We definitely aren't 10 meters tall lmao

I have like 20+ of these images

As we kept learning new info

paper lily
#

i don't really think that's where he's confused

lethal lagoon
#

Me neither, but just in case.

#

plus, it doesn't properly capture the scale of flaming shriek being so fucking OP

paper lily
#

it's op cuz it ignores the power scaling in the original code

lethal lagoon
#

You mean the base damage shit that falls off?

paper lily
#

yeah probably because debuffs or w/e don't interact with power scaling

lethal lagoon
#

Oh god, don't say that out loud

paper lily
#

power level in code is a little different to the stat on weapons

lethal lagoon
#

😨

paper lily
#

if everything was tied together nicely i'd reckon the end of the shriek would apply significantly less stacks

#

from what i'm reading in the code it should apply based on where you look, i'll test in game to confirm either way

cinder moon
#

why would it not

i mean yea lol

15s and 30s

WHAT THE FUCK

gloomy magnet

it is maybe a visual glitch

it also used to disappear all at once instead of one stack at a time

uh but destiny falls 1 by 1 now

oh now it's one at a time fall off?

it is buffed

was this in the patch notes??????

#

I just feel like 10s is such a small window to keep the stacks up...especially when there's a bigger threat on your screen and you're forced to make the choice between stack upkeep and proper threat targeting.

gloomy magnet
#

headshot will give you 3 stacks

#

and it will take 150s to lose all stacks bro

half iron
#

you’re hopefully not a vet. you can aim.

gloomy magnet
#

such a strong buff

untold niche
# gloomy magnet such a strong buff

Its a nerf. If I remember correctly. You need 15 stack for crusher 1 tap.
This meant that you had 30 whole seconds to fire stuff at full stack. Meanwhile new one you only have 10 seconds.

#

Let's assume crusher BP is at 12 stack

raw oriole
#

So is LI bugged? I had it equipped and it felt way more like 4s than 10s, at least on my buff bar.

untold niche
#

Even if its thr same 30 seconds, now you still have to rebuild it

gloomy magnet
#

visual glitch though

lethal lagoon
#

It depends on the person if it's a nerf or a buff

half iron
#

i find it both but more a buff on my end

lethal lagoon
#

It also reduces RNG

gloomy magnet
#

Damn I was obsessed with crushers before, but veteran has grenades

lethal lagoon
#

So not just skill cap

#

Losing all your stacks because DD picked bad targets felt awful

#

That happens less now

untold niche
# lethal lagoon It's a skill cap lowering, so not a nerf per say.

I agree it's skill cap lowering but I feel its still a nerf.
I could fire at 30 seconds for free at crushers and since I'm going to vent on them anyway it might as be 60.

Now I have to rebuild it every 10 seconds. Meaning I can't just do barrages on crusher mob anymore ;-;

untold niche
#

Also stack rebuilding is at most 2 minutes

lethal lagoon
#

2 minutes is a long ass time in this game lmao

untold niche
#

At most :p

#

Like worst possible case.

#

Could get it in 10 seconds

#

That said that's why I don't want to go back psyker, I'm so sad

#

I feel like they should remove the max cap node, and change it to what the old one was.
So you its higher risk higher reward. And I get my 30 second 15 stack back

untold niche
lethal lagoon
#

That is a good idea, I'm just trying to think of the tooltip

#

Like one is 10 second stacks, the other is 15 second stacks that go up to 30 but fall off all at once.

#

That fits as tooltips

gloomy magnet
#

shark should make this change as a modifier

lethal lagoon
#

I guess the issue is what 25 stack bois think

#

15 seconds is basically 21 stacks.

#

Versus 30 to 0

untold niche
#

Does anyone here actually run 25 stack

lethal lagoon
#

I think most people prefer 25 stacks as it is now

#

🎙️

untold niche
lethal lagoon
#

TBF, most people didn't run 30 stack either.

untold niche
#

Bust everyone did run old dd with 15 second

#

I mean

#

30 second

#

Or 15

#

Whatever old dd was

#

Point is just give me old DD with duration

#

15 stack cap with 15(? Or was it 30?) Duration

wind spruce
lethal lagoon
#

No I meant 25 stacks as it is now versus the old 30 stacks

#

I definitely am a lazy boi and prefer 15 stack DD

wind spruce
#

Oh I see

#

Yis

untold niche
lethal lagoon
#

OH

wind spruce
lethal lagoon
#

so change 25 stacks to 15, 30 seconds fall off at once

#

hmm

#

Now that is a solid ideea

untold niche
wind spruce
#

But you said you want old 15 stacks back

untold niche
#

Yeah. Old DD w/ duration > new DD with duration

wind spruce
#

Absolutely not

untold niche
#

Let me clarify something first. Old dd with duration was 15 second duration, or 30?

wind spruce
#

30s duration

#

And all stacks fell off

#

10s for 1 stack is way better

untold niche
#

Ok.
So another context, voidstrike one shot crusher at 15 stack, let's assume this for now.

This means with Old dd I can barrage into crusher mob for 30 seconds at full stack
New dd I I only do it for 10 seconds.

Let's assume voidstrike crusher 1tap is 12 stack.
Again, Old is 30 seconds. New is 30 seconds but I have to rebuild or shoot something else in between.

plucky flax
lethal lagoon
#

I prefer 15

paper lily
#

why are u concerned with a crusher 1 shot bp if u plan on shooting crushers for 30s

raw oriole
#

They added the convenience of stacks falling off one by one, but prior to this patch dropping all stacks at once might have happened 5 times through a mission and you could get the full 15 stacks back in like 2 minutes or less. New DD is way more stressful to keep up and calls for poor threat targeting at a higher frequency than before these changes.

DD needed a nerf probably, but holy hell, idk, reduce max stacks maybe?

untold niche
paper lily
#

does void not just shred the entire pack instantly

wind spruce
#

Idk what to say other than anyone who thinks new extended duration DD is worse than the old one is living in another reality

untold niche
#

I'm not talking about balance. I'm just talking about if it's a nerf or not btw.

wind spruce
#

You don't need to keep it at 15 stacks homies

#

Let it degrade by 3-5

half iron
#

it works on my machine nonetheless

paper lily
#

i'd call it a buff overall as well tbh

wind spruce
paper lily
#

ignoring bps you have significantly more consistent uptime on increased damage

untold niche
untold niche
#

Not only that your sense of reasoning is screwed as well

wind spruce
#

If you treat new DD like the old one and kill something every max 30s, you'll degrade at a rate of 4 per minute

raw oriole
wind spruce
#

So you can go at that crusher pack for a minute without dropping below 11

untold niche
wind spruce
#

Where as before you'd be at 0

paper lily
#

yeah i didn't specify how many stacks, you're likely to be near max stacks at all times with no real punishment for missing a kill window

plucky flax
#

Da stealth smoke vet drip pogryn

wind spruce
paper lily
#

you might have a preference, but i think numbers wise it'd prove to be an overall buff

#

Void oneshot vs crushers doesnt matter too much because you will knock them down if it doesnt kill

#

If anything i usually expect it to not oneshot, same vs bulwarks

untold niche
#

Yeah but against 6-12 in your face you knocking down one doesn't really help that much

#

Also 15 stacks mean I can get to charge less

On whatever else

#

I don't bother with such miniature since peril and perfect timing are both going to skew things

untold niche
#

:( i thought yo uwere going to test it
don't you always peril edge, so its going be like at 80 from the time you start charging, and i personally always assumed no PT stacks
which makes sense now since PT only lasted 10 seconds while old DD was 30

plucky flax
#

Still think they should make it any nearby enemies and teammate kills count like zealot piety.

#

Reduce bonus damage to balance it.

spice veldt
#

though that'd be fairly uninteractive and even more of a passive bonus than it already is

#

though i agree that the bonuses need tapering down

untold niche
#

crusher 1 tap works at 11 stack with no PT on myu 78 damage void staff (charge from 80% peril)

#

am going to try if 80- damage can hit 10 stack

royal ibex
#

hey i got a random question thats just rocked up, im having my disrupt destiny bug out and not count the talents im running in it 'i got the extra time/2 extra stacks on weakspot kills but its not counting them at all, and the duration is still base

#

any idea what the fucks happenign and if its something i can fix

untold niche
#

yuh 80 damage can hit 10 stack

royal ibex
#

its more im noticing on the buff bar that the stacks vanish at 4s and im not geting extra stacks, so im wondering if its more a visual bug than anything

Is voidstrike optimal choice for LMB memes?

upper sun
#

doesnt surge have a higher crit rate than void?

#

maybe thats better for lmb spam

strong gulch
#

Sure, why not. Trauma and void get access to surge blessing. But surge staff gets crit bonus and has room (because no surge) for funny suppression.

Just stand there shooting balls and make everyone cower before you.

#

No joke, I have gotten top damage most of the time with LMB spam. It's not amazing, but it's better than you'd think.

This is an old build before the recent DD change.

Hrm then it becomes pick and choose.

imagine if the surge EP bug came back in the current iteration of EP

#

triple damage surge whatthefuck_heresy

lethal lagoon

But there were too many spawns while killing the boss(surge was bugged agaisnt bosses, not even the surge EP bug could cover).

#

I'd just quit till they fix that

#

It was so annoying the first time.

radiant frigate
#

Yes

lethal lagoon
#

Every game would be like two surge psykers, fuck me lmao

radiant frigate
#

best part is that i didn't even know that that interaction was broken

#

i just came back to the game and made a talent setup

#

noticed surge was two-shotting crushers

#

figured something might be up

#

patch notes said it was supposed to be more of a single target thing now

#

as opposed to The Before Times

#

so i thought ok it just does that now

lethal lagoon
#

I ran the EP bug once, did my entire team's damage, and my overkill was greater than 2nd place damage.

#

And was like okay, how are people saying this is balanced

#

How bad are they at the game lmao

#

far from balanced

surge should 2 shot crushers change my mid

i was complaining about how surge was treading all over brain burst because it has like half the cast time and same damage

or more

surge should have better second target scalling

Brain rupture was just shite when the talent tree first game out

It really upset me tbh, I just wanted to play my old style psyker at first

then they added like 50 damage to it and it was exactly what we needed

#

ds3 like learning pre calc then you think you smart because you understand hard stuffs
nioh 2 like you learn algorithims and theres a whole new perspective

lethal lagoon

Nioh 2 is like Organic Calc. Professors make it unreasonablely hard and then the rest of the biology major is super easy.

#

The intro is just weird, and then the game get's easy

untold niche
#

theres like actual combo videos on nioh 2
THeres alot of actual tech as well, tech that require you to thumb stuff, tech that only works for certain situations in the sense (i.e. you want to instantly use weapon swap skill) that you ahve to memorize and then when you incorporate stuff its awesoem as hell

#

see its not about defeating the boss

#

that is typical ds3 mindset

#

its about doing it in style

lethal lagoon

By your logic Forspoken is a good game

#

Go watch some spell combo videos

(just to be clear, I'm not saying nioh 1-2 is bad)

its also not easy to do it in style

of course if it just looks cool but its easy then thats another thing

why do you think DMC so popular

to "beat" the game i can just press one button

I would consider DMC a cult classic.

its because there is a very very high skill ceiling and player expression

I don't like artifical difficulty metrics

Which actually souls has a problem with

untold niche
#

huh :v

lethal lagoon

My least favorite part of souls is the game is balanced around not using summons or magic

#

Nioh is balanced around not using combos and other niche features

#

Those things break the core game

untold niche
#

my point is its not just about clearing the boss, its doing it in like the coolest way possible.
Its like, technically if you can fly plane you can go for point A - B, but good pilot can do barrel rolls or whatever shit

#

i mean of course you have to discuss it with the spirit of what i am saying rather than nitpick what i say

lethal lagoon
#

yeah, Souls has a lot of artifical difficulty metrics like that, where it doesn't count if you do X to beat the game.

#

And the game is less fun to beat if you steam roll it with X

#

They are the same in that reguard

untold niche
lethal lagoon
#

Ohhh I see more of what you mean

untold niche
#

i wouldn't play nioh 2 at all if i had to play it like ds3

thats why i say nioh 2 is like algos

you see a whole new world

I mean you can play souls like that

The hitboxes are famously tight and there's lots of things you can do offensively to keep things going

There is a difference between cosmetic variety and actual variety though. I will admit I never deleved into Nioh 2 endgame or anything though.

Like if two different things do functionally the same thing, it's not actually variety.

#

with ki pulse you need to stance switch, so yeah you already need to be in another stance.
and like maybe only weapon switch / weapon draw move let you say move forward while attacking, if that makes sese

snese

#

fuck

#

i think hatchet and scythe is a good showcase of nioh 2, but of course you really need to watch the right person (for hatchet at least.

#

usually low stance is fast, so apply stacks quickly, or to conserve ki, mid stance is aoe, swing attacks and some other stuffs depending on weapon. high stance is range and damage

#

sometime you maybe want to switch stance to use a move that is only available in the stance

so yeah, that would obviously be way more vauable than "hey let me deal 20 more damage right now to this 20k hp boss"

so yes nioh 2 is nuanced

there are no bad stances

you need all

I always wanted to do nioh 2 end game, just never felt like it

untold niche
lethal lagoon
#

I don't like features that make the game more intereting being unrelated to actually beating the game

for me the fun is learning about the different tech and trying to incorporate it, also int omy playstyle and onto the different bosses

lethal lagoon
#

That's fun for me, but not in a game like a action RPG

#

Darktide, that's fun.

#

Helldivers, that's fun

#

But a game with a set course and story, meh

#

Probably why I never really "got" DMC despite trying to

untold niche
#

hmmm, technically nioh 2 you would keep replaying even after the 5th run because there are like the uh different "modes" that let you rapidly fight bosses, or fight obsses with like modifiers

But yeah so i guess its more of a personal "i like/don't like this" thing

lethal lagoon
#

You know, Nioh would be a way better game if it didn't try to be a soulslike

#

that's what I'm getting from this conversation

#

Should have just made a fucking game

untold niche
#

uh to me its still a game

lethal lagoon
#

Right, but it could be better if it didn't try to copy souls

untold niche
#

i don't have biases because its a souls like

i think it still need for lesser enemies

because the lesser enemies fight feel different

ehh, I think you are missing the part of what makes it a soulslike because you don't like souls

the currency lost on death?

most likely its just you saw me preaching about nioh 2 before.
I feel its a very good game, much more fun than ds3.
My personal experience was --> Try ds3 (everyone online say omg so fun!!111!!). Hard, but not fun, boring.
Try nioh 2 because friend say just try. This quite fun, holy shit this is so fun.

Which made me wonder about the ~2016 ds3 circle jerk online but nobody really talk about nioh 2

ah it was specifically someone talking about burning the dogs for a pennance in darktide

#

but of course, nioh2 kind of lets you get away with it

kind of.

#

nioh 2 run between checkpoint and runs to boss from last checkpoint is admittedly way more forgiving than ds3

lethal lagoon
#

Than ds3? I strongly disagree.

#

Ds3 had super friendly runs compared to the souls series in general

#

And was from my memeory more friendly than nioh 2

untold niche
#

from what i know for some bosses for ds3, run to boss from last checkpoint you have to fight some enemies
nioh 2 you can just run striaght through xD

#

and ds3 i feel is harder between checkpoints because of the pathing

#

You can run straight through for every boss in ds3

nioh 2 is like way more direct

other than the fucking temple mission

But remnant 1 is a normal game that has a roguelike mode using the normal game elements.

Wouldn't that be your favorite?

i thought its roguelike with ds3 combat

lethal lagoon

I don't follow

im making the distinction between ds3 and nioh2, because ds3 combat to me is very cut and dry, which is what remnant combat seems to be (and also because everyone calls it ds but with guns)

#

thats why the cheeky monkey giggle

lethal lagoon
#

Its ds with guns because it's a souls liek, but the combat isn't really similar at all

#

Honestly it's probably the least souls like souls like

#

It was more marketing to get people to play

calling it dark souls with guns is very reductive

untold niche
#

sanguinius why you like R2>R1

is it likely

r2 going have orguelike

#

They were wishy washy about roguelike mode in r2

untold niche
#

"i dont know" "alot of community asking for it" "dev says no plans"

lethal lagoon
#

But at least they didn't deny it

#

So the problem with souls, and nioh as well, is that the bosses arent really balanced for ranged attacks

#

Remnant 1 had this problem and the ways it solved it wasn't always great

#

And then Remnant 2 did a lot better job solving these problems

untold niche
#

nioh 2 ranged attack balance = very little damage, take long to shoot, limited ammo KEKW_ogryn

lethal lagoon
#

yeah, but while you had stuff to spam it was definitely waaay easier than melee

#

same thing for every souls game

#

Magic is the easy mode

#

So a gun-like souls runs into that problem headfirst because ranged is the default

#

So they solved it in remnant 1 in ways that weren't necessarily that fun(adds for example)

#

But remnant 2 did a lot better balancing things
