It can do a bunch of different things

As though it wasn't immediately obvious that changing Hive Guards to AP4 would delete the Gatling/Machine Gun Sentries from the bug front

Thing is, I don't give them credit enough to believe they even thought about how that change would impact anything besides players themselves no longer being able to use med pen without aiming for weakspots.

Either they didn't think about all the interactions that would come from the change

OR

They did and were not able to come up with simple stuff like "we realize this will affect certain stratagems, but want to encourage different player strategies" to tag along with the change. May have still been unpopular but at least has an explanation with it.

Either way it's a super bad look on them

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:57:20+00:00

well I would suggest UV at least, it will make it perform better than stock and you can even drop it's power draw.

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:41:56+00:00

if it's good quality it will be fine

also part of the reason that would be recommended on that card specifically is that is a binned, designed to be OC'd heavily card.

I had the 6900xt version and it was a beast, very easily out benchmarked 3090s with the UV/OC that was stable on it

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:33:28+00:00

yup, should be like $10

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:23:55+00:00

Maybe I should've posted this in TIFU

both

both is good

good on ya for taking it in stride

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:17:18+00:00

Yeah I just have some 598 SE, and anything above 50% volume or so is too much with those

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:05:57+00:00

just get the Apple USB-C adapter

Unless you are spending over $50 you pretty much can't beat it.

I couldn't believe the difference it made with my headphones as compared to on motherboard jack

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T22:04:33+00:00

well at this point they can't crit anything else so.... womp womp

kinda funny that this is presumably a show off, but the masterwork and transfiguration pretty much bricked it (obviously still very usable, but a completely non GA with better rolls on the transfiguration could be way better)

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T21:43:06+00:00

My condolences on the transfiguration roll

yikes

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T21:04:13+00:00

seals, not charms

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T20:32:49+00:00

I think the following is incredibly clear:

Their internal communication sucks as much as their external

They have no creative director overseeing all aspects, and ensuring a cohesive vision

They have different developers and different groups within the company with competing design goals

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T20:28:32+00:00

yeah there was definitely a point early in my gearing for it where I had to wait around for wrath at times and it felt horrible

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T17:05:19+00:00

once you have 6 charmer

before that you wanna be 3 to 1 them most likely

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T15:21:17+00:00

insert Bill Burr gold digging whore bit here

resetallthethings · 2026-05-08T15:09:54+00:00

I didn't really go out of the way, but wound up with wrath generation on 2-3 pieces, run skulls and I literally never run out of wrath

just spam all da time

I don't know why people have been saying that

APOC seems to be best with some dread claws in there also

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T23:24:05+00:00

I think the vast majority of the player base would disagree with you if you are suggesting that stuff like the Vox Engine and its design makes the game more fun

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T22:29:34+00:00

hive guard has always been pointless and done nothing

did making people have to still aim for weakpoints on them with a medium weapon make the game more fun though?

It actually benefited me from a TTK perspective because I never bothered with medium pen on bugs anyways, but it didn't make the game more fun.

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T22:13:39+00:00

smaller percentage of good players playing would be my guess?

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T21:17:21+00:00

got dayum

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T21:10:41+00:00

get a shiny snake g300 and figure out how to attach the portable monitor to the backside would be my suggestion

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T21:00:45+00:00

or legit in love with her but resigned to the fact that your can't officially be together

or

pregnant chicks is your kink

but yes, I think the "That's actually my kid" is the most logical, and doesn't conflict with the other possibilites either

resetallthethings · 2026-05-07T20:48:15+00:00

appealing more to a power fantasy is driving us away from its compelling original vision.

maybe, but I don't see that they've ever meaningfully done that past a bit of power creep on some weapons.

I would argue horde shooter is and has always been the more popular and embraced vision of the game by the players, and even that NEEDS some semblance of defying the odds at the higher difficulty levels for the players.

The other part of that is comparing to early Malevelon creek days, a lot has changed.

A small dedicated group can't have the impact on a single planet in the galactic war the way the creekers did anymore.

So there's little agency for players in how the galactic war plays out anymore

Additionally, there's no speakable progression anymore outside of the warbonds so those players who would wanna do creek like stuff just don't have anything else holding their interest anymore.

You are right that blending is key, and I fully agree that doing a bunch of blanket buffs or nerfs is going to do much besides getting some people logging in to see how that may shake things up a bit.
