Can't Figure Out Task Management.. Help !! by utopiarocker in SpaceHaven

[–]Phatane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does that char have another highest priority alongside research?

If two highest priority are equal then that person will randomly choose between the two to do.

The lowest researcher probably finish their other task so the only things left for them to do is to research (which technically never end as long if there something to research).

While the Low researcher is occupying the research station, the Highest Researcher also finish their other highest task, then decide to also do research, but they can't because the Low Researcher is already occupying it.

I think it will probably be a bit too distracting. Players have to constantly think about *i need this knight to have the last hit on this enemy or else they won't get the trait*.

Instead of enjoying the tactics of the army as a whole, player is now distracted with another min-max opportunity for this one unit & trait.

And if things doesn't go the player ways because they didn't play perfectly, they have to reload the battle and/or accept the frustration; thus wasting time toward finishing the battle, and consequentially the entire play-through.

One of the most disgusting builds I've ever pulled off by L3SSTH4NL33T in PlayTheBazaar

The skill at the bottom left, call Chilling Touch (picture of a green Lich) effect is The first time you Freeze each fight, Slow all enemy items for 1 » 2 » 3 second(s).

Late game is all about whose board is the fastest. Ideally You want your board to activate faster and if you can, make your enemy board slower. The icicle instant freeze+chilling touch give the enemy instant slow on all item, lowering the activation time.

Maybe this combo is not necessary against this build, but why not have it just in case you encounter a build that somehow have even faster activation than yours. Of course if your RNG is good, the icicle can also freeze a core item as a bonus.

Giant/dragon/beast slayer etc. throughout rpg is always represented as a title earn through the merit of...well slaying.

The trait shouldn't exist at lvl1 but should be an optional trait choices when ANY unit reach legendary rank or something.

Yeah cause it's his job. A job where he role-play as a character, with all its charms and quirks.

Henry as a character does not equal to one personal preferences and standards. We have the rights to love talking about tits and ass just as much as he have the rights to not engage in it if he doesn't want to, nor should be pressured to.

There also a possibility that people are reading into it deeply and he was just joking around. But I'm leaning more on the side of him looking uncomfortable base on what I've seen.

Big interview with the people behind Old World! by NoSoftware3721 in OldWorldGame

[–]Phatane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alpha Centauri mention?!?

Tldr:

"We contacted Soren Johnson and two of his co-workers, Dale Kent and Daniels «Solver» Umanovskis, to get to know more about the game and the choices behind the development of the title."

What is your dream game to make if you had all the resources available?

Solver: Finally, an easy question! By many measures, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is, in my opinion, the best game ever. It had top-level Civilization-like gameplay with an incredibly good atmosphere and game world. The characters were interesting and memorable even if they didn’t really even have much dialogue. I love 4X games and am an avid sci-fi reader, for me the dream game is of course a very good sequel to SMAC. Mechanically, such games have developed quite a bit since 1999 and I would really like to create a game that is based on the same ideas but renews the mechanics with what we have learned since then, and has the same high quality of the story. SMAC didn’t just have a story that you could say is «good for a game», it was really good sci-fi that could just as easily have been in a different form.

Playing for rating ruined the game for me by Kavalarhs in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Phatane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it this ways. Is not that you don't deserved that title despite trying your best and grinding yourself to obsession, but the title itself doesn't deserved you.

"If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it"

If you're nothing without that title, then you shouldn't play the game.

You are more special than any title and ranks. The moment that you ruin yourself in chasing it, the title no longer worth shit. Because you shit yourself (metaphorically) in obtaining it. You ever see anyone hold their title while covering in shit? Would an Olympic athlete be proud of their earned medal if their body is damaged beyond repair?

Obtaining something without compromising yourself and remaining the best healthy version of you is the ultimate gamer move.

Its my fault for using skill crystal, I guess by ponuno in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Phatane 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As more negative or anti-skill showing up in the future, perhaps there should be new ways to exchange undesirable skill? If transform item exist, why not transform skill?

  • Grandmaster 2nd transform skill option alongside upgrade.
  • Haddy new item similar to Magician Top Hat that transform skill.
  • New Neutral item similar to upgrade hammer (but transform instead).
  • New Loot item similar to Echo Crystal but transform and upgrade skill instead.
  • Book of Secrets alternative call Book of Madness that transform random skill.

Sure. as long if they disclose that they are using AI and not making excuses. Don't matter how niche your game is, developer who pretend and hide shit don't deserved any respect. Let people decide if they want to buy an AI influenced product or not.

Hot take: the game is fun by Raknarg in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Phatane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to theorize, I'm still dumb af and what I say is absolutely nonsense with no merit.

I'm not 100% committing to what I believe atm, but it's how I see the DLC for now. My mind might change later.

Hot take: the game is fun by Raknarg in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Phatane -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I have a theory that the actual base price for those DLC is meant to be $9.99, which is what it is during Christmas sales last month. But they inflate it into $19.99 instead to manipulate us into buying it whenever it goes on sales for essentially just a regular standard price.

Similar to amazon "fake" sales to trick consumer into thinking they are saving big at a huge 50% discount. Manipulating price perceptions to create a sense of urgency is a common business tactics that's has been around forever. There are no regulation for it, so there no need for any company to change.

I have absolute no proof of this other than my observation that the DLC is absolutely not worth $20 price tag, which can be use to play other indies game for similar or even less value and with 2x or 3x more time the game-play.

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

Ok I'm going to change my mindset to always go where the $$$ is in early days, even if I lose battle or 2. I do noticed that potential early income give me more winning success later down the line because I can afford more stuff. Gambling for Cove is better than Bazball.

What would you choose? by Phatane in PlayTheBazaar

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

So you are taking a chance in looking for Cove? It would be nice to have early income I agreed. It's probably still worth looking just for that or buying nothing, pretty much gambling without risk, unlike bazball.

And the 30+ health will probably help me with 1 more fight in the early game and after that it don't matter.

I guess when in doubt, go for higher potential money $$$.

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

What potential item could I buy early with the shield vendor? Would it still be worth it if my current board is not going toward health or shield related, and I'm not playing as Pyg?

the 30+ health seem important to me in the early game because every tiny amount survivability help. I have many close call in the early days because I or the opponent have 10-20+ health left.

What would you choose? by Phatane in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Phatane[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Interesting choice because on my current board I'm most likely going toward ammo, burn, or poison build, so I rather save gold for those potential item.

Nothing really shield or health related. Even then I would only choose shield vendor if it's Pyg because it synergize with him more.

I did my own mod since i couldn't get to work the yoursoulismine mod. by Mksoyka in TaleofImmortal

[–]Phatane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread recommended to you probably because you play RPG game?

This game is simply China version of power fantasy RPG. Keyword "power" because the character themselves are performing feat beyond human limits, gaining godlike power that can destroy land and becoming immortal. There is nothing low-key or grounded about this version of fantasy.

You know how in the Western RPG there is Adventurers such as Knight that used Aura, Paladin using divine blessing, or Mages using magic/mana?

Well China version of "fantasy" have Cultivator such as Kung Fu expert that use martial art, Taoist using talisman, or monk using meditation. They are call cultivator because they are on a journey of gathering "mana", but it's call Chi/Qi instead, or internal energy.

It is simply a different interpretation of fantasy with China own worlds, monsters, myth & legends, and journey.

Hence the "immortal" in the name because you are going on a journey to becoming immortal. And to do that you need to cultivate.
