Coolguye posted:Signing an NDA does not mean that they trust her more, nor does it mean she is going to get any more "demands" fulfilled. Obviously one can hope, but the meeting yesterday appeased some of the most vocal opponents while promising a sum total of dick aside from "better communication", which means nothing. I don't mean that it means nothing is promised, I mean it literally means nothing definitive and the whiners here spent their collective load while getting absolutely nothing in return except an appearance with almir. Which if your goal was to get on TV with a minor subculture celebrity, mission accomplished, I guess? What a world we live in. I'm agreeing with Coolguye.

Hitting a breakpoint is vital for ammo management and efficiency; you can work around it with good play, but you're effectively doubling the size of your ammo pool when you're killing with half as many bullets. Oh no, someone might have to hit an ammo bag once or twice. We'll never make it out.

Optimizing a gun does not mean using the "best" gun all the time, nor does it even necessarily mean doing the same thing that someone else does. Not optimizing a gun does not mean using the worst gun you can find, either. In any case, the AMCAR is totally usable, so...

Drewjitsu posted:Dude, just shut the gently caress up. This is an advice thread, as much as it is anything else. Saying "all things are fine, see you later!" Isn't giving advice to someone who doesn't know any better.  Just to remind you, though, the point of discussion is the importance of the 39.9 breakpoint. As Merc correctly points out, it doesn't particularly matter, even for most new people. Practically every gun will hit the relevant breakpoint for one-shotting Overkill greens, and the extra bullet for tans is hardly likely to make a substantial difference. The only context in which it would make a difference is if you're really bad at scoring headshots, at which point you'd be much better served to practice aiming. See that last bit? That's useful advice for bads. Unfortunately, it puts the onus of doing well on the individual, rather than a game mechanic, so I can understand why you all find that so upsetting.

Dr Cheeto posted:The BBQ pack is the single greatest piece of DLC that isn't in the GOTY bundle. The flamethrower is the best weapon in the game and has only gotten better with the crimefest rebalance. It's true. It used to seem like real garbage, but it is undeniably excellent and very DW-viable right now. It also shoots fire and that is Good. Even Dragon's Breath ammo, while lackluster, can feel pretty satisfying. Wear a BBQ hat and cook cops every day.

UnknownMercenary posted:The Repeater is still pretty decent if you install the BLT mod that fixes its ironsights. Shame about the Lebensauger though, and the Rattlesnake is a joke even with its boosted damage. Potentially controversial opinion, but the strength of the DMR weapons, particular the M308, makes sniper rifles a lot less appealing, IMO. I mean, sure, they can't penetrate shields, but they absolutely devastate every other enemy and have excellent fire rates.

I actually think Ex-Presidents is better than I originally thought. I agree that it is not as good as Grinder, especially as far as ease of use goes, and it is vulnerable on DW after getting downed. However, I think it holds a substantial amount of potential for people willing to learn how to play it. The main hangup is definitely how you lose your whole health battery to heal any amount of damage. I think this mechanic actually ends up nudging you to play the perk deck the "right" way, though. When you lose your armor, you shouldn't duck back into cover immediately. Stand out in the fire and soak up damage that is about equal to the size of your battery, and kill as many cops as you can in that time. Why? Well, because health regeneration is tied to armor regeneration, and killing cops makes your armor regenerate faster, if you kill enough cops after your armor breaks, you will regenerate all your health and armor practically instantly the moment you step into cover. That's fairly impressive, I think. Consider also that you can achieve pretty respectable dodge values in an LBV while doing this. I think a gimmick FugiTech might be an interesting approach to the perk deck.

Regenerating health is just absurdly useful. Health used to be a coveted resource, and it's no wonder DW used to be considered incredibly difficult: after one down, you were basically resigned to playing at 10% health until you needed to hit the medic bag. Between FAKs, Muscle, Grinder, and Gambler, though, health is basically the new armor. For Rogues, using health as armor and topping off with FAKs makes sense, but the continued influx of ways to regenerate your health without expending resources has probably really heavily tipped the balance.

Elman posted:Hey, I recently bought this and I was wondering: I've running a Mastermind/Enforcer build until now, but I realized Joker is pretty underwhelming, most people run ammo bags and I probably won't like moving slowly with the ICTV. So I made some changes: I assume you're taking Grinder. In which case, yes, this will work swimmingly. You could stand to drop Martial Arts, Sixth Sense, and Tough Guy, though, if you wanted 3 points for something else. I think you might also be advantaged by only taking basic Rifleman, and instead acing Nerves of Steel to get up Technician, but I suppose that's a matter of taste

Drewjitsu posted:While grinder works well on DW, it's much easier to get the hang of DW while playing in an ICTV. If he knows how to work a Grinder build, there's no reason he can't learn to make it work on DW. There's no need to shove people toward ICTV unless they've made it clear that they can't make any other build work. And this particular individual seems uninterested in the slowness associated with ICTV.

Deathwish is way beyond what I can handle because I'm a filthy casual If you have Helmet Popping unlocked in your perk tree, you can, with headshots, one-shot the green cops with one hit at 32+ damage.

Half the speed of the Lebensauger, among other deficiencies, so at that damage level, it's slow. It's also no faster than the Nagant/Platypus, so you don't even gain an RoF increase for giving up damage. You could also take an M308 for similar damage and ammo, but a much higher RoF.
