the rng is no longer on my side

[frosty herald]

if its a 5 star it might be the hardest quest in the game

[lean lark]

im only worried about 5 star temp gm

speaking of

[heady rapids]

@sullen forge so the dev of TBS did some dumb shit and it got taken down from modrinth, but he did say that he's gonna do a 2.0 that he'll think about the features of more thoroughly

cant wait

hoping that he optimizes it

so that it doesnt decimate the console with spam spawning and despawning shit

[placid fiber]

Welp, phase 2 of gearbox's fix to the dlc for risk of rain 2 is now out.

I'm going to wait until phase 3 is out before I play it, but, this is awesome!

[plucky gate]

I haven't looked at ror2 for a while. What happened to it?

heard something bad about the dlc?

how bad was it?

[opaque island]

was it actually bad, or did people just say its bad cause of gearbox and randy pitchford?

[frosty herald]

it took them this fucking long???

[frosty herald]

it was extremely buggy

and there were theories going around that the console version was ported to PC

[fleet zealot]

it was bad

[opaque island]

why would you do that?

[frosty herald]

because gearbox

like the dlc launch was unfathomably bad

[opaque island]

like the whole reason there isnt always a port of something is cause you gotta take the time and optimize it for that platform, and that can take alot of time and money depending on the engine. Point being no shit just porting the console version caused problems. Maybe i dont know what im talking about but it doesnt make sense to me

[stone fern]

I GOT THE BUG

i chastised backwards

[opaque island]

style on the heretics if you can replicate it

[opaque island]

is it something with the backwards slide?

[grizzled aspen]

It is.

Def not a bug in that case, the game was tracking the last target Clad moved towards while sliding and activated chastise as soon as it possibly could, so he chastised towards the burgle.

Source, I have dodge slid sideways and chastised into a target I wasn't looking at before.

[violet hornet]

Wouldn't be surprised if the occasional slight delay on chastise contributes to that too

[copper hawk]

your mom is blue

[rough galleon]

from memory they fucked up the engine a bunch as well, shot a lot of modding in the street
dlc released in august and they're putting out their second proper patch for it in march

[stone fern]

this means im pro right?

[hard nexus]

no ur still washed

washed mcgee

[stone fern]

that makes 1 of us

stinky

[grizzled aspen]

Absolutely not.

Post scoreboard or I invert your knees.

[stone fern]

i dont have scoreboard

i go by vibe

[violet hornet]

How do people even ask questions like that

I killed 4 DH, a cspawn and a bon bon in the same match yesterday I hope they weren't thinking the same thing

[stone fern]

unplayable

[stone fern]

i use ironhelm tbh

[violet hornet]

Yeah fuck hounds in general, great way to get cheated out of a clean run

[clever swan]

they might have meant that question sincerely tbh. like they tried th but it didn't work out so they wonder how others do

[violet hornet]

Shrimply bonk harder

[stone fern]

hounds are either a non factor or they cause a wipe never in between

90% someone with brutal momentum spawn camps them and kills 900 with one swing OR a zealot/psyker burn them

i swear theyre only fun for the very very few players that have the reflexes and ping needed to melee an entire wave mid air

[hidden grove]

depends entirely on teammates, good teams clear hound off you in seconds

pubs teams however 😒

[violet hornet]

I typically have either a flamer or an hsword and that definitely does mitigate a lot of the hassle (until the flamer needs reload anyways)

[violet hornet]

Para's goofy unending flames looking pretty good in a dog match

[acoustic dune]

thats one chaotic neutral way to hold a pen

[placid fiber]

They are doing a pretty major overhall of everything in the dlc... plus they might only have a very small team working on it. They had already massively overhalled the items and elites from the dlc and now got the dlc's boss overhalled as well

but yeah... it has taken a while for the stuff, you're right...

[heady rapids]

maybe ror dev team is located in sweden

[placid fiber]

Maybe they only have like... 2 or 3 people working on it.

[stone fern]

all it took was 400 hours of gameplay

i can finally use knives ok 30% of the time

[obsidian prairie]

Wait I have more hours than you

What

[stone fern]

i didnt always use knive s

[obsidian prairie]

Oh join date Jan 8th last year I thought you were older

[stone fern]

i was a stuns guy

also im 90% sure i dodged this

[hard nexus]

how many hours do you have

[hard nexus]

bolt pistol and tknives

[sullen forge]

Im sitting here wondering how the fuck

you let that crusher hit you

[hard nexus]

nah that hit

[drifting wolf]

i am lego man

[hard nexus]

they have deceptively long hitboxes

back dodging from crushers barely ever works

especially with thammer

you also dodged a little early

[violet hornet]

Ironhelm moment

[stone fern]

i hit dodge 😭

[stone fern]

i need a higher mobility gun

and since i have a thammer i have to go knives

[hard nexus]

no u do not

[stone fern]

yes i do

what would you take with ironhelm?

[plucky gate]

bolter

[stone fern]

why

[plucky gate]

it fires bolts or something, idk

[stone fern]

unyielding? thammer does better

carapace yeah maybe

ragers? knives

[plucky gate]

magdumping ragers is most of what i do with it

[stone fern]

bolt pistol is really good at sniping ragers from long distances because big boolet

[plucky gate]

the other times it's like special sniping

okay but would you rather snipe 8 specials or 15?

[stone fern]

boltpistol snips specialists just as well with better equip time

[plucky gate]

tknife cancel

[stone fern]

waste of a knife

[hard nexus]

quick way to deal with elite packs

[hard nexus]

kill an elite

problem solved

[stone fern]

im talking about knife cancelling

[hard nexus]

i never run out of tknives anymore

[hard nexus]

i know

[plucky gate]

sometimes there's just 20 fucking ragers that you gotta deal with

[hard nexus]

it’s not a waste unless ur doing it on like

one elite

and even then

you don’t have to waste the tknife

[stone fern]

happened last game

[hard nexus]

just throw it at the rager lmfao

[stone fern]

ye thats what i said

[hard nexus]

clad

[stone fern]

i have knives for ragers

what

[hard nexus]

i think ur just washed

and can’t use tknives

[stone fern]

u wouldnt know

u noob

[hard nexus]

use mk3 evis in h40

[plucky gate]

i think bolter would've saved 100% of the failed clutches you've posted here

okay nvm, i went to the last time i responded to your clips and you died to 3 crushers and a group of groaners
#psyker-class message

maybe there's no saving you

[stone fern]

cmon hoard bias sometimes happens

[grizzled aspen]

It's literally almost always crushers and he has over 50 rounds in his bolt pistol to deal with them, plus he runs around past ammo that's just chilling on the ground or in a box.

Genuinely, it's sad.

[stone fern]

reddit post

[grizzled aspen]

Like, bro, 4 bullets to kill one crusher isn't gonna cost you much if it means you save the match.

[grizzled aspen]

Ok, noob. 🚬

noob

u can see frog died here

[grizzled aspen]

That literally ain't me but ok.

I can drop the names I use for all my characters right now if you want.

[plucky gate]

wow frog why did u die?

[grizzled aspen]

And where their names come from.

They're all references.

[stone fern]

u renamed out of shame

noob

[grizzled aspen]

I've only renamed once, and it was my psyker so Lumii, Tau, and I could terrorize a random.

[plucky gate]

it says frog right there
why would someone lie about being frog?

[grizzled aspen]

We were UwU, OwO, and QwQ.

Originally, my psyker was named Cirilla.

[stone fern]

noobsplaining

[grizzled aspen]

My vet is Harkness, after the security chief in fo3, my zealout is Halflight, after the offline boss fight (the spear of the church) before you fight Gael in dark souls 3, and my ogryn is Throgg, after the troll of the same name in warhammer fantasy.

Cirilla is from the Witcher series.

I have no characters by any other name.

[stone fern]

my brother in the emperor

we all know who ciri is

[plucky gate]

i didn't

[stone fern]

noob

[plucky gate]

i forgot her full first name

[tawny walrus]

Ciri? The new witcher 4 protagonist?

[sterile basalt]

I have 3 of my characters named normally

Then my ogryn is called “goob”

[obsidian prairie]

She was a playable character in 3 she is not new

[tawny walrus]

I was just being a goober.

[obsidian prairie]

It’s the internet

I err on the side of people being stupid

[tawny walrus]

Understandable

[sterile basalt]

I kind of want to change my characters’ names tho just don’t know what to change to

[stone fern]

my chars are called I-LET-YOU-SOLO, CleaKeeler, Chapl-Taur, woman and mari krak enjoyer

[stone fern]

do you want warhammer, memes or random special intrests?

[sterile basalt]

Half funny half serious

[stone fern]

🤔

[sterile basalt]

I was gonna name my veteran Diabetes-II

[stone fern]

Olliana?

[sterile basalt]

So the killfeed is “Diabetes-II killed Bulwark”

[stone fern]

ok thats zero percent serious

[sterile basalt]

But I don’t like how u can’t put spaces in character names

Only dashes

Which kinda ruins the vibe

And not even numbers

[acoustic dune]

ok hear me out

what if zealots

were cool

what if zealot

ate a potato

[polar nexus]

Call him Smoking

[sterile basalt]

I also was gonna do chemical compound names

“NaOH killed Scab Gunner”

[acoustic dune]

https://tenor.com/view/cigar-smoke-funny-gif-25177516

what if zealots

smoke????

[polar nexus]

Zealot with smoke nades lol

[acoustic dune]

ok hear me out

what if incense nade

cause the enemy to fite each other

[tawny walrus]

That'd be neat

Bulwark on Bulwark violence

[acoustic dune]

ogryn on ogryn violence

imagine snipers start shooting in da crowd

[spare talon]

That'd be so strong
It would infinitely scale with density and would quickly get outta hand

[acoustic dune]

it would be funny

gang on gang violence

[plucky gate]

nah

they'd barely hurt each other

if damage stays 1:1 with how it works with players

[sterile basalt]

The highest damage enemy-to-enemy attacks are sniper shot and flamer explosion

[plucky gate]

enemies hit for like 60 and trash mobs have like 300 hp

the damage would be so shitty it'd basically be for disabling like a stun nade

probably dealing more damage with ogryn box

[acoustic dune]

pox burster

[plucky gate]

yeah so a 122.5 sniper damage shot
dealing like half a poxwalker hp worth of damage

[sterile basalt]

Is very funny actually cuz it only deals big damage to chaos horde enemies

[plucky gate]

how much do they actually deal when hitting allies currently?

[sterile basalt]

Does barely anything to the others

[sterile basalt]

Sniper can 1 shot trapper

Not sure about the rest

[plucky gate]

i wonder of friendly fire enemies have different adms for their attacks against each other

or if it's just a set amount of damage

[sterile basalt]

Flamer explosion is same 600 damage to all enemies nearby

It seems

[grizzled aspen]

I think they can take out a shotgunner too.

[tame sluice]

it's so goddamn funny to watch gunners mow down stalkers that have pushed up though

or dodging a sniper shot and watching a shotgunner get atomized

[grizzled aspen]

You know how commsplex spawns like infinite gunners?

Watching a trapper walk up that set of stairs with two sides and instantly get stunlocked by five gunners is hilarious.

[iron night]

Anyone down to help me get the shocking stuff penance?

Witnessing a sniper obliterate a trash mob or specialist is always the funniest shit

Stinkatrices...

[placid fiber]

Welp I fought the new surface area's boss in hades 2 and all I can say is: Holy Fucking Shit that guy is a MAJOR MOTHER FUCKING ASSHOLES...

Literally took every dirty trick I knew and all my death defies to beat it... and I had a fairly goddamn good run as far as boons went :/

Literally an invulnerability for like 10s every 15s wasn't enough to save my death defies x.x

I am forseeing a ton of runs dying to that asshole lol

[grizzled aspen]

Sounds like playing Hades 1 and being unlucky enough to get the Fury that has sawblades.

I'd much rather fight Meg or the murder one.

[placid fiber]

I was getting my ass kicked in that last area despite having a quite powerful set of boons x.x

[grizzled aspen]

Haven't played Hades 2, I probably won't either.

[placid fiber]

but jesus 2/3rds of the time being invulnerable and I lost 3 death defies :/

[grizzled aspen]

Hades 1 has enough content and a well enough gameplay loop to keep me content.

[placid fiber]

I would probably wait until it is out of early access. I haven't played Hades 1, but, I probably will eventually. From what I can tell the weapons seem more user friendly to me as a player compared what I saw from the hades 1 weapons.

Some of those hades 1 weapons would just get me almost immediately killed <.<

I have to say: I absolutely love the melee weapons in this game

[north sedge]

Yea true this chocolate cake was good enough probably don't need more dessert in my life

[grizzled aspen]

The only Hades 1 weapon I absolutely loathed using was the machinegun.

Fuck that thing.

[steel agate]

i mean it does have a big enough barrel

[placid fiber]

Well there's only 1 weapon I refuse to use in this game... so I guess I might find the weapons in hades 1 to be good, when I do play it...

Every other weapon I either love or have figured out how to use and now like it

[grizzled aspen]

The machinegun in Hades 1 had to be fired from a stationary position, fired in bursts of 3 rounds, with a 20 round mag (please make that make sense btw, considering its not divisible by 3), and none of the daedalus upgrades made it any fun to use.

The only thing that made it remotely viable was being lucky enough to get a daedalus hammer as your first boon and getting the upgrade that made your alt fire, which was a grenade launcher, do more damage.

[glacial bison]

Hei guys. Pilgrim here. Need some help with a penances “just a flesh wound”. If can.

[tame sluice]

simple

it's french

[grizzled aspen]

Yes yes I know about the FAMAS having 26 round mags.

But see, we Americans did this funny thing, and there are 30 round mags that a FAMAS can accept now...

(don't look at the 100 round mags we made)

(they are bad and prone to failure to feed, failure to eject, and double feeding malfunctions in all rifles they can be loaded into)

[unique girder]

Is there a faster way to level up these mastery weapons

I’ve just been doing damnation quickplay was just wondering if there was a better way to do it

[obsidian prairie]

Buy green rarity weapons and sac them

[grizzled aspen]

Buy a bunch from brunt, upgrade to green, then sacrifice them.

[obsidian prairie]

it costs like 300-400k dockets and 2k plasteel per full 0-20

[unique girder]

Alright thank you 🙂

[obsidian prairie]

Its what I did when Unlocked and Loaded dropped

Instantly spent a small fortune to have a godrolled Relic Blade within 15 minutes

[placid fiber]

Did you have to go to where the shots landed to reload? Because if not... they managed to make a more cancerous version, at least imo. >.>'

I'd take that stupid machine gun any day over it :\

I'm not gonna say any more about it, just in case people don't want to know

[grizzled aspen]

No, you just had to reload manually after every mag/grenade.

[placid fiber]

Man I want that instead in this game lol

at least then I would want to try to use it :\

[grizzled aspen]

I fucking hate duelling sword vets btw.

I have never queued with a pubber vet that uses ds and isn't complete and utter shit.

I just mogged the fuck out of one with a skullcrusher thrust thammer.

[placid fiber]

Well... the very least I can say about that person is at least they had Thrust on it... probably 1/2 or more don't :\

[grizzled aspen]

They were using uncanny relentless strikes lmao.

I'm either running a charge blade agro build or a hunting horn bombardier build
Atleast till I get those hunting licenses

Then it's wound open season

how do you do the multi quest investigations btw

[frosty herald]

https://tenor.com/view/fishing-gif-11430717

[frosty herald]

Wdym?

[lean lark]

do i need to bring one mon close to the other and then its get saved in field investiagtion?

[frosty herald]

No

You can save investigations from the world map

And it tells you if theres a multi monster investigation in the locale info on the world map

Do your best to search for multi monster quests with arkveld

Those give a huge amount of rewards

And might be the best way to deco farm

[lean lark]

apparently im missing some side quest for it

[polar nexus]

i was actually sleeping

[acoustic dune]

erm i was also a sleep?

[frosty herald]

Oh

Yeah do the side quests until you get double tempered ones

Do 1 double tempered side amd it unlocks multi

I dont know if it even exists

But the hardest quest would have to be ||tempered gore magala and tempered arkveld||

[lean lark]

it does exist

i was doing a tempered gm hunt and a temp arvkeld popped out of nowhere and they had a turf war

4 star gm 3star ark

[frosty herald]

Im talking multi monster investigation

[jovial cosmos]

I like how zealot chat is now just mh chat

[lean lark]

has to

[frosty herald]

Not enough rewards for me😌

My arkveld multi investigations give almost 3 full pages of gems

[lean lark]

@frosty herald ok so after spending 9k points resting i have not gotten a temp ark +gm hunt, but i found an alternative (that being you investigate both when they're on the same area, so you can technically "multi hunt" them)

so ill just keep farming my 9 decor temp jd

[frosty herald]

Never doing tempered arkveld with chargeblade again

You need hammer for hit and run

[lean lark]

hop on the 5star temp jd decor farm

[frosty herald]

here is my hunter ID

Didnt cart tho

[lean lark]

yeah he hurts a lot

only 5 star temp that doesnt hurt a lot is arkveld

its worth it tho, i can solo it on average like 16mins and i get 9 decors per

🤫

[lean lark]

easy ahh hunt for 14 decors

[frosty herald]

with a lucky voucher you get a dumb amount of rewards lol

Are attack up decos as rare as they were in world?

I got +40% damage to it from the 1st athena boon, which I am really thankful for

[grand tangle]

I always felt as though the bow was strongest

[misty nova]

I just couldn't vibe with it

[grand tangle]

If you can consistently send timed shots downrange and get the anvil upgrade for triple timed shot dmg you're golden

[misty nova]

But the special with Athena was just invincibility field

[lean lark]

is this feels-based or objective

last time i played i remember the shield being the best

[placid fiber]

Yes

ooo, I can do the coward attack with this lol

That and I have no clue how to use 1 cast charge effectively anyway

[misty nova]

Infinite rail

With homing

[grand tangle]

Bow can legit one-shot everything in game that isn't a boss

Or miniboss

[misty nova]

I don't have a lot to say about gauntlets

So idk about them

[placid fiber]

Welp I knew I was gonna die in the next room so I went to charon to see if I could buy anything with the money I had lol

I got a key

[misty nova]

Hypnos

[placid fiber]

I'm honestly surprised I survived the asshoels with armor

I had like 5hp left or w/e after that encounter

Not having a sprint is kinda messing with how I try to avoid stuff >.>

Okay I can pet the doge, this is a 10 out of 10 game in my eyes now. Idc what bs I am going to face

Oh... the bow is pretty much like the one from rogue legacy 2... you have to release it after x time

[grand tangle]

You can't pet the dog and you can go fishing, 10/10 game for people who enjoy the simple things in life

[grand tangle]

It has a perfect shot time too, and that's what you need to spam to get the most out of bow

It's not that hard once you get the hang of it

[placid fiber]

It does 70 damage when I hit skele bro after I shoot as soon as I flash

I spoent my 10 shadow dollery doos on the damage upgrade

[grand tangle]

Perfect shots have a screen border effect when you do it right, also a different sound effect

[placid fiber]

yeah it does a slight flicker or w/e when I get the 70 damage shot

Kinda sucks that u gotta kill the enemy to get your cast back, but, it's just something to learn

oh the dash shot has a different timing on the bow x.x

[grizzled aspen]

Objective, there isn't a bad daedalus upgrade for it, all 4 types of swords are good for various builds, like poseidens sword dislodging cast diamonds, and the moveset is great.

[placid fiber]

Anyway I'm gonna stop spamming here and just start focusing on dying over and over to stupid stuff like spiked floors

[grizzled aspen]

Other weapons have bad daedalus upgrades and not all of their types are good.

[misty nova]

Real

Or arrows

[grizzled aspen]

And Hexagryph just sucks.

[lean lark]

i see

i just remember using the shield a ton

[grizzled aspen]

Shield was good.

[misty nova]

[grizzled aspen]

It just had some bad daedalus upgrades, and thats the only issue with it.

The fact that it could block projectiles while charging was peak.

Heartseeker special builds were kinda icky, too.

[placid fiber]

I'm honestly surprised I made it like 4 or 5 rooms in on that 1st run :\

[grizzled aspen]

Had to get specific boons to make it happen.

And you kinda wanted Zeus cast to run special Heartseeker.

Because you can't really crowd control well.

Spear and fists I can only say have issues with movesets, but they're fixed with having daedalus upgrades.

[placid fiber]

1 question, frog, rq: do the normal clay pots have a chance to drop coins or is it just gonna be special colored/gold ones?

[grizzled aspen]

Only the colored ones, but normal pots can have a sandwich in em.

Entirely up to you to smash them.

[placid fiber]

oh shit so I still need to destroy em all x.x

[grizzled aspen]

You won't get to later in the game when you put on the heat setting for a timer.

[placid fiber]

I was already doing that, good to know it wasn't wasted effort at least lol

[grizzled aspen]

Just be aware the sandwich is like a 1% drop rate.

By the way, the most broken boon in the game is athenas dash.

[placid fiber]

I'm gonna be real here: I am probably not going to use timer heat settings or I am going to put that off for as long as I can... I never timed runs in hades 2... I like being able to take my time

[grizzled aspen]

Well there's plenty of other heat settings to play with.

[placid fiber]

Which I am very glad of

[misty nova]

So you're not going for 57 heat gameplay

Smh

https://tenor.com/view/mid-its-mid-ugly-nah-gif-19839131

[lean lark]

@frosty herald this gives me hope .

it has to exist

[frosty herald]

yeah its def possible

also

i have found something quite peculiar

[placid fiber]

I haven't even made it past the 1st area for the 1st time(hell I haven't even fought my 1st miniboss either)... give me time goddamn it

[placid fiber]

I skipped the 1st miniboss to go to charon cuz I was gonna die after charon

[lean lark]

zorah-magdaros size bones

[misty nova]

Last time I checked (like 2 years ago) only one person has beaten 57 heat

[frosty herald]

dalamadur

[placid fiber]

You never know... with how much I played darktide... this is an actual single player game... so the only person I can let down is myself. That is such a fucking relief lol

[misty nova]

Just checked and more people beat 57

🫡

[placid fiber]

Oh good, I don't have the pressure of maybe trying to make myself be at the level of only 1 other player x.x

That means theres more hope for someone like me who has problems with top down bullet hell games(of at least getting to heat 20)

[slate notch]

Is Invocation of death worth for the relic sword?

[misty nova]

Always

[slate notch]

Also, what is the dump stat on relic?

heat management?

mobility?

[placid fiber]

mobility

heat management affects how many swings before you overheat, how long before heat starts cooling down, and how long before you can use the powered mode after overheating

[slate notch]

Thx. What about blessings? Sorry for asking, gonna try the weapon for the 1st time, I'm a rashad old timer

heatsink + energy?

[hushed knoll]

DARKPILLTHONY

[misty nova]

Cranial Rampage

There should be more info on pinned messages

[slate notch]

oh cool

[placid fiber]

There's a pinned message with a ton of info on the 2 mks :3

[slate notch]

Yeah, just found it, sorry for bothering, thx!

[placid fiber]

np

[magic basin]

is cranial really necesary? i dont feel the value

[slate notch]

Will it work fine in a momentum build? Maybe martyr better?

[placid fiber]

Relic works with ij and piety(I think the mk matters tho). I am not 100% sure about marty

I would guess that it probably does, but, marty comes at the cost of invocation of death/pious cutthroat generally

[fleet zealot]

It’s the best uptime blessing and gives a bit of damage as well

[placid fiber]

oh fuck I am 100% dead

[misty nova]

[fleet zealot]

Heatsink only gives that full % value if you overheat

[misty nova]

Oh yeah meg time

[fleet zealot]

And energy transfer is terrible unfortunately

[misty nova]

Just perfect block

[fleet zealot]

Rampage cranial is your best bet but

If you like edging and maximizing strength

Rampage + Energy Leakage

That’s what I use outside of havocs with hitmass increasing mods like gas and 21st

Then it’s wrath rampage

[fleet zealot]

Fatshark said no, have a fuckin cooldown

[misty nova]

https://tenor.com/view/joryu-kiryu-kiryu-kazuma-kazuma-yakuza-gif-6533375731384734170

[placid fiber]

holy fuck I got her to 1/3rd hp before I dodged onto a spike trap and died... zous' lightning on my attack + jolted does fucking work holy fuck

That was my 2nd run <.<'

Bow hard carry

[fleet zealot]

Like even if energy transfer had no cooldown it wouldn’t even be that super great

Like why fartshart

[distant yoke]

Hades 1 >> Hades 2

[placid fiber]

Dude that bow... the bow + lightning on attack and jolted... it got me to get the 1st boss to 1/3rd hp before I finally died to dodging onto a spike trap(this was my 2nd run lol)

[misty nova]

Get your hot breath away from me

[placid fiber]

I can see why they changed zeus so fucking much for hades 2... that would be so fucking busted

[misty nova]

It's always the spikes

[distant yoke]

My personal favorite in Hades 1 was the Fists

[misty nova]

[distant yoke]

Zag Aspect Fists

Absolutely fucking based weapon

[magic basin]

i find base uptime good enough while rampage+wrath giving more dmg and utility

[placid fiber]

I am fucking staying with this bow until I get more used how this game feels. After that I'm probably gonna focus that short hard, cuz the hades 2 melee weapons were my favorite weapons

[fleet zealot]

It’s keeping up powered state vs buffing the weapon in general, and cranial is the best at maintaining power and still giving a damage boost.

[magic basin]

what is the time gained?

[fleet zealot]

Oh luumi got banned

[placid fiber]

like 1.2s iirc or something like 1s... longer before heat stuff starts cooling at 60% heat instead of 80%

[magic basin]

thats very meh

[fleet zealot]

No we are talking about cranial

[placid fiber]

oh

idk about that

[fleet zealot]

Yea me neither i use rampage energy leakage

[placid fiber]

I blame bandit

for uh

not uh

[fleet zealot]

Cause im a rebel

[placid fiber]

informing cole

(idk)

[placid fiber]

I know, I know. Stfu and get back to focusing on hades 1

[magic basin]

https://tenor.com/view/yawn-boar-pig-hog-summer-gif-10546652396781305870

[fleet zealot]

Cranial is 30% less heat build up and 20% weakspot damage (the damage isn’t huge)

It fully applies per swing and the passive heat generation

[stone fern]

no update

😭

[grand tangle]

Fs busy playing wilds

[solar gorge]

as everyone should

[placid fiber]

Woo, beat he 1st boss on my 2nd try lol

All I had to do was learn the back tf away when she starts the pellet rain

[misty nova]

Surely there's no correlation and it's all observation bias

[lean lark]

out-rng'd once again my good friend

[placid fiber]

This bow is op... I also got the easier to time perfect shot at +150% damage hammer... <.<

[placid fiber]

that was my 1st attempt, I got her to 1/3rd hp before I died... >.>

[signal spoke]

Well time to re-do it all again

I need to get Hades 2, loved the first game so much

[placid fiber]

I did... I just beat her on my 2nd attempt. I didn't even lose my death defy

[signal spoke]

Now beat her 100+ more times

[placid fiber]

This is only my 3rd run so far <.<'

I am 100% sure that this lava biome is gonna murder me

[signal spoke]

Have fun with it

[placid fiber]

I'm actually surprised I've gotten this far so soon. I know it's a hard carry by the bow, but, still

This certainly helps, tho.

[signal spoke]

Been a while since I played and forgot how is the bow but I remember using most of my runs one of the swords

[placid fiber]

Well... the perfect shot isn't all too difficult(even less so with that hammer)... rogue legacy 2's bow kinda prepped for for this kinda bs lol

Dude... idk how I have fucking made it to lenny. This bow is omega fucking busted. :\

Wow I actually got it to summon the extra heads again a 2nd time before dying

[humble minnow]

Hell yeah

I know the shield was the weapon that carried me on my first run of Hades

[placid fiber]

That was my 3rd run and my 1st time against that guy... I mean... I've seen fights against these bosses, but, I can't remember any of their attacks

Bow synergizes with me way too hard, this almost feels like cheating lol

[humble minnow]

For a 3rd run, that's pretty good
You'll get more shit to get further in

[placid fiber]

2nd run had jolted and lightning on attack, that run had the hammer perfect shot and posiden... and I guess zap on the push back(that was my 1st duo boon)

[humble minnow]

Based

Aim.to get Duo
Pretty sure they're the strongest stuff you can get

[placid fiber]

I know the healing per room is gonna be clutch, but, I am feeling an impulse to just go full damage...

oh it maxes at 5

[humble minnow]

Greater reflex is goated

[placid fiber]

good point, a 2nd dash would be just what I need to dodge into more spike traps dodge into lava dodge into enemy projecti- goddamn it, I mean dodge shit

[humble minnow]

Try demeter cast with artemis duo
That shit slapped on the few run I made with it

[placid fiber]

I got that50% damage and the 2nd dash

Okay I know the shield feels like the obvious choice, but, fuck obvious choices I'm going the spear :\

[humble minnow]

All the weapon are good tbh

[signal spoke]

I dont think I ever used much of the spear

[humble minnow]

Just go for what feels right

[signal spoke]

the shield as far I remember it was pretty good

[placid fiber]

Ooo it has return damage as well

[humble minnow]

Zeus shield is the shit

[placid fiber]

I am gonna use it and die in the 1st 3 rooms this time damnit

[signal spoke]

Cant remember

[humble minnow]

Die in the first two
Like god intended

[placid fiber]

This ranged attack I can do with this spear is either gonna be god-tier or it's gonna be mid... for me as a player I have a feeling it will synergize very well with me

oh it has a spin attack

Dude this is a link to the past/gameboy zeldas

[grizzled aspen]

Except Hexagryph.

That thing is atrociously bad.

[signal spoke]

Isnt that the canon or rocket launcher?

[placid fiber]

I am loving this spear

I can just special spam enemies and I got the hammer that just gives me 3 fast jabs and doom on attack

[humble minnow]

I had some fun with it
But it doesnt feel as good

[placid fiber]

oh and I got uh this on my special

Man... I am having so much fun with this spear, too bad I need to go to work soon.

[placid fiber]

Welp I found my grave. I can't not take it since it is the first time I was offered...

I don't know which one is gonna be worse... my guess would be aphrodite tho

I might have been wrong but the double dash really helped with that x.x

[grizzled aspen]

Artemis is worse to anger.

[mystic ether]

If you want to have your dmg messed with, piss off Aphrodite.

If you want to dodge homing arrows, piss off Artemis.

[grizzled aspen]

Poseiden and Ares are the absolute WORST to anger, though.

[placid fiber]

Well... I pissed off the latter

[grizzled aspen]

If you get a room with both, choose to go a different direction.

Either way it's not gonna end well.

[mystic ether]

:^)

[placid fiber]

Funny poseiden is horrible in 2 as well...

[mystic ether]

Artemis is a little more basic to deal with in my experience. Simpler, really.

But I haven't really gotten super deep into Hades. I think the last time I played I was on my third attempt against Hades himself and messed up because I was sleeping on the adds and on the third phase I was bonked.

...I just realize I may have done a bit of spoilers. My b.

[placid fiber]

at least charon got me healed up the rest of the way. This thing is omega clutch. I also have charon's keepsake on

[mystic ether]

Noice.

[placid fiber]

Welp time to go die to lenny

[mystic ether]

Only deity I just slept on the entire time when it came to pissing them off was like, Zeus. Dude's a pushover to me. And I hate Zeus but whatever

Poseidon wasn't too bad to manage. Aphrodite only became real to me when I finally messed up and uh, damn. Artemis is just meh most of the time. Aries is fun, Dionysus once again should be taken more seriously because holy shit the consequences.

[placid fiber]

nvm I won without using my death defy. This spear is amazing for how I play lol

I think the 100 doom on attack really helped there

[mystic ether]

Spear is simply a fun weapon, honestly.

Malphon is way too hype for me. Beat ass weapon.

I think the only weapon I don't care about is the gun.

[placid fiber]

the spear and bow really synergize with how I play. I haven't gotten the shield yet

[mystic ether]

Shield last I checked is very good. Pretty straightforward too and its utility can't be ignored.

[placid fiber]

Welp sad that I can't experience the next area yet. gtg to work x.x

This game si hella fun. The 2nd hades was also really fun when I started it hehe

[mystic ether]

Supergiant makes solid games broadly-speaking. They really held on to the things they learned and developed from Bastion and Transistor for Hades.

I've never seen how Pyre plays, but I wouldnt surprised to find out that it's another isometric experience.

[humble minnow]

Hephaistos is the worst for me in 2

[static sky]

When trying to complete the sniper/stun grenade penance. Do I have to actually and physically peg the bastards with it?

[humble minnow]

You can peg him if you're into that kind of stuff

We wont judge

Promise???

Zealot is due for it next update if not 2 out

[heady rapids]

ok let me

open reddit

sort by controversial...........

[sullen forge]

If they manage

To nail the horde mode

[opaque island]

let us know how it is.... if you return

[sullen forge]

That’s a shit ton of replayability

[misty nova]

Ok lemme open steam discussions
Sort by dogshit

......

[heady rapids]

you dont need to sort

they're all dogshit

It seems like nothing wrapped in glitter. The same but with a different color. Nothing really new. Even vermintide 2 still gets more maps and customization than darktide

[fickle oak]

I hope this doesn’t flop 😭

[fleet zealot]

well

[sullen forge]

It shouldn’t

[fleet zealot]

is it?

[sullen forge]

That’s incredibly hard to fuck up especially with SM2

[heady rapids]

What we actually need are new maps, weapons, enemies, new classes or extra skill trees for each class and all you give us is rehashed/reworked content already in the game.

[fleet zealot]

I need limited time content I can easily miss if i take a 2 week break

[fickle oak]

I only logged on to do lethal and then stopped then came back for absolute, darktide just has a more addicting gameplay loop

[fleet zealot]

also i need a ranking system that forces me to play daily

[undone pewter]

I love this comment the end is literal gibberish

[heady rapids]

Ogryn update ogryn update ogryn update 🥵🥵🥵 woof woof aroogah

[sullen forge]

People doomposting about the update

[hard nexus]

i think as a stop gap, we should get what @spare talon suggested, and be able to “flip” some nodes, like keystones, aura, blitz, ability, etc

that way we get new abilities, but the general tree stays the same, helping reduce workload and balance issues

we should get new trees, i agree

but

for now

[fleet zealot]

"how will they nerf ogryn this time"

[fickle oak]

I’m curious though… how do most DT players feel about SM2?

[formal umbra]

eh

[heady rapids]

i really liked sm2

but it isnt as replayable as darktide

[fleet zealot]

shallow and less polish for a more flashier, casual experience

[fickle oak]

Like, I’m really happy with the talent trees and weapons here

[grizzled aspen]

Penances for reaching certain horde waves, modifiers that can change the game every few waves, you could have the maps all be open so you get the entire torrent, for example, to run around in...

[fleet zealot]

sure the marines and enemies look great

[tame sluice]

ogryn with PBB and vet ammo aura

[formal umbra]

good campaign, didnt care for the multiplayer

[tranquil saddle]

Is the desired stats on a flamer 60% ammo

[heady rapids]

but a lot better experience than darktide was on release, thats for sure

[fleet zealot]

but the levels are mediocre compared to darktide

[sullen forge]

I mean it’s fun? Not my cup of tea

I’m mainly looking forward to a horde mode

[pale spindle]

No 😔

[fleet zealot]

and the music

[fickle oak]

Okay yeah I agree

[fleet zealot]

the music is just so generic in sm2

[hard nexus]

check pins

but dump either mobility or damage

[fleet zealot]

no 60% damage

[hard nexus]

technically damage is a slightly better dump

[fleet zealot]

that to

[fickle oak]

Zealot feels more assault than assault does

[visual stream]

Kinda neat for a little bit but the interchangeable melee/ranged doesn't hold a candle to Darktide's, despite forcing you to learn a freak ass control layout for it when Darktide doesn't

[tranquil saddle]

I got a flamed that maxes out on like 80% damage

[fleet zealot]

damage doesn't do anything for flamer

[frosty herald]

good fun

[heady rapids]

freak ass control layout? did you play with base controls?

[fleet zealot]

it's only 1 dps on the direct impact

[hard nexus]

sm2 combat feels significantly weaker than darktide

[fleet zealot]

burn is where your damage comes from

[fickle oak]

What you do t like taking multiple bolted shots to bring down a gaunt?

[visual stream]

Yes, but even if you bind differently it still feels freakish compared to most games

[hard nexus]

nope !

[fleet zealot]

not even nurgle blessed enemies

[frosty herald]

sm2 has a very solid gameplay loop

[heady rapids]

idk felt fine to me cause i rebound it as soon as i started playing
it does feel gamepad focused tho

i had my melee on f

[frosty herald]

i wouldnt say its rusty but it isnt that flexible

[fickle oak]

yeah the control layout was really weird id rather just have them let us swap melee and ranged weapons and they get more room to have more movesets

[carmine falcon]

sm2 is fun as fuck

just paly it

[fleet zealot]

at least in DT, we have relatively less powerful gear and the enemies are nurgle blessed so it doesn't feel too off for the tankier enemies

[heady rapids]

i have rmb lmb to gun

and f to melee

m5 to parry

[fleet zealot]

SM2 is so many sponges

[heady rapids]

feels good

[carmine falcon]

it doesnt hjave the same nerdy depth shit but its fun ahh hell

[carmine falcon]

so alled spongy elities when i two tap them with plasma gun

[fleet zealot]

it would be more fun with orks

[visual stream]

When the heavy machine gun variant of a grenade rocket propelled bullet hits a human-tier enemy for a fifth of its health

[heady rapids]

week ass plasma

you should be 1 tapping them

[fickle oak]

dude DT plasma vs SM2 plasma is wild

DR 2-3 shot cleaves through a horde

[carmine falcon]

space marine 2 should not feel spongy unless u have a bad build and its really hard to have a bad build cause there's like 1 good build for each class

[fickle oak]

DT* plasma

[fleet zealot]

that's

[heady rapids]

sm2 plasma
queue the heldrake clip

[fleet zealot]

that's the opposite

if there is only 1 good build

it's very easy for someone to make a bad build

[carmine falcon]

ig

point is all plasma weapons shred with right perks

[fickle oak]

I wouldn’t say spongy but the enemies are definitely tankier. And the weapons feel weaker than what they should be in lore

[carmine falcon]

and a lot of bolters are better now

[heady rapids]

bolters are fine rn

all melees are finally good

[carmine falcon]

from what i heard they modeled dmg after tabletop values but i cant confirm

[heady rapids]

after they buffed ps

[fickle oak]

They can do with buffing more, and adding a lot more enemies

[heady rapids]

yeah i agree

[carmine falcon]

agreed

[heady rapids]

chaos needs a new terminus

[fickle oak]

Then idk wtf happened with the melts

[carmine falcon]

the meltas are strong af
