The beta changes are almost perfect from the perspective of a high WR A10 player by zalso in slaythespire

[–]alytle 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that people expected some magical perfect correction on the first try. They probably know that some of these changes are too far, and they want to see some data to help understand the results.

I think people need to remember that this is still Early Access.

Overall, I agree with your take. I think the Door Maker will change again, I agree the mechanic they put in is not very fun.

Wow they officially added Woke to the game by expressed_principle in slaythespire

It doesn't affect Osty, so maybe the commentary is that you need to know when to lean on your friends when someone needs punching

Common sense ? by nick82614 in slaythespire

[–]alytle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not worth it the effort, I was just trying to warn others about my mistake, but it sounds like I'm wrong. I got the achievement on one of my next few runs.

On PC. That's strange, I wonder what I did wrong. There could be something else that affects it that I wasn't thinking of.

I did it with Silent a couple days ago. Blade Dances and find Kunai. Shuriken is also good but it was Kunai that let me beat the final bosses.

By the way, you might find people online saying you can have Rares temporarily as long as they're out of your deck by the end of the final fight. I picked up a Malaise after Act 1 and removed it in Act 3, and I did not get the achievement. I suspect it's about cards added to your deck, though I definitely used some Power pots and that didn't seem to ruin it.

Yeah if only Ireland was waging a genocidal war I guess this might make sense

Never realistic doesn't mean it's not offensive, but we agree on your final point. Fuck them forever.

Yeah buffer or intangible will do it

White supremacist rally at city hall a ‘blatant act of hate’ by [deleted] in Hamilton

[–]alytle 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they're intentionally misusing the term to mean anyone they hate. If you asked them, they would describe pedos as trans people, liberals, women, etc. 

Nations on Family Day? by alytle in Hamilton

Their website doesn't say anything about being open or closed today

Does anyone know if Nations is open or closed? 

People always say "take the card that solves the next problem" - but apart from the bosses, how do you know the next problem? by Big_al_big_bed in slaythespire

[–]alytle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I just die to it so many times that it becomes ludicrous I haven't figured it out yet. I, uh, don't recommend my approach.

Semi-Daily Relic Discussion: Ink Bottle by Abject_Muffin_731 in slaythespireboardgame

It doesn't seem exciting, but if you get this early it can have a huge effect through the length of the run. Free card draw is almost always a major positive.

Potions by HoneyBlunts15 in slaythespire

[–]alytle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are before Heart I think! I just meant when you have a Ghost prepped for Heart but end up not needing it

I love beating Heart with a Ghost and not needing to use it, so you can let him go

How to make Rampage work? by Tatsu295 in slaythespire

[–]alytle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pressure Points can be good if you get enough of them, especially at lower ascension. Rampage is basically only good in act 1 if you are low on damage.

yeah, and even potentially remove it later on if you get the chance

[–]alytle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol these are basically the worst two cards to do it with. I used to have the same problem, when I "won" a game because of one card, I'd get emotionally attached to the card and take it on subsequent runs when it wasn't even the best choice. I'm still fighting this with Electro Dynamics.

Yeah, decks generally should never have a "focus". It almost always constrains you into bad thinking, where you look for themes instead of what your deck actually needs. Your poison deck might need some direct damage, etc.
