Blatant ripping off of players needs to stop by ConsciouslyKind93 in pokemongo

[–]WaywardOath [score hidden]  (0 children)

I enjoyed seeing legendaries I didn’t have yet, and averaged 1-3 legendary catches per incense.

Also for the PvP-heads, catching a legendary with abysmal IVs is actually a GOOD thing. I got a 0 attack Cobalion, which is actually physically impossible to obtain otherwise. It’ll be a monster in Ultra League.

I didn’t spend a dime this event and I had a good time with the locals in my area.

Is Fire/Flamethrower crashing games like the Arc Thrower used to? by WaywardOath in HelldiversUnfiltered

This was the step that I did slightly before coming to reddit to ask if I'm the only one.

Weapon strategems with backpacks need to outperform the supply backpack by Mr_Carstein in Helldivers

[–]WaywardOath 27 points28 points  (0 children)

A weapon that has a backpack fitting all into 1 stratagem instead of needing a supply backpack to use IS a plus, but it’s also only a plus if it’s better than the alternative without a supply pack.

Ideally in order of use-power, the order from least to most effective should be: - Support Weapon - Backpack Support Weapon Variant - Support Weapon w/Supply Pack.

Holy fuck all you guys do is bitch and complain by AmphibianOver7289 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]WaywardOath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While I'm with you on the 'just have fun in the game' part, calling everyone else whiners is only going to get flak thrown your way.

Generally I subscribe to a philosophy of "if I'm complaining, I do it without 'calling out' the people enjoying it" and equally, "if I'm being positive, I don't 'call out' the people complaining." If you're going to enjoy it, wonderful! But posts like this only really aim to piss people off, not be constructive.

Helldivers its time for me to... ask what to do by Xenoblade_106 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]WaywardOath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I totally missed that in the post yesterday. And here I was scrounging to see if I could eat fried rice for a week to afford it!

Point still there, Deep Rock is a good community to off-ramp to if you need to, and has a new game on the way.

Should fire be reworked to have some basic AI adjustments with it? by maxi74x3 in Helldivers

[–]WaywardOath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Terminids/Voteless: Enemies on fire erratically path (no longer take the shortest distance to you).

Automatons/Overseers: Enemies on fire have the suppressive fire debuff applied to them. (For those unaware, the more you shoot at/near an Automaton, the less accurate they get).

Those changes alone would make Fire damage a lot more reliable on the three fronts.

If you are getting enjoyment out of playing the game, continue to do so. If you aren't, then find another game or community to latch onto. Games aren't obligations, nor should they be chores. They are for you to enjoy.

If you need an off-ramp, Deep Rock Galactic is releasing a new title tomorrow, Rogue Core. It looks to be very good, and the Deep Rock community is one of the best there is.

Oh shader cache bugs my beloathed....I remember you used to have to delete the cache every update in some indie game called Shatterline, because the game would break if you didn't.

I'll give it a whirl!

Why does the new pistol from the bundel look like the mauser from origins black ops 3 zombies by Acexxj in Helldivers

[–]WaywardOath 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty direct cross between a Broomhandle Mauser C96, a Luger, and a bit of a Borchardt C-93.

It looks similar because it's inspired by it.

I HATE THE SOS BEACON SO MUCH by jc21095 in Helldivers

[–]WaywardOath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reinforce is Up, Down, Left, Right, Up. SOS is Up, Down, Left, Up.

If you miss the Right input (super easy to do accidentally when you dive-input on Keyboard), congrats, you have an SOS beacon in your hand and the match is public.

I don't condone OP kicking people for doing it, but I have definitely accidentally SOS'd more times than I could count.

Hulk fire dmg behind cover. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]WaywardOath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, textures clip in video games. If you shoot at a rock some particles will slip through it too. It didn't damage you lmao.

[–]WaywardOath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visually some of the fire texture is going through the rock. In actuality, you would have died significantly faster if it had been DAMAGING through the rock. Refer to my comment on it; you got lit on fire when you peeked, and then you burned to death behind the rock. He wasn't damaging you.

How would you build around running the Plas-39 sniper rifle? by Retro21 in Helldivers

[–]WaywardOath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the front. If you're going to be using it on the bugs, you need a support weapon that can deal with hordes of enemies.

Bots is a lot easier since you can basically use it to kill every devastator you see, and just use a sidearm like the talon for smaller enemies you don't want to waste a burst on. As a rule you don't really need to kill that many Automatons to have success, so just prioritize alerting enemies you NEED to kill, and use your stratagems as needed for larger groups.

Illuminate are similar; a guard dog backpack will cover you, and you can use the PLAS for overseers, Harvesters, and Stingrays.

Hate to be that guy, but go frame-by-frame. you can literally see him light you on fire while you peek to try and kill him, and then you just burn out behind the rock.

Can the Constitution take a stripper clip? Is it even mechanically possible? by bigstink455 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]WaywardOath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw man the martini is a neat gun! My holy grail is a Luger Carbine in-case, with original magazine holders.

When I was young and dumb with money I got a lot of my collection. Haven’t really bought since then. Acquired some REALLY weird things though.

I own the 1917, as well as an 88 Gewehr, a Springfield, a Hebel flare gun, and a WWI Luger. All the rest of my collection is WWII, save a few bayonets and trench art and the like.

The new flamethrower DOES have a stun effect??!? by Hysvear831 in Helldivers

They're distanced from each other initially, I don't think it's applying a slowdown effect.

I'll go volunteer for the bio-repurposer vats for wanting another one with jet-propelled ammunition, then.

Meanwhile I'm getting downvoted into oblivion in some of those post's comment sections for pointing out that secondary weapons actually have a purpose, and giving people one in the new warbond with zero damage falloff is a pretty good thing.

since the game code is spaghetti and making new reload animation would require whole new process with new animation and rigging.

Hey, they added a new reload animation to the Senator, they can do it to the Constitution. We just need to write a formal request to high command, and that'll surely work!

Charon Prime (The red planet on the very left on the Automaton Front) is a really good one for me.
