once again you have massively misrepresented what i've said, the only thing i have actually suggested needs changing is daze. that is the only thing i've even mentioned possibly needing change. the most i have asked for with the ambush and mahir was tips to making those fights easier, that's not asking for change at all, in fact i don't even know how you are even able to misconstrue that as me saying "this sucks, change it" that's me literally saying "i'm fucking sucking right now, can i get some help?". me saying "i need help" is nowhere near similar to saying that "something needs to be changed".
Viewing post in Gameplay/Mechanics Discussion
This is just a miscommunication between you and Bitshift but I am putting my two cents here because it hurts to see Bitshift having to engage in this conversation alone.
Disclaimer, I did not read everything written because it was hard to read both of you trying to defend yourselves, but the tone of your first post "daze needs to be nerfed" screams "this sucks, change it" and not "i need help". It becomes reasonable for Bitshift to respond the way he did just because of that one line of word. The first words to convey a message, not just yours, is going to set the tone of the rest of the conversation.
Besides, I have many frustrations towards the mechanics of the game, but I loved them because I played it in a more self-inserting way. The frustration doesn't just see Mezz breaking down but it broke me down too. I think that is hella fun! I want his future game to have the same level of RNG frustrations so I can have my own "superhero mode" broken down.
But I understand that not everyone is going to enjoy it. I didn't at first. (tangent)Its just because how I like the writing of this game that just makes me come back for more RNG beating (end of tangent). So its understandable some player will hope its not what it is and want it changed.
My final opinion is this conversation should end. Lets put it this way: now we know you are not demanding change, thanks for making it clear. Written words are always not easy to understand unless you're some kind of master of telepathy and empathy. And I am sorry if what I decide to add here just fueled more problems to either of you. I just couldn't keep my mouth shut.
yeah so you lack major context, and even the posts you did see you hadn't read carefully enough. i had already admitted that i was asking/suggesting change for daze. the point of me asking for help was Bit lumping in other posts i had made, where i was asking for help, with my asking for change with daze and making it seem like i was demanding change with those posts too.
Yeah, I think this is down to the limits of text communication, because the vibe ALL of your posts have given to me is that of frustration with the game and wishing it was different. "X should be nerfed" is literally a call to make a change to game mechanics. And again, there's nothing wrong with that, I've changed many things in the game since release due to feedback. I probably won't be making major changes now, but I'm still open to hearing ideas and feedback. But your tone, along with the continued downvoting of my comments has been oddly, overly harsh. Not enough to merit a ban or anything, it's just confusing and makes communication more difficult. If you really just want help, great, I'm glad to do what I can, and I've been trying to. But why are you so hostile? If you're really just frustrated with various things you're struggling with in the game, great, I'm glad to help with that. But the way you're phrasing it comes across as personal, as a frustration or attack on ME.
Which again, I'm not offended by (though it is a little annoying), especially if it's genuinely accidental, but it has made for some very confusing reading.
Regardless, I think we're talking past each other to some extent. I hope at least some of what I was able to offer helped to some degree though.
well i am frustrated, so far you've mischaracterized what i've said countless times, tried to belittle my struggling with the game as just "you don't understand the mechanics" or "i don't like it, change it", i would have left it at one post here as i understand why you aren't going to be changing anything in GT but then you so rudely mischaracterized it as me going "but it's unfair" like i was someone having a tantrum even though this community thread is quite literally for people to discuss what they do and don't like about the game. so yeah i've been greatly frustrated in this thread because you came of very (and unnecessarily) rude in your initial reply to my daze post and then you got even ruder as you kept replying. there has only been 1 reply from you in this thread that i hadn't downvoted which is so far the only reply where i didn't see you being rude. and i can see how i may be coming off a bit angry or abrasive due to my frustrations with some of your rude comments but i have absolutely not been hostile in my replies. most of my replies here has been me defending myself and my posts from your mischaracterizations. i would have loved to have kept this thread short and without anger but that's kinda hard when you've been frankly quite rude. and yes some of your advise outside of this thread was helpful but unfortunately has been overshadowed by this thread.
Nothing I've said has been meant as an attack on you. Pointing out that you may be missing something or doing something wrong when it comes to gameplay isn't being rude, it's just the give and take of discussing problems someone is having with the game. Sometimes the problem is with the game, sometimes it's with the player (usually it's a mix, as it may well be in this case). I can see how the "unfair" comment might have been overly harsh, and I'm sorry for that, but again that wasn't the intention; I was just try to get at what I believed the gist of your complaint was, that the rng and unavoidability of Daze made it obnoxious and "unfair" because there's not really a counter to it.
But again, I think we're talking across each other at this point, so I'll leave it here.
