Game's good. Last night I made my way as far to the right as possible before hitting the impenetrable wall. I wasted my bombs trying to do trick shots in the pyramid, so I couldn't get further into it than the entrance. I then spent my time finding neat and inventive ways to die. 10/10 would piss off the gods again. EDIT: Has anyone confirmed if passive spell effects stack? For example, if I put a shitload of slime trails on a projectile, would it create more slime than using only one? I basically want to turn the game into one big Jello wrestling ring.

It's RNG heavy, but I only had one run last night that felt genuinely unfair, since I got all the way to the Ice Caves or whatever the third level is in the progression without finding any wands. The RNG mostly dictates how hilariously chaotic the run gets. Chances are, by the second level, you're going to get an upgraded main weapon wand. It's just up to the RNG if it's a machine gun of bouncy balls or a want with a bunch of nukes in it.

Victory Position posted:the real irksome thing is that while toxin can kill you dead, it'll only reduce the health of enemies to 1, meaning that you can't use it for environmental deaths, only a general weakening of their health Toxin will never take you below 3-5hp. Hubris, on the other hand, is fatal. Toxin ticks are 2hp per, so it not being able to outright kill you is the balancing factor vs. fire, which ticks for 1hp but can kill you dead. This also means that, if your health is low enough or you're desperate, you can dip into toxic sludge to put out a fire. It seems like most of what I find are loaded with either bombs, starting wand missiles, or bouncers. Which is great, don't get me wrong, but I'd love to get more interesting stuff like rain and digging more commonly.

EVIL Gibson posted:This is like nethack where if you have teleporitis, it's basically a free teleport but uncontrollable. You can fix it by finding a ring of teleport control which stops the uncontrollable-ness and actually lets you choose to teleport or teleport whenever it tries to warp you somewhere else. The game is lacking in communication. I only learn things like "dumping out potions will allow you to fill bottles with water," here in this thread. I do wish there were guaranteed spawns of stuff like max health ups and wands, though, even if it was something like X per level. That would smooth out the difficulty curve almost as much as reducing sludge's tick damage.

Something hit me while half asleep today, so I wanted to float it here. What would you all think of a quick dodge move? Something like a blink backward relative to the crosshairs or mouse cursor to move out of the way of projectiles not tied to a wand or potion. Tying it to the levitation meter makes the most sense to me from a game design perspective since it's already a feature, but a cooldown could work, too. That would go a long way to increase survivability. We've all had things ended by projectiles or other dangers landing in our laps that we could see coming, but couldn't dodge in time due to momentum or the danger moving faster than the wizard could. This would not only remove that frustration, but introduce another player skill component that would feel pretty good to master. Being able to instantly move backward a couple block's length seems to me, in my half awake state, would work really well in game.

Ass_Burgerer posted:Yeah shuffle wands 100% need to go. They're not fun to work with and are just a chaotic mess when designing a wand. I like the idea behind shuffle wands and think they could be a lot of fun in a different game, but, in practice, they don't fit the deliberate feel of Noita. Like a few other people here have mentioned, I wind up using them either to store multiples of a spell, or, if I pick one up outside of the Holy Mountain, to keep their spells until I can remove them and place them in non-shuffle wands. They don't actually add anything to the game play except wands found in the wild that range from "no more useful than a non-shuffle wand" to "uselessly random." The most common way they affect a given run is by filling up an inventory slot until their spells can be removed and the wand can be dumped. I really want to like them, and think they're a compelling idea, but they're so common and boring that they can be removed from the game and I wouldn't bat an eye. They could be fun if they were a) rare, and b) always loaded with 2-3 level out-of-depth spells and modifiers for the sheer chaos of that, but as they stand, they just aren't fun.

Anyone else getting a blank white screen and crash when loading the game? This just started happening tonight. I'm running the beta branch and tried verifying the files and reinstalling it, but neither worked. EDIT: Never mind, a computer restart fixed it.

The_White_Crane posted:- Edit Wands Anywhere needs to be a default behavior, not a perk. At the moment, actually getting a good offensive wand is excessively difficult, partly because some of the basic projectiles are frankly poo poo. This causes knock-on problems too, in that you often have to take like three wands with an assortment of boring projectile spells to the end of the level so you can try and concoct a decent primary attack tool, which means sometimes leaving behind wands that contain the interesting utility spells, which limits your ability to engage with the neat physics system. At first, I would have disagreed with you. I liked the feeling of getting through level by the skin of my teeth and whatever I could scavenge. Now, though, I completely agree. It punishes exploration outside of the default path, since every new place you visit without a holy mountain between you and it and experimentation, both of which are core themes in the game. I understand not wanting to mess with the flow of the game mid-level, but at least leave that choice to the player.

EVERY TIME I find a wand with nukes I pick it up and EVERY TIME I move to what I think is a safe spot and EVERY TIME I use it I blow myself up.

Brasseye posted:Ive played like 30 hours of this now and only seen giga black hole twice. once on literally my first ever run where I cast it and died, the second time i got it was yesterday, put it on a wand with trigger bolt and it carried me to my first win. I've also only gotten giga black hole twice, the second time just far enough from the first that I forgot what happened when it's cast. That was a good run, too.

I love the simplicity of putting a chainsaw in the starting bomb wand. There's something so satisfying about chewing through a crowd of enemies before they have a chance to react.

GulagDolls posted:it would be nice to have a place to ACTUALLY safely experiment with wands....as in....for those of us who don't really have a firm grasp on how stuff works, be temporarily invulnerable so u can try out a wand combo and have it not just, blow up in your face and kill you instantly. idk. those deaths are funny but also...I want to live. I'd love a training room mode outside of the main game where you can safely test out the spells you've found in-game. Give it a bunch of regenerating scenery, some training dummies, full invincibility for the witch, a set of different wands with varying recharge and cast delay times, and a full inventory of every spell you've actually used at least once in the main game so that it still makes you experience that sweet, sweet, ohshit moment when casting a spell the first time not knowing exactly what it does.

Terry van Feleday posted:The god tier perks are, imo: This list is completely correct, but missing melee immunity. That and a fast firing chainsaw wand makes Noita play like Doom with permanent berserk mode.
