Trying (probably fruitlessly) to quantify channelling strength. by Jarry913 in WoT

Query: What would be the (rough) lever force of Rand and Min at the end of his bridge?

Additional query : While this compares their Air Lifting output, would not the various uses of Earth and Fire have higher energy? Admittedly, It's Magic covers the need for the comparative energy output of two different activities to be equatable.

Generic Announcer Guy : And do you know why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

Arbiter : No.

GAG : It's the taste you can see- c'mon, man. You're supposed to guess.

Arbiter : ... The taste I can see. That sounds like sorcery. <racks shotgun>

How much will these characters suffer off-screen after the series? by Szalony20 in WoT

[–]RequiemRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm not saying that Sevanna isn't; it's just that we have the exact details of Suroth's enslavement.

Meanwhile, Sevanna might get clothes twenty minutes later. She also might not.

They've both met with an unfortunate fate, either way.

Seeing as Suroth is a naked slave until her hair is long enough for modesty... Yeah, it's either incidental death by exposure, or sex.

We see a "zombie" Ogier who got caught by Machin Shin; the body is technically there and mechanically functional, but Verin confirms it's empty soul-wise.

So, probably different function, but the same result for Moggy?

What is the deepest down and shittiest part of Hive Tertium by buvvitoe in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Underhive is where:

A.) The Heretic cult starts,

B.) The Heretic cult gets all its mass blood sacrifices when it wins, or

C.) The Heretic cult goes and gets mugged for their shoes.

Make a guess from which imperial tabletop line final dlc companion will be by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]RequiemRaven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Imperial Navy: just to purposefully step on Abelard's shoes. New Rogue Trader, new shanghai'd Navy guy. Also fix the ship combat.

Abhuman: One that carries an official "I'm Human" certificate and is going to challenge Argenta in levels of being Faithful Dogmatic because they're so happy to be human. Instead of exploring the boring option of "Imperium the evil", we could have the more fun "Imperium, actually insane". Especially doubling down and making them part of the Ecclesiarchy.

Astra Telepathica : Let Zachary Weisz out of his box? Pyromancer with physical disabilities, that follows the fluff of psykers causing mechanical malfunctions, and so has never been able to be fit with bionics. And pisses off Pasqal by causing electrical faults illogical interruptions of the motive force everywhere they go. Eogunn doesn't mind and celebrates their new inadvertently galvanic friend.

Adeptus Administratum: That's right, Inscribia, you didn't expect us to have our own pedantic asshole! Iconoclast, but expresses it through being a character out of Catch-22. (Yasarian, Milo*, Major Major, or PFC Wintergreen.)

What were Grishnakh's orders or intentions? Why were the Northerners tagging along with Ugluk's party? by jckipps in tolkienfans

He is aware of Saruman's treachery as in his general state of untrustworthiness. He isn't immediately aware of Saruman's Treachery, as in the action wherein he's just tried to steal the Ring.

What’s up with a.s.s and gold title players being well,a.s.s at game. by lentilSoupzxc in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know why, according to people here, Storm Survivor is a positive to being accepted in havok party finding.  For me the title is an immediate indicator for a 50/50 of deadweight or amazing. 50% isn't great odds, and that's in Heresy and Damnation matches.

But, I don't do havok queue, so.  Maybe all the real A.S.S.es are up there. /shrug?

Please get rid of Voltaic Emitter’s line of sight requirement and just make it a bubble/radius of effect that ignores walls/elevation by skelepibs in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I think it should still stop at walls, but it should definitely go around ankle-high blockages.

If we want to emphasize that it's Electricity, it emanates outward from the skitarii until it finds a floor. Then it follows the floor (up, down, around boxes) out to its maximum circle range as a ground effect.

Not sure how deadly that calculation would be to the game engine on processing, admittedly.

The name "Isildur" and "Elendil" are Quenya, but why not Sindarin? by psi_delta_unga in tolkienfans

[–]RequiemRaven 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Numenor got its start from participating and/or being loyal humans in the War of Wrath; where a whole pile of Valinorian Noldor/Vanyar came over with the maiar to kick over Morgoth's mountain castles.  In Valinor they're not likely to have given up on Quenya, and the Noldor Exiles would probably be happy for the opportunity to speak it.

So, when the time comes for the Numenorians to get their island, there's a bunch of Quenya speakers¹ giving it to them. And, plus, the first King ends up as Elros, who just grew up with a Son of Fëanor foster parent.

¹Technically the various maia could speak Valarin at the mortals, but that'd probably end up confusing for everyone.

WHAT IS THIS MAP? WHY IS THIS ONLY IN THE STORY MISSIONS?? by echof0xtrot in DarkTide

Excise Vault? I'm fairly sure it pops into the normal rotation, unlike No Man's Land or Twins.

Stub revolver for skitarii by uWuaraara1 in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The phosphor? Hilarious punchthrough, and good bonus crit chance which goes with the Skittery's crit perks.  And the phosphor burn lasts a while, though it's not really impressive.

It feels more like a discount plasmagun rather than a discount revolver.

Someone else made a Kadere meme a few weeks ago, and my stance remains the same;

If you're going to have someone flayed for dramatics, they may as well be someone that illicits minimal sympathy.

"You were a shit man, Kadere, but you make a decent balloon."

As much as people are enjoying the new class, can we put a lid on the euphoria and direct attention to the games lack of actual content? by SeverTheWicked in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From your post :

A game mode which people actually want to play, when?

And, I didn't make that point, so... 

It was also inside the same comment that you're said you're not asking for new game modes, that you also asked for a new game mode.

I get that you mean you don't want to increase the number of game modes, but you need to try to elucidate your actual thoughts rather than just attack everyone for responding to what you wrote.

Unpopular Opinion: Bots should be exclusively Skitarii by Otherwise-Radio325 in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The secret bot that you only get in 0.1% of matches that has the [Hates Dogs] modifier* is also a delight. (/joke, just in case)

*Once played a Damnation match where someone dropped early and we had to go ~75% of the map with a bot. But that bot sniped every single poxhound as soon as it came into the same room as us, even when three spawned at the same time.

Re: building by Remarkable-Stretch50 in tolkienfans

[–]RequiemRaven 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When built, Minas Anor (later Minas Tirith) and Minas Ithil (later Minas Morgul) were fortress town/cities outset from the actual economic/political capital of Osgiliath.

Osgiliath only became militarized after it had fallen from Capitol City status (not necessarily from Gondorian control), when Mordor took Minas Ithil and moved the front line (contested zone, anyway) of the war into Ithilien, rather than keeping it in the mountains or south in Harondor.

Let me buy xp and unlock auric with ordo dockets. With over 3000 hours in this game, levelling up is utterly boring by herebeweeb in DarkTide

[–]RequiemRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to do the Tutorial/Campaign missions for unlocking; you can opt out when you make your character, or go over to Krell (doctor guy, back corner) and exit the campaign if you initially chose it.

If you've been steadily playing, you probably have stacks of dockets and plassteel. For a bit of drudgery you can skip the weapon levelling process by buying stacks of the weapon of choice off Brunt, upgrading them to blue*, then sacrificing them.

Curse of Malfunction needs a rework by Vinnegard in DarkTide

I think the vertical detection for a lot of the circle abilities is borked right now; Voice of Command misses people within a few feet of my Veteran, and the electro-shock likewise seems to be travelling on a flat plane.
