Sea Lily posted:people started some really malicious rumors about SCORE back when they were angry about the code not being public but this stuff was blatantly untrue I'd never know for sure, but it was a pretty persistent accusation.  Among all the other gatekeeping egotrip and gaslighting campaign that was going on for a full 5 years, the more damning part is that it seems perfectly plausible.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9wdtfml4xt1ephc/Goonbox-modified.rar?dl=0&file_subpath=%2Fdata This is the version someone provided last year. Anything in the sounds that's marked "old", just delete the non-old version and then edit the file name to get rid of _Old to restore Shovar's kid's and honeycombs and a couple other things. Saturn So basically, goonbox started as a sound replacement for the /boombox command to put actual songs in there, like bananaphone, ra ra rasputine, intergalactic, bunch of other cool/silly/weird songs. Then we went ham, replacing texture files so that billboards displayed some photoshop friday memes, and just spicing up background images as well as other sounds. The most infamous, is RamenPride's kids yelling at you in any mission that has a glowie in it. Instead of a quiet hum that you can hardly hear right next to the objective, you hear the space robots from like a room away and it's directional, so it really does guide you in. To install it, just unzip it into your coh/data folder

Abroham Lincoln posted:Homecoming I think has been exceptionally nice for the most part. I've never had the urge to report anyone or anything quite like that in the whole time I've been playing on it. Thunderspy/CoXG or whatever it calls itself believes in "free speech" and will have people posting slurs because it's a server full of edgy 4chan bigots. So I can't say I'd recommend that. Thunderspy's Discord refers to Homecoming as "homocumming" and there were other homophobic slurs all over. They're either 4chan or someone equally horrible.

Can't we just get a new 'Modern' Goonbox where all the billboards are replaced with pictures of ponies and rainbows. Also all the songs must be Justin Bieber and Billie Eyelash songs.

Comfortador posted:I read that Energy melee is busted / not good. My favorite character to gently caress around on was my Energy/Ninjitsu stalker. Is this no longer good? Depends on when you last played them and what your expectations are. Energy Melee got nerfed a few years after CoV's launch, but even then it only nerfed the heavy single target potential (since it wasn't great with AOE to begin with.) These days, power creep means it's readily outclassed in pretty much every department by something else. So, there's fair warning that it's probably one of the worst sets, doubly so on a Stalker since it loses its only AOE attack in favor of yet more single target. But even the worst sets I think are still plenty playable for the majority of the game's content. I mained a MA/SR Scrapper for years and that's not particularly great either, but it was still fun. For some improvements, if you're dead set on Energy, I'd maybe recommend /Shield on a Stalker instead to give yourself an AOE attack. You could pick up Spring Attack from Leaping, Cross Punch from Fighting, and one of the ancillary pools' AOE attacks and have a bit more help with AOE. /Ninjitsu is pretty good for a Stalker, so if you were more set on that, I'd recommend Electric Melee, or maybe Staff, Street Justice, Radiation, or Savage as strong primaries.

I used him for PVP a bunch too. I could assassin strike to take one out, total focus another, then placate and assassin strike another. I love Ninjitsu as a secondary. Maybe I'll try Electric because I like the "power" as opposed to weapon concept of my stalker, but I'll take a look at the others, thanks

energy assault on doms is really good since they introduced the rework to it in august last year. most of the dom assault sets are way better than they used to be period, though. just don't use bone crusher with energy focus up because it doesn't do extra damage, it does a Weaken effect. also stalkers got a really nice rework before the game shut down and with the introduction of ATOs you basically don't need a dead power (placate) taking up space any more. stalkers are in the best shape they've ever been in. i think the on going proc research has brought up the value of energy melee, but that's more of its ability to slot procs than the actual powers having a good baseline.

What do you mean dead power? I loved using placate, it gives me an extra Assassin strike unless later on something changed that made that not as good.

When you're out of hide Assassin's Strike is a quickfire attack, and if you land three attacks beforehand it's guaranteed to crit. Not TURBO DEATH KILL crit, just regular kind.

Comfortador posted:What do you mean dead power? I loved using placate, it gives me an extra Assassin strike unless later on something changed that made that not as good. using slightly more words: for one thing, there's a new endgame enhancement set that Stalkers get that gives you a free placate in certain circumstances, which are pretty easy to replicate in an endgame money-no-object kind of enhancement build. personally I'm nowhere near doing this but it's a possibility on the other hand, the Stalker class power now includes a stacking buff, which procs off every attack that hits, and gives 1/3 chance for your next assassin attack to be a crit. since your assassin attack can be used with no windup when you're not stealthed, fights become a sort of minigame of "get three hits on something, turn around and assassinate a minion, keep fighting until assassin buffs start building up again" it's loads of fun. scrappers still do more raw damage but stalkers are enormously brutal against high HP single targets vvv EDIT: oh yeah stalkers can also get regular old crits 10% of the time, +3% for each person on the team. the assassin's strike buff actually boosts your crit chance by 33.3% per stack LordSaturn fucked around with this message at 07:38 on Feb 19, 2020 |

Also on top of all that, Stalkers get bonus crit chance that scales with the number of people on the team.

LordSaturn posted:it's loads of fun. scrappers still do more raw damage but stalkers are enormously brutal against high HP single targets in a non-titan weapons comparison (as that set is a massive outlier), they're so close to each other it doesn't matter numerically, play what you like. the important difference is that stalker versions sets can give significant gameplay differences and improvements (or losses) in different parts of the traditional kit depending on where AS is placed. savage melee is considered 'ok' on everyone else but is ridiculously good on stalker. also idk about that 'money is no object' thing, you can buy the ATO for like 20-25 mil and slot it in and stop using placate, that's it. obviously it gets better with global recharge since you don't want to slot much recharge into AS (around 40-45% max?) if you can help it. but you don't need multi-billion inf builds to take advantage of it, you just need a single IO.
