Developer Kevin Posted January 18, 2020 Developer Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hey Grifters! This is a fun update - you can now play through the entirety of Sal's story! (I also added a way to skip ahead to the last day with a random deck in the experiments). Thanks for testing the auction over night! We've analyzed the results, and made some changes to the balance. Enabled Sal day 5 - you can now complete Sal's story with your own decks Added two new experiments that jump you to the start of day 5 (one for each partner faction). Added lots of new tooltips for the auction arguments If Nadan/Oolo is alive and doesn't hate you in the Kashio fight, they will help out (with a special summon card) The auctioneer gives you a "bid" card every turn, so that you can use your money in the auction. Auction items have significantly more resolve (and are tiered based on their power level) Kashio's holograms now dissipate when they take damage (not just on-hit) View full update 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacovf Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Awesome! Will try it when I get a moment. 4 minutes ago, Kevin said: Kashio's holograms now dissipate when they take damage (not just on-hit) There's still a way to tell which one is the real one. It's always the first one to attack on the UI. Try mixing it up 5 minutes ago, Kevin said: Auction items have significantly more resolve (and are tiered based on their power level) Oh, I thought that had already been implemented. I was going to ask about it, since I was very confused by what the game appeared to think their power level was. I guess it was just random so far.

RageLeague Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I literally just got this after the update. This seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF3 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I also had Oolo appear in a random shop during Day 2. I think Oolo lost her plot armor at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer Kevin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just pushed a fix for the oolo plague. We had moved her definition to a new file and forgot to mark her as a unique. Should be live in a half hour. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageLeague Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Do we allow swearing in this game? I've seen swears like Hesh or crap, but I've never seen "sh*t" before until today's release of the 5th day. The forum clearly censors the word.

Developer Kevin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just pushed some misc crash/flow/typo fixes. Thank you for all of the reports! Haven't addressed everything reported yet - just the quick and easy stuff. We'll do a thorough pass on Monday with the whole pile. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good negotiation decks can output obscene amounts of damage very quickly, but they're usually not that good at withstanding continued high levels of damage, because that's currently very rare in the campaign (only Sprees, but those negotiations are very short). Bumping Blast Chamber from 30 resolve to 50 or so won't deter good negotiation decks much, but forcing the player to wait until turn 4 to start attacking it definitely will. I find the auction to be a nice way to help "balance" the artifacts and reward people that invest in their negotiation skills. In fact, I kinda wish we could get multiple artifacts via the auction, instead of just getting one "for free". That being said, I still think most of the grafts need a buff. For example, you seem well aware from your metrics that Macrorasp is possibly the scariest buff for Kashio (even after the latest nerf), yet with Sal's graft slots being so limited, even if you get it you're better off just throwing it away. It would be more fun/interesting if instead of just choosing which artifact to get to weaken Kashio the most (which is where we're at right now), we also had to balance that out against which one will make Sal the strongest. EDIT: One more thing: when Kashio gets the power glaive, she spends her first turn just grabbing it. It seems like it's the only artifact that makes her waste a turn. Is it intentional? Especially given that the glaive doesn't give her much of a power boost, it almost feels like letting her keep it is actually nerfing her. (idea: make it so Kashio's attacks only apply 2 wound or 1 exposed, and it's using the glaive that boosts those numbers to 3 wound and 2 exposed). On a different note altogether, the part where "the lumin tank under the deck explodes, lights go out, the place looks trashed" is very very confusing. What happened? Why? Who did it? Why was there even a lumin tank under the auction floor, that seems like a huge Occupational Health and Safety violation lawsuit waiting to happen.

Developer Kevin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just pushed a couple more fixes (typos and the negative defense bug if you had a lot of banes). Apologies to the person who made it all of the way to Kashio with a deck that's capable of beating her on the first turn, and then crashed when destroying a hologram. Not sure what's up with that one yet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageLeague Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The game keeps freezing for some reason. Usually during combat when an enemy is targeted, but not always. The game froze when I played "execute" or "call oolo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TF3 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I had the same issue, didnt even give me the usual crash screen, just froze. Also, Defense for whatever reason was not decaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Kevin Posted January 19, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted January 19, 2020 Oh man, yeah. I see the problem now. One of the "fixes" I put in earlier today wasn't so much a fix as an instance of "make the game not work in any case other than the one I tested". I just pushed a for-real-this-time-I-swear (probably?) fix for "fix" and for the original problem. Should be live in 20 minutes or so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what's up with that one yet Oh hey I think that was me. Turns out applying 5 Wound on first attack + tripled wound effectiveness + muscle bank + discharge destroys everything in the game. Since multi-hit attacks apply the wound from Wounding Barbs on each hit, Discharge applies around 9*5 = 45 Wound, and with tripled effectiveness, all attacks deal 135 more base damage.

Developer Kevin Posted January 19, 2020 Author Developer Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just pushed some more fixes. Biggest thing was skipping the auction entirely if oolo was dead. Also, typos. Lots and lots of typos. Somehow, there are always more typos to fix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageLeague Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The item appear in the auction are completely different from the one presented after doing a handler's side quest. So Kashio get 1 more item than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! Good find! There ARE two kashios running around in everyone's games. I'll figure that one out next. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
