| Lopen 09/13/18 1:05:19 AM #117 | Yeah I'm just saying I think Kanzaris exploiting you being overconfident with your stronger team by using weird tricks and causing you to spiral out of control is... pretty much exactly what happened in mercs 3 without any life issues at work. Like he definitely had a similar team to mine in that regard with the ability to pull out surprising moves and win matches that are losing on paper. Probably not my level of goading though so it's entirely possible you would've seen his stuff coming without the life handicap. I'm just saying it's disrespectful to Kanzaris's play to say you 100% would have won. I certainly don't feel it was a lock. But yeah on the player/admin relation end I don't think you were smacked down by the admins much in general. If anything we probably partially enabled the problems to begin with by working with you a bit too much. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/13/18 12:53:16 AM #102 | I think Kanzaris could have beaten you either way. Life events putting you on tilt made it easier for him to be sure but the fact that he had a path to victory at all in a 1v8 says something. I think I proved in Mercs 3 that you can be tilted by purely in game stuff as well so I mean, it's certainly possible he could've exposed that weakpoint regardless. --- No problem!

| Lopen 09/13/18 12:18:03 AM #75 | DeathChicken posted... I actually think it was more glaring in Mid than it was in Low. A 4 sitting in Low is irritating, but wouldn't necessarily mean all of your 3s in the fight were ignored. In Mid you were burning a slot to bring in like, Revan and shit. At that point the fight totally becomes "Revan eats all these jobbers, the other 6 eats his jobbers and this may as well have been a one on one duel" You might be onto something here. Part of the solution might be less removing paydowns and more limiting them. I thought 4s to low were completely fine pretty much at all the time for example. 6s to mid were kinda too strong for the price paid. 7s to mid actually weren't too ridiculous when you think about it cause the cost was actually high. Sure Dante usually soloed but it cost a lot to do so. If it was on a slightly less dominant merc than Dante it might actually not matter as much. Like if you just changed the mechanic to: 4s can go to low for an additional roster slot + 4 GP 6s can go to mid for two additional roster slots + 12 GP (basically making them 7s for paydowns mechanically) No other paydowns are allowed Rather than making it a super generic thing, it might just work out of the box. But I like the idea of trying to limit them through other mechanics as well instead of just upping the GP cost and hard walling more mercs off. --- No problem!

Another reposition user is like, neat, but not a sell. How do you guys still need more reposition fodder though seriously. I have nearly enough for everyone I want to use it on, have been using it fairly liberally, and I'm actually merging my Selenas drawn at 4* too.

| Lopen 09/12/18 11:12:33 PM #65 | Here's the reason why you can't outright be rid of pay downs btw. The burden of balanced team composition, particularly in the early-mid game, becomes too high without it. Unless everyone went lowbie heavy, you'd have a bunch of matches where it's 2v0, or 3v1 stomp, or whatever. This is what happens if you tier lock until teams have like 10 mercs each. If you don't tier lock at all, then the weaker mercs become obsolete at all times. And at the same time no one wants to wait till 2/3s of the way into the game to see Samus Aran have a match either. So paydowns are a necessary evil I think, but they need to be balanced properly. With new mechanics they could be, I feel. You could also make them a thing you could do early game, but gradually phase it out as the game progresses, since as I said I think once you have pretty big rosters it becomes less of a problem. --- No problem!

| Topic | Mercenaries 5 Unveiling Topic: Now Hiring! [New Game] |
| Lopen 09/12/18 11:01:03 PM #60 | I think paydowns are still a neat mechanic, they were just too effective for what they were-- not enough cost. I like the idea of them triggering and interacting with the fatigue mechanic I was talking about before. And also FACING A TEAM THAT HAS PAID DOWN UNITS? BONUS AP. WE COULD EVEN MAKE PAYING DOWN COST SOME OF YOUR PASSIVE AP FOR THE WEEK. NOTHING THIS MECHANIC CAN'T FIX. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/12/18 10:36:17 PM #48 | Man the more and more I think about this, the more and more I really like the mechanics AP can add to the game. For example, you could make low ranked players get an AP bonus for the match if they're declared on by a high ranked player. You could make declaring on the guy with the bounty, once the bounty gets high enough, give bonus AP. You could get bonus AP if you declare on a guy and DON'T defer Just so many cool things you could do with this idea. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/12/18 10:33:54 PM #46 | It's a recharge that costs more, is basically the only difference. I think Chris is correct though that hoarding ability uses is fundamentally a big part of why there isn't more fighting, and with enough fodder mercs to "exhaust" you'd still run into that problem. I'd rather resources to use more abilities be an up front price rather than just a potential one that needs to be punished. Spending GP as Chris said to do it works, but I think that your counterpoint of there becoming a point where the spending GP to earn a win is foolish makes sense and it'd be largely a trap mechanic. Spending AP that you don't auto-replenish works. Ultimately the problem is that exhausting mercs you aren't necessarily going to use is only potentially a cost, which doesn't actually fix the problem. --- No problem!

| Lopen 09/12/18 10:23:01 PM #38 | I thought about that idea before you posted it.

| Topic | Mercenaries 5 Unveiling Topic: Now Hiring! [New Game] |
| Lopen 09/12/18 10:19:17 PM #35 | Now the big thing with the ability point bounty gimmick, is that you would need to make the ability points rewarded after your win streak ends. Because using your bonus ability points to sustain a winning streak that gives you bonus ability points for sustaining it would be degenerate Same is true for the bonus GP bounty, on that note, but I really think ability points for win streaks is the way to go if you're using ability points. --- No problem!

| Lopen 09/12/18 10:11:31 PM #29 | That being said I still like the idea of ability recharges. Otherwise there's no real incentive to get a lot of good abilities, as you just need the best ability out there that you use every match. That being said it probably shouldn't be done in the form of an ability recharge per se. It should be in the form of I dunno, a status or something. Like if you use a guy's ability he becomes fatigued for X weeks. Which has no effect other than certain abilities might reference it and he can't use abilities while fatigued. Maybe you could also make paydowns fatigue a guy too if that mechanic is kept. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/12/18 10:04:48 PM #25 | You know AP could be a good idea Like you passively have I dunno 3 AP a day, which is used to use abilities. It does not accumulate. Some abilities would cost 0, 1, 2, or 3 AP. In fact you could mash-up the ideas. Get a winning streak and you start getting bonus AP banked that DOESN'T expire at the end of each week, that you can use at any time. Collect a bounty you get bonus AP banked in a similar way. So if you want to hellmurder someone with abilities you can do so by winning many times in a row or by kingslaying. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 09/12/18 9:55:55 PM #19 | I like Chris's idea, actually. I don't know about that implementation exactly but the basic idea sounds good. I also think that if you wanted more fights to go to topic another way to help would be to give incentives for not just winning but also for gaining some amount of support in losses. Like if you get 30% or 40% of the votes you get some sorta bonus as the loser. Things like that. Also stuff with winning streaks and bounties. Like some bonus when you win many times in a row and some bonus for beating guys who win many times in a row. That would hamstring trading wins as you'd never gain the bonus for winning in a row. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
