The whole DS/BA thing was badly handled I feel. Either have hints that are discoverable ingame like the full win hints, or at the very least, dont require it for some badges. Thats a real kick in the teeth, as well as not being able to find it ANYWHERE online. I used to be real salty about not being able to pick it up, so I understand his comment

PS Im not gonna watch anime for hints.

Hmm...  A known trouble-maker or something?

Short answer: yes.

You're not the only one :)

While I can understand the initial idea, I feel it just went too far.  With conditions changing (insignificantly, from what I guess) between several versions just to "revive the secret"... not, and this, to a quite ridiculous point now (initial "conditions" made sense, but what about the current ones ? ... seriously !)

Add to this that I barely ever found this crap : 2 or 3 times in my Ao666 game, and not more in some other. And thats ALL, over about 200 won games and 1000 failed ones !  This, contributes to make it a really frustrating item.


note : I know the conditions, but didn't have any opportunity to grab the thing in a serious game.  I also tried to create a few, but I suck at avoiding damages with a low level char vs recurring waves of monsters, and screwd my save of 2013 recently, so... I still don't have any badge/medal involving it.
I won't put too much efforts in getting a weapon which negates 2/3 of my screen colors channels anyway, but having it deny a part of the game remains annoying.


Oh, and btw, if you want to get some "howTo", well... I prefer playing fair with KK, even if I disagree with that choice, but you'd get all the informations you need with a few searches and deductions :)

Oh, me too.  I understand where the anger comes from; that's why I put a (hopefully) kindly, understanding response.  Still would've been nice to not be called an "asshole," though.  :)

Tormuse:
Also, I've been meaning to ask...  Does anyone know the true action time of the Whirlwind ability?  The Wiki says it takes "the cost of 8 melee attacks minus 5.0s," but if that's true, then with Finesse, it should take zero time, (or close to zero) but whenever I used it in the above game, the enemies got multiple attacks in, which suggests that it actually takes more than a second.

The same with the Hell Staff; any time I used it, enemies got multiple attacks in, which suggests that it's taking more than a second, (I found that out the very, very hard way) and being a technician in this game didn't seem to make a difference.

It would probably take a code dive to answer these questions, but does anyone know?
