"Normal expectations" is "use an item" or "visit firebird college", so that could mean anything. Craft an item, hit a particular encounter, use skills/combat items in a particular sequence, let a sidekick "upgrade" themselves by gaining (hidden) experience in ...

Have PP regeneration, use skills that can't miss (spells, animal kung-foolery).
You can also use items for stunning (and even damage, though that will not scale well).

Or don't buff your attributes (str, int, ref); instead buff your to-hit and critical hit chance.

Looks like I will be settling for much lamer spots

Base PP: 1
XP: 5

I think I had the opposite "problem" there (couldn't find Static, fought many Hovercrafts). Either it's cruel[1] RNG, or there's something else going on.

[1] there is no other RNG.

That's not nearly ultra enough. As evidenced by the lack of color.

That's how long? In general, if I throw all my turns at a UR zone, I would expect about one UR every two months (or something like that), on average. Getting URs is a long-term project.

How did that happen? And who's asking 10 stars for something that's 200 chips in the mall?

Vegetables: 149/181

I haven't had a vegetable in a long time, so ... I think I need vegetable limit explained to me. Is it per retcon?

xKiv

I don't think I didn't (and can't believe I didn't yet) ask for consumption info somewhere (character page probably). Often I don't remember how much sugar/coffee I had today already. (I usually remember that I had zero vegetables).

So I just tried this. It gets much worse. They can't kill me in the first round. I am getting crowns about every 5 turns, because free runaways fom almost everything else except smeet. #surrounded by enormous piles of HP #froggies may rule (ETA: also, one frog falls in the first round just from my s...

I have been finding the ghost about every 15-20 turns, while keeping my non-combat buffs going (to help with the frogs). Maybe fighting the tougher foes in the frusion non-combats helps find the ghost? Anyway, frusion foes are much easier to beat as an Elemental (with some cross-class skills) than ...

Is it evil enough to *scale*?

Can we get timestamps in chat? It often moves very slowly, and I often open the tab and do other things, and then I get back and see maybe one line posted in the past few hours, and don't know how out of date it is.

If you want to waste resources, you only need to figure out what to pay others to sell you their quarter chips.

hammering should give you a lead pipe. That would be broken ... (and by that I mean the *pipe* would be broken. A broken lead pipe. Not usable for replacing). Is the lead pipe consumed?

There should be a way to streamline the process, Use full +nc throughout. Farm lead pipes using free runaways (I use godmother's carriages before midnight, ouch's clown makeups after). Be able to do thousands of damage in one strike (I suspect the mechanic is "if done_damage>limit then decreas...

xKiv

Is there any benefit to releasing more tadpoles after the future "may be saved"? The obvious effect is that I have to waste more turns fighting tadpoles before I can start replacing pipes.

Doesn't it require passable pilot anyway?

I have been wondering one thing (not that it will apply to me anytime soon) ... to be in running for the too hard scoring, when do I need to equip the talisman? Anytime before first patrol?

You are breaking that wrong. It's re-sting.

The ones in ancient crypts (and presumably other oldest-and-strongest-emotion zones) *were* affected. Slap frusion plus two more "harder" modifiers on those, and it can go beyond nintendo hard.

Any chance a kind person will post a transcript/summary (or am I blind)?

Does anyone else have an issue with the new-ish AA script double using whatever it's set to use first? For instance, when I have it set to use all throwing stars and then attack, it tries to use the black hole twice before moving on to the second star in the list. Or if I use my option for a recogn...

"slivers"?

I assumed it's a color thing: green (salad), silver (metal).

Thanks. It brings one immediate point to attention, though - I have virtual lad's goggles set to "enemy fumbles". Description of the item puts the standard "Fumble and critical hit values are capped at +/- 20%." footnote on that, but it's not listed in my "capped bonuses&quo...

Whoa, we are going the get an entire set of kitchenware, eventually?

I wonder what exactly is "better the longer it is in the family". Doing heirloom runs with that particular reward?

Also ... "secret reward". Hmm. What could that be for.

Can we get some sort of overview page with total modifiers -- from all equipment, effects, passives, etc... ? Right now, when I want to know if equipping something would hit a modifier limit (critical chance, combat rate) or some other sort of magic number, I have to keep track of everything myself ...

My point was that if we can't use math to solve it, then we have to rely on experience and skill. Isn't experience and skill what makes it gameplay? Otherwise, it's just... Progress Quest. I only read about PQ, but doesn't it have all the math on the server side? Doing the math on *my* side can mak...

It's a balancing thing. It's very difficult to define exactly what's right, but simple to tell when something is wrong. I think that this either doesn't address what I wrote, or proves it. Define "difficult", "define exactly", "right", "wrong". But separately...

Once again, I don't dislike meta gameplay of this sort. I just don't think it works well in this specific case, because it's too discrete. It works better when you have a continuous domain to work on. A lot of strategy and tower defense games make good use of it. I still think this is a matter of p...
