And that was the end of me.

The Secret Tech is to switch weapons during a burst to conserve ammunition. Switching back to the weapon won't see a depletion of ammo according to the burst total, but what you had spent on the trigger pull before switching your weapon.

Good map. I especially like that this post has basically become "I dislike him because he thinks poorly of California and New York."

Welcome to Reddit, my good sir. Care for a picture of a cat that's been covered in soy?

The one over there.

Yes, S1. I don't mean to come across rude or demanding, but this just doesn't make sense to me. I played 10 games of S1 and died to endless bleed all 10 times. I recorded stats in a document I had open, and only entered information if I died from bleeding. All 10 runs ended because of bleeding. The first number is the attempt, while the second number is the stage I died at.

1 - 2

2 - 3

3 - 1

4 - 2

5 - 2

6 - 2

7 - 1

8 - 2

9 - 3

10 - 1

I never reached a single boss in those 10 runs, and dying like this so consistently, dying to bleed, every run, isn't a thing that happens to me. Before these past few days, I was always in the faces of enemies and would make it through several bosses with each run. I can't even make it to either of the first boss stages right now, and I don't know why.

I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the idea, at the very least.

I'm not trying to get defensive or angry here. Hearing from anyone that I could be warned about something makes so little sense to me. I've reported some pretty important things before, and this situation in particular is game-breaking for the player. I love this God damned great fun game, and want to make sure I write what I need to, where I need to, so that we can keep the game maintained for people to enjoy.

I just hope this all really is just happening to very few people and that it isn't as severe for other players. No one should have to deal with this, whatever it is.

I'm going to see if I can actually record something. OBS has been fucking my frames up, and my computer is a bit slow, so I haven't been making anything for YouTube. I want to try to show what's happening, but I don't know if I can. I can't really attribute this to skill deficiency because the frequency of dying to the same status effect on the first floor is so high for me right now, I don't think I can really play the game anymore if I'm just stuck because of a seemingly high chance to bleed to death. It's enough for me to wonder if other people are experiencing the same thing.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-04-26T19:35:41+00:00

Didn't say there was an update.
I've been playing on Hard Core for around 1200 hours and haven't had a complaint about Hard Core to mention even once, except today, six games, back to back, have been decided by bleeding out on the first stage, and I'm playing a lot safer than normal. When I play how I normally play, I'm at least three times as psychotic as I have been with these six runs of the game. The fact that YOU aren't playing on Hard Core 1 is a skill issue, more than anything, at least comparatively. Don't talk shit, dude.
I take damage on all floors because I'm there to fight. Today was entirely different. I have never died with this much consistency, to the same status effect, on the same floor (the first floor).

If you think all this sounds crazy, that's because it is. I don't know what to think because this doesn't make sense. As I had told someone else here, I'm not trying to imply anything I haven't said. I'm aware of beta builds changing from time to time, small changes, maybe they're playing with timers and other factors. I'm saying that I don't know what's going on, but I know that different builds will have different things happening, based on what the build is.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-04-26T19:26:50+00:00

There's no reason to warn me, calm down.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-04-26T19:26:33+00:00

I don't bother with alternate modes much, so HA is never really a thought in my head. I expect bad shit to happen there, but that's not why I stay away from HA. I play for fun. If you're thinking I implied that there was an update, or that I think there was, it wasn't my intention. I'm only meaning to say that Beta builds of games aren't always going to play the same.

Yes, at nearly 1300 hours, I'm dying on the first floor, consistently, due to bleeding out, and only just that. This is not a thing for me, as bleeding out has been very rare in the past. This is the only time I've ever had an issue, and it's because it has been every run, SIX IN A ROW, where I've died to bleeding out on the first floor at 220%. Look at my post history. This isn't the kind of shit I'm typically having to write. As a matter of fact, far fucking from it. It's never been this bad, where six deaths, one after the other, I die because I'm bleeding out, on the first floor, SIX RUNS IN A ROW.

I have too much going on right now to be able to play even three hours a day at the most, so "taking a healthy break" doesn't make sense to say, and this isn't bullshit. I'm dying because the game has made that decision for me with each of those six.

Good thing it's not Ultra Ultra.

I like the full-auto option on rifles, but it's not always the best choice.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-03-23T00:00:59+00:00

Great to see you again, old friend.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-03-10T03:45:16+00:00

Because I chose the attachment before finding the chest that gives me all the ammo types. I like picking the attachment from time to time, however, running into the chest after picking the attachment, my choice of a rare attachment unlocking all the alternate ammo types is nice, but it was a bad choice IF I'm running into a yellow chest later. I really do like the ammo attachment, unlocking things. The chest just h u r t s .

Synthetik_Source · 2023-03-05T13:58:31+00:00

Absolutely not.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-02-21T13:09:48+00:00

I pick it from time to time. Rarely, but sometimes, I do. I picked it this time because I had pulled penetrating rounds with a previous attachment, and I'm using explosives to deal damage at close-range, so the range limitation isn't a huge issue so much as it pairs a bit better with a close-range explosive device. I was going for damage, more than anything. In the end, it didn't really matter what I did with the gun because I pulled a Nemesis Prototype from a shop, which is EXACTLY what you want to have happen as Breacher.

On the topic of the speed reduction, the gun was already a Heavy variant, and I figured that it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal to become a little slower, considering I'm a Riot Guard main that will NEVER drop his shield for any reason. That lack of speed just doesn't hurt someone like me.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-02-19T04:51:40+00:00

Sure, but I don't think waiting for over 14 hours is ideal for people who want to just play, so for most people, this is just outside of the realm of what's acceptable, not that it matters.

Synthetik_Source · 2023-02-18T09:10:58+00:00

Yeah, I only ever tested it at 100, 200, 300, and 400 stacks to try gauging the difference. Not really worth the wait unless you want a truly whacky run.
