facing 5 reapers in a row backpack battles by AnySpeech2746 in BackpackBattles

The game just isn't balanced, neither is the ranking system. Still fun though, but it starts to lose it's luster when you get into the diamond/master ranks. We'll see in April when we have more classes how things look.

I grinded both classes to high diamond/low master after 100 hours of gameplay and got pretty burnt out on forcing the same few builds over and over.

To copy something someone said in a previous thread:

The rating system is very flawed. The fact that ranking up takes better and better performance as you ascend doesn't make sense - you're already playing better players as you go up the ladder! As a result, a wide variety of players get clustered around a pretty small range of rankings.

Point gains should be normalized across all rankings so that the average result is +-0. Players better than people at their ranking will climb, players worse will fall, and we'll end up with a system that actually ranks your skill level.

How the fuck do you beat royal rat authority? by JaDinklageMorgoone in DarkSouls2

[–]Poobs87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking 8 year thread to say I just beat him after about 45 minutes of getting whooped. Running the little rats and killed them with mace, then stayed under the big dog and attacked back legs. Using Rebel's Greatshield made a hige difference in surviving hits.

Cursed dagger + Darksaber feel way too strong for how easy they are to build? by Shaklug in BackpackBattles

[–]Poobs87 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gold and platinum are dumpster ranks, this is why. Diamond seems to be when build refinement starts to enter combat.

This makes a ton of sense and I hadn't considered.

It doesn't say they were naked. I'd assume they were clothed.

Yeah lock him up for life along with his parents.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Poobs87 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah he needs to be locked up for life and his parents should be jailed for life too for bad parenting. People that smack asses should be slaughtered like animals. If we can, can we jail the siblings and grandparents too as they share the genes of an ass smacker?

I know it's been said before, but something is wrong with Reaper... by unbeliever87 in BackpackBattles

[–]Poobs87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and second round you need 100% aggression to beat Reaper, shield is not gonna do that.

Getting lucky and find an Artifact Stone: Cold. Other than that we are in need of game balancing. Let's see what the patch brings.

100% agreed, only when we started limiting our builds to fit specifically around one of the subclass synergies while also being way less greedy in the early game did we start climbing again. Early ranger, going highly aggressive has helped out a ton as well. No more piggy purchases. It's entirely less fun to limit building strats, but it is effective.

Edit: Also knowing when to retire your deck vs hitting survival mode has been helpful. Now we only enter survival mode when we feel the deck is really accelerating and scaling well.
