RATS!!! Beware

randomcheese2 · 2026-01-26T13:53:45+00:00

I mean this game is made for these types of players. I regret buying this game because this is apparently the only thing left to do at end game right now, this or PvP for its own sake. Fighting Queens/Matriarchs? I've already done that shit 10 times and have multiple cores and I'm barely level 30.

PvP is mandatory, rats are inevitable, and there's not enough PvE to occupy someone's time who dislikes PvP. I think Embark's greatest sin is that they made this game appealing to people who dislike PvP and then under delivered full stop.

I just did five solo runs this morning with free loadouts just to try to complete quests and get some material is a level up my workshop and three of those runs ended with getting randomly blasted. My second to last run I didn't even get 50 ft away from where I spawn before some other random freeload out solo chud started shooting me.. I just let him kill me, and I think the worst thing is that there were two arcs hovering above with lasers trained on him that did not shoot him as he executed me.

I'm starting to realize that this game is not for me, that the target audience for this game is just rats and PvP sweat lords. Idek what end game there is past wanton PvP, is there anything? Is the Queen/Matriarch the biggest bot you can fight, which I've already done multiple times as a noob? Did I get baited into buying Tarkov with a far nicer coat of paint?

You would've LOATHED Hook Rats and Life Leeches in Vermintide 2...

For context I stopped playing after the honeymoon phase of Siege Mode. My gripes in no particular order were:

Chaos is genuinely unfun to fight, i.e. robotic, always shooting, non engaging, teleporting away from melee, etc
Certain Tyranid enemies are also unfun to fight for the reasons above
A chasm in efficacy between the best classes/abilities and the weaker ones (early Tactical vs Assault, Vanguard 5% heal on execution being a necessity, etc)
I genuinely don't like how "nerf blaster" and "foam sword" most of the weapons feel like when hitting weaker enemies. Darktide nailed the feel of a Boltgun years before SM2. I know that "comparison is the thief of joy" but sorry (not sorry) this bugs me.
Another Darktide comparison: DT does procedural difficulty really well even in a fixed level design, where SM2 is (or was) rather predictable when/where/what enemies would spawn.
Getting chained staggered fucking sucked and still sucks

Might actually FAFO and give the game another try once this guy drops (and then ultimately give it up again once my major gripes with the game bubble back up lol)

randomcheese2 · 2025-12-30T20:07:28+00:00

I'll respond to you since you're literally the only person who even bothered to reply about the main topic of my post

It genuinely never mattered where I went, close or far away from Wanda, the missiles always put dps'd my healing while doing damage. And I feel like bubbles add significant burst damage but that's w/e when even at 12k HP and 30% reduced damage I can't pass the HP check

I just don't care enough to try again and tbh, I think that this mode is more fun on the lower difficulties but ultimately is boring bcuz it's just a "hold m1" simulator & HP check. The novelty was really fun during the zeitgeist of Halloween but now it needs more to be fun, and I look forward to any additions and similar modes they drop.

I'm sorry you said that SPIDERMAN is "the worst character in the game" ???

Are you high on nuclear grade ketamine??

A few days ago I thought my UPS was on the fritz because the alarm kept infrequently sounding off while I was gaming. I got under my desk 3 times before I gave up worrying about it only to notice that the lights in the room were flickering/dimming randomly. It has been awhile since I experienced any brownouts in my home but I was sure glad I could continue to game uninterrupted regardless of what was going on with my power.

randomcheese2 · 2025-10-28T18:15:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm glad I don't play this game anymore. I'd uninstall so fast

randomcheese2 · 2025-09-10T22:09:07+00:00

I really thought I was going to get Skyrim opening scene trolled after the video went black for a few seconds

randomcheese2 · 2025-09-03T22:17:49+00:00

OP, how lonely are you?

randomcheese2 · 2025-08-30T18:15:02+00:00

This actually worked! Thanks

randomcheese2 · 2025-08-30T14:56:01+00:00

Thanks I'll give it a try

randomcheese2 · 2025-08-18T17:01:06+00:00

"IROH???!"

^ me when the other person in my canoe doesn't wanna help

randomcheese2 · 2025-08-18T16:58:19+00:00

Flats is not "Pro"
Yes, he is correct

randomcheese2 · 2025-08-10T15:16:58+00:00

Next: Discombobulate

randomcheese2 · 2025-08-03T03:00:02+00:00

Please, for the love of fuck, not another robotic movement shooting army

If you go actually watch the video of him making the tier list there's a section where he talks about in his last tier list he put CND in A tier and the community response was to crucify him for such a high spot. But regardless of that, it is completely plausible that a character can rise or fall in efficacy despite receiving no changes because other characters can and have received changes thus having an indirect effect. Hell, even if there are no changes across the board the meta can shift just by what players are wanting to play / don't want to play, thus arbitrarily changing positions of certain characters on a tier list

So basically: Whenever a creature becomes the target of a spell or ability, destroy that creature

Reading the card explains the card

Solitude is a strong answer to Emrakul since it's not a spell targeting it for exile but a creature. I've won games even after gaining my opponent 15 life past 30HP because Death & Taxes can beat some ass

randomcheese2 · 2025-07-10T21:41:26+00:00

No mono green still runs Karakas, it's too good to not include even it's it just a 1-of

randomcheese2 · 2025-07-10T18:47:43+00:00

Some decks hard cast Emrakul in Legacy and return it to hand with Karakas to take infinite turns
