>>737781889is it not a game?
>>737781969I'm not arguing against it being a game. For whatever reason, these threads would get shut down fairly quick when the game first came out. I need to jump back in it since i haven't played in quite some time now
>>737781518What the fuck am I supposed to be doing in this game?I'm so lost
Anything been added? I was into this when it came out but progress seems so fucking glacial.
I haven't played in quite a while. Has anything particularly significant been added?>>737781969Yes, that's the problem. /v/ is for twitter screencap ragebait threads. If people talk too much about a videogame, posters shit themselves in anger and demand that the threads be banished to another board, and the mods usually comply.>>737782516Don't worry too much about it. Focus on whatever you find enjoyable, and things will probably work out in the end. You'll eventually discover that you were making things harder on yourself by doing tons of retarded inefficient crap, but that's fine.
>>737782682he's too busy playing slay the spire 2
haven't played since around when it came outis the game still focused around farming for progression? did it get more reasonable to ignore mukbanging for stat grinds?

>eat travel rations>have bad stats>start growing mushrooms because /v/ said so>have bad statsI was memed
>>737791790Nobody says to grow mushrooms for stats. You grow mushrooms for bait which results in money, fish with actually good stats, statues, coins, etc.
I think having to get trained to level up skills SUCKS
>>737791790I remember this nigger was going into year four still eating grass
>>737791993i think it only sucks because like a lot of things in this game, if you were to disregard metagaming like using wiki, you'd be wandering around lost and wasting your time so much.i think it's fine that classes and races start with skills and an inherent lack of others, whilst being as the game is essentially an infinite sandbox, you CAN go tag every skill eventually. plus... its balanced like complete shit of course. just say goodbye to half your dungeon loot for example, as there's no way you'll keep your lockpicking skill up to pace.
>>737791993Your first character is going to be bad if you're playing blind. You need to learn to accept this.
>>737792408i have never had a dungeon chest that i couldn't pickjust craft a couple training chests
>>737791905You get a better yield for bait via the food arrow decomposition for corpses method
>>737792571It's easy to keep up with the curve early on. It becomes a pain in the ass as you start pushing deep in the Void.That's one of the problems with the game in general right now. There is no way to efficiently level skills beyond a certain point so most of your skill levels come from equipment. You don't pick complex end-game locks by training your lockpicking, you get the necessary skill levels with a lockpicking equipment set. Hopefully supplementary skill leveling system are added later.
can I kill everything in the game
>>737792571You are clearly not pushing deeper into difficult nefia then. I have to have a lockpicking set on me at all times to keybind hotswap with on a moment.
So how do you exactly raise your stats faster? I've been playing a little under 30 hours and I've been grinding mushrooms -> fish -> cook fish and put bonito flakes on or turn bonito flakes into wine for like the last 10 hours and haven't made much progress. I did get a cyclops and carbuncle though so I'm a little unsure what to do now
>>737796873Does bonito flake wine even work anymore?
>>737796873Increase potentials. Potentials are a multiplier on EXP rate.Pay attention to what food you eat, and shell out platinum coins to trainers.
>>737785729don't forget like 3 races (centaur,vampire,slime)>>737787324noa added a baby potion to the blonde witch in myselia that lets you suck tiddiesalso if you worship horome you can just suck tiddies whenever you want from whoever you want because if they say no it's religious intolerance or something
>>737796873basically, you need to decide on which stats you want to focus on. I'd recommend an attack stat (DEX/STR/PER/MAG), END and maybe WIL and/or CHA.Then you start breeding shrooms, keep them apart. You want to raise base level shrooms until you get seeds that raise each of these stats' potentials (so a STR potential seed, a END potential seed, etc). Then you raise small patches of these shrooms (I do 5x5 patches), grinding the farming skill until they get +X potential lvl 7. (At around farming skill 35-40)Next you want a cooking pot or a cauldron. Grind cooking until level 12 or so until you learn the vegetable soup recipe. It should use 3 types of vegetables in it plus one kind of meat. Now you can use any of these shrooms are a vegetable, meaning you can have a food with three of these super shrooms. You then mix and match the shrooms as desired. Once you have more skill levels on cooking, you can start mixing bones + bones on the grinder for bone powder. Make an oven, use this bone powder to make bread. Hammer the bread to get back a random type of flour. You can do this on repeat to learn new bread recipes until you learn soft and fluffy bread that can use something like one meats and 2 cheeses.At this point, you capture/buy a dodo. Level 1 monster, real easy to find. THEN you recruit someone capable of reviving others (like a bartender). You bring both of them to your house as citizens. You kill the dodo, get it's meat, pay the 20 or so money to revive it since it's lvl 1 ergo real fucking cheap, you rinse and repeat for infinite meat glitch.You use the grinder to turn the meat into kibbles (mix it with bark), then you put it on a cheese board to make kibble meat.Now you have a bread capable of having 3 or 4 times the effect of the doddo meat (strength exp like +30 or something ridiculous.)THEN you advance the plot until you unlock the item printer NPC and have him clone this uber food.
>>737785729>>A whole system for getting women to breastfeed you
>>737797137>if you worship horome you can just suck tiddies whenever you want from whoever you want because if they say no it's religious intolerance or somethingWhy can't that be a real religion
>>737782516First time I played I was lost too. I ended up hanging myself instead of hanging some other tard.Pretty fun.
i last played in july of 2025what's changed since?
>>737796873Early on your stat growth is going to suck because you don't have any good recipes and you don't have your farms set up. You're legitimately better off checking innkeepers/butchers/bakers/etc every time you stop by a town and buying out their stock of decent food(you can find some pretty good stuff with level 10+ stat traits even very early in the game.)Once you get the Gourmet feats and you get access to recipes with 3+ good ingredients is when you can start min/maxing your cooking for stat gains.
>>737783808>6h no responseso yes?
>>737798702Food is where most of your stat exp comes from. There's also a mod that gives you more exp from combat but it's pretty broken so you have to drop the numbers down if you want anything resembling balanced progression.

I can't get used to using the mouse for so many actions, coming from Elona.

I'm waiting for 1.0, I just know I might end up playing this game for the rest of my life
>>737781969Technically, no, it's not a game. Don't you dare ask me for the definition.
I haven't kept up with the Japanese community of autism builders and now the tech theyre using is like insane level if minmaxxing visuals like using three chairs and rope and a pole to make one single windowElin was fun for 400 hours but now it just feels so pointlessmeaningless grind for big stats for...?making autismo builds for...?at least the Elin with AI mod is funidk bros maybe im too old.gonna do a nethack run instead
>>737807097old roguelikes did item destruction and rusting so it must be good
>>737808745>at least the Elin with AI mod is funWhich mod?
>>737807097Is this your first time playing a game with item destruction? It's a pretty common mechanic in games like these. The point is to encourage preparation, carefulness and prioritizing. If you're paying attention you can clear through dozens of nefias before you need to craft more blankets. If you're playing on autopilot a single stray enemy can burn through dozens of charges.
>>737797137i wish i could go back to worshiping horomebut my chaos shape speed reductions also affect my symbiote
>>737783808You can play as a vampire now and suck blood instead of farming. Your followers will be weaker than normal since you aren't feeding them good ass food, however.

>>737820147Nigga its a true roguelike RPG, its near infinitely replayable as it is, content keeps coming and fairly certain there's already a decent modding communityMakes a lot more sense than the guy who has over 1k hours in dark souls 1
>>737819643nta but what the fuck else am i going to play? name another rpg that has as much freedomhell i can't even think of another one that just lets me make money to buy gear by playing music, let alone lets me marry a giant robot and ride them around underwater to grab materials to make a special water breathing torch etc
>>737820147Every single new race added after launch has had a niche unique enough to feel distinctly different.
i go back to this game every 6 months
>>737821593same
It's a shame that the main game is about building a base and growing mushrooms, it literally takes thousands of hours, and without food you can't improve your stats. I'd like the game to be about exploring the world and not be Stardew Valley.
>>737822001Play Elona then.
>>737822001i mean you only really need crazy high stats if you want to like see how deep into void you can go
Everytime I want to play Elin I autistically scramble back to E+, because I didn't unlock South Tyris yet

>>737785729Amazing, Japs are simply build different
>>737823246bro you could die before the game finishes
>>737825024Well then he doesn't have to worry about it
>>737825024good. I hope soI already played it a bit anyway and moved on. i can die knowing i experienced some of elin
>>737808373I was gonna wait for some new ai since what we had was really ass. But then we never got a good new ai. Also never got the sex update.
>Play slime>Use devour on a Mother>End up playing better succWho balances this shit?
>>737827135yeah they're pretty much the most busted race, tho i think that's just mostly because there's a lot of cool shit npcs have that the players normally can't get like infinite cast spells
>>737797137Holy based
Welcome backy
why are vampires so weak in this game btw
>>737829587Git gud
>>737809426find something fast with big tiddies to suck for you to ride
>>737829587Because you went into it thinking you were gonna get cool Hellsing vampires instead of lame Oblivion vampires.
>>737830382fuck
>>737827135I don't think balance is a concern, and that's a good thing.
I just installed this a couple of days ago and it looks fun but it's impossible to play this with permadeath while going blind. A pig killed me at the very beginning (I was a mage), I decided to with a warrior next, and after making sure I took things slowly I went to the puppy cave and everything was going smoothly, I even spent like 500 coins on potions. Second floor and the retarded little girl decides to charge towards a group of like 5 enemies and she got instakilled despite my efforts to throw potions at her.
>>737829587wdym, they get to turn into a fairy for free, and once you get a set of scale gear you can just ignore the sun
>>737832551Elona and Elin are definitely not built for permadeath by default. It's merely an option.
>Played 200 hours of this when it released initially on steam.>Every attempt to get back into it since then has ended with me staring at the screen, getting overwhelmed over nothing and quitting.Fug.Also did ACTUAL alchemy and blacksmithing ever get added?
Have the tentcheats been BTFO yet?I spent so much time gardening properly.
>>737809475
>>737832551Permadeath on a game like this is utterly fucking stupid. There are invisible landmines that instantly kill you, and the only way to train your trap detection skill is to spot them before they instantly kill you; and accidentally picking up something super heavy and clicking anywhere also instantly kills you. Oh yeah and even if you've spotted a mine or a trap your character will gladly step on it unless you micromanage where they step.
>>737809662that's a man
>>737832661>AlchemyYes but it’s pretty barebones since potions don’t scale at all. That said, it still enables some of the most powerful potions in the game like gene potions or egg laying potions.>BlacksmithingIf you mean weapon crafting and shit, then no he doesn’t like crafting. You can still do some funny things with Garokk’s Hammer and reconstruction scroll though.
>>737832661uhh you can make potions with an alchemy tool now apparently but i haven't tried yet, i don't think there's any new blacksmithing stuff but there's crafting runes stuff now for moving enchants on gear
>>737833113>accidentally picking up something super heavy and clicking anywhere also instantly kills youthis almost happened to me too. It seems like a cool game, I will play again when it leaves early access and I won't paly with permadeath
>>737832882based
>>737833140that makes it better
>>737832661>Also did ACTUAL alchemy and blacksmithing ever get added?no, but HAMMER alchemy is still strong despite the nerfs
What's the best way to handle feeding your party? I've got my cooking maxed, but needing to manually hand off the correct stat food to each of my 4 party members every 3 days is so damn tedious
>>737834832iirc if you just set your cooler on your character to shared and put cooked food in there your party will take from it automatically, not 100% on that tho
>>737834832i don't know, i only have my pocket fairy onahole-shoulder turret that i don't feed because it doesn't die of starvation
>>737834961bro.. eating food raises their stats..
>>737834832i just fill a bag with food and share it
>>737834832just jam their inventories with food. Food on party members' inventory doesn't rot.
>>737834832If you want to minmax it then no, there's not really a better way. If you're fine with "good enough" then recruit an innkeeper and invest massive amounts of money into them so they start selling you food that's decent enough so you don't have to spend ages cooking.
>>737835027i know, but i'm raising my stats first
>>737782516Number go up.Music quests are the way to go for quick and easy platty early game.Then you go to the casino and pick up some monster balls to catch dodos by playing basketball.Then you cycle through the G*DS with dodo corpses (pipes for Mani).
What's this game about? What do you do?
>>737836256At least buy foods from the merchants.They can sell some pretty decent stuff, like +9/10 str.Personally I run a lunchbox farm. Yeah I got all sorts of people making me lunch, on the reg.
>>737781518should of played it like a mouth harp
>>7378366462d turn based (but in a grimrock/old dungeoncrawler style where everything moves with every action you take) sandbox rpg with a main story quest, fighting (melee/ranged/magic/summon/etc) and non-fighting stuff you can do like music or fishing, base building and party management mechanics, crafting, dungeons, unfinished thostrange lore to justify mechanics like everyone being able to lay eggs and lactate, even pic
>>737816998I need to get back to it... I haven't played it for like 5 months now
>>737836646it's about learning, painfully, the futility of an adventurer's life, and instead discovering the thrill of frontier development and collecting decorative little sprite doohickies to beautify your lands.
>>737836646You cultivate. Start as a broke hobo and work(eat) your way up to a God with your own castle or city. If you played Kenshi it's kinda similar concept
How much music level do you actually need in order to be able to complete the low fame music jobs? I've always been too afraid/lazy to invest plat and time in music.
>>737837054>>737837253>>737837415Ok, thanks. I don't buy early access games but i'll give the demo a go.
>>737837480really not that much, im pretty sure you can do the ones that ask for like 150 points as like a golem musician from the start, also depends a lot on who you get in your audience, just put a little bit of plat in and get like 5 or 10 maybe
>>737837054>strange lore to justify mechanicshead canon, the game's setting has standard biology, the humans aren't actually laying eggs that birth elders
This game's community sucks. It's just a bunch of Fortnite zoomers that want to break the game rather than play it normally. They'll find anything to take shortcuts and even use mods to automate everything. At that point you might as well play Clash Royale since you'd at least be playing something in your generation instead of trying to champion a game that is a corpse taken over by Unity, much like ZSNES.
I had so much fun during launch and the following weeks with everyone, put in 400 hours and all, but I haven't been able to bring myself to get back into it since then because of the crafting monolith and glacial pace. Like why would I go back when + Custom-GX is right there with none of those headaches? Didn't enjoy my first two saves getting randomly corrupted and the chinkgates either.
>>737838136>that want to break the game rather than play it normallyanon no one played this game normally even back when it was elona, this is not a zoomer thing you are just retarded
>>737838136i mean yeah west zoomies and chinese people are going to be using all the cheatmods, i don't like using mods but i'll absolutely savescum here and there
>>737838205my favorite genre>break the game, I dare you, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU
>>737838205>no one played Elonafixed it for you
>>737837480Lowest level of quest you can get by with like 5. You'll qucikly get to the point where you can do the 300-500 point quests. Beyond that it's quite a bit harder.You don't invest plat in music ever, except to unlock it. The skill levels itself.Magic Map helps a lot, best simple strat is find a harp room, stand there and play an instrument. Tick "Play music until you stop" in character settings.Music is a platty machine, it gives a ridiculous amount.
>>737838298mods are great. not every mod is a cheat mod, but you have to curate carefully.
>>737839268There's no way I am ever not using automine etc.You need so much goddamn ore.
>>737832637mount bonuses don't apply to symbiotesspeed penalties have full effect on symbiotes and speed bonuses have half effect, so worshiping speed slut is essentially required until i get enough good speed rings to negate the losses
>>737808373I used to make my own sprites/pccs, but once I started learning how to add adventurers to the game I realized I was doing more of that than actually playing the game.
maybe this thread will have a quick death instead of being on page 10 for 4 days straight
>>737839710where do I start to learn how to add custom adventurers? I haven't really figured out the mod scene yet, but adding characters I have from other saves as custom adventurers in my main save sounds like a cool idea
>>737840196For some reason the fucking guide got removed from the modding wiki, so my recommendation would be to install a mod with a variety of custom adventurers and working backwards from what they've made to familiarize yourself with the system. You can check the mod you've installed via the mod viewer in-game to pull open the content folders of the mod. The major parts are adding your characters to a SourceCard excel sheet with the appropriate inputs to 'code' your NPC, and adding separate image files for their portraits and sprites in separate folders. You can also add dialogue for them to say in another excel sheet if you wanna go that far. The wiki does have a list of keywords that you'll want as a reference when messing with the SourceCard sheet, so doesn't hurt to look through there too.
>>737841325>For some reason the fucking guide got removed from the modding wikimight explain why I was having trouble finding info on it I guess, it doesn't sound too difficult I'm assuming its just a matter of figuring out the proper syntaxes, I'll give the backwards approach a try then thanks anonI may end up going down the same path you went on if this ends up working out
>>737834832Bulk cooking and filling their inventory with the food they want usually works.
>>737840069no
>>737837946>the humans aren't actually laying eggs that birth elderswhy not
>>737827135>balanceIt was already nerfed once and it's intentionally overpowered right now because it's the only race that has access to gene manipulation for the player.
>>737822001You're greatly exaggerating how much time is spent on farming. That shit is literally automated once you set it up and it takes a fucking month for a single batch to grow, be harvested and replanted.
>>737827135>Play snail>Pass a jannie>dieWho balances this shit?
>>737846071If you're abusing delegation and watering I think it's 3 times a month but you don't have to replant.The real annoyance is the absolute mass of slightly distinct seeds.
>>737838205Honestly? It's day and night. In the before times of vanilla Elona, people cared about understanding the game, learning its mechanics, and manipulating the system to breaking point. There was a spirit of curiosity, discovery and willingness to experiment.None of that these days. They just want prepackaged answers as to what's the "best", from food to weapons to companions, not that those answers even exist to begin with. A bunch of intellectually lazy creatures whose first instinct is to cheat away any problem instead of solving it. Harmless enough in Vidya, but then these attitudes get ported over to real life.>>737848173If you let delegated replant it doesn't matter as you will never handle seeds.
welcome backy
>>737848173>If you're abusing delegation and watering I think it's 3 times a month but you don't have to replant.You're not getting three crops per month. Almost everything you'd use in food take 20 days to grow. Delegated farming has a standardized five day wait time between growth and harvest. The only notable exception is Mushrooms which grow in a single day but those aren't really relevant unless you're the type of person who actively enjoys Harvest Moon gameplay; most people just grow them early on because it's decent passive bait generation.>The real annoyance is the absolute mass of slightly distinct seeds.Eh, delegated farming doesn't have a problem with seeds because there's no excess and if you're manually farming you just toss out the lowest level stuff each time.
Playing Vampire was cool for the first few hours, needing to go into bat form during the day and to travel, while being able to be a super strong warrior by night. But it very quickly becomes a test of patience constantly needing to do it since a "run" should easily be at least 20+ hours. The answer is obviously just to worship Itzpal, but that is basically just the player being forced into which god they have to select for their race, while also just losing 90% of the races flavor.Really wish there was just a way to auto toggle turning bat-mode on and off depending on time of day and location, with a pop-up if someone will see you commit the crime of transforming. I have had more deaths from walking out of a dungeon while forgetting to turn bat-mode on, then any real deaths on my other characters.
>>737848412>it doesn't matter as you will never handle seedsYou will when raising a fresh crop and I'm a bit too cautious because I usually end up fucking up if I'm on a low crop count like 1 per stat seeding to spread through delegation.

>>737796873You need to make good food to get good stat growth. Start a farm (get seeds by doing harvest quests & reaping the excess crops you don't need to turn in, keep reaping the seeds until they reach a high enough level and give you fat stat potency boosts), get a fridge, go hunt good meat (dragon meat is what you want, but dodo meat is suitable in the early game or if you don't need strength), level up your cooking until you can make better food, use a hammer to dismantle food you purchase if you need to learn a recipe, cook obscenely powerful food, give a certain character some of that food so he can duplicate it, and before you know it your character will be a god amongst men.It's a process, but stick to it and your stats will start going up a lot faster. The wiki has an entire page dedicated to optimized stat-boosting recipes. You'll figure it out.

Has anyone figured out how to cast the Flare spells? They're apparently 3x3 AoE spells for each element that don't come from spellbooks, but I haven't been able to find any rods that can cast them either. The Living Mana Battery ether disease symptom can let you drain rods of their charges to get spell stocks, but this isn't helpful when the damn rods won't show up.

Is the only way to get seeds with the stat potency boost you want repeatedly farming the same crop repeatedly until you get lucky? I know it's early access I'm genuinely asking if there's a better way.
>>737860314You can do a sort of multi level thing, it just takes some work and money, and doesn't really look all that great to start with>have owned land>get stairs>go up stairs, make sure to bring flooring just in case>claim the land up the stairs>make it feel like a second floor, use flooring to expand the area you can move inIt basically lets you mimic the way that Seeker's Keep is set up so you have a second floor to your base, though it counts as a separate area entirely.
>>737860582>He plans on reintroducing it later but it's going to be pretty low priority for a while.cool, at least you can make some fun stuff with raising levels with the build board for now
>>737861242oh wild wtf i never saw anyone mention this
>>737861119Once a stat boost is on a seed, it will only improve that strain. Only from a +0 seed can you roll a different strain. You can also mix a seed with any strain with mercury at a wooden mortar. This will generate a new random strain at the cost of some seed levels.I hope this is understandable.
>>737861327I hadn't tried it out before this instance of doing it, but had found a few sets of stairs in dungeon drops and wondered if it would work. If you have more stairs on the first level to go up with it will add a new set to go back down in the "second floor" area as well. Going to try adding a third floor to see what happens.
>>737782740Perhaps you can make Elin threads by framing them in a twitter screenshot..?
>>737860828You're in a way better spot (in terms of base stats at least) than I am at 2112 days, anon. Good work! Once you get a couple nice pieces of gear from deeper nefias, you'll be extremely strong.

>>737861446Just tried with stairs I made myself, looks like it has to be a stairway specifically which doesn't seem to have a craft recipe. Not sure if the stairways dropping as an item is something that the game is supposed to let happen, or if it's a weird mod interaction. But it seems like if you can find stairways you should be able to do some interesting things.
>>737861624it's basically just skyrim, aside from the main quest being incomplete you basically just choose to either follow the main quest or fuck around doing whatever you want like progressing your character or whatever other goal you want

bread?
>>737871230What are your issues with the UI?
>>737797531None of this is neccessary. You just invest in merchants and buy good food from them.
>>737782516>>737871230A big componant of Elona/Elin is that 99% of the game is just a knowledge check. Knowing that X happens or Y does Z and that's why you need to go do W by V prevents almost all sore spots. But you only get that knowledge by stepping on a rake for 10-20+ hours or pouring over the wiki/threads until you know all of the minutia. The minute-to-minute gameplay then feels very shit and you are often punished heavily for exploration.You're just constantly running into situations where things will kill you in a single shot, or give you debilitating mutations or fuck up quests or require exorbitant funds etc. Luckily the homesteading is kind of neat, and building up your base is something this game does better than most. The actual adventuring is kind of ass though. I think that's the most comparable aspect to CDDA but the adventuring in the game explicitly isn't ass, it is also a huge knowledge check though. So I guess the only thing I can promise is that it does "eventually" click.
>>737871230you can customise the entire ui tho
>>737838136>its "fortnite zoomers" minmaxing in my Japanese grinding game, damn them!Lol....how out of touch with reality do you have to be to think this?
>>737866920Anon what if I told you it doesn't? What if I told you that you just don't really understand it, so it's extra difficult for you? That there are swathes of people where it doesn't take "thousands of hours" to figure out to use blankets and eat good food and how to get it?
>>737872226Just to get level 14 seeds you will need more than 400 hours, and another 400 hours for cooking.
kumiromi sex
>>737872334You most definitely do not need 800 hours for good food. You're also not interacting with those mechanics for that amount of time, in fact most of the time it's something happening in the background while you're doing something else because once you understand how to improve a seed that's basically it. You just repeat the process as needed.
>>737872334just get lucky bro. A single piece of equipment dropped is like hours of farming.
>built a new PC and lost my saveIt's over...maybe I'll pick it up again when the game is done or atleast close to being done.
>>737871723>I got filtered hard so I'm going to pretend like the game is at faultI went into Elona(not Elona+; basic ass rape you every five seconds default Elona) and had a general grasp of the game in a single play session. I didn't find it particularly difficult but I could tell it was going to be far more grindy than I'd like to I made the switch to Elona+.Knowledge does take you far but to call the entire game a "knowledge check" is objectively false. You could make this argument if the game was designed as a roguelike but it isn't. You will die and that's perfectly fine. You get a generous penalty-free period at the start of the game for a reason. If you play for hours and still haven't figured anything out that's not the game's problem, that's on you for being a retard incapable of experimenting.
>>737781518>play a pair of silk panties like a violinIs there something like elin that isn't lolsorandum xD slop?
>>737873006>>I got filtered hard so I'm going to pretend like the game is at faultAnon I have 500 hours, I just struggled a lot early on despite also having a shitload of time in elona. I think you misunderstood my post.
>>737873041What a bizarre thing to get annoyed by.
Do the player races still all have the same sprite?
>>737873123That kind of stuff is prevalent throughout the game. It's an understandable pain point. There has to be a way for japanese to feel like they can express themselves without stooping to this level of comedic perversion. It's not titilating or interesting, it's the japanese dev equivalent to a child in elementary school picking his nose visibly on purpose for attention.
This game is fine, but it is definitely a 'wiki game', in that you cannot discover critical game knowledge by just playing it, unless you are incredibly lucky, clever, or unnaturally thorough and playing it like QA.
>>737873202It's not a 'pain point', the whimsical japanese weirdness is part of the Elona series and what the dev is known for. It's what the fans come back for. There are plenty of generic serious games. This isn't one of them.
>>737873284>the whimsical japanese weirdness is part of the Elona series and what the dev is known forYeah it's a boring character trait maybe only endearing to weirdos and other japanese.>It's what the fans come back for.Absolutely not, lmao. I play elin because there is a pretty big drought of games with this depth but I'm not going to champion Noa as anything other than an eccentric weirdo with a good idea.
>>737873215>you cannot discover critical game knowledge by just playing itSure you can. All of the most important things are very intuitive and you'll learn them naturally as you play the game.
>>737782740>posters shit themselves in angerMarketers throwing a melty that the slop they paid to shill got swept away by organic vidya discussion.>>737784121Like this cowadoody fag

>>737873483>>737873501>haha bro it's funny and quirkyAin't nobody laughing. You could zap this shit out of the game overnight and 99% of the playerbase wouldn't bat a fucking eye dudes.
>>737873521Completely and utterly clueless. Half the reason the game even spread so much through word of mouth is because of all the absurd screenshots people posted about the game.
>>737873041there are a lot of traditional and non-traditional rogue-likes, but i don't know many with the same kinda sandbox-y and open ended elements. that isometric zombie survival game, perhaps? and CDDA maybe (never played it)for more traditional, i like TOME. it has very diablo-like itemization and an MMORPG-like skill bar system instead of the typical "bumping" combat (but thats also the reason a lot of people dont like TOME and find it bloated compared to something very traditional like DCSS)
>>737873521I laughed at it - it's strange, it's quirky, and that's what makes it entertaining. You, however, just sound bitter, and admit to entertaining the the idea of removing something because it doesn't appeal to your sense of humor. When presented with honest mirthfulness, and sincerity, you recoil, and scowl - you're a pretentious curmudgeon, that drags down everybody around you.
>>737873590>>737873754The game spread because it's a good roguelike with a functional GUI. That's remarkably rare in todays age. It's either ASCII bullshit alongside ocean depth or half-decent graphics and then shallow as piss puddle gameplay. It's fine if you like the weird stuff, life your life. But it adds nothing of substance to the game. I don't want it removed, but I do know the game would have less of a taboo element to it if it was gone. The people in this thread even who insist upon it would either mod it back in or keep playing without it. The people it put off would likely play it if it wasn't in the game. It seems like a win-win.
>>737873483A silly thing here and there is nice. When your entire game is just a shitpost it loses all novelty.
>>737873808>The game spread because it's a good roguelike with a functional GUI.And because it's full of absurd shit. I personally don't like most roguelikes and the reason why I gave Elona chance had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that people were calling it a good game.
>>737873808>less of a taboo element to it if it was gone.Nah, the conversation was about panty instruments being cringe, not the TABOO NATURE of the game, don't try to change the topic.
>>737873041Elona/Elin is just japanese ADOM, maybe check it out.But I also don't get your problem with it, lighten up.
>>737873997>>737873991? They are cringe, objectively. It's taboo to add cringe pervert comedy shit to your game, objectively. That's why it's basically nonexistant outside of japanese media, where it's the only way they can express those kinds of elements of their personalities/humor/whatever without getting crucified. If you like it, that's fine, again your life. But it indisputably marks you as a weirdo, and if the main reason you're playing the game is for surface level sex comedy then you're boring and an outlier for a reason.
>objectivelyIt was obvious before but now you're being too blatant.
>>737874257Don't be a coward, it's just another weirdo trait to add to the pile.
>Literally advocating for the removal of content in pursuit of a wider audienceyeah, he's trolling.

>>737873215You can absolutely do it. Even discounting >>737873378 there are at this point about 30 informational books in the game, and even a dedicated vendor in the starter town who sells them all for 1 gold. Townspeople do give genuine tips if you talk to them. The game has a 90 day grace period to experiment. The game goes so far as to dump important books about vampires and spellcasting into one's starting equipment for the appropriate races and classes.The intellectual laziness of people is infinite.

Is pickpocketing worth it/a viable way to make consistent money past the early game? I save scummed some low level pickpocketing on my "late-game" warrior character and the results seemed too meh to justify an actual thief run/character.
>>737881075no
>>737881075Unless it's been patched there was a way to get ridiculously powerful/valuable equipment by pickpocketing high level companions in war requests but unfortunately outside of that it's way too difficult to use as a means of regularly stealing items from NPCs. Hopefully that gets changed at some point because it's pretty retarded that your character will abruptly stop trying to steal shit from some murder demon in the void just because they call for guards who don't exist.There are probably a handful of relatively high level NPCs that are good for pickpocketing if you can catch them sleeping in the early game but I doubt even they would have much value in the long run since you can pretty easily get hundreds of thousands of orens worth of equipment to ship off once you start clearing through the void.
>>737881075Pickpocketing needs so much to work from early game and this goes all the way to late game since it requires a bunch of other stats to steal shit you really want.Some NPC's have exclusive stuff tied to them that you can try to pickpocket I think though.
