  1. I'm not too keen on the new Spores. Now, yes, I didn't have a problem with the old ones...but there's a big big problem now.

    They need *way* too much attention given to the corner of the screen. Either, please, move the UI element far more centrally or - better still - go back to the older model where they didn't grow infinitely but didn't start off with negligible damage either.

     

    Also, not spreading on death via ticks means that it rapidly self-limits. I'd rather it did go low and ramp back up, but ONLY when it spreads via death. That way it'll take ages to do decent damage if you try and rely on only that, but it'll still spread nicely.

    If you ask me, the ramp up should be beneficial. Slow wind up, but provides bonus damage instead. Would do nothing against hordes of trash, but heavily armored eximi and bosses would see higher damage numbers.

    That's the sort of niche mechanic it'd be cool to see on some themed weapons...say...spectra/flux rifle.

    Not generally for beam weapons. "Heat" isn't really fun in a fast-paced game like WF.

    since yesterday i have been runinng all the mission sorties endless axi/neo and also bounties but never ran out of ammo . But did go down to 100 cause i dont use sentinels i alwz run adarza kavat. As in the current game state u rarely have to go over thn lvl 100 you will be fine with QV's ammo consumption.

    I just ask when people only show simulacrum testing.

    If it's working in endless missions with reasonable enemy levels, that's great. Do you use secondary fire much? (Honestly, I used to manually detonate a lot and that feels pretty poor...but it's not one of my primary weapons so I'll just use things I prefer)

    as for ammo consumption, the atomos may actually be considered part of the "single beam" beam weapons, and therefor only consumes 0.5 ammo per "shot" resulting in an increase in ammo efficiency. (the only beam weapons that use 1 ammo per shot are "multi beam" weapons like the convectrix, quanta, phage and the flamethrowers)

    Hm. Not listed...sounds like a test is required. I'll try and remember to do that later.

    (If it does, though, then it makes the synoid gamacore pretty much entirely obsolete...ah well, testing!)

  5. Yea, my problem with simulacrum testing is it's mostly damage testing, not mission-sustainability testing.

    There's been weapons with great DPS in the past which wee rarely used because you just went out of amo very quickly. (The embolist used to fail both, so hey improvement, but...)

    Embolist is... Well.... Hideously, disgustingly, sacrilegiously good now. 

    Go corrosive on that bad boy and just watch your troubles melt away. Literally. 

     

    Isn't it still very low amo?

    After the recent hotfix Quanta Vandal melts enemies like butter . Specially with corrosive damage

    Okay, but what's it's sustainability like in missions? Do you always need to pair it with carrier, or even then is it an issue?

    Simulacrum testing is only for damage, not sustained use!

    I use carrier 99% of the time because ammo is a really frustrating thing in this game. I routinely run out when I'm using a smeeta.

    Ah, right. I suspect it might be a weapon which rather /needs/ it, which I find a bit frustrating.

    It's nice weapons are getting more defined roles through - the Atomos is useful versus a relatively small number of enemies, versus something like the Amprex which you can make scale in non-linear way vs crowds... (And so is a clearer against infested...)

    The funny thing is, it doesn't even necessarily TAKE play testing to see that the changes are fine. Just math. But people are so attached to the mere concept of "red numbers" that they're not even willing to LISTEN to the math.

    Yup, just blocked someone who really didn't like me doing analysis. Well. Some stuff needed to be tested for feel like the Ignis*, but most things...

    (*Feels fine. But the Amprex is just better)

    HOWEVER when modded for corrosive or gas the Atomos is now much more powerful than before, I should have waited until playtesting to voice my concerns

    Honestly, I don't think you were, in terms of playing missions rather than just simulating small batches on them in the simulacrum. It drops off heavily against higher level enemies because of the magazine and amo limits. If they were increased by 25-30%, it'd be a much better weapon.
