So now that we’ve had some time with the new Menace Reduction system, what are people’s thoughts?
Personally I’m finding I’m actually using the items more. I clutch my shiny cane and goldfish before I deal with the Mirror’s Hunger. And when my Aunt swings by I change into my street-fighting clothes and put on a helmet before she offers me tea! I think that’s neat.
On the other hand it’s very fiddly. Lots of clicking. The Helmet is the only item I have that I put into a regular outfit. Nothing else is worth the stat cost, so they’re custom gearings for specific situations, which is only when I’m expecting a whole lotta something. It just seems rather niche.
The update to the Manager is nice, though. Your punishment is actually worse nightmares for a week, instead of losing a card slot. I rather like it, even though it’s probably worse to me as a player.
Overall I think the biggest problem right now is itemization. The existing gear just aren’t worth wearing in most cases.
