I'm not familiar with networking but just to check, y'all aren't sharing the game via family share on steam or anything, you're using a separate license each regardless of the platform? Have you checked your network speeds or searched google for any similar issues? Is it giving you or your son an error code when it boots you out of a game?

Sounds very much like packetloss. Do a continuous ping from the machine to your router/default gateway and another continuous ping to something on the Internet (like 1.1.1.1). Tab over to that when the issues start and you'll certainly see dropped packets. The question will be is it just the Internet ping or is it both. If it's just the Internet, that's on your ISP. If it's both, you're probably using wireless and your signal is poor or getting interference at times.

It could potentially be your modem. A few years ago I was having a similar issue in several games, and replacing my aging modem remedied it

Did some googling the other day and there was a bit about two computers sharing an external ip address, but I couldn't understand how to fix it. No, we each have our own copy. We share some games but not these two specifically. Network speeds should be ok. Last test was 300up/300down Mbps And no error codes that i remember, just kicked back to the lobby.

Are you playing in your local region? I live in Japan, but I usually play with US friends in their server region. During periods of high latency between regions, I sometimes experience the same stuttering/lag. Similarly, when my US friends play games hosted by the Pacific region server, they occasionally experience the same issue, while I have a smooth connection. I realize that's a shot in the dark, because unless you've manually changed your server (on the in-game mission map), you and your son will probably be in your home server region by default.

And fwiw if you have an old modem and high up/down speeds you may want to check what the modem/router is rated for. If your modem can only handle x amount of up/down and you're paying for a much higher y amount of up/down, all you're getting is that x amount. Upgraded myself somewhat recently after my old modem died and it was night and day for the difference, I'd actually been choking my speed by like 100mb cause of the old modem and not realized!

Cretin90 posted:Is warp nexus IV just rare as gently caress or what? The rank 4 blessings are much more common when going from purple to orange than from green to blue. Depending on your risk tolerance you can also reroll the blue blessing into an existing rank 4 blessing you have since the orange blessing won't roll into one already on the weapon. Force staves only have about 6 blessings per staff type at rank 4 which is easier to chase than the weapons that have 9 or 10.

Yea this is the approach I'm already taking, I guess I'm just having not great luck combined with not grinding hard enough. I would estimate I am 0 for 15 on trauma, voidstrike, and surge staves, which is to say across all the times I've upgraded those staves to orange, I've never gotten warp nexus IV on any of them. Unfortunate as I like all of them and would be happy with warp IV on any of those particular staff types.

Yeah, and I suppose it gives me something to work toward. I just leveled my second psyker to 30 so I have double the Melk odds each day for decent poo poo. Also I have a god roll (for me) Zarona that consecrated juuuust right so that’ll hold me over.

The biggest factor in finding a particular blessing is the total number of blessings that could possibly appear on a weapon. Getting Warp Nexus on a Surge or Purgatus should be cake since there's only 3 different possibilities for each tier, but Voidstrike and Trauma are drastically harder since you can get up to 7. Force swords are possibly the worst, with 11 possibilities per tier.

Yeah I use that one too because it breaks down crit and weakspot rates. I probably wouldn't use a scoreboard at all if I didn't typically play with a static group of friends though.

How would you guys change this strangely good mission reward? This is on my crit assail psyker. I'm having an absolute loving blast using it literally as is (chain killing maulers with block push + max haymaker stacks is hilarious). I'm aware haymaker is a "bad" choice according to my psyker bible (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2917274959). I'm thinking sprint efficiency > Carapace, Flesh Tearer > Uncanny Strike IV? I know the obvious choice would be haymaker to uncanny strike but ... I'm actually really enjoying spamming the wide heavies on hordes. E. Crit chance might be good too.  I'm currently using assail for horde clearing and the knife for supplementary, and a carapace-specced Zarona for big bads (80 dmg/77 penetration, 25 carapace/25 maniacs, surgical IV/hand-cannon IV).

Pick 2 of 4 of Weak Spot Damage, Flak Damage, Crit Chance, and Elite Damage on the perks and you'll be good to go.

While arguably the knife is probably one of the few weapons that can actually make use of it with insanely high finesse damage, that's more of a "it could be worse" argument than being actually good. Usual thread PSA that +crit damage and +weakspot damage perks only modify the bonus damage you do from getting either a crit or weakspot hit, not the base damage the weapon gets. They're garbage. Don't use them if you have the option.

What would you use instead? The weakspot damage bonus is pretty massive.  E: also, I considered switching to the crit aura and it is infuriating that the toughness damage reduction scaling with peril is gated behind the other two auras. I can’t forgo both that AND psykinetic’s aura. Cretin90 fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Mar 31, 2024 |

I dunno, the issue is you aren't always going to be hitting the head 100% of the time, and could get a damage bonus vs a problem enemy that applies to all the damage 100% of the time you're hitting it. If you like it and want to give it a try, go for it. Maybe you'll discover that it's good, actually and can post about it here. Also tbh even though it's not active combat you could go try it out in the psykanium and see how different damage bonuses match up.

I’m happy with it but I’ll give it a try with flak or something. It’s very up close and personal for combat which is an adjustment for me compared to a force sword lol. Question, how do weapon perks and blessings interact with blitzes (like assail)? I’m assuming the perks don’t interact but if I were to proc Hand-Cannon on my revolver and rapidly swap to assail, will my assail benefit from the 60% rending for however long that buff lasts?

It’s very up close and personal for combat which is an adjustment for me compared to a force sword lol. blessings/perks on a weapon are only intended to affect the weapon. The caveat being if you have a weapon with +power blessings, that +power affects anything you do while the weapon is out and the blessing is active. As soon as the weapon is not active, you lose any +power from it.  does mean that unintended things can slip through like handcannon affecting melee weapons as well etc. Part of the reason gunyker worked before the overhaul was because pinning fire let you boost your warpfire damage which you could spread via shout. +Power also affects things like bleeding etc which is why the slapback works so well.
