Certain game mechanics, designed for immersion, should be changed

[AlarGuardian]

how foolish we were thinking the 1000 galleon reward upon completing a tower would be game changing

[clowGenesis_CG]

Nice suggestion, should be added.

Although I’m lowkey considering being the devil’s advocate for the purposes of strengthening the argument just to increase the likelihood of it being good and reasonable enough to spend development time implementing into the game.

I work in game dev after all, I’m perfectly suited.

10/10, 100% reasonable and valid, I see no issues with this. Which is precisely why Vetex will crash out when the community inevitably pleads to him about this. I wonder if the entirety of the patreon supporters and Moochezz pressuring him could make it happen.

Edit: Never mind, 4/5 on reasonability I actually like limb loss as a mechanic and I think a lot of these value changes where you’re halving or doubling stuff is way overtuned.

patreon supporters

He rarely communicates directly, mostly via questions posted by them, only conversing more if its to elaborate on said answer to question.

Damaged and Ruined Armour: This is an upcoming addition to the cast, and the devs could shrug off this entire section with “stop complaining, you literally haven’t experienced it yet!“. This will be a valid argument, but preventative measures do have their place. From the testers’ descriptions, the mechanic is going to show itself as a constant annoyance, or as something you solve in a few clicks and forget. It even got its own soap - Repair Kits! An item made solely for solving a particular immersion mechanic, how cool! This one does have an another use - to clear Greases from weapons, and that will be kept, as it actually has a use.

This mechanic will not be added. The community is not gonna sugarcoat it. Armour Damage is made to… punish a player for fighting for long? And added in… the update that adds powerful enemies you’re gonna fight for long? Are we for real with this one? You want immersion? We already have it! Armour shows cracks on it from fighting - a purely visual change, that doesn’t even look that bad like Dirt was! It even looks cool! So why worsening this to make it affect our actual stats?!

what the fuck where did thhis get added

[Scandin]

It will be added in the dragon update.

is there a trello entry for this
i gotta share this

[Scandin]

Not a dedicated trello post, but there is the 1.20.31 patch notes.

What the fuck is this formatting?

Where the fuck is the formatting?

[dis]

what a stupid fucking addition oh my god bruh

[Scandin]

It’s literally punishing for PLAYING THE GAME

[dis]

what’s next, are we getting body injuries that fuck with movement, reduce defense, blind people?

[Scandin]

If it was slightly reduced in punishment, then it’d sound completely plausible.
Do not jinx us.

I do not work in game dev, I am not perfectly suited for strenghtening this argument

[clowGenesis_CG]

I was mostly asking for your permission since I know people are very defensive about their really bad suggestions.

[wardcord1]

I would like to start off by saying this: beautiful image of Team Immersion.

@BiologLOL

Beast Defense is not granted by vanity items anymore. Whose idea was this to make visual-only items matter in any way in game? Players need freedom in how they dress, not be forced into metal armour all the time! Instead, Beast Defense becomes a jewel substat, added by using Slowness reagents

I agree with everything here except for this. I would personally prefer if beast defense was based on what you had equipped (not vanity equipment, normal equipment). For example, if you had full metal armor actually equipped, but a tropical shirt vanity equipped, you would still get beast defense.

However, that’s just my opinion.

Good luck, and may we all hope and dream that Vetex actually implements these

[UltraRedOrange]

I’m still vouching for this, even if Vetex is too stubborn when it comes to valid criticism and never reads this.

[redcteron]

PLEASE VETEX DO THIS

I don’t want to punish people for using lost envoy/diplomat or half of their respective route’s unique gear like arcmancer or oracle robes sets (mandatory “sorry Weapons, your route deserved more“ mention)

[BiologLOL]

@BiologLOL

sorry Weapons, your route deserved more

You know what… I’m gonna head to the drawing board rn
