What are your gripes/criticism of TiTs?

[Balek Crisp]

Nastizia can only be encountered after completing Zheng Shi, and she was balanced around that fact. Ramis has no triggers, she appears during the night every other day at Anon's. This is the first time I've heard anyone say it's a problem that they can appear together.

The larger point about never needing to go back to Tavros is an intriguing one, but surely there a lot of reasons to do so? There's the nursery, skill training via Semith, various quests that ping you, Sera's salary, specific TFs that are only sold there... perhaps the game needs something mechanical, like item drops that only sell via a vendor that is situated there.

The main TF I could think of at most would be Pussybloom &/or Dovebalm, and that's about it for the most part. Everything else is generally available at every other planet; Tarkus, Mhen'ga, and NT all have the same vending machines just scattered elsewhere.

As for Zheng Shi itself, the game balance for all involved kind of makes every fight a cheese. Urblog gives you a massive shield boost at the cost of evasion(which honestly needs to matter more), S(B).D.S are far too massive benefits during battle to the point that every enemy kinda ends up being rolled over by said shield, and the enemies there are generally too horny to not get easily seduced by whatever walks into there; if nothing else you can get the Heavy Slut Ray after farming credits. The only part of the game that has since forced stat gain has been Dhaal, because enemy stats and levels are far too high to compete with normally. I actually completed the entirety of Zheng Shi myself as a level 1 Steele; which I had done before as a sort of challenge to myself in order to really test for how broken certain aspects of the game were(the real thing that needs to be nerfed/countered may be surprising).

The Jack/Jill Steele Run

So I made up this very stupid run idea a long time ago while I was idly playing the game out of boredom, and so I've decided to post about it after I finally made it to Dhaal after failing a metric fuck ton of times. I'll post a guide as on how to do it as well here. First however, some rules...

[Balek Crisp]

I always go to Tarvos first since it has Aina, Sera, strap on for Anno (once I acquired her).. Mirrin apartment, Jasvalla.. there is a lot going on there to be fair. Riya if I play a pure female Steele. Dont you need to go to Tarvos for the email from Big T?

That's NT, and even then, optional email like the other two.

And that's all technically meta knowledge. I'm saying in-game there isn't any actual reason to visit Tavros on the surface; Tavros offers being subby in order to get money once you really look deep, and it has a few TFs along with that strap on, but that's about it. It's basically just side-stuff ville after that. Canadia technically has this issue, but that appears late-game of the current patch anyways, and has characters that already give you a lot of reason for being there, such as Del, Kiro, and whoever is that lady from the tentacle parasite quest you have an extremely rare chance of getting when heading to/leaving Myrellion.

You can buy Dove Balm from Dr. Lessau.
Vending machines have general-purpose items, but there are some specialty TFs that can only be bought on Tavros.

I'm concerned they've left Levels 11-12 for too long. Encounters are being designed to be beatable by level 10 PCs, and I expect they'll be a lot easer when the cap is raised. Maybe too easy.

Technically, anything but the critical path is meta knowledge. The fact that you now effectively start on FIRST-14 instead of Tavros hurts it. You can't go look at the shops while you're there during the tutorial. It being the first option on the default Fly menu suggests it's important, at least.

Speaking of meta knowledge, items that are level locked. Why go back to Carl when you've already seen what he has? (Dr. Badger to a lesser extent. You might want a consumable from her.) Turns out, he sells the Shock Bow, one of the best weapons for a Ranged Smuggler (there are only two Ranged Stun weapons).

Enemies will be adjusted when the level cap increases. I just talked with Fen yesterday about adjusting Dhaal's dungeon upwards.

 

[Hanzo]

Why not fix lust combat before making adjustments, so more adjustments won't be required when that gets done, which is more time efficient. Assuming that there's a plan to fix lust combat that goes beyond a damage cap for lust weapons, similar to the one preventing teases to oneshot enemies early game.

I mean, lust weapon damage grows by Physique (or Aim) / 2, NPC Lust defense by Willpower / 4 and PC Tease damage doesn't grow with stats at all. That problem isn't going to fade away, in fact it's only going to get worse as the numbers get bigger.

Fully agree with this. My build was more or less solely a "can I beat this boss without cheesing them with tease?" thing, while I ended all other fights as quickly as possible, whether that be via teasing or by making the enemy's hp reach 0.

 

[Balek Crisp]

You really don't want to be mixing Melee and Ranged in this game. Charge Weapon makes you Melee weapon do Electric, so an Electric Ranged is redundant anyway. I'd recommend the Warden Shield, NaN Deconstructor/Hirudo Devourer (to regen Health) or the Heavy Slut Ray (since you can only fire it once/round anyway and it can Stun with high Aim).

100% Intelligence was way too much. I did a Melee Tech and completely ignored Physique, just to see if I could. I'm certain the other thing that got Tech Specialists nerfed was Dumb4Cum, which effectively gave you 4 extra levels worth of Intelligence (at level 10). If you also got the Cybernetic Subprocessor, you'd have +6 levels. There's also the fact that Tech Specialists have the worst in-class Energy regen. so making it a buff you have to keep reapplying might be an issue.

In my opinion Drain is useful, but Stun is overpowered, especially after Level 10. Two rounds of Shield regen makes (made?) you effectively invincible. They reworked Stun from a flat 1/4 chance to a Physique/Aim vs Physique check, so if you have a high stat, you're likely to Stun every other round, making it even more reliable. I found I hardly ever used Charge Weapon past a certain point. Granted, I haven't really played in a while, because of all the bugs.
Burn Chance is worthless, though.

From an RP perspective, once you get to a Probe first you can go where you want until you head to the next planet, because the Rival doesn't know the coordinates. IIRC, if you get Tarkus' Probe, the Rival says they'll just follow you.

That's news to me.

You don't need to buy any ships, if you can get the password to Zheng Shi. Then you steal the Sidewinder. Or you abuse Blackjack for the money to buy whatever you want. If you do want to buy something from Myrellion before Zheng Shi, you can get a lot of money on Uveto: Farm Savicite & Lucinite (& sell misc drops), bet at the Stadium (with high Intelligence) or be a 'Towelboy/girl'.

Ship combat had always been planned but was heavily delayed by real-life issues. The biggest problems I see are not enough incentive to move from planet to planet (and get into trouble), not enough types of enemies to fight. It's also impossible to fail to run away, assuming you run at the start.
Ships are also supposed to have variable Storage capacity, but I'm fairly certain it's bugged.

Semith is essentially worthless as training. 1 Slow Stat Gain/day? You're much better off with Syri, or if you don't care for her, using the level up points.

I'd beg to differ on that first bit. The idea is to encourage a linear growth where Steele is capable of fending off any enemy at a moment's notice. In a practical situation, you're not really warned what you're going to be facing. Case example: Nym Foe, who has tits so big they're immune to anything that deals the slightest kinetic damage, forcing you to use energy weapons. Also the roaming encounters. Steele should have to do a lot to be prepared for even the worst of situations; because as demonstrated with Janeria, a whole tech build centered around melee damage can be put at a massive damage. Similarly, you cannot drain health from the likes of Urbolg & other highly shielded enemies due to their shields; and you cannot stun them via weapons without abilities. The Rush should be forcing you to become versatile, especially if you're wanting to remain pure.

The 100% intelligence I'll agree on, but not everybody will go that far to minmax their INT stat.

Drain is actually far more useful; especially for group fights. Stun is powerful as of right now, sure, but unless you're a mercenary, you basically need to be able to take more damage if you want to beat whole groups. The most dangerous combats in this game are either enemies who are nearly invincible, lust fighters, or a whole friggen swarm of enemies with their own turns in combat. You also don't end up wasting your turn as well; and if the weapon has Greater Draining, your enemies' shields basically count as your own, basically making them waste their turns when they could've tried to increase lust. And yeah sure, there's people like Sophora, but Sophora doesn't go by the normal rules of combat; plus she still falls to stun-lock. Is about as annoying as the corona flamer and sydian male/cuntboy if anything else; the shields being bypassed completely means I am basically forced to carry around panic heals just in case this stuff is tried on me. Most irritatingly too is that Mercenary remains the only one with a healing ability.

The one regarding Tarkus is actually untrue. The Rival is solely getting to the probes to grab the coordinates; stealing them is secondary. It's why the Mhen'ga probe remained in spite of the fact the Rival took the coordinates from it should you win against Dane(not sure if it remains should you lose). This is referenced even in Myrellion, where if taking the "Peace" option Steele states they only need the codes, not the probe itself. And if that logic applies to Steele, the same applies to the Rival. It's moreover a matter of being successfully able to get close to the probe so you can steal the coordinates. This is also referenced in Dane's email should you decide to commit alien genocide by kicking off World War Z for Myrellion, but haven't completed the quest(get level 8 instead of getting the probe, and do KaraQuest in order to set the exploding timer). So the race is 100% a matter of 'who is able to get ahead of the other' and 'is the other guy trapped/dicking around so I have a chance at getting ahead?'. As for other content regarding the rival on planets like Tavros or Uveto; I wouldn't know how that all works out. I'd imagine though that this would mean the Rival is attempting to watch and see if you've found anything that's larger than Steele Tech or check to see if you've given up; alternatively, the Rival secretly wants non-alien bitches, but can't get them like you can, and so they never reveal that they suck at it.

You do need to buy ships if you want to have an increased harem size(stuck with 4 otherwise if not less than). Besides, not the subject of focus here. The focus was how absurdly expensive Myrellion's ships are compared to Tavros and Tarkus; and how the most powerful ship in the game is not one you have to physically buy or obtain through a side-quest you need to look for. The Blade is a great example of a ship well-earned; the Sidewinder should've been for something far later when you've outright asserted dominance over every single gang in Zheng Shi in some shape or form because supposedly, every pirate on Zheng Shi wants your ass for having stolen the ship.

Semith has a bit more use than it initially looks like. If you smoke a blunt with him, then grab Fazian's 8 hour XP buff on Myrellion, you can speed your way to level 10 really quickly by fighting the Wetras in the Wetraxxal Den. Also before-hand he'd just give you a flat 1 INT increase, and I have no idea why that was changed. That used to make him very valuable for those that wanted a cheap skip without Syri's help. Otherwise yeah, he's kinda useless for training, and it's really annoying how his chess game is basically just 50/50 instead of having increased chances in Steele's favor should Steele have ridiculously high INT. I swear Nonesuch gave him plot armor so that he wouldn't be clowned on like Syri is when Steele has max aim.

 

[bibbitybobbityboop]

Regarding the Melee Tech, mine doesn't feel very hard-countered recently. Darth BunBun is more or less her bitch, the pyro with mommy issues is annoying more than anything else, and for Janeria, she just had to leave Charge Weapon unused, though that was the most distressing opponent she found so far. Urbolg was a challenge at level 8, but ultimately doable, and no challenge at level 10 (he was more difficult for my Snuggler).

The Techubus is disadvantaged against these opponents, but it's not decisive. Maybe they still qualify as a soft counter.

I think my own gripe would be more along the lines of incomplete content.

 

[Skylinegtr34]

for me it the genetic makeup system, it’s annoying that my race changes because I want my character to be thicc, I liked the old one better since it was more accurate and made more sense and didn’t change the description of your character

Well see, the issue with that is that certain physiologies are more in line with other species even IRL. Take for instance the chimpanzee hips versus the human hips. The chimpanzee setup allows for less birth complications and pain; meanwhile the human setup is extremely painful.

https://c8.alamy.com/comp/BB4G5F/comparison-of-the-pelvis-and-lower-limbs-of-a-chimpanzee-an-australopith-BB4G5F.jpg

So therefore, if you have a natural thickness, that's going to make you more like a species. Honestly though; I'd just ask for a fat thing to keep track of.

 

[Skylinegtr34]

I still like the older version more

 

[A1teros]

I appreciate that the new version let's me take a ton of TF's and still count as human as long as I'm bipedal with two arms, two eyes, one nose, one mouth, and one upper head. I imagine this is what Victor Steele did except he didn't have the benefit of god mods, save resetting, and microbots so his taint maxed out real quick. God bless your final legacy pops.

One gripe I have is that getting the specific mods you want is incredibly annoying, but this seems to be true in lore as well. For a smut focused game it's annoying when I want to get at certain content, but I also respect having that kind of consistency. I would suggest being able to control TF's in the cheat menu in order to have the best of both worlds, but idk how feasible that'd be in javascript.

 

[Theron]

There's a disappointing lack of opportunities for Steele to use genitails in the Dhaal Dungeon. The only one I'm aware of is after the fight with Mhorgenn, where you can use a cock-tail on Feruze.

 

[Off The Record]

The 10th-level general perk for mercenaries, single minded, seems useless. The perk increases willpower to the maximum value once hp drops to 50%. But if I'm at 50% hp, I'm worried about a defeat from damage, not from lust. How is resistance to lust going to help me?

In general, general class perks could use some revision, but single minded is a glaring example.

In addition to that, I honestly don't even see much use for willpower. Yeah, sure, there's the occasional enemy that does nothing but lust attacks, or has high lust potential damage, but seeing as having less than full HP or shields is a massive risk to begin with, I'd be more worried about that over anything else.

Single-minded should take affect when the shields are down at the minimum, and like with the Shizuya fight, makes the player immune to all forms of lust once this happens.

I suspect the Team intended to use willpower for psionic abilities. The flavor text for the stat suggests as much, if Steele ever accquires psionic abilities, that is (a doubt also stated in the flavor text). Then, there's the broken psi amp from Zaalt that the Team has yet to use for anything. Zaalt himself uses some psionic powers during the fight, and iirc, the broken psi amp is the cause of this.

 

[Damien Soulfire]

If I was going to have to take a poke at it I would say that my biggest gripe is the fact that there seems to be more love for herm and female character playthroughs, at least in the smut department.
For one there aren't nearly the same amount of aliens that you can knockup as there are those that can knock you up.

I think there is only 1 Goblini you can impregnate and you don't get the kid I don't think, but you can be knocked up by any male goblini save for the cyborg herm in Dhaal.

My other gripes is sorta basic tbh. Embry remains in an incomplete state, you can't really Dom Ardia or Jasvalla, can't recruit the Rat Raiders to your crew or for the Nursery plus you can't knock them up or be knocked up by them, can't tame the snek girls, oddly enough can't recruit the Corona Forgelord, can't recruit a female Milodan for either the crew or the nursey, can't knock up Bizzy and Dizzy, can't turn the femboys Lund, Kass, or Vark. Can't knock up Rhea or Anno despite forming relationships with them, can't recruit Briha and give her more character depth despite having potential.
Myrellion needs a bit more love, I guess that is it. For now anyhow

Do you have any idea the ratio between males and females in the game? I mean just look at your crew. Out of all the possible crew members only 2 are males one of which is a femboy, the rest are all either female or dickgirls all of which have no problem sleeping with a guy. Rest assured whatever smut content females and herms are getting with there vags is nothing compared to what males and dickgirls are getting with there dicks and/or asses

There is 1 male gob in the game that you can have sex with(as opposed to the 6 females) and he cannot knock you up. And yes you do get the kid/s from the gob girl on Dhaal. And there are plenty of other characters you can knock up and eggnacies you can get without a vagina. Even if there are more PC pregnancies in the game I don't think the gap is as big as you make it out to be.

I tend to disagree, even taking the crew into account there are more male/herm NPC on female/herm pc situations. But hey let's agree to disagree and keep things civil.
As for the Goblini, I am more or less complaining by how few there are. Also are you even able to get the kids you have with the Chemist?

That's fine but please don't spout misinformation that would set someone on a wild goose chase for male Gabilani that will knock them up.

Having read through the chain; kindly shut your unrealistic ideas off and stop your gaslighting immediately so civil discussion can exist here.

I don't think you seem to realize that porn stars aren't meant to get knocked up, as if a porn star were to get knocked up, they cannot reliably have sex without endangering the baby. I can understand Dizzy to an extent, but not Bizzy who's life revolves around porn making and needs to be on birth control for professional reasons.

Ironically; the planet with the most aliens that will knock you up is the very planet you're wanting more content on(bothrioc, nyrea, cockvine, myr-nyrea hybrid, quaddomes, taivara, deep queen, tentacle eggs.).

Nusha is the only pregnancy related goblin thus far, and Nusha is a she.

The preg to impreg ratio is 29-25(shave off 1 on the impreg side if not counting Irellia), not counting unnatural impregnation which affects everyone equally. If you think there's not enough aliens to impregnate and have pregnant content with, you have not been looking. This is also the number visible on the wiki alone btw, Haley can be impregnated but she's not listed on the wiki just like Nusha.

Anno is puppyslut, not wife. And Reaha is likely infertile(read up NT lore about what's in the water), or just not willing to have children because unlike Sera she's not comfortable being a broodmother while at rock bottom & with only combat & sexual skills to speak of. You have the same reasons for them both as people wanting to get impregnated by Syri.

The only real complaint here is that there's not enough male goblins and goblin pregnancy, which while I can completely get behind, also defeats your own words of "not enough aliens to impregnate". At which point you should be requesting Vanae/Milo/Korgonne female NPC pregnancy to actually be implemented in some lore-accurate fashion, and perhaps gold myr & sydian pregnancy as well, since those are some of the only aliens in the whole game you cannot impregnate, or get pregnant by, all save for Kui-Tan & miscellaneous core races which do without both. Everything else has been said before by others, with only the Briha thing being a valid one.

 

[A1teros]

I dislike that the option on the 1 button for Reaha's wake up event is such a strong 'fuck off'. I actually wouldn't normally choose fuck off at all but if I'm rushing through sleep I might end up pressing it by accident and then feel bad enough that I have to reload a save. I'm surprised that's not a more tame option especially if your Steele has a kind personality.

Maybe don't tell people to fuck off when they correct you for being wrong.

You're welcome to voice criticism in this thread but if it doesn't have an actual basis in reality you shouldn't be surprised when people correct you.

 

[Corneel]

I had a major gripe with Dhaal, but have now only a minor one.

My major gripe was that the random encounters where too effing difficult. And level 11 or even 12, while I'm stuck at 10. Unfair! I frankly got frustrated, and planned on throwing a tantrum in this thread.

And then I started paying attention. Experimenting. Strategising. And even with my probably sub-optimal build, I managed to find tactics and strategies to reliably beat the randoms (or at least some of the time in case of the Hydra). One draw back though, I need a number of different items and weapons to be able to deal with each one of them, so a good part of inventory space is taken up.

However on Dhaal that isn't a problem because - and now comes my minor gripe - enemies hardly ever drop any items as loot. Why not? I mean, it's not for the money or so, at this point that's less of a problem and enemies do drop credits. But loot-items give a bit of colour to the different planets and species encountered (and provide possible plot hooks for fetch quests like Kimber's), so I was a bit disappointed.

If you think that was hostile bruv, I could easily do a helluva lot more and use so many more insults that a drill sarge would be envious. However, there are no fucks in a 69 mile radius of my current location. In reality, that is just simply you refusing to read past the first sentence, because you know you're wrong on this.

You literally started all this stuff with "let's agree to disagree" and "i've humored this long enough", two key phrases of not only bad conversational skills(like, really on that former one? do you know what that means?), but also extremely passive aggressive gaslighting done in an attempt to portray yourself as civil and the opponent as unreasonable. If you had just simply visited the wiki, which although is somewhat outdated, you'd easily realize that nearly all your "grievances" had not only already been solved, but it is 100% the other way around for males. Herms & Females in the crew outweigh the males by quite literally 2-20(herms consisting of 4-11 depending on how many dicks the player applies/removes to the feminine crew), not counting the two goo companions and Bess/Ben, as the former are technically sexless and the latter is a robot with infinite modifications that can be applied.

The ratio of this is later planned to be changed to 5-20 based on current info about who becomes crew next on the wiki(Lund, Dane, Vark), but that's about it. Nothing else.

I don't wanna take part in this argument since I already had my own experiences with people feeling the need to tell my why my personal opinions are wrong in threads like "What content would you like added" and the gripes ones, so I won't even get into it.

But:

"let's agree to disagree"

Bullshit. That's a great way to end an argument and has nothing to do with having bad conversational skills. You won't convince an orange juice drinker that milk tastes better than orange juice, even if it's my opinion and obviously I'm always right.

€: If anyone really wants to post their gripes with any of the two smut games, then consider doing so in the f95zone-forum threads about them. Unlike here where you have people defending their favourite holy grail of horse pp pron gaemz with their lives, there you have people doing the exact opposite. Just as much as of an echo chamber, same amount of numbskulls, but you won't get hit with a wall of text just for expressing something you dislike about any of the projects.

I have a strong feeling that's sarcasm, so I won't comment too much on that(it being a great way to end an argument to be specific). However, that line is infamously bad because it ends the conversation about a subject without reaching an actual conclusion, due to being so overtly dismissive. Henceforth it leaves behind this unnecessary gap, a cockblock of sorts if you will, between any mutual understanding as well as the actual willingness to be open-minded and help both sides improve. It's a very close-minded thing to just casually turn off any counter-criticism or criticism without giving it close analysis, sometimes with a few other eyes to look at it.

A lot of college professors I've talked to about it said that saying this statement is just a lazy attempt at moving on, and that it's a very common mistake out there for people to use this. Henceforth why I'm getting into the logistics.
