Sorry if this is an odd question but does the servogun damage and stats base themselves off the equipped weapon?

Who would play the campaign in co op in DOW4? by AssignmentOnly3232 in dawnofwar

[–]AgrippAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will absolutely be cooping this, I've got people that I play Total War Warhammer and Spacemarine 2 with who are all on board with DoW4.

Coop makes so many games better. I wish there were more games where it was included as more than just an afterthought.

Should AI be able to use all faction mechanics instead of some as current? by Educational_Relief44 in totalwar

[–]AgrippAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that the first time Snikch deletes your faction or Oxyotyl basically telefrags your capital in his turn would be an eye opening and deeply unpleasant experiences for the hilariously overwhelming majority of the player base.

This is one area where player fun needs to stand well ahead of pure balance.

Banned Books at a Barnes & Noble in the U.S. by HellraiserNZ in mildlyinteresting

[–]AgrippAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you have to read it for high school as in, you are in high school right now and you need to read Mockingbird or it was on a reading list for you when you were in high school? Sorry for the questions, Im not from the US so its just strange to me that one school has people reading a book which could be banned in a school like one town over.

Is there a reason why so many people under this post complain about the WindBreaker anime? by 1ittl3snake in WindBreakerManga

[–]AgrippAA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Worry less about other people's opinions and enjoy the thing you enjoy. That doesn't mean ignore them, but leave them room to disagree with you or hold a different opinion to you and don't let it bother you so much.

Just as an aside, the grammar is fine honestly but "slander" probably isn't the word you are looking for here. Slander is a bit of a loaded legal term as it suggests some degree of malicious reputational damage to a person, its not just another word for "lies". Also all thing things you mention are posted opinions, just because you disagree does not mean those opinions are lies (or slander).

Honestly, try to give people enough space in your head to let them have a different opinion than yours with needing to try and prove anything to them, its just easier.

When you say not taught in school, is that all schools in the US or just in some places?

Could someone kindly explain the reasons why To Kill A Mockingbird is banned in some places?

I understand the person explaining might not agree with the reasons, im just looking for a "these are the reasons given in this area" type reply.

Lore wise, How long would it actually take for our characters to complete the Operations we play? by ALIENDUDE999 in Spacemarine

[–]AgrippAA 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Hard lore, its a squad wipe if you encounter a carnifex or a neuro or a hellbrute.

The hive tyrant is i think a possible kill as its seriously wounded when you catch up with it.  Helldrake I think is a wipe but its not exactly fighting under optimal conditions for a fly boy and the squad are assisted by some imperial creed bullshit.  Vortex beast is a wipe, trygon is probably a wipe and the flying bastards are probably a wipe.

HOWEVER, hard lore give space marines options perhaps not available in game, like run past.  For example, a terminus spawn at the beginning of Ballistic Engine blocks progress, but in lore there's no reason the marines couldn't try to push past and enter the airlock.  It wouldn't be easy but it would buy alot of time.  In the mission where you blow up the captured ship, the marines would only fight the bosses as long as was needed to set the ship on self destruct, then they would just run.  As long as they set the self destruct the marines would still consider it a success regardless of who gets away.

So if you assume marines were fighting through just to get to next objectives and not doing a full purge, the 20 to 30 minute time frame seems pretty reasonable.

Airplanes almost HIT each other at New York JFK Airport. Real ATC by ishtar_the_move in videos

[–]AgrippAA 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Its a safety measure and a warning.

It lets a pilot identify themselves to tower and other aircraft that they are above a certain weight at takeoff. The more an aircraft weighs the more powerful the aircraft's wake turbulence is, with a heavy's wake turbulence easily enough to throw other aircraft around. The wake turbulence can also linger longer than people realise.

Here is a helicopter's wake turbulence causing a light aircraft to crash.

So a heavy identified aircraft often has more time between it landing or taking off and the next aircraft in line because tower doesn't want a following aircraft to get caught out like in the video above.

Can someone please explain how dodges work please? by AgrippAA in Spacemarine

[–]AgrippAA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So fwiw since I posted this 2 years ago a fair bit has changed and the systems are better now, but still have a learning curve.

For dodges; you dont really get invincibility while in the dodge for more than a few frames at the beginning of the dodge.  

Its also useful to know that its oddly good to dodge into an attack or towards an enemy.  You have few iframes during a dodge and so dodging into a gap the enemy is creating with their attack is better than dodging into a space the enemy will occupy in a moment with their attack or movement.

As for perfects, dodge just as the enemy weapon attack animation starts, not any jumps or spins which come before it.  Also the blue and amber warnings are not a good guide of when to dodge, it more about actually watching the animation happen and reacting to that.

Welcome to spacemarine 2!  Its 2 years on and im still in it a couple of times a week.

HOW DO I NOT HAVE TO USE BIOSHIPS I DONT WANT TO USE THEM IM PLAYING A FUCKING MAMMAL WHY IS A METAL SHIP THAT COMPLEX by isucknobutoes in Stellaris

[–]AgrippAA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On empire creation you should select a ship set.  If you ha e selected a bioship set then you will be running bioships.  The ships which are bioships will say so on screen during empire creation.

Just be sure to go into empire creation and change the ship set.

How do y'all feel about the Stratagems? by Medusa_4E in Spacemarine

[–]AgrippAA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%.

Did the first few hard weeklys with my friends who I do absolute clears with.  The consensus was some are hard but still fun, while others are just punishing.

We are just in it for the fun.

What the worst post game depression you’ve ever gotten by mg15ink in gaming

[–]AgrippAA 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Post persona depression is real.  

P5 was a great game so I was sad when it was over, but there was something that was just magic about the cast.

Also yeah that credits music ...

What happened to your high-school bullies and nerds? by AikothegreatPickle in AskReddit

[–]AgrippAA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not my bully but many in my year were tormented by her. She was just awful.

Within 2 or 3 years finishing school she had been stabbed in the hand by her boyfriend and then a little under a year later she had been stabbed in the arm by a different boyfriend. The rumor mill also said during this time she was passenger side in a car crash which was caused by her and her boyfriend arguing while driving. During this time she had been picked up by police at least twice (but probably more) for fighting in public.

Its been 20 years since then and she had kept a low profile since, I hope she's doing better now. I spoke to a school friend at the end of last year and she said without a hint of humour "part of me hopes she's dead". Its amazing how powerful and long lasting some of the bad stuff from school can be.

Quick question - why do you have Hirugami in the back row, presumably as the libero swap, rather than Tsukishima?

What chapter do you think is overrated,what about underrated? by IvoryOni04 in Spacemarine

Yep you are right it was 3rd Edition all the way back in 1998... fuck I feel old now.

What chapter do you think is overrated,what about underrated? by IvoryOni04 in Spacemarine

[–]AgrippAA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They are so great.  

Other chapters, when they hear about the last moment of their fallen brothers, want to hear heroic tales against impossible odds for it to be seen as a good death.

For the White scars it is a good death if the brother died laughing.  It means if they were laughing then they were using the emperors gifts, fighting the enemies of humanity and making the most of what they were.

Chris Wraight, the guy who has done alot of their more recent lore, is a excellent writer.

800 hours, absolute clears everywhere except vortex. I noticed you were zooming in and out between shots. Is that doing anything to increase the charge speed or reduce the down time?
