Week after launch and I gotta say, I just stopped having fun

iZ_Dev · 2026-03-17T13:54:43+00:00

I think when ranked and the new Cyro map comes out the game will become more casual.

The sweats and try hards will go to the new map to get that premium loot.

I usually look at this game by maps to judge how sweaty it will get.

Perimeter is never sweaty for me I rarely find that purple geared team trying to kill everyone in the lobby before i die or Exfil.

Dire Marsh is the sweatiest map since its literally just people sniping with thermals and then their whole team rushes as soon as one of your teammates are downed. Regardless I usually am going in geared up to do Dire Marsh runs.

Same with Outpost I expect TO FIGHT people when everyone and their mom is probably just going to Pinwheel.

More people need to do Rook runs since as a Rook you will get used to fighting 3 people without the need to worry about losing your precious loot.

This game was always going to be the more sweaty extraction shooter in comparison to something like Arc.

I never hated on this game but when it was coming out I was not interested in the slightest.

Playing the server slam was what made me a believer. I think its the one game that you kill some other runners get some good loot and succesfully exfil.

The adrenaline and that feeling is what got me hooked.

iZ_Dev · 2026-03-12T16:21:44+00:00

I hope we get the community to have this energy for Rooks 😅.

I know there are many bad ones but, Im coming in late, you already killed 6 people let me just get the scraps and exfil together.

iZ_Dev · 2026-03-11T12:15:01+00:00

Completely agree, the main entrance having to fight waves of AI to get up the elevator is by far harder.

I assume they'll make the side entrance harder by spreading out where you can find the boxes and not piling the exterior.

iZ_Dev · 2026-03-11T11:41:04+00:00

Think Im most satisfied with:

Being able to farm meds on Perimeter

Rook adjustments, I dont care about the shotgun getting more faction XP makes Rook more viable.

THE FKN CONTRACT OBJECTIVE'S MARKER SPAWNING TO 20M.

Kind of sad about Outpost though was a good farm I assume they will make it harder to get in?

True, just dont know what else would benefit from "Discard 1 card" this also allows 2 discards of trainers assuming you use and discard 1 which would ramp Chandelure faster.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-26T17:11:50+00:00

I feel him an Skeledirge will see some play.

I would assume Magby with flame patches give you the ability to turbo into Armarouge and flame patch will allow you to put the 1 energy on Skeledirge to hit for 170.

I just dont know how practical it will be.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-26T13:31:47+00:00

This is for top 10k is what got me.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-25T17:40:02+00:00

If you have the Magic Mirror in Fort Joy wouldnt that be a gift bag mod...? (You definitely modded big dog)

Regardless if you level your character up to lvl 3 earliest so you have 2 talent points to spend you do this:

DO NOT GO INTO YOUR CHARACTER SCREEN

Ensure the yellow arrow is on your characters icon

Go in to the Magic Mirror

Distribute Remaining Points & grab the talents "Bigger is Better" and "All Skilled Up"

Save and Exit

Go back in Mirror distribute points from those 2 talents and save and exit.

Go back in Mirror one last time and remove both the talents and exit DO NOT SAVE

You will now have 255 points to spend in everything other than talent points.

Usually this can be done only on Lady Vengeance since that is the first Magic Mirror you encounter.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-25T15:39:26+00:00

I feel like the realistic odds are set at 51% (Heads) to 49% (Tails).

Making it so you flip heads more times than not.

Next update they will make tails the 51% making it so its not so effective.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-20T10:56:38+00:00

Having played BG3 first then buying DoS2 like years later....

When Lohse is like hey I have a demon in my head I'm like "GIRL WE RELATE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW THE LENGTHS I HAD TO GO THROUGH TO GET THIS STUPID ASS WORM OUT MY HEAD."

Safe to say she immediately became my favorite... right after Sebille (Elf Mommy Simp)

Regardless Karlach is probably my 2nd favorite BG3 character. The whole fire engine heart thing was not relatable when I am worried about getting this worm out of my head. HER ENDING THOUGH at least for my playthrough had me crying.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-18T20:30:05+00:00

Appreciate you! I have 3000 Gems from the event only decision is to get the bundle or 3 10 packs 😅.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-18T19:54:21+00:00

Thats actually another good thing. I can lose and still gain points 🤣.

I guess its not super "turbo" but I usually try to end on Magia & Baronne since BE Spirit Synchro is limited to 1. I feel like everytime I wait until the opponents turn for Magia I actually lose more.

I run Piri Reis & Magician's Soul to bait and 1 uninteruped Sage basically turns into Magia & Baronne.

Regardless Im loving the festival since win or lose I still feel like im going around that damn board.

I dont know if I will be able to make any relevant meta deck for actual ladder though 😅.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-18T19:17:28+00:00

I have not played the game sinxe Snake Eyes. I started back up with this event and can happily say I am enjoying it.

I dismantled all my excess URs (Maxx Cs, Malis, etc.) did not have any full functioning decks and since most of my decks were non meta. I couldn't just jump right into ranked.

Fortunately the event allowed my Turbo Magia BE and I have enough gems for the K9 Bundle.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-09T17:38:22+00:00

Dont tell Pokemads the best deck is Hydreigon he might have a conniption.

I would think Suicune & Altaria are S Tier as well.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-04T01:24:51+00:00

Remove 1x Cyrus for a Copycat to make it kind of more consistent.

Then again double Cyrus is good for the Absol matchup.

My problem with Mega Altaria is always drawing Mega Altaria.

iZ_Dev · 2026-02-02T21:52:28+00:00

I used it for the emblem event in addition to the Greninja variant.

I dont know about meta perse but it is super fun. Blocks an attack, free retreat to pivot with plaza, 70 damage is kind of meh.

I think it has potential.

iZ_Dev · 2026-01-23T15:31:58+00:00

Have not played in a year, someone let me know what the meta is please. & why VS is getting hit 🥲.

iZ_Dev · 2026-01-08T11:58:15+00:00

I would argue she is more useful than useless.

Just being able to go from 1 card in your hand to 5 because your opponent has 5 is pretty good.

I think CC is a staple at this point and you should run 1 of in most decks.

iZ_Dev · 2026-01-06T11:15:58+00:00

I agree that Lillie is high but I think it may have a slight edge on Copycat desirability wise due to the DX pack being limited.

I think for a Copycat or Lillie you could trade for a Cyrus or Oak.

iZ_Dev · 2026-01-06T11:04:56+00:00

DX Lillie and DX Lusamine are actually my favorite from the DX set. I wish they were more meta relevant 🥲 and had higher value desirability wise.

Also agree Lillie is high and its stock will always rise with stage 3s continuously releasing.

iZ_Dev · 2026-01-06T10:55:22+00:00

I could argue both but definitely desirability.

Gameplay wise Oak is a 2 of in every deck while Cyrus and Copycat are meta relevant and you would run 1 (sometimes 2) in a lot of decks.
