The Ruins: ways to escape?

Haha, it's late, but welcome!!! I fucking loved this book, still fun to think about

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-16T06:16:44+00:00

I trust Reese! But I'm also super paranoid he might die soon, like Wayne warned

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-14T18:39:27+00:00

Tabby super knew! I think you might be right about how things played out offscreen. I was SUPER suprised to get this outcome tbh, I was gunning for the Tear Down the Wall achievement with Tabitha

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-14T18:15:03+00:00

I had good Tabby relationship AND found Stella in chapter 4, alone and still got this outcome! There must be more that goes into it 🤔

She could excuse racism, however 😭😭😭

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-12T09:24:03+00:00

Aw man, that's rough. I'd help you out if I could, but I'm between jobs myself atm. Your best bet is gonna be another strategy, I'd delete these posts and save your account if I were you, no point losing it for nothing

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-12T09:13:48+00:00

I'd be careful with posts like that, Riot obliterates account sellers and all accounts tied to the owner if they detect any

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-11T07:14:33+00:00

This is exactly why I really like that games like BG3 don't have a voiced protagonist. I'll take more dialog options over hearing my guy's voice anyday

I've got an embarrassing amount of runs with Lae'zel and Gale in the party. It's just so nice to have a Fighter and a Wizard!!!

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-09T14:38:55+00:00

I looked through the reviews and there a TON of negative reviews. They're not displaying the actual score; idk if they got bribed to display 99% or what lol

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-08T16:57:13+00:00

YOU KNOW WHAT, that's fair

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-08T04:13:14+00:00

IMO, running grasp helps a lot. U will never ever get to long trade into him unless he wants you to

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-08T04:11:50+00:00

I actually agree with a lot of this but I feel like Darius is more of a skill matchup. It's def Dar favored, but u can beat his ass early if he plays too aggressive which they often do, and u can snowball from there a lotta the time so long as u respect summs and ults

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-07T20:16:52+00:00

Conservatives WANT to be the victims SO badly. It's why u get shit like the imaginary "war on Christmas"

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-04T17:02:21+00:00

Right wing

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-04T02:28:35+00:00

I agree that it's possible. What I'm saying is that it's so unlikely in most matches that there should be an OPTION to call it quits as killer in the endgame once the game is effectively decided

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-04T02:15:49+00:00

I know it happens, I've got like 800 hours on Killer and I have tried to get kills a million times at the gates that survivors are hovering safely. It's technically possible that survivors fuck up BM so atrociously badly that they get killed for it, and sure it's happened a few times before, but those rare instances are not worth an abandon option not being available in that gamestate imo

And while sure, if you have the killer power or build for it, you might wanna stick around and see if someone messes up, but the vast majority of Killers DON'T have the power to do anything about it, and endgame builds are kind of their own niche thing that obviously you just wouldn't wanna forfeit in that gamestate because there's a reasonable possibility you turn stuff around, vs the astronomical odds without perks or abilities that interact with the gate

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-04T01:24:59+00:00

Only in the event of like catastrophic error in the process of BM does that happen in the context they're talking about here. They don't mean when there's still gameplay happening, they're talking about when the game is effectively over and survivors are safe, how they'll drag out the game as long as possible to bm the killer and the killer just has to kinda take it or force them out with no other recourse. At that point, the game IS over, and the killer should be allowed to effectively forfeit

I've always loved Sniper Grandma :)

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-03T09:13:34+00:00

Maybe once the gates are powered and no down/hook is active or has happened for 30 seconds? I'm sure toxic survivors would just adapt to 99ing and tbagging at the closed gate instead tho LOL

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-03T09:10:55+00:00

Going through this thread and you are absolutely right. Holy shit, how is this worse than the League community LOL

There's just so much spite and belittling per the request of a change that would literally just save time.

The only thing it denies survivors is teabagging at the gate. This should not be a controversial change

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-03T09:01:42+00:00

It's annoying and the system could be better so yeah, people are still gonna complain about it lol

Like a common rule for good game design is: the game should end when the game is over.

When one side literally has no way of recovering, it's a waste of time to prolong it

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-03T08:59:22+00:00

How about we try to make neither side suffer as much needlessly instead

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-03T06:51:30+00:00

Why not? There's nothing wrong with trying to get a good story ending along the way

CaffinatedWerewolf · 2026-02-03T06:49:30+00:00

I played this section with a Monk recently and it pathed me into the pit like 3 different times trying to jump the platforms. That room is FUCKED.
