#

would be nice vs like ragers though

royal vortex
#

so many fucking problems come back down to

#

"you kill so many things this idea is pointless"

#

GRAAAAAAAAAAAA

ripe quest
#

A problem here is a lot of suggestions are solid but they require other suggestions to go through first

coarse birch
#

player power is also its own issue

#

tbf

#

like there are a lot of issues that would create other issues if we tried to fix current issues

ripe quest
#

like I think the horde clear vs horde cc attack thing would be nice if stagger wasn't on everything

royal vortex
tidal berry
royal vortex
#

crab does put it the best in that atm horizontal sweeps are too rewarding and diagonals too little (in most cases)

tidal berry
#

a lot of the gameplay goes out the window when you can just nuke the gameplay before it happens

#

30 shotgunners spawn and you eat them in 0.5 seconds

south folio
#

at least in the case of overhead diagonals, i think they're doing fine

coarse birch
#

diagonals are just worse horizontals really

#

in my exp

#

like they are still fine

royal vortex
#

is a good starting point i feel

tidal berry
coarse birch
#

yeah

#

esp with crazy cleave values we have

royal vortex
#

vicious slice as an impact blessing could work

ripe quest
#

They could do a lot to form move identity.

royal vortex
#

oh absolutely

#

the entire move archetype framework they have tried and failed to use has a lot of potential for fixing some of the innate issues atm

#

like i think its vt2 halberd (dont quote me on this i dont fuckin play that game) has different combos u can use for horde dps vs being safe in horde

#

and this just isnt present to any degree in darktide

coarse birch
#

i wanna say melee as a whole

royal vortex
#

and it doesn't have to be on every weapon because that sounds tiring

coarse birch
#

was more in depth than in DT

royal vortex
#

tbf i think every gun in vt2 feels awful to shoot

coarse birch
#

rather than a "oh look something i can pad damage with"

royal vortex
#

so theres some tradeoffs there

coarse birch
#

oh yeah i cant play VT2 now

#

cause DTs gameplay feels much better

tidal berry
#

part of the design

#

its like a melee first game with guns as flavor

#

and thats ok

#

but DT doesnt have to be that either

royal vortex
#

i dont want to say fatshark was necessarily trying to appeal to the hypothetical "casual crowd" because this argument is made by people i find disagreeable and its a bit too inherently "fatshark is AWFUL"

#

but darktide does do some weird shit that makes melee combat way less involved

coarse birch
#

i do think theres a difference between making things accessible and near total lack of depthj

#

in the melee department

royal vortex
#

darktide does not actually lack depth in terms of what is happening when you are playing the game

#

because there's plenty of decisions being made

coarse birch
#

yeah that parts fine

#

i just meant like for weapons

royal vortex
#

which is something i bring up because people will tend to look at the complaint that too many weapons are super simple and go "oh you're just mad the game isn't catering to you with 2,000 hours"

south folio
#

and people who conveniently ignore the multiple difficulties

royal vortex
#

but theres just a bunch of weapons where you legitimately cannot opt into any kind of learning

dawn wharf
#

I'm thinking I may start running Flesh Tearer over Precog if I'm running a crit build. It seems to really help it in horde clear for knives

coarse birch
#

gameplay is something i tend to complain less abotu minus like audio issues cause its the reason i play

royal vortex
dawn wharf
#

Seems to be faster than haymaker too from what I'm seeing but it could be a mirage lol

south folio
#

true i suppose

tidal berry
#

making guns overpowered takes away meaning from more involved ones

ripe quest
#

I do find that there are a couple weapons where you can swing it for like 30 seconds to a minute and you'll have it down minimum 95%.

tidal berry
#

I could make an example to you know who

#

All the perception around ''bolter bad'' because plasma is grossly overperforming

royal vortex
#

because a bunch of weapons used to legit just be awful even before you started comparing

coarse birch
#

plasma is one of the few guns i actively dislike playing with

royal vortex
#

and now there's a lot more options that are anywhere from "fine" to "good/great but overshadowed"

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

weapon balance is like

fleet zealot
#

flesh tearer really only helps vs groaners, not fully infested poxwalkers

coarse birch
#

not my biggest concern but it does have its issues

dawn wharf
#

Oh I haven't tried that one yet

coarse birch
#

a lot of the crazy player power we have rn it due to talent trees imo

dawn wharf
#

I'mma give that one a spin

ripe quest
coarse birch
#

and stuff like rending being absurd

#

and accessible

royal vortex
#

part of the thing about plasma is just its ease of use

coarse birch
#

yeah

royal vortex
#

bullet magnetism and whatnot

coarse birch
#

dont need to worry about heat or managing it eitehr

#

cause rmb is worthless

ripe quest
#

It being a point and click adventure is pretty funny

coarse birch
#

venting is free

ripe quest
#

If they keep it as-is it should def drain health

royal vortex
#

bolter zealot is unironically kind of the feel i want for plasma on vet

#

because u run out of ammo very quickly

coarse birch
#

thats how it used to feel i swear

#

pre like

#

LMB is everything buff

#

which came with the venting buff i think

royal vortex
#

it should be a relatively unwieldy weapon that requires a bit of thought (more than mechanical skill) to use properly

coarse birch
#

it was a very deliberate weapon

#

and now its

#

point at what you want dead

#

shoot

#

get ammo back etc

royal vortex
#

the thing is also

#

no matter what u do

#

balancing is a constant process that will inevitably create more autopistols/bolters/etc

coarse birch
#

weapon balance is like mostly fine atm

#

imo

#

its not perfect but

#

i can live with it

royal vortex
#

which is to say

fleet zealot
royal vortex
#

bring back bugged fire rounds

#

i miss this

north sedge
#

We need another vicious slice to happen, because that was so funny

coarse birch
royal vortex
#

sacrificing infant children

coarse birch
#

a worthy sacrifice

royal vortex
#

level 373 mankar zealot

#

man

coarse birch
#

i was gonna say

fleet zealot
coarse birch
#

"i love this" -Josho before he realized what ogryn had become

ripe quest
#

I personally find that comparing between weapons the balancing is in a historically good spot. But I don't think it's a good spot for weapons to be in in general.

royal vortex
#

they fixed fire rounds

coarse birch
#

yeah weapon balance does not have a high bar to cross

#

if we are comparing between pre patch 13

fleet zealot
#

the audio/visual bug

#

where your gun just freezes and doesn't amke noise

royal vortex
#

oh yeah

royal vortex
#

it was at least novel

fleet zealot
#

monstrosity spawning infront of me

coarse birch
#

its actually a little sad

#

to see

royal vortex
#

p13 was fun

ripe quest
#

Like I think our current strength is too suffocating for FS to balance enemies around. You can develop strong enemy presence (hopefully they expand upon enemy types) in an environment where strong enemies aren't just wiped from existence.

royal vortex
#

abusing all the ridiculous shit

coarse birch
#

i will be so sad if we just get more enemy buffs

#

for the love of god nerf players

#

please

#

i beg

royal vortex
#

there was the phase where just doing anything u couldnt do before was fun because the game had infinitely less content

coarse birch
#

yeah p13 hit

ripe quest
#

rn I'm noticing that good players can DPS check most situations from existence, patrols and scary enemy compositions are typically a 15-30 second problem at most. The problem here is that if you look at any clip of someone in a team that isn't able to keep up, enemy density is absurd around them.

coarse birch
#

although i made it a bit worse for myself for a while

#

because i refused to use assail/void

#

or ogryn

#

at all

#

so i p much just played patch 12 psyker but with DS

#

lol

royal vortex
#

the game gets almost fkin nightmarish sometimes when ppl start dropping right after a patrol is aggro'd

latent summit
royal vortex
#

because u just have so much shit on u instantly

ripe quest
#

We're at this weird point where you can obliterate stuff before it's a problem but if you don't hit that threshold the enemy balancing catches up. Obv it's a tide game so this should be there, but it seems so outlier-ish rn.

coarse birch
#

yeah if shit goes downhill with a patrol

#

its rough

#

which is fun

latent summit
#

which is why im not too big a fan of, like, support psyker. cuz if they get stuck on anything else that isn't holding down smite, they tend to get downed

coarse birch
#

so long as the game doesnt meme you

misty raven
#

director situations is just very...bipolar

royal vortex
#

this shit wont get old to me though

latent summit
#

also yeah, some histg is business as usual, and sometimes it's, like, the hordes/spec hordes DON'T STOP the whole mission lmao

royal vortex
#

WAIT

#

WHAT

coarse birch
#

if they ever make shotgunners a real enemy i will miss filling the entire kill feed with them

royal vortex
#

CHASTISING USES UP 2 DODGE CHARGES

#

?????

#

(in this clip at least)

coarse birch
#

aint no way

royal vortex
#

what the hell

ripe quest
#

wdym

coarse birch
#

surely

south folio
#

i think that's just the numericui bug

coarse birch
#

we would have noticed

ripe quest
#

seems like 1 charge used

coarse birch
#

before this

coarse birch
royal vortex
#

arco

#

it counts for dance of death/duellist

south folio
#

yeah i know

royal vortex
#

i know theres bugs where u can have ur entire dodge count spent immediately

#

(because of crab malding)

south folio
#

it's just that the dodge counter has had a bug where it shows the dodge count you had before they refreshed during certain instances that i've forgotten in some time

#

cuz of my boutique dodge counter

royal vortex
coarse birch
#

im checking it now lol

royal vortex
#

thats weird

#

some strangeness right there

south folio
#

damn it really does use 2 dodges flat?

coarse birch
#

didnt happen for me

#

used bolter too

ripe quest
#

I knew that it put you in a weird 0x toughness damage state but that'd be weird

royal vortex
#

why the hell is chastising counting for an on-dodge proc

#

is it like fkin counting u as sliding around on the floor

south folio
#

you've always had ranged i-frames during chastise haven't you

ripe quest
#

might only be a live server thing

fleet zealot
#

Movement = dodge KEKW_ogryn

coarse birch
#

i wonder if chastising through gunfire procs it

#

then

royal vortex
#

i guess if its doing the same thing as ghost (which works if u proc it at the right time)

coarse birch
#

thats all i can think of

violet root
#

stunstorm nades would count towards the control crowds penance right? or am i restarded

coarse birch
#

unless it was just some really weird timing that lined up

south folio
#

hmm just testing in the meatgrinder chastise is just showing the dodge count that you were at before the most recent refresh

#

if you chastise right after joining the psykhanium, it stays at 0 as expected

royal vortex
#

what the hell

south folio
#

you'll notice it when you're clambering

#

for example

royal vortex
#

when i am clambering

dawn wharf
south folio
#

yeah since you get ranged i-frames during clambering so i assume the same sort of thing is happening during zealot's dash

royal vortex
#

damn

south folio
#

i only noticed it because it was being a pain in the ass when i was making the angle bracket dodge counter of mines

#

since it was very apparently showing low dodges whenever i clambered

#

and i tried a few ways to fix this before realizing that you were in a dodge state while clambering

#

and then i said fuck it i'm not spending even more time on this than i already did

royal vortex
#

๐Ÿ˜”

coarse birch
#

making anything in depth for DT seems like such a pain

south folio
#

hmmm i think clambering is also a melee dodge

coarse birch
#

like uses one or has the affects of them

south folio
#

has the effects of them

#

cuz ogryn elites aren't hitting me whenever i clamber

coarse birch
#

so you get one dodge while clambering

#

or you are in the dodge state for all of the clamber

south folio
#

in a dodge state

coarse birch
#

hm

#

so thats why its felt so strong to me lol

south folio
#

a very neat feature

#

i wish we had some more interesting map geometry that made use of it

#

railings will have to do for now

north sedge
#

Greenhill zone when

visual stream
coarse birch
#

ill do it over random cover to get through like bulwarks packs

#

in a corner orw/e

royal vortex
north sedge
#

I once saw josho utilize his parkour skills to simply kickflip off the map

royal vortex
#

lmfao

coarse birch
#

damn joshos got it like that

royal vortex
#

im very good at the game

north sedge
#

Just randomly during the finale on consignment yard

royal vortex
#

the ledge did not work

#

i am innocent

south folio
#

why would the ledge do this to you

north sedge
#

I mean i watched it happen, you tried to get the 720 for the point multiplier

river needle
royal vortex
#

are u bunger

river needle
#

Oh, whoops, wrong message

royal vortex

๐Ÿ˜”

river needle
obsidian ore
#

This is kinda funny ngl

visual stream
coarse birch
#

hey its joshos first hammer

#

with better perks

obsidian ore
#

Made it for fun and picked up every impact talent

north sedge

Live footage of josho flying off

obsidian ore
#

light attacking crushers on ground is funny af

royal vortex
royal vortex
obsidian ore
#

heres my actual hammer

north sedge
royal vortex
#

he's stronger than i am

river needle
#

Apologies if I sucked lol

visual stream
#

Nah you were pretty good iirc

coarse birch
#

also josho you were right about hating recon

#

i had a recon vet today who full died unironically 5 times

#

it was the match of all time

spare talon
coarse birch
#

i almost feel bad it must have just not been his day

royal vortex
#

recon players aren't just using a shitty weapon theyre very often also doing the most nonsensical shit ever

#

i had one dude who ate all the ammo and shot it at everything and still did no damage

#

u were farmin poxwalkers sir

#

where are those NUMBERS

coarse birch
#

i think he did 100k damage in 40 mins

royal vortex
#

jfc

ripe quest
river needle
coarse birch
tidal berry
south folio
#

i only used 520% ammo for my recon to do 3/5ths of the damage that josho was doing

ripe quest
spare talon
royal vortex
#

ive used a recon lasgun legitimately once

#

if u can find iceslow u can see his clips of me hating every second of it

tidal berry
#

its just.. disappointing

ripe quest
#

I used it back when you had unlimited ammo and could actually just hold m1 the whole mission

tidal berry
#

water gun

royal vortex
#

the entire gun is just designed the opposite to weapons i enjoy

royal vortex
#

its like shining a fuckin flashlight on enemies

ripe quest
#

The slowest one has some ok damage but all three suck balls against maniac iirc

coarse birch
#

i want to use it like an aggro las smg

royal vortex
#

YOU ARE ILLUMINATED

coarse birch
#

but it does not work like that

tidal berry
#

I hated it during the one patch it was good too

royal vortex
#

it just feels bad to shoot regardless of the damage

tidal berry
#

it was bad even when it was good

#

feels bad to shoot and you blind yourself with the projectile lmao

#

whatever I'm shooting at is covered with beams

ripe quest
#

For me I actually really like the feel of the slow and the genuine laser one but I do feel like they could give it some identity beyond that

tidal berry
#

mg12?

coarse birch
#

he means recon

royal vortex
#

recons as a whole just need some love

coarse birch
#

so mk2

tidal berry
#

oh wait the recon

coarse birch
#

i think

royal vortex
#

i have no suggestions as i just hate them

tidal berry
#

yeah sorry I dont know any recons beyond Vld

coarse birch
#

mk2 or the vla

#

or w/e

#

are slow

#

VLd is the really fast one iirc

tidal berry
#

its the only one hadron didnt brick for me

spare talon
dawn wharf
#

It could just be inconsistency while I was attacking but Executor vs. Flesh Tearer felt really similar in damage when spammed on weakpoints across various horde chaffs. But the stagger pushed it over for me the most. Made it much easier to not get surrounded

ripe quest
#

There's like, constant firing one, really fast one, and nearly infantry lasgun speed one

coarse birch
#

i have been on a mk12 lasgun kick recently

#

i wanna use it on scriers psyker but suppression exists

#

so

tidal berry
#

It just lacks identity as a platform

coarse birch
#

ill just not

ripe quest
coarse birch
#

i remember i used 1a with josho once and he watched me miss 20 shots cause i couldnt fuckin aim it

#

at a gunner pack

#

for .10 seconds

royal vortex
#

lmfao

tidal berry
#

I dont run suppression immunity

#

but on infant las it can get annoying I guess

spare talon
#

i honestly never had issues with most enemies with the knife cuz i went the loner route to save on talent points, and that meant grabbing +impact to the head, which is the one directly below twbs
unironically helped me mindlessly stagger maulers with just a dinky little knife with 0 effort

ripe quest
#

The VIIa is the slow one

#

for recons

#

wait they get stripped down?

coarse birch
#

stop cooking

#

immediately

ripe quest
#

punishing salvo is +50% weakspot damage

#

what in the world

coarse birch
#

hol up

spare talon
coarse birch
#

i was gonna say

ripe quest
#

Recons have lasgun finesse multipliers

tidal berry
coarse birch
#

whats that actually add up to

#

recon does have good finesse

tidal berry
#

wait.. it does?

coarse birch
#

yeah its got good WS numbers last i knew

tidal berry
#

whuh

ripe quest
#

oh they have a shit salvo reset timer though

spare talon
#

but you still have to fire the full auto weapon in bursts, inherently lowering your overall damage output
so will that really be worth it

south folio
#

rip

coarse birch
#

liek good finesse scaling

#

but not high damage

tidal berry
#

maybe good compared to like, braced autos?

#

I dont think its iag levels

#

or maybe its because base numbers suck

ripe quest
#

Actually the Mk II has a good timer

coarse birch
#

isnt it like 1.5x or something

ripe quest
#

hmm

coarse birch
#

arco knows

#

arco

tidal berry
#

1.5x isn't good finesse lol

coarse birch
#

whats the finesse scaling on recon

ripe quest
#

On Flak the weakspot is 2.66x damage

tidal berry
#

well not for ranged at least

coarse birch
#

ok 2.66 makes more sense

#

how is it with salvo

#

still ike

#

underwhelming

ripe quest
#

So specifically the Mk II

dawn wharf
spare talon
#

exhillious i swear to god
if you manage to theory craft your way into making a recon lasgun not dogshit
im gonna lose it

tidal berry
#

I don't see a scenario

#

where you can't just slap a gray iag instead

#

and do just as good if not miles better

spare talon
#

keyword not dogshit
i didnt say good

tidal berry
#

I can make that already

#

build melee vet

#

slap recon

#

never use it

#

''see guys its good''

ripe quest
#

wait since when were the salvo blessings shots 2 3 and 4

south folio
#

some whacky time ago that i forgor

ripe quest
#

hmm

tidal berry
#

just gotta make sure your melee is good at murking maniac

#

really good at it

ripe quest
tidal berry
#

which is fortunately most melees

south folio
#

it's just that shrimple

coarse birch
#

arco i tried BM mk6 psword

south folio
coarse birch
#

wtf is that

south folio
#

that's peak gameplay right there

polar nexus
#

TIL I could proce reciprocity with stripped down

south folio
#

510% ammo picked up

coarse birch
#

im played pretty much only illisi for months

#

my braincells are long gone

south folio
#

this is so sad

polar nexus
#

I am tempted to make a hit & run stripped down ciag

coarse birch
#

it took me months to stop going into -7/5 dodges

#

and i still do it

south folio
#

i had to unfortunately use my melee some few times

#

i really wanted a 0 melee damage run and no nadees but alas

coarse birch
#

how the might have fallen

polar nexus
#

Same

coarse birch
#

a world where arco does no melee damage

#

sad times

south folio
#

so true

#

for peak pswording, i recommend revolver weapon specialist

coarse birch
south folio
#

so true

#

ergo, vet is the baddest of them all

coarse birch
#

TRUE

#

bring back patch 12 vet

fading vale
#

tfw SOMEONE uses 10 stacks of silver in valheim after me and someone else go on an arduous journey to get 450 of it

south folio
#

did he really use 10 stacks

#

wtf

ripe quest
#

hmmm this might be an exe stance only kinda thing

coarse birch
#

is someone stan

fading vale
#

yes

coarse birch
#

how did i know

royal vortex
south folio
fading vale
#

and maybe like 8 stacks

median steeple
#

How

#

Like what the fuck costs that much

fading vale
#

he upgraded everything to level 4

median steeple
#

Omg

south folio
#

stan didn't get the hint the first time he upgraded his iron stuff

royal vortex
#

the great thing about stan is he just hears whatever he wants

fading vale
#

this is indeed the second occurrence

royal vortex
#

"don't upgrade your armor nobody else is"

tidal berry
royal vortex
#

"i thought you said other people WERE upgrading their armor"

tidal berry
#

there is barely anything to spend silver for

fading vale
tidal berry
#

oo right

#

I thought one player slurped it all

fading vale
#

yes

#

that is what happened

south folio
#

(he did)

tidal berry
#

wait, one player slurped all 10

fading vale
#

on max upgrades

tidal berry
#

holy hell lmao

coarse birch
#

am i the only person here who doesnt play valheim damn

south folio
#

i've only played it with them for a few hours so far

tidal berry
#

this reminds me of someone in our server, who joined, used all the iron and then quit the run

fading vale
#

I just started valheim for the first time

ripe quest
#

Valheim is a once a year thing for me, much like Terraria playthroughs.

coarse birch
#

ah ok

coarse birch
#

so im not that out of the loop

south folio
#

wtf

#

you bitch

coarse birch
#

you said chad?????

south folio
#

TRUEEEEE

coarse birch
#

obvious self report

fading vale
#

Arcochad

south folio
#

so true

ripe quest
#

dude darktide is going to surpass my terraria hours at this rate

coarse birch
#

notice how quickly arco resorts to insults

#

not very chadly of him

south folio
#

๐Ÿฅบ

coarse birch
#

dont look at me like that

tidal berry
coarse birch
#

youll make me feel bad

ripe quest
tidal berry
#

I like to uh, spice it up with difficulty modifiers

#

and mods

fading vale
#

I at least have the boats and sailing mod so it doesn't always take 10 years to go somewhere

tidal berry
#

but its easy to suck the fun out of it with too many QoL mods

coarse birch
#

i think DT is def my second most played game on steam

#

approaching #1

#

only siege is above it rn

#

sadly

fading vale
#

wow that is sad

ripe quest
#

I think I'll be dead or lose my steam account before darktide surpasses my gmod hours

coarse birch
#

not really actually

#

i used to like siege

#

before it just irreversibly damaged my mental health

tidal berry
fading vale
#

I would rather have a shotgun in my mouth than play siege

coarse birch
#

same

#

now

tidal berry
#

siege used to look like a cool game

#

before it had a bazillion ''heros''

ripe quest
coarse birch
#

i swear it was fun like 4/5 years agoi

ripe quest
#

Totally not an unhealthy community

coarse birch
#

idk what is now

#

its lost something

tidal berry
#

at this point I dont feel like learning kits of 70 different characters so I can soloq in what is now essentially a hero shooter

coarse birch
#

or it was my first online game and i just didnt know anything else at the time

fading vale
#

I don't really like slower paced low TTK shooters these days, especially ones with all the gimmicky shit

ripe quest
# south folio cope

Jokes on you I've spent more time hanging out with clone trooper larpers than you ever will

tidal berry
#

thats a based take

ripe quest
coarse birch
#

i prefer low ttk cause shooting someone in apex for 45 minutes so they can run away and heal is fucking infuriating

tidal berry
#

low TTK + slow pace is just rodent paradise

coarse birch
#

although i dont like battle royales in general

south folio
#

i no longer desire to play PvP games in general unless it's a deathmatch mode or something

fading vale
#

well there are tiers of TTK

south folio
#

long respawn times are the real devil for me

fading vale
#

and yes fuck BRs

ripe quest
fading vale
#

I used to be a pvp nut

#

but it's just not worth it

ripe quest
#

And when it is a coop game it's Destiny of all things.

fading vale
#

my brain says no

tidal berry
#

I think most people used to be at some point

tidal berry
#

fps games are like a good way for people to avoid parenting after all

coarse birch
tidal berry
#

I just play battlebit every once in a while now

fading vale
#

I certainly enjoyed my family life of gaming for thousands of hours

coarse birch
#

yeah pvp outside of fighting games have not been it for me recently

#

even FGs havent been hitting

tidal berry
#

I think I'd get back into it if there was a game worth playing

coarse birch
#

i think my mental doesnt let me play PVP well

tidal berry
#

but pvp games have been dogwater

#

in the fps front

fighting games make me want to punch my screen to much and I'm omega biased against zoners

coarse birch
#

i dont mind zoners too much

#

some are dumb though

#

i mostly hate zoners with good boxing options

#

like bruh

ripe quest
#

DBFZ where Broly is the best grappler and also the best zoner in the game

#

๐Ÿ™‚

south folio
#

fighting games seem like something that i'll prob get into later in my life

coarse birch
#

DBFZ is one i never played

tidal berry
coarse birch
#

although i played exclusively smash for like 2 and half years so

#

i missed quite a few FGs

fading vale
#

I'm just not gonna get good enough/play enough to shut down zoners so it's fucking annoying

tidal berry
#

at least you're not playing mobas

coarse birch
#

cause thats just how they are

#

and its very hard

ripe quest
fading vale
#

I plated smash ultimate a decent bit

tidal berry
#

if you ever feel bad about your life decisions remember you could be playing mobas rn

fading vale
#

my buddy decided to main Simon and tryhard

#

and I fucking loathed him for it

coarse birch
#

and simon is one of the weaker zoners

#

but smash is a bad example

#

cause every zoner is designed like ass

fading vale
#

weaker at better play

coarse birch
#

and its also not meant to be comp

fading vale
#

but super fucking obnoxious when you aren't that good

#

well we did 1v1s and tournaments

coarse birch
#

oh im not arguing against comp play

#

i was mentioning it for the sake of like

fading vale
#

and he was getting into playing competitive

coarse birch
#

why zoners are ass

fading vale
#

ah

coarse birch
#

cause its literally not designed to be played that way

ripe quest
#

I only played rob and that was so funny at my skill tier

north sedge
#

Obligatory

coarse birch
#

i entered smash tournies for 2 years lol

fading vale
#

fucking Rob

coarse birch
#

im not against comp play at all

fading vale
#

Rob is ridiculous

coarse birch
#

rob is fucked up

ripe quest
#

i love dying at 0 off a projectile to a true combo

#

im also glad his downtilt isnt frame 3 and minus like 2

I enjoy how Steve is banned from most shit now

coarse birch
#

steve is

coarse birch
#

one of the characters of all time

#

im not even sure i want him banned

#

but hes like

#

not great

fading vale
#

well

#

there's some game breaking tech you can do

coarse birch
#

i havent fought him in a while though ive taken a year off competing

#

yeah hes very game breaking

#

it just takes a lot for me to say ban a character

#

like smash 4 bayo wasnt even banned

#

or brawl mk but that was slightly region dependant

fading vale
#

the Leo Byleth era was a joy to watch

coarse birch
#

granted you could def argue all those chars should have been banned

#

yeah i enjoyed leo byleth

fading vale
#

I think Steve has some tech that should be bugfixed but isn't going to be which is the issue

coarse birch
#

some real shit would need to come out

fading vale
#

like ignoring hits or something

coarse birch
#

for him to be banned

#

that was found but didnt end up being used in tournament effectively

#

and therefor was fine

fading vale
#

I see

coarse birch
#

people did try to get him banned as soon as it came out

fading vale
#

I haven't kept up in the past year or so

coarse birch
#

but people were less sick of steve back then

#

so they said lets wait

fading vale
#

I just hate watching Steve and sonic mostly

coarse birch
#

it doesnt help theres no like commitee for smash

#

its all grassroots

#

so its hard to actually enforce a full ban

fading vale
#

Sonix during covid made me want to lose hope in humanity

coarse birch
#

some places might have him unbanned and then your fucked cause you dont know how to fight steve now

#

sonic is

#

something

#

smash is very good at designing characters fucking horribly

fading vale
#

add in a 12 frame delay and uh, fuck you

coarse birch
#

smash online is one of the reasons im at least taking a break from competing

#

the scene here is very small so i have to drive an hour and a half one way to play in my weekly

#

but it means to ever practice i need to do online

fading vale
#

bro the savior of melee is a legend

coarse birch
#

oh fizzy

#

yeah

fading vale
#

yeah

#

dude implemented a whole ass online system with competitive and shit AND ROLLBACK

coarse birch
#

i would pay so much to get that for smash ult

#

please

#

although at this point im ready for smash 6

#

unless its ult but more characters lol

fading vale
#

sorry it's a party game so there might be more than 2 people

coarse birch
#

which i do not want in the slightest

fading vale
#

WELL THEN IMPLEMENT IT FOR 2 PEOPLE

#

SAKURAI

coarse birch
#

smash is a very interesting game

#

the training room is like

fading vale
#

I mean it's good

coarse birch
#

from 2004

#

and also lies to you

#

and you cant actually practice like combos

#

cause the cpu cant DI

fading vale
#

well that's why we have mods

coarse birch
#

unless you set up a second controller and have someone DI or use your fuckin feet

#

whereas in other fighting games i can put myself in a replay to try different options in certain scenarios im not sure on

fading vale
#

Nintendo ain't ever going to commit to having stuff to facilitate competitive play

coarse birch
#

oh for sure not

#

im not expecting it

#

it just makes it much harder to learn in smash

#

but such is life in a game not intended for comp play

#

that is also the most popular comp fighting game

fading vale
#

ngl most other fighting games seem kind of sameish to me

#

all the street fighter or mk types

coarse birch
#

they do have there own thing but you kinda know what to expect

#

stuff translates

north sedge
#

There some basics but they feel pretty different generally

fading vale
#

I watched FighterZ for a while

#

that seemed kind of cool

coarse birch
#

a lot of people like fighterZ

#

however its also fucked up so you get hit by like 4 hour long combos

#

for most of your health

#

which is common in anime fighters

fading vale
#

yeah

north sedge
#

Compounded by it being a tag fighter on top of that

coarse birch
#

althogh i think melty blood actually has lower damage

fading vale
#

meanwhile DT be like what if you equip a caxe and spam m1

coarse birch
#

i feel bad complaining about the good stuff to my friend cause he struggles with damnation on DT but shit like that actually bothers me so much

#

like

#

MAKE A FUCKING INTERESTING WEAPON IF YOUR GONNA MAKE IT THAT GOOD

fading vale
#

no

#

the easiest weapon shall be the best

coarse birch
#

if i have any idea of what is going on around me i will not lose

#

bar the game not memeing me

#

although said friend doesnt play DT anymore so ig it doesnt matter

fading vale
#

regular damnation feels like malice or something

coarse birch
#

yeah

#

i think playing with me might not have helped him honestly cause i was just able to clear so much of what we did with my eyes closed

#

that there was a big disparity between playing with randos and me

#

not even like a flex just like

#

rip

fading vale
#

yeah I mean, regular damnation is pretty soloable

coarse birch
#

yeah

#

i mean anything below histg honestly

#

you dont really die to not disablers

#

and there are half the amount on screen in below histg

fading vale
#

and then 75% of being disabled is some fucked up interaction or bug

coarse birch
#

actually i lied

#

poxbursters kill me the most

#

when they are dead silent

#

until they have already jumped

#

it happens so often i wonder if its a skill issue but ffs

you are better than this plasma users

do they also do no melee damage

royal vortex
#

yes

south folio
#

it does confuse me how players do so little ranged damage relative to the ammo they use

coarse birch
#

aim bad id hope

south folio
#

or even at all, regardless of ammo

#

i still did ~370/500 of the damage that josho did in that recon lasgun meme game i did

coarse birch
#

maybe your just the best darktide player ever

south folio
#

well, more like 370/560

#

yeah i'm john darktide

coarse birch
#

should have known

#

but yeah idk how you do no ranged damage

north sedge
#

Always remember though, AINL

coarse birch
#

assuming you are using your gun

#

its not like this game asks you to hit hard shots

#

enemies kinda stand still

#

or they stand still to do something after running

south folio
#

and i'm playing while standing in a wonky setup where my hand has no place to rest

#

and i'm aiming purely with my wrist

coarse birch

you fuckin stand

recon isn't super blessing dependent

beyond it just being bad rn none of them are super impactful

HH is probably the best one

I means I just want remake recon 6

Since stripped down is a locked blessing on my gun

#

And I didnโ€™t use that gun much

#

Does stripped down proc on duck and dive?

royal vortex

yeah

bitter anvil

Hmmmm maybe that gun for other loadout then

coarse birch

also ive debated running flamer again

#

now that i know how to deal with ranged better

although iirc josho is a flamer hater so maybe not with him

sturdy owl
# royal vortex recon isn't super blessing dependent

Well it is, you need to scrape as much performance as you can out of the things. HH is undoubtedly the best and mandatory. Dumdum would be great if their baseline performance wasn't terrible. Infernus is infernus.

#

Those are your only options because the rest are shit and you need the damage.

Know what's great? Playing games where aiming guns is the primary way you fight, when you have poor aim...

My friend got me to get Tom Clancy's The Division 2 so we could play together sometime... playing shooting games is really annoying, due to how often my poor aim can make me miss really easy shots :/

That being said... I seem to do best with the rifles in that game >.>'
