make loyalty card less polarising

[somber blaze]

Making the loyalty card more consistent for less xmult is probably the way to make it an actually viable way of scoring.
My suggestion is x3 mult every 3 played, please discuss this and your ideas for a buff/rework here

[north valve]

what about if it gets tripled down on- every 10th hand gets 10x mult

or literally tripled down- every 18th hand gets 12x mult

[somber blaze]

Crazy

I just find a joker that is useless most of the time kinda... meh game design

[north valve]

yeah, its a bit niche, really is only consistent with burglar

but as is, it may exist with those numbers to be seperate from Acrobat

[somber blaze]

I did expect the acrobat comparison

[north valve]

as 3x per 3 played is acrobat but better outside of the needle

[somber blaze]

I feel like making it a side grade would be fine

They still have a distinct use case

Acrobat is consistent and great with scaling jokers, but doesn't really synergize with more hands

Loyalty card would be more flexible with the drawback of not being as good with scaling

I really does feel like there's no great way to to fix it besides completely reworking the joker

[north valve]

you can also trigger it once per blind with Grabber + Nacho Tongs if you arent playing the worst deck (or just Grabber on blue)

but with its mechanic i dont think the numbers can be changed to keep its identity without stepping on another joker

[somber blaze]

Kinda sad honeslty

[north valve]

indeed, its a bit hand costly

[somber blaze]

There's actually a concept I saw that could work

It was something along the lines of "each 6 hands played, gain a free shop tag"

[foggy jolt]

every few blinds youd be able to trigger it twice with the default amount of hands

[somber blaze]

Wait wdym

[foggy jolt]

if it triggers on the first hand

then youd also trigger it on the last
