I’m all for criticism. It’s not what I’m against.
Yep, everyone likes something.
Ok well thank you for the rundown (taken with a grain of salt I’m sure you’ll understand).
Hmmmm yeah with a certain other forum member returning recently and turning a heap of threads into flame wars I’m probably a bit burnt out on the amount of hostility around here currently.
Disgustingly reasonable.
You’re free to draw your own conclusions, for example the topic from personal experience.
And the… really weird flow chart thing.
Make of it what you will 
I won’t pretend I’m a saint or something but most topics I’ve seen that have engaged with him have gotten derailed/off topic/turn unpleasant.
(This sounds potentially sassier than I meant it to in retrospect, I genuinely respect the desire to take anything people say with a grain of salt, hence linking the things I was referring to)
Cheers appreciate the links. I probably shouldn’t butt in if I can’t be bothered to go comment hunting to check my memory in the first place anyway
So everyone ignore me but also if we can all be chill that’d be pretty cool.
I dont think builds such as gold toughness spam being almost a necessity is good game design. Havoc just points out all the flaws in their balancing philosophy even more
Imagine pus hardened skin affecting melee damage or randomly rolled between ranged and melee, like how the Mechanicus game rolled energy and physical resistances.
@alsozara Zoralink is mischaracterizing my intentions and discussions. I’ve clarified my use of tools transparently, I aim to exchange ideas, not to ‘win.’ His frustration with my points fuels this, and fails to address substance instead resorting to ad hominem.
I’m really enjoying Havoc. Auric feels so relaxing in comparison. Still die too much in both modes, but it’s a welcome step up in difficulty and I love that it’s starting to generate new metas / build options.
Nah he just said he likes the way AI is eloquent or something
All I can see when I read his posts is this and it’s hard not to have a laugh about it:
Yes, this is why the old Darktide itemisation / crafting systems and VT2 Weaves were such a hit…
It took 2 years and probably some humility for someone to go, “ok, maybe we should act on feedback from players actually play our game”. They actually listened and have given the DT playerbase an itemisation system which says progression, instead of “f…your free time and time investment, we run a casino here”.
Yes, Fatshark has made some good games, yes they “mostly” get it right, but they are not infallible.
What’s crazy to me is that my post that explained it was removed but so many other straight up toxic insulting posts I’ve seen are left.
This is now twice a normal post was removed. The other one because I said shouldn’t engage with someone. What is up with these forums?
Agreed. I’m liking the challenge. It’s a bit of pain finding games without hosting and the rewards could be mo bettah, but that’s the way it goes. I’m looking forward to seeing where it’s going.
