would you stop nerfing passive growth?!?
like hell man, first it was the crystal rework, then you had to stack them, now you cannot even stack them and they only give 5.
**STOP**

Couple things.
1. jesus christ your guys can just die too quickly to random stuff in the dungeon. found a chair, thought it might do some body mod thing like piercings or something...NOPE just fucking killed one of my best guys.
2.rescue missions needs a nerf. my team member who got kidnapped, 2 perks, spawned an EXPERT LEVEL MISSION...OK?!?!! WHY?!?!?! how am i supposed to reasonably gain strength if losing a team member is THAT harsh of a punishment.
3. speaking of which, growth goals......wow i freaking hate this system...kill 2 enemies, seems simple enough, but the unit itself has to deal the finishing kill. THATS what makes it bullshit. when stalling in this game to let that unit get a kill can lead to so much bullshit happening this needs to be reworked to where they just have to be in the party when the kill happens. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE DOT EFFECTS DO NOT COUNT AS A KILL EVEN IF THE PERSON WHO INFLICTED THE DOT IS THE ONE THAT NEEDED THE KILL
3b. also a lot of these stats for leveling up is enemy dependent....no...just...no....you know what you did? you made leveling up rng based, which is BEYOND terrible. cant ever level up that unit? fuck you, the enemy will not target you.
3c. growth goals that also rng roll into STARTING A TURN WITH A STATUS THEY CANNOT GAIN IS JUST.....DUDE COME ON!
there is a VERY good reason why EXP is a thing in rpgs instead of.....what ever this is...
4. very important one to end off on. IF I HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE FUCKING TARGET ORDER THAN ENEMIES SHOULD HAVE TO DO THE SAME!!!! I put the mage in the backline for a goddamned reason, why can certain enemies melee attack them?!?!
the rate of upgrading the quality of plants is so bad it is not worth doing.
like, its just so poorly balanced.
sacrificing 50 is better then sacrificing 100 because doing 50 gives a max of 10 points while sacrificing 100 only gives a max of 8.
wtf even.
then, and this is the real kicker, raising the quality 1 rank only gave a 1$ pay increase.
for just how much you have to sacrifice, this is not worth it.
it would depend on how many sources of healing there are, how much they heal, vs how much damage you can take vs what can be avoided.
If you are worried about people getting too many cookies early on you can make a loot table to where they are less likely to appear on lower levels, making them much more valuable to be saved. or to tackle people having too much, might i suggest you implement a "fullness" system that prevents players from spamming the cookies.
as far as waiting goes vs healing, i believe you said it was 10% and then it drops a stat if its higher then 5? dropping a stat is a huuuuuuge punishment for healing.
ive seen others that allow you to heal when waiting, its a very tiny amount per wait, but the flip side it leaves you "vulnerable" to enemy encounters per wait. so you'd heal 1-2% of your hp but run the risk of encountering an enemy. to prevent the risk of people spamming that you can have the encounter rate start off small, but then increase for each rest or something.
in the end, you do you, as the dev you wont make everyone happy so you should aim for just something that would make you happy.
Thats the thing, yeah?
There is a difference between "hard" that is balanced and "hard" that is just brutal nonsense and right now the game is just brutal nonsense.
part of that is due to bugs, that can be written off with how early in the dev cycle it is. The other part is the lack of balance.
this game hinges on the dev's sense for balance, right now its a bit unfair to judge but with how they decided to tackle healing I do not have much faith.
rouges are indeed supposed to be hard, but I cant think of a single one that just outright punishes you for healing when the heal heals so little.
