i suggest u do that! as long as u’re not tampering with the game itself, it takes clever building, efficient maneuver and a lot of time to get to a really high wave! that can be called “test playing the game” at a high height! and i fail to see what’s so “unreasonably powerful” about that.
and by doing so, ur opinion becomes much much much more relevant then the opinions of those who just made it to the ancient cavern (they would be around character level 10) and r complaining about something (necromancers for instance) being “unreasonably powerful” and needs to be nerfed!
if u’re playing with poor equip, barely being able to do what u want to do, and never got past that point. i just don’t see why people would want to go to u for “suggestions” on how to play or balance this game, cuz it’d be idiotic to think u know how to play, it’s only fair to say that: u know how to play with bad equip.
i crafted so much, both with the use of save swaps and without it, that i know exactly what this crafting system requires of us (something that most other people don’t, just like how they don’t know much about gameplay either, becuz they play too little, talk too much, craft too immaturely, and tend to say “yes” to bad equip that needs to be thrown away)
i know for a fact that there aren’t 1000 correct ways to craft, to craft decent equip that r better then street trash u pick up from creeps, equip that u don’t need to throw away real soon, u need to “screen” items very strictly, u need
1 decent base stats for some items
2 as many useful stats already on it as possible, becuz that gives items low instability, when u craft, u add way too much instability to items, u rarely manage to add only 2 instability using stability glyphs, it’s mostly 4 instability, sometimes 3
3 large quantities of the same piece of equip u want to craft with
and the correct way to craft, without the help of save swaps is:
1 craft with the most craftable 1s u stored first
2 try to put on as many shards as u possibly can without the use of guardian glyphs
3 when an item has at least 3xt4 stats u need, u start crafting with guardian glyphs to put the t5 shards on
and that is playing things safe aiming for 3xt5 equips, if u want 4xt5 equips, it gets a lot lot lot harder, so hard they r almost unobtainable the way u r playing, so again, we wouldn’t go to u to ask just how powerful and rare t5 equips r, cuz that’s another part of this game u r not test playing
and this is why u’re arguing with me over how the rune of cleasning can be useful, it can’t be useful, it is useless, u r wasting those precious stablity glyphs and shards on cleansed equip which r basicly very bad equip that r uncraftable
and u need to save ur useful shards, the same ones u’re putting onto low level trash u wiped with cleasning runes, u will need tons and tons of those shards in endgame, becuz u will blow up at least 90 percent of ur equip on the way to get 3xt5 equips, and u just can’t count on the shattering rune for refunds
plz cool ur head, and focus on the game’s crafting system, like u said, it’s a fuckin single player that is meant to be test played, if u wanna put urself to the test, feel welcome to do that by urself, don’t bait other people into doing this with u, that’s unethical, if u ask me
plz read what i typed, i said: ---------------when u swap saves------------------ the rune of cleansing could come in handy, and the rune of removal is really useful
when i don’t swap saves, i don’t use the cleansing rune, i sell all of them, and i rarely use the removal rune
and no one said, the guardian glyph is useless
is this clear enough for u to understand?
this is why it is mind-blowing to hear that u have found some application for the cleansing rune!
now this is useful “suggestion”, not a waste of words that serve no purpose, like that trash propoganda the guy above posted, he doesn’t even craft…
Take all this frustration out on the real enemy! THose damn beetles, lite em up!
