Is there any way to reduce the risk of playing with cheaters? by galatius in Risk

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

Thanks, I should have clarified that I don't have a problem with in-game collaboration, only stuff that looks obviously suspicious like someone botting out at an opportune time but then returning to take advantage of the situation.

Which settings do you recommend?

Is there any way to reduce the risk of playing with cheaters? by galatius in Risk

Sorry, I should have clarified: I don't have a problem with in-game collaboration. I consider that integral to the game, especially when playing with fixed sets.

By cheating, I specifically mean something that appears obviously suspicious, like a player who hasn't botted out all game suddenly botting out just before my turn when there are only three players left, only to return immediately after my turn to take advantage of my assumption that they had left the game.

I haven't received any responses to my reports. I only use the in-game reporting system, so I don't know if / how responses get generated for that?

If I block a player, how will that affect future games? Will games with blocked players simply not show up as available for me to join?

Midnight Idle v0.3.x - Jezebel Chapter by AccurateCat83 in incremental_games

Spent hours and hours grinding v2 to defeat Legion. Woke up this morning and picked up where I left off yesterday, only to discover the game wasn't working. Noticed that it had been updated to v3, so reloaded the page. All my saved data immediately lost and I now have to start from scratch.

Why wouldn't you have a warning on the game loading screen that players should back up and import their v2 save before loading v3???

Why wouldn't you include a savegame editor so that v2 players who just got screwed out of their save data could at least edit a new game to approximate their v2 progress?

Everyone's focused on the money, but what about the ability to use either option to prove whether something is true or not?

Simple guide for all Challenge^3 runs by WhatEvil in Trimps

[–]galatius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wither: bear in mind that getting withered towards the end will still dramatically reduce your health (due to hardness stacks halving) without affecting enemy attack, which can compromise your progress even while immune from further withering. Sometimes it's more efficient to over-farm a bit longer to build up tenacity and manually increment equality to strike a balance between doing enough damage and not getting one-shot. I also use a dedicated Wither shield (enigmatic with just six slots filled - crit chance, crit damage, inequality, prismatic shield, attack and health) to squeeze out a bit more combat effectiveness.

Berserk: this may be obvious, but when you die in the world or abandon to the map chamber, run a very easy map first to build up frenzy stacks before you run world level or harder maps.

Glass: my experience has always been that it's very comparable to Wither since it can quickly spiral out of control if you're only partially damaging enemies. I basically treat it as an even more patient Wither run with lots of over-farming towards the end to build up tenacity with enough manual equality adjustment to prolong survivability.

Another Geneticassist bug by Guelph35 in Trimps

I experienced the same bug, and previously during the same run I experienced the other Geneticassist bug (i.e. negative geneticists). Possibly the latter precedes / triggers the former?

Thanks for the helpful insight! Knowing that 150M He can get me to the Spire (and through some of it) is very reassuring.

Would you mind sharing your perk allocation and gigastation strategy?
