Perks are cool. They're various micro-goals you can shoot for and they offer lots of interesting choices. Never fear adding more of them.

pixaal posted:There's a lot of RNG I was heavily limited on deck size I only had 8x8 when I first hit 1m, and I hit 1m in booster 1 and 2 costs before I even bought a booster 3. I did a lot of swapping around. The game is still really short (unless something else is going to get throw in my face, I'm going to buy every booster pack since there's a limited number). It's alpha but if anything is hidden it's going to be there. Yeah you're ultimately capped on boosters, so it feels like the optimal approach is to spend as long as possible drawing pack 1 before you get into pack 2/3, and hope for as many +draw items as possible. Once you get more draws everything else snowballs - every pack 2/3 you draw before maxxing out pack 1 is permanent lost cards. I'm at 19.5/30 after 4 hrs or so, curious what people's final stats are like as it'll depend a lot on what order ou do things.

Once you get more draws everything else snowballs - every pack 2/3 you draw before maxxing out pack 1 is permanent lost cards. The amount of cards you can get per tier is constant, the number of booster pack purchases it takes to get all those cards is the only thing that changes. Furthermore, the total number of each card you’ll have after purchasing everything is also constant, so all that purchasing boosters influences how much you spend on getting every card and in what order you get them.

Trying to play this card game on a phone is utterly hellish. The weird card parallax effect seems to mean that the buttons don't work 80% of the time. E: okay you can turn off that animation in the settings and then turn down card size so you scroll the page, and then it works much better Jabor fucked around with this message at 04:19 on Jan 14, 2020 |

it's kinda fuzzily in a "if i get time to/also a mac to test the porting issues" category. fake edit: guess i can also update yall on what i've done the last few days. Namely, hooked up something like 53 new perks, quirks, and wishes to the game, mostly related to cards.I also started work on the sellout stuff. Current plans there are: Rainbow heart (500kap, gives 10% mayo and card gen speed upon completing) Mayo Gen Slot (250k, 3 of them) Tag slot (250k, 1 of em) Unlock Perma-Foils (purely cosmetic, 250k ap) Two consumables: Mayo Infuser (x2 mayo gen speed for 24 hours, 40k ap) Regular Black Pen (adds +2 tier to all incoming cards for 24 hours, also 40k ap) I'm also adding an Ascended ^4 Pack to give you the Rainbow Heart, perma foils, a bunch of consumables including 4 each of the two new ones, and 300k base AP. 225 kreds/22 buckos. something fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Jan 15, 2020 |

Speaking of art, what's the spoopy portrait picture from? Looks vaguely familiar. Making some headway, was excited to see all the PP and spent them all but then I remembered I had maxed floors before so it was all from milestones  Completed the Mega at least! Also, am I crazy or is the stat digger really good if you have the GPS?

Stat digger is good but also very micromanagey, since you'll turn it on, push some floors, then turn it back off again to run your real set of diggers.

What's the level 20 laser sword challenge augment level and subsequent gold requirement? I've done 6 of the challenges so far but just looking to know when to switch to something like the gold challenge because I won't realistically be able to afford or level up the laser sword past 10 levels or something within 24 hours. Switching to leveling up my NGUs up to 10k has been brilliant though as its helped idle walderp and earn a lot more energy per day. I've still not swapped out my beardverse set for any of the walderp gear though. The Walderp stuff will give me higher adventure stats but generally takes a hit on my energy/magic power. Is that normal until I get the walderp stuff up to about level 100 or something? I'm assuming I should only really switch to the walderp stuff when it gives me enough of an adventure stat boost to get into the next zone right?

Kin posted:What's the level 20 laser sword challenge augment level and subsequent gold requirement? You can let the laser sword stuff wait until after you've killed the next two titans. Since it acts like a normal rebirth that doesn't reset anything, you can just work it into the eventual 24 hour rebirths where you just idle around in ITPOD, autokill titans, grow your fruits and raise your NGUs while you build up to Evil. quote:Is that normal until I get the walderp stuff up to about level 100 or something? Yeah. As sets go on, their level 1 versions stop being an upgrade over a level 100 version of the previous set. There's a website ( https://gmiclotte.github.io/gear-optimizer/#/ ) where you can plug in what gear you have (and what level it's at) and it'll run the math on which pieces to use to accomplish a particular goal. You can try that to see if beard/walderp is better for you at the moment. The NGU discord is also really good and helpful and has rooms based on progression levels so you don't get people talking about things that make no sense to you because you're not there yet.

Have you done the 3rd Troll challenge for 24-hour fruit yet? I'm almost exactly where you are, and just finished that. It's a huge help for challenges to put a day's worth of experience into Rich Guy's +Atk% and +Def% to help boost you through the early bosses to unlock time machine and blood magic.

Slight change to the card consumable thing, i decided to make it run for 25 card spawns instead. Effectively the same thing, at least until your card spawn rate speeds up.

NGU question - Does your overall drop rate affect the drop rate for quest items? I have limited diggers at this point, so is it a waste of a spot having the drop rate digger active?

Aha, that might actually help quite a bit. Right now i've not put anything into those so they're both just at 100%. Even with the ~20k i get overnight now i could shoot that up by a few thousand percent.

Greenhorn impression for the (first?) big Titan spoiler (after Mega): Crud, I thought Droop was the name of the wizard since it's in the same story text. I had skipped it (after checking the wizard's story text again) but accidentally spoiled it for myself or idk when I would've figured it out. I did check out the ring slot that UUG mentions in the auto-kill/tooltip but since it didn't have a hint (it was just one of the standard "beats me" or whatever text) I figured I just didn't have it yet or that I'd unlocked it from beating him once my stats increased enough since Mega/Beard is kinda a bigger wall compared to anything recently anyway. Also, right now I kinda hate how everything is screaming "Put it in gold you idiot!" lol. I guess we'll see if things change once I can stand up w/o getting auto-killed in The Beardverse.
