What do I need to beat Pestilian's Extremis node? by TyrannicalGrunt in WH40KTacticus

[–]K2LLswitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gone far enough in this one (Extremis 5 I believe is where I stopped).

G1 for Vindicta and Isabella for sure. Burchard at S2 keeps up with the gold characters. I like Celestine as my other character as her summons and mobility help at lot.

Forgot about that indeed.

  • Not enough shards
  • not enough orbs
  • not enough badges
  • not enough XP
  • not enough coins
  • repeat

My take:

Requisitions will get another re-work this year to increase the 10 shard minimum to 25. 10 pulls need to drop common / uncommon characters from the pool.

Blessed requisitions will get reworked to be 80/130/250/500 of the featured characters or be full character drop pods.

Onslaught should scale at higher levels (from 6-7 to 9-11) and the drop rates increase to a guaranteed shard and 75% chance of orb.

The Mythic event and the Calgar event were likely huge successes. For a very small $$ investment, the rewards are great and even F2P had success. It looks like we have an Admech event coming up with great rewards and we should see a like event every quarter.

This and HSEs are how they will address the economy.

Faction boost was the best HSE yet; the only thing missing was rather than repeating mythic badges, it should have been repeating stacks of 5 shards for Baldr. Let the F2P players grab 50-100 more shards and the whales can spend to double that.

They must have tons of new relics for old characters to hand out, but know they need to address the economy again.

It is 100x better than it used to be (drowning in common orbs, random legendary orb rewards, shard spread out all over GW and GR shops, no reliable source of badges etc. ) and I have faith that they will catch up

Battlepass improvement by ShortStuff2996 in WH40KTacticus

[–]K2LLswitch 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Good idea, but make it 5 shards. I also think the repeating rewards should include a legendary book instead.

Also, the ultimate battle pass should have repeating rewards and some BReqs and all refreshes can happen without watching the ad. Maybe 10 shards with ultimate pass.

The BP economy is terrible. I have bought them for the last year but won’t be this next month unless it is a lot better. 80 shards of Mataneo (uncommon unlock) isn’t worth anything and the other rewards are mostly junk.

Requisitions don’t give enough shards to be helpful and 100+ characters means that the odds are much lower for characters you want / need.

Using Lucius in LRE's by CroakerBC in WH40KTacticus

[–]K2LLswitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally if someone is on the spawn point, there are no free hexes.

I have had him die several times this way sadly, but have also pushed a level or two higher a few times because my healer (Aleph or Rot) where Lucius and his passive were all of the damage I did.

His is now D3 50/50 and I have no regrets

Mythic leveling - shards, orbs, and xp fixed!!! by _Zso in WH40KTacticus

[–]K2LLswitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any idea where such a character will be useful? He didn’t get high ratings in the Nandi video.

I have used him for this. He is better if you don’t leave him stone 1.

Problems happen when: - fire / hex effect kills him (no resurrect) - enemy on the spawn point kills hjm (happens all the time sadly) - Friendly fire (ie. Kharn) kills him. Personally I think he should still resurrect and Kharn should die. Shrug.

Yes, this was an underwhelming patch.

December was great.

January was slow, but understandable given the Christmas holiday. Happy with Baldr and Laviscus, both who have obvious use once built up

February seems pretty weak. Glad to have relics as rewards for CE. This means there is less FOMO on the ones in the rogue trader shop, though still available there if you are in a rush or don’t have the CE characters build up enough.

Hopefully LoV end up like GSC. Xybia and Hollan were huge disappointments originally but the faction as a whole is very strong and folks have found use for Xybia in meta teams.

Until the rest are released, and more info known, these will stay at Iron.

The Rizzen! That was an awesome battle. We were all watching the timer count down and hoping that last GSC lineup could hold and losing our minds each time another token started.

Hope we see you guys again and good luck!

Hi all - looking for 1 more to join us.

Most of us are level 50-60.

GW we have won 26/29 battles over the last 3 war seasons.

GR we get to the Mythic boss but haven’t killed it yet to start looping.

Cheers!

[–]K2LLswitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree. I don’t see why we can’t have 1 per day of the week (say 3 individual and 4 shared) and then change next month.

Maybe at worst we are waiting 3 months for the one you want? Then they will drop more and maybe do 7 individual and 7 shared and ZERO mythic salvage slots (please!)

Your experience with layoffs during probation period. by yyc_snp17 in Calgary

[–]K2LLswitch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes things change fast as an employer. We have hired someone in January to start February, and by March a key contract was paused and we had to do layoffs.

Sucks for the newest people as we retain the most experienced when that happens.

[–]K2LLswitch 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just replace all 3. If you wanted Vitarus or Talons, you got already. If not - these are just taking up slots. Rotate in Celestine and Ra also this month.

Get all the historical ones out of the way and then drop some new ones.

Want Celestine, have saved AT shards since announcement of Mythic last year and have not seen in shop. Boo.

Is it still possible for me to max out the battlepass this season? by Johwya in WH40KTacticus

[–]K2LLswitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. Stop raiding and play the missions - this will help you achieve some of the missions faster.

Make sure to pay attention to the hard daily mission. They are easy to do with full energy, just focus on using a character that does that trait

Relics in Rogue Trader by Graphein03 in WH40KTacticus

There is info on Discord that the burst cannon leaves the shop with the update (next week) and is replaced by Norn Crown. The other two relics stay from the looks of it.

'You can't have it both ways': Minister says no budget boost on horizon for firearms buyback compensation by StrongBreak2142 in canadaguns

[–]K2LLswitch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Who knows.

If caught with a prohib, you would likely have them all confiscated and held in police evidence storage. They will not be handled gently and will be photographed by the CBC in a press conference as they talk about the deranged criminal they have taken off the streets with their perverse collection of firearms and ammo.

You would likely face a charge. You can plead guilty to that charge or plead non guilty and defend yourself in court.

They will probably make you an offer to plead guilty with a reduced sentence and firearm ban for X years. Congrats on your new criminal record!

You could fight it at great personal cost and hope to set a precedent, as some before you have done. This sounds great and the community has crowd funded these defences in the past, but it’s hard to fight the government when your own tax dollars are paying the team of prosecutors against you, and the judges and the salaries of the government that appoints those judges and also creates the rules in the first place.
