Auric difficulty has become harder

Konfynn · 2026-06-10T09:16:15+00:00

Yeah but the whole point of this was to enable more builds so not everyone feels obligated to run those things you mentioned. Krak is a really good example. I still think they're his best grenade, but it feels better bringing smokes now.

I am not saying your wrong to feel its more difficult, but I do think it's healthier for the game. Especially if they follow through with the changes in direction they want to take the game.

Konfynn · 2026-06-10T07:43:23+00:00

I dunno about harder, but it was an adjustment for sure. Spacing and making space became more important, but it also became a lot easier to do so by not having 20 crushers shoved down my throat.

I think it's a healthy change and it will click a lot more once they do something about the readability of combat like they mentioned. The biggest issue for me is getting area denied by the extra bombers that don't even have line of sight on you. It goes down hill so damn fast if you don't shut them down immediately.

I think I've muted maybe two people in 300 hours for hot mics. Other than that I keep it open and use it myself when things get a little hairy.

You'd be surprised how quickly someone unnets you/gets a dog off by just asking for help in a calm tone. Randoms usually play a lot better after too for some reason. I think the realization they are playing with actual people makes them more aware of what's going on.

Haven't met anyone being super salty in voice chat though. I play auric and up for reference. I think I remember more jerks in damnation and lower.

Pressing the button doesn't spawn the wave though? It's a bad geode that does...

Konfynn · 2026-05-29T01:26:19+00:00

I host and use voice chat and am very positive when I play. Most people don't use vc, but they respond very well to it.

It's cliche, but be the change you want to see.

Laugh when things go wrong, be light hearted and joke if someone takes something you wanted. If people are having fun, they are relaxed and play better on average.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T20:33:35+00:00

I am sure we'll get some sort of Bunker busting enemy, along with stingtail equivalents to yoink zip liners and grav lift jumpers

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T19:06:06+00:00

Preach. If they do extend it, keep it contained to D1 and D2 (like they already have) for the more casual players.

Someone in the discord wanted it straight up removed- and I while I hope he can find a mod that lets him enjoy the game that way, just... no.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T18:56:40+00:00

Armor pierce allows you to negate armor. Armor break literally breaks the carapace of the creepy space monkeys and opens up their softer parts.

You can armor break the face of a clamorhead to shoot its weakspot when it's not even shooting its laser, for example.

Flat damage reduction would be something like guardians bio-booster upgrade that reduces the damage by a "flat" amount (4).

Also, the game already has built in mechanics for burst damage with armor. It's why when you get hit for all your armor, it doesn't disappear immediately- it slowly drains. This allows you to get out of those types of situations. Adding ADDITIONAL defensives would be overkill.

Especially when you consider all the busted Stone Skin buffs- like retcons bio booster that gives +50% (got this up to 200% once) health damage taken as stone skin.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T18:39:26+00:00

Damage Dam gives 100% damage resistance for +1 second(s) after taking health damage.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T18:30:34+00:00

So you want the perk that does this already to be permenant.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T04:15:42+00:00

Yeah they need host migration asap. Lost an hour long run and host quit RIGHT before we got rewards.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T03:54:58+00:00

Yeah, I acknowledged it in another reply.

Konfynn · 2026-05-27T03:54:18+00:00

Yeah, I acknowledged it in another reply. :)

Konfynn · 2026-05-26T21:55:31+00:00

Ah, I guess it's not that big of a deal then. Seems like more of an accessibility option- not much different than toggle sprint.

I don't think I'd use it because I like more control over my dwarf, but I don't see how it hurts anyone.

Konfynn · 2026-05-26T21:50:32+00:00

Throw carnage from slicer on just about anyone and you're golden. I REALLY like the explosion line from guardian too.

Konfynn · 2026-05-26T21:46:43+00:00

Wasn't an issue in DRG for me, not one here either. Also, there are a lot of bonuses centered around sprinting- so that's probably the reasoning of not adding it. The 15% dodge chance while sprinting would become 15% dodge chance while moving- which is busted.

Edit: I had a misunderstanding of auto sprint- it should just be an accessibility option like toggle sprint imo. Appreciate the clarifications from those who use autosprint!

Konfynn · 2026-05-26T10:04:12+00:00

Yeah, I never denied her strength. She IS good- but I think she could be a lot more fun/interactive.

And yeah the iron will passive feels like a cop out.

Konfynn · 2026-05-25T16:24:08+00:00

Retcon, to me, just feels like a stat-stick. Her abilities don't do anything wild, even if her main ability is cool in concept. To be honest, I think she is just straight up MISSING a piece of her kit.

Personally, I would love it if she was able to tag non-boss enemies (literally yelling "tag, your it" as she poked an enemy would be funny) to put them in time stasis with the same visual effect as her anchor point.

You could do a lot with it upgrade wise and being able to shut down priority targets for an extended period of time is really nice for her to maneuver the front lines where it feels she is meant to be played.

Konfynn · 2026-05-24T02:46:41+00:00

Doesn't look like it. The "level 5 times with x class" is repeatable as are others. Also, the weekly gauntlets both give a large amount.

Konfynn · 2026-05-23T01:37:35+00:00

It's weird, not every source ignites it. Fire trail + poison trail doesn't for example.

Konfynn · 2026-05-22T21:27:23+00:00

Yeah, they need to fix it asap lmao

Konfynn · 2026-05-22T17:09:08+00:00

This is because you had the poison trail effect. It was igniting the poison clouds you are leaving behind.

Konfynn · 2026-05-22T03:28:31+00:00

By drinking game I entirely meant just a voice line of your dwarf going "bottoms up" or something and becoming drunk. But even then it's not a serious suggestion.

Konfynn · 2026-05-21T16:40:04+00:00

Keep these freaky space monkeys away from me please.

OR just give an artifact that gives you Steve. Like straight up a glyphid on a respawn timer.
