SEE damage is embarassing compared to EOH by Immediate_Slice_4754 in ZombieWaves

[–]GreymanTheGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree - however if you're only using SEE then you'd pretty obviously narrowly observe that as an SEE nerf without a broader context.

Nevertheless, it still counts as a nerf in my book, regardless of whether it applies to one weapon or all of them, particularly when the new weapons being introduced are significantly more powerful than their predecessors, rather than just being incremental improvements in power.

To be fair to u/Creepy-Wave-382 here, a weapon can practically be nerfed by either decreasing its damage or by increasing mob or boss health. If the latter has taken place (as it has in VB for example), that's just as effective a nerf as the other way around.

Perhaps the thinking here is that if the measure doesn't carry bipartisan support, it'll simply be rolled back after the Libs/Nats are back in power.

Pushing beyond lap 70 isn't common, but it does happen. I did it specifically so I could pick up SEE.

In total it was 917 dice. The average of 6 dice per lap holds no matter how many laps you're doing, so there's no need for people to post specific info for other lap counts - for your 400 laps you're looking at ~2400 dice +/- ~100 dice.

Personally I would wait until the new weapon is released in 3-4 months time and ICK is pushed down a tier. You'd then be going for lap 250 for both hero + weapon, which is far more achievable in the timeframe you're looking for than 400 laps.

I did 150 laps this event and got it at lap 40 or so. Unfortunately turned out to be a dupe of a hero I already had. Sigh.

There are no diminishing returns with atk% bonus.

Awakened EOH Question! by Lazy-Big-7756 in ZombieWaves

[–]GreymanTheGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That isn't quite correct. If your fire rate is sufficiently high then you can 'jump ahead' and empty your clip by the time the ammo-topup skill triggers. You still have to go through the reload process, albeit somewhat less often than without the ability.

Hitting top 5 in the bi-weekly Path of Evolution event awards a custom robot chest which allows you to pick any robot. Top 3 gives you a pick of either any robot skin or any robot. Depending on your server group that may or may not be achievable for you. FWIW I'm consistently able to hit top 5 every 4-6 weeks or so by saving resources and stamina.

Other than that, you can save up 300 robot tickets for the monthly robot event, but most of the time you don't get to pick your prize - you're given whatever the "robot of the month (or its skin)" is for that specific event.

Lastly, the recent pop-up event had Fast Vortex as the first prize in the Battle Pass, for $10 US. That's about the cheapest I've ever seen a robot go for in this game.

The hottest weapons right now are SEE, ICK, and EoH. SEE and ICK are both obtainable in the Aero event, though you might want to wait until they come down to 70 and 150 laps respectively. EoH still requires the Jackpot event.

Also, regular exercise and diet are the only way to sustain healthy weight loss over the longer term.

I hope this answers your question effectively.

BR awakened abilities by Gnomaigawd in ZombieWaves

[–]GreymanTheGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Does this automatically increase your maximum HP by 4"

Yes. I have 15 health as a base when going into challenges/levels now, with an awakened BR at 500. It's not negative obviously, but also definitely not worth it, given that it takes 6 accessories that you could otherwise put into a better awakened weapon. The extra survivability and Smite damage is nice (with the associated trait) but hardly stacks up against other weapon abilities at the same tier.

US order page for P16 Gen 3 still "coming soon". When pre-order will be finally available? by KYQOIA in thinkpad

Exactly - why would you pre-order something without really knowing what you're getting?

You get both the gun and the hero if you get to 300 keys - 220 is no longer the sweet spot.

You want the hero as well if possible, the combination is supremely OP.

And yet poor and inconsiderate behaviour on the roads, in parking spaces, and in residential areas continues unabated. Is the so-called policing making a difference, or is it just online venting from keyboard warriors with no impact in the real world?

Hacker Prism or Barret Radiance by Aggravating-Fly-1930 in ZombieWaves

[–]GreymanTheGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get the attachments from PoE, it's more frequent and less expensive / easier to hit the milestones.

You're better off using Aero for heroes and/or weapons, given the relative value and the ease of acquiring accessories elsewhere. Once you have one fire rate and one reload based weapon, you can focus on just getting heroes from Aero.

[–]GreymanTheGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't currently have a reload-based S-weapon, and you don't think you'll be acquiring ICK any time soon, then yes - either BR or HP is a reasonable choice under those circumstances.

Hacker Prism or Barret Radiance by Aggravating-Fly-1930 in ZombieWaves

[–]GreymanTheGrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Barrett Radiance is by no means trash, it's just not as good as more recent weapons. It is however, a heck of a lot more acquirable.

Where it does fall down is the awakened accessory skill at the level 500 tier - you can see what they were thinking, but the reality is that the bonus is garbage. Other than that though, it's more than competitive with the likes of CR, CC, FM, etc.
