I'm joining the club. Just had my absolute most CRACKED OUT run ever ruined because of The Mouth. Negative Hiker, Holo Hack (+Blueprint), Wee Joker, and DNA. The Trio coming along for fun. I nabbed a Polychrome Red Seal 2, and had it duped to the point I was reliably pulling it 5x in any given round. Red Seals make them play twice, Hack retriggered them, Blueprint doubled the Hack. This both juiced the gently caress out of the two's via Hiker, but also juiced the gently caress out of wee joker, up to 1.2k by the time I tripped over The Mouth. GREEDY FOR MORE RED SEAL POLYCHROMES. I really wanted to see how far into Endless this one was going to take me. Ante 11 I guess. Best hand at run death was 747 Million. E: Cursed snipe.

54 hours in and I finally saw my last legendary, Canio. Cripes. And of course I never saw a way to destroy cards the entire run.

There are some tarot and spectral cards that let you destroy cards.

Yeah and I opened every pack I saw. Not a single Hanged Man, Emperors didn't help me out, and not one more Spectral pack.

So far the only thing I've noticed is Runner, Square Joker and Wee Joker all start at 0 now, with the first two getting a slight increase in scaling as well (Runner from 10 to 15, Square from 4 to 5) e: Bloodstone was nerfed to 1.5x. Vampire is uncommon again Barry Shitpeas fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Apr 27, 2024 |

I did notice Square was at 5 now, but wasn't sure if that was in the last patch or not.

Post-change Square Joker takes 18 procs to start being better than pre-change Square Joker. At 4 hands per blind, that's really not very long. Runner takes 6 procs, which............pretty sure it's still garbage, I dunno.

What's puzzling me is the nerf to Wee Joker, which is quite minuscule.

Tbh I've had some success with runner. If you can pick it up early enough it's usually not too bad to just win some easy blinds with straights and then just coast with your +100 or so chips. It's probably still worse than most other chip jokers, but also chip jokers are uncommon and sometimes you just gotta take what you get.

Man, Glass Joker and glass cards in general do not want to show up. Zodiac worked for Stone Joker, but I think I'm going back to ghost deck and trying to get early spectral packs for early enhanced cards/glassMJeff posted:Post-change Square Joker takes 18 procs to start being better than pre-change Square Joker. At 4 hands per blind, that's really not very long. The main problem is that almost every time I've picked up a Runner it's because I have zero chip cards for the base 20. New Runner I probably don't touch unless I have an early Short Cut.

 Down to the final 5! Ancient Joker and The Tribe are such dead weight, I tried the Checkered Deck thing and didn't realize that Ancient Joker can roll suits you don't have. Even on the flush deck, I found myself trying to hide The Tribe in a Baseball Card comp For the legendaries my thought is go Anaglyph and cash in on spectral tags, that's got to be the most bites at the apple

Tea Party Crasher posted:They nerfed bloodstone??? I haven't played the beta branch but I believe they upped the proc chance from 1/3 to 2/3. So compared to the main branch this means it'll be more consistent but won't have the same blowout potential.

Bloodstone on main is 1/3 for 2x mult Bloodstone was 1/2 for 2x mult on beta Now it's 1/2 for 1.5x mult.

What would be some fun drinking rules for a Balatro party? I'm having some fellow Jokerheads over next weekend. So far I've come up with When the Boss Blind is defeated When someone scores 5-of-a-Kind When a Rare Joker is purchased

I’m pretty sure it hasn’t worked for me ever in ~10 tries. Meanwhile I was watching the Remap folks and they hit 3 straight wheel of fortunes. definitely rigged

I have heard from reliable sources that the developer logs in and personally activates the Wheel of Fortune cards, and it only triggers if he likes you.

Also that bloodstone change actually doesn't sound to bad. I would rather have consistency over a chance to pop off that doesn't come

I'm slightly miffed by the nerf because hours earlier I had a run get to e23 off the back of two bloodstones, blueprinted hack, and oops all 6s to trigger the bloodstones 100%
