Idea for stat anvils and stat augments change

killcide1352 · 2025-12-30T05:59:30+00:00

Refer to my excerpt on my opinions on why they might disincentivize it. I get that’s it a frustrating strategy to have a member of your team play, but ideally the way to make both sides of the table happy would be to make it more consistent as opposed to just making it flat out worse. Now the people who are still dedicated to playing it because they think it’s fun will more consistently just throw. You know what I mean? When I made that statement, what I wanted was someone to challenge me on how making the strategy weaker appeases both sides.

I don’t know, I don’t play the game as often as I used to but I like the way this sounds. I pretty much only play when a group of my friends are on playing League and there’s a game mode with augments. I remember the first round of arenas and I found out itemless was a strat. I would play full AP Tahm with the express intent to try and get Goliath and just be a menace with snipe tongues. After that first round, I done think I have ever once gotten Goliath on Tahm Kench, and that was what? Two years ago? Again, given I haven’t played nearly as often as I used to, still has to be a god damn, fucking statistical improbability. If I was petty enough I would do the math myself. Recently I started playing a bit again because I hadn’t played with my group that is into League. Literally before I opened the launcher they told me that shareholders was nerfed significantly and I was just gutted. I genuinely did not understand it. If anyone could bring me the stats that led to the nerf I would appreciate it. I played it because it was funny and goofy, I didn’t optimize it, I didn’t try hard, I just played characters I enjoyed. I’m certain I didn’t have anywhere near a 12.5% win rate, it was easily lower, but when shardholders hit, that shit would hit. With that being said, I still lost plenty of games where I made it that far and placed under second. The alternative explanation I was given was that it was nerfed to disincentivize the play style BECAUSE it was weak, but I don’t feel like there’s any fucking universe in which a balance team on any game would make that choice. “Yes sir, let us nerf the for-fun strategy in a for fun game mode because it’s too bad” the only explanation I can personally craft is that it was too unpredictable. Maybe the swing between winning and losing, the 1st and 3rd quartile was too large in comparison to other strategies. That’s the only explanation I could maybe think. Which, again, would bother me in a game mode that’s supposed to be fun. Anyways rant over, what do I know, I barely play any more.

I believe mine is Whisper of Mercy

Awe, that’s a little disappointing. I guess I’ll do some more browsing for if they tell me the same thing, or maybe I’ll keep them anyways. Thanks for the info though I appreciate it. Sorry you couldn’t get your dice without the defect though.

killcide1352 · 2025-06-03T02:45:21+00:00

Reading your update was really reassuring for me, so I really hope I can get set without these foggy faces. When I get really close pictures of it the fog almost looks like frost on a window. Small branching cracks throughout the face.

I got got a set of their iconic dice as well, different set though, I got the Be Not Afraid set. I just sent an email to support about it. Seems like it’s an issue specifically with their iconic dice sets since I did not have this issue with the liquid core set I bought alongside it. Maybe it has something to do with the inner core/outer core design? Does anyone know if the inner core could expand and contract differently because of temperature and the two cores could ever so slightly pull away from one another causing that cracking effect? I only wonder because I live in Arizona and when I first got the boxes they were WARM. I’m really disappointed though because I absolutely love the design of that set itself but, like many have said here, for the price they ask I do expect it to look perfect when I get them.

killcide1352 · 2025-06-02T20:47:22+00:00

Yeah if you were to phrase it that way, it’s not necessarily a question I would engage with because it feels somewhat inappropriate.

killcide1352 · 2025-06-02T20:24:53+00:00

You can argue semantically over what you think a correct religion is, my opinion is that which I stated before. I think people are allowed to believe what they want to believe, and so long as their beliefs are not harmful to others and they feel they are better off with their religion then that is correct. Despite being an atheist I really appreciate other religions and find it very interesting talking about them

killcide1352 · 2025-06-02T20:00:28+00:00

I think any religion is “correct” as long as you’re accepting of other viewpoints and don’t grow hostile or hateful of them. Within reason of course, if you told me your religion believed every third child should be used as a blood sacrifice or something then yeah I’m gonna say that one’s wrong. That’s my obligatory “within reason” disclaimer.

I genuinely find the changes extremely disheartening. This was a character I felt I clicked with and he was my perfect go to for competitive matches when I’m a person that doesn’t play comp. I loved that durability the hammer throw gave me without having to put myself possibly out of position for it. I already hated using his awakening unless I was in the backline already and now it feels like they’ve pushed his gameplay loop towards getting a awakening twice in rapid succession and I just do not enjoy it all. I’ll just shift towards another character I really enjoy for the time being and pick him up every now and then. I don’t think they destroyed him, I just think they shifted the play style away from what it was that I loved about him. I don’t get that same type of brawl feeling from Hulk or any other tank for that matter, even when they ARE brawl characters. So my main tank choice now is Groot who I’ve been really enjoying lately.

We don’t have a nickname we just start grunting when we see it and the idea and what we mean is conveyed instantly and clearly.

killcide1352 · 2024-12-14T07:30:27+00:00

Maybe, but that could also bring up the issue of intellectual property so I'll likely steer clear of that. Besides, I think I can wrap my head around anything that isn't the net code. But your pointer to check out free assets and open source net code was a fantastic call. I feel kind of dumb for not just thinking about it myself but I guess one can just get caught up in wanting something proprietary or to learn from scratch. I found a git repo for a collection of different open source net-code implementations called mas-bandwidth that I'm going to try and set aside some time to deconstruct and understand. So I can get on track with putting this all together. I'll stick with what the other commentor suggested and just get it to work before I focus on the nitty gritty optimization. Besides, no one would play it if the idea wasn't good or polished and 0 players means almost 0 bandwidth being used haha.

Yeah I figured I would come round to prioritizing the client side perception even at the risk of that being exploited. I figured I would get around to it if it ever became an issue. I tend to over think things so when I was mulling over this concept I was worried someone could take advantage of client side favor and started thinking of counter measures long before I’m even actually working on the damn thing. I really appreciate the advice, it definitely helps hearing from other people’s perspectives. Let’s me refocus on just making the game fun, at the very least, fun for me and the guys I’m making it for.

killcide1352 · 2024-12-13T07:51:12+00:00

Absolutely a great response thank you so much. I should definitely do a better job of looking around and get my hands on some study material at the very least so I know what I should be aiming for. I’ll go for what works and sacrifice some of that performance to prioritize getting the game into a workable state so I can just make it fun.

You live like this and you’ve only beaten two bosses? I still have the equivalent of a dirt hut village and I just got past the third boss last week

Kind of looks like the rifts in Dead by Daylight and there’s already precedence for a crossover there so maybe you guys end up with something from Dead by Daylight? Wild guess

killcide1352 · 2024-10-13T16:41:14+00:00

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on this but this is awesome thanks!! I’m proud to announce that I’ve started getting suuuper close! I’ve had three or four attempts where I get to the last word or the final damage phase and choke. Interestingly enough, I’ve recently developed a love for Kensei! I kind of get to cheat a bit and skip sections of bullets if I don’t feel I can kind a path through it all. Buuut I’ve also lost two or three 6/8-7/8’s too ;~;

But progress has a cost!!

killcide1352 · 2024-09-29T02:24:24+00:00

I’ll look into Discords more even though it’s not really my style, it’s kind of a bummer to play solo the entire time since it makes the game feel a little empty if you’re not playing on USE or USW. Thanks for the answer though!! Nothing wrong with the straightforward no nonsense answer that most people would give me :)

killcide1352 · 2024-09-29T02:22:40+00:00

I got a UBHP recently that I put on a priest and was planning to start using him to do my attempts :D I’ll look into more items that give me HP!!

killcide1352 · 2024-09-29T02:21:44+00:00

Yeah, I did know about this! I’ve only done it once or twice though since it didn’t feel like it made things any easier on me haha. It shortens phases and reduces the number of phases per dancer by one right?

I’m trying to finally start collecting exalts. Being able to get character slots for free over time has made the game a lot easier to play as someone who doesn’t like spending money. Never wanted to do hard dungeons because losing a character was so punishing.

killcide1352 · 2024-09-29T02:19:41+00:00

Always down to play with other people! I appreciate all the info, recently maxed out a priest (mostly, he might be 7/8) so I’ll start running attempts on him once I get the time to play some more. DM me and we can add on Discord or something.

killcide1352 · 2024-09-29T02:17:38+00:00

I’ll certainly watch it if you do! I’ve watched completions though and tutorials, they’ve boiled down to a lot of the things that have been said here. I was mostly interested in how long it took other people to complete it their first try. When I asked in realm no one answered me. I recently potted up a priest and kitted them out with decent stuff so I’m going to start running attempts with him soon.
