Palworld - Everything you have ever wanted from a Pokemon game

[Morning Alarm]

How does that work for always online games?
I 'demoed' Rogue Trader, but was put off by their stupid policy of having premium edition saves not working in standard edition, so I just stopped playing.

It doesn't, stop giving your money to worthless corporate niggers. Or just watch a blind playthrough of some chick with huge tits on youtube for 2 hours and see if it's up your alley.

PSA: Work speed does NOT affect ranching, only fully condensing a Pal does.


Wish I learned this BEFORE I spent a ton of cake on max work speed Beegarde and Mozzarina, but at least I can use the Mozzarina to breed for max work speed Anubis. Not sure if the Beegarde can combo into any decent working Pals though.

Well... There go like 250 vixies...

Why did you quote me?
40K is pretty based, are you on a racism tarade? 40k was written by a white Bingbong, yes, what's your point that isn't trying to FUD a thread?

40K is owned by GW any money spent on Warhammer be it either Fantasy or 40K go to GW, who hate you.

I rather spend my money on gifting PalWorld, which I have done.

On a side note, any thoughts for what form of "evolution" will take with Palworld, assuming it is actually included?

To pull from Digimon, I’m more for the “Burst Evolution” style, which is a temporary upgrade that goes beyond the Digimon’s final form in Savers (guess you could also compare it to Pokémon’s Mega Evolution if you wanna be a fag). Maybe a temp 5-star form?

Speaking of which, I hope they give us less "cruel" ways to upgrade your buds in the future.

Agreed. Like maybe instead of Pal Souls you can train at buildings for those stat buffs, but it could be less efficient as a result. Not sure what you can do with condensing though. Maybe make it a “bond” thing, so you can either boost your Pals via forcibly merging with other Pals or somehow increase some “bond” in an ethical way that is NOT just running around, I do not want a “Friendship/Affection” stat affect gameplay ala Pokémon. Genuine cancer mechanic.

it'd be nice to roleplay a bit more with your buds and iterate on that in the future.

Based, I agree. Both as in “make up cool shit for your Pals and be able to make that work ingame” but also for RP servers. Would love for more clan iconography and “warfare” in that way so me and my best bud could RP as opposing warlords or something.

I fell out of pokemon bandwagon and lean towards digimon despite theirs only games are stuck in development hell or pay to win gacha that's limited to China at the moment and it should stay that way. This year is digimon 25th anniversary. Bandai tends to fuck up things royally with their niche IP.

Incredibly based, glad to hear you’re here in Hell with me. Which series do you tend to stick with? I tend to go to Adventure (fuck 02 I hate just about everyone except Ken and Oikawa), with my game focus being DW1 and the DS games.

And yes, Bandai will have some half-assed way to celebrate the Adventure 25th anniv and Toei will most likely animate something painful. I wonder if it will be Kizuna-adjacent or maybe call all the way back to the 1999 short film.

Well... There go like 250 vixies...

At least you can breed them for decent results? What I see is Vixy X Ice Reptyro = Digtoise, Vixy X Bushi = Gorirat, and Vixy + Tombat = Lunaris, any of those catch your fancy?

And you can get 2 UberChad 4-star Vixies.

Sacrifice Lifespan to make Frankenstein esque fusions, namely ability to manually to pick which traits to get two different pals and skills to boot.
On more humorous side pile monkeys with guns on top of eachother to make autonomous monkey tower defense.
Why not ramp up technology and armor up Pals all the way up to tanks? On lower tiers lamballs make fine trebuchet ammo

Pals do not need to evolve or loan more mechanics from other monster catching games.

Well, perhaps your idea of "augmenting" the pals could be that form of "evolution" so to speak. Though I am all for the idea of augmenting our buds the way you have described.

If we're going total lorefags into this, there was that crazy scientist dude that apparently made his own unique pal in that tower of his. Perhaps, if some form of evo comes into existence, comes in the form of the groundwork laid from that. Albeit one that keeps our own buds intact and without sacrificing our other ones.

That said, anything to make our other buds that have been laid by the wayside and boosting them up to par again would be very excellent. Think of a squad of our adorable sheep and monkeys armed to the teeth in a mini boss squad, kicking ass and taking names. A militia to pound whatever stands in our way into the dirt with excessive gunfire and superior firepower.

Going back to your idea of lamballs firing trebuchet ammo, why not take a page from the more ridiculous Command and Conquer Generals mods and have our lamballs be fired out of a cannon to suicide bomb our opposition? I swear, there are videos of GLA suicide bombers dropping in fired from a cannon or are airdropped with motorcycles into an enemy base that was glorious to behold. Just can't find the video in question for it.

Bleh. Not a fan of mega evolution in Pokemon for lore reasons, but I think it could be done in Palworld given how new it is. It has room to set the "ground rules" so to speak for how things work in their world, and it doesn't have the same baggage of bloat Pokemon has now. Question is what form that would take, and the logistics of designing and balancing whatever end results that may come out of that.

Agreed. Like maybe instead of Pal Souls you can train at buildings for those stat buffs, but it could be less efficient as a result. Not sure what you can do with condensing though.

Genuine cancer mechanic.

Depends on how said friendship mechanic works, seeing as Palworld was a bit overt with the themes of not overworking your pals. If they want to incentivize treating your pals well beyond the player's good will, they need to add mechanics to that effect to balance that out. Something that is not strictly better persay, but as a sidegrade path so to speak.

If they were to allow for more than one pal out on the battlefield, provided the engine were to allow for such along with balancing, perhaps they could add features where your pals synergize their abilities in tandem to compliment each other, covering each others weaknesses. Hell, perhaps augmenting the player, such as with electric granting you faster agility and speed in closer quarter combat, or ground/rock making you tankier, or fire doing what it says on the box and giving you extra elemental damage, so on and so forth.

Based, I agree. Both as in “make up cool shit for your Pals and be able to make that work ingame” but also for RP servers. Would love for more clan iconography and “warfare” in that way so me and my best bud could RP as opposing warlords or something.

Seeing as the groundwork is already there, if they were to expand on the story elements for that, such could be a way to help augment your mon in making them and you more powerful, giving you an incentive to treat them well. Though granted, how to balance that out without taking away the freedom from the other path is something I am still mulling over. To be good is something meaningful. It does not need to be hard, persay, but it has to *mean* something, in contrast in doing "evil" in the game as it may be deemed.

I think a template for this would be Princess Monoke, regarding how the princess of Iron Town has a good reason for the things she does, regardless of the harm it may cause nature likewise. In a similar vein, the Forest Spirit is not scornful of Mankind either, because Mankind's actions in that context are a part of mother nature likewise, just as a force of nature.

I think that would be a fun theme to play with, going forward. I doubt Pocketpair will put that much thought into a fun monster rump, but it's fun to dream.

If you have the time, I think these two videos may flesh out that idea better for what I am thinking, albeit not in a direct fashion.

But to provide a tl'dr, Irontown provides a safe haven for those within, the downtrodden protected, even down to the leapars.

In a similar vein, I think something could be done with the idea in Palworld, if Pocketpair were so inclined. But again, that's probably beyond the scope and ambitions of what they are going for. Best we can hope for is a some decent fan project to implement the idea. God knows I don't have the writing chops for that.

Ghost Game ended it seems Vital Bracelet line with it. Bandai tends to bring back toys to life between Vpets and drop them like hot garbage and kill off their companion apps. Digimoncon is few months away, third digital story game has been in development hell since 2020 and China exclusive mobile game Digimon source code might see global release. Much like Tamagotchi had it's own iPhone only game.

Digimon fans have been asking for continuation to Next Order or pick up X program Saga which Bandai dropped now that Seekers ended, which is more or less Digimon end game yggdrasill decided to solve server overpopulation by copying holocaust program, Bandai seems to focus on three way faction battles, which is seen in VB Arena app.

From what I asked Toei is pretty much is tethered to Bandai, now that happy science bux are gone. Bandai will announce yet another reboot.

Bandai had a thing going when they held vpet tournament, last one was in 1999. Only thing that Bandai officially announced was "meta card game" whatever that means, I don't know. TCGs with shit rules and lax cheat prevention methods makes Bandai even worse than WoTC.

Bandai's obsession is on Tamagotchi UNI, trying to shill run for money which means Digimon gets disregarded, again. If it wasn't for free fan games with PvP fandom would he dead in the water.

Bandai better take notes from Yokai Watch and PalWorld if they want to keep Digimon afloat. I'm not autistic enough to play or waste money on card games. I'm pretty sure that I'm not alone in this.

PalWorld seem to learn mistakes of others and meet demand when possible. That's comforting at least.

Old 40K is long dead, Wokehammer replaced it years ago.

PalWorld didn't Grift on Kickstarter for one, so I know where my money goes.

Looks like the high has finally fallen enough for CS2 to come ahead of Palworld.

I wonder if Palworld will peak even higher than 2mil... It's only been 2-3 weeks.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

Someone mentioned the various abandoned settlements on the prior pages, I briefly wondered if they might use some of those in future updates to provide larger settlements and even make reconstruction of them a thing, possibly unearthing old Pal Boxes within the locations that can be repaired.

Then I went a bit further down that line of thinking and considered the fact that when Pals get injured they get put into the boxes to recover. If we assume that the boxes also keep them alive indefinitely combined with the fact that humans can be put into Pal boxes they could use that mechanic as an excuse to drag NPCs from the setting's past to expand the plot by repairing damaged Pal Boxes they are still stored in.

Both CS and Dota2 are free and prone to botters. Not like it matters. Palworld is a smashing success, PP didn't just strike gold, they struck diamonds. Can't remember the last time I couldn't get a vidya off my mind and timetable.

"I know that is not back up you were expecting, try to make due with the Merc and that lamball"

Reminder you can catch humans too and use them as back up/meat shields.

I haven't tried give the degenerate lizard human victims to breed with or condense PEDA member essence to make Aniki to for 2nd Aniki memorial to have a human boss of the gym,

There's something cathartic about simian posting simians with Kalashnikovs here.

One could argue PalWorld is a souls like with stats, dodge roll, stamina bar and variety of weapons and armor bosses aren't made in solo combat in mind, so traditional souls like game is impossible with higher difficulties. High end crafting need pals working on them freeing your finger. Traditional speed running and beating bosses und such would be harder than Elden Ring speed running.
No pals/max difficulty/Solo/100% bosses killed.
That would make Elden Ring veterans feel sheer pain from it all.

Incredibly based, glad to hear you’re here in Hell with me. Which series do you tend to stick with? I tend to go to Adventure (fuck 02 I hate just about everyone except Ken and Oikawa), with my game focus being DW1 and the DS games.

Tamers is hands down the best digimon anime.

Kinda stuck in a sad middle state where I have almost perfect passives for workspeed, but not quite.

That's true.

Think of a squad of our adorable sheep and monkeys armed to the teeth in a mini boss squad, kicking ass and taking names. A militia to pound whatever stands in our way into the dirt with excessive gunfire and superior firepower.

My crackpot idea is to make them go on expeditions to do dungeons, both to level up and to get some very slow passive loot income. that gets faster with higher levelled pals

Depends on what notes you mean. Because I love the evolving -> devolving loop to work towards max stats on digimon cyber sleuth (Altough, it could be a bit less grindy)

Game being fun > game being "unique" (Where unique stands for being the same slop as many other existing games)

Palworld is derivative, but also something new in the combination of the derivative parts. Most AAA is just derivative.

Fun open world and game engine that isn't Unity. Active alive world instead of static and bland (I got platinum trophies in both cyber sleuth and Next Order)

Once you've done everything, you can't make your own fun and no steam rolling the game with team with stat piercing attacks don't count in new game+, plus Palandindramon is shit.

Imagine you are Derek Prince. You have a bunch of industry legends on your cast, and you are given a bit role for a comic relief character called Impmon. This time though you can tell they are phoning it in. They aren't doing good enough. So you decide to go HAM, and manage to completely overshadow the rest of the actors in the third act.
