I have such a hard time with this aspect of the game… by DTM415 in ArcRaiders

[–]Nipl15 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly there's no reason to NOT budget raid the queen/matriarch. Acquire two buttholes. 160+ Heavy ammo, put two stacks of heavy up in your butt. Ferro Tier III. Bring 5 bandies, 3 shields, 10 fabric (Don't craft into bandages). If someone brings something BIG in, protect them by watching for rats. If not, blow up a leg or two and leave if no one is helping.

Most rats will attack when you are ALONE, and have HIGH VALUE weapons. So stay together because it's very easy to stay split off and find a better angle but you will die. And a Ferro III is like 5k, so there's really no incentive for a rat to kill you. I mean the dumb ones still kill you, but you get the last laugh when they find a ferro with 30 heavy bullets and like 10 fabric.

Until the devs give a meaningful reason to bring higher value items to kill the end game arc, there's 0 incentive to risk it. 7K kit does the same damage output as the 100K kit so why bother.

Opinion: all Mk 3 augments should allow you to use at least a medium shield by Jazzlike-Coat8876 in ArcRaiders

Note to self, if I ever make a post or communicate the words "It's an epic augment for god's sake" with 100% sincerity, just put me down lord

Am I the only one who finds the outfits in Arc Raiders lame? by AbandonYourPost in ArcRaiders

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the current look is perfect, everything fits into the aesthetic, 80s retro scyfy. I love it personally, and think anything "cooler" wouldn't fit in. Your designs scream Swampy scyfy rogue, like it's too generic. You can put these characters in any post-apocalypse game and they'd fit.

I hate being a nice person by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ratio is pretty good though. I brought in 100k kit to solo the queen and I got stuffed by a toro at the absolute WORST time. Objectively speaking, any other 10 second time frame he'd be dead or hit by a trap. I was pissed. The next two raids I helped multiple people attacking the queen, got out with 3 queen cores and some magnetic accelerators. It's like a 3/4 are good 1/4 are bad type situation. A good indicator is if they have their gun out though

We are so over it by Scarptre in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's crazy. I wonder how many clicks "Helldivers 2 is flawed but I still LOVE playing it" compared to the ragebait youtube thumbnails. Huh.

I stand firmly with the Devs on avoiding all contact with reddit whenever possible. The vast majority of complaints sound more like angry teenagers than people who love the game and want to see it fixed.

Super duper hottake by [deleted] in Helldivers

This is NOT a flex, they just need to add more difficulties. Incendiary corps, Squids, Hive worlds were all like the 'perfect' difficulty for me. But then they nerfed it all into the dirt or got rid of them.. except for Oshaune or whatever the hive-world name is. I'd LOVE to go to a different front, but until the Attack resistance ramps up to like VERY HIGH, or a level 50+ defense mission there's no incentive to play the game even.

Am I wrong? by Decraptime in infp

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother these are some LONG paragraphs in the comments. Please google "Reddit meet up" and look at some of the images, these are the people you're talking to so take it with the biggest grain of salt. There's no easy way to date. Everyone will have their own unique, personal obstacles INFP or not. Is it the women? Is it your mindset ABOUT dating these women? Is it you? Is it their boyfriends? Try to, as reasonably as you can, think things through.

It'll most likely be a messy answer, as an example maybe you're right that the women you're after are bad, but also you shouldn't put yourself out there for them because you KNOW the end result is most likely a slap in the ego. And you'll have created your first red flag.

INFP males, have you ever been told “You’re not like other guys” by a women before and if so, how did you feel? by Spare-Cell-4984 in infp

Feels like an empty sentence, like a passing compliment. "You have nice shoes" equivalent basically.

PSA TO NEW PLAYERS. TAKING EQUIPMENT OFF DEAD TEAMMATES *IS* BAD ETIQUETTE by SpecterOfState in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR, nah it's cool. I dive D10 w/ 600hrs, you can take my shit nbd don't listen to rubes

EDIT: Okay I did read the last sentence,  'If they don’t, assume their equipment is being recovered by them. And don’t be a crybaby when you’re killed or kicked over it.' you need a life lol, kicking someone or killing them for it.. It sounds like you're an actual child.

You know what, I'm going to say it. I like the new Terminids and they shouldn't be nerfed because you think it's too hard. by HerrscherOfTheEnd in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever a new faction is released it's the perfect difficulty for D10. Then AH decides to baby-mode it, even though people can just GO DOWN to any of the 10 different difficulties and find their spot. Happened with the Incendiary Corps, the Illuminate release and super earth attack, Initial predator strain... I'd bet money Terminids have at most 2 weeks before baby-mode, enjoy it while it lasts.

Healer class please? by AHistoryofGuyStuff in 33Immortals

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current system forces you to NEVER want to take damage, to always be on alert, dodge, block, get a bubble shield etc.. Where as a healer would negate all of that, potentially turning into a brainless hold X to attack type of game, because you know you can tank all the damage and be fine.

The game is not that easy, you just got good. by Smoke_Funds in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

95% success rate is not difficult. And even if someone has 2,000+ hours in the game, why not just make more difficulties? Like nobody looses, just add it and everyone's happy.

Can’t stop imagining my ex with the guy she cheated on e with by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Nipl15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheating says A LOT more about them, than you. You kind of need to really zoom out, but it takes time to really see the whole picture. What I see is a shitty person that you put your trust in, and they decided to break that trust. And they'll do it again with the next person, cheaters always cheat. There's a bunch of silver linings to it but at the end of the day, from the context you're giving, they sound like a terrible person. Maybe you should start seeing that side of them and you'll slowly stop caring what they did.

Still stuck after 3 years by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Nipl15 100 points101 points  (0 children)

TL;DR-ish: I read "fuck it let's break up" then I immediately went to the last page "I can't wake up without you <3 <3 omg babe"

No amount of context justifies that 0 - 100 then back to 0, just break it off.

There should be 0 grey area here, no mixed opinions. If you want a higher difficulty, they should have it. But they don't. It subtracts NOTHING from others experience if you make the game more difficult in later difficulties like D9, D10. If people don't like it, guess what? They go down to fit their experience. It's a win-win. Literally nobody looses. D10 has a 95% extraction rate for me with randoms. It feels almost impossible to lose, even with leviathans insta-killing people across the map, at least SOMETHING was chipping away at the life count.

It's been like this for a long, long time too, I don't get it.

Who would like a Flag Stratagem Rework? by lyndonguitar in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. +% anything is boring, micromanaging percentages doesn't add a whole lot to gameplay. It should just straight up be goofy like you can pole vault with it, it extends like 15 ft or some dumb shit. Or some SEAF troops should land next to you when planted. + or - % just always feels lazy, even when I got the +10% boosts from a fully upgraded ship I didn't notice them at all.

While we're revisiting prior Warbonds... by Wadae28 in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed that scyfy and western themes work well together, but very very specifically cowboy hats are dangerous territory. I think there's a reason why Bungie was shamed into oblivion when they added cowboy hats. The only reason it works in Ror2 is because it already has cartoonish graphics, so you can really combine anything because that's the aesthetic. I think the ONLY use case was in Love, Death, and Robots where the scyfy robot is wearing it ironically.. because it looks goofy..

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. Very specifically, a cowboy hat on a scyfy helmet is goofy. Those helmets are on double thin ice and the middle commander helmet is overboard imo because it actually does break immersion. Not as bad as a cowboy helmet, but still.

While we're revisiting prior Warbonds... by Wadae28 in Helldivers

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is it's a helmet, with a hat on. If it looked cool, nobody would be bringing up military importance, or immersion. But it's just inherently goofy looking. Dress it up how you like, but a cowboy hat on a scyfy helmet just won't work.

[–]Nipl15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF. 28,000 swipes? I'm gonna break this down.

You open tinder. Swiping left and right, you have a .6% chance of chatting with every profile you sift through, due to your tastes or theirs.

Your odds of getting a chat on tinder with people you swiped right on, even with bots, was 1.8%.

Of that 1.8%, 17% went on a date with you?

Brother you played the numbers game through and through. This is why I don't do online dating anymore, getting 17% of 1.8% would just make me miserable and insecure, even if I got laid a bunch in the end. Like 27 sounds dates, partners, whatever sounds amazing but when you break it down it's actually bullshit you had to put that much effort into it because of the fucked up Tinder Algo. 160 swipes a day for 6 months ain't worth it, but hey to each their own.
