[placid fiber]

Graia felt really mid the one time I was test firing it on the my Vet... and that was with like... 70% or higher stability on that one... and by mid I mean for how the recoil was on it, even tho it had high stability

[grizzled aspen]

That's... dark.

[grizzled aspen]

Step 1, pull down on your mouse. Step 2, profit.

[placid fiber]

To analyse performance, data has to be entered by hand, because a machine can’t be relied on for damage information

[rotund shoal]

No? How would they?

I already have poor accuracy, I don't want the gun trying to pull me off to willy wonka's chocolate factory while I'm trying to aim...

[ornate bone]

calling it ai is an insult to the term, we dont even have ai yet

[rotund shoal]

it can describe things generally

[ornate bone]

btw

at best we have advanced algorythms

[grizzled aspen]

Have you considered being more accurate? (genuine question)

[paper harness]

Not particularly that advanced

[fleet zealot]

(It's all "if, then" statements.)

[fleet zealot]

Grai iag is just the worst one cause it has nothing going for it

[ornate bone]

might pick it up for the acuracy

[placid fiber]

I try to aim the best I can every time, I just have have issues where I miss a moderate amount... (like sometimes 2 shots at the chest of a target with the revolver while not suppressed)...

[rocky nacelle]

I love CiAG but to call it anything short of broken or very fucking strong, is silly

[paper harness]

The most advanced algorithm is Google Search

[fleet zealot]

Agri hits harder per shot and has cleave, columnus has the best dps

[rotund shoal]

Dunno when I was a kid being able to ask a computer to "Hey I have this email can you rephrase it to say X? Also add this at the end.." etc., especially giving instructions in natural language, and having the computer reply, was definitely AI

[ornate bone]

yes exactly

[paper harness]

And it will likely always be google

[rotund shoal]

Everyone would have agreed its AI

[paper harness]

[grizzled aspen]

Practice flicking then. It will help a LOT to do this.

[rotund shoal]

Now people seem to think its not AI

[grizzled aspen]

Aim real wide of, say, a trapper on the move, then flick to her head and take it off.

[ornate bone]

its not artificial inteligence, its not even inteligence

[rotund shoal]

It can do intelligent things

[placid fiber]

I mean me missing more than 1 shot with the revolver is happening less and less, due to me finally using it... I've only actually brought a revolver to a run like... 6-8 times total in all of my over 1.6k hours in Darktide lol

[rotund shoal]

Its not conscious or sentient

if thats what you mean

but it is intelligent

[ornate bone]

yes

[rotund shoal]

Its more intelligent than some of my coworkers

[ornate bone]

but it does not count as being AN inteligence

[rotund shoal]

So i call it AI

[paper harness]

What people consider AI is just millions of cpu years of feeding an algorithm information until it shits out something coherent

And repeating

[grizzled aspen]

Chatgpt isn't even worth it to write emails. If you can't be asked to take 30 seconds and write out a basic reply email, you don't need to be holding a job where you have to write a basic reply email.

[spare talon]

ive had a computational neuroscience phd tell me to use chat gpt any chance i can, if what it outputs works for what i need it for

[grizzled aspen]

If.

[rotund shoal]

Chatgpt is like having a mediocre intern at your disposal

You need to correct their output

But they can be useful

[paper harness]

He was using it to simulate radar performance

[rotund shoal]

OK thats just r worded

[rotund shoal]

Nothing complicated. And its SUPER useful for that

[placid fiber]

Also: Dorn. Your, somewhat unpopular, idea of putting lascerate on the mk 6 knife(with uncanny strike) actually works pretty well for me since when my poor aim has me miss headshots... I get free extra damage lol

[rotund shoal]

Not Dorn but I run mk6 uncanny/lacerate and its amazing

[rocky nacelle]

he puts it on mk3

[spare talon]

which almost everything he was describing you could use it for, it can do
something like summarizing an entire meeting transcript, or writing a simple code model for something

[placid fiber]

Even tho it kinda works for me, I still absolutely fucking hate bringing lascerate on it lol

[rocky nacelle]

Lacerate is the equivalent of using sandpaper to wipe

[grizzled aspen]

Code, I can understand, because writing basic code is a pain once you've done it for the 100^nth time. Reading words isn't hard, though.

[placid fiber]

Lascerate, to me, is equivilant to putting double stagger blessings on a thammer...

[buoyant pewter]

I don’t know what that’s like.

I’m not a runt

[grizzled aspen]

Not thammer, dclaw.

[rotund shoal]

You dont use it for hard things. You use it for easy tedious things. It cant do hard things.

Thats the whole point

A mediocre intern

[placid fiber]

I don't either, but, I know it would be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING PAIN if I did have one with double stagger blessings...

[paper harness]

It gave the correct response to something google makes you do in its interview process

[rotund shoal]

That doesnt sleep, wont cry if you abuse it

[fleet zealot]

I wouldnt say it is that bad

Haymaker is the worst knife blessing then smack down

[placid fiber]

It is how it feels to me, tho

[spare talon]

there was a catastrophic aircraft incident because the landing detection gear they developed for use with this was designed in collaboration between 2 countries, which used different standards of measurement, and at no point did they specify exact measurements or think about it throughout the entire time in its development

[paper harness]

I was that intern, I also didn’t sleep

[fleet zealot]

Lacerate is more like, the salvo blessings

Not opening salvo

[buoyant pewter]

I have an inkling of a feeling that you might need to speak to HR soon

[fleet zealot]

But like 4th shot salvo

[buoyant pewter]

Ok at best

[grizzled aspen]

Probably should've been paid more than the people you worked for, too, if any of my internships are anything to go by.

[placid fiber]

Lascerate is like putting fucking... suppression immunity(or something similar that isn't hit and run) on for my 2nd brauto blessing instead of either a 2nd damage blessing or hit and run...

[fleet zealot]

It just forces you to play suboptimal to use the blessing which doesn’t make up for the suboptimal play (like say thrust does)

[rotund shoal]

Haha youre assumming were doing well enough to hire interns

[paper harness]

200k starting

[spare talon]

yes but when you want to summarize a 4 hour long video meeting into 1-2 pages of text, gpt can do that much faster than you can too

[buoyant pewter]

Salvo copers be like: yeah guys don’t worry it’s really good as long as I hit my third and fourth shot but like none of the other shots really matter

[placid fiber]

Honestly I can not wait to be able to put inspiring barrage on my brautos, over hit and run

[buoyant pewter]

So I can miss my first two right

[placid fiber]

Hit and run just makes me willing to take the brauto(Aside from it vibing extremely well with my playstyle)...

[fleet zealot]

And you have to stop firing and let your recoil/timer reset

It doesn’t repeat itself if you continuously fire

[placid fiber]

Oh, I just realized I had this on my 1st zealot... and idk why, since the columnus brauto doesn't really interest me... unlike the graia brauto which kinda interests me

[fleet zealot]

Opening salvo is good on semi auto weapons, just outshined by headhunter/surgical+ deadly accurate

Oh for brautos

I only use agri

It’s simply a machine

[placid fiber]

Opening Salvo is nice on the Kantrael 12 lasgun... I only take the kantrael 12 lasgun on no ammo maelstroms, tho, lol

[fleet zealot]

Kanty 12 salvo reset time lowkey sucks

[placid fiber]

I mean... I take a bit longer to aim, sometimes, so I am getting the benefit from it more often than some people might

[fleet zealot]

And headhunter deadly accurate just no diffs it

Opening salvo+ no respite is like, a good blessing pair

[placid fiber]

Headhunter is vastly less ammo efficient than the kantrael 12 lasgun(and I only say this since this specific scenario is on no ammo maelstroms)

[fleet zealot]

Headhunter blessing?

[placid fiber]

Oh

I thought u mean the gun lol

[fleet zealot]

That increases your ammo efficiency

Cause it gives you crit

[placid fiber]

I mean... I have yet to get into the red ammo amount on the kantrael 12 lasgun in a no ammo maelstrom lol

doesn't matter if it is vet or zealot

[fleet zealot]

My issue with the mk12 is that mkia power crept it

[rotund shoal]

is heretical fun in rogue trader. first run? Im doing dogmatic now and Im loving it but I do kinda want to make fun sword and wield the fun bolter

[misty mason]

Have we got any Satisfactory dorks in here?

You mean this one?

[rocky nacelle]

@frosty herald

iirc yam is a rogue trader guy

and someone else in this chat

I think ice

[fleet zealot]

Yes

[placid fiber]

I would consider using that one, but, I know the kantrael 12 is good for muties as well for killing them in 2 or 3 shots if I get headshots

[rotund shoal]

Frog as well

[placid fiber]

Which... I am only taking the kantrael 12 for specials(tho I might use it rarely on a weakspot hit against elites)

[fleet zealot]

Tldr, mk12 needs a ton of investment to get oneshot breakpoints while mkia needs only a little investment for 2shot bps

[spare talon]

all of the inflasguns have been powercrept imo

[fleet zealot]

And it has more ammo, fires faster

[rocky nacelle]

meanwhile with the recon lasguns

https://tenor.com/view/light-rave-green-strobe-lines-gif-16230132

[rotund shoal]

yeah was kantrael mk12 every actually the best gun and power crept or was that just reddit hivemind

[placid fiber]

I do not doubt you that the 1a is better by a long shot to the 12, I just am more comfortable bringing the 12 since I've used it more. x.x

[fleet zealot]

So when it comes to meaningful specialist killing mkia just clears it unless you are a highly specialized vet

[fleet zealot]

It was the best semi auto besides like, bolter

[spare talon]

similarly to the thammer, it was mostly just the fact that enemy health and quantity got raised by so much

[placid fiber]

I'll tell you what: I'll get a m1a on one of my zealots or my vet and try it out the next time I'm on a no ammo maelstrom

[fleet zealot]

It all your oneshot bps you liked, had good ammo econ

[rocky nacelle]

the THammer user in a melee only maelstrom seeing 12 maulers and 3 crushers approaching them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfAG_bqZXgY

[fleet zealot]

While bolter got nerfed mk12 just got power crept, other 2 variants got buffed

[spare talon]

and the inflasguns got kinda left behind in terms of their purpose, they were a much more 80% ranged 20% melee weapon
but with how many enemies there now are, you cant be holding your gun for as long, especially not aimed in

[placid fiber]

I've honestly sold my kantrael 12 lasguns a lot since I very rarely do the no ammo maelstrom... and I wanted the dockets more immediately than I wanted the lasgun for the long run >.>'

[rotund shoal]

that reminds me I should play my deadshot/ft bolter build again. still slaps (kind of, but at least its fun)

[fleet zealot]

I quit bolter i aint reload canceling min maxing

I only play chaxe anyways

[rocky nacelle]

ok small side tangent

I hate DBarrel not fully loading in when I swap

(it has to do the snapback animation)

(even though the numbers are fully filled)

[placid fiber]

I... quit on the bolter so fucking long ago... even when it was pretty op on Vet... I still didn't use it ever lol

[rocky nacelle]

not the worst thing ever

just 1% annoying

[placid fiber]

It's just so slow...

If I wanted a slow and "powerful"(I say it with quotes since the bolter is a lot weaker now) ranged... I'd just take the flamer :/

[rocky nacelle]

just be fast and powerful

[rotund shoal]

those are not really in the same category

[rocky nacelle]

DBarrel gang rise up

[rotund shoal]

for me its just the feeling of the bolter. they nailed it perfectly. the sounds, the explosion

[frozen kernel]

How are you liking rogue trader? Obviously enough to do a second run but do you think I’d like it as someone who loved the shadowrun games but hated wasteland 3?

[rocky nacelle]

DBarrel isnt used to kill crushers, but I literally put one on it's ass mid overhead in a game with both barrel shots

peak

[placid fiber]

As far as how they are used? Not even slightly. As far as how long it takes to draw them(which is what I was getting at x.x)? They are pretty similar in that category at least >.<'

DBarrel is probably

one of the most fun weapons Fatshart has released

and its not completely broken

[placid fiber]

I mean yeah... even with 10% rending from the Vet's talent tree it is really mid against crushers... only ~600 damage iirc from the double shot

[spare talon]

im surprised
i thought id hate it

[rocky nacelle]

I knew i'd love it

the second they announced it

I always wanted a DBarrel

[spare talon]

i dont like the normal shotguns

[rotund shoal]

I also loved the shadowrun games and didnt like wasteland 3. First time playing it I quit pretty early cuz I couldnt be bothered to learn the rogue trader system (despite having already read both Rogue Trader and Dark Heresy only for the fluff). I got some help with the builds in this chat and now im loving it. I'm only in act 2 right now.

[rocky nacelle]

thats not the point

i literally said to use it to knock them on their ass

[ornate bone]

had tried playing rogue trader but it wasnt really my thing, not really a fan of games that put you in like super grandiose roles only

I returned to my roots, agri brauto

[rocky nacelle]

yea manstopper DBarrel can get crazy

Oh boy... my best bet atm for a no-condition damnation rn is silo cluster... which I really don't want to do cuz of how bad randos can make the very start and near constant special spam be... (I ain't doing mercantile with randos)

[rocky nacelle]

but its still not "broken" if you ask me

a bunch of talents from respective classes definitely boosts its power/potential tho

[fleet zealot]

It is on vet imo

[rocky nacelle]

well they get infinite ammo

they

are cheaters

[rotund shoal]

I never play it on zealot. On vet I basically only have my bolter out for most of the match lol. Dodge sliding is essential

[rocky nacelle]

.

[placid fiber]

On my Vet I have a brauto, db shotgun, autopistol, and revolver for my ranged options <.<

[rocky nacelle]

inherently DBarrel isnt broken imo

[fleet zealot]

Bolter just needs the variants launched

[placid fiber]

For my zealot? I have an autopistol or a brauto...

[fleet zealot]

So zealot can have their magdump bolter and vets can have their aiming bolter

Right now we have a bastard middle child

Plays like it wants to be magdumped, damage stats like a crit finesse weapon

[rocky nacelle]

I only want to level vet so I can meme with DBarrel and Bolter

It feels like the gun was made for that keystone

[frozen kernel]

That’s awesome. Ironically my biggest issue with Wasteland 3 was how each character was best off focusing on ONE skill, rather than having 2 or any kind of spread. Like if you wanted to roll a sniper, you HAD to build your character a very specific way, but if you didn’t know that you’d just feel strangely unsatisfied for the first half of the game until you realized you messed up because nobody has leveled Weird Science or Toaster Repair

Honestly I just dont enjoy crpg combat in general. Which is funny cuz its literally one of my favourite genres. Rogue trader combat is at least flashy so I like it. You cast lightning at a groupp and they fkin explode. You shoot a burst of bolter fire and it decimates a bunch of heretics. Stuff ike that.

also the first game that hit me with the (the final boss is just you with the same moves and everything) another trope i love

[rotund shoal]

Although honestly just blending all the mechanics of WOD games together wont work. Werewolves is basically a combat simuator, vampire is a social simulator, mage is zany wacky "convince the GM Paradox/Time can do everything".

Promethean is "Im depressed and the universe hates me"

I never played a lot of VT2. I played the first one, never got to play with the friend who got me the second so I never touched it, and then fell in love with Darktide.

Imo DT feels like the reason for failing at high level is because the director spawned a fuck load of crushers and your team failed the skill check.

VT2 feels like the reason for failing at high difficulty is standard L4D negligence. Basically one person got nabbed and it starts a whole chain reaction of everything going wrong, which I think feels amazing to come back from
