I'm glad it is just a generalised number that gives you an idea of a weapon's quality at a glance, and that to get a better idea you might have to put some thought into it, maybe even try different weapons out and compare. But it's not generalised, that's the point. It's boosted or undersold based on variables that shouldn't boost/undersell it that much. E:f;b

My experience with this game so far has been fun. Starter area, me and five other guys stood round the laptop, making sure nobody could continue. We also had two guys in front of the door to get in. I then joined a group of pubs, one of them started going on about the cool lesbian doctor and how its so cool they're representing her. Said pubby got really annoyed when I asked why they care so much about a pixel persons sexuality and proceeded to yell at me for five minutes until I shot a dog, at which point he quit. Game is fun.

Utnayan posted:For me at any rate, it is about knowing there is mission variety so I am not doing the same mission type over and over. By that, wanting to know if it is at least disguised a bit. Say for instance, being sent in to destroy a shipment, sabotage an enemy loot cache, a mission having different objectives than go here, defend against a wave of enemies, rinse and repeat the entire game. If it has that, even if minimal and only with story missions, that would help and I would grab it over lunch on PS4. The abilities and skill options and pseudo base building look good, with a lot of customization - along with griefing the ever living poo poo out of Zaphod42 in a DZ while blasting Air Supply's "Here I am the one that you love" over my headset - can make the game epic while the little prick cries himself to sleep over his lost loot. For a serious answer, I've done about 10 missions. One was "defend these supply drops, they're not all in one area", two were "go through area, kill dudes", one was "find all the contaminated scanning things, go upload it. One was "defend this person", another was "free the hostages" and that's just from memory. I don't remember the rest because it was like 2am. There are also collectables/dark zone stuff. Plenty of variety in the three or so hours i've managed to get out of it. However if you're expecting this game to be revolutionary and come up with mission objectives that aren't "go here, do this" then lol. Not happening.

Whatever happened to that feature where you could play using an Ipad or something? I remember thinking that was cool because my little brother has one and is poo poo at shooters, so he could still participate using that. Also the dark zone is fun but the level difference is insane. Four level 10's were struggling to down a level 14 (granted when he did go down and got back up its because none of us realised the medic bag let you do that). Definitely worth staying out. My group are generally rogue hunters but we go rogue on occasion if its funny, we took out six people in one blast earlier and ended up having a rolling firefight all through the dark zone, even into the levels where we couldn't see the enemies levels as it was so high. Baiting people into high level looters/cleaners is loving great. Getting your filter up to level 4 seems important too, as anyone chasing you after you've gone rogue will have to gently caress off if you sprint into the subway.

Floppychop posted:I tried Seeker Mines and they seem like duds. Seeker mines are really good for dark zone fuckery. Just dropping them will make them follow you around. If you're planning on jumping an extraction, drop the mines early and stand around. When its time to kill people throw in a nade with your buddys. The mines will follow up to kill the downed players with no additional input from you.

If you specialise in tech and get the sticky bomb mod that applies bleed + the talent that increases bleed, you can single handedly clear entire extraction zones. I'm level 14, so are all my buds. We're all using level 4 gas masks and just run into the sewers once the manhunt is on. We've had at least 5 pubbies die before they realised where they were.

TG-Chrono posted:Does bleed stop you from using abilities and medkits like burn does? It doesn't, but i'm even when I took all the tech items off I was doing 300 tick damage, which after the initial blast is enough to kill most players. With it a player would die from full health from the DOT.

The dps jump between level 12 and 14 is insane. If a group of lower levels starts shooting a level 14, the level 14 can just stand there and shoot back. 90% of the time they'll die before you will.

SpaceDrake posted:Definitely having fun with this at the low levels - I still have problems with some of the enemy faction concepts (the "Rioters" feel like pandering to every Trump supporter's fever dreams of Violent Minorities and open license to shoot them, and the Rikers invoke all sorts of stereotypes about our manufactured prison population that I dislike; Cleaners and LMB own tho) but Third Person Cover Manshoots Diablo is far more enjoyable than I ever thought it would be, especially when I can roll around in the most ridiculous looking John Lennon sunglasses and stylish-as-gently caress jackets. If anyone wants to hang for lowbie nonsense ATM, Uplay name is TheSpaceDrake. Why are you bringing real world poo poo into a video game though? Like seriously, I see "angry dude with gun, angry biker dudes with guns, mental sanitation workers with guns and military gun dudes". I don't understand how people can look at everything they touch and go "you know, I wonder what political design this had". Its mindboggling.

I can see them needing to implement DZ by gear score at some point rather than just levels. I've hit 70k damage today and ran into a few guys who I couldn't dent at all, chatting to them after they're all fully yellow'd out.

I was roguehunting with my twink account and I ran into what I assume was a 13 year old doing the same thing and dancing around a dude he just downed. I double headshotted him with my sniper, picked the dude up and let him curbstomp the little fucker. DZ is fun.

Rabble posted:I actually think how rogue status works in the DZ is pretty perfect. The penalty is harsh enough that your average player isn't going to go rogue but still not stiff enough that the people who get entertainment from PvP wont group up and roll over pubbies. I get that people want PvP deathmatch but that's not what this is. Maybe in the future they'll have a wargame expansion with capture the flag and whatnot. What do you mean not stiff enough, my buddy got dropped as rogue and went down 2 DZ levels and lost 50,000 DZ credits. That's insane.

This reward is literally gently caress all compared the the penalty for loving up.

Zaphod42 posted:Read the rest of my post I did, but you're still claiming that there is an incentive. There isn't, if you want to go rogue, you are doing it for fun, not progress. People aren't ignoring loot and xp because its convenient, they're doing it because its like adding 1 damage to your pistol. Its negligible. Sure you agree that it isn't perfect, but that's not what i'm talking about, i'm just reaffirming that rogue has literally no upsides. None. Zero.

Zaphod42 posted:You can't say its negligible and then say its literally none and zero. That's a contradiction. You do get money and experience. You can argue you'd get more if you just hunted NPCs instead, but what if you hunted NPCs and players both? As long as you aren't dying, its a positive gain. You can say its a negligible gain, but its not zero. That's my point man, it might as well be nothing. I'll drop it because its a dumb thing to fight about and I don't actually want to die on a hill over my wording though. Sandweed posted:Every time I reached the max level for a DZ bracket i went in and farmed some loot. All my buds said they were going to do this, then they skipped 19/24/29. Now they're "not sure about the endgame". Motherfuckers I told you it was all grind! Phoix posted:Going from rank 1 to rank 30 takes ~130k xp and going from 30 to 50 takes ~487k xp. You can use +xp gear to make it slightly less awful but it's going to be a slog no matter what. I can't imagine they even intended for people to hit 50 before the DZ content patch in May. If they didn't they have vastly underestimated how much free time people have.

I would definitely pay good money for an extra area that you have to take bird coins into as a huge risk/reward thing. Maybe the more you take in the higher quality drops you can expect? A daily's worth of bird coins at a minimum but add half a percentage point for every extra coin you take in or something stupid.

The DZ03 extraction point with all the boxes and the ground helipad is amazing. Just met up with two random guys to clear it and help out the guy trying to extract alone. Another non english guy wades in and the place loving erupts with gunfire. The named boss spawns, cleaners come in from the north, enemies are pouring all over the place, at one point we must have been fighting 40+ enemies, including the named boss, an lmg elite and a cleaner elite. I don't think i've ever had that much fun in a game in the last few months.

Evernoob posted:What is the advantage of a burst weapon? Better for triple headshots? Burst weapons have no advantages aside from making you use less ammo than your friends. I use an AUG smg and it has absolutely no recoil with my mods/talents. I just tactical move (less damage while tactimoving and more once i'm there with less recoil) and then open up on their head. Will drop most enemies in half a clip (50% chance of keeping my bullet on a headshot) and the clip empties in a second or two. Yesterday I put the damage sig on, opened up on a named DZ enemy and obliterated the guy before he could react, was great. Stream of lead all day every day.
