It's not that I dislike it, I just don't think it's a matter of skill in this case, because of how much extra mettle disproportionately affects the ranking. Which is the thing that you don't like. (I would describe myseld as being more ambivalent about it; it's acceptable when not excessive) Is a 4...

... Noticing that and just adding more mettle to the run so that I can get a better place superficially, while barely adding any difficulty, doesn't make me a better player I think we will have to disagree here. Disliking this kind of metagaming is a valid preference (equally valid as the alternati...

xKiv

That's literally exactly my point. The sidekick can't make enough difference to actually bridge the significant gap, even against a newb char. Which means the mettle added is far more valuable than the sidekick itself when it comes to mettle/time spent. You seem to be stuck on the idea that 1 mettl...

..., but factoring in the mettle kind of skews it so that a slower run can outrank faster runs. So the competition isn't just being the best at a particular difficulty setting, but also about picking the difficulty settings so that you make the best daycount you can, while hitting the spot where yo...

My openings support looks roughly like this: stratList['FarmTAF'] = 'S:1024;S:153!throwawayfoe'; note that opening IDs seem to be strings, or at least were when I last tested this then in processStrategy I have: } else if(selectedAction[0] == 'S') { var found = false; var skillPars = selectedAction[...

Could the 'Take an Opening' line in combat somehow indicate that the set of available openings changed since last round? This is obvious when the set changed from/to empty, or if the first available opening changed, but that's not always the case. I have specifically noticed this in the ice-9 fight,...

5. One thing that surprised and delighted me is that yule blocks work on scaling enemies. This almost makes up for only being able to use one effect per battle, since it's a 1 hit KO for S7G (and you even get some chips). - It doesn't seem to count as a s7g kill (at least in my journal), so it's ni...

Could we please get account option to set sizes of the UI frames? Left frame (character pane) is too narrow for some location names and effect names (so I get broken lines, and don't see as many effects as I could, until I manually drag the frame). Right frame (chat pane) would be better for me when...

So ... I don't like this "throw away foe". It's too dickstabby. Incentivizes taking spell damage *penalties* and prolonging combats against undesirable foe (for arbitrarily many skipped turns). And it doesn't seem to be limited (I counted 31, and before that did a few more that I didn't co...

I'll play with it next week and see whether I can get it to play nicely with everything else. Played around some with Select2 and Chosen (its parent). Both have some pretty unfortunate quirks, particularly on smaller displays. I'll keep poking around. If I can find a way that works consistently, I'...

Hmm .. looking for ion stones in my assembly item list made me think ... it would be nice if browsers had a filter/search functionality in their input/select/comboboxes (I first saw this on my phone's browser) - you type in a few letters and the selection only shows matching items.

Do you mean optimal? I meant non-optimal, because, as you yourself realized, any time can be reduced by 1 minute with enough resources ...

I think it might be slightly better (at least it would better answer whatever question I think I should have been asking) to say - you can be (invited) member of any number of leagues, but you can only be active in one at a time - you cannot reject your invitation, but you can freely choose in which...

I think people here are putting too much "ass" into their assumptions. There's a huge difference between the math in the game's conceptual mechanics, the math in the code, our observation in the wiki, and the math we derive from those observations. There's also a huge difference between ma...

Googling various variants of the phrase leads to some potterible online game, and some fanfics. Nothing that would give me a clue, though.

... EDIT: I'd like to see the argument that says league villains should be the main/fastest source of prestige. An important source, sure. But why the main one? This isn't a bad point.

stuff I would have no problems with more prestige meaning that more league villains (if I didn't think that's against design goals, and unbalanced [1]). What I have problem with is the mechanic of *spending prestige* to "cause" another league villain. In-game, that's either the league doi...

I feel like maybe prestige should be used for getting away with something that would normally get you in trouble. That *would* work with the idea of unleasing more league-battlefield-monsters, but I don't like that. That's "You unleashed WHAT on the city?" territory, not superhero-worthy a...
