Like many times I try to PA, then nothing comes out. I thought ok stamina? I look at stamina nope not zero.
I always run zcrusher with +attack speed and momentum keystone
it's in a better spot than it once was but there's still too many ridiculous outliers and problematic stuff that's been left in the game for too long
helps with both mobility/dodge and general smoothness imo
part of the problem is that a lot of good stuff i.e plasma/revolver etc are the way they are because certain mechanics are just impossible to work around
Yeah josho runs that as well. But I never bothered to try after momentum nerf.
Personally the duration down really affected me
I did try before momentum nerf
and stuff that negates them (suppression, recoil, etc) is just more fun in general
Still too slow for me
nothing is remotely as bad as shit like vt2 having a dlc weapon pack with an essentially ammoless rocket launcher (Moonbow before nerf/rework)
also 5% nerf on momentum really doesn't hurt it lol
Wait cna you rephrase this.
What negates what. And what is more fun.
As I mentioned, duration.
15% bonus to p much everything offensively is still pretty good
gun handling in this game is really poorly designed
my b I'm tried
suppression as a mechanic has literally 0 way to get around it unless you have a talent that turns it off
recoil/sway on a lot of guns also doesn't make sense, isn't predictable at all, and is just a headache to manage
no
I doubt a game like DT going to have predetermined recoil like CS
if a ranged enemy shoots in your general direction, your character gets the shakes except for some guns for some reason or if they have Determined
there's a lot of nonsensical gun handling stuff
certain guns have recoil climb that works the opposite of intuition - first burst of a vraks 3 will have more recoil than the 2nd
Like columns recoil being like a 2008 free fps game
what about stuff like "i shoot for 0 damage but now you burn"
columnus gets off easy because you hit the climb ceiling quickly and it flattens p fast
if u go look at ur pub matches and check who is running headhunters the answer is going to be very low
I meant fact that it reaches the climb and stays there, and how it seems to shoot above your gun isnsilly
Is silly
the sight mismatching with where your shots actually go is certainly another one of the issues of all time
Headhunter is just weird
easier
u basically can't use vraks 7 super well as an anti-gunner tool on psyker/zealot because if literally any enemy is shooting at you
the crosshair blooms like 3x
It doesn't benefit from damage increase talents
the game has denied you the privilege of using a gun
for most guns, it just seems to be an offset issue because if you adjust their position from the screen with Weapon FOV or moveviewmodel, the sights correctly follow where the shots actually go (for the most part)
(and then there's the bolter)
the bolter is the culmination of every sin a fatshark employee has ever made
This, headhunters piss me off with their recoil pattern.
2008 fps gun animstions
2002 fps gun animation
If a gun can oneshot shooters as base kit it kind of doesn't make sense to run with DD or marksman focus
What's that game that's like duke nukeum but more silly
Columnus matters less as well because I hardly ads with it anyway
Mad or something max or something start with S
The one with tye suicide bombers
Bombs in their hands
Serious max
so fuck the recoil, you're getting magdumped from the hip
Serious sam
Mad sam
Yeah
at least you do need DD a bit on psyker but you can rack up enough passive damage bonuses on vet that baseline headhunter just oneshots gunners without marksman or focus target lamayo
Bolter just reminds me of serious sam
and that's a big problem with a lot of weapons
they don't really incentivize recoil control
or outright deny it without mods like the infantry lasgun
But it doesn't get any value vs shooters 
Why would they when accuracy is mostly irrelevant
Wouldn't this be a game philosophy thing. I can't remember exactly what you said but when I was ranting about wanting more mechanical skill expression iirc thr convo concluded with something like " this is still a casual coop game"
accuracy would matter if our DPS wasn't so high relative to the enemies and you'd need to hit shots
it's a casual co-op shooter
with guns
Which is why earlier I said I doubt DT going to have deterministic recoil like CS
the guns should... probably shoot like guns
They swamp you with like 3,000 musty ass heretics. "recoil control" is treated as the joke it mostly is
DD gets more value with lighter laspistol because it let's lighter laspistol oneshot shooters while the heavier one can already kind of do it
like if the bolter was baseline usable instead of requiring specific talents on the classes that get it people would probably enjoy it more
obviously recoil control is going to matter less on weaker chaff
if ur shooting every gun into poxwalkers u are a hero for denying people ammo in the post-survivalist nerf world
I remember someone posting themselves getting the scriers penance done in like 15 seconds because all they had to do was hold m1 on a crowd
knew one dude who was like "infantry lasgun one shots poxwalkers, that's pretty good for me" and just
infantry lasgunned the poxwalkers

😎
You can do it
based
with how easy it is to keep marksman up ur just bein dumb if that is the actual reason
just accept that u are here to shoot zombies
farming poxwalkers for marksman stacks is p much for boss scenarios
To answer directly
Ciag doesn't even shootblike a gun.
What kind of gun when you shoot after few seconds there's now suddenly zero vertical recoil you need to account for
In terms of big picture. I feel mechanical skill ceiling is still mechanical skill ceiling. And DT isn't even gun focused.
is that not why ur here?
@wind spruce why'd you ran assail with trauma, pretty unconventional as build goes
DT schmoovement
darktide is the most gun-focused game fs has released
they've released like 3 games
you can make plenty of builds that are primarily ranged it really aint hard
they made like 4 games prior to the tide series that exist specifically for that one dude to make a reddit thread 3 years before darktide came out complaining about the fatshark cycle
doesn't help that we delete everything in a few shots so there's not much need to aim
or you run revolver and have bullet magnetism
Sure, then how come only guns get to have more depth.

we do advocate for making melee more interesting as well
the "xxx cycle" is so goddamn common
the issue with guns are also system-wide, there's stuff that just doesn't work
we're just talking about guns cuz that happens to be the current topic
the issue with melee weapons oftentimes comes down to more specific problem cases
yeah and while we're on guns make recon lasguns not dogshit please fs
I see.
prob partially because they don't know what to do with them
elaborate
whaddya mean
they just don't know what niche to give to them
obviously they're the low-recoil laser beam weapon
I genuinely thought lasguns are meant to kill zombirs with thee infinite ammo node.
At least for vet
they are its fine
I'd give them a high weakspot multi so that you absolutely have to beam heads to do any damage instead of the ~1.4x that they currently have
Recon have that sweeping profile on their "recoil" lmao
can they not just slap a damage buff on them? why do recons have to have a niche when average as fuck shit like graia and obscurus exist taking up space
like you said, other weapons that do some stuff already exist
might as well make the recons do something somewhat different
Graia is the only fun gun to shoot for me. Feels like what you expect out of a shooter
that's the point of having different weapons after all
hmm
Maybe buff the recon's base crit rate?
Since you'd wanna use it with that talent on vets that gives ammo back for crits
Volvo too I guess.
Laspistol fun but doesn't do alot against cara
i hate anything that buffs crit chance
And not fun to spam left click
crit chance should remain as a gambling thing
not something that you can stack up to >50%
the point is graia is at least usable, while it takes a godroll to make recons even feel nice
yes, but recon feels good to hold LMB on, and that allows for more of that
yeah?
i'm not arguing against buffing recons
what are you on
i'm in favor of buffing them
the recon series suffers from none of the guns having reasonable tradeoffs that matter atm. ideally if they were to make them better they'd probably also separate them in ways that make more sense
did you not get the memo that buffing their weakspot multi would be a buff
im just salty that fatshark was devious enough to drop an entire overpriced cosmetic set featuring a weapon they have actively refused to fix for like a year
no salt in your direction
yeah fatshark pace certainly exacerbates issues
It kind of feels like FS chose some gun models for variety and popularity, then went with thematic balance and since there's only limited amount of "concepts" they don't know what to do with the rest
an unavoidable (?) problem that makes things painful for both sides
Rather than have concepts first and then choose the appropriate guns
p much
i'm fine with theming taking some importance but there's certainly quite some leeway for balance
Yeah, I feel like they just went with the kantrael as the 'standard' lasgun and just slapped the other guns with attributes relative to it.
It seems like that'd what majority of the community leans towards as well.
Stuff like I want X weapon ( without any specific mechanics, just the model)
Another example is when I complained about VT2s class restricted and people were replying " but of course you can't have two of the literal same person!"
So tbf I think it's a community exercabated ( is that how you spell it) issue
was just where the chat was when i clicked into the channel
Why couldn't this be a Trauma?
Don't you already have a god roll BT
because trauma doesnt have a mobility stat
Only 75% damage and 79% charge rate 
only
😔
Wait does it one shotbbruiser @marble crater
With buffs it definitely does, without buffs I think as well, need to check
thats good enuf >:v
Counterpoint:
Yes it one shots them
which one is better
I would say the left one, more finesse and you have uncanny already on there so you can experiment with which second blessing you like best, right side is equally great though. I use uncanny and riposte myself
4% less rending is barely something
Between one having higher finesse and the other having higher rending, there might be barely any difference, if there is one at all. You could test in the meat grinder and see how big the damage difference is 
well i had a stupid late night thought that may or may not take me down a rabbit hole
Illustrations are just a differnet type of illusion
interesting
what inspired this?
For some reason? Just an art video
The etymology of illustrate and illuision are separated though
interesting..
It just seems fairly coincidental they're so similar in english
do any of the store masks have the mechanical filter?
or is it just the navigator mask?
This guy must be good
Why is he unsanctioned? Mostly because he thinks he has psyker powers but just guns down heretics
are u up for some true duo?
Can do later tonight when I'm home.
yeah, I gotta find him, I hope he's in the server
His daddy is tzeentch not the puny emprah
ladies and gents we have a good one
very informative UI 10/10
would dopaminemaxx my brain with
Go buy a lottery ticket
irl peril
who wins the lottery twice
wait holy shit volcanic eruptions create their own lightning
wooo!
I need a voice mod like this on the psyker
red glowing eye mask with weird triange ears is the one that has it
true

Not 80 charge rate and blast but it's good enough.
is it the only one?
That hud is extremely based.
ill keep using my other one with all 80s and dump warp res but at least the mod slot on that one is blazing so if blazing 4 ever happens ill switch
Yep exactly. Blaze spirits 4 would make trauma okay ish 
Pog
they've been very conservative with what gets the voice filter, there's like only one cosmetic per class
imagine manstopper on kickback hmmmmmm
i just started using a shotty with that it would get stooopid
Very nice, congrats
nah there's at least 2 for psyker
the rest idk, only have the crown headpiece for the zealot
I dont know why the winged helm with red eyes gets the filter, but the other 2 variants that are literally just reskins dont
Because they want your money
If that was the case all 3 would have the filter
there is another one where it only covers the mouth and the back of the head part wich also changes the voice
I wanted to get a rebreather with the filter, but I'm guessing nothing in the shop rn has it?
Afaik they added a tooltip that mentions the filter
Dont know if theres one in the store atm
Ye only way to truly check is random yt vids
Thats how i figured out that the red eyes helm even had a filter
This one I'm pretty sure
They release the red eyes one last.
So people have to buy it again.
nah another one
it says it has A filter, but not which one
wait let me start it up real quick
A voice preview similar to the character creation would be nice
I'm on copium rn hoping it has the filter

bro
the only way to find out if it has the filter is to ask someone who has it
and nobody fucking has it

ok I have 3 that change the voice we want on psyker
one is the one that we already know of and the other one's imma send in a bit
filters are meh id rathre hear the voice acting in its native glory
the second one I use the most
but I hate that it makes your character walk like they have a broken back
they extended this dialogue line a bit
mad psyker cackling filtered through the mask sounds horrifying
magic man morning meme
they will probably at some point
the yellow glowing ones have been in the shop 2 times
fk this shit
F
the feel is real
and it might never heal
no matter to whom you may appeal
so maybe just save it for the blooper reel
over 2mil and still no cknife

no rarity
common rarity
rare rarity
legendary rarity
just me or brain rupture looks like the surprised black guy lol
@vestal fulcrum did we just play Smelter together? 
Oh. We might have. Were you the Zealot, or the Psyker
?
Psyker 
My friend was one of the Zealots, the one that was thrown off the map twice, very disgruntled by that he was 
I blew up for no reason, also disgruntled. GG
WP, good Beast of Nurgle kiting
I was constantly being swarmed by disablers in that section 
Thanks, same, that was close a few times 
I would have killed it on the spot it appeared, had it not been for the sudden Carapace gang ™️ making an appearance

claytide?
Hadron please
excellent paperweight
barrage time
F
wat is claytide
how come brick
tide games but on extra low graphics
so it looks like claymation
ramstick die, no choice
Even with caly its 20 fps
graphics are a distraction
wtf brain
tides should be in a text-based format
I don't think my eyes can register anything above 40 fps
Yes
at 20 fps i need to guess when a mauler and crusher lands their overhit
god blessed me and i dodged both
its 20 fps average but the frame drop was insane
its like every 2 seconds new frame
turn based mode unlocked
like it was like sudden pause then it returns to normal but its very frequent yeah so i need to guess stuff
also i kept getting trapped and dogged
idk why, it feels the sounds are slower to come out as well

i get dogged so much i feel like a malice player
yes same
i still waiting you go a5mael kat
i take back everything i said about vet
shovel shotty weapon spec is very engaging to play
i play weapon spec with caxe and kant shotty and it feels like budget zealot
maybe not budget but
tankier and slower
way tankier
but the good thing is
you actually motivated to use your gun now
cald show ur build
okeh
I'll let you know when the time comes
IF NOT NOW, WHEN
curios are mid and i need to take another look at talents theyre kinda messy
i think same as mine, what your top look like
Is surge good for disrupt destiny build?
surge staff or surge blessing?
i dont think so secondary isnt super good for long range and it doesnt have much benefits on primary fire
staff
it doesnt secondary is center mass
void will do much but thats just void
yeah the only benefits would be base damage and crit damage
kk, fair enough
then ya, DD boost headshot damage, and headshot give more stack if you take node
is this a good sword? planning on using it for a bit but idk which perks/blessings i should grind for
if you take a melee thats good with it/assail its still worth imo
@bronze hound
at that point why not just play gunker
yeah you would be better off with a gun
i have one DD surge build but it uses Dclaw as a melee
ye its alright people go flak+maniac slaughter+whatever
and surge is only there for a boss/cara
flak maniac and uncanny/slaught are good
can also do slaught deflector or something
got the 20% maniac just now..
right on nice
slaught unstable is probably still good but its been a while since i used that build
yeah id swap out executor to slaught or uncanny
and weak spot to flak
@upper sun
I run right aura because shotgun no need survivalist and i need the melee damage since im caxe
and your good
sir you upgraded another sword
also on your toes very good to keep iron will up
cool. i don't have any other blessings though, will save it for a perfect craft
Also, be honest, bricked AF?
wrong sword 💀
I'm an Illisi fanboy
p dead yeah
got excited 
ye looks fine to chaxes have low reach speed with them are nice
wait why you runnign deadshot
you swing once, kill 3 zombie, your next shotgun shot is garunteed crit
got the right one this time. should i keep t3 deflector or do t4
nu nu im running caxe not chaxe
Keep it at 3, put on slaughterer instead of Blazing and flak instead of infested, imo
that what i would do too
you don't have maniac but tbh you don't need it
wait
@shut flax do you ahve loadout config
mod
check if after you take flak and slaughterer can you one shot both bruisers at max weapon stacks of slaughterer (with lights)
thats the only illisi BP you would care about
I'll test it out! I would still have to wait for slaughterer though as i don't have any yet.
are you on PC?
can someone explain what the right click for the deimos does? im feeling stupid
the block?
oh its a block
ya, wait are you confsued whyu there is a disc
idk i didnt really try to block with it lol, i thought it was an attack since right+left seemed to do something
thats the push :v
Same for all weapon
oh gotcha, just looks different
kat what is close and kill
yeah
download the loadout config mod
Let you try diffferent weapon combination (stat perk and blessing ) in psk
if you get deflector (blessing)
The disc become real and stop bullet
sure thing. I'll add it to my mods. thanks for the tip
damn i need that
kinda yeah, started last week
ooo, i'll just say that psyker levelling kind of not fun
psyker very build dependent
but theres a levelling build made by pygex (another player) for psyker that uses assail that people argue build bad habit because its too good at difficulties under malice
oh im having a good time lol, i used assail for a while and liked it but im going with smite rn
oh thats gud
if u just wanna level just use gun
Surge and purgatus staves aren't bad for levelling tbh
Trauma sucks below 30
idk about voidstrike
idk gun just does job better
Gun works though
i got surge for single target yeah
but you don't really get the full glory of what gun can do until you get DD
voidstrike is peashooter
general psyker build guide
I wouldn't rate solidity that highly tbh outside of smite builds
so crits are good?
yus
Crits are great on almost any psyker build
The smite sub nodes are good
I think it's only like rending shockwave trauma that doesn't care so much
i feel good for any staff build
But that why i put ir as orange
is there somewhere i can see my crit chance?
:O
They are
but all 4 staves (at least if you go blazing trauma) and any gun a psyker would actually be interested in, on top of all of our best melee weapons, and one of our blitzes, all benefit a lot from crit
crit synergy talents are pretty much autotakes
i forgot why general consensus enfeeble bad but i remember for the +1 jump its because most of time you won't reach max jumps anyway
magic hobo clutching up against 9 crushers and others lol
The jump node does more than it says iirc
idk with new EP I kinda just feel like maximising smite completely now
apparently enfeeble doesnt work with the charged smite?
shoutout to psykers
And enfeeble works even tho debuff indicator says it doesn't
personal take: smite bad anyway, just because it makes the game unfun
someone runs smite and i don't have to play the game anymore if they are smiting all the time
it makes me brain happy
Ep smite is pretty interactive in comparison to wc
is brain burst good at all?
It can be
It's awkward but you can make it really good
Even totally unbuffed it can fill a hole in your kit if you're starved for points
but you should always try to get kinetic resonance for it
that makes it so much more usable
hmmm
EP on it makes it become actually really strong on top of that
thats fine, just explore the game for now
I say that because when someone else spams it i really don't have to play the game since the enemy isn't even moving and is of no threat, makes the game unfun for me.
it feels like a plasma with no cleave
Smite as a starter ability will make you shit at the game
It's pretty nice to use under a shield too
yeah thats fair
All of our main options are great tbh
all abilities, blitzes, keystones at least
you just have to make sure they fit for your build
i might try assail again, should i use something else than surge with that tho?
and certain things are combos or nonbos
Surge assail is doable
I use assail with voidstrike and guns personally
you could argue to use it with any build really
it's just generically good
surge assail is probably my strongest build
if you run the levelling assail build iirc you can forget your secondary exists.
btw get used to quelling while sliding
u can run pretty much any combo of anything
you can charge and quell stuff while sliding
ive generally been doing ok except for the karnak twins mission that ive wiped every time lol
good to know
u should probably extrapolate a bit about that
its good because while quelling / charging you get reduce movespeed, but that doesn't apply while sliding
u shouldn't begin the quell before u slide really
ideally u movetech with ur primary and then do it
assail can crit too right?
it can
ehhhh not sprint slide because you literally can't sprint but sometime i dodge slide while quelling
it can headshot as welkl
sick
if it crit it would become purple iirc
wdym u can't sprint
idk i don't run ep assail
i don't think you can sprint while quelling
u can sprint slide and then quell
yes
ur movespeed is locked for duration of slide
im so glad you can just refund skill points for free
ideally u do a ds4 l1 into slide into quell
this would suck otherwise
but i'm a minmaxer
thats why i said you can't do this for sprint slide
if you quell while sprinting you can't sprint slide quell
yeah u gotta do whatever makes u move fast first
no as in
You literally can't quell before sprint sliding if you want to sprint slide and then quell
yeah that's what i mean
why would u quell beforehand
u do anything that makes u move fast first, then slide into quelling
if its a dodge slide then you could do it, and sometime it make sense to do it to dodge gunner fire while quelling
And i don't think you get reduced speed from the dodge slide if you quell then dodge slide
u can only increase dodge slide speed by jumping off of shit
Whoever was Magic Hobo I tried to reconnect to the game but got errored out
most pubbers aren't in the discord
like this is how i go about it anyway
I hope they are
nah they're really not
most people have the most asinine builds
lacerate on knife etc
if they were here and read anything at all they would have much better builds
i have illisi so i just run with my staff xD
ah staff movespeed is so slow
it doens't feel that much different from illisi
plus don't hbave to wait for weapon switch
weapon switch quell is 0 delay, they changed how that worked
i mean if i used a ds4 for sure i would switch to ds4
u can quell cancel a staff weapon draw as well which is a meme
sadly nothing in DT rewards / actually needs that
i like to have some skill expression
the "hardest" tech we have was the assail QQ switch
now its just quell cancel and quell slide. its shameful how its even considered "tech" 
surge staff one?
yep
thats not that hard either, its just another form of qq swap
I coudl that if i rebound my keys (change 1->2 and 2->1) and i played surge
it's a well timed cancel into a quell cancel weapon swap
i'd say it's pretty hard to do well
on certain animation its hard,
immediatley its not hard ofc
cough cough my taunt b4 that i never could get
wdym
i could do immediate 2 frame link though, at least at 50% consistency after 1 month
Your name is average player, you're either God awful, or really good, there's no in between
i'm really good at potemkin
did you read the potemkin primer guide?
in strive
no
:(
i'm from sf so all of the kara cancels were natural to me
nah the guide was more for gameplan
kill the enemy
im average gamur
game plan achieved
Fake
i'm a very patient player so pot works for me
It's like seeing someone who's named the "Nword" or Pooppoop3
They're either a god or terrible
all the regulars in this discord better than me
but i could beat pubs most of the time
(for this game)
So im really average.
The only game i was decent at was r6 siege when i hit plat3/4 when the highest rank was "Diamond" (season 2 i think?)
haven't played ggst in a bit though, what with sf6, been tutoring others to get better
i've been pro or pro competitive in basically every game i've played
i gave up tekken because uh
it felt very unfair, and plus the knowledge checks ;-;
thats so cool
tekken is disinteresting to me precisely because of that reason
it felt unfair because i was playing bryan
i think high level tekken is interesting.
just a warning i don't know much about specific tekken stuff
like i know memes like rolling death cradle
but i've never played it, and to me it's just so fucking slow
yeah ive heard tekken has like 700 hours of knowledge checks from my friends who played it
i remember building a hitbox for my tekken enthusiast buddy and showing him how to kbd
i never got into it
tekken is interesting because you could have multiple RPS at once
You could do the df1 meta game against high level players
he was so happy how much easier it was
yeah boxes are great
it feels like most of the time you only really have 1 rps
some games have layered rps which are usually handled by option selects
i learned most of my shit in sf4
unless its something super situational\
id say most games have more than 1 RPS although some matchups can revolve around the 1 RPS sometimes because the situation/move is really strong or w/e
tekken with just a simple universal punch you could playu mind games
i found that really cool
when i played strive it was more of one main rps per character
so a ton of the opponents gameplan is just trying to force w/e strong situation
its been a while since i got really into a fighting game honestly
strive is usually just mental overload tbf
it's really fast
sf6 is kinda teetering towards this with drive meter as well
strive is fast and your scared of getting hit cause you take half or more health
mental stack is really high
like potemkin RPS is mainly c.S or meaty Garuda/c.S
Which are super similar and i feel its just 1 rps
yeah ive heard SF6 is getting a bit crazy
the interesting part of those mu's is potemkin reaching that rps situation
his reward for achieving some form of oki is that strong rps
yeah your neutral game is different for sure, but my point is main RPS theres only one
like meaty c.s loses to backdash
at least that how it appears, im a nub player
but thats more of neutral no
if an opponent is generally trying to force one thing but how they have to go about forcing the one thing is interesting i dont mind
if its so strong they can just abuse it i like it less but some characters are just designed that way
all characters in fighting games have a sort of ace card they're aiming towards
yo we talking fighting games
have... have you played nioh 2 :3
i have not
thats not a fighting game 🤨
i hate souls games for the same reason i hate tekken
wai
which is ironic considering i like roguelikes a lot
i mean what aspect of souls exactly
but roguelikes involve more preparation than just beating ur face against a brick wall
Not with enough fortitude
it's the same as tekken, just memorizing shit for knowledge checks basically
OH NO NO NO
Nioh 2 is not only about that
theres some really cool tech
that you need to plink for and need to know when to use
then it make you look super cool
ye ye
souls feels bit less knowledge checky to me but i will admit you are just slamming your face into the wall of the boss whether you are just trying to beat the boss or fully learn it
ninja gaiden black was good
if you hated yourself enough
DMC5 and Nioh 2 goated action games
i couldnt get into 2 though
i'm a fucking boomer so
i did enjoy black
i beat it on master ninja even although i still feel like im ass
yea i mean there's always ways to cheese shit
it was a good game, especially considering the time
i was like almost 20 when black came out so i was already transitioning from console gaming
nioh 2 the knowledge check just abit and not that bad ( im lying :v but it feels easy to me)
The cool thing is like its not as black and white as souls i feel
Souls you dodge, then you wait
Nioh2 you dodge, you can atttack, so you need to know exactly how long you can attack for, and if you do burst damage you might something like guard break them and you get to attack more
yeah the game is very cool, i think the combat is still p unique
to me it's kinda the original soulslike but with like not dogshit controls
my main issue is i find a good amount of enemies/bosses to just be outright annoying to fight
i hate the weapon windups and shit, but i understand the realism aspect
it just doesn't appeal to me
esp in 2
tbf that's another reason i dislike tekken
every move being like some 25f committal attack
usually when i find something annoying i just focus on learning dodge timings
without trying to attack then it gets easy
you have all the tools to deal with it but then its like fight 70 ogres or w/e and im all set
i moreso mean ninja gaiden in particular 2 will just throw 85 rocket guys at you in the back of the arena and its honestly not even fun to learn the counterplay to
it exists
but could they really not come up with something better than rocket guy but more rockets
1 is much better about it imo
else for the early boss like the whats that animal name, ferret?
ferret boss, just need to know you can dodge left then if you keep attacking his attack won't hit you.
Maybe i found it more enjoyable because i kept asking for advice
bosses are still kinda weak but the combat is fun
oh ya im talking about nioh 2
i defo asked alot of shit when i was starting to play nioh2
yeah u just feel like ur in control of the game in ngblack
a huge improvement over souls games
it's not like it compromises difficulty, either
i admittedly prefer souls but im so practiced in them im biased af
light do you play DMC5?
alot of people like, personally icouldn't get into it because i can't get the camera (same as MHW)
which one is 5
ninja gaiden black def lets you control a lot of situations cause you have so many moves and whatnot
the one with three brothers and the chair
and i frame options that also let you move
not that you are ever standing still anyway
nah that's way after my time
damn not 3
i heard its one of the best, defo give it a try if you like DMC
rare to see
u gotta remember i'm old as fuck so i was growing out of console before a lot of others
i need to play the DMC games at some point
but you don't get to play dante until later i think
i think 4 was the dude with the hand
the last dmc style game i played was probably bayonetta
light so usually you just play fg?
that game slapped
i do plan on trying soulslikes at some point i am just in the never ending loop of doing more elden ring challenge runs
i'm been highly competitive in rts, fps, fgc
i have it but haven't touched it
you typerd fps twice xD
wait are you one of those that just innately good at games or do you also choose a life where you can play games for 4-8 hours a day
my profession ended up intertwined with games, but i've always been exceptional at them either way
huh what do you do?
gonna just leave that up to interpretation
ooo
you see people tell me im good at games and then i hear shit like that and thats why i dont agree im that good lol
i mostly have just put a shitton of time into select few games
ur probably good at what you play
there is innate talent and hardwork/determination talent
i actually envy those capable of just hard work
i would say it comes naturally if you really link something
Im actually not that technical or smart but i got into one of the best universities in my region
yeah the games ive put 2k/1k hours in im good at (unless your expecting me to be top 1 or something) other than siege
siege never clicked
even after 1k hours
i can't do school, always felt like a waste of time
ive always been hardware limited, inately decent at games, though being good only goes far when playing a slide show

ur not wrong
simple
siege skill floor is knowledge check of (cheese) strats
The real game comes after what happens after, when you need to improv.
school i enjoy when i have the motivation for it
like*
i just gave up on siege to be honest is became about as fun as slamming my head into a desk
yeah same
thats why i only popped off after what seems to be the western equivalent of college.
after entering university tho, everythign took a nose dive
might go back to smash at some point(dont kill me lightbringer)
i have some good friends in smash
melee or ult
melee
makes sense
hbox used to come over every other week and play board games
u think he pops off only in melee? 
yeah the skill floor is just you getting rekt by cheese strats and not knowing why / how to counter
i can def picture him popping off for most things
was this back when everyone hated him or when he was more popular
uhh
i'm not a smash guy, we were friends through like other fighting game communities but it would have been probably when people hated him for like
being good
imagine, pathetic
def before covid
i do kinda wish i got into melee
i like ult but melee has so much to it
(and ults meta is ass atm)
yeah
it is like 1k hours to learn how to move properly
at least they have proper tools to learn stuff now
before people just have to figure shit out
i have no idea who he is but googling him and reading off redddit it seems that people don't like him because he is unfriendly? and somewhat rude?
i learned how to waveshine by myself and said yeah fuck this game not getting carpal tunnel
nah they don't like him cuz he plays jigglypuff
yeah
he's actually such a nice person irl
he didnt follow what melee was to a lot of people
Some of the main stories include refusal to sign things or take pictures, not exactly converse with fans or other people much, or sometimes won’t play friendlies with other people, namely top players. Basically people classify him as a “toxic person” based on his irl behavior at tournaments. He and Crunch are aware of this, and even stated publicly that not only does he regret some of the decisions he’s made, but he’s still working to improve his attitude from others perception.
seems like even he admitted it
idk, not my personal experience with the dude
people also really like to ask for that stuff right after somebody loses a set
but it wasn't in a smash setting
again im not arguing, im just saying this because i just find it interesting, i have no concern if he is a nice dude or asshole.
u have to keep in mind he was harrassed in live tournaments
yeah
crab incident
this dude was liked by NOBODY
so it was probably pushback from that
the other players dogpiled him even
the only reason he played was because he had passion and nothing else
he dropped school for it
nah he didn't, iirc he graduated and worked at a paper mill for like a year
and he needed the money
he did drop his career tho
oh was that it
yeah i remember him talking about how he kinda didn't wanna retire
i was contemplating concentrating / going pro for siege, cringe at it may be :v
and i just told him it's not like melee is really going anywhere and you're already a bit of a personality
siege is growing so if you're good give it a try
nah im way past it
the was* was in year 1of siege
yea i mean he 'retired' to go work as a logistics operator for that mill industry
early years of siege were fucking great
then was like fuck this and went back
idk, i sort of want to know what life will have turned out,
But even though stuff is painful now i feel i would have become a really boring guy
(stuff is painful now not because im not a pro lol, for different reasons)
i didnt even go "pro" in smash, i got ranked in my state but that was the best i got
and yeah it do be stressful
becomes a job
i was driving and hour and half one way for the tournaments too
so i wasnt even really making money off them
goddam wadahel
even when i placed
ask any of the pros who stream, they make more streaming than any tourney pays, and the tourneys also make more money from them streaming just because of name recognition lol
gl getting that gas money back from smash tournaments 
yeah i wasnt playing for money
ur big money is gonna be sponsors basically
1st would have gotten me the gas and dinner p much
yeah, it's for the competition
i heard even like league the prize money doesn't even matter
The money comes from the title of winning in the sense if you have the title advertisers will go to you LOL
I miss kixstar tbh thats about it
all those players in league are just making salaries anyway cuz of how that system works iirc
and got frustrated
most of the orgs just take the money
yeah rip kix
idk who kixstar is
he was a big siege streamer/commenator
pretty much carried pro league on his back
died in a car crash or something very suddenly
thats serenity17's "teacher" iirc
kix became a commentator right
serenity was a OG siege tuber, taught me how to play the game
ah fuck that sucks
starcraft had a similar personality, if you guys are old enough to remember that esport era
incontrol
was like 25 iirc
i did grow up watching my cousins play starcraft
but i born after SC yes
yeah you would have been like 8 
wait no
Im gonna trigger a hidden memory rn
incontrol was a bodybuilder who iirc died of a stroke after playing or something, but he was known as a commentator
brood war too right

Lyrics:
"Hey commander, can you unplug me?
Just for a minute, I need some privacy."
Headset off and stretch her neck out
Down the rocks to her head's safe house
"Yeah, I remember it all
Leave and shut out my calls,"
The air was so dusty
Her ar...
only sc3 was 20xx
in this case i'm talkin about sc2, which sorta reinvigorated the esports scene
outside of kr
i do wish i had gotten into esports stuff earlier but it is what it is
sc2 was also 19xx right?
nah
2002?
wait starcraft 2 is free now right?
i think sc3 is too
unless there is no sc3 and im going bonkers
there is no sc3
the single player in wings was nice
So I just got Lucky Blow (Crit 7500 enemies under crit aura) in a single mission. That has to be a bug right?
is that correct
scbw is just an expansion packl
oh wait they don't do those anymore
i could see why you would think that is a '2'
hahaha
nope maybe you had a blazing piety zealot they crit a lot
or a vet with deadshot
u could just have a dude rolling with accatran
wait are you THE silverhand?
i went to google and no sc3 of course but idk why my brain just had the idea there was a sc3
It might've been a deadshot vet. we did have a accatran vet on the team. But like...1 mission?
HES THE SILVERHAND OMG UR IN A GIF
ah no thats not my psyker lmao
accatran vet is 100% gonna do that penance for sure in 1 game
WOW UR FAMOUS
esp if they run the cleave one
most accatran vets never stop firing ye
and everyone else is doing stuff
a lot of psyker stuff crits a lot too
I was about to attempt to prove that wasnt me by screenshotting my roster but then I realised you can change names now. You'll just have to believe me? or dont. your call
void shoot once then 20 zombies die
void upsets me more than it should
idk the actual value but im prettyu sure thats an exaggerated amount
i just don't like void
I was using a VS staff for that mission
sound exactly like a 2008 techno song
just kinda nostalgic
but it doesn't have the crit blessing and I didnt have any crit outside the aura
in reality crit trauma would probably do best at finishing that penance
no true aim?
probably not? i just threw the build together for the pennance
iff you had true aim you would crit around 20% of the time
Anyone in this chat trying to do the stupid zealot penance backstabbing elites/specials with stealth?
ive gotten it if thats what your asking
i've done the backstabbing one already
i did it with a rashaad to get it over with
only functional fucking way to run that weapon
i think mk3 is just worse in every way
wat actual penance
i should note i mainly run knife on psyker
ah well ur not really meleeing then
so i dont even need mk6 hevies for hordes or w/e cause i just have assail
knife is just for the bosses and specials
/elites
i played the meme zealot with mk6 with haymaker, actually could kill pretty much everything
crushers i just boltered
Yes, but it’s not from one game. It totals out
ahhh
ive never tried haymaker just uncanny/precog or riposte
i really dislike bolter
like even with chastise at most you kill three crushers with one clip
legit nothing i hate more than not being able to kill horde
watching a psyker who peril'd themselves get slapped
and i'm sitting here with a knife doing fuckall for 25 seconds
i run stealth only on zealot, i'll just kite crushers till they die
in my recent game after a psyker blew up i just typed " ik lol"
yeah thats the main reason i like it on psyker assail covers its weaknesses really wel
wheras on zealot your taking flesh tearer or flamer or w/e
I hate playing knife zealot with stealth, tbh. I feel like an asshole for leaving my team to kill heretics for that stupid penance
or just accepting
could play malice
or does the penance
with loner you're not a detriment, as long as you're proactively killing ranged shit before it gets into cover
restrict you to damn only
just make sure you take loner, or you are actually griefing
or get trappered
I have loner. I’m also testing my momentum build for the zealot. My character goes zoom zoom 🏎️
vet knife actually better than zealot knife
the mommentum nerf really affected my loner mommentum build

didn't like vet knife
i played zealot knife and was so confused all my breakpoints
gone
no 15% elite
no 30% weakpoint
i just slap shit with heavies until it dies
zealot uses it well due to like 80% crit chance
no 20% ogryns/bosses
haymaker randomly killing multiple ragers or whatever
i guess but i took momentum
Vet knife is so slow
maybe the answer is no momentum
i thought knifoe always piety
i do feel the lack of attack speed on not zealot with knife
weapon spec vet go faster
No momentum, but more critical damage? Like a crit build?
WHY THEY NERF THE DURATION!!!!
knife is weighted very heavily into crits
i legit just ignored all breakpoints
cause you dont deserve it
knife no bps is deepthroatshrek
I NEED THE OLD DURATION
NOW 10 STACK NOT EVEN CONSISTENT WTF
nah haymaker just made it insanely good
ew
which i was like wtf
i think FS should nerf knife and not mommentum
if i cant kill crushers with 2/3 push attacks am i even using knife
i ended up not using uncanny on it either
Lacerate uncanny my favourite zealot knife combo
yea no point taking uncanny
