@@Mochi-g4e oh, that reminds me of a character in an episode of that old "wonder woman" TV show, the one with Linda Carter. she had a weird "jinx" power that seemed to reverse the odds of things happening. right at the beginning, two guys are working on something explosive, and one guy says, "relax, the odds of a misfire are a million to one." then SHE walks by. the second guy says, "on, no, not HER! BOOM! later a scientist is trying to study her. she spins a roulette wheel, and it come up "00" several times, then the lights in the lab flicker... she then flips a coin repeatedly... *and makes it land on edge twice in a row* ! later yet a villain drags her along on a heist and steals some sort of Laser weapon, using her to Jinx the security. he then lets her go, and Wonder Woman asks her if she knows what the villain intends to do next. she says she heard him say something about causing a city-wide blackout. that's all I remember of that episode.

I also have the luck super power but it behaves more like rng then the normal big luck boost

[@TumzunAGozi]

Just to make some context on the gameplay: Spiff's gameplay is on a recent (about 2-3 weeks old) BETA version and this entire Luck system got rebalanced in the LIVE version, that released this week, by replacing this Universal Luck stat with having Individual Luck bonuses for specific stuff (weapon/ability luck, perk luck, totem luck, loot rarity luck). So basically Spiff got really lucky and fast to be able to make this video because it was only from a couple days to a week (2 days for this luck system in the video and a week for the nerfed version of this luck system) until this universal luck or this (sort of) broken version of the game lived then got rebalanced. My point is the game's not this broken in the live versions anymore (at least on the harder difficulties) and you will not get bored soon in case you might want to try this game out.

[@MrMuffinTaco]

[@jwhite5008]

I'm going to disagree with this game being high quality. But, it's interesting and fun to play - and that's what is most important. AAA games who pour millions to obtain a movie license, make thousands 4k top-quality textures of various types of refuse and then make a gloomy, dull and boring game should take note. I'm looking at you, GOLLUM. All as long as the game doesn't glitch/crash often enough to cause much grief.

[@chicken_person]

@@jwhite5008 I'd argue that a game being fun and interesting makes it high quality though... And even when I played the game a lot (I got 100% achievements a few months after release, although they've since added more), I never had a crash and glitches were pretty rare as well. Just the occasional item or chest spawning under the floor, which only really happens when you've already broken the game.

[@Kindrick]

According to my calculations, 10,000% luck is the highest soft cap the luck stat can have, and anything higher than that does nothing to actually improve anything. At that high, everything that has a chance of something positive happening, is just happening every single time, assuming none of them have a base chance under 1%. You stopped taking damage when it was at 1,250% though, which is enough to bring that 8% chance of not taking damage all the way up to 100% chance of not taking damage.

[@Kindrick]

Looking back at the thumbnail, I see you must've came to this conclusion too, since it says +10,000% luck.

[@marcusorta714]

I haven't played since before this relic update, but I will be excited to get back on! One somewhat exploit my friend and I use is to share/swap perks when making purchases or opening chests. In general, it is always helpful to trade loop with a friend so you are more likely to make a specific, tailored build, but we often ended up trading things like streamer loot, gold dice, and faulty chests to get loads more loot by the end of our run. I also like to rebind both the grenade and melee buttons to one mouse button. Works like a charm.

I love how Spiff just casually entered another dimension for most of the vid.

Crabs with friends can break the game from island one: 1.Unlock a new item while in a friends lobby. 2. Drop it on the ground and leave the lobby. 3. Rejoin, and restart at step 1 until you are satisfied or run out of your dozens of stockpiled keys.

@4:00 it hurts me that he shot that dark red crystal after the round finished

[@aaronlefebre5060]

To see the day a game dev made a game to specifically be broken by Spiffing Brit is a glorious day indeed!

"I have 17,000 percent luck" I think this qualifies as a sentence never uttered before.

Spiff mentions Risk of Rain 2, one of my favorite games, and I start frothing for a video on that from him

[@spookyjr13231]

6:35 Me: oh yeah i need to like the video. Also me: already liked the video at the start.

[@baronofderp719]

love this game, so glad you enjoyed breaking it as well

[@Raistl1n]

I really thought you were going to go with the "I am something of a gamebreaker myself." and so my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined when you didn't. I hope you're happy.
