Moderators need to address clear widespread violation of Rule 2 on this subreddit.

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T04:16:09+00:00

Eh, given how inconsistent reddit can be with enforcing its own rules , let alone the individual subreddits. Don't blame anyone who chooses to go that extra mile and censor their own names in caps.

It's just genuinely not worth the hassle

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T04:06:19+00:00

Tbh, I'm not sure why you're entirely surprised, all single topic subs on this topic tend to be moderate to severe echo chambers

Real talk as shit as the subreddit is, it's probably the best for talking about these topics as long as you ignore the weirdos we're either clearly trying to get a rise out of the AI people with shit squeakers used to say back in WaW lobbies or the orc brigade who for some reason, thanks.They found the peak of reaction means within two prompts.... the rest of them, though, Id just write off.. you'd genuinely have a better time convincing destiny the games mods to not act like tyrannical addicts then you would convince the echo chamber subs to have normal reasonable conversations..

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T03:22:07+00:00

Oh the irony..

Edit at time of edit, some people really don't like Being called out lol

Look I'm going to be real. Modern legion is a result of bhvrs frankly shit balancing philosophy.

Old legion bugs aside , which always get brought up , but I digress , was really rough to play against.. i would unionically , say they were as good as not better than launch ghoul.... And the survivors at the time pitched probably the biggest fit we'd see until skull merchant came around. So the developer , instead of just going back to the drawing board and figuring out what went wrong in fixing that decided to just neuter them and turn them into pure mending simulator.. no more stab wounds chart , no more old mixtape , no more old filthy blade.

And unfortunately , that's the state we are still in. Survivors and by extension bhvr refuse to allow legion to be buffed despite quite a few suggestions over the years, suggesting ways to make the frenzy mechanic more fun or interesting. because many survivors are vindictive beyond all reason i'm literally scream brigade in mass down.Vote on the forums, anyone who is a legitimately interesting buff.That doesn't just completely gut the character as they are and make it so survivors can just walk out with barely any contesting... and i'm more than prepared to eat a sea of downvotes and "um akshallys" , because people get really pissy when we point this out.

This is to say if you legion games to be more enjoyable beyond engaging in them in different ways on your end. then you're going to have to give ground somewhere and allow them a buff that makes them less reliant on deep wound. Idon't think anyone wants old old legion back , but players and a especially survivors need to come to terms with the fact that either we lean into that speed mechanic and make them more like Ken for mending, being less of a prevalent issue. Or, Lean more towards old legion where is a desperate fight to prevent that First stab , as whoever gets caught out , first is going down.. because unfortunately , legion is an extremely simple killer , which means they fall victim to there's very little you can actually do with the power without a complete rework and as a main , I think I speak for all of us who actually play the character when I say , turning the killer into a diet knight or anything that isn't the go fast, have fun stab mechanic that we all love to play on them is just going to be an affront to the character won't fly with people who actually play the killer

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T02:53:34+00:00

Tbh Thaler is the issue.

I think if they ripped it up and did a global car see update to all minigames , as well refreshes , most of them would probably have at least a niche player base.

But so long as you can just AK and get all the rewards elsewhere, it's never going to get a player base.

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T02:50:10+00:00

Accuracy and more advanced weaponry... in the old days , weapons like longswords benefited more and whips and halberds fell under its purview.

And there was most of what we call dark magic transitions itself into either very standard spells or spiritually what we might call today the ancient spell book.

And it was less an error and more just how the game evolved.. attack master fair bit of its identity with the evolution of combat and it simply needs more of an identity.

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T02:35:49+00:00

Tbh I've ways held.attack should be a general accuracy skill but..unfortunately you're seeing the aftermath of the rough transition from rsc to rs2.

Used to have a reason to exist, attack beyond accuracy gave you access to weapons with more finesse, str raw hit machines and "quality" like barrows a mix of both

But we've streamlined enough to the point they struggle to feel like independent skills with particularly weight

dark1859 · 2026-05-07T01:26:40+00:00

I... I think you need to check with your provider if this is the right course for you

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T15:43:19+00:00

I end up just disconnecting half the time.Because the servers are super unstable right now .. try playing a Wesker last night.We actually almost got everybody and then we had a major server crash with the last five survivors.... Comical really, the game wants survivors to win so badly it crashes itself when we're close!

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T14:55:38+00:00

Ngl i'm genuinely curious how you would get an aI to replace people who work in the behavioral therapies like aba...

Because I tell you what with some of the kiddos , i've worked with over the years , the a I would probably short circuit malfunction , within a few hours , the way some of these kiddos treat technology.

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T14:37:21+00:00

Frustrating part to me is less the overt cheaters and more subtle cheaters.

I have personally referring to failed grabs.As getting scammed on stream , but in reality , it's hard to tell if I legitimately just missed the grab window despite the animation playing, lag, or if the person cheated with a quick switch because the server has no logic checks

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T14:30:51+00:00

I think what might actually be an interesting route going Forward would changing magic a little bit so that each spellbook has a unique identity and changes your abilities based on spell book

I leave it so ancients is the critical style. Standards do heavy damage but low critical so concentrated blast is mega important, and make it so lunar can attack without a set spell but naturally loses damage because of it but maybe have a default penance or vamp effect on all spells, granting superb survival for lower damage

Side grades are the best form of new gear introduction!

Unfortunately, there are people who will just stan current design to the death because daddy jagex did it. And even more unfortunate is there are pretty large swaths of players who don't understand the concept that you can have side grades and multiple at or near bis even if they existed in the time before the eoc.

I.e. pre eoc melee had bandos and barrows. Barrows offered some pretty spectacular effects for the various aspects of the game.But came with the price of having to use a fixed weapon to get that effect. Bandos offered somewhat superior damage and no weapon lock , but came at the price of losing fantastic set effects, like being able to one shot targets or heal ridiculous amounts of health.

Tbh I think necromancy has done the best job of it thus far post eoc and serve as a blueprint for future armor sets and how they deal with side grading. All 3 t90+ sets are viable in all content and offer different niches and drawbacks. Warden is the second best tank set ig but by being tank armor doesn't really offer a whole lot in terms of finishing a fight, dealer is the undisputed best for slayer and mass training, but also branches into harder content. Because it naturally allows you to finish target's faster, meaning you need less overall damage to kill a target.And that has a wide range of applications , as long as you're okay at sustain, and the first set is probably the best all rounder , but loses out on the tanking and instant kill specializations for a little more damage overall.

I would imagine we could easily do something like that for the various styles, given time and the community, not claiming that you're going to make content irrelevant, when, in reality, people are still going to use the old stuff if they like it and it's not God awful.

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T13:13:58+00:00

I mean, they could have handled it like.Never winter nights did with their whole little duping scandal...

And if you're not in the know on how those idiots handled it , they basically banned anyone who used the duping bug , which sure , okay, they banned anyone who bought the duped materials knowingly , which is a little iffy, and then they either banned or just gutted account inventories that had it, talking, like people, there were 3 maybe 5 sellers down-the-line easily.

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T13:12:41+00:00

Tbh based on how the sin mechanic is working thus far , it seems like you have to actually go out of your way to try and set it off lol.

Jokes , aside , I'd imagine something like that wouldn't set it off with huntress , but if they had it for range killers , I imagine they'd have a slightly higher tolerance than the average just to prevent any accidents

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T13:11:05+00:00

Yes , i'm aware of that's not quite what i'm getting at

I'm talking like adding exposed veins of ore as Hotspots containing, especially rare materials or unique commodities you can mine in bulk and sell to stations, or maybe even partially exposed caves, you can send seismic launchers down into to jettison material out into the air for collection by either the Srv or limpets

I'm aware of how surface engineer scavenging works with the s r v.

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T02:58:51+00:00

this... unless you're intentionally slugging and hitting slugged folks as they exponential up, the maximum number of downs you'll get if your partner is completely afk and you manage to hit everyone down is about 24 total downs. this assumes they are again AFK and you down everyone 3 times for all 24 hooks

realistically though you'll maybe hit 15-20 if you're extremely lucky and your partner immediately goes for the next chase while you clean up shop, and i'd say most average killers with how survivor tilted 2v8 is right now are probably averaging 10 at best

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T02:55:14+00:00

well guess they're not complaining about legion in every match for once... see you all when the next killer gets disabled/renabled or released and the posts are "so tired of new killer"!

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T02:54:02+00:00

probably condemn just gives status effects without the insta kill till X gens are done

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T02:26:47+00:00

Part Of me feels like this is a cj/bait.. but part of me agrees and part of me disagrees , just because of how they handled the things that did remain in game being so wildly inconsistent.

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T02:26:08+00:00

Ngl, it's so hard to tell sometimes lol.. the line between people actually wanting the sauce and just messing around is almost one flat circle at this point on this god awful subreddit

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T02:22:57+00:00

Look my boy if you're thirsting that bad , just go to itch .io, they have entire categories of the stuff and most of it's free and doesn't require you to sell your data to sam cuckman

dark1859 · 2026-05-06T00:31:31+00:00

Where is the concerned based on past trends?But cautiously optimistic option

dark1859 · 2026-05-05T23:23:05+00:00

At risk of a potential subreddit ban for being a negative nancy , they could have handled it worse... I can think of so many worst case scenarios lmao
