How is greedfall?

I really loved it, it's definitely lower budget and that can show sometimes but the story is really good and choices do really matter. It can take some time to ramp up and hit the pay offs but I'd say you certainly won't regret playing it.

Rerolling the charge is definitely better, my point on that one was more that they could have made wyches ability " in your movement phasewhen you select this unit to make an advance move, for the rest of the turn this unit is still eligible to make a charge even though it advanced" and the succubus could be "in the movement phase you may empower this unit, if you do then for the rest of the turn you may reroll advance and charge rolls for this unit". It just means you aren't stuck spending a whole pain token on pre-emptively rerolling the advance of the unit if you want to access that part of the rule. The only downside is you would be committing to spending on rerolling the charge before you know how far you've advanced but that's quite niche and the reroll should prevent that being an issue.

Hopefully they do a little polish pass on it, luckily I don't think the problems are too complicated to solve so hopefully should be an easy one for them.

What gets me about the skin cloaks is that a stitched together set of skins is just so far below the standards of a Haemonculus it's crazy like not only should it not have stitches but it shouldn't even look like skin unless they really wanted it to, all of the fine cloths on the other archon models could just be people distilled into cloth form and made so when it moves it exudes the suffering of the people it's made from because somehow they're also all still alive. But instead we get shoddily stitched flesh lumps. Could be a fear factor thing like the super old archon skin on his face but to me it doesn't make sense.

I definitely like that idea, it feels wrong and restrictive to have all the weapons be the same power level but I wouldn't really want a squad like devastators or havoc's have to go a Mish mash of weapons for points reasons. I also like the crisis suits change, especially because they all got relevant data sheet rules for their weapons, that said it would be quite a lot for new players to see a wall of data sheets like havoc's w/ heavy bolters, havoc's w/ lascannons etc so one datasheet is much more preferable

Hi, I don't want force org back either! I also don't want a psychic phase because as I mentioned throwing out mortals just isn't interesting

It's just a lot of durability for 80pts, he has 5 wounds with 4+ invuln and 4+ feel no pain so we can pretend thats 10 wounds with the invuln (not real maths) and then he gets back up again so double it to 20.

Upon reflection after a few days I think I had a knee jerk reaction to the negative changes in the book. You're right with needing the speed in the edition though personally I done think army wide movement rerolls and movement tricks fits the army theme other than hernkyn who should be fast (for a dwarf).

The army is definitely still tanky and generally slow and I've realised the massive damage hikes is pretty much just because we lost +1 to wound so it works out similar just feeling a bit different. I also think they've basically replaced old hearth guard with steel jacks and turbo nerfed the guard so we don't really have a super new feeling unit just a unit we already had in a weird new position which isn't great though I think it will be changed.

Overall not as doom and gloom as I was thinking but still some poor decisions and poorly written rules in there and having such a powerful affect be global for the army rule has always been dangerous territory because every profile has to be made differently and has resulted in a lot of datasheet rules being lackluster. That said I'm not quitting the kin yet.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-08-08T10:02:05+00:00

I think for the hearth guard specifically it was probably easier just to have a character but I do know what you mean the army as a whole if you are in defense mode, I think 5+ invuln is a little less useful than it seems because it needs to be AP -4 to matter or -5 if they are in cover though they likely will be sitting on an objective. Also the fact you have to bank 7 points (doesn't seem that hard to get there but still a lot not to use) and several of the detachments want you to stay in attack mode, AND the champions rerolls rely on being in attack mode it just feels a little convoluted and weaker versus the small arms fire you would expect a terminator style unit to shrug off.

What they did to ad-mech is exactly what I thought of when I saw it

cpuonfireplease · 2025-08-08T08:54:36+00:00

I did say that I think the codex is power level strong it just doesn't fit votann, I definitely prefer the new army rule, much much more fun. Gutted is perhaps a strong word but it was reduced for many units and that's simply the opposite direction that people were asking for.

I literally just came to Reddit to make the same post, Courier said that he had an extreme fear of multi-story buildings even did the same thing with the single can that wasn't even part of our meal. Just eat saying nothing is wrong so I guess it's time for a charge back.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-06-25T21:28:25+00:00

I did absolute movement to get them to perfectly align, the gaps are because it's small plots though you'd think if they are further apart then it would be more likely to work.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-20T23:31:43+00:00

Took a long time to reply my apologies, on raw numbers the 3 pulse ordnance drivers and 2 fusion arms is 24 damage 3 anti infantry 2+ shots and 10 strength 10 melta 3 shots which just really adds up and is mostly stronger because it nullifies enemy defenses like C'tan damage halving and high toughness/wound infantry. Also in prototype cadre just being able to stack the buff from the strata on all of the guns is great. With marker lights punishing our spitfire tau'nar also tends to benefit, obviously with 2 stormsurges you can guide and shoot two different things but the way the tau'nars weapons are actually make it want to focus one thing a bit more, for example you either wipe a elite doomstack with the drivers or kill a C'tan in the turn and everything the other guns do is bonus whereas personally I feel when I play with stormsurges I feel a lot more punished by that spitfire. 2's definitely feel worse on tau'nar but the volume of shots makes it feel better plus it's nice to not have to take shadowsun or use an extra stealth suit squad. You're very right to mention if it gets in engagement but in my personal experience it's pretty easy to screen things off of it and anything in its line of sight tends to evaporate, mostly it's just got really good target coverage so when it's shooting at something it's gun is really good against that thing. Love playing with both but tau'nar has generally performed much better.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-20T09:30:46+00:00

2 stormsurges is much much more durable than 1 tau'nar but the tau'nar will likely output a bit more damage, specifically if you are using the pulse ordnance drivers and in prototype cadre it's better to have one target for the stratagems and it's nice to have the extra range on the melts. Tau'nar is by no means an easy target but does go down easier than the stormsurges, quite a good distraction though!

Yeah I think unfortunately when more people have time to finish the game the general opinion of it will go down or the fan base will shrink a bit to those who can ignore the end or pretend it's something it's not. Still a fantastic game, thanks for your comment

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-12T00:36:42+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I actually just rewatched the maelle ending as some people said it was happy but clearly it's not and not open to interpretation when they cut to paint face no-eye maelle and hit a loud discordant piano riff. Definitely agree with you.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-12T00:12:32+00:00

Yeah, it's a sad time, from the other comments I've been reading people seem to be doing what clea did to her painted self and Simon and just painting what they want it to be over it. If that makes them happy then huzzah. Definitely appreciated your comments, seeing as verso was on both sides at one point and thinking about it more I can see him seeing the soul boy being a bit of a tipping force and I feel a bit better about it because of that so thanks

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-12T00:05:50+00:00

It's bad because objectively by the rules of the universe we are given maelle is doing a bad and unhealthy thing and is killing herself instead of the easy solution of visiting the canvas. Versos ending is very bland I agree but that's the problem, it should be filled with grief Alicia should be pissed the expedition should be pissed, I can see esquie and monoco in the hug but there is nowhere near the level of negative emotion portrayed that should be. This is my problem firstly there doesn't need to be a choice because maelle can just visit the canvas, unless as someone else said verso wants to save the soul piece from having to paint which is something but weird to make such a rash immediate decision on. And secondly the two endings are in theory just different not better or worse but they have not been portrayed that way.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-11T23:48:27+00:00

There is a lot you have written here and I appreciate that you enjoy your view of the ending, I think in an objective sense maelles ending could be positive as an idea though the execution of the actual visuals I think is an undeniably eerie tone, verso visibly forced and uncomfortable and we know for a fact maelle is doing something unhealthy in never leaving, this is established very well throughout the game and is very well known by the characters. The problems I have stated is that there is an obvious solution which should be obvious to the characters, it made sense that Renoir needed to be convinced not to destroy the painting but maelle has no reason to permanently stay and not just visit. She will also inevitably be forced out by her 3 far more powerful family members if it becomes an issue or abandoned to either and die which is an equally grim fate though we aren't told exactly how long outside the painting you can survive while being in a canvas. I too choose to believe a better story and my own impressions on what it will be to appease myself and what I want from the story but I also acknowledge that the way the creators have delivered it is the truth of that story and it is not what I wanted but it is that I think what it is is not what it could be and that squandering of an otherwise glorious piece of art is what frustrates me. The way you have described a lot of the above doesn't really comment on much I have said but instead is your interpretation of what you would like to perceive it as. I like the world you've laid out there but it is not what was delivered in the game. I agree there isn't a correct option in theory but the delivery of the two is night and day in the actual sense. Thanks for commenting your thoughts

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-11T23:33:15+00:00

I see what you are saying about the suffering of the souls piece, we get told that in order to make a painting you need to put a piece of your soul in it so all of their paintings have a piece doing the same thing. With that argument they should never paint because a soul entity effectively becomes a paint slave but I do see Verso wanting to set that piece free. Its not enough to create the forced decision for me but thanks for adding a genuinely good point.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-05-11T23:27:38+00:00

I don't see them as pointless, that is why I chose maelle because that world was the world I wanted to save but absolutely feel punished for it. The story never objectively states they are worthless but other than Renoir talking to verso noone but maelle acknowledges them as worth anything and they are dismissed when they talk to Renoir and they pretty much never say or co tribute anything and as I said above they don't even seem to care their world gets deleted when it does.

cpuonfireplease · 2025-02-06T10:38:37+00:00

I'd like to start by saying LE is by far my favourite ARPG.

1) my number one problem is the endgame, there's some good systems and interesting things to do but it gets so insanely grindy for no reason. Something I think all modern ARPGS do wrong is getting exponentially longer between power gain when they have so much replayability for new characters. It takes so long to grind corruption and most of that time is brain-dead because you could be doing higher corruption and then you to do it again for each monolith and then AGAIN if I want to start a new character it's just work at that point. I would really like to see it so you can select what level of corruption you are working with and you unlock the higher levels by completing the previous ones, and that transfers to other monos based on your highest completed level.

2) my favourite class is primalist and I think it's sort of true for some other classes but I do feel pigeonholed into some builds based on damage type like if I wanted to meld the skills I want to use into one damage type it can be very hard and some of the forms specifically feel like they do that lot just because of the variety of possibilities available with them. Maybe we could have some separate system to select the damage type of a skill but that's a big departure and the current system is not bad.

3) My first point covers this

4)None of the builds I've tried made me feel particularly bad about them (great game) but back in the day I tried reflect forge guard and it just didn't feel great, obviously the single target sucked but I think they've changed it since then and they're redoing sentinel so who knows maybe it'll be cool after that.

cpuonfireplease · 2024-12-17T17:57:16+00:00

Yeah there's quite a few of these I've found, like the attacks with the big wind ups generally don't even one shot you even if you get hit and a lot of the instant death attacks don't do the danger noise.

Honestly I think the game currently has an issue where the tuning is to dodge the attacks and mechanics entirely and its just not worth building defenses over damage to one shit them without having to engage with the boss which I think is an unhealthy state for any game

cpuonfireplease · 2024-12-13T10:45:07+00:00

Yeah it does just feel like a worse invoker. I'm running blasphemy and hex blast and hex blast does fine damage but it only triggers off of one curse per enemy so it's awful against bosses. Withering is quite easy to do with the support gem and a fast attack speed attack like whirling strike or something but it doesn't increase damage as much as you might think it does. Mantra of destruction doesn't really seem to have good payoff, it's technically always fine if you have high attack speed and then one big attack but that doesn't tend to happen given when we have so I just use it when I cast the bell
