Kek.
1:12 >1EXP
Going up to...?
>5 and 10
Shall we adjust any of this this time around?
1:30 Remains to be seen.
1:42 >Cheating Death
What's all this now?
2:40 Per case basis, I suppose.
3:58 Odd.
4:25 >SKS Death
>SKS
Skeleton something or other's DMG kill, presumably.
4:38 This when you fail to do their dizzy (resulting in HP regain)? I suppose we could make them full heal if being dicks with design. Disabling normal kills to force throw finishes all over would be a silly gimmick.
4:45 >Decap
Mutilation?
5:13 >weapon only
Disappearing into a poof?
5:58 >CS impale
>SKF
Got nothin'.
NOTE: Being able to bust shields to have them generate orbs, open them to breaking with more things, letting things work around them, etc. would be swell.
6:49 Clearly the tummy taps.
6:58 >rope
The toss, then.
>stab
...? I was expecting the wall next.
7:18 >shatter
>air shatter
Crystal clear. Potentially the case we could dictate different orb drops not just for EXP, but maybe HP from grounded or MP from the air. These sorts of silly things.
7:58 >1 red
Not the specific type (l/m/s)?
8:45 Thus we can set a chance below 1 to make it a dice roll to get payment with this instance if wanting to RPG it up.
9:30 >3
I'm a little unclear here.
>low HP prob
>even low MP prob
The latter is very unexpected. Would be a big boon for limping along with Zf lvl3.
10:58 With EXP not mattering like that and MP covered, HP for DB doing "Milking" would have been a neat costume specific thing. Same for wall slams.
11:38 1 punch per 1 orb. If adjusted then what? 1 punch for 2 orbs? 2 punches for 1 orb?
12:49 Mommy milkers truly sustain life? Was Zester right all along?
13:20 >option enabled
I see.
14:11 So the chance it happens. 1 being 1.0 for 100%, presumably.
14:28 >0.2 for 20%
Right.
14:44 >1-3 orbs with 3 different rolls
Ah, I see. Potentially 3 orbs for each punch (could be huge returns from just slapping the stomach of some UL at full HP).
15:45 Thus a range of 0-30HP per punch. Think you can get something like 5 from the start, which suggests full HP recovery from critical is well within the realm of possibility of base bar.
>SKS Death
Whoops. Thought we were doing the gut jab. My bad.
16:42 >E
I forget what hits in throws scale with P%. I know wraith ground OS does.
NOTE: Could use cutscene skipping.
17:24 >this payout for this little effort
Good Lord.
17:41 >Krate lost his SPIRIT
Curious. Uneven surface?
19:06 Here we go.
19:20 >10% for chance at 1 per gut buster
Alright.
21:24 D20, I beseech thee!
>3 pops on regular UL
Maybe it was 5 for SUL.
>third dropped an orb
10HP incoming.
>doesn't get a case of two or three payouts in the same session
Bah. This man doesn't level LCK.
NOTE: Let me know when you want to talk ideas for projects (as with simple, quicker to set-up things).

>.VAG
These are the cutscenes I believe
>Cheating death
I need to check to see what that means
>3:58
Exactly. There are template placeholders for hp, mp, and red orbs. But you can use any of them you like. You can use all 3 for only red orbs for example.
>Decap
It is presumably mutilation. Will have to test this or ask Wright to see if this is the case
>Weapon only
No clue what this one is. Other enemies have this too. It is not damage kill.
>Expecting wall stuff
The wall guy has a separate AI if I am correct. This is the ground version
>7:58
The orb type is specified by the template. Here, it means 1 orb of type 50. And 50 is 1 small red orb. If 50 was 5 large red orbs. Then in that case, 1 would mean "one 5 large red orbs." Sounds idiotic. But it is what it is.
>9:30
Min/Max mean the min/max amount the said emitter can yield. It first uses the probability to decide if there is going to be an orb or not. Then, it uniformly decides how many orbs in the range [min, max] to give.
>Chat about projects
Lets go. I will be on an overseas trip this week. But let's chat about things.

@@kiraqueen0 >cutscenes
More just focused on the immature aspect.
>need to check
Good in general to know what does what.
>presumably
Definitely the case. Probably early into the cycle they were focused on just that (as with Minotaurs). Just did it differently for various foes. Also, easier to grasp than other shorthand from different terms as with bisect.
>it is what it is
A mess. So long as it gets understood.
>on a trip
I see.
>let's go
With only GoW1 being looked at presently, the first and simplest thing is importing GoWII style VH (vice versa for GoWII and beyond with GoW1 style). That's the simplest and most obvious to set-up. What if GoW1 had those same balance adjustments? How would that play with NOTHING else changed? Done on vanilla VH otherwise. Suddenly we hit harder in Clone War, but our recovery is significantly worse.
No such thing as RP orbs, mind you. Can't be helped. Still, EXP orbs can take the L (down to 0.75). GoWII with GoW1 rules can also be interesting as it would be halved (rather than quartered) P%, but our orb worth is like on N. Just way easier to work other tools offsetting this. Costume changes require some more knowledge of limitations before proceeding.

@@BigVEE I am back from the trip. With a fresh mind. Lets see.
>Import GoW II VH
You mean:
1. Nerf orb values to 0.25x
2. Nerf red orbs to 0.75x
3. Nerf P% to 0.25x from 0.5x
4. Not sure how EP% is changed
Am I correct? I am most probably missing something. Otherwise, count me in. I haven't done Vanilla GoW I in a while.
>GoW II in GoW I style
With regards to orbs it can be arranged via the SAINT Mod. Just like how we already did for the SAINT run. P and EP% need to be changes via some other means. Perhaps some CE cheat is there for that.
Note: I am interested in a NUR+ NCR of GoW II but orb values set just like GoW I. I wonder how much side weapon orbs can help with the NCR stuff.

[@BigVEE]

@@kiraqueen0 >fresh mind
Refreshed, are you?
>mean
0.25 for MP/HP, 0.75EXP, 0.75P% and EP% unchanged. As such, we take the same DMG (same collisions), do more DMG for scaling attacks, but EXP is worth less and orbs crap. This without getting into the murkier waters of aggro/recovery meddling.
>SAINT mod for the orbs
Ayyy.
>some other means
Costume?
>CE
Sure.
>NUR+ NCR of GoWII
>GoW1 VH
Cute.
>how much sub RNG orbs can help at true N value
Quite a lot more than they do in the version we contend with. Fourfold. Spells ain't costing less, but it still counts for plenty so you're free to work things more often (just not relying on them as with having E Ath on VH). The number of SEM waves with Theseus will drop as a consequence.
