reality check

now I'm wondering if there are actual slime blocks in the game
shame that all the wikis I've seen so far are half-empty

 

So if mods solve all your problems, why do you expect the main game and audience to accept your view and mod themselves?

A bit of a chicken or egg scenario, but it's only logical that the game progresses however it pleases and those that want something different mod it.

In case you need a hint - game gets more balanced, if you don't like it, you don't yell at people discussing how to make it more balanced, you mod it instead of telling them to mod.

 

Oh yeah, good idea. I did try to carry climbing ropes with me after those were added, but I failed hard at attaching to anything, lol... much in the same way I fail hard aiming the bow

 

A game that is easy for me to exploit my chances and win by taking the easy way, I'd say that the replayability will plummet like no tomorrow. The excitement factor dwiddles down to nothing. Don't pass GO, don't collect $200, and all of your adrenaline is gone since being low on health and you are in a middle of a dungeon, you can employ blocks in the way and win your way to victory!

No thanks. Why not the difficulty like Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden, Rogue Legacy, blah blah blah. Then you have a sense of accomplishment when you achieve your goal.

Play the game how you like it...ha. This is a sandbox game where there are thousands of ways to accomplish something. If you want to take the easy way, you are only cheating yourself in the process.

 

There is no such thing as "mechanical aspect of the normal way the game functions". That doesn't even exist right now.

It is in development. A fucking beta. Everything can change. How hard is it to understand that? And the devs particularly ASKED FOR feedback, about everything.
Anything that is considered bad will be spoken about. Mechanics will change. Patches will be implemented. But Starbound will thrive. This great game will survive.

Also, please keep using the faulty "what I do while playing doens't affect anyone's game" philosophy. It will keep undermining your credibility.

 

"Reality check:
The developers have asked for feedback on how the community feels the game should be balanced. If you see suggestions that people have made that you don't like, then go voice your opinion about it in their thread. But I don't think a simple "It doesn't effect you" is going to be sufficient evidence that their point is moot."

'nuff said.

 

These are bugs and exploits, the devs want you to report them and they want to make their game challenging. The average player will always take the path of least resistance, and that's a serious issue when the path of least resistance is extremely broken, like being able to wall monsters off and kill them with no threat. This was not intended, don't complain about the developers fixing bugs because you can no longer easily exploit yourself through the content. Luckily in the last patch they made this more difficult, I'm looking forward to more changes that will decrease exploiting and allow the game to be played the way the developers imagined it.

 

They're there, in the slime biomes. I had one on my starter planet last time around.

This time all my starter planet has is crazy murderous asshole birds.

 

Yup. There are slime blocks. Slime does ocassionally have poison near it though, but it's really easy to mine, so it's your friend if you're ore-hunting. Oh, and yes, it's green.

 

hah, I remember my first time running into one of those
bastard shot me with this laser sniper rifle that I totally want now

 

we need foam to stop the hulk in that movie people try to forget. Also the melee bug is fixed so I don't see how block placement should be nerfed at this point. Let people play how they want. No matter how much you want to nerf the game a mod will undo that and people will still play the way you don't want them to. The majority should not pay for the acts of the cheesing minority.

 

That's not possible because if I did that it would spamming the 50 threads there are about block blocking .

Not replying to post above below this line


What is this Verizon stuff lol

I know its a beta I'm not a retard nor do I not comprehend what a beta entitles. What I also understand is that people want to change the BIGGEST aspect of this game all because we can block monsters with it. That's a load of garbage.

Also this thread was so that people can not post crap like that everywhere and oh!

You want to talk to me about suggestions and me modding MY game? Where's my suggestion at bro? I don't see any! My point was not a change in the game it was against core mechanical changes others wanted!

 

Oh yes, let's rely on the mod makers to balance the game properly. BRILLIANT IDEA!!! Chucklefish, your work is done, the mod makers can take it from here.

 

The best part of this conversation was the bit about slime blocks.

 

Once again sarcasm doesn't validate anything.

Taking my post to an extreme and making it that doesn't do anything for you so good job chief.

Block placement isn't balancing anything!,ita only stopping people for a simple solution and making it harder on people who want to use it for other things. So congrats you stopped the block place now people will just memory edit the game for invulnerability.

The only reason I block monsters in is to chop down trees anyways so this post isnt really relating to me.

 

That's like telling me not to complain about being able to duplicate items (WHICH COMPLETELY RUINS THE POINT OF A 3D PRINTER!). Of course I'm going to do it but it still ruins the experience.

 

You're just ruining your own experience. Nobody is telling you to. You have a choice.

That's like smoking a pack a day and telling everyone its because they taste too good but in reality you are just ruining yourself

 

Honesty I don't mind if people use blocking. When this was a problem I was more concerned about having to use it regardless because of broken mechanics. As it stands now, go nuts. Not to sound condescending but no one cares anymore.

 

I guess you didn't get it, but the OP is basically telling me not to report it to the devs because I don't HAVE to dupe items.

 

I haven't felt the need to take you seriously. I'm sorry, please excuse me, let me try again.

Memory editing a game is not the same as utilizing a method of circumventing much of the game's content and balance that effectively undermines the core features. While both tactics accomplish this, the difference is that one was achieved by someone explicitly cheating while the other was a downfall in game design.

I've already stated why your opinion is invalid IMHO, and what you should be doing instead of ranting and raving and making a useless topic. If you wanted to be productive, you would have tackled your problem in a different manner... perhaps making a suggestion in the suggestion board telling the developers why you enjoy blocking off animals and why it should remain as a legitimate tactic in the game. Instead you've chosen to degrade your opinion to a simple rant on a general discussion board.

Do you see why I can't take you seriously now? You feel to me as nothing more than a troll using a line like "Reality check". I simply couldn't keep myself from mocking you, just as you simply cannot keep yourself from ranting about people who think blocking monsters should be a tactic heavily discouraged in the game.
