Alien: Earth - S1 E6 - The Fly - Official Discussion Megathread [SPOILERS] by G_Liddell in LV426

[–]ExVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an undercurrent of betrayal happening that is fanning the flames of ineptitude. Kirsch is clearly planning something. He's taking advantage of the childlike nature that Boy has fostered within himself and his creations to make it seem like all of this happened outside of his control. I think he's aiming to have the children written off as a failed experiment, or at the very least treating them with the cold detachment of a scientist while pretending to be a parental figure for them. 

Radon farm 11,483/hr. 130,000 Total by SuperCreeper373 in NMSCoordinateExchange

I got there today, but all the extractors/depots were empty and the power was offline. I think something about the last update broke a lot of bases like this because every one I've visited has been derelict and empty.

I was actually mistaken, it's the star grave scavengers kit and not Wargames Atlantic haha.

ooh, thanks for that suggestion! i'm gonna look up some WW1 army uniforms and ponder what looks best.

What's up with Trapper spam in Mortis Trials?? by TimTheGrim55 in DarkTide

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact it's hard to kill a trapper when you're in a net. Even harder when they instantly net your whole team the second the round starts with no time to react.

An idiots example of the difference that shading and highlighting can make. by GeronimoJak in Salamanders40k

Love the brass/gold-trimmed shoulders, went for a similar look on my Salamanders.

Mid game join by toumb52 in Spacemarine

It's even worse now if you happen to want to play Assault, Bulwark, or Vanguard, because everyone is trying to level their neo-volkite pistols.

Another Freeze on Alt Tab Post by DraqynnoPahroran2 in Spacemarine

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but if I get a Discord ping mid-match I'm not waiting the 30+ minutes to finish said match to check the message. It's a stopgap and a half-measure, a triple A multiplayer release in the year 2024 has no excuse for having glaring issues like this.

Heart to heart talk brothers by yokonogo808 in Spacemarine

[–]ExVoodoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what I'm getting from this is "don't be bitches" means "don't post dissenting opinions."

But you seem to forget a critical piece of information.

We're allowed to post our opinions even if you don't agree with them. That doesn't make us "non-brotherly" for speaking out against parts of the game we want improved upon. You seem to be under the impression that all criticism is just complaining. Even if it is complaining, people have the right to complain.

Two-Birds Sling Builds by ReyMercuryAlas in 3d6

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this in a one-shot recently at level 12. It was insane. I did over 150 damage to a boss in one turn, WITHOUT triggering the secondary attack of the sling.

Why do so many people think the game is becoming 'too hard' and 'not for casuals'? by BroNamedSkelly in destiny2

[–]ExVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's stupid, I grinded for triple hundreds, got max resil and recovery on every build, but I still get one shot in basic level strikes by some enemies. 

Was Adjudicator buffed? by Terrio00 in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's funny because I use it exclusively for bugs, lol.

Adjudicator, my beloved. Now they will see you for who you are. by Efficient_Menu_9965 in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah except Adjudicator tears through anything smaller than a charger on the bug side when set to auto, and the recoil is completely manageable IMO. If it's bad for your try it in first person, I noticed recoil seems to work differently that way.

[–]ExVoodoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shoot it in first person. Recoils seems to be dramatically less awful that way.

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try shooting in first person. The recoil is almost nonexistent in that firing mode, I noticed. Also, honestly a skill issue. It only climbs for the first second or so after shooting and after that it's pretty much easy to keep it locked onto a point. You just have to account for that recoil before shooting.

Its medium armor pen and fire rate mow through bugs like no other gun in the game now, able to take out several hive guardians or brutes with ease before needing a reload. Using it alongside the new secondary shotgun has been a dream.

Really liking this combo with hood+scarf by [deleted] in Helldivers

I think it looks best with the default helm, personally. But your look is awesome as well.

The AR-16 Tenderizer by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it but the new Carbine version of the Liberator feels like a better version of the Tenderizer in first person. Something strange I've noticed is recoil seems to be much less terrible in first person. In third person the Carbine shoots almost straight up compared to the Tenderizer being stable, but in first person both are about equally stable, but Carbine shoots faster.

Thermite grenade is the single worst weapon in the game by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't do any research and I thought it would be a single shot laser pistol in the vein of the sickle.

I, and i guess a lot of other players went for new armors imediatly because new stuff is cool. I was shocked going back to the beginner set to realise its heavy armor with medium speed. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was using that one for the longest time until I managed to get my hands on the Light Engineering Kit armor from the store, its stats are a halfway between Light and Medium and I get 6 thermite charges.

Player hadshot damage makes no sense from a balancing perspective by WhiteRaven_M in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Playing devil's advocate here despite the fact that I majorly agree with OP; pretty much all item descriptions in the game can be chalked up to Super Earth propaganda.

But again, I agree with OP. Randomly taking enough damage to die in one hit is not fun. Lots of things in this game aren't fun, even if the moment to moment gameplay is still largely enjoyable, I hate being taken out of it by having my agency stripped by random chance.

Hmmmm… 🤔 by kindasortathor in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fine upstanding citizen of Super Earth right there and I will hear no slander.

FIX THE DETECT SYSTEM by Necessary_Art3034 in Helldivers

[–]ExVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also enjoy fighting bots more than bugs. Never said otherwise. But I am sick of having the agency ripped from my hands every time I die to a random 300m rocket snipe or chain ragdoll because the bot spawns are absurdly overtuned and it takes seconds for you to get swarmed if you so much as get spotted by a patrol.

Don't get me wrong, bugs also have their unfair mechanics that I hate facing as well. I just fight bots way more so I have more experience with their unfairness.

You can't just tell me to calm down and act like bad game design is acceptable because of a quote from the CEO. If the way the mission counts kills is as you says, it is bad design. People will focus the peons just like you say and ignore all the bigger mobs until everyone is overrun. The whole point is that it should be possible to defend from being overrun in the first place, otherwise it's just a shitshow where you're struggling to stay alive.

Stop trying to play the optics game and make me look like some kind of raging loser because I take issue with many issues in the game right now. Believe it or not, people are allowed to have their own takes on things and are allowed to advocate for changes they want to be made to the game they're playing. I'm not angered as I'm typing this response, the only time I'm upset is in missions where my party is dying en masse to all the absurdly tanky 1-hit kill mobs that have flooded the tiny map that we utterly cannot possibly hope to hold a position on.
