I just don’t understand people who decide that the PVP game they’re gonna get ultra sweaty about is going to be the one with a 30 Hz tick rate, peer to peer networking, and the ability to equip mods that make your bullets’ hit boxes bigger. I’m glad Marathon exists for them now! And I will try it and probably give up on it after a week.

I don't think there's been a serious AAA attempt at an extraction shooter yet? Some successful ones in Hunt showdown and Tarkov, but everything else has been a bolt-on mode like Battlefield V and CODs modes hasn't it? If built from the ground up on dedi servers and fully integrated I think it'd be great.

Would R6 Extraction technically count?
Despite the fact that that loving thing crashed and burned despite being on gamepass lmao

R6 Extraction isn’t actually an “extraction shooter,” it’s a co-op PvE-only game. It’s only called that because they were making a zombie spinoff of Siege for ages and then realized it was probably a bad idea to launch a game originally named “Rainbow Six Infection” in the middle of a pandemic.

I have to assume the reason Destiny 2 is chosen as some peoples PvP game is because it's filled to the brim with dumb bullshit fun guns that you can then use to fight other players with.

The issue being that you only have a 0.0014% chance to get the exact dumb bullshit fun gun you want.

I think (ironically?) the people who enjoy pvp don't take it seriously. And those who take it seriously don't like it. Call of Duty doesn't have Antaeus Wards or Nova Bombs so it's poopy boring GunMans game

This explains why I consider all games ever made to be bad. And now to go have some introspection...

:stare:



e: Did the UI have meters like charge and pressure before? I don't recall ever seeing those and I get the feeling it's one of those things that you'd never know how much of a massive technical feat it is for such a simple thing so by God they're going to show it the gently caress off.

You can fire Coldheart for 13 seconds straight without letting off the trigger before you have to reload. It fuckin' rules, it's War Rig for Traces with the bonus of making Heavy ammo for allies if they get the kill on marked enemies. Works for Champs, Bosses, and Vehicles i think? Toss Heavy finder on it and it's Heavy for everyone!



Also it looks awesome with Gloamstrife.

I thiiiiiiink theoretically if you used Acasia's Dejection with Rewind Rounds and Target Lock it could be one of the better boss DPS options.

Crafted Path of Least Resistance too, although now my enhanced Voltshot on it looks way worse :cripes:

Also it's like wearing Aeon Soul at the same time, and you can also still equip finders

Apparently it gives a 15% dmg buff too, so maybe I'll gently caress with it tomorrow and see if it clicks at all.

Just how easy is it to mark targets with it? Can a warlock just spritz an entire wave of adds, or does it take sustained damage to do it?

Shooting any yellowbar/"boss" applies a Priority Target buff with a 10s cooldown, hitting the enemy again refreshes it

Sustained damage for like, a few seconds and you can only mark bosses, champs, and a few other things. The mark lasts for a while and shooting the marked target again refreshes it.

I used dim to make a stupid damage only loadout for the thing, I probably ought to have consulted the damage buff spreadsheet but I'll just screw with it tomorrow. If number big then ok, I can deal with that. Might change up my stasis build if it works ok.

Radiant Dance Machines buff is very fun. Game breaking? Nah. Meta? Nah. Not even close to release level of bonkers. But on activation you get six seconds to dodge. Any kill at all resets the timer to 10 seconds tho.

It's still super niche, it doesn't activate aspects like the slowdodge, but it can be some silly fun now.

Probably the most effective way I've found to use it is to use either Arc or Stasis. Gambler's dodge, of course. Heavy Handed for orbs, two Impact Induction mods for 25% grenade energy every seven seconds for melee damage, and Innervation for grenade energy on orbs.

Pretty much does what you figure. Dodge around like an idiot, getting those melee charges, either punch, frisbee, shoot, whatever and keep it going. Lots of orbs, lots of traces, gently caress LOADS of shards. All the while the constant orbs are recharging your grenades along with your melee.

Shards provide overshield and heal, with mods like Better Already or Recuperation helping too. Arc has a buttload of resist fragments for close range and being amped and stuff.

It is very silly, and lots of fun, definitely an improvement, but I doubt it'll be shifting any metas or preferences.

Ager's is by far my favorite weapon in the game, and the changes to mobh were great. The bs they did to shards still hurts so it's not nearly as effective as it was, but I'm still playing around with builds this week. If the buffs stack like I'm hoping then the thing I just threw together could be monstrous. I'd kill to get extra fragment slots, but just getting better artifice armor might solve half of that issue.

Whilst our PvE contingent is on such a downer about Marathon, the prospect of Bungie world, polish and gunfeel for a Tarkov game not anally attached to real world guns fills me personally with glee, and I am very hype for it.

I've never played tarkov so I don't have any frame of reference to it. Could be fun, I thought the trailer had a cool aesthetic. I'll probably try it.

It has been very fun though watching people react like vampires shown a cross, though. And watching The dtg subreddit have an absolute meltdown over it.

Half the "fun" of tarkov is not knowing if the enemy you've stumbled across is an NPC or an actual player. There's a not insignificant amount of PvE in tarkov OH MY GOD ITS WHERE ALL THE GAMBIT DEVELOPMENT HAS GONE.

2/3 of the “core playlists” have been on life support for years. There was a renewed focus on PvP at Bungie, just not Destiny PvP.
