wicked fjord
#

period is just worse golden joker is it not

dusky wolf

seems like it

#

period joker
1 in 30 chance for x30 mult when a balatroheart is scored

gleaming quarry
#

Two hyper underpowered followed by 1 hyper overpowered

#

Okay then how do you guys suggest I balance it

brittle mantle
#

comma is pretty much unfixable; its core effect is just blueprint
question mark should have its stats altered; i think an expected value of X3 would be fine
period, idk. it's interesting but golden joker is $4 already which is almost always going to be better than period

elfin cedar
#

okay

#

period gives 3$ for every joker unscored

#

i aint changing question mark man

#

X3 mult is too good to be able to be fixed with oops

#

ughhh

#

i wish the base game didn't make X3 mult so weird as a value

#

like drivers license makes it like okay this should be the baseline for the caveat for X3 mult

#

but then card sharp is right there

#

and its just play the hand again

mellow dune
#

card sharp still has its own problems

#

card sharp dies to needle and eye, and doesn't work with difficult hands that you realistically aren't going to play two of

elfin cedar
#

yeah

#

idk

#

i think question mark as a common joker is okay

#

its a bit underwhelmintg

#

and common jokers are supposed to be a bit underwhelming

brittle mantle
#

my issue with it is that it is worse than a single steel card

calm lion
#

So comma is just negative blueprint?

grand bronze
#

period is op
question mark is shit
comma is comically broken

#

“always spawns negative” are we serious

elfin cedar
#

would be nice if you didn’t restate what everyone else said but ruder 🙄

#

no one on this server can give constructive criticism

Ive actively said it, but if I just dislike the joker, I can't always give a reason, sometimes I just don't see it being enjoyable

#

Period is actively harmful since it only affects scoring and there's never a "bad" instance of scoring, and 1$ per sucks as an uncommon. It'd have to be 5$~ per disabled joker to be worth anything

Question Mark is just unfun, RNG dependant scoring sucks unless you can spam the check (i.e. bloodstone) several times, plus it leans into HC spam. I dont see a way to make this balanced & fun.

Comma is just better Blueprint

if you ask me period is an insanely good econ joker. you can burn hands with all jokers disabled for like 4 dollars per hand. thats 12 dollars per round with 4 hands.
question mark is bad simply because consistency in balatro is essential. the joker also doesnt really change how you play the game, its kinda just there
comma i feel like is pretty self explanatory. there’s a reason natural negatives are so rare, and especially on a joker that is practically identical to blueprint, one of the best jokers, it just feels like power creep

#

the effect for question mark makes sense thematically though

#

i believe how it works is it disables jokers to the right and adds money to the end of round payout per disabled joker

#

thats how it reads to me anyway
