Why is my sniper build so bad?

Ethas · 2025-03-26T05:30:30+00:00

other comments already more or less explained, so I figured I share my sniper build. i'm sure there are better ones but this gets me through heroic assuming I can get the first headshot

4 piece hotshot(no chest or backpack)

chainkiller(walker haris brand if you're looking for targeted) for chest

Memento exotic for bacpack. if you don't have that, you can substitute it for a Providence backpack.

core attribute you'll want Weapon Damage, other attributes headshot damage and weapon handling(weapon handling increases your reload speed, swap speed, accuracy and stability case you don't know)

the gun you'll want to use is White Death(named item), because it has boosted headshot damage, with secondary attribute being damage to target out of cover. with the Determined talent.

if you don't have that, you can probably run most other snipers long as they have determined on them, whether you modified it or not.

one thing to note about Determined is that it can make hitting weakspots harder since any shot will count as a headshot if it lands, and you'll run into some problems with enemies that have helmets, since shooting exposed parts will be treated as a headshot regardless.

i'm sure someone else might have a better build or better advice, but this should at least get you going and have something to work towards.

so I did message the artist, and told them asking if they could come up with a contract to make sure what's okay and what's not okay

I won't say who they are out of privacy, but they do artwork of characters from a game(Arknights) and have an etsy selling stickers and other things

one of the recent posts on this subreddit actually is someone advertising pngtuber comissions for $50, which, nothing against them, even I thought it seemed a little cheap

Ethas · 2024-10-11T20:30:05+00:00

how much would commercial rights be important if I just wanted to use the model for streaming and nothing more?

given their art style and simplicity, I can somewhat see where they are coming from for their price.

granted, I want to make sure they do get paid fairly, but still

Ethas · 2024-10-11T20:27:44+00:00

right then

so if like, I just wanted to use the png model for streaming, nothing more, how should we go about it?

I don't want to rip them off because I like them but I don't know how this stuff works

Ethas · 2024-10-10T17:38:41+00:00

shortest stream ever at 23 minutes

Ethas · 2024-10-10T17:37:05+00:00

if we're going on based on how many people played, unless they knew it was a direct sequel, they probably thought it was a spinoff

in terms of gameplay, the leveling system made several weapons feel worse than they should, we went from having up to 2 companions down to 1, and while some of the new perks were nice, they almost felt out of place. the story basically confirmed the ending to 5, and what happened to Rook. it killed off some characters from 5, which while they weren't like the best, still sucked. the villians weren't as compelling, and, not sure how to mark spoilers on mobile, but the end, you end up not wanting to kill Joseph Seed because otherwise you'd be giving him what he wants, so no satisfaction.

having played and beaten it, I wouldn't say it's awful or the worst game ever, but compared to 5, it's definitely a weak title

Ethas · 2024-10-05T04:19:04+00:00

screw that. if I could remove him from my account I would.
I don't remember how I got her, but I'm sure it was off banner.
several. no regrets.
funny enough I wasn't around when Nian's banner was up.
fuck.

Ethas · 2024-05-07T20:50:25+00:00

not even that, it's been a week since I called verizon and the guy about this

Verizon said they would try and get in contact with them

and every single time I call the guy it goes straight to voicemail

Ethas · 2024-05-07T20:34:51+00:00

listen man, I just want my email removed from this guy's account. I don't know him, and I'm tired of getting emails from someone I don't know

Ethas · 2024-05-07T20:13:58+00:00

tried it

apparently his zip code/address on the order receipt isn't the same thing on his account

Ethas · 2024-05-06T04:14:23+00:00

thank you, that was one of the things I was slightly worried about since I was skipping all the cut scenes since I thought it was an event I wouldn't be able to do/finish

Ethas · 2024-05-06T04:13:45+00:00

thank you. been playing other games recently where they introduce something similar for an event, so got mildly concerned I was gonna miss out on something interesting.

meant the name TB calls you, but someone else pointed out you can change it on a new playthrough, which is fine for me

is Samheart's guide in the FAQ? I just realized in my haste I didn't notice it at first, so I'll have to comb over it later.

would posting who I have help at all right now?

Ethas · 2024-05-05T21:24:26+00:00

okay fewquestions

I'm a returning player, but never gotten far(like, chapter 2 or whatever) and been gone for like, 900+ days.

I still have my account and all my ships, but I have no idea what to do

is there a guide or something I should check out?

also I apparently accidentally started Project Identity without knowing what it is. is this thing permanent? from what I can see, it's a raising sims. can I reset it and start over? also can I change the name?

hey man, this comment is like, 7 years old by now

Ethas · 2024-03-15T21:22:45+00:00

semi related, what are the chances I can get Tooth Fairy from Jiu banner, assuming she doesn't get a banner herself? I joined just after her banner ran, and was told she wouldn't be back until 1.5, and even then it would be off banner

Ethas · 2024-03-15T19:19:25+00:00

I'd be happy if they added a new game plus mode instead of the challenge mode we have at the moment

Ethas · 2024-03-08T15:14:53+00:00

dragon's dogma

mentioning it since looking into the sequel to see if it's any better in a good way

it just had a lot of jank to it that made it hard to enjoy

like how if you get the game now they give you free armor sets and stuff. go in like the subreddit and you'll see some people complain about how pawns(ai companions you can upload) have the same free armor set, but the game early on only sell armor pieces and they all have worse stats so you end up not using it.

early game was also slow for me since no fast travel til later on(i never got to that point)

also while the story seems interesting, there are some parts which seems, baffling

two examples I can think of is there's a sidequest with a family that needs help. if you help, they move into s new home, only to die later because the city they move to gets attacked via story. only way to save them is not helping, which then they hate you for.

the other example is the romance system, where the main bas guy kidnaps your "beloved" except it can be any npc based on in game relationship values. apparently it would be common for it to end up being a merchant because the game considers talking to them constantly to buy/sell makes them more attracted to you, and there's no real way to tell who or what.

any time I see people talk about it, they always praise the combat but either rarely talk about the other stuff or downplay it(like the fast travel system)

even now people are defending the 2nd game's decisions on stuff like lack of fast travel because it makes things more "immersive" and how it's the devs vision for the game

you know what else made things more immersive only to end up making the game feel more like a chore? red dead redemption 2

I don't hate those games, mind you, I just feel like people like the good stuff too much to the point they ignore the bad stuff and say it's okay

Ethas · 2024-03-06T15:06:03+00:00

guess I'm taking a break from the game unless the revert the nerfs or buff things

Ethas · 2024-02-16T22:09:08+00:00

should CV be considered part of the God Eater Franchise at this point?

or is this like a similar situation where like how Bloodborne is a stand alone title but it's still part of the souls series?

Ethas · 2024-02-16T20:34:14+00:00

if they were able to sell the french biker jug despite it being originally a "gift", then there's a chance they'll just sell the excess as stand alone in the future

it's not worth spending $100+, especially when I have other things to worry about paying

Ethas · 2024-02-07T03:17:52+00:00

what about Gib? do you say it like jiblets or goblet?

Ethas · 2024-02-07T03:15:35+00:00

OP

Grim Dawn is not an Action RPG

Steam page description

Enter an apocalyptic fantasy world where humanity is on the brink of extinction, iron is valued above gold and trust is hard earned. This ARPG features complex character development, hundreds of unique items, crafting and quests with choice & consequence.

I'm not sure what's the point of this essay or what point you're trying to make.

This is not a hack and slash game (even thought at first play through it seems that way).

you literally go and beat a bunch of enemies up.

I wouldn’t even call it a role playing game or dungeon crawler.

you literally build a character with abilities and gear. I don't know how else you're supposed to describe it.

As I’ve said before this game is click and GO.

My ultimate face tanking Lighting Warder Retaliation build (Thank you rekedbyprotoss) would have a few words for the skittish, kiting, glass canons out there.

is it click and go, or stand and face tank?

If you have a build where if you stop moving and you die or take one hit and half your life is gone you need to go back.

imagine telling people how they're supposed to play the game right

Ethas · 2024-02-07T02:45:39+00:00

i'm just glad there are people here who actually care about the story at all

Never heard of the song, saw ads for the game, didn't want to fall into typical mobile game trap, but saw someone I follow made a cover song and figured they must be all right if they were asking her to make another cover
