[rain pilot]

I know I will be alone

My madness gets worse each day and I know my sense of self will be lost

[fiery wave]

I just RPG games, be the MC everyone loves. Heh.

[delicate vapor]

Pre heresy

Or

Heresy

[sleek harness]

Both

Both is good

[azure cobalt]

I like both

[dire kayak]

i like thousand sons

post heresy

[rain pilot]

I carry my cross for the sins I done and people keep coming to me for wisdom.

I learned that wisdom comes mostly from pain

[sleek harness]

The dust people

[delicate vapor]

i mean for your bulwark

[sleek harness]

You like sniffing them or something?

[dire kayak]

i need to figure out how to eat depression

[azure cobalt]

Do people still use Molotoves in 40k?

[sleek harness]

Can't really be post heresy Death Guard in PvE

Pre heresy Death Guard I can get closer

Also can I show you my drip?

[rain pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/no-im-not-human-cat-gif-10798736230298585701

[dire kayak]

show me too

[sleek harness]

Alright

[delicate vapor]

yea

and you WILL invite me to play

ive already maxed prestige everyone so im just on standby

[sleek harness]

I have Tactical, Assault, Bulwark and Heavy as pre heresy Death Guard

[delicate vapor]

mines world eaters

it matches my steam name

sorta

[fiery wave]

Suffering, you mean? Teaches you in a way... even if it may still be wrong.

[fiery wave]

You mean nuke it.

[rain pilot]

they mean eat

[delicate vapor]

pre good

[dire kayak]

id take everyone's sadness onto myself without hesitation if it meant the people i love most got to be happy

[rain pilot]

I wouldn't

[fiery wave]

My sadness makes me who I am in a way.

[rain pilot]

Without the bitterness of sadness we wouldn't truly know how sweet joy is

[fiery wave]

Just some are skewed more to the former.

And the latter just slows the spiral downwards.

[azure cobalt]

I need to show my loadout whenever I get the chance

[fiery wave]

To traumatise people or just be, am meta player.

[sleek harness]

No

Just now I am answering that

Was busy taking pics

[azure cobalt]

No its an Ok build

For my veteran

[delicate vapor]

you will

[sleek harness]

Nah

[rain pilot]

True enough

[obtuse oak]

Ma'am this is a videogame server general chat

[fiery wave]

Said a little too much, I guess? Did try not to go too deep into it. It's something that happened anyway.

[south valve]

I feel like worse/more personal things have been said here

at least from my very limited experience

[tired inlet]

okay that was a wild thing to click on

didn't expect the conversation to go there

but whatever pays the bills, y'know?

[inner nimbus]

holy TMI

[modest flume]

I GIIIVE MY LIIIIIFE, NOT FOR HONOOOOR BUT FOR YOOOOOUUUUU

[fiery wave]

You mean, luxury.

If I relied on it to pay the bills, I'll have starved to death.

[tired inlet]

this person's dream is to be a Sin Eater

[south valve]

Hot take: the sin eater's design is goofy

if we're talking TC

[tired inlet]

A Sin Eater was a real thing

[south valve]

Nevermind then

[fiery wave]

It's also a religious thing, someone to eat the sins of others as like a scapegoat, except they do it willingly for reasons.

[south valve]

So they go to hell instead or something?

[fiery wave]

They take the pains and suffering of others and suffer the punishments for them at the end. Usually because they carry guilt for something. And usually what sins they take relates to the guilt they have.

[south valve]

Interesting

is this still a thing that exists today?

I thought it sounded medieval at first

[fiery wave]

Wouldn't know really. All I know it's something from religion history.

[south valve]

Ah okay

what religion though?

or religions

[delicate vapor]

styare

[dire kayak]

meow

[shy sandal]

Maybe it's because I'm a fine arts major, but i can tell to you, that was pretty tame compared to stuff we studied. It's just a bit of taboo to talk about sexual topics

[fiery wave]

Honestly, anything with a 'hell' of sorts and the ability to shunt off sins. Is best to not delve too deep into it or maybe look it up on your own time. I just know cos I used to have a char who was groomed to act like that... Just because she is undying in a way and can take sins and actual suffering without anything more than mental scarring.

[south valve]

Oh I see

that's very interesting

I thought you meant like DnD character then remembered you're a writer

[fiery wave]

To be nothing more than an actual scapegoat in the spiritual sense.

[shy sandal]

Anyways good morning people

[south valve]

Hello

[fiery wave]

In a way. Such chars aren't quite RP chars after all. Just something a really depressed side would write.

[south valve]

Because it reflects something in their own life?

[fiery wave]

Best way to put it... She's one of the chars I had after failing to sleep forever... Questioning if the only reason I'm alive was just to suffer.

[south valve]

I see

[rancid shore]

Sup tiders

The recaf at my workplace sucks

[fiery wave]

One of the other was more... body horror in sense. Just a girl whose blood heals and flesh recovers and rejuvenates, being butchered up because she'll regenerate over time to feed the greedy and powerful.

[rancid shore]

I want to commit carnage upon the heretics in the name of the emperor for that

[south valve]

Do you still feel that way, if I may ask?

[dire kayak]

literally me

[south valve]

Ooo that's creative

[fiery wave]

Now? Not really. Just take a day at a time. Writing smut for fun. There are days it dips low enough, but... It tends to be more... stable now.

[south valve]

and I think I see the message

[south valve]

That's good to hear

[dire kayak]

i just did the basecoat for my norn emissary

[south valve]

and they say time heals all wounds, so I'm hope you get even better

[south valve]

How's it looking?

[fiery wave]

People take bits out of you to enrich themselves, but you still heal through it if you want to live and go on.

[dire kayak]

pretty alright, but still just the basecoat
im gonna do the scale stuff next, then the brain, then the open parts on the skin

[fiery wave]

If you are asking bluntly.

[dire kayak]

hugs you

[south valve]

Ohhh right

[fiery wave]

Is fine. Just taking meaning about old chars. Is also how working for others be like in a way. If you don't take it literally.

[south valve]

I thought it was something anti-capitalist or something tbh

yours is way less generic

[south valve]

[fiery wave]

Is generic. In the, all encompassing kinda way.

Is just, there are always those kind of people that are only happy when others suffer, you know?

[south valve]

Yeah

sadists

[fiery wave]

So they will shred people just to feel good about themselves.

[south valve]

and bullies and stuff

[fiery wave]

And many rich and powerful people have some level of it.

Some more directly than others, most being the indirect sort where they'll watch others suffer just to have more and more.

[shell creek]

Any blessing recommendations for the braced autogun?

[fiery wave]

Throwing it into the bin and using Inf auto. Lul.

[shell creek]

I actually used the infantry one previously. I'm liking the braced more so far

[ember nimbus]

deathspitter and dum dum

if you wanna go spicy use stripped down

[fiery wave]

Then you can try Deathspitter and Fire Frenzy.

[shell creek]

Got it, thx guys

[ember nimbus]

karien is 100% right tho

braced autogun is just worse

than the infantry autogun

and that one is already leagues behind in the current patch

[fiery wave]

Though you might need to shoot hordes to ramp it up since... Braced isn't exactly good.

[fiery wave]

No, Vraks is still best DPS gun... Just VERY ammo hungry.

[sleek harness]

No bullet guns are good

They need buff

[ember nimbus]

vraks is fine

but the other 2 are terrible

[fiery wave]

Like, UNGODLY eldritch horror lvls of hungry.

[ember nimbus]

not even speaking of the braced autoguns

[sleek harness]

Like Fear and Hunger?

[ember nimbus]

i dont even know what niche they are supposed to fill right now

[sleek harness]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh less ammo and less damage

Compared to las weapons

[fiery wave]

Braced don't have Dum Dum btw, last I checked.

[shell creek]

I might go back to the vraks later but my previous inf auto gun was pretty low leveled, so if I switch back I'd rather wait till I can get a better one

[ember nimbus]

yeah i was thinking of IAGs

you know

the VIABLE autoguns

[south valve]

Scary and Hungry

[fiery wave]

Vigilant is usable though.

[shell creek]

I read online that raking fire is good on the inf autogun

[fiery wave]

Vet only and if you are ungodly good with headshots.

[ember nimbus]

deathspitter and fire frenzy should be the way to go if you arent running stripped down

i wish vigilant autoguns were good

i love dmrs in videogames

[fiery wave]

Burst fire one only, last I checked.

Not top tier, but usable.

[rain pilot]

I like it om Arbities

[tender horizon]

They are

[rain pilot]

Cat

[tender horizon]

3 round burst is iirc one of vets best weapons

[tender horizon]

Yeah

[rain pilot]

Good cat

[tender horizon]

Yeah, she really was.

[rancid shore]

What are the vigilant auto guns really?

[shell creek]

What perks do you guys recommend for the vraks infantry autogun?

I'm guessing something for armored enemies?

[fiery wave]

Dum Dum Deathspitter.

[shell creek]

Those are blessings

Perks are different

There's one that does +15% more dmg to flak enemies

For example

[fiery wave]

Oh, Flak maniac works.

[patent grove]

Wait, really?

[shell creek]

Ty

[fiery wave]

You still don't wanna shoot crushers with it.

[tender horizon]

Path thinks so iirc and I trust that guy

[fiery wave]

And you shoot maulers and plasmas in the crotch anyway.

[patent grove]

Path?

[fiery wave]

Some say Flak unyielding.

[tender horizon]

Guy who wrote the vet guide

Path.exe

[fiery wave]

So you can magdump bosses faster.

[tender horizon]

@digital fulcrum vigi 3rd burst still good?

[cosmic burrow]

its the best one

[fiery wave]

Oh, I should have tagged, Basically pick two out of Flak, Maniac, Unyielding.

[shell creek]

Having a boss melter would be nice. I tend to switch to melee for maniac enemies most of the time anyways

[shell creek]

Got it, ty

[fiery wave]

To be fair, maniac is for shooting bitches trappers and certain things like Dreg ragers.

But for most parts, they die fast enough so... Best test and see which fits better for you.

[tired inlet]

a good chain/power weapon with +carapace/flak does the trick for me

[shell creek]

You think I can get some decent boss dmg without unyielding?

[fiery wave]

It still is one of the best even without imo.

But like I said, try both, is cheap to swap. Then go with what feels better.

[tired inlet]

solo bosses don't stay up long enough to matter with 4 rejects beating on them.

[peak geyser]

Be me, thinking of progressing Maelstrom Survivor, Look Map. Clandestium Gloriana

[fiery wave]

Unyielding also helps with reapers and bulwarks, if you shoot their butts.

[tired inlet]

if you're in a high havoc with 3+ bosses at the same time, then I guess so, but I wouldn't think it'd be worth the perk regardless

"That ass is unyielding babe"

[south valve]

[fiery wave]

I guess you could also shoot the bulwark's head since you are behind them.

[fiery wave]

Or Fatshark decided... LET'S DO AN EVENT WITH MULTIPLE WEAKENED OR NOT BOSSES. IT'LL BE FUN FOR THE PLAYERS.

Don't remind me. Some idiot set off a shrine during a boss and then someone poked the DH.

[feral vessel]

coordinated attack

Inquisitor, he was a heretic traitor.

[dire kayak]

meow

[oak nexus]

[clever torrent]

ive been gone all weekend. what's the consensus on the new event?

[dire kayak]

AAAAAAUUUGGGHHHH

[fiery wave]

Do you like 10+ congaline of bursters?

You get 7~ on uprising.

Every 45 secs.

[lilac crag]

waves of bursters

[tired inlet]

It's fun if you're a veteran with bolter/plasma + kraks, or a thunderhammerin' zealot or a branx pickin' ogryn with a mekkakrak or scummer with a crowbar and a rocket launcher. Arbites and Psyker have it a little harder (purgatus+brain burst can help, as can the shock collar/mine + sniper shotgun)

[dire kayak]

so basically

play meta or suffer

[tired inlet]

I expected ogryns but I didn't know there'd be that many

Eh, I don't really run bolter/plasma gun

[fiery wave]

I run krak 'nadier+Bistol funny.

[tired inlet]

you just gotta have a loadout to deal with the possibility that ogryns will outnumber specials/elites

[clever torrent]

y'all notice the bursters are acting diffrent too? my melee pushes aren't working on them sometimes

[fiery wave]

They literally will.

[tired inlet]

you might have a desynch

from whoever the host is

[clever torrent]

it hasn't happened til now which is why im curious if anyone else has been having that problem

[fiery wave]

That's on FS. Feel like they fucked it up badly. Gotta shoot them from afar now.

[tired inlet]

Something I learned 20 years ago in Team Fortress II (concerning things like spy facestabbing): It doesn't matter what you see on your client, it matters what the server sees.

I've been pounced by pox hounds where I've been absolutely certain I've pushed them before; even seen the animation play out, but due to a lag spike or a desynch, the server got the pounce in before my inputs, so that race condition means I'm pinned.

[rocky ocean]

how long have it been since last time darktide went on sale on microsoft store 🥀

[tired inlet]

is the microsoft store what X-Box live users use?

[clever torrent]

yeah desync is somethng im used to but this seems to be event specific

[rocky ocean]

the one that have game pass for pc

[dire kayak]

i ate the sales

buurrp

[tired inlet]

was it up when hive scum came out 4-5 months ago?

[rocky ocean]

not sure, I didnt check at the time. but Ive been checking since black friday

play 1.3k hours on game pass when it was still a good deal. now i'm waiting for a sale to buy the game instead of renting it

[thick fog]

Often happens because they are targetting on someone else

And often ignore you

Had that happen when i pushing one from the spawn door but it was going for a teammate

[thick fog]

This guy rented a videogame 🫵

[formal mortar]

My favorite is when the pox burster doesnt leap and just explodes with no warning sounds

And nobody killed it

[south valve]

Gotta love when it's behind a horde so you can't push it

[south valve]

Good sticker

[jaunty path]

Trolursters

[formal mortar]

This is how I lost a quest item in Mewgenics

[dire kayak]

this is literally me

[tired inlet]

so discord goes down in 80 minutes; let's go

or 20 minutes?

[cosmic burrow]

20

[tired inlet]

localtime, alrighty

[tawny hearth]

lol clicking on this discord for facestabbing spy talk to be the first thing i see

[dire kayak]

when i played tf2 i HATED spies that could do that

i mained medic so you can imagine how much i had to deal with that

[tawny hearth]

lol i mostly played scout so them stabbing me at all was usually my fault

but the rare times i did play spy i basically only went for facestabs, not because i wanted to but i was a really bad spy

[split mauve]

i loved baiting for trickstab and then looking at them with disappointment

the more selfaware usually just kill binded

[tawny hearth]

i did like going pyro and spy checking like crazy tho

[tawny hearth]

the ultimate power move in that situation

[dire kayak]

i hated spies with a burning passion
to the point where i had a sense for them

i just knew whenever one was behind me, cloaked or not, i still don't know how

[tawny hearth]

lol probably just the "i'm in danger" sense where you realize you're a good target for the spy and try to dip before that danger actually happens

you'll see the same thing in games like overwatch, the supports will move before the person trying to kill them presses any buttons simply because the support had that danger tingle

[dire kayak]

hmmm very true

i sucked at medic though, quit the game before i got any good at it

[limpid vigil]

What if other ogryn nades had upgrades?

Id love for the big bomb to regen somehow or get a second one in the bank

[tawny hearth]

i think they could bump the oggy nade up to 2 or 3 and be fine, no regen tho

treat it like scum rocket

[limpid vigil]

Or the nade box to have a couple weaker nades with random effects. Like a smaller vet shredder or zealot molotov and so on

[limpid vigil]

id use it so much if it had something like this

[tawny hearth]

honestly the only class i could play well was scout, i got good enough that i would scrim with tourny teams to help them get ready (this was back before they started adding new weapons tho)

i hard sucked at all the other characters

[dire kayak]

that's so real

i sucked even worse at every class other than medic

the only other class i could reasonably play decently was demoknight

[limpid vigil]

like imagine you can hit a jackpot and it's something like the big ogryn nade , krak nade and molotov all in one throw or you can just get a shredder or a dud

[tawny hearth]

lol well that would be funny and i wouldn't argue against it... isn't the box we have already an upgrade to the box you start with?

to be clear tho i'm super for silly oggy throwables lol

[limpid vigil]

yes it is , i just find it strange that all the grenades just explode when it is the same box other classes refill from and they get stun and smoke or incendiary nades

and the upgrade to it just makes it drop more nades

[paper bluff]

So for the event do I need to specifically click on event missions or can I do them in quickplay?

[tawny hearth]

i think it being the same box is just a quirk of them not wanting to make a second model more than it being the same box in reality

[limpid vigil]

you can join some in quickplay but it is random im pretty sure

[tawny hearth]

quick play is like 100% the event at the moment because people are trying to finish it... but yeah you can qp into it

like 9 of the 10 qp games i had yesterday were all the event

[limpid vigil]

but you gotta admit - gamba ogryn nade sounds like a delightfully stupid thing that makes a beloved build

[tawny hearth]

lol like i said i'm all for silly oggy stuff

[tawny hearth]

it might be better than this today tho

[limpid vigil]

maybe if they buff oggy someday

i hope they do. He has a niche but he just cannot compete with the others

that and the lack of weapons

and the fact some just do not make sense

[tawny hearth]

honestly? if you put me on oggy in a havok 40 my win rate becomes very high, my second and third best classes i can't do nearly well enough at to like help as much as i do on ogryn

so like oggy is kind of ok atm, but theres alot of wepaons that just aren't that good to use yeah

and its basically just because of the hp buff on enemies

[limpid vigil]

i meant it more as - you are forced to use the taunt ability or else you will die

you just can't get enough toughness otherwise or keep said toughness

but yeah guns need a buff

[tawny hearth]

lol honestly they could buff the charge to insta kill everything every time and it would still probably be worse than the taunt

[limpid vigil]

but i am gonna crash out a bit - the ripper gun

named ripper gun

has no way to bleed enemies

normally

[tawny hearth]

lol i don't even like the ripper gun but now i feel bad because its in such an awkward spot where it doesn't have use cases

[limpid vigil]

Imo if you buffed the reload speed on it and made the spread tighter it would be kinda like a burst combat shotty and that sounds fun

[tawny hearth]

but yeah honestly, historically with FS taunts in game i've hated them, i thought they didn't work well and had no value, but they tweaked how their taunts work by a good amount with oggy and i actually like it... and i think it will always stay the best because a circle of CC is overly strong in tide games

[dire kayak]

"im really good with the crowbar!"
loses 70% health to a single rager

[tawny hearth]

yeah it could be saved pretty easy, i think all the oggy stuff is just some tweaks away from being fine again

[limpid vigil]

Me 2 but pls fathsark if not more oggy weapons then add more marks to stuff

id want a sticky nade launcher so bad

[tender horizon]

Had a tauntgryn with shield earlier who kept taunting then immediately dying

That was fun

[limpid vigil]

i know it exists but it only works on other ogryn or monstrosities

or an impact nade launcher

then it would be fine

but rn with the weird donk it does it feels so bad

[tawny hearth]

thats kind of why i like tauntgryn, its like cc but you need to be able to play the game to make use of the cc because half the cc effect is that they are all now wanting a piece of you

[limpid vigil]

honestly if they buff the guns i can see a world where the barrage skill is used

like a flamegryn build with the augment

[feral vessel]

GOOOD EVENING HIVE TERTIUM!
Today's body count was a lowly sixty-six heretics down in Hab Dreyko, with only four loyalist deaths.

[tawny hearth]

honestly you can use PBB just fine but it isn't a gun only build, you have to go like weird hybrid and i dont' think most people will have fun with that

but yeah it would be more than kind of fine with gun buffs

[dire kayak]

haiii

mrrrp :3

[feral vessel]

mrrp

[tawny hearth]

we need to crank up the difficulty to increase those numbers on both ends

really i just want my mk3 shovel to be decent again

[limpid vigil]

yknow - just give the kickback a slug and ogryn sniper would be a build id use

[tawny hearth]

it went from a jack of all trades to a jack of some trades

[limpid vigil]

or a flechette

imagine hyperpropelant oc for the grenade launcher in deep rock

just give oggy that

and id cry tears of joy

[feral vessel]

beanbag or rubber rounds would be funnier

though they wouldn't make much sense

[tawny hearth]

i mean... we already have a bean with the rumbler, half the reason i use it is to blast poxies and stuff in the chest with the bean

[limpid vigil]

id love the kickback if i could influence the way it explodes , like instead of a timer it's either remote or impact nades

rn that gun makes me crash tf out , right after the weirdly named ripper gun

[tawny hearth]

you can change how long the timer is kind of, the harder you hit the bean off something the faster it booms, if you glance it off things longer timer

so like more direct shots onto harder surfaces result in a short timer

[limpid vigil]

yeah but it still bounces and it never explodes when i think it will so i end up wasting shots thinking i killed a group just to find out the bean got flicked in a weird way and did not explode

and i just noticed the innuendo in that statement

crap

[tawny hearth]

you get used to where to aim and which enemies are good to bean directly, alot of times its best to hit the ground hard with it to get reliable booms

[limpid vigil]

rn twin linked heavy stubber is all id ever need

[tawny hearth]

on elites you can hit them in the chest in such a way where it will almost always explode while near their chest still on the bounce

but i take the bleed blessing alot just to confirm those kills tbh... but like... its not the meta blessing

but i mostly use rumbler for the cc and not the damage

[tawny hearth]

i wish i liked the twin links more, i always get hit in the face when going to pull them out because i forget its a big gun

[blazing ibex]

Bursters have been bugged for quite some time now

It's not just the event

[tawny hearth]

i feel like they end up picking the target behind the lead player alot of times and that will make the push not work when they dive at another player sometimes

at least i think thats what i'm seeing happen

[blazing ibex]

Not even that anymore. That's an "intended" behavior (shouldn't be but it is what it is)

Even when it does target you, it simply will not decide to explode if you push it or it just ignores pushes entirely.

[tawny hearth]

yeah its weird that they lock on instead of targeting closest

i've seen the ignoring a few times yeah

[blazing ibex]

It's been like that since Scum update

[tawny hearth]

i also got stuck in a weird laggy tpose moment for like 40 seconds yesterday in a match

[blazing ibex]

I got killed in a havoc yesterday

By an ammo box

[tawny hearth]

like i was stuck forever falling but was on the ground, i couldn't block or attack and ate an overhead while my team was trying to figure out if they should leave me or wait

[blazing ibex]

Because when I dropped it. The game froze me in an animation for a half a second after and I got slammed by a group of poxwalkers.

[south valve]

The heretics are rigging our supplies

[feral vessel]

tzeentchian influence spotted on atoma prime

[tawny hearth]

lol i think that is what happened to me, i wasn't on a drop tho i kind of ramped off a bit of level geometry and just never came down again

[feral vessel]

⚠️

[blazing ibex]

Pretty sure that was some bit of desync

[tawny hearth]

yeah it felt like desync to me

[blazing ibex]

Like the game couldn't acknowledge I wasn't supposed to have the ammo box anymore cuz I dropped it

[tawny hearth]

lol when a computer tries to make 2 things true

random but do people still get the bug where the scum box will get stuck in your hands? i've been getting it even tho i thought the patch notes said they fixed it

[tired inlet]

ration event mk 2

[blazing ibex]

Yes

[south valve]

[feral vessel]

never before was the dt community more split than then

[south valve]

Did it actually have a consequence?

I don't really remember

[feral vessel]

something something ranged buffs vs melee buffs for the duration of the event

then nothing

[tired inlet]

ogryns vs. everyone else

[feral vessel]

ogryns and people with equal IQ numbers, you mean?

[tired inlet]

lifts shift, showing 8-pack See? I'm an Abhuman too!

[limpid vigil]

That venn diagram is a circle

[hidden trout]

i always hated that people thought it was this
ogryns recovering rations means theyre saving them to give away to atoman citizens
it makes more sense for ogryns to destroy them
yknow
with their mouth

[feral vessel]

hydraulic press

[limpid vigil]

as in a single digit iq number can be an equal iq number

[limpid vigil]

Hydraulic nosh

[feral vessel]

jesus christ why is the server so dead..

i should go write something.

what should i go write though

[tired inlet]

it is 1530EDT on a Monday in March.

only NEETs, and those who can access discord in their job would be active now.

and Europeans, I guess

[feral vessel]

where are other europeans

[twin flower]

well its like 4am where am at idk about the others

[clever horizon]

for the longest time one been reading your name as neopolitanfemboy

[feral vessel]

are you fuckers going to leave the stupid slav alone in this

[hidden trout]

i dont blame you, this is a 40k related server
its only natural to assume youd find a fork in the kitchen

[limpid vigil]

You are not the first one to do so. You shan't be the last

[limpid vigil]

In europe

Like me

[clever horizon]

on my phone i didn't see the edge of it lol

[feral vessel]

are you like french or something

[tired inlet]

Ah, but you repeat yourself (this is a joke concerning Naples)

[limpid vigil]

Nah. Polish , wich is why i get mistaken as neopolitan femboy so often

[feral vessel]

oh well met fellow slav then

only normal folk in europe amirite or amirite

[limpid vigil]

Yurite

[south valve]

u wot m8

wanna go do ya?

[clever horizon]

sorry I'm American

[feral vessel]

are you like a brit or something

[limpid vigil]

Id be scared saying that considering british healthcare is crappier than the streets of london circa 19th century

[south valve]

Yeah

Neopolitian means someone/something from Naples, Italy.

[feral vessel]

No, wait, that would be Elizabeth.

[limpid vigil]

(Also to be clear neo , the character i like and i have set as my pfp was based on neapolitain ice cream)

[feral vessel]

thanks for showing me this gem

[south valve]

Where's that tf2 meme of "Margaret Thatcher has returned from the underworld" and the Irish guy going "Ah lads, not again"

[distant anchor]

What would you guys say is the dump stat on a plasma gun

[tired inlet]

it doesn't have one

[feral vessel]

it doesn't have one,

[distant anchor]

Ah

[tired inlet]

the trick is getting one to 69 and the other to 71

[feral vessel]

there's a 'perfect' ratio of like..

yeah that

69 cooling and 71 charge i think

[tired inlet]

so 80-80-71-69-80

[broken breach]

i love doing some havoc and seeing my team can't even res or horribly worse slide against gunners

[blazing ibex]

It was me

Sorry

[broken breach]

dude im always doing like genuinely more than the entire team i hate it here

[tired inlet]

Solid joke: What's the difference between Jimmy Saville and Margaret Thatcher?
Answer: One fucks minors while the other fucks miners.

[south valve]

lol

[oak nexus]

fire new pfp btw

[blazing ibex]

Thank you kind sir

[south valve]

I'm trying to think of more UK jokes

"What do rich people call the toilet? The (insert town you don't like)!"

[blazing ibex]

What rank is it

[broken breach]

well it was 21 at some point yesterday buts its down to 19 now

[tired inlet]

Four Yorkshiremen Sketch from Monty Python is solid

[south valve]

Not sure I've seen much monty python tbh

[blazing ibex]

Oh you're in elo hell

Makes sense.

[south valve]

The Holy Grail is my favourite film ever though

[tawny hearth]

lol alot of pub teams need you to go a bit slower if you're playing around the 30 or 20 range because its sometimes people gettin used to the mode, i do alot of relaxed playing around 30 tbh

[patent grove]

https://tenor.com/view/monty-python-and-the-holy-grail-rabbit-bunny-gif-11190286

[broken breach]

they really need to be in auric before doing this stuff though

[blazing ibex]

Some of them are in auric lol

[broken breach]

would 1 video on the game of the havoc mode really hurt as well

[tawny hearth]

alot of problems woudl be fixed if people understood what the toughness grace period is and how it helps you and what it means to not have it

thats really the main havoc thing

[broken breach]

i had a havoc 40 ogryn who purposely took a bad kit get made at me cause i took his 1 "nuke" ogryn grenade over my 4 RPGs like come on

[tawny hearth]

other than that its just getting used to being a bit safer

[blazing ibex]

Ofc it's the ogryn

[patent grove]

What's that?

[blazing ibex]

Why am I not surprised by this revelation

[broken breach]

dude was also bragging about his havoc 40

[tawny hearth]

if you took the nades a number of times then sure... if it was just once then yeah... nade in havoc isn't like.. good, either box or rock depending on other loudout

[oak nexus]

guh, Ogryn have bad rep?

[broken breach]

as if it made his low stats any better

[broken breach]

it was once and my rpg saved things when it got bad

[tired inlet]

can rock-ogryn even take grenades?!

[oak nexus]

gold metal in ow type mentality but in this case not even getting the gold metal lol

[blazing ibex]

In normal games, when your toughness breaks, you have a grace period where you don't take damage and enemy guns lose their accuracy against you

[tawny hearth]

no, i just meant that you shouldn't take the oggy nade into havoc unless you're like.. above average player

because its the worst blitz by a mile

[tired inlet]

you mean the mekkakrak?

[blazing ibex]

By havoc rank 16, that grace period is gone

[oak nexus]

only having one oggy nade is so fuckin awful

[patent grove]

Ahh

[blazing ibex]

Box is just better imho

Or rock

[oak nexus]

box or rock

[broken breach]

yeah but it was way more important than 4 hivescum rpgs

[oak nexus]

rock is sick for taking out elites like chargers comin in

[tawny hearth]

basically it all just amounts to all guns are waaay more lethal in havoc so you have to respect them more

[oak nexus]

also the range on it is nice

box is perfect panic nade

[tired inlet]

mostly because it turns friction off their ragdoll state and sends 'em flyin'

[blazing ibex]

I'm curious what this ogryn's name is now

[broken breach]

i can say it but idk if thats allowed lol

[oak nexus]

Joe Rogryn

[broken breach]

sadly i did not have his steam

[tawny hearth]

rock is for when i take rumbler, because rumbler is a blitz option, box is for when i need a blitz option instead of a gun

[blazing ibex]

Just cuz I've been experiencing an interesting mixture of ogryn players in my havocs

[dire kayak]

meow

[oak nexus]

[blazing ibex]

weff

[tawny hearth]

oggy has always been a mixed bag, some of the best players you'll ever meet or new guys who just don't know anything

[south valve]

I once met an ogryn called Pinkie Pie

[broken breach]

is there any way to see more of my recent players?

[south valve]

or something like that

[oak nexus]

thats pretty fire

[blazing ibex]

I mean just the operative name would be fine

But in steam, there is

Or in dt social actually

[tired inlet]

in-game? social tab. previous Missions.

[broken breach]

I just want to know personally so i dont run into the man child again and waste my time

[dire kayak]

hissss,,,,

[broken breach]

oh yeah i see him

[tawny hearth]

honestly i've never been upset when people take nades or ammo from me when i'm playing oggy, unless they do it like 5 times in a row just to take it from me instead of refilling

[broken breach]

his name was Lunchbox

[blazing ibex]

Lmao

[tawny hearth]

half the time i forget to grab ammo from the ammo box, and i'm usually the one dropping it

[blazing ibex]

Yeah I've played with them before

[broken breach]

he was like "look me up bro!"

[blazing ibex]

Yeah keep your distance from that one

[broken breach]

yeah what set him off was one bad ogryn grenade

while he idk didnt hold the front line and lagged behind

[tawny hearth]

i think you can spot the good oggy's from the bad oggy's based on how they react when they mess up

[broken breach]

I could tell by this dudes mannerisms that he would just start yapping

[tawny hearth]

[dire kayak]

i think i might get a witch hat

[oak nexus]

irl or in game

[tired inlet]

since you can see the icons for ammo/grenades, you can tell if someone's low, or has none

[tawny hearth]

honestly also i bring meme and bad builds into havoc sometimes but like... i usually make sure they are workable if i'm doing something that silly and apologize and swap my build if i actually do drag us

[tawny hearth]

yeah thats what i mean, i only get upset if i'm empty and they are not and keep taking them, if they are also low they can keep taking it for all i care

[south valve]

I once got kicked from a Legend game in v2 for playing speed grail knight

I don't know why I still remember that

[tawny hearth]

LEGEND

lmao

who would kick in legend?

[tired inlet]

like, Saturday I was running an ogryn mission and had an ammo pack and the arby on the team kept spamming "I need ammo" and then asked me to drop it because he had "no ammo" and the icon was orange. So I responded, "Yeah, you're lying. I can see your ammo count." We were right before the elevator down to the final event. So I told them to wait, I'll drop it at the event end.

[south valve]

My thoughts exactly

It's not a hard difficulty

[broken breach]

I was just flat out empty and having played ogryn i just thought rpg was more important

[tawny hearth]

when vt2 released i did get kicked in legend before the game start because i was one of the very few people who could play slayer at legend before they made slayer good lol

so there was a time where i got kicked alot but it passed

people would just see a slayer and kick

[blazing ibex]

And this is where I will spout my blackout supremacy

[south valve]

People took legend WAY too seriously

[blazing ibex]

Why need grenade pick ups

[south valve]

more seriously than cata honestly

[tired inlet]

"Khazukan, kazakit-ha!"

[blazing ibex]

When you can just kill everything for nades

[tawny hearth]

yeah like... box and rocket are kind of tied for how useful each one is but nade vs rocket isn't even a talk

[blazing ibex]

[broken breach]

box is good so i can understand that

[oak nexus]

gamers, when does the cosmetic shop rotate

[tawny hearth]

cata was, and i'm assuming still is, one of the most relaxed player bases

[south valve]

Probably

[blazing ibex]

Same thing as h40 tbh

[tawny hearth]

honestly 30 to 40 is pretty relaxed... gets better closer to 40 obviously

but i've run into very few ragers around 30

[lyric frigate]

how did you even make it out of h20

[broken breach]

i just need to grab some mods and make sure people have at least good kits

[blazing ibex]

I had to get on a few cases for policing others on what they should use in my lobby

In the past few days

And someone even said I'm selling for using blackouts and not rockets

[broken breach]

I kind of want to do this but i fear some people are not willing to hear it

i mean finding games is bad enough

[tawny hearth]

honestly i don't find it that impossible to win enough for number to go up... as long as i'm bringing one of my comfy havoc builds i'm finding pretty good success

sometimes a team will lose the first round then we'll win on second try

there was a guy in an auric i was hard carrying that started trying to police another player, he made me so mad i dc'd... they lost within 20 second after that if the invite spam was anything to go by

this was like a couple months ago tho

[blazing ibex]

I'm meaning that I'd rather people use what they want if they think it'll work

[broken breach]

the invite spam is crazy

[tawny hearth]

brought me back to my wrath of god spamming ds1 pvp days

[blazing ibex]

20-30 is different tho sincd

ELO hell

[broken breach]

Thats valid but like if the damage is like REALLY bad idk

[blazing ibex]

You're simply just not with a lot of players who actually know what they're doing, unfortunately.

[tawny hearth]

i find that in havoc as long as i don't make a big oopsie we tend to win, but i do make those sometimes and it becomes a coinflip

[blazing ibex]

20-30 is infamous for being harder than 30-40 for that reason

[broken breach]

most havocs ive lost recently have ended with me clutching up when everyone dies just for them to die again

well probably half

[tawny hearth]

yeah when i play 20s its mostly me carrying

not hard carrying but making up enough

[broken breach]

but like i just need 1 other person who can just stay alive

and revives are so important to do ASAP

[tawny hearth]

lol this event is good, it finally gave me the Be Your Best penance. Wasn't even trying for it lol

[broken breach]

obviously like dont die for it but

[broken breach]

i went through and did all the penances for the classes so im glad thats behind me but accidentally doing it is good

[tawny hearth]

sometimes i do find it frustrating when i can see plenty of room for someone to push through for the revive but they are too passive to make it happen

[broken breach]

my whole team left me dead to go deal with 1 mutant

[tawny hearth]

i only accidently do them mostly, that way they are real, cousin okri taught me that

[broken breach]

i just wanted armor lol

[tawny hearth]

lol i've been dressed up in pay to dazzle outfits

i always feel bad not using at least some of the paid cosmetics i got so i end up not caring as much about the freebies, but i do mix some of those sets in with other ones

[broken breach]

The shop is so slow that i dont think ill ever see an outfit ill like in time

and im trying to not buy things i kind of like

[gleaming kite]

There are some outfits which haven't shown up in literal years

[tawny hearth]

i basically dont' like any full outfit, but alot of the outfits can mix and match into fun stuff

[fleet beacon]

Leg day for the emperor

[broken breach]

there was one for psyker with like a coat on kind of like a cape

will it be back idk

[tawny hearth]

like right now my oggy is using 3 different sets cosmetics

[blazing ibex]

Oh hey Cactus.

[gleaming kite]

Heyo!

I've been waiting for the blue paladin Ogryn armor to show back up in the shop

It hasn't been in rotation for almost two years

[broken breach]

dude they are actively causing LESS sales this way

maybe

[gleaming kite]

probably

[broken breach]

its just honestly too slow

[south valve]

Gotta get that fomo

yayyyy 😔

[gleaming kite]

My wild guess is that they read some handbook or hired a team to implement the super limited shop rotation, because it worked in specific case studies like fortnite

[broken breach]

midmo more like

[gleaming kite]

without thinking of how it'd actually play out in practice

square peg/round hole

[tawny hearth]

thats not how it works, it would be part of a white paper to make it look better for investors most likely, or maybe even part of the talks that go into agreements about money

but it wouldn't be a dev choice

[gleaming kite]

Oh yeah it's not a dev choice

[digital fulcrum]

yea

[gleaming kite]

You are right though

[broken breach]

well im off to perhaps suffer again in havoc so

[blazing ibex]

In a Lil, I shall open up yet another havoc lobby and hope to the Emperor that its not ourple

[gleaming kite]

A lot of "what were they thinking?" decisions like that are usually disconnected from the actual dev team

[tender horizon]

Ty

[tender horizon]

It's still purple.

Purple rages in 40 are some funny mfs

[tawny hearth]

nearly always (but there is the odd edge case )

[blazing ibex]

It wasn't yesterday wasn't yesterday.

[gleaming kite]

Having sat in on some of those consultancy meetings myself

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1251953086864560219.webp?size=40&animated=true

[blazing ibex]

I had a somewhat chill set of modifiers

But

[gleaming kite]

I like how Havoc inevtiably cycles back to the most-hated modifiers

every time

[blazing ibex]

It was an armor seed

[gleaming kite]

We got yellow and cranial for like... three weeks? If even?

Now we're back to red/purple/rituals

at least there's no rotten

[tawny hearth]

wasn't cranial crashing peopel bad tho?

[blazing ibex]

I actually like red.

[tawny hearth]

or am i misremembering

[gleaming kite]

I believe it was cranial/red, yes

Can we remove Rituals from rotation using the same logic, then?

It doesn't cause people to crash, but it's broken on every map

Or more accurately, there are bugged ritual spawns on every map

[blazing ibex]

The right side ritual spawn that kept happening on Sycorax last night

[gleaming kite]

And none of them (except for that one after the first elevator on Refinery Delta) have ever been addressed

[gleaming kite]

OH MY GOD YES

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[blazing ibex]

That starts ticking faster because technically you're within range when it's around an entire corner

[tawny hearth]

lol i wonder how much engineering time the havoc people get, seems like alot of what they have to do is without much engineering time but i could be wrong... would explain why its often more jank

that and the enemy numbers lol

[gleaming kite]

Probably not much. Probably also a small team, too

[blazing ibex]

Literally the very first spawn on that map

And it's bugged

[gleaming kite]

lmao

And sometimes, you can get BOTH ritual spawns in that area!

[tawny hearth]

100% its why i was wondering, but yeah its probably not much

[gleaming kite]

Because the one on the left is 'technically' farther into the map

[blazing ibex]

I think we did yesterday actually

[gleaming kite]

Yeah that did happen during one run lmao

[oak nexus]

I am getting FUCKED up by trapper rn

[gleaming kite]

My current map is Excise Vault/purple/ritual

absolutely demonic

[blazing ibex]

I'm just gonna bring skullcrusher dclaw for rits from now on

[tawny hearth]

are there no ragers in the event mode? i'm not sure i've seen one

[blazing ibex]

Daemonhost insurance plan

[gleaming kite]

Oh yeah, on the topic of red + cranial crashing games

...Why don't we just remove red instead

🙂

I actually don't mind red that much

[blazing ibex]

I actually like red

[gleaming kite]

Purple is more of a problem

[blazing ibex]

What I don't like

[gleaming kite]

Why does purple give the enemy stagger resistance?

whyyyyy

Red is fine on its own. It just gets amplified by stimms/purple/etc

[blazing ibex]

Is the bubble purge psyker hitting the elites I'm trying to kill so they turn red and tear me apart

[gleaming kite]

oh my god

I wish more psykers used trauma ;_;

[blazing ibex]

I really insist on psykers using trauma more in red

Inferno staff is just obnoxious in that modifier

Highkey

[gleaming kite]

I love losing 400 hp in 1.5 seconds because the three Reapers in front of me turned red

[blazing ibex]

Well. Alright

If it's a shriek purge

That's fine

[tawny hearth]

just standard oggy gameplay tbh

[blazing ibex]

Because they're actually gonna. Ya know

Die.

And die fast enough that this isn't an issue

[gleaming kite]

The duality of ogryn:

• Spend 75% of the match not losing hp
• Get pounced/netted and shredded instantly by a red gunner from across the room

[gleaming kite]

True

[blazing ibex]

And if it's red + purple

Legit I just don't even accept bubble inferno psykers

[gleaming kite]

The entire map lights up red

Even better:

Smitekers in red

[blazing ibex]

[gleaming kite]

YOU made me do this! YOU DID!

No I didn't, Psyker. You brought Smite to red.

[gleaming kite]

shock mines at least still have a use in red for stopping hordes while you hit them

Smiteker does nothing once the entire patrol turns red

[feral vessel]

ATTENTION STALKERS
AN EMISSION IS ABOUT TO HIT 🗣️ ☢️

[lyric frigate]

i think there should be a toggle in settings that automatically kicks smykers from my game

[gleaming kite]

lmao

Agreed

[feral vessel]

shitty low quality siren sound

[lethal solstice]

Why is this a sticker nooooo

[tawny hearth]

one thing i have been enjoying about these last couple events is watching people who've never played above auric try to handled the weird spawns

some people are not passing the vibe check

[feral vessel]

sephoni was supposed to prepare me for this

she promised sah

can you go slap her

[tawny hearth]

lesson 1 is learning that sefoni lies... alot

you'd lie too if you were stuck in a fishtank

[feral vessel]

Looks more like a Mason jar but alrighty-do.

[tawny hearth]

its one of those soccer mom style home made "cute" fish tanks

we bought it for her at the flea market

[feral vessel]

dude it's a PVC tube

at best

[tawny hearth]

the lady who sold it said she was trained by THE Mason Jarr

[fair bridge]

i went to a restaurant called the mason jar once

it kinda sucked

[tawny hearth]

she would never lie, she paid 20 bucks for a permit to sell there

[tawny hearth]

lol that sounds like a place that wouldn't wow yeah

[fair bridge]

dude i went to a tight diner today though

had a grilled pork chop

it was delicious

[feral vessel]

i went to a KFC for the first time today

[tawny hearth]

pork chops sound so good atm

[feral vessel]

10 chicken tenders, two tiny sacks of fries and 2 disgusting cans of gravy

[fair bridge]

it was so good

i was shocked

[feral vessel]

definitely worth 25GBP

[fair bridge]

perfectly cooked, great sear, really juicy

whole meal was $15

which is fair enough imo

[feral vessel]

i wish there were those street food fests more often where i live

[fair bridge]

ten TENDERS?

like ten whole tenderloins?

[feral vessel]

yes

[fair bridge]

makes sense why it cost that much

[feral vessel]

Yes.

ten boneless tenders or sum

[fair bridge]

u can just buy some bone-in breasts for super cheap

cut off your own tenders

[feral vessel]

I wanted to try KFC for some reason because it's not a thing in slovakia

i was promptly disappointed

[fair bridge]

i started cooking bone-in skin-on chicken thighs and it's been gorgeous

[feral vessel]

still tasted good

only thing i can cook is an omelette and instant ramen dawg 💔

[fair bridge]

omelettes are sick

[tawny hearth]

the KFC experience in a nutshell tbh

[fair bridge]

i can never fuckin make one

[south valve]

KFC was the first thing I missed when I stopped eating meat

[fair bridge]

i'm horrible with eggs

[feral vessel]

my omelettes are like..

sloppy

[tawny hearth]

i always ruin omelettes yeah... i end up making suprised scrambled eggs with things in them

[feral vessel]

also never EVER mix it with cheddar

[fair bridge]

sameeeee

[feral vessel]

you WILL shit yourself

like horribly

[fair bridge]

i think u might be lactose intolerant

[feral vessel]

i had a stomach ache for like 5 hours

[feral vessel]

i can eat dairy fine

i think it was just the combination of cheddar and egg

[fair bridge]

wtf kinda cheese do u have out there

[feral vessel]

more chemicals than actual dairy at that point

[tawny hearth]

might have been something wrong with the food, like accidental contamination or something

[fair bridge]

i'm making chicken parm tomorrow

it's gonna be amazing

wish we had more fridge space though

I've seen our ogryn boys dying left and right since the event started

[drowsy lynx]

Honestly would take anything over the blight + rotten armor combo

[tawny hearth]

you don't gotta be scared, worst case is that you lose and even the best havoc players lose

[blazing ibex]

nah ima be real

[dire kayak]

as a crowbar main i must say

AAAAAAAAAAAA

[blazing ibex]

i think if rot and purple end up in a rotation together

[lyric frigate]

there are a lot of modifier combos that lowkey just mean instant death

[blazing ibex]

i'm not sure i'm playing havoc at that point

lmao

[tawny hearth]

lol honestly thats on them, i'm running a gimmicky fire paul havoc build and things are going fine, like yeah i've gone down here or there but thats me being dumb and not oggy struggling

[blazing ibex]

Ain't no way stagger resistant walls of carapace that also heal themselves won't be a complete slog

[feral vessel]

even on low havoc it is

at least there you can sorta one-shot them with specific builds

[blazing ibex]

It was already bad when they didn't have the stagger resistance

[tawny hearth]

what if the entire map only 15 crushers spawned but those crushers were all immune to damage and stagger?

[blazing ibex]

You know what.

This actually sounds fun.

[tender horizon]

The demote special

[tender horizon]

GTFO experience

[tawny hearth]

lol as i was typing it was thinking the same

[blazing ibex]

You just have to basically keep them off your tail the whole game

[drowsy lynx]

I tried it a couple times and it was nearly impossible with pub lobbies, I mostly avoided it until they rotated out and got 40 clearance again by the end of the week

[dire kayak]

i wish havoc was like

cool

[drowsy lynx]

But during that time I didn't complete a single 31+ despite trying a fair few times

[blazing ibex]

I feel like they'd need certain points on the map where they couldn't move for obvious reasons

[feral vessel]

pizza tower reference

times 15

[blazing ibex]

but no lie that actually sounds fun

[feral vessel]

yes it does

somewhat

assuming you get a grace period in the airlocks

[tawny hearth]

lol i feel like i know what that is but also i dont' know what that is

[feral vessel]

and a bit after that while they waddle through the monster closet doors

[blazing ibex]

i managed two of them

these games were also where i realized how disgustingly high damage hive scum can really be if you're locked in

[drowsy lynx]

The influx of new scum players attempting high havoc with those modifiers didn't help lol

[blazing ibex]

tru

[tawny hearth]

scum is crazy when things click into place, but one thing out of place and its splat

like it feels so good till it stops so suddenly

[blazing ibex]

i'm living dangerously with a health curio and two stam curios

gunners aren't an issue if they're dead

[languid hazel]

True

[tawny hearth]

lol thats what i run alot mostly because i found a good health curio before a stam one

[languid hazel]

But I have issues

[tender horizon]

Tbh gunners are not my issue in this set up

[tawny hearth]

you're in the darktide server, we all do

[tender horizon]

It's "oh 2 maulers swung at once outside my fov"

[blazing ibex]

funny enough

[tawny hearth]

sneaky maulers are upsetting

[blazing ibex]

i actually tanked a mauler overhead yesterday

[dire kayak]

that's so real

[blazing ibex]

with that setup

at 9 hp mind u

[languid hazel]

Fair. But not those kinds of issues. More like self-esteem and self-worth issues

[blazing ibex]

but it actually happened and my jaw droppd

[dire kayak]

so real,,,,

[tender horizon]

Do you have +5 HP on all 3 trinkets

[blazing ibex]

I do.

[tawny hearth]

lol i think my point still stands (i get you tho)

[tender horizon]

That's probably why

[blazing ibex]

also

150 hp and 80 toughness

is just a satisfying number to me

you rarely ever get both stats with 0 at the end

if that is weird

i mean whatever

[tender horizon]

Back to grinding havoc I go ig

I want to hit 30 by the end of the day

[jaunty path]

Is it really that significant

[blazing ibex]

it 100% saved me from getting downed by that mauler

[tender horizon]

I don't and would not be able to tank them fwiw

[jaunty path]

You playing havoc?

[blazing ibex]

i'm in rn and i haven't gotten anyone to join

[tender horizon]

I'm about to start one, yes

[blazing ibex]

in like

[dire kayak]

meow :(

[blazing ibex]

5 minutes

[tawny hearth]

that or the 5% toughness depending on the rest of your build are both impactful

[blazing ibex]

honestly i dont really think 5% toughness is actually impactful at all

at least on scum

[jaunty path]

I wanna play w u. I hope ur good. I can't right now but I can totally join in 5 or 10 minutes

[blazing ibex]

at least for havoc

it nets you

4 toughness

[jaunty path]

5% toughness on all curios. 15% in total

[blazing ibex]

that's it

[tawny hearth]

i decided to try it because i run 1 health (when i do run 1 health) to see how it works out and just never stopped

[tender horizon]

No you don't/I'm not/I probably won't be out of this one for 40 minutes

[jaunty path]

If its one thing I've learned. Is numbers seem small till they addup

[jaunty path]

Its fine dw

I have a 35 we can play

[tender horizon]

We'll see

[tawny hearth]

the EVE online experience (you'll wait 3 months for a 1% increase in that game)

[dire kayak]

i dropped havoc after getting demoted 5 times in a row

[tawny hearth]

thats is a bad streak

[blazing ibex]

dude my worst was like

7

[tawny hearth]

yeah i think my worst loss streak in havoc was like 6? maybe

[blazing ibex]

sometimes you just get dealt a bad hand

[arctic shoal]

And you'll love that in your spreadsheet lmao

[blazing ibex]

🤷‍♀️

[dire kayak]

im going to EAT whoever thought of havoc

[tawny hearth]

it makes it so i can cycle my lasers 1 time less... 1 TIME!!!!!!!!!

i keep thinking i should start playing eve again... but then i remember what it was like

great game, but horrible game

[chilly shell]

I feel like the most recent patch is causing me to crash more when screen recording

[arctic shoal]

It's like LoL

[chilly shell]

just play aram

[arctic shoal]

THere is a 'need' to play it, but just rechecking to install reminds you of the reality and after a day of work you really don't wanna put up with some stuff

[chilly shell]

my mental health improved drastically once i refused to touch SR

[tawny hearth]

lol i feel this, i put 10k hours into league during its first so many years, i tried playing it this last year... i felt so old and confused like i was a 90 year old with dementia

like everything almost looked right but nothing was what i knew

[chilly shell]

does it still have that new monster with the petals thing

[languid hazel]

I think they should adjust enemy numbers and slightly nerf the players to compensate

[tawny hearth]

so like undo the stuff they've done over the last bit? lol
