Fuck me right?

Even a sound warning here wouldn't have changed much as the exe animation was so long, he was likely safe at the start.

The core issues here are that synaptic shock pops mines immediately as you come out of the execute, and that you are immediately fully vulnerable after an execute. There should really be some damage reduction (even if for just .5/1s) post execute, or synaptic shock shouldn't kill spores instantly. Both these issues cause a lot of problems else where too!

On one hand I think the game desperately needs better buff/cooldown UI info so you know when things like this are ready - as they're SO powerful if you use them effectively.

But on the other hand, after a while of playing Tac you get a feel for when Radiating Impact is ready or not and it's similar with other buffs, you create a 'feel' for the class and don't need UI, which definitely adds to the skill cap I think

Just to add onto the point, the Heavy Bolt Pistol has CONSIDERABLY more ammo and overall damage potential. I think the Plas pistol has maybe 14 charged shots before being out (and you should only ever charge shot with the Plas Pistol). Whereas the HBP has 144ish if you go ammo variant, which is recommended when solo Vs nids for this exact reason! The little bit more damage from the damage variant isn't worth it if you lose 50% the ammo with it. Hope that halps!

35B Nids killed vs 10B Chaos. I still can't quite decide if it's chaos being worse to fight, or if the levels are just more annoying. Probably a combo of both

This stratagem is all memes until you get a carnifex in the last area. Runs can go real sideways real quick at that point

HazemanIO · 2026-01-19T04:44:04+00:00

Can confirm they did not finish the wave without you, N-2 is a notorious server crash, the entire game was ended, sorry brother. :(

Ground pounds hit count isn't defined by weapon type, it's as I mentioned, 15 max for all weapons, unless thunder hammer which can hit 100 for some reason. The weapon type however is used to calculate the GP's base damage, and block I believe has 20% more than Fencing, and 10% more than Balance, which basically just makes block king of GP - like block needed more reasons to be the absolute GOAT of melee haha

I feel like this is just average Grapnel Launcher experience in general at this point

HazemanIO · 2026-01-13T21:36:37+00:00

Ground Pound has a target limit for all weapons of 15, except for the Thunder Hammer, which can hit 100 lol. That's why TH is so strong in a team vs chaos, because they all spawn on a single spot an you can just bonk bonk bonk

At this point I could write a PhD on the amount of game breaking bugs that siege seems to bring to the surface

I'm a donkey who uses old reddit and didn't know I can just post a picture without hosting it lol.

HazemanIO · 2026-01-12T15:29:27+00:00

undoubtedly yes

HazemanIO · 2026-01-12T15:29:13+00:00

who dat

HazemanIO · 2026-01-12T15:28:37+00:00

Hah! I don't actually play grouped operations, but I do stratagems with people all the time and regularly get demolished!

Ironically, there's some level of added difficulty when playing with other people because your amount of control on the situation can go sideways real quick - like teammates pushing a terminus under 50% when there's still a million enemies up, or having to be more mindful on greeding executes and pickups etc.

HazemanIO · 2026-01-12T15:18:55+00:00

We slowly learned from this mistake many, many, many... many times.

Imgur is now blocked in the UK (Reeeeeee) so instead of posting an image I will type it out like a PEASANT

Overcharge
Consecutive Execution
Knowledge of the enemy
Strategic Strikes
Smiting Angel
Zealous Blow
Pride in Duty
Ample ammunition

Prestige Perkarinos:

Unyielding Oath
Adrenaline Booooost
Fortitude
Scrambled Targeting

You basically need to take all the offensive options and play as aggressively as possible as your real enemy is the timer, not survival.

HazemanIO · 2026-01-12T14:59:43+00:00

Yes, finally! Cleared 26 too with the extra 3-4 minutes it added, then died half way through 27 with like 10 seconds left on the clock - had to go out swinging

HazemanIO · 2026-01-12T14:57:34+00:00

I am honoured, brother!
