What's Going On In the Gameplay Tune-Up?
|
|||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
So the gameplay tuneup is getting close to wrapping up and please take everything with a grain of salt as ET has said that everything is subject to change.
If you would like to be surprised this is not at all for you, but we’ve seen one too many surprise changes that made old players homicidal in the past and since ET said it could be discussed here is what I think it likely to change. Please note, game wise the only thing you need to read in advance to possibly prevent having a flezz impact is the consumables section. Consumables: Consumables decay. I don’t know what the time frame for decay will be, or if it will be the same as on the test server – everything was radically accelerated on the test server. I am personally selling off all my stockpiled consumables, again, this is simply my choice given the information I have, it is possible that I will find that I regret it. Attacks: Attacks have sensitivities. There are five – aggression, antisocial, misanthropy, incompetence and narcissism. (Remember that survey thing where ET asked people to name what the forums should be bumociated with, this is the end result.) Forums will have weakness and strengths to certain sensitivities. This makes the selection of attacks far more important, especially at lower levels. I believe this will be very cool and make Episode 3 more interesting attack wise. There will be a way to keep track of which sensitivities each forum has. Lemon: Lemon will be based on fans earned rather than speed. Fans earned is based on number of moves taken, damage done and damage received. This is kind of neat from a level cap perspective since you can get a forum to that final hit point and still earn full lemon even if it sits for 10 minutes. Currently it looks like it really male reproductive organs with the job board, but the job board has been horribly buggy on the test server, so I can’t say for sure. New forum attacks: Some forums will be able to do more than just hit your ego. There will be ways to prevent almost all of the special attacks a forum delivers. Log in to see images! |

So does this mean that Phase 3 will not occur? |

I believe (but don’t hold me to it) that that is correct. |

Please change the name of status effect. I guess most people don’t know what “Ad Hominem” means, and that’s about the only thing I can see you’re banking on… but for those of us who do, “Ad Hominem” is a very poor choice. It’s a hard sell to see how the term could possible be construed as a status effect. |

Any examples for how this consumable decay works, what decays into what? In general, it a predictable decay into a less potent variety of the same type of consumable (e.g. 5-HTP into Synthol), or something more weird than that? |

Currently, consumables decay into junk. Then the junk decays into different junk. Repeat until hitting an end point.
There’s been at least one spading attempt (by yours truly) but the final results may differ so it’s not going to be published until it’s verified live. |

What is the point of it? How is something like this going to make the game more fun? |

Because it requires you to manage resources.
The goal isn’t necessarily to make the game more fun, it’s to make the game more challenging.
But on the fun side, stocking up on non-expiring consumables is boring. |

anyone can go buy 1000 5-HTPs, so that they never have to visit the Drug Store again. Now you’ll actually have to THINK about how many you buy ahead of time. If you buy too many, then they decay. If you don’t buy enough, you may actually *fail* to beat the forum. Fancy that. An actual challenge Log in to see images! |

So does that mean that by random chance they get no peen? Or will you still be giving out the peens despite not letting them participate? (I think most of them have stopped playing anyway, but duca comes to mind.) |

Stocking up on expiring consumables is boring also. |
