    Rethinking arcade catalysts.

    So, what's the point of arcade? The only part of it that actually matters? Beyond just having fun, the actual goal. It's either A) To beat the True Final Boss, which requires Catalyst 3. or it's B) To set a high score worthy of crushing the competition, which largely requires Catalyst 3. This...

    I don't know what my hitbox is.

    Actually, maybe a round where you -have- to have your shield up the entire time to move around making precise movements would be good too.

    I don't know what my hitbox is.

    The fact that I couldn't tell you what my exact hitbox is after this many years of play either reflects really poorly on me or means the game has a teaching blind spot in it. So many hits are taken with people not understanding exactly why, meaning either the player hitbox is completely off from...

    [Gameplay] Damage reduced for second character in multiplayer

    What's interesting is that this isn't the first time I can remember this being brought up over the years, but no one has ever figured out what causes it. https://secretsofgrindea.com/forum/index.php?threads/weapon-swap-damage-bug.9264/ Here we have someone whose damage both shrunk and grew to...

    Empower, Haste, and Fortify Icons Above Player Character

    I believe a while ago I suggested being able to charge up Utility spells to make them cost more EP but also last longer, to avoid the feeling of constant buff micromanagement. Would be nice. I'll admit I don't use any of them even on Arcade C3 because I don't like juggling to keep them active.

    [Gameplay] [Co-Op] [Spoilers] Treasure Map #9 Given to Host But Not The Guest

    That map and that fertilizer are only for the host of that specific world. In your save file you should still have the exact correct number of fertilizers for vines, as you never received any fertilizer the host of the other world got. Are you sure that you have all four vines grown?

    Quest/Potion Bug?

    This has been reported a few times since the launch, I assume it's just lower on the foodchain of fixes. Your save file isn't broken, you probably just need to type a command to reset that specific quest, super simple solution. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact commands used to reset...

    14/16 map bug

    By 14/16 it means treasures found, not maps found. You have 16 maps but only 14 treasures. You need to find the diamond and the green thing. :)

    Fixing Haddock once and for all

    So, uh, according to google I mentioned this back in 2015 and it is still misleading to this day. This man outright makes a request of you. Go catch fish for him to restock with. Haddock has never had a quest and has no way to actually receive fish from you. This has always been deeply...

    Boss Rush Mode

    Before Teddy settled on pins he was originally designing a mode for Arcade where you would choose between different skills on your ascent through the dungeon. Meaning what skills you would end up using would largely be left to chance. Diminishing the reliance on the same skills every time in...

    I am once again begging for Mimic 3 to visually indicate its anti-DPS Rush mechanic.

    Every time I think about this I do think making Mimic immune while puking, as in the same way 'GUARD' pops up when you hit a defeated GUNDAM's head, really is the best solution to this problem. It turns what seems like an obvious "oh hey I need to go all in and smack this thing" DPS opening...

    Non Binary Player Character Option

    I agree with Literally Who, I far prefer when games use different ways of acknowledging the fact that my character is a guy. All the little comments and quips makes the dialogue feel more authentic. That being said... The fact that this is your first post in ten years is impressive! Did you...

    Pls help about steam achiev

    Chances are you're missing some achievement in the Trophies menu. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's the gardening one?

    The Evergrind School serving its purpose.

    One last story one! Retraining - You may find, in certain situations, that your skills are poorly suited to the task at hand. A skill apt at taking on an army of rabble may pale before a worthier opponent. Thankfully, Collectors are as malleable as clay! If you find yourself wanting to...

    Chicken Huts

    So, this is a completely pointless thing. Something that doesn't need to happen. And yet, it has always crossed my mind whenever I've needed to do a chicken herding challenge. There's two chicken huts in the game. Technically three, if you include Fake Startington. There's also a chicken...
