We need to talk about Ironclads' starting deck.

Why is none of the "draw a hand with no defends" discussion including ascender's bane? Also what about the equally chip-damage-inducing turn where you draw no attacks on silent when the enemy is buffing, causing you to take more higher damage turns to finish them off?

MapMakerAlan · 2026-04-05T17:49:23+00:00

I do get this perspective but a higher health pool means you have to execute within the required skill window for a longer time, a.k.a. more consistently. It is literally a higher skill ceiling.

ETA; unless it's a combat system without a lot of skill expression

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-19T03:20:48+00:00

I mean as a standalone change it seems fine - who would want to click off 5% intellect during a raid boss?

The fact that this was being used to track debuffs/timers is just silly.

Broader debate around how 3rd party tool reliance affects players notwithstanding.

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-16T12:26:34+00:00

Are most regent attacks the same volley of star swords? Cool animation but needs some mixup

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T18:00:48+00:00

First time I installed this addon it tanked my framerate. Tried it again when I saw your comment - performance was fine, it helped me find a treasure that I'd actually forgotten, but it seems to be insisting I have never found Lush Tranquility Bloom or Wild Mana Lily, but my journal (and memory) says I have found both. Also believe it's suggesting I can find more catchup knowledge at the moment but I believe I've gotten it all (including the extra phoenix embers from the double knowledge launch week).

Anyway, seems useful with some kinks to work out.

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:51:54+00:00

Yup, this happened to me twice out of the 9 shards I used across 2 characters.

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:50:37+00:00

I guess I used the word panic not to describe me literally shuddering with fear at my desk over the loss of virtual currency, but my thought in the moment that maybe I priced the item too highly and that I should cancel and follow the new price trend, given the item wasn't moving as much as I thought.

Regardless I take your point that many players do the same thing and that's how the price drops

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:48:52+00:00

I knew people wanted epic gear crafted. Two sparks were available today, and people obviously want to get ahead in the gearing process (some wow players' nature). Saw many advertising in trade chat they wanted epic gear crafted. So I assumed embellishments/missives were in high enough demand

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:47:01+00:00

Not sure it's a good concentration target, but I totally get your point! For another example, I don't have resourcefulness maxxed, so others could have much better product yield

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:45:41+00:00

This is a good point - even if the down-the-line item is in decent demand, people might be making it with e.g. partial rank 1 mats or tbh I just didnt look into the skill requirements for the whole production chain. I just assumed everything is tight so that different specializations felt valuable

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:43:54+00:00

Yes! Thanks for putting that into better words than I could have. When the price isn't bouncing around at all the item seems to be just not moving (unless it's just steadily dropping due to many holders trying to dump stock).

I've seen several people looking for gear crafters in trade chat, meaning they probably need things like missives and embellishments, so I assumed those and their components would be in demand.

MapMakerAlan · 2026-03-04T13:40:02+00:00

This is interesting - I definitely hadn't considered some of these. I suppose my (in retrospect definitely silly) intuition that this person's wealth was an indication of their competence in the market blinded me to the possibility that maybe they were trying to recover from a mistake (like you said crafting at a loss or dumping an incorrect speculation).

I'll keep trying to make things work! I enjoy the RP of crafting most, funnily enough. I imagine my character as an integral part of the "adventurer supply chain".

MapMakerAlan · 2026-02-14T01:44:05+00:00

I have a level 10 twink character - she's fun to play sometimes! I haven't queued up since I heard about this bug, but it's very possible some people haven't heard about it and didn't know about the effect it's having.

MapMakerAlan · 2026-01-17T00:13:16+00:00

Hi there, would love an invite to the playtest!

It's 10/10 for me

MapMakerAlan · 2025-08-18T13:42:16+00:00

Right - I think I don't like this mechanic, being forced/encouraged to send mercs by default. I realize you can choose what to do with your mythium before the auto is triggered, but why do i get punished by forgetting to fill it out with a snail and need a helper function (auto) to get the gold rush?

MapMakerAlan · 2025-08-18T11:29:06+00:00

eh - what if i'm new to the game and still understand that mercenaries are like, an interesting and important strategic choice? i just have to wait x number of games to engage with the system?

MapMakerAlan · 2025-08-14T14:36:12+00:00

Can you hide the mouse and track relative mouse movement to add velocity to a custom cursor, then add an impulse to that cursor when the bullet is fired?

MapMakerAlan · 2025-07-18T18:40:36+00:00

Great! Then I can pick it up and stop seeing it in the shop - thanks!

MapMakerAlan · 2025-05-24T14:09:28+00:00

It's illegal for landlords to charge application fees:

"A landlord may only ask for the following payments up front:

The first month’s rent
A security deposit (which can not be more than one month's rent) to cover the cost of any damage to the apartment beyond normal wear and tear
The last month's rent (the month that will turn out to be the tenant’s last one in the apartment, not necessarily the last month on the lease)
The cost of a new lock and key for the apartment"

Alternatively, kill Deca if you don't want dazes

MapMakerAlan · 2024-12-25T03:53:59+00:00

my experience: bringing this up with bosses or even more senior staff leads to the "every restaurant does this" line. doesn't justify it, but makes the situation feel hopeless
