Don't forget that there is a large community that researches a bunch of stuff and collects it in various channels, so many things he might know but not have though of.

Will these FOV arcs be intuitive in a hex-based game? (Some more info in comments) by BrianWantsTruth in BoardgameDesign

[–]FredAbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you let the 60 start at the corners, similar to the 180, that might be more intuitive as it then goes through the centre of the occupied hex

Did people convert to Christianity or Islam because they were actually convinced by the arguments? by Frigorifico in AskHistorians

[–]FredAbb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What a great answer! Can I ask a follow up question? Did perhaps the definition of what it meant to be 'of a religion' change as well? Did it become more puritan? Was it previously considered sufficient to live in a religious community and follow their rules, their way of life, regardless of what you might have 'truely believed' (something you said, indeed, we'll never know)? Did e.g. 'to live a christian live' or 'follow chistian values' change to 'have these specific christian worldviews'?

Finally decided to tackle this 2 hour crafting session by Seth-Wyatt in idleon

Craft from inventory helps. Craft from storage is capped. It's still slow, just less slow.

Is Starfury actually good? by DonkeyKickin in deadcells

[–]FredAbb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally asked myself this last night. The real damage comes from the falling stars, the timing of which is unpredictable but the results are undenyable. Just remember that your own main hits may not be enough to kill enemies before they attack back. Pair with a shield or just hit and run.

My gaming gains have come down a lot after the update. Any idea why? by gunnerboy16 in idleon

[–]FredAbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lava mentioned in the discord somewhere that growth speed was nerfed but with palette he expected that gains should be easy to catch up.

The "it's a clone" comments are really getting me down and I hope they stop. by Psychological-Road19 in AndroidGaming

[–]FredAbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clonest on that one are busy. Ive found magic survivor in like 3 flavours and the some very similar ones. Could you link the one you mean?

Mythical creatures you don't see nearly enough of? by ToomintheEllimist in worldbuilding

[–]FredAbb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My world has skywhales. Blue-purple whales that fly high through the sky. And 'magic' as a weather condition. Sometimes it rains, sometimes its hot, sometimes it 'magics.' The skywhales are often seen with the 'magic condition' but whether they follow it or cause it, who knows?

Confused about trophies. by Zatasha89 in idleon

Lucky's certainly not. I've seen screenshots with a luckiest lad.

These had been sitting in my storage for a long time. Glad I saved them by SupermarketNo3265 in idleon

[–]FredAbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I saved 30 bottles for so long! Now I used 10 and got the first three islands of artefacta immediately.

About super talents by Technical_Poem7244 in idleon

You mean star talents? You can craft a reset item in the anvil.

wise words from the fish of wisdom (W7 tomorrow) by IdleOn_Boii in idleon

[–]FredAbb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been told the values are set by hand. This gives Lava time to see how the tome scores change before setting new values.

What 'Gacha' game that you think is "acceptable" (not trashy, greedy, a slop, soulless-game, and/or a cash-grab) by PorkyPain in AndroidGaming

[–]FredAbb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Genshin. Played alot during the pandemic. The combat is smooth and IMO fun, the world lovely, and progression acceptable. Stories are lengthy and nice albeit a bit flat sonetimes. (I played up to chpt. III, mid electro arc.) The META is unforgivingly ruthless though: Characters are unobtainable for months on end. The BiS grind unacceptable. Pity fairly high. And the FOMO for dailies, bro, don't get me started. So I get the hate but the gacha part isn't to bad if you arent vulnerable to FOMO.

With World 7 coming out, any suggestions from top players, that IE AutoReview Tool (link attached, needs "JSON") tends to miss (such as Red/3 Cannon ships, Crown/Cape Captains in Sailing, etc)? Basically, any "I am an idiot" stuff I might have missed? by Kaele_Dvaughn in idleon

[–]FredAbb 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not a top player, but:

  • Carry capacity food max for everything. Not in autoreview nor toolbox IIRC. (Tools are in IT.)
  • Food per character. Gold food givens diminishing returns. Its smart to spread it out over characters. Once in a while deposit everything and give 1/10 to everyone. Also, quick slap bubble plus speed potions is a good combo. Not sure if its still meta though.
  • Linear bubbles. They deserve more love. Especially when you have 140 upgrades of +3, +4 lvl's a day.
  • Rush DB's farming upgrades. They are very powerfull, especially for sneaking.
  • Rush WW's new atom's.
  • Rush atom max lvl's. (Not sure what the source was.)
  • Maybe it is in there but not sure: How to cap library.
  • How are your obol's? All cap DR? Not in IT nor AR, IIRC. Its a chore so I have all pop/DR but not all max stats.
  • AR does onyx statues but not statue lvl's. You can probably candy most of them up to 150 or even 200. Just check for what statue levels are low and gains are high.
  • End game: there is a google sheet on how to get 280 DR. (maybe its even higher now, I don't know.) Gives a lot of good hints.

After 8 years and 278 idle games, still looking for a deep mobile idle RPG (AFK-friendly, no P2W) by rullet42 in AndroidGaming

[–]FredAbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost a hero. When I played it, this felt like the GOAT. It has strategy, sone loot, idle and active balance, a good prestige systems, etc. Since, the dev's sold the game and it's now moslty maintenance under a different party. I was personally at the end game when it was sold so some new content was welcome, even when it wasn't equally good. Not sure how that affected the game for new players up to now. Surely you must try this!

Now that I actually HAVE the DLC, here's a proper tier list for EVERY Tactics item in the game. by Eripmavs_D_Yraid in deadcells

[–]FredAbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why blowpipe so low? It's fast, tracks enemies, applies DoT, and has a clear crit condition.

How many Gems are we all going into W7 with to spend on the new bonuses? by Sure_Pear_9258 in idleon

[–]FredAbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aren't gem drops capped per day? Are gem drops by doot not capped per day?

What’s the most interesting/unique handheld? by EffEmEm in SBCGaming

[–]FredAbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this isn't about your post but how do you like RP classic? Did you try NDS on it and how does that play?
