yeah but not every weapon can push people from 10 feet away
it switches it state every 30 seconds
sheesh, yeah that sucks
WE LOVE TO SEE IT DONT WE
get good
in terms of removing visual clutter, you should get DisableScreenEffects
Need Thrust, good luck
i tot hammer is just dodge left into crusher so you can tap its head
🤔
hell yeah ur right
so close
btw the outline mod does not do what i thought it does - auto hightlighting specials kek
im so good at this
umm actually its clearly not perfect
cope
speaking of mods i need to get on getting those, forgot what the process was
vortex
i used to have a couple but i was too lazy to sit and update them
You could change Hammerblow for Headtaker, but I'm also a hammerblow enthusiast
And damn that's a good hammer
i was thinking momentum as well tbh
true, you need a weapon with 100% in every category

im bad and i need toughness
Cara good on ironhelm, doesnt give crucis a bp
im coping hard after a loss im jumping to zealot
Oh completely biased opinion, should've seen the no ammo match
"I have hammerblow, that's right"
Fight my way out of the corner
i can always change it again later
But why hammer on that mission?
Limit testing
Wish they would buff assail back to its original damage
please no, if they buff anything buff brainburst. assail does enough dmg for what its meant for
time to get kicked out of my first match for doing zero damage
assail does insane dmg

suprised we got dd buffs last patch
I get it, psykers are op on lore, but for gameplay, that was too much
i switched my void to DD after the last patch it feels so nice
It malice yeah lol
nah it's probably 30% of my total dmg
unheard of for psykers
it destroys in auric
I think that's more of a problem of warp charges being a big bloated, a triple B if you will.
i made a post about that on the forum lets see what people say
my problem with warp syphon is point investment, i can go dd and save points and spend them elsewhere because i was going kinetic deflect anyway
also insta fail
Really wish bb kinetic flayer was 5 seconds instead of 15
Indeed, that's why warp charges is BBB
BBB, EP, and DD

They should make crits reduce the cd, some option for gunkers
Yeah there's another problem, the talents lead up to BBB aren't that needed.
So like you have to go to the other trees anyways all the time
walking to the mission terminal every single time you wanna play is a swedish humiliation ritual and no one can convince me otherwise
warp syphon does have one degenerate use and thats flaming shriek spam
BB is still to weak imo, why do i need 3 to kill a fking mauler/bulwark
i dont know what BBB stands for im stupid
very very dumb
I feel like 0 brain power abilities shouldn't be too strong
Compared to the other ways you need to kill a bulwark
cmon even upgraded needs 3
EP BB doesn't two shot a bully?
its single target and builds up peril like nothing else
EP bb is 2 shots no?
no

I'm 100% sure it's 2 shots.


ah yeah it does just checked it
its the shriek that doesnt 2 shot
Huh?
yeah forgot it deals no bonus dmg


are u on nitro
Nah that's bad for you
And it's not even that fun
Worst deal of all time, I tell you, the worst.

I have the cheap nitro.
$10 a month is kinda crazy.

$3 is enough for moi.
i got mine for free
code
3 months
im not paying 3 dollars per month just to be more special on discord
Yeah i think i have the 3 dollars a month version although i just paid for a year


I'm paying too much gas money already.
Eh i use discord enough
Oh nvm i got the full version
it just doesn't seem to be of good value to me

I don't know of a subscription that's a good value
120 dollars a year

Well 100 but ye
i have two subscriptions i can fully get behind
1password, and outlook/onedrive family
there is bitwarden for a free alternative for a password manager yes, but i deemed the convenience and extra features to be worth the price.
MERICA
Gas is so cheap I couldn't tell you the price, cause it was so unremarkable i didn't even notice it.

i would say onedrive family is certainly good value though.
Not only cloud storage (2TB per 5 accounts ) it gives you MS office licenses
We're #16 most expensive. 
Its 3 and a half dollars - 4 dollars here
We measure by gallon out here boy
Oddly enough we have it as litre by the pump.
wait don't you guys have gas "tiers"
It's sort of half imperial half metric here.
how do you know which tiery ou guys are comparing
It's cheaper than 96c per liter where I live I'm pretty sure
What the hell is a liter
You get it good.
like the "better" gas types
Tbh it got cheaper these days.
someoen reply me ;-;
In 2022 it was over $2 per litre.

a special unit of mesurement most of the world uses over the gallon
i know shocking
Sounds undemocratic
Wave 2 covid gas price got me wishing I lived in the netherlands and can just bike everywhere.
go rage another war in the middle east about it
Its p rare people are getting the premium stuff in my exp
rage
Yes we have premium and regular.
So generally its assumed to be the cheapest
so they are talking about "regular" ?
Yeah
But even our 'regular' is of higher quality than other countries I heard.
thanks FAKE dough*
Our regular unleaded is 95 octane.
I heard in america the cheap stuff is like 89. 
Maybe that's why price is expensive here.
very possible
im curious, why?
oh just the hat?
I like western. 
well atleast it isnt florida
Florida would be gud if I could live in rich neighbourhood.
Like Naples area?
Massive house with a little dock and a boat out the back.
lmao yeah i imagine life is pretty good no matter what if your rich
florida, texas, new york who cares.... MONEY
I love mosquitos and gators and angry armed republicans

that last one you get in texas too
Austin is pretty gay though, so meh.
Depends where in texas
Texas is bigger than most European countries btw.
I think

Texas is larger than all of europe
I am no longer a psyker I am now a hammer zealot
texas is larger than america
yeah and also you get angry armed republicans in upstate new york of all places so its safe to say there is a pocket of them everywhere so not entirly a downside of a whole state
yes
surely
It's a different measurement system
95 = 87
Angry armed republicans are fun to go shooting with
So no, UK gas just expensive

So I go $3.27 per gallon at the closest station near me, that's 3.7 liters.
86c a liter
its also fun to go shooting with your idiot friends who cant handle a gun if their life depended on it, make sure they dont hurt themselves but have fun enjoying your personal episode of beevus and butthead
When can we get psyker exclusive gun
you got 4 staffs
I want a gun
then take a gun
Wait fr?
Psyker exlcusive gun
Show
it makes no sense anyway
TBF, it's a little weird psyker is the only class without an exclusive mk or type or something
ranged with push attack xd
go play a game with one and press the weapon special
i dont have recording software
Does he do like a force shove?
would you belive you could also bonk ppl with your staff
Ik that
its the same button
How is the shove different

manage peril for your buffs
20% dmg high peril
Is las pistol good for psyker
yes
Good

Full mobile psyker build
Simply dont use it
so run the las for fun
yeah
thats what i do
screw the columnus
screw the voidstrike
RIP we just get scammed by the companies.
What blessing are good for las pistol again
baited by a messuring system with bigger numbers
I think this is more of a case of American measurements being right for once and everyone else being wrong.
dumdum infernus raking


Then again, UK is the home of the "stone"
we're simply too stupid to turn on the flashlight
They are wrong pretty often
Literally pulls on the warp and loses a bit of control because the flashlight on the laspistol is too frustrating

maybe the button is just stuck
did they buff purloin?
Pretty important
It might not cost you a leg
Difference between 66 and high 70s is like 8% total damage I think
Around there
You can check and see
By hovering over the bar
Thats a beautiful knife for zealot
I am in psyker chat, right?
no
we're gonna talk about hammers now
man ironhelms great
shame i'm ass with it 
it seems like there are no major breakpoints between like 66% first target and 76% first target
it x1.08
whats the range?
Yeah this game doesnt have many breakpoints
The portion about "hitting multiple" is redundant
Or does it also affect the damage if I'm using it for just single target
it's the bonus damage the first target receives
ye
So it will multiply all damage
like 1.15 only exists at 100% first target
ok
so the real range is like what .75-1.09?
can someone check a knife with 80% first target i just closed the game
it's 0.75 - 1.25
how
what?
It's 1.15 at 100%
So you can get up to 1.15 multiplier
What is this weapon
Combat blade 6
what
what
wait

ok im start the game again
lmao, yes, I do have a mod
You have the mod that makes 80% a full bar
ah
So I'm losing what, 5% damage?
So it really was only like 8% damage diff
Because there's no way I'm rolling an 80 in all damage stats
Ya
realistically it's nowhere close to 7 or 8 or whatever
what mods you guys suggest
All of them
Health bars B)
I guess for psyker yeah
Healthbars are nice for testing new builds
some things from all this 
true level is nice for judging people
scoreboard is nice for checking how much damage the toxic person who just backseated you did
(hint, it's always 4th place)
I might go crit chance on that knife
jesus
If you just install and go, it will be unplayable
go flak sprint 
can't
I need uncanny, so the carapace damage stays
and I couldn't find uncanny after 25k plasteel
great
Not even t3
No mod it's cheating. 
and bad player
Except health bars
nah i mainly want QoL mods not anything that alters the game
All mods are qol
You can't alter the game, everything has to be clientside
sorry only i am allowed to use mods
called out
autofire is probably good if you want to save your wrists with one of those semiautomatic lasguns (or laspistols? I can't remember which one)
true gamers develop carpal tunnel by 30
No I love playing laspistol and manually click each shot.
btw, what exactly clicking fast gives you?


My hands have been gaming for 2 decades now and have gotten numerous accidents with sliding van doors
there has never been an instance in this game where clicking fast was the optimal strat lol
Rashad combat axe
If you click faster you attack faster it's fax.
It’s also nice with the headhunter autoguns and inflas

zealots are going to kill for this information
I am a zealot
Go kill someone
Wait... how you do data interogator? If boxes not shos?
Sometimes I think about autoclicker when im doing horde clear with the knife
i have a mouse macro to click+hold for 0.5s for heavies when i hit a side button and my lights are bound to mouse wheel down so i never have to click, for some reason clicking with my index finger makes my wrist hurt a lot more than thumb buttons/scrolling
Autoswing and fullauto let you toggle for melee and ranged respectively and it is very useful
There is a mod that lights up all the boxes before you do them
So you know the combination immedeately after you take your hacky thingy
Spam left click and pray. 
Health bars and show next line on interrigator are the only non cheat mods
Nah healthbars is fine
Exactly
I have poor vision and not wasting ammo on a corpse doing a death animation is a big help
imma probably just use this mod collection on nexus called ashax's
seems to have most everything
I dont trust mod collections
Ulgo never trust mods
if you cant trust mod collections then you cant really trust mods
not like mod collections do anything other than compile premade mods
Yee i like picking out my own
fair, more customized that way ofc
I really only use scoreboard and I think the vast majority of people who use mods have scoreboard, they should just make it official like better melk
modding is already so easy idiots get really simple stuff wrong, now you've got compilations for those same people
powerdi should be official since it logs like infinitely more information
They should make their own scoreboard, but we should have one
And if people really don't want one, have the ability to turn it off for themselves, it would be no different than modding one at that point
if the whole point was to reduce toxicity they already missed that boat
Toxicity is an underlying problem that they can't address, any game that has players, with or without a scoreboard, will be toxic, there is way too many insecure people in the world
speaking the truth
just like limiting peoples vocabulary in a game will do nothing to stop them saying 'those' words
Even if they don't use the words you know, they'll make new ones
yeah toxicity cant really be circumvented, they screwed that up as soon as the decision to make a 40k game was made
Any game with player interaction will have a lot of toxic players
blizzard is very recently taking the stance that if you say 'fuck' in a game, you will be perma banned
to me this is wild
And in tide games, especially darktide where teamwork is objectively more important, it's painfully obvious who's dragging their feet, even without a scoreboard
Really it comes with the type of game
i kinda prefer when the internet is the wild west, be whoever say whatever, if those things come back to haunt you that's on you
i don't watch pewdiepie, he's legit after my time 
If you know you know
i have a vague recollection of this
You don't have to watch pewdiepie to know
The bridge heard round the world people called it 
to me it's not really a big deal, what was a big deal is the audience he is speaking to
you've got others spewing vile shit on the net for literal decades
darksydephil comes to mind
Oh 100% I agree, say what you want and the face whatever consequences come of that publicly, but when you talk to kids it's different
isnt an auto clicker just the evolved form of a SNES Turbo controller?
not even evolved, just the same thing
nah its evolved cause that makes it sound cooler :3
also I swear Sire Melk never has any level 4 staff perks for sale when I remember to check
It's been an age since I've played WoW. I thought there was a option for a language filter.
They removed the /spit emote from classic wow lol
So you cant spit on your enemies anymore
NOT THE BRIDGE
I think meat canyon showed the video without the audio in his Markiplier parody
Really? I mean, /spit wasn't classy, but it seems a weird thing to take out in a game with PvP zones where you can kill people.
people started using it on people who paid for real money mount/transmogs
Ooohhhh. Okay. That makes a lot of sense then that they would remo... no... no, that's still a dumb reason to take it out. 😛
people just seem to ignore the fact a block feature exists in every single fucking game since like 2000
if you don't like the shit someone is saying, block them
someone took a small ammo i really wanted FS pls break his knees
When you open a box and someone sweeps everything in it because you have input delay

MY PLASTEEL
Ive cucked people out of ammo because i was hammering interact to insta pick up plasteel
i wish the game had auto pick up for resources if you look at them in range
I'd rather get resources for side objectives than picking stuff up
my eyes are too old for this
I hate people spamming pick up at boxes though.

Fair enough if they're psyker cos no ammo stealing.
But the amount of zealot running ahead then take 1% from big ammo. 
fuck pick ups just give me the 805 plasteel on mission completion
Freedom to look in the box.
Ammo wastage now subtracts your personal plasteel at the end


If you ping plasteel/diamantine and then don't pick it up I will slash your tires
Hide one of the rolly wheels from your chair.
binds diamantine callout to spacebar
DIAMONTEEN
Rebinding pick up to ping

Mark it as "I need it" and block everyone else from picking it up.
that was a "fun" bug
my name is not important
hell yeah just got uncanny for knife
i am a force of nature
Far be it from me to be "enough"
I am a goddamn act of god
If by "Force of nature" you mean that slightly uncomfortable feeling followed by relief when you pass gas, I agree.
nah im testicular torsion
😨
im a crackhead with a deimos
😢
Or the kind of gas that feels like you might be dying, makes you dizzy, and break out in a greasy feeling sweat.
I'm not that 
Yet

5 more years
I have always been. 
When you think you are about to have a heart attack, but it's just a fart, that's when you are really old

aneurysm or gas
The fun card game for ages 45+
just get fibromyalgia it's the exact same guessing game 
shortcut to being old
(also why im terminally online)
Speaking of shortcuts to being old. My cane backup got here today. 🎉
Just regular cane.

YOu can order cane swords online tho
My cane is carbon fiber because acrylic is too heavy.
I've always liked the cane as a stealth weapon ever since the OG Gandalf did it
Staff but same concept
CANE PAIN
It'd probably be easier to get a permit for a gun gun than a cane sword in some U.S states

I live in Texas I can just whip out a balisong
I meant gun cane, but I like gun gun
or a claymore
Does it shoot canes or guns?
Point it at someone and the whole stick flies off like a rocket

Then you shuffle over, reinsert the stick into the handle, pull it out of them, and walk away, all badass like.
Have a puppers to go "fetch" the stick out.
Gunblades don't even really shoot
gunsword all the way
What good is a gun that can't shoot nobody

Cyborgs named Jack
ff8 was wild
Like FF7 was pretty hardcore but it still stayed within its lane if that makes sense
i vastly preferred ff6, 7 and 12
FF8 just went "lmao nah"
i shoudl redo 12
Though my favorite is ff4
my favorite is... ff tactics
tactics is a good game
i have been waiting
for 2 decades now
to do it all again with 100% completion rate
ff3/6 is my favorite ff
i don't wanna die of old age like @lethal lagoon
swear its the only ff where the villain still 'wins' in the end
https://i.imgur.com/inuGTW5.png ran into a fellow psyker
I assume that was EP smite?
nah this is my regular build
don't need to melee

i mostly only melee mutants or ragers that get too close tbh
rofl like no one meleed in that game
think they were playing infantry lasgun as well so they basically had infinite ammo to shoot forever
gaming
29 damage taken lol
just don't get hit 
when you're a zealot and you usually do the more ranged dmg 
That's why you take wildfire. 
Secret of Mana 1, Secret of Mana 2, SAIKEN DENSTSU 3 or trials of mana
secret of mana in eng release is seiken densetsu 2
never played 1 just 2 and 3
trials of mana is 3 remake

any tips for purgatus? is it ever worth using on single targets and should i just use it for hordes instead of melee?
if it's a single target like a monstro, get it to max stacks (you can test the time for this in meat grinder)
then swap
the burn works by going up to like 31 stacks (i think its 31), but when they fall off its 1 stack at a time so a single lmb of the purg will refresh all of your stacks
ohh cool
You should be using purg on everything but crushers and mutants
unless you have uncanny
then them too with a mix of sword
yeah purg does crazy dmg but the game gives you no way of figuring out how stuff works unless you just happen to notice it, or go and test in meat grinder and happen to find it
and the meat grinder sometimes doesnt even work by the same rules of the game
so you end up seeing something in the grinder just to find out it doesnt happen in game or vice versa
i think mods fix some of this
unless your using the illisi i recommend never using that special attack
you are better off forgetting it exists
yeah its the only case where i use it
counterpoint, stab twice
fair lol
Global SB stacks are 31. Purg cap is usually 15. It can go up to 16 if the last application is a crit.
ok so 31 was a correct number just not for the purg XD
aight thx
anyway purg best (entirely my opinion and wrong) staff purely because it enables melee psyker so much and also voidstrike is maidenless
dude i wish there was a blessing for the knives that made you move faster after a weakpoint kill or something
i need my psyker to ZOOM even more
quite literally nothing is as satisfying as playing atoman bowling with a hallway full of heretics
common purg l
purg does look more badass unfortunately
💔
my problem with the void is what isnt it good at
voidstaff is so good its boring
the only staff i really dont like using
purg is the only staff that gives you literally no option to deal with ranged, its why I hate it personally
it has great surpression
yeah if it goes anywhere near them (which it won't because the gunners are sniping you at 550rpm from 98 meters away)
yeah you have to
yeah
with void just point click
or slide into cover
no switching
yeah void is boring
same with surge
with trauma just charge heavy and knock them over
yeah but also not pointlessly limiting
surge has weaknesses without them being crippling in certain scenarios
like if you get swarmed, it's bad, but youre not as fucked as a purg user being sniped
your not screwed anyway, A. you still have tools such as assail or brain burst, B. sliding, dodging and cover work and psyker regens toughness really easily, and C. if your getting swarmed with purg you messed up anyway its a flamethrower
my problem with void is its so good, it makes everything else you have pointless
oh you have a blitz, void does it better
or melee, just void it
my point exactly, you have to switch to other tools because purg is useless in all of those
make purg better, void is fine at its state
purg is fine
disagree
nerf the socks of void
im not gonna lie void is pretty disgustingly OP at this point in time
no ammo
it literally does everything
then make the others better, lower cleave for void
wipes your ass while its at it
the others are fine except trauma which is also overtuned
yes, and no
void did get nerfed by like 25% damage didn't it
it got a small nerf to cara damage but still one shots with surge anyway
you wouldnt have noticed it if it wasnt in the patch notes
at least void didn't get buffed cause bad players dragged down winrate going EP Shield smite instead of charges shield smite
disagree, only thing I think trauma needs is better scaling so it's not completely suboptimal if you don't get a good roll
it could probably use less wild scaling
i have to aim a void staff
i mean smite is not a high bar to clear
simply because it isnt auto aim does not mean you need to be precise with it
no but you wouldnt need to, void just kills them
delete psyker
like cool, smite stuns the, void unalives them
problem solved
I'm not seeing the problem 
smite kills now
with shriek or ep
EP + soulblaze+ vent soulblaze have fun
get kill feeds that look like pre nerf plasma gun
brainless build, ive already gave that build more attention then it deserves
purg should have its infinite cleave annihilated
i would not mind this for both purge and trauma
honestly make wildfire a must take with it XD
i would honestly love that
you people have no fun 
delete staves and blitzes
huge hoards you dont just instantly delete
all psykers are now converted into veterans
ok nope ,
i get fun from overcoming challenge and making full use of my tools
nerf after nerf smh, the anti enjoyment squad has arrived 
i mean it can still be fun
we just have to add in a finite limit for it
that's still high but not literally infinite
things obliterating the map on accident is not the only way for things to be fun
this is the point of the staff, like the whole point
it's what you sacrifice everything else for
and i dont think thats great design
trash enemies have low hitmass and if new purg has a high finite cleave, it'd still go through a lot of them
Lmfao
you need to use purg more
the design is literally make one part of the game irrelevant
by holding right click
+EP interaction is gross
but thats seperate
and i think you are overstating purg's limited range
i can just run up into a ranged patrol and flame their asses, including reapers, because they all get suppressed
yeah
yeah it's great
good thing it's not required
it can be great but its not exactly balanced
in a world where suppression is more nuanced, i'd still kill the infinite cleave
esp when it does have other things going for it
because it is very difficult to balance anything AoE that has no limit of sorts in a horde shooter
thats easy
RN it either invalidates hordes or turns off ranged AI, and thats not counting it killing everything if you are abusing uncanny
make purg flames heal the enemy instead
also probably turn the flame into poxgas to buff them too
e.g., WWZ was a game that implemented target limits for explosions (in fairness, the game has a lot of chokepoints by design)
psyker is activly joining nurgle
put me on the balancing team boys i will fix this game
yeah just preempting the "chokepoint" argument in case they bring that up for WWZ
i so wish friendly fire becomes a modifier in the future
imagine if it was permanently enabled in maelstroms
that would be cool and funny and cool
at the hands of someone unnamed
FF for toughness would be fine
one ogryn frag and the entire game is over
i wonder
smite also stuns your allies
i would always run emp evasion just to piss you off
it does not just kill... i am using hardtide to track the win rate of my builds and it
is one of the best
i stab you.
because i solo queue a lot and people do not know how to handle packs of elites... most of the time
im brain bursting you, im over it
It really is not, it's pretty great actually. If you're playing A5 maelstrom and still clearing with ease, I think you're hitting a skill ceiling and suggesting changes based off of that level of play and not the actual most common level of play. (pubs of middling skill in heresy/damnation.)
except that the high difficulties is also where balance changes actually affect things
if you're in the middle difficulties, who gives a shit
just step up or down
purg was simply not balanced around being able to do high damage to everything in the game
most people do not, statistically
no you shouldnt, nerf uncanny
that what does it
not purg
degenerate strats
yeah im saying remove the interaction
so that it doesnt affect purge
well uncanny does also need a nerf
as i also shouldnt be making carapace irrelevant
simply by headshotting a few tiems
obviously the developers given the broken ability interactions they continue leaving in the game, only patching the most absurd ones like the old forever smite 
5 head shots and armor no longer exists
so fun and interactive, turn everything into a poxwalker with varying lvls of dmg
alright i'll clarify what i meant
"Balance discussions don't have to consider middle difficulties unless we're making radical changes because players in those difficulties can step up or down"
if we were balancing around low dificulties assail wouldnt exist
though that can be remedied with some scaling factor that depends on difficulty or player level
it's less of a problem for other blitzes which are a finite resource, but psyker having blitzes that act more as a third weapon do become problematic in lower difficulties because of the lack of scaling
those aren't the middle difficulties (or to say, they are—but) they are the main, most populated difficulties for most players in the game
alright let me clarify even more
yes we should care about players who play middle difficulties
now can we move on
can we agree on the fact not everything is meant to work the same on every difficulty?
well yeah
apparently not because things are too easy on a5 mael for you 
what point are you even trying to make
I legitimately do not get it
if the highets difficulties are not hard enough, then something obviously has to change
and also, fuck trappers
and such balance considerations do not need to consider middle difficulties because players in those middle difficulties have the option to step up or down
arco
hence why we are asking for nerfs
they are hard enough
not at all
gard
you literally have 2,700 hours in the game
i dont think amount of time is relevant
a lot of the game's difficulty comes from a shitty tutorial
if something is too easy its too easy
I am not taking that seriously 
i am not as good as you think I am
way to much player power, and we say psykers are op, the other classes are supper humans as well
and I play in a braindead way all the time
honestly true
yes you are
i thought the game would be more complicated
i am absolutely not
yeah there could be sweeping nerfs
cuz the tutorial was making it seem more complicated than it was
yeah the game has a lot of mechanics that help the player but doesn't explain them at all and whatnot
you are underestimating the average level of skill players are at and saying it's too easy
is it really that wild
to say that the hardest content in the game
should be properly hard
yeah i dont see how thats a crazy thing to say
if players want an easier experience
just step down
the game literally has multiple difficulty levels
i don't get why "nerfs bad" people always ignore this fact
there are multiple difficulty levels
obviously if sedition becomes too hard for the lower bounds that's something that should be remedied
when you consider the average dt player isn't closing in on nearly 3,000 hours of play, it's not too easy
arco also isnt the only person on the planet clearing HISTG or saying its too easy
what is considered as average hours played actually
my skill in this game has tapered off a long time ago and stagnated
300 or so
wtf im speedrunning
also, I can take a break from this game for a month and still play well
dunning kruger effect is literally on display here
a lot of this game can just be auto-piloted
you can be good and the game can also be too easy
This was originally a bad argument, but then they added aurics, so you can farm normal damns at any skill level for crafting mats

And they definitely power crept every class with patch 13.
4 people just dicking around should not have a 90% clear rate on HISTG regardless of hour count
it is meant to be the hardest content
except vet probably
2,700 hour a5 mael runner saying he's not that good is literally the far end of the dunning Kruger effect
and on the original point, there's no reason to keep purg's infinite cleave around
unless you're talking about weapons
Vet yells loudly
Trivlizes all content.
hes saying hes not as good as you think he is
i am not that good relative to what a dedicated player is
i play extremely braindead builds
i have barely improved on any skill
and I'm saying he is, when you consider the average player isn't on discord or reddit and literally just fucks around
oh that? well unwavering focus...
that guy is who they are balancing around
but i've said numerous times that balance doesn't matter for the "average", the players who are in the middle difficulties
because they can shift around
players at the highest difficulty can not go more up
and I'm saying nerfs would disproportionately affect the majority in favor of a small minority not worth catering to
If we are talking average player, it's someone who got to around lvl 25-30 and then quit.
and i'm saying that it would affect the majority in a meaningless way because they can just step down
also, note that I'm also favoring enemy neerfs as well
i'm not just considering straight up nerfs
Average active player is another subject, but among average active players, cosmetic purchasers are more important
nerf purg infinite cleave and nerf enemy density
yeah i really dont think that malice players are gonna be nearly as affected as you think
average players are in heresy and damnation
what
Average players aren't playing.
i wish we had some data about how many players you have in each diff on average
avg player quit
the average player is someone who picks vet as their first class, plays the game a bit and then gets bored and closes the game cus they were playing low level vet
I mean the median obviously.
and play hd2
median players definitely aren't playing
bruh
yeah most people play on malice and do not move up
the average player is not going to want to move down because the mael tryhards are finding it too easy, it's a bad decision
like textbook terrible
so it's just an optics issue?
not even a balance problem?
just how players are going to perceive it?
can we please just ignore the "how will players perceive this aspect" and just talk about the balance aspect of the game...
Brother, there's like 5k active players and the game sold millions of copies.
If we are talking about maintaining the game and servers, average player means jack shit.
obviously if we had to consider how players perceive things
then we would be significantly more limited
No. I mean on top of disproportionately affecting the avg player, it's terrible in optics as well.
ignoring optics, the average player can step down
some level of perception needs to be kept in mind, but yes, the game should focus on higher diffs for balance
can you refute the fact that players can step down
Why do you think they did that, and having brought it back?
like, when assail was OP and making the game a cakewalk in all difficulties
they just increased the recharge by one second.
thanks for proving my point, and also they didnt bring it back, its a mod
basically, league proved this, lower elos care about perception annoyance, and outliers
They will not do that.
higher elo cares about the actual numbers and performance
so you balance around higher elo/pro first
because those players are more likely to recomnend and spread the game
I don't know what that point is? What "darktide is inherently a casual focused game that eschews competitive features" please tell me lol
You literally do not do that.
That comes secondary.
Unless your game is league or csgo (inherently played by esports types has a comp culture where that is expected*, which darktide is not) you balance around the median level of play
nah
it applies to darktide to
higher level darktide players have the larger audience
