bubbapook posted:The one thing I'm still not very clear about is the interplay between toughness and weapon skill. The help text keeps it deliberately vague, but it'd be good to know more about the mechanics. Assuming the mechanics are exactly the same as the board game, Weapon Skill of attacker vs. Weapon Skill of defender determines what number you need to roll on a die to hit. If your Weapon Skill is equal or a little lower, you hit on 4+, if it's a little higher you hit on 3+. Damage is whatever the weapon says + attacker Strength - defender Toughness, so Toughness is usually better than Max Wounds unless it's a lot of Wounds.

duckfarts posted:Man, whole lotta stuff just dumping on the store: KOTOR, Phoenix Wright, Warhammer Quest... It's a really cool PC game, not sure I'd like it on iOS because input speed is super important. To their credit it looks like they simplified the inputs for iOS but I'm not sure it's good enough. I'll probably try it out tonight.

Playing Warhammer Quest on hardcore is so much fun. Sure, it's bullshit when my guys die, but it does add a nice tension to your progress! gently caress Waagh!, whatever the poo poo it is. Also gently caress Gork and Mork.

WAAAGH!!! is the latent psychic field that all orks emit. The bigger the ork, the more WAAAGH they emit, the stronger they are, the bigger they are, the more command they have over other orks, the stronger they are, the bigger they are, and it goes in circles like this. WAAAGH also does weird poo poo like make red painted Ork vehicles go faster. Because they believe red makes vehicles go faster, it does. The kind of cobbled together poo poo heap weapons that orks use only work because of the WAAAGH, despite any mechanical or physical impossibilites, because the orks believe they will work. An ork gun will fall apart in the hands of a human or catastrophically explode, but that same weapon in the hands of an ork will work (mostly) flawlessly.WAAAGH!!! owns. Orks own. Don't you dare talk poo poo about Gork and Mork.  Jedi Knight Luigi posted:

Once I finish I'll probably go through on hardcore again. Loving this game so far, but looking at the map and the progress indicators it feels like I'm getting close to done already and I'm just getting into level 4. I've also already gotten some masterwork rare weapons on my guys which makes them hilarious to play with. Deathblow combos clearing out entire rooms! One thing I didn't see explained is the stats. Does toughness lower damage taken? How much toughness would wounds be worth? Also ballistic skill, my marauder and iron breaker just leveled that up, but while my marauder can use bows, my iron breaker cannot.

Missed out on a month of iOS stuff since my iPhone got stolen, but I finally get to replace it on June 3rd! Looks like the App Store is going strong at the moment. Any impressions for Warhammer Quest on iPhone 4S/5? I would prefer a 40K game, but I will take what I can get. Also there seems to have been a load of good iPad exclusives recently. Ever closer to buying one...

edit:^^^Slitherine is doing a 40k iOS game. edit2: Downside to Slitherine doing it is that it's gonna cost an arm and a leg and looks like they're opting for PBEM multiplayer as opposed to anything modern. Had a fun moment in my last quest in Warhammer Quest. I get to the final room where the Night Goblin Shaman I'm supposed to kill is chilling, but it's the shaman (and several of his Night Goblin friends) who wreck me. First things first some bowmen score lucky hits and kill my warrior-priest guy, then some spearmen gank my Trollslayer, and my Elven archer-lady gets WAAAGH'd or something to death by the Shaman and his The last guy I have left is some Dwarven fighter-type guy and he's wounded, but upon seeing the enemies he roided the gently caress out, got +5 attacks, and drank some strong booze to heal himself. Over the following turns none of these goblins can hit me, but Yorri Stone-Breaker sure as gently caress can and just rains down deathblows on the enemies. All this for a stupid Grey Wizard's robe. This game is fun, guys, and worth the high price of entry.

Merchant of the Stars is cool, but as some people mentioned earlier, it really needs a "buy and scrap all" button. Or maybe a "buy and scrap these" button where you just tap the ones you want to scrap. Also, I don't know how important it is, but it seems really hard to outfit people with their preferred/effective weapons. Most of the time they don't come up and if they do, they're usually worse than what I've already given them.

Also, the game perhaps doesn't make this as clear as it could, but you can sell a hero an item that matches a weakness even if it's weaker than his current equipment. So it can be a good tradeoff if it's not too much of a regression in power. (I just saw that this is not the case for the favored items; this will probably be added in a patch.)

How do I know how much of an effect a favored/weakness weapon will have then? Is it better to give a guy a 50 power lance than a 100 power sword (assuming he likes lances)? I guess I just want some numbers.

I guess I just want some numbers. They do two separate things. A favored item delivers one extra piece of loot per run (so 6 with one favored and 7 with both favored). A high-powered item scales up the drop table so that each of those 5/6/7 items has a chance to be more powerful/valuable. A hero with starting equipment will tend to bring back stuff with power below 50% of his dungeon power rating; the best drops from a fully kitted out hero will be around 110% of the power rating. In your example, the sword will most likely bring in better loot over time, but only because the numbers are so extreme. If the favored item had power 50 and the other had power 60 it's (deliberately) a judgement call. haveblue fucked around with this message at 21:12 on May 30, 2013 |

Merchant of the Stars is fun, but why oh why is the back button right next to the dismiss button (ie the only button that I can't undo if I accidentally press it). Also, the help button being close to the back button (and both of them being too small) isn't great design for my fat fingers. Move them away from dismiss, double the size of the back button, and it'll help a lot. That plus scrap all would make my day.

Merchant of the Stars is pretty fun! Now I'm just trying to figure out exactly how much honing improves the redemption price, and what a good price for scrap is. High power items give you increasingly expensive scrap so I try to avoid those. It might be a good idea to have a hero whose equipment isn't all that good to sell you scrap fodder.

Sad lions posted:I can confirm the UK site has Warhammer Quest at least: Three loving dollars for each additional character? Warrior Priest and Slayer better be face wrecking gods if each costs almost as much as the entire game. I was planning on grabbing both when I get the game because I figured they'd be $0.99 since the game's $4.99, but apparently SquareEnix isn't alone in lovely pricing schemes.  Still looks interesting but I'll probably hold off on getting it for now and play some PW. Shwqa posted:Make sure if you a playing for the first time that you pick the soldier class. I was bitching about this in another thread, but the other classes are completely useless. Other team members can do the out of combat stuff, so if your main character sucks at combat then you lose quest and each battle is a long boring drag. Also try not to level up too much on the first planet, that will also gimp your character. This was the worst part about my first time playing the game. I wanted to do everything I could on the planet and gained something like 5-6 levels more than necessary as a result. My 2nd time playing I just avoided stuff to stay as low a level as possible because of how much stronger you can get otherwise. It was a really awful part of the game and I wish they'd just stuck in a level cap there or something.

High power items give you increasingly expensive scrap so I try to avoid those. It might be a good idea to have a hero whose equipment isn't all that good to sell you scrap fodder. You should buy scrap from the lowest-level heroes that frequent your shop and use it on the highest-power items the high-level heroes dredge up, because item price scales with the square of item power. It's for this same reason that your profit margin improves less from the first honing than than from subsequent honings, so fully hone items before redeeming them. e: in fact, you can actually make a lot of money from honing the high-power, low-rarity items the powerful heroes bring in, because they require so few materials to hone. In short, item power is the biggest consideration when it comes to deciding what to hone and what to scrap. A HUNGRY MOUTH fucked around with this message at 22:01 on May 30, 2013 |

The Slayer is an awesome godsend and gives you a great, ape-poo poo crazy dwarf who specializes in two handed weapons and bathing in gore. He does this because he has forever shamed himself and seeks to die (gloriously). Warrior Priest is... a bit more nuanced. He's the guy who will be throwing buffs on all your dudes, and these buffs are great—when they work. Keeping in with the randomization theme for magic in this game, your priest's spells have either Weak favor or Strong favor with the fickle gently caress he worships. You can cast 1 spell per turn (so far at least, my guy's level 2) and just who and how many party members that spell effects is also random. When it works it's great! When it doesn't work it sucks. Outside of his spells the Warrior Priest is something of a glass-cannon. The fucker hits hard with his two-handed warhammer, but he has the least amount of wounds/toughness of all the guys you can get.

Yeah, it downloads the whole thing in compressed form, then unpacks it to more empty space, then the compressed form gets deleted. So it only takes up 2gb, but you need the extra space to download/install.
