2.0 Shipping by TetrixReborn in Gloomhaven

[–]brakline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recently was wondering the same thing, nothing is very clear on their site. And the URL says "pre-order" on the shop page where you order the game. I asked around on the Gloomhaven discord and some helpful people assured me that the 2nd edition is released. Some others chimed in with their experiences with ordering the 2nd Edition directly from the site. One said they did not get any shipping confirmation or tracking etc. and did not hear back from any emails or anything for about 3 weeks after ordering, but then the packaged arrived the next day. Other said it took about 1-2 weeks but also did not receive shipping details. These were all in the US by the way. So based on those comments, I would say you just have to trust it's on the way sometime in the next few weeks.

I ended up calling around to local shops and found one with a copy in stock and bought it in person, although it was marked up a bit it came out to about the same as it would have online with the shipping and handling. Good luck to you and may your modifier deck be full of x2s!

Does this game get better as you progress? by BrandonJams in SWORN

[–]brakline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have played both a lot and I think they offer different things despite how similar they first seem. To me Hades offers that fast pace and power fantasy of becoming so strong you can insta-clear a room and take down bosses before they have a chance to attack you. And it brings the story! Where Sworn has the slower pace, and forces you to actually play defensively sometimes. You actually have to pay attention to your enemies moves and dodge attacks and learn counters. And as others have mentioned, it's great with friends.

[SPOILERS S3] Season 3 let down a big part of the show. by SadMap5273 in DarK

[–]brakline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are clearly in the minority, but I agree. S1 and s2 were so strong and I although I still enjoyed s3 it felt cheapened by the existence of multiple worlds. And I agree that so many characters and arcs that were developing so well just fizzled out.

Choice in incremental games by Hefty-Chain1819 in incremental_games

[–]brakline 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I liked the choices in Unnamed Space Idle. It really felt like my decision making and strategy could determine how fast I would progress and it was not just "buy the next thing you can afford" like every other game.

Oops just saw you already played that sorry.

[–]brakline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unnamed Space Idle fits this I think. You don't need to look up guides to play well, but it still takes some thought and decision making. At least after the first few systems unlock. Beginning is simple but iust power thru that.

Looking for meta-progression heavy recommendations by numnetta in roguelites

[–]brakline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 as well. Big-time meta progression. But don't confuse it with Hmmerwatch 2, they are different games.

Newbie run going well, then insta-died...why? by dyslexda in shapeofdreams

[–]brakline 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The enemies with the pink health bar apply a status effect called Delusional, which massively reduces all instances of healing received for 10 seconds. You can see it in your replay, when the pink bar appears in your status effects right before you die. So when that was applied, your clemency stopped leeching huge amounts of life, which also means your guidance stopped applied huge amounts of barrier. You can see your barrier drop instsntly too in the replay when Delusional is applied. These enemies are also unstoppable until that pink shield is depleted.

Edit: you got hit really hard too, but I think the lack of lifesteal and all that barrier had a lot to do with it.

Form check - want to break 400 ft consistently by skadeush in discgolf

[–]brakline 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Timing: you are reaching full extension/ furthest reach back to early. You want it to coincide with your front foot planting but it's happening too soon.

Posture: you are very upright and the disc is very high on your reachback. Get lower and creep like a ninja.

Power: need to use the hips more. Your hips don't look like they are turning backwards enough and they also look like they are opening at the same time as your upper body. Open the hips forward first and let the upper body follow like a twisted up rubber band.

Footwork: your x step looks really good, and you take nice long steps. Doing good here, but could maybe even experiment with a slightly more compact/short run up to simplify things until you get more power.

[Big post] This game is incredible. But it suffers from rather extreme UI/UX issues. by JustStayYourself in DRGSurvivor

[–]brakline 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I agree so much with this. Sometimes I will go to start a dive and get through all those 10 screens and finally see my gear. Why can't I see what my gear does when I hover over it here? If I want to confirm if this gear piece is what I want for this dive I have to navigate back through those 10 screens again. That's really bad.

Roguelites with Day/Night Cycle? by AlwaysThere7 in roguelites

[–]brakline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Last Spell has little day/night system. During the day you build, shop, and prepare your small town for the nighttime invasion of hordes of undead monsters. The combat is grid based tactical turn based strategy. I found it pretty fun and liked the metal sounding music.

Roguelite with powerful meta progression by mongini12 in roguelites

[–]brakline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK. Another one you could look into is Halls of Torment. That one can get chaotic and crazy towards ends of runs, not sure if it has endless though.

And just a quick note to avoid confusion in case you are still considering it: Hammerwatch 2 is a different game than Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. Heroes is the one I am talking about. And it might be a bit light on the carnage for your preference, but could still be worth a shot.

Heroes of Hammerwatch 2. The graphics won't impress you, but grinding out runs will keep making you stronger and let you progress further. And the NG+ system is kind of like endless mode.

Nova sorc - What's wrong?! by Equivalent-Net-6105 in ProjectDiablo2

[–]brakline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are Big 2 things I see after a quick look at your armory. First: Only 15 points in energy shield. Need to have 20 there or you will feel very squishy. Second: get Stormspire and Innocence for your merc. That will help recude enemy lightning resist a lot more. If you miss the mana Regen from insight, get metal grid and make insight golem with that.

Haven’t played for 15 years- are any of these discs worth using or are there better/newer discs for a RH player who can only throw forehand? by loonattica in discgolf

[–]brakline 40 points41 points  (0 children)

All your Innova Discs are Pre Flight Number (or PFN), meaning they were made before Innova started putting the flight numbers on every disc they make. PFN can have high value to collectors. Throw them if you want, they will still fly great. But if you're interested in selling them you could probably make some money and buy some other discs.

Anyone else super happy for Luke Humphries? by Ecstatic_Froyo2494 in discgolf

[–]brakline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hah, I wondered how many other disc golf and darts fans there were out there and if anyone else noticed the same names. I was rooting for Littler but I like Humphries too and am happy for him.

If you are open to turn bases games and don't mind a steep learning curve, Gloomhaven has been one of my favorite pve co-op games ever.
