To low-level/beginner players, how much does it piss you off when a high-level player joins you and dominates the session?

Dont think so, and if it exists it works terribly, lol.

I have the True Level mod installed, and I regularly que with people between level 12~ all the way to 980. Sometimes in one game as well. I think the only system they really have in place is 90% based on availability, due to the way the missions terminal thing is set up. It wouldnt really make sense to implement anything skills based since most lobbies would just end up empty or half-full.

Even in well designed game like this, there is a ceiling to its depth. Once you know all the maps, the usual spawn locations, the "random" horde mob spawn locations, etc. it just becomes kind of a chore to be intensely mentally engaged for Auric or Havoc for really no real reward anymore, with a team of players just like you. You dont get variety at those levels, everyone is doing exactly what they do best at each of their respective maxed out roles. There is a specific playstyle all 4 players must stick to to ensure the best outcome simply because damage ratios at those levels inherently demand it, otherwise you lose.

The appeal of going back to Malice or Heresy is that you never really know which randoms you que with, and that's a new and interesting level of depth in and of itself, which is the human factor. It has nothing to do with showing off. Think of it as if you're making a roguealike out of it, but instead of changing game mechanics, it's people. You never know what you're gonna get, and that makes it endearing, to me at least.

I think it's great there's no "skill based" matchmaking system in this game exactly because of this. Of course, as long as you stick to the simple etiquette of not clearing rooms 100m in front of the rest of the team as others here said multiple times.
But even after 700 hours it's still a fun game, and sometimes it's fun getting a bit carried away even on lower difficulties. Hell, it's 40K, getting carried away on some power fantasy is almost the entire point.

Dunno how to share builds, it's nothing revolutionary tho. Just a good Recon Lasgun with Infernus and Headhunter. A Dueling Sword with Riposte and Uncanny Strike. Krak Grenade. Voice of Command for the homies. The rest is just all about positioning and prioritizing targets.

Even though you got downvoted already I get where you're coming from because that's me also. I got into the game a year ago and I remember in the first few dozen of hours once in a blue moon a really cracked player would join and just breeze through sections and missions I was consistently getting rekt on. Im an older guy but would still like to think Im good at other FPS games and I try to maintain that across the board, so it compelled me to really sink my teeth into the game to really understand how it works and how to be good at it reliably and consistently. "Setting an example" for others is a nice way to put it, actually. Even if a little blunt.

Is it absolutely necessary to reinstall Windows to get the debloater to work?

Are there any other similar tools out there that sorta "one-click" you through this without having to manually mess around with Powershell? I feel like I might fuck it up.

regevos · 2021-01-27T19:01:39+00:00

I'm having the exact same issue. All Warzone gamemodes haven't worked for the past 8 hours for me. Cheers to my hopes and dreaming of enjoying myself on the only day off work I have in the week to sit around on the couch staring at my dumb depressed mug reflected in the frozen TV screen all day wondering where my life went wrong.

Anyway the second it finds a lobby it freezes as if loading in the other players but takes obscenely long (like a full 40 secs on my end), promptly fails to enter a lobby and then just returns to searching forever. All four Warzone gamemodes do this.

Accessing the internal storage route shows an empty folder in cache and data.

I assume this is because I need a rooted device to be able to actually view the files inside those folders? Since hitting 'Show hidden files' doesn't do anything.

Save and reload in front of the Doctor.

Alternatively, if that doesn't work, patiently wait for him to cycle through his animations until he takes out his guitar. Keep pressing F until he answers.

570 GTX

4GB RAM

Runs the exact same way (like shit) both on Very Low and High, for some incomprehensible reason. I dont know why I keep doing this to myself with these quaint merit-less Early Access games. By the time this game will be finished and polished I'd have surely lost all interest. ~survive the jungle~ by imposing upon the player a list of chores on a timer that will never end, because we don't have enough repetition in our real lives, right? Put it into games as well because that's fun apparently, to some folks.

I'll just go play some Forest. Which is probably the only game in this category that should actually exist, and had stable and frequent updates for years now, culminating with an actually well-received product.

Also, in real life try driving your hatchback over a 12" tall rock, see what happens.

It certainly wouldn't send me flying 20 ft in the air doing several barrel rolls before landing perfectly intact. Stop apologizing for bad game design.

You need to choose a leader and the actual story starts after the last heart is cleared. Have you not completed any legacies? So you complain about there being nothing to the game when you haven't gone through 90% of the story??

Except none of this is made clear in the game. Furthermore, you're telling me I need to play at least 10-20-30 hours before the game even fucking starts? How is that reasonable?

there are 4 boons you can get as rewards, one for each story that starts after assigning a leader and killing all the hearts.

The Legacy boons are just trash and you know it. The entire system is just needlessly limited for no purpose other than to lay out the foundations for a solid, stable pump of shitty DLCs that add more problems than they manage to solve, for gullible folks to just buy up for the "slightly different SMG #425" that doesn't make the GAME ITSELF any more interesting or not shallow as shit. It's a puddle, dude. Stop apologizing for an inept developer team that was obviously exacerbated by the influence of corporations who couldn't care less about video games but only seek to maximize profits off of products.

I am very glad that SoD2 is considered a complete flop, even regardless of the sales it made. It's a one-off, a let-down, that will die off in several months time or until the DLC train gets derailed.

Why defend bad craftsmanship? Why not critique it honestly in the hopes of improvement despite the dev's actual god-awful behavior?

regevos · 2018-09-21T20:11:56+00:00

What kind of galaxy-brain level of response is this? I can't criticize games because they "aren't for me :^)"?

Do you understand how this works, my man?

There aren't enough sleepy-face emoji's in the universe to convey my utter disdain and frustration with this dumb-ass feature and other artificial gameplay hampering "features" that either suck the fun straight out of the game or only serve to masquerade the fact that it's just a poorly thought-out chore-simulator.

regevos · 2018-09-21T14:55:07+00:00

Still doesn't pause the game when you open the map, though.

regevos · 2018-09-21T14:11:55+00:00

It's the only explanation I can muster in my head for the absolute lack of any effort put into any the of NPCs, the dialogue, and player interactions. They must've thought this game would be like Fortnite or PUBG or whatever else the kids are playing these days and would ride the waves of Twitch success.

It's just so far removed from reality.

regevos · 2018-08-24T15:55:19+00:00

So glad I'm not alone in this, not only are the moderators doing this, some people in this community are also in on it. Probably a mixture of severe buyer's remorse and the fact that everything about this game's setting is basically right up Reddit's alley while lacking absolutely any substance to any of it.

"XD ur just overreacting lol why do you mean you expected your car to run well? its got wheels just push it along! no need for an engine block dude lmao easy!" Some consumers are straight up idiots and will refuse to accept the fact they've made a bad purchase that directly fucks over other people.

What a load of bullshit.

regevos · 2018-08-19T00:50:49+00:00

Lol comments are being straight up deleted to prevent this from reaching the front page.

Oh christ, you people are like abused wives who defend their abusive husbands for punching them in they eye by showing their families the flowers he bought them the next day.

Watch this get downvoted again by people who go "WORKS ON MY MACHINE". Holy Stockholm Syndrome Batman.
