idk

coral willow
#

idk really

#

rungun reduces spread by 30% for all stances so for shotguns like DB it can also make it more coherent in shooting

#

...except i tried it and the rclick still seems to be horrible lol

#

idk why

bitter turtle
#

i dont think you can salvage rclick at long range

coral willow
#

no in cqc

bitter turtle
#

or even mediu, range

coral willow
#

like in like 2m range isntead of 0m

#

but uh

#

even that seems to be impossible

#

lol

bitter turtle
#

is there something inconsistent at 2m for you?

coral willow
#

somehow muties

#

kek

#

anoint in blood doesnt do enough damage it seems

bitter turtle
#

wow

#

you arent lying

#

i literally have 300 dmg variance at 2m

#

lol

last parcel
coral willow
#

this gun is widely fucked at times

bitter turtle
#

i think

#

its a quesiton

#

of how many pellets are hitting its tiny ass head

#

probably

coral willow
#

maybe

bitter turtle
#

cause this doesnt happen for mauler

#

but mauler also needs a full spread to hit

#

but it doesnt need weakpoint

#

unlike mutie

coral willow
#

rungun tries to slightly correct stuff but the base spread is horrendous so it kinda doesnt work

#

tried with maulers and even in like 2m range the pellets tend to miss sadly

bitter turtle
#

wait really

#

mauler 2m is super consistent for me

#

regardless

coral willow
#

it is?

bitter turtle
#

yea

coral willow
#

may have been my fluke then

#

do you need flak on it?

bitter turtle
#

yea you do

coral willow
#

welp fuck that might be it

bitter turtle
#

thats why I was considering why mutie was fucked but not mauler

#

cause both need the majority of pellets to hit but

#

mauler dont need a weakpoint

#

meanwhile i know for a fact shooting rclick into mutie back doesnt kill it

#

so the tiny ass head missing pellets is the cause of the variance i imagine

coral willow
#

very fun.

bitter turtle
#

heres 3x in a row

#

for mauler

#

i cant fit anymore in a 7 second window but i didnt fail to 1tap even once in like 10 tries

#

this is at 3m too

#

which ive found is the limit of reliability

coral willow
#

wee.

bitter turtle
#

wait

#

thats at 5m tho

coral willow
#

runngun feels like it kinda never helps

#

ill show the reticle difference

bitter turtle
#

for crouching and letting it tighten all the way it goes up to 4m reliable oneshots for me

#

not 5 though

coral willow
#

same range

#

no runngun on the right

#

you can see the spread decrease but i feel like its just way too much for it to be handled

bitter turtle
#

well

#

it looks different at least

#

yeah

#

lol

#

the reticule

coral willow

#

i like +unyielding on double barrel but bulwarks are so fucking annoying

#

especially if ur trying to use it on them after u stun them with saul

bitter turtle
#

It's au0er

last parcel
#

australia zero er

bitter turtle
#

half the time I shoot bulwark a third 9f the pellets go to their carapace parts

coral willow
#

so thats why i tried to get manstopper

#

cause with stelf you can shoot it twice

#

idk if itsgonna be good tho

old quail
#

it makes me so mad

coral willow
#

so how do i fix this

old quail
#

this clip took me 10 minutes to make

bitter turtle
#

Yeah the rng spasms are annoying as hell

old quail
#

because the bulwark will just

#

TURN

#

and parry ur shot

coral willow
#

what do i put it on?

#

infested to flak i guess/

bitter turtle
#

Flak is for maulers if you want to railgun them yea

coral willow
bitter turtle
#

Infested has the horde clear though so idk

coral willow
#

does that work on zealots

#

hm

bitter turtle
#

Not sure

#

I find bulwark 1 tap extremely unreliable to begin with

old quail
#

zealot gets the 20% infested/unyielding node right after anoint (which u definitely want for DB)

bitter turtle
#

Oh yea

#

You probably don't need infested then

coral willow
old quail
#

i run unyielding on double barrel because i like it with the shock maul and i will take the hitbox gambling over two fucking YEARS of hitting the guy

old quail
# coral willow

normally what i do is stagger and then aim center mass instead of just going for the head

coral willow
#

say your goodbye

last parcel
#

you know the rules

coral willow
#

railgunning is p hard

#

time to makea build out of it

#

also this doesnt have flak on still so that might be a problem

hearty panther

funnest shit with hacker is

heavy bonk > Light bonk > fire

100% useless but it flexes hard

Just looked it up and found out Tencent owns fatshark. Sorry guys, but this game is going to be a gambling game for its entire lifespan if that's the case. Western companies sold out h a r d

Idk if it's simping. Not sure how that works.

limpid turtle

It gives you an incentive to replay the game more.

I just wish the cash shop DIDNT FUCKING ROTATE AND HAD EVERYTHING FOR SALE AT ONCE.

knotty mauve
#

All of that stuff should just be unlockable in game.

limpid turtle

I'm ok with paid cosmetics. Just make them available all the time so that i can buy the fucking Krieg sets again.

skirmisher is pretty meme in general

The Veteran and the Ogryn sets are meh, i like the Zealot and the Psyker sets.

bitter turtle
#

im holding down sprint like the whoel game

knotty mauve
hearty panther
#

takes too long for the buff to reactivate when you start sprinting imo

bitter turtle
#

with run n gun

#

i want to believe in it

hearty panther
#

so it lacks flexibility, ironically

bitter turtle
#

but you're probably right lel

#

it should be

#

gain a stack

#

for sprinting

#

or every time you slide

#

that would make it goated

limpid turtle
junior needle
#

It's certainly manipulative and underhanded

hearty panther
#

yeah that too slides have no effect with it and sliding is like 90% of movetech

knotty mauve
#

Just give us the content and let us buy and play the game

bitter turtle
#

you can just buy and play the game

#

that is what i have done

#

for the first 500 hrs of playing

spice wadi
#

I have idd played vidyagam

#

nerd

bitter turtle
#

and then i spent

#

like 15 bucks after in the next 1k hours

knotty mauve

lmao

hearty panther

welcome to my shortlist

spice wadi
#

are you the latest cartoon character who exists to doompost

bitter turtle
#

this convo comes up every single time but u know tencent is hands off right

knotty mauve
#

All these companies are getting liquidated left and right. It's a bad time to be a bad developer.

bitter turtle
#

or is it just because they're chinese

#

:^)

knotty mauve
bitter turtle
#

being chinese is extreme 😔

knotty mauve

There is nothing wrong with being any type of ethnicity

logical fallacy detected. the drone is en route to your location

👀

#

What

hearty panther
#

god i wish i could be atomized

bitter turtle
#

honestly

#

im starting to think

#

i should just drop DA

#

and go lethal + run n gun

marble mantle
#

I’m not a big fan of lethal

old quail
#

it got me a 1 shot bp on ragers and 2 shots on reapers which is cool

spice wadi
#

I can tell I've lowered how much I play by not being able to interpret talent names any more

bitter turtle
#

DA isnt useless yeah

#

i just

#

idk

old quail
#

being able to turn off the wind tunnel enemy is cool

bitter turtle
#

its only relevant on rager for the most part no?

hearty panther
#

reapers do be reapin

limpid turtle
#

Darktide averages around 4-6k players daily on Steam alone, there is probably equally as much if not many players playing via Xbox.

bitter turtle
#

and crusher i guess if iw ant to spam shots on their head or something

spice wadi
#

I bjonk the crusher

#

with the taze stick

old quail
#

reapers will turn off ur movement if any miscalculation is made so being able to turn off their existence is p valuable to me

#

it is probably doing something for bulwarks on the 1/10th of my shots that make it above the shield

spice wadi
#

any 'miscalculation' he says

old quail
#

i must limit the amount of national geographic sounds made within the presence of others

spice wadi
#

the miscalculation is trying to constantly being able to have line of sight on mankar to be able to shoot bursters he is next to

bitter turtle
#

i can only 3 shot with 1 crit

#

reaper

#

idk if im doing something wrong

old quail
#

u have to get 2 crit hs which is where surgical comes in (otherwise its kinda pointless ig)

bitter turtle
#

ah

old quail
#

i should try point blank/deadshot/reciprocity

bitter turtle
#

even more reason to drop DA for me KEKW_ogryn

#

the qeustion is run n gun/puncture or run n gun/lethal 🤔

old quail
#

terrifying

bitter turtle
#

does terrifying even come on bistol

#

or do u mean my blessing choice is terrifying

old quail
#

the latter

bitter turtle
#

lul

old quail
#

it would be funny if it got ceaseless barrage

#

suppression per like 2.5% mag spent and damage vs suppressed targets

spice wadi
old quail
#

youd hit huge shooter arm breakpoints

bitter turtle

POV: fatshark developer coding an update to the game.

😎

marble mantle
#

I’m over it lol I just blocked him

#

Waste of attention

#

I work 2 jobs and pay my taxes I don’t need more cynicism in my life

bitter turtle
#

i honestly

#

dont thik nits that bad

#

even if it seems completely fucking troll

marble mantle
bitter turtle
#

at least DA/Run n Gun should be sane enough by most people standard

#

cus you can stilll force a crit off WS

marble mantle
#

You could run it on like an infiltrate speed build

spice wadi
#

it's less a specific guy is bad

marble mantle
#

Actual drive by

spice wadi
#

it's just that it's the long string of identical discord characters

#

who say the exact same thing

bitter turtle
#

yea im playing it with infil KEKW_ogryn

marble mantle
spice wadi
#

that I've just blocked them once I identify them

marble mantle
bitter turtle
#

but i play everything with infil if i can

marble mantle
bitter turtle
#

avoid voc unless i have to take it

spice wadi
#

do u also enjoy the night vision filter

marble mantle
spice wadi
#

I'm tryna avoid voc these days

#

cos it feels a little bit too crutchy

marble mantle
spice wadi
#

I have a braindead build with shout and plasma

#

which i play if i simply want to put a W on the board

#

but there's only so many times you can just play

#

point blue gun down corridor click click

marble mantle
#

Yeah I haven’t used the plasma much since it’s just so… easy

spice wadi
#

im not sure why the lmb doesnt explode

#

the overcharge doesnt really provide that much to ever be worth the risk of instadowning yourself

#

cos anything id overcharge (crushers) I tend to just bonk with my stick instead

#

cos the ammo usage is too much

bitter turtle
#

the overcharge sucks

#

if you mean chargeds hots

#

as for why

spice wadi
#

it's a lil weird

bitter turtle
#

poor balance

#

the overcharge does less dps than just spamming left click

spice wadi
#

I feel like they just rebalanced it around the regular click

#

and then forgot about the overcharge

bitter turtle
#

its bc

#

the gun has seen al ot of changes

spice wadi
#

cos it's like

bitter turtle
#

over time

#

like

#

a lot

#

it used to do hp damage to yourself lol

spice wadi
#

it's a big ammo cost, a risk of instadowning if you're under pressure

bitter turtle
#

so yea

spice wadi
#

ye ik I am also old

#

u may be more wrinkly

#

but i too

#

am ancient

bitter turtle
#

then yea im pretty sure its just a consequence of reworks and balance changes piling up into something that moreor less doesnt make too much sense design wise anymore

spice wadi
#

shut up josho

old quail
#

i remember when kant shotgun special went through bulwark shields and plasma didn't

#

fuck off u fkin lich

#

ill smash ur phylactery

spice wadi
#

i member when myeeh myeeh myeeh

old quail
spice wadi
#

but yeah idk

#

there's a few darktide weapons which are in weird places

#

I think the survivalist change was an ok nerf to how braindead plasma is

#

cos you used to be ammo efficient at a certain number of targets with the damn thing

old quail
#

the problem with the charge thing is its like "shot but more" and with how the left click is "more" is overkill like always

#

they have to make it "shot and does something else" to make it matter

spice wadi
#

im surprised they gave the small shot the megacleave

#

feel like that would've been a shoe in for the overcharge

old quail
#

i want them to dump the cara/unyielding adms on the left click and kill its cleave if they change nothing else at all so that at the very least u have to change ur fire mode depending on the target

junior needle
spice wadi
#

he said adms

#

take a shot

#

eventually the reddit will convince the swedish fish to have the revolver taken out back and shot by a boltgun

coral willow
#

one day boltgun gets 6.5 cleave and not zarona

#

and bistol AoE does significant damage

spice wadi
#

you fell for my bait

tame lodge
#

UnbalanceddietSerratedteethfish will make a huge balance in 6 months (copium)

spice wadi
#

they did an interview (again I think) about itemisation changes

#

which could change a lil bit of how various weapons are viewed

#

because I'm damned fucking sure some of the 'x is weak' takes are based on those weapons having dogass blessings in their pool

pastel yew
#

one day the boltgun will have better poxhound breakpoints than 2 headshots and 5 body shots PANIK right?

#

right?!

#

I am hyped for the itemization update though

spice wadi
#

im going to run you over with a wheely bin

buoyant ermine
#

🙂 ?

spice wadi
#

shut up josho

old quail
#

the poor infested adm is god's divine wrath on the "boltgun is my magdump into hordes tool" crowd

spice wadi
#

adm

#

take a shot

pastel yew
#

I know a lot of people aren't happy about more grind for weapon xp but honestly I quite like it

buoyant ermine
#

boltgun is my magdump into specials tool

#

im noob

old quail
#

poor gasoline on your feet and drop a lit match on it

spice wadi
#

why only my feet

pastel yew
spice wadi
#

do you know how fire works

coral willow
pastel yew
#

if the plasma gun can do it why can't the boltgun BelieverCry

old quail
#

i want the experience of burning to last as long as possible

pastel yew
spice wadi
#

I know a match is going to go great when I see a guy shoot a boltgun at a wandering solo poxwalker four times

pastel yew
#

because it'd just fuck with the gameplay loop with everyone falling over eachother to snipe specifics

coral willow
#

idk i hope its not stuff stupid

pastel yew
old quail
#

bolter being comically unable to kill hounds makes shooting one mid air and killing it a very fun thing to fail at doing

elder fiber
#

I'd rather have annoying gimmick penances that piss people off to perform but are at most mildly disrupting over "kill 10000 trash enemies with full stacks of w/e"

coral willow
#

bolter having weakness to infested is a cool design choice

#

i wonder if plasma has those

#

:teeth;

elder fiber
#

cool design choices?

#

well

spice wadi
#

change your veteran's name for the love of god

pastel yew
old quail
#

anyways the bolter needs better handling and should one shot every non ogryn enemy and have 0 arm multipliers and also it's a fully auto RPG that also needs to be like a shotgun

spice wadi
#

do not

#

?

pastel yew
#

default bolt shells aren't really armor pen weapons

spice wadi
#

me

elder fiber
#

?

spice wadi
#

if i see one more bolter lore argument i am going to salt and pepper myself and cook my ass on a low heat

pastel yew
#

boltgun should be great against unarmored to flak really

buoyant ermine
spice wadi
#

ok

#

here i go

buoyant ermine
#

couldnt pen carapace armor

spice wadi
#

hello frying pan

pastel yew
#

and in that game it has pen 4 which is enough to get through flak

spice wadi
#

explode

old quail
spice wadi
#

we are traumatised by reddit clips

pastel yew
spice wadi
#

'bolter is weak' (guy could not hit a barn while standing inside of it)

pastel yew
#

thats why they should be dope against unarmored

coral willow
#

why do you guys traumatized by reddit clips when a guy in front of you eats every ammo and misses every shot with plasma

pastel yew
#

you send a fucking bolt shell into a poxhounds grey matter and scramble their egg... only for them to walk it off like it was nothing

buoyant ermine
#

ima try out plasma now

#

do u guys like plasma

#

i am noob

pastel yew
#

plasma is hella fun

spice wadi
#

hello noob

coral willow
#

i dont cause its op

spice wadi
#

how are you

old quail
pastel yew
#

you need to sort your break points and it will be significantly better if you can aim

pastel yew
#

bastard heretics

coral willow
old quail
#

i am just sick of 99% of people's opinions on the bolter because they want a bunch of balance changes made based on "lore" which is just their weird misinterpretation of other people's exaggerations of the source material theyre talking about

#

without any regard beyond that to its existence in comparison to other guns in the game

coral willow
pastel yew
coral willow
#

too much fantasy about it

#

that said plasma being how it is rn doesnt help

spice wadi
#

altho

pastel yew
#

I'm fine with the bolter getting a buff against carapace though since anti armor ranged is limited for zealot

spice wadi
#

on dark heresy

#

if we are having a nerd off

coral willow
#

and the new flamer doesnt help either i assume.

spice wadi
#

a big nerdcat

pastel yew
spice wadi
#

dark heresy was written back when AP scaled from 6 to 1

#

but in CURRENT edition

coral willow
old quail
spice wadi
#

bolter has AP 0 and has no flak penetration

old quail
#

a problem is

pastel yew
old quail
#

the game has crit rending (adm boosts, technically, it's not actual rending and that makes it even stronger) but not weakspot

spice wadi
#

in currant table top

pastel yew
#

ah nah I don't play that shitty game Sol_grinch

#

I only play other slightly less shitty games

spice wadi
old quail
#

so u can't have guns that are specifically decent into carapace when u shoot the head

spice wadi
#

adm

#

take a shot

old quail
#

headhunters should probably be better at shooting crusher heads (not absurdly but enough to make it more viable without headhunter/deadly accurate)

pastel yew
#

why pay for shitty books from gw when I can pay for shitty books from ffg

coral willow
spice wadi
#

the headhunter has a wire stock on a marksman rifle

#

this is heresy and sin

pastel yew
spice wadi
#

i will never use

pastel yew
#

it makes me so sad

coral willow
#

fine as is but with crusher packs its not great

old quail
#

there's like 3 zealot melees that are explicitly bad into carapace

#

it doesn't need a great deal of ranged options for it

pastel yew
#

more than boltgun + revolver would be nice though

knotty mauve
#

Single player offline

old quail
#

the meltagun should exist

pastel yew
#

I quite like the devils claw on zealot, and don't want to rely on parries against crusher hordes

#

that's not consistent

coral willow
pastel yew
#

if I wanted to use revolver I'd play vet as it's significantly more fun on vet Shrug

coral willow
#

thats about it

#

parry is consistent but killtime isnt

old quail
pastel yew
#

also like heavy sword isn't great into carapace

#

and that's a zealot only weapon

spice wadi
pastel yew
#

special spam special spam special spam

#

engaging gameplay

old quail
#

um akshually it's special block cancel

coral willow
pastel yew
old quail
#

both are solvable on ur end and not the game

pastel yew
#

melee only maelstrom is so fun, one of the enjoyable ones

#

that and the boss rush maelstrom

old quail
#

it's also incredibly one-dimensional and gets boring really fast

#

i hate the implementation of maelstrom entirely

#

some of the modifiers need to be conditions you can get normally

#

and other ones need to be rethought

#

they also lied one time in the patch notes we were supposed to get dregs only + increased patrols as one of em

pastel yew
#

pox hounds condition should just die in general

coral willow
pastel yew
#

it's not challenging, it's not interesting

old quail
#

monstrous specials hishock would be p sick as a normal auric mode

pastel yew
#

for sure I'd love that

#

you also can't quickplay into auric

coral willow
#

you can

pastel yew
#

? you can?

coral willow
#

not maelstroms but normal auric QP exist

#

been doing that mostly cause normal damnation is now filled with idiots again

#

and auric is filled with less idiots

pastel yew
#

oh yeah, I mean specifically maelstrom my bad

#

slip of the tongue

coral willow
#

ah yeah no maelstrom QPs yet

#

sadly

pastel yew
#

I do think a lot of auric conditions need a look at

old quail
#

maelstrom feels like it's trying to be both "the even more ball-busting difficulty" and their port of vt2 twitch mode

pastel yew
#

pox gas needs to be adjusted, hounds needs to be gone... sniper gauntlet needs more snipers... double them... tripple them...

old quail
#

so u have both reasonable challenge increases and "here is 3 different types of waves of X special. have fun"

pastel yew
#

yeah that sums it up pretty neatly

coral willow
#

i like the hound one tbh

merry gale
#

they still need to give us the thing where elite splits into commons and specialists splits into elites ect ect

coral willow
#

their HP was well adjusted imho

pastel yew
#

the hound one is so poorly integrated like... it's just regular ez mode then you hear the howl and think "okay gang time to stand still and kill 5000000 hounds"

old quail
coral willow
old quail
#

they tried once to make "elite resistance" which just gave u spawns 2 difs below and doubled elite hp/stagger res/damage and it was like

#

holy shit this is so boring

coral willow
#

every minuite get ready to be assaulted by mutie trains

pastel yew
#

I actually find the mutie one more fun dawg

#

like its the same thing but a funnier gimmick

old quail
#

waves of snipers is less infuriatingly stupid than either of the disabler ones

pastel yew
#

I wouldnt be opposed to that getting yeeted too

old quail
#

dogs still stagger on their pounce wind-up which is maddening

pastel yew
#

at least that one is only in the maelstrom, whereas if you quickplay damnation you can end up in hound games

coral willow
#

i like the hound more cause they are quite easy to remove unlike the actual hounds which have 1400hp compared to 300

merry gale
#

best one is nurgle blessed enemies

pastel yew
#

nurgle blessed is aight

coral willow
#

mutie is 4000hp to 2000

#

which is halved

#

dogs are quartered essentially

#

and then poxbursters just spawn normally cause idk

old quail
#

my first ever maelstrom was pre-patch 13 where like half the classes didn't have good boss damage and we got a green cspawn

coral willow
#

probably it would be worse if they had lowered HP anyway

merry gale
#

the poxburster spam one can go die alone tho

old quail
#

that was a fun fight

pastel yew
#

patch 13 was class overhaul stuff right?

old quail
#

yeah

coral willow
#

whoever designed poxburster one should be come a daemonhost

old quail
#

p13/14 also had a shit ton of balance improvements

pastel yew
#

yeah I had dropped the game for a number of months and only came at that point

merry gale
#

wit randoms it's like a mind game of predicting if they'll shoot the burster conga when ur close to them or not

pastel yew
#

patch 13 onwards was good times

coral willow
#

shrodinger's burster

old quail
pastel yew
#

be the better person, shoot it first

#

see how they like getting blown up

old quail
pastel yew
#

one of my most infuriating auric games carrying a team and being stuck in a room because I Couldnt get all the like

coral willow
#

i hate cornerjumping bursters

pastel yew
#

nodes for the demon on my own

merry gale
#

stacked bursters it's actually better to shoot them instead of pushing

pastel yew
#

one of the team shoots a burster blowing me off of the map then all immediately lose

merry gale
#

but don't do it if there's a bloke nearby

old quail
#

i have 2800 hours in this game

old quail
#

it was only within the last like 3 months i learned you have to damage each eye on the pocket individually

#

to kill it

pastel yew
#

means you cant use a boltgun to bop em either

pastel yew

(i know i just complained about people talking about the bolter) the explosion should probably be able to destroy them in 1 hit

pastel yew
#

for sure

pastel yew
#

nope

coral willow
#

rumbler does

old quail
#

nay

coral willow
#

rumbler timed blast is really good to killing the eyes

#

can shoot at one and deal with other two

#

dont have to run around like a madman solo

old quail
#

ripper does it p consistently as well

coral willow
#

shotguns and autoguns are best at it usually ye

#

oohbaby a brick

pastel yew
#

pipe dream weapon

#

god I would love to have it though

forest maple
#

Damn, the Vld recon with an infernus build actually slaps?

#

did they buff it recently or something?

pastel yew
#

I think they made it slightly worse against armor

#

but upped its base damage by a fair amount

#

been using the mk2 recently and that thing is ridiculous

forest maple
#

what build? infernus?

#

flak/crit infernus/headhunter?

pastel yew
#

fucking punishing salvo instead

#

but it doesn't really matter its more than good enough

forest maple
#

i got this and it somehow rocks

pastel yew
#

or actually.... I don't think I have +flak I think it's +maniac I chose instead

#

to make flamers and ragers less awful

coral willow
#

p sure

#

maniac damage is higher than flak now

#

after the change

pastel yew
#

I'd have to have a check

#

I just know that I weant into the psyk and tried killing stuff and that specific one felt rough

coral willow
#

just press v

#

and E

#

in the item menu

quick burrow
#

What u guys think is the best melee to deal with crushers for vets

pastel yew
#

powersword mk6 or rashad are probably better

#

I might be tripping but I think theres some way of making the push attack on the mk6 one shot crushers...

#

it has silly modifiers

#

locks you in place as well though right? similar to chain axe?

drowsy wren
#

Any tips on how to get the Penance "Make every shot count" done?

buoyant ermine
#

ok yeah

#

plasma gun is really good

#

i prefer it over bolter now

tame lodge
midnight totem
#

Plasma gun is default, strongest ranged weapon in the game

mental cloud
#

Would the new DB be good for that? That’s what I’m running on my weapons specialist?

hearty panther
#

eh i kinda put columnus and zarona at the same level

#

but for different reasons

#

ye

#

plasma is flashy but boy its funny slow, actually

#

the followups on things that dont die in one tap are kinda far apart

#

god i hope theyre reworking plasma

#

i want venting to be consequential again

arctic rampart
#

So you start with 1.) plasma is worse than two other guns and then follow it up with 2.) nerf plasma

hearty panther
#

reworking isnt strictly nerfing

#

what it needs is lateral adjustments

arctic rampart
#

make plasma venting consequential sounds like a nerf

hearty panther
#

yea on its face

terse idol
hearty panther
#

also that

terse idol
#

Buff right click

hearty panther
#

there's no real purpose to the heat system

arctic rampart
#

they already nerfed left click by making it shoot twice half the time

hearty panther
#

right clicks are pointless and left click auto vents

#

so why even have it

#

make left click less a freebie, make venting matter, make right click a functional choice

#

right now it just pretends to be a revolver (except shittier)

arctic rampart
#

soo back to my point you think revolver and IAGs are better, but you want to nerf the worse gun

uncut pebble
#

Charging plasma should just straight up decapitate crushers with zero issues.

hearty panther
#

oh they all need nerfs, lmao

#

i would throw revolver in the fucking trash in a heartbeat

#

plasma just had actual potential for a unique identity but has none

arctic rampart
#

I'd rather go with the option make shittier guns better and leave the usable guns alone. But recon is kind of usable for a few weeks now, it is actually time to nerf them into the ground again IMO.

hearty panther
#

its one interesting feature is inconsequential and half of its abilities (right click) serves no purpose in gameplay

#

nah fuck that

#

nerf the top end

#

we have three broken guns to fix, its a much more manageable project

arctic rampart
#

nerf kickback, buff stubber but make it use even more ammo. add brutal momentum back onto hellbore stabs, but make the laser shot 5m range. psyker using guns will lose their mystic powers and become loner vets. these are the kind of balance changes they'll do.

uncut pebble
arctic rampart
#

I know recons are fine now, that's my point. how dare they make that gun usable and leave it for weeks again!

bitter turtle
#

there shouldnt be weapons that have perfect accuracy and also good matchups against all armor types

#

whats the point of other guns existing then

#

and if you buff them so they all do that

#

then whats the point of having different guns

faint beacon
#

Sometimes nerfing things is better because of well if it’s doing everything better yeah that’s fun but it offers no reason to change up your playstyle

#

It’s why I like weapons that give an up but also a down

uncut pebble
#

If they made the revolver deal less damage but improve its armor piercing capability, that would be great as a nerf.

bitter turtle
#

it already domes crushers in 2 shots with barely any dmg investments

#

how much more armor piercing does it need to be

faint beacon
#

Doesn’t the revolver have insane Finesse as well?

arctic rampart
#

half the "good" weapons have pointless worse variants. you're talking about up & down of the best of each but what about the black sheep / redheaded stepchild / etc. crappy variants ? like this talk about zerona but the fan revolver is a good example of poop variant. sure its fun but its bad

faint beacon
#

I know that’s probably the biggest way they can tone back the CIAG is tone it’s Finesse down

arctic rampart
#

the IAG are one of the few weapon types with usable variants

bitter turtle
#

this is whats twisted

#

by your standards

#

everything needs to be perfectly accurate armor piercing sniper rifles "or its bad"

#

agri is a perfectly fine gun

faint beacon
#

Headhunter Auto Guns… they exist and completely shut down specials in seconds

bitter turtle
#

it has high damage, armor piercing, but needs pinpoint shots because it has no cleave

#

it needs you to stan dstill to fire single shots or its extremely inaccurate which is a fair downside

#

that is fine

#

why should everything be perfectly accurate super high dmg 1 shot machines while on the move

#

with stupid amts of cleave so you dont even need to care about trash mobs

arctic rampart
#

1 of those is a meta killing machine, the other is not. when you see fan gun on your team you know you're going to need to use less ammo. but sure its fine lul

bitter turtle
#

yea its fine if you dont compare it to overtuned guns

#

do you think the other two iags need to be buffed too

faint beacon
#

CIAG, Zarona, there’s probably more im just not interested to look at the others

bitter turtle
#

do we also need to buff the recons so they can kill cara and have 100 cleave so it can be comparable to plasma

arctic rampart
#

Its w/e I don't care what my teammates use. They can be naked and I won't get upset. I however like using top guns thats whats fun to me.

faint beacon
#

Imo the GIAG is perfect same with the AAIG

bitter turtle
#

sure you can like using it

arctic rampart
#

recons can kill just fine now, provided you spec properly

bitter turtle
#

but the point is buffing everything "to their level" is not a healthy way to design

#

yes

#

recons are fine

#

taht is my point

#

that is a healthy place to be

#

they dont need to be guns with basically no weakness like the top 3 guns are

#

if everything is an armor piercing sniper rifle with 100 cleave that can 1 mag a boss

#

then are we just picking guns with the fancy particles we like

arctic rampart
#

your point is I want to argue that weak guns are fine, people that use top guns are twisted, and I want to argue with the guy saying "buff weak guns" for some reason

bitter turtle
#

i have no idea what you just said

terse idol
#

honestly zarona should have higher carapace damage and lower maniac/unyielding for AP rounds, fan revolver should be better against manaic/unyielding worse against cara

#

for HP rounds

faint beacon
#

Never really bothered using the Agri revolver, nearly 1k hours in should I honestly give it a spin

#

Like I think that’s the only gun I haven’t bothered using much other than the Plasma gun

hollow ibex
#

it's pretty fun

#

until you miss a sniper at 10m because of the bloom, and lose half your health

faint beacon
#

Misses
Eats shit and dies

#

Yeah seems about right lmao

bitter turtle
#

its a downside of the gun but if you dont need to hit a headshot it is accurate up to very long range

#

not accurate enough to tap heads consistently at like 30m+ but you dont need that for a sniper

hollow ibex
bitter turtle
#

a bodyshot is fine

faint beacon
#

I’ll probably throw together a gun a build when I’m home

#

What’s the “God Roll” optimal set up I should be looking for when I roll Agrevolvers

bitter turtle
#

i still run surg/handcannon but thats controversial

#

id try sustained fire/point blank/surgical + handcannon but those are just my preferences

#

if you want to do the boss magdump thing you can take trickshooter instead of handcannon i guess

#

i really dont like crucian but its also a possibility instead of those 3

faint beacon
#

I’d probably do the Bolter Exec for boss deleting

#

More so like the idea of just deleting hordes of specials

pastel yew
#

it lets you effectively partial reload while looking for targets or dodging

#

since the actual... tank? size is so large that you never have to reload it in combat

pastel yew
#

I do think the zarona needs to remain an anti armor tool, outside of weapons specialist its fine. it's the very upper limit of what I consider "strong but not overtuned"

#

similar to psykers voidstrike

hollow ibex
#

strong but not overtuned? it's one of strongest guns in the game KEKW_ogryn

terse idol
#

Its overtuned

pastel yew
#

that being it's reload / low shot count

#

strength should come at a weakness

#

personally I don't really think it's unhealthy levels of strong with those weaknesses

#

compared to like plasma gun or smite

#

which are just game ruining if you have more than one in your lobby

hollow ibex
#

the reason it's strong is that it just deletes everything. the reload time is annoying, but more of an inconvenience than a real issue.

pastel yew
#

look around

hollow ibex
#

smite might be annoying but isn't strong

pastel yew
#

everything deletes everything

#

just most things dont delete carapace

#

but they're better at deleting regular shitters

hollow ibex
#

i'd prob consider plasma a bit below zarona still

pastel yew
#

it's practically the same weapon with none of the drawbacks

#

+more ammo

#

+giga wall pen

#

if you hit your break points right you can just spam left click and one shot everything in the game

#

that's a truly anti everything weapon

#

the changes to close damage might reign it in a bit, I've not used it since the patch

faint beacon
#

Zarona is just vile with how it literally deletes every special with a headshot UNLESS it’s an Ogryn or maybe Mauler

pastel yew
#

smite is a strength magnifier, if you have high dps on your team they become unstoppable as theres no interruption to that damage

hollow ibex
#

huh?

faint beacon
#

Actually no Maulers still get Deleted

hollow ibex
#

smite is more of a crutch for bad teams

pastel yew
#

you can one shot any non boss creature with the zarona depending on build

hollow ibex
#

that can't kill fast enough

pastel yew
hollow ibex
#

no lol

pastel yew
#

because you remove all risk

faint beacon
#

Its existence is literally support I don’t get where you’re coming from saying it magnifies damage

pastel yew
#

means constant uptime on attacking

faint beacon
#

It’s literally just a lock on a Horde in front of the Psyker

pastel yew
#

no little poxwalker shitters

#

no threat

#

no damage

#

it's just a toxic ability

hollow ibex
#

good teams have no problems shredding enemies while avoiding damage at the same time

#

having 1/4th of your dps locked casting tickle magic is just bad

pastel yew
#

I'm not saying its difficult to avoid damage, I'm saying without smite you have to do it

faint beacon
#

Smite psyker on an already good team just makes it way more relaxed imo

pastel yew
#

idk I hate playing with smite psyker

#

I find it so unbelievably boring

faint beacon
#

Besides I’ve seen plenty of smite psykers get flanked

pastel yew
#

I only really play a few games at a time so if I join and one of them is psyker ez mode I'm usually not happy

pastel yew
faint beacon
#

I feel like Assail is easy mode imo with it’s insane toughness generation when thrown into hordes

#

If we’re going off that argument

pastel yew
#

assails toughness generation is definitely a bit intense

#

but the difference there is that it affects their experience

#

whereas stunlocking enemies affects everyone

#

it's like release assail deleting everything

terse idol
#

If the smite psyker knows when to use it

faint beacon
#

I still don’t see why it’s an Issue to have a Smite Psyker and I can handle myself fine without any CC on the team

terse idol
#

So jn theory yeah good teams instead of taking minor chip damage

#

Will just take 0 damage

pastel yew
#

its an issue to me because its not fun

hollow ibex
terse idol
#

That's why smite is okay

pastel yew
#

I dont sign up to play hit the gibbering heretic

terse idol
#

Oh

pastel yew
#

2 plasma guns on your team

lyric dock
#

The only time I dislike a smite psyker is if they're using the power all willy nilly

pastel yew
#

or 2 smite psykers

#

there will never be even a single shred of tension or stress in your entire game

faint beacon
pastel yew
#

heart rate never goes above resting

#

I don't mind people using super strong stuff it's just that some things are outliers in how much they make the game easier

hollow ibex
#

wouldn't characterize smite as super strong, or even strong

lyric dock
#

When it is used correctly. It is quite strong

pastel yew
#

I mean if you play the game with a psyker who's smiting everything, you never have to try

hollow ibex
#

it's more of "nice to have, sometimes"

lyric dock
#

But when used incorrectly

#

It gives you a fair bit of gripe

pastel yew
#

honestly I'd rather psykers keep casting smite on single poxwalkers and stay out of the way, I'd rather play as a 3 than 4 with smite

#

definitely biased but man it's such an awful ability

rigid pine
#

personally i love smite users, helps keep the things from hitting me and lets me do my job better

pastel yew
#

else you might as well just go in the psykanium and shoot there as its the same thing

hollow ibex
#

yes... there's that interaction...

faint beacon
pastel yew
#

the stress is what I live for potglare

faint beacon
#

Don’t get me wrong it’s still fun running Aurics without one

rigid pine
faint beacon
#

They probably could add some sort of interactive element to it that isn’t just

pastel yew
#

thats why so many smite psykers are trash, they boost the difficulty because they don't have to do anything then immediately get bodied the instant anything goes wrong

faint beacon
#

Hold Right

pastel yew
#

it's the ultimate "carry me for penance" button

gilded rock
#

Just as brainless as old assail xd

faint beacon
#

Hold Left

#

Profit

hollow ibex
#

yup

pastel yew
#

under ideal conditions yes, but most auric teams are not good

lyric dock
#

On my main Psyker set I have Smite, but don't use unless there's a reason to use it

I fucking love that ability

#

Smykers the moment a world-ending threat (one bruiser) enters melee range:

pastel yew
#

that's also a pet peeve of the plasma gun for me.... everytime I play zealot it's like they come out of the woodwork to shoot specifically every enemy I'm running at and none of the ones far out

gilded rock
coral willow
#

smykers when a groaner slaps them

gilded rock
rigid pine
pastel yew
#

I do try to avoid it though

gilded rock
#

DD seems like it would be very cool with BB but it just can't compare to EP in consistent value

coral willow
pastel yew
coral willow
#

and then smite is just broken

pastel yew
#

honestly though EP gun psyker is still one of my favourite builds

gilded rock
rigid pine
#

speaking of which, anyone have a good melee option for plasmagun? im currently running the flip shovel but im lacking in decent crowd control options when they close the distance

pastel yew
#

disrupt destiny is also a piece of shit bugged keystone BelieverCry

gilded rock
#

EP makes the charge time bearable

#

God forbid you ever dare right click to charge it

pastel yew
#

if you lose connection while using it, the upgrade node that makes your stacks decay every 10s instead of 4 disables

lyric dock
pastel yew
#

so your keystone literally bricks

gilded rock
#

Three second charge time for one rupture when a plasma user would have shot the threat enough times to kill it twice over

pastel yew
#

so you effectively get free empowered flays

gilded rock
#

I forgor which one kinetic flayer is

coral willow
#

if you run BB on gunpsyker just know that when you gaze-BB just know that spending a fuckton of ammo is more preferable

tall torrent
pastel yew
pastel yew
#

outside of that though... yeah

#

its shit

gilded rock
#

OH the gambler upgrade I love that one

tall torrent
faint beacon
gilded rock
#

So it gets the bonus but doesn't take a stack, sick

pastel yew
#

depends on if you prefer scriers or something else, I prefer brain rupture >> double walls >> empower psionics for gun psyker

gilded rock
#

I figured it wouldn't take a stack but not that it's boosted

pastel yew
#

less ammo, less reliant on button and able to be far more aggressive

#

not sure how good it is now columnus crits are nerfed

#

given they're a huge driver for... not being dead

frank basin
#

Still viable

faint beacon
#

I always run Scriers on my Gunker

frank basin
#

Gunker alarm

coral willow
faint beacon
#

Makes me able to swap between Melee and Gun really easily

pastel yew
#

voidstrike disrupt destiny is one of the most fun builds in the game right until you disconnect and lose your keystone for the rest of the game

coral willow
#

but yeah marginal

pastel yew
#

its saves a significant ammount of ammo

#

also helps with your boss burst

frank basin
#

Brainbrust disrupt destiny challenge

coral willow
coral willow
pastel yew
#

since you can gun >> flay which gets the ep damage boost >> 3 ep br >> br till peril. with whatever walls inbetween to speed it

not for special deletion

#

I dont use my gun on horde ever

coral willow
gilded rock
#

how it feels when kinetic flayer makes my bb hit the crusher twice

pastel yew
#

yeah its strong I just don't like all of my potential being tied to a cooldown ability really

frank basin
#

Guess am only one mag dump columnus on shooters

pastel yew
#

would rather have the walls for funny br stuff

bitter turtle
#

its like an irl crutch

#

if you cant walk well it helps

#

if u can walk well it just gets in the way

pastel yew
bitter turtle
#

if its just good with bad player and good with good player that's just called "good"

pastel yew
#

and that increase they get is going to be stronger than the average auric players output

bitter turtle
coral willow
#

smite is designed bad

bitter turtle
#

well

#

my opinion on smite notwithstanding i was just making that distinction

coral willow
#

in a horde game freezing entire hordes is like opposite of fun

pastel yew
bitter turtle
#

i dont agree that it makes good players better though

#

like maybe if you measure in terms of scoreboard

#

yea

#

my only games where i only did 1m+ damage was with 2 smiteker

pastel yew
#

what does that even mean?

bitter turtle
#

but it does not make the game easier no

pastel yew
#

W A T

#

of course it does

gilded rock
#

In gaming "crutch" is very much usually meaning "high reward with low skill requirement"

pastel yew
#

its free baby mode

gilded rock
#

Smite is definitely a crutch in that way

pastel yew
#

it is impossible to fail while smite psyker is alive

bitter turtle
#

yea i sure like having to kill 70% of the enemies on a scab only monstro

gilded rock
#

It does not limit good players

bitter turtle
#

we literally couldnt advance bc 2 people could not stop pressing smite

pastel yew
#

you'd have to be using your face to control your keyboard to lose when smite is on your team

bitter turtle
#

and i was using a v7

pastel yew
#

cackle

#

as much as I love that gun

bitter turtle
#

yea see

#

they just kept using smite

bitter turtle
#

im pretty sure

#

what had to do with it

#

was the ppl doing 1/3rd of my total damage

coral willow
pastel yew
coral willow
#

thats pubs in general

#

not auric

pastel yew
#

honestly 60% of games already have someone that could effectively not be there and make no difference

#

I guess that's fair

#

I only quick play though

#

playing with a set of strong players sounds like a sure fire way to have little fun

coral willow
#

qp china time

bitter turtle
#

no 😔

coral willow
#

oh boy i cant wait for the random teammate just sends me and 2 other guys off the map

pastel yew
#

but sometimes you get in a game with 3 really competent players and it's the same as having a smite psyker

#

no sweat no challenge all chill

bitter turtle
pastel yew
#

I need a nice level of stress to get into that flow state

bitter turtle
#

no need to trash on me that bad 😔

coral willow
pastel yew
#

new map is super laggy for me

#

every other map is chilling but new ones rough

For me it stutters at the end of the vertical shuttle when I know it's spawning in a small nation's worth of people

bitter turtle

i really like that part

its fun

gilded rock
#

That section is so fun though

#

Yesss

#

Running and gunning is so fun right there

It's been the most satisfying part of the mission every time I've played

coral willow
#

the ice cog part?

#

or the foundry entrance(inside)

bitter turtle
#

pretty sure he means the part where you take the tram and it opens up to a small army

coral willow

the funny door?

#

ah the actual entrance

Is that a feature or a mod?

mod

faint beacon

That’s a mod to stop you from accidentally tossing weapons you like basically

crude fiber

went through the trouble of leveling up a new character so i could farm for manstopper, i got it on my first weapon and thought they made you need to be level 30 or something. i must have favorited it on accident somehow
