<\/a><\/p>\nWhat happens in this \u201cintuitive balancing\u201d I\u2019m using is that you get an expectation (for example, this area has a difficulty of about 1.2, where 1 is starting difficulty, and 4 is the last areas of the game, so it should be fairly easy), and I have a good weapon (beam cannon, level 3) and good protection (shield, level 1), so this should have been a breeze, but it was just the other way around\u2026 I couldn\u2019t get by it\u2026<\/p>\n
First I thought it was the health pools, or the shields of the enemies, but I finally decided to use a level 3 machine gun instead of the beam cannon, and that fulfilled my expectations: an easy enough fight!<\/p>\n
I should probably do some more \u201cscientific balancing\u201d, which is when I use the formulas for the weapons and check them for their relative damage per second, overheat time, etc, etc, but that\u2019s very boring and some of it is tricky to give a good math basis: for example, the shotgun\u2019s dispersion make it very complex to evaluate exactly what is it\u2019s damage.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I still need to finish about 10 areas for this type of mission (other types are also using these areas), and the \u201cClear\u201d type of mission, besides balancing this up correctly\u2026 The spawn numbers, for example, need to be crunched down (these mechanoids spawn in groups of 4, for example, while the corporate forces spawn one at a time, from each spawn point).<\/p>\n
Now listening to \u201cThe Path of Totality\u201d by \u201cKorn\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nLink of the Day: This game looks beautiful and it seems to be going for something different in terms of gameplay and \u201cfeel\u201d\u2026 Will definitely check this one out!<\/em><\/p>\n\n
