i think i got the settings to a decent spot. i could have added a TON of extra checks but decided not to (i could have added literally every sidequest reward and shop item if i wanted to)

Do you know what the expected length of this game is for an archipelago?

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:24 PM Async Archipelago

since i'll be skipping story and i'll have things like x4 exp modifiers it will be signifigantly shortened. maybe 15 hours? depends how good i am at remembering how to reach all the treasure chests, and my goal is not the final boss, but the boss of the 2nd to last dungeon.

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:24 PM Async Archipelago

so as long as i get everything i need to kill that boss i'm good

TinyBomby Apr 24, 2026 12:25 PM Async Archipelago

that's still pretty long. It's fine for an async of course, but you will likely be the last to finish I'd imagine.

polu Apr 24, 2026 12:25 PM Async Archipelago

Yours worked Dialga

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:25 PM Async Archipelago

Since its asynch, probably fine. Wind waker used to take me 7-8 hours when me and Max were in our race arc, but I am super out of practice

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:25 PM Async Archipelago

i would not have picked it if it wasnt async

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:25 PM Async Archipelago

but i saw an excuse to play crosscode again so i wanted to

TinyBomby Apr 24, 2026 12:25 PM Async Archipelago

yeah that's fair

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:26 PM Async Archipelago

the randomizer also marks all the chests if they have things that are progression important or not, so if i need to speed things up i can start ignoring filler chests

TinyBomby Apr 24, 2026 12:27 PM Async Archipelago

oh that's neat

legorhin Apr 24, 2026 12:27 PM Async Archipelago

I just remembered that Xenoblade X Wii U has an archipelago for some reason

legorhin Apr 24, 2026 12:27 PM Async Archipelago

if you want an even longer game...

Click to see attachment 🖼️

@TinyBomby you can see here, there's a green chest icon. that one has a progression item in it. the red ones are only red because i havent been to the zone yet, they get re-colored once i enter that screen

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:30 PM Async Archipelago

there's also a dark blue for "useful" items, w/e that means

TinyBomby Apr 24, 2026 12:31 PM Async Archipelago

I know in Pokemon, random things like pokeballs are considered useless, but a TM may be considered a useful item.

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:34 PM Async Archipelago

Your useful items mostly ended up being area keys and items iirc

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:34 PM Async Archipelago

from the test we did

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:35 PM Async Archipelago

weapons is what I mean by items

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:51 PM Async Archipelago

There is apparently a kirby amazing mirror early alpha now. Won't risk trying such a new one, but next time we do this if that's more done, I'll do it

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:52 PM Async Archipelago

okay, i may have to postpone my other idea until next time we do archipelago. this thing is unfinished, maybe ill make my own simpler apworld

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:53 PM Async Archipelago

on that note, still want to get more experience with archipelago and have time for async. has anyone done civ6 before, think thats what ill do

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 12:53 PM Async Archipelago

how would randomizing a civ game work

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:53 PM Async Archipelago

No one here has done civ 6

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:53 PM Async Archipelago

I assume buildings, science, etc are randomized

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:53 PM Async Archipelago

so you have to find them to use them

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:54 PM Async Archipelago

no clue but at least its a game i know well enough, and its officially supported

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:54 PM Async Archipelago

a very small amount of games fot that criteria for me

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:54 PM Async Archipelago

hell mario kart was iffy last time ope

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:55 PM Async Archipelago

I would not limit yourself to just official support tbh

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 12:55 PM Async Archipelago

I think as long as it looks like it is being actively worked on and its not too recent, it should be fine

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:56 PM Async Archipelago

its built into the offical archipelago client

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:56 PM Async Archipelago

ill try testing after work tn

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:57 PM Async Archipelago

I would not limit yourself to just official support tbh

even the other options, i barely know any video game

mint Apr 24, 2026 12:58 PM Async Archipelago

osu maybe, there is tragically no mahjong

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 1:07 PM Async Archipelago

clearly you should do buckshot roulette. don't ask me what they could possibly be randomizing

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:15 PM Async Archipelago

Between air ride and melee, I've decided I will try doing melee as my second game

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:15 PM Async Archipelago

I will want to test it tonight

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:20 PM Async Archipelago

Also formal request to polu to look into/figure out to how to set the hint % thing and lower it to 5%

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:20 PM Async Archipelago

I think that will shave off 2-3 hours for everyone

osu maybe, there is tragically no mahjong

is osu on archipelago? what would count as "finishing" osu?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:20 PM Async Archipelago

Osu is on AP, mint did it one of the earlier times we did AP

mint Apr 24, 2026 1:21 PM Async Archipelago

i dont thibk we gto very far in tbat run of archipelago. and no clue what was needed to win

mint Apr 24, 2026 1:22 PM Async Archipelago

would def try that one again but i havent played osu in a while and iirc the rando was hard

This is really easy to do if you do it through the website

mint Apr 24, 2026 1:24 PM Async Archipelago

and i think it requirss the stable client, which i dont want to install and set up

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:25 PM Async Archipelago

Lowering Wind waker to 15 checks per hint instead of 30 will make it so much nicer is purely why I said 5%, I am fine with whatever, but 10% is a lot

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 1:26 PM Async Archipelago

Also Vimms is fucking dead (downloads are slow as shit) so I am just torrenting smash melee lmao

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 1:28 PM Async Archipelago

it would make my life easier too

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 1:28 PM Async Archipelago

my hint cost was 37

polu Apr 24, 2026 1:44 PM Async Archipelago

Also formal request to polu to look into/figure out to how to set the hint % thing and lower it to 5%

I set it to 5%

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:34 PM Async Archipelago

Alright nevermind, I figured out smash on my own, no testing needed

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:34 PM Async Archipelago

will fix up my settings for wind waker and send them over

legorhin Apr 24, 2026 2:38 PM Async Archipelago

how do you win melee?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:38 PM Async Archipelago

100 trophies, + beat giga bowser + beat master hand + beat event 51

legorhin Apr 24, 2026 2:39 PM Async Archipelago

and locations are trophy spawns?

polu Apr 24, 2026 2:40 PM Async Archipelago

You also got to do all the target tests

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:40 PM Async Archipelago

Clearing every event, clearing normal mode and adventure mode with each character, bonuses (only the easy ones), break the target (all characters), 10 man melee (all characters),

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:40 PM Async Archipelago

and a few misc things

Dialga Apr 24, 2026 2:41 PM Async Archipelago

why are you doing 2 games?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:41 PM Async Archipelago

You only start with events and the trophy lottery, you have to unlock the other modes

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:41 PM Async Archipelago

because its asynchrous so you can do multiple fairly easily, most people are doing 2

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:41 PM Async Archipelago

(you do not have to do 2)

polu Apr 24, 2026 2:41 PM Async Archipelago

So far you are the only one doing one

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:42 PM Async Archipelago

here is all the stuff the tracker lets you see

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:43 PM Async Archipelago

I might turn off bonuses tbh

legorhin Apr 24, 2026 2:43 PM Async Archipelago

Is mewtwo unlock made easier or junked?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:43 PM Async Archipelago

They have a section called "hard things" where you can turn it on. It is junk by default

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:43 PM Async Archipelago

they lowered it to 1 hour of VS mode though

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:44 PM Async Archipelago

instead of the original 20

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:44 PM Async Archipelago

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:44 PM Async Archipelago

also the lottery pool is a progressive upgrade, so I have to get sent the ability to get more trophies from it

polu Apr 24, 2026 2:45 PM Async Archipelago

I have confirmed Pika's YAMLs

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:45 PM Async Archipelago

Okay now replace smash with this one

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 2:45 PM Async Archipelago

I turned off bonus's

mint Apr 24, 2026 4:15 PM Async Archipelago

how long are we doing this for. ill be available this weekend, but next wed-sunday ill be unable to play

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 4:18 PM Async Archipelago

I mean, its async so...

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 24, 2026 4:18 PM Async Archipelago

I guess just try to do what you can while you can

mint Apr 24, 2026 4:18 PM Async Archipelago

just want to make sure it wont hurt yall too much if im mia for like 5 days

TinyBomby Apr 24, 2026 4:22 PM Async Archipelago

worst case scenario, we can forcibly release your games if everyone else is 100% done and waiting on you while you're out
