But idk if two back of the head hits kill it, would be pretty difficult to time that so that you hit at the same time
#gamescom2022
minor cedar
Otherwise the moving of the giant due to the hit would make the second hit a difficult one
But I am pretty sure it takes more than two hits to take down a big striker
At least reliably
nova crest
yeah i haven't experimented with it enough to say definitively
minor cedar
I know that back of the head one time requires two more hits to the back, the spine area, for it to go down
Don't like risking multiple people hitting the head, too risky
stuck elm
3back 1 chest works great for me
minor cedar
if you want easy hits, less aim required, less risky, go all on the back
as long as you aren't blocking each other's view of the back lol
so yeah, if you don't want to risk going for the head, probably best your way, Lafi
least risky way to take him down with four guys

maybe the striker but the bigger ones should definitely be called giants and titans
I've been referring to them as giants and titans all throughout the game

no that's confusing and why did you replace striker by sleeper
cerulean tangle
idk i've just called them by sleeper
but yeah the whole striker = sleeper thing is confusing

sleepers are all the sleeping enemies

giant and titan are synonyms, too confusing

shut osprey
Why people down voting my suggestion. Toggle for separate firing rates. 1 shot, 3 shot burst, semi auto, fully auto, and maybe rapid. Ammo is low to begin with, would allow more versatility.
native light
probably just something people dont think needs to be added
empty crow
yeah it feels like reddit
brazen kayak
@shut osprey In my experience it helps to layout:
Why: What is your mechanic gonna add to the core gameplay - Alternative fire mode gonna add another layer to the shooting mechanics.
Positives: What good brings the new feature to the gameplay - That means new weapons can be balanced around effectiveness of spray vs. control burst. Some weapons can be high firepower, but huge recoil, so if a player is unsure about such weapon, he can shot it in alternate fire modes, with more control with the tradeoff of lessen fire rate.
Bads: What issues can such feature bring - Weapons might become more "samey" if all of them have such function and weapon identity can be lost. Also to implement such a feature, the general recoil would increase overall, making the game less arcade'y than it is now. Making hip fire spray worse.

Pax West is in Seattle.

GenCon is in Indy, though, it's generally more about table top games.

Svante did very well! I think the lack of mentioning how the game currently works with matchmaking in dischord, in respect of Overtone; leaves a lot of room for confusion. It sound s like overtone match making is far away and the only thing we can do is use steam by itself. which may turn off some people.
it was good having an interviewer how's played
who's*
cold spire
it's tough to go into details on how overtone plays a role in GTFO as there are a lot of plans and dreams for how overtone can help make GTFO a better game and help the players, but until plans are solidified, things are subject to change (speaking as someone who knows what some of those plans are).

Game had the nerve to tell me it missed. No shit game thanks.
livid vessel
most games have a "conditioned number generator" because full random can cause one to void their monitor's warranty
I like pure RNG, only if it effects all sides. Otherwise I'd rather it be conditioned to a degree.
If it effects only me, then i end up save-scumming

What's going on with overtone?

What is Overtone?
Overtone is a gaming Voice and Chat application with a focus on outstanding audio quality and getting your party into a game ASAP.
How do I join Overtone?
Right here: https://gtfo.overtone.app
Is this replacing Discord?
Absolutely not. Discord will still be the home for discussing GTFO and we have no plans to remove our LFG or voice channels. Overtone is new partnership to enhance your gaming experience such as providing outstanding audio quality and getting you into a party and starting a game ASAP.
It's a partnership between GTFO and Overtone. There are some really cool things that are planned for the future that Overtone can offer to make your gaming experience better.

I can tell you right now, not many people are going to use that.
When we have discord
merry haven
I mean it will be even more useless with ingame voice chat so I don't really get it Owo
acoustic axle
Yar
merry haven
A game needing a tier software to be played isn't a good idea anyway it reduces the player base like crazy (currently the case with discord but that's normal since no matchmaking yet)
so I hope they'll just keep it in a side stuff
acoustic axle
using steam fourms as lfg
cold spire
using overtone in-game to provide audio instead of creating their own audio servers or using discords bad audio and stability issues
cold spire
overtone isn't just a gaming app, it's also an audio service.
And we know how it can make or break a game. Overtone is built on VIVOX - the most reliable voice platform in the gaming world.
Trusted by leading game studios and integrated into numerous blockbuster titles - from Fortnite, PUBG and Rainbow Six, to League of Legends and World of Tanks - we have made this exclusive technology available directly to gamers around the world.
cold spire
I can't speak for the future, but providing in-game audio service is something Overtone does.
merry haven
well let's hope you won't need to do strange manips and create accounts in order to make it works owo
livid vessel
i think the choice of doing discord and overtone is a good idea. it's hard to argue against multiple options.
merry haven
I'm just saying requiring the use of tier software is a bad idea
I wasn't talking about in-game audio services

Overtone has better call audio quality than discord. In terms of player to player communication, there's less issues with disconnects and people suddenly becoming robots

broken scarab
I've had issues where for whatever reason there's people I can't make private calls to, but there's no issue calling them via servers. Same person, but calls through my friends list won't work to or from them
There's also been issues where someone gets stuck in "connecting" to a voice chat, or while already in the chat they get pushed to that
Audio quality has been less of an issue for me, but awkward seemingly random connectivity issues are more prevalent
The thing about audio quality is that once you go to a higher quality, lower quality becomes disgusting so I'm a bit apprehensive about actually starting to use overtone 
leaden creek
I can testify that Overtone's audio quality makes me despise Discord's quality, even on a "max booster" level server. Discord is so much more robotic, quiet and distorted on many occasions, that I kinda grew to use overtone over discord when it comes to voice chats. I can hear people properly, even quiet lads, people are not turning into a robot which is a constant issue for me with discord, I have to leave and rejoin voice chats every 30 minutes because the quality starts dropping. I am not even going to mention that i have people being cut off constantly, sometimes discord just not playing sounds properly or at all...etc.
leaden creek
It depends what you are using the most tbh, voice chats or text
If you use voice chat a lot more, Overtone is definitely superior to Discord. It of course needs polishing, especially on their mobile application which is luckily really high on their priorities list, but with time it can be a really good option. Personally I think that Overtone and Discord are not competition to each other due to a major difference. Overtone puts an extremely heavy emphasis on matchmaking and finding people to play with, and while Discord originally was a gaming related platform, by now it's userbase has saturated it into a community driven text based chat application than something for matchmaking and playing.
Thats my take on it at least
