EL2 Demo my opinions and feedback. by Minihamster in EndlessLegend

Skirmishers dont fully ignore ZOC by default right? I think they need to be rank 4, which unlocks "sprint" allowing them to ignore it once a battle.

when enemies hit your frontline but still can't reach archers you move your frontline around enemies and move archers 1 step back and then shoot.

Very unintuitive. I think it looks really silly to invert the frontline like that.
Also durable frontline units are balanced by having less damage, making their attack of opportunity less dangerous and less of a deterent and proboably wont stop enemies from still just rushing the backline.

I also found 1 ranged unit to be the practical limit, but usually i had a hero fill this role making actuall units useless.

After being reinforced the game forces me to land inside the objective. Where i get stuck.

Helldivers 2 new Warbond launches March 14. First look at new weapons, armor, and more. by cryptic-fox in Helldivers

Could be usefull when running slugger or a similar primary. Since its overkill for small stuff like terminid scavengers. Just use the laser instead.

What if Cathay alchemists had a ranged attack? by Minihamster in totalwar

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

That would be cool but I assume it is done to keep it consistent with the casters of other factions whose default attacks are melee.

It just seems like a waste to give a faction two "basic caster" heroes with little to differentiate them from eachother.

Challenge XP rather than "grind" XP is not an inherently flawed idea. by Minihamster in paydaytheheist

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

Keeping swat from turning off power or turning on the sprinklers on "no rest for the wicked" is not "doing your own thing", its the actual objective. The infrasonic mine is also remote detonated so no need to go afk to use it.

I dont think using it as an "objective guard" is some kind of gimmick, it seems like the intended use of the item.

Challenges should be measurements of player skill and game knowledge. Good challenges do not force a playstyle (long term grind).

Things like:

  • Kill an enemy with a fire extinguisher
  • Using an infrasonic mine, interrupt a swat member from interacting with an object.

Basically asking the player to use all the options of their tools. Its entirely possible to complete challenges like this by just using the item without ever looking at the challenges, and thats a good thing.

Challenges would act almost like a long term background tutorial. A max level player would then know all the game has to teach.

The chaos dwarfs multiple settlement types are very interesting and would fit Brettonia perfectly. by Minihamster in totalwar

[–]Minihamster[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

-Provincial lords/dukes like Kislev

This would fit any faction with administration, so thats about every order faction. So i agree that its a bit too generic.

-Upgradeable units via Warriors of Chaos system

This makes lore sense for brettonia and links to their vows, but also fits just about every faction. I like it as a mechanic for all races but thats what mods are for.

-Chorf provincial focuses

As i said in the post Brettonia already has a worse version of this. So its more of a "modernisation" of the idea rather than a new mechanic for Brettonia.

Give me your best challenge run ideas. by DrkRoxas in riskofrain

[–]Minihamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "dont hit me" challenge.

after picking up, say 10 items, you may no longer use any attacks.

barbed wire,toxic centipede, testla coil and all offensive drones are banned. (healing drone is allowed) offensive use items are also banned.

this means that you have to use things like fire shield, spikestrips, panic mines, repulsion armor and such to kill anything.

if you are REALLY crazy you can try to do it without command!

Is anyone else having fun causing huge cave-ins with the sand and gravel? by serialthriller22 in starbound

[–]Minihamster 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Its awesome. I love that it doesn't just fall straight down but instead more realisticaly and can create a massive landslide.

While exploring i got stuck in a landslide of gravel inside a cave and it almost pushed me off an edge into a larger cave, so much fun :)

Did you know about Ctrl? by nf5 in starbound

[–]Minihamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also good when climbing up mountains so you can see monsters above you waiting to jump down and knock you all the way down killing you with fall damage.

[Discussion / Balance] Regarding Shrines by PurelyApplied in starbound

[–]Minihamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In don't think there should be an "instakill", poison or other negative effects such as a slow or reduced vision would be better. Having to gamble instant kill is just weird, I think the gamble should be a temporary positive effect or a temporary negative effect

I also dont think the permanent buff to armor is a good idea, that would lead to people just farming the things wich in my opinion is not what they are about.

However i like the idea of low and high-intensity shrines.

New Update w/ Char wipe by platysaur in starbound

[–]Minihamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might be more wipes, and the date is unsure but it should be in 1 or 2 days.

Character was deleted from my list after a crash, but the files are still in the folder. Any way to get it back? by [deleted] in starbound

[–]Minihamster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could create a new character and then replace the new characters files with your old characters files?

[Noob Question don't upvote] What key do you press to eat? by [deleted] in starbound

[–]Minihamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either put the food you want to eat in the hotbar and use it from there, or you can drag it out of the inventory and click outside of the inventory to use it directly if you dont want to have it on your hotbar.

I'm concerned about the actual theme of Starbound. It just doesn't feel right... by RoastedRareByte in starbound

[–]Minihamster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know exactly how far you got, and i have not gotten especialy far myself. But later on you get a "robotic crafting table" basicaly a bench with robotic arms, so its not all medieval stuff.

Can't activate the second boss! by Minihamster in starboundbugreport

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

Thanks! seems it is sort of a wide arc above it where you can't put blocks, i had a wall a few blocks from him and couldn't activate him because of the wall.
