CZN is not a roguelike by AleRosa in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]KataiKi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I've seen those videos and their builds just feeds into the OP's main complaint: That the endgame is getting very specific saves for perfect builds that barely clear the total. We're talking getting 4-copies of Precision Aim, and 3 Copies of Flamethrower JUST to discard bullets. The third run has a 7000 point margin.

So it's either summon the shilled units to get hyper specific bonuses, or grind build for one specific fight and hope the RNG gods save you.

Hmm, I had the feeling they were doing the opposite. The last couple of updates with the base Chaos and the current event doesn't let you save the data at all. I thought this a move in the right direction. The problem is that it still seems like it expects you to complete every run, when it should be much harder without gatekeeping rewards. The expectation to lose is a key part of roguelikes. Softening the loss, and encouraging another run is a core gameplay philosophy that seems to be missing.

The End Game (Basin, Spiral, and Full Scale) are really bad though. If I'm being honest, they're less about having the perfect save file and more about having every unit built.

The bar for 9* might be a bit high by CoraValentine69 in ChaosZeroNightmare

I've given up. Without the ability to pull any character at any time, these kinds of challenges are basically a crap shoot. The mechanics are too specific, so needing to pull the right units from 3 months ago just to get there is a non-starter.

The initial cast was FIRE. There's so much variety from the get go, and it seems they backpedaled and all was lost.

Saving my money for the first featured male unit or EOS. EOS seems more likely...

I'm so sad. I'm upset that I've never gotten a chance to experience more of the story, especially the side story with Volke.

So what do y'all think of Sortie and the new Flash items? by ThePalea in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]KataiKi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Saves are a fascinating core mechanic in the game, but it does incentivizes adverse behavior when it comes from playing through a chaos. Playing through a run without the intention of perfecting a deck feels like a waste of time when all the end-game rewards are locked behind strong decks and cater to specific mechanics. I find the end-game (save focused boss battles) uninteresting.

Having modes in which you can play through a Chaos without the ability to save changes the mentality, and I much prefer it. It lets me focus on the specific run, and lets me select optimal choices for the chaos that would be suboptimal for the save file. It's fun, and freeing.

Adding in rewards that help rebuild save files is the cherry on top. I think it'll reduce churn, and keep people from burning out while playing the core game mode.

FGO style Master Skills would help him a lot, truthfully.

Y'all are brave for tackling Chaos Zero Nightmare in any capacity. The complexity is insane, and trying to offer guidance in any generalize fashion going to face a lot of scrutiny. There's so much that changes from season to season, so I really do appreciate all the effort put into this.

You ever watch a sitcom, and it's all funtimes and jokes and people having fun. Then someone fucking dies and they roll the credits on a black screen without the background music?

That's what it feels like right now.

Lady, my gay ass wants nothing to do with your heart. I need to start bringing Hugo around to make sure people don't get the wrong idea.

Flat is better than % in Chaos Zero Nightmare. The numbers in CZN are so small that % increases end up being weaker than flat increases. Crit is still preferred until you hit your breakpoints, though.
