Clbum Balance at the Level Cap: How much do we really care?Fair enough, was unaware camwhores and emokids couldn’t buy it. I’m pretty sure the cha cap isn’t that low (again, it’d be a ridiculous pity given single items bring you over it), but that now shows Camwhores at having less than half the added upgrade points of trolls and less than a quarter of that of hackers. Not definitive, but definitely pointing to being significantly less flexible and capable.
Yes, that method of comparison does bumume that folks want the stats of their starter pack. But outside of tweaking for riding the min ego curve, having some defense is still of value to a balanced emo (since any time you don’t one shot a thread at min ego, defense provides a chance of riding it for free).
anyhow, I’ll shutup about clbumes I don’t play. (view post) |

The "special" quest.Congrats. Your store method always seemed really solid, so I’m not surprised. I figured at least the wealth wasn’t being concentrated in one user, so there was room to catch and pbum, or at least be sitting ready for when the top few started twenty million flezz bidding wars on the first few itembuildr productions.
Yeah, I’m done with the flezz gathering metagame. Fun while it lasted, but seeing the top get that big a leap and considering that just tacked another month on provided that stays still (it’s always a moving target) and it’s just doesn’t seem as exciting anymore. (view post) |

Clbum Balance at the Level Cap: How much do we really care?Not that I disagree at all with ‘camwhores underpowered’ conclusion…
But it’s way better to compare in full upgrade points. You’re sidesliding that you could take those points you’re getting in cha and ‘not’ upgrade them, instead spending the points you would spend in offense.
All stats can be compared pretty fairly by valuing them at their highest upgrade cost. Which yes, gives trolls a fantastic starter package since they get effectively 24 upgrade points each time for free.
I forget what cha is worth. I think it ends up a 3/point. Might be 2 per point in which case this is high. Both my clbumes can’t buy it actually.
Converting to points, that equipment is closer to 38 (red strap ons) + 49 (corset) + 18x4 (starter pack). This puts camwhores equipment+starter pack contributing around 159 upgrade points. A good deal less than trolls 231 and not even half of hacker’s 410. (view post) |

The "special" quest.Mmm…
A sad byproduct seems to be that the top of the flezz leaderboard just went up 16 million flezz since the contest was launched.
This being almost my current flezz value, I think I may have to reflect on continuing to attempt to climb that ladder. (view post) |

Reserve Not Yet MetShii Posted:
I’m totally signed on this.
It should also be VISIBLE. It’s a play back between the buyers and sellers. If the sellers don’t know what it is AND don’t know if they’ve hit it, all they face is annoyance.
I’ve had auctions where the buyer missed the reserve by <100k. (view post) |

The "special" quest.Yeah.
Microcontent? Super cool. I’m already amused this is there.
Hearing that the end result was already given hours ago? Eh, not so cool.
In a sense, the microquests have a multiplayer competitive component that is more tacked on. This would’ve gone perfectly awesome as a ‘play this out in a week timespan’ type thing. It is a little ‘oh…disappointing’ when being a daily player isn’t even enough to have a chance at short time challenges.
Anyhow, going to go continue being amused by the quest. (view post) |

Clbum Balance at the Level Cap: How much do we really care?pieyum Posted:
For context, technically, that’s partially equipment balanced. Look at Hacker top tier equipment versus theirs. Hacker top tier primary equipment gives an awe inspiring +60 off, +60 def, +40 luck. About 400 upgrade points worth of stats.
Comparetively, the troll’s best primary equipment is +10 off, +35 off. About 135 upgrade points worth of stats. Outside of that, both clbumes equip pretty much the same secondary equipment (varied for their build needs).
so add in the points from the bonus pack (x4): Hackers add a meger about 10 upgrade points really (Rounding the +40 ego to 2). Trolls add an astonishing 96 points.
but sum those: Hackers: 410 Trolls: 231
And it becomes fairly obvious that hackers should be killing trolls, and last I checked, statistically they really do. It’s largely their ridiculously weak and refresh ridden attack and their equipment based processing power set that holds them down in spite of pretty much having a huge base of stat points. Their equipment actually ends up producing lower upkeep costs since each one works off a lower cost base and the other clbumes have equipment costing four times as much. Having easier processing power (as another suggested) would really help them tons, but their starter pack looks pretty sensible in context of their primary equipment being vastly better on the stat front.
other fun numbers: Summing the off and def on my hacker vs my troll: Troll 260 vs hacker 303. 43 stat points of difference, and they’re both pretty heavily into offense and defense. That’s nearly the trolls Primary Equipment value right there. (view post) |

Clbum Balance at the Level Cap: How much do we really care?Evil Trout Posted:
Cool beans, ET.
I have to admit though, the reason I at least never toss up turns as the easy solution is that (aside from number of threads) I don’t think there’s much variance between players of the same level on the same forum. Additionally, it’s almost too deterministic. If it was number of turns or actions taken, each forum’s speed run becomes “Look for min threads, kill each thread in 1-2 actions.” Or at least, it does in the environment where an average thread is not taking more than 2 actions (Most top clbum forums) or only 1 (most everything else) and that action can be spammed repeatedly. Even if it couldn’t be spammed repeatedly, the ‘idea order’ would quickly be defined for each clbum and forum, so that instead speed running is “Press ability 1,2,4,3,5, repeating”.
Either way, I think too deterministic and basically min thread based beats the current version hands down. (view post) |

Is Episode II worth the money?Evil Trout Posted:
Eh. I’m pretty sure I took a while to go through it. I was one of those that vanished after finishing ep 1 pretty much and while I think I leveled to about 14 before I really started it, I didn’t find it a complete pushover.
I suspect a lot here though were also doing it during the flezz madness section. I know I was and it helped tons being able to trivially purchase all the top tier equipment really early. (view post) |
