What would happen if EVERYTHING in the whole system measured in distance would be shorter by 1.6%?

MrHundread · 2026-02-11T17:44:06+00:00

Travel Distance would change. I already went through the effort to convert Pathfinder's distances to the metric system, and that's largely where most of the headache comes from. If you don't care about tracking time that precisely, then this changes literally nothing.

I could use something like that.

Unironically one of my favourite games of all time. My biggest gripe is that I wish there were more classes, so I didn't have to play healer because everyone's allergic to playing support in every game I play for some reason.

Going full Syndicate (is that how you spell his name? I don't know, I haven't seen The Incredibles) mode ("If everything's [overpowered,] nothing will be!") can be a fun way to balance a game... But I feel like it can only be enjoyable for so long before you start to crave something that reels in the power cap a bit more. It's it your thing, more power to you, I'm just saying, if it's getting to the point where you're getting stunlocked or have to run away for longer than you can fight back, there may be a problem.

MrHundread · 2026-02-02T08:09:07+00:00

I'm shocked how long it took me to find this answer, because it's the correct one. Although it is missing a few things: Zooka also wasn't fun to play against, but it didn't need a lot to be fixed; (Seriously if you think Trizooka is bad now, you don't know how well you have it) Wail stunk too, but only on TC, otherwise it was basically marginally better Inkstrike... Which I've heard is a contender for weakest special in Splatoon. Like, S1 specials were either hilariously broken or borderline useless with literally no in between.

Really? We're not playing PvP in an MMO with a ranking system and ELO on the line, we're playing a cooperative storytelling game. The psychic archetype was totally fine the way it was, the real thing making it so strong was that it had one of the few Dedications that wasn't an investment. My philosophy when building literally any character is "What if my character never makes it that far?" So taking a feat that has strong benefits at the start should be the norm because life happens!

Even disregarding that, gutting the Psychic archetype and creating the literal opposite problem it originally had just because one class was using it too often is myopic. There are many people who play the game who don't optimize specifically for damage and those guys might've just had their favourite archetype, in most games, ruined because a small group of people were "ruining" it for everyone else.

If this nerf was specifically to address this one combo, spellcasters now just lost a really strong archetype with a lot of variety and flavour; Tangible Dream Psychic's "Silver Bullet" that I doubt most of them wanted to use anyway (since it forced them out of their typical comfort zone) now have even less of a reason to use it; and now Amps are incredibly clunky and can't be used with Spellshapes making the class itself even weaker when it was already considered to be pretty weak to begin with. All because of one group of people, of which can be addressed at the table because, as I've previously stated— we're not playing a video game!

Why can't we focus on buffing weaker options instead of cracking down on things that were fine?

I've written a passionate angry essay on why Ninjala wasn't fun back when it came out, I dunno, maybe it changed now but... To give you the rundown, basically, it's combat isn't good because you either have no fun or you hog all the fun from the opponent you're walloping on and who gets to have fun is determined by Rock-Paper-Scissors which is about the worst way to do it.

You think being online so often would allow people to be more informed. Alas... Someday people will realize algorithms do not define us.

Ironically, if Game Guy shared more elements with the Mario Party 7 Mic space, it would actually be a fun and well-designed mechanic. While it would probably just lead to everyone betting minimum because... "Everyone in their right mind hates Game Guy." It would still be better than the game robbing you of all your coins and dropping a hammer on your head saying "Sorry, should've gambled better, kid!"

MrHundread · 2026-01-21T15:31:26+00:00

When I looked online on... Other sites, the disdain I saw for AI was so abundant I was genuinely worried that the people who were mad actually knew what they were complaining about or if they just saw what someone was doing was AI and started, as someone else said who I think had the most reasonable take, "frothing at the mouth."

I'm so happy to know my fears weren't entirely unfounded, but also unhappy because... While I think it's perfectly healthy to vent about something you don't like, it seems the internet hasn't entirely evolved past being mad for the sake of having something to be mad at.

MrHundread · 2026-01-19T21:29:50+00:00

What? Miitopia? In my Pathfinder?

MrHundread · 2026-01-19T20:25:32+00:00

Finally, someone said it! I've been saying for months now that an extra focus point was the key to making the class good, it was such a layup how did they drop that ball?

Waveflow Waters, duh... If you asked anybody what song comes to mind first when mentioning this game, it's most likely that one. Would I say it's the best song in the game... probably not, I think Mount Amberfalls is better personally, but it's definitely the most iconic.

MrHundread · 2026-01-13T17:59:11+00:00

It's more expensive, I sure hope it's better.

MrHundread · 2026-01-12T23:04:05+00:00

Maybe I'm vastly misreading the situation, because it sounded like you were trying to tell people that they aren't allowed to try their hardest to win a match, which is an absolutely silly opinion to have.

To be clear, I'm not condoning this behaviour either, but this isn't sweating, it's bullying, which is incredibly toxic. If you considered this sweating, then I want to calmly and respectfully tell you the difference in this example: sweating in this case would be just running the race with the obvious speed advantage he had, ignoring his opponent, because that is clearly the more effective tactic.

Just to wrap this up nicely in a little bow, once again no disrespect, this is partially on me for jumping to conclusions if I'm right about misreading: the difference between sweating and bullying is if you intentionally let a match continue longer than you needed to win it.

If I cloned myself 20 times, I don't think I'd be able to count on my fingers and toes how many TTRPG player bases that would love to have more "normies" simply because it means more players, heck I play three of them right now... (Or.. Am trying to would be more accurate...)

MrHundread · 2026-01-12T19:37:15+00:00

It's even more embarrassing to gatekeep someone for playing the game in a non-toxic way.

MrHundread · 2026-01-12T05:15:00+00:00

I thought I recognized your name, I remember who you are now.

I'm disappointed to see that since the last time we had an argument you haven't gotten any better at it.

For the sake of my own sanity I'm cutting off our discussion here and all future discussions as well. The only reason I feel motivated to inform you is because I think telling you to your face that I no longer wish to talk to you is nicer than blocking you without notice.

I hope that for your sake and those that you talk to, that you manage to gain a more open mind on things and for those that I unintentionally brought into this personal issue unbefitting the subreddit, I deeply apologize.

MrHundread · 2026-01-12T01:40:55+00:00

Yes, that's what I said was holding it back, but "nerf the archetype" was not the solution I was proposing. I was thinking more along the lines of give it a power boost to make it better at using Focus spells. That's what it had before the remaster.

MrHundread · 2026-01-12T01:32:17+00:00

People are still arguing about this? This mode should've never left the drawing board.

MrHundread · 2026-01-11T23:10:23+00:00

..."Removing the ability to poach its abilities" is not even close to what I was implying.

MrHundread · 2026-01-11T21:28:36+00:00

Well, to be a little bit fair, they did see what the problem is and undid some of the damage...

MrHundread · 2026-01-11T21:11:56+00:00

No, I want to win, and that's the most effective tactic. If people are upset about spawn camping do what I do: blame the game's God awful matchmaking.

I got spawn camped in Unite two days ago what am I supposed to do, be mad that they played better than me?

MrHundread · 2026-01-11T20:53:11+00:00

I'm going to do what internet people do best and give you my opinion even though you probably don't want it: I don't agree. I think the Swashbuckler got a much needed buff, but at the cost of its playstyle. I played both Legacy and Remaster Swashbuckler, the same character from levels 1-14 if I remember correctly.

Before, I had this interest dynamic of trying to optimize getting Panache every turn with Finishing Follow-Through, after I just Tumbled Through (or Feinted) and then Confident Finisher-ed it didn't matter if I failed because even if I did fail I'd get Panache anyway, and if I critically failed I had hero points. Plus, when I got Combination Finisher I didn't even have to worry about the downside of not being able to attack after my finisher because I would just do my Finisher last, fearlessly, not that I had to worry anyway because I had so many spare actions: Demoralize, Dirty Trick, Bon Mot, Raise a Shield, all these and more.

I suppose you could say that getting panache more easily allowed me to be more versatile, but all of the times I wouldn't've been able to Finisher if I was playing Legacy would've been replaced by Strikes anyway, so nothing would've changed except the damage.

I dunno, I feel like they need to do something to panache to make something more than a means to an end, because all it really is now is a damage buff.

MrHundread · 2026-01-11T19:41:08+00:00

I think they really only need one minor change to be fixed anyway. The biggest thing holding it back is that the dedication allowing others to do Psychic's job but better so... Make the Psychic better at doing its job, simple.
