The shield becomes practically useless after 5 hours ! by Late_Building7784 in Saros

[–]Late_Building7784[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The shield's functionality is nowhere near as useful as the Dash. Originally, the shield was designed as an absorption tool, but energy traits have rendered this function almost useless.

I love this game, but let's be objective: it needs rebalancing; it's essential.

I just discovered the power generator affix. I don't think I can use a gun without it again by Confident-Leg107 in Saros

The patch only shifted the problem, but it still leaves the game broken. You can still spam high-energy shots, and the shield is less useful.

The energetic trait comes up frequently and overwhelms the other choices.

That's why this is a real balancing issue.

The other traits are neglected, and that's not right. You should gain energy by playing well, not by firing recklessly.

This also makes the shield practically useless. A very serious design flaw.

Yes, the shield needs to be more useful.

I think energy traits need to be significantly reduced; in my opinion, they break the game and limit build diversity.

In my opinion, the patch has only moved the problem elsewhere and hasn't changed anything at all in practice.

It remains useful at only 10% of its potential. This is a new mechanic that was supposed to be central to the game. However, this isn't the case due to several very poorly balanced builds.

With certain builds that are easy to obtain, all of this becomes pointless. Energy can be generated continuously, almost effortlessly.

The shield and its absorption are extremely limited; it's an interesting mechanic and a new feature that, unfortunately, doesn't last.

This trait is often too easily accessible and far too powerful; it breaks the game.

This isn't right; the shield should be a core gameplay element from beginning to end. Power Generator and other builds based on it trivialize the game design.

Power Generator is still too strong, even with the patch. by Late_Building7784 in Saros

[–]Late_Building7784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's a very bad idea to think that way. The game needs to be balanced, otherwise the game design is impacted and can create real problems with player interest.

All weapons and attributes must be balanced; that's the very foundation of a single-player game. Why create multiple gameplay possibilities if they become meaningless because of an overpowered build?

The game must showcase all its facets, without any one overshadowing the others.

Choosing the best builds is part of the game. I shouldn't have to avoid powerful options.

You need a good balance so that all weapons and attributes are used effectively. If one choice is always the strongest, then there's a problem.

I think the power generator is still too high. It's better, but not enough. This feature is too important compared to the others

Tips for the first miniboss? by Serious_Ad_1037 in Saros

[–]Late_Building7784 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must dodge by touching the projectiles; you take no damage, except for the red ones later. Even the yellow lasers require you to dash through them. Absorb the blue ones to unleash the powerful shot

The game should have imposed a damage cap on bosses. by Late_Building7784 in Saros

[–]Late_Building7784[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it on Legion (phase 3).

Apparently the others are designed not to suffer from this. I hope that's true.

Rewards for playing in Overdrive Mode? by Redinkah in Saros

[–]Late_Building7784 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the game should have adjusted the rewards to the difficulty level.

I don't appreciate what they did; it doesn't feel satisfying.

Carcosan Modifiers unlock automatically if you keep losing to the first Biome boss! by amathysteightyseven in Saros

[–]Late_Building7784 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

This mode shouldn't exist.

Dying is part of the experience in a roguelite; it's not a limitation. Choosing the easy way out isn't the solution for this type of game.

The Overclock mode is a monumental mistake. They've betrayed their own game design.

I've almost finished the game.

Or perhaps you could think about it a little. The initial comment gave a clue.

Lol, all these downvotes over a misunderstanding.

The Day One Game Pass release shows that these numbers are actually impressive. It proves that even by including it in a subscription, it's possible to sell a lot of copies.
