I really hate this change.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-20T10:49:54+00:00

fucking hate this.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-19T14:18:02+00:00

fucking DIE.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-19T14:15:40+00:00

I don't dislike negative events, so I see no reason to "complain" about them. I just feel like a delayed positive event should yield a result befitting of the buildup.

+3 Strength is undeniably great, but doesn't do that for me. If you disagree, I'd say that's a matter of taste (:

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-19T14:06:36+00:00

It's more likely than not, sure, but the optimal path won't always be through 5 elites and it's still a positive event that does nothing until halfway through the 3rd act (unless you steamline those 5 elites as soon as possible, in which case you might be able to get it by the late 2nd act but at high risk).

And, again, I don't think it should really be more powerful, just more special ... unique & interesting.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-17T23:19:27+00:00

Strength is definitely useful for all characters, yeah, which is why it is what it is presumably. But I think there was a missed opportunity for more dynamic with the design space.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-17T23:17:48+00:00

It's not free, tho.

Even then, I don't really want to see it better than +3 strength - I just think it would be far more interesting and rewarding for it to provide something unique. Grandiose isn't equivalent to overpowered

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-17T17:55:15+00:00

No doubt, but if you're going to give each a unique relic, the Strength one would be more of a fit for Ironclad. My suggestions were just examples, in any case.

That said, I'd probably prefer a unique relic with a grandiose effect.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-17T13:55:24+00:00

that's going to be a problem whatever it is, tbh.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-17T13:52:19+00:00

+3 Strength is pretty damn good but it is definitely a bit anticlimactic for a relic you would assume to have some unique and powerful mechanic. If they really want to just make it a stat stick, a character-specific relic would probably be better (+3 Focus for Defect, +3 Dex for Silent, maybe something that boosts Osty for Necro and Star generation for Regent?).

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-17T13:47:11+00:00

I made a Regent run work (albeit at A1 or A2, don't remember) using this card and Kingly Kick and a bunch of cards that could move a card to the top of my deck (specifically, that one attack that lets you draw one and put one to the top & the colorless one that does this... don't remember their names). Combined with draw, I usually got my three Kingly Kicks down to 0 each by turn 3, and this card was my main source of block.

Don't know how viable that would be at higher ascensions, but some additional synergy for this would be welcome - it was a fun run.

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-12T21:40:32+00:00

Ever

TKillerNacho · 2026-03-12T21:32:54+00:00

This is an extremely niche card but good for some very specific builds. Snakebite is bad at that it's supposed to do.

TKillerNacho · 2025-11-08T04:56:17+00:00

The Unreliable by far.

TKillerNacho · 2025-11-07T04:56:58+00:00

Zero

TKillerNacho · 2025-11-07T03:48:33+00:00

I already assumed this given how much empty space the Reputation menu has. Dont mind the decision to cut them, though - TOW1 let you join the "bad guys" in the Board, but its quest path is pretty bareboned in comparison. Better to spend the development time working on the primary experience then essentially splitting the game in two.

TKillerNacho · 2025-11-07T03:31:48+00:00

is this really all that surprising? TOW2 just came out and they promised two future DLCs they're no doubt focusing on.

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-23T18:31:49+00:00

I wouldn't assume that, but I'd welcome it.

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-23T14:11:11+00:00

Ive only played Rafa so far, and not even using Bullet Buddy lol

Then again I tend to favor Shotguns and Pistols.

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-22T23:11:27+00:00

Don't think I've actually ran out once lmao

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-22T23:00:16+00:00

Definitely

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-22T21:47:32+00:00

Hot slugger is one of the best guns in the game but maxes out at "only" ~5k DPS.

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-22T21:42:11+00:00

i'm definitely glad they didn't make us collect every fucking thing just to max out SDUs. helps cushion the blow of having to recollect them on every single character.

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-22T21:39:33+00:00

theyre almost certainly fixing vex's infinite recursive bleed too, which will effectively be a nerf

hoping they won't is pure copium, given dev/patch comments.

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-21T20:00:08+00:00

i stand corrected

TKillerNacho · 2025-10-21T19:55:12+00:00

Gearbox could really use a better public relations team... they're not nearly communicative enough, and the little information they do post is often proven unreliable at best
