Prince rework Less powerful

Class/Lore/Fanfic
#161

The conclusion I ACTUALLY come to from this is that we should air on the side of making the NK as strong as possible so long as the specific change doesn’t cause any non-balance issues

#162

Major difference.

Bad balance is the absolute least problematic issue you can have.

#163

Besides maybe graphics

#164

nuke what

#165

fun is the most important right

#166

I’m serious. A well balanced but boring ability is more problematic than a wacky but insanely fun ability.

This is because balance is ultimately just a matter of doing the math and making the numbers fit, so you take the fun ability and then tweak the numbers until it’s balanced.

But an unfun ability can’t be solved that way. You need to look into what makes it unfun and get at some specific core problem which can be hard to identify and fixing it usually requires a full on rework.

The CW is a great example of this.

The fundumental core gameplay loop is the most important.

#168

Is that another definition for fun

#169

It’s a bit more specific

20$ for a bottle of fun

#171

I’m ordering it from hardest to fix to easiest to fix

and only counting mechanical issues

#172

Hardest to fix is the core gameplay loop

Easiest to fix is balance.

#173

This is why you design something with a clear purpose, draw and experience first and THEN balance it after you have done so.

#174

I agree with nuclear that something boring is more problematic ;p/

I don’t like it whens things like mercenary get reworked as-long though

That’s why I want to keep prince without completely removing it.

I think there’s ways of balancing things like old merc ect.

By the way

Where the heck are the new balance changes

All I have seen recently is fixing graphics and stuff

#176

They changed kings allies and mystic recently.

#177

we want new classes

R I O T

#178

That’s like nothing though.

#179

They are setting up a balance committee. So most major changes will have to wait for that

#180

it is to the meta and game it’s pretty massive for small changes.
