Yuck, hello r/rpgmaker.

I'm using rpgm2k3 and my game is 90% done: cinematics, the story, inventory, the lot.

In fact, it's been 85-90% done for probably 8 months now. The one thing that is stopping me is combat balance. Ugh oh lord it's awful trying to balance this game. The stock monsters, skills and level progression are abominable. It has mostly just been trial and error and playing through and playing through and balancing the enemies, and playing through again... Then I get overwhelmed and discouraged and stop.

Do you guys have any good ideas for game balance, as far as leveling, equipment and enemies go? I'm thinking about seeding treasure chests/the various shops with items and

Jun Watarase made a long, well thought post on the official forums disagreeing with Paul's proposed Clan mech/weapon implementations. The moderators deleted it because they thought it was a personal attack, but I think Jun Watarase makes several good points.

Many thanks to the internet warrior that screen capped the thread before it vaporized

Howdy! I've returned to PS2 after a year and over the past week or so I have read up on wikis and watched several enlightening youtube tutorials. I've gathered my bearings and I have a general idea of what I'm doing outside of combat but beyond that... I have no skill in combat. None. I die from gunfire out of nowhere, constantly get steamrolled by tanks and completely shut down by MAXes.

Years ago, I hit a wall in World of Tanks and I wound up making a video showcasing what I'm doing as a cry for help. The feedback was invaluable and I came a long way since then. Now it's time to ask reddit for some PS2 guidance and help. This is a typical game for me:

Hi guys. I'm currently using:

Monster Mod http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/35631//?

Monster Wars http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/18997//?

MM Addons http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14767//?

And... MM Conjuring http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15011//?

Some of the conjuring spells wont work and I've kind of deduced what's going on but I don't know how to fix it. There are several beasts that absolutely wont summon unless you're standing in a very particular place near a very particular patch/type of ground. It's like the spell thinks that about 90% of summonable locations are illegal or invalid unless you just so happen to fire the spell at that one particular spot on the ground. Once t

Im HR7, 240 hours in, and I'm working through the second half of the 7star quests so I mean, I havent been a whiny quitter yet.

But... I have a problem: the game just isnt fun anymore.

I just sit and look at the mission list of upgraded, higher rank monsters (b.diab, steel ura, azrath etc etc) and I just dread even starting a mission because I'm just going to get cheesed down to death. What was once a breezy jog through a 20 minute brawl with a HR beast has now become a grueling 30-35 minute turtle affair. I even have a freaking zvolta.

Today with arath: had full health and knocked him down twice in five minutes. I reloaded my gunlance and he got a lucky turn scrape thing in. So then he

I just can't get anything done with the baby rifle. The game doesn't feel balanced. I know I know: "What! Just get good! Pleb."

I'm not trying to cry or make waves or bash the game. I guess I'm mostly looking for help because life is very frustrating for me as a marine with just an assault rifle-- plenty of fancy weapons are dangling outside of my price range but in my hands, I don't think they'd do a lot of good.

It seems like I really only have enough time to afford a single shotgun and then a single flamethrower before the round ends. My record is 0-2 and my marine team hasn't won either. Truth be told, I actually feel guilty spending any amount of money on special weapons because I di
