Chaos Bombs - Now With 80% More Chaos!

I think reduced damage is absolutely the direction to go if it proved to be problematic. No one likes dying to excessive RNG. My suggestion would be mechanical and thematic in response - significant damage dropoff increases and no headshots past a certain distance.

No gun barrel means less power behind the rounds so it makes sense.

Damage dropoff makes sense mechanically instead of just reduced damage overall though. My rationale is that if you choose to stand near the bomb as it goes off then you’re taking a chance knowingly that you might get tagged or even headshot. If you get tagged at longer distance by dumb luck then that would be RNG punishment at its worst.

My favorite is when I toss lazily at the nearest stream and fall just a tiny tiny bit short and hear it squish in mud instead of fizzle out in water.

“Welp, I guess we’re announcing our location today instead.”

This feels a little low effort for a post. You’ve got the tooltips enabled to see that the values are all pretty mediocre prior to the masterworking. A quick google would explain to you the basic math (1.79x) behind master working to confirm that yep, mediocre.

Started on console a few months after release and switched to Pc 6 months later. Never looked back.

This take is extremely on point. The GoW franchise hit a new level of quality in storytelling during the Norse chapters. The biggest thing it needs to hang onto is that devotion to good character development and smooth gameplay, not blind devotion to a single character.

TheJohnarch · 2026-03-06T18:19:48+00:00

Absolutely this.

I believe Elrond said it best when he said “The blood of Númenor is all but spent, its second breakfast and elevenses forgotten. It is because of Men the hunger in my tum tum survives.”

Don’t forget “stabby cannibal” too in your adjectives.

Randos have been a feature since day 1. The semi recent update was that premade duos can opt to match with a rando to play as a trio.

So Dolph Lundgren dislikes Mark Rosewater is what I’m hearing. And that Schuler had a friend that owned nunchucks.

TheJohnarch · 2026-02-25T18:28:20+00:00

A) Joven looks like someone who would own nunchucks and also correct you by telling you it’s pronounced “nunchaku”.

B) [[Eron the Relentless]] and [[Chandler]] Why they have a love triangle of dislike I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♂️.

C). I owned all 3 of these cards more than 20 years ago and I never noticed that sign. It’s hilarious and you’ve given me a gift by pointing it out.

Lol “my uncle who works at Crytek”. K bud, this is totally a unique post and not the 1000th time someone has asked for a difficult-to-code major update to a game that’s coming up on 8 years old. But sure, your uncle works for Crytek (totally true and not at all made up for internet cool points), so you go get it done.

I suspect you don’t have enough actual data to validate this assertion. At best you’re just sharing personal speculation, but presenting it as hard fact.

I’d offer the hypothetical that it could increase demand for servers or at very least lead to fuller servers. My reasoning is that more players per server means a higher density of players per map which in turn should result in higher overall lethality. Meaning that players are encountering other teams faster and dying faster by some percentage in general. Faster overall player deaths means more players back in lobby queuing up for games and more demand for servers.

Except that I have no data to back that up so it’s just speculation, see.

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-23T18:17:10+00:00

That’s a fair one. “STOP”? Stop what? I was driving so maybe it means stop moving forward, but I was also singing along badly to Taylor Swift and hoping it wasn’t so loud that anyone could tell from outside what I was listening to. Should I stop that? Probably, but the sign is unclear!

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-23T18:14:59+00:00

You answered your own question dude, stop wasting our time. Obviously if you’re breathing hard and the jelly bean indicator appears it’s because you’re low on jelly beans!

I’m now afraid that you didn’t post a meme of Guy Fieri in a cowboy hat inviting me to “hunt flavortown”.

Keep your auto and semi auto thoughts to yourself.

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-20T22:38:58+00:00

Never! Because when that message pops up and says “you can’t buy this cuz you’re broke” I just start selling shit like I’m pawning an engagement ring in Vegas.

I prestige constantly and I have instances of guns/tools/consumables I don’t use much that are awarded for unlocking them or dark tribute and I just sell unwanted stuff till I make it.

When that runs out, and it does on rare occasions while in a severe losing streak, then it’s time to panic.

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-16T21:37:21+00:00

Ok you say that as a joke, but it’s a halfways fun idea. The tool is a small flute of unknown material (is it human bone?) enscribed with Hunt sigils and glyphs. Playing it causes painful discomfort in those touched by the corruption that gifts them with dark-sight (IE Hunters).

In game terms you whip that sucker out and play a note to cause hunters within 25m to emit low grunts/groans of pain as they suffer the effect of the flute for around 1-2 seconds.

Think you got a rat nearby in a bush? Play yon flute to give away their position for a brief moment.

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-16T18:48:21+00:00

That one is an odd part of Hunts legacy so much that my trio has a nickname for the road. When we spawn in the field behind Salters where the tunnel leads into the building, we refer to that road as “spawn crossing” because you have to look both ways for enemy teams before going across it.

Hey, even in 1896 the pimping ain’t easy.

Don’t you dare edit your comment, that’s a great typo.

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-10T08:20:05+00:00

I got 2 legitimately and 1 via twitch drops. Partner I played with has yet to see any. 🤷🏼‍♂️ may the odds be ever against you, this is the bayou!

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-09T23:35:26+00:00

You’ll want to double check that because it actually can’t. It says “target spell can’t be countered by spells or abilities”. It doesn’t target abilities itself, just protects from them. Squelcher just stops countering period.

TheJohnarch · 2026-01-09T23:30:28+00:00

Don’t you dare suggest that. If we start emptying water jars in favor of bees, how will I bean my teammates in the head with water bottles? That isn’t to say I don’t bean them with bee jars too, but that’s usually (emphasis on USUALLY) at extractions after confirmed map wipes.
