round escarp
languid nebula
REEEEEEEEE
round escarp
here
nimble grail
I TOLD HIM
languid nebula
ICON
nimble grail
Cryo i'm in voice with this dingus and i TOLD HIM
languid nebula
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
nimble grail
He gonna get bonked for this
safe cloak
you put the icon in first message
languid nebula
safe cloak
iirc?
languid nebula
When you MAKE it
safe cloak
oh yeah, in settings next to edit
marble crypt
funniest part
thumbnails never load for me
round escarp
fart
you see cryo
at least i NEVER DONE THIS
and if i will ever do it I WILL DO IT PROPERLY FROM NOW ON
you should see me at work
languid nebula
Yeah thats why its now changed so its mods only creation
Discussions is open normally
languid nebula
It wasnt the first ( in fact almost all that were not created by me or wander ) and wouldnt have been the last
Weegy is still behind adding the ones I made for the remaining
limpid silo
round escarp
ill always break something in order to make the place improve its rule sets since i do sometimes edge cases XD
anyway
namaste cryo
aligator
or something
languid nebula
Like for the icons its seconds for me to whip one up when I am online
round escarp
since techincally im farthest except wander?
round escarp
damn, already?
languid nebula
yes
round escarp
im after shrooms but my town is booming hard
languid nebula
languid nebula
and active money with gold mines
safe cloak
ugh, either I was just doing amazing this morning, or everything is terrible with RNG right now for me
languid nebula
Still have 4 blueprints in the desert
round escarp
me too
safe cloak
I pounded through so much from 7am to 9am
and now I can't even finish the bone-whatever with any character
round escarp
it could be choices made
cant say anything, again, i cant see you play to give any advice tbh
but so far
4th zone boss is my most favourite
first is least
safe cloak
oh right, we were talking about ability for bots to share screen
actually, a big question I have.. what determins fusion reactor things?
because this run I've gotten so many and I haven't even seen the first boss yet
and some runs I see so few
in VS you have specific "bosses" for silver chese for possible evolutions, and purple "bosses" for arcana
but this run on BxP... I have gotten so many more than I've ever seen
round escarp
fusion reactors are progression based
they always drop in certain spots
like... early you get around 2-3 till first elite?
then 1 from elite
after first elite you get another 2-3, and another from elite
and before big boss you get like... 1-2?
its not RNG
its planned kinda
fusion reactor gives you option for fissure and you roll from 1 up to 5 items
this is RNG part
but it always have option for 5 items
you simply need enough ball and item levels in your eq to reach possible max
so if you have ball lvl 2, lvl 2 and item lvl 1 you have 4 free upgrades so fissure will be 1-4 items
ball lvl 1, 2 and item lvl 3 you will get fissure 1-3 becasue cumulatively you can get ONLY 3 upgrades for your current items
but it will NEVER be more than 5 max
Fusion is when balls cannot evolve, it gives option once you get 2 balls to lvl 3, Fused ball will ALWAYS come out lvl 3 and you dont have to lvl it.
You CANNOT fuse already fused ball or 2 of the same ball
evolution is well... evolution, but unique ball will be lvl 1 and you have to up it to lvl 3 again. also 2 balls max lvl needed,
you CANNOT evolve already fused balls,
you CAN fuse the evolved ball with another evolved ball
in some cases evolved ball can be part of another evolution, its just very tricky
@safe cloak all clear?
also i belive we can screen share
we did made that happen few times i belive
languid nebula
Cancer sun is in the making
ionic finch
Awww yeah. The dashcon ball pit.
languid nebula
I cant get that last blueprint in the bloody desert...
Is there a blueprint locked behind fast mode ?
round escarp
Did you cleared with every character?
languid nebula
Just the double left IIRC
safe cloak
the Cogitator... I thought I was gonna hate him... but then he just destroyed level's 1 and 2 first try each
strange but fun build that he ran me through
took a nap and finally beat frost with two characters, still can't beat any levels with Repentant, but progress is progress
mummy is neat, too, but sucks towards the end of the level
erm, Embedded
round escarp
cogitator is a sleeper
imo take him on any fresh level
he will just cook something up for ya and you can test waters for free
round escarp
@languid nebula your negative dmg was very insteresting my man but have you heared of NO DMG?
round escarp
ok
my cogitator...
was...
LASER FOCUSED
i thought man was cooking and gonna show me giga evo for laser
turns out.... he just wanted flashy beams XD
round escarp
i just found i think hardest character in game
round escarp
gentelmen
i conjured
most disgusting ball
this ball
deals screen wide dmg any time to contacts with enemy
and stacks statuses
round escarp
oh no
nononono
i think i know what my autopilot is trying to cook
ill keep y all updated
nevermind
opportunity already gone
but i know what i can do
there is something bigger than nuke
safe cloak
damn, that was quick
I hope content updates for this game go wild
there's so much potential
round escarp
yeah
but even then
there is plenty to play
there is NG+ with WAY harder enemies
and infinite scaling options
smoky barn
So there is basically an auto-win combo;
|| Black Hole x Flash ||
round escarp
how you make the first one?
im missing few evos
4 of them are super evos
i thought || Nuke and flash || would be also pretty easy but it only spreads the status, not dmg
so i couldnt make screen wide blast
smoky barn
how you make the first one?
|| Sun x Dark ||
but it'll drastically change the function of it, so don't do it until you're pretty much set with other balls
round escarp
which characters are your favs so far?
smoky barn
i quite like the combo of the one that has no baby balls but can copy the others, and the one that only does damage with effects
also i got to the point with inventor and itchy trigger where i bugged out the game, lost all my special balls because TOO MANY BABY BALLS
and still won
round escarp
i love the rock man
he just feels so good to play imo
rock man is all about status and secondary effects
round escarp
why i love rock man?
because i can get away with this
AI can be sometimes dumb as bricks
yet a win is obtained
languid nebula
Wander missed his DPS statistics in his latest vid
so
here we go
He wanted to know if the Sun X Flash did good damage
yes
yes it did for the little time it was made
round escarp
try hemmorage and flash
actually i can do it myself lmao
gimmie a sec
ill stop doing idle runs and play for once
stay tuned
round escarp
gimmie sec
gonna upload on youtube rq
because this dmg
is a beautiful lie :3
it doesnt count hemmorage proc
enjoy
@languid nebula
you gonna love part with boss
urban monolith
What boss?
round escarp
exacly
i dunno why hemmorage just goes ballistic with flash
it applies bleed stacks and then pops hemmorage passive dealing 20% hp of every mob on screen
ionic finch
wacky
round escarp
imo its techincally most unbalanced combo since its raw % of hp as dmg
but it doesnt register on dmg chart the hemmorage proc
you can see on vid it deals thousands of dmg every bounce
but numbers say NO
well
my AFK run found something possibly
tactician with wagon wheel and overgrowth X assasin ball fusion
also that was with lots of missing stats actually
i stopped upgrading some time ago
i AFK now a lot with radical dude for idle completion but i belive i have enough stuff to push NG+ quite steadily
the auto characters are just kiiiiinda stupid later on, early you get away with them but more difficult it gets it clearly shows their struggles because of bad combos and some wacky AI stuff
great for discovering and screwing around but if you REALLY need a job done better play manually
ionic finch
finally got the game.
BALLBYLON?! REALLY?!
round escarp
yes
ionic finch
heeeeh
ionic finch
Ballybylon said "ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONEEEEEEEEEEEEE" and then it dug a very large hole.
round escarp
actually, what was wander sun combo?
sun flash
i can swing it myself and see on my own
ionic finch
what have I done
round escarp
yes
ionic finch
....... the game just made fun of me.
round escarp
iz ok
dunno why it doesnt wow me as much as my hemmorage one
kay
black hole time
ionic finch
rougelite breakout is.... very addicting
urban monolith
Black Hole Sun is INSANE
round escarp
@smoky barn as funny as it is... i still preffer hemmorage
it have one weakspot which is boss dmg
i killed every mob on a map and nothing mattered but bosses were PAIN
hey. who wanna see disco lights?
ionic finch
I CAN FUSE ITEMS?!
ionic finch
anyone know what max level is for characters?
until otherwise specified Im just gonna guess 99
ionic finch
fair nuff
smoky barn
i would dispute that... i've been majorly addicted to this
i'll say getting a character to level 20 seems like an endeavour
i'd be surprised if there were any meaningful upgrades beyond that
ionic finch
I only asked about max. not soft cap.
most games dont really let you get to max level without INTENSIVE effort
ionic finch
does anyone know if theres a max tier to the fast+s?
ionic finch
seems legit
ionic finch
fair nuff.
languid nebula
Maggot , Holy Ray
Thank me later
|| Balls spawned by infested enemies have holy ray properties ||
ionic finch
I know I should PROBABLY be progressing the game. but. I know I can technically beat this with the exact right strategy and luck.
round escarp
Maggot , Holy Ray
Thank me later
#1428852750359334943 message
got a better one here
languid nebula
I assure you not
round escarp
holy laser is nice
but radiation beam is better imo since it applies status what ups the DMG
maggot will struggle with bosses who have less ads
maggot is GREAT dont get me wrong tho
its far better for baby balls
actually.... the bursting sac might be best in this case techincally?
ionic finch
finally. the minimum viable setup. the run is alive.
round escarp
since it explodes directly into multiple sacs which THEN spawn baby balls which also inherit the properties
for holy lazer i absolutely love assasin
thing will be stuck on back beaming hard with extra backstab dmg
but overall... ANY lazer will be great for baby balls
its just... getting there is rough XD
baby ball builds are wack a bit due to hard ish setup before you get the AOE combo on them
i didnt tried bleed with them tho
bleed supposedly deals dmg X bleed stacks when hit by ANY balls
so baby balls do sound nice for some mass bleed
ionic finch
all hail the might of triple blizard icicle. yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
onto fast+7
languid nebula
Found a vid with it , couldnt get the holy laser fusion after half an hour trying
ionic finch
oh great bone x yard fast +7.
I come to you again.
please.
just let me win.
ionic finch
https://youtu.be/siP65-KQpVk?si=RlmaDTxgEorP-un5&t=259
also that is insane.
languid nebula
There are better builds yyes
but its the visual
Just holy ray blast the entire field
turn it white
ionic finch
so begging worked.
languid nebula
FINALLY got all blueprints in the desert
ionic finch
nice
ionic finch
finally. +5 to all stats.
okay so I don't think that fast+8 is possible for me right now.
oh well
..... wow the game feels....
so much more reasonable to play now....
huh. the fast levels really make ya lose perspective.
languid nebula
I finally have S scaling on all
I..
I thought I was missing endurance
I just tucked it away in a corner and forgot about it
ionic finch
I got the holy bug combo
its
its so silly
oh neat. doing higher tiered fast+s auto clears the prior fast+s
ionic finch
question I couldnt find an answer for, anyone know the max level for the character buildings?
or if there even is one?
urban monolith
At least 3, iirc?
I'd assume there's no limit, but it's really hard to go above 5
Or something like that
ionic finch
as far as I can tell the pattern is every 3 levels after 1. (for character to building level)
so level 4, 7, 10, etc.
but fair enough.
ionic finch
👍
round escarp
basic stat buildings go up to lvl 5
stat rank ups up to S
resources to 3
there is some VERY high end buildings what only get 2 lvls
trophies never rank up, only give bonuses from completion
and you also will get at end infinite stat increase buildings
also, update. Spendtrhift character can be good for baby ball build
he shoots all balls at same time so less chances for them to get stuck in queue of baby balls
i can also help with radical pairing
even if he is the AI character what plays the game he does tend to choke more with certain characters
his AI powers arent perfect
guess i can try achivement chasing for the giga evos
Satan, Nosferatu ball
and 2 giga evos of passive items
i mean... look at this
its dumb af
hatchet is usless
NONE of balls reached the back entire run
mosquito swarm ball is also usless af without any aoe slapped on top of it
there is 0 pierce in the build
as far as i learned without any kind of aoe in build you wont make through
be it DoT or just raw AOE, without something what can tag back enemies and weaken them you are cooked
i quick restarted and he made Noxious evo now, prolly win then
im a lil sad ngl
i fear Ball X pit will end up same as loop hero
amazingly addicting but there wont be any content post launch
one and done
@ionic finch i think character max lvl is 100
i checked leaderboards and the cheated stuff is pretty obvious
fastest time for NG+ in my current biome top 100 players
ionic finch
checks out
round escarp
2 people had lvl 100 characters, everyone else in range of 15-40
round escarp
naw
i also somewhat belive top speeds could be cheated too
just.... game cannot be FASTER
Fast+9 makes your runs like.... roughly 7 minutes?
i just cannot imagine game speeding that hard to close it under 2 minutes
even if you full clear boards
i can try on first map i guess to see it
ill take the rock man and test a bit i guess
at least soon i will be able to say if there is NG++
second last map on NG+
ionic finch
Fast+9 makes your runs like.... roughly 7 minutes?
oh so actually the game is counting real time, so if you play on triple speed your in run time is shorter.
triple speed of 6 minutes, + frequent board clears, means you probably could cut down to around 2 minutes.
round escarp
nope
its most likely cheated
full clear doesnt make next wave spawn
game plays in SET speed
even on 3x
boss took me... a minute max? since i didnt had best boss dps
but everything on map was just dying
the sheer fact full board clear doesnt speed up the game is enough of evidence
i always play triple speed
round escarp
anyway. leaderboards globally are wack af like always
enjoy the friend leaderboard tho :P
ionic finch
you can see my absolutely horribly out of place fast+7 run with a single character!
round escarp
which map?
ionic finch
first one
round escarp
ill check it after this one
ionic finch
👍
ionic finch
magnificent.
indigo crystal
so finished the fungle area first try
havent seen anything with taht high of dps yet
indigo crystal
the only way i think i could get it higher is if i had gotten silver bullet and was playing the empty nester
languid nebula
Got it
Had to get character from next zone and then beat it
The unholy blob of character buildings
All get EXP boost and space for the last one
The city is .... spacious
languid nebula
okay
So Radical + Tactician = Turn Based Auto Battler
They have the survival instinct of a bloody steak in a shark tank
And they gonna win
by sheer luck
They dont see the magic homing arrows as an active threat and ignore them
round escarp
radical does not care about any homing projectile for some reason
languid nebula
okay time to grind the last level
languid nebula
aaaallmost done
ionic finch
Mayhaps…. Ballmost done?
languid nebula
Its bover
ionic finch
Well. Now for NG+
limpid silo
now time to play mad balls: babo invasion.
ionic finch
Welcome to the pit
umbral totem
SNOWYxSHORES unlocked
ionic finch
I love leaving the pit open overnight.
ionic finch
The house in the trees
It’s from area 1
Or
Yeah
Level up the two idiots
You’ll see.
ionic finch
moar automation!
now I just need to find stone automation
and then my only worry will be gold
umbral totem
Level up the two idiots
The farmer couple?
ionic finch
Ye
ionic finch
I do not like this man. (character spoiler.)
smoky barn
he makes better choices the more you believe
your lack of faith is letting the side down
ionic finch
side down?
its moreso that ||I can't use banishes or rerolls but..... he is a clever fellow.||
eh. Ill give him some more chances. need to level him up anywho.
ionic finch
I stand by that I do not enjoy this idiot. but. he is slightly smarter than I thought he would be
umbral totem
I like the thought of having the character do everything for me lmao
I was gonna play more tonight but not happening
marble crypt
I do not like this man. (character spoiler.)
ionic finch
..... pressing restart on a run. after I die.
doesnt save the gold I earned.
oh. okay then. so that hour was for nothing.
urban monolith
I love leaving the pit open overnight.
There's a structure that gives you offline resources.
Which is super nice once you've got the best farms/trees/rocks
ionic finch
oh thats neat.
urban monolith
ionic finch
Im currently contemplating the horrors of A: crafting a nuclear bomb, and B: I no longer have damage because the nuke just ate my main damage source.
ionic finch
mmmm. nuke.
urban monolith
That said, going full nuke build is a lot easier with endgame structures
ionic finch
seems legit.
languid nebula
m problem was that the game gave me the offline resources nearly as the last print…
At a time it wasnt that useful anymore
ionic finch
Rip
urban monolith
Its good if you’re grinding infinite stats for NG+
but yeah otherwise a bit late.
ionic finch
Mmmmmm NG+
umbral totem
Lmao gotta love NG+ games
I can’t wait to get back to the game
Mainly because I’ll be home
But also game fun
ionic finch
I found the solution to money.
The free market provides.
In other news every resource now sells for pennies
tawny summit
Boo, im intruiged by this game now, even if i do not own it
watching the codgitator was amusing
ionic finch
It’s so distinctly quirky in a brain tingling way.
I don’t really know how else to phrase it.
tawny summit
i remember playing a bunch of Vampire Surviors a while ago and that was super satisfying
but the part that intruiges me the most here really is just "what are all of the stupid funky combos I can make here?"
like i'm curious what the Brood Mother and the Spider Egg potential combo does... (i only just finished the "second" video of the game)
umbral totem
I have now attained passive collection for forest and farm
not for stone yet
just beat snowy area with warrior, gotta do it again with someone else
tawny summit
oh, also
i really like how the design of the Exp meter and the health meter change between each character
ionic finch
see that actually frustrates me
because on certain characters
I cant see my damned health bar effectively
ionic finch
which like, Im glad there is effort put in, but could we PLEASE not obscur the informatoin?
also yeah
you arent wrong
"just dont get hit" is basically this entire game.
but I like having the information
tawny summit
"just dont get hit" is basically this entire game.
i was more going for "the only HP that matters is the final point"
ionic finch
well yeah that too.
but well
eh
I mean its like magic. if you get hit once in a game, you're probably gonna get hit more.
tawny summit
yes
but the only one that matters is the last one
such is the ways of "sacrifice for power"
I actually wonder if there's a character like that in this game
ionic finch
honestly dont know. but it feels like theres a bit of everything in the character spread.
tawny summit
im ngl as well
im a big fan of just
the aesthetic
it makes me feel like i'm back in innistrad a bit
ionic finch
understandable
tawny summit
there's like...a certain feel they give me, with the characters
it's not...part of me wants to say like "werewolf/town of salem" kinda vibe?
but that's not really accurate
but it def has the feeling of a cursed town or something like that
where everyone feels...suspcious
umbral totem
i still haven't beaten the first area with the farmers
ionic finch
I just maxed out all my buildings and then let them destroy the universe on normal
the real grind, is gonna be getting everyone to fast+9 for maxing out those sweet sweet bonuses
umbral totem
I should probably turn the game speed down when I'm on the final boss for a level so I can dodge better
ionic finch
if you want to get better at dodging turn on your hitbox
it helps immensely
unless you've alraedy done that in which case yeah lowering the game speed could help
umbral totem
liminal desert beaten
and no i hadn't seen the setting for hitbox
turned it on now
it helped a lot
tawny summit
||I like the Spider Queen ball||
tawny summit
Does anyone ever like the Cogitator? They seem...not well liked
umbral totem
well, I made a lot of progress last night
unlocked about half the characters, total
got passive production going
got most of my stats to at least D scaling, some to C
And won a lot of runs
But now I go back to traveling and must leave my home for 2 days and a night
ionic finch
Does anyone ever like the Cogitator? They seem...not well liked
I despise the little RNG man.
umbral totem
false alarm: my brother's husband got the truck and trailer stuck in the mud so now I get to play hours more of ball x pit
umbral totem
the truck has been gotten out of the mud
my time has come to a close, back to needing to travel
I was focusing on getting level completion bonuses and upgrading the stat scaling buildings
I still have half the character's to go
such a fun game
tawny summit
I despise the little RNG man.
but whyyyy?
ionic finch
but whyyyy?
because I like to have my failings be my own, and not some machines choice.
tawny summit
tssssk
umbral totem
because I like to have my failings be my own, and not some machines choice.
If you fail, it’s your own fault. You’re the one aiming.
ionic finch
sometimes, the idiot stick picks HORRIBLE orb combinations
that are just terrible
yes its me aiming
umbral totem
I’ve yet to get horrible orb combos from it
ionic finch
but that doesnt solve the potential situation where the idiot turns all my orbs into single use trash with cooldowns, while I need sustained DPS to SURVIVE.
umbral totem
And I’ve played it a good few times
round escarp
sometimes the AI characters also literally dont care about the gimmick of something and pick orbs anyway
you arent dealing direct dmg but your statuses are crazy strong?
lets just make ASSASIN BALL
tawny summit
why do I already have an idea of how thats going to happen in this episode?
limpid silo
Very quick Spirit bombs?
tawny summit
i dont think it would be spirit bombs
cause i think the bombs would still explode on impact like dark orbs
im guessing something involving cell and/or lightning
tawny summit
hehehehe
umbral totem
finally got the building to give me guaranteed upgrade levels
also unlocked the final character
how you feelin about the final character, Gurm?
safe cloak
what floor/building gives more slots? (ball/item) spoiler it in case others want to find it for themselvss
ionic finch
how you feelin about the final character, Gurm?
I don’t have all the characters
umbral totem
||second to last floor||
umbral totem
I don’t have all the characters
let me know when you do, I wanna hear your thoughts on it
ionic finch
👍
safe cloak
||second to last floor||
damn... I suck too much at this game
could use another ball...
or another friend
umbral totem
You’ll get there
I’m not super great at it either, I’m just able to brute force victories
safe cloak
it's just so difficult to strategize with only 3 balls/items, 1 free reroll, and 2 banishes lol
tawny summit
.>
tawny summit
i just checked the wander playlist
HOW IS THERE ALREADY 10 MORE VIDEOS
Am I just that timeblind???
ionic finch
Nah, he just made a bunch very quickly.
safe cloak
his last video literally explained it
"I made a lot of videos on a break"
and he hadn't played for a whole week
was fun watching him get back into the groove
"oh right, this is a thing... oh right, forgot about this thing"
<3 @ wander
tawny summit
his last video literally explained it
okay, well i'm not AT his last video yet...
limpid silo
they have been my go to vids of late when I get off work, but i also just discovred you did Zenki, heh
umbral totem
I ended up looking up fusions list so I could finish out my encyclopedia
safe cloak
man, I am banging my head against the wall on the switch version of ball x pit (for when I don't want to be at my computer)
I do not remember starting this game to be that difficult
did like 20 runs last night, didn't even make it to the first endboss
tawny summit
hearing wander cry out about how Spoiler enemy ||angels have stolen his balls|| is incredibly amusing
limpid silo
that one was kinda funny. glad it assisted the episode title, heh
tawny summit
hehehe
umbral totem
if you spam the fire button out of impatience while having autofire on, a window pops up essentially saying "just so you know, you have autofire on"
safe cloak
I am on a fucking ROLL this morning... upgraded my thingy TWICE (got two cogs in a row on the desert level!)
also Holy Laser + Frostfire is pretty damned rad
safe cloak
okay, as much as I hate wind and ghost, when I gotta do the bone boss (and arguably ice boss) some combos work out so cheesy
wind+poison then + lightning works so well, takes chunk off skeleton king earlygame
Just point up and dodge arrows, job done
I avoid wind and ghost so much because less bounces = less screen cleaning
safe cloak
I wish I could transfer my save between switch and pc like I can with vampire survivors
finally unlocked my least favourite character (so far), the empty nester
(it hates autoball, I like autoball...)
umbral totem
I also don't like empty nester
safe cloak
okay, so... on switch, on slow... empty nester is kind of neat?
any faster and nope, but on slow? kind of just a totally different game
safe cloak
but yeah not a fan, otherwise
round escarp
personally i like those because lack of any aoe or pierce will kill you most likely
i dont like etherial cloak tho
damn this thing killed me so many times
its great but maked huge issue when your ball cannot return and you get slammed
safe cloak
am I crazy, or does the music for the first level sound like Passenger from Deftones?
like, kind of similar chord progression for the chorus
"Roll the windows down, this cool night air is curious "
🎶
ionic finch
safe cloak
listen to the theme for the first level, then listen to the chorus of passenger, every time I play the first level, passenger gets stuck in my head (great song, tho)
marble crypt
safe cloak
so... this happened, first time I did this map a few days ago
literally killed the boss waiting for the ball to stop bouncing
(was using tactician or whatever, the turn-based one, so I can "b to return balls")
death by baby ball
ionic finch
interesting
safe cloak
that one ball started when the boss was at like 2/3 health
and I just... let it keep going
took so long but it worked? xD
real meadow
marble crypt
