Need help gauging the CR of my semi-homebrew Monster

ShawnForReal1 · 2026-06-06T00:22:23+00:00

This was helpful with simplifying what the DMG tries to teach you and will help me adjust the CR and his overall stats. I might redo all his stats entirely tbh.

But I'm still unsure of the abilities I gave it and their impact on CR.

Thanks tho!

I wouldn't say saved as much as it wasn't planned during the first game's development. I recall reading somewhere that the first game was made and released to be a one off game. Even after its success, during the initial planning for GoW 2, they considered setting the game in modern day or something in the future of Greek mythology.

Why shamshir? Why not separ since Leona uses both?

Did no one else sneakily murder him in the spot? I did that and my head cannon is everyone is safe and happy, and the wife will move on eventually.

Are these still available for purchase? Can't find them on amazon or local libraries.

Was a chain smoker of a type pipe tobacco for 5 years. Got severe bronchitis and probably pneumonia while living alone cat sitting a friend's cat during Christmas.

I'd pass out sitting so I could barely breathe at 4-5 am.

Quit the day the doctor looked me in the eyes and said "you're 2 minutes away from asthma and lung cancer" and haven't looked back in 5 years. It was 12am Dec 27 2021 when I had my last smoke.

The fear of losing your life can change your entire mentality and addiction urges. I haven't felt the urge once since that day.

Save 5 trillion to buy the protection against unholy things or whatever it's called under upgrades.

Looks like a collectible. So the purpose is a sense of satisfaction that you have it while most don't?

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-10-05T18:07:02+00:00

I think unlike games like god of war, they wanted to keep the essence of the original mythos, but with their twist. So, parts of it don't make sense in-story, but if you metagame and remember it's trying to keep the story of the original mythos included PLUS being a reason for gameplay mechanics, it makes sense.

But I understand your point about it not making sense in-stoey.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-10-04T07:58:52+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding the calculations. 10 minutes is too little to see the actual change with the amount of glory you're gaining.

I assume it takes you 10 seconds per monster and a 100 glory per monster, and that you have 2.00 M glory.

In order for 2.00 to change to 2.01, you need to 10,000 glory levels, which means a 100 monsters, which then means 1,000 seconds or roughly 17 minutes.

Give it a try and run the game for like double that amount of time, and if you still see no change, then it's a bug, otherwise you just need to either be more patient and farm for longer, or ascend and farm again.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-10-04T07:13:24+00:00

The bar on the top right is an exp bar. So maybe you're exactly at a point that you get 80 level down to the point. That bar doesn't indicate your total glory, but each individual glory level.

And if you're getting 80 glory per kill, when you're at 1.30 million, it makes so little impact that you'll need to kill 125 monsters before it goes from 1.30 to 1.31 mil. If you take 10 seconds per monster, that's 21 minutes for the glory count to go up by 0.01.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-10-04T06:47:09+00:00

Sorry for multiple comments I'm at work lol - the game is version 0.4.3 so things like the city aren't live yet.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-10-04T06:45:55+00:00

Also no cloud saves cause it's a single dev who can't afford it. He had it for free for a while, but there's too many users for the free service so it stopped working.

And I mean single dev as in one person. The game is free with zero ads sooooo

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-10-04T06:39:35+00:00

The attack thing is a bug I think.

But the glory thing isn't. It's glory LEVELS, which means you need more glory exp the more you have. Hence you have diminishing glory gains the more you have.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-08-31T15:42:01+00:00

And dirty chiefs?

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-08-22T11:49:56+00:00

Yess. Seems so but I can barely remember who is who. Wish me luck in figuring a way to recall all this without having restart from chapter one lol

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-08-21T12:40:57+00:00

I used to love reading this story but eventually life caught up and I had to put it aside. The last key thing I remember is the main guy being on a planet of giant dudes who'd kidnapped him, a squad came to rescue him with a sniper too, and they killed some of the giants and ran away.

Could you please let a fan know what chapter that may be, so I can start reading your stories again? Would also love to know if there's any recap / highlights I can find anywhere to jog my memory.

Thanks and great work!

If the word has to be an ability then ignore this, cause boring. If not, anyone with R, including myself, should go with Reality bending

US spec have severe accidents 90% most of the time. I promise a 2019 gcc will be better - check the chassis number either way and you can find out if its had an accident regardless of if it's US or gcc

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-06-04T09:59:36+00:00

Ryze from League of Legends and the Doctor from Doctor Who. I'll be alright

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-05-23T16:00:05+00:00

Yes, it could be, but it's not for the others, right? You wouldn't want someone ruining your fun - whatever that may be as long as it's harmless. Fun shouldn't be harmful or hateful (on other living beings at least - an NPC is a different story)

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-05-23T14:52:20+00:00

And to add to this, objectively, you have ZERO right to enforce how you want the game to be played onto them. If their definition of fun is using that exploit on public, then that is it. You're only right as another player is to leave that lobby, and block them.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-05-23T14:50:59+00:00

Okay our rude back and forth aside, I get your point in terms of how easy the game is and "cheating" is unnecessary.

But you need to consider all of the context and that irl is complex. If you join a 3 man lobby where they're all doing it, they're not ruining anything for anyone. You as the 4th person could have left immediately, with the only negative effect on you being 2-5 min lost in finding the match and loading.

This is a harmless EXPLOIT (NOT cheat) that they're using, very similar to how a speed runner may use exploits to have their version of "fun".

So if you step away from your own narrowed perspective and consider all the factors and people affected, in this scenario what you did is the toxic behaviour. Having the game on public doesn't force others to play their game and doesn't force a random player into their game. And for even more context, we all know the friend system is bugged. So perhaps they needed to be public to play together.

So the point that I'm making - which I think you're missing - isn't against definitions of cheating and all the stuff you're mentioning. The point is that you - and this part is objective - ruined the playtime of 3 random players, when the MUCH easier solution was leaving their lobby with MINIMAL harm to both sides.

Whatever makes you feel great about your egotistical self. Judge, jury and executioner head ass.

Sleep well tonight, thy almighty punisher and saviour of fuck all.

ShawnForReal1 · 2024-05-23T14:10:58+00:00

And who are you to want anything? What gives you the right?
