#

Storm 1 is already renowned as a hero.. well.. would be.. if he didn't go missing after defeating the last invasion

#

Storm 1 is like a legend.
The mythical what might've been a single person.. might've been a team.. nobody knows

#

nobody alive remembers

#

so you, storm 1, ofcourse are mute

#

so nobody knows, which is actually a really silly cute thing i think

#

the first mission starts as what HQ thinks was just a prank call about giant insects

#

they send you, a lowly platoon just in case

#

would you believe it

#

there are insects.

#

And a LOT of them.
An entire horde.

If it wasn't for the armored tank support you would've probably died... if you weren't extremely good at darksouls obviously

#

EDF also does rolling pfsh. best dodging method ever

#

After some battles the mothership comes back.. a new one...

#

With a whole flotila ready to drop insects over everyone

#

EDF 2017 and 4.1 have these silly robot enemies too

#

THE HECTORS!!! as seen in 2017

#

they look so goofy i love them

hearty spire
#

Bro have you been talking nothing but edf for the past few minutes

abstract walrus
#

the only way to avoid getting hit by their big explosive cannons is by shooting at them so much their jiggle physics make them aim in a different direction

abstract walrus
hearty spire
#

Yeah no I'll go back to struggling to sleeo

abstract walrus
abstract walrus
#

there's more

#

that was just the alien forces testing if they needed to pull out the full forces.

#

The sky.. starts darkening

#

the world eaters have arrived.

#

Massive metal plates with mounted weapons which cover the sky, and shoot down at the people below

#

slowly as you play more and more of the earth is covered until it's left essentially in total darkness

#

and that is when... the Brain is found

#

A super powered tower in the middle of the beams. the one computer controlling the whole new roof above earth

#

You, along with the rest of the EDF are sent out to destroy it. No matter the costs.

#

the firepower is just too much

#

all your allies are dying.. morale is low and everyone is scared... but then

#

that will set the mood well

#

They remember

#

they remember about storm one. about YOU

#

What you've done in the past motivates the remaining troops to run in and help you in battle

#

MAINLY BECAUSE

#

WHILE EVERYONE WAS DYING

#

AND WHILE HQ WAS SCREAMING that everyone is doomed

#

youve singlehandedly rolled and shot your way trough 30% of the sky barrier with just a lowly rocket launcher

#

everyone has seen you just REFUSING to die and holy hell are they motivated

#

with the remaints of the EDF at your disposal you DESTROY the brain... and allas.. one by one.. the world eaters leave earth

#

there is no more control unit.

#

youve won... they're gone for good.

#

THAT'S JUST EDF 4.1

#

Kiwi drink up we'll be here for a while

hearty spire
#

all i can think of is how much exp you've been getting

abstract walrus
#

just a wee bit

#

Woe.

#

EDF 5 be upon ye

rough steeple
#

IM HERE HI DONT CANCEL HIM !!!!!!!!!

abstract walrus
#

so this is how EDF 5 starts Abom

#

You are a basic civilian in a EDF Base.

#

A generic ex-police tour guide if you're a Ranger

#

a airshow Performer if you're wingdiver

#

just a technican that is a LITTLE too much into secret military codes as Air Raider

#

or a worksman working on carrying shit if you're the Fencer

#

Except uh oh!

#

While you're being given the tour, the lights cut out, your instructor tells you to come with him to the security room

#

OOPS!

ALL ANTS!

#

he gets gobbled up, and a squadron runs by and shoots the ants to smithereens

#

Since they can't have an unarmed civilian running around, they gave you some basic EDF weaponry

#

for Ranger it's a rifle and a rocket launcher

#

for Windiver it's whatever nobody plays wingdiver first pfsh

#

For Air Raider it's a limplet gun, a turret, and a healing machine

#

And for fencer it's a bigass sword and shield and two miniguns

#

obviously.

standard equipment

#

i should mention Fencer has a mobilty assistant system, basically a mini mech suit

#

ANYWAYS you painstakingly fight your way out of the base

#

and you find out that the top of the base is just getting OVERRUN to hell and back

#

not to mention the ACTUAL mechs

#

are out of commision!

#

somebody forgot the fucking keys!!!!

#

so you need to do your best to protect the base from the swarm while everyone else helps

#

My favorite thing about the Pre-EDF section of EDF 5

#

picks up @bitter barn gently and puts them in a blanket

abstract walrus
#

everyone is baffled that a civilian ID code is asking for airstrikes.

#

BUT EVERYONE JUST ACCEPTS IT-

#

Just like:

#

"why is a civilian asking us to do 30 bombing runs over our base?"

rough steeple
#

funny firework gameโ€ฆโ€ฆ

abstract walrus
#

"Eh who cares he's got the radio he probably knows what he's doing"

abstract walrus
#

ehm ehm

#

So after you clear the first wave... UH OH

lean hazel
#

Explo grinding the fuck out of amari

abstract walrus
#

IT'S A FULL ARMADA!!! THERE'S LIKE 40 SHIPS PASSING JUST OVER YOUR LOCATION, AND THIS IS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE

abstract walrus
abstract walrus
#

YOU JUST STARTED GETTING SHELLED WITH TOWERS THAT TELEPORT MORE ANTS DIRECTLY ABOVE YOU

#

So ofcourse- YOU BOOK IT
there's no way you'd survive that

#

Sarge and his squadron take over care of you,

bitter barn
abstract walrus
#

They try to get you to a "safe place" as he says it.

#

Sarge is a special boy, he has a experimental laser gun :3

#

hes's pretty good at helping out in these levels

#

you go trough like 13 before he officially declares.
"Well shoot.. looks like no place is safe anymore.. but you probably figured that out already"

#

So ofcourse-

#

you enlist in the EDF!
I mean you're pretty good at it

#

you already have a higher kill count than everyone else in your defacto squad

hearty spire
#

it's joever

abstract walrus
#

so off you go. 6 months if training, and you're back. the war is still on.

#

Nobody has yet been able to destroy a ship.. their armor is too strong

#

the only one that the EDF managed to destroy so far was with an actual NUKE.

lean hazel
#

cod has officially lost it

abstract walrus
#

So ofcourse-, they send you. the NEWBIE

hearty spire
abstract walrus
#

directly on the first offensive from below!

frosty zinc
#

why no BTS

abstract walrus
#

You, being no pushover.
Find out you can shoot the big glowing teleportation crystal when the hatch of the ship is open

#

BOOM goes the ship!

#

People keep calling you a newbie.. despite your tough work..

#

but whatever, you just pushed the EDF forward a ton

#

After a lot more battles

#

you kill godzilla.

like an actual godzilla

#

he's fine.. i promise

#

they stop calling you newbie after that

#

anyways! after a lot more war-ing

#

OH NO.
the primers (aliens) just dropped a whole-ass CITY

#

DIRECTLY. ON TOP OF ANOTHER CITY...

#

and even bigger uh oh

#

IT'S ARMED WITH LIKE 50 BAJJILION CANNONS

#

IT HAS COMPLETE AIR AND GROUND DOMINATION

#

ofcourse we run.

abstract walrus
#

WE GET KNOCKED DOWN

#

BUT WE GET UP AGAIN

#

AIN'T NOTHING GONNA KEEP US DOWN

#

so we launch like... three offensives on this thing

#

during the third one the fuckin city

#

guess what guess what

#

IT. STANDS. UP.

#

THE CITY WALKS.

#

but guess what Storm 1 (not yet titled storm 1) does.

#

OFCOURSE we just simply shoot it till it's deadโ„ข

#

we're storm 1 afterall

#

"you know what'd be funny" says one alien to another

#

"what?"

#

"lets do the mothership thing"

#

alas. mothership.

#

then an edf commander says

#

"hey you know what we should do?"

#

"storm 1?" "storm 1."

#

they both mutter in unison

#

and so ofcourse after a long battle with massive tanks and all that good stuff the mothership falls

#

"you know what'd be funny?"

#

"what?* asks the other alien

#

"let's send 8 more."

#

SO THEY DO.

#

let me remind you a mothership

#

Is about EY BIG

#

A REAL CHONKER THAT ONE

#

don't mind the Minecraft hud It's a work in progress

#

or the fact the air raider has a poorly wrapped creeper texture

#

ehm

#

so the EDF goes into panic mode

#

mind you about 60% of all people are dead at this point

#

that's gonna be important later

#

well the EDF goes crazy figuring out how to destroy all these, apparently indestructible, UFOs

#

that only ONE team has been able to destroy

#

nay.

#

one. MEMBER. of the EDF has been able to destroy.

#

Everyone is dying rapidly, those motherships dont fuck about

#

and so comes along this crazed woman

#

previously EDF HQ assistant

#

yelling about eggs

#

yes @bitter barn , NamaTama is canon to the EDF universe

#

and guess what's supposed to be inside the egg.

bitter barn
abstract walrus
#

GOD.

#

GOD. IS INSIDE NAMATAMA.

#

And god is angry

#

you ofcourse start feeling the story is a bit silly at this point

#

but it gets better.

you go to fight mothership number 9

#

personally, you. and the entierity of the EDF

#

go. and attack Mothership No.9

#

guess what it does Kiwii

#

please. Guess. genuenly Guess.

#

or if kiwii is not here then you @rough steeple

rough steeple
#

BGHJGGK WAIT

abstract walrus
#

GUESS

rough steeple
#

OKAY IM GOING TO SAY IT FUCKING EXPLODES

abstract walrus
#

nuh uh

#

IT GOES TROUGH A FULL-ASS GUNDAM TYPE TRANSFORMATION AND TURNS INTO A BIBLICALLY ACCURATE SHIP

#

it is now a golden egg.. with layers of protection and many. many turrets

#

this is just phase 2 of the fight

#

you eventually fry the egg. and it opens up

#

inside. behold. God.

#

so guess what.

#

@bitter barn EARTH DEFENSE FORCE.
TRIES TO

ARREST. GOD.

#

God fights back

#

You kill god.

#

And that's how EDF 5 ends

#

ignoring the fact that uhh . operation final stand was initiated

#

during the fight with god... which made every civilian a official soldier of the EDF

#

90% of people are dead. you dissapear. the end :3

#

One last thing before I go rest

#

Plains of Conflict is my favorite mission.

It has so much air support.

#

Okay xoxo goodnight thanks for listening to my wall paintings goodnight everyone and you Kiwii hug_friend

civilian and EDF airraider @static apex

static apex
#

So it's like... 21,646-43,000 i assume

abstract walrus
#

that's all :3

abstract walrus
static apex
#

Why the first image black air raider is 43,000 tris? Helmet?

abstract walrus
static apex
#

I thought more polygons have been used on the helmet to make it more round ๐Ÿ˜„

abstract walrus
static apex
abstract walrus
#

you can use as many as you can handle

static apex
#

of course you can, i was just wondering is it that round (complex) that they had to use that many polygons that it jumps from avg. 20k-30k tris to 43k ๐Ÿ˜„

abstract walrus

#

mmh yeah, you are right. can't even think or argue with that. i'm too tired for it ๐Ÿ˜„

THE FINALS

abstract walrus
#

ironically enough BRUTE FORCE

#

is my favorite in EDF 4.1

#

Why?

#

Because the air support gets cut off

#

There's literally too many enemies for the air force to be able to help you without risking being shot down

#

this is super panic inducing as air raider since all your support weapons just get completely disabled

#

||But they do come in again eventually, breaking trough to help you against HQ orders||

abstract walrus
#

@void smelt Basically when your health falls below 50% you have a small chance of getting injured from each hit, once you drop below 25% it's a great chance.

void smelt
#

What happens if you get injured?

#

Dragon Age had a nice mechanic for this, in DAO you literally get broken bones and such for when you get knocked out

#

Later on it's just a HP cap lol

abstract walrus
#

Health Regen gets capped to 50% of it's normal value. When you get an infection your health gets dropped.

#

Critical Injuries and Infections mean you can't regen health and I think you lose 100 health lol

void smelt
#

I love when games mess with you more than normal... This should be a basic feature tbh

#

The Ranger is the average footsoldier of the EDF, and possesses mostly standard human weaponry

#

Among those fit rifles, shotguns, snipers, that kinda stuff

#

But he does have his funny weapons too

#

He has both rocket AND missile launchers

#

aswell as many types of grenade launchers, grenades, and support utilities.

static apex
abstract walrus
#

Some of the Rangers funnier weapons are the Turtle missile launcher and the DNG grenade

abstract walrus
abstract walrus
#

it's like a human metal gear... except

#

the missile it fires, it flies at like 5km/h-

static apex
#

it's called DFE 5 Test all weapons fencer missile something something..

abstract walrus
static apex
#

I have no idea

abstract walrus
#

The DNG series grenades are football sized grenades that you can yeet up to about 2km.

#

they are stronger than most others weapons in the game.. silly :>

#

The wing diver..

#

I don't like the wing diver it's ewy..

No worries man

abstract walrus

yeah there's over 200 even in just EDF3 alone

abstract walrus

Oh yeah, Ranger, also gets some heavy weapons in EDFs 2 and 3

#

this is because well
.. fencer didn't exist yet

For the. flamethrower branch of weapons

#

It just starts with a standard blowtorch-

#

it's useless on EVERY difficulty and it's kinda funny

static apex
#

What why XD what he can even do with that

abstract walrus
#

i tried fixing a car with it and it just exploded

static apex
#

haha so it is useless ๐Ÿ˜„

#

why would you ever pick that then?

#

or like use

#

just a meme?

abstract walrus
#

there are infact just meme weapons

#

one of them is firecrackers.

just a standard box of firecrackers.

#

it upgrades into one of the strongest weapons in the game TurnipBoyCommitsTaxEvasionTurnip

#

fencer gets a whole lotta swords and megasized axes in the new games

#

as well as being the only class with the ability to parry

abstract walrus
#

the shields literally allow you to deflect entire swaths of projectiles back at the enemy

#

anything that has a hitbox can be deflected back

#

it's especially strong against hordes since parrying also protects the people behind you

static apex
#

aaah yeah, that make sense

# bitter moat Ohhh, I see, good luck on the project!

If you know what Garry's Mod is, s&box is basically an official sequel for it made on Source 2 that will allow for even more freedom with creating content, maps, scripts, gamemodes ect, getting access to it is extremely hard though, Garry himself and Facepunch are making this game.

@balmy imp Just out of curiosity, do you have any official info on how often is the s&box updated? or is it completely random?

#

I present to you Joseph

balmy imp
#

after all the game is in a heavy pre-release state

storm lynx
#

I mean, yeah I know that, but I was just wondering about f Facepunch/Garry have some more or less strict timelines when they release core-game improvement like fixes, improvements to the codebase/netcode ect

balmy imp
#

they dont have any public roadmap

#

so no, timelines are not for public yet

storm lynx
#

aight then so any official updates are gonna be there when they're gonna be there

balmy imp
abstract walrus
balmy imp
#

Yeah but you dont have to download it, its in the game by default

so it is not a lie, i said without downloading any mod

watching CB2 highlights in s&box, thats some meta shit

I was watching my THE FINALS clips video on youtube

This summer update seems good

you know, currently in s&box most fun games are TTT, TF2S2, Sanbox itself and maybe that Tycoon game I forgot the name of

#

I can see myself killing time with it from time to time

abstract walrus
#

for todays short EDF fact of the day:

#

In EDF 4.1,

#

the air force gets REALLY upset

#

because they can't break trough the shield bearer barriers

#

on the shield bearer introduction they bring out more airstrikes than on any other mission, second only to the BRUTE FORCE mission

#

That was today's fun EDF fact @static apex

#

THE E D F DEPLOOOOOYS

#

PS:

#

Yes these airstrikes can kill you.

Has anyone here played the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R game recently,? I'm enjoying into the radius and S.T.A.L.K.E.R seems like a good game to play after I finish into the radius but want to get some opinions before I buy.

why does this game looks like rougelike Cyberpunk 2077

Because the setting is cyberpunk with aliens

hearty spire
storm lynx
#

ok thanks

storm lynx
#

from what i see the overall looks of the Ascent game seems fun and all, but people say that it's way too short, too expensive for the content it provides and it's kinda boring with both the story and gameplay

hearty spire
#

there's always the choice of getting it at a lower price

storm lynx
#

or wait for it to eventually be free on epic lol

#

and seeing how the game's performance overall - it is high chance

#

Hey there Hi, thanks for coming to my TED Talk

#

Tonight we will be talking about the hit game franchise EARTH DEFENSE FORCE,

#

also often shortened to just E D F.

static apex
#

Can't wait!

abstract walrus
abstract walrus
#

Basically just to give you some background

#

until EDF 4 nobody could summon vehicles into battle

#

Even in EDF 3 you only have access to one of the five types of vehicles placed in the mission by the devs

static apex
#

okay opkay

abstract walrus
#

But from 4 onwards you can spawn a bunch of funny ones

static apex
#

Like so?

abstract walrus
#

Starting with the big boy

#

THE E651 TITAN

static apex
#

oh boy

abstract walrus
#

It's a big ol tank thats about 5 sizes of a regular tank

#

At 25 metres long, this gargantuan super-tank is one of the largest vehicles in the EDF's arsenal.

#

It has a battleship cannon on the front and two seperate turrets that can be controlled by your teammates

#

those turrets can also shoot whole volleys of GRENADES at the ants

static apex
#

so it's like slow but heavy hitter?

abstract walrus
static apex
#

Whats that

abstract walrus
#

they have a script attached to them that forces them to be upright up

#

so if the cannon is strong enough to flip them they just start spinning

static apex
#

hahahahah XD

#

omg thats so goood!

#

fly my beautiful!

abstract walrus
#

funny tank, definitely one of my favourites

#

Next up is the tiny tiny AVG

#

Armored Vehicle Grape

#

It's a tiny ACP thats comedically fast and REALLY good at drifting

#

its main cannon is somewhat weak but its great at doing hit and runs

#

And then theres the SDL 1.

THE SDL1 has a very funny tag next to it on the wiki

static apex
#

What

#

why is that ๐Ÿ˜„

#

AAAhh i get it cuz it drift so much?

abstract walrus
#

it CANNOT drive straight because the kart is too heavy

#

so it always goes a little bit to the left

#

and the only way to drive straight is by driving right

#

it drives the best when going backwards

static apex
#

WTF XD

abstract walrus
#

the vehicle is so bullied the wiki mods just let you write anything actually its kinda funny

static apex
#

hahahaha XDD very practical vehicle

#

''if the player suddenly acquires wizard powers'' got me

abstract walrus
#

hi dyno what do you want

static apex

#

Hey @static apex , what do you think about BF2042?

static apex
#

i've still played it for 1700 hours tho ๐Ÿ˜„

storm lynx
#

Just take a look at what Source 2 is capable of

#

All screenshots are taken from one map in s&box

versed cradle
#

pretty af

storm lynx
#

Valve is truly WASTING themselves not using it for their games, I would even accept remasters of their old games to work on Source 2, screw HL1 because we have Black Mesa, imagine Half Life 2, especially the City17, coast and that entire ride towards White Forest with such high fidelity

#

I really do hope that HL Alyx's success and TF2s recent record break will make them rethink about getting back into making games instead of just counting dollars made from cases

shrewd onyx
#

isn't CS2 in source 2

storm lynx
#

it is, but dont expect much fireworks since it is a competetive shooter
game balance, visibility and easy readability (is that even a word lol?) is a priority

#

plus, CS2 is basically CSGO with fresh coat of paint and few major changes to how game operates, this ain't a fully-fledged new game like Alyx, Deck Job and such

shrewd onyx
#

yeah

storm lynx
#

but who knows, maybe after release of CS2 Valve will take their asses (and desks, they are still on wheels) and will think about AT LEAST remastering their older titles to Source 2, I don't even care for a new game from them at this point, I just want to see Source 2 in proper action, not just a demo version of it in a game that will not use most of it's potential anyways

#

and if they do indeed think about remastering their games - they should start with Portal 1 and 2

shrewd onyx
#

well it'd be odd for them to make a whole new engine for only a couple games

storm lynx
#

wouldn't be the first time

#

goldscr was used in four games made officialy by Valve - HL1, TFC, DoD and Ricochet

#

Source 1 was used a bit more by Valve because only 9 games use it

#

that's of cource if we count only official valve games and not third party games too

#

and i counted HL2 + Episodes as one game, since they basically are one game

#

However Source 2 is only used by Dota 2 and now CS2, even though it was created back in 2014, thats a lot of time spent on basically nothing, although, the Source 2 we know today is a bit different than this from 2014, so in reality Source 2 is only like 2-3 years old now since it's "complete state" was released.

frosty zinc
#

Alyx was source 2 ?

storm lynx
#

yes it uses S2

frosty zinc
#

Valve have a couple projects going apparently, but not close to showcasing

#

they work on stuff but scrap it all the time i think lol

storm lynx
#

before alyx, they scrapped like 10 games, two of which was HL3 and L4D3

#

HL3 didn't work because Valve wasn't satisfied with it and L4D3 was too amitious for then "current" state of Source 2

#

Valve is working on something called Neon Prime so there's that

frosty zinc
#

think gabe said something about not releasing half-life game if they dont bring anything new to the table

storm lynx
#

well I agree with him on that, every Half Life title is revolutionary in some way

frosty zinc
#

yeah, i have huge respect for valve , just annoying we dont get more games

storm lynx
#

HL1 - games can tell deep story
HL2 - physics are fun
Alyx - VR can to be used to create fully fledged singleplayer games

lean hazel
#

time doesnโ€™t want to pass this year, too much waiting

storm lynx
#

patience brother

obtuse oak
#

wait better

storm lynx
#

get a better waiting chair

frosty zinc
#

i wonder if devs just arnt interested in S2 or if Valve doesnt license it out to other devs

storm lynx
#

both

lean hazel
frosty zinc
#

new game these days are usually just = UE5

storm lynx
#

valve is a company like any other - everyone is equally placed in there

frosty zinc
#

Titanfall was/is a heavily modified source engine i think

storm lynx
#

if you want your idea to pass - you gotta convince other devs that its gonna be worth it, then collectively you all gotta convince higherups that it's gonna be profitable and only after than you can actually start working on it, at any point of it's developement however it can be scrapped if ANYTHING, even the littliest of things wont click with Valve

#

thats why its so hard for them to create games

#

and that is also the reason why i have a spark of hope that the latest peak in TF2s popularity thanks to the summer update will shake valve internally

#

andthey will finally see it is worth investing their time into it, who knows - maybe even porting it to S2

#

i've played TF2 in s&box and can confirm first hand - it works, looks and plays good

frosty zinc
#

What ive heard from like some Japanese devs , Embark/Dice a project usually starts with someone pitching an idea to the higher ups, if you get approved you get a set of people on your project , then comes a second stage of approval before real work

#

but valve is more free? like you gotta convince people to jump on your project and no need to get approval at early stage?

storm lynx
#

yes

#

desks on wheels, remember?

frosty zinc
#

yeah

#

so yeah get a bunch of half assed projects that never gets approved to be pushed further to second stage

storm lynx
#

valve has the most unique structure of all companies, and the most hardest to work in

#

but that in the end makes them one of the most reliable companies - there is a 90% chance that the thing they release will not be of poor quality, that 10% was lost with artifact, even Gabe himself confirmed was a deserved failure

frosty zinc
#

heard that since artifact its even harder to get greenlit

storm lynx
#

so if we ever gonna get another half life, portal, left 4 dead or anything else - it's gonna be top fucking notch

iron perch
#

left 4 dead 2 in source 2 EyeShook

storm lynx
#

artifact was approved because higherups smelled easy money

#

and hopefull that was the wakeup call of them (higherups) that money isn't everything, quality is also important

frosty zinc
#

Alien Swarm 2

frosty zinc
#

back 4 blood

storm lynx
#

ew

#

pisspoor l4d wanabee

#

imagine HL2's citadel in source 2

#

or city 17 in general

frosty zinc
#

i cant remember if back 4 blood was jsut a few from the l4d team , or if it was l4d team that failed without valves backing

storm lynx
#

the 2nd

iron perch
#

like 5 people that made l4d was from turtle rock

storm lynx
#

they tried - they failed, valve carried l4d, they couldn't carry their own project based on it

frosty zinc
#

hmm Evolve isnt on steam anymore

storm lynx
#

it isnt on steam since like 2015

#

or was it 2017

#

why?

frosty zinc
#

cause they dropped support/servers?

#

no idea

#

weird how it failed, mby it was to shallow and never go any additional content

#

anyway, next title im going to spend cash on without waiting for sale prob. going to be Helldivers 2

abstract walrus
storm lynx
#

Evolve failed because it was boring, unbalanced and eventually filled with predatory microtransactions

abstract walrus
#

shame

#

Which EDF should I learn about next @static apex msp_think

#

i dont think i can give a lecture on the military companies

frosty zinc
#

watching a recap of path of exile con, man devs seem nervous

abstract walrus
#

It was established in 2017, which is actually pretty recent

#

There's two strands, Research and Aquisition

#

Most of the cash goes to Aquisition.

#

EDFs budget for 2021 to 2027 is a whopping 13 Billion Euro.

doesnt help that the next exp is in a year..

fallow sequoia

reminds me hella of the last raid tier in mists of pandaria

#

it was on for 10 months, we got nothing inbetween for the next exp

versed cradle
#

we will get shit but dunno what

#

its first time that there is a gap like this

#

with normal exp planning, usually one would drop end of year

#

but i think with the whole arc of the story ending, there will be some like "filler" to migrate to a new story

fallow sequoia
#

oof... hopefully there's an influx of peeps returning when new content drops at least

#

our guild disbanded because of lack of content

#

didn't help when the next exp was bad

versed cradle

yeah that sucks af

usually people just take breaks here

fallow sequoia

joined a guild with some uni classmates when the next exp dropped. first raid content was bad, we disbanded again

unsubbed too and never got back into WoW for long periods of time

thats understandable if the content was shit

ive high hopes for ours tho cos usually not a let down and i can enjoy most things

yeah ff14 has had bangers of expansions except stormblood i heard

and the nier collab looks so good

its insane ๐Ÿ˜„ like actually

#

ive never played nier games (but bought them after i played the raids)

#

and they are the ONLY alliance raid that I will actually just queue just because fun/cool

#

and im someone who literally never evervevrver runs dailies/dungeons/alliances

fallow sequoia
#

they even made 2P canon to the nier story and that honestly made me chuckle. (2P is the name of the alternative 2B if the second opponent picks 2B in soul calibur 6 the fighting game, where she is a guest character)

its a really nice cross over

ye he plays in his freetime

one of my friends in my fc used to live in japan with her husband so they played on JP servers for a while and the husband was raiding with yoshi p once KEKW

he said he kept dying cos he couldnt believe it ๐Ÿคฃ

fallow sequoia

i remember having a pug raiding with us. when we cleared he started teleporting, hovering and even changed race on the spot (no cosmetic items)

#

it was a GM all along

versed cradle

LOL

#

reminds me of when i played another mmo

fallow sequoia

he then gave us all 10k gold and left LOL

was friends with a GM and he would go invis and troll me almost every fucking day

teleporting me to like the weirdest places

and doing weird effects invis

#

caught me off guard so fucking often

fallow sequoia

LMAO

#

i was once farming a specific hide and killing goats in an area. one of them stopped respawning and the corpse wouldn't fade away. filed a GM ticket and the next day i got a message back saying they managed to clear it. i got the hides smil

versed cradle
#

thats something that kinda sucks in ff, theres no like experiences like that

#

theyre not visible etc

#

or rather have no presence

#

only time u see them is if youve fucked up

#

in gm jail KEKW

fallow sequoia
#

they're also invisible in WoW, and can't be seen even if you have a live chat with them through your GM ticket. only time they will show up is if they're allowed to I think

#

and if they do, they're not allowed to use their admin powers to help with progression etc

#

at least that's how it was in mists, 9 years ago

versed cradle
#

yeah thats fair enough

storm lynx
#

that first guy got obliterated to hell

fallow sequoia
storm lynx
#

i already have everything grandmaster fro wolf school

#

apart from swords becaue i prefer to use iris and aerondight

fallow sequoia
#

ah. i went with school of the cat which gave me a big boost in crit

storm lynx
#

took me many crowns and time to craft all of it lol

fallow sequoia
#

and then i had the spin to win move

#

i was unstoppable

storm lynx
#

wolf is for bleed, cat is for crit and light attacks, gryph is for signs, manticore for potions, bear is for adrenaline buildup and there is also viper school but since they dont have their own grandmaster version - it doesnt count

fallow sequoia
#

yeah, i know

storm lynx
#

and gotta say that if you build your geralt the right way - you dont even have to fight, just hit everyone once and wait for them to bleed out lol

it's only without a well designed skybox people would start notice that something ain't right

the game can have beutiful textures, amazing facial animations, beautifully designed world, but if the sky is boring and without any life in it - the entire "canvas" gets ruined

So how do you flip the house? And how many times do you need to flip it to win?

Do you use your hands to flip it? It must be quite heavy

fully black dyed grandmaster wolf armor goes hard

i do lol

fallow sequoia
#

School of the cat > The rest

storm lynx
#

in terms of being overpowered if Geralt is built the right way? 100%

fallow sequoia
#

There is no right way

#

Just have fun with your build

void smelt
#

Feels like a heavy build makes no sense when most fights require agility

fallow sequoia
#

It's a singleplayer game so there's no competitive advantage to anything

void smelt
#

Medium is the most 'canon' buuuut

fallow sequoia
#

The game isn't even canon nate

#

None of the games are, they're all OC and happen after the books KEKW

storm lynx
#

officially the games aren't canon, but since they're are happening after the books - they can be if you want them to

void smelt
#

They're canon to ME (happy ending in Toussaint)

fallow sequoia
#

Head canon doesn't count

void smelt
#

It's not real anyways so whatever is released with the official trademark can be canon ch_catnod

fallow sequoia
#

Which is why it doesn't matter. So let Geralt change his mind and go with a bulky heavy build KEKW

void smelt
#

Yes, well.. if it makes sense to you kekw

#

Bear school armor does look cool

fallow sequoia
#

Exactly, head canon!

#

I went with cat anyway

storm lynx
#

bear armor only makes sense if you decide to go full vitality and healing potions which makes bear gear one of if not the worst choice since you're essencially killing off most of the fun stuff to do in the name of swinging your sword and healing yourself from time to time, completely ignoring the signs or any other potions

#

i like the way bear looks but the way it is designed in terms of stats completely ruins the fun experience witcher 3 offers

fallow sequoia

#

otoh playing the witches like assassin's creed is, hmm.... kekw

If people wanna chug a ton of health and use the bear armor and play as brutes, they can

Most of TW characters are super boring to me but B&W was really fun and special

maybe even discover some new stuff, only after i started playing it for the 3rd time i discovered that quest with talking roach and crafter grandmaster gear for the first time

void smelt
#

I always 100% games for the best ending I can, so it's just always a bother to go back to them and re-do fetch quests, unless it has been years haha

#

Oh I did all the quests

storm lynx
#

so i assume your save has like 120-150 hours on it? ๐Ÿ˜‚

void smelt
#

I tend to check those 'quests you missed' lists after

#

Yeah around that

#

100 or so on the main game and 30 on B&W (the other DLC I was just doing along the way)

fallow sequoia
#

Hearts of stone

void smelt
#

That one, good DLC

fallow sequoia
#

I hated it

#

I hated the fact that nothing you do in main game carries over and vice versa

storm lynx
#

your choices carry over

#

from W1 to W2 and from W2 to W3

#

then you get some special dialogues if you beat the W3 first and then started doing the expansions

void smelt
#

Still haven't played W1, I got bored after a while because the mechanics are clunky

#

TW2 is a damn good game though

storm lynx
#

cant blame you, i dont mind clunky but this shit aged like opened cow milk that was standing in the sun for two years

fallow sequoia
#

And the characters there are forgotten as soon as you beat it

storm lynx
#

im glad they're remaking W1, people will finally be able to see how it all started witout needing to torture themselves through the mechanics of this game

fallow sequoia
#

Compare the tie ins to BnW

storm lynx
#

what do you mean forget? all of the major plot characters you meet just leave or die, depending on your choices

fallow sequoia
#

Exactly my point. They're never seen again outside hearts of stone

#

And that expansion, confirmed by CDPR is supposed to be played before skelige

storm lynx
#

plus HoS is way smaller expansion is size and scope than B&W, Blood and Wine was a final sendoff and a gift from CDPR to close the trilogy so no wonder it is so beautifully crafted in detail and all, HoS is just a contract with more lore to it honestly

fallow sequoia
#

Which is my point I'm trying to make gnome,,,,

#

And it's the reason I hated it

#

All the characters there, their actions, their meaning to the story and the choices you've made. Gone as soon as || you kill the demon||

#

I know you're a big CDPR fan but please try to see it from an objective point of view as well

storm lynx
#

i like Hos, it's may not be big or important to overall story but in the end it is a fun experience witj well designed quests, dialogue and story overall, plus you can optain Iris which one of the two swords with unique abilities

Reminder: you have 2 days to claim Severed Steel for free on Epic Games store hug_friend

storm lynx
# fallow sequoia I know you're a big CDPR fan but please try to see it from an objective point of...

Ok sure - Objectively both expansions are great and well designed although both of them have flaws like anything in this world:
HoS is a small, short and simple expansion that adds ~2h of story and ~1.5h of side content, it was never meant to be anything else but an extra chunk of the story and stuff to experience.
B&W is way bigger in scope hence it's high quality and massive amounts of stuff to do, it was supposed to be a massive "thank you" to the fans and seeing how everyone treats and feels about B&W - they delivered.
Now, few words about the issues with both expansions:
HoS doesn't add literally nothing to the main game in terms of story, apart from few dialogues that are there just for the fun of it so you can just literally beat through the main game without missing out on anything, rewards from this expansion are also pretty boring because apart from the Iris sword (that isn't even that strong to begin with) rest of the stuff is basically worthless.
Blood and Wine has this god forsaken contract where you have to run around the entire Toussaint and kill dozens of bandits just to recieve a really small reward of 1500 crowns, sure you can get even more money just by selling the stuff looted from those bandits but this correlates to another big issue in BoW that is a really small amount of contracts in comparasion to main or side quests which makes money/xp making fully dependent on looting, doing sidequests and progressing main story, and even if you manage to find a contract - it pays pretty poorly. There is also a lot of waiting for stuff to actually happend - wait a week to recieve 500 crowns from bank, three days to get daily supplies of wine with your name on it ect...

Tbf when you get to B&W you should be super rich already

storm lynx
#

true, but the amount of money you get for the work you have to do is not even small - you're being robbed lol

fallow sequoia
# storm lynx Ok sure - Objectively both expansions are great and well designed although both ...

Youre completely missing my point. HoS being small, short and simple means people were lied to. The expansion pass promised full fledged expansions, if all I get is one and a third of one then I won't be happy. With the fact that what you did in velen has so much consequence to the whole main story, having an isolated event called HoS felt like a kick in the teeth that you paid extra for

storm lynx
#

hos expanded velen, added some new stuff to do and it's not expensive at all to buy

fallow sequoia
#

I might as well have paid only for BnW and watched HoS on YouTube if the experiences are going to be the same thing

storm lynx
#

cdpr never stated how big exactly the expansions will be

#

how can you lie about something that wasn't known to the public

fallow sequoia
#

They did, with the announcement of the expansion pass before the games release

fallow sequoia
storm lynx
#

cyberpunk was a whole different story

But as I said. You're completely missing my point and have done so 3 times now, I'm just gonna move on

storm lynx
#

show me the source where they said in detail that expansions will add more than it was promised

#

because all i can recall were some tweets, teasers and official posts stating that HoS will add a new contracts, expand velen and add a new story to follow

The gog store itself is your source. It states a 10 hour adventure, which is very long for an expansion. That shit was shorter

fallow sequoia
#

Wasnโ€™t 10 on release, and the expansion pass was expensive on release. I played it in 2015 dude

storm lynx
#

#

it was 10 on release

#

Fair enough then. I bought the pass anyway

#

Could have saved that 10 on some delicious kebab

storm lynx
#

saved youself 5$, would've do the same lol

#

Thatโ€™s a trip to the shop for some nice candy instead of wasted time on HoS if I say so myself

storm lynx
#

if you hated HoS then that's on you, I have no right to judge you for your personal opinions

#

I also regret buying some stuff that majority of people consider "good"

storm lynx
#

#

whoa I was going through my stuff and managed to dig out a screnshot from Elite where I arrived at crab nebula pulsar, I even found a video of it spinning

#

oh wait, that screenshot is in bmp format lol, gimmie a sec

#

#

God DAMN, I found an entire folder with screenshots from elite, I thought I lost it and it was just chilling in my meme folder ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

it does?

#

epic literally pays them so that their games can be free to claim for a week so yeah, it does indeed support creators that either struggle with sales or just want to boost up game's popularity

zealous hawk
#

huh

storm lynx
#

and after that their games are on epic store for purchase where epic grabs only like 12% cut from the sales

#

in comparasion - steam takes 30%

#

maybe that'll explain why many devs are so eager for exclusivity deal

stuck sluice
#

apparently the rtx 3080 can get 70-80fps in portal rtx ultra settings

storm lynx
#

portal aint that demanding to begin with, try using RT in games like Cyberpunk

stuck sluice
#

dont have cyberpunk

storm lynx
#

well you know what game you're buying next then

stuck sluice
#
