While the narrative that the community pulled off a real life major order is fun, it is definitely held back by the toxicity of it all.

The devs did not deserve the vitriol in the steam reviews, the discord, etc. the whole "movement" was also capitalized by some of gaming's worst voices.

At least folks in regions that don't support PSN will still be able to play - that to me seems like the real victory.

Ah, back to Heeth!


Also I'm not sure I've dived onto Acamar IV before either, gonna see what it looks like.

Decided to unlock the Scorcher as a little treat to myself. Fun weapon imho. Although I seem to get that bug where it doesn't reload properly a disproportionate amount on it for some reason.

Yeah, when I saw a screenshot of his comment inviting people to voice their displeasure through bad reviews and refunds I thought "It's true, but he shouldn't say it". Glad to hear management realized it wouldn't help anyone to retaliate against Spitz.

I like to bring flamethrower for bug missions, but in this case what would y'all recommend to bring to take down shrieker nest/spore spewer from afar?

Eat cool down is so short you can easily run it with other support weapon strategems. Plus it comes in handy for bile titans

With the recent changes to require armor penetration, I'd lean EATs vs continuing to run quasar.

Shrieker Nests still require 2-3 shots dependent on distance (seems like they've adjusted that you can't snipe from the other side of the map now), spore spewers are usually 2 shots instead of one now.

No real meaningful change for the Quasar. I'd still run Quasar over EAT unless doing the more tower defense / elimination missions because you can't call in EAT with environmental effects or if the mission timer runs out.

What's best way to find stalker nest if any? Just go in the direction it came from and look for red on the map?

That is my go to. As soon you clock the relative direction head that way and the enemy asset alert will sound out when you get close.

Many times you will approach at the right angle and see it well in advance of that.

Unless something's changed, there won't be a red dot on the map. So you follow the direction from which they came and look for a tall mound with bug holes in it that isn't showing red on your map. When you get close it will say you have discovered a Stalker Lair.

Took a peek in the discord, it's on fire with rampant bigotry, queerphobia, transphobia, you name it. No one gives a shit about the PSN linking already, the chuds got to attack people and fling their shit all over with plausible deniability by pretending to be mad about PSN

They really need to just delete chat channels if they can't be moderated

What annoys me about Stalkers more than anything is when they fuck off into the sunset if you don't immediately kill them.

I pursued one that was leading me beyond the map boundaries. Muldoon_clever_girl.gif

They're mad scary after the update since their camo actually works quite well now.

Only good thing is I feel they're squishier and damaging them still makes them slightly visible because of the blood

I just really want to see how they do Hive lords, a megaboss sounds very fun to fight

It would be really cool if they can show up mid-mission and cause the objective to shift

What's funny is they kind of didn't need it since their MO is to usually jump you from behind anyways. But yeah, it's good that they're a priority to deal with now because they're so much harder to spot in the midst of action.

Pre-patch it was funny watching them try to sneak up on you when they were in front of you since they were not doing a good job lol.

Post-patch, it's like a jump scare.

This is the way. The outrage brought a lot of people who took advantage to spew their hatred. I'd keep contact with the Discord to a minimum until they cull them and things return to some normalcy.

I love my heavy gunner loadout (MG + Eruptor + heavy armor/shield pack) but the Heavy MG needs more mags, that thing eats ammo faster than even the post-nerf Breaker. Does (way) more damage per bullet than the standard MG but you run out of them real fast

If sustained fire on the same part from an Autocannon could break off armor (like firing an entire volley into a charger), I'd be rocking that in a heartbeat on heavy builds. It feels like there's an overreliance on rocket anti-armor weapons right now, I want the Big Fucking Gun that shreds heavy armor with big enough bullets or enough of them thrown at it.

I miss the charger leg meta. Using one weapon to break armor, and then another one to rapidly deplete the enemy's health, is the pinnacle of game design.

I wish hitting them in the head with something like a rocket only removed the head armor exposing a fleshy head that still needed to be shot a few times with a regular primary weapon to kill them. Feels so unsatisfying and cheap to me to just blow their heads off so easily.

Honestly this is what should have happened, linking the account rewarding users with some cosmetics, like a helmet/armor/cape combo.

Man things are rough with just 2 people.

We got randoms but I'm not sure if the servers are borked or something but people kept leaving in the middle of fights. I think they disconnected so the patrols were swarming us on a bug planet, especially since we have the MO increase spawn rate.

I wish they would tune the patrol numbers back down to exponential.

I'm usually duoing with my friend in our sessions. If DoT bug was fixed it would be so much easier.

A lot of things would be easier with dot fix lol. Napalm could actually control an area.

They're likely going to have to change fire damage after the dot fix because they definitely buffed it pretty high

One of my friends likes to keep picking DOT stuff (flamethrower, napalm, gas) even though I keep telling them about the bug. It's obvious they're not the network host when you see even fleas just chilling in flame carpets like they're T-800s. But I guess they like those weapons so what're you gonna do.

I feel like rewarding review bombing is a double edged sword. Good luck to them the next time they release an unpopular balance patch 😅

God I hate Hunters so much.

Really not enjoying the spawn boost to <4 players. Soloing a couple low level missions now just to chill seems like such a pain now.
