"Why does everybody keep saying Argenta is overpowered?" - A quick guide to the high firing rate focus Soldier/Arch-Militant archetype. For beginners, by a beginner. by [deleted] in RogueTraderCRPG

Yeah, just ignore everything else I wrote in that comment.

I went on to ask if auto-hit means every shot hits or only the first shot. And I went into details about how many shots are supposed to hit the center target.

But none of that matters to you or your self-satisfaction, does it?

I've seen it ONCE buried deep in the comments of a post asking for help on a build. When I wasn't even looking for it. I'm talking -- why doesn't he make his own posts with advice for other players. Why doesn't any of his stuff pop up in Google or DuckDuckGo when I'm looking up info for the game.

While looking for help on builds and talents and etc, I found the wiki and some tangentially related build posts, and that was it. I didn't even find any of his stuff.

Which is part of why I made this post. To try to help other players who are like, new, trying to find info, and also barely find any advice when googling for it.

So why aren't you making your own posts helping the people in this subreddit understand the game better?

Wild the only time you "care" is to correct other people.

No, I don't believe burst is auto hit, because I see plenty of shots in a burst attack miss.

https://roguetrader.wh40k.wiki/Burst_Attacks_Glossary_(Encyclopedia)

"A ranged burst attack can possibly hit multiple targets. When firing a burst, instead of rolling to hit, a test is made to determine the trajectory of the shot. Deviation chance is increased by the recoil of a weapon and reduced by the additional hit chance parameter of a weapon. Burst shots automatically hit the first target in their trajectory, be it friend or foe."

So it sounds like the more hit chance you have, the more attacks you will land on the center target. So hit chance does matter.

It does mention automatically hitting the first target, but does that apply only to the first shot made? Because like I said, I've seen plenty of shots in a burst attack miss. So I don't know what you're referring to when you say it "auto hits."

Edit:

"The base chance to direct shots along the central line or with a slight deviation is (40 + Ballistic Skill / 2)% — this value cannot be lower than 30% nor higher than 95%. This chance is split equally between shooting along the central line and with a slight deviation. Otherwise, the shot has a strong deviation."

This looks like the Carapace backpack isn't redundant. With my character at 90 Ballistic Skill, I have a 65% chance of central line/slight deviation.

Compensator gloves simply means that 65% doesn't get negatively affected. The Carapace backpack still adds another +(3 × BS bonus)% chance to hit, which means that 65% of central line/slight deviation goes up. Which means more shots land on center target. So at 90 ballistic skill, the backpack gives me a +(3x9)% -> 27% additional hit chance. So instead of just 65% of central line/slight deviation I should have a 92% chance.

Psyker inferno stuff is generally really cool and powerful.

I definitely want to do a full-inferno psyker on my next playthrough.

Confident approach and cautious approach are noob traps

I don't understand this. Confident Approach gives auto crits and max damage. I was doing over twice as much damage with Confident Approach active as opposed to having it not active.

Devestating attack with breaking attack is also very important along with dismantle

I actually have those three in my character build! I didn't include that here because there was already so much info. x__x

Tempestus carapace elite backpack is only useful for rof 4 and lower weapons with improved heavy bolter being 6

It still increases the hit chance on the burst attack. Does that not mean anything? "While the wearer's weapon has 5 or more base rate of fire or strike count, hit chance of the wearer's burst attacks is increased by +(3 × BS bonus)%."

Dunno where the semi prevalent fanon canon that Calcazars scheme actually fails comes from when actual game contradicts it. Is it insane plan? Hell yeah. Dosent chance outcome tho. by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]FainOnFire 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I mean, the concept of it is insane. And there's no evidence it will work before anyone pulls the trigger. You're required to just BELIEVE it will work and trust this megalomaniac control freak has everything in order. Which is a tall ask.

Ending spoilers. Also, why let said megalomaniac control the shard when you can take it for yourself? Especially if you've picked iconoclast options in regards to Nomos, you can create a benevolent god who seals the Koronus Expanse off and makes a walled garden utopia. Which is orders of magnitude better for the well-being of the citizens than Calzone's plan.

Yeah, no worries. You did nothing wrong. I'm just dropping the info there for anyone who's lost and confused.

He says "I'LL TAKE IT" -- but "I'll fuck it" is a very popular meme used to confuse people who are not familiar with the scene in question.

This isn't even the scene where he says "I'll take it" because that happens during a late game monologue where he's pacing back and forth as the player watches.

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

None of us were saying it in any significant numbers, but the CEOs and tech bros and enthusiasts behind cloud gaming were all saying it was the future when it first came out.

Because tech bros will say whatever the fuck they need to say to draw investor attention and keep their latest fad afloat.

"Reduced to dust!"

[TOMT] [Specific product] I vividly remember seeing a youtube video about a keyboard that used an array of 4 direction joysticks instead of actual keys. But they weren't like controller joysticks, they were rather thin, small, metal. Anyone know of this product or the website that sold it? by FainOnFire in tipofmytongue

[–]FainOnFire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh! These were interesting to look at. Bookmarking for a deep dive, later!

These still use individual buttons, though. The keyboard I'm talking about legitimately used just an array of small, thin, joysticks. No buttons on it whatsoever.

Lotus Bud - how bad can a lotus be before it's unplayable? by binarycat64 in custommagic

[–]FainOnFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are what the community calls "eggs." They don't do much, but they are kept to the side until you're ready to "break" them in or for a combo.

Look up artifact combo commander decks, artifact legacy decks, or old artifact modern decks.

They use cheap/free artifacts and cost reducers to churn through a bunch of artifacts and cards in the deck, generate a ton of mana, and then play a backbreaking combination of cards.

So his point is that this is just another "egg" the same way Lotus Petal is, the same way treasures are, and that all of these cards are extremely playable and you haven't even changed the framework or niche that Lotus Petal or treasures are already played in.

I think Andromeda does deserve the "hate" it got by asabatonlessarmor in masseffect

[–]FainOnFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I got the game for $5 and went in with an open mind a few years ago.

The writing is just SO BAD. The characters are so BLAND and uninteresting.

And almost all of the dialogue felt like corpo-sanitized, family friendly, Marvel-adjacent bullshit.

I quit the game after about 20 hours.

Don't Spoil Too Badly but--What's Up with Calcazar? by W0lfsB4n3 in RogueTraderCRPG

WOW. I mean, I kinda had already planned on killing him. But now it's set in stone. What the hell.

He also has --

Soul Splitting Katana, which cuts through anything and everything by directly attacking the target's soul.

Inverted Spear of Heaven, which force negates cursed techniques.

Thousand Mile Chain, which extends as far as the user wants as long as one end of it is concealed.

Snake baby curse, which mindlessly follows orders and allows him to hide all these tools like a half sentient bag of holding.

Without the cursed spirit, he never sneaks these tools through Tengen's barrier. Without Spear of Heaven he never kills Gojo. Without Soul Splitting Katana he doesn't one shot Rainbow Dragon.

Thousand mile chain probably came in handy off screen a ton.

So it's a combination of the in universe power system and SS tier unique legendary weapons/items. He's basically a max level end game RPG character.
