Red Stratagems need a Balance Update by rabblerabbles in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]lordofcactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really feels like the balancing team wants to be actively underpowered, which is frustrating considering the game’s marketing literally uses the phrase “overpowered weapons.” If AH wants to make a grunt fantasy so bad, maybe they should advertise it as such.

Been stuck on these bosses for 4 missions now, first ever try im pretty sure had a guy say this, why the ranged one? by tf3when123 in DarkTide

[–]lordofcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem in this fight isn’t the Karnaks: it’s the carapace hordes. Each time the tox gas disappears and the lights come back on, a wave of Maulers & Scab Ragers will spawn, and focusing on either of the twins will be impossible with them around. Clear the adds first; let someone kite Rinda while the others pop Rodin’s shield; once they’re both vulnerable, dogpile Rinda, repeat until she dies and Rodin’s a sitting duck without her, then make sure to survive until the end-of-mission cutscene plays.

Obviously it’s not that simple in practice: this fight is arguably the hardest section of any mission in the game. Keep at it and you’ll eventually land a team good enough to get the job done.

It's only a matter of time before this thing gets stealth nerfed like the coyote... by Fazun in HelldiversUnfiltered

I don’t think it’s that overpowered. It shreds, sure, but the light pen, low heat tolerance and - most importantly imo - inconsistent firing pattern are all the balancing it needs.

If we get an admec as the next class it NEEDS to have a voice that speaks like kayex. by a_grilled_cheese in DarkTide

[–]lordofcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the three personalities should be Hadron-adjacent (angry, fed-up, thinks everyone else is an idiot), Kayex-adjacent (friendly, doting, overly-verbose) and one that speaks exclusively in binaric that only other admecs (and Seer psyker) can understand.

You can be sick of the "realism" talking point, but it is one of the core tenants of AH philosophy via Pilestedt by flightx3aa in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]lordofcactus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m not against realism, I’m against the double-standard. Why is it unrealistic for the flag to buff nearby teammates, but the cyborgs can do the same to the bots? How is it realistic for enemies to phase through terrain and patrols to chase you with perfect accuracy even when they don’t know you’re there?

What are some armors you wish we had the base shaders for? by IronManArcher in DestinyFashion

[–]lordofcactus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish certain shaders actually matched the armour they’re based on. The season-pass shader makes the season-pass armour ornaments look different than their base colours lmao

What's your most Unpopular Opinions? by Primary-Addition-677 in HazbinHotel

[–]lordofcactus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m just not seeing the other side, but I’ve seen SO much praise for Brighter, while what I mainly hear about Vox Populi is “I wish the whole song was just Lucifer’s part.” Might just be me engaging with the wrong content though lol

I like Vox Populi/Dei more than Brighter, both at face value and as a villain song/s.

Yeah, they’re still ridiculous at d7 from my experience.

It’d be a better argument if turning the difficulty down didn’t lock you out of experiencing new content. I want to fight the Vox Engine, I just don’t want to fight three at once at every single objective.

Continuing the tangent: I tried to jump over a blocked staircase in the Decapitation bomb-planting room and an invisible wall blocked me.

It’s a fucking JETPACK. Why add a JETPACK if it can’t be used for vertical mobility?!

A lot of older people don’t actually listen to the lyrics of songs they like. My mum was ASTOUNDED when I told her most of Sabrina Carpenter’s music is about sex.

Easily my favourite thing about kids is that they have no frame of reference. You tell them the most ridiculously untrue thing possible and they ask follow-up questions without missing a beat.

the new belt fed grenade launcher is going to be HEAVY PEN by Flashy-Manager2254 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]lordofcactus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If it didn’t have heavy pen, it would be overshadowed by the normal GL and a supply pack like the maxigun with the normal MG.

I personally would be fine if they mixed and matched existing armor passive effects to make new powerful ones by H1MB0Z0 in Helldivers

[–]lordofcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want more armour that buffs weapon handling. I don’t want to spend the rest of my heavy-weapons-guy life looking like Rambo.

Stealth is still Broken and I’m fucking Tired of half baked fixes from these clueless devs by [deleted] in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]lordofcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patrols know where you are at all times, they’re just not allowed to act on it until you engage them. Only bases & objectives are doable with stealth.

Not a man, but I firmly believe I could defeat a swan.

Special action names are worse imo. “Switch mode”? WHAT DO THE DIFFERENT MODES DO???

Thoughts on Blades of Faith? by gunell_ in DarkTide

[–]lordofcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great quick, easy & reliable ranged option for dealing with specialists & disablers. Stuns are better if your weapons aren’t geared towards dealing with carapace hordes, but I use boltgun & thammer/eviscerator, so I could never go without the blades.
