If you're even able to cast Glacial Strike four times, it means you and Mohtir have both been extremely hyperdefensive. Mohtir is not actually hard to beat at all if you just aggro rush him before he can get off his physical resist gems.
TBH I am getting the impression the people struggling against Mohtir are all unaware that he can create physical resist gems. Do people just not read the gem enchants? You're gonna have a really tough time in any fight that way.
It used to have the tag, and no longer does... that change probably wasn't an accident, so I think it was originally planned, but the dev decided against it.
That or the dev thought removing it would somehow remove the shadow ban that should have been removed just by requesting support, since NSFW games aren't shadowbanned anymore unless they aren't tagged.
Wind has a healing spell, and so does Light once you unlock the fortune teller. There's also a physical ability that creates heal gems. Also, Earth is very good at moving gems, which can help generate larger groupings of heal gems if you really need to heal.
Water is generally pretty weak early, though I'm told it's powerful in later chapters (wouldn't know because I'm not a Patron).
The best defensive combination might actually be Earth/Wind, which gives you Rock enchant that can reduce enemy actions, Air enchant which can nullify enemy matches, physical resist gems from Earth, a heal from Wind, multiple ways to move gems (either specific gems or randomly) from both Earth and Wind, and Wind damage that will swap Rock gems with another gem randomly.
Huh? The beach party doesn't have anything to do with the bar. You just go to Sammuel and tell him you want a beach party. There *is* a scene at the beach involving the bar, but that's just with Katari.
I guess it's possible you need to have visited the bar for the option with Sammuel to be visible? I don't know.
I use both Wind Cutter and Gust Cutter, spamming them with the help of Incantation Headband. I don't use any big attack like Shield Crush, because I find it takes too long to get going when most regular enemies are already dead by then, though I get how Shield Crush is more effective against the boss battles.
My build is very different, but yeah, I also really think Wind is the strongest element. It's by far the most versatile. Maybe that's not true anymore past Ch 2, I dunno... not a Patron.
That said, there's... actually nothing preventing you from changing your skillset before every fight, so it's entirely possible it's best to have multiple sets that are really powerful at specific things rather than one hyper-versatile set. But I'm pretty sure most people don't swap their skills before every fight.
Well, I didn't pick that route, but if Holoryx is on your ship I assume that means you sided against him. If there is no option to recruit him, either you haven't talked to Isaac about it (possibly because Isaac isn't on your ship), or possibly Garth rules floor 1 (Dunno if this prevents it, but I know the Garth content is incomplete).
I think the entire ring thing is massively bugged. If you just say "Not today," it never shows up again and has no mechanical effect but the flavor text still acts like you're wearing it.
EDIT: Okay, there are just tons of bugs all over. The money gain has absolutely zero relevance to the amount displayed next to it. Some jobs are completely inaccessible. Leveling up just... increases your health, a stat which doesn't seem to matter at all. The instructor tells you to go to their office on Thursday, but they have no office, so you can't. Skipping classes seems to have zero impact on anything. Studying increases your willpower despite claiming to increase your intelligence.
I don't think the heal is bad at all. It's actually the best spell Water gets, and I've discovered that Bubbles can be good depending on your build. It's just the rest of the Water spells that do nothing. I'd even say Water's heal is better than Wind's heal, but Wind has the advantage of being a really strong element overall, just with a worse heal spell.
Hm... I have no experience with Macs, but I can't imagine why this would be unless you have an issue with fonts. I have heard of people having issues typing vowels on Mac, which was sometimes fixed by resetting their Font Book. This isn't the same issue, but it does suggest the Macs for whatever reason separate vowels and consonants in their font interpretation software.
TBH I didn't realize it was possible, but according to the wiki he does have a route. So... either I missed the window to initiate it, it's locked by my choices, or it's extremely undeveloped to the point that I didn't realize I was already on it. It does say it's a romantic route and I probably wouldn't have picked any overtly romantic options, but I do have 14 relationship points with him.
Nearly everything marked as WIP is on a recently added planet or Level 2 of Akra Leuca, which was also recently added. Some of these are tied together and therefore cannot be completed independently.
What you should actually be complaining about, if anything, is all the in-progress arcs that aren't marked as such.
I'm a bit confused how to continue to gain affinity with characters now. They used to show up at the Morning Song sometimes and I could gain affinity then, but no one ever shows up there anymore.
EDIT: I see below you've mentioned it's a chance. Seems like it used to be all the time and now it's never, so maybe that's just the percentage chance evening out.
I'm not a paid supporter either, but based on what is visible, Chapter 7 is finished, but only the first half of Chapter 7 has been released to Patreon supporters, as of December. So I'm guessing that December through now have involved (in part or in full) either debugging Chapter 7, writing Chapter 8, or both.
The sequence of major arcs unlocks in order. It's possible to go back to things that you never finished, but not skip over entire arcs -- there are a few arcs that you can miss based on your choices, but they can't be returned to if you do. If you're noticing inconsistencies, it's probably because you started a quest line and never finished it (or the next part just isn't implemented yet) before moving on to another. Or, you might be just reading text for an event that already happened, regardless of how long ago, but those instances should be pretty obvious.
Though, TBH, the story is starting to branch out more, and it's possible the order might be less fixed once more arcs are complete.
Unless you're talking about the Harmonia University arc? That arc certainly doesn't make any sense time-wise, but it never will unless you're actually locked into it, which wouldn't be very fun.
