The only thing that is closest to what I want is crusher zealot but that weapon so slow.
So many time I do something mid animation and that something doesn't come out because the animation hasn't ended and I get so confused

#

Like many times I try to PA, then nothing comes out. I thought ok stamina? I look at stamina nope not zero.

tired estuary
#

I always run zcrusher with +attack speed and momentum keystone

lunar hollow
#

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

tired estuary
#

helps with both mobility/dodge and general smoothness imo

lunar hollow
#

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

untold niche
#

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

lunar hollow
#

and stuff that negates them (suppression, recoil, etc) is just more fun in general

untold niche
#

Still too slow for me

tired estuary
#

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

tired estuary
#

15% bonus to p much everything offensively is still pretty good

lunar hollow
#

gun handling in this game is really poorly designed

tired estuary
#

my b I'm tried

lunar hollow
#

suppression as a mechanic has literally 0 way to get around it unless you have a talent that turns it off

untold niche
#

Doesn't depression reset at end if dodge

#

Lmao

lunar hollow
#

recoil/sway on a lot of guns also doesn't make sense, isn't predictable at all, and is just a headache to manage

lunar hollow
untold niche
#

I doubt a game like DT going to have predetermined recoil like CS

spice veldt
#

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

lunar hollow
#

certain guns have recoil climb that works the opposite of intuition - first burst of a vraks 3 will have more recoil than the 2nd

untold niche
#

Like columns recoil being like a 2008 free fps game

radiant frigate
#

what about stuff like "i shoot for 0 damage but now you burn"

lunar hollow
#

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

untold niche
#

I meant fact that it reaches the climb and stays there, and how it seems to shoot above your gun isnsilly

#

Is silly

spice veldt
#

the sight mismatching with where your shots actually go is certainly another one of the issues of all time

potent echo
#

Headhunter is just weird

lunar hollow
#

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

potent echo
#

It doesn't benefit from damage increase talents

lunar hollow
#

the game has denied you the privilege of using a gun

spice veldt
#

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)

lunar hollow
#

the bolter is the culmination of every sin a fatshark employee has ever made

mental grail
potent echo
#

If a gun can oneshot shooters as base kit it kind of doesn't make sense to run with DD or marksman focus

untold niche
#

What's that game that's like duke nukeum but more silly

mental grail
#

Columnus matters less as well because I hardly ads with it anyway

untold niche
#

Mad or something max or something start with S

#

The one with tye suicide bombers

#

Bombs in their hands

potent echo
#

Serious max

mental grail
#

so fuck the recoil, you're getting magdumped from the hip

untold niche
#

Serious sam

potent echo
#

Mad sam

untold niche
#

Yeah

spice veldt
#

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

untold niche
#

Bolter just reminds me of serious sam

lunar hollow
#

they don't really incentivize recoil control

#

or outright deny it without mods like the infantry lasgun

potent echo
mental grail
#

Why would they when accuracy is mostly irrelevant

potent echo
#

So why not just run IAG

#

Also stuff like heavy laspistol vs lighter laspistol

untold niche
spice veldt
#

accuracy would matter if our DPS wasn't so high relative to the enemies and you'd need to hit shots

lunar hollow
#

with guns

untold niche
#

Which is why earlier I said I doubt DT going to have deterministic recoil like CS

lunar hollow
#

the guns should... probably shoot like guns

mental grail
#

They swamp you with like 3,000 musty ass heretics. "recoil control" is treated as the joke it mostly is

potent echo
#

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

lunar hollow
#

like if the bolter was baseline usable instead of requiring specific talents on the classes that get it people would probably enjoy it more

spice veldt
#

obviously recoil control is going to matter less on weaker chaff

lunar hollow
#

if ur shooting every gun into poxwalkers u are a hero for denying people ammo in the post-survivalist nerf world

mental grail
#

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

lunar hollow
#

knew one dude who was like "infantry lasgun one shots poxwalkers, that's pretty good for me" and just

#

infantry lasgunned the poxwalkers

spice veldt
#

😎

potent echo
#

You can do it

potent echo
#

There's a reason to do it too

#

Farm marksman stacks KEKW_ogryn

mental grail
lunar hollow
#

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

spice veldt
#

farming poxwalkers for marksman stacks is p much for boss scenarios

untold niche
# lunar hollow the guns should... probably shoot like guns

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.

mental grail
onyx sentinel
#

@wind spruce why'd you ran assail with trauma, pretty unconventional as build goes

potent echo
#

DT schmoovement

lunar hollow
mental grail
#

they've released like 3 games

lunar hollow
#

you can make plenty of builds that are primarily ranged it really aint hard

lunar hollow
# mental grail they've released like 3 games

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

spice veldt
#

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

untold niche
#

Sure, then how come only guns get to have more depth.

lunar hollow
#

because fatshark knows how to make melee combat

#

and it works

spice veldt
mental grail
#

the "xxx cycle" is so goddamn common

lunar hollow
#

the issue with guns are also system-wide, there's stuff that just doesn't work

spice veldt
#

we're just talking about guns cuz that happens to be the current topic

lunar hollow
#

the issue with melee weapons oftentimes comes down to more specific problem cases

mental grail
#

yeah and while we're on guns make recon lasguns not dogshit please fs

untold niche
#

I see.

mental grail
#

bullpups are still suffering 40,000 years after their invention

spice veldt
#

prob partially because they don't know what to do with them

mental grail
#

elaborate

spice veldt
#

whaddya mean

#

they just don't know what niche to give to them

#

obviously they're the low-recoil laser beam weapon

untold niche
#

I genuinely thought lasguns are meant to kill zombirs with thee infinite ammo node.

#

At least for vet

spice veldt
#

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

potent echo
#

Recon have that sweeping profile on their "recoil" lmao

mental grail
spice veldt
#

like you said, other weapons that do some stuff already exist

#

might as well make the recons do something somewhat different

untold niche
#

Graia is the only fun gun to shoot for me. Feels like what you expect out of a shooter

spice veldt
#

that's the point of having different weapons after all

supple dock
#

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

untold niche
#

Volvo too I guess.
Laspistol fun but doesn't do alot against cara

spice veldt
#

i hate anything that buffs crit chance

untold niche
#

And not fun to spam left click

spice veldt
#

crit chance should remain as a gambling thing

#

not something that you can stack up to >50%

mental grail
#

the point is graia is at least usable, while it takes a godroll to make recons even feel nice

supple dock
spice veldt
#

i'm not arguing against buffing recons

#

what are you on

#

i'm in favor of buffing them

lunar hollow
#

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

spice veldt
#

did you not get the memo that buffing their weakspot multi would be a buff

mental grail
#

no salt in your direction

spice veldt
#

yeah fatshark pace certainly exacerbates issues

untold niche
#

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

spice veldt
#

an unavoidable (?) problem that makes things painful for both sides

untold niche
#

Rather than have concepts first and then choose the appropriate guns

spice veldt
#

p much

#

i'm fine with theming taking some importance but there's certainly quite some leeway for balance

mental grail

#

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!"

thats good enuf >:v

marble crater
#

Yes it one shots them

manic river
#

which one is better

marble crater
#

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

manic river
#

4% less rending is barely something

marble crater
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

there is another one where it only covers the mouth and the back of the head part wich also changes the voice

doesn't specify what kinda filter

And enfeeble works even tho debuff indicator says it doesn't

personal take: smite bad anyway, just because it makes the game unfun

it makes me brain happy

rigid sky

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

junior dirge

hmmm

rigid sky
#

EP on it makes it become actually really strong on top of that

untold niche
# junior dirge it makes me brain happy

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

rigid sky
#

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

junior dirge
#

i might try assail again, should i use something else than surge with that tho?

rigid sky
#

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

untold niche
#

its good because while quelling / charging you get reduce movespeed, but that doesn't apply while sliding

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

paper lily

yeah that's what i mean

#

why would u quell beforehand

#

u do anything that makes u move fast first, then slide into quelling

untold niche
# paper lily why would u quell beforehand

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

paper lily

u can only increase dodge slide speed by jumping off of shit

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?)

paper lily
#

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

untold niche
paper lily
#

tekken is disinteresting to me precisely because of that reason

untold niche
#

i think high level tekken is interesting.

paper lily
#

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

lyric burrow
#

yeah ive heard tekken has like 700 hours of knowledge checks from my friends who played it

paper lily
#

i remember building a hitbox for my tekken enthusiast buddy and showing him how to kbd

lyric burrow
#

i never got into it

untold niche
#

tekken is interesting because you could have multiple RPS at once
You could do the df1 meta game against high level players

paper lily
#

he was so happy how much easier it was

lyric burrow
#

yeah boxes are great

paper lily
#

that's every fighting game

#

at their core they're rps

untold niche
paper lily
#

some games have layered rps which are usually handled by option selects

#

i learned most of my shit in sf4

untold niche
lyric burrow
#

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

untold niche
#

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

lyric burrow
#

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

paper lily
#

strive is usually just mental overload tbf

#

it's really fast

#

sf6 is kinda teetering towards this with drive meter as well

lyric burrow
#

strive is fast and your scared of getting hit cause you take half or more health

paper lily
#

mental stack is really high

untold niche
#

like potemkin RPS is mainly c.S or meaty Garuda/c.S
Which are super similar and i feel its just 1 rps

lyric burrow
#

yeah ive heard SF6 is getting a bit crazy

paper lily
#

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

untold niche
#

yeah your neutral game is different for sure, but my point is main RPS theres only one

paper lily
#

like meaty c.s loses to backdash

untold niche
#

at least that how it appears, im a nub player

paper lily
#

but it also loses to prc invuln super

#

just guard with fd as well ruins ur oki

untold niche
#

but thats more of neutral no

lyric burrow
#

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

paper lily

all characters in fighting games have a sort of ace card they're aiming towards

which is ironic considering i like roguelikes a lot

i mean what aspect of souls exactly

paper lily

but roguelikes involve more preparation than just beating ur face against a brick wall

formal hill

Not with enough fortitude

paper lily

it's the same as tekken, just memorizing shit for knowledge checks basically

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

i didn't dislike that game

it's just boring

i beat it on master ninja even although i still feel like im ass

paper lily

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

untold niche
# paper lily it's just boring

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

lyric burrow
#

yeah the game is very cool, i think the combat is still p unique

paper lily
#

to me it's kinda the original soulslike but with like not dogshit controls

lyric burrow
#

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

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
