Make the Aqua Beacon not lose its effect if the next beacon chosen was Rainbow.

[stone prairie]

I'm sure all Lootrunners found this irritating since its a situation where the beacon you choose will be completely useless because stacking a Aqua with Rainbow gives you nothing.

Furthermore, considering how important the Rainbow Beacon is, not picking it at first opportunity would be beyond stupid, so this situation tends to happen a lot.

So it would be nice if the effects of the Aqua Beacon could be preserved for the next beacon choices, if the Rainbow Beacon was selected, that way the players aren't wasting one of their rounds for no reason.

[spark ruin]

Ah yes
That was a thing
But was removed bc it was too strong allowing you to take another aqua after that essentialy stacking the effects

[stone prairie]

But Aquas can't be stacked anymore since 2.0.4 no?

[spark ruin]

Yea

After like 2 weeks of 2.0.3 aqua stackingn was limited to only 2, wich could be bypassed by taking a rainbow after 2 aquas and then stacking 2 morr

[stone prairie]

Fair enough, but I see no issue by altering the game to block the Aqua for appearing in this situation to avoid the stacking. Because rn losing a aqua in this situation feels like a waste of round.

or would that be too much "dev time"

[jagged tartan]

ok but you can just uh patch that

[spark ruin]

devtime....

also likely to couse other bugs
(i dont lr anymore so take everything i say with a grain of salt)

[stone prairie]

exactly, no reason to keep the players for losing a round.

[stone prairie]

so no new content should be added to the game since it might cause other bugs?

[jagged tartan]

yeah fuck new content they should fix the bugs instead

[spark ruin]

valid take
idk im just saying stuff to say stuff
i shoudlnt even talk about lootrunning when i dont do it myself

[jagged tartan]

nah lootruns are not much different in that department

[stone prairie]

Fair enough, I'm far from a Pro Lootrunner, but after a few runs u noticed those kind of things. I doubt this would take much Dev time.

[warped lake]

I mean if this was literally a thing before, it probably shouldn't(?)

[jagged tartan]

it was a thing and got removed because of a bug not an issue with the actual intended feature

[vivid garnet]

never underestimate the power of spagetti (or not even spagetti) code

[low acorn]

Just make it once you take an aqua, then rainbow, the rainbows effects are double

[gusty vessel]

every run where u dont get aqua rainbow insta restart

[autumn cliff]

Eh, now it wouldn't be nearly as strong

[spark ruin]

as said
i did not do a single lootrun since missions

[autumn cliff]

Ok, so I can tell you, at best scenario you would get 10 extra challenges with this

Or 20 if you are extremely lucky

[stone prairie]

How so?

[autumn cliff]

Compared to getting 2 extra rerolls before 2.0.4 (up to 4)
Or double amount of challenges

[autumn cliff]

Aqua rainbow vibrant aqua vibrant white

[stone prairie]

ah, that's fair, in that case, I would recommend altering the code to block Aqua appearing after Rainbow to avoid any possible stacking.

[autumn cliff]

Where tools to get extra challenges were limited but challenge limit was uncapped

[autumn cliff]

My point is that it wouldn't be nearly as strong as it used to be

[stone prairie]

I dont disagree, but since CT is clearly against Aqua stackting I suggested it to improve the feedback
