【Floor 11 Black Sun】: Stop right there, stop right there.
All of you upstairs crying innocent, stop acting. None of you are innocent at all, okay?
Your classes are all popular choices for tabletop sessions. Especially some of those signature classes known as squad-wipe engines—how do you have the nerve to play the victim and complain here?
【Floor 12 Black Sun】: I will never forget my first tabletop session, when a temporarily insane folklorist killed me with a critical success.
Innocent my foot. There is no such thing as an innocent folklorist.
【Floor 13 End of Century Affection】: Anyone here to do a serious analysis?
I've been scrolling through a whole bunch of meme posts and almost forgot this is a class-restricted instance.
Can some veteran explain in detail what the actual rule is for selecting players in this class-restricted instance?
【Floor 14 Faded Wedding Dress in the Castle】: Camping here for an analysis too.
I'm dying of curiosity. The system's selection this time is truly a mess. Supernatural classes are mixed with a bunch of liberal arts and art classes. I can't make heads or tails of it.
【Floor 15 Oh My God】: Seeing the roast on Floor 11 suddenly inspired me.
I suddenly have a very fresh angle to analyze the player selection for this class-restricted instance. Anyone want to hear it?
It's about the Spirit value.
【Floor 16 Sweet Bunny Ears】: Perking up my bunny ears. Please begin your thesis, poster above.
【Floor 17 Oh My God】: It's very simple. The Spirit value is actually the Sanity value. Everyone knows this common sense, right?
Then you should also know that, generally speaking, besides spellcasting skills, the vast majority of exploration-type skills also consume Spirit.
If you don't know, go find an informational post on the forum yourself. Both of these are very basic common sense in Anomalous Infection.
【Floor 18 Oh My God】: Keeping this common sense in mind, let's look at the classes designated for the “Fog Mountain Ancient House” instance this time.
Mediums, spirit mediums, and shamans are the types that mainly use spells to consume Spirit.
As for the other classes dragged in, the most classic examples are the reporter and the novelist. Aren't their skills clearly exploration-based? Since exploration skills consume Spirit, doesn't that fit perfectly?
So, “Fog Mountain Ancient House” is a supernatural-exploration-oriented class-restricted instance. What the system filtered wasn't a narrow range of supernatural classes, but rather the entire broad category of classes that consume Spirit.
【Floor 19 Baked Cheese Archaeology】: It all makes sense now.
I was wondering how a pure archaeologist like me got dragged into a supernatural instance. So this is the root cause.
It really is. My retrieval and origin-tracing skills all require consuming Spirit.
Although most of the time, before my Spirit even drops to the twenty percent danger line, my skill charges are already depleted.
I've never actually experienced what it feels like to suffer from mental overexertion.
But in essence, they are skills that consume Spirit, so they indeed met the selection criteria.
【Floor 20 Pure Additives No Natural】: Case closed.
I match as a psychologist too. Psychological intervention, hypnotic suggestions, and the like are all skills that consume Spirit. No wonder I couldn't escape.
【Floor 21 Wildfire】: Terrifying if you think about it, and still terrifying even if you don't.
So the system's selection for class-restricted instances doesn't look at the superficial category of the class, but rather the compatibility of the core attributes?
I saw a post summarizing the rules of restricted instances before. It was quite well-written and very logical. I didn't expect it to actually be wrong.
【Floor 22 Xun】: Wait, I have a question then.
The photographer class can barely be considered visual perception-oriented, so let's count it as an exploration class too.
But I have a friend whose class is Painter, and he was also dragged into the “Fog Mountain Ancient House” instance this time. What does painting have to do with mental depletion? None of his class skills consume Spirit either.
This doesn't make sense, does it?
【Floor 23 Where's My Reflector?】: What do you mean “let's count it as one too”?
None of my class skills consume Spirit either.
At the end of the day, how do these art-related classes even remotely touch upon supernatural exploration?
【Floor 24 Welcome to McDonald's】: Hahaha, since no one upstairs is speaking up for painters, let me fill in with a ritual of his own.
Archaeologists indeed aren't innocent, but as a painter, I am extremely innocent.
May I ask what the system was thinking when it dragged me into this supernatural instance? Did it want me to paint an exclusive portrait of the final boss?
【Floor 25 Just Making Up the Numbers】: Lmao, poster above, your vision is still too small.
A painter can just paint a funeral portrait for the final boss on the spot, focusing on sending them off in advance just in case. It's actually quite fitting.
【Floor 26 Wish I Knew Better】: You guys are silly, your vision is still a bit too small.
Painters are basically the physical education students of the art world. Why paint a funeral portrait? They should just grab their easel and bash the final boss with it over and over.
Problem solved.
【Floor 27 Don't Hit Me, I'm Feeding】: Hahahahaha, are you out of your mind? That's not a painter's style, that's Sister Wan's style, right?
【Floor 28 Oh My God】: You bunch of memers actually just delivered the answer right to my doorstep.
Painters and photographers are all artistic classes. Those who haven't played Call of Cthulhu probably won't get it, but artistic classes are widely recognized as high-risk occupations for mental health.
According to CoC settings, these classes have very high Inspiration. They easily perceive things ordinary people can't, and they're easily influenced.
Their Spirit values are inherently unstable to begin with. This is still related to the Spirit value, okay?
【Floor 29 Chasing the Wind and Moon】: Nice, I've been convinced by the poster above again.
If that's the case, will future class-restricted instances all be categorized by core attributes?
Then let me dream in advance of a Physicality-restricted instance. The content would focus on physical tanking, with a team of full tanks battling anomalies to the death.
Even if we can't beat the anomaly, we can at least stuff it to death.
【Floor 30 God of Mount Akina】: Poster above really dares to dream.
Then I'll dream of an Agility-restricted instance. As a driver, I'm already rubbing my hands in anticipation.
【Floor 31 Beast's Sleep Quality】: ???
What does the Agility attribute have to do with you being a driver?
【Floor 32 God of Mount Akina's reply】: How does it not? Driving relies on reflexes, hand speed, and positioning. It's all related to the Agility attribute.
And who's to say I can't evolve my class into a Racer in the instance?
They both involve cars, so it's definitely feasible.
【Floor 33 Poor God Bless Me with Wealth】: I get it.
Driver and Racer are neighboring pathways, so Beyonders of the Driver pathway are allowed to switch to the Racer pathway.
【Floor 34 A'meng】: Interesting. (Pinch of a non-existent monocle)
【Floor 35 Ray】: Stop, stop, stop, don't let your imaginations run wild just yet!
According to what you guys said, this class-restricted instance was filtered by the Spirit attribute. But the previous class-restricted instance that can be found on the forum was called “Wandering in a Garden, Waking from a Dream”.
That instance was restricted to theater-related classes back then. Which attribute could that possibly correspond to?
Therefore, this hypothesis is false.
Rate on N.U.
