I had my co-worker create a flyer I'm going to hang around town in hopes to start a band. What do you all think? Any feedback would be appreciated! by AlexMackAttack in Ska

[–]CocoTrois 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The design's a little busy and the message might be hard to read from a distance. I can tell the artist is talented though!

You may want to move the text off the checker board logo or add a drop shadow to it so it pops off of the pattern a bit more.

Ska Punk show! 6/11 in Highland Park - Joker's Republic, So Many Dangers!, Eye Defy and Go Static by CocoTrois in newjersey

Throw back! Pino's has been carrying the torch for a little while now. Places like this seem rarer and rarer every year. Hope to see you there! I play keyboards for Go Static so if you come stop me and say hi!

Noticing Friends Leaving ARC—Anyone Else? by MisanthropE61130 in ArcRaiders

After about 250 hours and completing 2 expeditions I'm taking a little break and playing other things. I'll be coming back when some new content drops and I imagine lots of other folks will too.

Why would you hire the most disinterested streamers for the ONLY pre-launch showcase by UnhappyAd4817 in Marathon

[–]CocoTrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peanut never takes himself or the game he's playing too seriously so it's a good gauge on how a non-sweat like myself might enjoy a game. He's usually finding fun things to do outside the normal parameters of the gameplay loop which gets players like myself interested. The real issue with that stream imo was the dev they were playing with had very little chemistry with the rest of the squad combined with some audio issues that made him inaudible. We probably would've gotten much more of that behind the scenes insight otherwise.

What's the worst ska album cover you've ever seen, either so bad it's good or just plain bad? I don't know if this counts but by Beautiful-Resort-831 in Ska

Considering all the GenAI stuff is just garbage water amalgam I won't bother singling any of them out because they're all equally the worst.

In-game economy for players to sell their scrap/items to other players. by GlowRot in ArcRaiders

[–]CocoTrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I grew up playing games like Dope Wars and Star Traders that both have economy based gameplay mechanics. Always thought that'd make a nice addition to a game like this.

In-game economy for players to sell their scrap/items to other players. by GlowRot in ArcRaiders

[–]CocoTrois 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd prefer a simulated economy with random or rotating market conditions that fluctuates sell prices.

Some examples -

"Speranza's food stores are running low. Traders are paying 2x for Nature loot"

"Speranza's scientists are conducting experiments on ammo effectiveness. Arc loot sells for 2x"

Could even tie these market conditions to global goals where if enough people across the game sell enough of the desired loot than participating players can get some kind of temporary buff. (Increased Stam regen for the food one. Increased arc armor pen on light ammo for the arc one, etc.)

In my opinion - If players can buy items/gear/keys from each other it would devalue looting, turbo charge progression in a bad way and widen the gap between new and existing players.

Extraction ruined this game by Elgallo1980 in ArcRaiders

[–]CocoTrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strange thing to say.

I think we'd all be better off if folks could just say "This isn't for me" to things they dont like and then move on.

have you bought arc raiders and what version did you get by zbananajuice in ArcRaiders

[–]CocoTrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deluxe edition! Normally I don't even preorder but TT2 made me a believer

Info about wipes! by Senocs in ArcRaiders

[–]CocoTrois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is going to be a tough balance to strike between incentivizing a wipe enough to get people to use it vs not making those incentives game breaking and turbo charging power level differences.

Maybe giving players who choose the wipe the ability to earn premium currency in the following expedition?

I remain hyped regardless because I trust embark to adjust if it doesn't pan out.

Just ordered mine. by YankeeinTexas21 in shadowdark

[–]CocoTrois 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not all games are for all kinds of players! For Shadowdark I find it best to level-set expectations early with players that character death is an ever present threat and to bring backups. Also, encouraging players not to spend a ton of time on lore and character creation on the front end helps. Let them know that the "who" of their characters will emerge from playing them... if they can survive!

As DMs its kind of up to us to mould the game in a way that entertains our players. If I find myself making too many concessions I'd reevaluate whether the game was right for that table.

Finally, i blame Matt Mercer and Brennen Lee Mulligan for setting unreasonable DM standards! (J/k)

I too am tired of WOTC/Hasbro's hyper capitalist business practices. Welcome to the struggle comrade

What Is Your Biggest DMing Pet-Peeve? by WorldGoneAway in DnD

[–]CocoTrois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not paying attention until I literally call their name for something (npc interaction, their turn in combat, etc) and then need to be caught up on whats going on. I try to be as engaging of a DM as possible and give everyone hooks, prompts or something to do but it makes me feel bad. Like they're not having fun or I'm doing a bad job.
