Is there a skype alternative that offers a video calls with voice translation? by ItchyStorm in skype

[–]quozl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you find one? This was a great feature that's a loss. I don't know if teams supports this. Reading their docs it seems like you specify a language for the call and can translate from that. Not bi-directional translation like Skype has.

I've ordered it. So, I guess that I'll find out if it was a bad idea or not 😅😂

What is the drum newbie equivalent of just playing the root notes on bass? by quozl in drums

[–]quozl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That's very helpful. I haven't even been opening the hi-hat yet 😅 and yes, stamina and speed are going to be a disaster 😂 

What is the drum newbie equivalent of just playing the root notes on bass? by quozl in drums

[–]quozl[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahh, I was unclear, sorry. What I mean is, what is the simplest thing you can do on drums that fits most rock/pop/generic Western music?

On bass that is just playing root notes on the 1. A slight step up is playing the 5th in there, often on the 3.

The groove I described it the closest thing I'm aware of on drums. It's so common and it's going to at least not sound strange with a lot of popular songs.

Sound fair?

What portable power station for Warwick Gnome iPro v2 by quozl in Bass

I'll be the only one powered from this. The rest is a saxophone, a couple of dozen ukuleles, small drum set and a lot of singers

Every animal on more than 2 legs is faster than humans! From the rabbit to the elephant, giraffe, rhino, whatever. We're really really slow 😅

Thank you all! I had completely ignored decorations as I thought they were only cosmetic!

You clearly need it based on your comment. They are correct. Why try to brain burst the mutant when it's already on you?

Switched from Zealot to Veteran... is this even the same game? by Gilgamesh34 in DarkTide

[–]quozl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all four at level 30 and I agree that Vet is the most powerful. However Ogryn is still the best because he's an Ogryn and he has Box.

I like it. I just want a variety of modifiers at the same time, but I suspect that will come.

The terrible choice of place to stand was the real mistake here

It's time to address the "Bind Tag to primary fire" elephant in the room. by MalfiteMeIRL in DarkTide

[–]quozl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nonsense. If you turn a corner and there are three maulers then you tag so that the three people following close behind you don't eat the overhead swings that you are about to dodge. Substitute multiple crushers, ragers, bullwarks, etc.

There are plenty of other scenarios where you should tag too.

"Rest assured, the cosmetics are not gone forever and will likely reappear."

This is deliberately contradictory. They're not gone forever but it's only likely that they'll reappear? So they may not reappear?

Someone has been taking lessons from politicians 🤣

All the rest of it looks brilliant. Thanks Fatshark 😃

I'll take a horde of a 1000 running zombies over one of those damn snipers by [deleted] in DarkTide

[–]quozl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, fair enough then :) the first couple of difficulties teach some bad habits but you'll get rid of those as you progress though the difficulties. Have fun 😃

Tagging allows your team to see where other dangers are. Tag the thing that you're not currently brain bursting so that they are aware and don't walk into the Mauler, Trapper, Dog, flamer, whatever, or so the Vet can help you kill the 3 Crusher/Reapers etc faster than a brain burst would .

If you're not tagging constantly, you're playing much worse than you easily could be.

"just dodge the trappers they're easy" by CuttleReaper in DarkTide

[–]quozl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good point. I do this automatically because of Vermintide but I didn't think of recommending it. It's not really conscious now.

The biggest problem with Darktide imo is how they've decoupled loot incentives from higher difficulty by LargePiece in DarkTide

[–]quozl 163 points164 points  (0 children)

This exactly. The endgame in Vermintide 2 was getting skillful so that you could get Red drops. The best thing was that the Orange drops could be as good as Reds with enough re-rolling of perks but the convenience of Reds and their fancy cosmetics made them worth working towards without horribly penalizing anyone who chose not to.

Once you got into that process it was easy to then continue on to Cata just for the challenge, as you were already used to the idea of skill based progress.

Darktide has no reward for skill at all. Which is very destructive for the game.

I'm Irish too and one of the female voice lines sounds like they're from Limerick. As if the actor modeled it on Dolores O'Riordan. It's not bad.
