It wouldn't have turned into such a big ordeal if people had stayed on topic. But really, most people don't know how to debate. Thats why colleges offer classes to teach you how to debate. A large portion of this thread is just me defending my position from people attempting to insult or question either my emotional state, my personality, my interests, my skill level as a player, or my motives for posting, among other irrelevant subjects. I'm surprised noone has questioned my sexual preference yet. But, point being.. none of these things have anything to do with the topic.
This was my first time trying to post something on a video game forum, and will probably be the last :P
I might be a selfish egotistical illiterate homosexual muslim african american lawyer who enjoys the occasional b.eastiality and self sodomization. But even if I were, thats all irrelevant to a debate topic, and I try to not bring up such matters, even if backed into a corner, because.. well, its neither on topic or productive. And why should anyone care.
Thanks for caring, but yeah. Most of them are here. I also posted info on arkfall codes to someone who had a question. And info on lock boxes in another, if I remember correctly. This was the first, though.
And once again, way off topic and not relevant. I've been nothing but polite to people in this thread, I've conducted myself in a mature and coherent fashion, and only asked to stay on topic, so I'm not sure what your "good riddance" is all about. But hey, to each his own.
If you guys care enough about my personality rather than the build that i posted, then just start another thread about my personality or motives or whatever. If not, then as I said, please stay on topic.
People on these forums REALLY seem to care about what other people are feeling, rather than sticking to the topic at hand. I'm curious, from a psychological standpoint, why that is... but thats a topic for another day.
I personally don't care if you're butthurt. I don't care if you're mad, I dont care if your sad, happy, etc. I, being a kind person, would prefer that people be happy, but, I'm not going to delve into your emotional state on a forum. Other people though.. well, just read some forum threads. People reeeally care about whether or not the next person is mad or "butthurt", egotistical, all things pertaining to other people's personal lifestyles and mindset, and will go out of their way to point them out, rather than just keep it to themselves. I thought we learned to do away with this kind of behavior in middle school? Maybe it makes them feel better about themselves? I dunno. But, like i said, topic for another day.
EDIT:
Here's how immature, uneducated forum goers debate:
Original topic: Apples are usually round in shape and easier to roll across a table than bananas.
Reply: "i don't like apples."
Reply: "apples taste better than bananas"
Reply: "you're just butthurt they're not purple"
Reply: "i don't have tables in my house"
Reply: "you're gay"
Reply: "you're stupid for eating apples"
This seems to be a great example of the way forum users debate topics. Although it is slightly exaggerated.. only slightly.
I'm not sure why you decided to post in this thread.
To Deiphysity, more information about the mechanics and synergies is always good. To those who call such synergies cheap, they're designed. You're meant to find the synergies, and use them in new and exciting ways. That's the whole point of the EGO grid and the weapon bonuses/mods.
I think it's fun to go for a build, but I don't personally think it's even necessary.
For the first couple of weeks of the game I took 2nd, 3rd, or 4th on most of the arkfalls I did. For the last week or so I get 1st in damage now, often by a lot, as long as I don't show up late. I really don't use any particular build at all, or even focus on the perks much...some I've never even tweaked.
I use SMG's for general use, Votan sniper (the fast-firing 1kish damage one) for long-range fights, a pump shotgun for ammo conservation fights and sometimes a swarm launcher for Monarchs on the last phase of a major arkfall. The key to it seems to be as much switching loadouts to match the situation as much as just having something solid to use; if I need to fall back on something, for me it's the SMG because of the very fast reload times not limiting the amount you can fire... but only works when ammo is dropping enough to keep it going.
I use Gunslinger, the perk to increase ammo drops, and the rest I use for health boosts or incoming damage reduction. Can't shoot if you're dead. On my sniper and shotgun loadout I use the increased reload speed when standing still perk to minimize downtime (huge on a pump shotgun with a 17-shot capacity, although it doesn't always work right).
Anyway, just a suggestion for people looking at perk builds to look at loadouts just as much if not more than the actual perks. Having different weapon types readily available so you're never out of ammo is as big of a deal as making sure you get the most damage out of what you're using.
I couldn't stop laughing reading this thread. This guy seriously needs a couple pats on the heads so he can calm down. Never seen ANYONE that needed attention so badly. I couldn't help but picture the op being this guy that's drugged out, talking way too fast, and twitching. Lol, please make more threads for more lols.
