Incline Battle Brothers + Beasts & Exploration, Warriors of the North and Blazing Deserts DLC Thread

ok nwm at 77 now but that's still like normal range for calling a game boring

I personally never managed to do something boring for 77 hours, not on my free time at least(by which I mean excluding work, study and other responsabilities which I have performed in my life and still perform year-round).

You must have had some serious fun or at least have been seriously intrigued by something to have played it for so long. Admit it. There are many games which I loved playing but didn't keep at them for over 20-30 hours.

 

[hivemind]

I mean I have a shit laptop so I cant really play any other games and this total playtime is over like 2 main periods of playtime.

I put like 20-30 hours to it when it first released and then rest primarily during one like several days long session a while after the beasts DLC released because I just needed to go full escapsim and couldn't really play anything else.

I think the game is definitely worth a buy and like overall on the positive side, but there is that bitter realization that the fundamental feedback loop gets boring and repetitive really quick. I tried giving it another try yesterday and like by day 5 my mind was melting from boredom and I legit felt aversion against imagining continuing with the play-through because like it really isn't tactically or even strategically interesting once you get the basics down, it's literally just repetition and economic risk management all the way down*. This is a genuine criticsm and like I don't get why the fantards ITT refuse to acknowledge it and instead start reeing that someone dares like offer a non one sided reaction.



*I guess the super lategame fights have some novelty but like just lmao at grinding through the entire game for a minor taste of interesting content

I dare you to find a single person frequenting this thread who hasn't acknowledged it.

the trade autist

 

[Tigranes]

The Trade Autist is no human, but a higher kind of being; it does not suffer from 'boredom' or 'repetitiveness' like us mortals, for every identical virtual crate gained is another step towards Trade Orgasm

Literally every single person agrees that BB is a fantastic gameplay loop that makes you wish something grander could have been built, whether through 'smaller' changes like more variegated early game (hopefully with Backgrounds) and late game, or through the bigger 'living world' aims they used to have. Literally the guy with Celerity hours in this game talks about this limitation every single page.

I guess not so much in the past few pages because we've all gone over it so many times. For me, I loved BB, let it sit for a while, came back for DLC and enjoyed it greatly, will come back to it again later with the next DLC.

ok, but like why do people gotta give me negative ratings when everyone agrees with what I'm saying

like I get that it's expressed in an inflammatory and rough around the edges way but like come on thats like the benefit of this forum

is it just because I spam the thread randomly or what? that doesn't sound very fair honestly

 

[Barbarian]

I wonder if this is like CKII("we will keep doing dlcs as long as they sell well") or if the devs have more concrete plans in mind.

Right now I think the direction is quite perfect, as the game truly needs more content first and foremost, but soon enough the right direction will be more critical base game mechanics. End-game goals? More world simulation mechanics? Cities growing/changing?

Heck at this point even adding a "final" crisis to be ecountered after defeating the 3 vanilla crises in sequence(something which I never did) would be great. It would add some final goal to reach for at least.

Because you are butthurt and calling the game total shit while admitting you have enjoyed playing it for nearly a hundred hours.

I think going with like constant DLCs to flesh more stuff out is the way to go. I hope they will keep adding more starts with different DLCs because like really tte most important thing imo is to add some variance into the early and midgame. I would consider taking another look at weapon values and shift around as well.

Also, does anyone know how enemy weapon layouts are generated? Does every person get random stuff individually or are they like based on preset "types" of groups?

thats just banter tho
like is this reddit that I should add like /s disclaimer or specify that not all hyperbolic statements are literal, like come on

I neither think nor hope Overhype will go down the CKII route.

Of course I welcome more content - I'd even buy purely cosmetical stuff like a Banner-Pack for the right price, wich I never did for any other game - but I also wish that the 'Core Gameplay' and 'Atmosphere' stay intact. The first DLC went a little too far in the 'High Fantasy' direction for my taste. You can't tune a car forever, at some point it will start to look silly and/or become something different.

So flesh out the world a bit more, then make a BB 2, with much wanted features like base building, cavalary etc. - or do something completely different.

You, fags, are just jealous, because i'm rich and you are not.

Is a save editor, easy to use.

The recruit rgn can go to hell, make your own bros and origin.
Check wiki so you don't make unfun op terminators: https://battlebrothers.fandom.com/wiki/Character_Backgrounds

On another note, are swordmasters some kind of trolling? No, don't tell me "perfect poledude", any retard farmer with 2 stars in melee can be a perfect poledude, i don't need a 6k elite rare recruit for it.

To be fair, I haven't even played the game, I am just messing with you because of your punctuation, or lack thereof.

Any word about new monsters coming with the new dlc?

Is it possible to play as a female character in this?

Any word about new monsters coming with the new dlc?

Tribe of Red Goblin(a)s armed with rusty hammers and sickles with motto: Raidin everyone accordin to our need!

They scalp their human female victims and wear their red hair and glasses, pretending to be female and human to lure thirsty, sexually confused village boys

Hopefully no more "massive boring/danger to fight so i will ignore them forever".

Looking at you alps, giant snakes and ents.

alps are shit specially after the last update, sneks and treebeasts I enjoy immensely

Avast ate a campaign on its 350th day.

With a lot of alchohol Ugly Fat girls with colored hair seem okay. This may need a little extra drugs.

 

[Reinhardt]

Actually this time i'm not rich. By day 50 i'm sitting at 7-8k geld. Paying for 18 bros eats money pretty quick. Two of my most profitable allies constantly under alps or witches siege and i can't lift it because my average level is too low. And only ~3 weeks before first crisis.

 

[Reinhardt]

Started reading art thread from the start.
Oh, boi, i really REALLY miss old skeletons and green color.

 

[Tigranes]

That really looks nice, doesn't it? I like the final art but that's beautiful, including the STW/MTW-style banner-wielding bust tokens.

 

[Sarissofoi]

Yeah. The old banners were much better than the new overdone ones.
