loopuleasa Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 okay, I tested it, the direction is interesting, seems to need some tuning to get it in a good spot Farming farming wise, I actually prefer old maxwell's farming power level right now the shadow puppets dont last long enough to be worth the nm fuel investment Duelists Duelists seem to be better now They finally embraced their role as kamikaze cannon fodder Shadow storage shadow storage is cool Shadow sneak shadow sneak just... scares mobs? unsure how that is useful. I don't think it does damage. Shadow pillars shadow pillars are cool New powers book UI the UI experience is not nice for the book, I need hotkeys for each new power Book animation the book casting animation is a bit clunky since it roots me in place for this long Gonna add more thoughts as they occur to me to this thread as I discover more Suggestion 1: Make book refillable via wicker bookcases? Suggestion 2: Make bosses breakout of shadow prisons (right now you can trap bosses and wanda goes pewpew) Suggestion 3: Make shadow sneak also do AoE damage, while increasing shadow cost Edit: from update 2 Shadow servants now feel much better, they last a normal duration and they now properly pickup gatherings This is what 1 nmfuel can get you, and it is not even done chopping Apparently I was wrong about how shadow servants work, they a long long time as they are chopping. Now their idle despawn lasts 10 seconds. Still have to have the area loaded for it to work Shadow duelists also seem to have better dps, still not usable on bosses as expected Dark sword not draining sanity is actually a nerf, as I liked going insane from it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/144245-maxwell-beta-thoughts-from-a-maxwell-gamer/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just costs max sanity That is, Max's max sanity. Max max sanity sanity sanity. (though i definitely agree they should last longer.)

JJ0264 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 When I saw "Shadow Pillars" as traps I thought it would be those black pillars at Pig King "Shadow Sneak" could be useful for Ruin Clockworks (Bishops) or maybe make Pirate Monkeys less of an issue Maxwell can't be perma-insane so getting that early Dark Flower Garden is going to be needed Ender-Tophat could teleport bundle wraps/Armor stuff or teleport resources by dropping the hat by tree farm (inventory less stuffy) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/144245-maxwell-beta-thoughts-from-a-maxwell-gamer/#findComment-1605840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacknight7890 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Possible Duelist changes (not all at once, but maybe one or two of them): 1) natural armor/more health to make then last longer 2) a dodge/block mechanic, where when they are first hit, they either block the damage like the bone armor, or they dodge the attack like a shadow monster. Has a cooldown that leaves them vulnerable. If they have this then they don't need to kite and can hit enemies more than once. 3) higher damage attacks. 4) explodes on death. If they are gonna kamikaze anyway, then they might as well.

YouKnowWho Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 9 hours ago, loopuleasa said: incorrect you need to refuel the book with nm fuel, for 25% per nm True, but comparing that to the previous summoning cost of 2 nightmare fuel (plus tools). means you get a whopping 10 rework servants for the value of 1 old servant. That's the main thing I wanted to bring attention to.
