I've played like a gajillion hours but never got to fight the fake merchant
>>740240259They don't show up in multiplayer, which is like half of my playtime, so I've only seen them like twice.
How do you fight him?
>>740240259This game almost made me break up with my online girl best friendIt's addictive, and I'm just a midwit muttmerican. Got my first win with Defect and almost came.
>>740240259Me too, any time I save up some foul potions, I just don't meet him
>>740240981you get a foul potion from that one event and then you hope you'll get the fake shopkeeper event in the same run and then throw a foul potion at him to start the fight
>>740240259>HOAX!!Bravo Kojima
I'm thinking that very hot cocoa is better than brightest flame since I'm playing silent
>>740241143>break up with my online girl best friendyou will never lose your virginity
>>740241464What? No, that just gives you 300 gold per foul potion.
>>740242083Eh hot cocoa is better on silent than anyone else (read: actually useful) but brightest flame comes with draw and can be upgraded.
>>740242083I'm a 0 ascension shitter, so far my impression of the game has been that the first turn is usually the most important so I feel like cocoa is nuts compared to the rest of the stuff she offers.
>>740242265That's for the real shopkeeper.the fake one will fight you.

>>740242509No, the fake one gives you 300 gold per potion because the bottles are for him.
>>740242636actually if you manage to drink a foul potion while throwing it at him at the same time you'll unlock the fake merchant as a playable character

>>740255390it was a nice try
>>740255919I fucking hate Aeon into Lizard, especially in multiplayer. You can't have slow deck in multiplayer against that stupid fucking lizard.We should have whipped Ironclad into building full aggro deck
>>740242083>>740242454Cocoa is good if you have bag of prep or playing Silent. Otherwise you need a lot of RNG to draw your expensive cards. Flame is only good if you took the Cheese.
>>740240981You dont, its fake
>>740240259I don't know what this deck was or how I even won. I couldn't do anything until Act 3. Got lucky with a fake merchant fight just before a shop. But I kept getting a whole lot of Block per turn thanks to a Regalite purchase that I overlooked. While fighting the Test Subject, Hidden Gem+ hit the Forge and then it hit the Falling Star.
>>740253478GG fun run
gg bros didnt do jack shit aside from the giga malaise
>>740253354I make sure I count the ratio between damage cards and block cards. Then I take note of other cards like powers, scaling stuff, and de-buffs. If you have such a huge deck, you will have a hard time drawing your cards to get online. If it ever happens to be at the bottom of your deck, you had better have huge draw or block.
>>740258573Malaiser+ carried the run bro
>>740253198Okay. I'm going to admit something. I'm going to bare my very soul to you. I have been one of the foremost snakebite HATERS in this thread since day 0. I have argued VEHEMENTLY against this card. But after this run... I don't - I can't stop myself. My legs, my knees, they're moving on their own...Snakechads, I was cruel to you. I was capricious and combative. I didn't listen, I refused to listen. I hope - I pray, that you will find it among the wealth of compassion in your hearts, snakebros, and within the wisdom in your minds, snakefriends, to accept me among you, born anew and baptised in venom, to walk among you as a snakeChad.My legs are straining. My knees are bending. I cannot stop it. I kneel, snakeGODS. I unironically thought it was bad, but not unplayable. Now I think it's fine.
any multiplayers going?
>>740258826I hate the new Prism and Aeonglass so fucking much bros.
I did it on my first ever run with necrobinder.Turned a really easy low energy cost deck into a challenge because of confuse and had to pivot the deck late into heavy cost cards
>>740259141I hate prism more.I actively avoid a2 elites just because of him.I refuse to not make a skill based deck.Glass just needs some tuning.
>>740259141With some builds I find myself just avoiding a2 elites now because I know prism will fuck me up.>>740259238Glass is still the bigger nigger. Even with a deck built to counter him he just hits so fucking hard that he always chunks me for at least half my hp.
>>740259382>Even with a deck built to counter him he just hits so fucking hard that he always chunks me for at least half my hpYep, he def needs some tuning in terms of his power scaling and maybe artifact stuff, but the mechanic is fine.Dorito just kills if you don't build around him, which is too much for an elite.
>>740259382no block on turn 1? haha eat this 25-30 damagedid you just draw all your multi-hit attack cards? enjoy this -3 STR and -3 DEX :)
>>740259486I agree aeon's mechanic is fine. The problem is that outside of his mechanic, he does everything. He hits super hard for the first two turns. He has artifact and kind of a lot of it, so you can't mitigate the damage with weaken or rush him down with vulnerable. He nerfs your str and dex which doubles up on the previous issue. Did I mention he rapes you with his regular attacks? Get rid of the artifact and nerf his damage a LITTLE and I think he's in a good spot. Even when doormaker was eating cards just because you drew them, I didn't think he was too difficult, but aeonglass is crazy. When I beat him quick I feel like I got lucky, not like I executed a good deck build.>>740259754Yeah, it's too many things.
I liked the first version of aeonglass so much more, the whole retain mechanic on the withers slowly filling your hand unless you decide to spend energy on removing them felt unique and interestingI hope the patch today changes it a bunch cause current aeonglass is just boring to face
Is modded multiplayer going to be a thing? Imagine perma prismatic card rewards
>>740259861I don't really understand why they got rid of doormaker, I actually enjoyed the fight once I figured it out.Glass is much more annoying and less interesting.
>>740259948I think it already is, everyone has to have the exact same mods installed.
>>740259995I'd find it disappointing if it were the case, but I really think they bowed to popular opinion. Playtesting during sts1 had a much smaller and less bitchy pool of testers.
>>740259948I believe it is a thing, just depends on the host?I have mods which mention this.

>>740260419>brightest flame + chosen cheeseI'm fucking invincible
>>740259995doormaker v1 was too simple and doormaker v2 was too complex (but actually still the easiest act 3 boss) so they trashed it and started over. I wouldn't be surprised if they bring him back for act 4 where a higher complexity boss isn't so out of place.
>>740260536>cashgrab made to milk indie loving retards>good game

>>740258826The level of pure, unfiltered rage that implying >snakebite is an okay at best damage plan that you pick to solve elites and bosses while you figure out your deckcaused has to be studied. It wasn't normalBut I forgive you
>>740260159why would you not just go perfected strike and 1 shot the boss
>>740261731I would need over 100 Perfected Strikes for that to be good.
>>740261731While admittedly making it harder to draw, cloning Pommel Strike still scales Perfected.
this biweekly patch cycle is the start of the end.
I was disappointed I couldn't afford the fan in the shop.But anyway this is the first intangible phase and the animation of my hellraiser pommel strikes just finished.
>>740262357I wish I could say I took Second Wind specifically to counter Aeonglass in combination with the Joss Paper, but I didn't realize I had the perfect counter to his ass.
>>7402619727 rests gets you that
>>740262593Fun idea, but I ended up with the downgrade 2 upgrade 4 event so I had to upgrade my hellraiser twice.
>>740261674I blame ecelbs for the whole thing. Some guy made a day 1 tier list before really playing the game enough to have opinions and said it was the worst card and unpickable. It's not the attack common you want but sometimes you just need some damage.

>Get rare card and decide to go for a deck that synergizes with it>No matching cards come out for the rest of the arc>Get perfect synergizing deck>You draw an extremely unlikely bad hand for multiple turns during an elite fight, you dedFuck my life
>>740253198I still don't understand Snakebite. Isn't just a slightly inferior Bouncing Flask that is single target? I don't get it's strengths compared to just playing one or two Deadly Poisons. I also don't understand the Retain. Is it for elite or boss fights when you can safely play it on non-attack turns?
>>740264049>Is it for elite or boss fights when you can safely play it on non-attack turns?yeah. Plus silent has a few ways to play it for free. If you would play two strikes, snakebite is better.
>>740264049>I also don't understand the Retain. Is it for elite or boss fights when you can safely play it on non-attack turns?That's pretty much it.It's 7/10 damage, possibly 13/19 if you can defend the turn after it does its next attack.18/27 if you have great defense.
kinda feeling some type of way
>>740264423>Glass him
>>740264049Retain is deceptively valuable. Makes it easier to play it, makes it easier to combo it, you don't redraw it until you play it (and instead you draw your other more valuable cards).Would you rather have an 11 card deck with two deadly poisons, or a 10 card deck with one snakebite?

>>740267003hopefully it's because they're working on the alternate act 2 which'll be a whole bunch of content being added at one time.
>>740267003>>740267887They said they didn't want to do anything big before a live patch, so I have copium it's because the big Act 2 patch is coming next month.Given it's 3 months since launch, it would fit for a smooth schedule (month 4 introduce alternate act 2, month 8 introduce alternate act 3, month 12, secret act 4 with full release)
>>740268069>because the big Act 2 patch is coming next monthI actually think it's happening this month. I think it will be gremlin/demon themed. Recurring characters from STS1 will be there. I am huffing copium. This patch was so lame.

How the FUCK does anyone play defect? What a fucking dogshit character. Even in sts1, I hated him. I'd rather grind ascensions with any other character. He's my last to get to a10 and I just dont think I have the willpower to do it. All of my wins with him are with retardedly broken decks like mummified hand + game piece, or perfect claw decks. 95% of my decks with him suck absolute balls.>build for frost orbs, do 0 damage>build for lightning, get 0 block>build for attacks, die act 2>build for powers, die act 1>build a little of everything, die act 1I just can't stand this little robot fuck. His cards suck, he's not fun, orbs are whack. What the fuck am I missing.
I think the new character will be the Watcher. A lot of people doubted that they were gonna bring back Defect since he was missing in the earlier trailers. But I think they're not gonna totally build a new character from scratch when they already have a foundation. Some of her cards are already in the game as colorless.
combat didn't end for me, rehoststeam://joinlobby/2868840/109775242950332022/76561199486452220
>>740270790Two ancients are missing their timeline arts (every ancient has a solo and then one with a character). Orobas' prismatic gem also shows additional colors.We're definitely getting Watcher and one more.
>>740270704You use Snakebite.But on a more serious note, I think one of the most common and reproducible foundation pieces that can support all of his archetypes are Turbo, Overclock, and Hologram+. Rocket Punch+ completes the combo, even without good exhaust/status removal but is not necessary. If you are playing for orbs, most of the time, you want rapid evoke with high orb churn per turn instead of more orb slots. A single unupgraded Bulk Up can go a long way. In general, without energy cheating, Defect tends to feel pretty undercooked and the status stuff fills in that gap.
gg my ironchads
whera the lobby chunky -______-
>>740270704you are retarded, defect is the easiest character
>>740270704upgrade dualcast first always. get cards that place discarded cards into your hand or top of draw pile (ie Hologram) to get back your 0 cost dualcast.
Remember this game is for BIG DECKS onlyStay filtered thin decklets!Maybe you should stick to some chud crap like sts1
>>740271628Well I usually pick all of those cards nearly every run but I will bear the advice in mind. Thanks anon>>740272538Even if he is easy (which he is and I absolutely just suck at him), he feels like garbage to play except for the highroll decks that borderline play themselves. Every other character just kinda works and decks feel good after just an act and a half. Defect feels like shit even after a win.>>740273087Damn I don't think I've ever purposefully picked dualcast to upgrade. I will try that. I probably am retarded
>>740273256You need 1 energy to play Hologram, or Neow's Torment or whatever, right? When you upgrade dualcast, it costs 0. Otherwise, you would need 2 energy to play both cards. Dualcast is a signature card for Defect, just like Survivor for Silent, and Falling Star for Defect, etc. But unlike Ironclad's Bash or Nec's Unleash, you actually need Dualcast to win.And Hologram is so good. Always have at least 1 of those. It's a high priority upgrade because it removes exhaust. Obviously there might be other cards you want to upgrade before hologram, but it's high up there.I hate that Zap costs 1 energy and that Ball Lightning is instantly better than it at base. And with STS2 you have Lightning Rod as well. It feels like shit to have to burn a rest site just to upgrade Zap, but it can most of the time be beneficial for your run. Sometimes playing a Strike for the immediate damage is better than playing a 1 cost Zap when you know you won't draw the dualcast anymore.
>Falling Star for DefectI meant Regent

What a shit patch
>>740281949why
>>740281159Thanks, trying to look for a defect mod the other day only showed sloppa tier mods, or twitter concept screenshots that were woefully uncomplete and unreleased>>740281617The chinese are never not mad at any game that either make the game more challenging, or nerf obviously unintended overpowered synergies. This goes double for card builders, I don't know why but china goes apeshit for deckbuilder games.We saw this with library of ruina too, anytime a clearly broken (and legitimate bug fixes) strategy got fixed, the chinks lost their shit if it meant the game became more challenging.The chinks will never not be mad at this game as a result.
There's no badge for having a fully upgraded deck, even when you're in ascensions below 5 where Ascender's Bane doesn't permanently clog your deck. Soulless video game desu.
>no Burst, no Outbreak, no Accelerant, no Noxious Fumes, no Bubble Bubble>>win off of a GLAM Deadly Poison and Corrosive WaveDamn. Corrosive Wave is STRONG
>>740281540I SHOULD HAVE USED THE DUPE POT BLADEGODDAMNIT I JUST WANTED TO HOLD IT FOR QUEENWHAT A WASTE OF MY TIMEFUCK
>>740281540The fucking lizard first attack would've raped me, had to throw away all my best cards to survive.No discarding cards either for that, so I was basically fucked...
>>740283146I had no real big way to get Forge besides Smith, though I cannot deny mirror duping the Sown Parry+ did help in the long run for most of the rest of that run in blocking. I had no damage without vuln on anything even with forge
>3 months have passed>no meaningful content like new acts or even a small tease of upcoming characters
>>740283181One thing that screwed me was very few sly cards at the beginning, even less discarding ones.I managed to make it work by the end of act2, but I practically grabbed everything that came to me out of desperation.All the good cards came out by the half of act 2, with only 2 fires and no way to use the meat cleaver...
>>740283256Well, they fucked up the base balance of the game too much and have been spending months fixing it up so it's to be expected.
>>740283269Yeah they need to buff cleaver. You're always getting only 2 fires in Act 3 at a10 no matter what. 3 fires is unreal when it does happen. Meat Cleaver needs to be better for the opportunity cost of taking it over shit like Crossbow or Spiked Gauntlets
>>740283401>You're always getting only 2 fires in Act 3 at a10 no matter what. 3 fires is unreal when it does happen.That's exactly what happened!Removing 3 Strikes and an un-upgraded Defense would've helped A LOT!Still, I wasn't thinking that ALL the useful rare cards for my deck were going to come out right at the end, after act1 and 2 being a complete disappointment...

Demon Form plus Infinite Blades is fun.Shame I found almost no block in my run so Aeon just fucking murdered me turn 8.
Sorry lads, I wasn't strong enough as Ironclad this time...
>>740287526very scuffed run
>>740287526Silent here, sorry for fucking you over.Got a rare poison card and tried to make a poison deck... let's just say that I got the one and only Noxious Fume by half ACT 3...From now on, I'll stick to sly and shiv decks (which were also not drawing out during this run, causing me to say on poison...)
>>740289824Doesn't help that you also ate a few of the tag-teams with some of your attacks, but I won't hold it against you. Not like it's very easy to communicate this stuff, making it that far was impressive in of itself.Also, I almost never take Arcane Scroll for that reason. Playing A10 a ton has taught me that most rares are actually just curses in disguise in act 1.
>>740289948>Doesn't help that you also ate a few of the tag-teams with some of your attacks,Sorry, I was in a panic all the time, I didn't even notice it...>Also, I almost never take Arcane Scroll for that reason. Playing A10 a ton has taught me that most rares are actually just curses in disguise in act 1.Yeah, I learned my lesson now...
>>740287526aieeeeeeeeeeeee, if I got dying star in act 1 maybe we could have saved some fires for smithing instead of healing all the time
>>740290079Well I'm glad that you could learn that, most of the people I know would probably just complain rather than accept the loss as a learning experience. Most.Anyways I might host later, going to take a break for now.
>>740290156It's alright, at least you had your last stand.
>>740289824big problem with poison is that it has zero synergy with anything, all multiplayer support cards only care about attacks, vuln, debilitate (which is almost permanent in multi) doesn't increase damage. So enemies have more than x3 health, but poison deals damage as if they had x3 healthI pulled Sneaky from event and it also had zero synergy with poison while shivs would give me 10+ block every turn.When I play Silent I never go poison in multi, it's just too big of a disadvantage
>>740290890Granted, it's a lot more doable if everyone is playing Silent with at least a little bit of poison between them. Hell, even one other silent with poison can make one silent with poisons do a whole lot more. But if that isn't the case, it's best not too, exact same goes for Doom in 3+ person multiplayer, good if someone else is also doing it, not worth it otherwise.
I hate being shit at this gameHow the fuck are you supposed to beat aeonglass if you aren't offered any mass hand removes or draw pile exhausts or transformsI understand the idea that they counter it and that you're supposed to try to burst it down before the withers get really strong but it basically never seems to shake out like thatI don't know how to get that kind of damage without some total bullshit that the game just handed to you on a silver platter
>>740290991yeah, that's one exception, but people very rarely stack Necro or Silent
>>740290890>big problem with poison is that it has zero synergy with anything, all multiplayer support cards only care about attacks, vuln, debilitate (which is almost permanent in multi) doesn't increase damage. So enemies have more than x3 health, but poison deals damage as if they had x3 healthYeah, I noticed it...>When I play Silent I never go poison in multi, it's just too big of a disadvantageLesson learned: only shivs or sly from now on.>>740290991>Granted, it's a lot more doable if everyone is playing Silent with at least a little bit of poison between them. Yeah, but that requires the Silents to have poisons: what happens if only one has it, and the others don't? You end up like me...
>>740291239that's also why I dislike Defect. He sits in a corner and plays with his balls while everyone else plays as a team
>>740291414That's why you either get fuck tons of focus, or you go status/monkeymode. Orbs defect still does stuff, more than doom/poison on it's own, but not as much as just going full physical.Anyways, hoast.steam://joinlobby/2868840/109775242980943526/76561198043000657

>>740294415and me rolling boulder

>>740292920I think the change is that he doesn't -3 str -3 dex on the turn he does 12x2, which obviously makes it a bit easier but you will still lose on the exact same scenarios you lost before the patch (when you can't play the gay damage race fast enough)I hate this faggot so much I'm unironically happy when I get the queen and experiment.
>>740240259There's an actual merchant fight in StS1: downfall where you get to play as the bosses, but he does like 1 attack, steals your gold, pops panic button and runs away. That was a great mod, even if every boss you play as has insanely complicated mechanics.
so this isn't actually an image of a rotting brain
>nerf to Aeonglass is effectively meaninglessI still don't understand why being pigeonholed into building certain decks is considered fun by the retards on jewtube.>"If shiv decks get you killed against Aeonglass then don't build shiv decksTHEN WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF SILENT HAVING A SHIV ARCHETYPE IF YOU CAN'T EVER BUILD IT BECAUSE OF THE THREAT OF 1 BOSS?

Wow anon, is that THE Eidolon™ card from the Necrobinder™ character from Megacrit™'s critically acclaimed Slay the Spire 2™ (now slayer than ever) on your deck? And did you pick it alongside Snap especifically to counter Aeonglass and its gay faggot statuses? So, how did it work out?Thanks for asking anon! You see, even while giving it retain and having extra energy, AND generating tons of souls against a boss that puts cards in your hand, it was still absolutely fucking dogshit!Both as a deck thinner and as a status card exhaust resource! It did nothing! It's a complete and utter fucking putrid vomit inducing garbage of a card! Absolutely fucking nothing! I gave it retain and it was still sitting in my hand while I spent my energy doing other things instead because playing it while having less than 10 cards is dogshit and when you have 10 cards you inevitably have some valuable resource you don't want to exhaust just to proc the gay intangible so you end up blocking or dealing damage the usual way instead, and the rest of my deck carried instead!What a FUCKING disgrace of a card, wow, thanks for never reworking it Megacrit. I love rolling into it.

>>740302723The B guy fucking sucks too if you have multihit damage.
>>740302905Yeah I quite dislike how all the elites in this game, and some of the hallway fights, are designed not to be interesting mechanically, but just shit all over various strategies/deck types.
>>740303098I'd like it if elites were known on the map so you could do a strategic choice
>theyre not interesting they just make you have to actually think about how you build your deckhuh
First win with Defect, I don't care if parasol is supposed to be bad it's fun.Feels very different from 1, still don't really get how to play it. Started it thinking of going for status generation stuff but eventually the deck morphed into 0 cost attack card synergies.
>Big Hat>Vexing Puzzlebox>Jeweled Mask>Mumified Hand.>Innate Call of Void.It's nice getting like 3 powers off and playing your full starting hand always. GG.
Hey you guys have such great ideas about how the game should be designed, you should get together and make your own game.I'm sure it wouldn't be total dogshit.
>>740304780I thought this sort of reasoning died out in the early 2010s

why do spire sword and shield do that to you right before the heart

>>740299672What can we done with Eidolon, if anything? I can see a few ways to make it better, and a few misleading ideas that don't make it better:-Making it 0 cost does nothing, the situation you described would be the same. -Making it give you 2-3 intangible instead actually gives it a long reaching effect so that you're not just basically playing Vault. -Making it draw a card for each one exhausted lets you continue playing your turn.

>>740310139KINOfect
>>740309435imo, the point of playing Eidolon isn't the intangible, the point is exhausting down to an infinite. it's main synergy is with soul decks, where you can play 1 or 2 combo pieces, use souls to draw the remainder of your deck, and exhaust it all away. There's a reason stoke was reworked.

I GOT THREE MOLTEN FISTS, ONE FOR EACH OF YA
>>740314919Reroll Defect until the game hands you Whirlwind, Icecream, Double Energy, and Supercritical in Act 1
>>740310571Stoke was outrageous (I loved it, but 0 mana exhaust your hand replenish your hand was too strong and the current iteration is both FUN and strong).Eidolon is unplayably bad even for "exhaust your deck for an infinite combo" type of deck because it's the type of card that's only good when things happen exactly one way and awful in every other draw permutation. On a class with zero (0) exhaust synergy too. Any other card from necrobinder that exhausts or transforms a card does what eidolon does more often and with more side benefits.The solution is simply to delete the current iteration and make a new card. Even if it works as intended, it'd be just used for infinite combos which doesn't create super interesting play patterns, and it's pretty clear from their balance vision that they want to shit on infinite combos as much as possible.Just make a new card. It's awful.

>>740316760>spend 3 months adding nothing but a couple relics and spend 99% of the effort tweaking numbers around existing content>half the content is missing and everything will have to be rebalanced again around the rest when it drops
>>740316802k coolmy concern isn't necessarily content, it's balance. like the guy sperging out about eidolon is a kindred spirit, except my albatrosses are cards llke monarch's gaze and soul storm, where the value proposition of taking / playing them is so obviously bad that it's bizarre that they haven't (or hadn't, in monarch's gaze's case) been touched. i just want everything to be semi-viable because the cards / decks are the actual content of the game, and making just one or two bad cards decent adds a number of new possibilities that potentially draw me and others back to the game. i feel like i've played out pretty much every archetype with the current balance, and the changes to the dorito elite and aeonglass (i miss doormaker) haven't really incentivized me to come back.
>>740316760my HOPE is that it's because they're putting most of their dev time into new content like characters, alt acts, and act 4. Outside of the glassnigger I don't have any big gripes about game balance. They COULD just be fucking up, but I remain optimistic.
>pick Not Yet>take no damage

>>740299672>>740309435They should completely redo Eidolon. It's the worst card in the game.They should just make it do something that Nec already does well, rather than chase for some weird non-synergy like Intangible. Remember when they changed Conflagration and Drum of Battle and now they're actually good because there's ways to synergize with them? Just make Eidolon have something to do with Summoning. It's in the name.Maybe it can be like Fiend Fire but you get summon and osty attacks."Exhaust your Hand. Summon 3(4) times. Osty deals 6(7) damage for each card Exhausted. Exhaust."
>>740326326>exhaust hand>replace all exhausted cards with souls
>>740327732Exhaust your Hand. Add 1 random Upgraded Ethereal card into your Hand for each card Exhausted.
>>740326326>Summon AND Osty attacks for each card exhausted this wayNecro doesn't have a card that currently does that right? Both Summon and Osty attacking together in one card?

Having enough shivs to never take damage was fun, but I was omega fucked if we saw aeonglass, lol.
gg guys well played
>>740325005>>740323248Nice time kek, GGI hated my cards this runI tried to build around Osty because I rolled into Sic Em floor 1But game showed me 0 summon cards, and the only draw cards I saw were:>Parse (in deck)>a fucking non-smithed Grave Warden in act 3 (when I have DIAMOND DIADEM)Not sure who was giving me energy but ye, I didn't use it much in act 3 because >diademWas pretty helpful in act 2 thoughI should have closed my eyes and put Corrupted on Squeeze or Eradicate, but I was so desperate for ANY draw or Summon cards than I chose transform. Got a fucking Melancholy

>>740330585ggs good run
>>740330585ggI probably did about 10 damage that entire run
>>740347690>>740348171I ORBED all over, pretty fun build
why are the patches only eveyr 2 weeks now? they updated the first game weekly the entire time until it was finished.
Not really fond of anything here
>>740352775snecko eyethen pick every card that costs 2 or 3win
>>740352342optimistic: they know more about making a game now than they did during 1's playtesting, 2's ea was more finished at launch than 1's, and they're mostly working on big stuff like more content.pessimistic: they're out of juice and not sure what to do.My heart wants to believe the former. Game's good so far so I hope it remains as such.
>>740353019That's how I got through half the ascension levels in sts1
>>740352775Pbox is pretty much always good
>>740352775transform all your starters is goodsnecko eye is also better than you think although maybe on defect not so much since upgraded dualcast and zap are 0 cost. your whole deck doesn't need to be 2 and 3 cost cards. if you get it start of act 2 and you have picked two or 3 2+ cost cards you can take it and then just only pick high value cards after. your 1-cost strikes and defends being in there doesn't really matter because you weren't gonna play most of them anyways.
>>740355560i wish they weren't so gay to only include darv in the pool 50% of your games, i want to play with snecko moreI think I'll whip up some boss swap runs using the console for fun
>>740355859Is there some fuckery with the percentages of the ancients? I know there's more but I only get Vakuu in act 3. I haven't seen a single one of the others yet in that act.
>>740355087considering they pulled aeonglass out of their ass randomly i have to assume they're building alt act 2/3 in the background at the moment
>>740356429every ancient is equally as likely to show up, but darv only gets added to the pool of choices 50% of the time on act 2 and 50% of the time on act 3 (outcome determined by your seed)the rest are all equally as likelyyou have to unlock orobas, the rest should be showing up since your first game
>>740356838I guess it's just rng, I haven't played this a much yet but checking the run history I've got there 6 times now and it's always been him. Thank you.
>>740357236He's the least run defining ancient and I also see him a lot.The other two offer much stronger relics most of the time.But this distribution is literally datamined from the game code so it's basically luck.
>>740355087>optimistic: they know more about making a game now than they did during 1's playtestingif it was due to that then they would have launched with the biweekly patch schedule. them changing after the review bombing shit is a bad sign.
some of you people make yourselves upset over the dumbest shit
>>740359517Maybe, I don't really see any reason for alarm. Like two fights are overtuned and a couple of cards are too weak to have a defined niche, if the majority of their dev time is going into new content rather than constant reinventions of things that work pretty well then that's fine with me.
>>740361718let's not pretend sts1 didn't have unplayably shit cards, to be completely fair sts2 has less poo on anyone's kits than 1they admitted to be pretty burnt out by the time 1 ended its dev cycle so they probably couldn't be bothered to rework or rebalance for longerthere's still a long way ahead

I got the Chemical X and then Cascade, but then Darv's options were all ass and I had tot ake Velvet Chocker. Still worked out. GG.
This trash thread about a trash game belongs in /vg/

What kind of a retard plays a mobile game with ~10 hours of content "gazillion hours"?
>>7403808763/4
i didn't like baalor at first because he was a boomer just doing meme runs and didn't seem to do things like overexplained runs or be trying to go for win streaks that would let me know hes playing well but i've been settling on watching baalor now over everyone else. no constant bitching and posturing about skill and ego, no bitching about other people posturing about skill and ego, no bitching and coping every time theres a loss, no abrasive autism, no unwatchable verbal tics, no incomprehensible voice, no overdone do i fit in meme dialect copy pasted 4x playing on repeat for 10 hours. just slay the spire and a silky smooth voice commentating on the gameplay.
