I beat the Heart!! As Ironclad. Only on ascension level 3 but w/e. Had a great deck with two Offerings, Barricade+that relic that gives you 3 block every time you take an HP hit, Bronze Scales relic. Pretty much a perfect heart-killing setup. And crushed all the elites on floor 3(fought three of them). My attacks were Whirlwind(worked great with Offering), Uppercut, Carnage, that sort of stuff. Had gotten rid of all my normal strikes by the end of it. I accumulated so many relics it went to a page 2! Hah. These ascension levels are scaring me though. I bet there will be one like "fewer rest sites" plus other squares and "Elites no longer drop relics" and other stuff like that.

I just finished rebeating the game and got my first get to fourth act + Heart win! Even at Ascension 0, this guy seemed tough. So happy I went with a poison-block Silent build...

Basically every individual ascension step is minor, it is only as a total they start getting really rough

The Mash posted:Basically every individual ascension step is minor, it is only as a total they start getting really rough It's really funny, because you don't really notice it as you're working up - but you really feel how much easier it is when you drop down. I'm doing ascension 0 again to do act 4 with every class and man, it's like a stroll in a field of flowers compared to A17. I can only imagine what it's like for someone who can consistently win A20.

Is there anything that marks or shows which characters you've cleared the game with since the Heart became a thing? I tend to get distracted easily by other games and cannot for the life of me remember which characters I've done already.

Unless I'm mistaken, I have to do all three again regardless of whether I've done it before, and I was hoping there'd be an easy in-game way of keeping track.

Statistics -> Run History, filter to only show wins and then by each character in turn, and look for floor 51?

I just got my first (and only) kill with the Defect last night. Was kind of a fun deck.... but real slooooooow. Only had three energy... but 5 upgraded defrags, 2 glaciers, a couple of other frost generators with a single blizzard and a couple of self repairs. Also had a single darkness which helped out a lot with high HP enemies, but was hard to control as I was always cycling a lot of frost. The boss relic that adds an orb slot every couple of turns + cracked core was MVP. Third act was a breeze, as long as I could survive until turn 3 or so, nothing could hit me and I just had to wait for blizzard to get big enough. I almost died to the heart as I was almost completely relying on frost for block (outside of glaciers) so couldn't protect against the damage per card played.

God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title

most recent example: I cant get damage up on Silent, so I get wrecked by the first elite I have to face, spend the rest of my rests healing, then get to slime boss and cant get damage up before my deck is slimed to hell and back and I'm facing 18+12+12 damage a turn.

I'm by no means a top tier player, but having just beat A11 on Silent, I do notice a few basic strats that help out. My most reliable wins come from drafting mostly a bunch of block, poison, and powers. I can't get enough of caltrops, footwork and noxious fumes specifically. I hit awakened one on my A11 win and still managed to win by turtling and dropping poison in his first phase, then going all out on powers once he woke up. On the first floor though, I take pretty much any halfway good attack over nothing, because having a little extra punch in elite or exceptionally tough hallway fights is so important. Like, dagger spray might not seem like anything special until you run into 5 slimes.

Pick up a real damage card early, even if it isn't great. Nob is always gonna do damage to you on silent, but you need a way to kill nob + lav before you die/get to 0 damage strikes. Dagger Throw / Poison Stab / Deadly Poison are all 9+ damage for 1 energy/card. Dash is just fantastic in general. Deadly+ in particular is also fantastic for the A1 boss, but any of those will do nicely.

Also don't skip on buying potions at shops, I used to mostly ignore them but picking up a attack/damage/power potion can make early elites much more doable.

So the spoon is actually bad for exhaust decks huh Took 60 damage with 59 health/armor after it procced so i didn't get my 3 block and card draw. Heart only had 100 hp left too

Nihilarian posted:So the spoon is actually bad for exhaust decks huh That sort of depends. Yes, you lose out on the exhaust effects so if you're relying on Feel No Pain/etc to generate block, those cards only become half as effective on average. On the other hand, if you have high-value cards that you would be happy to not exhaust and play more than once, it can be pretty great. Some examples of cards I would usually be happy to play over and over again: Apparition, Offering(+), Warcry+, Disarm, Exhume, Feed, Impervious, Limit Break, Reaper. There are definitely scenarios where based on the current state of your deck, though, you want to pass on the spoon.

Yeah buying potions is tempting to avoid since you want to spend gold on permanent stuff, but there are some amazing potions out there which you can bring to elite or boss fights. It really depends on your build at the time you use it.

All of those people who were like "I really want to play this but I never buy early access games no matter how complete they are" will finally get to play. So they've got that going for them.

Duck and Cover posted:It'd be nice if completed games would launch when they are completed instead of dragging their feet in early access. Imo the addition of Act 4 was really the content push the game needed to be fully ready to leave early access. Two additional months for some spit shine polish seems like the perfect timeline. I think they did this one right even though the game *could* have had a full release in, say, February and been fine. But it's nice that megacrit have high standards for themselves and wanted to push out all major content before "release."

Act 4 was the last major piece of content the game was missing and they've been finishing up the low-quality assets that came earlier in EA and chasing down some lingering bugs. The game has really been fleshed out a lot since I started playing back in February and has a lot more content than it did back then, I don't think they were dragging their feet.

I wasn't clear; I meant my statement as more of a general comment on early access. Why ever release games when you can charge for betas and have people hand wave things away as being "early access"? Whatever it allows indies to make games so it's fine. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Dec 14, 2018 |

I have a friend telling me he doesn't want to buy Slay the Spire because he sees Blood Card as basically the same if not better.  In his defense, $15 is a lot for him.

ninjewtsu posted:Weird comment to make in the thread of an early access game that is good, unless you are trying to say that actually the game is bad My issue is Early Access means whatever the gently caress the developers want it to mean. Alpha? Sure thing. Beta? Yep. Polished marketing tool? Yep. Completed game? Yep. It becomes hard to know when a game is actually at a state in which I'd want to play it. Like I'd consider the game experience complete before the Heart patch while others would disagree. Now what matter is that? Not much but early access sure does clutter the top sellers. Is that one a beta? Is that one an alpha? Baaah I don't know and I don't want to do the research to figure out how far along they are. Really it's a me being lazy issue at least as far as indie companies doing it.

You can believe this is a lie if you want. Jedit posted:It got erased when he ate a ban, I'm pretty sure. Correct.

None of that is an issue with early access, really. Even with full-priced fully released games, some of them are good, and others are utter poo poo that you should definitely not buy.
