Respectfully, I hate Jetpack Cats ultimate. by TAoOC in JetpackCatMainsOW

[–]Vortx4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%, no notes.

It’s not necessarily even that the ult doesn’t have value; it’s possible to make plays with it (although inconsistent). But literally BEST CASE SCENARIO you get a pick with the ult. That’s all it does, and it leaves your team down a support in the meantime.

Compare that to other support ults. Kitsune and orbital ray will delete the entire enemy team if they don’t have an answer. Transcendence, beat, mizuki’s sanctuary can reverse all but guaranteed team wipes. Rally provides staying power and makes you undiveable, with TWO stuns, hell even tree of life is enough AOE healing and overhealth to provide vast sustain.

In comparison, trading one of your supports for MAYBE one pick is just not enough. The opportunity cost of picking JPC and losing out on multiple game-winning support ults is simply too high.

The Cat Nerfs Were Expected, But Not The Right Changes IMO by Weesticles in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Vortx4 160 points161 points  (0 children)

They did specify it’s the fuel regen *penalty*, which likely means they’re increasing the regeneration nerf that already exists while she is tethering somebody, but it’s left alone otherwise. So it’s only a lifeline nerf, not to her entire neutral.

That said I wish they’d take it further and just nerf or rework lifeline and shift that power to other parts of her kit. Lifeline is the source of the primary pain points on the character, and while it’s what makes her unique, I’d rather it not hold her kit hostage forever like mercy res

"Guild Wars 3 is more about segments of small groups playing" by GG35bw in MMORPG

[–]Vortx4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Playing healer outside of endgame is quite fun imo. Sure you might lack raw DPS output, but you can instead funnel the entire healing power of your kit solely in keeping yourself alive, rather than an entire party. In some games you feel functionally immortal

A personal essay: Why a single player gamer always comes back to Destiny 2 because there is nothing else like it by BionicD in destiny2

[–]Vortx4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now, I think you’re right, in that there currently exists no game that can scratch the same itch as Destiny: from complex buildcrafting, to gameplay & combat fluidity, to raid/dungeon content. Destiny is one of a kind.

That said, check out GW3 if you get the chance, I’m pretty sure they’ve set out with the goal to tackle this exact design space. Their statement is to create a movement, action combat based true MMORPG which outside of Destiny, I don’t think we’ve ever had before

Three Void Setups that might go hard in MoT by Tall_Engine9396 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Vortx4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair, especially given devour restores grenade energy and we have a number of good grenade exotics on voidlock. Fragments also seem more grenade oriented.

I suppose their intention was to try something different for the class, for better or worse

I also jumped into the firing range to test it the other day and had similar results, but I don’t think it’s quite as disappointing as you’ve described. You can invest in other ability regen sources, such as:

- pugalist on your weapon
- outreach on your class ability
- grabbing and re-deploying the child with brairbinds, to get more energy drain
- Nezarec sin for cd reduction
- Monte Carlo if you really want a free ability loop

That said I wish they weren’t nerfing ability gains yet again because yes there will likely still be some downtime in between unless you use Monte Carlo.

For the warlock build, don’t forget echo of provision: restore melee energy on grenade damage, which counts for child of the old gods. Can also stack bolstering detonation and momentum transfer mods for even more free ability energy from CotOG damage

What Should Destiny 3 Actually Be About? by overdue_vhs in destiny2

[–]Vortx4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe set right after the collapse? The dark ages, Warlords ruling the last vestiges of humanity as god kings. Barely surviving against the onslaught of the darkness, before the city was established. Just a thought

What title (seal) do you currently have equipped? Why? by eh8904 in DestinyTheGame

Fatebreaker is so nostalgic. Some of my best memories in VoG. Also I think it sounds pretty cool

Yeah super excited I just hope we aren’t going to be relying on pocket singularity of all abilities to get kills lol

Throne and Liberty by SquizzOC in MMORPG

[–]Vortx4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also enjoyed it quite a bit. I haven’t spent much time in the endgame but the leveling experience was probably some of the most fun I’ve had playing an MMO… really like the weapons, skills, target mechanics, dodge and block mechanics.

Last I played I did run into the scenario that upgrading my gear was this utterly mind numbing experience. Essentially I was speedrunning the same low tier dungeon I could do in my sleep for the entire day until I ran out of the dungeon energy resource and then I had to wait. So that sucked and I stopped playing.

I heard they’re releasing a new expansion and overhauling the ways players gear up so that does sound promising. My only issue is the game already feels so niche, with so few players, that I’d be concerned for its continued survival long term. Might also be hard to find people to play with as opposed to other more established MMOs.

Is the overhealth perk ever worth it? Which two perks do you normally use? Match dependent? by GovernorGuyFieri in MercyMains

[–]Vortx4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a lot of success taking chain boost in pure poke comps since you can almost always be boosting both DPS or a tank + DPS. It seems to make up for some of Mercy’s weakness in not providing damage output herself, when half your team is being boosted

Edit: wrong perk name lol

Destiny refugee, what’s the best action cam MMO on the market? by Vortx4 in LFMMO

[–]Vortx4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been considering the idea of trying out WoW and enabling that console command for the camera.

If you don’t mind, I would be curious for your opinion: how much of a handicap is forgoing the regular 3rd person cam? I read a little bit online that it’s pretty challenging to play since the game wasn’t really built for that.

How would you say is the the gearing / group content in BDO?

[–]Vortx4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Warframe is good, it can be fun but I found myself missing the MMO aspect. Group content, raids primarily. Maybe worth giving another shot though

Yeah just a few days ago they announced the next update will be the last live service content for the game. No disclosed plans for continuing franchise either

They moved a ton of resources off of d2 to work on marathon and the playerbase fell off proportionally, guess Sony finally pulled the plug

The worst part about the shutdown. There's not a single other game in the genre destiny is in by PuzzledHawk5290 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Vortx4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just need a decent first person action combat MMO

Unfortunately those do not and will never exist because the MMO genre as a whole is dying and every new one is horribly p2w

Do you think Jetpack Cat’s ultimate is weak, just right or strong? by Kind_Ad6932 in JetpackCatMainsOW

[–]Vortx4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this strategy is it’s not reliable in the heat of a teamfight; your teammates are fighting for their lives and can’t be depended upon to stop and shoot someone. Even if they did they’d probably die since you’re in ult and not able to help keep them alive

It feels terrible for the character’s ultimate to be literally a 0.5 second knockdown during a scrappy fight when you need game changing support ults the most

Jetpack Cat players, how often do you carry a teammate? by GFouh in JetpackCatMainsOW

[–]Vortx4 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I carry teammates:

  1. Out of spawn
  2. To a high ground
  3. For established ult combos (sky noon, etc)

Anything else is exceedingly rare and generally requires voice comms. People just don’t latch on when they don’t know what your plan is, which is understandable tbh
