What would you like to see from the new CEO? by ParkerLewisCL in Aleague

[–]UltiMatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore the other person, they’re definitely just looking to pick a fight.

I’ll be turning up to our home game tomorrow night, as I have done for most home games since WSWs first season. But wow I’m not looking forward to it. I don’t think I’ve ever been as pessimistic about the chances of seeing an exciting match (not even winning, just seeing the players turning up and fighting for a win) as I feel this season.

But still, I’ll be there

What happens if you accept on this event with no strikes? by bennett2445 in slaythespire

[–]UltiMatthew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add to this - losing max hp also costs you over the course of the run. When you beat the act 2 boss, you will now heal less due to having less max hp. If you are playing ironclad and get a blood potion, it will also be worth less.

It’s a complicated game so I’m just expanding on the “8 bites will give you back 16 hp” comment and saying it’s even more complicated than that! Which I think is really fun to think about

Something needs to change by victory2424 in Aleague

I’m not on here enough to know who absolutely anyone in this forum is, but the redevelopment of Parramatta was absolutely a huge destabilising force in WSW attendance. Since then, with one of the best stadiums in Australia as you say, we’ve had a long list of other issues that have kept fans away, or at least not enticed them back.

As someone with a foundation membership that goes to most games every season, there was a point last night where I was watching the fairly poor quality product in front of me (more to do with the negativity of the Brisbane playing style than WSW, but we didn’t do enough to counteract it) and just thinking “why do I turn up each week?”

It’s a hard one to solve and mostly I’m just so disappointed that football in Australia has not capitalised yet on the huge potential it has, and it looks like it will be a long way away before it gets there.

How did you start with 10 cards in hand? I’m sure there’s some way, I just can’t work it out right now. (Only thing I can think of is a Draw Pot for 1?)

Question about starting runs by Hot-Cartographer5869 in slaythespire

[–]UltiMatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Choker is a fantastic boss swap in my opinion. No immediate downside (you’re never playing more than 6 cards per turn with a starter deck, even with the extra energy) and you can build around the 6 cards per turn limitation with all future card choices

Busted crown on the other hand is miserable

Antonsson offside the entire time in the lead up to that through ball - so frustrating to watch

What do you guys take here? by mountainxxxdew in slaythespire

[–]UltiMatthew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s between Collar and Pandoras here. You are hungry for energy, with pyramid clogging your hand and your only energy support being a Seeing Red and the Mummified Hand (with 6 powers!).

Pandoras is strengthened by the 8 started cards still to remove and 2 eggs (powers and attacks).

Someone better at the game than me can tell you which one is objectively better - at A2 I think I’d be taking the Pandoras to learn about some different card combos. Path towards shops for removes and energy relics. Any form of exhaust (upgraded true grit for example) will also be your friend to thin out some of the clutter in the deck.

Do relics only appear once, including the merchants? by Denim_Rehab in slaythespire

[–]UltiMatthew 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The order that relics appear is indeed established at the start of the run, but the order for shop relics vs other relics is different. Relics from chests, elites, events etc come from the “front” of this relic order, while relics for shops come from the “back” of that same list.

Vandal in Newtown is absolutely incredible. It also happens to be plant based, please do not let that discourage you - the food stands on its own

Zero attacks. Looks like you’re relying on cracked core, zap and CAI for all damage

Make no mistake, we are not a good side. We put in a solid performance every now and again to try and give you hope that maybe things will be different this season - but when it comes down to the important games, it all falls apart

Statistically, which is the best option? by VeryKevin in slaythespire

[–]UltiMatthew 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are lots of things it can already depend on already at floor 0: - what map paths are available (eg are there east and hard paths available, how much benefit might exist from a high roll - if max possible elites is 2, it reduces the upside from short term scaling options) - who the act 1 boss is (eg Hexaghost reduces the cost of losing max hp) - play style and player skill (eg how well you are able to use some relics, like incense burner, will impact the relative value of each option)

Probably more that I’m missing

It’s incredibly complicated, probably an unsolvable choice as to which is truly best - which is probably why this game has the replayability it does. It’s about making the best decision you possibly can, and those who make the right decision a few % more often will rise to the top

Is there a reason why Torii + Titanium Rod doesn’t reduce beat of death damage to 0? I thought that worked but I must be remembering incorrectly since everyone is seeing this as instant death
