Lobby 2/4
Shame season 2 completely killed orenji juisu...
>>737074531They shouldn't have flooded the game with a bunch of>who gives a fuckOCs instead of you know, actual Orange Juice characters? I know that's what killed the game for me at least, especially when many of them end up being overpowered to a retarded degree.
>>737074635I honestly can't believe that they didn't just make 100% Orange Juice 2 or something like that at this point. It'd probably sell gangbusters. I guess lazily milking the original was just too easy.Here's hoping that someone will make a spiritual successor instead.
>>737075790I wouldn't even be opposed to them continuing to make DLC for the game if the DLC consisted of>Characters that actually fucking belong>Cosmetics>CardsInstead all we get are Deviantart-tier OCs with passives and Hypers that get more and more absurd with each new release, because FUCK YOU if you play an older DLC character or god forbid a base game character. I finally gave in and quit with Hero Kai and Hyper Ellie's release, because being killed from full health as Fernet and Kyoko solely from Hero Kai using his Hyper was the straw that broke the camel's back.>B-But Nath can kill you in one hit with her Hyper too!Yes, but Nath has to sacrifice all of her Stars to do so. Hero Kai only gets set to 1HP, something that's negligible when you remember he gets +5 EVD, meaning nothing beyond a nuking attack is gonna threaten him.Meanwhile the devs have a free ride to infinite DLC via cosmetics, yet the only one we've ever gotten was Suguri and Hime Winter Costumes for some reason. So many of these clone characters like Fernet (Noble), Natsumi (Sweet Blogger), Krilalaris (Pajamas), etc. could've just been cosmetics. Not only would it have cut down on the insane roster bloat, but again, people would still buy it. At this point I think the people working on the game are just allergic to good ideas.
>>737076354They never really tried to balance the game, buffs and nerfs have rarely done much and almost never happen. Outside of the busted highroll hypers of newer characters, the same bully/tank statcheck statlines and decks have been the best pretty much since the game launched over a decade ago. Barely anything regarding the standard gameplay has improved since the game came out.
I can host some OJ. let me download it real quick.

What exactly do you need to be able to play the multiplayer well? I'm a new player, I have not even finished QP's story mode yet, I'm on the last mission. I don't think I would have good cards or whatever you need to stay competitive.
>>7370796732/4>>737079803it doesn't matter. oj is a chill game.put in as many unique cards as you can just to keep things interesting and pick the oj you like most.
>>737079872>it doesn't matter. oj is a chill game.>put in as many unique cards as you can just to keep things interesting and pick the oj you like most.I wish we could do this tomorrow, I'm working right now so it would be hard to play the game.
>>737080072just put it on a 2nd screen and afk between turns
>>7370796733/4
QP here, GGs guys but I really gotta go, I need to actually work. Hope we can do this tomorrow or something. It was way more fun than I though it would be.

>>737075790Fruitbat can't gamedesign
>>737069881Eventually you realise that for Fruitbat it was never about fun gameplay. Phle and Hono want to be rich. So, character choice - especially DLC character choice, contributes to win rate much more than deck picks and card plays.They want you to be addicts, always buying new dlc, because otherwise you can't play, and Phle can't go to sushi bars.
>>737085150This. It's so fucking obvious, that's why every new DLC is stronger than the last. This is why you have clone games like Astral Party popping up, which while shit, yes, are here because people want an alternative to the stagnation and DLC rot of Orange Juice.
>>737079673the lobby is gone again?
>>737085656closed a while ago
>>737086136ohh too bad.
>>737085150>>737085382DLC used to be about gimmick pay to lose unitsDid that change now?
>>737086323It did with the release of Ellie and Lulu back in 2020.

>>737086459Wish I could play but I gotta go to workI forgot all about this game
>>7370864592/4
>>737086323People definitely overhype the DLC units in general, but it's not quite cut and dry.The best strategy for winning the game even before the game was on Steam was to always go for stars norma and to just rush through star normas as quickly as you could. This included avoiding battles (They don't give stars consistently), drawing cards (Drawing a card usually means skipping on a bonus panel), and trying to time landing on your home the moment you got the bare minimum stars for your norma. Logically this just makes the most sense because interacting with players less and trying to win as quickly as possible = less chances for things to go badly.This meant that defensive characters were better since they could generally do that more consistently without dying, and spawning the boss faster heavily favors characters who are tanky enough to just shrug off the boss. Every single balance change 100% Orange juice got to the overall gameplay was a nerf to this playstyle. This is because the devs know this strategy was good.However the majority of people don't actually play this way. Most people actually play the opposite of this strategy. The most popular characters are all highly aggressive characters that often lack defense. This isn't just because people find this more fun, but because a large portion of 100% Orange Juice's playerbase is genuinely stupid and thinks this is the best strategy. They see big damage numbers and their brains go into big unga bunga mode. Because of this, the DLC characters heavily favor offensive characters that have more and more bullshit ways to kill people. Because:1. Defensive characters are less popular and less fun2. Making better defensive characters actually threatens the balance of the game3. Playing defensive is technically better, so "stronger" offensive characters is actually more balanced.The DLC characters aren't OP, they're powercreep over old offensive characters that people mistakenly thought were good.
stop wasting being on the front page and play fucking video gamestitle: thread friends / password: rage
>>737087040Yeah DEF is a seriously undervalued stat. Even +1 makes a character extremely hard to kill. +2 and +3 are almost a guaranteed win. Orange juice treats the stats as 1:1 but they're really not. +1 EVD is dogshit compared to +1 DEF and likewise ATK requires you to be able to start fights consistently and not instantly die to a lucky 5 from a DEF character. Any character with a combination of ATK and DEF is busted.
It has been 3 years since I've played OJ

I love orange juice.
>>7370876584/4come spectate. im sure the anons will make roomlobby: thread friendspass: rage
>>737087603It's all me. I'm planning on releasing my own 100% Orange Juice-like game in a few years and part of my strategy is to make sure everyone hates but also feels nostalgic for the old game so they play my game instead.
>>737087965I have nonidea what the fuck youre talking about. Im talking about actual orange juice.
>>737088024I am also releasing an orange juice drink alternative
>>737088063keep that fruit 'drink' shit to yourself
>>737087278The devs know about how good defense is now for sure. In the past not so much.Reminder that Fernet originally had 7 fucking HP.
