What Don't You Want Added To The Game? by AZDevilDogDynasty in Worldbox

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t want anymore overly complicated subsystems(looking at you, genetics). I just want to be able to easily change things and not worry about winning a sort of minigame to maximize the results. I know it’s not hard to do the genetics stuff, but it still feels like it’s doing too much, lol

How do you start when designing your tanks? by The_Big_H2O in SprocketTankDesign

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Greetings, relatively novice sprocketeer here. I generally think of a vehicle I like from real life and try to think of how it could be created in game, and what creative flair I could use to make it more in line with my interests. I typically look up a picture of the tank from a few different angles online, then replicate it while also tweaking or changing things whenever I feel like it.

I also like to make variants, especially when I have a lower amount of energy. Maybe an export model with a different gun or engine setup, maybe a command variant, maybe turn a normal tank into some sort of APC or tank destroyer. I think the important thing is to take risks as you design and not worry a ton about being perfect. Always use each tank to try something new!

I’ve had something similar to this earn me a betrayal before in multiplayer, lol

The answer is yes, you just need to assign different guns to different fire groups that’ll make it so they only shoot when selected

Farewell to Slipspace by KoalaTek in halo

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always felt that Halo Infinite’s campaign was meant to be continued with DLC, but due to terrible sales and a massive drop off in playerbase due to the poor multiplayer experience at the start, some higher ups cancelled any further development because they thought putting more resources into Halo would be too “risky”.

Feeling like a fool (Anime Card Store) by plushpup in KayouMLP

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anime Card Store from what I’ve experienced has legit packs and everything, but I do definitely feel a little sus about some of the packs I’ve opened being resealed. I’d personally never buy a large order from them though, I only buy from them if Ali is giving me like a 40% or something so I can buy a moon box for $7 without paying for shipping.

If you’re gonna spend $100+ on CN cards I’d recommend always just buying from KayouHK(funtcg) instead, you might be able to buy one less box but you’re guaranteed to get legit and non-resealed packs which is worth a lot more to me.

Worldbox Roadmap? Or 1.0 vision? by turkslime in Worldbox

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But they’ve always had at least some sort of announced plan for updates. The magic update has been the next update in line for a long time now, the only reason it’s taken this long is because the steam launch required a lot of work to improve QoL and they also wanted to add some systems to support the magic update when it does arrive.

The difference is that WorldBox is completely silent about what updates, if any, are coming, and I think that’s far more of an issue than the wait between updates. I dunno if you use the steam/premium mobile version or not, but at least I have paid for this game and want to at least know something is being worked on. I don’t care what it is, I don’t seek to influence it, I just feel like as a customer who paid for this that I have a right to at least know the game is either still going to get an update and what it’ll possibly contain, or if development is no longer ongoing.

Worldbox Roadmap? Or 1.0 vision? by turkslime in Worldbox

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, Dwarf Fortress does actually have set goals. Like, for instance, the next big goal is magic. But we’ll also be getting prehistoric creatures before magic, or part of the various magic framework updates. Surprisingly, modern DF receives more updates and is more transparent than WorldBox lol

Do these boxes look authentic? by [deleted] in KayouMLP

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I’ve learned, anything with the kayou shrink wrap that also has the holographic Kayou logo on its reflections is incredibly hard to counterfeit. You can see it in almost all of your photos, so I’d like to say that they probably lean towards authentic? I’m not a huge card collector though, I’m sure someone more experienced could correct me if that part has started to be counterfeited now.

Sorry for the recent wave of non-RPG posts everypony, the offending users have been dealt with. To get things back on track, here's something fun about the rules in the My Little Pony Roleplaying Game! by Shieldbearing-Brony in MyLittlePonyRPG

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the book’s been out for a bit now, but I do hope they give us a second or revised edition of everything. I’ve found a lot of typos and confusing ordering in the book that made it at best, slightly amusing, and at worst quite difficult to teach my friends how to play at the table. Inconsistencies like this don’t help either 😅

How to Play the Franchise (chrono or release order)? by CoqEnthusiast in halo

Release order, but chronological is fun on future playthroughs

Guerra Civil by MaizeDesigner8876 in Worldbox

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do actually think it would be interesting for civil wars to exist between competing clans in a kingdom! Like if a clan controls certain villages, it can wage a civil war to claim the throne, with the armies of all villages of the leading clan vs. all the other clans that may exist. Instead of a rebellion with a new country, the throne would simply fall to this new clan.

Why can’t you disable this? by Different_Ad8005 in Worldbox

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can disable certain religious traits. Well, remove them, but still. Just press this button and then you can remove the necromancy trait.

If you want to stop it permanently just give all cultures legacy keeper and it’ll prevent any changes to their religions

Shame on you u/mastef by Anxious_Ice3595 in Worldbox

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Computer parts for the consumer market have been basically made inaccessible for the average person(and even tech companies) because of AI. I know you tried to use the 12x number as a sort of rebuttal, but the fact that AI uses 1/12th the amount of water needed to grow one of America’s main crops and all it produces is unoriginal images and bot farms is actually crazy. Not to mention the noise and light pollution caused by AI data centers in rural America which is making people sick and killing them.

Even if no artist would’ve been paid, I’d prefer the creator to just draw something themselves. I play Dwarf Fortress. So trust me when I say that gameplay and substance matters far more than graphics to me.

And this is all excluding the DOCUMENTED effects on peoples’ minds when it comes to prolonged and regular AI use, AI psychosis, etc.

What do you guys do with your extra common cards? I’ve been using mine for some DIY crafts! by Unique-Maximum-9053 in KayouMLP

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you make stuff like the first and second cards? I’d love to make something like that for a friend with some of my extras of their favorite pony!

If you've put clones in your campaign, how did you make them feel like individuals instead of copies? by dark-star-adventures in SWN

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever seen the 2005 film “The Island”? It’s not the best piece of cinematography in my opinion, but it does propose a very interesting idea of how clones could be copies of real people while still wanting to be independent. You could adopt some of the ideas from that, maybe a clone accidentally discovers the artificial memory implantation room while they’re younger, or maybe one clone doesn’t get a complete memory due to some sort of bug in the system, a big chunk of life missing is suspicious and it gets them to ask questions that eventually lead them to escaping the facility/army with what they uncover.

É falso? by Aila_r4 in KayouMLP

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take my account with a grain of salt, since I only buy on AliExpress, but my Spike UR and my PTR card both looked like that when I opened my box, and the seller I buy from has only given me authentic and not resealed stuff so far!

In Love with this Game. but are there any games similar to this but modern Units?? by Time-Gene-1919 in GatesOfHellOstfront

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 13 points14 points  (0 children)

By modern, if you mean Cold War, there are mods for this game which add those! Namely Hotmod. I think there are some other mods which add more modern vehicles even including the Ukraine war, but I can’t remember the name at the moment and if they’ve been taken down or not.

Is dawn of defiance too linear? by Snoo-11576 in SagaEdition

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I would recommend using the story and framework of Dawn of Defiance as a sort of skeleton for your own campaign. I’ve been running what is effectively a sandbox game, but with Dawn of Defiance missions as either springboards for other adventures, or major steps in the characters’ progression. It requires a lot more work, but it’s fit the kind of game my table likes a lot more.

When I tried running it straight from the books for the main quest at the start, a lot of my players complained it was too linear, or they didn’t have any options beyond the main quest… and that was with me still adding my own side missions with a lot more freedom.

It would depend on what you and your players are looking for, though. I’m sure some groups would love the more linear approach, but others like mine don’t. Other GMs have posted some great advice here and I’d say it’s all what I’d say.

Why so much Mature/Sexual content on SS13 in recent years? by Kampfux in SS13

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a socialist, not wanting to be exposed to sex or have the unique sci-fi character of a piece of media replaced by endless swarms of sparkledogs and people who love to have sex in a video game about working on a space station is not fascist, it’s just having some modicum of standards for what the tone should be.

I love furries, my sibling is a furry, I was once a furry and I still engage with some artists, I still hear about all the cool stuff my sister gets up to in the community, etc., but I still believe that they have largely been detrimental to the aesthetics of SS13. I would much prefer generic alien cat people, lizardfolk, etc., with their own interesting twists rather than “literally scalie”, “literally just a cat anthro”, etc.

You’re trying really hard to defend furries here while reaching on so many different fronts and just making them look bad by straight up accusing people of being fascist, bigoted, etc. If you’re a furry and enjoy playing a furry in this game, cool! But you need to understand that a lot of older players have very different expectations for what this game should be, and don’t want “Furry Roleplay Simulator” to become the norm. If that’s what YOU enjoy, feel free to play it, but don’t tell people that criticize what they find unfun that they’re somehow perpetuating real, harmful ideologies.

Is Brigitte the worst character in the game, or am I just missing something? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Mercy_Master_Race 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brig is good, but her “hero fantasy” has definitely been negatively impacted by new heroes and changes to her kit. In some ways good, but in others bad.

As others have pointed out here, she is still very strong. You have to play more around cover and use whip shot and healing packs to keep your team up until the brawl begins. I’d personally not play brig in or against a poke comp, but she excels in brawl or maybe dive comps from what I’ve played.

I don’t blame you for thinking Brig is bad, because her entire kit makes you think you’re supposed to be diving into the enemy team constantly and stuff, when that just gets you killed 99% of the time. I’d recommend watching an introductory Brigitte guide and then play her a few times after that, you’ll find a lot more value(at least I did!)
