Outcasted Thoughts (new update and potential changes)

Mittens 2 hours ago62 views

Everyone has been making Royale blogs, and while I have thoughts on that game, I feel like enough has been said. Instead, I thought I'd make one on Outcasted with some of the things I liked, some of the things I didn't, and potential changes that could be made. 1. Firstly, I think that hunting and collecting water is a great idea that has been given hate for no reason. There needs to be a way to differentiate active players who are helping the tribe from those who aren't and are just good at comps. BUT, food levels have WAY too much of an impact on competition scores. It is essentially impossible to beat someone who has a 15% less penalty than you in half of the comps on the site if they are even okay at comps, which shouldn't be the case. I think the penalties should ease up or food should drop at a lesser rate to help combat this. Also, as a side note, comp scores should NOT break ties. Having it algo is a better method than having comps be the tiebreaker. 2. On top of this, I think the new system is quite.... convoluted. Just have a hunt equal 10 food for the tribe at the cost of 5 water (or whatever numbers that make it balanced) and call it a day, I think having only a % chance at getting food just makes it too random. On top of that, have food go down at a rate of x per hour, not this decimal stuff. People on this site already can't count shapes in a box, how do you expect them to do this math? Speaking of math, show the RAW scores for comps in brackets after the post-penalty scores. I don't want people thinking I got 2k in flags... 3. This one might just be me, but I honestly really miss the idea of "kpelling". Sure, it wasn't an intended consequence of being med evac'd on the tengaged version of survivor, but it literally changed the meta of the game and made it way more interesting. That being said, I think falling to 0 food and 0 water is reason enough to be med evac'd and this should be added to the game. Also, some way of your health decreasing (ex. eating without fire on the tengaged version) would be helpful. 4. Another gripe I have is idols. There are just way too many squares to try and find an idol, especially when you also need to use your resources to hunt for food. I like the idea of having that trade-off, but maybe there should be fewer squares for the idol to be hidden in? And it should be the same square on everyone's board so that groups can "hunt down" an idol if they want to. To illustrate the first point, NONE of the 3 idols were found in our game, which made tribals less pivotal. On this point, other advantages could also be added. Extra vote, nullification, etc. or even food rewards for the tribe or individual. This would make the game feel more real. 5. Also, adding redemption island for some games would be fun! Like maybe 1 in every 5 games or something? 6. Overall, I thought the game was solid. Our tribe having 40 degree weather for 75% of the game wasn't fun, but I expect that won't be the case in most games. The Tengaged version of survivor was my favourite game, and while this game is very different, it scratched some of that itch. It's much more like the real survivor for sure, which is great! But I have to say, I do miss having a merge streak with a mix of my friends and people I'm just meeting. I think a version of survivor where there is merge streaks would be an excellent addition! And it would only take some minor tweaks. Also Envious's blog (https://www.kovaze.com/blog/62271) is a fantastic idea that incorporates "merge streaks" in a different way. I think having either that or a merge streak version of survivor (or both!) would be an amazing addition! Ik this is the bible but I hope you read this and take some of it into consideration sin, I think most people will agree with most of these points.

as iconic as it was i think sin is trying to avoid kpell situations

Chibi i think they should at least be allowed to die then, like if someone gets to 0/0 they die at day change and no one is voted out or something
