I see this all the time but the result will just be "wow i spent thirty seconds charging a BB on that crusher just for my dickhead teammate to toss a krak at it"

what if we actually had smth that put a special w eakspot on enemies

your entire life with thunderhammer is weakspot rate and yet my combat axe won

Back shots for bosses that ran away

hearty wolf

I had to sacrifice the weakspot for them unfortunately

thorn cedar
#

i assume rate is a % despite it not saying so

blissful solar

that's why my percentage wasnt even higher

#

im being sarcastic btw

maybe

hearty wolf

60% is really fucking good though

#

Much better than the average player

blissful solar
#

my ping was 180 also so many enemies that were alive were no longer alive when i hit them

14 blocks in a match puts you in the top 1%

Well.

The point I was trying to make was that I prefer games where content is released and then a price tag is added for a substantial amount of content.

I don't like mtx as a model. If it's cosmetics only - I'm still against it. But if they insist, I would accept it if there was alternative cosmetics of somewhat decent quality that could be obtained by gameplay

#

And interesting, didn't know the store was that well off

deft stump
#

Heh. there's no good compromise so I just deal with it generally. they can carry me anyway.

If they all go on sale, I'll consider it

thorn cedar
# hearty wolf Well. The point I was trying to make was that I prefer games where content is r...

I mostly just don't care about the quality of cosmetics as a baseline. I'm here for the gameplay, not the drip. Dressing up can be fun (Bloodborne comes to mind) but if it plays like a bunch of busted assholes then no amount of good skins is going to save the game for me.

VT2 had all of its additional content paywalled and it was a pain in the ass. Yeah, you could host the game yourself and get your friends into a DLC map but they still wouldn't be able to join a DLC game otherwise so their matchmaking options become more limited the longer the game exists.

hearty wolf
#

Good gameplay should be a given. Some games just seem to think it's optional xd

thorn cedar
#

The monetary return on skins is pretty high. It's not that every skin outsells or brings in a higher return than the entire game as a product does, but when you compare development time, it's very smart to move your monetization model to what takes the least amount of time with the highest returns and then proffer the benefits to the rest of the community.

patent mango
#

500 flying bosses 0 fun for all of them

deft stump
thorn cedar
#

Like I bought DarkTide for forty bucks on launch. I have had no reason to ever pay another dime since then and we have had all this extra content for free.

#

I still bought skins anyway because FatShark has stolen 6,000hrs of my life at this point and they have saved me way more money by virtue of not buying other games anymore lmao

hearty wolf
#

I understand that

quartz barn
#

ye i always decide based on time spent vs money spent

hearty wolf
#

I kind of abuse that ratio

deft stump

Look, you can't look at Lady Maria and tell me you don't like her outfit!!!

#

Warframe is a good game to bring into this context whenever we talk about monotisation models. Free updates and it's basically community funded.

It's absolutely absurd.

then i come over to darktide and people are modding more noise onto their screen

it confuses me

weary idol

surely you can spare an E press in there for your ailing melee weapon

hearty wolf

I have a friend who I used to play with and that also somewhat ruined the experience I guess

patent mango
hearty wolf

Since he was giga busted and could do any content

#

There was no reason I should do it myself

weary idol

But like, what I was skipping wasn't that substantial? Credit farming for example. Not exactly the most thrilling thing.

blissful solar

maybe weakspot rate is one of the best stats to try and get up to get your general skill up

Added at UnL

fathom adder

I mean, it's kinda unknown still because it was notoriously dogshit on the Zealot Flamer

thorn cedar
#

its still pretty bad in terms of opportunity cost

Haven't heard any different about it on Inferno staff

thorn cedar

especially on purgatus, idk why you would run it over blaze/nexus/w/e

patent mango
#

wrath on purgatus

long osprey
#

For havoc when there are a lot of enemies stacked that take a lot of dots to kill like maulers

#

They can get one shot

#

I feel like it should be 30% chance on trigger instead of 20%

thorn cedar
#

"The explosion spawns on the center mass hitzone of the killed enemy, has a radius of 3m (Flamer) or 4m (Inferno Staff), below average armor damage modifiers, deals decent stagger and 400 base damage (Flamer) or 240 base damage (Inferno Staff) which decreases from center to max range. Explosion damage can be increased by 'rending' / 'brittleness', by damage buffs (talents, blessings, weapon perks, debuffs) and power level buffs (e.g. Blaze Away)."

#

thats significantly less damage than PC would already do

weary idol
#

240 damage doesn't even kill a fuckin' poxwalker man

#

why is fatshark like this

patent mango
#

cool effect
slop

#

keeps happening

fathom adder
#

And they have to die of a dot tick, not simply to die while on fire, which means if anything it would actually interfere with itself

weary idol

every cool effect is just destroyed by dogshit numbers, or extremely stupid design decisions

power maul double explosion

relic blade explosion at max heat

every single block related blessing in the game

marble crater

Why does it need to kill a poxwalker? You were already blasting them with the purgatus as well KEKW_ogryn

weary idol
#

and then there's shit like uncanny strike and slaughterer that are super basic "deal more damage by dealing damage" effects and their numbers are huge

kinetic flayer is unironically like the only usable cool effect

fathom adder
# weary idol every cool effect is just destroyed by dogshit numbers, or extremely stupid desi...

I seem to recall Fatshark's lead combat designer struggling at like Champion difficulty in VT2

Plus the other usual suspects of:

  • Old dead engine full of spaghetti
  • Dev who makes a talent doesn't know how things stack because nothing is consistent (it was inconsistent from the start, and some things deliberately changed e.g. from additive to multiplicative stacking during balance passes)
  • RNG-laden gear system (which was only recently pared back) requires that good things must be rare, which in turn requires that most things must be shit
  • Possibly Ivory Tower Game Design (some options are purposely made better than others in order to "reward system mastery") but I doubt this is deliberately done anymore, if it ever really was

is the force sword push attack the worst push attack in the game?

no

not by a long shot

is it good stagger i guess?

it knocks down crushers and opens bulwark shields

Great range, can apply uncanny stacks, unless that was fixed?

Deimos and Mk8 FGS push attacks also lead into very strong heavy thrusts. Don't recall offhand what Illisi or Mk6 FGS do

thorn cedar
#

nothing special

weary idol
#

MK6 isn't anything special because it just gets the strong thrust in its normal combo

#

anyways my vote for worst push attack in the game is ogryn power maul

Nothing quite like using the Deimos push attack and Heavy 1 follow-up to absolutely bully a Crusher or Bulwark

when your attack speed becomes so high the animation isn't even visible anymore

#

then you know you're playing it right

fathom adder
# marble crater Point is they require different skills, even if they understood everything about...

My point was that the designers likely don't actually understand much about the game given both facts of them struggling to play at middling difficulty and making highly questionable balancing decisions, of the kind that shouldn't sneak through even if they were only familiar with the theory involved.

The engineer designing the car in this analogy doesn't need to be able to win races against professional drivers, but he (and thus his design, and the people driving it) are certainly at a disadvantage if he can't even drive an F1 car around the track, and is unfamiliar with the entire affair beyond mechanical engineering itself, the basic physics involved, and driving his automatic sedan around town.

I always said Agile (or infinite dodge in general, like the Force Swords used to have) teaches you bad habits and takes a blessing slot that could be used for more offense. Stayed away from it myself.

# marble crater I would use uncanny riposte on both

what perks you like? I was thinking flak for general clear, and maybe carapace to help when you're pressed by crushers etc the flame staff couldn't hold back?

Hi guys what do you recommed for single target damage?

#

Void/Electro Staff or Deimos sword?

nocturne dust

Psyker doesn't have great single target damage if you want something on the level of bosses

#

Deimos and DS4 are your best melee options (or FGS), or you can use EK/Inferno for ranged options against bosses

marble crater

BB isn't great, but if you want to use it, its main purpose is single target

yeah,but as I was using it was as my main weapon

inferno build

but thatโ€™d only be for a full fire build

which is already extremely strong

nocturne dust

Make Blazing Spirit apply on hit and with ranged slice, and make Warp Slice allow you to gain charge passively/hold charge

#

then full fire build with Inferno + FGS pogryn

idek if that'd be strong or not

since fgs is a lil goofed on staff builds

Let ES automatically reload

#

Reduce infiltrate cd by 5 seconds

#

The ES modifiers are also pretty shit

#

There is no reason to take the ally highlight modifier because its only 5 seconds and ES is inherently greedy. You dont want allies to steal kills that could extend ES

#

The other two ES modifiers can easily be ignored since they dont do much. The highlight all human ranged is okay since you can extend ES for a long time.

what's the soulblaze stack cap for Blazing Spirit?

12?

nocturne dust

6 on staff, 12 on melee iirc

long wharf
#

16 on staff, I believe

nocturne dust
#

no, inferno is 15 with 16 on a crit on the last hit that still decays to 15

#

but it doesn't have the Blazing Spirit blessing

#

I'm talking about Trauma

long wharf
#

I'm wondering if blazing spirit greatsword is worth playing with

nocturne dust
#

Nope

#

Blazing Spirit is only useful on Trauma

long wharf
#

what a waste.

fringe garden

It's a trap

#

It exists to make us dream about fire swords and what they would be like

wispy bay
#

Blazing spirit kind of work on Force sword if you try hard enough.

long wharf
#

so most people run unstable power + riposte, I imagine?

nocturne dust
#

wrath + something

#

FGS has low cleave

long wharf
#

... of course it does.

nocturne dust
#

unstable power/riposte/shred

fringe garden
#

I do unstable shred and warp splitting

nocturne dust
#

Its cleave is fine if you also have warp splitting, yeah

#

at least outside of Havoc

fringe garden
#

you can interchange splitting with wrath

vernal temple
#

hmmm, now I kinda wonder, wouldn't the "LMB surge staff spam build" make more sence with a Voidstrike staff instead? Since you're using the Surge blessing and have a high crit chance, those charged double orbs would be more convenient that shooting lightning when you need to RMB, no?

vernal temple
#

y tho

nocturne dust
#

Voidstrike RMB is slower

#

by a lot

#

and EK has a crit stat

#

which means its lmb is stronger

vernal temple
#

so it's default crit chance is higher?

#

is that what you mean?

nocturne dust
#

more crit chance and more crit dmg

long wharf
#

what about a tanky setup with Deflector+Momentum

fringe garden
#

viable if you take warp splitting

nocturne dust
#

Momentum is alright

#

FGS doesn't care too much about blessings

#

It will perform regardless

#

You just will have more annoyance with hordes without some way to boost its cleave

long wharf
#

the heavy attack damage difference between the mk6 and mk8 is really noticeable

nocturne dust
#

mk8 has a strong stab after its push attack

#

it is more damaging than mk6, but worse DPS overall due to the push taking up time

covert umbra
#

Howdy fellas, is it worked out what the best perks are for the Blaze force Greatsword?
Also, Is Warp Resistance the dump stat? (I usually play Zeal or Vet)

yes, dump warp res

always dump warp res unless you're using Voidstrike, then dump blast radius

FGS= Force Greatsword

nocturne dust
#

Both mks should be able to handle crushers in 3 heavies with extremely minimal buffs

#

you can easily get to 2 hits with both as well, provided you're on the right side of the tree

wispy bay
#

2 hits if all of the buff are on

crude cape
wispy bay
#

Otherwise, more like 4-5 heav hits.

nocturne dust
#

uh, no

hearty wolf
#

Where's this 4-5 shit coming from

nocturne dust
#

with +carapace, it's 3

#

and there's no reason to not use +cara

hearty wolf
#

Maybe if you aim at the feet?

nocturne dust
#

because FGS does so much damage to everything that isn't ogryns

hearty wolf

We should only test body breakpoints because there's no guarantee you can weakspot

It's like crit rate

brain burst cant crit

ye both count

but still pale in comparison to a flat 50% from an EP charge

Iโ€™ll only take rending node when the math shows it is actually impactful in gameplay/or nerf uncanny

Cause er is too good for sustained dmg

thorn cedar

10% to only warp damage and only above 75% pretty much means its never gonna be good

Right click pins a group of things and is situationally useful

i do wish you could take smite w/o lightning storm

nothing is really stopping you

Hi, zealot main here learning psyker. Why do psyker weapons want to roll low base warp resistance? I saw a video saying that I want like 30% warp resistance on this but don't understand why

summer prairie
#

it's a convenient way to build up peril for your talents/blessings and for that weapon specifically you essentially never use it more than once in a row

surreal magnet
#

isn't peril bad?

marble crater
#

Warp resistance is also the stat with the worst scaling on our weapons

#

Peril is good

summer prairie
#

peril is only bad if you are at 100% and generate more

#

or need it for blocking, I guess

marble crater
#

More peril = more damage, more damage reduction

summer prairie
#

it's mostly good for warp rider talent, one with the warp, warp nexus and unstable power blessings

upper sun
summer prairie
#

and generating toughness

upper sun
#

in short ALWAYS GOON always have high peril

surreal magnet
#

so i want to try to be in higher levels of peril most of the time?

marble crater
#

Yes

deft stump
marble crater

I aim for around 70-80, then cast staff or other things, quell a bit, cast again

#

Clad, what are you thinking?

upper sun
surreal magnet
#

ah i see i wasn't thinking about one with the warp and warp rider

#

ok i get it now

#

thanks guys

summer prairie
#

also good for quickly getting peril up for creeping flames shriek

surreal magnet
#

yeah im starting to see the loop looking at venting shreik

marble crater
#

And to get it up only to quell again for toughness chadgryn

deft stump
marble crater
#

He was thinking about his psyker

upper sun
strong gulch
#

Specifically in FGS it's recommended to be around 30 warp resist is because two specials get you to the peril needed to apply max soulblaze stacks with shriek with creeping flames mod. 85% peril is an easy mark to get max stacks (6 soulblaze stacks).

#

Depends on your peril management talents.

wind spruce
strong gulch
#

But also you can be lower than 85% peril, but due to timing and rounding, 85% is a safer option.

83.33% is the minimum iirc.

upper sun

oh yeah also
