[white sky]

Those are dumb rare

[marble crater]

Okay, so you wanted to see one, why?

[white sky]

Completionism, dark souls is my favorite game

[radiant frigate]

curiosity i presume

[white sky]

Wanted to see all it had to offer

[radiant frigate]

and/or to get murdered by it

[marble crater]

Fair enough

[acoustic jacinth]

I do the same in the trilogy and i love it

100% items even though i care about only 10% of them lol

[radiant frigate]

dark souls 2 my beloved

[acoustic jacinth]

Ds2 underrated and overhated

[white sky]

I had both the invisible weapon rings in 2

[acoustic jacinth]

Bloodborne cost me a literal ps4 so

Worth it though

Very fun

[radiant frigate]

i skipped for that reason

[acoustic jacinth]

Yeah it is pain

[radiant frigate]

but I'm sure it's great

[acoustic jacinth]

Big expense for 1 game

Very big

[white sky]

Its the best game in the series besides for 1 tbh

[acoustic jacinth]

I'll say this

[white sky]

Was worth the ps4 ngl

[zealous wing]

@pale prairie

[acoustic jacinth]

No matter how much i love DS1-3

Bb looks

SO good

Like al the areas just hit

[white sky]

Krieg a big souls guy?

[acoustic jacinth]

I sometimes used to get drunk and just walk around in bloodborne

[radiant frigate]

ds1 is great but then

[acoustic jacinth]

Look at the sky

[white sky]

Ds1 is dated

[white sky]

I have the exact route for this place memorized and I sprint through it in the dark now

[white sky]

You right

[radiant frigate]

trauma response

[white sky]

I have the route through catacombs memorized for GL sword too

I love that thing

[strong gulch]

Yeah. It feels so jank. If it was released with even DS3 responsiveness, I'd buy it.

[marble crater]

Don't give them ideas

[radiant frigate]

perhaps i should play it again sometime

[white sky]

Im ngl they could skyrim the shit outta dark souls 1 and I wouldnt even be mad

[radiant frigate]

i still have PTDE on steam

[strong gulch]

Yes please resell me what I already have.

[white sky]

Dark souls super mega edition with 2 new uncut weapons for 80 bucks? Sure.

[vernal temple]

Demon's Souls (the og PS3 release), despite it's age, looks solid as well. Specially now with graphic mods available for the emulator (and a working online!)

[marble crater]

You are not part of the problem, you are the problem

[white sky]

I am

[radiant frigate]

dark souls 2 super extra special edition ft. golden greataxe

[radiant frigate]

and uh

[vernal temple]

oh boy, the times of Games for Windows Live

[white sky]

(It shoots lasers)

[vernal temple]

a bloodied Great Club and an "icy" longsword

[radiant frigate]

there was also blue murakumo as i recall

[strong gulch]

Oh. Apparently abiotic factor is on game pass. Big recommend.

[vernal temple]

yes!

[peak grotto]

What Keystone would you recommend for a melee psyker?

[white sky]

DD

[vernal temple]

the blue Murakumo was cool looking too

[thorn cedar]

DN

[patent mango]

disrupt is by far the best

[ripe obsidian]

Consistency is boring. Embrace chaos.

[white sky]

Now in return, whats your favorite soulsborne game?

[patent mango]

bloobo

[ripe obsidian]

That is surprisingly high Channeled Force uptime.

[radiant frigate]

they all looked pretty neat

[thorn cedar]

fashionborne was the last soulsborne i enjoyed

[strong gulch]

is it me

[ripe obsidian]

You become immortal?

[strong gulch]

can't be

i put lacerate on my knife for consistency

[white sky]

Im ngl I think chalice dungeons were cool as fuck

[verbal thistle]

I cant share

we gonna keep a bit of it hidden

but this is insane

[peak grotto]

Recommendations for a gun psyker build?

[patent mango]

i did chalice dungeons to get infinite healy bottles and thats about it

[verbal thistle]

this was not tested

jesus

[white sky]

I just like the concept of infinitely generating dungeons inside the game. BB pulled it off better than ERs in worlds.

[radiant frigate]

also every time i go to iron keep i have to refer to the local knights as Blacksteel Boys

[white sky]

Fatshark™

[radiant frigate]

blacksteel's back (alright)

[marble crater]

Everybody

[strong gulch]

clap you hands

[radiant frigate]

[pale prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/fast-car-gif-22098603

[white sky]

Iron Keep is, in my humble opinion, the single worst area in any fromsoft game, that place rocked my shit so many times

I hate smelter demon

I hate the fucking

Hole in the boss arena

[peak grotto]

👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

[white sky]

I hate greatbow archers

[radiant frigate]

what about blue smelter

[cosmic cobalt]

uptime mod kinda have trouble with talent like it

[vernal temple]

Dark Souls and Bloodborne fans should come to Boletaria. it's a fine place I swear!

[white sky]

Tolerable

[cosmic cobalt]

i used m2 like twice during the whole game

[marble crater]

What about Bed of Chaos?

[white sky]

By the time that dlc game out I was drastically better at ds2

[strong gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-press-la-noire-gif-18717264

[cosmic cobalt]

also i just outdamage inferno psyker with vet

fuck this man doing

😭

[radiant frigate]

perhaps but the run to blue smelter is so much worse

[white sky]

x3

Done

[vernal temple]

lmao

[radiant frigate]

outskilled by firebomb

[vernal temple]

aim with bow, throw fire bomb. done

[marble crater]

[white sky]

If she wants to cheese the fight by throwing me into a pit

I get to cheese the fight by throwing bombs

Game is game

[vernal temple]

Having a hard time with Capra Demon?

[white sky]

They got a ledge for that

[vernal temple]

Use these

[white sky]

Capra ain't bad tho tbh

[radiant frigate]

capra demon is not so bad it's just the extremely close quarters and also dogs

[white sky]

Tbh

I was using zweihander the first time i fought it

And just horizontal chopped the dogs then it

[radiant frigate]

dogs are the worst enemy type in souls except for specifically Bullshit Bird Knight from ashes of ariandel

[radiant frigate]

if you can poise them it's no biggie

[vernal temple]

CMV: Dragon God is the Demon's Souls equivalent of Bed of Chaos

or the other way around rather

[radiant frigate]

if you can't, it can get messy

[white sky]

I like being a big boy with big armor and a big sword

[radiant frigate]

boc has dragon god DNA

[white sky]

Yeah

[vernal temple]

pretty much yeah

[radiant frigate]

you like big swords and you cannot lie

[white sky]

If they didn't want me to use a big sword they wouldn't put the big sword in every game.

[strong gulch]

Yes. love that the meme is the budgest version.

[white sky]

I had a really goofy pvp build

It was level 100, I had armor of thorns, ninja ring, gravelords, and wog

[radiant frigate]

how goofy are we talking

[ripe obsidian]

Huh. I wonder why.

[white sky]

You could stunlock people with armor of thorns ninja flip

Backstab em

Throw one pile of shit to toxin them

[radiant frigate]

that is pretty silly but is it offhand zweihander silly

[white sky]

Tbh

I think so, genuinely

By goofy I mean cancerous to deal with fwiw

[radiant frigate]

with the funny true combo into bss stabs

[white sky]

What level was it at tho

Cause I was invading people below standard pvp level

[radiant frigate]

i just ran at 125

[white sky]

I think the best indictment farming was catching people off guard

[radiant frigate]

(it served absolutely no purpose it was just because it's funny)

CAN'T CALM DOWN I'M GONNA BE INDICTED

[white sky]

Lmfao

What an era tbh

[radiant frigate]

and it will never happen again

😔

[white sky]

Tbh

It was so cool watching 1 million people get on ER on launch

It genuinely made me happy fromsoft got the rec they deserved

[radiant frigate]

BIG dark souls

yeah same

[cosmic cobalt]

this been the thing since ds1

bruh

[white sky]

Nah but like

How do I put this

[cosmic cobalt]

ds1 is when they finally made it big

[white sky]

From the greater gaming community

[cosmic cobalt]

so mainstream

[white sky]

Nah, Elden Ring was 10x DS3 which had peak concurrent players

It was cool seeing fromsoft hit the mainstream, yeah

[radiant frigate]

until then they were very niche games

now reaching a wider audience

[white sky]

For better or worse, I think its cool fromsoft gets that level of recognition and I think its cool those people get to enjoy my favorite games

[rancid geyser]

bloodborne

still the mostly praised fromsoft game to date

and ppl constantly beg for a bloodborne 2

[cosmic cobalt]

mostly praised =/= the game put them on the radar

[strong gulch]

Make bloodborne available on pc

[rancid geyser]

i mean im pretty sure more ppl tried blodborne than any other game before Elden ring

[strong gulch]

please

[rancid geyser]

so yeah

bloodborne put them on the map XD

[radiant frigate]

my biggest criticism of ER is how l2-centric it feels

[white sky]

I genuinely think they lost the source code or something

[cosmic cobalt]

bloodborne is sony ip

[white sky]

Sony isnt even opposed to putting games on PC now is the thing

[cosmic cobalt]

yeah their inhouse studio

[white sky]

I think they know how much money itd make

Idk

[rancid geyser]

the new game that they are coming out with on switch 2 seems bloodborne esq

lmao

[white sky]

I dont see a logical business reason they wouldnt

[white sky]

Right?

[rancid geyser]

more spiderman slop

[fathom adder]

Here's one where Spiderman turns himself into a pickle

man i want to play dying light but the volatile are scary

[modest perch]

no

[teal copper]

Anyone got a good scriers voidstrike build?

Or just a build specialized for voidstrike

Bubble or scriers is usually what i use

Shriek isnt all that important to me since is leeches damage from my peril (warp rider)

[strong gulch]

See 3rd pin for build guide

[rancid geyser]

i crashed

looking like a great day to play dt

[strong gulch]

check the voidstrike section

[rancid geyser]

@pale prairie did you crash as well?

[pale prairie]

oh yeah

[teal copper]

I did look at that but i didnt see anything for voidstrike-scrier, just shriek and bubble

I might take bubble

[rancid geyser]

guess the game didnt like us

all 3 of got booted

[zealous wing]

no reconnect option

no error message just a full crash

[teal copper]

Dt has been shitty today

[rancid geyser]

im assuming the random crashed as well XD

[strong gulch]

Oh stil WIP then. Sorry about that.

[teal copper]

Random lag spiking on the server end

[zealous wing]

i was doing so well :(

WALLS and WALLS of elite kills

[strong gulch]

2014?

[zealous wing]

no code at all

[teal copper]

Youre good, ill suffice for now- that or i'll figure out a decent scrier for it

[zealous wing]

just, game closed

[strong gulch]

I can try playing if y'all have room for a 4th. Might not play very well tho.

[zealous wing]

ive blown up every match ive played today

you cant play worse than me

[teal copper]

Peril edging?

[zealous wing]

nope just full overload cuz not paying attn

[teal copper]

Im always glancing at peril, trauma staff make peril go brr

[zealous wing]

ive been on trauma, EK, and inferno

im usually on gunker so im trying to get unrusty with staves

[strong gulch]

Tossed this together. Similar to the pre update SG VS build. 2 points to do what you want with .

[teal copper]

It just takes a second to find the rhythm for each staff

[zealous wing]

but yes bean we have room

[teal copper]

Honestly id likely take warp ghost just to troll and make the game that much harder for myself

Empathic evasion is also an option

[strong gulch]

PC EE immaterial force etc

[teal copper]

Ill be fiending exclusively to the staff rather than melee

Malefic and assail might be cooked

BB and souldrinker instead

Ill make funny fire crits

[zealous wing]

bro really nailed me in the face with his grenade 😭

[teal copper]

Lebron if he was in the WH universe

[strong gulch]

Could take channeled force and empyric shock. forgot about those

keep warp splitting

[teal copper]

Yessir

Ws is goated

[subtle temple]

My flame build feels lacking

Also need something that uses lighting

[teal copper]

Show it

[teal copper]

Smite pairs best with support

Though you wont find much use for it unless you have no crowd control which most of the time isnt the case with psyker

[subtle temple]

Dueling sword - riposte and uncanny strike

Inferno staff - warp nexus and blaze away

Three curios with ability regen

[teal copper]

Thats fine but the build itself is what does a good bit of heavy lifting

And the blessings on the staff

Gimme a gander at your tree if you can

[marble crater]

If that's your entire build, with an empty talent tree, I'm not surprised

[teal copper]

Its not bad but theres a few things that can be taken off

[subtle temple]

GRANT ME YOUR WISDOM

OH GREAT WISE ONE

[teal copper]

Gimme a second

[teal copper]

Courtesy of the potato

Defensive and good at stacking soulblaze

[random spruce]

Just hit 3.8 Million damage on my psyker....new record

[teal copper]

The constant brainburst proc-ing off the stacks of soulblaze kills elites and specialists as fast as it refreshes

If you dont like bubble you can just switch it to shriek

[fierce crest]

hey guys i made a new friend

[marble crater]

Seems like a nice guy

[subtle temple]

What about needles

[teal copper]

Assail goes mainly with scrier builds

Gunker or melee

It pairs with malefic momentum and gets you stacks quickly so you can go back to shooting or smacking

Its free damage and a good choice for ranged

[pale prairie]

he asked you for a DNA sample?

[strong gulch]

All I know is my game somehow alt tabbed then I was stuck in microsoft paint with the screen shot of me being inside kriger's mouth.

[random spruce]

People on reddit are asking for them to take away Havoc deranking again.....

[pale prairie]

Not far enough MAKE EVERYONE HAVOC 50

[random spruce]

If fatshark ever does that I'll actually be so pissed. Idk why everyone NEEDS to be able to auto win everything

[fierce crest]

every game needs a scaling difficulty mode that is literally impossible at the highest end

[patent mango]

oh please do its awful

[hollow current]

Havoc but if you die in game you die in real life

[random spruce]

Why though? Why do you NEED to rank up? It's the only mode that feels like an actual accomplishment, because you have to actually be good enough and play good enough as a team to keep ranking

[random spruce]

I'd play it

[patent mango]

no you just play meta and everyone does the same

deranking just makes it toxic and repetitive

[random spruce]

That doesn't mean you still don't need to be good enough? Plenty of people slam meta non stop and still don't hit 40

[patent mango]

at least when i got to h40 i had fun but before that not really

no real reason to overcomplicate what could just be quickplay into havoc and no derank

theres also the fact people dc or crash often in havoc or heinous rituals just bugs out too

i kinda forgot that part

[random spruce]

The mode would be infinitely more miserable with quick play. Imagine not being able to select for players with an actual decent build or weapon set. Imagine having a crap shoot of good vs bad players. I get the frustration of DCs too but the fact is that plenty of people have hit 40 despite any server issues or glitches. It happens but it is 100% not the thing keeping anyone out of 40

[white sky]

This is why I think them removing derank wouldn't be bad tbh

Like if you can't climb you're still gonna plateau out

[patent mango]

i dont select players with decent builds or weapon sets

i dont look at anyones build when playing havoc

quickplay wouldnt change anything for me but be more convenient

[random spruce]

That's cool, I do. It brings infinite more success if you do too.

[patent mango]

i dont really play havoc to win i just kinda wanna play funny videogame and it be challenging

[white sky]

I also think not having derank would let people practice where they're plateauing, which would be beneficial

[patent mango]

which is why i only had fun at h40 where fun is allowed due to no derank

then we can do silly stuff like 4 psykers

[random spruce]

I don't think that's the case. If you play 100 games you will eventually win one. You'll eventually find a team good enough to carry you. That's not necessarily the case with quickplay. Cause if you lose 100 and still win 1, you're still clearance 1

[bright summit]

Its not that ranking up that's frustrating, its that havoc actively punishes you for running off meta stuff and experimenting with anything you don't know when you're at any rank below 40

[patent mango]

also why do i need to keep getting h40

just keep me there already

[bright summit]

Also this enables people to only accept people who has meta stuff and high clearance so if you like just hanging around 30 and play super off meta builds you will never get accepted to any havoc game ever

[patent mango]

if it was an one and done thing i'd be entirely fine with rank

[white sky]

Im not really advocating for a quickplay, just that I don't really think anyone stands to gain from deranks existing. People can already clearly get carried into ranks and titles, I don't see the difference tbh.

[patent mango]

but nooo gotta keep randomly taking my rank to 30

[random spruce]

I would concede on this. Rank resets are frustrating. The only reason I can possibly think of is due to fatshark wanting to force some of the better players to help the lower rank ones out maybe? Like towards the end of the season there aren't nearly as many good players to pug with cause they're all already 40

[patent mango]

or rank decay

[bright summit]

No they're resetting to keep players engaged (:

[loud girder]

the whole 40 rank system is nonsense

[white sky]

Why do havocs even go down for a day

[loud girder]

it should be 4 diffs

[white sky]

Like

[loud girder]

not 40

[patent mango]

i am so very engaged to the point i refuse to play any more of it due to derank

otherwise i'd only play havoc

[bright summit]

Fatshark thinks it can keep players engaged but that's usually not the case yeah

[patent mango]

even party finder is fine

kinda

maybe

[bright summit]

I haven't gotten accepted into a 30+ havoc since reset lmao

[patent mango]

oof

[bright summit]

Its not a good system because people play to win mostly, and they try to maximize winrate with meta slop

[white sky]

If theyre trying to keep me engaged why do they take down havocs for a day?

[patent mango]

i just wanna get to h40 so last time i played arbys up to it

[white sky]

I just play another game atp

[bright summit]

Because havocs is balanced around egregiously overpowered weapons and tools

[white sky]

So they

Stop us from killing things for 24 hours?

[random spruce]

I'm actually lost at this point, what do you mean they take Havoc down for a day?

Are you talking about patch days?

[white sky]

When the mission board goes down

Is that only on patch days?

[random spruce]

Yes

[white sky]

Thank you

[wraith sphinx]

Havoc will continue to suck unless deranking is removed tbh

[white sky]

Coincidentally this is why I'm leveling a psyker lol

[patent mango]

arbys was like 3x easier to climb havoc than psy befo

mayb its more balanced now

[random spruce]

It's not. Psyker is still by far the hardest to climb with

[bright summit]

That and they should add re rolling and remove 80% of the modifiers and rebalance havoc not around the meta picks

[random spruce]

You're still playing a no hit runs

[white sky]

Tbh

When I die on arby its all at once

[random spruce]

So they should just make Havoc easy??

[patent mango]

oh my god we're getting there

[bright summit]

Havocs are easy already if you abuse the highest performing builds

[royal totem]

Inobody is fucking arguing that

[bright summit]

Armor spam is so unhealthy for the game I don't even want to get to havoc 40 because it's dogshit

[random spruce]

Wat. No they're not. You still have to play out of your mind. Again if that was the case wayyyy more people would be actively 40 already. Do you really think the only thing stopping anyone from hitting 40 is that they're not using meta?

[patent mango]

uh its probably party finder stopping them honestly

[bright summit]

When I play meta stuff with 3 other friends it's a neat 100% winrrate if we take it seriously

Meta is extremely abusable

[subtle temple]

Psyker melee

[wraith sphinx]

while knowing target priority is a must for doing well in havocs the game mode is first and foremost a friend check and a loadout check

[random spruce]

Yes when you play with 4 good people that know how to work together you'll win a lot. You can do the same in off meta groups too. That doesn't make the mode east. That is you maximizing the success chances and benefiting from that. If I choose all NFL players for my flag football team I'll win 100%, does that make the game easy?

[white sky]

Is that not just a false equivalency

[bright summit]

Actually in its currently state off meta team coordinated games are very hard and extremely losable due to egregious armor spam

[subtle temple]

#psyker-class message would it go well with this build

[bright summit]

Density scaling is not a consideration, it's a requirement in comping, and without it it makes h30 feels like h40 because you have to coordinate kites and insane rotations because the density is unkillable in reasonable amount of time

[random spruce]

No, the point is being good at the game doesn't make the game easy overall. I sleep when I play aurics. Most other players don't. I don't say aurics are easy, I accept that I've put in the time to get really good at the game. It's the same reason I hate the streamers saying stuff should be nerfed constantly or that h40 is too easy. Like no at some point you're just good

[white sky]

I feel like the core of your arguement is boiling down to "i use havocs to fulfill my ego"

[bright summit]

Maybe we have different notions of off meta

[royal totem]

Bingo

[strong gulch]

Every game my mouse has become uncaptive or the radial got stuck on the screen. Of course it happens at a spicy moment.

[random spruce]

If that were the case I would never try to help others get to 40. I don't think of myself as a better person for hitting 40, and I'm more that happy to regularly jump down ranks to help other players out. I just don't want the core reward of the mode taken away

[bright summit]

There are definite builds who solve most of havocs issues with just the build itself I wouldn't say that

[white sky]

Hey, whatever you say man.

[bright summit]

The DPS and utility and safety of explodegryn vs like charge Bronx ogryn is night and day

And like specifically on psyker inferno shriek/bubble vs like anything ek is such a big damage difference esp when there are enemies that have direct range resist but no dot resist for some reason

[zealous wing]

thats not what i feel he's saying

[patent mango]

the problem is that rank has literally 0 reward i've climbed it multiple times before

[zealous wing]

literally, some people struggle with something like malice, and people who spend time learning the game get through it, and eventually find it easy. its the same for heresy, damnation, auric, and havocs. at a certain point, yeah. its easy... for the one who knows how to play it

[patent mango]

i don't want to do this again just to start having fun at h40 because i can finally ignore the mechanic

[zealous wing]

the reward is just, having something more complex to do

[thorn cedar]

???? youre not showing your havoc rank off on the dance floor?

trust me, instant reward

everyone leaves me the fuck alone so i can grind more havocs

[patent mango]

the mourningstar dance floor owned by swagger

[loud girder]

@paper dust restarting lobby

[paper dust]

Why tf are you telling me in psycher chat

[royal totem]

That discounts a thing called talent. Im not flaming you cuz i actually am fond of playing with u but i do think there are ppl with a lot of hours in a game who do try their best and theyre just bad.

[zealous wing]

true we cant forget celine

[thorn cedar]

nah, there's a disconnect there that you aren't accounting for

it's the missing X factor called 'giving a shit'

[patent mango]

anyone can do it if they have subway surfers on the side of their screen

[thorn cedar]

i have a friend who has an aerospace engineering degree, flies planes for a living, and basically builds shit in his garage that is far too complex for my tiny brain. but when he plays Slay the Spire, he doesn't even plan out further than his next played card. Because he just doesn't care, and it's more fun when he shoots from the hip.

[royal totem]

I met some ppl in wow and ffxiv who would practice but their reflexes were just slow or mental comprehension not quite there. They tried but just...bad.

[thorn cedar]

It's not an issue of being bad or stupid or trying his best. He's not. Because it's jsut a game to him.

[royal totem]

But thats not my arguement.

[thorn cedar]

Your argument is a presumption. There are many reasons people can play a lot and not be Havoc 40 material.

[royal totem]

Talent is only avcounted for if you give a shit and practice but are just bad

[zealous wing]

yeah but my point was, we dont consider various difficulties easy, until they're easy for us, specifically, which is unfair to those who dont find it easy

[patent mango]

wuh what are we talking about again

[random spruce]

I feel like that's just a self defeating attitude. I don't think I'm talented at all. I had to work and practice a lot to get good enough. I think anyone can do it. I love helping people do it. I've taught 3 separate friends the game and gotten them into the hardcore stuff. There's always something you can improve upon to get there

[pine shore]

if you are discussing havoc, havoc is a dogshit mode, it's just boring bullshit.

There's no other way around it

[zealous wing]

we're not but cool

[patent mango]

we kinda are like a little unless it entirely derailed

[zealous wing]

if you find the game so bullshit boring though, why play

[royal totem]

Its not. Im a talented person at most things and i simply acknowledge some ppl just cant.

[zealous wing]

no one would make you play havoc

[pine shore]

fatshark made me play havoc

[patent mango]

the problem is when you do wanna play havoc for the gameplay but fatshark makes sure its the most annoying gamemode to get into possible

[pine shore]

by adding it

[zealous wing]

no, no they didnt

thats on you

you have the power of CHOICE

[random spruce]

Is the Havoc in the room with us right now?

[zealous wing]

[patent mango]

right there

[thorn cedar]

i choose to give up my power

[bright summit]

They did actually they powercreeped Aurics so it's not playable much anymore

[pine shore]

no, I don't. Havoc is a difficult gamemode with penance rewards, I will play it in any case sometimes

There's no choice

[pale prairie]

I feel like in this specific scenario. Your buddy wouldn’t even play havoc 40 so it doesn’t matter in his example because HE WOULDNT CARE

[zealous wing]

there IS choice

[pine shore]

Aurics are fine

[zealous wing]

you can CHOOSE to not play it :p

[patent mango]

my guy is being mind controlled by the WICKED fatshark company

[zealous wing]

why do people struggle with this concept so much

[thorn cedar]

precisely

[pine shore]

Even if I don't play havoc, it doesn't make it not terrible

[wraith sphinx]

a tasty kibble for an obese sea dweller

[patent mango]

i think if we complain about havoc for 5 more years they'll remove derank

[zealous wing]

lots of people enjoy it, just because you dont doesnt mean its not fun

[pine shore]

Derank is not the issue

[patent mango]

eh i know theres more but derank is the biggest

[wraith sphinx]

I think it very much is

[random spruce]

You're all my siblings so I'm legally required to love you all but I still hate you all too 💗

[patent mango]

probably lore accurate

[zealous wing]

its like mortis. i fucking LOVE mortis. lots of people dont. doesnt mean i say its the best gamemode there is

[pine shore]

The modifiers and the mandatory use of party finder are the issues

[patent mango]

oh god party finder

[wraith sphinx]

Deranking and lack of quickplay will keep havoc on life support for the foreseeable future

[patent mango]

imagine if you could derank out of auric LOL

terrible thought i just had

[wraith sphinx]

I think someone suggested that when they did the difficulty rework

[pale prairie]

I think what nemui is saying is that there are people at the same time who DO CARE (maybe too much) so how about rewarding someone for trying their best and practicing a lot and not just derank them into oblivion because they lose more of their matches than they win. Havoc rank after all doesn’t matter so who cares if someone gets their fast because they are “gud” vs someone who took forever to climb?

[pine shore]

The current havoc modifiers are extra terrible

[wraith sphinx]

It was as deranged as it sounded

[pine shore]

encroaching garden is just boring bullshit

[white sky]

Whew boy another pip on the demotion markers to fatsharks servers

Look

I might agree derank should exist if fatshark servers weren't

gestures broadly

[wraith sphinx]

lol yeah

[cursive thorn]

pretty cosmetics :(

[wraith sphinx]

spend up to 15 or more minutes assembling a decent team of randoms, get error 2014'ed

how bow dah

[zealous wing]

honestly a compromise would be put safeguards on deranking, so you can only derank like, at most 5 levels

[pine shore]

Once they make the modifiers not boring and bullshit and add quickplay, havoc will become much more popular

It's such a cool idea

[wraith sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/the-sopranos-tony-soprano-how-bout-dat-how-about-that-sopranos-gif-16854992944801209042

[zealous wing]

should be gone gone but, if they wanted to keep it

[royal totem]

Not even to mention game bugs lmao

[white sky]

Just dont make me lose a pip to the servers

[pine shore]

but such bad execution

[zealous wing]

also true FIX THE FUCKING SERVERS god DAMN

[wraith sphinx]

I agree

[pine shore]

If you derank 5 times in a row, you probably deserve to. How the fuck do you lose 15 games in a row

[wraith sphinx]

but until then circumstances just make havoc too toxic to enjoy

[royal totem]

Im not obliged to even pretend to like my siblings

I like some of them but just some

[white sky]

-loner

[pine shore]

I have True survivor with meta builds and I still don't get accepted into even h35 lobbies

[bright summit]

I've lost 60 havocs in a row once

[strong gulch]

Felt. I have some minor neurological / cognitive issues that make playing the game impossible some days.

[royal totem]

I do play loner

[white sky]

Lmfao

[patent mango]

god imagine no d erank in havoc i'd even ahve fun losing

[pine shore]

I would like to play havoc

[patent mango]

which is how h40 works

[royal totem]

I have 2 major ones

[pine shore]

but the modifiers and the party finder

holy shit

[pale prairie]

You inspire me

[strong gulch]

reeeee

[wraith sphinx]

true havoc was even less active before they added the rank 40 derank lock

[pine shore]

The game designer that made this should be impaled on a bulwarks shoulder

[bright summit]

Legendary Double psyker pub into garden + toll chasm station incident

[royal totem]

im both autistic and have ADHD

[patent mango]

minimum requirements to play psyker

[pine shore]

I have none, I am psyker

Am I even psyker?

[wraith sphinx]

party finder, I think it's been theorized that's a pet project from someone on the development team that keeps getting pushed through or smth
deranking, I vividly remember a playtester here mentioning they begged fatshark not to include it in havoc and they didn'tl isten

[royal totem]

Apparently not xD

[strong gulch]

I am adhd and the other is suspected.

Migraines and brain fog make it so I can't even recognize weapon swaps or what any of my UI is.

[white sky]

I just got 2014'd out of the havoc requeue, idk why I bother sometimes

[wraith sphinx]

play auric qp and have fun instead 🙂

[zealous wing]

migraines suck so bad

[white sky]

Auric is a snoozefest

[pine shore]

I play auric maelstroms and <h20 just to get the penance

[patent mango]

auric can be pretty eepy sometimes

[royal totem]

That sounds really rough. My condolances sibling.

[white sky]

Unless the players in your auric Are Bad™ auric isnt particularly interesting imo

[pine shore]

maelstroms can still throw some bullshit at you

[strong gulch]

or making

or makign

I can't sentence. I should go.

[zealous wing]

you could always try to learn true soloing

[wraith sphinx]

Serious question, do you exclusively play with premades and or known good players?

[white sky]

Nope

I qp this entire game

[royal totem]

HISTG auric with 3 terribles is spicy

[white sky]

Lemme show you something

[pale prairie]

Man that’s pretty unlucky for…..some

https://tenor.com/view/kk-gif-15803140109120205266

[pine shore]

Hi-Intesity auric is more difficult then histg

[royal totem]

I wish i could barrel them and get buffs for their deaths xD

[zinc phoenix]

Having to grind up to 40 again has completely killed my desire to play dt 😂

[white sky]

i've been doing this for a long, long time.

[wraith sphinx]

I don't get this sentiment that auric is a snoozefest when vast majority of auric randoms are so shit I'm basically playing through the missions solo and it's still exciting to do 1k hours in

[zinc phoenix]

The 20s teams are so bad and my hcl is like 0 rn so no one will join me 😂

[white sky]

@wraith sphinx because I'm an old man in tide years.

[pale prairie]

Yeah and then you crawl into my skull like it’s your house

GET OUT

[royal totem]

I unno i play a lot of inferno staff so more mobs is just more cleave.

[wraith sphinx]

I haven't played either vermintide game

[patent mango]

idk it feels like i win most aurics and i dont want that

it just feels repetitive when u win like 5 in a row

[wraith sphinx]

I like winning 🙂

[patent mango]

winning is fine but i want to earn it

[zealous wing]

could always play with shitty weapons

[patent mango]

naw i like greatsword

[pale prairie]

MISSING OUT. There’s nothing quite like being hoisted on a stick as a crowd ratling surround you like worshipers as you strangle to death

[white sky]

that is vermintide 1, and i could tell you war stories about v1 cata.

There is nothing in this game that makes me feel the way a V1 Cata Storm Vermin Patrol did

Toughness?

There was no toughness.

They just one shot you.

[zealous wing]

"back in my day we-"

[white sky]

Yeah

Oh yeah buddy

Ww2 vet grandpa is here rn

[zealous wing]

[pale prairie]

BOY I COULD TELL YOU WARSTORIES ABOUT CONTRA 3

FIRST OF ALL THERE WAS NONE OF THIS BULLSHIT SAVING

[zealous wing]

if i had to guess you've also got... life experience, about 4 decades worth

[pale prairie]

YOU STARTED FROM THE BEGINNING EVERYBTIME

[white sky]

No lol

[zealous wing]

[mighty fractal]

This is why the derank is absurd

[white sky]

Honestly I do think its absurd once you hit 40 you can do whatever

[wraith sphinx]

um well I don't know how to articulate my point further besides just restating auric and maelstrom still very much feels intense and exciting to me most of the time

[mighty fractal]

Havoc doesn't even take itself seriously once you get to 40

It's the climb that's sweaty

and it's a chore you have to do every 4 months

[wraith sphinx]

and the times it doesn't is because I got paired with genuinely terrible randoms

[white sky]

Ive been waiting for a mode like havoc since the game dropped tbh

Cause nothing was itching the Cata urge

[mighty fractal]

In between all of the disconnects, crashes, party join bugs, and so on

Havoc's great when it actually works

the system built around it stinks though

[patent mango]

havoc 40 is awesome honestly

before that? actually abysmal no fun at all

[mighty fractal]

Yeah

I've done the climb

[wraith sphinx]

then I go play havoc and I lose and get punished for losing because a true survivor smyker decided to stand still smiting the twins

[white sky]

I just depipped twice to 2014 errors and I'm gonna play SE5 invasions now for my mental health

[mighty fractal]

Yeah I've lost like 6 ranks from lobby crashes alone this season

[patent mango]

lmao

[mighty fractal]

At this point idk what the point of the rank system is, other than that FS tried to copy the WoW mythic key system for player retention purposes

(Pretty sure it drives more people away than keeps them)

[patent mango]

i don't even know

[wraith sphinx]

and yeah like

climbing havoc ranks DOES feel incredibly fucking unfun post 1.0

[patent mango]

i think we just gotta complain a lot so they finally fix it

i mean climbing to h40 the first time wasnt bad

[wraith sphinx]

in 1.0 havoc it was awesome because I was still shit at the game and learned a lot by playing it

[mighty fractal]

Average Havoc 40 match: yo check out this mission I have, it's so fucked up have fun trying to beat fucked-up mission

[patent mango]

but i've done it like multiple times

i am so done with the climb

[mighty fractal]

Average H30-39: GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY GAME

Yeah same

I've done it a few times already

[zealous wing]

make the reward caches something people will actually use would also be nice... like aquilas, even a small amount. diamantine and plasteel are so useless once you regularly do damnation and higher

[mighty fractal]

I can't see myself doing it every season, and I love this game

[patent mango]

i dont even want the reward

just let me play it

[wraith sphinx]

I managed to beat h21 with a gun psyker and I feel proud lol

[patent mango]

anything to skip the climb

[wraith sphinx]

don't really feel like playing any more havoc

[zealous wing]

GG

[mighty fractal]

Add a winstreak counter or something for the few sweaties who care

[white sky]

I laughed when I realized the reward was like, a drop in the ocean so to speak

[pale prairie]

Modded difficulties?

[royal totem]

You guys do this for rewards?

[wraith sphinx]

the weekly reward caches are noob bait honestly

[mighty fractal]

The bogus Clearance system doesn't even do its job because it hinges on the idea that you can leech off of people way above your weight

And people can just see your true rank anyway with mods

[patent mango]

no i have 300k plasteel

[zealous wing]

the only thing the reward caches are good for rn are a penance

[wraith sphinx]

makes people who aren't good enough at the game want to force their way thru havocs so they can get more crafting mats

[mighty fractal]

So if you're H38 clearance and dropped to 31, people will just ignore you anyway

(usually)

[patent mango]

but also getting more plasteel is kinda funny

[white sky]

Ill be honest with you I took hiatus for awhile cause the gacha weapons system pissed me off so much I unistalled the game so I didn't even bother

[mighty fractal]

The ranks are just dumb with how volatile and swingy this game is

[wraith sphinx]

yes!!!

especially the goofy derank system

[patent mango]

havoc derank is literally just the fun police

[mighty fractal]

imo just let people pass Clearance tests like with Maelstrom

to check if they can do the difficiulty

And if they can, then let em at it

[patent mango]

yeah lol

[wraith sphinx]

yup

[patent mango]

you could probably just play 4 confident strike ogryns and w+m1 to h40 anyways

idek how effective that'd be actually but it sounds like it could work

[royal totem]

I think theres also a thing where auric doesnt prepare you for havoc. Not even maelstrom really.

[wraith sphinx]

previous season I did h23 with an unoptimized gungryn build

literallly w+m1ing but with a twin stubber

[patent mango]

normal difficulties dont teach you to obliterate gunners the moment they spawn

[royal totem]

Id be down for bullshit modifiers in auric maelstrom with a nerf so it is easier. And more random weakened bosses thrown in

Weak twins. Weak captains...

[wraith sphinx]

3 out of 5 difficulties are extended tutorial too

[patent mango]

god why did they add havoc at all it was a mistake

[wraith sphinx]

they don't teach you anything, the real game only starts when you hit lvl 30

[patent mango]

it could've been 1 or 2 more difficulties

[wraith sphinx]

tbf something like havoc was definitely coming to placate sweats

just

[royal totem]

I do this to play with you . Lmao jk jk

[wraith sphinx]

they fumbled it hard lmao

[patent mango]

yeahh

[pale prairie]

Yeah I get that. I put so many Catas in and was still trying to find all my red weapons

Your relationship with havoc

[royal totem]

Accurate

[zealous wing]

pre-climax squabble between friends

it lines up

[royal totem]

Id play with hexis but hexis carries me xD

[zealous wing]

OOF you didnt see me play today

i was SHIIIT

“You’re really gonna climb to havoc 40 without me??”

nemui turned their back to their friend and raised a fist into the air as they walked away

“BELIEVE IT”

anime intro song

[graceful arch]

I would like it a lot more if it wasn't so dis-functional.

[patent mango]

we have to KILL havoc with hatchets

[pale prairie]

Hah you did well that last match?? HOW ABOUT 2 LOSSES AND A DISCONNECT?!?

I DONT CARE THAT YOURE SCARED TI FIND PARTY AGAIN

[zealous wing]

4x taxe psykers?

[graceful arch]

This havoc person needs to go

[patent mango]

beloved make them go awaaay

[pale prairie]

Whoaaaaaaaa

[royal totem]

I wrote my friend a poem about why playing with them feels bad. Lmao

[pale prairie]

Guess you’re carrying me 😭

[graceful arch]

Nah it's you lose 1, you have a game go really smoothly just to crash right before the final event

[royal totem]

Idk. You outdamage me

[pale prairie]

And then you have a bad fuck up on twins and wipe on your third

I'm craving a chicken sandwich at 3 am fuck my life

[zealous wing]

do you have chicken?

[pale prairie]

You high?

[graceful arch]

I got my 40 clearance last week

[royal totem]

Needs more enemy density clearly

[patent mango]

amogus potion at 3 am

[wraith sphinx]

No and no

[zealous wing]

f

guess you wait for at least 4 hours

[graceful arch]

It's surprisingly easy to beat havoc as long as you're pathing optimally and not taking unnecessary risk

[zealous wing]

if you have stores that open that early

extra does

[royal totem]

Pretty syre hexis is way better than me tgough. Seriously

[zealous wing]

at least, ours does

[patent mango]

the way havoc beats you is by making it more miserable every time you have to climb it again

[wraith sphinx]

I mean specifically a bomb chicken sandwich from a local joint

[pale prairie]

If he’s in America trust me that there is terrible fast food open somewhere

[zealous wing]

if its 3am no they arent american

[royal totem]

Can i ask you questions if i need help?

[wraith sphinx]

Anyways I go buy one if I still crave one when I wake up

[graceful arch]

Sure

[royal totem]

Thanks sibling :3

Im trying to find better paths

[pale prairie]

There was a 100k difference between you and beans and I think like 200k between you and me

[zealous wing]

yeah but i was on inferno

beans was on blazing VB

[pale prairie]

Hey means there are bigger and better levels of skill to chase

I don't have the energy for hair. I don't even use conditioner.

[zealous wing]

i have to use conditioner or my hair just is poof

[kind jay]

i had really long hair in high school. like down to my ass and i was 6' 0

[pale prairie]

I have to cause my scalp gets too itchy and dry

[pale prairie]

So like 3-4’ that’s crazy

The strongest neck in school

[strong gulch]

Long hair is cool

[royal totem]

Whats conditioner? 🤣

[zealous wing]

my spouse had long hair when he was around 20, but then someone said he looked like an elf (LOTR style elf), and he noped out. shaved head completely until about, 2-3 years ago

[kind jay]

yeah it got on my nerves eventually so i shaved it off before college rofl my mom was so mad

[strong gulch]

I had mild nightmares that it would strangle my in my sleep when I had longer hair.

[pale prairie]

Full scalp shave? That’s badass

[strong gulch]

When that shit get stuck in a chair.

[zealous wing]

sdbvhbs

long hair is fun in concept

its really not practical

[royal totem]

The longest my hair will grow is to bot of neck

[kind jay]

yup just in a whim one night i went and got it all cut and ended up just donating it

[pale prairie]

Even more badass

[zealous wing]

when i had long hair, and got it cut, it was over half a metre, i dont remember exactly how long... but BOY my head was SO much lighter, never again

[kind jay]

yeah that new feeling of freedom

ahh now im fidgeting with my hair and thinking about the clippers

how to fix the mullet

[royal totem]

One day i really want to play with Karien lmao

[zealous wing]

karien is a delight

[royal totem]

Im a bit silly though

[royal totem]

My brain is like a million gerbils per hour when i play VB

In comparison its about 100000 gerbils when i play EK

10000 when i play inferno

You fail to quell once and you go boom. Atleast with bubble.

[royal totem]

Im aware. Very aware

Its called the perils of the warp 😄

[mighty fractal]

VB Bubble my beloved

[graceful arch]

I will be a baby and do VB shriek if I have to play VB

[pale prairie]

Pffff shriek is only for the toughest of Psykers

[royal totem]

My brain is like 1000 gerbils per hour on zealot

[graceful arch]

Wdym it makes playing VB like 10X safer

[royal totem]

10 on arb and ogryn

[pale prairie]

Cause it means you got no protection from flame, grenades, bullet. Etc

[graceful arch]

Empathic evasion my beloved.

I die to self explosion more than enemies when I VB

Mostly cause I never run empyric resolve.

[static sonnet]

VB no ER is actually one of my favorite builds for survivability because with how fast you gen peril, im not afraid to just eat my whole bar with quietude restoring 50% toughness. Not to mention what you get for generating toughness now. Legendary change.

[pale prairie]

It only goes so far beloved

[graceful arch]

Fair

Unless you do the 100% uptime shenanigans with electro kinetic

[royal totem]

I love ek

[graceful arch]

I need to use VB until I no longer blow myself up with no crutches.

[kind jay]

i love standing in an open space with 600 gunners and seeing if i can m1 them with ek before i inevitably miss a shot and get turned into mist

[graceful arch]

Saw someone with ek just walk down like 10 snipers

It's all fun and games until you miss 2-3 shots

it used to be that taking this did nothing and it still blew you up

OH no it works fine

WU is fine

i use it often

alright, thanks

[zealous wing]

yeah CW makes shrieks and SG overload saves corrupt a wound anyway

[graceful arch]

Is the bug with venting shriek still there?

Ahhhhhhhhh

[zealous wing]

maybe i should see if i can find the code for it

im curious if my earlier hypothesis was correct with how they coded it

[wraith gulch]

holy shit Solaire of Astora from the hit game Dark Souls

[zealous wing]

ok im not certain

but

it looks like it might literally be
if overload, check for explosion kill for type elite, (no kill because shriek/sg), corrupt wound

[graceful arch]

They need to make an exception for when the explosion does not appear.

It seems

Anybody wanna help me get monstrous malleus? It’s the last psyker penance I’ve got (besides finishing missions)

[zealous wing]

what region?

long as it doesnt give me 200 ping or more, i can help

[still gazelle]

West coast

[graceful arch]

You will play on apac and you will like it

[zealous wing]

:(

lemme load up

west should be fine

[graceful arch]

Nah just put the server to east

It's better

[zealous wing]

nah its their penance

before i forget though, i found the crystal will code on this page:
https://github.com/Aussiemon/Darktide-Source-Code/blob/bb5ee8f4309f1bc9bf9327d2ef59a088ca1aa5d4/scripts/settings/buff/archetype_buff_templates/psyker_buff_templates.lua
for easier searching later

maybe i should make a document on what psyker talents are called ingame compared to code

[graceful arch]

Hexis you're a fellow Norwegian if I'm not stupid correct?

[still gazelle]

Can I get your steam username so I can invite you?

Oh nvm

[zealous wing]

and yes

My new term for when i get screwed out of my control is i got fatsharkked

[fossil topaz]

does anyone know why my parries are generating peril? i dont see any node that does it

[dusk timber]

Innate bonus with dueling swords on psyker

Generates peril but has better stats

[pale prairie]

Noooooo

[royal totem]

Kinetic deflection or sumthin?

Ah nvm

[royal totem]

At least the term is funny lmao

[pale prairie]

Did your flight get delayed again???

[royal totem]

Yes.

[pale prairie]

God emperor has failed us

[royal totem]

Theres about a 5% chance i make the connection which may dwindlev

[pale prairie]

Start stretching in the aisles

[radiant frigate]

[radiant frigate]

on DS? base functionality of the weapon

psyker uses 4% peril for an empowered riposte

[royal totem]

So it can tech overload you?

[pale prairie]

Damn you know a lot for being retired

[royal totem]

@pale prairie keep combat blade? Or switch to DS?

Kat is retired??

[radiant frigate]

I am always watching.

[pale prairie]

She hates arbites

And also crashing

And also just other fun games were to be played

[royal totem]

We're all liabilities here lmao

[radiant frigate]

maybe rogue trader soon

[white sky]

Its pretty fuckin good tbh

[royal totem]

"Liability? Not today. Today you are the Lex's hand."
"Stop trying to be nice. It makes me...uncomfortable"

[pale prairie]

Combat blade is the knife right? I think that’s good DS is also amazing though with the damage AND a parry mechanic

[royal totem]

Yes

Hmmm...i might switch to DS

I like combat blade a ton but i think DS will make life easier

[radiant frigate]

dueling sword is like knife if it didn't suck

[pale prairie]

I think a huge part of the game is trying new weapons until you find the thing that tickles your brain

[white sky]

Tbh you couldn't pay me to use DS

[royal totem]

I used to use DS all the time then knife

[radiant frigate]

on blaze trauma or inferno i would absolutely take a bribe to use DS

[royal totem]

Cuz knife gives me the 1000000 gerbils running in brain

[white sky]

I just find the "moveset" too uh

Linear

So to speak

[radiant frigate]

what do you use instead

[white sky]

Which class?

[royal totem]

The thing is im using by staff 80-90% of time

[fossil topaz]

shit thats why i blew up a couple times

[radiant frigate]

or what would you pick as a sidearm to blaze trauma or inferno

[white sky]

I

I dont use them tbh

Gun to head, FS

[radiant frigate]

nor do i but hypothetically

[white sky]

But I play psyker to play FGS meleeker

[royal totem]

.........lmao

[radiant frigate]

correct opinion

[royal totem]

I 60% use inferno 40% EK

[white sky]

I literally use the big sword

I dont pull out my primary lol

[radiant frigate]

big sword is primary

[white sky]

Exactly

Big sword goes fwoosh and blue light comes out

[royal totem]

I dun like big sword

[white sky]

Thats all the ranged i need

[royal totem]

Combat feels too slow for me

[radiant frigate]

siblings, burst his brain

[zealous wing]

taxe

[royal totem]

I guess Kat aint my sibling

[radiant frigate]

no sibling of mine

[strong gulch]

I just remembered. Earlier I did a game and I think KF made a DH mad. Half way through the DH getting killed, I remembered that DS has a parry now. lmao

[zealous wing]

so thats what happened

[strong gulch]

Yeah

[zealous wing]

i wondered why she suddenly died faster

[royal totem]

Does parry reflect damage or just nullify attack

[strong gulch]

Parry is also an attack.

[zealous wing]

its a parry

a parry is a retaliation

[royal totem]

Ok just making sure

[white sky]

I still want to know which dev thought giving DS parry was a nerf

[strong gulch]

Well there's an attack with the parry if you have the stam.

[pale prairie]

That was face stabs and SG

[radiant frigate]

i wonder how the new DS does on the "30 crushers" trial

[zealous wing]

no beans started helping

[strong gulch]

We all stabbed her

[pale prairie]

Kuro doesn’t like it either for the same reason

[zealous wing]

dh got the caeser treatment

[radiant frigate]

why do japanese names not like big sword

[zealous wing]

they dont like having superior melee reach

seriousness tho it is slow, but if its fast (celerity stim), you can see why they made it slow ( also big heavy sword)

fgs celerity is addicting

[radiant frigate]

it is big but the moveset is so smooth

[zealous wing]

mhm

[radiant frigate]

never felt it was slow

[zealous wing]

i did when i was used to deimos or other weaponry but now yeah its fine

[white sky]

Greatswords weren't swung slow tbh
