Plague Star already confirmed Sentients are completely immune to all existing Infested, not just Helminth

This was in the original Dark Sectors trailer, and while it's still probably canon I don't think it's ever actually been shown

While absolutely correct in the broader game, the Murmur enemies are very inconsistent when they are and are not immune to Viral, at least in my experience >.>

You've got your Atomos set to Corrosive+Heat against a faction that isn't weak to either. Culervin die instantly if you break their arms, Arcocanid are susceptable to easy headshots, and the rock monster enemies rely on massive HP pools instead of armor -- you need to kill them with Radiation damage, not Corrosive Augur Pact stacks additively with Hornet Strike. You want to replace one of them with another mod that stacks multiplicatively, such as Expel Murmur And your Atomos doesn't have an Arcane. These are free power, see if you have any secondary arcane adaptors left

I have seen it occasionally, but with no rhyme or reason. I can't tell if it's a bug causing the next wave to start prematurely, or if the next wave actually auto-starts if you haven't killed the current wave quickly enough

@SneakyErvinLet me put it this way: This is dieselpunk , but I get the impression you would disqualify it as being far too advanced for dieselpunk

Visceral heuristics. The reinforcement of the idea more activity = more results. Or as you said: In these games, yes! You call it brainless, but it's more a multitasking thing: Holding a button while doing another thing is easy. MASHING a button while doing another thing is harder. And doing it successfully is more rewarding

One thing I've seen in some other games: hold to fire continuously, but tap to fire faster I think it would be a neat experiment here

Ok so I was wrong, THIS is our disconnect Yes, the aesthetics ARE dieselpunk. Both the visual aesthetics (mixing the grungy interwar and WW2 industrial flavor with elements of the fantastical) and the thematic aesthetics (a rise of fascism and an average citizen living through hardships of the great depression contrasted with pulp fiction and adventure narratives), that is what Dieselpunk is. That is what it means. Getting hung up on "oh this is anachronistic, it's three months more advanced than what G.I. Steve was assigned on the beaches of Normandy" is looking at EVERY punk genre completely wrong, to say nothing of dieselpunk specifically

Kevlar armor, radio backpacks deliberately modeled after the SCR300, heavy machine guns based on the M2 Browning and the MG131, Guard tech can be recharged in campfires which is a reference to the British soldiers making tea on the battlefield in WW1 and 2. Oh and let's not forget deliberate callbacks to WW2 with the famous quotes of Chenkov (Stalin) and Macharius (mashup of Alexander the Great and Patton) But apparently the very existence of lasers disqualifies anything and everything from being dieselpunk, sure

It's fairly normal these days, actually. Game merchandise. Activision and EA do it, Valve used to do it, Korean f2p mobile games do it. And Warframe does it The $170 price tag is sadly also normal. The overhead on a resin statue sculptor isn't cheap, so a lot of that price tag is just making sure the company can break even

I'm thinking this here is where our disconnect is. Where I come from the term "dieselpunk" refers to the tech level, not the literal year on the calendar. So... Your average Imperial Guardsman is absolutely using Dieselpunk technology. While you are correct the 40k franchise uses multiple tech levels blended together on the whole, I specified the Imperial Guard, they get NONE of the advanced "Raygun Gothic" stuff and are stuck with boxy, pseudo-WW2 looking Dieselpunk tech I forget why we are even talking about this. I think someone said Warframe had dieselpunk in it, which I objected to

Keep in mind this is far ahead of the curve for most love service games, which are funded on a roughly 2%. The so called "whales" (term coined by a CEO) who spend 1k$ per year. Compared to your average f2p mobile game asking me to pay $99 every single login, I've always respected Warframe for letting me go right to the missions and only asking for five bucks every few weeks

By "punk" are you talking about the gangsters and hackers from Cyberpunk stories? Because while they are indeed a pretty critical component of Cyberpunk specifically, they're treated as largely optional in other punk genres.

Octavia is only as complicated as you want to make her. Her bread and butter is pressing 1 (mallet) then 2 (roller) and sitting back while enemies kill themselves. Mallet draws aggro and deals damage to enemies who attack it, roller doubles the mallet's aggro value and brings the mallet closer to enemies so they can attack it better If you want to do more with Octavia, you also press 4 (Amplify). This creates a "sound field" around yourself. Any Tenno in the sound field gains +200% base damage on all weapons (stacks additively with Serration), and all Mallets gain a 2x damage and range multiplier The only complicated part with Octavia is her 3 (Metronome). It's almost impossible to use to its fullest extend without completely building your gun fire rate and melee attack speed around it. Most people only use it for the invisibility buff. Styanax looks intimidating at first, but he's very simple once you know what each button does. Press 1 (javelin) to throw a javelin that stuns enemies. Press 2 (shield strike) to throw a bunch of magic shields that heal you if they hit enemies, and also reduce enemy armor. Press 3 (Rally Point) to activate a buff, and while the buff is active you regenerate shields each time an enemy dies. Press 4 (final stand) to jump in the air and throw a ton of spears at enemies Zarr and Ogris

"Real robot" is a flavor of anime that means "mecha, but portrayed more realistically and grittier than Power Rangers." A common example is the original Mobile Suit Gundam It would help if you actually knew what you were talking about before you tried to critique me on this. 40k deliberately draws from multiple inspirations for each individual army, let alone the franchise as a whole. The Cadian/Imperial Guard art style is absolutely based around diesel punk sensibilities, drawing references from World War 2 era tanks, a slight but still noticable flavor of pulp fiction, and the eschewing of the more fanciful rayguns wherever possible in favor of tried and tried, boring but practical gasoline and bullets

Speak for your own cynical self, because as long as I get a copy of Dante's blueprints I'm helping Drusus pro bono!

Basically, you're assuming it would actually cause the states issues of disastrous press and negative legal action, whereas I truly and genuinely believe such fears are overblown and DE would not face any real consequences for that That's the abstract. I understand both of our arguments have some level of naivete and various assumptions involved. But at least we agree on one thing: FOMO is terrible and we are disappointed in DE for resorting to it

I'm confused, don't you want MORE people to join you in holding DE to task for doing terrible sh*tty FOMO tactics? Because I would totally join you in doing that, but you don't seem to want the help

That is the exact opposite of what I want to do I want DE to suck up their stupid pride and just sell the Heirloom skins to everyone. Bite the bullet and just stop doing FOMO and sell the damn skins

No I'm not particularly interested in arguing rhetoric for the sake of arguing. I'm curious if you two have an instance of this being litigated in court This is all fine rhetoric, it's a shame I have to snip it out for brevity. Any records of this being litigated in court?

Lawyers and scholars of law are only one part of the judicial system The other part is the jurors. Ordinary citizens like you and me. The lawyers bring up the wording, they spell out the precedent, but WE decide the verdict. WE say what the law SHOULD be (But not you and me specifically, we would be dismissed from the jury for being too familiar with the plaintiff and defendant)

The law is only as strong as our will to enforce it If you can find me a case where anyone has EVER bothered to level a lawsuit (much less actually won it) against "never to be seen again!" advertising, I'll concede the point

Because I seriously don't believe that's actually a problem. Companies bring back "never to be seen again!" items all the time, like literally all the time, and none of their customers care. Why would it suddenly be a problem for DigitalExtremes?

See that billowing smoke and dull green armor plating? That is a textbook example of dieselpunk, like you can't be more dieselpunk than that
