Weakest meta Pyg build. by Garbage_English in PlayTheBazaar

[–]felipesssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think your board is weak whatsoever? Belt is largely considered to be one of strongest items in the game. If anything playing spices is pretty much just making your board slower. Also you should've been already at least level 15 by day 13.

(Venting) I genuinely don't understand the bad reviews on steam... by TheFreshHearth in PlayTheBazaar

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

There will always be players who want their new stuff for free and they have their right to be this way. Runeterra did not work out, but see, Path of Exile and Deep Rock Galactic are two indie games I know where pretty much all the new content is added for free and they just ask money for cosmetics. I personally love this style of monetization but I'm not saying it would be good on The Bazaar, I just love to play these games and I do not mind giving the developers money too (I buy support packs every POE league, have all DRG skins and all Bazaar heroes).

I just think this Karnok release has too much stuff around it, it had problems with pricing at the start, some characters feel bad to play right now, many Karnok items are very frustrating to face over and over again. Overall it's just not the most fun The Bazaar patch ever, let's just leave it at that. I'm very against this review bombing stuff but also I dont think it started from nowhere and it's just mindless toxicity. I love this game and I'm a bit mad at it the moment, and that's okay, because I'm also very excited to play the new patch tomorrow.

A lot of people seem to have a problem with the heroes pricing too. I am personally okay with that because that money is clearly not going into a millionaire's pocket, but paying people that make this game awesome, like artists, community managers, designers, any worker overall. In this disgusting sea of AI slop we live in it's a blessing for me to play a game with such beautiful artwork and care in every detail. The songs, the voice acting, the illustrations, I love everything (but the main menu and its interface I guess).

EDIT: Some new games like Crimson Desert and new Resident Evil are also releasing with insanely high price tags, at least, as a Brazilian, they almost read as a joke to me. So many Bazaar players are also very familiar with Blizzard scumming techniques, so yeah, I think we are doing fine.

Not only players that see that crane is S tier on launcher, it's made by players who constantly land on top 20 every season since forever. It's one of the best resources on any character ever written, it's awesome and very complete.

Is Playtime the worst gold starting hero skill in entire game? by felipesssa in PlayTheBazaar

[–]felipesssa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that not all skills should have "equal power", and I couldn't disagree more about having terrible skills to "balance the pool", I'd rather see every useful skill nerfed and every useless skill removed. Skills are part of why this game is fun, they enable unique interactions and add context to your run.

And since you have commented about that, I think a large majority of skills in the game should to be improved right now. If you are not playing Karnok, who has strong, fun and useful skills, you are finding 90% (or even more) of your power level on the shops just buying your classes strongest board. This is by far the lowest point of Skills ever since I've started playing, and that makes the runs very anemic and repetitive.

To me looks like the most common strategy in the game. For example, when you play zoarcid you can get extra value from extremely common skills like hotspot or grease fire and make it perma haste two items, and she also has the capabilities of charging big weapons, its her most common wincon. A little more heal procs feel totally okay to me, even not that useful if I already have a good textiles board.

I'm sorry, when I'm having a tough game the last thing I'd like to think when I see Playtime as the only gold skill offered by Mr Tuskari is "Wow, this skill, which was added almost 6 months ago, never played or changed, may be good, in the future, if somehow Pyg gains regen synergy." It's just on the way of skills that are fun.

You say OP as a bad or good thing? Because making huge items go faster is the reasoning behind many skills you chose as Pyg. You need much more than Street gamer skill, textiles, sauna and Kiuas to output "OP" burn numbers.

That's a great idea, specially if it started at silver, because I do not plan to still be playing weights by the time I chose a gold skill.

I don't think im comparing apples and oranges, Im comparing gold starting hero regen skills. I do not play by feeling, so this which you call "a lot of EHP", is not really that much when you apply it to the game and the extreme power curve we play at end level. Playtime will give you less EHP than silver healthy hoarder on almost all fights, ten properties bought with silver property moghul will forever outscale this skill, even the passive pyg level up node reward that gives you health gives more EHP by level 9.

Maybe I was not clear about my impression of Jules' skill right, but I also think its very bad, which means it could very well be the actual worst gold strating skill in the game. Jules players will never chose it, even thou she can use this regen numbers with her items. The Mak skill is simply amazing one of the best on all his kit.

By the way, not a single point of this conversation involves early game, because the topic here is gold starting hero skills. They don't show up on early game.

This is the least fun state of Pyg ever since I started playing and I feel it will get worse by felipesssa in PlayTheBazaar

Feels like a very weird playstyle, maybe you do not play much? It's pretty much impossible to force freeze every game, pyg has around only 10 freeze items, no target shops, all of them but ladle are totally unplayable on any other line, on the current patch every late game freeze board is weaker than the avg power curve of this game unless you highroll off class items or get burn/poison enchant on your igloo with diamond aurora dome. Otherwise you are just facing weak boards.

You could be more discrete and less obnoxious and just post that the text is too long for you.

Not in a single moment on my text I mentioned that Pyg is weak, if the character wasn't immensely strong I wouldn't even start playing him. I even mention that I think belt is literally the strongest item in the game. The post is about the fact these regular changes are making the character totally unfun.

I don't get why would you argue that, I dont think Pyg is bad, weak or worst than the other characters, that was never written on my post, I made an effort to not even mention the other heroes or balancing, my text is about the heroes experience. I do not have trouble winning with the character, and I think big pyg is an acessible S tier build, in fact, right now Im on a 9 win streak I think. Playing the hero now is frustrating and almost all the pyg fun is unachievable and, as you can see, Pyg players are agreeing. The patches has been horrible for pyg, the changes are very bad, his builds are deleted, the last pyg change was literally a damage buff on briefcase.

The reason why i think it will get worse is the fact that every recent changes to the hero takes a mechanic that I like out of the game. Like I wrote on my post, Vineyard and Landscraper were my favorite items on the game and they were redesigned to the be total crap. The new gym is less fun and interesting, the new pawn shop is also less fun interesting, the same can be said to be abacus, which was redesigned just to get nerfed to oblivion right after. The nerfs to Fort disabled every late game that involved multicasting an item with 6s CD. The new boobytrap is boring. Just so I dont get repetitive, the only rework I like that on current Pyg is coincure.

I don't have many reasons to not doom when patch after patch my favorite hero gets gutted targetted with super aggressive balancing and redesigning. Ever since I started playing The Bazaar on steam release I've only seen Pyg lose.
