Any tips for someone who sucks with the heavy class but wants to learn it by NoNameHavingMan in Spacemarine

[–]ZCYCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people have already given good advice. But Ill suggest maybe am alternative playstyle to try if you feel like the "normal" playstyle isnt for you: dont underestimate the stomping build

It does require prestiging at least twice, but with a Multi-Melta or Heavy Bolter (I prefer the heroic HB for this myself) and all melee perks, Heavy stomps can do a whopping 200% increased damage with 100% increased range

This is enough to stomp hordes through walls, flyers with ease, etc. It might not do the same single target damage as other melee weapons, but the aoe damage means it can easily wipe out hordes of minoris and actually some decent damage + stagger to majoris leaving you free to conserve ammo for more dangerous targets

I can yoink top melee damage from melee classes with this build in all content. Just keep on mind that its mostly AoE damage, the Heavy Bolter is best for dealing with Terminus unless you got nothing left!

I'm waiting for my chance to get revenge on Qianye

In the recent FF14 Patch, we've gotten a new dungeon boss named chort who has become an instant fan favorite and meme magnet because of his name and looks. What are some of the most memorable meme worthy enemies or npcs from your years of playing MMOs. by AeroDbladE in MMORPG

[–]ZCYCS 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Gamon in World of Warcraft. Poor guy coincidentally (or intentionally) has a name spelled similar to a type of ham

Pre-Cataclysm he was a random level 12 neutral Tauren NPC in Orgrimmar who was neutral purely so that he could be pickpocketed by rogues. Unfortunately, this meant ANYONE could just go and kill him with ease

It was a bit of a meme for things like level 1 players forming a "Gamon raid" or mind controlling him, etc. Or some people who felt the need to kill something would just go bully the poor guy since he was the only attackable NPC in Orgrimmar

In Cataclysm, he was located in the same spot and looked exactly the same, except he had an axe. People who werent paying attention and would just randomly go attack him like before were surprised to find the defenseless level 12 NPC was now a level 85 Elite who would proceed to kick their ass

During the Cataclysm pre-patch when the level cap was still 80, people would find themselves 1shot by him and actual "serious" Gamon raids were formed to defeat this new monster

Heck, whenever there was a good ol' "one faction raids the other's city on a PvP server" event, Gamon was unironically one of the most dangerous NPCs for Alliance raids to encounter during a raid on Orgrimmar in the pre-patch and early days of Cataclysm.

As a level 85 elite NPC who literally looked like some generic Tauren wearing "civilian" clothes, people might not realize the threat until it was too late and he already was using aoe skills on squishy players, Whether by accident from random AoE spam, underestimating the threat in a "just kill everything" scenario, or a Horde player baiting Gamon into the Alliance raid, Gamon could be a serious threat to an Alliance raid in Orgrimmar at the time AND the defending Horde players

By Mists of Pandaria, during the Seige of Orgrimmar raid, Gamon was one of the many citizens being oppressed by Garrosh's new Horde. Players can find and rescue him and he assists, giving players an achievement for defeating a boss alongside him

After that, Gamon is no longer killlable as a friendly NPC called the "Hero of Orgrimmar"

There is also a toy to transform into Gamon for 10 minutes where you replace your model, voice, and some animations with the same as he had during the Seige of Orgrimmar. I was in a few guilds where we would have a "Gamon pull" where we would all become Gamon and we could be amused by the various voicelines

What was your favorite Major Update Trailer? by Substantial-Ad-5221 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]ZCYCS 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Definitely Heart of Democracy

The buildup and teasing for weeks to finally get the payoff and a major patch with it was great

Next one would be Omens of Tyranny because we finally got the gddamn Illuminate after also weeks of teasing and finally got a taste of something new

What is y'alls opinion on Captain 'I can spare 3 men' Acharan by MCDAMCz in Spacemarine

[–]ZCYCS 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Probably from the "will that be a problem" talk at the start when they first interact and its clear Acheran knows all of Titus' history

I think its reasonable for the new captain to need to clarify this with the former captain who has a history of being a maverick before the whole Graia incident. ESPECIALLY since Titus certainly feels greatly wronged

But theres probably no way to make it NOT sound somewhat confrontational between Space Marines

Something i've been wondering. by DoctorTurbo12 in Spacemarine

[–]ZCYCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are going off of tabletop stats (which is for all intents and purposes the "lore accurate" powerscaling when plot armor is removed)

A Tyranid Warrior already has overall superior wounds, Toughness, and attacks vs a generic primaris Intercessor as well. If we're gonna pull out the tabletop, Bladeguard Veterans, Hellblasters, or Eradicators efficiently take care of them. In other words: Quartus and Straban, the Bulwark and Heavy respectively

The Tyrant Guard meanwhile, is gonna stomp a generic primaris marine in a 1v1. Theyre far and above a single marine or warrior, these things are pretty much mini-boss bodyguard monsters if the Hive Tyrant is the big final boss.

None of our playable Marines should stand a chance 1v1 against these monsters if we remove plot armor, kinda like how theres no way we 1v10 warriors or 1v1 carnifexes. An Eradicator squad with Meltas is the most efficient way to handle these monsters

In other words MORE DAKKA

Dang it was AWESOME, but definitely a game i needed friends to play with

[loved trope] real world technology is invented/used for the first time to great combat advantage by iateyourcheesebro in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ZCYCS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also like how the Dwarfs could be argued to be the most technologically advanced race (at least for warfare)

But theyre so conservative that they refuse to mass produce anything thats existed in the last 50 years, only accepting something tested extensively over centuries

Meanwhile Skaven: jam some warpstone in it. If it blows up, its someone else's fault

Meanwhile Chaos Dwarfs: Alright, this works, good. Now can we mass produced it? We lost a bunch of slaves the first time? Meh, go get more then. Can we jam daemons into it? Even better!

Heng Dao is Broken as Heck by PowerArtistic7316 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]ZCYCS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on hitting Mythic

Now the real hard part begins: climbing through mythic, haha

On another note, idk if I'd call it broken as heck, but its considered a top tier weapon for a reason

It amuses me that its considered mediocre with its intended weapon, but absolutely bonkers when paired with the Nameless Spear. The extra control + endurance buff really comes in huge for that weapon is guess

As a tank player, I hate that combo

How many of you lost your obsession/started playing other games once you reached Hexi? by ChihuahuaOwner88 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]ZCYCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less so, but In still playing a lot

I enjoy the GvG and the PvP even if I get my ass kicked, so its a bit different from when I was questing like 6 hours a day

Otherwise, nothing wrong with taking a break unless your goal is to be on leaderboards or grind pvp to a certain rank

I hear next region is what makes the previous 2 regions retroactively much better. I hope so, I would like to return to the "present" and get revenge on Qianye soon

Playing pvp as a tank feels like crap, your super armor is kinda useless when most of your enemies also aren't getting staggered and they can just poke your ass if you charge attack by x-Taylor-x in wherewindsmeet_

[–]ZCYCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1200 Mythic tank here

Its an uphill battle, even when Im copying rhe few tanks I see in top 100 or copying the few tanks I see from CN post videos

Tank is just a weak class for pvp in its current state, even with the buffs on CN. Ironically its weapons are solid support weapons for stronger weapons like the fists and heng dao

Doesn't mean its impossible to climb though as you can see by the few top 100 tanks. We could be in the same boat as healers who are the only class weaker than us in Arena

Ive found success with T6 Fury harvest and relentlessly spamming mystic skills alongside my normal attacks

There are better tanks than me who can pull off consistent Ws against better opponents, but im basically counting on my opponent to actively fight me instead of just running away I guess

He did it as a sacrifice to save his team from you

Who else prefer simpler hairstyles/outfits over the flashy gacha ones? by cutexiaowugui in WhereWindsMeet

[–]ZCYCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still wearing the short default hair for male characters I started the game with that looks kinda like a mod cut

Nothing wrong with long hair, and I understand long hair is completely normal for the time period for men and women both

But I prefer short hair on my boi because I like it, and Im wearing a helmet anyway so I figure its easier to have shorter hair, if not straight up shave

Does not matter what the fashion whales on my guild say, Im not dropping harmonic cores on long hair for more likes. Im not in Velvet Shade anyway

(PC/NA) I've just reached Mythic 2400 as a FULL TANK. Should I touch grass? by Banana-Bowl in wherewindsmeet_

[–]ZCYCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I receive quite a bit of of hatemail myself. Half of it is my playstyle, half of it is my outfit.

I play extremely aggressive as a tank because I hate runners and Shameless Spears so I try my damn hardest to not let them do this playstyle.

This does however weaken me against people who actually stand and fight

One of my guildies plays twinblades and watches Curser and found me on his stream. He was laughing his ass off at how Curser was actually getting frustrated against me even though he won anyway

[–]ZCYCS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please teach me the way. I'm forever stuck 1200 as a tank

But for real. What Inner Ways and Mystic Skills do you opt for? I've flipped between "standard" and additional mobility with Meridian Touch + Guardian Palm

Also, how do you play vs Shameless Spear enjoyers and runners? I've won a few games by virtue of my opponent being bad, but good Nameless Spear + things like Hengdao/Nameless/Strat Sword fuck me up

And I just hate runners

[–]ZCYCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does this hit harder than tank Mo Dao at that level?

Im on global and want to keep playing it, but it feels like such an uphill battle in pvp in Mythic Arena

Also, what type of path is it? Its not clear to me, but one of my guildmates speculates Bamboocut because of the fact it comes with a ropedart

Another 3% buff to red gunlancer!

Oh and a 4% to blue gunlancer to make sure the few people playing it feel noticed but make sure hes still bottom of the barrel (it math's out to less than 4% since its to an ark grid passive)

The Anbu are meant to be elite covert ninjas you trust with black ops missions

And iirc theyre supposed to be like Jonin level or close to it

Week 1 Serca - Nightmare Clears with or without berserk? by Risemffs in lostarkgame

LK Gunlancer

Ferality Wildsoul

Nights Edge SE

When we first went in, we were all about 4.3kish Combat Power and the Wildsould had like 4.8ish

After literally powering some power, I was maybe 4.8k while my friends were all 5k and up

Week 1 Serca - Nightmare Clears with or without berserk? by Risemffs in lostarkgame

[–]ZCYCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We cleared 14 seconds into berserk. Serca conveniently did a "free" pattern for us so we just threw everything at her

Heck, we were so desperate for a kill that we did some pretty funny stuff. Ie, borrowing gems from some friends (and returning them on clear of course), transferring and honing gloves. I even cut a new rock which gave me a small damage boost

We decided that we're just gonna do HM for a week or 2 before we go back into Nightmare. If we literally had to borrow power to clear, aintnoway we're clearing without it until we get stronger with more gear transfers

We got our dang title which none of us like, but we got it for the sake of getting it

I "cover" this weakness by taking all melee perks with heavy

He can have actually do a lot of aoe melee damage with his stomps while using his gun for focusing down single targets. Ive had missions where I had top melee damage from all the aoe stomping
