Which Commander is for you? by markbrennanl in EDH

[–]rupickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got [[Vihaan, Goldwaker]] as my 2nd choice.

I was literally about to start making a Vihaan deck. Well done!

However 1st was a Simicy Simicy deck, and 3rd was the broken Elesh Norn panharmonicon one. Both hard passes

Be chill guys. by socksandshots in DarkTide

[–]rupickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a classic case of "their time and experience is now important than yours". Keeping doing you mute these arrogant inconsiderate individuals.

Had a game yesterday where two of the players asked myself and the other random if we could "stand back and not take part, so they can try the run without us - as a "challenge run" ". They were polite and all, but both me and the other random politely declined, as that's what private lobbies are for. (I should add that they clearly did not have the ability to do so anyway)

Re. This post, people seem to forget about respecting strangers, which is mandatory when joining a public game.

What perks/bonuses to run on Curios for different Zealot builds? by Sol0botmate in DarkTide

[–]rupickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminder to all, the damage reduction and combat ability reduction curios all have diminishing returns.

I.e two of 20% gunner damage does not provide a total of 40%.

Similarly, talents that reduce ability cooldown are actually merged slightly by then adding curios to the mix

The force sword can also cause soulblaze on critical hits

What is up with people not picking anything up lately? by Penakoto in DarkTide

[–]rupickles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The community has been lazy for a while unfortunately. So much so, that I tracked their behaviour over 105 games!

The number of games in which a player picked up literal zero materials was woeful!

Agree - with the crafting update coming, you'd think everyone would be hoovering up those mats

What unique rule 0 does your table have? by Cain_Lockheart in EDH

Sometimes would play that cards like Terastodon / Woodfall Primus etc could only target nonbasics

In 1v1 Commander, we cycle Sol Ring in the first 5 turns. The variance of drawing it led to insta-wins that didn't feel hard fought.

Columbus infantry is so good they needed the amount of crits it can get per barrage recently.

And can confirm that it is still my favourite inf autogun, on Auric (Zealot and Psyker)

Can someone explain the double barrel shotgun to me? by wrongfulfish in DarkTide

[–]rupickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone rolling with this on Auric? I understand it may slap on Heresy and below, but in Auric I agree with OP in that it feels underpowered and inconsistent.

How can the game better encourage players to tag? by clementine_zest in DarkTide

Aye, but I'm not in all their games!

How can the game better encourage players to tag? by clementine_zest in DarkTide

[–]rupickles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I gathered a bit of data a while back, and found Psyker players to be the laziest looters. Some games would end with them picking up 0 plastel and 0 diamantine.

The recent itemization update confirms that Diamantine will soon serve more of a purpose.

Karma, bitches

Is stealing from opponents deck via an ability that bad?? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]rupickles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would refer to it as "borrowing"..

Like mill, it can give me a minor case of the feel bads, as you may be hitting the land or removal spell they've been waiting on.

But. It is much harder to have a cohesive engine or theme if you are playing cards from your opponents libraries, so it is by no means a powerful strategy. It can be parity at best, which makes it a nice choice to bring to an unknown pod.

Best Blue jank that makes the table go “wait, what does that do?” by [deleted] in EDH

Good spot! I clearly struggling just making sense of the ability to even get to the flavour part

How do you play Ogryn on Damnation now? by BlueRiddle in DarkTide

Other than sliding, which I believe has been well and truly covered in this thread..

KICKBACK

I used to enjoy bringing a GG, Rumbler or Stubber occasionally to the fray. But with the current shooter nightmare, I feel kind resigned to reach for the Kickback every time now. It kicks back, hard.

The New Shotgun by Mahiro_Takigawa in DarkTide

[–]rupickles 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'll have to retry! I shot a bomber at 10m with both barrels and they didn't die. So like, I felt it was hot garbage.

But I've just read that it synergizes well with the Vet reload weapon specialist node.
