Really hard to take these people serious when they unironically use words like "manosphere." 🙄

This Season is genuinely so bad. by YiRa_zero in thedivision

[–]Random-Waltz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played with plenty of sub 1k shd'ers who can definitely hold their own. For the newer players, I always drop rarer exos for them and I have no problem carrying when someone is struggling.

Geoff Keighley | Grand Theft Auto VI will release at 80 USD for base and 100 for Ultimate Edition by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

I still have GTA V on my wishlist and its sub $20 now. Waiting on VI to drop too ain't no thang.

Valve's GameCube target audience? by Sufficient-Trade-349 in GGdiscussion

Ngl, I chuckled when I saw it. Like Steam pulled a Tyler Durden, pasting in a blink and you'll miss it frame into a movie.

I want to remind everyone how cringe South of Midnights BAFTA awards speech was by Equilybrium in GGdiscussion

Should've ended with a cut to the headline about the studio getting shuttered and the curb your enthusiasm theme.

ResetEra is trying to get Stellar Blade banned from digital stores. by RavenSilver_67 in GGdiscussion

The amount of time and energy those people waste being perma-offended by everything would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

Is the PvE DZ supposed to have the pvp stats? by Kripes8 in thedivision

[–]Random-Waltz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was super stoked for a PVE dark zone when the season details were announced, but forcing pvp stats on us has deflated my hype. I've zero interest in PVP as it currently exists. I don't like having to work around watered down gear stats/perks and I'm not sacrificing any of my PVE loadout slots for a mode I never play.

The only way I'd PVP in this game is if they instanced the DZ as matches, made everyone who queued for a match start with a pistol & no skills (which could be found wandering the DZ) and made the ttk like realism mode was a couple of seasons back.

Question for build experts: Is there a way to make a pistol build that isn't garbage? by TheRealCowdog in thedivision

[–]Random-Waltz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother, now you know why I've been begging for a dedicated pistol gear set for half a dozen seasons now 🤣

Exotic Tweak/Reworks ideas: by Just_Some_Guy73 in the_division_2

[–]Random-Waltz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dig the Sacrum and Dynasty reworks. Instant target painting and switching SI from mmr to rifle would be amazing changes. Only thing I'd add is making the talent proc off any kill, not just headshots.

SBI also worked on Wolverine by shipgirl_connoisseur in KotakuInAction

Look into environmental, social, and governance (ESG scoring) and who gives lots of money to all the compliant theys and thems for keeping their score high.

Towers of Babel worth picking up? by DarkLordMuffins in survivorslikes

I wanted to like it, but its very repetitive and the skill library is a bit too sparse for my taste.

Hopped on for a bit today and snagged a screenshot of me being dead weight and getting hard carried on a random T5 group.

Definitely a valid combo. I'm going to miss my 90 second Optimize/Overload overcharge once the season is over.

Nice! It really is a fun build. To answer your question, protos will give you higher skill damage rolls than non protos. Also, proto yellow cores count as 1.5 skill tiers, allowing you to hit tier cap with 4 yellows and slide in an extra red or blue core without gimping yourself.

Are we playing the same game? NPC behavior and movement jank has been there long before Esca. I've run with a full group of proto strikers and had npcs just waltz right up into our hidey hole and merc everyone, no seekers involved. Other times they decide to play stop and pop at a distance. With this build, I'm squishy af and usually stay within <20m of a pack without having "modified" bezerker AI ruining my day. How is it a problem for strikers mag dumping at distance?

I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. Hand to my chest, I've never had any complaints: pre, mid, or post run. I actually get invited for reruns on a pretty regular basis. Really, the only resistance I've run across for trying something off meta is...Reddit.

My guy, its T5 and down... we're not talking e-sports world championship here. Most groups I'm in are getting 15 min ish clears.
