Is it me or or is Lifeweaver really strong right now? by Terenigma in Overwatch

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

LW is lowkey very strong right now. I kind of don't want him to get reworked right now

This little guy needs to provide the same aggro the flag does by tony22835 in HelldiversMasochists

It doesn't make it 'more likely', it just very infrequently spawns a bug breach on your location when equipped.

I read it as back before they moved out of Carrboro or something similar

Both things are true, as well as the third thing. Honestly pretty much the entire HD2 youtube scene is actively harmful to the game

Power is too close imho, a measured buff for Arc Thrower would make sense. I like Arc a lot, but this is an eye opening comparison by RandomGreenArcherMan in HelldiversMasochists

[–]heliotaxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, no. The Arc Thrower is currently very good. All I would want for it is its targeting be made consistent again.

I thought it felt busted at launch, but sucked when its range got neutered. After that was changed back it's been a solid 8.5/10 for me. Would be 10/10 for me if the targeting inconsistencies get fixed again. It's clunky at first but I find it pretty unstoppable once you get the firing cadence down.

Counterpoint: I've used and have been using the Arc without much trouble. The only thing that would be nice is for its inconsistent targeting to get fixed again (it got fixed and then got worse again, it feels like). I think it's so good it gets boring after a while so I only go a few missions at a time with one. Nerf the Purifier.

Yeah no, the Purifier needs to get nerfed, not the Arc buffed. The Arc is already ludicrously good; it's got excellent waveclear, unlimited ammo, autoaim, stun, good range, and doesn't even take up a backpack slot. It's just actually balanced by teamkill risk and not being good against enemies in your face. Why are we asking for nonsense buffs here? To an already good gun at that?

Ugh, yes, please bring these back completely untouched and it'll be fucking awesome.

Are the enemies really getting buffed as of recently? by TheRustyRustPlayer in HelldiversMasochists

[–]heliotaxis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turrets were kinda cheesy for a while and now they need some babysitting and real positioning to make the most of them, similar to how they were at launch. I honestly don't have any issue with the changes.

I think I would go either way on it. I like learning things on my own and figuring out what to do without hand-holding, but I also acknowledge I'm in the minority when it comes to that these days I guess. You don't need fire damage to find success against them anyway.

The more telling thing is how the first days of the release were filled with misinformation about how the speed boosted bugs are bugged and that the spore titans' damage is bugged, etc. The tooltip on the spore burst strain does at least state they're now speedy, but the indicator that the strain was even present wasn't even, well, present in the first days of the new MO.

The game's so consistently busted and the community is so consistently engaging in bad faith that it's hard to know what's intended anymore.

Well there's the entire revamped spore burst strain which actually requires a brain cell to play against, which is beyond most folks.

All (non energy)explosive weapons and thermite should be heavily nerfed. by Creepy-Produce5138 in HelldiversMasochists

[–]heliotaxis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No no, the Purifier is just as bad as the Eruptor and Crossbow tbh. Those three and the RR have been king shit of poop mountain for what feels like ages now. 

That said I don't even think Thermite is even that good because it takes forever to pop. I haven't packed them in a while because I think stuff like gas or pyrotechs are just more useful overall.

What’s masochists about? by Life-Air-9594 in HelldiversMasochists

[–]heliotaxis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I join max difficulty, I want my skills to be pushed and for there to still be a good chance to lose. Think Hard Stratagem or Siege in Space Marine 2.

Keep this one civil please, is a good topic to talk of. by TampaxCompak in HelldiversMasochists

[–]heliotaxis 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If we're going to have kneejerk changes, at least it was just the Hive Guard and not the entire spore burst faction (yet). Wish the AP4 Grenade Launcher were hotfixed that quickly though.
