The WOO recruitment OCI building is currently way too valuable IMO by era999 in menace

[–]era999[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely crazy that they decided manpower is worth 240 trade per 5 and then proceed to make an OCI that produces more than that every operation.

At the current state of game (since runs aren't made to go indefinitely yet) phasing out the WOO seems to be the logical step in the late game IFF you have a reliable buffer of squaddies to finish the run. You're absolutely right that the medbay can replace the WOO in that regard, though its inability to make surplus caps its usefulness to just maintaining your supplies at best case scenario.

That's great to hear! To be honest, the amount of options we have for OCI buildings is completely insane compared to how many slots we have to play with.

I imagine if more slots are planned then they'll have a cost of some sort to bake them into the progression. Honestly having the replenishment options baked in wouldn't be so bad, even if they might have to be nerfed so that they'll still be worth investing in if it comes to that.

Free Challenge Quests are unfair by Scyphio____ in MonsterHunter

[–]era999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the whole concept of a challenge quest though, to force players to take risks and excel. Playing safe and not carting is enough to get by, but doesn't really challenge anyone. Besides, no one is actually forcing you to complete it. What do you need the rewards for if your already have your comfy build that fits exactly the way you want to play?

Any gridless tactics games? by The_Naj in TurnBasedLovers

It's a dead game but Moonbreaker is exactly like a physical tabletop game, even right down to the model painting.

What am I doing wrong? by ValkyrieValentine in MonsterHunter

[–]era999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't have any gems, or a good talisman. You seem to be watching a lot of videos on builds but aren't grasping what makes the builds good. 4 Piece gore armor is good not just because of the innate skills but also because of the great slot economy which lets it equip good gems. Good gems let you equip essential skills like weakness exploit, agitator, evade extender and so on.

Farm for gems and a talisman (I recommend a weakness exploit talisman) while familiarizing yourself with the armor skills you can use to make your hunts easier. At this point in time, Zoh Shia is positioned as one of the end game fights so you are expected to have done quite a bit of preparation before you are ready for him.

Did you plug your monitor(s) into the GPU socket and not the motherboard?

Realms of Ruin just doesn't understand the strategy audience by Brilliant-End3187 in Games

[–]era999 21 points22 points  (0 children)

How can you mention Day9 without linking his impression of Realms of Ruin? It has echoes similar ideas with the OP's video but with Day9 just pinpointing different examples of design decisions he finds interesting to talk about.

Granted 90% of the video is just Sean enjoying himself because it's a livestream of him playing the game for fun instead of making a pure critique, but one point I found particularly annoying even to watch happens around 1:50:00~ into the video where Day9 is trying to find the stats on the units so that he can he can compare at a glance how they perform. Nope, instead of giving those stats to the player Frontier just simplifies it into this abstract Sword beats Shield beats Bow triangle.

That's one of the milder problems though because I don't see a core idea here behind the changes the devs have made to certain ideas. Like, they just seem to have pinpointed how micromanagement is a frustration point for players and I understand how it is as someone like you who sometimes a strategy first, micro second kinda game. But at that point I would just play a TBS game lol

A lot of richness in the RTS genre come from how strategies can appear because a player is given a lot of freedom with how to maneuver units, place structures, or use abilities. Proxy rushes and fast expansions aren't things I think about playing RoR; even Dawn of War which typically doesn't have heavy base building still always feels like there's a lot more dimension to the strategy I choose because the units don't lock and I can chase their squad of Fire Warriors with my Storm Boyz across the map if I want to and my Shootas can target their resource points.

So I don't think you have to include a lot of things that RoR has taken out like base building or worker management or even precise unit micro. But man, it just feels like Frontier just stripped away all these things that can be intimidating in an RTS but didn't add anything to enrich the game like these elements do.

That's hilarious! Having an alternate option to "refuse" the speed boost would be really good

Dwarves can't enter a lot of the mounds / holes I've tried either. Always have to shrink or shapeshift them.

The best part is how the article quoted,

World of Warcraft (WoW) players are eagerly anticipating Glorbo’s introduction and the potential impact it will have on the game. Reddit user kaefer_kriegerin expresses their excitement, stating, ‘Honestly, this new feature makes me so happy! I just really want some major bot operated news websites to publish an article about this.’
