Yeah but the post i quoted said mediocre: good 9:1 is way, way better than 10:2 which I didn't (don't) get. I certainly understand that 6:4 is much better than 12:9 ofc because you'll pretty consistently have all the cards you want and no weird hands.

Diediedie and that dagger aoe that hit twice aren't too bad. It just hurts more having cards that don't contribute to your win con with silent. Ironchad can just load up on dece cards and win.

What should make this easier to balance than PvP CCGs is that this game is fine unbalanced. They can have op card synergies as long as they're not attainable every run. Epic Fetus isn't a problem to have in Isaac even though it's a free win when you find him (the high from finding items like that is what makes the game so addictive).

I think size matters more in the early game so that really good ones you find later on have a bigger potential impact. By the third map unless you have some combo you're trying to hit you can take cards that just make your deck stronger.

I mostly do daily runs very casually and I've lost against awakened one and time eater plenty, usually with really dumb decks. I don't play very seriously so decks without real scaling can hobble their way to awakened one but be too slow for the second form and totally stupid decks can get hosed by time eater (thanks devs I'll go poison or strengthen every fuckin game like I'm supposed to).

RyokoTK posted:Donu and Deca can't really be stalled out like Awakened One and Time Eater, since you can't control their strength gain (outside of killing Donu, at which point you've won anyway), so it's definitely the only one of the act 3 bosses where being able to dish out 250+ damage in a relatively short time frame is aggressively tested. In other words, you need to be able to deploy meaningful scaling very quickly. The heart is an optional bonus super boss, it is a totally different story and you dont see people complaining about the beat of death very often.

RyokoTK posted:You also never saw people complaining about Awakened One having three heretofore unseen mechanics (curiosity, HP regen, reviving at 0 HP) and it used to be incredibly punishing for new players before they nerfed curiosity. What’s the difference? Time Eater making you pay attention to what you’re doing isn’t an unreasonable ask for a final boss. It's not like a big bad problem StS is obviously still a good game. But I do not like time eater, it puts a significant tax on cards and decks that other enemies and bosses do not test. No Wave fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Jul 10, 2019 |

I can't even say it's bad design. Sometimes things that feel bad are good for the game, and this game is so successful when played in a variety of different ways that idk maybe these things all work for reasons I don't understand. I just know I am always happier getting the no-op donu deca during dailies that lets my deck do its thing.

Ascension 1 is actually my favorite casual mode over A0 because you want to fight as many elites as possible. If my relics dont go off the screen, whats the point?

Strengthen seems like a strong archetype in lower asc levels because you'll have time to scale. Ironclad's auto pick common is shrug it off and the the auto pick rare is battle trance, and the auto pick legendary is offering. So the basic gameplay loop is play defensively while you increase your strength then use sword boomerang/heavy blow/whatever. I havent played past asc 8 so idk what to do when this stops working. A typical good deck has four shrug it offs, an offering, a battle trance, ideally demon form/upgraded limit break, an enrage or two, and one of the lesser strengthen cards (spot weakness, flex maybe if your deck is small enough to realistically hit flex+limit break sometimes). You can get by without the legendaries you'll just have to rely on your other strengthen sources more. I dont think this is the correct way to play the character in higher asc so I'm curious for other replies. No Wave fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jul 18, 2019 |

Heart is maybe a little easier on A1 than A0 because you fight more elites. Very minor though.

Coffee dripper is fine in low asc (as are lots of things), so if you're low asc and it's been working out that's not too surprising. At some point resting becomes close to mandatory, act 2 eventually becomes a total freakin nightmare.

forcing archetypes works for a while if you dont mind losing 70 percent of your runs and then steamrollering the other 30.

In StS it's possible learn on low ascension to take a card about a third of the time in hallway fights so you can hit an amazin 15 card deck that rolls over act 3 if you get that far. Unlearning that is really important, because it is wrong and you dont need to be so op in act 3 that having predator in your deck weakens you very much. There are cards you dont want in act 3 that you very much do want in act 1 and 2 and it's usually worth picking them.

there are more ways to play this game than taking decks to A20. There is a very popular mode called "daily run" which often involves picking dozens of colorless cards that don't do anything. I don't think serious grinders are the ones complaining about time eater or ever have been.

The best act 3 deck is small, but you'll have a weaker deck in acts 1 and 2 (huge generalization ofc). StS has a very mean act 2, which means that playing entirely for act 3 strength will make you lose a lot. Most of the high asc players I've seen play with rather large decks. If you find yourself dying in act 2 a lot being too selective might be your problem. Consistent heart kills are a different question entirely and that's black magic I'll never understand.

I dont mean to knock DD too hard, but it's the kind of game I should totally be into but the thief was the only class I enjoyed. (Full disclosure, I'm the kind of player whose favorite gameplay loop is fighting hard in the early game to earn the right to mash my face on the keyboard and still win in the lategame.)

More people beat A10 than beat the heart with I/S/D. I think A10 is much harder than an A1 heart clear so it just shows me that a lot of people don't really care for the heart or just skip classes they're not into.

He didnt stream anything for a year, apparently he did some work on runeterra but hasnt touched it at all on stream. He started trying to winstreak watcher from 1 to 20, got to 18-20 a few times but never made it now is wrapping up a successful 20-1 winstreak. He has been doing this almost full time for a month now.

Let's say you see 50 common card picks in a run (3 shops with ~3 common cards per shop, 18 hallway fights with 60% of those cards being commons, with some leeway for whatever I'm not thinking about). The odds of not seeing a specific watcher common card is 6.6%, or (18/19)^50, meaning that most runs will be "missing" at least one common. When it's a broken card like Cut Through Fate you'll notice, when it's bowling bash you won't. Fifty picks might even be an overestimate. Seeing cards three times in one run and zero times in another run should not surprise you at all. No Wave fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jun 10, 2020 |
