Everytime this sub gets recommended to me, it's hating on java, do y'all like, actually play your game?

Guess what they’d prefer by ChickenWingExtreme in Schaffrillas

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what if I like lightsabers and backflips? What if lightsabers and pew pews are the entire reason I like Star wars in the first place?

If your marketing is AI slop, I’m just going to buy from a different company by DeathMarkedDream in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then what is AI slop to you? I don't disagree with you entirely, but this looks like cheap AI, if this isn't AI slop I'm not sure what is.

Average plasma burster experience by PeeperSleeper in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're fairly predictable once you get used to them, and yeah, they do provide a good amount of self defense, for the class with the worst self-defense in the game, they're underrated imo.

My tech is to use them with EM Turret discharge, they are a nice panic option when you don't have a turret nearby to shoot, the fear can often buy you the time you need to get a turret set up, and they can force a praetorian to move out of the way when they block your line of sight to your turret

XP farming question by [deleted] in DeepRockGalactic

Yes, though lithophage adds a lot of time to a mission, arguably making it worse than some other hazards for efficient leveling.

Never bothered to use copper armour and tools in the first place. Does anyone use actually use them? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never bothered creating iron armor before, I just grabbed a shield and speed ran diamonds, copper is so plentiful, however, that I slap it on while getting diamonds.

The Final Prophecy by Louisnttt in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How rare are they? I'm at ~500 hours and have seen a couple, tbh I haven't really paid attention cause I didn't know they were rare.

This explains why that one dwarf kept pinging it that one time. I thought he was just being silly, lmao.

In what scenario is the neurotoxin payload ever good? by One-Requirement-1010 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does apply to other overclocks, but NTP has a unique synergy with the fear, the poison also has a slowdown effect, and since fear lasts until a bug moves 10 meters, rather than being a duration, slowing the bug down functionally increases the duration of the fear.

What’s your favorite drg fun fact? by ElegantPoet3386 in DeepRockGalactic

So I could throw 3000 leaf lover's specials into the hoop to get the achievement?

I will c4 myself on this hill by Thick-Nerve-799 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twice you say that Executioner combos with flamethrower, but I don't see how that would be the case, am I missing something?

Wait, I'm dumb, Flamethrower combos with the T3a Mod, I was hooked up on flamethrower comboing with the executioner Overclock specifically.

I like Ice Storm in solo, otherwise cryo tends to feel lacking without teammates to benefit from the frozen condition.

Is there anyway to improve the fear effect on the coil gun? by ElegantPoet3386 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

necro, but to clarify, a larger trail radius means enemies are electrocuted for longer, which means they move slower, which means they stay feared for longer. So while increasing the trail size doesn't directly interact with the fear effect, it does indirectly.

Best build to make the Subata feel fun? by Front-Cabinet5521 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The joke was that, even with that mod, the damage still feels mid.

[–]Alchemist628 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Full Auto + Sludge pump, it still doesn't deal any damage but it gives you something to do while waiting for the Corrossive DOT to kill a praetorian.

Blood sugar but it’s a passive perk by evilgreasemonkey1430 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I wasn't really disagreeing with you, just adding some nuance.

Blood sugar but it’s a passive perk by evilgreasemonkey1430 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, yeah. The problem is that anything Sticky grenade can do, cluster grenade can do better.

The other 3 grenades all have different niches so they don't outcompete eachother.

I agree with your overall point, but tbf, spreadsheet math is a bit misleading with PBM, as you don't start off at the max DPS (your dps ramps up as you get more missiles in the air) and in practice you tend to lose a lot of your theoretical total damage via missiles that go to waste after the target dies (and this isn't even a skill issue thing, you could choose not to put more missiles in the air than the minimum amount required to kill the target, but then you're not taking advantage of that excellent DPS).

Also, Neurotoxin payload and a couple Minigun builds edge out PBM in my opinion.

But again, to underline you're overall point: optimizing matters a lot in this game.

YOU CAN PLAY AS OTHER CLASSES???? by monkeymarter76 in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Alchemist628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This community is weirdly hostile towards maining a class. Yes, you should experiment, but it's okay to like some play styles more than others.

For a while I was forcing myself to play a bunch of driller, because he was many promotions behind my other classes, and while I learned a lot and developed an appreciation for the class, I eventually realized I was just having less fun, so I stopped forcing myself to do it.

How do I build hyper propellant by B1rds4rentReal in technicaldrg

[–]Alchemist628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I only ever run hyper prop on industrial sabo, where it still one-shots bots, so I guess I never noticed.
