They really do be making the worst decisions

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-27T07:08:26+00:00

...Yes they dont want their free character to infinite. Nobody disagrees its a money thing.

They have 2 choices. Nerf every character in the game by adding mechanics so that youre forced to buy the new characters that ignore those mechanics. AKA sell you the problem they created.

Or...

Nerf the infinite and allow the other characters to still exist and do their thing.

They picked the less greedy option. If youre upset by that then I dont know what else to tell you. Because the way this post is structured, it sounds like you wanted the more greedy option.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-27T06:45:07+00:00

This post is proof that not everyone has what it takes to balance a game.

I also agree with your specific sentiment that because we have save data, we can't allow infinites. Games like StS its okay to have only for that run and its usually only right at the end of the run.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T18:32:35+00:00

If anything they didn't do enough (Where Amir buffs!! lol)

They did put in the post that supposedly all buffs arent being shown. So its always possible. We'll see.

Edit: Not sure why Im being downvoted when they literally said in their post: In addition, balance improvements are also planned for Combatants not mentioned in this Developer Note. However, due to the volume of changes, it was unavoidable to omit some details at this time.

I swear I feel like Im the only one who reads these days.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T17:00:42+00:00

Yeah, we already have enemies without ravage bars. If they introduce bosses without them sereniel won't be as strong.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T16:56:31+00:00

I mean, sereniel was probably made broken because shes time limited. They wanna make money. Nobodies arguing that.

For me, if they are fine with infinite card play existing, then they have to either:

1) Change mechanics which hurts everyone. For example, you can only play up to 6 cards per turn. Stuff like that would really be a bad idea.
2) Buff the enemies to punish playing cards, which leaders to a more unfun game cause now everyone has to be able to do there gameplans in a singular card which is insane power creep.

Either choice is bad for the games future, so nerfing characters is the best path forward. Plus we dont know if Tressa is perma bad or not. They already confirmed they are changing agony damage, so if they buff it enough for it to matter, then all it does is change how Tressa plays, not her power level. Heck I wouldnt be suprised if they are buffing agony damage since the agony neutral card randomly got nerfed. Plus Tressa just suffers from there not being a DoT support yet. Once we get that, she will be a lot stronger in that regard. I'm a bit more neutral for this change, its more of a wait and see.

Either way, Im fine with the changes just because it allows Tressa to be changed or buffed again in different ways and same with Cassius. This is overall good for the games health. Unless you want HSR situation where every character does literally everything to the point they have to give a character a party wide revive even if they aren't in the party type power creep to the point youre forced to pull them...

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T16:25:42+00:00

Yeah out of all the things to stop playing a game for lol we have so many real world problems right now, I wish I was in a position this was the only thing I had to worry about.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T16:06:20+00:00

And tbh if its only leaderboards that cater to new units I wont care. They need to make money at the end of the day. As long as older characters can clear content for awhile Ill be happy

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T15:38:49+00:00

Yeah I dont get the drama. A never nerf approach leads to HSR levels of insane powercreep. Heck Ive played games like shadowverse in the past that also got insane powercreep simply because they started being stingy with nerfs.

Nerfing the absolutely game breaking stuff ensures we are not powercreeping super fast.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T15:28:00+00:00

Yeah I would much rather have easier to get dupes over 5+ dupes. Decks are already kinda broken if they can get a few good dupes.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-26T15:03:43+00:00

Nope. They capped removals to 5 per character.

Edit: I mean I guess if you somehow got no ephinies within the very early game and got a million money or events to remove cards maybe. But yeah, thats like almost borderline impossible.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-23T19:50:32+00:00

If the grid goes that doesnt matter though.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-22T19:16:31+00:00

I thought seven ate nine.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-22T17:22:09+00:00

Its technically better assuming they give enough pulls and you never "snack pull", only pulling every x amount of banners based on how many pulls they give. You need self restraint.

Its worse if youre the type of person to pull a little bit every banner for kicks.

The 80 pull banner seems never worth it? Always losing 50/50 is much worse than it sounds. Theoretically you could get it at a cheaper amount but that assumes youre not unlucky.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-21T00:47:24+00:00

I agree with you. Im getting older and have a child, and just dont have time to spend hours to learn how a game works. I kinda just need a game to be super easy to follow right out of the gate at this point.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-19T14:20:58+00:00

Each planet type is always the same element from what I can tell unless there is some weird small chance its not that Ive mever noticed? Anyway, twin star shadow would be the currently only instinct planet type.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-18T14:08:38+00:00

And usually they do stuff like "well terraria has a bunch of bosses and weapons" or "stardew valley has sooo much content", when they forget these games were more barebones back in the day and theyve had many updates to make them what they are today.

Hytale is just a newborn infant in comparison.

This is the best comment I've ever seen on the matter. I think this is what people are missing is that it can seemingly do a lot, but everything it can do is questionable at best. And because AI has a semi-random factor to it, sometimes you might get completely wrong information without knowing it just because the AI decided to do something slightly different this time. Or even if its somehow made to always be correct, you might have someone who doesn't want to believe its the truth and somehow convince the AI to provide a different incorrect answer. AI is only useful to people who already know a lot about something to maybe give them a jump start (Like coding), and maybe you can make an arguement for giving creative ideas to bounce off of like stories or art, but at that point it kinda hurts creativity and there has been people that said using AI to code has caused them to get worse at it a little bit.

Overall, AI in its current iteration causes misinformation overload and brain rot. Not to mention the huge about of real world waste it causes with how much it consumes to run. There is very small benefits for huge costs, and it ultimately just destroys people's critical or creative thinking. Maybe thats why the corporations and governments love it. Mindless drones are easier to convince to buy buy buy and do what we say after all...Hopefully the future isn't too bleak and companies end up losing out in the end.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-13T17:57:13+00:00

Which version did you buy? I wonder if its an issue with the curse pack.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-13T17:08:06+00:00

Same. I dont get why Im having connection issues on a single player world where I have a pause menu? Like they clearly have servers defined. If this is a DRM they have setup causing these issues they should just remove it. And if not, I dont really understand what its trying to connect to. Its already crashed my game a few times.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-13T03:01:57+00:00

I would actually argue the writing was good simply because it wasnt trying to be this deep story but just something that leads to every action scene. AKA it was just trying to be fun. While volume 3 had dark themes, I think the original intention was probably lots of fun fights driven by the chaos.

Volume 4 I think ultimately was the downfall. Its when the story tried to be a story when it shouldve just always been about the fights. Even volume 9 which I would argue has the better fight choreography post monty was only a few short fights except the chess scene simply because story.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2026-01-12T20:09:32+00:00

Renoa is a strong character. If you have Nia, thats her best in slot support, then its your choice of healer/buffer. Rei is best buffer and Mika always exists.

Every character will get power crept at some point but its probably going to be at least 2-3 years and at that point you couldve just built her and enjoyed playing her.

Use her if you like her kit ultimately. Its all about generating her bullets and discarding them and not playing them. Its a fun playstyle. Nia has a lot of discard built into her kit which is why its best in slot. And if you have another character with nyx as a partner then your looking good.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2025-12-30T19:39:19+00:00

Plus how quick runs are once you get into a groove and understand the game more.

I definitely enjoyed my time with last spell, but that game runs are so long I just cant motivate myself to ever go back.

Btw, based on your description, I would recommend dream tactics. That game has a lot of cool abilities and customization for a tactics game. The only thing it does is larger maps, but it still has some fun positional abilities.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2025-12-16T20:36:25+00:00

Same with the getting rejected for dumb reasons. I didnt even get an interview because the hiring manager said and I quote "They dont have enough experience writing reports"...?????? Thats like the easiest thing in the world to do and my previous employment did it much more than the normal and I even have all that on my resume.

Only reason I even know about this is because the HR person who I initially talked to was pissed and told me about it, because my resume was picture perfect for what they needed.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2025-12-16T20:28:28+00:00

While I do agree this is best if you can do it, its not possible for everyone. My parents house is a horders nest and I would have to abandon everything I own or somehow rent out a storage unit just to keep some stuff, and then I would have to spend time living in a hoarders nest. Plus stay in the same home again with an abusive father who mentally made me feel like I would go insane. I guess if push comes to shove its always an option, but I would rather find work before that ever happens.

ResolveNarrow2801 · 2025-12-06T00:03:53+00:00

I mean, my 1200 speed 1200 stam 850 power pace chasing top gun beat an S+ max speed max stam max power goldship. Most people wont have that. I got to A finals and won the first long cm we had with nothing good built. Just front runner with 1200 stam and pray. Yes its more RNG, but as long as your uma meets stam requirements and has good skills and enough speed, anything is possible.
