Okay, so, friend wants me to raid for him on Aggramar mythic for 45 mins or so
Your girlfriend is supposed to make you food anyway
Order in
Tsunami going ham
I've never really played rogue
Just dont die
Korean advice
Ive seen worse @hollow cove
Dont die and bring boss hp to 0
I can do that better on my DH and mage
Use cloak on first group soak
I’m not leaving the room. Told her to make me food and she just laughed and said i’ll pay for that later.. o.O
@limpid reef hope you’re into pegging
Rest is like any other melee
cool
OmgxD
so
@limpid reef seems she isn'T well behaved you have to change that
is there any Assassination for Dummies guide available?
Pins
Look up
Assassination already is the dummy spec

ban laleo pls
Have you tried snd outlaw?
@frozen pecan Haha i think she would kill me if i told her that xD
Probably grey logs
Arent we passed this?
@limpid reef You've definitely had the trousers taken away from you in that relationship
Assa is a dummy spec
don't let rupture/garrote drop, use all CDs on CD and you'll at least not suck @hollow cove
Im not a rank one player but all the speccs are easy
Come @ me
I cant be bothered to learn
cool
fuck you tom
Haha xD
the way this looks like, I can probably set up a weak aura with the entire rotation
more like what to press
Yeah
I have no trousers..
@frozen pecan Be kind, it's 2k18
You can
Just use notters
The Year of the Kindness
there's an addon - AethysRotation that already does that for you pmuch
If youre only gonna play for 46mins
2018
its the year of the dog though
does it work with nightstalker
Year is kindness?
not of kindness
Omelul
sorry, didn't know 😦 @keen inlet
dogs are kind!
@solid nova did you see the Ronaldo his or not
@hollow cove the addon automatically updates APL based on your talents etc
Goal*
got bit by one when i was young, hated them ever since
@shrewd oriole I said yes the first time fam
It was legit one of the best goals I’ve ever seen.
fuck ronaldo
let's ask the real questions
Fuck You
Is it actually a good addon?xD
is it only for rogues
dude rly?
Ronaldo is bae
@frozen pecan
WHAT DID I JU--oh yeah fuck ronaldo fr
Dont bother witg rotation helpers
jk jk
I don't know how well it works for non-rogues, but it should tell you how to play identically to simc apl
@spare cloud Don't speak ill of Aethys-kun's work
No
in theory
rotation helpers are nice to, you know, help with rotations. you shouldnt rely on them though
Im not speaking ill of it
@hollow cove Basically, you're fucked.
Yeah, I know that
Hah
if he had time to learn the rotation I'd not suggest it
friend is gonna be at work
I've played with AR for a while just to see. 95% of the time I agree with it
the other 5% I'm wrong
😉
😂
his other two friends who play rogue are gonna be at work
but since he's playing sin for 45min later today, its probably the best shot he's got
Ok
I mean
Ill give it a try when im home
to be fair, I'm an Arcane player
Can you drop me a dl link in pm
one nice thing ar does is automatically suggest FOK when I'm in range. So it's got a built-in FOK rangefinder more or less
sin's very straightforward. 90% opener, 10% rest of your priority
fok rangefinder 😏
everything that suggests more
is nice
@frozen pecan idk what it is with WoW but the "range/distance" scale has always made 0 sense to me
Don can you drop me a link in pms im on phone
standing next to something
15 yards away
@solid nova he'll be actually raiding for those 45min on a mythic boss though. I feel like learning to play sin on aggramar is a bad idea 😃
@spare cloud To Aethys Rotation?
90% opener, 10% get oneshot at some random shit so you don't have to let them know you're shit at rogue
You have to feel it Jose
Y

the circle will 1shot you, but yeah
unless you can mitigate it to be less then double yoru health yes you can be 1 shot
cloak of shadows does exist
most things that hit that hard cant be cloaked off
aoe on aggramar can
if it hit that hard it normally for a reason 😛
yeh
if you immune on aggy do you still take your % of the soak? i guess you do
only abilities that will 1shot you on aggramar (legit 1shot) are circle and foe breaker I'm pretty sure
you do
not all mechs work that way
yes
so if its aoe>rangesoak as the last 2
you can take meleesoak, cloak aoe and time it so its up for ranged soak aswell
which is 👌
coo
you can also cloak aoe when he does the 1st soak right after
@frozen pecan I've been playing/raiding since Vanilla and I still don't "feel" the range
I think at this point I'm beyond hope/learning
the scale just feels off to me
HahaxD
There’s a 8/10 hottie at the pool
@shrewd oriole slide in there
But she’s with her dad
isnt it like 8am tom

think the advice still stands
@shrewd oriole slide in there *and maintain eye contact with dad
@drifting cloud 10 bht the sun rises at 5
Slide in there in stealth
fixed
maybe its not her dad, maybe its her sugardaddy?
either way, don is right, assert dominance
Ahahah that’s very alpha Jose
Some dads?
go over, look the dude in the eyes for like 5seconds to make him uncomfortable, then turn around and hit on her in front of his eyes
I think it's a sugardaddy tbh
didn't you hear the story of how don met mrs don?
no
Or been in the same bed
how do you know they havent been?
send pics plx
what are you not telling us?
of her dad
Pics or it didn’t happen
0,8/10
8/10 on toms scale*
he said she's by the pool, not in the pool though?
And to be honest mate
probably 3/10 but tom adds 5 point for every female specimen by default
She was by the pool tho
Not in it
She was in one of those bedchairthings
With her «daddy»
Don't always read sin chat properly, it'll lower my IQ
I get that
buy a air mattress float over to her and say "whad up, I'm tom, rank 7 rouge"
@quick ice lol that story is as silly as it is boring
her dad's gonna be impressed aswell
i mean
Get your logs up on the ipad and just flip it over to her as you air mattress by
what 8/10 girl is by the pool and has her dad around?
even better
@marble hemlock Valid point
Dude? How old is she?
a young 8/10 girl
I met her right before tindr became a thing, so online dating was like, okcupid in my city, basically. I was the first guy she messaged and she was the last woman I interacted with--right before I was gonna quit because online dating was such a hassle
Thats two too many xDs
XD
!
I know.. i didn’t read it before i posted..
tom's not replying her dad probably ko'd him
He's busy working his Portuguese magic
it was kinda ok knowing him, he will be forever be that presence of "are we missing someone"
he was probably staring too much, so the dad came over and asked "what are you doing staring at my son"
I reckon he tries to compare himself to Ronaldo tbh
xD is kinda like lol
we know what you're really doing
Chuckle
Quietly
To
Myself
Or
Maybe
Silently
Smile```
CQTMOMSS
which is why hes too ashamed to answer further questions
Is tom creepy? Should we back out of the chat before we are incriminated into something?
c qt moms hah nice
shouldve just went over and said "hi, im tom, i can teach you about sin if you want"
what girl are you talking about
@gaunt moat tom found a girl by the pool
Tom's peepin' an alleged 8/10 at the pool
As long as he's not creepily staring at her from across the pool
who's with her dad lul
neither is tom
he has been suspiciously absent for a while now
Plot twist: Tom takes home the Dad.
the saga of how Tom got his black eye
We thinks she is either 3/10 or quite young cause her dad is there
well he's 19
im also still not convinced its her dad
probably floating in the pool right now knocked out
True but that doesn’t help if she is underaged
hopefully face up
Face down
well
Don’t hope for happiness
age of consent in brazil is 14
It is?
Jeez guys?
unless it changed since i was there like 10years ago
lmao
Damn..
hahahaha
can show you the slides if you want
i've dated a pretty young girl when i was like 21
but then i learned they're idiots.
😐
Younger as in...?
Haha me too xD
was a schooltrip actually, exchange student thingy, and the first thing the brazilian students told us was the drinking age and age of consent, so yeah
saved
i think she was 15
bro
Was she Brazillian?
That illegal in my country xD
russian
they also said that the law doesnt really matter where we were, cause they were all from wealthy families, and if they caught us driving a car or drinking we should just mention the family-name and everything would be solved
but she was hot, so afaik it's fine if she's hot.
its only uncomfortable now
like
6y difference
is weird when its 15v21
when its 40vs46? not so much
is it still uncomfortable if you are 30 and date a 20 year old?
When its 18/12 very much so
she dated like a 30 year old before me X_X
see that's weird
were you a step-up or did you look like 30 when you were 21?
well she found another guy after 2 weeks so i guess i wasn't a step up, lol
lol
or she was a whore
HahahxD
you know
Is it okay to 5cp rupture after exsang runs out, then just refresh at 6cp before the next exsang?
but then i met the love of my life, so it's fine heh
already 7.5 years :x
Cool!
who gives a fuck about what other people think
Ahh ok
i hear in sweden it's okay to marry children
@echo estuary Someone said Sweden
but seriously, as long as everythings fine according to the law, you shouldnt care about age difference if both partners are into each other
no
god no
Everything?
this is weird
even a penis?
would you rather murder an ugly girl or hot girl?
you see, it's pretty easy.
Then she wouldn’t be hot tho. With a pepe
What if the threat of murder made the ugly girl pretty?
if you kill the ugly one, you can still sleep with the hot one. doesnt work the other way around... i hope
Paper bag?
what if
@solid nova wasn't that bad... i had a date with current gf literally a day after.
thats what i was alluding to
wait, why are you assuming there are 2 girls
what if
i just said, if you're gonna murder someone
she might as well be hot
Just duck tape the two girls together and go wild tbh
Mate
What if it's an ugly girl with two personalities
But after is no fun
Age of consent in Portugal is 14
and the second one is actually hot
how did we get on to murder?
Okay, let me rephrase that
@solid nova THERE ARE NO 2 GIRLS!!!
Guys? Is this getting a bit darkwebby?
we were talking about hot girls and quickly came to murder somehow
also, Tom - was it her dad? since you're back now
@gaunt moat BUT I WANT TO TAPE THEM TOGETHER TO MAKE 1
I’ve hooked up with several 16 year old cuz when you’re drunk and at a club it is legit impossible to tell
that's not how it works!!
Dammit!
What if there's an ugly girl with two personalities and the second personality is like, really hot, like, the hottest person you've ever seen. Like, your soul mate
personalities cant be hot
My ex was a very shy girl and looked like an ugly crap
it's not like if you tape together two 9 year old they become an 18 year old
drops 500m pole not touchin this
When she got her shit around, she was the hottest girl i've ever seen
You dont sleep with people who have nice personalities
yeah well
You fuck the hot one
nothing to do with personality
It's the whole smiling, looking up, non-gloomy thing
what if you're blind though
meh
I havent got time to listen to the nice personality if im out or whatever
personality has a big role in sexiness for me
exactly
Me too
hotness =!= sexiness though
there are generally accepted "sexy" people that I can't stand
I'm talking like 1 nighters
and wouldn't touch
in all srsness, brains
probably just that shes biologically female
o
It's all about ass Jose
You mean people who are named bob? Or boobs?
yes?
Like, you want to talk to your girl about something that excites you
I'd say personality > brains > the rest for me
because there are some brainy ppl that I can't f'n stand
The biggest turnoff would be "what's that"
with the right personality, you can teach her
i mean obviously you want some sort of intellectual compatibility with a partner
👍
or worse "ew, that thing sucks"?
mate, mmmate.
I mean there has to be physical attraction
but when you look at someone and think "wow, shes hot" thats not what youre concerned about at that point
i'd say for me personality = looks > good at games
you just want to stick it in, without even knowing anything about her
^

THANK YOU.
I was into a girl who I liked for her goofy personality and bobs
One day we meet up and she's like
My first date with my gf we talked at a coffee place for 6 hours straight
Honestly if I'm not attracted to her in the first place I'm not going to talk to her
Okay, worst case scenario, I want you to be a godfather
what
sexy, attractive, beautiful, cute, theyre all made up in your mind after you get to know the girl, "hot" however is really almost exclusively about sexual attraction at first glance
Which one is more accurate to sim? Raiderboy or askmrrobot?
Raidbots

why would she want you to be a godfather, that's just weird
maybe she wants the coke?
Stupid sin questions messing up the cool conversations
she had sex with a random guy with a condom
godfather-zoned??
Theres a chance!
that's when I realized
I've had one split once
I despise dumb chicks
It is when i paid for it
you actually have to get a prescription
Hahahah
don't need a script in USA
imagine breaking the condom, youre panicking a bit
same in Greece
She owes me £15 still
and then
time is ticking
you gotta go to the doctor first
wait like an hour
find a pharmacy
etc.
In norway we just but it for like 50$
in here you don't need prescription, but these pills are really not something you want to take regularly... they'll fuck your hormones.
I went to Boots Pharmacy, walked her in and we sat there, got seen, 15mins later pill was popped and life went on
Richard, mate, you should be glad you don't owe her child support
Didnt see her again after that
@solid nova dude. Guys pay for those accidents. Just how it is
Only if its born
also the side affects of those pills can make girl feel really bad for a couple of days
id rather pay to have the security of nothing coming up again in 9months
Even bigger bullet dodged
I was 17 at the time
HahaxD
then trust the dumb chick that she knows what to do and pay for it
£30 was loads for me then 😂
I was 16 when i bought my first regretpill
shouldve thought better about your "load" then :x
Well you dont exactly expect it to split do you
ofc you dont, but its something youre concerned about for quite some time after again, i know i was
hmm
Yeah for sure
I have questions
but there's no way to bring them up without literally getting into dick measuring contests
Go!
we can just get it out fo the way first
You have my curiosity
then you can safely ask your question
The floor is yours Jose
Let's just ask - how the hell are y'all breaking condoms
could just be manufacturing issue
IT FINALLY HAPPENED
^
19 WEEKS
Haven't broken one in my life
FINALLY NO HASTE GEAR
19 weeks of what
lol
I can safely tell you Jose, I do not have a horse cock
SHAME I WILL NEVER FUCKING USE IT
nice
noice
grats @jovial kite
Think of it as putting on i childs jacket if you are 2 meters high and beef
dem feets tho
dem feets ill never use
@limpid reef that's what magnums are for
you know they do come in diff sizes
and if you can't get her ready enough, there are you know, lube products
I know but when you aren’t prepared you get what you get and use it
yeah well
like idk it's just never been an issue for me
sometimes you dont want her to get ready enough
or she doesnt want to
all part of the game
LolxD ready enough isn’t the prob xD
kind of is
Why?xD
of course it is
I want you
Sorry ariana
some women just like to feel a bit of pain
Dude
this isnt right or Oo? looks kind of wrong https://puu.sh/zW4cK/ca80d1d8f7.png
okay havinjg a sado-masochistic side is not the same thing as literal rape
hahaha
hahahahahaha
thats not what im talking about obviously
but ive met plenty of women who did like to feel like theyre getting abused a bit, cause it turned them on even more
nothing wrong with it
My last girlfriend was into choking and such
hahahahah
I can relate
i mean yeah
I know it's just
taken out of context
that does look pretty bad doesnt it 😄
@dapper abyss what should be wrong about that, if you copied the right string from herodamage you're gucci
masochists are a special breed
guys exsang build with bracer+ boots simis 35k higher than my regular poison build. should i spec it without thinking or i miss something?
My last gf was into bdsm @solid nova
i mean the numbers in the bottom part are they supposed to llook liek that? @dire spoke
condom obviously breaks easier if everything isnt as lubed up as it usually is
@shrewd oriole I'm down
tbh, a maso girl is quite fun
^
throating
can you go #off-topic bois
No!
@subtle fablesatana#4110 You can't do that subspec without thinking 😃 It's more work
In fairness
was only a matter of time until someone came in here and felt uncomfortable
It got a bit weird every now and then cuz I wasn’t as into it as they were
or diff work rather
In all fairness, this is part of an assassination rotation
Reysatana 35k is almost nothing when you do 2+ million damage
if you like playing exsang, you can go for it.
poison is simpler
god I hate how tagging works on discord
why the fuck am i getting included in this

because discord tagging is terrible
because discord
and somebody has a longer version of your name
They gotta fix this at some point
I play exang
which, even including numbers
dony bully rey 
it still goes for the shorter name
Exang is fun 😁
12 iq mods
Right click on phone?

I did mention as well
type @proven paths, not @proven path
that's the thing
no idea how phone works, i dont have a smartphone
i sim at 2.215k exsang and 2180k poison. the thing is., i know i can sometimes pull high numbers single target due poison luck. is it same for exsang or its more stable and less proc based?
it's just a dumb bug
and press enter
when you mention it doesn't actually use the internal userID
if you type that shit out and select the pop-up it obviously works, but half the time mention, which should 100% work, doesn't
@dapper abyss https://snag.gy/uXhVwI.jpg that's mine
Feel sorry for Rey with the tags 😦
well
@north basin exang is more bursty and poison is more sub dps i thing
the fun conversation is over
ye these tags doing wonders in discord lately. dunno what reason
@north basin poison def has a higher ceiling
Specially if you use shoulders bracers
hm ok i thought this looks kind of wrong
Rip fun convo
so tldr poison can sometimes do NUMBERS but bleed more skill based and more stable dps wise?
ok iam going to stay poison then.,
i havent played xsang since like
en
maybe i should try it even though my gear blows for it
coz boredom
Exang is fun
And not as bad atm
Except if you are really min/maxing
Then poison is the shiz
i need to actually get some weak auras though or id be boosted and overwrite my ns rupture 100%
no
or something
if you're minmaxing exsang is better
it just doesnt have as high max potential as poison
Really?
those two statements contradict each other, no?
no?
''good'' is judged by default by avg dps
thats why you sim shit
not max potential
it makes sense if you want consistent damage and not to be tied into vanish cds as much
then i guess xsang better that way?
oh you mean minmaxing as in the sense of minmaxing for average vs poison at max potential (as in rng) etc.
@jovial kite how much you simming these days?
I even found a mfd log in top100 on vari
Both use vanish tho no?
lol
2.35m at 971 ilvl
got a recent sim? id love to take a look at it
except you have 3 ilvl more :p
i have 7 ma though
well you use t20 I guess
exsang is harder to play... so 😶
I mean 3 ilvls more
960 t20
i think going for max potential and try lucky pulls is the way to go for minmaxers
cant really compare ilvl when you have a set bonus
harder 
to play 
it is
No you can’t
i couldnt get 2p 4p to sim beter for me with any combo
If I was wearing t20
just memeing notter
my t20 is 930 so its not too bad
and really not worth the hassle imo
hence your argument is kinda moot
idk why ppl would ever want a 'harder' spec, unless it demonstrably and consistently put out bigger dps
one of my t20 peices 945 other one 930.
if they enjoy it, that's fine.
i just wouldn't recommend it to new people as the way to go
if it just "feels" like it plays better, id go for it
i like some more difficulty in my gameplay
that's why.
people play outlaw and all it is guaranteed to give you is rsi 😛
Ashine refuses to play assa 
You could make the game easy and it would still be "fun" and a well-designed game
(and funny)
@jovial kite got a profile-link or smth? would love to have a look at it and see whether the gear i got is comparable to try it out
I don’t think dark souls would be as fu if it was easy personally
Same thing with dungeon crawlers like diablo or poe
hard and difficult rotation should net bigger dps increase in wow. sad its not something blizz considering while tuning
I have half as much fun playing soft core
As I have playing hardcore
The risk of dying and losing everything pumps up the dopamine levels so much
For me obviously
and yet you didnt ask out pool-girl because her dad was around
Patient is key
but he's right that dark souls would still be a good game without the difficulty.
to explain it better:
there are games that have artificial difficulty, that doesn't make them good
dark souls has lore, world, community... etc.
^
the difficulty is one aspect, not the whole
ty bunny
I don’t think I’d enjoy it as much. Without difficulty
the difficulty makes for good memes, notoriety, etc
Sure it’d be a good game
why is saber back in RH
@keen inlet difficulty fetish is lols. Especially if they don't beat the simpler variant.
Notter why did you let this happen
I, me, Tomas. Enjoy difficulty
there are many difficult games you would never play, because they are bad games
it's very rare for people to like difficulty for difficulty's sake
says right in ur nick
Very good comparison.
@gaunt moat I agree but I enjoy a good game more if it’s difficult on top of being a good game
Kingdom hearts for example
most people dont even finish the games they buy
I nearly broke a remote xaethron or whatever it’s called
yep didnt finished wow yet
lol
There are lots of different ways you can get damaging feedback, but the Difficulty Fetishists are the ones you must fear the most. They are marked by three qualities:
1. They ALWAYS want the game to be harder, no matter how hard it already is.
2. They will be the loudest, most persistent givers of feedback. They will swarm forums, making them seem more numerous than they are.
3. They are mean and contemptuous to anyone who suggests, no matter how meekly, that the game is too hard to be fun. ("n00b!" "LRN 2 PLAY!" "GIT GUD!")
Now let us be very clear. Gamers who love really hard games ARE a valid audience. I have several such gamers as permanent members of my testing pool, and they are invaluable when I design the harder difficulty levels. However, they MUST be kept away from influencing the default difficulty level at all costs.
yeah sure, i totally understand that preference.
having a challange is important
Saber insanity was bulldogging outlaw superiority until the first day he tried sub then just ghosted outlaw.
seems like a very biased way to look at feedback you feel is "not helpful"
Carrot 🥕 is important.
but in WoW, i don't think the challenge necessarily should come from playing your spec @shrewd oriole
the only good thing in that excerpt is the last sentence imo
I see it on a regular basis here with the casual-bashing
¯_(ツ)_/¯
as discord = nu!forums
somewhat, yes
i dont think however that they are the loudest of sub-groups in any given community
they are just perceived as such
@gaunt moat I prefer simple specs and hard encounters
because there's only one way, or according to jeff no way, to satisfy their demand, while most other subgroups can be engaged in a couple of different ways
well
The games I mentioned I really enjoyed have relatively simple conba
But incredibly difficult encounters
that's a fairly accurate depiction
Like, dunno if you’ve ever played kingdom hearts
not really, but ive seen plents of games get downvoted to hell because its "too hard"
and a reason I stopped hanging out in steam forums
But it’s really simple to do attacks and combos
i think there is a certain "pride" of mastering a complex spec (subtlety for example).
and that's fine too. so i can get people wanting specs to be mroe complex.
@shrewd oriole You thought KH was incredibly hard?
and when i played them it turned out that they just want everything handed to them on a silver platter, which is not an attitude i will ever support
I think people who argue in favor of difficulty tend to get unfairly placed in the Difficulty Fetishist bracket as a way to dismiss their argument
I thought it was too easy, if anything. But I don't care if stuff's easy
@keen inlet kh on max difficulty was incredibly hard for me
the only thing that ever gave me a challenge was Sephiroth
You only unlock nightmare after you beat the game on the previous hardest difficulty
¯_(ツ)_/¯
So only on the second play through
yeah connor, i agree with that
Most shit becomes a one shot
thats the thing though
I played it recently on normal with my at the time gf now ex and it was really easy
max, then nightmare 8)
for every guy wanting the game to be harder
I loved KH and 2
Same
there is someone who wants to be able to beat the hardest difficulty for the achievements or whatever
Amazing game
and cant do it, and wants it to be easier
Maybe it wasn’t that hard and I’m bad or maybe it’s nostalgia
Think I played it when I was 12
plenty of games have locked the achievements behind ironman mode, and gotten a lot of flak for it
At the time I played wow and adventure quest 
@marble hemlock I don't think that's accurate. People who legitimately want those achievements don't want it to be easier. You'll get some outliers who want everything accessible, but that's a different argument
Let's take WoD for example.
They made the LFR tier look like garbage, and most ppl I encountered were okay with that
there are still people advocating for difficulty modes in dark souls for example.
i don't agree with that.
i think it would dilute the experience.
Some people would say this opinion is "difficulty fetishist"
the argument of "i want to play this game but i cant because its too hard" is not that far away though is it?
It is wednesday my dudes
they understood that mythic appearances, and normal appearances, were for people that could clear that content
"i paid money for this game, so im entitled to experiencing all it has to offer"
ughh
@gaunt moat I think it's harmless. If they want an easier mode, fine. What does it bother me? It doesn't.
first barbeque of the year about to happen, i am hyped
thats the type of argument im talking about, and it creeps up very often
Dark souls is way easier if you coop it
I'm all for accessibility.
So you have a way to reduce the difficulty
When I post a roic log in here I know I'll get memed by mythic raiders. But idc. Heroic's my mode, my choice, etc
Should I be pooling at all during my rotation?
well, wow is a different type of beast entirely
@zenith cloak epends on your stats/gear tbh
But it also comes with a cost
What am I looking at
but from a game-design perspective, allocating more resources to creating more difficulty levels so everyone can enjoy the game, elitists and casuals alike, isnt something every dev can afford
Which is very much in the spirit of the game
🐟
Fishies
Off memory I have 185% mast and like 32% crit with shoulders wrists
Had to move with max stealth
👌
more often than not they are forced to create a default difficulty, and if that one is too high they risk economic damage
and that sucks
There are also other methods of controlling difficulty

You pool when the situatuon requires it @zenith cloak
hes probably in the lobby where they have a few aquariums put up
@keen inlet cause i think having a challenge is important. and it's for their own good.
it might sounds asinine. but that's my belief.
asking to remove challenges is asking the developers to betray their creation.
i'm in the opinion games can be art.
and that developers have a vision when they make it.
it's not fair to tell someone to betray that vision because you're lazy.
For example, in Breath of the Wild, you are given a tremendous amount of control in-game over your difficulty
If something's too hard, avoid it.
Sneak. Eat food. Fly. Whatever.
thats a AAA game though
they can afford to implement difficulty scaling
loved breath of the wild, really good Zelda
what about games like ELEX
I agree with notters perspective
@gaunt moat If the design is for something to be challenging in X way, then I agree with you. That's design.
Bloodborne with different difficulties wouldnt be bloodborne
a lot of devs have to decide to forego the difficulty they planned for the game, because nowadays you will get more bad ratings if your game is too hard because people will refund and slam you on steam
But is the challenge for challenge's sake
@keen inlet yeah obviously this is not the opinion for "all games"
So I shouldn’t necessarily pool energy before KB comes up? Cause I’ve been doing that for like every KB without Ven
you can ofc to keep envenom buff up
@keen inlet obviously you have both. but for people with the "i want everything on a silver platter" attitude it doesnt matter if its part of the experience or not
You also want to pool for tb
pool before tb to get more envenoms in during tb
it's like "getting over it" @keen inlet
most people would not play for more than 5 minutes
but having checkpoints would defeat the point
To get at least 2 envenoms into tb
they just want what they want, and if they cant have it, theyll get upset
or having characters not die in "Darkest dungeon"
tb
tb
cause people are asking for those kind of things
@gaunt moat Get Over It is an example where the difficulty is inherently part of the design
kb you "just" need to keep up envenom 100% up during its duration, tb you want to get in as many envenoms as possible
depends on gear ofc
Thats the case for many of these games
And 2 envenoms for tb is like the minimum?
I think the difficulty in dark souls is more a part of the hype--I don't see it as necessary to the game for it to be good, as we discussed earlier
you should aim for that ye
hmm i think it does
like... if you wanna get really into it
people who "gave up" mid-way through playing dark souls
are basically "hollowed" they lost the will the continue
i really love that idea
like, i dont want to sound elitist here, but why is it that whenever you ask someone about a "difficult" game nowadays, they always immediately jump to darksouls?
I think the difficulty of dark souls is really intricate to its charm. Bosses are overwhelming and makes you feel so out of this world, so to speak
Because it's the most well known game for being difficult
and tbh it's not really that hard, cause you have many tools, so @marble hemlock is right...
like, you can summon people to help you.
but i guess that's besides the point heh
im just baffled because a lto of the times you see people bash games for being too difficult you almost always see comments like "i like hard games, ive done ng+3 in darksouls, but this game take it too far"
like wat?
you can just run back to the boss
But at the same time the difficulty alienates a player base missing out from a game with great visuals and lore
Ok, another thing is in a hypothetical situation let’s say I have Kb on the target and it has 3 seconds left but my rupture is going to fall off in 3 seconds as well. Is it better to envenom one last time and let rupture fall off or should I just reapply rupture
then there's another tradeoff that if you summon help, and get invaded, it's 2vs1 usually
i mean yeah, the fights arent cakewalks, but whats so hard about that? you lose your souls, and time
Yeah but invader has monsters on his side
but its not all that different to quicksaving before a boss-fight and trying it 20 times
@zenith cloak Let the rupture fall off and pray you crit on your next mut
the difficulty is intricate to the game
okay, since i can't exit gam for addons
The game is difficult but not too difficult for people to not be able to beat it
stealth, garrote, mutilate, rupture
Its kinda like an introduction to more difficult games
theen vendetta, mutilate vanish, toxic and kingsbane
yeah
refresh garrote, mutilate and spam mutilate envenom while keeping rupture up?
@zenith cloak If you've got the energy though you could fit an envenom, mut and rupture in that window nearly. So downtime would be minimal on Rutpure for that extra KB envenom.
darksouls at its core is just about learning the core-game mechanics and fighting monsters that can kill you quickly, unless you learn to read their tells and dodge everything with a huge-ass i-frame dodgeroll
which, obviously, isnt easy and takes practice
Vanish > envenom/rupture, depending on legendaries
shoulders wrists
Its something you practice for
But its not an insanely difficult platformer
@hollow cove don't mut after vendetta just tb, kb
But then again you can learn those things as well
but i was talking about vendetta->mutilate for combo and vanish->toxic?
A 3 second remaining kingsbane will tick twice, right? It ticks every 2 seconds?
Its all rinse and repeat anyways
At 2 and at 0
Every game is
gimme an example of an opener
yes
If youre trying to get good
the real difficult game is Verminitide 2... but @marble hemlock never invites me 😭
Everything in life is rinse and repeat 🤷
the real difficult game
@hollow cove garrote > mut > rupture > vendetta > tb > kb > vanish > env....
havent really been playing much these past two weeks
HOLES
last really difficult game i played combat-wise was age of decadence :/
reallife`
@hollow cove Standard opener
tbh if you can clear a dungeon on alpha you're better than any mythic raider rn
don't @ me
aha
With mantle
lemme try that
haven't done any dungeons yet :x
They're not bad
memes aside
they're just
so much trash
espeically THE MOTHERLODE
it's like 30mins of trash
5mins of bossfights
havent doen any bfa stuff yet, was waiting for azerite to come
i promptly got disappointed tonight
so i guess now is a good a time as any to start on the road of disappointment
you can manipulate trashpulls with Pick Lock
and tbh the final boss in there is one of my favs
any way you can reset cds and combo points in order hall
Road of disappointment sounds like a name for a dark souls map.
can queue up for arena skirmish
Join a skirmish,
