Yea that's my problem with orthus offensive. It's either I'm GOING to do Orthus Offensive or I could just hit quickplay for anything on the board

slow spade

No it does not

It also doesn't work for plasma gun

And the quickdraw revolver

yea plasma is hipfire only

#

I am told the twins mission is a good way to farm gold weapons... but i've yet to give it a try

slow spade
#

Technically yes

#

Because its the fastest

#

But needs teams that can actually handle them

umbral granite
#

Ah, i see... i do 90% of my games as quick-play and dont really have a lot of people i can reliably squad up with... (hence why all my operatives use an "all rounder" type of build)

tall torrent
#

it's a decent way to farm for blessings ig?

#

if u don't yet have a lot of blessings for a class

slow spade
#

Honestly not a bad idea imo

#

And you get dockets to buy guns with good stats

umbral granite
delicate estuary
#

you gamble dockets for a chance of good weapons

slow spade
#

:c

umbral granite
#

Brunt trying to sell me this, i presume the 69% on the first target stat is low and the weapon isn't all that good?

#

Hmm thought graiar had a higher fire rate

i cant fully remember

winter grove
wide pike
#

Oh

winter grove
#

But recon isn't good as I heard

near shore
#

its not, but this is a goof bulid

wide pike
#

So I might opt for live rounds

near shore
#

weapon specalist inc fire rate, celerity inc fire rate

winter grove
#

Like I really hoped at least heavy recon is good

wide pike
#

It’s okay

#

Is basically a beam weapon

near shore
#

i think as goofy as it would be, that they should double down on what it does

wide pike
#

The damage is poor but it barely moves

winter grove
#

Which lasgun isn't a beam weapon

wide pike
#

Beam as in constant laser stream

junior needle
wide pike
#

Like Zaria

winter grove
#

O

near shore
#

recon is only constant, other is semi or charge

wide pike
#

Or the beam staff from vermintide

but i raise you this

uwu fire rate dumb if you can just well....

Missing out tbh

simply because i enjoy my head shots

i love, accurate, high dmg one taps

thats based on ur ability to aim

the helbore

One is called headhunter rifle

#

And other two are part of op trio

near shore
#

Also don't like plasma

#

Dislike it's feel

winter grove
#

Also you do need to headshot with plasma

wide pike
#

Plasma is ass in its current state

#

Better off using krack or bolt gun

#

Might need to rework the thing

junior needle
wide pike
#

Turn it into an electric flamethrower

#

Or soemthing

junior needle
#

Helbore has the caveat of having the very poor pullout

#

Although you can build it for bayonet use

winter grove
junior needle
#

I know, although that did get a mechanical nerf recently

#

With the exclusion of melee blessings from your actual melee weapon affecting it

#

That apparently goofed some one shot breakpoints

junior needle
winter grove
#

Plasma is best but feels god awful to use

#

It's just not rewarding at all

junior needle
#

I prefer the "basically a cannon that fires explosive balls" version of plasma

#

Your reward is killing most things in 1-2 shots.

#

While going ammo neutral

#

Because you can one tap most things with light headshots on a proper setup

#

Multiple things actually, because it pens so well

slow spade
#

Plasma needs buff

#

Give it assail tracking pls thx

near shore
#

Bbbbbrrrrtttttt

umbral scaffold
#

Nah, give the Boltgun 2x Ammo and 5 more mag capacity.

sacred spindle
#

ready time on the bolter is glacial

umbral scaffold
sacred spindle
#

played a few plasma games, switched to a bolter build and just couldn't get the space to use it the way I would a plasma

#

the delay between thinking "I want to remove that" and blam feels about twice as long

#

right, wtf do I get hadron to do with this

slow spade
#

Replace Barrage

#

And replace unarmored imo unless you really hate snipers and dreg gunners

#

Probably flak but maniac is my go-to

#

Idk what blessings the auto has but anything is better than barrage

lyric dock
#

Replace Barrage for a different blessing, and Unarmored for Manic or Flak

#

Other than that. It's a decent rifle

slow spade
#

Indeed, one of the best stat spreads you could ask for

sacred spindle
#

yeah, pretty fortunate finding it in the shop and hadron not completely bricking it from grey

slow spade
#

The Emperor provides 💪

sacred spindle
#

I think maniac over flak. Only rank 3+ blessing I have unlocked is Fire Frenzy III so I may hold off on replacing barrage until I have something good in rank IV.

slow spade
#

Quite literally any blessing is better than barrage

lyric dock
#

^

slow spade
#

As most melee enemies ignore suppression

#

Also you can always flip flop between perks

#

So if shotgunners are pissing you off, boom flak damage

lyric dock
#

Any thing you do change by Hadron can be changed a unlimited number of times

slow spade
#

It does cost up to 150 plasteel each time so watch your wallet

sacred spindle
#

oh cool, I assumed the 2 changes max was a set in stone sort of deal

lyric dock
#

But it's not like you're gonna be changing after every mission I hope

sacred spindle
#

the more you know

slow spade
#

A perfect run for plasteel maxes at around 880 plasteel 😔

sacred spindle
#

I'm already feeling the plasteel pain for sure

slow spade
#

It flip flops from docket pain to plasteel pain 😎

lyric dock
#

Plasteel hell just sucks when you want to build your collection of weapons

#

Docket hell sucks as well if Brunt decides to give you the best sub 350 weapons he has

sacred spindle
#

I don't play brunt roulette, seems like a big mistake

lyric dock
#

I only play if I really want a weapon, but the shop never has it in rotation

sacred spindle
#

my own abilities are the limiting factor regardless of whether my weapon is +/- 2% efficient

lyric dock
#

Which is 8/10 times when I need a certain staff as Psyker pain

slow spade
sacred spindle
#

nice 😎

slow spade
#

Some weapons are VERY high cost to get their best performance

#

Like the Rashad and Revolver

lyric dock
#

Yeah

A nice chunk to the wallet

slow spade
#

For context, 800k is about 20 hours of normal damnation runs 😎

lyric dock
#

These are some of my personal weapons. I spent a little too much on getting as close to perfect as possible

slow spade
#

You should replace the crit damage as it actually provides little damage due to how crits work

#

Though revolver does have a high crit multiplier 🤔

formal crescent
#

Nice

junior needle
# lyric dock What would you recommend?

Weakspot damage works in the same scuffed way as crit damage, just fyi. Flat damage perks are generally much better with very few exceptions. You could take flak (if it gets you headshot or even bodyshot breakpoints) or carapace.

slow spade
#

But unyielding can help vs bosses

junior needle
#

I wouldn't take out the revolver for boss damage, personally

slow spade
#

True but juicy headshots 😩

lyric dock
#

I'll take weakspot since I tend to aim for headshots when I use the revolver

junior needle
#

NO

#

What'd I just say

slow spade
#

Weak spots is the same issue lol

wise fossil
lyric dock
#

Didn't use the material yet

slow spade
#

Crit and weak spot is based off a different damage stat

#

So its not the funny "500 base damage" the revolver has

lyric dock
#

I'll take Flak for now since it'll cover most common enemy types

junior needle
#

To be specific, they only apply to the bonus damage of a crit or weakspot hit. So if you hit for 100, and crit for 110, you will get 1 extra damage from a 10% weakspot perk.

lyric dock
#

Noted.

How can you 1 shot ragers?

Or do you mean scab ragers

slow spade
junior needle
#

Oh wrong quote

slow spade
timid otter
junior needle
#

You can alleviate the stat requirements with the melee nodes yes but

#

THE most important breakpoints for rashad are bruisers on lights

#

Because if you don't one shot them, your cleave stops

The real problem is that psyker is just squishy and bad at closing distances to begin with

Doinking elites with it is icing on the cake largely

No more crab shuffling across long bridges

#

I love me plasma

#

Great when your Ogryns and Zealots dog pile on the Heretic you want to kill

slow spade
#

I find it funny for bosses too as it actually does pretty good damage

lyric dock
#

As much as I love the Plasma. I find more enjoyable with the MK2 Hellsbore

slow spade
#

I've used plasma since the patch 13 change

#

As a previous mk12 enjoyer, it fills the soul to kill every named enemy on the map

lyric dock
#

I swapped between the MK 12 lasgun, the Revolver, Plasma as my mains before I decided to give the MK 2 Hellsbore a shot since I got a good one

timid otter
#

I prefer playing with a variety of weapons on veteran.

#

Gets tiresome to do plasma every game.

lyric dock
#

Nothing feels better than stabbing that god damn pox walker that comes up to your booty while you do Vet things and then quickly go back to shooting things

timid otter
#

Need to anyways test things, evaluate their power.

slow spade
slow spade
#

Does that count?

junior needle
#

Players bad

#

That's why

slow spade
#

Surprisingly I found the ogryn harder than Vet

slow spade
junior needle
#

Stealth knife zealot is actually quite strong

slow spade
#

Yeah a shame I didn't have good weapons to really test it

#

Zealot knife without the rending blessing would be a bit rough lol

timid otter
#

I dont think bad players anyways has much to do with classes.

slow spade
#

And it only solidified my hate

lyric dock
winter grove
slow spade
#

Unironically I think learning how the other 3 classes work just made me more hateful

junior needle
slow spade
#

"They could be so much better than what they are now..."

lyric dock
#

I seen more decent Knife zealots than the kind that make you spend most of the match 3 manning it

wanton dawn
#

I mostly play bolter these days

#

I have the most fun with it by far

junior needle
#

In fairness I still get trapped alone sometimes playing zealot but it's almost always because of hitbox shenanigans or silent trapper that only plays sounds right as it fires.

#

And I'm alone because I comb the map for resources

slow spade
#

Silent trappers or multiple trappers for me

wanton dawn
#

Killing all elite and special while having the worst trashkill count makes my tummy feel weird whatthefuck_heresy

junior needle
lyric dock
junior needle
#

I dodge the first one and kill it with my throwing knife only to see there's another behind it

lyric dock
junior needle
#

Literally happened to me in the past few days

slow spade
#

I've bern farming normal damnations to avoid that

#

But I'm going to need dockets one day...

lyric dock
#

Nothing like killing 1 trapper to see your kill feed "You killed Scrab Trapper x3"

winter grove
#

See trapper

#

Dodge it and then headshot with lasgun

winter grove
#

There's two trappers

wanton dawn
winter grove
#

There's nothing that checks your dodging skills more like snipers in poxwalker horde

lyric dock
junior needle
#

Then there's the exceptionally unlucky circumstances of going to deal with the shooter backline only to get ambushed in a corner by 3 flamers, 2 dogs and a trapper while your stealth is on cd.

#

I was near my team for that one but they were all getting got that game

#

But someone had to deal with it

slow spade
#

I almost got downed once because 3 flamers 2 bombers + hab dreyko final event lol

#

"Hmmm yes what if the veteran couldn't see the trapper from all the fire"

winter grove
#

Bombers and flamers do the job better than smoke grenades wish they did

lyric dock
#

The only damn reason why I haven't turned off Health bars on Elites and Special yets. Just in case you get 3 bombers bombing your area

winter grove
lyric dock
#

Please go bomb your teammates

winter grove
#

I once tried meleeing the bomber as psyker

#

It worked but that bitch had martydom perk from COD

#

Couldn't run out due to fire stun

lyric dock
#

The good old days where fire just kills you nearly instantly with bugged fire damage

brisk sapphire
#

I liked the added challenge

#

Flamers and bombers were quite scary

lyric dock
#

I kinda enjoy the old bugged fire.....Until I get revived and instantly got cooked by it

#

Only reason I considered running a +wound curio for a time period

winter grove
#

Also I might be stupid

#

How does weapon specialist work

wanton dawn
#

It is mostly strong because of the improved melee

winter grove
#

So it's just like that talent for 25% more power(?) for melee/ranged

brisk sapphire
#

Best part bout it is it reloading your revolver or plasma with the sub talent

#

The increased fire rate is fun too

wanton dawn
winter grove
#

Does it work on bayonets?

#

Like with helbore

wanton dawn
#

Ah, not the switch one

#

just the 25% one

winter grove
#

Ah

wanton dawn
#

It is bad with bayo do not take it

winter grove
#

What melee should I even have with helbore

lyric dock
#

Helbore is your melee

#

Unless you're using the MK 3

wanton dawn
#

With hellbore you need an anti-carapace melee weapon

winter grove
#

So it doesn't matter

slow spade
#

Psword is what I'd take so you can kill carapace

winter grove
wanton dawn
lyric dock
#

MK 1 and MK 2 have a fast Bayonet stab which is really good at dealing most threats

#

MK 3 has a slow overhead slash

winter grove
#

What helbore should I pick generally?

#

Mk1 or 2?

lyric dock
#

MK2 it is the fastest charge of the bunch

wanton dawn
#

1 or 2, 3 is more specialized with a bad bayonet

lyric dock
#

mk 1 is a nice jack of all trades

winter grove
agile forge
#

2 is just a better MGXII with bad swap speed

winter grove
lyric dock
#

I was gonna recommend that mod Along with weapon customization so you give it a proper sight

winter grove
#

I do have weapon customization

agile forge
#

Bad sight is part of the balance imo

#

But you do you with it

#

Accessibility is a thing

junior needle
winter grove
#

Plus there's plasmagun

#

It doesn't have dogshit sights

inland orchid
#

Plasma has a sight?

#

Never knew considering i can’t aim down with the damn thing KEKW_ogryn

winter grove
#

I mean

slow spade
#

Plasma gun needs a 24x zoom scope

winter grove
#

It doesn't have dogshit sights

#

That's true

#

But neither it has good sight

#

But it's still accurate

slow spade
#

Brb another plasma buff cooking right up

Kantrael sight was kinda weird to use

Outside of kantrael lasgun

wanton dawn
#

kantrael sight is not the issue, the weird recoil is

lyric dock
#

I use the Kantrael sights

lyric dock
#

Holy wounds Batman

#

I like the Kantreal sight a lot

wanton dawn
winter grove
#

Which is just stand behind and click heads

lyric dock
#

And get your butt spanked by whatever melee fodder spawns behind you

winter grove
#

Chainsword my beloved

lyric dock
#

Just stab your hellsbore and move on

#

And save yourself the deploy time

winter grove
#

I took the helbore just to take the sights screenshot

lyric dock
#

Ah

#

Also you should replaced your wound curios you have with +Toughness or +Healths

winter grove
#

I gotta need to get good curios

lyric dock
#

On most of my Vet sets I run 1 +3 stamina and 2 +Toughness curios

winter grove
#

I also probably need to make tweaks for my kantrael build

#

And make an actual helbore build

junior needle
#

Strongly recommend voc over exe currently, even if your goal is just to ping stuff from behind your team

lyric dock
#

VOC is always a great support tool, "Get off me", and instant toughness to reset Iron will

winter grove
#

There's one thing I gotta hate about veteran

agile forge
#

Honestly I like E Stance a lot

winter grove
#

The only free gas mask helmet is locked behind the grindy penance

winter grove
lyric dock
#

I use E-stance is nice I use on my Plasma gun build

agile forge
#

I did the parrot "get that shit outta my face" meme with it

#

It works great in my CIAG Marksman's Focus build too

winter grove
#

For kantrael I really wanna keep E stance

agile forge
#

Feels like Gunker but much more consistent

winter grove
#

Everywhere else I am more than happy to use VOC

agile forge
#

It's just good to have variety anyway you know

#

It's not outright bad like say burst limit override

lyric dock
#

Or the other Vet auras, But then again. Survivalist is too just too good

winter grove
#

Nah I am always going survivalist

#

Free ammo is free ammo

#

Hunting grounds aka "Ammo farming grounds"

lyric dock
#

I always run Survivalist as well

#

Might as well never have the concept of picking up ammo with the Helsbore

agile forge
#

Auras don't change gameplay much anyway

umbral granite
#

Melk is tempting me with one of the last level 4 belssings i need for the D-claw...

agile forge
#

I will happily always take Survivalist there

#

I just mean the big gameplay altering shit

Does bayonet have high finesse

wanton dawn

Carapace zero damage

#

What the hell

wanton dawn
#

Yeah, you need a melee that can handle carapace if you play bayonet

frank basin
#

The mk 1 and 2 bayonet?

#

Some other guy said 3 bayonet slow and powerful hit

wanton dawn
frank basin
#

You always has to land headshot and not get hit constantly by chaos spawn

#

That going might be the issue to land headshot

wanton dawn

BoN is harder but doable. I have krak on this build anyway

#

I use mk1. don't think it matters for bayo

#

though it might matters for ranged bp.

winter grove
#

Yes, I wanna know if MK1 or 2 is better for ranged

#

I know mk3 is best for ranged but you know why it's not picked

junior needle
#

both 1 and 2 are good for ranged, depends on your preference for handling

#

Good thing about helbores is

#

Outside of bayonets, it's preference

wanton dawn
#

BoN is a very weird fight in psy KEKW_ogryn

junior needle
#

There isn't a big performance gap where one is just better than the others

winter grove
#

I'll keep the mk2 then

#

I also wanna know if Kantrael 1a is a good pick over 4 and 12

junior needle
#

1a is the best infantry las currently

#

It has the highest dps as well as best balance of one shot potential and usability

winter grove
#

Oh ye

#

I play on heresy mostly and it's easy as clicking heads with it for now

#

Might need a better one for damnation and auric

junior needle
#

Health totals don't change between damnation/auric damnation

#

Auric is just a board with constant special modifier missions

winter grove
#

I see

#

It pays more yes?

junior needle
#

In terms of dockets, yes

winter grove
#

Yes I might need a lot of dockets for weapons

junior needle
#

But not any more than the same mission on the regular mission board

winter grove
#

Plasteel though might be a probken

hollow ibex
#

Plasteel is always a problem KEKW_ogryn

what perks/blessings do you guys look for in knives?

#

flak mercy killer ok?

umbral granite
#

final consecration... at least i get a tier 4 blessing out of the blade...

#

Also i am once again low on plasteel...

#

And have way too much diamantine

winter grove
#

Imagine if we could sell weapons to hadron for plasteel

umbral granite
#

Better idea, Convert materials to other materials

winter grove
#

We had that in VT2 why not here

idle swallow
agile forge
#

Use Diamantine to shift modifiers around

#

Like a FFXIV relic

Breaking locks with a big diamantine cost would be amazing but we can't have a feature that reduces RNG, think of all that lost "playtime" from people who would actually not be frustrated

Limbsplitter & Brutal Momentum were incorrectly applied for bayonet’s melee attacks, allowing it to have +60% power (permanently because the limbsplitter stack isn’t consumed until you hit something with your actual melee weapon) and all weakspot hits can cleave 4 targets

or, rather, very unviable

a good soldier should be a master of a thousand weapons
and should master those weapons a thousand times

wide pike
fickle wraith
#

that doesnt answer my inquiry

#

ok

wide pike
#

get guud with all of them but if you want lazgun

#

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

brisk sapphire
#

Laspistol still good

fickle wraith
#

laspistol is gaming?

wide pike
#

not the recon ones

wide pike
#

if you can hit heads its a 9

fickle wraith
#

i mostly need talent builds i think

#

im goofin around too much

#

right now im playin at 3-4 levels cuz im with my friend and hes level 15 just picked up the game recently

#

so im just havin fun

#

but still want solid builds etc for when we do auric and damnation etc

wide pike
#

solid build

#

=

fickle wraith
#

#

optimal

#

#

uh maybe not

#

uh

fickle wraith
#

survivalist still go to?

wide pike
#

not recon lasgun

tiny summit

iLas viable, helbore viable, laspistols viable. Just the weakest are recons. At the lower difficulties yea I guess you won't drag anything with recons

wide pike

ty for heads up

Nice on getting PC 4

#

If only Mobility and CLeave targets stats swapped

#

That would be a good PS off the bat

white minnow
#

cleave targets doesn't matter on the pswords as long as it isn't outstandingly low

#

10.9 cleave at 60% cleave targets and 11.7 cleave at 80% cleave targets

#

a non-issue as long you are still above the threshold for cleaving two scab ragers/maulers (10 hitmass)

lyric dock
#

Okay. Noted

midnight totem
#

fuck

#

8 run sttreak of not going down ended

lyric dock
#

Trying to get that do 15 runs in a row without going down one?

midnight totem
#

yeah

lyric dock
#

Best advice to play extra careful and do it on Malice

midnight totem
#

Not going down to Malice for that

#

no point in doing it on Malice

lyric dock
#

Makes it much more painless

can I get Columnus help? I've been using the other infantries for a while and decided to finally craft one. Advice for perks or blessings?

frank ether
#

buy columnus

#

???

#

profit

midnight totem
#

flak manic, onslaught, ammo aura, deathspitter, profit

frank ether
#

Its not like you get to choose what you get

robust holly
#

you basically do???

frank ether
#

you'll get what brunt/hadron thinks you deserve so get some rolls and then I can help give advice with your rolls

sacred spindle
#

where are the headhunters these days?

#

good, bad, or ugly?

frank ether
#

they're ok

#

perfectly mediocre I'd say

robust holly
#

can I dm it to you?

frank ether
#

you can just list the perk/blessings you got

hollow ibex
robust holly
#

maniac/flak
punishing salvo/stripped down

frank ether
#

generally speaking though even a gray columnus is going to work great if modifiers are high enough

#

maniac flak is perfect

lyric dock
robust holly
#

feeling pretty lucky with maniac flak yeah, they t3 but i take those

frank ether
#

punishing salvo I'd probably change to dumdum or deathspitter

robust holly
#

really? I wasnt sure how valuable stipped down was

frank ether
#

well stripped down is something down to your playstyle

#

it is pretty strong if you play into it

lyric dock
#

Stripped down has some funny niche things it can do

frank ether
#

you need a synergy talent to enable its full potential though

robust holly
#

i only have deathsplitter 1 so i can grind some more down for it, or I could just slap on sustained fire IV now

frank ether
#

What level are you right now

robust holly
#

or is 20% damage for 2 shots/ burst not worth? seems reasonable to me on paper but idk the damage vs power math

#

30

frank ether
#

ok good

junior needle
#

Also dumdum is much, much more constent value than ds

frank ether
#

for now just change punishing to a better damage blessing

#

like dumdum which is great

junior needle
#

dumdum is BIS

frank ether
#

you don't have to immediately change the other one

junior needle
#

It's like pinning fire in uptime

frank ether
#

stripped down has its uses

junior needle
#

Actually better

frank ether
#

but if you don't want to play into it then you can do dumdum/deathspitter or dumdum/fire frenzy

#

or even dumdum/raking fire if you play infiltrate

#

which will give you some funny boss dps

junior needle
#

Raking is a bit meme

frank basin
#

Zealot shroud dumdum raking fire

frank ether
#

boss faces someone else and now you got %40 damage buff

frank basin
#

Is that work on BoN weakspot?

frank ether
#

it should

robust holly
#

went dumdum stripped we'll see how I like itm I'll keep deathsplitter and fire frenzy in mind but I don't love on kill damage effects

#

thanks y'all ❤️

frank ether
#

have fun

robust holly
#

no u

thank you hadron very cool

perks are rip but honestly, I could live with reload speed

#

Looks decent

sacred spindle
#

mag dump bolter best bolter

drowsy kayak
#

i mean not awful perks

#

yeah I was considering swapping surgical for iv shattering

frank ether
#

I think the choice here is do you want an ADS bolter or magdump bolter

lyric dock
#

Hadron gave it enough mercy to be useful

bitter turtle
#

casually walk past BoN while it vomit on teammate

#

spam melee into weakpoint

#

ded

drowsy kayak
#

considering my only good blessing is shattering I guess this is a mag dump bolter

frank basin
#

Then magic slug turn around toward you or tail slam

frank ether
bitter turtle
#

-90% aggro

#

it wont turn

#

it will do tail slam though

#

just gotta dodge backwards

tall torrent
sacred spindle
#

running a meme infiltrate build for the sole purpose of trolling the slug?

frank basin

Trying get close to the weakspot since your arm are short out of reach the hit

#

Document stuff to show

#

That are still WIP

junior needle
#

Bosses are the easiest use case

#

and bulwarks

bitter turtle
#

i think its not so much of a meme just because the 2nd talent doesnt really matter a whole lot on ciag

#

deathspitter/fire frenzy are alright but you're not really gonna miss it that much

#

stripped down is decent utility but it really only changes the fact that you cant sprint directly into facing gunfire now

#

which isnt

#

as useful as you'd think when you can just angle your camera and sprint diagonally if you really need to and still dodge gunfire

slow spade
#

speedloader so I can use more ammo to deny my teammates 😎

frank ether
frank ether
#

bosses, crusher&mauler after overheads, bulwarks, trapper trying to run away after their attack

#

the gun has good mobility too

slow spade
#

rear shot enemies as I leave behind my allies Uwu

frank ether
#

I mean what alternative do you have as second blessing

modest elk
#

why fatshark whhy

frank ether
#

fire frenzy / deathspitter

#

on something like laspistol you get what... infernus?

junior needle
#

If they weren't before, they do when I start shooting

frank ether
#

oh yeah I forgot to my list, muties running past you

#

boss shield if you really wanna magdump it for whatever reason

#

I did use that strat on twins hm

#

this discussion

#

whenever it comes up

#

makes me baffle because the discussion is always the same

#

Correct the enemies have natural tendency to face the player, there are 4 players in a lobby

#

Especially with how fast ciag melts things that are already facing you because funny finesse gun

junior needle
#

Such is the nature of things when there is nothing new to discuss

#

The same discussions are repeated over and over

frank ether
#

Just last week director threw like 20 ragers in between a horde at my gunker and they didn't even reach me

junior needle
#

Of course the ciag can make anything work given how overtuned it is

frank ether
#

part of it is gunker being busted I realize that

junior needle
#

I ran a gray one in auric 5's on my zealot

bitter turtle
#

well i think it still goes back to, the alternatives are mediocre

frank ether
#

but when the baseline gun is so good you can worry about nice to haves

bitter turtle
#

deathspitter is probably the best one of them in general use

#

but i can see raking if you wanted to up the dmg on bosses

junior needle
#

Still felt great, got the highest elite/special kills in multiple games. Didn't even take anoint in blood at that point.

bitter turtle
#

and ngl i actually think stripped down is very meh but that's just me

#

bc of what i mentioned

frank ether
#

when you think about it its a game about handling pressure and doing things in a timely manner

tired hornet
#

I’ve always liked raking fire tbh. It might not be optimal compared to most blessings but it’s sometimes fun to use

frank ether
#

actually suprising amount of opportunities for shooting things in the back

tired hornet
#

Especially if you get a beast of Nurgle.

frank ether
#

its a win more blessing is what it is

#

I did use the raking/dumdum ciag for twins hm where rinda's shields are weak to gunfire for example

#

I'm able to break both shields by myself since I can just melee rodin and then pull my gun out and shoot rinda while she's chasing someone else

#

many such cases

#

hmm now I wanna give it a spin I haven't touched ciag in forever

#

do the smoke infiltrate meme maybe now that its buffed

tired hornet
#

I’m trying to think of how often I shoot things in the back… honestly it depends heavily. There are times you can position yourself to where a swarm shows their backs

#

I thought between 25-50% but now I’m not sure.

#

If a swarm is running up stairs you usually can jump to the bottom and shoot at the enemies running up the steps

frank ether
#

I don't go out of my way

#

anything worth shooting in the back you already have to shoot in the back

mans losing it after his discord got nuked

tall torrent
shadow dagger
#

wait did tanner nuke his own server again

#

I remember he did it when he went scorched earth on his own warframe content a year or so ago

junior needle
#

I need a rundown on this, sounds funny

shadow dagger
#

basically what I said

junior needle
#

Well yeah but

#

more details

shadow dagger
#

he basically brought That Same Energy™️ into a pve exclusive game full of decade-old vets

#

and the tipping point was when he accused a slightly larger content creator of stealing builds

potent iris
#

most normal youtuber

shadow dagger
#

which isn't nearly as big as you'd expect because there's like 10 mod slots and like 15 meta mods for that specific type of build

#

and to be fair he actually did have some ground to stand on, since some warframe content creators (including this specific one) were known for copying builds

timid otter
#

Hes certainly a funny man.

raw steppe
#

who is tanner

shadow dagger
#

but when the other guy started making himself the victim and bluffing about getting authorities involved for harassment, he made a half apology, backed off, and privated his server after about a week

junior needle
#

youtuber with often funny takes and what might be considered a very conceited attitude

shadow dagger
#

idek if he purged the server or if he just privated it but yeah

bitter turtle
#

ngl

#

every isngle person who has cited his videos

#

are always either toxic or extremely misinformed

#

or both

#

tells you all you need to know about his fanbase

raw steppe
#

has he been in this discord before

bitter turtle
#

yes

raw steppe
#

ah i think i've seen him

#

be toxic

bitter turtle
#

he was bragging about his parses in other games

#

told ppl to "look it up"

#

i looked it up

junior needle
raw steppe
#

what's a parse

bitter turtle
#

then he blocked me bc he grey parses in ffxiv

#

as in sub 20 percentile

raw steppe
#

not gonna lie

#

i think the culture of addons and parsing

#

actively makes MMOs worse lol

#

it breeds a fuckton of toxicity

languid estuary
#

nah

junior needle
#

after some sleuthing it turns out it does

raw steppe
#

is he gone now

#

lololol

junior needle
#

yes

bitter turtle
languid estuary
#

i've raided in 14 since arr and the most toxic people in the game are always casual midcore players and the lifestyle guild members that base their entire self worth off of how many people in their free company like them

bitter turtle
#

i dont know why ppl brag when they are literally trash ngl

#

i dont want to be mean but he was acting like an ass

#

and then bragging

junior needle
#

Here it was

languid estuary
#

tanner literally bragged about calling people slurs and being mean to them in his server then started having a mental breakdown when complete strangers started calling him an asshole

raw steppe
junior needle
#

The conversation continued because our testing methods were a bit flawed but I successfully deboonked in the end

raw steppe
#

i miss the old days

bitter turtle
#

its either themepark simulator like wow

#

or korean rng nightmare

raw steppe
#

ye

languid estuary
#

at one point i tried to tell him that this was all going to be bad for his mental and he said i was way more toxic than he was for implying people had good reasons for calling him a torque

raw steppe
#

i heard osrs is good

#

but all the other ones

#

are either like

#

themepark bullshit like wow

bitter turtle
#

one person put it nicely tbh

raw steppe
#

or korean shit like lost ark or maple

bitter turtle
#

she used to like mmos but dont play anymore

#

said

#

"it feels like the rest of the gaming industry moved on but mmos stood still for 15 years and we're still playing the exact same shit"

#

something like that

raw steppe
#

all their games are complete ass

#

but somehow people still play 'em lmao

languid estuary
#

xiv is good but you kind of have to take it as-is and just accept the fact that if you want to raid you're going to have to run your own group so you can curate your experience

languid estuary
#

or just do partyfinder

bitter turtle
#

but the job design past shadowbringers turned me off

#

i called it quits after i finished EW

#

truthfully the game falls into the same problem above, MMOs seem extremely risk averse to doing anything novel

bitter turtle
#

XIV is really polished but

raw steppe
#

imo the problem for me is that raiding requires so many people lmao

bitter turtle
#

raiding in xiv is easy to do

#

only 8 ppl parties

raw steppe
#

i just dont like to deal with that many ppl

languid estuary
#

yeah raiding in ff14 is easy if you have like 2-6 braincells

#

it's easier than it's ever been

raw steppe
#

more ppl = more shit to deal with = more drama

bitter turtle
#

ive pugged every raid from the start minus bahamut/alexander first/second since pugging wasnt a thing back then

#

they're designed to be easy enough to clear even with pugs w/o voice

languid estuary
#

they homogenized everything and made it so every class basically operates off of the same framework

bitter turtle
#

even the super hard ones are puggable now

timid otter
languid estuary
#

you can literally pug ultimates now

bitter turtle
#

ya

timid otter
#

Admitely i think the company however is making alot of missteps

#

Diablo 4 was not at all fun to play beyond level 60.

languid estuary

D4 might be good in a few years

frank ether
raw steppe
#

competition in the space is becoming fierce

#

lots of devs making better and better arpgs

#

this isnt 2012

#

when the only competition was torchlight

frank ether
#

blizzard games are

bitter turtle
#

ngl

frank ether
#

consoomer games

bitter turtle
#

since someone mentioned sc2

#

i didnt play it much

#

but sc2 was really boring to watch at least

#

compared to 1

frank ether
#

only the sort of people who can afford to shill 60$ for some slop every month tend to play those

#

and then there is wow which is like

#

life replacement

#

with a sub

languid estuary
bitter turtle
#

I cared 😔

raw steppe
#

well i dont really care

bitter turtle
#

but i wasnt much of a blizzard fan anyway

raw steppe
#

about them lmao

#

to be fair

bitter turtle
#

so it didnt really uh

frank ether
#

I guess to a degree it was inevitable MMOs would die out

bitter turtle
#

change anything for me

timid otter
#

Sc2 is hardly even a game by this point but a platform.

bitter turtle
#

i think i only ever cared about sc1 as far as their products go

frank ether
#

when you think about it all the wow clones and also wow itself designed like life replacements lmao

raw steppe
#

for MMOs

#

remember when lost ark came out

#

and it hit 800k players

frank ether
#

there are good mmos that you can play without dedicating your life into

raw steppe
#

and then ppl realized it was a korean shithole

languid estuary
#

no

raw steppe
#

it's just that nobody is making good MMOs

timid otter
#

The competeive RTS component is only a small sliver of what starcrafs 2 playerbase in the current day is.

frank ether
#

mainly avoid gear/power treadmill and you can enjoy your time in an mmo

bitter turtle
#

fair

#

when i did play it a little

timid otter
#

Theres more people doing casual coop then actual versus.

bitter turtle
#

i just did the same as i did in BW

#

UMS maps

languid estuary
#

the problem with lost ark is that the changes that they made to the kr version to make it approachable for new players weren't applied to the na version of the game

#

i played kr lost ark for a long time before it came to na and you could literally start a new account and be raiding within like a week on kr

frank ether
raw steppe
#

yeah but not really lmao

languid estuary
#

but they chose to drip-feed content like it was a brand new game and keep the progression painfully slow

raw steppe
#

people gatekeep like mad

frank ether
#

there was a time when I was following that circle

raw steppe
#

in both lost ark NA and lost ark KR

frank ether
#

its just a bunch of doomers who won't accept anything new but will bitch about lack of new mmos

#

they just want constant stream of games to fomo

bitter turtle
#

MMOs have kinda split into different forms anyway in the first place

languid estuary
#

na lost ark was very gatekeep-y at the beginning

bitter turtle
#

all labelled under the same general umbrella

raw steppe
#

didnt you ever see the documentary of the korean girl streamer starting lost ark as a new player

languid estuary
#

as someone who was an officer in one of the guilds clearing raids first week

raw steppe
#

and she spent 3 hours

#

trying to get into a group

languid estuary
#

on one of the biggest na servers

raw steppe
#

and failed

bitter turtle
#

but i think a lot of arcade beatemup-y "MMOs" that korean games tend to look like don't actually resemble anything like something like WoW or whatever

frank ether
#

but yes mmo is a more generic umbrella

bitter turtle
#

well they're marketted that way regardless

languid estuary
#

lost ark was also a problem because

#

a lot of what you do in lost ark has nothing to do w playing the game

#

you're doing bitchquests and playing minigames

#

for horizontal progression

#

not actually doing dungeons or anything

bitter turtle
#

like idk i dont consider pso2 the same kind of game as wow or xiv for example

#

but you call both mmorpgs

raw steppe
#

at the core of it

#

lost ark just

#

wasn't fun, besides the two weeks a new raid comes out

#

the rest of the time is just boring and grindy homework

frank ether
#

speaking of xiv I hate how they make every other race like human with animal ears

raw steppe
#

you either grind or you pay money

bitter turtle
#

you can play furry lion race

languid estuary
#

a lot of the random miniquest stuff in lost ark is kinda fun but the fact that it's like a daily management game really turned me off

frank ether
#

but I can't fully blame them because mmorpg players have no taste, looking at gw2 where like %90 of playerbase are female human characters

languid estuary
#

like i already have enough of a hard time making sure i exercise every day i don't need to be getting my gains in on lost ark every day too

languid estuary
frank ether
#

no lmao

raw steppe
languid estuary
#

gw2 had a huge issue with people ERPing in public for years and obviously wound up bleeding into illegal activity involving minors

#

yes lol

raw steppe
#

is fucking dailies and weeklies dictating progression

#

i hate that shit

#

you can't play the game

#

when you want to

#

you have to follow the daily/weekly system to progress

#

it's why i think shit like darktide and stuff is so enjoyable

languid estuary
#

anet banned an entire guild of players from gw2 once because it turned into a cesspool for groomers and degenerates

raw steppe
#

because you can play when you want to

frank ether
#

lmao

raw steppe
#

rather than having to play when the game dictates you have to

#

if i wanna play dt or helldivers or last epoch or what not

#

i can do so

#

if i dont i dont have to

frank ether
#

''playing human female means you're a groomer'' what kind of logic jump is this dude

raw steppe
#

but with lost ark for example

#

my progression is fucked
