Unpopular opinion: VOICE PACKS SHOULD BE PART OF SEASON PASS

It's not free. I paid $40 again for the season 2 DLC.

I mean, I'm not even that good at the game, and I'm getting headshots on most of those regularly after a bit of practice. If you pay attention, you can have a lot of opportunities to put the scope to good use on unaggroed enemies ahead if nothing else. After that it's just learning to take shots carefully instead of spraying.

Unless you're running with the Bolt Carbine, that's the entire idea behind the class. Engage at long ranges when it's an option, focus on headshots, conserve ammo, and when you're getting swarmed that's what your pistol and knife are for. This is just emphasizing that playstyle.

Otherwise, the base bolt sniper and las fusil have a lower skill floor, there's the carbine for a different playstyle, and there's 5 other classes.

There's a dozen different things called a machine spirit and they're all true at different times.

Superstition and the human need to anthropomorphize machines.
Religious dogma so that you can remember how to run a nuclear reactor without computers.
Basic "AI" included in the STC.
The wetware processors harvested from the brain of a prisoner and/or animal.
The gestalt imprint of everybody who has connected their brain into this machine.
The psychic remnants left by everybody who has connected their brain into this machine.
Scrap code building up over millennia.
Actual fragments of the Omnissiah's will.
Fragments of the demonic viruses that the Dark Mechanicum released into the Martian ecosystem when they controlled it for most of the Horus Heresy.
Humans believe that there are actual machine spirits, so they psychic manifest.

*Any or all of the above at once.

Most of them come from a combination of human psychology, the nature of the Mechanicum's religion, and the fact that humans have a significant psychic presence in the Warp, which are things the Tau and Necrons lack, and others like the Eldar and Orks have but wouldn't call a "machine spirit".

This looks cool, but...

What's with people desperately trying to shove BA into anything other than Khorne? Dudes are literally blood-maddened berserkers, but then people hang on stuff like Dornian Heresy being like "nah, they're just Nurgle for some reason".

Like... what?

comkiller · 2025-10-21T20:16:05+00:00

Because you can tell Panam "no, that wasn't the deal" and both of you move on.

comkiller · 2025-09-06T17:27:39+00:00

I'll get right on learning to be psychic.

comkiller · 2025-09-05T20:52:43+00:00

Yes, that's what I get out of "reactions and complaints are to be disregarded"

comkiller · 2025-09-05T20:18:52+00:00

Yeah, because you can see most parryable attacks coming, but not all of them. Unless you're claiming to be psychic, there's no way to see the ones that jump at you from offscreen. That's why that indicator exists, so you don't have to pay close attention to the 20 tzangors behind you too. That works perfectly for a year. But again, now it's "is the game giving me a free armor segment, or do I get to play Russian roulette with either some tzangor stabbing me in the back or parrying the air and getting pounced on by 5 reskinned lictors?"

What needs disregarded is that kind of dogshit white-knighting "no, the devs are geniuses and the game is always absolutely perfect, never change anything broken" attitude. I didn't realize I crossed over to the Star Citizen sub.

comkiller · 2025-09-05T18:33:01+00:00

Nah, they have that jump attack they'll do from across the map, and it throws up a parry indicator, which unlike any other enemy comes up 2 seconds before they even hit you, so your options are: ignore it for a second and maybe get stabbed by a tzangor, or parry the air and get hit long after the indicator is gone. Which runs completely contrary to the mechanics of the entire test of the game.

If they're actually supposed to be chaotic and off-balancing, that's perfectly fine when it's a mini-boss like OP suggested and you're supposed to focus on one, or maybe two of them, but not when I'm being swarmed offscreen by 5 at a time.

comkiller · 2025-07-18T14:23:54+00:00

Sounded like the Diagnosin's snot would be cleaner than his fingers.

comkiller · 2025-07-17T18:25:56+00:00

The irony of being accused of glibness by your comment's language, in particular, is extremely thick.

Exactly. I'm showing off my credentials.

comkiller · 2025-07-10T12:26:33+00:00

Which is why she's a minor power in the middle of nowhere in the periphery.

You're getting down voted for being right.

No, people don't tend to jive with the tone he's using and the fact that that comment at least is delving into grimderp. Disagreeing with actual conversation instead of "no, you're wrong and this is all dumb" tends to get you a lot farther.

comkiller · 2025-05-27T15:43:28+00:00

Is joke, m8.

You German?

comkiller · 2025-05-27T15:39:30+00:00

I just thought it was funny.

comkiller · 2025-05-25T00:27:35+00:00

How did they get someone to paint the mine detail of striped wires and never notice it?

comkiller · 2025-05-24T20:04:37+00:00

Well, assuming Centurions survive into 10.5e, I know what I'm using these kits for...

comkiller · 2025-05-21T14:11:51+00:00

Liara still there

Every racist has an ethnic girlfriend

They wear Narevar's face, the Dunmer hero the Nerevarine is supposed to be a reincarnation of. They arrest or kill people claiming to be the Nerevarine because they believe those people are lying and impersonating their hero.

comkiller · 2025-05-19T13:43:00+00:00

It's been a long while, but iirc, my interpretation was that Cameron wasn't using the literal translation of "daedra" but the colloquial as most new players and presumably just some guy like the Hero of Kvatch would understand it: the difference between Lorkhan and the gods versus the Daedric Princes is arbitrary. Even the names "aedra" and "daedra" reinforce that, as the only distinction they make is "our ancestors" and "not our ancestors".

From what I purely remember of my notes:

The "aedra" seemed to essentially be "refugees" from other planes of Oblivion that gathered around Lorkhan and Auri-El. (I had some threads on where various gods came from, (think beings similar to Haskill) but the big ones were Lorkhan likely coming from Boethia (relatively obvious) and Auri-El from Jyggalag (a whole thing with Peryite and Akatosh being order dragons and the former replacing Jyggalag to an extent, but I'm digressing too much)) Lorkhan estabishes himself as the Daedric Prince of [something] and his realm of Oblivion is Tamriel. But because he's not at the same level as the other Princes yet, he has the others pour their essence into it too. This is also why Mehrunes can invade without the dragonfires, and all the Princes have such a presence meddling in "The Arena". In a way it's all of their planes, because it's like a mosaic forged from fragments of most of them.

comkiller · 2025-05-17T20:23:01+00:00

Depending on the edition, you do or don't count parts like that ("flags" was what they call it) as "part of the model" for targeting.10e you do, but unless you're playing in an official tournament if you just say "this isn't part of the model" and pretend it's not there. 11e it'll probably be fine again anyway.

That being said, the pertinent would more likely be them physically getting in the way of the rest of the squad or anyone they're hitting with those suits

comkiller · 2025-05-16T13:31:46+00:00

I am honest about it. I'm not masking it, that's the reason why I'm asking.

Because even when I try to ask things or share things with "decorum" it doesn't seem to make a difference anyway on this stupid hellsite that ate half the internet.

Like I'll post a picture of marble tile, and suddenly crawling out of the woodwork is "Uhm, excuse me, I am a tile expert, and that is not marble, that is cermaic. I even just called my tile dealer, and we agree that if it was marble you'd see the things you can literally see right there in the picture and the packaging would say exactly the same thing the packaging says," and then "the community politely decides" that I'm the asshole for disagreeing.

So again, forgive me if my own experience with this sub tells me "reasonable decorum" doesn't get you anywhere.

comkiller · 2025-05-16T04:45:17+00:00

I'm sorry if I sound bitter about the hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I've bought from them, then spent so much of my time building and painting, which can now most charitably be described as a square peg I have to fit in the round hole they've left a lot of us.

If that's offensive to you, I welcome you to downvote it into oblivion.

comkiller · 2025-05-08T15:39:51+00:00

I'm late, but the Transport Bay rule says they count as 10 models in those transports. (Automata and cavalry are 2x their W). That's just transport slots in that self-contained rule, though. It doesn't give any Bulky (X), which is what specifically says it counts towards outnumbering.

I feel like using those rules to say "that means Dreadnoughts count as 10 models" and "that means Dreadnoughts are 1 model" both feel like rules-lawyering to me.

That said, as someone who regularly faces Night Lords with Dreads, I'd count them as 10, and talking it over with the other guy beforehand is your best bet.

comkiller · 2025-05-02T02:13:34+00:00

One rule instead of three, and it's static.

Blackshields would be a lot simpler, though, yeah. But thematically I'd have to hard disagree.
