[misty nova]

Where's Idira

?

[prisma magnet]

Which knife mark is the good one? I've been playing with the piety flesh tear lacerate build to give myself finger injuries and it feels pretty nice. But the knife feels like it's got a lot of combos to learn. Also, on flesh tear piety do you just light spam everything? Is the whole point of the build to just stack as many builds as humanly possible, or there's heavy/boss killing combos you wanna do?

[misty nova]

Mk6 is the good one
You spam push attack ad infinitum

[placid fiber]

Welp I found my favorite trinket in Guntouchable's experimental branch... Pair this with an automatic weapon and something like a grenade launcher and suddenly that smg goes from 10 damage to 30 something damage per shot <.<

[carmine falcon]

mk6 is more fun and bleed is a meme

[misty nova]

Also don't use lacerate

Knife likes Crits and weakspot hits

[carmine falcon]

go uncanny + one of the crit blessings

[misty nova]

Lacerate doesn't want you to hit weakspots

[placid fiber]

Lacerate sucks

[misty nova]

Which severely cripples knife

[placid fiber]

Even with my piss poor aim it sucks

[prisma magnet]

Yesterday The Zealots told me to go lacerate reee

[placid fiber]

Anyone who tells you to avoid hitting weakspots with the knife doesn't know what they are talking about

[misty nova]

Those were trash zealots then
Or they were engaging in a mild amount of tomfoolery

[prisma magnet]

Perhaps

[prisma magnet]

Either way, I wanna use this as a piety chorus weapon if that changes anything

Been trying out alternatives for ds on chorus

Tho i did an inexorable relic chorus yesterday that felt really good

[placid fiber]

No, it doesn't. The knife still wants weakspot hits no matter what keystone(don't use marty with it) or ability you use

[prisma magnet]

I gotta use inexorable more tbh

[placid fiber]

Just be careful with that bonus dodge distance on the knife heh

I've heard many a tale of people dodging off ledges with inexorable and the knife

[prisma magnet]

I hate marty unfortunately. I wanna like it, but I'm SA and forced to play NA, so half of the bursters i interact with are just a health tax

[placid fiber]

Marty requires a certain mindset and also a certain level of skill on top of that

[prisma magnet]

A certain lvl of

Not lagging

Marty on SA works just fine for me

But SA is a dead server

[prisma magnet]

But on NA I'll push a burster, dodge back

Still take dmg

[placid fiber]

ewew helps marty a lot, since it helps minimize chip damage more(cause of constantly regenerating toughness near enemies)

ewew is just good in general, tho, now

[prisma magnet]

I'm telling you this from countless hours of playing marty on na

Trust me

[placid fiber]

My friend used to always get hit by bursters when he dodge slid away from bursters, for some reason

You'd think it would help avoid it since you cover more distance...

[narrow mauve]

ping your local techpriest with this

[prisma magnet]

Literally quit the game last year due to how dead SA was, but how then fatmangus came out and it allowed to to kinda ignore some of the lag bullshit

Now i got fatmangus and piety mangus

I am happy

[placid fiber]

It sucks when the server you have the lowest ping on has no players

[misty nova]

It's actually ok for it
Knife has innate 15% critical chance so you can proc IoD more often

[prisma magnet]

Yeah

[prisma magnet]

That's nice

I will fuck around with it then

It hasn't been all that bad tbh

It's almost like playing dark souls pvp all over again

Having to play 1-2 seconds ahead

[placid fiber]

It hasn't been all that bad? Okay, now you have to fight person sized mosquitos

[prisma magnet]

You eventually learn the timings

[placid fiber]

[prisma magnet]

Lmao

Burters for example i have to push them when they're very far away

[acoustic dune]

[placid fiber]

Do you have the danger zone mod? That might help a little bit... not sure how well it works with ping, tho

[placid fiber]

You know what, Knify? Take my full auto shotty if ur gonna have that kinda attitude

[prisma magnet]

It did help when i used it, but the mods started to crash my game when i came back and i haven't had the patience to try and figure out why

[acoustic dune]

Gah

[prisma magnet]

When i tried to reinstall them again it was still crashing

But it's fine

I'm climbing havoc ok, me and my duo are on 31 now

We're doing good

[placid fiber]

Yeah... and that wasn't even my most op build, either. Just a good one

It will never not amuse me in guntouchables when I am able to reload the minigun in 0.5 seconds

It has a base 3.0s reload time <.<

[prisma magnet]

Back to knife tho, it's good to have stam curio with it right? Especially since push attack spam

[ivory marlin]

I mean

Youll want the same curio set up for most builds aside from like

[placid fiber]

You want a 410+ rated 3 stamina curio if you're gonna use a stamina curio. 400 rated 3 stamina curios only give 2 stamina

[ivory marlin]

Matry?

[prisma magnet]

Yeah i heard about that

[placid fiber]

It used to be 75 base rated ones that were fake, before they changed the rating #'s

[prisma magnet]

Is the mk3 knife just bad? I was swapping between them yesterday and the mk3 did have some ok patterns for just heavy spam

Not a fan of the push attack spam

Didn't feel good to try and kill stuff in a pinch with it

[placid fiber]

Some people prefer the mk3 knife, some people prefer the mk6. Technically speaking the mk6 knife has a higher maximum dps from push attack spam due to its push attack being a little bit faster, but, iirc the mk3 has a better single target dps outside of push attack spam

[prisma magnet]

Oh ok

So they're both viable

[placid fiber]

I do not like the mk3 knife

[placid fiber]

afaik, yes

[prisma magnet]

I see i see

That's good to know

[placid fiber]

inb4 ainz schools me like a scrub

[prisma magnet]

The regular chainswords are pretty bad right?

Lots of times I look at all the weapons we have and it feels like the scope of options is a bit limiting

[placid fiber]

They have a unique thing where(iirc) their crit weakspot damage has no falloff making them able to get insane horde clear

That's their main thing, horde clear

[prisma magnet]

But I'm guessing they suck vs carapace

[placid fiber]

I'm not sure how bad they are vs it currently

the sawing damages got changed a while back and I haven't payed attention to where it put all of the chain weapons after that

[prisma magnet]

I whacked the crusher a bit on the psykanium and it felt awful

But yknow

Could be I'm on the wrong build or smth idk

[placid fiber]

Did you use chastise right after the sawing attack connected?

[prisma magnet]

Only evis can pull off that satisfying one shot

This thing was sawing at it for a while

I wasn't on charge cuz I was testing chorus weapons

[placid fiber]

starts sawing a crusher
the silent trapper takes that action personally and nets you

[violet hill]

am i doing something wrong with crusher or is it just a fairly stinky weapon

[prisma magnet]

Every time

[placid fiber]

Afaik it's currently a good weapon on zealot. I don't know the specifics of how to use it, tho, myself

I know it's a combo weapon

[wheat matrix]

they're good at pure horde

but they kinda suck at everything else including mixed horde

[chrome wave]

it's a very good weapon

[wheat matrix]

U can use it BEFORE u connect nowdays i believe

[chrome wave]

despite how it looks the crusher is a weakspot/crit weapon. push attack is your best attack

[hard bough]

I think it's push into light

with skullcrusher

good damage combo

[chrome wave]

PA -> L is the single target combo and if you're out of stam you can just loop that L into H -> L -> H etc

PA -> H is the horde combo and if you're out of stam you can similarly just do H -> L -> H -> L etc

[median steeple]

idk why but seeing people complain about silver ult is so funny to me

[ivory marlin]

What about when nimbus said “shadow legion shmadow legion”

[median steeple]

you can just stop her from playing the game with 2 items that also counter every other hero

[solar gorge]

the problm with silver isn't really her ult but how often she has it

and how easy it is to proc

i think she needs mm longer cd and maybe less dmg on 1

if not longer ult cd more dmg required to trigger

[wheat matrix]

I think if they do that she'd need big buffs elsewhere though

She's balanced around having ult in each fight

[lunar fable]

@frosty herald gog was such a pain

on hammer

[solar gorge]

she has ult everytime she breathe

u can up the cd and she'll still have it for every fight

[wheat matrix]

it'd make skirmishing harder though

if you fight in lane and pop ult

you then have downtime where you obviously dont have it

and because she has no control over it once it goes off

[carmine lance]

You know I be styling on them hoes, strafe hop chasing people in wolf form and pressing 2 (they still hate crime me)

[solar gorge]

yeah u need downtime

it's busted that she has virtually none

u shouldn't win every skirmish cuz lol ult

[wheat matrix]

because her power is backloaded into ult

[median steeple]

Because they tried to make gnar without the good parts of gnar

[wheat matrix]

you either disengage once she procs it, or you burst her before she gets it

[median steeple]

which is his normal form....

[wheat matrix]

gnar has no good parts 💀

absolutely hitler design

[median steeple]

fym???

[solar gorge]

u can't burst her before sqhe gets it

[wheat matrix]

Gnar design is fucking abysmal

[solar gorge]

unless she's bad

[median steeple]

Gnars normal form is super fucking good and an insane laner

[solar gorge]

she burst u to get it

[wheat matrix]

yeah it is

every time he becomes a pro play problem it's because of mini

[solar gorge]

slver will inevitably catch nerfs cuz it's deservd

it is written

[wheat matrix]

isn't she negative winrate atm

[solar gorge]

shiv has a shit win rate and he's regarded as op by pros

pilot issue

[frosty herald]

i dont mind gog that much on hammer

[wheat matrix]

That's because in pro play he has a resetting ult execute

which basically means every enemy team member has a flat 20%? 25%? less hp

very different situation

[sterile stone]

Brother trying to break the bones of a goo dragon

[wheat matrix]

using projailed designs is NOT a good argument

same case with league

[solar gorge]

pilot issue

[wheat matrix]

it's not pilot

it's teams and coordination

[ivory marlin]

I like the voiceline when viscus does goo ball

[solar gorge]

which is a pilots issue

[wheat matrix]

it's about coordination, not individual player mechanics

All of them look like smth id enjoy aside for the tank one

I dont care for that type of gameplay

[frosty herald]

bungie for some reasn being super dedicated for marathon anticheat

whilst they dont give a shit about destiny 2

rampant cheaters and such

[ivory marlin]

I think they are trying to fix d2 very slowly

[sterile stone]

@gray ice Ayoooo

[ivory marlin]

But also they went “hey idiots we are pushing the new content back get fucked”

[ivory marlin]

Oh damn

[ivory marlin]

Renegades was a step in the right direction

Just wish they started taking the steps warlier

[median steeple]

Renegades is pretty good besides portal

but yeah I wish it was done sooner

also no portal

I think marathon will be good ngl

[solar gorge]

it looks cool

[ivory marlin]

Ill give it an honest shot

Mainly because the support class sounds sexy as fuck

[frosty herald]

bungie already lost the destiny playerbase as a market for marathon

purely out of spite

[ivory marlin]

Yeah

[frosty herald]

ill be playing requiem

[sterile stone]

I know how to get people to not play marathon

Mention AI had any involvement in the game

Watch people foam at the mouth and instantly shut the game down

[ivory marlin]

Ai had involvement in expedition 33 too

So like

Meh

[undone pewter]

I mean Marathon has a stacked ass cast which is ironic given their competitors uses AI voices lmfao

[sterile stone]

Yeah didn't 33 also get it's awards stripped from it because of that.

[ivory marlin]

1 award

[frosty herald]

also funny to see marathon's complete 180 public persception

https://klipy.com/gifs/jgmm-cat-meme

[ivory marlin]

Ill give it a shot

[undone pewter]

We'll we gotta see launch but it's a lot lot lot better now

[ivory marlin]

Cuz it really seems like bungie wants it to do good

[undone pewter]

Arc raiders helped by existing tbh

It created a mainstream extraction shooter

[frosty herald]

it needs to do good for bungie

[undone pewter]

Marathon has visual appeal but is "harder"

[frosty herald]

destiny 2 is hemmoraging players and income

[frosty herald]

hardcore pvp extraction shooter

which is already a niche market

[formal umbra]

Yeah me (I quit destiny after witch queen and will probably never buy a game from Bungie again)

[undone pewter]

I'll play the server slam but I won't be buying tho

Not after D2 lmfao

[nimble fiber]

At ark is easy but def cool fight

[undone pewter]

Not awful specs

Is high with RT on?

[median steeple]

the marketing has been like really good and all the hands on stuff has been positive

[solar gorge]

same

i don't get why it was hated on reveal

[median steeple]

people calling it concord 2 when concord never had this level of like

[solar gorge]

i'll try it

[median steeple]

hype behind it

or hope

[solar gorge]

let's take a look i say

[median steeple]

esp from playtesters

[drifting wolf]

extremely common thing to occur for bungie, see all the times destiny 2 was in an awful spot and they managed to pull a 180 on its public reception out of their ass (taken king, forsaken, final shape)

[solar gorge]

yeag but this time the game ain't even out

yet

iont like judging games before they're playable

dork attitude

[median steeple]

yeah I'll give it a try during the free test

might not buy it

but it will prob be a decent game

[frosty herald]

the decima engine is black magic

[ivory marlin]

Its d2 gunfeel on not d2

[sterile stone]

Isn't that what Tarkov was...?

[median steeple]

this

[ivory marlin]

Thats like

Peak

[median steeple]

D2 gunplay is peak and no other game has matched it

if marathon has that

it's gg

fr

[solar gorge]

ppl keep hyping on d2 gunplay so

[frosty herald]

tarkov became super popular after PVE was added and now its 1.0

[undone pewter]

Tarkov isn't mainstream I'd argue its still niche (especially with no steam release at the time)

[median steeple]

it's REALLY satisfying

Tarkov is niche because it's just

[frosty herald]

the thing is

[median steeple]

annoying

[solar gorge]

i will kill the d2 players in this chat if the gunplay in marathon blows

ur all responsible

[frosty herald]

i and many others dont want to play a pvp game

so the gunplay can be good

but the genre doesnt fit the playerbase

[solar gorge]

alr then itr's just not 4 j

u

not every game can be 4 evryone

[ivory marlin]

One thing i know is gonna happen

[median steeple]

ngl I do think marathon will take some players from arc because of how arc treats pvp

[solar gorge]

i like pvp

[ivory marlin]

D2 players are going to tweak when things arent 1 to 1 from d2

[solar gorge]

competition is awesome

[drifting wolf]

marathon seems interesting but it being a genre i'm not interested in and it's also from bungie has made me stay my hand for now

[median steeple]

it wont be 1-1 but it'll be pretty damn close

I saw a shotgun clip

[ivory marlin]

Oh fuck

[median steeple]

and it has a VERY close feel to the D2 one lol

[ivory marlin]

Yummers

[median steeple]

even a very close reload animation

[frosty herald]

losing your entire build if you get killed is a giant turnoff

also no free kits until you go far enough into debt

[solar gorge]

it's probably gonna be more relaxed than trkov

which is all i ask of current extract shooters

[median steeple]

It will be it seems

[solar gorge]

so i think i'll be fine

[median steeple]

marathon has a free kit

with rook

just prob not as broken as arcs

[solar gorge]

it's more in line with arcs

which is a good thing

FUCK tarkov

[ivory marlin]

Play rook

The rook shell is a forced free loadout

[frosty herald]

so your just shit

and have no specialization

[ivory marlin]

Rook forces you into solo que and free loadout

Idr the abilities tho

[solar gorge]

i mean ur at a disadvantage but ur not helpless

just like in arc

[frosty herald]

https://tenor.com/view/thinking-head-scratch-hm-hmm-gif-9190273016569542229

[solar gorge]

free stuff shouldn't be strong

[ivory marlin]

I think

[sterile stone]

I'd have to strongly disagree outside the steam release

[ivory marlin]

With rook

[frosty herald]

so if you want to play with 3 friends and you suck you can just go fuck off

[solar gorge]

it should be just enough to fight

[ivory marlin]

Theyll have to make like

[sterile stone]

The game garners hundreds of thousands of viewers

[ivory marlin]

Rook only lobbies

[sterile stone]

Celebs play/played the game

Lvndmark literally would stream with athletes and muscicians

[drifting wolf]

iirc rook has something where it can camoflauge itself from PvE units

[undone pewter]

Rook lobbies are solo only I think

Or it can only be solo queued

[sterile stone]

Pulling tens of thousands of viewers by himself

[undone pewter]

Something like that

[ivory marlin]

Like pve or just solo?

[undone pewter]

Just solo

[solar gorge]

forcing solo is kinda ass tho

[ivory marlin]

I mean

[solar gorge]

how am i gonna q with my creatures

[ivory marlin]

Youd only run rook to loot

[frosty herald]

thats going to forcibly make low skilled players leave

[undone pewter]

https://youtu.be/Nertr9Lt9Ic?si=qmjQrfr3ndjHNswU

[frosty herald]

if they cant play with friends why bother?

[undone pewter]

Speaking of lol

[ivory marlin]

Of the classes i think thief and triage look the most fun

[solar gorge]

i like triage

[ivory marlin]

Triage looks so fucking busted

The tank class + triage sounds like a fucked due to fight tho

[median steeple]

the uh

shield guy

looks cool

[ivory marlin]

Im not crazy about it

Only class I don’t care for lowkey

[median steeple]

https://youtu.be/SiJIkfW5iyw?si=vSAl21DQKwL2KTmL also rook doesn't force you to solo

[solar gorge]

oh thx god

[median steeple]

here is the shotgun clip btw @ivory marlin looks just like uhhh

the fucking raid DB

from root

[acoustic dune]

is this vaporwaave?

[solar gorge]

fraud and sbr, this week loaded

feasting

[drifting wolf]

conditional finality has somehow returned

[median steeple]

peak gun

btw

[ivory marlin]

Holy fuvk its all over my screen

[acoustic dune]

wtf am i looking aat

is this legos?

[ivory marlin]

Trust itll become bungies moonlight greatsword

[median steeple]

this is the late game raid btw

so it's more PvE

like labs

the biggest threat in labs being raiders

fucking HATE those guys

I know peanut and drewski liked marathon but I don't hold much stock in either

peanut fans will just blindly follow his opinion on stuff tho

[solar gorge]

i don't like vtubers

[median steeple]

also that DMR feels like a scout

lol

[formal umbra]

I hate that stupid peanut

[solar gorge]

i HATE that thing

(never watched)

[ivory marlin]

I thought about it

[solar gorge]

ofc u did

[frosty herald]

they were both sponsored to play it

[solar gorge]

ik how u get paper

[frosty herald]

so you wont have any organic feedback

besides positivity

[ivory marlin]

:3

[solar gorge]

i'll get my OWN feedback

from my OWN gameplay

cuz it's free

mostly

[median steeple]

I mean that's not true drewski has ripped into games he's been sponsored to play and bungie has always given creators to leeway to speak truthfully

like Dato and other D2 content creators did openly criticize parts of DLCs they were given EA to

like

heavily

[solar gorge]

the free trial is this week end right ?

[median steeple]

in 2 days

[solar gorge]

urgh

how long does it last

[drifting wolf]

march 3rd is when it ends i believe

or 2nd

[median steeple]

10am eastern time on the 2nd

5 days

[solar gorge]

alr nice

[median steeple]

we have

[solar gorge]

i should be able to take a looksy

surely i'll p rank fraud before it ends

[ivory marlin]

I cant wait to fully restart my run and ragequit at hideous mass again

FUCK that guy

Wait soap

Nvm

[solar gorge]

he a jump check

can u jump y/n

or are u a lilte groundbound slug

[ivory marlin]

Hold on ill send my most recent ultrakill clip

[solar gorge]

what will u do in that 1 levle with double hideous mass

i need to go and learn jackhammer techs

i never played with that weapon

[formal umbra]

Oh god I'm probably so rusty at ultrakill now

It's been so long

[ivory marlin]

Waow

[solar gorge]

ur cybergrind is sensory assault

but i've seen worse

[median steeple]

I should learn SnS for ATveld

[ivory marlin]

Why did i coin like that

[solar gorge]

once upon a time my cybergrind was covered in butter dog

[ivory marlin]

My friends was a furry in a chastity cage for a bit

I hated it

[solar gorge]

bahaha

[ivory marlin]

Any time hed stream id leave call

[frosty herald]

The challenge quest will be hell

[median steeple]

I got mogged back on cyberstan

[median steeple]

well rn SnS kills him the fastest

faster than lance

while also being safe

[ivory marlin]

@solar gorge fraud drops on the 24th

IM RIGHT YOURE WRONG

[solar gorge]

my devastator ate my book on stoicism he ain't been the same since

[carmine falcon]

friendship ended with recoiless rifle

[solar gorge]

mang

[carmine falcon]

epoch is my new best friend

[solar gorge]

the annoucement dropped today

for me it's the 24th

and it says tomorrow

[ivory marlin]

Thats cuz hakita is in the paat

Past

[median steeple]

this fuckin clip

[ivory marlin]

Itll probably drop around like 5 my time

[solar gorge]

hakita is a european

he's NORMAL

[median steeple]

Isn't Finland like in the future compared to all of us

[solar gorge]

it's in my timezone i think

or not far off

[median steeple]

EEST

it's 632 pm in finland rn

[solar gorge]

yeah that's like

1 hour ahead of me

[frosty herald]

Why didnt they warn us about 9/11 then???

[solar gorge]

hakita was flying the plane

[median steeple]

Yakubs greatest creation

Hakita

[carmine falcon]

wtf hd2 has a bolter

I NEED IT

of course its behind a warbond

[sterile basalt]

So I tried SM2 last night

Started on veteran difficulty

I do see the appeal why people like it

[carmine falcon]

glad u like it

and keep in mind campaign feels like ass compared to ops

you use slower weaker weapons with no perks lol

[solar gorge]

itz in the free one

[sterile basalt]

But it is pretty funny that space marines are <50% the durability of DT veteran

[carmine falcon]

no its in steeled vets

[frosty herald]

Dominators are steeled veterans

[solar gorge]

oh yeah i remember that 1 is paid

cuz i got it 4 free teehee

[carmine falcon]

yeah the game at higher diffs wants u to not get hit unless you're heavy or bulwark

then u just tank and outheal chp xddd

the key to tankiness in the game is brining guns with great chp recovery and just never dying

[sterile basalt]

I also think DT’s toughness is by far the best defense mechanic across every horde game I’ve played

[carmine falcon]

dt just whoops the floor with sm2 mechanics wise

but u dont play sm2 for mechanics

u play it to larp and do cool shit

[sterile basalt]

Aura and hype moments type of game

[carmine falcon]

ye

[sterile basalt]

The animation work carries it a lot

To hide the lack of depth

Idk if this’ll hold up 30+ hrs later

But it looks cool rn

[carmine falcon]

there's depth tbh, the type of shit i see people like FTG doing seems impossible to me but the game itself is just not meant to be that deep

[sterile basalt]

Also I think it’s kinda funny that

SM2 sorta has more MTX advertisements in game than DT?

[frosty herald]

Yeah

[sterile basalt]

There’re so many things u can click on that lead u over to a steam store page

[carmine falcon]

it will in ops cause u got 6 classes that play different, like 12 maps, siege mode ane strata mode
i just dont see ithaving more than 100 hours for people who crave tism in their game

[frosty herald]

Theres a LOT of armor and colors behind a season pass

[carmine falcon]

yes but it has loads of free stuff too

[frosty herald]

Id say the first season pass has alot of value

[carmine falcon]

i bought both for the price of 1

[sterile basalt]

I got y1 edition

[carmine falcon]

its all skins tho

if u dont care about playing dress up u can ignore the season passes entirely

[frosty herald]

You also have the champion heads

And voice pack

[sterile basalt]

Champions have diff voices from the 6 ultramarines?

[carmine falcon]

voice pack is 5 bucks but im not buying year 3 season pass cause of it

nah they're introducing new voices and heads

[sterile basalt]

Oh

They rly be milking these tin cans ngl

[carmine falcon]

and they'll allow u to put any head on any class, previously the heads/voices were class specific

[sterile basalt]

I checked some steam store pages for the cosmetic packs and most are negative or mixed

Lolol

[carmine falcon]

cause overpriced lol

40k dont have overpriced consmetics challenge

[median steeple]

oh yeah isn't the

techmarine also in 2 days

fuckkkk

[carmine falcon]

ye

i been praciting

[frosty herald]

A LOT of stuff is dropping friday

[carmine falcon]

look at this HARD CARRY

mfw out ranging the heavy as bulwark

[frosty herald]

https://tenor.com/view/leon-leon-s-leon-s-kennedy-kennedy-resident-evil-gif-16601873597413345595

[wheat matrix]

I kinda liked that

[sterile basalt]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/664591642967408640/1475768270878539827/4E5E951.MP4?ex=699eafce&is=699d5e4e&hm=c0a666c5f06725a2c7a8b02435ed7a55b950ccfa7893e91213758cb163f59871&

I’m horrible at the game so far lol

Also ngl the Boltguns in SM2 feel horrible

Going from DT boltgun to SM2 boltgun

Insane aura loss

[carmine falcon]

they uhhhhh are built like marksman weapons
they do great dmg on headshots only which feels lame
they also have the wrong sound

[frosty herald]

Is that deathwatch titus

[sterile basalt]

Idk how but they made shooting a boltgun feel weaker than firing shredder autopistol at flak armor

Which is incredible

[sterile basalt]

Yea I played tutorial + first kadaku mission

Then went back to studying

[carmine falcon]

its a combination of 1- campaign not getting any of the buffs the weapons got due to no perk trees or updates 2- bolters being headshot weapons 3- everything is just way tankier in sm2

dt enimies fall down a lot easier

[sterile stone]

You're gonna have fun working your way up to lethal

[carmine falcon]

space dudes wants u to fight things

[sterile basalt]

Also mouse in this game has aim assist?

[frosty herald]

I havent noticed

[carmine falcon]

i have that off

[sterile basalt]

That’s the best part, I’m just playing this to pass time

I’m just waiting for DT update

DT netcode so bad I started exploring curio choices and playing sm2

[sterile stone]

Probably ain't getting shit til april at earliest

[frosty herald]

Id say next month

[carmine falcon]

if u wanna just nuke things play assault

[sterile basalt]

Also this game has the most cursed keybinds I swear

[carmine falcon]

this is like if i ran into a pack of crushers and 1 tapped them

with 1 hit

all of them

[sterile basalt]

Who came up with the idea of having ADS bind to pressing scroll wheel by default

wtf is this

[drifting wolf]

i haven't played since october, how is power axe now

[carmine falcon]

i have melee on mouse button, aim at m2 and stims at m4
yes its cursed

[sterile basalt]

It’s so bad

[carmine falcon]

block axe is the best weapon in the game

[sterile stone]

That's why I use controller

[sterile basalt]

I’m getting fked over just for learning controls

[carmine falcon]

they tried so hard to make the dual wield fantasy work at the expense of having human controls

[violet hornet]

That studio's sound design is terrible imo, everything sounds anemic

[carmine falcon]

nah they have great sounds

[frosty herald]

Melee on mouse5

[sterile basalt]

I don’t mind the sound that much

[carmine falcon]

bolters just dont sound thumpy enough

well not all of them

stalker sounds proper

[violet hornet]

It was even worse in world war z

[carmine falcon]

heavy bolter sounds like a machine gun

[sterile basalt]

The dodge input also feels off idk how to describe it

[carmine falcon]

but i like their audio for pretty much all the melees and plasmas

[sterile basalt]

It sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t

[frosty herald]

I love using the heroic bolt pistol

[sterile basalt]

There’s like a 400ms lag for dodge action or smth

[frosty herald]

Since it has perfect hipfire accuracy

[violet hornet]

Nah that studio never bought their sound guy a subwoofer

[carmine falcon]

dodges work fine idk im too used to all the jank

[sterile basalt]

I’m still not sure what keybinds I want

[violet hornet]

Mastered the entire thing on a $10 pair of earbuds of Amazon running on Bluetooth

[sterile basalt]

ADS not on right click is sacrilegious

But

[carmine falcon]

u want parry on e, glory kills on c and then everything else doesnt matter

[sterile basalt]

Melee on mouse side buttons is also wack

[carmine falcon]

i have melee on middle mouse

yes its still alive

[sterile basalt]

I don’t click middle mouse at all

Like, ever

Across every game I play

[carmine falcon]

me neither until i played this cursed ass game

[sterile basalt]

I turn that shit off asap

[carmine falcon]

learning new ways!

[nimble fiber]

[ivory marlin]

Wuh

Thats like

Peak melee button placement

[sterile basalt]

Yk DT actually allows u to bind “swap weapons” to the same key as “equip primary/secondary weapon”

[carmine falcon]

i found this randomly from last week

we lost it

but look at these numbers

[sterile basalt]

SM2 can’t do this for some reason

[carmine falcon]

i hate pubs

[sterile basalt]

So u can actually like

Have 1 for primary
2 for secondary
Swap on 1

[carmine falcon]

space dudes has the worst consolized control scheme ever

sadly

[sterile basalt]

So that if u have melee in hand

Regardless if u press 1 or 2, u swap to gun

SM2 can’t do this tho

Fucking keybind conflicts man

[carmine falcon]

u also have weapon swap lag if ur ping is too high

game has lots of jank to get used to

game feels like they learned how to make it along the way
it got better with updates but there's still a lot of things that need to be addressed

and hopefully made better in sm3

[sterile basalt]

Wat would sm3 even be about now that Titus is stuck fighting necron

[carmine falcon]

doesntn need to be about him or smurfs tbh

explore one of the other chapters

or feature a new smurf

can we get melta bombs in dt

so fun to setup and kaboom

[frosty herald]

About necrons deathguard orks and tyranids

[nimble fiber]

@sterile stone u wanna run some hunts?

[sterile basalt]

We have melta bombs in DT

They’re on poxbursters

[frosty herald]

Titus lost his first battle againat necrosor because he decided to unleash a shard of the nightbringer

Also sm3 could have genestealers

[carmine falcon]

funny tech

if u perfect dodge and explode your melta at the same time u iframe it

i totally did this on purpose and didnt panick

[hard bough]

this during siege mode becomes a necessity

it's really funny because you're basically playing hot potato with yourself

[carmine falcon]

yep

i like just abusing jumpack iframes to plant meltas lol

[sterile stone]

I'm probably gonna fail this soon

So sure

[nimble fiber]

bet im gettin on

[sterile stone]

Oh

so I just learned something new

Planetes can INDEED turn left to right

That's neat

[sterile stone]

Ohh

I mean atleast it's not like some shit like pink unicorn fart bundle

But still sponsored bundles are kinda bleh

[frosty herald]

dont pub omega

[median steeple]

honestly for grinding parts I lowkey grubbed it

joined quests 10m+ in because if a group could make it there they have a higher chance of beating it

instead of just failing over and over again in the 2nd room

[nimble fiber]

yeah nah imma save him till I have a full squad that I can communicate with

otherwise shits kinda annoying

gog is sometimes acceptable with pubs

[median steeple]

gog for me has always been good with pubs

if you're doing the uh

forgot what version

nvm it's only the event quest

[signal spoke]

Well originally the skins were locked behind the 5.11 merch store and you would only get them if you buy a 50$ tactical gear stuf

[nimble fiber]

had a lot of runs were we can't even get to the last phase cause people keep dying before we even get there

[sterile stone]

That isn't hard tbh

If you've ever been inside a 5.11 store

Everything in there is FUCKING EXPENSIVE

[signal spoke]

5.11 sounds like an American ass store

[sterile stone]

Buddy of mine got a windbreaker for like $150

[sterile stone]

It is

They basically sell shit you'd see your stereotypical American wear

Plate carriers

Boots

Tac belts

Patches

Gun Owner brand coffee

And all of it is priced to hell and back

[ivory marlin]

Thats my birthday

[median steeple]

I bet this shit tastes like ass

because I never see anyone talk about outside of sponsorships

[ivory marlin]

Black rifle coffee has some silly coffee names

[sterile stone]

They have actual store fronts btw

It's like a starbucks

But for AMERICAN PATRIOTS

[solar gorge]

chudbucks

[sterile stone]

They also offer discounts to first responders

Or active military

[solar gorge]

active, damn

[ivory marlin]

[sterile stone]

[spare talon]

Tf is that

[frosty herald]

i know they got into a sizeable controversy

[nimble fiber]

[sterile stone]

The only sticker I stand behind is backing fire departments and 633

Oh I have that as an active quest rn

[nimble fiber]

[sterile stone]

I just ignored bro

[frosty herald]

[nimble fiber]

[frosty herald]

when you can go to a surpluss store

[misty nova]

Mallow, why's your name on the list?

[sterile stone]

Man this dragon boss fight is so bad, its kicking my ass rn

[median steeple]

I will always love Fatalis just for the horror it brings to monster hunter

[frosty herald]

highly intelligent monster thats at the apex

[sterile stone]

I remember I was chasing a rathalos in this jungle before

And a giant fucking fish was in this pond

[sterile stone]

I wonder if it was rare

I tried to net it

Too far

[spare talon]

Do you want to know something really cursed I learned from kez

[sterile stone]

Shoot

[frosty herald]

dorn told some wild ass lore regarding his wall in his room

[sterile stone]

Also

Where the hell do I catch a giant squid?

[frosty herald]

goliath squid is at area 15 with the GIANT lake

[spare talon]

The founder of the company that makes BDs is a Harvard drop out and has made wildly more money from this rather than the career he would have been pursuing

[frosty herald]

at night with a tentagle jig

[sterile basalt]

This actually makes perfect sense

[spare talon]

He dropped out TO make them

[sterile stone]

Color me surprised the furry did a lore search on one of his favorite products

[frosty herald]

freaky ass dude ngl

[sterile stone]

[sterile stone]

I mean to be fair right

For as much as it's funny to shit on furries

They're a great source of income

[sterile basalt]

Knowing you guys has been one of the greatest mistakes in my life and I can’t help but think he thought the same way

He just decided to make money off it instead

[spare talon]

We were literally mid encounter in a destiny raid when he lore dropped that on me 😭

[frosty herald]

kez is such a goober

[chrome wave]

would you say d2 is worth coming back to
