but theres also people screaming in mourningstar chat occasionally about how it sucks

[pale prairie]

Hehehehehe

[deft stump]

I had Megumin pull all aggroo and boom EVERYTHING.

[pale prairie]

Wise strategy

Bait is always effective

[deft stump]

She was on Zealot, is fine... Till Gloriana and she goes flying as well.

[pale prairie]

But she flies so beautifully

[deft stump]

Really fun when those two like learning to fly.

[pale prairie]

This aggravates me but you have to admit it’s funny when the door opens and they are already diving

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-right-idk-confused-i-dont-know-gif-9945076779520634348

[deft stump]

Try that one doorway after the first event of Gloriana.

GF/'Megumin' rushes in and gets blasted to a funni area.

Like, FLUNG.

[hard widget]

psyker needs a new staff

also gun psyker with vraks iag is insane

[pale prairie]

I swear they increased the yeet physics for this event

[hard widget]

they did

you get flung across the room

[deft stump]

They did.

[pale prairie]

I haven’t tried it yet still playing recon

[hard widget]

i prefer recon on vet

but vraks iag on psyker

[deft stump]

All explosions send you flying further and faster.

[pale prairie]

How’s it for killing specials? I usually only pull out gun for far away stuff and maybe bosses. So my ammo Econ with recon is great

[hard widget]

great thats the best part

[deft stump]

Is why they also added the tentacle heads in.

[pale prairie]

Hmmmmm my only concern is running dry since I try to only grab ammo after other classes are topped up

[hard widget]

vraks is good at long range too, but at long range it takes a second to aim it compared to recon las

[pale prairie]

Guess I’ll have to try it. I like the idea of having a boss killer in my back pocket

[candid temple]

I had that earlier today,

[weary idol]

vraks iag is a death beam that kills anything you point it at (if you have high enough finesse damage and crit)

crushers and monstrosities included

[pale prairie]

Whooooaaa

Interesting interesting

My testing was third to half of magazine on dedicated gunner build both on arbites and veteran.

That's what it takes for consecutive weakspot hits in the psykanium.

For crushers

[plucky flax]

Anyone wanna play 1 or 2 rounds of special events meme?

Getting ledged guaranteed.

[jovial juniper]

another convert

I am addicted to iag gunker

[azure lotus]

I mean i could do a lotta damage with melee especial with both the force sword and great sword

Especially with rhe force great sword

I only use the special to expell large crowds of enemies

[zealous wing]

thats its point

[azure lotus]

Thrust attac is good for carapace enemies

[zinc phoenix]

Yes. And also get practice dodging the sort of enemies that cause trouble later on and learning to duel bosses

[azure lotus]

Just push then to stagger fora bit and strigger the thrust and bood tons of damage, and with headhsots

That and add crits for perk

Crits 😩

[zealous wing]

what difficulty you mainly on atm

[azure lotus]

Done with herecy, working my way through damnation

But rn im just focusing on lvl up my weapons

[zealous wing]

[azure lotus]

[plucky flax]

Auric?

[zealous wing]

HAH no

[plucky flax]

I died at mid event.

No stealth is too hard to solo this.

[zealous wing]

i will not do event on heresy+

[plucky flax]

Why?

[pale prairie]

Did you die to explosion fly?

[zealous wing]

its too annoying

[plucky flax]

No just got overran.

[zealous wing]

when we did event on auric i did not have fun

[pale prairie]

Ooof

[zealous wing]

not even when we win, its just not fun

[plucky flax]

Too many specials and shooters and I can't do the objective.

[azure lotus]

Curious, add for later so u can show me

[plucky flax]

I need 1 meatbag to take some pressure off of me. 🙁

[pale prairie]

What’s getting me is the bursters from multiple different directions

[plucky flax]

Getting to the mid event though was easy.

[zealous wing]

wanna send me a squad invite or a friend request ingame and ill accept either

[azure lotus]

Ok im at work rn so i cant but add me here so i wont forget ya

YAY

[deft stump]

Why do you think I say 300+ ping gaming.

[white valley]

Imagine being NA

EU is way better

[pale prairie]

Not from what I hear about your servers

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-laughing-hysterically-gif-26398146

[zealous wing]

[deft stump]

That's 250-280 ping if west. Higher than EU if east.

[zealous wing]

otherwise i've been fine

Well, till we get to ru servers.

this was at the half way point.

[tulip kettle]

few games yesterday we were at over 4 million dmg as a team by the half way point

idk whats going on with director atm

@zealous wing i will do event with you in 5 mins or so if you like

no uprising tho - ill settle for heresy 🙂

[zinc phoenix]

you guys still going?

i will play barbie and absorb all boom

[plucky flax]

Nein I eat soon

[zinc phoenix]

NOOOOOOOOOODLE

[plucky flax]

A guy in last game said he never felt so useless before

[zinc phoenix]

i duoed most of the way thru the event on auric, its ok

[zealous wing]

k

[plucky flax]

Dunno why he did gud

[zinc phoenix]

i got yeeted off the side by bon or wed have won sycorax

ok i will go clubbing on barbie

[tulip kettle]

ngl event kinda ez with trauma

[patent steeple]

I have noticed that Plogryns and BoNs are a lot more common in auric now. (also, it could just be that I haven't really used elite damage aura instead of the crit one all that much on Blaze Trauma, but my wildfire procs kill everything a lot more than before this event)

[zealous wing]

ye i died more than he did, but it mightve been the lightning and the FGS slashes, tbh, when a psyker clears a horde in less than a second anyone would feel useless at that moment, until a crusher comes in

[zinc phoenix]

crusher is very manageable with fgs

many crushers, less so

[tulip kettle]

you have no team mates by the second room though 😂

[zinc phoenix]

kek

my biggest issue with the event is people dip out from rage

[zealous wing]

in the auric match, all 4 stuck with

[plucky flax]

Same as last event. The mission timer is too short

[zinc phoenix]

we didnt get a single hotjoin hero, it was ridic

[plucky flax]

So if they leave it's a new map on the board and no one else can join

[zinc phoenix]

idk why they are doing it that way, its absolutely mental

[plucky flax]

Yeah such a shit change

Just put up more maps lol stop doing the shitty maps roulette

[zinc phoenix]

"have a group or simply play with bots for the rest of the hour because some dude shat his pants over getting barreled"

[zealous wing]

need 3 more event missions total, and then i can be done with this heckery

[plucky flax]

I need like 7 more I think

[tulip kettle]

awesome, im just making coffee and stuff then ill jump in with ya

[radiant frigate]

many crushers is more of a ds4 situation

[plucky flax]

Sad time

[zealous wing]

sweet

[zinc phoenix]

🤢

i will ds5 at most

[radiant frigate]

i know but what other weapon type can solokill 30 crushers

[zinc phoenix]

if i cant larp as a pirate i simply wont use that sword

[radiant frigate]

i respect it

[pale prairie]

Lmao ds4 is so good though

[zinc phoenix]

ds4 is boring

[zealous wing]

then larp as a pirate

get eyepatch

[zinc phoenix]

it was cool when it was a niche rare thing nobody used but now every tom dick and meta uses it

“Yeah nobody uses this FGS thing. It’s super niche!”

[zinc phoenix]

fgs is fun tho

also most havoc psyker are too big of coward to melee

[plucky flax]

Tru needs buff. Make it faster

[zealous wing]

i do miss deimos. thinking i'll delete my 3 old builds that i wont ever use, and see if i can make a decent build on my own, then check with pro builds see how i did

Damn that is really close. I guess it’s more of a “RMB better/more shriek vs soulblaze damage better/special hunter”

[ripe obsidian]

It's close so far. Still gathering data

i got to do the "bad sounds" map with the giant fan you have to turn off and it was mostly non-carapace

i did so much murder

it was unholy

[ripe obsidian]

Unholy, you say?

[zinc phoenix]

Indeed, practically chaotic

[zinc phoenix]

It’s also just comically fun to play

First havoc I’ve popped myself in a while tho, you are at 100 with it at basically all times

Went in for a rub to KO a captain and boop

[pale prairie]

He’s playing like an arbiter lite! Just shotgun all the time

[white valley]

Sounds like wildfire is the teeniest bit better for you

[ripe obsidian]

Seems to be. Not by any significant amount

[white valley]

No but wildfire can lead to the hilarious random special kill combo with kinetic flayer

"Huh, I killed a sniper? There was a sniper?"

[radiant frigate]

i find that usually such a situation stems from shriek and not wildfire or kf

[white valley]

I don't use shriek but I see what you mean

[cosmic sigil]

Since the last patch, I have a ec 2014 / 2001 error every run after 1 min or 2.... Am I the only one?

game is totally unplayable

[radiant frigate]

so what is it then? inferno bubble or somesuch?

[white valley]

Aye

[radiant frigate]

sorry to hear that but i cannot help

i assume you have tried validating files?

or updated mods if you run them

[cosmic sigil]

yeah

[radiant frigate]

do the errors themselves offer any insight on what might be wrong?

updated drivers recently?

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-among-us-animated-just-some-plastic-gif-18581623

[cosmic sigil]

graphic drivers yeah

[summer prairie]

Not really, 2001 is just "non-existing channel" and just a server disconnection I guess. 2014 is pong_timeout which is probably the same thing essentially

[radiant frigate]

may or may not have had an impact

[cosmic sigil]

but the problem is network related

[plucky flax]

Pong

[radiant frigate]

the machine spirit works in mysterious ways

i've mostly been playing wow lately

[hearty wolf]

Ok game time

[cosmic sigil]

every mob start sliding and well, disco

[pale prairie]

Fair enough….we all take breaks. I am sure it was cause you were getting flamed here

[tulip kettle]

me and hex doing event but ill join after

[radiant frigate]

no it's more that R🐝🍵s kind of killed my desire to play

plus expansion launch so i have to scam people for gold to pay rent

but yeah

getting flamed is actually inconsequential

[pale prairie]

Ohhhh man and I thought I resented the rentacops

[pale prairie]

Look if you scam people on WoW you are immune to flames

You ARE the flames

[radiant frigate]

i only scammed people for a little bit of gold, which i then scammed myself for (investment that didn't pay off)

[pale prairie]

That was said without judgement

Damn WoW has become the new crypto

You’re a crypto bro KAT

[radiant frigate]

look all i'm saying is, if people didn't want to get scammed, they should check the market for the price of the parts of the thing they're buying

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/out-of-line-anthony-mackie-sam-wilson-falcon-the-falcon-and-the-winter-soldier-gif-21182970

[radiant frigate]

not my fault they paid me slightly more than i paid for the sum of the parts

free money is free money

i would consider that a scam

[marble crater]

Outrageous

[pale prairie]

This is fucking trading penny stocks or algorithm trading hahaha

I respect the hustle

[radiant frigate]

i take 8 stocks and turn them into a fund

sell the fund to someone at "reduced" price

buy 8 more stocks, repeat

[deft stump]

Is like buy orders on steam for 10% of the item cost.

[pale prairie]

I guess that’s the difference between a German and an Austrian huh?

[radiant frigate]

money achieved

[radiant frigate]

markets gonna market

they have since plummeted

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-of-wall-street-gif-25830726

[pale prairie]

Oh no

[radiant frigate]

every now and then i would get messages from people that got wise to what i was doing

[pale prairie]

Hahahahaha yeah it’s crazy the online market for digital products

[marble crater]

Maybe, there are areas in Germany with a stereotype related to money

[radiant frigate]

"why are you asking this much when the parts are cheaper?"
yes my friend that is the scam i'm running now be quiet

[pale prairie]

“How else am I motivated to do this if not for profit?”

[radiant frigate]

best part though?

advertise that i'm selling something i haven't yet bought

[marble crater]

What is being sold and what parts? (I don't want to scroll up)

[pale prairie]

Making gamers mad?

[deft stump]

Then sell it for like... 70%~profits.

[pale prairie]

😬

[radiant frigate]

find a buyer? then i buy the parts and make The Thing

free money

[pale prairie]

WoW something

[radiant frigate]

in particular, something called Darkmoon Cards

[cosmic sigil]

SMH

[ripe obsidian]

The deep lore of Kat the Scammer?

[zinc phoenix]

People who buy something with that name deserve a scam

[marble crater]

Time and labor costs money, fine to charge for that. Not a scam

[radiant frigate]

in essence you combine the right cards into a deck and then you can exchange that for a good piece of starter gear

[pale prairie]

Look I know zero about you but it is completely in character with what I DO know about you that you would craft and sell ”Darkmoon Cards”

[radiant frigate]

thing is, buying the cards and turning them into a deck is zero labor

labor was making the things

[zinc phoenix]

If it’s zero labor nobody would buy it

I used to hustle people for rare trash in guild wars forever and ever ago 😂 that was a scam, I’d get a fortune for something worth pennies

[radiant frigate]

it's just that the asking price at the market for the full thing is higher than the individual parts too

so i can offer a "discount" in relation

and still come out on top

didn't last too long though

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/bane-existence-bridgerton-gif-4433208768788097770

[radiant frigate]

but hey, everyone involved thinks they got a good deal

the ones making the cards got their sale, i scammed someone who thought they got a good deal

everyone wins

[zinc phoenix]

You’re not scamming that’s just arbitrage

[pale prairie]

This honestly sounds like financial speculation. So a job and work haha

[radiant frigate]

it is honestly

[marble crater]

Cost for gathering all the pieces

[zinc phoenix]

You’re making money on the diff between buy and sell on various components, not faking the value of the items

[marble crater]

Kat is trying too hard to be considered a scammer

[pale prairie]

Sourcing

[pale prairie]

Yeah does she know that’s a negative English word?

[radiant frigate]

the next layer (that didn't pay off) is that you can only exchange these decks for the appropriate piece of gear every other week so the actual gear piece would go up in value on the off weeks

[marble crater]

Probably, Austrian education is not that bad

[radiant frigate]

bought some more cards before the turn-in week, hoping to sell them after the next turn-in week as finished products

[zinc phoenix]

Their painting classes seem to have some serious side effects tho

[pale prairie]

But the oxygen is lower up in those mountains

[radiant frigate]

but unfortunately i did not account for the addition of catchup gear in that timeframe, so they became less relevant

so ended up losing some on that

[fresh reef]

does Illisi have guaranteed crits on its special?

[radiant frigate]

but oh well

live and learn

[marble crater]

No

[radiant frigate]

not unless you make it so

bloodthirsty chain time

[pale prairie]

Blizzard is diabolical to make this complicated of an in game economy and have such mediocre games lately

[zinc phoenix]

The real hustle is always the off market transactions

[fresh reef]

I'm only asking because I can't make it not crit in the psykhanium

so either it has absurd crit rate or I'm unbelieveably lucky

[summer prairie]

look at your blessings

[marble crater]

Are you using the guaranteed crit blessing?

[radiant frigate]

the people make the economy

it is what it is

[zinc phoenix]

Most games have banned off market stuff because people like me made such a mint

[fresh reef]

not using bloodthirsty

[zinc phoenix]

Scamming the rubes

[fresh reef]

I have precog and deflector lol

[radiant frigate]

really now

i mean it would be cool if true

[fresh reef]

like, seriously

I counted

[pale prairie]

Yeah but having off weeks and buyweeks?

[radiant frigate]

they made it better actually

[fresh reef]

wait hang on I might be stupid

[radiant frigate]

it used to just be one week per month to turn these in 😂

[marble crater]

I think the word is biweekly actually

[pale prairie]

Speaking of scams…..

[zinc phoenix]

Eve online had the ability to sell shares in a “corporation” and then pay dividends with it + a forum where you could market it. I did so many pump and dumps for a few months to avoid having to actually grind cash I was able to stay subscribed for many many years 😂 that’s scamming

[fresh reef]

crit weakspot has a different color than normal crit right? for damage numbers?

[radiant frigate]

i respect it

[fresh reef]

I only just realized I was exclusively hitting heads lol

[marble crater]

Smh

[radiant frigate]

should have different hitmarker too

[fresh reef]

[radiant frigate]

like orange doublecross is crit headshot

doublecross is headshot

orange is crit

[pale prairie]

The beauty of English is that I can insist it is in fact buyweekly and then make it so through slang and urban dictionary. It’s a week in which things can be bought instead of the week in which they cannot be

[fresh reef]

gotcha

[zinc phoenix]

It’s amazing the number of people who believe that in a video game with no courts and no enforcement of contract that you will actually give them money Tuesday for money they give you today

[pale prairie]

I am combining words!

[fresh reef]

goes to show how often I test breakpoints

(never)

[marble crater]

Very German

[summer prairie]

some mod reverses the colors, forgot which one

[radiant frigate]

biweekly and bimonthly can mean the same thing depending on how you want to interpret it

every two weeks? twice a month? find out!

[fresh reef]

also does the illisi special have infinite cleave?

[radiant frigate]

no but it has a lot

[fresh reef]

if not, what's the cleave value?

[marble crater]

Umfahren is the opposite of umfahren

[pale prairie]

Okay Eve is so fucking insane. Just absolutely bonkers

[radiant frigate]

VERY important distinction

[pale prairie]

What the fuck

[zinc phoenix]

It’s ok, it’s just a fun game to scam people in

Now I’m too old to have time to part people from their money for my own entertainment

[radiant frigate]

in particular, one means to run something over, one to drive around something

[pale prairie]

No it’s crazy to me that guilds have real world money tied into a fucking game. Actual money is lost during wars

[pale prairie]

But

They

Are

The

Same

Word

[radiant frigate]

oh i'm not going that far don't you worry

[radiant frigate]

different intonation!

i just pay my subscription with ingame gold

[marble crater]

UMfahren vs umFAhren

[pale prairie]

Yeah you seem like a very risk averse scammer

[pale prairie]

Just when I was starting to love German

[pale prairie]

Yeah I love that English uses both Latin and Greek prefixes for stuff it makes no sense

[marble crater]

That's what you get when your language is just 3 languages in a trenchcoat

[ripe obsidian]

3?

Not enough

Proto-German, Frisian, French, Nordic, Greek, Latin. More I am probably forgetting

[pale prairie]

Yeah it’s more like dozens

And then we just grab words too

Schadenfreude

Makes me reach for my top hat and snuffbox

[pale prairie]

Ya know I am starting to think you’re a drow

[marble crater]

Schadenfreude is awesome

[pale prairie]

Glad you enjoy your word

Lmao

[radiant frigate]

what makes you say that

[pale prairie]

I mean we are all here to see UnsanctionedPsyker to fall 3 flights of stairs right?

[radiant frigate]

i'm more a fan of seeing R🐝🍵s get barreled

Almost too much

[pale prairie]

An excellent scene specially with the armor

[marble crater]

I really want to click it, but I also really want to save all peak Minthara dialog for my playthrough

[pale prairie]

Save it

Its before act 3 so you are very likely to actually experience it lmao

[marble crater]

Imagine how sad I was when I learned you can't recruit her until act 2

[radiant frigate]

[ripe obsidian]

I've been thinking about playing Runescape again. It's been probably 5 years since my last relapse into the game. Maxed out my RS3 character and got bored. But with all the popularity OSRS has right now, it's tempting.

[pale prairie]

Sounds chill and relaxing to be honest

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah. RS3 was nice for AFKing and numbers going up

[zinc phoenix]

I never hear that, I always knock her out and take her stuff in act 1 😂

It’s free money!

I do not negotiate with goblins, I walk in and burn everything

[marble crater]

Will be my second playthrough after I'm done with this one and I plan to go proper evil

[ripe obsidian]

I snuck through the goblin camp and threw or shoved every single one into the bottomless pits.

[pale prairie]

It’s official Six is a METAGAMER

[zinc phoenix]

You didn’t feed em all to the spiders? I love tossing them in there with thunder abilities 😂

[pale prairie]

On honor mode difficulty the spiders are kind of pushovers unless you do it one at a time and that can take a while lmao

[zinc phoenix]

The fall is pretty good still + I’m pretty sure the one boss makes them his buds now

[pale prairie]

It is fun to convince them to help

[ripe obsidian]

I think I threw the Hobgoblin miniboss down there, and he killed the spiders

I felt sad about that

[zinc phoenix]

I talked with animals them one time and after that I just barbecued em

No peace between man and spider 😤

Also I hoarded every single explosive barrel in the game in my camp chest

I’m planning to use them in the final fight

All of them

Not quite sure about the logistics of that due to the sheer weight but I’m sure I’ll figure something out

[ripe obsidian]

Act 3 spoiler, relevant to weight: ||I thought you were supposed to get Wyll's dad's body out of the undersea prison, so I kept save scumming to figure out a way to save everyone and also carry the body out||

[pale prairie]

Oh man that mission has turned into stupid shenanigans so many times everytime I run it

[zinc phoenix]

I just used teleport spells

You can open a dimensional gate

[ripe obsidian]

I used... a lot of Haste.

[zinc phoenix]

That sorta trivializes all of it

Haste eh I didn’t really bother

[ripe obsidian]

I think my D'urge was sprinting like 200 feet per turn and opening all the doors

[pale prairie]

It’s difficult when you honor mode it…….ill tell you sometime when I don’t have to worry about spoilers

[zinc phoenix]

? No it isn’t

You literally just open a gate in front of the dad and he walks in

[pale prairie]

When you do it with the goal of get everyone out and save dad

No deaths no save scumming

[zinc phoenix]

I got everyone out on honor mode 🤷‍♀️ it was easy

[pale prairie]

And difficulty mods

😭

[zinc phoenix]

I made no deals and ate no worms

I refuse to use stupid lame mindflayer shit

[pale prairie]

||So when you teleport him out you need to wait until the spiders appear. Otherwise they appear INSIDE THE SHIP||

[zinc phoenix]

I mean 😂

Because I wasn’t doing any goofiness or cheese I didn’t have to worry about that

I walked him out, the cutscene I didn’t know played, I gated him

[pale prairie]

||and yeah you can make them harmless with some concentration spells but then THEY WILL EXPLODE DURING THE CINEMATIC OR RIGHT AFTER||

[zinc phoenix]

I was even missing spells because I didn’t realize I wouldn’t get a rest

[pale prairie]

Look some of us jump into honor mode and don’t read ahead about how encounters play out…. We just go “teleport in first round that’s a good idea!”

[zinc phoenix]

I didn’t know what would happen, I just had dimensional gate because I use it a lot

For stuff

[pale prairie]

Did the spiders appear?

[zinc phoenix]

Yeah

[pale prairie]

See I was too efficient

[zinc phoenix]

Yep

[pale prairie]

The cutscene played after I already gated him which was funny

[zinc phoenix]

I did honor mode as my first run so I didn’t really know what would happen at any point

[ripe obsidian]

Is honor mode in BG3 as punishing as in DOS2?

[zinc phoenix]

Scariest part was when some demon jumped me in that big temple 😂

[pale prairie]

It’s like hard mode but only a single save that the game maintains and if you party wipe it deletes it

[ripe obsidian]

DOS2 is the first game I played with permadeath. Didn't fully grasp what it entailed and took a fight I knew I would lose.

[zinc phoenix]

I told him to pound sand as I do with anyone evil looking who wants to negotiate and then he was like “me and forty of my closest friends will shoot you”. Well, misty step minthara said actually go fuck yourself smite biatch

[pale prairie]

You can still revive characters but you need to not all go down

[ripe obsidian]

So just as punishing. Gotcha

[zinc phoenix]

Do what I do when shit goes bad: run the fuck away

I almost got wiped by the owlbear and the spider boss in act 1

[ripe obsidian]

It was the bridge troll in DOS2's 2nd act.

[zinc phoenix]

He amused me

[ripe obsidian]

He has like 5x as much health as the previous boss, heals each round, and can one-bop anyone when you first meet him

[zinc phoenix]

I decided to negotiate because he claimed to be a legitimate tax collector which I thought was hilarious

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/skill-issue-simply-a-difference-in-skill-frog-dancing-skill-gif-21877908

[ripe obsidian]

I was feeling cocky after steamrolling all of act 1 with 2 characters

Did not realize that I couldn't reload a save, ha.

[pale prairie]

I remember murdering every living thing on tutorial island to max my level

[zinc phoenix]

Did you go with the lone wolf thing? I loved the duo of Lohse and psycho elf

[ripe obsidian]

I think I did, yeah

[hearty wolf]

@ripe obsidian

play :(

[ripe obsidian]

My duo was always Fane and Red Prince

[zinc phoenix]

Great stuff. I made the elf grow tentacle or something

[ripe obsidian]

I did support/summoner Fane + transmog/2h Prince

[ripe obsidian]

Will someone steal my blue fire?

[zinc phoenix]

I think I did one shooting fireballs and the other stabbing people and both able to fly

[hearty wolf]

noes. We do event or havoc?

The event seems easy

[ripe obsidian]

Any game that allows summoning, I will summon.

My Skyrim characters don't turn into stealth archers, they turn into dual-summon monsters

[patent steeple]

btw, should I run Riposte or Relentless Strikes on my DS4 as a Blaze Trauma psyker?

Relentless would help with single target stuff that doesn't die to a single heavy (Ogryn enemies primarily, including Plogryns), but Riposte would help with getting crits on the staff for more reliable warpflame stacks, and as a result more Warp Charges (I run In Fire Reborn with both the Burgeratus and Blazeblast staff builds)...

[ripe obsidian]

I'm fine with whatever. I just need more H40 data to feed the spreadsheet

[hearty wolf]

I need you to join cos this random guy joined

[ripe obsidian]

Does Riposte carry across weapons?

[hearty wolf]

and we play this

then be like

"oh no my internet went out"

and we do havoc

[zinc phoenix]

I did scum one thing in honor mode. I told vlaakith to pound sand and got the dialog induced game over which I thought was unfair 😂

[ripe obsidian]

It does not.

"Grants additional crit chance (see values below) for 6s. Procs on successfully dodging enemy melee or ranged attacks (except Gunners, Reaper, Sniper), and disabler attacks (Pox Hound jump, Trapper net, Mutant grab). 'Successful dodge' means dodging an enemy attack that is locked on the player with an accordingly timed dodge or sliding action. Can be refreshed during active duration. Despite the buff icon staying after weapon swap, the buff does not benefit ranged weapons (including melee special actions)."

[ripe obsidian]

You can always just leave the group

[zinc phoenix]

Wait really?

Riposte is garbage for me then, I’m constantly swapping weapons 😂

[hearty wolf]

he been waiting in vc for ages

[ripe obsidian]

So says the sacred scrolls

[patent steeple]

what the absolute f is that bullshit?! I always thought it still worked for ranged...

[ripe obsidian]

I can find the specific code if you'd like, but I trust Kuli's descriptions

[ripe obsidian]

Lemme see if work needs anything from me

@hearty wolf Work does need a thing. I will be a bit.

[hearty wolf]

ok

[patent steeple]

then again, it is crit chance, so it could just be bad luck when it came to testing...? (very unlikely, but its at least possible that Riposte was (initially) meant to work when swapping...?)

[ripe obsidian]

Kuli doesn't just test

He is a codedigger

I follow in his footsteps

[radiant frigate]

based

[radiant frigate]

unfortunately for the people in there, 90% of the time i do not even go there

[ripe obsidian]

How do you folks replay games so much?

I can barely do it unless it's like a 5 year gap in between

Like, I already know all the puzzles and traps and combats. There's nothing new to find. And I hate being evil, so my playthroughs are pretty similar each time

[radiant frigate]

for me it was different difficulties and engaging in nonsense

also, co-op

[ripe obsidian]

I replayed Oracle of Seasons for the first time in a decade a while back, and I got so bored like halfway through. I already knew how it all played out

[ripe obsidian]

Ah. I struggle with that. I don't have a lot of friends, let alone friends who play games and have schedules that line up, and those that do are often so different in playstyle or skill that it feels frustrating more than fun

Weekly D&D is about the best I can do to get people together, and even that's been difficult lately due to life stuff

[inland ice]

based

[ripe obsidian]

Being evil is mean.

[quartz barn]

Evil depends on your perspective

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, sure. I'm a big proponent of the idea that no one views themselves as evil.

Both narratively and psychologically

[quartz barn]

Im just chaotic neutral

[ripe obsidian]

But I have my own morals and beliefs, and I struggle to set them aside, even in video games

[pale prairie]

Yeah my replays with BG3 were all cause of friends

[inland ice]

False. Ethics are objective

I will not elaborate

[quartz barn]

And i do not care

[inland ice]

That's okay, you are allowed to be wrong

[pale prairie]

Yeah I take literal psychic damage from doing that in games

But for some reason I don’t mind being evil in TTRPG

Maybe that’s why I can DM

[ripe obsidian]

So there's this issue in anthropology/psychology, learned about it in university. Anthropologists are not supposed to interfere with the peoples they are observing, and that can often slide into, "Because it is their culture, it is not wrong." So there has to be a line between, "Cultural differences" and "Objectively bad."

[inland ice]

I wonder if its due to a real voice and likeness being ascribed to the characters your decisions affect

[pale prairie]

Prime directive

[inland ice]

academics suck at ethics idc

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, I have a lot fewer issues doing Bad Things in my writing or DMing.

[inland ice]

the more educated you are the more likely you are to think weird and messed up stuff is alright

"Can the chicken breast give consent?"

[pale prairie]

I dunno….sometimes I look straight into my players eyes when I ask them what their last thought is before death….

Then I smile

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, I am agreeing with you. I am saying that new academics are bad at separating cultural norms from objectively bad things.

[inland ice]

sorry, I meant to agree as well

[ripe obsidian]

Like, mutilation or torture or systemic discrimination are bad, regardless of cultural reasons.

[pale prairie]

It’s like I feel more responsible or something vs TTRPG is like “oops my consequences”

[inland ice]

I mean tabletop is not that far removed from checkers when you compare it to videogames imo

[ripe obsidian]

In writing or DMing, I control the consequences.

[inland ice]

at the end of the day they are just abstract ideas represented by static pieces on a table

video games simulate aliveness better

[pale prairie]

Ehhhhhhh depends on the game and I tell you what I have yet to play a video game where I have to come up with the skill check for “hiding bombs up my butt before I get sent to prison”

[inland ice]

😭 lmfao maybe thats why it isnt so serious

[ripe obsidian]

Slight of hand + constitution

[inland ice]

what happens when I roll a 1

lube is all dried up?

[quartz barn]

I was thing along the lines of 100 destruction ala elder scrolls

[pale prairie]

That same session I revealed to a character that the older brother she thought was dead was actually the death knight running the prison and I narrated his death at her hands as she smited him and he disintegrated into white fire with just two words drifting on the air as she fell to her knees cradling his form as it turned to ash

“Thank you…”

[quartz barn]

But sure you can use lube and bombs i guess

[pale prairie]

Nah a 1 means you forgot they were impact bombs and you clenched a little too hard

[inland ice]

gorilla SA

[pale prairie]

Course then the next problem was that she pulls them out in the cell and doesn’t have a lighter OR magic cause duh the prison has an ANTIMAGIC aura

[inland ice]

D&D is just advanced rock, paper, scissors

[ripe obsidian]

You know what I hate? DMs who make a nat 20 a failure. Like, "I want to slap this peasant for being a piece of shit." DM says to roll for it. Nat 20. "You slap his head clean off."

No, fuck that. Nat 20 means success to the player's exact goals.

[pale prairie]

Yeah I usually ask specifically what they want and then give them more.

In my new campaign I am introducing a mechanic that probably already exists. But do you want a 20? You can use it on any skill check and tell me what happens BUT I get to swap a natural 1 for any skill check I want

[pale prairie]

Pf2 having gradations of success is something I really like about and try to incorporate into my games

[ripe obsidian]

My players are level 20+1, so I make a lot of generalizations like, "You're functionally demigods in your areas of expertise. Even if you roll a nat 1 on this thing, you're probably not going to fail that badly."

[pale prairie]

Yeah we are getting close to that in Faerun with level 15 characters.

“Yeah you definitely run and acrobatics up onto the wagon moving at 35 mph then yes you kick the handbrake and survive this giant armored wagon filled with stuff rolling and crashing killing everyone but you somehow

Monks in 2024 are a menace again

[ripe obsidian]

I should be free afterward

[hearty wolf]

aw ok, hope things go okay

[pale prairie]

Yeah good vibes Six

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, I want every player to feel powerful in their niche. My goal is to give them their power fantasies.

[pale prairie]

Oh for sure it’s just doing the math for demigods

I want them to feel powerful but I also want to be exact in my descriptions of them making physics their bitch

[upper sun]

you know what you must do

[ripe obsidian]

At one point I had to math how high the half-ton Tortle PC could fly before a spell wore off, then how fast they would fall in that distance, and how much force would result from the collision.

The cleric used Death Ward to prevent the Tortle from dying instantly, but I had her god's emissary show up like, "What the fuck was that?! If you use that spell in that way again, you're getting cut off."

Which was my way of saying the plan was cool, but I'm not letting you trivialize every fight by turning the barbarian into a nuke.

[lean mural]

has anyone had increased problems with unintentionally downing yourself w/ peril since the latest ""hot""""fix""

i keep trying to whip out melee and push, and instead i cast another fucking explosion and since i was switching because i was at 100% peril of course i explode

[white valley]

Skill iss-

[ripe obsidian]

That has been a thing for me for a while tbh

[radiant frigate]

no, SKULL ISSUE (i cast brain burst)

[pale prairie]

Bruh my eldritch knight and the tortle barbarian did this shit with vortex warp. Teleport raging barbarian 90 feet up and have him fall onto the dragon.

I basically was like “tortle roll a con save and dragon roll dex save”

Now roll all your hit dice and that’s how much damage both take (accounting for successes)

https://youtube.com/shorts/0pZPCac3F2g?si=bFMZReLwhDJroqXF

this sounds like your players

[radiant frigate]

"psycho paladin goes berserk, slays dragon, changes gender"

[pale prairie]

Lmao tomb of horrors had a magic doorway that swapped gender and alignment….i changed it to just alignment hahaha

[radiant frigate]

in this case there was a death and resurrection of some kind inbetween

[pale prairie]

Haha

[ripe obsidian]

Sounds about right

[marble crater]

Afterwards it's a "no skull issue"

[ripe obsidian]

2 boss fights ago they willingly chose to kill themselves with an antimagic field (as like half the party is only alive due to magic) in order to depower the boss enough that the Paladin could just beat him to death

[pale prairie]

Nah it’s a DH issue

[pale prairie]

Jesus that’s commitment

[marble crater]

No u

[pale prairie]

I am planning a mechanic for aberrant dragon marks that they get like 4 death revivals (they don’t know that) and every death they come back with better powers.

I am planning this as a psychological study of how many of them will be super reckless for power

[patent jacinth]

Oh the DM for the games at my store had a thing like that, but it was magic items

[pale prairie]

nein, deine Mutter

[patent jacinth]

The only issue was it started to let an outer god into the world

[marble crater]

[patent jacinth]

But like

Magic items

[pale prairie]

Oh it’s definitely planned to be connected to A denizen of the plane of madness. It’s Eberron and I’ve got quite a lot planned. Very excited

Gonna raise the level of story and rpg in this mother fucking group

[patent jacinth]

The results of this mechanic was like 2 of the all ages game players playing super recklessly or outright trying to kill himself for stuff

[radiant frigate]

[pale prairie]

See I want that for me. Right up until they realize there is a set number of revivals

I am contemplating the characters mutating into a flesh warp madness monster after too many times or just perma death

[ripe obsidian]

I want to do a Zealot Barbarian that has a stat change for every death avoided with the Undying ability, or whatever it's called. Like, -1 dex and +1 con or something as my body becomes more and more ruined

[radiant frigate]

"ok so what do i get this time?"
"a one-way trip to the abyss, enjoy!"

[pale prairie]

Niiiiiiiiiiice. Had a character use 3 months of downtime to “learn bludgeoning resistance” by getting beat to death by the barbarian every day. I required like 5 successes in a row and he rolled once for every day. Luckily it didn’t succeed but I gave him +2 to Con

[patent jacinth]

Yeah it should have visible effects every time
Start subtle with just more weird skin around the dragonmark
Then progress to the whole limb getting weird (flavor based on its effect, like bleeding fire or becoming frail and scaly)
Then have it progress beyond the limb onto the torso
And for their last life it eats most of their body

[pale prairie]

Yeah either that or “here’s your new sheet” mindflayer abomination

[pale prairie]

Dragon marks according to the lore grow in size requisite with power such that Siberys marks which are the epitome of power and of a dragon mark cover the whole body. So that’s my plan

[patent jacinth]

I think you should play into unique visual effects based on what spells it gives

[pale prairie]

Oh absolutely

[patent jacinth]

Fire spells giving perpetually burnt skin and fire for blood, ice being pallid and corpse cold, sickness stuff being unnaturally frail for its strength

[pale prairie]

I am not planning on changing their character’s actual bodies more like:

the flames of your spells now seem reluctant to let go of you when casting. Their color a brilliant violet and the longer you stare into them the more they seem to resemble laughing faces whispering to you joyfully “Consume….destroy…..purify…..”

[radiant frigate]

Hi

[strong gulch]

Six broke the pattern.

[pale prairie]

Bruh you know how hard it is to keep a cohesive and attached story when they change their characters every 6 months??????

I am hoping they mostly got it out of their systems for this next campaign and am gonna offer a west marches style of one shots for days that people miss to provide an outlet

[ripe obsidian]

Oh, mine have been the same characters for going on six years

[hearty wolf]

Penance farming is so boring 😭

[ripe obsidian]

I let them change classes and feats and stuff if they want, I just need them to provide a good reason

[strong gulch]

Just give up. Let something be 39/40 for 2 years.

[ripe obsidian]

Which penance is this?

[pale prairie]

Nice this is a 3 year campaign

[marble crater]

Shocking stuff?

Kill 40 stunned enemies?

[strong gulch]

Mine is throw a nade at a sniper on zealot.

[pale prairie]

Yeah I did my best to enforce that but it’s still hard to connect a new character to an ongoing story

[strong gulch]

Helped Deavoid get it and decided that was close enough.

I think I'm close on some other ones.

[marble crater]

Does HD2 have "penances"?

[strong gulch]

Not that I'm aware of.

The game live for you yet?

[marble crater]

On Tuesday

[inland ice]

orders

"take 1 shower"

"Empty the dishwasher"

Reward: 200 medals

Major order: fill out 1 job application

[pale prairie]

No. There are Steam achievements so I imagine Xbox will have the same

[strong gulch]

There's like weekly and daily things.

[inland ice]

shower is monthly

[pale prairie]

Use X weapon to Y enemies

Kill 1000000 Z enemies over a week

[marble crater]

Are there some for friendly fire?

I do not understand the idea of the Net being so dangerous in Cyberpunk. Like, start unplugging shit. Why build this overcomplicated Blackwall to keep out rogue AIs. And why do corporations keep using this semi-secure playground? It's not hard to build your own local network.

Take some scissors and cut cables in the data center.

[pale prairie]

I think it only became a problem when they started to reconnect hubs. And apparently the AI themselves and even rogue net running groups are trying to break the wall down

I guess in essence: people are dumb

Sniper gauntlets are so fun

Had some more amazing dreams today

Was sick since last night so I had the pleasure of fever induced dreams on top of noon napping effect weirdness

[zealous wing]

go on its just a rave

event on heresy, loss after loss after loss, normal damnation, absolutely killed it

well, "normal" with pox hound modifier

even got DH'd and didnt die

this event is just

"please go away"

idr who it was saying there was no modes to prepare for havoc... i think this is it

[pale prairie]

I mean I think the biggest hiccup for havoc transition is the idea of multiple bosses and the horde

[zealous wing]

yall real question, why is here like, an actual chat, with normal people, then i dare check general and every time its unhinged

[zealous wing]

so like, mortis trials?

i dont think many people do mortis

[pale prairie]

Yeah but mortis trials give you super powers

There are no super powers in havoc except the ones the baddies have

[zealous wing]

even so, its still a challenge before getting thrown into havoc

[pale prairie]

[pale prairie]

Sure I guess it’s a good half step

[zealous wing]

like, ok, theres 3 monstrosities and a boss, which do we fight first, kind of deal

[pale prairie]

What is it now?

[zealous wing]

not as bad as last time but still

[marble crater]

Looks like zealot chat escaped again

[marble crater]

Good job

[pale prairie]

What gets me about this clip is the lack of hesitation. No time to think just immediate and instinctive reaction to blow up barrel and friend

Trained response

[radiant frigate]

i did and my mouse died mid-game

very cool when suddenly everyone else goes down

unfortunately didn't have too much fun

[pale prairie]

Crazy

[upper sun]

pain....

[upper sun]

its ok game would have crashed anyways

i havent played since i crashed mid game yesterday if i crash again im taking a break

[radiant frigate]

I'm definitely taking a break

maybe voidstrike bubble knight isn't exactly the way

[upper sun]

u want to play arby

[radiant frigate]

perhaps better with assail and reconlas

[pale prairie]

[radiant frigate]

i would rather get eaten by big e

[upper sun]

fair

arby ruined me for all the other classes

i cant even play ogryn anymore

[pale prairie]

Oooof

[radiant frigate]

arby is only fun when i see them kiss the ground

like why are you horizontal

just breathe for unlimited toughness

trash class honestly

[pale prairie]

Welp time to go boom boom for event credit

[ripe obsidian]

@strong gulch

oh, I have blitz in powerDI

one moment

There

[zealous wing]

WHAT IS THIS!?!?

[strong gulch]

Mortis trials

[zealous wing]

[strong gulch]

[upper sun]

🚬 ive seen it

the final darktider

[tulip kettle]

there were more off map barrels in this than our event run

[upper sun]

this dude legit quit directly after getting revived

[ripe obsidian]

Approximately half my damage was boss damage

[lean mural]

ogryn player before havoc: "whys ur staff 390"

ogryn constantly during havoc: "WITCH IS KILLIN EM GOOD!"

me after havoc: "that's why it's 390"

(everything is 80 except warp res which is 13)

[zealous wing]

lmao he chillin

[ripe obsidian]

that is very low

"free" version of a game with all dlc 18gb
epic version of a game missing 1 dlc 22gb

🚬

PLEASE let me delete the 2834 different localizations without revalidating

[pale prairie]

I honestly think that Damnation and higher events are easier cause people know what they are doing

abouut to increase my sample size so we will see

[lean mural]

perilmaxxing, sibling

[zealous wing]

lucky you, i was squadded with someone leveling up a vet, marcus. very well done on his part. we got put with a rando, who was another "I NEED AMMO" in vc

this was on heresy, mind you, but, in damnation it feels like the same stuff

sometimes, its a good squad but we die super quick in the beginning, and sometimes its just... why are you on damnation?

or, "why are you even on heresy"

i get needing to learn but, calling for ammo in comms when you can just, yknow, look for some?

or, gasp melee a little!?

it mayve been an arby, im 90% sure it was

absolutely getting carried by their doggo

no that was someone else

this one was calling out "help me im dying, im gonna die, im so dead, help" ... was got by dog and we were maybe 40m away, he was fine

today has been a day for it, rant over, sorry

[pale prairie]

Sorry buddy 🙁 that sucks. Sometimes that happens

[zealous wing]

ye marcus is gonna join the discord, if he hasnt already, so hopefully he'll pop in now and again

so, i got him and his friend to be my friend :D so its not a total loss

[pale prairie]

friends are good

[marble crater]

More people to barrel

[dull scroll]

these pubs, why do they all leave 😂

this event is destroying so many mentals

[marble crater]

They might be crashing

[tired estuary]

they might be crashing but idk shitheel leavers have been a thing for a long while now

[dull scroll]

it's kind of weird how they always crash after they go down 🤔

[marble crater]

Explosions cause death and crash

[zealous wing]

idk why but when a player goes down over and over or gets trapped over and over my mind basically goes into "this is my child now and i must protec" mode

i'll fight a horde at 4hp to get them back up, apparently

and win

[hearty wolf]

@summer prairie

I think you know how to fix this

It's a recent one people spoke about a couple hours ago

O i found it on steam forums

[strong gulch]

buff crash fix?

#arbites-class message

[hearty wolf]

winning

[strong gulch]

?
https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/579

[pale prairie]

I think it’s crashing. I’ve been having a lot of that too

[tulip kettle]

@zealous wing wanna join us for some event?

[near gale]

Just remember: when you see the burster train, go give it a hug

[zealous wing]

sure, long as me dying isnt clipped unless its at LEAST 3s of airtime

[strong gulch]

@tulip kettle

[zealous wing]

or, really good velocity

like, PRIME velicity

[zealous wing]

if imma be a victim i want to be a GLORIOUS one

[hearty wolf]

I guess I climb into bed and relive the trapper nightmare for today

[ripe obsidian]

That trapper was an MVP.

Not only taking out the Arbitrator, but also pulling you across the line to spawn 2 more bosses

[hearty wolf]

I think it had an emp jammer too because it short circuited my brain into not wanting to kill it

It's my mission to destroy specials

I will remember this

[ripe obsidian]

Honestly the single highest value net I have ever seen

[hearty wolf]

Literally wiped the run. We got too good at bossing

[ripe obsidian]

2 daemonhosts and infinite reapers couldn't end the mission

But one netty gal

[hearty wolf]

We try again when I'm not frazzled from work

[pale prairie]

I went straight up from bursters then died from the fall damage

[ripe obsidian]

4 defensive abilities is pretty goofy.

Can just force your way through any encounter

[zealous wing]

this was me earlier, was the clip i got that corrupted. it was in the throneside aegis station map, i went from the top, where the batteries go, wayy up and over, all the way to battery one, where an oggy was,,, he tried to save me and got trappered. which, funnily enough, was the same thing that happened last time he tried to save me

[near gale]

This is why I try to make sure I know where the trapper is and to kill it if I can while also moving towards the trappered player... x.x

spamming ping into the poxwalker horde helps, cause you don't ping poxwalkers

[zealous wing]

bad room

i also shoulda blocked but, meh

[zinc phoenix]

So even tho I’m usually the last one alive I rarely pull off a clutch. I’ll usually wipe whatever horde and kill whatever boss only to get got in a comical way. like today I killed a hex host that had eaten two barbies and then wiped the horde that followed it only to get killed when I got stuck on a single random pox walker when the bot went down, got distracted by trying to get my bubble to work (idk why, it wasnt) which got me shot by a sniper I was fully aware of 😂 idk why this is such a routine thing for me. Or like another clutch I get to the guys in need of rescue after successfully clearing up everything that had caused bother only for a trapper to walk up to me in full view and trap me because.. idk? I just didn’t connect the circuits on it. I can deal with them instantly with snapshots behind me in complex horde fights using only echolocation but a single one walking around to the front with nothing else around apparently exploits some kind of gap in my brain

[pale prairie]

The classic “what was that behind me”

[ripe obsidian]

Bonk.

[inland ice]

well

new event just caused a game crash

[zealous wing]

damn i just QP'd into someones malice, dueled rinda by myself, only lost 20 hp.

(the OG player left)

[inland ice]

1v1ing Rinda w FGS feels like peak cinema

https://tenor.com/view/erecting-errection-sword-hard-terra-gif-23530626

[ripe obsidian]

Someone was pretty new, it seems.

[pale prairie]

Holy shit

[ripe obsidian]

The saltiest Ogryn

For some reason

Because I used my melee so much.

[pale prairie]

Idiot doesn’t realize that WE gatekeep not him

[ripe obsidian]

I have no idea what made him so mad, ha

I was using fuckin' SG Voidstrike of all things

Did he not like that I outdamaged him?

[pale prairie]

You barely used any melee

[ripe obsidian]

Like, I could do the exact same thing with any melee weapon. I only used it for poking dogs and mutants

[pale prairie]

20 k is like a handful of elites

[pale prairie]

Whoa was this auric event? Kudos on bringing voidstrike

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, it's just the auric event

And this dude had an H40 badge

[ripe obsidian]

Voidstrike is fun. Scrier's Gaze Voidstrike is goofy

Unlimited bowling balls

[pale prairie]

Don’t have to tell me twice

[ripe obsidian]

I'm just so perplexed by this reaction

[pale prairie]

I think 200 of my levels were with voidstrike

[ripe obsidian]

I used primarily Voidstrike until Havoc came out

[pale prairie]

He clearly doesn’t have the damage breakdown and is probably looking at total. Knows voidstrike sucks so assumes you used DS (which is OP lmao) to blame for you beating his damage?

[ripe obsidian]

Maybe? I have no idea.

I was hardly playing a meta build.

[pale prairie]

Love it when people tell me how to play a PVE game

Just silently judge don’t loudly do it

[deft stump]

Once you add a scoreboard of any kind, this happens.

[ripe obsidian]

Scoreboard is just so I can judge my own performance and steal builds from people who do well

[deft stump]

Some ppl get mad if they aren't topping every chart.

[pale prairie]

Look I get it but people prone to that will just vibe judge even without scoreboard. “I feel like I am better than you”

[deft stump]

Green circles or even the orange highlights do the same.
