I set the downscaling to Quality or Ultra Quality and thought it looks fine on 4k/1440p. Definitely a bit crunchy but wasn't sickeningly bad and I think the game looks better in motion than looking at jaggies in the menu. Definitely would love some DLSS support though.

I want some firebat armor that makes me immune to fire. Snapped up my "kill 100 enemies with burning damage in one mission" achievement last night because flamethrowers are exceptionally fun. Takes a while to BBQ a charger, but it does eventually finish cooking. My only real wishlist item would be some effect of the burning to slow or stun enemies. hiddenriverninja posted:I know, getting swarmed means you messed up and the real solution is to call an orbital on top of yourself, but I hope we get better melee options in the future, maybe a variant of the automaton energy blade? That doesn't sound very equal of you. And we all know guns are the great equalizer and thus compatible with managed democracy.

When discussing balance I think it's important to nerf outliers as well as boost things or the game will inflate to being too easy, 9 is perfect challenge now without the breaker or railgun against bugs (not rly using those items against bots anyway) but a little bit easy with pc railgun users, the breaker accentuates this disparity by being able to clear so well the railguns downside is non existant

I tried the liberator penetrator (need a shorter name for that) against bugs and ran out of ammo basically instantly. That thing does not do enough damage even with the armor pen.

Can buff things and nerf things at the same time (this is the neccesary path) if you just buff everything all the time it is gonna gently caress up the game

FunkyFjord posted:I've been using the trailblazer scout armor from standard warbond page 7 and loving it. I'll probably have to rely on the shield pack even harder when armor does get fixed but it's speed and stamina and stealthiness are just lovely. Tried doing a bug mission with the orange engineer medium armor that gives extra grenades, because bug holes, without the shield pack and I felt way too slow. Extra grenades are nice though, I need a light armor with extra grenades. What I've heard with regards to "how is armor broken" is that right now, enemies have 100% armor penetration against Helldiver armor, meaning we all functionally have 0 Armor Rating. So fixing how Armor Rating works will likely result in a net survivability increase for everyone across the board, including Light Armor lovers (until they retune enemy damage to compensate for this gain). Edit: Yeah, it would also be nice if Armor Rating affected flinch. I do so love accidentally fragging myself with my autocannon when a bot bullet soars nearby just to leave a note on my desk that says "tee-hee".

I don't have that perspective, which explains our difference of opinion.

Overall there are more things that need a buff than things that need a nerf, but both approaches are needed. Doing both means the scale of the changes is smaller (in comparison if you only nerf or only buff stuff).

Quixzlizx posted:People are annoyed about people demanding nerfs, not people demanding buffs. It's all relative. If the devs think buffing all the weapons to match the most powerful weapon will make the game unfun, then so be it. But who cares if they bring the Breaker down 10% at the same time as bringing the Flamethrower up 300%? People use a weapon, find it amazing, then come to the thread and say "Breaker is so OP" as a way of expressing how good it is. There's going to be balancing, I'm sure it will involve at least some small nerfs, who cares? It's like the "cheat detection in a PvE" conversation. Yeah, people using cheats have a negative impact on people's enjoyment of the game. Running around with a Flamethrower that's basically Power Wash Simulator while the dude next to you destroys every bug in a few seconds flat with the Breaker is not fun. If you're the kind of person who wants to use the Flamethrower, that sucks. No dev is going out of their way to make super underpowered and super overpowered poo poo. Of course they're going to try to fix it.

There are loads of difficulties to match everyone's skill or how hard they want to sweat or whatever.

There are people who can't beat Helldive (or even unlock it) even with the current balancing, and probably many of them who don't even care if they ever reach it, so nerfs will only make things more frustrating for them at their current level. And it matters where people stall out, because you can't even acquire super samples until 7. Quixzlizx fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Mar 1, 2024 |

I don't know if you've noticed, but dying, the threat of dying, and the chance you might lose are what makes the game fun. There has to be the tension there, otherwise it will get stale very fast. Maybe the devs will decide that buffing everything is the way to go. I dunno, I'm not the one running the numbers. But "all nerfs are bad" is just a really silly stance.

If the game isn't currently trivialized, why would buffing other weapons trivialize it, unless they are buffed beyond what the current meta equipment is? I guess I'm saying I don't care about the 1% of players who think the game is trivially easy right now.

Had this happen to me last night where it took like 8 railgun shots to the mouth to kill it when every other titan on that mission went down in 1-2. Thought it was bugged to be invincible cause other divers were throwing all their strats at it and it still kept trucking until i finally managed to get my last shot off and behead the drat thing felt like i may have been missing my shots, but i was easily hitting my shots earlier in the mission, idk

I want to love grenade launchers, I really do. But there is something about them that turns me from average shooter into trick shot champion, except the trick is the ability to thread the needle between the hit boxes of the enemy legs so the grenade explodes harmlessly somewhere well behind the target.
