I'm a big fan of the real-time "developer commentary" from Tango during runs. Having someone else to make sporadic comments makes it even better than just solo commentary.

[@jadondavid8272]

Me too! It's one of my favorite parts of watching decked out

[@lily-wx1vb]

If you're not already watching the streams on Tangos twitch (or the vods his second channel on YT), it's been 90% developer commentary while watching DO runs lately, and its glorious

[@junoantaresofficial]

I enjoy both options. The solo runs are great because it feels like the runner gets very immersed, but the banter between tango and the player is delicious. My favorites with Tango so far are Bdubs, Etho and Pearl.

[@Zeldrake]

Tango: "but you're gonna need another key to get back in right?" Etho: *giggles* "Who're you talking to?"

I love the Etho-Gem interactions because it always feels like Gem is experiencing a "never meet your heroes" moment because, even after 15 years of KZbin, Etho is still just this goofy guy.

[@diggoran]

I think she's experiencing the exception to the rule. In this case the hero is worthy of the hype (except when he's washed up :P)

[@lomiification]

Yeah. Etho seems to be exactly what you expect, and he'll find a way to be a fun goof with you

[@junoantaresofficial]

I feel like she just treats him like an older brother, honestly. The vibes I get from her interactions with him are not someone interacting with someone they think is a hero/celebrity, but more of a friendly teasing rival.

[@BlahCraft1]

FYI since Etho didn't include it in his video: For everyone confused in a week why on Etho isn't posting his phase 4 runs, phase 4 will be a little different. Because Tango is going on a much needed vacation, phase 4 will consist of 2 weeks, minus this Thursday to next Monday (9 game days in total), as the dungeon will be closed while Tango is away. Because this phase is longer, everyone will be receiving more keys than usual (instead of 8 to 14, 9 to 16, and before anyone asks, Etho received 9).

[@F2PAlius]

Etho Recieved 9 but has enough tomes in the beginning that equal 2+ runs. essentially having the same power level as doing 11 runs :)

[@mightbeahuman3442]

The minimum? Why?

Thanks for the heads up! Some of us don't have time to follow all the goings-on. Appreciate you!

​@@mightbeahuman3442tango calculates the number of shards each hermit gets through their win rate and number of frost embers taken out of the dungeon. this is for game balance and allow others to catch up so that there isn't a large win gap like last decked out. etho has been doing too well, so he gets the minimum number of shards (knowing etho, he will end up buying more from the store)

[@mailee2353]

@@mightbeahuman3442he won this round. The game is balanced so that the winners of each round get less so that the others have a chance to catch up if there’s a large disparity in tomes submitted. There is a soft cap for the total number of keys you can have tho so you cant just stock up on keys.

[@nanorex_gaming]

I did not realize the extent to which Etho is dominating here. He got 6 extra tomes on top of the 14???

[@DesTr069]

Etho is so freaking cracked, lmao. Amazing reaction time, good at keeping track of the ravagers, knows the layout very well, always plans an escape route… not even mentioning his pretty good luck, and his overall game strategy

[@ritasonka330]

By almost every metric--Success rate, extra embers/crowns retrieved, deck cost, points --Etho is dominating. He is truly in a league of his own. Realistically, unless one of the hermits trains and schemes like crazy (some of them are trying, admittedly!), Decked Out 2 is a fight for second place.

He is so humble when the hermits were surprised he got 14 tomes, he didn't tell them he actually had 6 more for 20 in phase 3.

[@liamengram6326]

He didn't tell them because he doesn't want them to know he already has 6 stacked up and lready to submit for Phase 4. That's a major part of the strategy is trying to submit enough to secure a win while going in to the next phase with a leg up.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

That's not humility, that's strategy.

he finished with 2 more tomes then 3rd place of this phase, he was also really smart with submitting 14 since it meant to beat they would of had to submit atleast 120 frost embers or waste efficiency (becuase 3 tombs is more expensive per tomb then 5) so people would of had to complete 3 lvl 3 runs to be able to submit as many as etho did

​​@@7angels844 how are u wrong in every single way haha

[@BlahCraft1]

28:52 and 1:24:35 I believe what Etho did was make use of mob ai's preference to wander in the direction they're pointing. He was able to angle the ravagers looking at him, so that when they lost line of sight, and started wandering, they'd scoot themselves away.

[@sankang9425]

He's a master Ravager tamer I tell ya'

[@shipwreck9146]

Exactly right, I would've never thought of that if I hadn't seen him do it. That's a brilliant use of highly niche game mechanics.

[@justinfarnell2284]

They will track you through blocks for a few moments until they de-agro. Hypno has been using this for a while now. I'm guessing Etho picked the trick up from him recently?!

[@Themoonisachees]

mobs don't prefer to go forwards when wandering, they choose a nearby solid block and path to that. what's happening is that the pathing algorithm sees no actual way for the ravager to get to etho, so it simply prefers getting as close as possible, even if "as close as possible" means there's a wall, or a floor in between them. then it looses LoS and that's it.

[@Ithenna]

@@Themoonisachees Yeah, but when they randomly wander, they also seem to either path directly in front of them (assuming it's a valid location) if they choose to move immediately, or they stand still for a bit and slowly turn a random direction before they decide to move again. They don't usually whip around and start moving back the way they came right off the bat. So they may choose a random valid block to pathfind to, but I suspect the block chosen is within their line of sight. If so, then if LOS is broken while they are facing a particular direction, there's a high likelihood they'll start wandering somewhere along that direction as well if they don't just sit still entirely for at least a couple seconds.

I loved that tango finally realized it was from Seinfeld, when Kramer feeds the horse rusty like 28 Costco cans of beefarino, but didn’t remember that scene. I love Seinfeld so I recognized it on tangos stream lol.

[@ryanfalcigno323]

the fact that you are starting phase 4 with 6 tomes, and are comfortable enough to consistently get 40+ embers is insane. phase 4 is gonna be sooo good

I love how happy tango gets when etho gets a level 3 compass lol. he really loves watching people s̶u̶f̶f̶e̶r̶ play his game Also the end when bdubs kept looking over at etho like "how many tomes do you have" was funny. 2:06:06 why is the bed named "A Saint Bernard" lol

@@YaBoiGabe31 neither of those are Vechs maps if that's what you meant (iirc Etho's only played those either solo or with OOGE). They're CTM maps though although diversity only technically so

[@ohjearelle]

I’ve seen a majority of these runs thru Tango’s stream and I’m still hyped for them regardless, but the unseen ones are on a whole other level of excitement. Congratulations on surviving your first two deadly runs and winning the phase! Go win this whole thing!!!

[@BlahCraft1]

Just a reminder, but Tango's floor tracking system for which floor gets ember and treasure drops can handle people going down, can handle people coming back up, buck can't handle people going down, then up, then back down. This means, when Etho did the maneuver and temporarily went back up to level 2, before returning to level 3, all treasure and ember drops went to level 2, instead of level 3.

[@tobelix6397]

Did Tago say that on a livestream or how do you know that? I mean, why wouldn't it change back to floor 3rd when you insert another key?

[@StuffandThings_]

Etho knows, but strategically forfeits the treasure when necessary. He's done it a couple times, been told off by Tango, and been perfectly fine with it lmao

[@BlahCraft1]

@@tobelix6397 Yes, from many of Tango's streams. It's a "loop" of droppers above locked hoppers, and it's set up in a way that you can't "go back down."

[@FaiienWings]

interesting

[@tobelix6397]

@@BlahCraft1 Thanks for the clarification. Based on your reply and other comments, I figure it's more of a game design desicion than a technical problem. Because I'm sure Tango could develop a system to handle this type of situation.

[@panosmpasiourasserrano7449]

I just LOVE these longer/less edited videos. I definitely appreciate the ones where more editing has gone into (per minute at least, I assume that editing such a long video can't be easy), but every now and then having some like this is a nice treat. While edited ones are more "professional", the less edited ones help me immerse into the game and really feel a part of what's going on instead of just treating the video like a documentary of shorts. In any case, loved the video!

[@Mik4te]

You need to plug a heartbeat detector to your arm and with an overlay in the video when you run decked out so we can see in real time how fast your heart gets playing that game

Etho, you should get the dungeon lackey and do a level 3 run, using the lackey as a sacrifice/distraction for the wardens. You could really do some crazy deep level 3 stuff that way and maybe even search for secrets.

Yeah 2 free evasions, a decoy, x-ray vision (from tango's freecam), 2 cooked pork chops, and 4 splash potions seems like a great deal for 8 crowns
