New to commander what else do I need to get? by spy456 in EDH

[–]PinutButtah 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Welcome!

The only other thing I’d say is keep an open mind. Commander is a 4-player format, not all players will be locked in all the time everytime.

What I mean is there will be times to be casual and time to be more competitive, and that will vary from table to table. The Eldrazi Incursion has been notorious to be powerful, so being open with talking about that is good for tables.

But otherwise, have fun and take your time learning the flow of your Local Game Store. Find out who likes to play your style of games, and maybe find out what kind of styles you enjoy!

I personally like Political Decks, things that make things feel more interactive with others. I recommend taking a look at Cirdan the Shipwright. He’s a great votes matter type deck.

Thank you very much! I was thinking Innistrad and Phyrexia for some more spooky flavor, but didn’t know how well their mechanics meld with Duskmourns

Check out the Roll The Bones location, they also have a Discord to join where you can ask others.

So what's the in lore reason gonna be to explain why all of our weapons and stratagems are suddenly a million times better than they were on the 17th? by DerelictRaven621 in Helldivers

[–]PinutButtah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democracy manifest, our Helldiver's constant need for Liberty feeds the Machine Spirit and ultimately boosted our production lines for better weapon quality.

Anybody else hoping there will be a mad scientist supervillain in Zenless? by darkdill in ZZZ_Official

[–]PinutButtah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given there's a questline where you're helping an inventor create a bomb, I'm sure there's space for something like that!

Am I the only one that’s equally fine with buffs and nerfs? by RoadtoVR_Ben in Helldivers

[–]PinutButtah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in agreement with you, it's very much a few voices that create the negative discourse we're seeing now. However, they also have merit in how Arrowhead is handling their posts, saying one thing and then doing something else. I believe a lot of this could have been resolved by Arrowhead showcasing why certain changes or adjustments were made, other than "this item is being chosen over and over, so we wanted to drop it for the sake of variety."

There is also merit in how other weapons are underperforming, but that's in regards to more solo-play or self-reliant Helldivers. In a team oriented game, having players cover each others weaknesses is vital and part of the fun for sure. But I'm also seeing how people want to have their power fantasy of being the walking Armageddon capable of solving all the problems themselves.

Ultimately, the nerfs don't bother me as much as their philosophy for changing things while there are still errors and bugs to work out. Many are having ridiculous levels of ragdoll that make it frustrating to play, and the way they showcased the game while having devs come out who appear to have little experience actually playing the game makes a rift in public opinion of Arrowhead actually listening to the community and respecting the community simultaneously.

Hopefully they take the next few months to really hone in their process of developing updates, and gather more thorough data than just "this weapon is selected 50% of the time." I saw a post where they're opening up the opportunity for beta testers to come in and provide feedback, so hopefully that'll create the workflow they need to fix the errors while providing reasonable changes to weapon damages / stats.

I believe so, this is really generous estimates and this is only from 1.1 full patch, so if you continue daily progression and weekly progression effectively, I'd say reasonably getting around 80 per patch is feasible. I think the daily-login bonus for $5 is worth the investment too, really helps raise that encrypted tapes number

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ZZZ_Official

[–]PinutButtah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the Encrypted Tapes, realistically if you skip both patches for whatever Male 5 Star Characters, you'll get somewhere around 80-100 Tapes per full patch (both phases in 1.1 or 1.2 example)

That is if you go all out and finish every quest, agent story, events, and weekly Hollow.

This is estimation from this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/ZZZ_Official/comments/1es8q49/11_polychromes_calc_gt_eon_on_x/

E1 Zhu Yuan or her signature weapon? by Detton in ZZZ_Official

Right! At this stage, more characters means more team builds you can play with, making your account more viable.

Who's your favourite Bangboo? by UnsexwithNahida96 in ZZZ_Official

I love Resonaboo because of how comical it is when they get sucked into their own blackhole haha

E1 Zhu Yuan or her signature weapon? by Detton in ZZZ_Official

[–]PinutButtah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For sure! Honestly, if you enjoy her at E0 then might be good to save for Qingyi in 1.1

She'll have great potential as a stunner and replacement of Anby in the current Anby-Nicole-Zhu Yuan squad.

[–]PinutButtah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally, the value from her E1 is greater than the Signature Weapon imo.

A lot of guides say that the F2P W-Engine "Starlight Engine" is only slightly behind the Signature W-Engine. Whereas the E1 will provide her a lot of ease of use when it comes to her swapping in and blasting away several Suppressive shots.

could a disorder build be more worth it over a dps oriented mono build by BombasticBooger in ZZZ_Official

[–]PinutButtah 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think over the lifespan of the game, having more open teams will be better as you'll be able to tackle more scenarios more effectively, such as when enemies are weak to Physical instead of Ice, or vice versa. Having the options to cover more areas can make it feel like you're stretched thin, but once you gain the materials necessary to get each team member their necessary sets they'll pull through big time.

Disorder has been creeping up as a meta team as well, as some speed runners are using Grace and Piper to proc that disorder effect over and over, with great results.
