I played some hours of Anthem, now that it's on Gamepass, and I could only think how crazy it is that that small indie games like Gunfire were better, despite the big number of years and millions of dollars.

Gunfire on suicide watch? Okay, probably not, as Gunfire still has cats and puppies. But in totally unrelated news to Gunfire,  RoboQuest just got a massive update today, I haven't messed with it yet and way too tired right now to even pares those words, but I know there was some talk about this game a few pages back here with some issues a few (and me) had with it, so maybe it's better now? Worth re-checking out for us Gunfire players who like these kind of games anyway, you know like, when switching that chicken up sometimes to tuna, to keep things interesting, right?Aaaand the UPDATE notes. (I ain't going to copy/paste that giant wall of text here, don't you worry.)

Some of them are pretty good.  quote:The next major update, which includes a new hero, a new boss, new weapons and more, will be released this summer. Please stay tuned.

Currently the talents range from boring "more stats" to gameplay changes that make you think "why didn't the hero have this before?". I'd be interested to see if they have some parallel talent trees where you can only take 1 talent per tier that lets you specialize more in a particular playstyle direction for each character.

IMO right now the metaprogression with the talents is too strong, and you can notice it because once you have enough of them, the early game is way too easy, trivial even. But you can't ignore them or the late game will kick your rear end; so right now there isn't a way to enjoy the 100% of a run. Both the difficulty progression between levels and the metaprogression should be reduced somehow. The new character seems to have an enchanted/living flying sword, so it could work a bit like a pet, accompanying you and automatically attacking enemies around you. Same concept as Dead Cell's Serenade.

I've been playing this for a bit in some 4man runs and I like it so far. I was looking forward to playing the bird because I like high-mobility aggressive characters, but I feel like I've only found one way of playing him, which is stacking a bunch of cleave/leap talents until I hopefully luck into finding some unrelated high-damage gimmick that doesn't interact with his class abilities/talents at all. Maybe I just haven't found a good cleave build yet, but it doesn't really feel like you can exactly start cleaving the sandworm or ghost ship either It also doesn't help that half the time someone gets a build that clears trash more safely and effectively than the bird guy

The bird is my least favorite for multiplayer indeed, you either get a cleave damage build off the ground and suck all the air out of the room for the others, or fail to get last hits/talents and just kind of waffle around at the mercy of weapon and talent rng. If you can get enough of the shotgun talents that can also be pretty effective.

I feel like it'd free up a lot of versatility for him if he didn't need to stack Easy Kill from the start. Right now he seems to turn into a melee monster every time in solo, but he can't do that in multiplayer so he fails to find a real place on the team. Maybe if they removed Easy Kill entirely and increased the scaling on his Cleave talents altogether? Easy Kill could also be baseline and give +1.5 damage per enemy cleaved so it'd be more consistent in its scaling. Minorkos fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Jun 1, 2021 |

The problem with Cleave builds is it's talent dependent with how absolutely necessary it is to get certain talents to level 3 depending on the number of people you play with. Easy Kill is very nice and helps to get early but the real important ones are the +Cleave %Dmg, Max Cleave, and Defensive Cleave preferably all at level 3. A couple levels of Absolute Advantage help immensely too for CC and hitting bosses from a safer distance too. Actually getting those to show up is entirely RNG dependent and even if you get a floor 1 Easy Kill pick if you don't get any of the +Cleave %Dmg you won't scale hard enough. Still my favorite character and build, hyper aggression is the best fighting style.

I've honestly never liked his cleave build, I always feel like unless the stars align I just don't do enough damage with Cleave. My favorite way to play him is as an immortal shotgun god; you pick up Leap and Cleave talents that increase your defense/heal you/increase gun damage, and then the offensive shotgun talents. Then you can just leap into battle, near immortal, and kill everything with shotguns. IMO it works pretty well in multiplayer too.

In single player you can go full leap and become basically immortal with resets on kills but in MP you leap in, deal tickle damage, and die. It feels like stacking the crap out of gun damage is really where it's at and the bird suffers a little for it.

That may be the case in 4 player, but I exclusively play 2 player and am used to bird leap build making me completely irrelevant even with an optimal-build dog and scoring 6-7x the damage easy. So maybe not at lower MP scaling.

Back when I played multiplayer I was doing it 4-man and it worked out pretty well for me. It wasn't like I could blatantly walk into every attack and come out unscathed, but I was definitely durable enough to survive in melee combat for a while.

The few times I've done 4 player co-op honestly the most valuable contribution I did as Bird was just take the heat off my three other buddies by just being stuck in and never dying. You can absolutely get a cleave build going and getting tanky via scrolls is super simple when you have 4 people to share scrolls around but it feels way worse for bosses. I enjoyed shotgun Bird the few times I did it but it really does feel like you need one of a handful of shotguns that have actually good inscriptions. Cleave build is simpler if more binary since all you need is the right talents. Bird is def the only Hero that can currently be entirely gun agnostic though, the others really rely on guns eventually. edit: and nothing beats the high of literally slapping bosses to death with your wings.

IMO it helps that Shotgun Bird doesn't really need a shotgun. For the most part his gun damage ascensions just require a weapon with huge damage per shot, so he can work pretty well with Snipers, Launchers, and even Pistols to an extent. Only one ascension, Victory Rush, explicitly requires a shotgun, and even then you can get around that with certain inscriptions.

I did finally get a good shotgun build on the bird, with enough Leap ascensions to constantly spam it for extra armor and damage res as I dove around firing my Wild Hunt a zillion times a second. Also unlocked the lightning tiger fella, who seems very strong with some very verbose ascensions

So does the enemy count not scale by players correctly or something? Been playing duos the whole time so far, another friend got the game to play with us, but there were still so few enemies the dude barely got to shoot anything before it was dead. I'm used to that experience in duos but figured it would at least somewhat scale up - didn't seem to be any extra enemies at all, though, nor extra health on the enemies that were there.

there should be some health inflation, but if you're playing on Normal and you're pretty far into the Talent tree it's not really going to be noticeable. Once you hit Elite or Nightmare the health inflation starts becoming a lot more noticeable, especially when you get more enemy modifiers that boost health/armor/shields. Also your friend is just starting out and not having access to talents just makes it more noticeable how much faster you kill things. This even comes down to a knowledge thing of knowing what weapon inscriptions are best etc, it really makes a difference.

Summer Update is live! - The First Female Hero [Tao] Meets You in the Summer Version Rejoice people with rabbit fetishes! --- EDIT: So much, make it stop, need coffee... This is a really big update, lots of juicy things in it, obviously the new hero Tao, but also comes with that highly anticipated revamped talents (gotta click on all those buttons again, ugh), has a new "reincarnation" difficulty now with up to x7 levels (need to beat nightmare to unlock, so it must be pretty tough at level 7), and this difficulty come with two new NPCs to spend your souls on, buy enhanced weapons, occult scroll & "spiritual blessing".  . Oh my!

Hm... I'm not sure how I feel about the talent revamp. They combined some redundant talents, added some brand new ones that look interesting, and got rid of talents that eventually became pointless. The pointless ones, unfortunately, were the ones that boosted how many souls you got each run and now you need even more than amount of souls you needed to finish up the talent tree + all hero talents. I can't imagine the grind now. That said, the new weapons look real fun and some of the new talents seem genuinely interesting! Also the new hero looks actually pretty fun... just uh, make sure to save 400 souls to unlock her.

Lots of good stuff in this update. I wasn't too invested in the talent tree update except for one talent: the copper on crit hit talent. And thankfully, they revamped it in an excellent way! It looks like you get a fixed amount of copper the first time you crit an enemy, meaning fast weapons no longer have an innate economy advantage! There is some other cool stuff in there too though, like the ability to trash scrolls/weapons you don't like for copper, an increase to the base damage of damaging scrolls, and a couple of talents that grant unique buffs depending on weapon type (reload speed for launchers, critx for snipers, movespeed for melee, and so on). Though I really think the coolest new one is the ability to add new inscriptions to existing weapons. That goes a long way towards the problem of finding an excellent weapon in zone 1 and dropping it because 2 inscriptions just doesn't compete with 4 + Gemini. As for Tao, she seems pretty cool. Her primary's super weird; it builds up charges when not on cooldown based on ammo consumed, and unleashes all those charges in a flurry when cast. It's also got an extremely quick cooldown of 3.9 seconds, so it's extremely spammable! Her secondary deals AoE damage and marks all enemies in the area; for every 12 times you hit a marked enemy, it redeals the damage. She's definitely focused around fast firing weapons, which makes sense, given that we already have characters focused around Snipers/Shotguns/Explosives. She's also kind of strange in that she's easily the character most focused around her skills. As you might expect, she's got an ascension tree based around her grenade and one around her primary. Her third tree is based around enhancing her gunplay, but they all revolve around her other skills. It's all "for each flying sword summoned" or "for each stack of blade heart" or "when you kill a marked enemy", with exactly one talent that doesn't have anything to do with her skills. I haven't played with her much, but she's definitely very interesting. Oh also, maybe this is just me, but I'm not a fan of how she looks. Every other character has a face that's very heavily based off their animal, you know? They've got muzzles and snouts and beaks and whatnot. Tao just kinda has a regular human face and it's very off-putting.

I literally did one run before going to bed and realized this. No longer losing souls when you start a new run is huge!! One of my major issues with the game, gone up in smoke. Also people are gonna waifu her, but I actually kinda agree with Arzaac, she'd look way better (and in theme) if her face was a bit more... fluffy maybe? Her nose def looks like a rabbit's but that's about it. Slightly uncanny valley feel overall. edit: I warned you bro, I told you about those souls bro!!!

The changelog doesn't mention it, but... is the difficulty of the game the same? Or is it adjusted? Because I didn't know there were people having an easy time in Nightmare difficulty (*cough* I still haven't beaten Elite) as to need a new difficulty, and even more, with 7 tiers!, which I guess are Ascensions like in Spire, increasing in difficulty more and more. I was wondering that it would make more sense if they have decreased the difficulty gap between Normal and Elite and Elite and Nightmare.

Yes, now they have removed Dimension Pouch and gave its effect for free  That's nice, but the Pouch wasn't that expensive, you only needed to buy the first tier, so that removal isn't enough to compensate they have removed the one that gave you extra essence for bosses  Now add that there are more talents to unlock (around 11 more), add that the last tier seems more expensive, and add that the new character costs 400 essence. I really dislike the last part, with the other characters you could increase your power by getting talents and as a extra you unlocked new heroes when reaching x level. With the rabbit, you have to stop investing in talents and instead spend that currency you gain on just unlocking her.

I've been playing a few public coop runs, it seems with the update there are more people online. The game is, surprise, easier in coop. In fact I just have beaten the game easily in Elite, and before I hadn't even reached the Fjord stage. In coop there are more enemies and they are more tanky (they also do more damage? not sure of this part), but with several players you can be revived, you have an easier time against enemies with shields, and obviously you can use elemental combos constantly. This three features compensate easily the higher enemy difficulty. And as a bonus, you gain a bit more essence because there are a few more enemies.
