Hecate Essence Rant and a Call for Answers Regarding it

This game is played primarily by children though they’ll look at it and say “oh its only 0.15 thats not a lot!” And now theyre running glass or something (is glass still shit?)

glass is s tier because it can cause real world ear damage

Sample would reply with “what if they get bored of that magic?” but that would just be a Sisyphean loop

honestly the only guy baiting here right now is arc and I’m all but completely ignoring him lol.

that’s true but also you haven’t developed any frame of reference for what those numbers mean

for example size 1x intuitively should mean “average” size because it doesn’t change it but for this game it actually means one of the smallest magics availible

almost all magics are below 1x damage too which adds more confusion

speed is the only thing with some consistency

children won’t even care about the stats, they’ll just pick fire because it’s cool, and honestly i believe that’s how people should choose their magics instead of whatever their stat spreads are

i actually do agree with this, particularly the damage part

ok seriously why the hell isn’t 1x damage the base level? that doesn’t make sense at all

What the fuck happened in the last 20 minutes

part (which goddamn part are we on?) of the hecate war

It would probably be an issue of scaling really quickly if it was above 1

why? instead of 0.9x/1.0x change it to 1.0x/1.1x

he doesn’t listen to others your warning did nothing

kids can understand percentages & decimal counting though??? idk what you’re getting at here :sob:

bro everyone here is baiting you im gonna be 100% fr

you have though - as i stated in another post of mine - it’s completely arbitrary and just requires a tad bit of thinking

yes you don’t know HOW FAST something is, but you know it’s comparison to other magics, if someone wants to pick an average speed magic and they’re upset with the speed, they CAN adjust it with a minor setback to their stats using attack speed

can confirm this is how i chose lightning (as did most kids)

it is indeed how i have chosen all of my magics ever

I can’t tell if we are talking about hecate or magic synergies

major setback unfortunately due to speed being such an ungodly unfun and boring stat now (please rebuff it the meta will NOT be worse off)

It could lead to some annoying scaling in my head if your upper tier of damage is something like 1100 from 1000 instead of the round number being the higher one

were talking about how a new player’s first magic choice is supposedly blind because of a lack of knowledge about the game - meaning a bad pick results in them NEEDING a hecate essence

ngl i still run 230 speed post-nerfs

We were talking earlier about what the actual issue with essence is, here’s how I see it personally.

kinda both, we’re discussing how impactful magics are which would effect the importance of a change to hecate essence
