You started it

[carmine lance]

maybe if I go into it expecting it to be slop and bad, I can have fun...

[robust bane]

I funny bleed + snekay zealot knife build.

[visual stream]

If I was a vampire whose "normal attack" horrifically splatted a guy into a wall, I would be hitting these techs too

[robust bane]

All bleed blessings on my weapons too :3

[delicate shadow]

warframe looks really weird nowadays

[distant lantern]

I'm making a relic blade with martydrom + FOTF build. Is it worth speccing into scourge (10-30% crit on hitting bleed enemies) and enduring faith? Or do i go for more damage.

[sullen forge]

So who’s gonna witness the suicide watch of people begging for Ratling as the next class when FS has openly said they do not want to mess with height differences anymore

[misty nova]

Crane if he locked in

[heady rapids]

dont get scourge rn it's bugged

[carmine lance]

you know you have a great lobby when someone gets barreled, and then everyone goes down and starts bickering with each other

[heady rapids]

otherwise yes

[visual stream]

https://tenor.com/view/adnventure-time-sick-hasta-hasta-olmak-gif-19878951

[heady rapids]

not scourge but dots & fotf

[visual stream]

How is it bugged?

[carmine lance]

I just said "you both suck" to shut them up, and then I get hit with "congrats on the throw, moron"

[distant lantern]

how so, i think i'm getting increased crit rate looking at my stats

[heady rapids]

dots consume fotf's attack bug

[carmine lance]

I was the only one actually focused on the game lmao

[heady rapids]

so

[visual stream]

Ewwww

[heady rapids]

your bleed can take your +100% dmg 100% rending whatever

[visual stream]

How does that happen I wonder

[distant lantern]

lmao

[heady rapids]

i have no idea

[visual stream]

Okay but one tick of anti-carapace bleed

So I left while my roommates were watching out for the movers

And you know how that shit turned out

aight hmu if you'll be on today

[sterile stone]

Tragic

Guess it’s back to grinding out SM2 til I get a console

[carmine lance]

will do!

[opaque island]

might be good for people who arent invested in the masquerade games/lore, like if its your first jump into the world, but if you were hoping for a true blue sequel to bloodlines 1 this is not in from what im hearing

[sterile stone]

I mean idc about lore

[carmine falcon]

what the fuck youtube

[gray ice]

We're lucky the game came out at all at this point

[sterile stone]

Ooooh speaking of vampires

lmfao

[opaque island]

Bro I met a witch today

[heady rapids]

you have to watch it now

[gray ice]

I knew it wasn't gonna be shit compared to the first

[frosty herald]

why do you want to get a console if you have a pc?

[gray ice]

hwat

[frosty herald]

ai thumbnail slop

[sterile stone]

Tall black lady with like a cape and weird hat

Wearing all black

And she had this staff she was carrying

[carmine falcon]

i watched 5 minutes and it was too sophisticated for my brain

[gray ice]

Riding a broom?

[sterile stone]

With this large ass crystal at the top

Nah idk what the fuck it was about

It was like some Skyrim staff

She was nice lady tho

[formal umbra]

He'd get his ass beat by basically anyone next question

[carmine lance]

yeah the title is greatly misleading

not even same style of game

[gray ice]

Did you get the digits for the owl delivery?

[carmine lance]

vtmb 1 was an honest to god, full on attempt to convert vtm as a setting and tabletop system into an rpg

[sterile stone]

Did not, she was a older lady and she had a husband or something akin to a husband

[gray ice]

A thrall

[sterile stone]

If I get a witch I want one around my age range

[frozen kernel]

Feels like a weird knockoff Dishonored 2, which might not be bad for people who aren’t big fans of the OG

[formal umbra]

I really wanna know what the fuck happened behind the scenes of vtmb2

[frozen kernel]

They scrapped the entire thing and swapped studios

[carmine lance]

I'm still so fucking baffled that humanity isn't even a mechanic in vtmb2

[frosty herald]

a very very long period of being handed over to different studios

[opaque island]

at least the writing in DH2 wasnt garbo

[formal umbra]

Yeah

[carmine lance]

like why still call it vtmb if it's an entirely different game

[opaque island]

since when would an elder vampire use the fucking word normie

[frosty herald]

i also believe none of the og devs even worked on the game anymore

[formal umbra]

Like I wanna know what the development hell was like

[sterile stone]

1. I’ve got a metric fuckton of friends on console and 2. I really wanna play battlefield and I’m not fucking with any bios settings to play it

[gray ice]

Counterpoint if you aren't a big fan of the first, what're you doin wit the 2nd?

[frozen kernel]

Lots of people hop on board for a game’s newest title. See The Witcher 3

[frosty herald]

masquerade 2 doesnt seem like it was made for fans of the first

[formal umbra]

Like literally who the fuck is this game for

[opaque island]

witcher 3 was actually a good game though

[sterile stone]

So me

[formal umbra]

It's ok to be wrong

[carmine lance]

it really wasn't

[opaque island]

look, if you wanna give it a go, by all means, this does not seem like what i wanted

[frosty herald]

its very dated

[opaque island]

thats why i said good and not great

[gray ice]

That was moreso a mechanics pivot tho. The first witcher feels pretty awkward to play now, the 2nd one was in a similar boat.

[formal umbra]

I love jank feed me eurojank

[frosty herald]

the leveling is kinda eh for me

[sterile stone]

I’d watch yourself, that’s blasphemy in some corners of the internet

[frosty herald]

cyberpunk's unleveled world is now absurdly enjoyable

[heady rapids]

and buggy... but that's a given for a cdpr title lol

[gray ice]

If you liked the first two is was prolly mostly story that carried that for you, witcher 3 was a legitimately pretty good open world game on its own for once and then also had great story, characters, etc

[frozen kernel]

The main character just acts so…wrong for an elder

It was such a strange decision to go with

[opaque island]

witcher 3s strong suit is not the gameplay, its the writing and characters

[carmine falcon]

witcher 3 will always be timeless because of the story

even if the combat didnt age all that well

[gray ice]

The investor tears trying to get literally any return in investment

[frozen kernel]

The gameplay just also happens to be peak

[opaque island]

eeeeeeeeeeh

[gray ice]

Errrr

[heady rapids]

neither did the exploration aspect

but yeah the game is alright

[gray ice]

It's the best of the 3

[heady rapids]

not a high bar

[gray ice]

It's a bar high enough for what the game wanted to accomplish

[carmine falcon]

the exploration is goated cause the world is prettyyyy

[frozen kernel]

Yeah I’d agree with that

[heady rapids]

that has nothing to do with actual exploration

i mean a lil bit

[frozen kernel]

For the time it was pretty great. Rewarded mechanical skill as well as your time investment gathering materials

[heady rapids]

but doesnt matter enough

[carmine falcon]

idk witcher is one of these games where if u wanna go full mode u can find many faults but its the sum of its part

[frozen kernel]

TW3 just has an abysmally dogshit early game

[gray ice]

[carmine falcon]

if witcher 4 is as fluid as cooberpunk combat wise then we ballin

cyberpunk combat is so fucking fun

just moving around and beating up dudes

also insane build variety

[gray ice]

Took a long road to get there

[heady rapids]

ue5 slop! ue5 slop!

[carmine falcon]

bro trust nvidia is gonna give them their hyper super secret engine with no stutters

[heady rapids]

witcher 4 devs found dead from crunching

oops

[formal umbra]

ue5 and it's consequences

[opaque island]

im not gonna play witcher 4 cause i dont wanna play as a w*man 🤢

/s

[heady rapids]

TRRRRRRUTH NUKE

[formal umbra]

Chat should I get a sub sandwich or Chinese food

[carmine falcon]

i'll play if they give her big tits

[opaque island]

there WILL be mods, no doubt

[carmine falcon]

mfs lusting over ciri out of all people

[heady rapids]

should be lusting over zoltan

yall fellas ever heard

of

cirilla gif

[hazy kite]

[carmine falcon]

what is that

[opaque island]

https://tenor.com/view/witcher-4-ciri-witcher-4-ciri-witcher-cirilla-gif-10673745472080277855

i just cant believe people see this and think she's ugly

[gray ice]

Ue5 and it's consequences seem to be dev related

[heady rapids]

its a bait gif that has cirilla almost nude

but when you open it

its geralt and zoltan

doing

things

[carmine falcon]

they cherry picked an akward ass angle of her being angry and went ballistic

[opaque island]

as is the style

[carmine falcon]

u can make anyone look bad with the right angle

lmao

[opaque island]

at the time

[hard nexus]

what would u get

for chinese food

[gray ice]

She looks great angry too id let her punch me so I still don't see what they mean

[heady rapids]

i really hope they let you play snowball fights in 4

[carmine falcon]

also keep in mind this is a cgi model and in witcher 3 geralt does not look like the cgi trailer models

buncha fkn goofs

[formal umbra]

Probably orange chicken, chow mein, fried rice, and something else, idk yet

[gray ice]

General tsos all day

[formal umbra]

Oooo general tsos sounds good ASF rn

[carmine falcon]

she doesnt look like a super model so she's ugly

[gray ice]

I will only lead you to the promised land

[heady rapids]

true this is how he looks ingame

[median steeple]

pubby

[hard nexus]

hrm,,, no teriyaki chicken?,, then i say sub

[gray ice]

Get that shit extra crispy with a lil sauce on the rice

[opaque island]

kek

[hard nexus]

awwwoooooo

guys can u all appreciate the beauty of this

[heady rapids]

but regardless

i still think witcher 3's strongest parts were in the dlc

[opaque island]

i will ascend to a higher plane of existence and escape

[opaque island]

oh no question

[gray ice]

I remember this happening with aloy in horizon

[hard nexus]

@royal vortex @median steeple thoughts?

[carmine falcon]

yeah no doubt

[gray ice]

Genuinely made me laugh a couple times

[carmine falcon]

the dlcs are peak

[formal umbra]

terminal grummz brain

[opaque island]

OMG SHE HAS PEACH FUZZ ON HER FACE, mfers be self reporting

[carmine falcon]

phantom liberity is also best thing in coooberpunk

[opaque island]

never seen a real woman irl

[carmine falcon]

that shit was the most unemployed drama ever

[formal umbra]

Literally

[carmine falcon]

woha, character that was never hot is not hot in the sequel

wowzaaaaa

[gray ice]

This floor is made of floor

Astounding

[opaque island]

i mean not hot sure, but still attractive imo

[carmine falcon]

oh no a dev chose to go for a realistic face that isnt attractive quick burn them down

[formal umbra]

I genuinely cannot understand getting angry over horizon, the most nothing franchise to exist in ages

[opaque island]

its kinda hard to be hot in a post apocalypse trying to save the world

[gray ice]

[heady rapids]

real and they released the sequel at the same time as elden ring

[hard nexus]

it has some commentary on late stage capitalism and human greed but otherwise i agree

[opaque island]

I think its good and fun :sad:

[carmine falcon]

eh she looked ok i just never found alloy attractive and i dont think her design is meant to be super model tier or whatever

[formal umbra]

when are we getting female ogryns that look like this

[gray ice]

First one was fun, still haven't finished the 3nd

Giant robots open world concept was solid tho good fun

[carmine falcon]

first horizon is solid yeah

[opaque island]

the writing is kinda ass at times in Horizon, but the gameplay is what carries it for me

[gray ice]

Combat was very enjoyable too

[obsidian prairie]

Combat is cool till you find the meta

[formal umbra]

yeah it's fun enough I totally understand why it's successful

[hard nexus]

it is fun but the games don’t have much of a theme behind them

[gray ice]

Like I like the 2nd one but it's pretty meandering. The story of the first one was more cohesive and better at driving you forward imo

[obsidian prairie]

Which is ice bomb -> 3 arrow jump shot

Forever

[hard nexus]

just don’t use the meta then,,

[heady rapids]

idk why'd they decide to make a whole ass game about a char from genshin impact

[carmine falcon]

horizon's lore was the coolest thing about her

it

[opaque island]

this works less on higher difficulties

[carmine falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/hit-on-the-head-emoji-bat-gif-15059031914441491340

[heady rapids]

yk what the best game of all time is

shadow of war............

[gray ice]

Pong

[opaque island]

well the theme is that rampant capitalism is bad nad having one egoist with so much power couuld end up ruining the entire world

[carmine falcon]

WARNGER BROS WHERE'S MY GAME WITH NEMISIS SYSTEM

[hard nexus]

i have both shadow of war and mordor i just have to go finish them

[carmine falcon]

oh wait they cancelled it

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-8470516175995282617

[opaque island]

shadow of war is peak, but its hard for me to replay it and get to the fun parts again

[gray ice]

Don't worry warner bros is for sale

[opaque island]

tutorial ass missions for the first half

[lethal gate]

Hello zealots

[gray ice]

Finished Mordor couldn't be assed to do War

[lethal gate]

Is there an ogrynomicon but for zealots

[heady rapids]

war is like 20x better than mordor

better in every way

[opaque island]

and like maybe we should help each other instead of hating and trying to kill each other, oh and sometimes violence IS the answer

[gray ice]

Having to lvl my low level orcs to defend strongholds was not a great loop when early game stuff started getting sacked by mid-late game stuff

[opaque island]

this sounds counter intuitive but man, some people just cant be reasoned with

[heady rapids]

who are we killing today

[formal umbra]

You

[ripe quest]

Nothing quite like the Ogrynomicon but there are resources in pins.

[gray ice]

[opaque island]

still hard to get through the missions in the 1st half trying to unlock all the shit like controlling the orcs and beasts and shit in war

[carmine falcon]

dont worry no need for zealot guide

people already made THE BUILD TM

but on the new tree

[heady rapids]

yesssssssssssss

finally

[carmine falcon]

i swear to god every single build i see is the exact same

[heady rapids]

the build

[carmine falcon]

actually cursed

[opaque island]

do the other classes have the build problem

[ripe quest]

I see the same build a lot and it's just people running the old The Build on the new tree

[opaque island]

couldnt be me, wouldnt be me

[gray ice]

Be a real zealot, play Marty thrive on 4 hp

[heady rapids]

rate my build chat

[gray ice]

Winnable/10

[opaque island]

need more sunflowers

[ripe quest]

Yeah checklist clusters are vulnerable to metas. You can just grab what is good and what you want, the modern designs make it difficult to prevent that.

[heady rapids]

im getting there

[ripe quest]

Thankfully though people are dumb and often don't know what's actually good

[carmine falcon]

oh no not even talking about the crit build
The pathing is just the exact same in like 10 builds i looked at from random people here before they choose a keystone

its pretty funny

[gray ice]

Should've observed it unbricked nerd

[sterile stone]

I was looking through my stuff for my pc parts and I found the most light skin thing in the world

Figured you’d get a laugh out of it

[gray ice]

He boutta out himself I'm ready

[carmine falcon]

also idk building these new trees is pretty easy
hmmm do i take EXTRA 500% DMG or "get a job irl on a perfect block stacks 20 times"

[heady rapids]

set for life

[gray ice]

I'm printing this out

[opaque island]

need more sunflowers

[sterile stone]

I was like

When the fuck did I get a gold black rose

Then I remembered

[modern lintel]

fried

[sterile stone]

I had a whole certificate and everything saying it’s a real gold dipped rose

[gray ice]

He's been prepared to be someone prom queen just in case

I'm sick

I respect the hustle

[sterile stone]

I’m fed up with your nonsense

I ready to throw hands

[gray ice]

If you have a certified gold dipped rose be grateful it's only this

I should be flash frying you right now

[sterile stone]

It was a younger me

I’ve grown older since

[gray ice]

In the fuckin adidas box I'm tripped

[opaque island]

why do all these websites and shit like discord and youtube keep changing their UI that works perfectly fine and doesnt need changed

someone explain it to me

[sterile stone]

They wanna keep up with trends

[gray ice]

Because someone has to look busy in these departments

[opaque island]

I dont think ANYONE cares that much about how the video player in youtube LOOKS

just that it WORKS

its not bad, i just wanna know WHY they change it so minisculely

[calm charm]

Man, I feel like knife is lowk powercrept

[opaque island]

like its not even THAT different

why change it at all

[sterile stone]

I’m still fuming over discord getting rid of number IDs on usernames

They wanted this Twitter shit

I’m sick of it

[gray ice]

Yea that was a lil unnecessary imo

[gray ice]

How so

I mean dueling sword exists

[formal umbra]

It was such a good system but they decided to go back to the abysmal dogshit system literally every other site uses it's terrible

[frosty herald]

Discord didnt want to put in effort to increase the number count to 5 numbers

[opaque island]

I Miss when websites had real personality, take me back to the early 2000s

[gray ice]

Too late, it's all corporatized

[sterile stone]

They corporatized the hood

[gray ice]

We call that gentrified

[sterile stone]

That’s true

Gotta stay fresh with the wording is all

Shit best case example is New Orleans

[opaque island]

Im on day 2 of no pot, and i gotta say, my mind feels clearer

[sterile stone]

I have faith you can cook many pan based dishes my brother

[bitter anvil]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1053823148048527440/1382070913973092464/slap.gif

[calm charm]

Thammer
DS
Relic blade

Evis

[sterile stone]

The pot is not the only cooking utensil

Sheeeit some spicy stir fry could go hard if you add the right stuff

[lunar fable]

frying pan melee when

[bitter anvil]

we got shovel

[gray ice]

All good choices but I'm not really using evisc or relic on shroudfield

[calm charm]

Evis no

Relic? Why not lmao

Relic with martyrdom been my go to lol, it can outdmg thammer

[opaque island]

Relic with Martyrdom becomes a solve everything weapon

[gray ice]

Way more value off fury for my playstyle.

[calm charm]

Martyrdom and shroud

[gray ice]

Relic with Marty is all I played for 6 months

[plush estuary]

ew

[calm charm]

O the shroud hater

[opaque island]

Martyrdom and FotF

[gray ice]

Before current changes tho, haven't touched this in a min

[opaque island]

is where its at

[calm charm]

Martyrdom and shroud relic blade >

[mystic ether]

Only real difference between thammer and relic is the output outside of shroudfield in my experience. Relic blade is just stable with less effort compared to thammer but thammer beats it out in sheer burst potential by an insane margin.

[opaque island]

Relic blade isnt a single hit kinda weapon i dont think, doesnt it benefit more from FotF?

[gray ice]

I dunno knife is still a mobile elite killer, I think it still serves that purpose pretty well

[gray ice]

100%

[heady rapids]

does running heavy tell you anything

[opaque island]

wha

[calm charm]

It has big ass burst potential with shroud n crit + the running heavy

[lunar fable]

@plush estuary are you doing the halloween assignment

[opaque island]

oh

the stab

[heady rapids]

the sprint stab?

[opaque island]

i mean yea

[mystic ether]

It can work well enough regardless tbh. Added it to my shroudfield collections.

[lunar fable]

i've missed it for like 3 years in a row now

[sterile stone]

You probably get a bit more sweat going if you’re heavy and start running

[opaque island]

still feel like there are better options

[gray ice]

The follow up attack speed is fantastic consistent DPS increase

[calm charm]

Mostly the reasoning is that you have a boss one shot button, and you clear waves/mixed waves anyways once you turn the sword on

[mystic ether]

It just can't beat thammer in terms of wider case use for blowing the biggest targets away.

It's less about what's better and what is actually possible in this case.

[heady rapids]

evis doesnt work with shroud

thammer requires you to run thammer (ew)

knife lacks horde clear

[plush estuary]

I just logged on

probably will

[opaque island]

too slow for you?

[lunar fable]

there's a permanent stigma around shroudfield for me

[plush estuary]

where do I find it?

I only got my weeklys

[lunar fable]

uh

apparently it's next week

[plush estuary]

I see

[heady rapids]

i mean the single target damage is offset by its overall slowness yes

[heady rapids]

just mod it...............

[sterile stone]

Is this what you’ve become

[mystic ether]

That's great because I'm a shroudfield/infiltrate propagandist with substance so guess you're s little screwed there.

[sterile stone]

Forsaken Darktide for deep rock

[opaque island]

learn to play slower and mroe methodically

[heady rapids]

on zealot

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-meme-stan-twt-suspicious-suspicious-cat-buckspendragon-gif-310094932943837255

[opaque island]

just cause its SLOWER doesnt mean its slow

especially with Martyrdome attack speed buffs

[gray ice]

Since flak adm changes thammer has been solid and Marty fixes slowness

[lunar fable]

there's a mission control face mask

[gray ice]

Feel the might of the mountain

[calm charm]

Ngl I play relic blade with shroud only because ion like fotf on anything else than evis

[sterile stone]

Bro is the boulder from avatar

[opaque island]

and FotF buff too, though i know Shroud is the better option for pure damage

[mystic ether]

And martyrdom thammer shroudfield is compensating for the attack speed. Plus, there's more atk speed steroids zealot gets now. And it has reach that competes with relic blade on a much simpler moveset. Just hit heads and have better timing and defense and you're golden with the mk2 at least. Never tried the other one to this day.

[heady rapids]

yeah but i can just run relic

and sprint stab?

[mystic ether]

If that's what you want to do, do. It doesn't exactly invalidate the other reality either with thammer by comparison. Both are gonna put in work with both build setups.

[calm charm]

I meant, mkx relic blade got a pretty straightforward moveset

[opaque island]

I wasabout to say doing the same thing over and over again is boring but you dot he same thing with thammer too

so

🤷‍♂️

[opaque island]

preference i guess

[gray ice]

Which lacks an uppercut and that is simply unacceptable

[mystic ether]

Not compared to thammer in this case. It's just a simple moveset.

[calm charm]

The only good thing about the uppercut one is the uppercut, other than that it's awful to use

[mystic ether]

But relic can be used in the same ways when one just knows what to do. All the extra stuff is just extra on top.

Thammer is like all light strike downs and horizontal heavy chains. Very easy, very simple and very stable.

Relic has more variety and direction within that is all

[timber ether]

i can think of the number of mk II eviserators ive seen since the xv came out on one hand, and one is myself.
crazy that it's racked up the most kills. is is really a launch playerbase thing, ya think?

[gray ice]

The flexibility of mk2 is shrimply great. You take this back

[heady rapids]

it probably is but i wouldnt believe fatshark data either way

[gray ice]

Nah everyone has preferences both are fine

[heady rapids]

they fuck up all the time with these

[mystic ether]

Which ie just part of the strengths of relic blade. And it has more advanced basic tech like switching heat and getting blocks and parries. Thammer has to rely on shoves, pacing and reach in a way relic can ignore.

[calm charm]

You have to fuck around to use it's full dmg, I just light for hordes and heavy for elites

[mystic ether]

I prefer mkx because I forgot the other mark atp lol

[gray ice]

The fuckin around with it is so fun. Maybe I'm biased cuz I play-tested it a while. Figuring out the chains and switching between them at will is much fun

[mystic ether]

It's not bad I just like the mkx more

[gray ice]

I like mixing heavy and lights to continue vertical or horizontal chains based on what I need in the moment

[calm charm]

I just don't feel like (for shroud), having to do 2 lights before being able to do the uppercut is easy to do in a horde situation

[mystic ether]

This one. It's closest thing I'll get to halberd from vt2 in terms of flexibility and complexity. Feels smooth to do and is extremely satisfying.

[heady rapids]

what for

[mystic ether]

You just do it the same way you use other combos and shortcuts fr.

It works just fine outside of shroud with no real issues.

[gray ice]

Just queue it when you need to and watch spacing

[calm charm]

To one tap the bulwark that's about to send you to the shadow realm

[heady rapids]

does it ignore shields?

[gray ice]

I pre attack for combos before a horde with some frequency if I want to start a fight a certain way

[calm charm]

Meant crusher

[mystic ether]

Aim up and poke their heads. Or just jump ig lol

[heady rapids]

why not just sprint stab

[gray ice]

Marty also helps here again, 2 lights is wicked fast and takes no time to set up really

[calm charm]

Been awake for 20 hours, 'scuse me

[mystic ether]

Because we're talking about everything that can be done and not just a singular strategy

[calm charm]

My point is

[gray ice]

Far as I know uppercut can still go under bulwark shield if you aim it right can't it

[mystic ether]

As long as you're not clashing with a shield push, yeah.

[calm charm]

It's easier to just hold heavy button than to fuck around for the uppercut

That's my only point

It's easier to use

[mystic ether]

Not hard to bait those swings on multiple bulwarks.

[gray ice]

I mean for sure mkx is absolutely easier to use

[calm charm]

Also I meant crusher not bulwark

[mystic ether]

You just squeeze in the extra inputs fr.

[gray ice]

I'm just gushing my love for my beloved

[mystic ether]

Both are goats. Shrimple

[calm charm]

Idk, the other moveset just doesn't sit with me

[mystic ether]

That's fine too

[calm charm]

Neither does thammer

[mystic ether]

Also fine

[gray ice]

Everyone not gonna like the complex movesets that's why we have simple ones

[calm charm]

When spear n shield for zealot

[mystic ether]

Sometimes I don't want to do anything but mk15 evis

I lament it yes but I know what I'm about

[calm charm]

It's complex for 10% more dmg

[mystic ether]

More than the dmg tbh.

[calm charm]

The only weapon im able and actually run with fotf

[gray ice]

It could be -10% DMG I'd prolly still be usin it

[mystic ether]

That's how you play with your range, your decision making, showing off, etc.

[calm charm]

You're sick in the head lmao

[gray ice]

A wee bit laddy

[mystic ether]

Tide games never really messed up in terms of having more loaded weapons still being able to hang and be good picks.

Again. Halberd mercenary kruber to this day.

[gray ice]

I've been around the block here, simple stuff is not always the most enticing

[mystic ether]

It's just about what the person is willing to do to get the same benefits and it feels good to do for the people that enjoy it.

[gray ice]

Crusher is my shit too. Love playing wit combos on that thing

[mystic ether]

Sometimes simplicity is way more attractive and that's okay

Ryu or Akuma. Shrimple

[calm charm]

I played exclusively spear n shield/assassin elf and unchained so I cant know

[mystic ether]

Ah.

[void bison]

https://tenor.com/view/frog-jumping-gif-23922460

[calm charm]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-screaming-scream-scared-gif-25251812

[heady rapids]

to be fair spear and shield had combos 10x as complicated as any dt weapon lmao

[mystic ether]

That's fine. Elf is my beloved character in that game but mercenary kruber with halberd is probably one of the most rewarding weapon setups in terms of like, getting rewarded for knowing how to use something like it well.

[void bison]

[calm charm]

The fucking

Hook spear on saltzpyre

Sucked balls

[mystic ether]

The harder to use weapons usually were fine but you just had to grind out the skills first.

[heady rapids]

its like one of the best weapons in the game

[mystic ether]

I've seen very different but that was a very long time ago.

[heady rapids]

but i have my special still bound to v

so i dont use it

[mystic ether]

So idk if anything changed.

[tranquil bone]

In what world

[calm charm]

In the moveset one

Idk I hated it

[mystic ether]

Hook bill saltz was really good last I played.

[deft badge]

Billhook is really good

[calm charm]

His rapier was enough for me to consider the character fun

[mystic ether]

I just never used it because I was doing other stuff.

[deft badge]

Like, up there with rapier and Axe+Falc

[mystic ether]

Yeah

I hated playing zealot but liked axe and falch

[calm charm]

Idk, light light bash heavy n repeat was what I was taught and it was pretty much enough for any cata

[delicate shadow]

billhook is really strong yea, I'm halberd gang tho because that thing is literally my baby

[gray ice]

Funnily enough I didn't get into vermintide too much

[calm charm]

Didn't spear n shield basically made kerillian the fastest character

[heady rapids]

yeah

[calm charm]

That is also why I used it the most

I dreaded not being able to sprint

[delicate shadow]

spear and shield I had some influence on too so glad people like it lol

[delicate shadow]

u should, it's goated

[calm charm]

Unchained with fire sword was fun to use

And sister of thorns had probably the most boring playstyle out of all of them

[heady rapids]

that's quite an interesting weapon choice

[gray ice]

That may still happen I'll have a lot of spare time with workman's comp here for a lil bit

[calm charm]

Unless we include graal

[obsidian prairie]

I liked mace with her

[calm charm]

Fuck you button

[opaque island]

VT2 is definitely more slower paced and punishing than darktide, in darktide you get hit in the back by fodder and its wahtever, in VT2 you die

[heady rapids]

real

[tranquil bone]

Mace was the only sienna weapon I ever actually liked

[calm charm]

• blocking in darktide is 360 or something

[heady rapids]

you also get a lot less mobility

[tranquil bone]

But I never tried necro

[heady rapids]

same in vt2

necro is fun with reg sword

& explosion on crit

[calm charm]

I genuinely don't remember tbh

Been a long time since I played

[delicate shadow]

tide has always had 360 blocking, you just eat more stamina blocking attacks outside the block arc of the weapon

[calm charm]

I quit right after the funny class for bardin got added

[obsidian prairie]

Scythe was weird

[heady rapids]

scythe is cool but i still dont get what the special is for

[delicate shadow]

scythe is fun on unchained, I do not care to play necro at all

[calm charm]

I wish we had pilgrimages in darktide

[delicate shadow]

it's just an aoe stagger

[calm charm]

And "tide games"

Arent there like

3

[delicate shadow]

yea

that's plural innit

[obsidian prairie]

They're basically a subgenre

[calm charm]

Calling it "tide games" makes it sound like a genre

[swift hearth]

it's really something when good helbore sights are locked behind skins

[heady rapids]

drg is a tidelike

[delicate shadow]

I mean...it kinda is a genre, there's no other games like it really

[heady rapids]

but without the melee

[calm charm]

It's just a horde shooter but melee

[frosty herald]

Doesnt the scythe have brainburst?

[delicate shadow]

"but melee" is really underselling how much of an impact that has tho lol

[heady rapids]

no

its the staff

but its like

[delicate shadow]

like killing floor has melee but it's really not the same

[heady rapids]

a pretty dog version of it cause you have to keep looking at the enemy

[calm charm]

Honestly speaking, in most of these horde shooters you can run designated melee builds

[delicate shadow]

yeah but NONE of them play like a tide game does

[gray ice]

This is like when soulslike started getting going lol

[calm charm]

Eh, fair enough

[drifting wolf]

same with l4d, they're there and they are still important, but they aren't as fleshed out as in vt/dt

[calm charm]

Isn't that because l4d is just old

And not really getting updated

[delicate shadow]

but like it's w/e I just say tide games because like, they're fuckin' tide games and there's 3 of them and I can't be assed specifying which if I'm talking about something that is universal across 'em

[heady rapids]

[mystic ether]

I just call em tide games cuz of the titles lol

[calm charm]

The most universal thing about them is teammates that have task management level of an infant

[mystic ether]

Otherwise they're just horde shooters.

With a lot of extra steps.

[delicate shadow]

this is multiplayer games generally

[delicate shadow]

we all out here matchmaking into people who include drywall in their 5 food groups

[mystic ether]

And honestly, fatshark got away with a gem of a flagship game design being tailored to a very specific experience that isn't that widely spread.

[heady rapids]

at least in tide games them dying is just them dying

not affecting you in any way

[frosty herald]

Celestine possessing a random sororitas

[mystic ether]

It's like a fps rpg with better melee systems but coop

[delicate shadow]

if the gameplay wasn't as good and unique as it is, these games woulda died a long ass time ago ngl

[calm charm]

I honestly nitpicked it for no reason

[mystic ether]

Yk what? That honesty is good.

Now, into the oil pit.

Farewell

[calm charm]

But yeah I couldn't put even half as many hours into killing floor as I have into vt2 or now dt

[mystic ether]

I never got into killing floor

[calm charm]

They are simply better

[mystic ether]

Still curious about it since it's nice to see how these things have evolved and what devs at the time cooked up.

[delicate shadow]

like if ever a company shows up that does something similar or nearly as good and it scratches the same itch while having a better content cycle and balancing...

[mystic ether]

Is kf1 still supported?

[calm charm]

Yeah it's like fun and gimmicky for 5 minutes and then you realise it's just clunky glorified cod zombies

[mystic ether]

I knew what I signed up for, np.

[calm charm]

Considering how kf2 flopped, probably yeah

[delicate shadow]

kf1 and 2 are (or at least were) good fun, 3 I haven't touched at all and I do not plan to

[mystic ether]

I think that's the one I got

Lf1

[calm charm]

Oh wait

[mystic ether]

From ages ago

[calm charm]

Kf3 flopped

I live in the past

[mystic ether]

It got gifted to me and the people I played with just not a thing no more

[gray ice]

Kf3 is what happens when you let the devs huff spray adhesive

[calm charm]

Yeah I played only kf2

[mystic ether]

For kf1.

[delicate shadow]

kf3 and payday3

[mystic ether]

I...tried to like payday

[calm charm]

I had fun with payday3

All these

[mystic ether]

Not my thing in the end

[calm charm]

4 hours that took me to do all the heists

[mystic ether]

I really wanted to like it but the experience isn't exactly what I wanted out of it.

[gray ice]

I put too much time into kf2

[opaque island]

payday 2 was really fun with a squad of friends, but randoms it was much less fun

[gray ice]

I regret none of it

[mystic ether]

I didn't really know it was on that horde shooter angle.

[opaque island]

same with KF

[delicate shadow]

I got like 800 hours or something in pd2, did all the DSOD shit...or at least all of the non dlc and whatever dlc I actually owned

[calm charm]

It's a game about stealing that's core mechanics is who can bhop better and who's more immortal

[mystic ether]

Thought it was more of a co-op small extraction thing.

[opaque island]

that goes for most games though probably

[mystic ether]

Not like extraction in the the most common form

But you got your heist, more tactical approaches and then you get your loot or whatever. Not big time shootout simulator

[calm charm]

The amount of dlcs for pd2 is ridiculous, considering that half of em is bought separately and bring practically nothing to the table

[tranquil bone]

I love these games to death but I still cannot believe nobody else has pulled off this combat system properly.

[gray ice]

I needa find more people to indoctrinate to Warframe so I can have a squad again

[calm charm]

I hate

The early game

[mystic ether]

I also wasn't really down for the progress of pd2 either so that helped me make my final decision.

[calm charm]

And the grind

[mystic ether]

That time for me has long passed.

[calm charm]

And I know I would pay money to just not wait these 4 days

I aint touching that thing

[heady rapids]

nothing will ever beat the feeling of clicking on heads in pd2 and seeing helmets fly

[tranquil bone]

I would absolutely throw money at a dev that managed to bottle the special sauce that makes these games work

[heady rapids]

nothing will ever come close to that

[mystic ether]

I remember surprising the dojo I was in with fully completing all research nodes over time all by myself because my speedrunning gig was that juicy and I was already a career mat hoarder because my builds where dumb at the time across the board

[void bison]

i have a lot of warframe time

[mystic ether]

I was in the real endgame: vanity collection.

[gray ice]

Fashion frame is true endgame

[mystic ether]

So the speedrun gig came in when I needed plat for useless crap lmao

[calm charm]

Yk what game I wish to be made by another developer and popularised? Absolver

[void bison]

i've been trying to make some scaldra looks

[mystic ether]

I made a shitton of plat off of lokicopter mat runs.

[calm charm]

Im sad it's basically dead

And the learning system was shit

[mystic ether]

https://tenor.com/view/mald-guy-gif-18778091

[gray ice]

I just finished building lavos out

[copper hawk]

@bleak ice it is done

[calm charm]

What

[mystic ether]

It had a chance but wasn't keeping up with the player attention unfortunately.

I miss it.

[calm charm]

I loved it

The character customisation, the different movesets, actually fun pvp

[mystic ether]

It was actually a lot of fun for me too be ause that was when I was just extra deep in weird fighting games off the strength of my other experience.

[calm charm]

But imho learning the moves killed it

[mystic ether]

That shit was so fun to play around with.

[calm charm]

The grind was ridiculous

[mystic ether]

And just do cool nonsense.

[opaque island]

being able to actually build your own moveset and fighting style was fucking peak

and the pvp was actually good imo

[mystic ether]

Kahlt method farming >>>>

[calm charm]

I got into the game too late to actually experience enough players to do it
