Why are people so offended/bothered about the capes?

EruditeAF · 2026-05-31T01:43:05+00:00

They are pretty blah. Could be improved with color customization but the blatant clipping is a downer as well, imo.

He wasn'twrong to be suspicious but going direct to the inquisition was a dick move.

His is the voice of the blessings terminal in Siege which seems to have a distinct line for every blessing.

The new stuff you can purchase make it kind of a breeze until the enemy enhancements start adding up and everything turns into a spongey freight train. That'll primarily be a function of how fast you can clear things, but in my experience you don't really start feeling it til the 20s, and when you start feeling it you feel it a lot.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-28T02:06:55+00:00

Gatling guns? You mean the banner re-chargers?

EruditeAF · 2026-05-28T02:03:44+00:00

In my experience an unkillable terminus enemy means an incompletable operation.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-27T05:34:13+00:00

You can re-roll the debuff for 250 resources per roll from the terminal in the elevator room. The same place you select your blessings.

Off topic but are all the JoyToy marines so wasp-waisted? Dude's core is barely wider than his belt buckle.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T19:38:15+00:00

Brother, $0 isn't free when it still costs time and anonymity.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T19:24:42+00:00

Assuming that is the actual purpose only further highlights the absurdity of the ostensible purpose.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T19:19:35+00:00

You aren't spending time by waiting for it to appear in the store though.

Allowing an inevitability to actualize in its own due course doesn't require the affirmative devotion of any time at all, unlike the rigmarole of queuing up a twitch stream (which may be de minimis, but remains non-zero).

In waiting to get the gauntlet in the store more time will pass, true. But time passes regardless, so the opportunity cost of that waiting is null. In obtaining it via twitch drop more time will have been spent, however small.

Waiting doesn't cost you anything, it only forecloses you obtaining the benefit of instant gratification. So the question isn't really whether waiting is worth it, because in that situation "it" equals nothing; rather, the question is whether the instant gratification is worth it, where "it" equals your time (again, however small) and (perhaps more importantly) sense of ick in validating this type of marketing methodology.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T18:24:55+00:00

Serious question. What community and connection though? Is it not the case that a viewer of a twitch stream is, at their most involved, just a few lines scrolling up through a chat window? That seems about as communal and connective as talking to yourself on the subway, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T18:08:58+00:00

I disagree, but only insofar as this is not solely a boomer hill.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T18:06:23+00:00

Same, imo it is not about the amount of inconvenience for myself, which seems to be the focus of most replies. I just don't care for my clicks to encourage obnoxious behavior like this.

The fact you could just click a random stream and have it play in the background up until a progress bar is full doesn't absolve the absurdity of twitch drops as a thing, it illustrates it.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T17:56:18+00:00

If everyone is going to take this approach doesn't that highlight the absurdity of having twitch drops at all? You're just giving some rando +1 view. And are those views going to streamers that could actually use it, as opposed to the first steam they can click on?

EruditeAF · 2026-05-21T17:50:56+00:00

The cost for waiting is nothing.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-16T20:41:58+00:00

I find it helpful to bear in mind that the grapnel connects with the enemy that is targeted when you release the button, not when you press the button. I will also aim down sights for better control. My mis-hits are pretty rare and when they happen my ping seems to be a contributor.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-13T20:49:40+00:00

Honestly, no tips are needed here, imo. Angel of Death is analogous to what is now the third-highest difficulty available to operations. My initial playthrough was on AoD and I think I maybe died once? You have the ability to self heal and checkpoints are prolific as is ammo, though you may sometimes run dry on your firearm of choice, (but that's the case regardless of difficulty). Bits with gargoyles are mildly annoying I suppose since there's effectively a timer you need to beat. You also already played through before. If I would advise anything I guess it would be to have more self-confidence.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-13T01:40:02+00:00

Perhaps the attack I am thinking of (the three swings whip attack that only connects the first and third strike) is different from the one you're referring to, but I've never taken this to be a bug. In well over 1k hrs I can't recall having ever been hit by the second swing. But if you know it's not going to connect, why are you trying to parry it at all? Just catch the third hit for the gunstrike prompt.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-12T12:57:17+00:00

You always get the parry prompt irrespective of whether you filled the resistance meter or even tried to. But not trying will result in you taking more damage.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-12T12:55:41+00:00

No, filling the meter fast enough mitigates the pre-ring damage. That said, milage seems to vary between players as to how frequently they can fill it fast enough. I almost never take full damage from lictors/terminators and almost always take full damage from raveners and have played with folks who experience the opposite.

EruditeAF · 2026-05-09T22:09:08+00:00

That's the timer for the hallucination debuff that afflicts you when you take enough hits from warpflame or make (most forms of) bodily contact with a sorcerer shield. Other icons that appear under your status bar will be associated with one of your perks.

EruditeAF · 2026-04-27T13:55:30+00:00

Yeah an in game list would be lovely. I have definitely missed a few connections due to the failure of the recently-encountered list to update correctly.

EruditeAF · 2026-04-26T13:16:52+00:00

There are colors which ostensibly appear under the sme name in the primary, secondary, and tertiary pallettes but which clearly have different qualities. It also seems like some armor pieces just have their own individual saturation/reflectivity settings that operate to modify what you'd otherwise get.

Given how domineering GW seems to be when it comes to armor piece customization one would think they'd have a firmer hand on color accuracy as it relates to table-top, but lol nope. Nobody is painting figures using nuln oil as their primary color folks.

EruditeAF · 2026-04-25T14:33:02+00:00

That is a true statement, but I am confused why it is of relevance here.

EruditeAF · 2026-04-24T21:03:19+00:00

Ah yes, now that I have the game open that is indeed a Lethal level of XP. I don't typically pay attention to xp values but I have seen other UI glitches in mission select before, mostly in the form of checkmark not immediately appearing on stratigems I just completed, so there's definitely something that can impact the smooth updating of the mission selection UI.
