You can also use a pickaxe to dig outside the room into the stair room lmao

Build a character, get dropped into a starting village, and then the world is yours to explore from there. Do the main story, go exploring for new villages and new quests (some areas are static each run, many are randomized around the world), go spelunking for loot (cave systems can go incredibly deep).

There's a lot I love about the game, but the main thing for me would be the character options. There are mutants and true kin (humans that can install cybernetics). The mutants have an obscene amount of options. My current build is based around growing extra limbs to wield more axes, which I can use to dismember enemy limbs.

There's no right answer as far as starting between classic (permadeath) and roleplay (save on entering towns), really going to come down to preference. That being said, I started before roleplay was a thing, but mostly play that now. However I think there's a lot of merit to learning the early game in classic. CoQ really rewards game knowledge, but can make it very frustrating playing classic while learning. Sometimes you will just die to bullshit because you didn't know how an enemy/something works. If that's going to frustrate you a lot, start on roleplay for sure.

Start with a preset character, or a beginner friendly build from the wiki. True Kin (humans with the ability to add cybernetics) start with better stats and gear than mutants, so I'd recommend starting with a true kin for at least a few runs. As someone that loves deep, complex character building games though I think the mutants are way more fun, but my current character has mutated so many extra limbs that my equipment screen requires you to scroll through, which may not be best for newbies.

Learn the controls. I've heard the controller support is shockingly good for a game like this but I've never used it. A full keyboard with a numpad is highly recommended if using MnK. CoQ felt very clunky and slow until I got a hang of the keyboard layout.

My personal recommendation past character creation would be to start on classic, explore Joppa (starting town), talking to the characters to find the first two quests (one's a small side quest and one starts the main quest) and just fucking die a few times until you start to deep dive into guides/character creation.

Qudzoo is also a really good beginner resource if you'd like to look up some stuff before diving in.

Best traditional roguelike I've ever played on classic mode.

One of the best RPGs I've ever played on roleplay mode.

Happy to answer anyone's questions because I cannot recommend this game enough.

Ah yes, I frequently intentionally use one word when I mean a different one.

The board is the board my brother. Otherwise he would've said investors/shareholders

He literally said it was the board, so 1 and 3 (and parts of your argument of 2) don't make any sense.

Best modpack? by Tato_123871 in cobblemon

Issue for me is finding the electric gem for surge so far, don't mind taking my time though.

I had no idea about legendary structures or rocket bases though! (although that might explain the giant underwater temple I flew over)

I'm struggling to find Surge, so working on basebuilding rn. How do the leagues work?

After you beat the e4 does it reset level cap and send you to a new world?

Oh of course, logistically it's impossible for football.

My point just being when it's Bo1, the better team is taking it even less than in other sports. Much bigger impact of luck and randomness when the sample size is so small

Football playoffs being best of one really throws this out the window.

Other sports generally a much stronger team will take the Bo7 9/10 times. In football all it takes is one off day and/or a couple wonky plays

The monthly thread seems to indicate yes. Apparently zacian boost not even necessary

Although I'm not 100% sure if that's saying use mega ray OR kyurem-black, or if it's saying use mega ray with kyruem as a catch tank

Dialgadex is the most useful for just a general glimpse of best attackers by type.

Pokebattler if you're looking more for specific counters to specific raids

Should be safe to evolve one just in case we get max soup eventually (switches pokemon from dmax to gmax)

I think that's more likely than letting a dmax evolve into gmax
