Discussion: Spirits Beyond Midterm Patch Notes

yeah

 

How do you not QA something like that?

 

Clearly they should not have left QA to the baby.

 

So, alot of these changes didn't actually go through? eradicate unchanged, tremir ability unchanged, sarinda still has violence charge 3 etc.

I haven't gone through every ability change just a few that were immediately important to what I was playing. Why is that?

 

code shmode, I was commenting on 'balance'.

what about going the OTHER other way? since dom/cliff has survived this long it seems evident to me that chasm insta kills are not considered a balance concern. so simply allow knock back into chasms again. The only reason people complained about that in the first place was as a counter to all the dom/cliff whining. and really what does all this catering to the whiners about 'balance' actually do for this game? just takes up all your dev time, doesn't actually balance the game anyway, and makes as many people mad as it does happy. and truth be told, you are really only balancing the game around the active players, basically picking winners and losers. I know you may not think that's what youre doing, but effectively it is.

 

Thanks for adding Shadowstrike back to Lurker

 

Or KB interruption, yeah. Wonky stuff.

 

Myx too?

 

Isn't the usefulness of chasms too limited with this new change?

 

I would like to see them get stunned or gain lumbering, awestruck, etc. for a few turns. Like they are climbing out.

 

All chasm spaces could be turned to Tar. It would need an artist to touch up some maps, though.

 

Then we could have "Tarwalker" and "Domain: Tar".

 

To be honest i really felt like the chasm change was unnecessary. The only way people were ever getting KB chasm'd was by making a major mistake (which most major mistakes cost you the game anyways) or if the opponent makes a awesome play. IE Relocate Foe, Punish attack then KB into chasm. But i'd say the major mistake part is the more frequent cause of KB chasms and i dislike that the game is being designed around people making mistakes when there was already an effective failsafe against chasming anyways
