And do an overhead 24/7

crude ermine
#

Just bait, dodge, smack repeat

serene sage
#

Yep

umbral scaffold
#

Just need to bait him

#

Yeah

#

It is yeah

#

Chaos Spawn and Ogryn are actually incredibly low damage

serene sage
#

Plogryn biggest threat is just knocking you off the map

crude ermine
#

Least it ain't as slow as fighting it with a spear and shield

umbral scaffold
#

But they will throw you off hard

serene sage
#

I guess sometimes they can corner you as well

#

And body block

umbral scaffold
#

So their danger is if they corner you
Or if they split you and toss you to a gunner squad

#

Yeah

crude ermine
#

That's just unfortunate positioning if so

umbral scaffold
#

Apart from that they're lowish threat apart from if you're fighting them at a bridge

#

Then they can just randomly kill someone by accident lul

crude ermine
#

I like killing them with doors

pine snow
crude ermine
#

If I don't feel like fighting them

umbral scaffold
#

The instant delete

topaz pebble
#

Oh speaking of

crude ermine
#

Fucking hate mutants

topaz pebble
#

I love how you still can get hit when inside a beast

crude ermine
#

Too many times do they always CHOOSE to stop in bomber flames

topaz pebble
#

Very fub gameplay

topaz pebble
#

Yeah, if you get vored and a teammate keeps baiting tail slam

#

You will die

pine snow
#

i swear im the only person in my team that sees bombers and flamers

topaz pebble
#

VERY fast

#

Same withfire

umbral scaffold
#

Ye lol

crude ermine
#

Yeah that's fatshark at its finest

umbral scaffold
#

Fire instakills you in the BoN

#

Meanwhile the BoN is like

pine snow
#

this is fine

umbral scaffold
#

Mmm I BETTER ROLL AROUND IN THE FLAMES

serene sage
umbral scaffold
#

YOU THINK THE PLAYER IS ENJOYING THIS TOO MMM YES

serene sage
#

I played VoC for so long, coming back to ES is such a weird feeling

crude ermine
#

Wish I could grab a giant fucking saltshaker and pour it on that bastard

serene sage
#

like everything is so ... nice

pine snow
#

im addicted to voc\

serene sage
#

you can see

#

you can shoot

crude ermine
#

I dont care if it's a gastropod or not it's close enough

serene sage
#

your ult last forever

#

I think taking Tactical Awareness is bait

spice wadi
#

pursue the yellow men

pine snow
#

but voc and then pull out psword and start hacking 😦

shut flax
topaz pebble
#

VoC is the best ability in the game IMO

crude ermine
#

I like it when running helbore

topaz pebble
#

Like, actually cannot think of a better ult

crude ermine
#

But that's it

umbral scaffold
#

My run a while ago just ended cos a mutant actually tossed me to another mutant

pine snow
#

also the voice li nes are just KEKW_ogryn

umbral scaffold
#

Who held me in fire

#

Absolutely awful lol

shut flax
#

If the Zealot's equivalent didn't require them to put away their weapons, I'm sure that would win out.

crude ermine
#

Father son bonding

spice wadi
#

I like when the specials coordinate

topaz pebble
#

I love cutthroat vet for this exact reason, best ult lines in the game

spice wadi
#

makes u feel like ur fighting intelligent enemies

shut flax
#

I hope VOC doesn't lock vets into a weapon eventually.

crude ermine
#

I fucking don't

umbral scaffold
terse idol
spice wadi
#

I will hold you in fire until u die

umbral scaffold
crude ermine
#

Don't want trapper and her 5th boyfriend to spew me with his firey pissgun

pine snow
#

trapper + bomber:

#

team somehow does not notice the two behind them

#

everyone then dies

topaz pebble
#

Bomber + anyfuckingbody

#

I hate them

shut flax
#

I mean, if you run Born Leader with both ET and CK you can kinda get away with not using VOC

umbral scaffold
#

My 2nd favorite combo

#

Is the bomber spam

crude ermine
#

Least hounds get knocked off

Wait no that's flamer

Does it even matter you're dead anyway

umbral scaffold
#

Just far enough from each other to explode 1 by 1

serene sage
#

I run triple toughness regen for ExecStance

#

i guess Quadruple

umbral scaffold
#

But close enough that they'll just repeatedly jump on you over and over

spice wadi
#

I fkn love

serene sage
#

it's really nice

spice wadi
#

unironically

#

when I see a guy get netted

#

and then the bomber grenade bounces off their prone body

serene sage
#

🤨

crude ermine
#

Sick individual

spice wadi
#

It's like watching a guy get wiped out in a japanese gameshow

pine snow
shut flax
umbral scaffold
#

Speaking of trappers lol
Reddit keeps telling people not to unnet people

crude ermine
#

I got downed by a bomber nade once

#

Like

#

Direct impact of it

#

Not the flames

umbral scaffold
#

"kill everything first then unnet them"

crude ermine
#

I just got free from a BON

umbral scaffold
#

Actually the worst advice I've ever seen

spice wadi
umbral scaffold
#

Net is like half a second

spice wadi
#

you got BEANED

umbral scaffold
#

Why would you not do it and let them get a wound

crude ermine
#

Saw the nade hit my face and I fucking fell over

wanton dawn
#

exec stance is actually really strong on autogun build, specifically columnus iag and agri brauto

serene sage
serene sage
#

saying always net or always kill is dumb

#

use your judgement in a case by case basis

topaz pebble
#

Like 9/10 its better to just unnet

#

But if im about to get assblasted

spice wadi
#

In my experience trying to unnet someone instantly summons a mutie to grab me and throw me away from the netted guy

umbral scaffold
topaz pebble
#

Im not unnetting you until im safe

spice wadi
#

magical sorcery

shut flax
#

It's situational. If they're thrown into the fray by a mutant and then netted four miles away from your current position, sure. Don't kill the team trying to save them.

umbral scaffold
crude ermine
#

Muties always show up at the most inconvenient

shut flax
#

If they're at your feet, sure.

crude ermine
#

They're like the IRS

wanton dawn
crude ermine
#

Just not as dangerous

pine snow
#

i am plasma addict

topaz pebble
#

Im a meta(hellbore) slave

umbral scaffold
#

Which is an interesting lie

crude ermine
#

Addicted to helbore and revolver

topaz pebble
#

MY BROTHER

shut flax
#

It's literally less than a second

serene sage
#

I don't revive teammates so I can top frag and flame them for sucking

pine snow
#

only problem with plasma is im too used to being able to get careless with charge bc of venting shriek on psyker

serene sage
shut flax
#

Pull out the melee and pull em up

umbral scaffold
pine snow
#

so sometimes i just explode bc im like yeah ill be fine

serene sage
#

how else would I do 800k damage in a game?

umbral scaffold
#

There's videos on reddit of someone getting netted

#

And falls next to someone

topaz pebble
umbral scaffold
#

And the guy in the video takes like 20 seconds to kill everyone else first

topaz pebble
#

Well not anymore, but you can still get close

serene sage
umbral scaffold
#

Then it would be the best melee weapon

pine snow
#

BAYONET PARRY

shut flax
#

Some people struggle to context switch. It's fine, but then they tell others to do it.

#

Kind of a problem.

umbral scaffold
#

Ye

topaz pebble
#

Like, comically hard

spice wadi
#

there are some teams where I know that if I get netted or downed

#

the wipe will be instant

#

like

#

bang bang bang

#

everyone else

#

also dead

crude ermine
#

Or dockets

spice wadi
#

You also willingly eat gas station sushi

#

bad example person

crude ermine
#

I WAS STARVING

#

12 HOURS

topaz pebble
#

What gas station sells sushi

#

I have yet to see one

south garnet
#

POV: you have been netted for 0.001 seconds and your team has been distracted for 0.01 seconds

umbral scaffold
shut flax
#

I would trust gas station chicken before I trust gas station sushi

#

and I've eaten some bad sushi before

spice wadi
#

some EU convenience stores have ready made meals

topaz pebble
#

Yeah all the ones I've been to just sell junk food basically

#

Outside of like, WaWa gas stations

serene sage
#

Have you seen Wisconsin gas stations bro

#

They sell a 5 gallon vodka bottle from like $5

#

That's some shit

shut flax
#

I present to you: Buc-ees.

pine snow
#

all the gas stations ive been to just have a shit ton of junk food, sometimes a straight up pizza hut, and a metric ton of random drinks

serene sage
#

'Murica

shut flax
spice wadi
#

I know

#

I have deep fried my neurons to the point where I am only awake joining soloqueue quickplays in mid-match

#

and loading into an orange screen full of fire with a psyker falling through the map

serene sage
#

Is there a way to quick play but with HISTG/Maelstrom only?

shut flax
#

Diving feet first into a losing match does have a certain charm to it

serene sage
#

Normal HI is boring for me

spice wadi
#

you just soloqueue auric and hope you get lucky

serene sage
#

And I can't do dark or vent purge cause eye no likey

spice wadi
#

sometimes the game jumpscares you with eyestrain mode

#

true

#

unfortunately

#

soloqueueing is a good way to learn psyker

#

cos if you ever fuck up your perils

#

u wipe

#

u will fail the escort mission

humble loom
#

is there any great builds?? that can go damned??

shut flax
#

Soloqueueing auric is the embodiment of "losing is fun". It has a charm to it, but the moment someone gets salty is ruins the illusion

umbral scaffold
#

Yep

crude ermine
#

Ater a while the fun where's off and I just go play Baldur's

junior haven
#

The salt fuels me to prove they ain't shit.

spice wadi
#

I like the occasional screaming eastern european

crude ermine
#

3 gates

serene sage
junior haven
#

Baldur's Basics.

crude ermine
#

Then get annoyed over my unfortunate luck of the dice

#

Seriously this die hates me

spice wadi
#

you roll badly on dex and get crushed on the way to burger king

shut flax
#

"What do you mean I can't use the fuckin mirror"

umbral scaffold
crude ermine
#

What's that

humble loom
crude ermine
#

DON'T FACEPALM ME MITTENS

umbral scaffold
# crude ermine What's that

Karmic dice is basically a gameplay toggle where it stops you from failing or succeeding too many times in a row

crude ermine
#

Ah

#

I'll have to check

umbral scaffold
#

That way you don't get 9 misses at.95% hit

shut flax
#

Columnus mk V, Onslaught, middle tree into rending

umbral scaffold
#

Keep it on so you don't get too many salty bad rolls in a row

shut flax
#

Keep it off for the meme

topaz pebble
#

BG3, truly highlights my terrible luck

shut flax
#

Xcom mode

topaz pebble
#

Cooks up a build for like, 30+ AC

serene sage
#

XCOM cheats

#

But in your favor KEKW_ogryn

topaz pebble
#

Enemies consistently roll dumb 18+

junior haven
#

Turn it on or off when the dice doesn't roll in whichever way you want. Constantly flip the switch.

shut flax
#

Install a mod that creates worse luck for an accurate DND session.

umbral scaffold
#

Game designers realized that people saw 50%

shut flax
umbral scaffold
#

And expected to win all the time on 50%

umbral scaffold
#

But it's just funny how they algorithmed it is all

#

players think 80% is more like 99%

#

so true calculated value of 80% is more like 90%

#

Interesting way they obfuscated the calcs

shut flax
#

That's actually really funny tbh

#

Makes sense. A LOT of user peripheries are skewed in favor of the average person.

umbral scaffold
#

Yup
So the remembered fire emblem games use that system ( called 2 RN, where it compares X chance to hit and averages a Y and Z roll as your true chance to hit )

shut flax
#

Looking into it, apparently it was a point of contention when it was introduced.

umbral scaffold
#

yep
Veterans of the OG system got used to 1 RN ( which is just roll 1 number ) and viewed it as "too casual friendly"

serene sage
#

I play FE for the dating sim

#

that's about it

#

the gameplay loop is a little too much focus on getting one unit to an extremely high level and solo the map

#

which imo is boring

shut flax
#

Depending on how you look at it, it almost is as it turns genuine chance into strategy that can be planned on.
Granted, I enjoy 2RN but I enjoy games that use 1RN as well.

#

I believe Zomboid uses 1RN + %resistance, but I could be wrong

serene sage
#

there's also the pseudo random in Warcraft

#

where crit chance increase if don't crit

#

until you do then the increased amout resets to 0

shut flax
#

Yep. Psuedo random is the norm for user-focused design. Very few games use true random (Fear and Hunger)

umbral scaffold
#

ye

serene sage
#

so there used to be crit baiting where people purposefully attack unimportant targets before engagements so they have higher crit chance KEKW_ogryn

umbral scaffold
#

cos it gets frustrating af at times

#

personally I enjoy both styles anyway

umbral scaffold
#

and off to gank my Archmage with his almost guaranteed windwalk crit

serene sage
#

oh memories

#

i remember the OG Dota, where Zeus' model is just Muradin in his ult KEKW_ogryn

umbral scaffold
#

Zeus players be like

#

im gonna killsteal with my ult uheuheheueuh

serene sage
#

kinda random but what happened to payday 3 lmao

umbral scaffold
#

awful release

#

as in it didn't work

#

kek

crude ermine
#

That's unfortunate

umbral scaffold
#

and there was drama since they sponsored youtubers like Angry Joe and Actman to an event

#

and both of them were basically like "Man this game is the best game ever I love it I'm having so much fun."
and then it released that way

hasty reef
wary galleon
#

show me ya penance points or what ever the hell its called

gusty bison
shut flax
shut flax
raw steppe
#

is the godawful progression system

#

i took one look at that shit

#

and was like nope

shut flax
#

Yeahhh. From levels 60-100 it was a grindfest.

raw steppe
#

and you have to do bullshit grind too

#

afaik

#

since it's challenge based

shut flax
#

They technically added heist-completion XP gains, but they're fairly small in comparison

#

For example, a 5 minute dirty ice run gets you 30 XP.

raw steppe
#

ye

#

i'll just wait until

#

they either completely rework the system

#

or game dies

shut flax
#

I think that's the best idea. They mentioned that they were gonna give it an overhaul.

raw steppe
#

the skill tree system also looks kinda boring

shut flax
#

They already fixed how armor drops worked, so I have high hopes that they're listening to the players.

raw steppe
#

at least there's not as much interactivity

#

compared to pd2

shut flax
#

To be fair, everyone ran a variation of three different builds in PD2

raw steppe
#

did they?

#

which 3?

shut flax
#

Full crit, swan song, or infinite armor.

#

A few did joker builds, but they really tapered off over overkill

raw steppe
#

hmm yeah I think we must've been playing different games

#

cuz when I played it back like 3 months ago

#

jokers are very worth

shut flax
#

Ohhhh nice. Yeah it's been a minute since I last launched PD2 so that's also a factor

raw steppe
#

1 if you just need the health boost, 2 if you want

#

and there's also a lot more sniper support

#

via the pierce thing

#

and berserk

shut flax
#

Hmmm I might have to pick up PD2 while PD3 gets fixed

#

I'm kinda getting burned out waiting for zomboid build 42 anyhow

raw steppe
#

ye I did every single mission on stealth

#

on dw

#

that was fun

shut flax
#

Sounds like it. I never did solo, but I prolly should for stealth runs.

serene sage
#

what's the number on back 4 blood right now? can someone check steamdb?

raw steppe
#

ded

shut flax
#

Speaking of low numbers

raw steppe
#

b4b is just a bad game lol

#

that's why they dropped support for it

#

there's just no saving it

shut flax
#

B4B had Starbound syndrome. It tried to be something it wasn't and got burned for it.

raw steppe
#

it's not like dt which had a shit launch but great core gameplay

serene sage
raw steppe
#

what did they change

#

imo the card system should've just been a deck that you draw from randomly; rather than just a customizable skill tree

#

i think that would've make it way more fun

serene sage
#

back then you unlock cards as you go along, so "combo" decks feel horrible to play (as in decks that needs multiple cards to function well)

#

now you have all your deck at the beginning, basically your deck is just a way of doing loadouts

#

and you have burn cards for each mission

raw steppe
#

ye i dont like that lol

#

i would've preferred that they kept your "loadout" as a separate system

#

and used the card system as like

#

a semi-randomizer

#

but the main problem is the special design imo

serene sage
#

well now it's just a loudout

lofty lintel
#

Starbound is fire

serene sage
#

and I think it's actually really fun

raw steppe
#

special design is ass

serene sage
#

the deck loudouts that is, tons of variety

raw steppe
#

birds especially

serene sage
#

too bad they figured it out too late

lofty lintel
#

Where did it get burned its just space terraria

shut flax
serene sage
#

also there's not enough variety

raw steppe
#

they made a design decision to add stuff that made you NOT want to shoot stuff in a zombie game

lofty lintel
#

I like to think of them as different games

#

In the same genre

raw steppe
#

it's insane lol

shut flax
raw steppe
serene sage
#

just nade them

raw steppe
#

ofc

#

but half the time

shut flax
#

People go in expecting Terraria, get disappointed, and leave Starbound because, fundamentally, they are different games.

raw steppe
#

you're shooting into the distance

#

and they pop

#

randomly

lofty lintel
serene sage
#

honestly I like the gunplay and I don't mind that mechanic

#

it's also really easy though

shut flax
serene sage
#

cause you have nearly unlimited ammo

lofty lintel
#

Oh well

#

Yeah

serene sage
#

and AI is dumb

raw steppe
#

ye

#

on the harder difficulties

#

they just give everything 32054u93250328502 health

lofty lintel
#

I cant really argue with that its true

raw steppe
#

so you're shooting trash zombies

serene sage
raw steppe
#

for like... ages

serene sage
#

idk when you played

raw steppe
#

it is

#

i never said it was hard lol

#

it was just

#

boring

lofty lintel
#

What game are you talking about

raw steppe
#

because for example

serene sage
#

Back 4 Blood

raw steppe
#

you had that big boss that can't go through doors

serene sage
raw steppe
#

and you end up shooting him for like 2 minutes

lofty lintel
#

I never played it

serene sage
#

oh yeah

raw steppe
#

to kill him

#

it's ass

shut flax
lofty lintel
#

I saw the launch reviews and stuck to l4d2

raw steppe
lofty lintel
#

Yeah didnt catch my attention

serene sage
#

I think B4B suffered from a balance and replayability problem

shut flax
#

That too

lofty lintel
#

I was kinda hyped my friends were saying itd be like left for dead 3

#

My balls

serene sage
#

the shooting itself is totally fine

lofty lintel
#

😭

raw steppe
#

core special design was also just bad

#

none of the specials in b4b were memorable

lofty lintel
#

I watched some gameplay it looked pretty bland

shut flax
#

A volatile director also kinda killed the game

serene sage
raw steppe
#

they were all just boring and bland

shut flax
#

It wasn't as "fair" as L4D was.

#

I say that loosely, because B4B either made it a cakewalk or spammed whatever names the specials are to an unbearable degree.

serene sage
#

imagine Darktide with only buster (that is not dangerous at all), maulers, and gunners KEKW_ogryn

#

that's all of B4B specials

raw steppe
#

rest of their body is carapace

serene sage
#

sometimes their left arm is covered with bulwark shield

#

so you can't damage those either until you knock it off KEKW_ogryn

shut flax
#

Oh, there's also a DH in the game that just eats someone and runs.

raw steppe
#

it's super trash though

#

it doesn't even attack you

#

it just eats someone and runs and you just kill it

shut flax
#

Tru

raw steppe
#

idk i just hate

#

the special design

delicate rivet
#

What perks/blessings are the best for Plasma Gun? Also what should be the dump stat?

raw steppe
#

in that game

shut flax
#

It's less than generic. It's lifeless.

raw steppe
#

i especially hate

#

birds and the screamers

lofty lintel
raw steppe
#

the ones that hide behind walls

lofty lintel
#

Ammo but even then it shouldnt be below 65%

raw steppe
#

it just makes a zombie horde shooter less fun

serene sage
#

for the longest time I was hoping for a game like B4B because it was one of those "mediocre" games that I unironically like

lofty lintel
#

I dare to say 70

raw steppe
#

to constantly be afraid of shooting

serene sage
lofty lintel
#

Perk wise plasma likes unarmoured carapace unyielding flak and maniac

lofty lintel
#

Then for blessings gets hot and volatile/blaze away

serene sage
#

birds weren't that big of a deal cause hordes in the game is piss easy

raw steppe
#

prob power creeped then

#

lol

#

hordes were pretty hard on first mission iirc

#

before you had like 3-4 cards

shut flax
#

At launch when nobody had good builds, it was kinda rough

raw steppe
#

once you got a few cards going it was really easy

delicate rivet
serene sage
#

it's actually fun

#

but too little too late

raw steppe
#

ye too bad it's dead

lofty lintel
shut flax
#

Not to mention the BETA was nearly impossible to beat, since it was balanced around cards that people had no access to.

raw steppe
#

if you have friends i do recommend wwz: aftermath

shut flax
#

It technically was doable, but you needed to use the turrets at the end because there were too many specials that spawned and one person had to martyr themselves to get the boat.

raw steppe
#

as a good zombie horde shooter

raw steppe
#

it has some well executed ideas

serene sage
#

the new acts were also great. there is a museum section that's unironically really fucking fun
what could have been if they knew what to do with difficulty balancing and the card system

#

sad

raw steppe
#

and is a solid 7/10

#

worth playing and worth a bit of fun

lofty lintel
#

Play starship troopers extermination

shut flax
#

I'd compare WWZ to Division. If you like one, you'll like the other.

raw steppe
#

oh yeah division is fun as well

serene sage
lofty lintel
#

Because it is

raw steppe
#

wish div had more build variety

#

though

lofty lintel
#

Its in EA

delicate rivet
raw steppe
#

division is just... strikers

lofty lintel
#

10% elites is fine

raw steppe
#

😛

#

at least for legendary

lofty lintel
#

If you cant change it

serene sage
#

i thought division is dead

lofty lintel
#

No

raw steppe
#

nah it's getting updates

#

the core gameplay is good

shut flax
#

I think it's barely alive, but alive nonetheless.

serene sage
#

really? good for them

delicate rivet
#

I mean to go along w the +10% Elite, what should i use

shut flax
#

Just got a PC port too.

lofty lintel
#

I still play div 2 to scratch the itch from time to tine

#

Time

raw steppe
#

and the endgame systems are amazing

#

i actually really like

#

the watch

lofty lintel
raw steppe
#

and proficiency

#

and gear optimization

#

fatshark could learn a few things

shut flax
#

Idk. I started playing Stalker: GAMMA to scratch that itch that the division tried to.

raw steppe
#

from division2 tbh

shut flax
#

True survival vs. percieved survival.

lofty lintel
#

Division 2 is actually really good i like shooting bullet sponges

serene sage
#

somehow, L4D2 is still king among the likes of Darktide, Payday 2, B4B, etc. how did they do it

#

i know the $2 price tag on sale helps

lofty lintel
#

Its satisfying seeing your build do big numbers on an enemy with a gazillion hp

raw steppe
#

good core gameplay

shut flax
#

Darktide still has some ways to go. I'd put Vermintide 2 up on that list.

serene sage
#

but like the sheer consistency of the playerbase

raw steppe
#

that's the main thing

serene sage
#

outside sales

serene sage
delicate rivet
raw steppe
#

it's the same reason darktide survived when a game like b4b didn't

dire olive
lofty lintel
#

I grew up with l4d2 so im biased when i say its the best

raw steppe
#

b4b actually got way more post-laucnh support

lofty lintel
#

But.. it might actually be the best

shut flax
#

Halo Infinite has a good core, but launched with horrid everything else.

raw steppe
#

than most other games

shut flax
#

But even that is still alive.

raw steppe
#

yep

lofty lintel
#

Eugh

shut flax
#

(and fun)

lofty lintel
#

Halo infinite

raw steppe
#

halo infinite is good now iirc?

lofty lintel
#

Its aight

raw steppe
#

Its different

tbh i think DT gameplay is a lot better than L4D2
but you can't say that out loud

Drgs gameplay is extremely fun

cause L4D2 can't be talked down upon

DRG is a different beast I'd say

DT systems are ass

Their perception of balancing is ass and the crafting system absolutely sucks ass

raw steppe

and their devs have 0 communication

and crafting sucks yes

DT will eventually get there, going by their track record.

Eventually.

raw steppe

but DT has the best gameplay on the market

in this genre

that's why I'm (still) playing DT

Imagine DT’s comestic bundles like DRG’s, one time bundle for all 4 class skins/weapon skins/trinkets

lofty lintel
#

Darktide has 4 big things they need to fix if they want to be king of the genre

Balancing
Communication with the players
Stop the stupid predatory microtransaction system
And rework almost completely the crafting system

#

Then itll be up there in MY list

raw steppe
#

tbh I think they've done a good job

#

in the past year

serene sage

I have played DT, B4B, RoR2, L4D2, KF2, DRG, etc.
DT is the best, followed closely by RoR2

they've fixed a lot of issues

Im fine w the crafting? 🙊

but the most glaring issues

have been resolved

RoR2 lets gooo

delicate rivet
serene sage
#

I have a soft spot for B4B, despite knowing the popular opnion that it sucks
I think B4B has its charm

dire olive
#

I feel like DRG just needs some more Overclocks and Weapons with interesting (but useable) gimmicks to un-stale the gameplay every now and then, and while I like the way they handled their "battle pass" I also kinda feel like they shot themselves in the foot having to grind out content for them

serene sage

I tune in to drg to do the weekly assignments and thats it

because the updates before that pass system were generally way more impactful

raw steppe

I love that game tho

They did an amazing job

raw steppe
#

and division2

lofty lintel
#

My only observation is that the seasonal updates have been lacking more and more

WWZ is a 7/10, div2 is a 7.5/10 for me; but they're very worth playing

and very fun

it was a fun game for a while tho

Remnant 2 was awesome

Absolutely. DS1 had fantastic level design, and Elden Ring was MASSIVE for what it had. Remnant 2 fills a niche that Dark Souls doesn't fill, in which it randomizes every person's playthrough.

If reloading is a big issue for you, you can also sacrifice unyielding for reload speed. You don't really need maniac, as you twoshot them anyway. This isn't optimal, but is does give you more uptime.

don’t want to have to spend a point on it though

#

not until they do something about ogryn highlight node

remote bone
shut flax
#

that would be a good replacement for VOC

#

a QOL pick vs. utility

#

the ogryn node could also be given the VOC treatment, in which it could increase the cooldown for +%rending or something. The skill ceiling of the ability is constant uptime, so that could also challenge that. Idk. Would be interesting to me at least.

raw steppe
#

lotta potential to break the game

shut flax
#

True. Maybe +teammate pen?

raw steppe
#

if it were me I would just give executioners +pen

#

while it's up

#

rather than tying it to talents and making it always up

shut flax
#

true

wary galleon
#

weee

shut flax
#

That's a good point. If they really wanted it to be controlled, they could add it to stealth for X seconds

raw steppe
#

I also think that the executioners "targeting X" talents

#

should also give like +15% damage against that type of enemy

#

idk lots of things to rework

#

in the tree

#

likewise with shredder grenades I think they're too good baseline

#

the bleed should be moved to a talent on the nade

#

so you get a +1 talent tax for it

shut flax
#

It far too expensive as it is currently. Do the marks from ES synergize with Focus Target*?

wary galleon
#

if i average the kills in a mission to be around 2500 then it would take me 12 missions just for that last bit.
but i might be wrong, and it needs to be my own kills? can anyone confirm?
