advertised as a mod with replayability in mind. However, having to do special episodes to unlock content every time is pretty annoying in my opinion. Is there a way to skip the special episodes/unlock the content without doing them?

SE5 is the only Special Episode actually unlocking something and even then 95% of the game can be done without it. The only thing needed that's behind SE5 is a dungeon for an endgame quest so I don't see how it's not replayable due to that. I could look into what you said but I genuinely don't understand the feedback.

Oh and one more thing in that vein, would releasing a mon mark that species as unobtained and therefore recruitable again? I started a new run and just wanna ask these things before I run into em

Nalef780 Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Do you guys have any tips on how to beat Zero Isle Center? I want to evolve to 2nd stage so bad, I have lv.100, 200+ stats starters and even in vanilla I cannot get past floor 15. Alternatively, is there any other way to get Ascension Mark 2?

I need some tips as well! I have max stats and lv.100 starters and I still can't beat the dungeon.
Nalef780 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Alright, having cleared Zero Isle Center (finally, never again) I am facing a new problem. How do I evolve Hisuian Sneasel? I have the Ascension Mark II, I tried with a bunch of evolution items (Razor Claw, Sun Ribbon) but nothing works. Any idea?

How I beat this god forsaken dungeon (cheese method): Have a low level Pokemon with max stats/almost max stats Set the difficulty to Vanilla, set Level Scaling ON With this method, enemies will be 4/5th of your level (I was level 61 with 250+ stats, cleared with Uxie) and you will take 1-2 damage from every hit Bring a Twist Band so your offensive stats cannot be dropped, bring many apples and max elixirs and be patient.
Nalef780 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Here's more feedback: Vanilla should have the same amount of floors as higher difficulties. It makes no sense that you cannot complete certain missions because you cannot even reach the required floor.

I'll try this out! Thanks for the tips!
ogmechsftw Posted March 19 Posted March 19 (edited) Hi, I think I ran into a bug. Sometime after beating World Abyss, my Shimmer Desert and all other World Treasure Dungeons only goes up to 40F or the lowest number of floors in Expert difficulty, and setting the difficulty to Hardcore through the overworld screen doesn't allow me to enter the dungeon whatsoever. Attached is the save file if you'd like to take a look I took out the mechanical array to free up space and the dungeon lengths returned... it was not a bug oops Edited March 19 by ogmechsftw figured it out
Inperfect Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Hey, loving the rom so far. I did get a few crashes unfortunatly. The first time was whenever i tried watching the cutscene when entering the Shaymin Village. I could still continue playing after skipping it though. Currently i'm in the part where you find manapy's egg (haven't done that yet) and i tried to fight Dialga again. After the Dialoge though it crashes right before the battle. I tried changing settings, sending allies back home, eben putting the Secret Slab back into storage. No luck so far though. I always get an error code. Does it matter that i'm playing on a 3ds?

You probably should try to update your game first as Shaymin cutscene has a skip option you didn't mention. 13 hours ago, Nalef780 said: Here's more feedback: Vanilla should have the same amount of floors as higher difficulties. It makes no sense that you cannot complete certain missions because you cannot even reach the required floor. It was a design choice. Like it or not but story balance goes over mission functioning properly, though I will try to find a way. 14 hours ago, Nalef780 said: Alright, having cleared Zero Isle Center (finally, never again) I am facing a new problem.

Leaky Ye Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Not sure if this has been mentioned already. But for thw next patch, or if possible to make a quick one, can you make it so that escort or Magnezone missions scale with the party. You can imagine how difficult it would be foe the entire dungeon to scale with a lvl 60 Magnezone when my party is around the 30s
zucabravo Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Hey, I noticed you didn't see my question, and it's not in your OP so maybe you could help me out. Where can I check what moves the Pokémon learn? When I try to load up the rom in Sky Temple, I get the error message "143 is not a valid Ability". Thanks for the help!
Inperfect Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I'm already on the latest version. When i said i could continue after skipping it, i did mean with the skip option.

If yes you should disable daily cutscenes.

I am no programmer by any mean, but maybe a solution could be that the additional floors are added only when embarking on a mission? Story balance would be untouched and this problem would be solved.
