Personally, I’m flexible with changes to the challenges but I imagine some might be up in arms if changes were made here. Maybe as additions; we’ve been getting new classes and mobs, why not challenges? I think I like Curses the most but this just empowers the cleric even more and I’m of the opinion that the class should be taken down a peg or two. Hostile Lands seems like a good newbie challenge but could also be annoyingly run-ending early on. I would think the mage would be, next to hunter, best suited for Fragile. Duelist tears.

To be fair, when you’re playing multi-challenges, particularly 9, the other classes get crippled as well; not just warrior. Barren Land and hunter for example. But I agree, warrior is pretty decent without FIMA.

I don’t think much will change since the dev has mentioned the game isn’t really balanced for multi-challenges. But he was open to tweaking the warrior after the rework and now is probably a good time to tighten the class. So maybe if you present a more thorough case, something could change.

After you opt to join, the prompt window in the Play Store mentions it takes some time to get enrolled. Usually it’s a couple of minutes but sometimes it takes a few hours.

This was an issue in v1.0.269. It has been fixed so you just need to update the app. You may need to join the beta if you don’t see an update option. Joining the beta can be done on the Play Store or App Store of your device.

It seems if this specific change was intended as a buff, it may be a bit of a nerf. Now, when you have just a few points of shielding after a fight, you hold a meagre shield rather than going into reset right away. On the other hand, if you had most of your shielding in tact, that means the fight was ideal and minimal damage was sustained. And you would get a reduced immediate cooldown previously. It just seems like the worser case scenario got worse and the better one got rewarded.

Just thought I’d provide some feedback and I’m not looking for any change or reversal. It was manageable before and I’ll manage with the current mechanics.

Personally, I don’t see it as clashing. The gladiator is the more active sub-class and currently, in the situation where you’re about to kill an enemy but your shield is up, strategically, you should not end the combo and be in search for your next fight. Your shield will be in cooldown but you have combo built up ready for a finish and reset. The gladiator should be played differently than the berserker.

But the change you proposed shouldn’t be game-breaking and it’ll make some players happy so I’m not opposed to it or anything. It’s probably a good change.

I think overall the change is supposed to be a buff in terms of the damage mitigated by shielding; in total. You do have to actively manage it, to leverage the benefits, as opposed to before. It does require a shift in gameplay and tactics. I like the change because it seems more powerful overall; provided you min-max.

I agree with the other comment that the gladiator may be able to better exploit the change through Lethal Defense.

One thing I found interesting is the shielding doesn’t degrade over time as long as an enemy is in view. This can be useful if you’re farming/levelling and there’s a room with a piranha pool in the middle; giving you a bit of control if you disposed of a mob and took minimal damage.

Certain trinkets are more useful now, if say you got them through the random selection. I’m thinking of the vial of blood in particular. At +3, 10 dew gives pretty much a full heal. I imagine 5 would be enough to help hover around 50% health. I haven’t gotten the vial on a recent warrior yet so I can’t confirm. But 5 is quite easy to obtain.

Do you give it gin?

I generally would welcome a hermit crab most of the time since dispatching one isn’t too difficult and has a good chance of netting you an armour, which could be quite helpful.

But definitely, the scenario could also be the straw that breaks the camel’s back in certain situations. I think a low(maybe 10% would be better) rate of this occurring and halving subsequently may make it manageable. I’ve killed 9 in total so far and they aren’t that bad.

This should’ve been fixed in beta 1.2. 1.4 is the current version. Are you on 1.2 or higher?

Could you expand on that? I think this trinket a trap and not good at all. While it makes you harder to hit, it also makes enemies harder to hit. There is a limiting factor to making guaranteed hits; via wands, spells, etc. If you’re able to make those hits the majority of your attacks then in my opinion, this trinket augments your firepower rather than makes an already strong build OP.

The only time I might consider this trinket is if you exploit dropping it when firing your bow and picking it up for melee. Even then, personally, since I play with multiple challenges, I’d rather amass resources with the mimic’s tooth, rat skull, shard of oblivion, etc.

You just need to tap on that Join button to update to v271. I thought v269 was part of the beta as well but I guess not.

After you upload a picture with Connect, you should get a URL. Under the area where you input your comment, there’s a toolbar of buttons. The leftmost one can be used to insert multiple pictures.

v271 is the latest version so I’m not sure why it’s not showing up. Maybe search for Connect for Lemmy and see if that refreshes with the update option?

Sometimes bugs are intermittent so who knows. I rarely download images so I might not even notice it. So it’s good to have different perspectives.

I’m not seeing the problem on v1.0.269 or v271. After tapping on the image, I can see the download button at the bottom and tapping on the three dots at the bottom right brings up a context menu that also has a download button. If this isn’t the case for you, what version are you on? The version can be seen at the top of the Settings page.

On the Block List page, if you scroll down using the left side of the screen, you should see the list of communities and blocked users. If you visit your home blahaj.zone and view your Blocks page in Settings, the communities and users you block in Connect should also be on this list.

If the above is not the case, what version of Connect are you using? The version can be found at the top of Settings.

I was going to ask the same thing. I like all of the new obstacle dungeon items but for the barrels specifically, I think many will initially think they could be interactable. In many RPGs, barrels are destructible. It seems weird that fire at least wouldn’t burn them down.

True… but think of the sweet loot. I was surprised by the two items as well but then I checked the dev notes mention extra loot so I presume it’s not uncommon to get two.

Finally ran into one myself. Luckily it was on a hunter; probably the best matchup. While I was a fresh level 2 on floor 2, it did take a lot of volleys before it fell. But I got a nice leather armor and a wand of regrowth out of it. So generally more worthwhile than an animated statue.

But yeah, exiled knolls will attack from 2 squares away, with it wielding a spear and all. And spear damage can get up there. I suspect if I wasn’t on a hunter, I’d probably ended up in the same fate.

I understand the buffs are to counteract the data on overall player win rate. In short, I believe balancing the potential is better for the long-term. But I get for the shorter, or at least current term, bridging and balancing may be better.

The holy tome and the arsenal that it brings. It covers everything; from defense to offense, and utility like curse detection. I play with 5 challenges and the consistency the cleric provides in win rates is a cut above the others. Hunter and warrior are the next best. Wand of regrowth and ring of wealth are top tier. To give an idea of some of my extreme views.
