general-chat

[gilded socket]

He was a lvl 65

Kinda felt bad bgl

[fierce cave]

Bullying the low levels

[gilded socket]

Now the mf will know not to take other people’s shit

[twin flower]

Oh, still on Fallout 76?

[astral basin]

Thankfully in regards to that
I was the opposite w wilds
Friend bought it for us
Never picked it up again. We had to drag him face first to even a remote point in quests

[misty trench]

I mean even if you yourself have fully lead free ammo the other folks at the range likely don't

[gilded socket]

Yea

[tender horizon]

Man now I kinda want to play RoN again but ik the people are gonna be genuinely insufferable

[fiery wave]

I literally picked up bow just to annoy them. Since some say it's shit. Still had to stock on healing to chug so they don't cart all the time.

[astral basin]

I still crave some mh
I wanna pogo

[nocturne bloom]

depends, if its factory loaded target rounds theres a fair chance

50 50 really

[tender horizon]

If the lead density doesn't give me cancer something else will anyway

[nocturne bloom]

winchester and federal are the big 2 and they are popular range brands

[fallen tree]

thats the thing. sure if you play bow good you dont get hit as much. but stupid melee will call it out and still have to use so many meds to stay alive because they cant dodge properly. anyone who calls out ranged in a mh game is an idiot

[astral basin]

Bow interests me
Its like. An off set for me w charge blade
Charge blade gets the funni saw attack

[fiery wave]

Oh, I know. I got really petty and basically ended up going full Fatalis set just to glare at then the next time they decided to play it again.

[nocturne bloom]

lead free ammo is also made for indoor ranges from my knowledge

[fallen tree]

i would use better language but idk, i dont want to be super rude

[misty trench]

this is true, you don't wanna be inhaling combustion products regardless lol

[gilded socket]

FUCK

[tender horizon]

I've inhaled combustion products for probably the better part of a decade tbh

[nocturne bloom]

ye, as i said its very very used in indoor ranges

[tender horizon]

Willingly infact

Beer and a dart go together like a piss and a fart, as they say.

[gilded socket]

@fierce cave hey CAS 👉👈 do you perchance have the cultist monarch outfit as a plan and or can make one for me… I accidentally scrapped mine….

[astral basin]

Excellent saying lmao

[misty trench]

I mean we're all inhaling combustion products if we live near a street anyway

[fiery wave]

At least you got given it. Too ex to bother tbh. Better to just wait for expansion and deep discounts if I'm just soloing anyway.

[fierce cave]

I can make them

[nocturne bloom]

not me having every plan learned on my xbox save

[gilded socket]

Can i have one,,,,,

[gilded socket]

Ill get there one day

[misty trench]

it's a hard knock life in tertium

[fierce cave]

For a price

[fallen tree]

i played charge blade a lot when it was first introduced , its pretty fun. im sure they've changed a bit of it since then. but mostly im a greatsword/longsword/bow user

[gilded socket]

Being?

[nocturne bloom]

i live in the woods

[fierce cave]

Mwahahahhaa

[gilded socket]

Uhh?

[jade stump]

i like me a hunting horn, granted my only taste of monster hunter was world

[fierce cave]

You gotta play helldivers with me

That's my price

[jade stump]

havent gotten any of the latest installments

[fiery wave]

I might have fed into it with my light bowgun set up. It's full share. I ran 'support' with it.

[astral basin]

Glaive, lance, and… hmm
I dabble but. I havent seen anything that suits me otherwise

[gilded socket]

Finneeeeeeee but now i want wahtever enclave outfits i dont currently have too then

[misty trench]

brother lives in the woods with an EV and induction boiler+stove

[fierce cave]

You and the enclave smh

[gilded socket]

A girl has her favorite

[fallen tree]

hunting horn is one ive always wanted to play but never gave it a chance. i do like being support, but im just not a mace person. in any game i prefer swords over blunt 🤷‍♂️

[fierce cave]

Your mine

[gilded socket]

Wih

[jade stump]

slashing off bits of monsters is hella cool so i respect the hussle

[fallen tree]

just call me tail cutter 😏

[gilded socket]

Fuce fucking lucky plan pull. I just got the halloween skull mask plan

[jade stump]

the blade dino will rue the day it crossed paths with you

its tail is its favorite thing

[fallen tree]

best part of the monster to cook and eat. god i would actually kill to eat the food in monster hunter

[fiery wave]

I just didn't like the feel for it. Heck, all the melees. XD

[jade stump]

them palicos are insanely talented so im right there with ya

[fallen tree]

fair enough, i think everything is worth playing, fuck the meta. id rather play with someone who enjoys playing what they're using

[fiery wave]

I just don't judge. Is just hit monster till dead for most parts anyway and well, not be hit by it.

[tender horizon]

I used uh, whatever the sword and shield that turned into an axe was when I played MH

Very fun weapon

[fallen tree]

id play with you if i still played, you have a similar mindest. makes for the best teams

[nocturne bloom]

actually i heat my house with a wood stove like a true woodsman

cut my own wood every year

[tender horizon]

Darktide gen chat I'm very excited for my sword to arrive

I've predicated a lot of my mental health upon this

[astral basin]

Switchaxe

[tender horizon]

That's the bitch

[fiery wave]

I stopped. Did everything then moved on. Well rare 'pets'.

[lethal solstice]

Charge blade

My beloved

[tender horizon]

Maybe that was it

[astral basin]

See. Switchaxe is cool
But like
guard contests with chargeblade

[lethal solstice]

Fuck ass textbook required combo weapon

[tender horizon]

I can't remember if it was swace or cb tbh

[lethal solstice]

Switch axe is one weapon

[tender horizon]

Probably charge blade cause it had 5 lightbulbs or something

[lethal solstice]

Charge blade seperates

Yeah thats charge blade

Goofy 4 power states weapon

[astral basin]

Oh yeah chargeblade is great

[tender horizon]

Charge Blade felt like it asked me to learn mastery of it

Which was very nice

[astral basin]

Saw blade go brrrrrrrrr

[lethal solstice]

Yeah it does

[tender horizon]

It felt very rewarding to learn

[astral basin]

Meanwhile
Insect glaive
Cant hit me if im in the air
Cant escape me if you got wings

Mounted

[tender horizon]

Yeah it was defo charge blade

[lethal solstice]

I however just pop my funny power states, spam charged sword slashes, then pop SAED's as fast as I can

Because big dopamine nuke swing funny

[misty trench]

my favourite part of MH was the part where I didn't finish the game

[fallen tree]

greatsword #1 always and forever

[knotty terrace]

Dual blades user through and through

[lethal solstice]

I haven't beaten sunbreak so same

[shy sandal]

My favorite part was playing for 30 minutes and then never touching it again

[tender horizon]

I beat one of them cause my former friends told me to and then said "yeah we'll play together when you hit the real game" and then we never did

Very disappointing

[lethal solstice]

Shame

[knotty terrace]

Wait you guys actually played monster hunter rise

[lethal solstice]

Monster hunter is fun

[lethal solstice]

Yeah it was cool

[fiery wave]

I don't remember which melee I used the most, only HBG was 1, LBG was 2 and Bow was 3.

[trail bramble]

Rise is good (now)

[tender horizon]

Tbh they way over sold it when they said it's "like dark souls"

[trail bramble]

It had a rough launch cause covid

[knotty terrace]

Shit game invalid opinion

[tender horizon]

In the sense that you beat bosses, yes.

[astral basin]

Fuck rise
That game didnt get me interested in the franchise
Too specifically stylized

[tender horizon]

Its not actually like souls tho.

[lethal solstice]

Wait part of massive backflip out of attack range then dragonpiercer isn't cool

[shy sandal]

Son... 😭 🥀 💔

[fiery wave]

That was basically what happened to me. Except we did play a little and I question how they even got that far.

[astral basin]

“Hm. Bosses, swords, dodge. Must be a soulslike”

[misty trench]

I only ever tried out MH world and my god the unskippable cutscenes were killing me

[astral basin]

Wilds lets you skip iirc

[tender horizon]

Dude i have a friend who bought me metal gear snake eater and the dialogue is fucking killing me

[trail bramble]

its a part of the souls design ancestry for sure
I'm reasonably sure that MonHun was one of the first Japanese action games to have a stamina bar for attacks

[long iron]

Rise was neat enough. Haven't played more world yet.

[lethal solstice]

Dark souls is actually a monster hunter like

Mh 1 is 2004
Demons souls is 2009

[tender horizon]

Dark souls is, ime, drastically more fun than MH

[marsh iris]

rise wirebug is mega fun

[shy sandal]

The thing that made me not bother is that it was a Capcom game... And i don't like the artistic direction of Capcom games

[trail bramble]

it's a Capcom game...

[tender horizon]

Tbf kings field is from the 90s

[lethal solstice]

Yeah but its funny when people call mh a soulslike

[fallen tree]

kings field

[lethal solstice]

Because its inaccurate in like every way

[astral basin]

Foolish bug
Demon souls wasnt the first

[tender horizon]

Why does the save person tell me about fucking godzilla for like 5 minutes straight, what kind of tism does Kojima have

[fiery wave]

Well, you roll everywhere and can get 1 tapped by random slam.

[shy sandal]

Mb i get those co fused sometimes

[marsh iris]

i like baiting monsters to another with stinkmink and do monster on monster battles

[tender horizon]

I can just play JWE for this

[misty trench]

it's actually a valheim-like

[lethal solstice]

Skinning you

[astral basin]

KINGSFIELD, ORIGINATOR OF THE MOONLIGHT GREATSWORD!
May we ever be haunted by that damn slab of blue

[lethal solstice]

Valheim is a carpentry game with rpg mechanics

[trail bramble]

actually, all videogames are shit-likes because all videogames are shit

[fiery wave]

Is like you are courting death or something.

[fallen tree]

Ah, you were at my side all along. My true mentor. My guiding moonlight.

[shy sandal]

Even Garfield Kart?

[misty trench]

a stardew-like

[lethal solstice]

Nope

Stardew doesn't even have structural considerations

[misty trench]

sure it does

[fallen tree]

all games are actually dwarf fortress likes.

[misty trench]

I can't clip my shack into my partner's house and fuck it all up

[lethal solstice]

Valheim is an awesome game to build a cool ass house and then never play again

[fiery wave]

Space needed isn't structural.

[shy sandal]

All fps are Quake likes

[astral basin]

Valheim is the game to make a massive hut you accidentally keep burning down

[misty trench]

space is structural

[fallen tree]

they should be

[misty trench]

the universe is structural

life itself is structural

[lethal solstice]

Burning it down sounds like a you problem

[fiery wave]

You mean every game is like reverse pong, you just don't wanna be hit by the ball.

[nocturne bloom]

valheim is the game you build a random dollar general in and leave the persons server forever

[misty trench]

I've actually been hooked on valheim lately tbh, it's fun to explore and idm the general loop

[astral basin]

Look, game kept saying i was cold
I cant put a campfire on the floor of the house
So i am required to make it aztec style. With wood rather than mud

[shy sandal]

I call games like Valheim "Hit tree with Rock" genre...
Rust, Arc, Valheim, The Forest... And so on

[misty trench]

the combat is actually kinda fun now with the trinkets and adrenaline system they added

[fallen tree]

valheim should have let you climb onto the branches in the sky. i feel like they could have done way more with the whole game

[tender horizon]

Moonlight gives me a warm sense of nostalgia tbh, even if I never use it

[lethal solstice]

The trick is a dirt mound in the middle of the house that gets to floor level

[abstract fiber]

valheim scrapping ocean biome 🤮

[tender horizon]

I like moonlight way more in AC than DS tbh

[misty trench]

fighting a kraken or smth would've been lit

alas

[tender horizon]

I should play Val solo tbh

[misty trench]

build a house out of coral

[tender horizon]

Its always ruined by co op ime

[trail bramble]

wanna know a game with a great Kraken fight
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

Nakarkos my beloved

[abstract fiber]

a game about vikings and cant think of any engaging things to do for seafaring other than transporting iron

[misty trench]

I play it with my partner and it's chill but that's a different dynamic to having a server with a bunch of people

[fiery wave]

Isn't that normal when you round the corner into a suspiciously phallic building.

[shy sandal]

I thought you were going to say God of War for a moment 💔

[misty trench]

hunting serpents is the only other thing really aside from travel and resource running

[shy sandal]

Three types of builders.

1. House builder
2. Penis builder
3. Jigsaw npc trap builder

Mfs be talking about "villager farm" in minecraft just to show me a concentration camp

[fiery wave]

Ah yeah, 3 might be also other player trap builder.

[tender horizon]

Nah I mean everytime I play co op someone always gets ahead of the tech curve and hands me good weapons and my purpose becomes killing and dying cause I get to skip actual prog

I like the suffering for better things grind in games

[fiery wave]

Oh, that happens since I tend to get games late cos costs.

[shy sandal]

People who rush content in survival games kind of ruin the experience

[fiery wave]

Or I'm just a fresh spawn into a late game world thing.

Because nobody wants to restart.

[shy sandal]

For this and other reasons i play as an anarcho primitivist in minecraft.

[tender horizon]

This is my experience, yes. If I'm not apart of the tech curve I lose focus on it tbh.

[tender horizon]

The grind is a massive part of the fun for me tbh.

If i don't earn the good stuff I also don't care if I lose.it dying

[jaunty path]

I am happy to announce Endacopa will be REAL in the summer time

lets GO

[abstract fiber]

abiotic factor best survival game

[fiery wave]

I don't like the grind but also feels unfun being dropped into hell.

[shy sandal]

Kill the industrialists, return to monke

[astral basin]

F

[tender horizon]

Idk, if I get handed good gear I don't value it

[fiery wave]

I rather it be 'cheaper' to craft.

The red stone society and it's future. By Ted Mobinsky

[delicate vapor]

Was eating a bag of peanut M&M in the shower with the lights off

[fiery wave]

We really didn't need to know your kink.

[delicate vapor]

[fallen tree]

peanut m&ms are so good tho

crispy ones are second

[fierce cave]

Peanut?

At the same time?

[fiery wave]

I like crispy, but still. In the shower? On a public Discord?

[fallen tree]

like coated peanuts but m&m brand

[fallen tree]

i skipped all the shower stuff

eating in the shower is weird no matter the food except maybe an apple

[fierce cave]

Shower beer

[fallen tree]

shower beer i agree with too, its a drink tho

but yeee

[rancid totem]

i love a good shower beer

[fierce cave]

Infinite beer

[tender horizon]

I can't even remember how much was involved in the val tech grind tbh, the only survival crafter I played extensively was subnautica

Its the only one that really grabbed me

[fiery wave]

I meant in general.

Or I would just get bored by the early game hit trees and hide in the night thing.

It's not fun holing up in a tiny box for 3 mins AFKing.

[fierce cave]

Top ten reasons to reason ten tops

[sleek harness]

What the hell are yall awake for

Do you guys really got nothing else to do?

[twin dirge]

Work

[halcyon glen]

Son 😭 I’m crine

[tender horizon]

Playing elden ring and drinking vodka tbqh

[sleek harness]

Wasn't talking to you, employee

Don't take offense

[gilded socket]

Skav

[twin dirge]

Playing abiotic factor with my friends and the way we solved this was by just not progressing without each other

[sleek harness]

Maxine it's 5 am

[light heron]

Gotta time my sleep.
Got an 11a-11p shift tomorrow.

[sleek harness]

Go to sleep

[gilded socket]

Its 12pm dumbass

[twin dirge]

Go to sleep anyways

[tender horizon]

I've never gotten to coordinate scheduling for a survival game tbh

[sleek harness]

That's because you aren't American or Brazilian

Dumbass

[gloomy void]

When she darks all over my tide tell i 40K

[tender horizon]

Isnt this past your bedtime anyway

[gilded socket]

Wdym?

[sleek harness]

12 pm is sleep time

[orchid hinge]

did the team text chat stop working on inventory and pause menu? i thought it used to show but not anymore

[sleek harness]

Didn't your mama told you that?

[gilded socket]

Sorry im not Brazilian

[gilded socket]

Nuh

[twin dirge]

It just works, I'm the only one that's ever busy so I just host, they can't play if I'm not there and anytime I'm there they're most likely online

[sleek harness]

Good

[tender horizon]

I'm implying you're still of the age to have a designated time to sleep

[sleek harness]

Someone would have robbed you easily

[tender horizon]

Whoa, what's wrong with brasil

[fiery wave]

It's 4pm.

[twin dirge]

It is indeed 3am

[sleek harness]

Lots of crime and stealing

[tender horizon]

Its 2:56am here

[twin dirge]

[tall yarrow]

Hey I understand the is not Lfg but would anyone mind helping me and my buddy power level arbites with twin skip?

[twin dirge]

East Coast baybeeee

[sleek harness]

Karien

[tender horizon]

Do not care, pretty women.

[sleek harness]

Do you know

How time zone works

[fiery wave]

I know I'm on EU sleep schedule, but still.

[sleek harness]

Go to sleep woman

[fiery wave]

It's 4 PM.

[sleek harness]

You all too

[tender horizon]

Or play elden ring

Don't sleep

[sleek harness]

Oh readt it as AM

[fiery wave]

Don't have, too ex, probably will hate invasions anyway so eh.

[tender horizon]

You don't have to play with invasions

[sleek harness]

Well, it isn't my fault you are far away from us South Americans

[tender horizon]

Those only happen if you opt into online mode

[fiery wave]

They finally let you just turn it off?

[tender horizon]

I mean

[lethal solstice]

No

[tender horizon]

What do you consider turn it off

[twin dirge]

Just load offline

Lmfao

[lethal solstice]

They let you turn it on

[twin dirge]

^

[tender horizon]

Have we had this conversation before?

[twin dirge]

Taunters tongue

[tender horizon]

You have to pop a finger paste or whatever

To have co op and invasions on

[fiery wave]

Pure offline me vs AI.

[tender horizon]

This is an option in literally every souls game

Just don't use the finger paste

[twin dirge]

I disconnect my Xbox from internet for elden right

[tender horizon]

/humanity/whatever they call it in that one

[lethal solstice]

You can manually set the games to offline in the menu for all of them right

[fiery wave]

Only for consoles.

[tender horizon]

Yes/you can also just not pop the item that says "i want co op/invasions on"

[sleek harness]

What's wrong with playing Elden Ring with internet

[lethal solstice]

Nothing

Except certain fights being harder

[sleek harness]

Then what's the point

[fiery wave]

Never had it for the PC versions.

[sleek harness]

Does it make it lag or something?

[lethal solstice]

No

[fiery wave]

You chance cheaters.

Or twinks.

[lethal solstice]

There are two(?) fights that pull builds from real people

[sleek harness]

I am not complaining about this

The latter I am

[lethal solstice]

So you run the risk of encountering some goofy bullshit someone cooked up

[tender horizon]

Great arsenal and what?

I'm blanking

[lethal solstice]

Fia's champions

[tender horizon]

Right, ty

[fiery wave]

I am, would you like to fight someone with end game stuff but low enough that you meet them with barely any real stuff?

[sleek harness]

What do you mean by low

Are they short?

[fiery wave]

Because, that's twinking.

Low lvl.

[sleek harness]

I thought you were talking about another kind of twink

[fiery wave]

Or whatever they use to matchmake in that.

[sleek harness]

You should let them cook

[fiery wave]

Idea is to beat on new players for funny.

[sleek harness]

You might even appear on one of thoses complications where the guy tries weak builds and still wins

[tender horizon]

I've played my entire playthrough for prog offline fwiw

[twin flower]

wuh now?

[tender horizon]

Outside of a few invasions/sending my summon sign out

[fiery wave]

Think the MMO ver of twinking.

[lethal solstice]

Does twinking even work that well in elden ring

[sleek harness]

Twinks in Elden Ring vs twinks in real life:

[nimble crystal]

So is it just the case that not many people play Havoc, or is it just cus I've never done Havoc before?

[tender horizon]

If you're good enough to pull it off but it's not as easy as like, ds1

[lethal solstice]

The most I can think of is late game talismans and upgraded weapons

Cause you can't use anything cool cause stat requirements and a shitty endurance

[nimble crystal]

I have to list my own party, but I'm doubtful anyone will join. I requested to join 3 other parties and each of them denied me.

[fiery wave]

Depends on server. Some are dead.

[twin dirge]

This is why I just play my level 400 colosseum

[round mica]

anyone know if the impact node on heavy hitter reaches any stagger breakpoints on any weapons? can't tell if it makes a difference on the slab shield

[twin dirge]

Everyone is equal under that banner

[fiery wave]

You get gated if not 1k lvl, not havoc 40, not having a meta loadout and not the class they want.

[sleek harness]

Havoc players depend on your profile cosmetics to know if you are good or not

Also your havoc level

[charred furnace]

is the hp bar above enemy's a mod?

[tender horizon]

The H40 True Survivor will die first every single time

[sleek harness]

If you have none of theses you will look like a a new player trying havoc for the first time

[fiery wave]

Still can be enough to bash in confused newer players.

Like, one sided.

[sleek harness]

I mean portrait, the title means nothing

[fierce cave]

Sleep is not for women

[tall grove]

Then ragequit

[stark bobcat]

Mods or you are seeing it in the test room where they show up

[tall grove]

Because women are woke

[fierce cave]

I'm not woke

Im awake

The difference is 2 a

[lethal solstice]

At that point you're just skill gapping them anyway

[tall grove]

You disgust me
Get out of my sight

[jaunty path]

bully new players

[fiery wave]

Never use those titles.

[fierce cave]

Oh

[lethal solstice]

You probably would've won that fight without the +25 heavy longsword

[fierce cave]

ok

[twin dirge]

I struggle to call this anything more than a skill issue, you can kick the ass of someone 100 levels higher than you with a level 1 sword if you can dodge

You're gonna win regardless

[sleek harness]

Are you saying that you are a woman?

[tall grove]

I refuse to interact with non-woke individuals

[sleek harness]

Because you just mentioned not sleeping

[twin dirge]

^

[fiery wave]

Yeah, but you get easy wins rather than fighting your actual weight class. Some people are like that.

[halcyon glen]

Son 😭 I’m crine

[tender horizon]

Yeah we had this convo before

[twin dirge]

Also

[tender horizon]

You can play souls games effectively offline

[tall grove]

https://tenor.com/view/charlie-kirk-gguh-trending-meme-charlie-kirk-gif-260876314022351132

[lethal solstice]

I'm sure

Time is a flat circle and all

[twin dirge]

Elden Ring pvp is level based, you won't get invaded by anyone more than a couple levels above you

[tender horizon]

If you don't use the "I want to pvp/summon item"

[twin flower]

twink mmo?

[tender horizon]

Nah I've have this exact convo with Karien

[lethal solstice]

Yeah I was agreeing

[sleek harness]

Every man's dream

[tall grove]

Still no clue what thinking means in this context

[lethal solstice]

Time also happens to be a flat circle

[fiery wave]

It means an alt you fed high lvl gear to.

[lethal solstice]

Especially here

[halcyon glen]

https://tenor.com/view/baby-laugh-ai-baby-babyfryingme-baby-sob-folk-gif-18221933230434867320

[tender horizon]

My b, I'm pretty intoxicated

[tall grove]

https://tenor.com/view/true-truth-nuke-super-truth-nova-truth-meme-gif-16889273424352737553

[twin dirge]

So what if they just beat the game level 1 like so many people do?

[twin flower]

Like a smurf?

[fiery wave]

Yeah. People just call it twinking in MMOs.

[tender horizon]

Twink or smurf, yeah

[tall grove]

Twink smurfs when

[twin dirge]

Also also, you can't drop items that are leveled in elden Ring, it won't show up if you aren't capable of doing it yourself

[sleek harness]

Such a twinkler, using high level armor while level 10

[twin dirge]

I can try and drop my level 1 char a max level sword but it won't show up

[tender horizon]

You can but it's a royal pain in the ass

You need to go through a bunch of tiered characters

[lethal solstice]

The issue with attempting something like that in elden ring is low level people with summons active probably have a much higher leveled friend in with them

Or else they wouldn't have the item active

[twin dirge]

That too, I ended up playing it co op with my buddy who was like level 300 at the time

Watching him shit stomp any invades was fun

[twin flower]

They do?

[sleek harness]

Probably not

Karien could be crazy

[twin dirge]

What did the twinks ever do to you

[sleek harness]

Beat me up with end game gear while level 1

[tender horizon]

Tbh even then their high level friends get gimped cause it scales them down

[twin dirge]

Ass pain

[sleek harness]

Such a twinkler

[twin flower]

Twinks make you crazy?

[tender horizon]

Idk souls games can all be played pure single-player

[tall grove]

Crazy for twinks

[twin dirge]

I still can't see this being an issue, the greatsword you get from killing the very first dude you see is like second to legendary armaments lmfao

Lordsword greatsword goes hard

[fiery wave]

The idea is like, rather not PvP but you know how ppl will always push for an advantage to beat others. (Also had to deal with things burning. Was too focused and forgot water evaporates so the steamer went dry.)

[twin dirge]

We love increased crit dmg

[twin dirge]

I'll also just mention elden Ring pvp is optional, you don't get invaded if you don't have a co op companion

[fiery wave]

You can look it up.

[twin dirge]

(or use taunters tongue)

[tender horizon]

You're not obligated to PvP in any souls game except possibly Ds2

Cause ds2 popping a humanity is what gives you your full hp bar back

[fierce cave]

My tongue was cut off

[twin dirge]

Pvp tends to land in "I've beaten the game 3 times now it's time to beat other people"

[twin flower]

Wonder how that came about

"I got this item I wanna give my twink"

[fierce cave]

Did you try the humanity drug?

[twin dirge]

Is that why you're so quiet

[twin flower]

[fiery wave]

No clue, just is. Likely because smoll baby weak char with end game or just boosted gear.

[twin dirge]

I like getting invaded because free runes

[fiery wave]

Which is still dumb. Gimping people or forcing them to suffer invasions suck.

[lethal solstice]

You can still disconnect your game from network

[tender horizon]

Yk my stance on this tbf, weve had this convo before

Ds2 has weird systems

[fierce cave]

Damm whore

[lethal solstice]

Turn your devices internet off
Open game and load character
Turn it back on

[fiery wave]

Pulling the plug is still annoying.

[fierce cave]

Runing it

[lethal solstice]

Is it more annoying than invasions

[tender horizon]

literally as long as you don't use a finger paste in er you won't be invaded

You don't have to pull a plug

Same goes for ds1 and 3

[fiery wave]

Can be, you could be doing other things that require internet. Or achievements if that matters.

[tender horizon]

See above

[lethal solstice]

I literally said you can turn it back on

[fiery wave]

Some games require you to restart if you lose connection for whatever reason.

[tender horizon]

Ds isnt one of them

[lethal solstice]

(Elden ring is, it'll kick you to main menu if your connection drops)

[fiery wave]

That's time to reconnect. It's like I said, there's other Soulslike that doesn't interwine PvP. I'll just play those instead.

[tender horizon]

You're still allowed to play it entirely without connection/without being invaded while connected

[lethal solstice]

You just press the button then alt tab

[tender horizon]

Genuinely you just don't get how DS works

[lethal solstice]

Or better yet

Not use the item

[tender horizon]

Literally

[lethal solstice]

The item that specifically states it makes you invadeable

[tender horizon]

Pvp in DS1/3/ER/BB is tied to using the item that says "i want to interact with the online mode now"

[fiery wave]

Dunno, I just got red people in my game straight one shotting back when I played it.

[lethal solstice]

That changes nothing about the game when active except allowing other players in

[tender horizon]

Which one

[fiery wave]

1 og and 2 scholar of the sins edition.

[tender horizon]

Yeah

We talked about this

You didn't know how 1 worked

And 2 is weird and has weird systems

[fiery wave]

It was patchwork from what people said so. Many messed up and unfinished stuff.

[tender horizon]

Yeah well

[fierce cave]

Hm

[tender horizon]

You're unfairly judging a game based off bad info

Which is incorrect.

You genuinely never have to interact with pvp/summons in the games unless you opt to outside of 2 which has many unpopular systems even amongst people who like the games.

[lethal solstice]

Or you want specific covenant items

[tender horizon]

Which are also niche

[fiery wave]

Still annoying if you like collecting, I would assume.

[lethal solstice]

And thats only for dark souls
You can get those in elden ring via npc invasion

[tender horizon]

Depends on how much you care ig

[quaint moss]

🍔

[tender horizon]

Most of the "i want to interact with other players" gained items are also for that set of play

Like the bloody finger in ER strictly benefits invasions

[nimble crystal]

Havoc is awesome.

[tender horizon]

And you get it by invading

[iron plover]

What is my life...

[tender horizon]

The only pve gained items for pvp are like, the ds2 invisible weapons

[iron plover]

Watching Bricky streams while thinking about Darktide

[light heron]

While bricced up?

[lethal solstice]

Theres the dark moon stuff in ds1 i think

[fiery wave]

NPC invasions are just PvE so not really an issue. I guess just jaded from trying to play 2 to constant invasions because but thou must or suffer more.

[lethal solstice]

I have no real idea I just googled it

[tender horizon]

You can get souvenirs of reprisal entirely through pve

You can farm them in painted world

Or through snuggly iirc

[lethal solstice]

Yeah I just skimmed the wiki page

[tender horizon]

Ik because I pve farmed them in ds1 when it was very dead

[lethal solstice]

Oh no I'm just slightly stupid I am staring at the "can be farmed from harpies" bit right now

[tender horizon]

Generally the only things you get from pvp are things youd want to pvp more

[fiery wave]

I think was farming them in the painted world.

Low drop rate but yeah.

[twin dirge]

I should get ds3

[fiery wave]

Or for fashion, I guess.

[tender horizon]

What fashion are you concerned about that requires pvp

[iron plover]

Lol, all the different class channels are very on brand. Vets are talking about different weapons, Zealots are talking about eating nuclear crayons or some shit, Psykers are talking about geometry, Ogryn is talking about littluns, Arbites are talking about hitting people while not getting hit and Hivescum are talking about different types of ammo that kill better than others.

[astral basin]

Dark souls 1 and 3: im scared of every fkn corner and some asshat just made things worse
Ds2: im having a wonderful time exploring, oh hey a dude invaded neat
Elden ring: yeah yeah we bros beatin on some enemies yeah ye- johnny? Johnny whered you go?

[lethal solstice]

Zealot is the actually good general chat

[twin flower]

Who's Johny

[twin dirge]

Me

[keen moon]

fatshark come back I want an update

[twin flower]

[twin dirge]

The obese fish shall not return

[iron plover]

Update better include a Hellgun......

[keen moon]

[twin flower]

Prolly not

[astral basin]

Elden ring pvp
Invasions can only happen when you have a party up, usually someone gets nuked bc “op build combo”

[iron plover]

Told ya'll I'm dying on this hill...

[jaunty path]

fatshark was killed in a driveby

[twin flower]

Missus was the shooter

[iron plover]

Now it's PlumpSquid

[tender horizon]

Ime people do not level vigor enough in ER, I literally one shot 2 hosts earlier today cause of it

[twin flower]

Why have you done this

[astral basin]

They nerfed a lot but. Its still wild west if you are exploring rather than waiting for duel to happen

[fiery wave]

Honestly don't remember. Brain just shoves most of things I stopped bothering out to make room for new things unless it clicks to a negative or highly positive emotion.

[astral basin]

Low vigor is a problem too ngl

[tender horizon]

I promise you almost nothing is predicated on actually dealing with other people unless it benefits dealing with other people more in ER and most souls games. Normally there is a way to farm anything in PvE mode because FS understands people like you who do not want to interact with the online/cannot interact with the online exist.

[astral basin]

Early zones i might be rocking 20 if im lucky
20vig, chosen weapon stats at 26, 20 end

[tender horizon]

I have 35 vigor/20 end/40 dex rn and I'm level uhhh 72

[astral basin]

Yeah no my souls experience was entirely offline. Largely bc i didnt HAVE internet af the time

[quaint moss]

[turbid jungle]

leveling vigor is a sign of cowardice and should be punishable by deathh

[fiery wave]

I know it's more of a chore though to entice PvP for most parts.

[iron plover]

Wait...are we talking Elden Ring now?

[quaint moss]

scripted npc invaders was always goofy

[tender horizon]

Yes

[iron plover]

Love Souls games. Just started another ER run last week

[quaint moss]

they usually hit way harder than actual players

[turbid jungle]

scythe guy in the roundtable hold

[astral basin]

So. The online only factions? They typically had like. 1 enemy that dropped their token
And. Yes. It was indeed a chore. I never actually did those farms

[turbid jungle]

actual real deal noob trap

[tender horizon]

Same, been very slow playing ER

[fiery wave]

It just feels like, you do this our way or we won't respect your time.

[tender horizon]

There are a lot of items to boost drop chances that I'm entirely sure you did not know existed tbqh

[fiery wave]

It's likely hidden or on some NPC since not really the murder hobo type.

[tender horizon]

Or yk, in the world. Like always.

[lethal solstice]

I started a new er run today and the randomizer (a coin and a d4) have decided i am playing Dex/int

[tender horizon]

You are woefully unaware of how these games work and you keep judging them harshly.

[astral basin]

Ds2 had drop rate stuff out the cheeks
Made it very easy to pick up stuff

[tender horizon]

They all do

Most of them even have a stat tied to it you can level

If you really want all the drops ever

[fiery wave]

Hidden can just be on the world in an out of place place. But still, a 5% is still a 5%. You can get 10 in 10 kills or 0 in 100 kills.

[lethal solstice]

Said stat is also where they put all the fun spells

[tender horizon]

Okay

If you don't want to like the games you don't have to

But your judgements come from a place of ignorance

[lethal solstice]

This isn't anywhere near a souls specific problem

[tender horizon]

Every single complaint you have about them is discreditable

If you told me you simply didn't like them I wouldn't care

But you're actively judging my favorite game series from a place of sheer ignorance.

[astral basin]

Ds1 had humanity
But. That allowed more invades.
Ds3 had a stat
They all had rings, at least a helmet. A consumable? I only remember bird feet in er? Ds2 had a whole armor set

[twin flower]

is it getting spoicy in here

[tender horizon]

Solid vs liquid humanity were different

You could have liquid humanity to boost drop rates without beoming online in ds1

Solid humanity is what made you online

Otherwise known as having the white outline on the numbers

[fiery wave]

It could be on more enemies for one. But nope, usually just one single thing on a low rate.

[lethal solstice]

Ok

You play mmos right

Why are you complaining

[tender horizon]

Armor sets+rings+consumables have boosted drop rates across the entire souls series

[fiery wave]

On private 1000x servers.

[astral basin]

Ds2 sunlight tokens were the WORST farm i saw
So. That was the main thing that turned me off of it
Rat covenant just need a certain two bosses farmed

[tender horizon]

+maybe even a stat

Like Arcane in ER

Boosts drop rates at a 1:1 value with level

[astral basin]

That. Doesnt. Oh i see
Still doesn’t sound right

[tender horizon]

I promise you it is if you want to go wikidive it, I've been playing ds1 for approximately 14 years atp

[fiery wave]

So any quest drop is guaranteed. And only really rare stuff (usually for show) is 'rare'.

[astral basin]

Off to the tube of you i retreat
I need to work

[twin flower]

[fiery wave]

The alt server is 2500 X so, fashion is more on that one. Like an ultra rare thing is on a 25% drop rate.

[tender horizon]

I'm willing to bet you don't even know what the rare spawns are in souls vs what you will find on a specified drop location

Which is fine

But you're judging them like everything has a drop rate with the misunderstanding you had to be online to farm them

[fiery wave]

You asked for MMOs, I said I played private because public runs on sub payment.

[tender horizon]

No i didn't

That was Cat

[fiery wave]

Oh, no, just the you PvP or fight one mob for a 5% chance they might drop the thing you need to offer.

Might be higher, might be lower, but yeah.

[tender horizon]

For shit you don't want anyway. Because you don't know what it does. Because the pvp drops outside rare exception are not useful unless you want to pvp more.

Because you will continue judging the games with no basis of actual understanding of them.

[charred furnace]

is warp resistance or defense the dump stat on force sword

[tender horizon]

Idk if this is ragebait or actual ignorance tbqh

[limber zealot]

What are we arguing about

[tender horizon]

Warp res

[tender horizon]

Karien hates souls games but also fundamentally doesn't understand how they work

And it pisses me off

[limber zealot]

What do they not understand

[tender horizon]

Drop rates, online requirements, a couple of other things

[twin flower]

[limber zealot]

I see

What about drop rates exactly?

And I guess online requirements

[twin flower]

Just dance ya know

[prisma cosmos]

I've been having this debate with my brother, maybe people with more lore knowledge want to give their opinion. Just a hypothetical lore debate (to the death)

I think for an end game/final boss, a traitor Spacemarine would be a good boss. My brother says taking a Spacemarine (And considering we're against nurgle, a Plaguemarine) is way beyond the ability of 4 rejects.

But what I'm saying is that maybe as a multi stage boss, using the environment, during multiple missions, it's lore friendly and mechanically interesting.

I get what he says tho. However we both want to know, in the actual lore, have there been instances of a small number (Not necessarily 4) non SM beat a single marine?

[fiery wave]

I should look it up, I just know I got tired trying my luck for something but never seemed to want to drop. Then again, it once took me 1 and a half year to get a 2.5% drop grinding at least 4 hours a day.

[tender horizon]

They don't seem to understand that outside of ds2 you have no obligation to play online and have previously stated that they need to be online to have better farm rates which is a fundamental misunderstanding of how DS1 humanity works

[tender horizon]

In what

[limber zealot]

The rejects could definitely kill a random unnamed CSM

[lethal solstice]

We would dunk a marine so incredibly hard

[limber zealot]

We kill daemonhosts on the regular

And just nurgle daemons in general

[fiery wave]

I used to play AQW. You then need to find a whale to turn in that 2.5% drop for the weapons.

[lethal solstice]

But marines are also not good for non marine plots

[prisma cosmos]

Damn... everyone is so ready to take on a freaking plague marine 🤣

[lethal solstice]

And the game won't get one because the devs don't want to add them

[limber zealot]

A plague ogryn would beat the piss out of a normal marine

[limber zealot]

No I think we'd get owned by a plague marine tbh

[prisma cosmos]

Honestly one thing that I REALLY love about DT is that it's NOT ABOUT THE FREAKING MARINES

IM TIRED OF SEEING MARINES EVERYWHERE

[tender horizon]

Alright, I don't play mmos. I do play souls games, I have since I was a wee little lad and ik they don't do that to you.

[limber zealot]

You and everyone who isn't a marines fan

[rocky radish]

I prefer playing underdogs than a power fantasy

[prisma cosmos]

(Also why can't I use emoji reactions??)

[fiery wave]

I literally had a build where I just had to just hit 1 to target the boss and 3 to lifesteal.

[prisma cosmos]

IKR

GTFO with that coward armor.

[lethal solstice]

But for rejects vs a marine it wouldn't even be funny
Veteran with plasma, power sword, and kraks
Zealot with thunder hammer or relic blade and shroudfield
Psyker
Ogryn

[trail bramble]

you need the role that makes your name red, chat a bit more and it'll be given to you automatically

[twin flower]

FS already mentioned there wont be Spaace marines of any kind

[prisma cosmos]

Tnx friend.

[twin flower]

Afaik that is

[limber zealot]

Both can be cool but power fantasy doesn't really work for this type of game

[fiery wave]

Cos it took me so long I started to have to solo.

[limber zealot]

Btw speaking of underdogs is GTFO fun?

[prisma cosmos]

Ok that's actually good.

Ngl I'd LOVE to see their art team make and AMAZING bloated plague marine, but it's a slippery slope. Add one marine and it becomes yet another SM game.

[rocky radish]

Exactly. A space marine would be such a weird addition

[limber zealot]

Me and some friends are gonna try it out tomorrow

[lusty estuary]

I love GTFO

it's a bit of a bull buster sometimes but it's a pretty good co-op game

[fiery wave]

Well, I would hope not. Not fun searching for someone who bought the real money pet to turn it in.

[trail bramble]

Jurgen and Cain have taken down multiple CSMs
I think in the Gaunt books they've also won a 1v4

[prisma cosmos]

It's more of a wishful thinking at this point

The art is so great that I wans to see FS make EVERYTHING 40K (And bring Jasper along)

[twin flower]

Yep, that was their exact reasoning as well iirc

[limber zealot]

Ok but that's Cain tho

He's the goat

He fails upwards

[lusty estuary]

it's an incredibly slow game but like in a way that's good since you'll be spending the vast majority of it tense hoping either you or your friends don't fuck up and wake up a freak

[twin flower]

Would be sick to even just see one tho

dont have to outright fight it maybe

but yeah its unlikely

[prisma cosmos]

Yea those are extraordinary.

I mean if we're 100% lore accurate the presence of a plaguemarine gives you 100 unkown STDs

[tender horizon]

I play mmos specifically when someone asks me to but they're not a genre I seek out of my own volition post swtors swan song tbqh.

[trail bramble]

we can't fight a csm, but we could fight 18 nurglings stuffed into death guard armour

[twin flower]

Space Aids

[limber zealot]

I wouldn't hate to see a CSM in this game as I'm sure FS could make it rad as fuck but it's definitely not a necessary addition

[twin flower]

Lmao

[limber zealot]

I'd rather see a Sentinel be added as a boss than a CSM

[lethal solstice]

So would being near a plague ogryn, a beast of nurgle, or the straight up plague tree

[limber zealot]

That'd be funny for a Halloween event

[rocky radish]

I don't know anything about WH40K lore, but I would love to see a map where the boss is too powerful to defeat, and the goal is to do tasks while trying to escape certain death in different ways

[limber zealot]

That's cool

[prisma cosmos]

True.

I was thinking if they give the VT treatment, maybe in a few years (half a decade) as a super hard event or something

(Again, wishful thinking just want to see FS do their magic)

[twin flower]

Get'd Hadron'd

[prisma cosmos]

True.

And the poxwalkers themselves even.

[fiery wave]

I still wouldn't for most part unless they are paying the subs. F2P usually feel like ass to encourage whaling.

[lethal solstice]

Read the final encounter of the Darktide supplement for Wrath and Glory

[twin flower]

Yea theoritcally shouldnt even be able to get near a burgle lorewise

[limber zealot]

That could be cool

[twin flower]

but here we are

[trail bramble]

I'd love to see a possessed combat servitor miniboss and a chaos psyker boss

[limber zealot]

Idk what it'd be tho

[lusty estuary]

we absolutely could kill a CSM without it really being that much of a stretch and fat shark absolutely could design an interesting boss around it but we already know that's not something they're going to do and i find it hard to see how it'd fit into the narrative

[trail bramble]

also, psyker specials and elites

[limber zealot]

Maybe the leader of the cult of admonition

[lusty estuary]

if anything us just fighting a more powerful daemon of nurgle later down the line makes more sense

[jaunty path]

Not an STD if its not sexually transmitted

[tender horizon]

I completely agree with you, in the case f2p is even the option for most of them.

[jaunty path]

[limber zealot]

I've wanted this for awhile

[lusty estuary]

one plaguebearer

[limber zealot]

Honestly a new psyker class could be cool too

[lethal solstice]

Nope

[prisma cosmos]

That's exactly what I was thinking

Like the train mission (The train mission is AMAZING)

Plague Marines are slow af. So maybe you gotta escape from him in a couple of missions, then idk do a few missions to set up your defences, and then in sort of a "wave defence" missions you defeat him

[lethal solstice]

Nuh uh

[limber zealot]

Have them be a biomancer who works for the inquisition like Heinrix

[lethal solstice]

Please no

[twin flower]

A blank maybe?

[lethal solstice]

Not another psyker

[twin flower]

But why another psyker tho

[jaunty path]

Idea

Psyker

but balanced

[fiery wave]

And privates are becoming harder to find since you know you need the server portion to host and is usually for only a few if they aren't C&D or sued off the net.

[twin flower]

Terrible idea

[limber zealot]

Guy who hates fun award

[twin flower]

[lusty estuary]

nurgle fart tornado GOOOO

[wintry steeple]

psyker with a dog

[prisma cosmos]

Nurgle's love is transmitted via scent and sight. You obviously don't know how love works

[lusty estuary]

THROW THE REJECTS OFF THE EDGE OF THE MAP GO GO GO GO

[limber zealot]

Because I like the idea of playing as a biomancer

[lethal solstice]

Psyker is the vessel for almost every balance problem in the entire game

[limber zealot]

Yeah and they're fun

[twin flower]

biomancer?

[lethal solstice]

And if you want biomancy just ask for Iron Arm as a melee weapon

Cause it'd be funny

[limber zealot]

They're like blood benders if you've seen ATLA

They can fuck with your body

[lethal solstice]

Show an ogryn what an actual fist fight looks like

[limber zealot]

Make your eyes melt and shit

[twin flower]

We have those in 40k?

[fiery wave]

Some are obvious limited lvl trials. Some are just, you need to pay to upgrade past a point which you need to or you do peashooter damage.

[twin flower]

[prisma cosmos]

Meh who cares about fun in PVE. Imo it does not matter. make everyone OP

[limber zealot]

Burn off your nerve endings

Funny shit

[limber zealot]

Yeah

There's one in RT

[lethal solstice]

It matters because if you steamroll everything suddenly the game isn't very enjoyable

[twin flower]

Never played RT

Not properly at least

[quaint moss]

they were getting on my nerves

[lusty estuary]

biomancers are more bio energy than blood

[limber zealot]

I wanna play like the necromancer from Diablo 3 and blow up corpses to use as weapons

[lethal solstice]

If i wanted to wipe everything with a look I would go play Warframe

[lusty estuary]

but it kind of depends

[lethal solstice]

I want to actually be challenged by Darktide

[lusty estuary]

the average biomancer is just a really bored tzimisce

[lethal solstice]

Its what makes it fun for me

[prisma cosmos]

Well, true.

But isn't it why they added the end game difficult levels (Idk I still struggle with difficulty 4 I'm trash)

[quaint moss]

i need to get back to playing warframe

[arctic shoal]

Inf cleave, check
Absurdly power crept, check
It really is only missing piss toughness for trifecta

[fiery wave]

Depends on person. Some like a challenge, others just want powerfantasy on all diffs.

[jaunty path]

These are arbitrator mains catachan, it's a lost cause

[limber zealot]

There's 8 unvaulted prime frames rn

For about a month

[prisma cosmos]

Also for next DLC ratlings would be fun.

Or some other abhumans.

[quaint moss]

i know, i just cant get myself to play

[limber zealot]

Ratlings will never happen but I agree on abhumans

[arctic shoal]

Appealing to I must be broken in the hardest difficulty folk will lead to another hd2 situation where those of us who enjoy challenge will be pushes away

[lethal solstice]

Ratlings are an explicit no

[lusty estuary]

i just want the beastmen back in 40k

[fiery wave]

Some still want harder. Is why we get abdolute bs modifiers now.

[lethal solstice]

Too short

[prisma cosmos]

Why not? Has FS said so? Or any lore reasons?

[limber zealot]

FS said so

[lusty estuary]

fat shark doesn't wanna do short characters

[limber zealot]

Also ratlings are rare

[prisma cosmos]

How so?

[limber zealot]

Height problems

[lusty estuary]

well the rarity of an abhuman doesn't have to factor into it

[lethal solstice]

Too short

[limber zealot]

The maps aren't designed around small characters

[prisma cosmos]

Aaahhh

Short. Right. Makes sense

[lethal solstice]

Look at all the 3 foot railings and crate piles

And imagine playing in that space

As a sniper

Who can't see over the railings

[lusty estuary]

not a problem

[prisma cosmos]

I remember a video about how difficult it was basically remaking everything for Ogryns.

[limber zealot]

Suppose not

[lusty estuary]

ratling on stilts

[jaunty path]

Look at the crusher

how the fuck are you fighting crusher

[twin flower]

ratlings on heels

[prisma cosmos]

Two ratlings in a trench coat then

[fiery wave]

Oh, I get it. Just explaining. Most avg ppl just want to win everything. Some even live on a winning is the only thing that matters.

[lusty estuary]

longlas go through carapace

[quaint moss]

this

[lusty estuary]

shoot crusher in brain crusher fall over crusher flatten ratling into pancake

[quaint moss]

pancake mmmmm

[limber zealot]

The humble Las Fusil:

[prisma cosmos]

I want a tiny bit of challenge, but I just wanna stomp heretics with Bros mindlessly

[lethal solstice]

Ratlings also aren't known for their shining skill in melee

[limber zealot]

This game is totally mindless for me atp

I can just play it on autopilot

[fiery wave]

And that's malice in a nutshell... or havoc 1-10.

[wintry steeple]

ratling qte where you climb up the back of a crusher and defeat each limb's health bar individually before doing a necksnap

[lusty estuary]

ratlings are known for being 'good' cooks though so i think a ratling with a meat cleaver and a dream would be fine

[prisma cosmos]

Since I only play with one other person (My brother) we can play mindless up until Heresy.

[limber zealot]

Me and my friend will bullshit about power scaling while playing it

[quaint moss]

only slightly cuts back in for trappers

[fiery wave]

So heresy and havoc 11 to 15.

[limber zealot]

I can play mindlessly in auric

[lethal solstice]

Its 11-20

[limber zealot]

I have like 30 days of play time between this and VT2

[prisma cosmos]

Have not played havoc

I got the game when it came out. But we just started playing regularly recently

[limber zealot]

It's engrained into my mind

[fiery wave]

Yes, but they want a slight challenge. 11 is diff 4 ++.

[quaint moss]

fatshack would never >: , unless they are planning on suprising me

oh shit its my birthday

[limber zealot]

Havoc low-key is not fun imo

[limber zealot]

Happy 68th birthday bro

[lusty estuary]

my body has been trained to play this game without me actually having to divert much brain power to it

[prisma cosmos]

Too grindy?

[quaint moss]

one more year... one more and ill be perfect

[arctic shoal]

Havoc would be fun if we didn't have bullcrap keystone modifiers and we chose our experience

Like Deeds in vt2

Rotten armor is bad

[fiery wave]

Maybe past might be a little too hard? I dunno. Just not 21+ anyway.

[limber zealot]

My brain is used so little when playing this game I can take shrooms and smoke fat drinks and still play at an acceptable level

It's automatic

[lusty estuary]

the only time i have to think is if i'm the only one left alive and it's like even then

[quaint moss]

my last auric maelstorm i was eating a sammich while playing ogryn

[fiery wave]

BS modifiers while being gimped and enemies buffed.

[prisma cosmos]

Ah

[lusty estuary]

havoc is just kind of restrictive with what builds actually work within it

[limber zealot]

That and it's just not fun to get good at it

[lethal solstice]

Players when the intentionally super hard difficulty is super hard

[fiery wave]

Totally not a power fantasy if you are looking for that.

[lusty estuary]

depending on the modifiers you're railroaded into playing a few kinda boring setups

[limber zealot]

I understand that

I'm just saying I don't think it's fun

[drowsy prawn]

based, it is a meditative process 😌

[lethal solstice]

Yeah thats fine

[prisma cosmos]

🤣 Yea people generally want to complete/do everything.

Not me tho. But I get it

[vapid verge]

I like how the moment someone gets netted, a flamer just magically appears

[quaint moss]

booted up the game, and thought for a second they added a space marine

[lethal solstice]

I just like making fun of people who complain about havoc being bs or unfair

[fiery wave]

The worst part is forced builds unless you are the top 0.001%.

[lusty estuary]

that's a fat shark employee taking control of the game director to fuck you over it happens

[prisma cosmos]

I get it
I'm too old to care about checking what the meta is and how to cheese
I just want to pick whatever looks cool and play

[lusty estuary]

fat shark doesn't release very many updates because 80% of their corporate budget goes towards a staff of a few thousand people who watch over games and decide at random to fuck them over

[limber zealot]

Yeah I feel the same way about basically every game I play

[prisma cosmos]

Netters and hounds together. Run enders

[limber zealot]

If a fight or game mode requires a fuck ton of optimizing then it isn't for me

I hate being a meta slave

I'm not old tho

[prisma cosmos]

The days of reading guides and grinding are so over for me

[fiery wave]

Honestly? Just do 1x 25 and mess around in lower havocs for the other parts of the outfit. Not worth the stress to most.

[quaint moss]

its magical like a unicorn

[limber zealot]

Well that's still around for me cause I play Warframe

[drowsy prawn]

depends entirely on your skill lvl, no meta slaving needed https://youtu.be/xoNUZjyFuOM 😌

[prisma cosmos]

Exactly.

Altho since it's only me (Vet) and brother (ogryn) sometimes it's difficult to deal with AI or some... less than ideal randoms.

But yea. CompStomp for fun (And wanna hug Ogryn when he says SORRY SAAAAAH)

[frank bear]

Maaaan did the oberon rework killed any interest i had left for warframe, that passive is so boring

[limber zealot]

About 5 minutes ago I also said that I don't like the game mode enough to get good at it

[tender horizon]

Players when the intentionally super hard difficulty is literally crashing the game cause fs doesn't know how to make modifiers function on their own engine

[drowsy prawn]

THE STARE 😱

[quaint moss]

"meta this, meta that, have you ever meta bitch before"

[fiery wave]

Well, the top players can do whatever. The avg are pushed to more meta builds.

[arctic shoal]

I still rather choose what modifiers to play rather than the crap we got

Let me tailor my suffering Fatshark

[limber zealot]

I'm sure I could get good enough to play it but I just don't want to dedicate that time to it

[prisma cosmos]

I tried playing WF like 4 times. Since it came out long ago... never managed. AMAZING gameplay but holy shit it's complicated.

[drowsy prawn]

that is true

[lethal solstice]

Ok actual technical issues is fair game but thats a more recent development

[tender horizon]

I've played a few mmos but I don't think I've been required to pay to not do that, idk. Wildstar, Swtor, WoW mainly.

[lethal solstice]

(For this time)

[fiery wave]

It happens. The bots are... kinda challenged.

[lusty estuary]

it would be incredibly funny to be able to select your modifiers like hive busters on gears 5

[limber zealot]

Yeah it's a very confusing game if you don't have an experienced friend to help you out

[prisma cosmos]

Yea and withouth a Zealot and Psycher it's difficult

[lusty estuary]

turn everything on

[lethal solstice]

Just open your lobby if you're having trouble

[prisma cosmos]

Yea. But more importantly, patience and dedication. In my early 20s maybe. Now? Nah

[quaint moss]

honestly, probably after i get every classed mastered, i might go back to the frame. it has a lot more replayability

[limber zealot]

Definitely need that too

I have 1000 hours on it over the course of 6 years

[fiery wave]

Oh, those are 'F2P' types. You have to sub or pay or risk breaking hard to grind and upgrade gear or they lock the later upgraders behind the sub wall.

[limber zealot]

What'd they change?

I never really played Oberon

I have his prime but I never use it

[honest hemlock]

I looking for a team for this achievement On Overwatch
As the Sharpshooter, complete a Mission on Malice Threat or higher without taking any

Someone pls help lol

[tender horizon]

WoW requires money, swtor really would prefer it if you pay them or you suffer ime. Wildstar is simply dead lol.

[lusty estuary]

#vox-lfg-lexicanum

[fiery wave]

Not really, but I can see why anyway. Overwhelmed while bots hit for nothing.

[fiery wave]

No, as in the paywalled upgrade thing.

[tender horizon]

Artificer gear iirc?

[fiery wave]

You find those in Chinesium MMOs.

[tender horizon]

Yeah no, I don't play those for a reason lol

[prisma cosmos]

And in some bosses (The Twins) bots dont even spawn in

[astral basin]

Imma. Nightreign
Do some deeps
When i get home
If some sumbitch dont drag me elsewhere

[fiery wave]

I know, just know they are like that lul.

[fiery wave]

Cos the lift cutscene breaks them or so.

[tender horizon]

Good luck

[astral basin]

I say ill do deeps
Ill probably do gladius on nun
Hope i dont get lobotomites

[tender horizon]

I think i finished every everdark boss earlier today

[frank bear]

All 4 of his main abilities got huge buffs and changes that makes him into a better armor sharing chad

BUT THE PASSIVE CONFLICTS WITH 2/4 OF HIS KIST

What it does: on health orb pickup, You and allies in affinity range gain a stack of "Rigtheous negation" up to 3 stacks, you have Immunity (Your entire health & shield go gray) for the next 3 attacks, its quite literally just mesmer skin and that shit is not hard to keep at max stacks

Whats the point of all this armor sharing and healing if you're gonna be immune to damage anyways????

[iron plover]

So...does anyone regularly play Malice and Heresy? I'm not much for the higher difficulties. I'm more in it for the 40k power fantasy and to chill and hang

[twin dirge]

I play heresy :D

[quaint moss]

ight gaming time

[quaint moss]

peak, love that game

[lusty estuary]

no

[fiery wave]

I mean, am bottom barrel heresy player.

[quaint moss]

STILL TRYING THE 3 HEADED DOG EVERDARK ;-;

[iron plover]

saaaame

[lusty estuary]

shaking my head...

atoma literally needs you to play on auric

[iron plover]

hey, you know, you don't have to be that person. If it doesn't apply to you.....you can just not be that basement troll

[fiery wave]

Shush, they don't need to know I play that and damns.

[twin dirge]

Me fr, I kiss the floor more often than I traverse it

[quaint moss]

yo krall?

[astral basin]

Aki plays heresy until his pit stained squadmates start tryna force us through damns w modifiers

[fiery wave]

I just get lost chasing loot everywhere.

[lusty estuary]

i'm just shaking my head man

[iron plover]

https://tenor.com/view/jeremy-clarkson-thumbs-up-good-great-approve-gif-4932199

[fiery wave]

So all the time?

[astral basin]

Dont let aki lie
He kisses the floor in darktide far less often than in other games

Then again

Sometimes he brings a trowel and starts shoveling dirt down his gullet

[fiery wave]

Pretty sure your butt kisses the floor a whole lot in this game so...

[astral basin]

Hey! Only when im not playing zeal

…even then

Fkn ragers man…

[fiery wave]

Do you not do it on zealot to avoid shots?

[astral basin]

Avoid shots?

Oh. Butt. Slides

Please

[twin dirge]

No that was me, I wanted to go to damn

[fiery wave]

What were you thinking?

[lusty estuary]

all i do in this game is slide i cant walk i cant run i just slide

[astral basin]

You confuse me for a person that knows what an ability active is

[twin dirge]

I don't slide, dodge, block, or jump

I rely purely on raw position

[iron plover]

Welp...time to see if the Dregs are still flammable

[fiery wave]

So open to ragers rushing in?

[twin dirge]

You're supposed to shoot them before they rush you

[astral basin]

I can say that i started dodging
Mostly bc playing vet was. Horrifying. When the autogun goes pew pew rather than ratatata

[twin dirge]

I don't play zealot so I'm used to being this killable

I never got used to being made of mobeian steel

[astral basin]

Moebian steel my ass

More like

[lusty estuary]

papier mache

[astral basin]

Tin foil rather than cling wrap

Actually the other way around

Tin foil is pretty damn fragile

And ceran wrap at least REQUIRES a blade to rip

[fiery wave]

Stealth ragers. Thanks broken sound system.

[lusty estuary]

one of these days they'll fix whatever engine limitation causes sounds to just not play

until then we're forced to play the grittier, more realistic darktide where the crusher walks on his tiptoes right up behind you to flatten you

[fiery wave]

That's arby.

[astral basin]

Man was confident
I said “im here to suffer”
Boy howdy i was showed a horrible time

[fiery wave]

You mean, a silent pack. Then you notice 5 hammers.

And then you down even as Arby.

[lusty estuary]

one crusher is five crushers in darktide math

it's like toilet paper math

[astral basin]

One crusher means 8 ragers means someones not using their damn bullets

[fiery wave]

Except the Desperado scum.

[prisma cypress]

200 songs from 4k liked Spotify songs

[twin dirge]

This is why I just play psyker and chille le le

[lost eagle]

Like in darktide or fatshark development as a whole? that kind of sound issue isn't the one that likes to go away lol

[lusty estuary]

the latter

fat shark would probably develop any future games in a different engine so it'd stop being a problem

in the case of darktide we just have to believe really hard that something will happen because something always happens

[fiery wave]

Will be funny if they just modded it again and kept using it.

[next iris]

what's a silent pack?

[fiery wave]

Even when DT is literally straining the engine to hell.

[fiery wave]

Stealth crusherS.

Multiple crushers.

[next iris]

But has indicators

[lost eagle]

It used to be worse, I still push bursters solely on reaction to their kamikaze sound

[arctic shoal]

Push bursters into teamates

[faint charm]

New enemy idea : walker

They wear carapace armor and just walks around

[lusty estuary]

what was that i didn't understand you did you say shoot the barrel next to the guy closest to the edge

[lost eagle]

If your alreadying moving into the burster and the only way to survive the blast is to push them backwards, yes...

[lusty estuary]

that's terrifying never say that again

[faint charm]

New enemy idea : hexxer

They shoot magic beam that flips your whole control reverse

[lusty estuary]

new enemy idea: doug walker

[fiery wave]

Doing nothing but stop cleave?

[faint charm]

Yeah kinda

Very strong meatshield

[lost eagle]

that sounds like scab captains honestly

[jaunty path]

rot horde

rot horde

[faint charm]

Since fatshark seems to love rotten armor bullet sponge shit

[limber zealot]

Booted up DS2 and that shit crashed immediately

God doesn't want me to play it

[fiery wave]

That can still hurt at times. Or you have enough ping you can't block or parry in time.

[lost eagle]

Sword captains that deal damage just by walking at you

[fiery wave]

I need to be blocking when the warning plays or I just get hit.

[faint charm]

New enemy idea : talker

Equipped with nurgle blessed wireless speaker. Runs around randomly and play random specialist/elite sounds

[fiery wave]

I already have @versed roost trying to spook me with the Chainaxe.

[faint charm]

Yeah but like also makes burster beeping sound

And can climb wall and shit

[fiery wave]

It's not working cos maulers are silent half the time. >_>

[faint charm]

Sometimes also makes VT2 rat sounds just to fuck you up

[lusty estuary]

new enemy idea the trapper it traps you with some kind of net

[faint charm]

Its not new

[fiery wave]

They already multiplied the bitch trapper by 3.

[lusty estuary]

what

[faint charm]

New enemy idea : robber

Robs your curio

[lusty estuary]

darktide needs kuva liches
