goferchan posted:what are your items? There is one that raises the value of a cell whenever you target it with a magic item. This can be beneficial for items that have effects based on the value of the target cell I don't think I had any magic items active, it was my first run so I was just playing some basic minesweeper. It looks like there's a lot more systems in the game than I'd realised though so I reckon it's more likely to be one of those that I'd overlooked rather than some crazy bug.

Yeah you probably had the "fake" modifier which makes a couple cells just lie to you. You can see the stage mods listed before you enter the stage. That's often a dangerous one and it's pretty rare to get on an early quest, but it also counts as a "difficult" mod which means you get more loot and rarer loot when it's on a stage.

Epic apparently already filed an antitrust against Apple over this. That might really blow up or it might turn out to do nothing at all.

They included a direct payment method that circumvents the app store somehow, which the terms of use explicitly forbid apps from doing.

I think it's mindblowing how they are essentially recruiting kids, basically the vast majority of Fortnite's playerbase, into fighting a PR war for them. Fake edit: I mean cause legally Epic is hosed. They broke the store's legal contract.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:They basically told users that they should pay Epic directly for cosmetics instead of using the in-app purchase system that goes through Apple, because Apple takes a 30% cut of all those purchases and Epic needs More Money and More Growth. It's probably not a sole reaction to this, but has been a long time coming. Epic (Tim) is openly fighting the 30% cut for quite some time now, not the least with their own storefront.

Apple is nothing if not well known for really, really wanting to maintain their stranglehold on their devices' app ecosystem, so it's not like it's altogether undeserved, either.

They're also not shy about using that power to bully others into doing what they want, under threat of removing them from the app store and thus from everyone addicted to iphones.

If you get Remnant from the EGS, can you play co-op with someone who bought it on Steam?

Someone over in the EGS thread claimed that the Remnant Discord has confirmed that you can, but the free download has only been available for a few hours yet. Ask again in a day or two and people might be able to give you a real, first-hand answer.

Two hours into Remnant: from ashes and my first impression that it plays much better then it looks. Other then wishing it had more intresting dress-up options for my character im liking it so far .

The loot is set and mostly upgradable (armour/weapons are, not jewelery). No randomly generated gear. edit: you upgrade your character through traits that boost stuff like HP, crit chance, elemental resist, etc instead of leveling up and increasing your attributes.

sebmojo posted:i've seen the name a lot, how does it differ from diablo? all gear in the game is hand designed and most of it comes from preset sources (i.e. a weapon is specifically a guaranteed reward from killing a certain boss), there is nothing randomized about anything you can equip. I have no idea where the comparison comes from.

sebmojo posted:i've seen the name a lot, how does it differ from diablo? In basically every way. The randomization comes from the fact that each time you go through a world, the layout will be different in terms of bosses and events. And each boss and each event gives different loot. So in order to get all the toys you have to run/reroll the world or each section of the world until you get what you want. Which, granted, feels kinda Diablo-y but isn't really.

Diablo has loot, so does Remnant. A correlation exists and that is enough for us to have a nice, meaty conversation with!

Which is to say that if you're not a fan of loot treadmills, it's good to go. For me the comparison is grinding maps for mob drops and to get to the random bosses through random maps. I think the real gamers in the audience can understand the diablo gamefeel comparison

Two or three days ago, while I was away from my main computer, I read here (I think, it might be a different thread where people talk about RPGs) that someone was asking about Wurm Unlimited, and whether it was worth getting. If you are that someone, drop your Steam or email because I have a spare key from Humble ages ago
