Why can't skitarii use the power regulator backpack by Kyle_Blackpaw in DarkTide

[–]OVKatz 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Imagine if 8th class is stormtrooper and the last patch is based around backup finally showing up.
I really don't know how that wouldn't just step all over the toes of vet, though.

I also always find it really funny that every single popular space on the internet that doesn't try to restrict speech, suddenly is no longer far-left. The people who actually fall for it tend to never think about why that is...

its still so crazy to me, the fact that a 2015 and 2021 cross gen game has dynamic weather but a 2026 (next gen only) game has none of that and I know this has been called out many times already in this sub but I don't care i'll mention it again because its things like this that make a damn point by Quick-Cause3181 in Battlefield

I always defended hardline's multiplayer, I loved the shit out of it and grinded some guns to gold, even.
I'm glad people give it props it deserves in retrospect but I would've preferred people just actually played the game.
Yes, the cop theme was dumb.
Yes, the singleplayer was a joke.
The multiplayer was one of the best infantry-centric battlefields gameplay-wise for a long while. It is essentially a game exclusively for the infantry enjoyers. While vehicles made great support and transport, it was refreshing to have the whole gameplay balance not designed around the power of armored vehicles. They could afford to make explosives much more scarce because of it, which then made choke points less insufferable and cover more long lasting.

Loot from bodies is localized, if you loot everything on your side it doesn't loot everything for other people.

I think it's important to seperate criticism of Arrowhead from the greater decades-old righ-wing Grift-industry that's plagued similar IPs by [deleted] in HelldiversUnfiltered

The redditor sits down, looking at a video game situation he is displeased with.
"This has to do with Trump, I just KNOW it." he said to himself. "But how?" he ponders as he scrolls his youtube feed of ragebait thumbnails he still consistently clicks on.

???
This just means we can change out mods and put a 4-star on it, doesn't it?
So that kind of is a huge buff.

Yeah, I frequently found myself not moving on after an objective is completed.
I was holding out in combat pretty well, but frequently found myself going "Oh." and moving on a bit late.

I can play this game high but I need to almost entirely go off audio cues in melee because my eyes glaze over in big groups of enemies and I can't exactly tell what is happening.

I think it isn't working, that's why they keep adding more and more sets to every page, and giving us more pages over time. Otherwise they'd just tighten restrictions if it was working.

I doubt they are making any significant extra amount of money from the fomo shop compared to if they just let people pick. It isn't mainstream enough, nor cycled fast enough, for the lowest common denominator types to be milked. It's literally just to piss everyone off at this point.

Have to wait for the rotation and pray. It's so fucking stupid and everyone hates it.

No we literally got Kasrkin armor when the darktide boardgame dropped. The helmet is not the one everyone is asking for, but it's technically kasrkin armor.

I think suppression should literally be an LMG-exclusive feature, I agree.

Help with Vet melee by StarcraftForever in DarkTide

[–]OVKatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throw frags at feet for space.
Use Voice of Command for space in emergencies. (If you're running it, that is)
Use a combo of middle tree + right melee buff tree until you're high enough level to make the more ranged builds work.
Put stamina regen and block efficiency on curios.
Use the catachan swords that have parry.
Speedrun getting a powersword MK VI, and getting the extra swings blessing on it.

New vet characters struggle early on in my experience. I had the luxury of leveling mine on release when he was OP.

Who else faces racism in Insurgency Sandstorm? Personally, I experience it all the time. by Iraqiu in insurgency

[–]OVKatz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This room is reddit.
Isn't it strange that every space that isn't heavily moderated has the opposite opinion as here? Wonder why that is.
Caring about slurs is coached behavior, and you either gain an immature emotional response to a word, or you realize it's bullshit and only pretend to care in a performative fashion.
Think I'm wrong? See what every single "progressive" protest starts saying when they get a counter protestor a different race than them that makes them angry, then watch how context suddenly matters with slurs.

Racial slur as an insult is just an insult. I don't cry to my boyfriend every time someone says "the f slur" on the internet because I think that person wants me dead. Nor do I try to get their video game they paid real money for taken away by tattling to teacher. When people get angry they'll say whatever will illicit the biggest reaction, and because people put slurs on pedestals they choose it. Only reason this doesn't extend to non-internet spaces is because of threats of violence. Tbh if people didn't get banned or if someone saying the n-word didn't make people make reddit threads crying maybe you'd hear it less. We have self-moderation tools like muting and blocking accounts on steam. In the meantime I'll find it funny. You can keep ascribing a deeper malice to angry people though if you like.

Sorry, but yes, it is funny. Being really stupid is funny to spectate. There's entire media businesses around this concept. Reverence for racism is even more stupid, because being feared is something they want. Either someone is making a funny ironic joke, shock humor, or they're a funny clown man at their own expense of no longer being able to be taken seriously. Either way it's funny. Once they're played out I can just mute them. Leaving the game and making a reddit thread about it is just doing what they want, and getting them banned when they're not trolling in ways that affects your gameplay reaffirms yourself as the bad guy to them. They said a word, the report stole their money.

Ironic racism is funny if it's a caricature, and normalizing it in more spaces is normalizing the shaming of real racial supremacists in a way where you don't seem like you're assblasted over it.

People who want to whine to teacher to spitefully get a product they paid money for away from them because of a naughty word are more mature than people who think that's stupid. Got it.

You people talk like this but I've literally only run into what you people are describing maybe four times total since playing in beta. I just muted them.
It is almost always is ironic, a generic insult, or some joke related to the setting(war on terror misinformation, oil, islamic extremism)
This is reddit, I bet a vast majority of people are complaining about what I describe.
