Balance of values

[patent seal]

I was thinking about a voucher that would change the probability of obtaining effects on both cards and jokers that the wheel and aura provide.

In case you didn't know, it's more likely to obtain a foil than a polychrome when these consumables are activated. Specifically, the probabilities are: 50% foil, 35% holographic, and 15% polychrome.

What this voucher would do is balance all effects to the same probability, i.e., 33% each. Its voucher evolution could be that the wheel and aura can now apply negative effects to jokers, and each effect now has a 25% chance to appear on cards.

Imagine. Negative effects on cards—that would be really cool for high-hand builds that use steel cards, or having a 6, 7, 8... hand sizes

very niche for a voucher

i don’t hate it

[magic solar]

negative effects on cards wont be added because localthunk said

also having a 25% chance for negative is insanely op especially with perko

[hearty sparrow]

Maybe this could be balancing probabilities in general? e.g. all jokers have equal probability

[polar nexus]

Why do people balance around perkeo

That imo doesn’t make a lot of sense

(This is unrelated from the idea at hand)

[magic solar]

thats fair

[patent seal]

not quite because how probability works

[magic solar]

i meant 6.25 because im silly

It's has to do more with the seed than with the card itself

[patent seal]

you mean like the probability of rare jokers to appear on the shop?

[hearty sparrow]

yeah

[patent seal]

I haven't thought about that

that would be nice too

It's evolution could be that legendary jokers can now appear on the shop, but with the same probability as the soul

[mortal spire]

why are you calling your own suggestion a repost

[patent seal]

wut?

[mortal spire]

= repost

[patent seal]

idk know it was for that

I just like to click emotes

[mortal spire]

even still

self upvotes are lame

[teal cape]

Perkeo + Oops + this voucher = crashing the game

[teal cape]

What does that mean

What are the odds of Cavendish dying then

Oh wait nevermind

That's so bad though. It has almost no use cases

[hearty sparrow]

Nah it's good

See more rares

As if you couldn't crash the game in so many different ways now. Besides, that's exactly what's fun about Balatro. How boring would it be if it were a restrictive game with too many gameplay balances?

I'm having more fun when I make a build and synergies that crash the score board than when I can barely win

[teal cape]

That doesn't come under "all jokers"

Actually maybe it does
