Happy Nwyear. Yeah, Nwyear. Merry Crimmas and happy Nwyear.
Many incredible breakthroughs ; so many problems relating to Hubert solved, it was awesome. But as this video shows, ACS remains a glitchy game.
While trying the Chaos Mode I designed for Hubert, the "Dead CPU re-dying" glitch went out of control. This makes fighting difficult ; dead bosses "absorb" about half of the damage your Mystic Artes do, because the game targets them instead of the living one you're trying to kill. At least it doesn't force my character to look at them, like another glitch does.
This glitch typically happens if a boss dies while still having Penetrate frames. But as the video tells, apparently that's not the whole story ; Little Queen died without any. Or maybe it's because she's been in OVL almost the entire battle.
Ok, problem : while it SHOULD only last 10 seconds at most, Hubert's Arrow Rain CAN cause this glitch. (but since it lasts forever, I think the game is fucking up too)
I'm facing a big design problem :
- If Arrow Rain doesn't stun the foe, as in this video, then this glitch can happen. Or at least, it is worsened.
- If Arrow Rain stuns the foe, it's overpowered. I tried, and the enemy is literally stuck midair. I can reduce the frequency of hits, but then Arrow Rain is weak and feels weird.
What to do? I'll probably keep it as is, but I'm open for any suggestions you might have.
Oh, and Alexei's is weird. He likes to cause bugs, even this one, making the battle a fuckfest after he dies (as if fighting him wasn't ridiculous enough). I'm guessing here, but maybe this is the reason why Anibache always put Alexei as the last boss, alone. A shame - not quite the luck-based challenge I want to face after I beat 6 other bosses.
One last thing. I take back everything I said about W8's new Movie Maker being decent. It's HORRIBLE! The one good feature backfires CRAZY hard : Every time you do pretty much anything, it jumps around the video timeline, forcing me to waste 5-10 seconds to find out where I am... every 5 seconds. An old problem in WMM, but now worse than ever. And a plethora of new problems. I'm going to try new programs instead of this insult to humanity. Again, if anyone has suggestions, please share!
