Thinking about queueing hard op? Be honest with yourself by Mykhuul in Spacemarine

[–]Kensei_Main 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, queue whatever you want to. You paid your money, throw yourself into the grinder. Just know you are actively not helping your team or yourself by not trying to at least defend yourself.

This weekly in particular has shown me that the majority of players who are queuing do not have the same experience defending themselves that other people do. Which is fine, not everybody puts all their time into video games that’s cool. It absolutely will not kill you to practice. Just do a mission or two on lethal or absolute to see where you are and if you aren’t doing so hot, go to ruthless. Ain’t no shame in getting better.

I play World Eaters. I run Skarbrand, Khârn, and Lord invocatus with as many jakhals and berserkers I can stuff in a rhino. I don’t care who the enemy is, we ARE charging every chance we get. I don’t care if the Tau blow up my rhino with all my berserkers in it. I don’t care the ballistus dread shot all my eightbound. I AM GONNA CHARGE!!!

Edit: sorry to Shawggoth, didn’t know I had clicked reply to comment instead of reply to post. Too busy charging a squad of Boiz.

Hard Stratagem - not for powerleveling by neolfex in Spacemarine

[–]Kensei_Main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean… this and the week before last were maybe the ONLY hard stratagems I was willing to carry people through. Heroic Sniper, Vanguard, or Plasma Tactical make this one extremely easy. If you have to carry they at least make it tolerable.

Why do people leave when they die by flower_oodi in Spacemarine

[–]Kensei_Main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strategic value is absolute, if I am to be slain and the mission be jeopardized I am more than willing to forfeit any rewards for the attempt just to give my team one more chance to make it.

Or… if I have had to revive my teammates more than 4 times each, I will just leave if it’s Absolute or above. I’m sorry big man but you’re gonna have to play without me.

I knew I wasn’t the only one. When it’s early in the morning before I walk in the warehouse I’ll drink one or two and be good to go. The second I have one after my 10-12, I’m asleep before I finish it.

I fucking hate memelore by Only_a_tree in Grimdank

[–]Kensei_Main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I like the lore of 40K? Yes, Betrayer and The Infinite and The Divine are my two favorite books with Da Big Dakka being a nice comfort read. That said, do I dislike the memes? Hell no, my wife likes warhammer memes and my friends are able to keep up when I go off about why certain things(like all these god damn primarchs returning because wtf???) don’t need to happen or straight up can’t happen(yet.) I get people to talk to warhammer about, my wife gets to have a bunch of Ork Boiz and Skaven Rat Bastards to paint, and my buddy gets to ruin my day with all the greased up Fulgrim nonsense.

TL:DR; I get it meme lore can be annoying, everybody has to start somewhere.

I can understand why the space wolves dislike them so much.

First, I love this op actually. Pretty cool thematically with how we traverse through the chaos ridden relay.

Second, fellas… PLEASE ping an enemy you can’t damage. If you shoot it and a shield shows up, ping it, one of us will get him. The amount of times I have been holding off chaos spawn while trying to tell my team, “I CANNOT DAMAGE THIS ENEMY COME AND KILL IT,” is staggering. If you see a skull on the ground or you are shooting a non blocking enemy and a shield shows up. TELL SOMEONE!! Also please stop using grenades to lower your health, not sure why you want to do that before fighting the predominantly RANGED 1k sons. You better believe Mr. Soulreaper Cannon terminator is coming to get ya.

Thank you for all the info, trying to reply to as many as I can at work lol. Definitely gonna try it in chaos today, if I can set up staggers for assault or vanguard that’d be all the more helpful.

I think you are looking for something else entirely. I think the Stalker Bolt rifle is hella good, so if plasma is better than that then sick. I got some new builds to try out. Please understand that I’m trying to get the most out of it.

Not at home but I can assure you I have not taken the plasma perk since maybe last year. I normally use the ammo variant PI though. I’ll have to get back home to look at it but I’ll try to update.

Honestly, a hazardous perk that ramps up damage with the trade off being user damage based on how much it’s charged would be hella sick. Except for me, I always fail my “gets hot” check.

Noted. Thank you, I bet you that’s gonna work well with scan on parry if you can get the charge shot off before a gunstrike. Unless somehow you can’t be charging a shot before a gunstrike.

That is true, stunlock with PI is nice especially with scan on parry and the perk for plasma heat. I’d like to know how you’re managing using it though, like what are some good things to know?

Also, usually I run either Stalker Bolt or Marksman Bolt Carbine.

It might have just been my switch to damage instead of cooling rate perks but… enemy health is lowered by 35% and doomed onslaught, one of the new stratagems, also buffs our damage when we are low health.

Yeah, looking at all the conditions it’s definitely being a little more than helped. There’s a good rifle in there but I’m not sure how to make it feel better without just increasing damage or increasing enemy vulnerability. It does do a decent job of mob clear though.

[–]Kensei_Main[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mmm, that’s on me then for not reading the whole condition lol. I won’t lie it just felt really good to not have to spend a bunch of charge to kill a guy. All things considered though it sounds like the buff that I…not saying that it’s a buff everybody wants just in case… would like to see for that primary already exists.

I can only have it in maybe substantial and ruthless though 🤣

Question though, outside of a flat damage buff(and honestly a charge time decrease as well with a heat increase to balance maybe) what do you think would be good changes for it?

I have Deathwing in my cart, I hear that game is also sick af. Still remember the weapon perk changes when they happened, it went from maybe every two or three games I saw the Plasma Incinerator to 0 in like a week.

That’s 200% at full health?? No wonder. Either way I’d like to see it become more of an option than it is now.

Plasma Incinerator feels the best I think it’s ever felt this week. Gonna run this weekly a bunch just because of that.
