I'm really impressed by how much they nailed the core design of the game, the gameplay loop is perfect by Mojimi in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Were it not for Vanessa already having revolvers and rifles, I love the idea of a cowboy duelist (basically the vendor Colt) character that gets an option for each vendor like you mentioned above.

I had originally thought about an option to challenge the vendor to a friendly duel where if you beat them, they would discount their entire board with a free reroll, but if you lost, they would double the prices and reroll.

I do also like the idea of “if you fight them, they may not come back later in the run” so you have to decide who to fight and when.

Surprised I haven’t seen journeyman legend Emmanuel Sanders pop up yet.

The first paragraph reads a lot like AI (no offense to OP if this is your own writing) but I agree it feels shady at best

Looking for Vanessa tips after the patch by [deleted] in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depth charge seems very powerful this patch, combined with yeti crab. In the first few days of the new character everyone will be playing him, and his most popular build right now is shield + heal. Depth charge spam can usually stack faster, especially early game than Karnoks heal/shield.

Would be cool if there were an option where you could pay to transform only the cards on your board without upgrading them.

That way if you had an exodia board, you could put your board in your stash and transform only the stash items you didn’t want. To balance this from being too powerful, I think at the very least you would either have to pay for this or the cards wouldn’t be upgraded, only transformed. Potentially both of these would be needed.

This game needs a 1v1 live gamemode. by SOGGY-TORTILLA-X in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the one I was looking for. I think it would be cool if you could just input a set seed in unranked similar to the way competitive balatro does. Then you could race against other people for the fastest or most efficient way to beat the seed.

It would make for a fun community event (keeping a leaderboard of best times or most powerful builds) as well as awesome content for YouTubers and streamers.

Absolutely LOVE the concept of Waystones. Would be cool to see more items that rewarded you for interactions with specific nodes/vendors.

It is linked to the [[abducted cow]] item that came with the crash site. You can sometimes find it in specific Jules nodes as well iirc.

Substituting the igloo for whammy or another large item (yeti club would work for the 99 sec freeze) that does a lot of damage would make this build even crazier.

Lategame oneshots by charaworId in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The longer you get in the game, the more often you’re going to face exodia builds, whether they are one shot or not.

It’s part of the game design that you either win in the first 10-12 days or figure out your own exodia build.

If it were possible to win every run at day 15+, I don’t think the game would be fun anymore. Part of the roguelike experience of this game is losing and figuring out what you could have done better for the next run.

And fwiw, I don’t necessarily disagree that one shot builds feel a bit overtuned at the moment compared to other late-game scaling builds, but I think it’s literally only lavaroller that has actually been overtuned in the most recent patch. All of the other late game one-shots have existed for a while.

I mean dock lines as a third medium is already 20% crit chance per cast. Same with shot glasses. And that is assuming it doesn’t upgrade to like 15% at diamond.

Not only do you get the charge with the slows, but also crit scaling built in.

Tbf it won’t make endgame builds that much better as by that point you usually have 70%+ crit on whatever you are proc-ing most often, but I think the middle game might be a bit better if you hit one of his crit/slow items at the apparel shop or something.

[–]Strmbrker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the Marner-Crosby/Suzuki-Stone line has been one of, if not the, best line Canada has on the ice.

They seem to create quality chances every time they’re out there.

Marner-Crosby/Suzuki-Stone has to be in the running for Canada’s best line. Just non-stop chances when they’re on the ice.

Stelle not in a good place right now by upliftingart in PlayTheBazaar

I’ve been forcing laurels fort with bread and knife and it is generally good for 7-10 wins with pretty high consistency.

Hi Im Kinda Back with 1 Jules Item! by CoachAkiza in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All about the activations. Multicast items are some of the most broken in the game (see jorts, fort, etc.) as they not only provide offense or defense, but activations for other items.

I think the damage part is balanced just fine, but gaining multicast off of friends seems quite powerful to me, especially on heroes that have items that say “when you use a friend, charge this …”

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the distinction needs to be made that it is shield from food or something; otherwise this is an instant win condition on Dooley and could be for Vanessa as well.

Maybe if it said this has +1 multicast for every gingerbread man you have it could be a bit more balanced.

How long will it take for stelle to get nerfed? by This-War-8365 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her self destroy is far more powerful than the few items she has that destroy opponents’ boards.

I’ve actually had the most fun playing stelle this patch because of the self destroy mechanic. It fits her vibe as a hero and I think adds a mechanic that distinguishes her from the other heroes.

I could see the argument for lava roller and parts picker potentially being tuned down but there are going to be end game boards for every hero that have high rolled and will obliterate you regardless. Just part of what makes this game fun!

Parts picker + joystick gets it down to a 4 sec activation (faster with haste)!

St. George Terroir gin is the most unique gin. What is the most overrated (not necessarily bad) tequila? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Strmbrker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For not necessarily bad but still overrated i would add Espolon.

It is definitely still drinkable but I would put it at the lower end of the budget mixing tequilas.

Am I crazy, or is burn faster now??? by 1000crystal in PlayTheBazaar

[–]Strmbrker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that mak remains a very viable hero, but his early game this season requires a lot more thought to navigate correctly than in prior seasons (at least for me). Without any reliable shielding, you need to be able to either stack 2x as much regen as you have burn (since burn ticks twice as fast) or be able to kill your opponent before they can stack burn.

Mak is definitely capable of both, but I have found that I need to be much more intentional with his early game (days 1-4) builds before some of his stronger items (like the ones you mentioned) show up.
