Sometimes you just gotta bet it all on a 10 pip rainbow nonsense side

 As completely busted as a couple sides that give infinite mana and shields are, I still managed to almost wipe against an Inevitable x2 (or x3 maybe?). Heaven into Nightmare is a very fun way to play.

Is it just me or are the autogenerated heroes often really bad? I’m doing runs on the generate mode and have a hard time getting anywhere.

They seem to have changed how generate heroes generate from before the big patch, they're almost always horribly lopsided towards the left or left/middle faces with the rest being blank or 1 pip worthless sides generally, and it makes them mostly really bad even if the random tactics/spells can be neat.

Knowing Tann, (hiiiii :3), there's a decent chance it is truly random, and true randomness often feels less random than a curated one. The original iPod random song system had to be tweaked because it was actually random, and people complained that it was giving weird patterns and playing the same songs over and over. It was later changed to a weighted system where recently played songs were less likely to play for a while if I recall. Actual randomness fits poorly with the human brain which is over tuned to find patterns. Things like adding keywords could have skewed the odds around on a truly random set of sides as well. But I don't have any inside info on how the heroes are generated

Having the option to lock landscape would save me some minor annoyance. Rascyc posted:I would really like this feature too, I'm also part of the "never going to enable auto rotate ever" club. Yeah, same. I don't use auto-rotate and never will.

I think Orange and Green generated heroes are typically the biggest offenders of 2 sides, one with 12 pips, one with 1. Probably because there’s so many actual heroes in those pools with few sides and big pips. Blue/yellow also guilty based on rolling a Student/Eccentric type distribution. I think you notice it less with non-Gen runs because you only pick bad distributions when you have items to make up for it. Also the stock heroes have better sides when they have few sides. Sometimes you get that gen green with a Revive 4 and nothing else, or the Gen orange with an Attack 11 and a Cloak and that’s it.

Managed to clear Brutal! Shoutout to monster era which contributed 13 points but is pretty manageable if you get a good start. Had to do it in choose party mode and drop in a cat to powerlevel my heroes  I'm now messing with textmod and trying to generate my own monsters. It's a really stupendously flexible system -- only issue at the moment is that for monsters there's no way to randomly add them into the pool so once I'm done I'll probably assemble a paste mode that has a few hard-coded fights. quote:

I guess someone might tell me I'm wrong, but I feel like I'm 99% sure that toggle only applies to the dice (for those people who can't get rid of the nagging thought that the physics engine doesn't supply sufficiently random rolls)

The generated heroes sure are something: The bonus on the cat is an additional L0 green hero, completely defeating the purpose of the cat.

tbh that sounds more like a higher level one, like T2 or something - that'd be great for deathwish too
