>>740998278>leveling up is harmful unless you do it efficientlyelin has level scaling?
>>740997969is this modded?
>>740998312Kinda? But you can always just sell your "levels" at no detriment to yourself
>>740997969>AIslop static modsNot convincing OP.
>>740998278>>leveling up is harmful unless you do it efficientlyNo it's not.>have to grind ultra boring/retarded skills to make food that makes leveling up efficientNo you don't.>most efficient way to level up is to force yourself to vomit so you can eat more stat boosting foodDoes he know?>combat focused on 1 button map clearing, and if you cannot 1 button map clear, you get 1 shot from the shadow dimension by a tentacle monster due to infinite scalingThe game isn't balanced around playing the same file for 2000 hours yet. It's EA. If you reach the point where this becomes an issue then you've gotten hundreds if not thousands of hours of enjoyment. Thanks for showcasing just how much bang you get for your buck with Elin.>95% of the activities in the game essentially trivial busywork or vanityReductionist fallacy.>true endgame is showing off your personal gooncave to dwindling and cynical user baseThis isn't the deterrent you think it is. If someone enjoys spending several hundred hours creating their ideal town then this is a great game to do it in.>last 75% ish of the game is same monster model but 'more numbers'A new player going in blind is going to be seeing new enemies appearing even several dozen hours in.
>>740997969I hate sexy mods.
it's a funny game
>>740998663>>>leveling up is harmful unless you do it efficiently>No it's not.Yes it is.>>have to grind ultra boring/retarded skills to make food that makes leveling up efficient>No you don't.Yes you do. >>most efficient way to level up is to force yourself to vomit so you can eat more stat boosting food>Does he know?Did they nerf vomiting? Great. You still need to eat highest quality possible food as often as possible.>>combat focused on 1 button map clearing, and if you cannot 1 button map clear, you get 1 shot from the shadow dimension by a tentacle monster due to infinite scaling>The game isn't balanced around playing the same file for 2000 hours yet.

Also let me add this>impossible to progress past a certain point without extensively referencing and studying the wiki, because numerous systems are not explained at all in gameQuintessential wikislop, and if you love wikislop you might like this since the game is full of 'knowledge' like that.
>possible to brick your character vs level of content you are facing by leveling up inefficiently (IE: by eating simple foods while actually adventuring/interacting with game systems except for farming/cooking) >the fix is to add an NPC where you can sell your wasted effort levels and reduce the difficulty of the game, so you can go back and efficiently level up all over again>this was very exciting to core players, because they love the idea of re-grinding levels they didn't squeeze 100% potential stats out of
>>740999324I still don't understand why you equate fame with levels but OK
>>740997969I did, for about 25 hours. It's fun to play for a bit, but the core systems are retarded and I'm not dealing with that
>>740997969I was thinking about getting this game. People who like it, what do you like about it?
>>740999032>Yes it is.Stopped reading there. You're objectively wrong and the rest is most likely bullshit from a retard who got filtered. Concession accepted.
>>740999032>Yes it is.No it's not you stupid schizo. Leveling up doesn't affect enemies. That's fame - which is readily sellable.>Yes you do. No, you don't. You can get perfectly adequate stats off vendor food OR if you play other shit-races that don't even need to cook. You also gain stats/levels through skilling, eating is largely late-game and supplementary for the early-mid game progression - unless you're a Farmer.As for "True endgame" there are things beyond your base. Some autists play with Ikea/Warehouse bases, and they exist solely to create their dream party of GigaChad NPCs so they can numbers-go-up.>>740999187>impossible to progress past a certain point without extensively referencing and studying the wiki, because numerous systems are not explained at all in gameThe game LITERALLY has an in-game encyclopedia.
>>740998312It has fame scaling, but fame drops when you croak or fail quests.
nah, because the devs misunderstand what efforts he should be putting into the game, which made it into just a spreadsheet game with no real substancethe RPG aspect is just flawed and gets boring really fast, the character creation, the portraits, the PCC system, the crafting system, all of it is barebones as fuck and there's no reasons for him to ever fix any of those aspects because all the fanbase he's built wants is more levels to grind so that they can make a bigger spreadsheetjust forgot the fact that it's a video game a long time ago
What's it about?
>>740999531your little sister is actually 432 years older than you and is actually and AT-gun XDDDD also you buy things from cat zombie people that love eating apples and hate dogs LOL XD and also there are crabs that you can fight that make bird noises when you fight them LOLOLOLOL
>>740997969Women don't fucking dress like that, that's sexist and problematic
>>740999592Thanks, t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m. 'Preciate you. Now does anyone who's not a colossal fucking faggot wanna tell me what this game is about? I would rather ask here than Google it.
>>740999435>People who like it, what do you like about it?It's got a similar feeling to Elona(+), in that it features very japanese style video game elements and tropes. It's a combination of game types you don't see together very often, with a roguelike open world+dungeon crawler attached to a town/colony builder with farming.It's unapologetically quirky and sticks to the creators vision, and he doesn't compromise on the weird stuff he likes, for good or for bad. The progression systems are unique, and you gain a lot of power by worshipping a particular god or doing certain things in the correct order. You can raise companions to be godlike creatures and tame/breed monsters. Basically there is a ton of stuff to do and you can do a lot of very unusual stuff you cannot normally do in video games, like steal pieces of towns or buildings and sell them / break them down into base materials. It has a lot of freedom if you are wanting it. Overall it's a charming game but definitely only for the unemployed because it requires a large amount of time investment to progress, which is a big ask for an early access title with a slow development pace. tl;dr if you liked Elona you will probably like Elin
>>740999720that's actually what the game is about, Elin is made by the guy who made Elona, which is basically loL soRanDum japanese humor roguelike (and that's ok)
I made a party of cows with guns. It was pretty fun.I called them the Moofia.
>>740999775Oh. Sounds like shit. Thanks, anon.
>>740999503>spreadsheet gameNo one has used a spreadsheet for this game.
>>740999503>retardYou're clueless.>>740999531It's not really "about" anything at the moment. It's a sandbox RPG. There's a story but it's not complete yet.
>>740999804>>740999775obvious samefag
>>740999461>That's fame - which is readily sellable.Oh so you ...level up your fame too high for your....character level, and then you can't progress till you....sell your fame level.....so you can....level up properly? You're retarded.>You can get perfectly adequate stats off vendor food No you can't. You played liked max 10 hours. Vendor food is trash even max investment, compared to what the player can make. >just play a shit raceits a shit race for a reason no thanks>in game encyclopediawhich has no useful 'deep' knowledge about systems players are actually forced to interact withbtw>auto-combatI should have mentioned that before, but the actual combat of the game is so boring and pointless that auto-combat is necessary so the player can sweep the dungeons without developing carpal tunnel. 95% of your time 'in combat' will become watching the game play itself, and then the remaining 5% will be entering pause while you are redlined on health wondering WTF just happened (aforementioned shadow realm tentacle beast 1 shotted you)
>>740997969>HIVI ain't touching that game...
>>740999903>Elin threads on /v/ now have a random anti schizo
>>740999187a roguelike has knowledge checks? Karen, call the police!
>>741000009>time wasting autistic early access game has someone who played it and warns people about the time wasting autistic bullshit in it>this is a conspiracynope, it's the natural order of things
>>741000673It feels like people aren't allowed to find faults in anything these days. Everything has to be mindlessly consumed.
Is strip mining a dungeon to turn metal into bones still a thing?
>>740999730Well I'm not unemployed but I do play video games at work so really what's the difference? I quite like autistic games and games that expect 1000s of hours. I bought it thanks.
>>740997969I'm confused.Are those night workers or cops?
>>741000892reskinned chickens actually
>>741000673>time wasting>/v/ - video gameskill yourself>>741000835>>740998546
>acktually the game has a GUIDE you should READ IT>read it>doesn't mention most commonly used player transmutation schemes to get base materials dumb fag
>>740997969I will only play this game again when the main story is completed.
>>741001218>I don't want to play the game and experiment, I want the solution presented to medo you also ask Tyron to fuck your wife because watching is more interesting than playing?
>see thread>start game again>new character>witness the agonizing early game trivial hand holding basic peasant base setup that will take hours to set up>quit idk how to deal with this, maybe an advanced start or inherit previous bases option would be good I would like to play a new character with my same base/town I built
>>741002178>just waste dozens of hours on pain staking experimention and trial and error to discover how to... make nails the most efficient way lol
>>741002424I already bought the game you don't have to keep selling it to me.
You aren't trying to play the piano with only level 200 music are you?
>>741001218Anon a big part of the game is learning shit. You're basically admitting that you're a retard who can't figure anything out for himself and wants everything spoonfed and you sperg out when information isn't spoonfed to you.
>>740998312yes but you can just turn it off if you want to be comfy
>>740997969I tried once a while back. Art style and theoretically this game sounds perfect for me, but it just felt really "jank" at the start for lack of a better word and I fell off quick.Any advice to help it click for me?
>>740997969I don't care what game you try to shill me, I'm not paying taxes!
>>740997969Is it still being updated every day?
>>741004254consume 6 hours of 90's moe anime while in severe sleep deprivation
>>740997969not until it updates
