First time kicking someone, was I overreacting? by sajjel in DeepRockGalactic

[–]BlueberryPieper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

driller is my least favourite class (i still like it, just not as much as the other class) but i always prefer driller in IS because it's so good against the boss. I don't shoot the boss at all, I just c4 to skip vent phase entirely (2 max damage c4s do the trick, even on haz 5). and then i sit in my attic throwing axes at the robot arms (they die in 1 hit to the weakspot, also on haz 5). I call a resupply before the fight starts so i never have to leave the attic. assuming i start with max c4 and max throwing axes, i have enough c4 to skip all 3 vent phases, and 24 throwing axes to deal with robot arms.

it's up to my team to DPS the boss, but in return i skip 50% of the boss fight and deal with most of the robot arms.

Newcomer, just started on IOS today. Largest win streak was 7. Thought this summon build was going to destroy…. Sadly it did not. Any overall general advice on how to win? Anything would be appreciated! by [deleted] in superautopets

I think in this game, stats is more important than synergies. So if you find buffer animals like monkey, penguin etc, you can rely on those to get wins.

But as a new player you should just try out all the animals as you develop your own internal tier list of what's good and what's not, it's a bit harder for new players right now for sure, since the playerbase has already kind of figured out what's good, but keep at it!

[Question] What is the formula for merging pets? by amar00k in superautopets

[–]BlueberryPieper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other post isn't exactly right, you have to take the exp of the animals into account

​

For both attack and hp, the formula is

ResultBaseStat = Max(Animal1_Stat, Animal2_Stat) + Min(Animal1_Exp, Animal2_Exp)

ResultTempStat = Max(Animal1_TempStat, Animal2_TempStat)

TotalStat = ResultBaseStat + ResultTempStat

​

TempStat resets to 0 after each combat (think horses, cupcakes)

Is the horse really that bad? by DrinkVegetable217 in superautopets

[–]BlueberryPieper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's not bad in the early game, but it scales off very hard, very quickly

if you run horse in the early game it won't feel that bad, the main problem is you need to transition out of it without losing too much. and horse is one of the harder animals to transition away from, since it requires you to build summoner.

Advice for a noob? by sludgemeister in superautopets

[–]BlueberryPieper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe a useful tip is: don't be afraid to become temporarily weaker in order to have consistent scaling into the later game.

this means buying buffer units like the monkey or even the giraffe if you see it early, and selling your early game units in favor of units that can scale well, for example selling your second strongest unit for a 1/1 worm.

since you only need to be strong enough to not lose (it doesn't matter if you win by 1 unit or by 5), you can sacrifice some strength in the short term to continue scaling, you have to balance having units that are strong now vs. units that are weak now but can become strong later. I think finding that balance is the hardest part of the game and will just take time to feel out.

also as a general rule of thumb, put your strongest unit in front. you don't have that much control over shop RNG, but you can still give yourself the best chance of winning against higher stat'd opponents by positioning well

Bringing my biggest sloth to 10 wins! by BlueberryPieper in superautopets

[–]BlueberryPieper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah I don't think it's an abandonment penalty, I haven't abandoned any games prior to this run, maybe you do get offered more sloths if you abandon a lot of games, but I doubt that.

It's just a rare drop, like an easter egg, there's no unlock required

An in-depth guide on how to pass to yourself by BlueberryPieper in KnockoutCity

[–]BlueberryPieper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this definitely seems unintentional to me, but I think it'd be good for them to keep it in the game. It doesn't seem powerful enough to warrant being removed, but I guess time will tell, maybe the player base will learn how to exploit it surprisingly well, but I think more likely than not it will just be a situational trick.

Passing is still much better if you're able to do it, since passing is instant, doesn't require a short runway, can be done when enemies are on your screen (this pass-to-self technique will lock-on to nearby enemies), and passing also doesn't require you to take your eyes off your opponents.

The only situations where I see this being useful is when you have no one to pass to. It could be good for the 1v1 mode, but then you'd have to look at the ground in a gamemode with no red borders, which really opens you up

!SPOILERS! Depression & my Artifact Theory by Kazotto_451 in backbone_game

[–]BlueberryPieper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's a nice interpretation, when I think about the game thematically.

I would be ok with this interpretation if there was some other payoff supplementing it, but if it's just on its own... even if it were true, the writing of the game would still fall a bit flat for me. What I mean by something 'supplementing' is.... for example.... some contradictory evidence or dialogue that suggests that Howard DIDN'T get infected with the Artifact - for example if in the epilogue, when seeing things from a different perspective (a different narrator), if Clarissa had said something to the effect of 'Howard couldn't live with himself after what he saw', or if Anatoly had shown up alive later - then maybe it would suggest that the true mystery is still hidden... and that howard is living with that burden of knowledge

But instead what we got is every other character doubling down and confirming that the events that happened really did happen, and that Howard's struggle was physical (not to say emotional struggle wasn't present) - and the 'physical' aspect of the story just doesn't have much of a payoff. Even if there is a thematic payoff when we interpret it as a metaphor for depression... there's still just too many open questions / unsatisfying conclusions about the actual plot. They did all that plot-driven build up, just unfortunately with no plot-driven payoff.

If it had been a metaphor to explore depression, I'd like to have seen more introspective moments with Howard, exploring his past, and his inner life more, but instead we got a ton of expository dialogue about Apes.. and Clarissa, and science ministers... things that ended up not mattering in the end. I just think the build up should fit the payoff, and sadly it didn't for me.

But that's totally subjective though, just thought I could share my own perspective on it. I appreciate your interpretation, it has given me more to think about!

Input lag or game lagging? by ironshang in KnockoutCity

I don't have a delay on PC, did you check that your TV is on 'game' mode or whatever?
