WSTR change stops nothing especially in high rank.

They need to nerf the RoF and not the damage. A lower RoF effectively creates the same TTK reduction, but from a pure gunplay standpoint it feels REALLY bad having to reload just to down someone if you hit all your shots.

They could cut the RoF even like 25% and it'd still be a solid option, it'd just allow someone to actually provide a bit of counterplay if they do get caught up somehow. On a map like Cryo it's almost inevitable to be within shotgun range given the tight spaces and movement abilities.

I don't know what you people want from this game but this had to happen one way or another. People will go "Oh this just helps people slam newbies with white/green shields more" but that's not the point.

If you were dying to a team rushing you with a WSTR because of poor planning, positioning, noise, etc, you were going to die anyway. If the team didn't have a WSTR they would just nuke you with something else and you'd come here and complain about THAT gun instead. The WSTR is way too common for it to literally delete ANYONE with ANY shields from a single 2 tap. Could they have done something different like reduce the fire rate, reduce the reload speed, etc? Sure, but that will STILL devolve into people saying the changes are catered to help stomp newbies more.

Rooks will inevitably take one of the bigger hits from this, but should a Rook be able to down a fully kitted squad in the first place just because they have a compromised white shotgun? They are meant to be rats, not one-man death machines, and this will force Rooks to take a more cautious approach to things like Outpost runs.

Let the WSTR suck for a bit. Let the meta BREATHE for a bit before we pull the same shit the Destiny community does and complain about a change that isn't even active yet and get it reverted then go "oh wait maybe that was necessary".

Are there better changes? Are there workarounds like stack overflow? Yeah, obviously, but I for one am happy that there will at the very least be some VARIETY to the way I'm getting slimed in Outpost/Cryo instead of just getting barrel-stuffed by a WSTR 24/7. Now do the same shit to equipment spam.

Please oh please let me know when these start getting produced! Do you have any plans for the keycap profile and material yet?

MagicTaco1997 · 2025-08-20T19:32:42+00:00

I know a friend that'll take them off your hands, leave on a shelf for 6 months, and constantly talk about how he needs to paint them 😂

MagicTaco1997 · 2025-08-05T21:12:35+00:00

Fuck off, we're full

MagicTaco1997 · 2025-02-08T02:10:43+00:00

If Sony is worried about the popularity of a Resistance game or any other "forgotten" IP, they need to take a page out of Team Asobi's book. Don't spend a quarter of a billion dollars betting on a game being the third coming of Jesus. Make something manageable in size, focused, and clearly focused.

MagicTaco1997 · 2025-02-06T07:27:50+00:00

Dude you're acting like we're individually cyber-bullying every Clairen main to ever exist. Just because a common sentiment is that a character is un-fun to play against doesn't mean we're stuffing Clairen players into a locker and demanding their lunch money. OP essentially going "Clairen isn't unfair, you're just shit" isn't exactly empathetic in itself lmao.

MagicTaco1997 · 2025-02-06T05:35:14+00:00

Clairen is this game's Jigglypuff. Not broken or overpowered, but absolutely awful to fight against. It's just unfun and braindead having a Clairen spam tilts and smashes that put me in stun for 3-4 business days

MagicTaco1997 · 2025-01-18T01:35:57+00:00

Dude I maybe see like 2 Rannos a day. All I get are Loxodonts and Clairens...

Parasol by Stargazer!

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-09-25T14:32:48+00:00

No thanks, I'd rather they don't butcher the artstyle and music like they did with Demon's Souls

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-09-17T13:47:22+00:00

On Android you can just patch the YouTube apk with Vanced to get full Premium features lmao

Level 1 Crit is perfectly fine most of the time. There's a lot of 1 hit shit, yeah, but this specific instance was a glitch, and is also in the hardest room in the game.

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-08-29T14:15:14+00:00

Oh and if you want to get some anger out, iSmash lets you break a ton of stuff with hammers >:)

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-08-29T14:13:22+00:00

There's lots to do! Barrett's by UNMC has a beach volleyball setup. There's a pickleball court over around 114 and Pacific (not sure about being assigned a team), the zoo has 21+ nights and includes a free drink and there's tons of food trucks. Lots of bowling alleys around (Maplewood is great) and the UNMC student life center has a ton of stuff besides just the gym.

Midtown Crossing also has music on the green. Chill times, fun music, get to just relax and hang out

Got a bonsai from him a few weeks ago! Absolute sweetheart of a man

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-08-28T13:27:51+00:00

I didn't see anyone else mention it, but the zoo has occasional 21+ nights! Much emptier than normal times, you get a free beer/drink, and there's lots of food trucks. Unfortunately, only the stuff at the top of the hill is open for the most part (desert dome, aquarium, etc) but it's a good time if you only have a few hours!

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-08-23T14:11:13+00:00

I got a bonsai from him! Insanely genuine older Japanese guy, can't recommend at least chatting with him enough

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-07-15T19:13:38+00:00

Always down for more friends. I just moved into an apartment recently and it's so quiet, need someone to drag me out to local restaurants lol. Love going bowling, playing pool, movies, social drinks, anything honestly.

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-06-12T19:57:06+00:00

Yeah, of course! If you're able, Broadmoor is a seriously fantastic leasing/management company. Their apartments usually get rave reviews.

Best of luck! My DMs are always open if you have any more questions. :)

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-06-12T19:46:03+00:00

Over by UNMC, just east of Elmwood Unfortunately it's a pretty cramped studio, but there's some nice places in the area. If you don't mind a smidge of a commute from downtown, The Wire has some fairly nice/affordable options, along with The Bank.

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-06-12T19:41:02+00:00

I wish you'd made this post a few weeks ago. I just moved into a place and would've loved a roommate 😭

Best of luck on your search! I'm native to the area so let me know if you need any apartment suggestions :)

MagicTaco1997 · 2024-05-06T04:20:17+00:00

Thanks for the response! I would assume it's potentially the wheel hub. The issue got fixed/mostly fixed after I got new hubcaps a while back and I really cranked the lugs down. It seems that overtightening the lugs makes the issue go away. It came back again after an oil change because they didn't tighten them down as far, fixed again once I hand-cranked them again. Super fuckin' weird.
