Without spoiling anything, how hard was Command for a mano a mano combat build?

Cannons are much, much better. Love the change. Game is definitely easier without being too easy. I started getting cocky in -4 and 6 hunters put me in my place.
I think the new heat changes need some tinkering. I bumped into some friends in Waste, and a few of them just started randomly overheating.

Ideas / Re: Drone Bay adjustments
« on: November 22, 2016, 03:01:33 PM »
I wish drones could be launched for the inventory. If that's impossible, it'd be nice if there was an incentive to keep the bay attached. Otherwise, it's annoying item swapping for the player.
One solution I've heard is buffing the bays so they're like makeshift armor. That's a nice thought, but I'd rather have slots devoted to good armor than subpar armor. The second option I've heard bandied around is making drones require the bay to be attached to work. Not a fan of that one.
My proposal: Reduce drone speeds by by 25% if no bay is attached. Increase their speed by 25% of what it is now if a bay is attached. Slight nerf to drones, and makes drones more effective for players who keep the bay attached, without forcing them to keep it attached. More choices = a more thoughtful game.

Very excited about the damage overflow mechanic. Time to try out massed thermal cannon volleys - takes advantage of the overflow mechanic, can melt enemies, programmers are extra weak to it, and only savior class robots resist it (ie who cares). As long as you can manage heat and live with melting potential salvage, could be strong strategy.

Even with the armor buffs, armor still gets chewed through like candy. This isn't surprising info but it's certainly helpful for new players to visualize how impermanent armor is in this game.

Variable heat transfer? But.. but... thermodynamics...
But seriously I like that idea. I use thermal weapons more than I should and I almost never see anyone melt. The masses demand the melted husks of our foes.

I like that suggestion. Item destruction can be mitigated by EM weapons or adjacent combat. Sometimes neither is an option.
E: you can also make how long it takes an item to go poof depend on integrity. Processors and devices go poof the quickest. Then things like legs and guns. Cannons, armor, and treads could take the longest to self-destruct.

Had a silly run where I managed to get to Testing again. Even after finding a few cool toys I still got torn to shreds in there.
With the acknowledgment that I am not the world's best gamer and that combat mode is hard mode in Cogmind, I think the branch difficulties in cogmind need tweaking. Unless you have a perfect build, you are going to come out of any caves run in much worse shape than when you came in as a combat build. Extension and from what I'm so far seen Testing are likewise brutal. I understand that branches are supposed to be a high risk/reward scenarios, but the risks are really, really high and the rewards for the mid-game branches are not exactly breathtaking. Every time I limp out of Zion, DM, or Zhirov with a combat build I always think to myself "well that wasn't worth it." (Warlord has a great reward but getting out of that branch alive with a slow moving combat build is a feat unto itself). I'm sure that's not the feeling you're shooting for.
I've done branch runs with stealth builds the few times I've played stealth and it's of course infinitely easier. But for players like me who have a strong preference for combat builds, visiting large swathes of the game feels like a suboptimal decision.
Even if you think this a legitimate point, I'm not sure what the solution is. Decreasing the branch difficulty or increasing the rewards helps stealth/hacker runs who need no help. Further buffs to combat builds will make non-branch combat runs too easy (they're in a good place as is).
One possibility is adding things to the Caves that would only be of use to a combat build, such as the occasional cache of heavy armor/weaponry/treads. Not of much use to a stealth build, a godsend to a beat up combat cog. Another possibility is adding the chance for a fabricator with a finite number of matter in Zion. It would make runs where DM was on -7 and Zion with a fabricator on -6 very, very satisfying.

The two things we can say for sure are purple is Warlord and Red is Revision 17. You convinced me that Zhirov is light yellow and not orange.
You also convinced me that Data Miner is orange. If you attack data miner, some high tech grunts teleport in.. very similar to the grunts that zip in if you disable Zhirov's cloaking, and they're clearly not Main.c forces. This clearly suggests that Data miner has allies. So... 1) who the hell is Data miner allied with? 2) Who is the mid game data miner NPC that links to black? 3) Who is that standalone light green? It looks like someone you can encounter around -7 or -6. I suspect this is an NPC hidden away in the branch still locked in Zion. Is there some NPC you can find in storage that I've never heard of?
I really need to fool around with some flight/stealth builds and explore the new late game branches thoroughly. It's a pity that my preferred play style is not conducive for tourism.

General Discussion / Charting the NPCs and their factions [MAJOR SPOILERS]
« on: November 02, 2016, 10:44:57 AM »
Major spoilers ahead, proceed with caution.
Kyzrati has been posting a blog series about how to weave a plot into a roguelike/procedurally generated game. It's definitely worth a read.
Part 1: http://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2016/10/weaving-narratives-procedural-worlds-part-1-value/
Part 2: http://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2016/11/weaving-narratives-into-procedural-worlds-part-2-characteristics/
In part two, he posted a fascinating graph:
This graph depicts every major NPC in the game; where you can find them; their faction; and the impact they have on future events/other NPCs. Or as Kyrzrati put it, the "major NPC encounter visualization ... showing those with a direct effect on some later encounter (arrows), as well as those with a relatively significant long-term impact on gameplay (bracketed length)."
Let's try to decipher it! I haven't thoroughly explored Testing, Armory, or Quarantine so I'm not well versed in the plot events in there. People who have seen more of the end game will probably have a much better idea than me about who some of these dots could be.
First off, assuming I am not colorblind, we have 8 majors factions. Interesting and more than I expected.
The first one is the easiest. The red dot on the left is revision 17, since that's the only early game NPC. What about the other two red dots? I believe the middle is O7 and the third is revision 17 again in Archives. I'm not the biggest lore/branch junkie though so correct me if I'm wrong!
The lime green one is probably data miner. You encounter him early and he can potentially change the rest of the game. Fits the bill. Interestingly, if I'm right that means Data Miner is not partied with the other factions. No other lime green dots.
I believe orange is Zhirov's faction. The orange dot on the far left is probably O8, who can be found in Zion and gives you that hack to summon help when needed. Two of the central orange dots are Zhirov himself, representing that he can be found in archives or the caves. The far right orange is Zhirov again, since he can show up in access under certain conditions. If I'm right that Zhirov = orange, there's one orange dot I can't account for.
Note that one of the oranges links to black. If I recall correctly, Zhirov gives you a Main.C related hack... perhaps black is Main.C itself?
There's a free floating yellow dude. No idea who that is. Could be O7 if some of my assumptions are wrong.
Warlord is either light yellow or purple. I suspect purple, since that would allow one of the other purples to be God Mode. I have no idea who the other purples are and no idea who the light yellow is.
No idea who light blue is.
Finally, it's worth noting that the branch off of Zion is locked. I bet there's a major NPC in there that no one has seen yet.
Lots of robots still to meet (and blow up).

One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that combat runs are basically hard mode. If you combat it up all the way to Research, the alert level is going to be pretty high by the time you get to those branches, unless you take a dip in Waste on -4. I'm sure zipping around Testing with a high speed and low alert level is a lot easier... provided you don't eat a stasis bubble.
I loved those stasis guys though.. thanks for the shields while I kill your buddies!

Had a pretty good run going. I incorporated two advanced hacking utilities into my combat build. The loss of combat effectiveness was more than made up for by being able to instantly find the stairs. I'll probably make this a staple of my builds in the future.
Getting to research, I decide to hack the branch stairs and find that Testing is nearby. Up until this point I still hadn't been into the Research branches and figured this would by a good chance to check it out since I was in fairly decent shape. I figured Testing would be a gift basket of cool toys.
And it was, as well as tons of extermination squads and friggin combat programmers. The latter shredded me and further combat programmer dispatches on -2 finished me off. God damn testing does not screw around.
In other news, triple HERF cannon action versus grunts is pretty funny.

1) Amazing speed run zxc. And that music.... some metalhead! 
2) Does any else think that it's problematic that Zhirov and Armory can spawn on the same level? An entire aspect of the game can become undoable simply due to bad level spawning luck.

I was literally going to use that exact phrase. I agree, make Command nuts. One of my complaints with DCSS' end game is that it's too easy if you know what you're doing.

Wow, what a score!
I will say, a consistent win-rate doesn't mean the game is too easy. It just means you've figured it out. A strong DCSS player can win 5 games in a row if they played seriously. Honestly, I'm suspicious of roguelikes that can't be beaten consistently (e.g. TGGW, IVAN). This genre is embodied by games with high skill caps that should reward mastery of the mechanics.
Plus, this game has multiple endings. Getting out of Access is one thing. I'm sure there will be endings, especially once Command opens, that will try our skill.

I've got a run in the end game - currently sitting at the beginning of Access. In pretty rough shape, but if I get lucky with the first few rooms might be able to do a come back. Of course, I didn't find any of the new branches in Research this run.. next time! On the bright side, I found a certain entropic weapon for the first time, which proved to be very good against hunters.
Armor is def more valuable than treads now pound for pound. At one point this run I had 3 sets of heavy armor on. For the first time, I felt like I could go toe to toe with terminators without getting completely shredded.
And the buffs to Behemoths are noticeble. I took one on with 3 nova cannons and was shocked by how long it took to down it. Definitely a good change. Way back in 3c they were basically jokes. Not anymore!
edit: Escaped! My first Alpha 11 win, only took three tries. I'll admit, I got really, really, really lucky on -1.

Out of curiosity, is that cave attached to Zion now accessible?

The shocking return of Happylisk!
I took a bit of break from cogmind, partly because I didn't want to burn out before the final release, and partly because I had a mountain of work in September. But now with all Research branches open, I gotta see what's in testing and quarantine.
Currently have a good run going, sitting in mid-Factory. I like the charges to armor. Noticeable without being OP. Anything that helps a combat build is a-OK in my book! Though I guess this is a slight buff to sentries and anything else with armor...
