I understand, but you see the trick is that you build your character so that it can survive lag, disconnects, and looking away from the screen for a few seconds.

You're still trading a damage support gem for a utility support gem, depending on your links and setup that can hurt your damage significantly, especially if you're already using a support gem like Fortify.

I'd never use inc AoE gem in a Reave setup, but you can probably get away with it on softcore if your passive tree focuses more on damage. But you're probably going to die a lot more.

I like Sunder a LOT better than Reave, it has similar range to max stack Reave (slightly less) and yeah augmenting it with bleed explosions really pushes it over the top. If you ever drop stacks in Reave (including Vaal Reave stacks), you become significantly more likely to die, and it's a...

Nah, but if you're keeping up your Vaal Reave stacks it doesn't really matter, you just right click once in a general direction and everything dies. I've done Reave a couple of times now, and keeping up Vaal Reave stacks is not fun at all imo.

I've got map 3 paused at day 80 right now, but I have 0 Thanatos so far. The food sucks so much :(. Dunno if I'm gonna beat it, but I might.

Me too! You see, the trick is you build your character such that it can survive you being stoned.

The trick is you build your character in such a way that you can survive those. I promise you it's possible, people make it to 100 all the time. You should try it before dismissing it out of hand like that, see how far you can get you know.

Definitely.

If you hate dying so much, you should definitely play hardcore. Hardcore economy is definitely much better -- it's so much easier to sell mediocre items on hardcore because they keep getting deleted from the system.

I was really surprised how much more fun the game got on hardcore, it's definitely designed to be played that way. I haven't looked back since I made the switch in Talisman.

Nah, they come from all over depending on your sound output, which I haven't 100% figured out yet. I usually get my first set of runners between day 10 and 20, and if my patrols aren't properly staffed they can get overrun pretty easy.

If you're bored with softcore, you should play hardcore. If you're bored with hardcore, pick up They Are Billions for a bit and come back next league.

The doomtowns aren't usually too bad, it's the goddamn runners that come at you from all sides that really fucks up my early games. Doomtowns just limit where I place my first expansion -- this map start had two in sight from the get go, and a third just off screen.

Beat the second map at lunch, definitely an easier end game, but that start can be brutal sometimes.

Hmm, I definitely prefer vocals for my trip albums. What I really like are albums that are a little bit of everything, and have at least one truly awesome climax (e.g. Dark Side of the Moon's Money, or Random Access Memories' Touch and Contact). Albums that make the patterns do really cool...

Was a fucked situation tbh, and I could have played it better. Once I get snipers up and running map 2 seems much easier than map 1, however. I suspect I'll beat it tonight.

I lost on the last bit of the last fucking wave of map 2 despite having more than enough units because my command center placement was fucked from the start and couldn't fortify the weakest point of entry enough.

Anyone have any good albums for tripping to? My favorites so far have been Dark Side of the Moon (of course) and Random Access Memories. Discovery was pretty good, but I thought Too Long was too long, and A$AP Rocky's At Long Last was enjoyable, but lacked the emotional oomph of other albums...

Clear/expand to choke points, fortify choke points only. For the most part you should be able to get by with your units playing defense behind a hastily placed wall if a wave comes in from an unfortified direction. Make sure you have enough rangers patrolling around your base so that you don't...

Lightning is vaporware tho, it's either not going to be developed, or will be entirely different than what they're promising it can do now. Which is precisely the problem, they've intentionally kept transaction fees high because it's what the miners want, not what's best for the coin. Nah...

Finally got the first map on 100%, and Peaceful Lowlands is kicking my ass with these runner packs.

Are you going all-in on this right from the start, or do you have a backup plan in case you can't make back your initial stake?

Strong sign that Ethereum is going to be a much more stable investment, imo.

Woops wrong thread.

I did the same thing, but my reaction is to walk away entirely from any new Final Fantasy title. FFXV was just so, so bad for that hour I played it, I can't bring myself to play it any longer.

No they don't...

You've seen your avatar and title right? How are you not a hipster.

I think it's pretty clear that if you can build 10 tents, it's the superior route to go, but yes eventually you will want to upgrade rather than build new due to space requirements. How it usually ends up playing out in my games is that I'll build some tents wherever I can until I can expand...

Some stats on tents vs cottages vs stone houses: Comparison of the housing resource:cost ratios • r/TheyAreBillions

Build tents until you can't build anymore, make sure you have plenty of food and energy to build tents! Tents are life!

Yup, and once something clicks it will make sense. It gets easier and easier to make it to the later days the more you play.

Looks like it's bouncing back, but we'll see. Does anyone know what triggered this? Can't believe a whale or two could trigger a ~$400 billion drop in the total market cap.

I've made it to day 60 at 100% so far...this game is really hard. I love it, but wish I could re-play the same map sometimes. I'm having trouble expanding past day 35 or so, can't clear zombies fast enough to move my base walls out while keeping up with incoming waves. I thought this last run...

Massive losses in the crypto space this morning, probably a pretty good time to buy in.

Yeah, rare mobs with the Nemesis mod will apply one stack every time you hit it, and blue mobs with the Bloodline mod will apply one stack when they die. It's pretty potent, I once lost a Blade Flurry Raider to it at 90 with assloads of phys% mitigation, didn't even have time to pop a flask.

Nah, dots and added damage don't work that way. You probably just tanked from the bleed, was it corrupting blood?

I think Ripple has a pretty strong use case for bankers, and its centralized architecture is set up pretty well for it. That said, it has all the hallmarks of a scam coin, and if Ripple doesn't take off I'd be surprised if the founders stick with it. Lightning network of course promises all of...

The game really comes into its own in t13+ maps in Hardcore, imo. The sweet spot of danger and excitement.
