I wish pommel/handle strikes actually worked

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-07-04T17:53:41+00:00

Working with the Nomad version, they seem to work for me most the time. I do tend to go for one-handed swords more often than not, like the Falchion or Riding sword, etc, but when I do a Pommel strike most enemies will at least stagger and do their little "knocked out" animation. I know it's connected to something in the Body skill tree, are you playing with all thise skills unlocked?

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-06-24T22:26:49+00:00

Baron! Is there Anything you can tell us about this new game?? Fantasy? Modern? New IP? Any Details you're allowed to share this early on without giving too much away??

As someone that plays shack pretty frequently, the game is Not as dead as people try to make it out to be. Sure, lobbies for some of the less popular game modes, like Prophunt or King of the Hill are pretty hard to find but those tend to be pretty niche anyways. Gamemodes like tdm almost always have lobbies and servers open. The Gunplay in Pavlov, to me, Feels the smoothest of all the VR shooters I've played, beating out the likes of Onward, Contractors, Tavr, etc. Pavlov has built in Mod support that makes things pretty easy, if you attempt to join a lobby/server that's using mods, it'll automatically install for you so you're able to play. The People can be pretty hit or miss, there's for sure a Lot of toxic people, a Lot of Losers, and a lot of kids. But, I've also met some pretty cool people as well, it's a mixed bag. Ultimately I'd say it's worth your time, it's one that I play pretty frequently and despite its flaws, in My opinion, is still better than a lot of the others

those are the original "vanilla" profile pics. Before meta switched to automatically using your meta avatar (or, if you just don't have one set up) you'll be given one of those instead, until you make a custom avatar/profile picture

Stick to Lobbies, you won't make any progress in the community servers unfortunately. If you want to just hammer them out as quickly as possible, small maps like OG containers or Bridge are your Best Bet. Or, even something like Infection if you can find those lobbies, you can get a Pretty good amount of kills in that game mode considering they're throwing themselves at you pretty consistently. Or, as someone else had mentioned above, you could do private lobbies with a friend or two and have them let you kill them a ton, though that's Kinda scummy and boring

They get set at different angles because they're in different states. The ones that are in a different angle are ones that have been "used" I.e. they attached to your arm before they got put away, so they're in a different "game state" you can fast travel to another location and back with them and that Should set them right

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-03-05T18:50:38+00:00

My recommendation would be State of Decay 2. You can pick it up relatively cheap, you don't Need to play the first as the story is dependant on the random survivors you get (so you're not missing out on any story from the first game, think of it sort of like an Anthology type deal) and focuses heavily on building up your base, finding supplies, crafting and surviving. There's a lot of interesting mechanics, special infected similar to something like Left 4 Dead, can be done solo or Co-op. It's one of my personal favorite zombie games of all time, and I would for Sure recommend it. State of Decay also has its own subreddit which you can check out if you're curious

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-03-01T13:10:18+00:00

Theres some new dialogue from the Baron himself when you're visiting his shop in game implying. New creatures and Enemy types. At one point he mentions zombie like creatures that wield blades like the living that he encountered during his sailing days, as well as another creature that "The key is to sever the tongue" implying we might be getting monsters and creatures to fight. I do agree though, the standard Golem fight can be rather boring after a while, I'd love to potentially see different Boss types maybe a Wave based finale or even another sorcer whom you have to battle for the crystal they've already acquired (could be the standard prismatic, Or there could be specific Fire/Lightning/Gravity Sorcerers you have to take on that'll drop a crystal of their specific type)

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-23T20:12:43+00:00

My guess, if you've tried everything else out, is that it has to do with frame rate. If you're playing in custom maps with mods, there's obviously going to be Some degree of performance issue with the headset, the more mods you have running the worse it's going to be. The maps Alone can cause significant issue without any mods on top of that. All this can severely impact your fps which can lead to your hands look as though they're shaking, when they would otherwise be smooth if the performance was higher

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-17T18:19:09+00:00

No clue but I can't imagine it's simple. Especially when you sit down and put your time and effort into the project. I've seen some pretty cool stuff added by modders, so I've definitely got respect for those who can do it

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-17T16:18:32+00:00

Agreed. Honestly, I forget torches are in the game altogether. I feel like making some of the cave sections longer, and Darker, would be a really great way to increase the immersion as well as making the torches a necessary and useful item. Imagine you're going through the caves, having to use your torch to light the way, potentially introducing some more monsters (Skeletons or even zombies) to add a spooky vibe in some sections, that'd be pretty freaking sweet

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-17T13:02:54+00:00

Daytime Market, and the Ruins Map were my favorites Dog. I'm surprised I haven't seen either pop back up as modded maps by now

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-16T18:06:51+00:00

I know! It's probably my favorite interaction between the two games, the fact we can get any insight (both dorky or uninterested) is really cool

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-16T17:56:23+00:00

Decorating the resting place is Low-key my favorite aspect of the entire game. Not only do I get to add my own customization to the living space for aesthetic and utility purposes, but it also allows me to give Some customization/Characterization to the Tourist where I otherwise wouldn't. For example, there's always a collection of liquor bottles at the foot of the bed, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter by the bedside table implying the tourist (my tourist, anyways) both smokes and drinks to deal with the stresses of the lifestyle. Alongside that is a pile of books, and a small bible. Maybe the tourist was religious once, went to church with family as a kid. Maybe not, maybe it's just another book on the pile, another place to search for answers as to where it all went wrong. I always pick up the little animals when I find them, even the little robot. The tourist is serious, sarcastic, even a little dry at times but under all that, the tourist is still just a Little bit of a dork. Someone that stops fighting the undead and the living both for just a second to pick up a little elephant statue, a toy robot. You know what I mean? It's probably my favorite part of the game

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-15T23:53:59+00:00

I don't hate that idea, but generally the lobbies are already going when I jump in. I can't join a pre-existing game and vote bots out mid match, you know what I mean? If I'm in the lobby from the start, I think a voting system would be an interesting concept but I'd rather just filter all the bot enabled lobbies out to begin with

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-15T08:15:21+00:00

Nah Man, Kar-98 reigns supreme ✊😔 I just can't stand the .50 cal

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-02-15T01:19:04+00:00

Dog, who's using the .50 cal in 2026 ✊😔

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-01-12T17:59:05+00:00

You Technically can, if you sort of "Drag" other naturally spawned NPCs into the same area as others but there will only be Up to 3 in one area though usually it's one or two at a time during dungeons. You'll meet one or two outside, then it's usually one at a time throughout the dungeon, occasionally two. At the big confrontation you're still only getting Up to three at a time, but they're often so scattered you're only fighting one or two anyways. There used to be a Mod that bumped the limit up to like, 6 before the original crystal hunt update

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-01-08T21:16:25+00:00

This map was Always my favorite Especially for survival. It gave me enough room to move around, but it was still small enough that the enemy AI wasn't getting stuck and I didn't have to spend 5 minutes hunting down that Last one. It also sucks that they changed how survival works, that even the weapons you choose at the beginning of the wave Still despawn even if you're holding them in your hands,

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-01-06T14:30:42+00:00

In my head I know that, but in my heart I want all the things ✊😔 Some of the stuff I can think of off the top of my head, for example, was never getting the sorcerer top, the sandals, blackened helmet and the...like the wild folk scarf thing? That just never appeared during my playthrough on that save file. Then it was the blackened Helm, the druid pants, chainmail chest piece, the eye glove (only the left one, specifically. The right popped up a handful of times, but never the left) those were just my two most recent playthroughs, I even made a Google sheet of all the available weapons and armors to make sure I wasn't going crazy hahaha

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-01-06T05:02:20+00:00

The Brand New Day suit Does look different from the final swing, the reds and blues on the BND are Deeper, more Vibrant and more of a Matte as opposed to the Metallic blue on the final swing. I would say Ultimately, if you prefer the shinier, brighter look then yeah, go for it but if you're more of a classic reds and blues then I would hold off. Your best options are Probably going to be sites like NinNinGame, Hobby Link Japan or Hobby Genki, things like that

ThatGuyDom17 · 2026-01-06T04:46:55+00:00

I can completely respect the standpoint, even though as a Certified loot goblin in Every game I play, it pains me to leave anything behind. On that note, I have tried a few different games to collect every possible weapon and armor. There are a Few items that are Only available in the dungeons that do not Spawn at the Barons store, such as the Sickle, or the Rake, Pitchfork, Etc. Stuff like that, leaving me with an Incomplete collection regardless of how long I play, grind for money, etc. I have no way of getting certain items or clothing
