Protecting the smile of best girl Rem… It’s been almost two and a half years since I entered the world of Dollfie Dream and started my first custom Dollfie project, Arcueid Brunestud. It would take me another 8 months before I finally completed her (during which I ended up adopting an official Volks Saber Lily), after which I decided that would be the end of it and I would live happily ever after. Or so I thought… While 2016 was a shitty year in various other areas, it was a decent one for anime. More Gundam, more One adaptations, some …

The first half hour (see running timestamp on bottom right) was Kyoukai + TJJTDS vs EvilPhoenix + CoTP + Tenacious for defending Calpheon castle. After Critical finished their Serendia territory war, they joined us in Calpheon and we tagged out to help Breakthrough + ManUp fight for Valencia castle (to return the favour from Breakthrough for Calpheon a few weeks prior) against Gravity …

“Hold The Gate”, territory war video for Black Desert Online, Edan (NA) server, 2016/07/24 Recorded by DesireeNA, lvl 56 Witch Kyoukai: http://kyoukai-pvp.com/forums/ Black Desert Online: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/ Discussion: http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/104522-video-hold-the-gate-black-desert-online-kyoukai-territory-war-2016-07-24-edan/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/4ucqct/video_hold_the_gate_black_desert_online_kyoukai/ This weekend’s Balenos territory war on the Edan (NA) server between Kyoukai + Novus + Critical against Lethality + CoTP + Reapers + Paradigm + EvilPhoenix (previously MalumFactum). Was a super long but fun 3v5 fight that we managed to finish with just under 15 minutes left on the clock (conquest forts take a long, long time to break!). In the forum post for the last video, someone mentioned Kyoukai …

“Low Tier”, node war video for Black Desert Online, Edan (NA) server, 2016/07/18 Recorded by DesireeNA, lvl 56 Witch Kyoukai: http://kyoukai-pvp.com/forums/ Black Desert Online: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/ Discussion: http://forum.blackdesertonline.com/index.php?/topic/103150-video-low-tier-black-desert-kyoukai-node-war-2016-07-18-edan/ Video footage from this Monday’s node war for the Omar Lava Cave Tier 2 node on the Edan (NA) server. It was Kyoukai and our ally, Critical, against MalumFalcum, Volun, and Paradigm. Despite it being a 2v3, we ended up wiping out all three guilds with ease, quite ironic given that a few members of their alliance was calling Kyoukai a “low tier guild” in channel chat prior to the start of node …

This was the first node war day of the official siege season. The war turned out to be a 1v1 with Kyoukai against Prey, lasting over 2 hrs before the channel server crashed (resulting in neither guilds winning the node and promised server investigations by the GMs). Regardless, it was a fun long fight, …

“Kyoukai vs The World”, territory war video for Black Desert Online, Edan (NA) server Recorded by DesireeNA, lvl 56 Witch Kyoukai: http://kyoukai-pvp.com/forums/ Black Desert Online: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/ Video footage from this weekend’s territory war for the Balenos territory on the Edan (NA) server. Our allied guilds were unable to place their forts (no space available), so we ended up fighting solo against a 6-guild alliance consisting of MalumFactum, Paradigm, KGB, Lethality, Volun, and Reapers. We were drastically outnumbered and it ended up being a 40-minute long defence war, after which Volun was fed the territory through a dice roll (from what …

Earlier this year, I made a bunch of Fate/Grand Order cards on a whim to hand out to Fate cosplayers and F/GO players at Sakura-con 2016. Being a last-minute idea, they were cheaply made using simple sheets of paper and some packing tape. Despite this, people loved them and I quickly ran out before the end of the 3-day con. And so, for this upcoming Anime Expo 2016, however, I decided to make a second batch of cards, but in larger quantities and much higher quality. Me in my Male Protagonist (Gudao) cosplay holding up my Team Basaka. Except replaced …

“Platinum Ninja”, 1v1 Arena PvP video for Blade & Soul NA, Mushin server Recorded by Desiree, lvl 45 Blade Dancer Build: https://bnstree.com/BD Blade & Soul: http://www.bladeandsoul.com/en/ I was digging through my video recordings folder and found really old footage of me hitting Platinum for 1v1 arenas prior to the PvP season (aka right before arena got flooded with Destroyer/KFM bots). It’s not really impressive footage but figured I might as well upload it since I don’t have any other recordings of me PvPing in Blade & Soul. Plus I did promise myself to use “Ninja Re Bang Bang” in one …

Reddit post: DP Damage Reduction Scaling Calculations from blackdesertonline Copy-paste archive: Spoiler: To accompany the previous [AP damage scaling calculations](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackdesertonline/comments/4iow0q/ap_damage_scaling_calculations/), I did some DP damage reduction scaling tests. This time, I used my lvl 55 witch at 110 AP against a lvl 52 warrior with 188 DP. Again, Multiple Magic Missiles was used and the hit counts factored into the calculations. I tested against 188/170/139/107/0 DP by having the test target warrior take off pieces of armour. Each set of trials was 50 tests. Unlike the AP calculations, the DP damage reduction calculations weren’t so conclusive. While damage reduction is …
