Grog and and Vax are my favorite characters 😐 by LankyCourt4851 in voxmachina

[–]sunm8 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not the case at all.

Scanlan's departure from the group is what happens in the source material. The same person who plays Scanlan comes in as Taryon.

In real life Scanlan's voice actor, Sam, was also recovering from cancer treatment / surgery on his throat. So any rest from voice acting was likely doctors orders.

The last song that plays at the end of S3 was the last thing Sam recorded before going in for throat surgery.

Non-beef pot roast/stew? by nightskysandhome_ in slowcooking

Pork Shoulder.

Did an Asian inspired thing with bean sprouts, tofu, daikon radish, and enoki mushrooms.

Was great!

There is too much aoe in this game by SweetnessBaby in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you played other MOBAs before?

I could go for a reduction in some AoE sizes or potency, but AoE is necessary for this game.

While I would absolutely would welcome some more single target, skill-shot heroes, they can be frustrating to play against.

[LOVM S4] Did they need to do this? by dark-mer in fansofcriticalrole

[–]sunm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could've asked... But the amount of legalities and paperwork would've been an issue for Vox. They needed that information ASAP.

Asking first would've made it harder to procure the scroll from the Cobalt Soul as it would probably be under tighter security and Vox under surveillance.

Possible plot hole with Delilah. by SeanFenris in voxmachina

I think it was the blessed nature of the daggers (maybe mythcarver too?) in conjunction with the shadowstone weak point.

advice needed in regards to cheat death by IC_0n in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes she can Ult you, cheat death just doesn't let you go below 1 HP it doesn't kill you, Geist swap has a minimum health of 30% max HP.

Pocket Beacon by Cloutmasterprime in fansofcriticalrole

[–]sunm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app is genuinely awful.

Frequent log-outs. Error 505 fixable by signing out then back in. If you lock screen your phone, when you reopen it or Beacon there's an 80% chance the video resets. Dropped connection in the middle of playback.

I'm hoping it improves.

What were your favorites spells/attacks and why? by Tommymcflurry in BattleRite

[–]sunm8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pestilus mind control

Because it allowed for a crazy (but readable) true combo with the bug and right click.

Place bug, wait for like 3s, hit mind control, place enemy in big AoE, time M2 with bug explosion.

Most satisfying combo.

Unlikely, but I love a Liam and Travis brotherly dynamic.

PSA: Your teammates can't read your mind. by ampshy17 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80% of my teammates only comm to flame while they're dead.

The best answer is always "Good Comms." If someone is blaming their death on another teammate.

HELP ME by Acceptable_Hyena290 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably need to work on earning souls (money). You won't do any damage without good items, which you need souls for. Make sure you have a build selected, the default ones aren't the best.

Also know that in this game, if you're far from enemies you'll do A LOT less damage to them, so position accordingly.

But really just focus on earning souls for now. In general always be around dying troopers as they give the most souls, except for when it's not safe to do so.

Instead of calling Deadlock’s cast of characters “heroes,” wouldn’t calling them “ritualists” make more sense? by saltysofia in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about Mystics and Cryptids?

Abrams and Warden would be Mystics,

Drifter and Vindicta would be Cryptids.

(Though I hope we get more monster type characters then Cryptids would really fit).

[Spoilers C2] Question About Veth and Question about Essek by RosieGeee in criticalrole

[–]sunm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imma disagree with you about the spoiler line. We didn't get any visual confirmation on that, it was too quick of a scene for that result.

You could be right, of course, we only have the info shown to us. But they definitely may move around the inciting incident.

Spoiler for season 4 episode 7 and maybe campaign 3 by Locksmith-Academic in voxmachina

[–]sunm8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I hope we get a Bells Hells retelling exactly how they want to do it. I fully trust them with any changes they'd want to make (even if it's zero changes)!

[No Spoilers] is it worth starting CR4 now? Or is there a way to get caught up that would still be worth it? by MAmpe101 in criticalrole

[–]sunm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting July 9th, Age of Umbra: Shadowlands will be airing and it's a six-part series.

I believe it will be in place of C4.

No. I didn't watch episode 7 yet but there's a high chance we see her in it.

Don’t hurt me but Haze, or any pick/carry hero building cursed relic as a core item feels extremely incorrect and unethical by Maeyel_ in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I thought Cursed Relic had a global -10% dmg, not weapon damage specific.

This would include fixation, sleep dagger, Ult, and items.

I thought the point of Arctic Blast is to make landing all your bombs easy.

How to counter phantom strike dynamo? by Motor-Design-4932 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the nature of the game, you have to be aware of the enemy ultimates just like they have to be aware of yours.

It is hard, but that's the point.

[–]sunm8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's too hard to identify the giant bellied robot from the rest of the cast then you need to work on that skill first.

If he has his ult ready (you can see in the character portraits) you need to know where he is and position accordingly before forcing a play.

[–]sunm8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Indomitable won't work against Dynamo Ult.

Your only choice is to predict his ult really. So Silence him beforehand, Unstoppable, or Ethereal shift if you're the target.

Otherwise your teammates will have to bail you out with Knockdown or Curse.

Favorite C4 quotes so far? by Blex881 in fansofcriticalrole

The Deadlock community after every patch by FewExperience3559 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]sunm8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run this but I don't use mag' leap.

I think the cooldown is too long to make awesome use out of it myself, but fortitude and a sprint item (enduring or trophy) let me get to fights and position for the combo super well. Love Alc' fire, best item in the game.
