I tried them and can't tell if one big swingy attack counts for one 1% chance or multiple 1% chances.

you have to unlock the augment at the forge first

that 1-3% will become some discrete number

No I got that part. I mean once it crystallizes (in this example, I assumed I would get a 1% chance) will one of the elf's big swirly blender charge attacks count as a single proc chance, or multiple hits? Like, she definitely hits a guy at least twice, because there are two swords involved.

^ I'm wondering this too since I have some % chance things and they will be very good if one swing can roll the % chance for every rat it hits but not so good if it can only trigger once per swing.

Ignore everything posted on the last page. It's a super fun game where you can chill out and shoot some chill rats with your buddies.

I've had a lot of fun public games so far too, maybe it gets worse on nightmare difficulty and up but on normal and hard difficulty there's some fine games to be had even if your friends aren't online.

The people making fun of you and your stupid opinions on 'the one true difficulty' and how you cheat so you can play on it are not the people complaining about loot.

I haven't done the research, so I'llc have to disagree with you.

P sure the goons are upset because of my Straight D communication style. I would wager that many of them are S/I or S/C styled, which makes sense.

I like hitting the rats with a hammer, but I also like hitting them with a shield. I can't do both at the same time, which is a major design flaw imo.

Snatch Duster posted:

Not really an argument imo. I am just stating an opinion. I've done that to help out babby goons learning the game and just to gently caress around.

Just a bunch of goons being jealous or mad that there are people who enjoy the game in a different way than them.

These goons are the kids making sand castles next to the Ocean, and the waves sometimes gently caress their castles up. I'm the dumb human being kid that suggest we move further ahead so we can actually make a castle without it getting ruin, but instead they refuse and throw sand cover dog poo poo instead. Goons love poo poo.

Wait, you admit to not doing the research, so then disagree anyways because your ignorance is probably right? I take it your "Straight D" talk means you are a caricature of Stephen Colbert, but without the charming or funny parts.

You can do it if you get a hammer and shield for bardin. It's more like hitting the rats with a hammer and then hitting them with a shield. But it's close.

Goon community is settling down from initial release surge. Depending how much you want to play, should be able to find a group with goons, though pubs aren't terrible (if you expectations are properly low enough).

Please bitches. If nothing else I am a gentleman
It's a good game to play with mates though I reckon. The melee combat is really solid. Getting loot is fun but really the enjoyment in this game is hitting a rat in the head with a hammer and watching his body ragdoll into a wall. Or holding a chokepoint with a sword and shield until the rat swarm thins out enough that you can break through, laying waste to the rats around you.

The devs didn't design any game mode to be the ONE TRUE GAMEMODE! In fact the only real reason there are difficulties is so your loot treadmill can go on. Why do you need to play Cataclysm? Why? What could possibly make cataclysm the pinnacle of your gaming experience? Because its the hardest game mode? It doesn't make sense. If you are arguing cataclysm is too hard to be played without dope loot than just play the equivalent difficulty for the loot you have and the relative difficulty should be the same.

Ok honestly, play as if items don't exist. If you don't like playing the game and don't like killing rats, don't do it for loving loot. If you do like killing rats, play the game and enjoy the "progression" as a side effect.

Or wait until first week of December and try then

it's 20% to get any given weapon you put into it, so 5 of one thing = 100% of that thing, 4 of one thing and 1 of another = 80%/20%, etc

drat, shame I'm wrapping up for the night, I'm all over hard games that aren't horn.

Although I did just get in a real nice hard library run on horn where it was as clean as that map gets. Used the kit on the one guy in the red right before we ran. Going all in and winning on that was great after a night of things going wrong in just the wrong way.
