[keen anchor]

the greatest way to deal with everything on the current illuminate front is to use your squad as meat shields while you hold down the minigun trigger and eat all of their supplies

[twin nebula]

Thats enough crayons for you sir

[empty zealot]

Shield grenade + cremator

[keen anchor]

i will try this. soon. currently i am bugdiving.

have not used cremator yet because i still am not sure whether or not the status bug is real

[slim coral]

Why dont we hook our GPU while playing this game in like a water tank

Cuz it will generate steam power source due to how bad this game is running, GPU will heat up more generate heat that boil water

I thought when my bullets turn red, they shoot incendiary rounds, no it's just another visual indicator that you're low on ammo

[plain bough]

tracer rounds at the end of your magazine yes

and a slight audio cue that you're about to run out

[bleak patrol]

And it was in the game since forever

[empty zealot]

Great, Leviathans still target generators on defense

[slim coral]

when did Leviathan laser beam your forhead

[plain bough]

they did for a while, but the problem is the voteless masses modifier cuts down severely on seaf and civilians so they target you almost exclusively and you're absolutely fucked in the open

[plucky lion]

arc nades are kinda cool but not being able to take out spawners hurts

[rancid ibex]

What in the

[slim coral]

AIRBURST LAUNCHER MY BELOVED

Illuminate Mass I'd do Airburst

But with the fucking obstruder shits I'd rather HMG and HMG Emplacement

[slim coral]

Friendly Fire
Friendly Fire
Friendly Fire

[steady zinc]

Better than Fartdivers

[slim coral]

There is Grenade Divers with

GL Pistol, Two One, Impact Nade, Belt Fed Grenade, normal grenade, grenade wall, whatever the final one maybe

There is full flamer diver

Flamer primary, scorcher, incindiary or firework grenade, Cremator, EAT Napalm, Napalm Strike or Eagle Napalm whatever, Hot Dog

Tesla and then Fart

[empty zealot]

Ah yes, typical d10 cause gaemasters can't fucking make it enjoyable

[dire igloo]

Sir we must spam the stupid idiot retard enemy the diver is having fun and being joyous

[plucky lion]

they have a new enemy and they want to be sure you got a good feel for it

by being hammered by 50 of them at once lol

[dire igloo]

Crossbow is just the best weapon against it

You shoot it top of head and it dies pretty much instantly

[loud bison]

the hell was this about?

[sacred tapir]

two one 🥀

[plucky lion]

im gonna miss heavy pen grenade launcher

just shooting wildly at everything i see on the bug front and winning lol

[slim coral]

I think they want to make GL as horde clear

And BF GL as armor punching

But too bad if it is its outclassed heavily by HMG

[plucky lion]

yeh idk if they are gonna be able to carve out a good niche for the belt fed

[sacred tapir]

the niche should have been consistent area damage, but they didnt give it enough damage or AoE

it currently does a worse job suppressing hordes than the airburst

and the airburst actually kills shit

3 airburst rockets will likely get more mileage than the whole bfgl backpack

and you get 6 total

[plucky lion]

also the airbust is just vastly more satisfying to use

[slim coral]

The new mech eats so much damage to kill sometimes its frustrating

I found shooting its leg kills faster than shooting the cockpit for some reasons

Also I tried bringing GL against those guys

Terrible mistake

[sacred tapir]

i shoot the joints with the GPMG

and it goes down fast tbh

faster than a fleshmob

[slim coral]

Still

I dont get how shooting the controller takes more shot than the leg

Its such a weird way to design it

Like even if you disable its shield generator it still takes so long to kill

Like they made that part a shot trap

[sacred tapir]

i mean... would you not make the pilot well protected?

because logically you can lose the mech but save the pilot if its never killed

why would you intentionally make it easy to shoot your pilot out

it just makes sense that its more durable than most shields

[plucky lion]

yeah it's good design imo. make what looks like the weak spot a strong one

[sacred tapir]

its protecting a guy

the guy is worth more than the mech

the mech can be built

also why do the enemies have better mechs and tanks?

we need buffs

[plucky lion]

now all we need to do is have the squid hop out of the cockpick after u disable the mech and beat u with their squidly fists

[sacred tapir]

tank needs heavy and a medium rear, and mechs need all limbs to be medium and buff them

[sacred tapir]

or they have a gun like the flying ones

but theyre ground based

same armor as the normal overseers, just they shoot bursts and keep distance

but yeah the mechs have good dps, but horrible sustained damage

a person with an autocannon and someone team reloading, can output similar damage AND they can resupply

and no 8 min cooldown

so yeah, the mechs kinda fucking suck

the damage on the patriot minigun is just an MG-43 but faster shooting

so just get someone with an MG and supply pack, and blaze away

"but you have to reload" yeah but if you blaze away on the mech you run out of ammo in like 50 seconds max

with supply pack and an MG you get like 4 minutes of fire

easily

[unborn ibex]

That's entirely intentional. One is a backpack loaded weapon, and the other is capable of being used with other backpacks. Giving you utility to mix with your acceptable levels of elite and Chaff disruptions.

[sacred tapir]

no its not

airburst needs a backpack

[unborn ibex]

I just said that.

[sacred tapir]

and the bfgl also needs a backpack

idk what youre on about

[unborn ibex]

Oh I thought you were referring to the normal grenade launcher.

[sacred tapir]

no that one is just fine balance wise

it has its niche

the bfgl does everything worse than the normal one

and it has no use at all

needs more AoE and damage

doesnt even need armor pen, just more of everything

the trade off shouldnt be worse damage, it should be less mobility and more sustained fire

the new flamer does it well

more range and damage, BUT it has a REQUIRED backpack

not optional

[unborn ibex]

I'm not sure I like the bfgl as it functions, but I agree just giving it the actual grenade round would be nice.

Like I could give up the pen.

[sacred tapir]

i like the concept

it just sucks

all gls are medium pen

so thats fine

BUT why is it so FUCKING WEAK

also no impact damage?

are we deadass

give it like 75 impact damage

on all gls

its not like thats a big change

it just means that you can DONK enemies at point blank

besides the gl thrives from AoE

[unborn ibex]

I ageee grenades feel like tennis balls.

You might as well be playing wall ball when you thwonk a warrior in the head at point blank with a 40mm slug.

[sacred tapir]

the ever formidable dodge ball

its still got power behind it, but it should only be light pen

since its just a lotta force

not a penetrator

[slim coral]

Tbh

[sacred tapir]

unless its like an AP grenade

or smth

[slim coral]

The fact that BFGL has heavy pen DOESN'T even make it good

Is just insane

Like no one even asked lmao

[unborn ibex]

I feel it was knee jerk reaction by the devs making it when people slammed the maxigun.

That or them being to lazy to make them work as different ammo types.

[slim coral]

Ngl I was like "Damn time to try Maximgun it couldnt be that bad"

[sacred tapir]

also i thought that was just the projectile?

which does no damage

[slim coral]

A game later and I was like I swear MMG is way better than this

[plucky lion]

actually heavy pen made it pretty fuckin awesome vs bugs. could spray down any enemy you encounter with it

[sacred tapir]

because sadly it is

not enough ammo behind the maxigun

[slim coral]

Its not that

[sacred tapir]

its kinda that, if they dont pack more damage, its gonna need more ammo

[slim coral]

It just doesnt deal as consistent damage and less mobile than GPMG in my case

[sacred tapir]

it does good damage, its almost the same iirc

just less mobile

but it needs more ammo

[slim coral]

GPMG you can move and fire, if not you can hold a MG nest and shoot

The thing is its so accurate that you can eye dome a harvest very consistently

Maxigun however cant

[sacred tapir]

oh the maxigun does 10 less

and 5 less durable

it did not need that nerf

but ok

[plucky lion]

the maxigun has waaay more dps than the MMG which i think helps quite a lot when a reinforcement wave is bearing down on me and i need to kill things fast before i get overrun. this is why i prefer it to the MMG where i gotta usually gotta kill them gradually as i retreat

[slim coral]

Terrible handling and stuff makes it such a slog

Where you can head charge with MMG

Hell I have more use with Stalwart than Maxigun

[plucky lion]

the handling is perfectly acceptable in first person

not exactly easy, but still good enough

[slim coral]

The only mission where Maxigun shine is the defense mission

Other than that I rather run MMG

It does everything like 10 times better

[unborn ibex]

Stalwart out and out shreds anything beneath a charger.

[plucky lion]

on defense missions why bring maxigun when i can just spam mines and turret emplacement though lol

[sacred tapir]

the ever formidable empty click

[slim coral]

I absolutely adore the Stalwart in bot

[plucky lion]

HMG emplacement is better than maxigun if you dont ever have to move

[slim coral]

Its such a fun gun to run along w Leveller

[sacred tapir]

stalwart is a primary disguised as a support

use it as your main, then just pack an eruptor

and just go

it works

[unborn ibex]

The only issue I have with it on bot is warstrider seeds.

[sacred tapir]

bring strats for super heavies

[sacred tapir]

eruptor:

[slim coral]

Thats why I said bring a Leveller

[unborn ibex]

Funnily enough I've only used it twice. Both it and the crossbow have been in my brain's "this is cheese" section.

[slim coral]

Thats my bot setup

I run Leveller with Airburst or Stalwart

On Cyberstan I run exclusively Leveller and Airburst

[sacred tapir]

thats for the crossbow

eruptor is NOT cheese

also crossbow isnt even as good as people say

that 5 round cap and slow ass reload really makes it lame

it feels like shit too

[slim coral]

Also did they nerf GL Pistol? Or why does it feel so weak now

[sacred tapir]

so its not worth using imo

[slim coral]

I swear it could clear horde pretty nicely

[sacred tapir]

its because all enemies got buffed a bit

on bugs

[slim coral]

Now it cant kill 3 Obstruder next to each other

[sacred tapir]

idk about bots

or squids, i dont use gl pistol almost ever

[unborn ibex]

I've taken to using it more on bugs since I hate getting stuck with grenades I don't want to use.

[plucky lion]

crossbow has always been great

[sacred tapir]

why do you not use grenades

crossbow is great if you can put up with the fact up close youre FUCKED

unless you bring something for it

[unborn ibex]

More like I get stuck with a type I don't feel like using.

[plucky lion]

when fighting bots crossbow + direction shield is strong as fuck

[sacred tapir]

single rocket = ragdoll = mowed down

9/10 times

always happens unless you get shot into cover

[plucky lion]

still helps massively

[slim coral]

I wish they added anti air autocannon that can also be used to clear horde

[sacred tapir]

then bring ones you like

[slim coral]

Not like the normal AT Cannon I know that

[sacred tapir]

why would you bring shit you dont like using or dont feel like

[slim coral]

Actually

I think it does exactly rhat already

[sacred tapir]

but thats what the flak rounds do??

[unborn ibex]

Then I wind up stareing at a bug nest like a moron.

[sacred tapir]

they literally do that

[sacred tapir]

why???

what do you use

thermites?

[slim coral]

I was thinking more of German flak

[sacred tapir]

wym by that?

[slim coral]

Where it explode into shotgun pellet to the front

[sacred tapir]

oh

[slim coral]

And shoots very fast

[sacred tapir]

yeah no thats dumb, just use the breaker

at that point

[unborn ibex]

I bring frags normally so I can close as many bug holes as possible.

[sacred tapir]

ok but those are awesome?

theyre like my favorite nade

[slim coral]

Also

I love MG Emplacement

[unborn ibex]

But sometimes I wanna bring something else. Not that I hate them I just need spice.

[sacred tapir]

since i can cook them which makes them an airburst/impact

[slim coral]

Its so fun to use in illuminate

[sacred tapir]

ok then bring something else

[slim coral]

It kills mech so fast

[sacred tapir]

most grenades close bug holes

besides the knives

[slim coral]

They need to add throwing hatchet

[sacred tapir]

or use an explosive support weapon you can afford to shoot, like autocannon, gl, etc.

[slim coral]

That heavy pen

[sacred tapir]

theres so many solutions

if you just think

[slim coral]

Im still trying to find the point of using AP Shell for Autocannon

Since flak does everything better

[unborn ibex]

I feel like you're making suggestions as if I'm making my choices without being aware of them. Rather than me just having given a reason as to why I like to bring the crossbow sometimes so I can bring a stalwart or mmg with a silly grenade option.

[sacred tapir]

better for armor, flak only does things better on <medium

if its a hulk's face or a war strider, it takes like 2 less shots to leg joint on strider

hulks take almost the same for both tho

[slim coral]

I remember trying to use it for hulk and it does piss damage

Maybe I just use it wrong

Lemme try again

[loud bison]

yeah, 100% exlosive resistance

[slim coral]

that's such bullshit

[sacred tapir]

The APHE-T rounds take like 3 to the eye iirc

Which is retarded

It should be 1, maybe 2

1 at close, 2 at 100+ or smth

Because it makes no sense imo

[rancid ibex]

I keep saying APHE-T as if I'm saying the name of an Egyptian pharaoh. Aphet

[bleak patrol]

Destroy the shield projector and kill the pilot?

It's like, 3 shots total with the AMR

[bleak patrol]

It should kill it with one eye shot seeing how eye only has 250 health and AC deals 280 damage to it, armor penetration and durable damage taken into account

AMR deals 374 damage to the eye tho

So it has more damage to spare for falloff

Flak rounds have a potential total damage of 3450 per round

150 explosive damage plus 30 shrapnel each dealing 110 damage for a total of 3300

[bleak patrol]

Many enemies have 100% explosive resistance on their parts, even us, the players, have 100% explosive resistance on all our limbs

In our case it's to stop a single devastator rocket from instantly killing us

I guess it's the same for enemies

Just fyi, even the obtruders have 100% explosive resistance on their parts

Most enemies however don't have any explosive resistance on their main health pool, which is what gets damaged when you shoot them with explosive rounds, that includes the new mechs

That's why you can kill them with grenade spam

[loud bison]

witnessed a player getting skill checked by obtruders

[bleak patrol]

The least accurate enemy in the history of the game?

[loud bison]

yes

[bleak patrol]

That's not even that many

[loud bison]

it took a while to get reinforced

[bleak patrol]

That's like, roughly one liberator mag worth of obtruders

Maybe half

The only real issue I have with them is that once they spot you you can't outrun them so you have to destroy them

But they are borderline blind

As long as they are not directly looking at you you can just walk past them

It's funny how a variant of the watcher is so hilariously bad at spotting people

[sacred tapir]

Never seems to though, and i dont get it

[bleak patrol]

I can test it later

[sacred tapir]

5 whole sweeper shots

I take out roughly 2 per shell

So that is literally not even a full tube

Also why the hell do obtruders take 2 talon shots, literally just to spite me

[sacred tapir]

If it one shots, i guess i cant aim with the autocannon

Gotta hang up my hat

[bleak patrol]

400 health

[sacred tapir]

Literally exact

[bleak patrol]

Yes

[sacred tapir]

200 damage per shot on talon

Its like they KNEW

Ah well, its not too bad since its infinite ammo

Just funny that it is exactly enough to slightly inconvenience me

[bleak patrol]

I haven't used the talon on appropriators yet

I did use the secondary flamethrower tho and it's gimmicky as fuck

It works
Don't use it

[slim coral]

I don't hate using BReaker but damn

it take a bit longer than expect to kill an overseer

[slim coral]

is it me

or the obstruder sometimes just 1 shot you

That or leave you at low health with chest bleeding,
or straight up explode at you

the toaster strudel never kills me

[loud bison]

if it's a headshot, then maybe

[rancid ibex]

Noticed how they only used the AMR in one moment? Cuz the AMR is dogshit

Yeah I am sure

[plucky lion]

amr works just fine vs bots. terrible vs bugs and not great vs squids

[rancid ibex]

I think it needs to work on all fronts, not just bots tbh

Pretty much limiting the freedom a player can have to play the game in any loadout they so desire, having to be stuck with so-called "meta-picks" that makes every damn loadout the same because AH can't make shit work against everything effectively because of their retarded philosophy of grunt fantasy and realism

[sacred tapir]

its fine on squids if its not a modifier faction

so the base ones

its a decent overseer deleter

[rancid ibex]

Like, I'd KILL to play as a sniper, but cba to deal with the amount of bullshit the game throws at you making you ineffective at being one. And if you just want to play as a sniper, you'll be stuck with bots for the rest of your life

[plucky lion]

how about, no

[rancid ibex]

How about yes

Because in my opinion, all weapons should be effective in all fronts. Making all loadout choices valid

I'm tired of seeing the same people run the same shit all the time

Eruptor, Crossbow, Ultimatum, Thermite

The Four Horsemen of Weapons that you should absolutely bring everywhere because fuck you if you're not using any of these

I know glazedivers will hate me on this but idgaf

[sacred tapir]

that makes no sense

it makes sense for some things to work better than others on certain things

theres a reason flamethrowers arent that amazing on bots, they work, but other things are better

railgun is good on bots, but mid on the others

[rancid ibex]

Are tou implying to me that large amounts fire can't melt metal, and railgun slugs struggle penetrating chitin compared to metal armor

Because really this all boils down to realism again

[bleak patrol]

AMR does work relatively well on squids

Or at the very least against appropriators

It can literally easily destroy anything except the leviathan

[sacred tapir]

fire does not reach 100 meters mate

[slim coral]

How many AMR to kill harvest

[bleak patrol]

Which is a big fuckass ship

[slim coral]

When like shooting eyes

[sacred tapir]

thats what i mean you clown

not the damage

[bleak patrol]

3-4

[sacred tapir]

[slim coral]

Thats pretty good

[bleak patrol]

And aim for the leg joints

[slim coral]

Especially when AMR shoots far too

And fast

[bleak patrol]

One extra for the shield generator if you want to

[sacred tapir]

fire does good damage to bots yes, but good luck shooting one at 100 meters where the rocket devastators like to sit

you need a primary

[slim coral]

I have been killing Harvest with Talon

[sacred tapir]

how has that been working?

[bleak patrol]

The fucking new mechs that the squids have? 3 shots

One for shield generator, 2 for pilot

[slim coral]

Its not reliable mean but like its great in a pinch

[sacred tapir]

ah ok

[slim coral]

Since I am running Stalwart for Squid

[bleak patrol]

And that's for both mech variants

[slim coral]

Which works surprisingly well

[bleak patrol]

All overseers die in one shot

Stingrays are killable with AMR

[slim coral]

I only have a worry regarding the Harvester but others? Stalwart does quickwork

[rancid ibex]

Ah so a flamethrower from the future can't reach 100 meters when irl flamethrowers can, in the year 2026

[bleak patrol]

Seriously it's just the leviathan

[rancid ibex]

Game balancing and realism

[slim coral]

Does not fit grunt fantasy

[rancid ibex]

Yes, grunt fantasy. Exactly what the stupid fucks at AH want you to believe

[slim coral]

I mean I dont agree with them

Im just saying cuz they use Grunt Fantasy as an excuse to everything

[rancid ibex]

I know and yeah, that excuse is so terrible

[bleak patrol]

I don't really understand the grunt fantasy argument, we are far too strong to be just grunts

[rancid ibex]

Grunt fantasy as a justification to make your equipment shitty

And only effective against one front but terrible against anything else

[slim coral]

And dont forget "In universe realism"

I havent seen ppl running Recoiless Rifle a lot

I guess squid made it completley useless

[bleak patrol]

RR is not really a squid weapon

It's a bot weapon, maybe a bug weapon

Squids don't really make you need a strong AT

[rancid ibex]

I've played with someone who ran RR. He was pretty good at it

[slim coral]

Also took me a while you can kill Melee Mech with light qeapon and you dont need to shoot the cockpit

Same w gun mech

Just the weakspot for light armor on melee mech is bigger

[rancid ibex]

He was sniping those mechs from afar. While me and everyone else were close range

[bleak patrol]

Melee mech is almost entirely medium armor meaning you can fist it to death anywhere

[rancid ibex]

Actually good player showcasing how a weapon meant for one fromt should be effective in another

[slim coral]

Yeh but light armor especially one with high damage works very well on them

Cuz their leg joints which are easy to shoot out is light armor

Same w hand joints

I kinda hate the obstruder spam

They are not hard to deal with

Just annoying they swarm you in pack and shooting you constantly

[bleak patrol]

My only annoyance with them is how they will just appear behind you but to be honest that's a common theme on squid front anyways

It's either obtruders, watchers or voteless, they just appear behind you with no warning

[slim coral]

Sometimes they appear because you didnt look at that direction

Like you do a quick 360 and they are there

[bleak patrol]

They are kinda fast

When alerted they move faster than medium armor player while running

They can close up the distance very fast

It's highly likely they spawned far away and just turned into sonic the hedgehog to miss all their shots at you

They are so inaccurate they you can ignore them most of the time

[slim coral]

Accuracy in number

Their shot can either do you nothing at all

Or chest bleed you or just instantly kill you

[bleak patrol]

Yeah I forgot I swapped my drip to the police officer one so bleed is no longer my problem

[slim coral]

Bleed doesnt matter when ya kno

You just instantly die

Tho its rare it happens

[bleak patrol]

I didn't instantly died in a while

Like, a long while

[slim coral]

I guess some armor prevent you from getting 1 shot or die from chest bleed

[bleak patrol]

At least since Cyberstan

[bleak patrol]

The one I'm wearing right now is first of all medium second of all has the passive that disables bleed and 3rd of all reduces chest damage

And I don't really wear it for the passive, I just like how it looks like

[slim coral]

Man

No breakfast

[bleak patrol]

I wear it everywhere even if it's not necessary (bugs)

[sacred tapir]

great, i dont care, balance in flamethrowers case makes sense

i dont mind this change

[rancid ibex]

[sacred tapir]

also flamers are best on organics, melting armor doesnt happen usually, but metal conducts heat

thats usually what kills them

and with bots they have heatsinks so making the bot too hot would kill it yeah

besides maybe thats why the armor can burn through heavy tank armor and shit

less range for more heat

who knows

space science, so realism cant always apply

for instance i think the one-two should be medium pen

but its not

(it should be)

its 8mm

thats goofy that its light pen imo, but maybe its HP ammo

[slim coral]

I wish they showed effect where armor piece breaks off when inflicted enough damage with flamethrower

[sacred tapir]

i couldnt care less about that

[bleak patrol]

One-Two is essentially a Liberator upgrade

[sacred tapir]

id rather helldiver armor having the same system as enemy armor

[sacred tapir]

i know, and its lame

it should have an identity besides gl pistol + liberator

its just that

[bleak patrol]

Yes but not in the same way

Heavy shouldn't be heavy

Heavy should be medium at best if we used the same system

Medium could be light

Light would have to be Unarmored II

Which would make sense, most light armors are just jackets+

[sacred tapir]

yeah we talked about this a while back

i remember

and we agreed heavy should be medium

[bleak patrol]

Yeag

[sacred tapir]

medium = light and the rest as you said, unarmored ii

[bleak patrol]

Give me the ability to dive in just my boxers for true unarmored gameplay

[sacred tapir]

better yet give armor areas, like the chest, head and arms are medium

or dependant on the model

that would be neat

getting shot in the torso where theres plating would be negligible

but shot where theres no plating would be like having light or unarmored ii

thoughts?

i feel like its way too much effort to implement

i think the general armor system idea is best

medium whole body just to simplify

[bleak patrol]

Helmets could be always light

Armor areas sound nice but it would probably take a lot of time to rework every armor in the game to work with it

And it could get confusing

For the players, I mean

[sacred tapir]

i think specific helmets should be medium

bulwark, devastator

or whatever that one was

some of the other really thick helmets

fortified commando or whatever

[bleak patrol]

Wearing a "heavy" helmet should reduce overall ergonomics for balance

[sacred tapir]

idk the names of all armors

[sacred tapir]

yeah, increase spread or smth

because its harder to keep a sight picture with a brick on your face

[bleak patrol]

I think just making aim transition slower would be fine enough

[sacred tapir]

yeah slower ads and stuff

or you mean the handling

like how hmg has 0

Handling

[sacred tapir]

i feel like it should just take like -3 off the stat

so high ergo guns arent so bad

but low ergos just become abyssmal

forcing you to adapt

and i do feel like there should be better heavy armors

not all being just medium

but maybe some having an additional armor stat, like the one ingame now

but its not the main stat, just a bonus stat

because that would mean that some armors that arent as heavy would be tough but slightly less resistant to damage, so that things (like bulwark, the new heaviest armor) would be the toughest, but it also reduces movement speed a smidge more

or stamina regen

A vision came to me where the Trident should've been a free reward gun like how it is in HD1 and the Trident's place would have been taken over by a heavy pen shotgun like a KS-23 in the Siegebreakers warbond

@rancid ibex you

Better to die to eagles than to spawn/step into those cliffs.

And lose all my samples like i did an hour ago

[slim coral]

Heavy Pen shotgun

[sacred tapir]

what cliffs?

also samples? lmao

i finished my ship upgrades, so i couldnt give any less fucks

[grizzled dagger]

the only thing i can suggest is, if you are near any enemy you are the target as well

so play keep away

[bleak patrol]

That one... I 100% agree with

[bleak patrol]

And then we have jet brigade which can just jump to you, all of the bugs which are melee fighters and especially the ones that can jump to you, obtruders which are faster than you, voteless which will just appear behind you etc. etc.

[sacred tapir]

oh i wasnt, they just decided "This empty patch of land nearby a helldiver is a GREAT place to strafe!" :D

[bleak patrol]

In my experience there's almost never any moment in the game when there are truly no targets for the DSS eagles to attack

Even when waiting for an extraction and thinking I got the one when no enemies spawn

They will just fucking obliterate the random patrol that was out of my sight roughly 100 or so meters away not even going in my direction

[sacred tapir]

oh yeah thats usually the case

maybe there was some bullshit pouncer in the ground

sometimes they do that

where they decide to fuck the laws of physics and disappear underground for 2-3 seconds

[sacred tapir]

i fucking hate this game sometimes

because i cant play with mortars because retards get killed by them

i cant use mines because retards complain about them

THEYRE BRIGHT FUCKING RED YOU DOLT

and also mortars and mines dont deal with heavies, and my team decides using ONLY THE BELT FED GL IS A GOOD IDEA

it fucking sucks on titans

[loud bison]

rather use a cremator on a titan tbh

[plain bough]

its pretty funny how the cremator is chewing pretty much everything

[empty zealot]

@sacred tapiryesterday, I played a defense mission with some guys in Kai's server. The guys said that they afk the whole mission all the time, just poof the sentries one time and go 😭
I understand if you need to do sth and afk for a few minutes, but for the whole mission...
In my 350 hours, I've never seen people do this before, yet those guys were telling me that "One guy is more than enough, the other 3 can afk."
And in the exact same game, we had struggles with heavies, one guy was afk the whole game, others brought full sentries, and I was the only one who brought eats 😭

[bleak patrol]

One guy is sometimes not enough while diving solo, especially not when with a full squad which increases spawn rate

I don't know what those guys are smoking but it's not super earth approved

[empty zealot]

We finished the mission, but next time I'd rather not play with guys like that, or if someone goes afk for the whole game, I'll kick him.
Even random would be better.

[empty zealot]

You do know you can donate those to space democracy station, right?

[bleak patrol]

I always collect samples because I find it fun

[loud bison]

blyaaa

I'll rag on the beltfed GL all day but it does shine on the Rupture strain

[loud bison]

as it should, imo
flamethrowers have been underwhelming in this game

Ok I lowk fw with Redact drip but if only my PC couldd run this shit ass game at perfect fps so I can actually have good aim response and play stealth

[loud bison]

fucking randoms, dude

"uhh we need to split up, being together at once is stupid"
We're on a difficulty 6, I don't give a shit
we'll have like 20 minutes left bro, it's not that difficult

[sacred tapir]

and get MORE EAGLE TEAMKILLS?

fuck that

[plain bough]

time to petition to have cluster bombs included in the eagle runs

[sacred tapir]

good god... hes a madman

[sacred tapir]

aim response???

dawg you can line up your shots for like 2 years

[rancid ibex]

Lack of better word

[sacred tapir]

they dont see you

[rancid ibex]

But like

My fps is low low

[sacred tapir]

stealth is quite easy

[rancid ibex]

And aiming around is slow slow

[sacred tapir]

is it less than 15?

[rancid ibex]

For me

[sacred tapir]

and ive seen people run this game on a fucking pentium

with like 20 fps

[rancid ibex]

Idk I don't have an fps counter but it's definitely 15 when on large maps

[sacred tapir]

so im sure you can get more if you optimize it

[rancid ibex]

So like I will struggle with guns with low ergo because of my fps

[sacred tapir]

good news, censor has amazing ergo

so yeah you will be ok

[rancid ibex]

Also doesn't help the recoil circle counts into this. I've played the Stoker and when I start aiming, the damn thing takes like, 3 seconds for me to get centered

[sacred tapir]

yeah idk about recoil circle

you mean where the gun points

[rancid ibex]

Yeah the little circle on your crosshair

I absolutely hate it ngl

[sacred tapir]

thats because its thick as fuck and obscures your vision

so do those big ass lines

i just mod them

i mod literally half this games UI because theyre shitty design

[empty zealot]

Not like eagle runs are the only thing in there

[sacred tapir]

need frends, anyone want to play this godforsaken game?

[bleak patrol]

Not with you

[rancid ibex]

I'm on

[sacred tapir]

too late

[sacred tapir]

now thats just mean

[rancid ibex]

Oh well

[sacred tapir]

your timing is always terrible XD

also this game is a tragedy for me, i want to play it, then i play one game, realize im bored and leave

its a loop

and part of the issue is that what i want to do isnt really in the game

entrenchment doesnt work very well when all the missions require mobility, besides the defense one

[bleak patrol]

I want to play it, see shit missions, leave

[sacred tapir]

yeah

basically

[bleak patrol]

If I see

One more fucking erad

[sacred tapir]

dogshit mission design moment:

i cant stand them

[bleak patrol]

I miss the release erads, they were actually playable

I also miss the TCS tower defense missions, that shit was peam

[rancid ibex]

I just woke up

[sacred tapir]

skill issue

[sacred tapir]

what one?

[bleak patrol]

When we were arming the TCS iirc

[sacred tapir]

my brain isnt braining, need elaboration like brain is 5 years old

[bleak patrol]

There were I believe 4 towers on the map that you had to activate and bugs would come and try to stop you

If a tower took too much damage it would reset

You could do one at a time or all at once if your team was good enough

At that time I was still playing with my friends so we would just split up and do one tower each

[unborn ibex]

The TCS missions that created the first hive planets.

One of super earth's greatest plans.

[celest elm]

this has been the easiest MO I've had since I started playing

[rancid ibex]

I hate this map ngl

Sooo much flat ground, barely any cover

[sacred tapir]

shovel:

takes like 10 seconds to make a mini trench lmao

[rancid ibex]

No one really made a trench, we just spammed orbitals and eagles and we barely made it out alive

Too many harvesters

[sacred tapir]

yeah, and the Safety Trench™ would have helped

tremendously

[rancid ibex]

Doesn't digging the ground have a limit or something

[sacred tapir]

i mean yeah but its like 10 feet deep

2x your height

[rancid ibex]

I remember one match someone tried to make a trench but they could only dig just 1ft and the ground doesn't go deeper anymore

They were tryna dig around extract

[sacred tapir]

see thats why

extract has to have flat ground

because pelican 1 would have a shitfit

and some objectives have certain spots that much stay flat too, because of how it works

but for the most part you can dig

[rancid ibex]

That sucks, let us dig with no limits

[sacred tapir]

im pretty sure the engine would explode

its held together by popsicle sticks and masking tape

and elmers

[rancid ibex]

Smh

[bleak patrol]

I don't even like the shovel because of what it does, I like the shovel cause it's fucking funny
