drahkon Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 Getting a bit annoyed with the fact that PS (and I assume Xbox) still hasn't gotten the updates...they include some nice balance changes. Anyways, gonna have a little time today so will defo try to get some more Green Stake wins
drahkon Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 Cavendish gave, and Cavendish hath taken away. 1 in 1000 chance that Joker gets destroyed. Happened to me twice now Instant run killer... 1
Dcubed Posted March 13 Posted March 13 The one time where I'm really annoyed to get a Polychrome Joker lol.
Glen-i Posted March 14 Posted March 14 We have been waiting all game to do that! I'm annoyed he beat me to it!
drahkon Posted March 15 Author Posted March 15 (edited) Love playing Flush Five Beat Green Stake with every Deck. Now I kinda want to wait for the patch to - finally - be released because I think the small balance changes might actually help a lot. But then again, I can't stop playing so... Think I'm going to go for a 100,000,000 hand now to unlock the final Joker. Blue Deck, White Stake, let's go. Edited March 15 by drahkon
Dcubed Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) And you thought that a Polychrome Egg was bad... The closest thing to a straight middle finger that Balatro can throw at you ... ... Edited March 15 by Dcubed

Dcubed Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Wahey! Finally beat White Stake with all the base decks! Just moved on to Red Stake… and I beat it on my first attempt with Yellow Deck. Nice
drahkon Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 Looks like the issue with patches on PS and Xbox is due to the fact that there are now new versions in the stores thanks to the PEGI bullshit. And for some reason both the old and new versions don't get updated At least that's how I understand the report in the Discord. I hope that once this gets resolved there's even more balance updates included Anyways, I'm currently making my way through Blue Stake, though it's early days.
Sheikah Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I'll be waiting for the mobile versions - seems like it will be the perfect fit.

Sheikah Posted March 19 Posted March 19 The game plays better with a touch screen than with buttons… so yeah. A mobile version would play perfectly fine.Yeah, that, and you can play it anywhere. I know you can take the Switch anywhere but I already take my mobile everywhere and the battery lasts much longer, so there's that.
Dcubed Posted March 19 Posted March 19 That game actually looks legit interesting, but I see it got announced/released on March 3rd… yeah, that’s some very unfortunate timing. Can’t imagine that they expected another casino game roguelike to suddenly appear a couple weeks before and just utterly steal its thunder
Dcubed Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) AND YOU ALL THOUGHT THAT LOYALTY CARD WAS USELESS! (Yes, I purchased it on the Ante 8 Small Blind and purposely timed my hand usage to make it kick in at the last moment to save myself ) Edited March 22 by Dcubed 1
drahkon Posted March 26 Author Posted March 26 Thank the all that is mighty, the PS5 version has been updated.
drahkon Posted March 28 Author Posted March 28 Quote Hey people! Thought I’d maybe start sharing some periodic updates in the sub. I’ve been working on a few different things, but I wanted to share that a 1.0.1 patch is almost ready for testing and will probably be available on PC in a week or two (barring changes). Console updates would follow as fast as they can get approved. This is a pretty meaty balance update. Some Jokers have totally new effects, some stakes have been entirely reworked, blue seals are much better, and I’ve made some changes that will make early antes slightly more engaging/forgiving without removing the RNG that I love in this game. My list of 1.0.1 changes has probably 50 items at this point. My hope is that difficulty remains the same level but overall player experience is improved across the board. I don’t want to get into too many specifics but I’m swapping 2 of the Stake effects with 2 new Jokers stickers akin to the ‘eternal’ idea, since I adore that design so much. I really think you’ll all love it! This will be the first update of its kind since launch, but those of you that have played the demos will know these kinds of updates are a regular and really fundamental part of my design process. Iteration/change is how Balatro becomes a better game for everyone. I don’t think it’s perfect in current state and I want it to be fun for me and all of you. I’m sure some will be frustrated that they had to play and grind the game when it was in a worse state but it was and continues to be representative of what I’m capable of as a solo dev. I don’t think that should preclude me from improving the game for the future even if it takes time! I may be slow but watch me go 🐢 Just for fun here is a specific leak - 8 ball will have a totally new effect: 1 in 4 chance for a played 8 to create a Tarot card when scored Source - Reddit Can't wait Got Balatro on Steam today so my Steam Deck will get some love again and my crippling addiction can get even worse. 1 1
Dcubed Posted March 28 Posted March 28 On a related matter, here’s an interview with the game’s developer going over the development process and some plans for the future…
Glen-i Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Please the let the two stakes changed be the ante increasing ones, please the let the two stakes changed be the ante increasing ones, please the let the two stakes changed be the ante increasing ones! 1
drahkon Posted March 29 Author Posted March 29 Crazy how the little changes already made (foil giving +50 chips, mult cards giving +4 mult, and a few more) got me cruisin' through Black Stake. Only three more Decks to clear at that level and then I can move up to Blue Stake. I will probably wait for the next patch before doing that, though.
Dcubed Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Holy crap!! I actually managed to beat Small Blind of Ante 12!!! So it IS possible!!! (sadly I died right afterwards as I just couldn’t pull the cards I needed) Anyway, that’s Red Stake defeated with all decks now. Onto Green Stake! 1
drahkon Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 Plasma Deck + two Stuntmen Jokers = gg ez Only Erratic Deck left for Black Stake. On PS5, that is. I really need to get to the Steam Deck version. *turns on Steam Deck*
