“It’s a game so it doesn’t matter” goes onto rant for another 25 minutes about how it does matter
@kismet4918
@kismet4918 10 месяцев назад
It’s funny but I think you and waste fell into the same trap when talking abt hipster. To waste, hipster is suboptimal in coordinated teams in modded, where every class in min maxing according to their strengths and weaknesses. In general, generalists are worse there because they typically cost a class a bit of their strength (if your driller can’t clear crowds as well as he could then what is he even doing that the rest of the team can’t do better) In your case, it’s the opposite. In solos and pubs, where your builds are not coordinated, everyone needs to build for everything, and so you collectively become worse at dealing with certain situations. However, in situations where the team is getting ambushed by a cloud of mactera, or a truckload of swarmers, it would be better to have someone who specializes in taking out those targets, or else everyone focuses them down, and then there’s nobody to kill the other bugs. Once the team gets tested with a really hard mission with tons of every kind of enemy (and you can have those situations in Edds or even a rlly unlucky haz 5 mission), you’ll start to appreciate how much quicker you could do things if everyone picked their targets according to their strengths. Of course, there is a limit to both. You shouldn’t spec so hard into a role that you can’t do anything else, but you also shouldn’t generalize so much that you aren’t helpful to a coordinated team. It rlly shows that while drg isn’t particularly balanced, it can get away with it because of the variety of ways you can play the game. Different builds do different for different play styles, solos or teams, coordinated or pubs, modded or vanilla etc.

can't forget solo play when talking about modded, at that point you kind of need to be a generalist because your seeing every type of bug at such high quantities that you need to be ammo efficient, need to deal a lot of damage to all the types (swarms big 'uns and hvt's)

@@carpet_appetite I mean it wasn’t horrid; it was a little exaggerated but he’s right in saying hipster is overrated and one of the worst options on m1k, it’s just still good in the right circumstances. It’s just focus shot builds can also be generalist if you learn them and use blowthrough, and they also do scouts role better (more damage at range, stun, kills HVTs faster). It’s not like you absolutely have to use hipster in solos or pubs, it’s only arguably better there, and is definitely worse in a good composition.

@turmspitzewerk 10 месяцев назад
i think that's his point, hipster doesn't rely on its weakpoint modifier anywhere near as much as AISE does. AISE has a good edge if you can consistently hit weakpoints, but if you're not; its going to be pretty miserable compared to a huge number of other scout primary builds. if you do 10% extra damage during the weakpoint phase compared to hipster, but 50% less damage during the armor phase, hipster will come on top. although, the "armor" phases for hiveguards and twins are very negligible. AISE is more than good enough for those two, and being a little worse off against a standard dread isn't the worst thing in the world. (you can probably just use your secondary.)

So I finally understand what this situation reminds me of. There was a lot of discussion in the broader FPS community around the game design of Doom 2016, Doom Eternal and Ultrakill. In Doom 2016, you have a deep ammo pool for each weapon so you could stick to using a few weapons you prefer and not touch others and you'll still be able to complete the game even on the higher difficulties. In Doom Eternal, that was no longer the case. Max ammo was constrained, and you are forced to use all 8 weapons interchangeably and combo them together to even really play the game. Mobility was expanded, too, so the game expects you to master Doomguy's movement to a higher degree. Later on with expansions you also have to juggle a few throwables and a few tools. It's a different design philosophy where the game tries to force you into the infamous "fun zone" where if you stick to it and do what is expected of you, you do really start to feel like an unstoppable god of destruction. Ultrakill is not like that, you can complete it with just the starter pistol if you want because the game has unlimited ammo, however it still has deep movement mechanics and weapon interactions that allow you to do absolutely wild stuff such as punching shotgun shells to make them go faster or reflect railguns off of coins tossed into the air for massive damage. Under The Mayo did a video where he disapproved of Ultrakill because of its perceived failure to _force_ you to switch guns around like in Doom Eternal, which he was flamed for and there was a bit of drama around it because he came off as a bit elitist and inflexible, as if the Eternal way is the only right way to play FPS and from now on "good" FPS should force you to play that way. Which is not the case, games are supposed to be fun. Here, this is basically the same kind of discussion. Yes, you can play DRG on Haz 5 with only using the Hipster M1k, without ever touching your secondary even. That's absolutely fine. However, eventually it just stops being fun or challenging. If you try the same approach on modded Hazards, it just doesn't work. There are way too many bugs even for Hipster. You won't be able to kill the most dangerous bugs fast enough nor will you be able to hold your ground against hordes of smaller bugs. However, when you look at the game in the broader context, you notice that the 4 dwarves have between them 8 guns, multiple throwables, and mobility tools. Familiar is it not? It's the same choice. There will be players who prefer to stick to the generalist guns which are comfortable, but these players will face difficulties coping with challenging scenarios or constrained resources. There will be players who prefer to specialize to the max, and play in a team which, collectively, will use every one of their 8 guns all the time against different targets by playing off each other and performing sick combos. These players will feel like Haz 5 is underwhelming, and will install mods to increase the challenge to the level of their team's true ability. Vanilla DRG doesn't force anyone to play a certain way, play any way you find fun. But if you struggle with increasing the difficulty you play on, you should try to specialize and avoid generalist weapons. And maybe find a decent team of players who know what they are doing. This also avoids the plateau of DRG lategame when the weapon overclock grind is complete and there is not much game content to engage with. You have to create your own challenge and figure out if you still like the game even when it stops holding your hand. And there is external content tailored to players who feel that way.

@@Storse I meant that if you look at other FPS games beyond DRG you will find some similar themes. I used this particular example here because I remember it well. But I can also recall, say, the disdain that the Counter-Strike community holds for certain weapons like machine guns and some SMGs which are imprecise, spammy, and fail to remove key enemy players in firefights quickly enough, which is, too, very similar to how Hipster works in DRG and how it is viewed. They, too, advise that it is better for a team to have members dedicated to specific roles such as an AWP sniper and to use weapons which can reliably land headshots as opposed to weapons that are spray-and-pray.

Even in the super long video they did, the other CC he was doing the video with wasn't super adamant about how bad he though hipster is, but waste was very strongly against it. Personally I really don't see the overclock being so bad that it's worse than nothing or even a low tier overclock. There's a good chance in modded difficulties it's not an ideal overclock and doesn't make use of m1000's strengths to the fullest, which may be the reason why he doesn't like it. I will add some nuance though, waste himself said that Hipster doesn't really fall into "worse than nothing" because it's really changing the gun into an entirely different weapon.

And muh fella Axis over here closes up with saying he only cares about vanilla, and how in vanilla generalist builds (and hipster being the best of them) are usually kings because they allow to have a good time no matter the circumstances, while throughout whole video taking jabs at people that take waste's approach to viewing the game. The cherry on top is, Axis have said before that LARPers (RolePlayers as he called them) are bullying him for choosing to do speedplay, while sending shots in this video at people that view this game through the lens of modded difficulties only, forgetting that vanilla is way different. The things both dudes be saying is hilarious to me personally , I love it
@mastersanada
@mastersanada 10 месяцев назад
@@yaroslavcoloskov6357 Yea I think the major problem is it's so difficult to really make a comprehensive tier list without completely getting the tier list wrong in some aspects. If we're rating OCs purely off of fun, that'd be subjective (for the most part. We all know nukes are fun). If we're rating them off normal play, certain ones were certainly be up there, whereas others wouldn't be. If we were rating them purely on modded play, the tier list would also look different. All in all, I think a fair number of the tier lists in the game don't really help if you yourself don't already have a fundamental understanding of the game (which I think Axis does actually talk about). You won't understand *why* waste's tier list makes sense until you play the same difficulties he does extensively with those builds, and in the same way you won't understand why Axis' arguments make sense until you play extensively the way he does. I, however, do think that as a whole waste's tier lists are very helpful and do generally point out strong and weak overclocks. I think some of his stronger opinions could be a little more moderate (and the other CC in that 4 hour marathon tier list video I think was more moderate in his opinions and that helped).

@@ParasocialCatgirl No. Hitting two normal shots requires you to aim at the target, shoot, wait for the bloom to subside, then aim at the target a second time, and shoot. Hitting a focus shot requires you to hold down M1 for a bit, aim with pinpoint accuracy, and fire once. It's easier to execute in practice. Especially when you're dealing with multiple targets. You can use the time it takes to set up the focus shot to aim, and you won't lose any DPS. But hitting max DPS with good accuracy with hip shots takes much more skil because you don't have much time to aim between shots and you have to manage recoil.

Drg is a horde shooter, you get run on by pretty fast enemies, at the end of the day you are defending yourself and teammates from dying and not wasting revives/HP, so when a horde of enemies are after you, the gunner isn’t always gonna be able to kill every single grunt, they aren’t even all aggro toward them. I just urge these people to try and play like you would solo, yes you know your gun is good at certain things but at the end of the day you kill grunts in solo, not your teammates.

I think High Value Targets should not be confused with priority targets, because the latter depends on your class. Consider this: say you're a scout in a full team in the middle of a swarm. There is a sea of grunts, two menaces and a couple of macteras. What do you shoot first? Correct, you take down the menaces, and cryo the macteras while you're at it. And now, *if you don't have anything better to do,* you might as well shoot some grunts, because otherwise you're just leaving firepower on the table. Now picture a driller built for sticky flames in this same scenario. Do you bother sniping down those menaces with your subata or TCF or something? Obviously not, you have a horde of grunts coming towards you, and you have a goddamn flamethrower. But now those are gone, and one of the menaces is still burrowing around. Naturally you shouldn't ignore it, even if someone else is focusing on it, you can always help kill it even if it's just by setting it on fire, and especially if it's by freezing it. HVTs are usually considered to be things that can do lots of harm individually or in small numbers. Priority targets are what YOU as a given class would be best suited to deal with in a given situation. HVTs are Scout's priority, but that doesn't mean they have to be the only things he shoots. You have a gun. *Use it.* Of course, this is all in the context of teamplay, where the strengths of different classes make up for the weaknesses of others and/or complement their strengths. Solo, on the other hand, is a different story, because there you can grab hipster + fire bolts like Axis did and pulverize everything in your way.

@madkirby823
@madkirby823 3 месяца назад
Exactly, noone is saying you should ignore grunts and kill HVT's only and do nothing in meantime. But since scout deals with HVT's that much better than others, he should immediately switch focus to them once they appear and threaten the team. E.g. a driller could be unaware about that trijaw charging his shot from behind since he is busy with trash mobs. But a scout can easily avoid getting swarmed and look around to prioritize spitters, mactera or menaces and once he has cleared all those, turn to help dps trash mobs. E.g. a driller, especially with TCF, has a VERY hard time dealing with menaces. Meanwhile for scout it is point and click. Playing to strengths helps a ton.

If you dare to ignore missed breakpoints, and just "shoot it again", taking any implications from raw total damage as nitra/ammo efficiency is a fallacy. Because if you just stack 500 healthbars of bugs altogether, you can't say you need 2 full ammo loads if full ammo load total damage just because one full load is 50% worth these 500 healthbars. You will lose on overkill. M1K-18 clipsize is the actual build that can care not about where you shoot your bullet. It both has blowthrough and time to kill a grunt pack because it has... yes you got it - it has the breakpoints. It does it cheaper and you still can just spam the full DPS of it into whatever target you like. And yep, M1K-18 is a hipspam build. It only uses focuses for long range and T5 utility. I mean, sure 6rof is better for dopamine if you get dopamine from shooting your gun as fast as possible. Otherwise if one asks for "most ammo efficient M1K build" you either take the breakpoints into account or keep your blind total ammo fallacy with you.

And focus shots still blow Hipster out of the water when you want to kill that Acid Spitter, Trijaw, Menace or Warden across the cave which is not an uncommon situation at all. Yeah Hipster is a bit better when you come across Omen or a random Dreadnought swarm and your team is full of greenbeards who die instantly but how often does that happen?

An important part that is overlooked is that hipster does what base M1000 does. What I mean is that with hipster, you can maximize chances of hitting an enemy with more shots. You touch on that when you talk about "shoot it again." I kinda want the Scouts AR to get an ammo buff across the board. The AR's strength is shooting again, really fast. Whenever I mod for rate of fire, I run out of ammo faster, often at inconvenient times. I'm on controller, so that ability to have controlled shots on M1000 helps ammo efficiency. This video made me wonder what other reasons I would take hipster over any AR build.

IMO where hipster truly shines is when you are a casual player cruising around random lobbies. Whether your driller is rocking with goo bomber special and fully automatic subata or engie with turret arc and plastcrete catalyst. It doesn’t matter if they are goofing around having fun or they are truly green beards. A scout with a hipster is always the anchor for the team. You can manage anything, stomp every mission type and be the so called “carry” on the team. I’m not a haz 6x2 player or what. I know nothing about the shortcomings of hipster in higher difficulties, but in the content where I truly enjoys, hipster is just the most handy and comfortable option for me. I can see the point of hipster is not as “op” as people hyped it up to but I don’t think it is nothing or perhaps worse than that.

@Fightersword
@Fightersword 10 месяцев назад
I feel like a lot of this community disagreement probably does revolve around the necessity of role progression in particular. If I’m loading into a modded difficulty with several other skilled players you’re coordinating with, and we all know what we need to be doing, then yeah one could say scout’s grunt clear is notably less relevant, and that he really needs to focus on the HVTs while other dwarves do what they are best at, so maximizing even the minutiae on picks on enemies like Tri-jaws is important and notably valuable. You touch on that when you comment shortly on modded difficulties. In such a case the driller for example is going to be good enough with sticky flames or whatever to clear the grunt lion share out, and the scout can provide a lot of value shooting those HVTs in particular (as there’s a lot of them to go around). Whereas in contrast, if I load into a random haz 5 game with players who aren’t role compressing in that same way and may not be as good, something like hipster shines in scenarios where you have to be good at multiple things to save the rest of the team or to pick up their slack, or just for shooting down myriad threats in solo. Hope this doesn’t cause some long term beef. Obviously Waste took a humorous shot across the bow in his video, and there’s some of that in response here, and it seemed to upset him. It just sounds like some back and forth shots across the bow to me, but it seems like Waste took it harder than that (maybe he saw it as harsher than I did or I just didn’t catch on to the extent others may have).

Genuine question, though: why couldn't I apply modded gameplay to vanilla? Why would it be less valuable to one-shot HVT because it's Haz 5? Why should optimization be considered an antithesis of fun?
@Fightersword
@Fightersword 10 месяцев назад
​@@That_Goddamn_Scout Certainly, if you're running a top tier, skilled team and you all hyper specialize into your roles haz 5, it would still be as strong as you could be, though the benefits of this are less relevant in haz 5 because haz 5 doesn't come close to requiring that level of strength emphasis. Generalist setups are more useful within haz 5 if you're running with less skilled players, i.e. randoms or just casual friends, or within solos, as they allow you to more easily pick up their slack/handle multiple kinds of problems, and the loss you take from not role compressing isn't very relevant. Building for the latter therefore makes more sense if you're just playing haz 5 casually with less skilled friends, in solos, or with random players. If that's not the environment you typically play within, then generalism would be less useful to you. I personally don't find hipster to be the be all end all and tend to enjoy generalist blowthrough builds for haz 5 more on M1k, though I did find Waste's take on Hipster to be unfair outside of modded. I also didn't even comment on the fun factor. Which setup is more fun for you is up to you, and deciding to run something more optimized towards Scout's niche or whoever's niche on Haz 5 is very very far from a dealbreaker, so just run whatever you want.

The logic behind it is sound, fire bolts are for crowds of bugs/temp shocking with cryo nades, whatever else. And the taser bolts are for slowing down big single targets like dreadnoughts, praetorians bulks or oppressors. They also work for area denial when doing something like a salvage op too. Combined with hipster it is one of the best generalist loadouts you can have as Scout.
@That_Goddamn_Scout
@That_Goddamn_Scout 10 месяцев назад
This entire waste vs Axis fiasco could've been resolved easily if both parties actually talked to each other and came to an agreement that the difference in their respective playstyles makes all argumentation null and void. Hipster is a generalist, in a game where completing a mission on the highest difficulty is far from hard. So, if anything, it's adequately powerful in that context. I do have a question though: why prepare for exceptions? You can ignore a korlok, you can ignore an OMEN. And, in the context of M1K, there is very little the gun is not good at (Hipster or not), so while this OC exacerbates the generalist side of M1K (in a more hipfirey way), it's not by any means the end-all be-all of M1K overclocks. It's just good. That's it.

The goal of speedplay (or anything outside of modded tbh) is to try and complete every objective - optional or not - inside a mission as fast as possible.

@@mrROAR104 I already run damage and armor break on hipster. I take the faster reload after kill instead of stun on all of my builds as I find it much more useful. I used to run stun all of the time, but I found that stunning praetorians and menaces can make it difficult to finish killing them if you arent fast enough and I would much prefer a faster reload. As for focus shot, I think it is terrible on hipster. You blow through your magazine so fast with hipster and reducing that greatly hampers my ability to put out sustained dps. Also a little bit extra focus shot damage doesn’t matter much when you can shoot immediately after shooting a charged shot.

@madkirby823 3 месяца назад
I agree to many points in the video. Mostly that Hipster is very safe generalist OC that will be fit for every mission/situation because there is nothing more bullets can't fix. However, something overlooked about focus shots is that they are always 100% accurate. Sprinting especially fucks up M1000 accuracy, more than Hipster can make up. So a lot of the shots at bigger distances can either miss entirely or at least miss a weakpoint that considerably increases dmg/dps. E.g. it will be much easier to land 2 charge shots to kill a Spitballer or a Menace with SC before it even has time to react. Than spam entire magazine of Hipster to only maybe kill it. Another overlooked fact is ammo efficiency vs breakpoints. Hipster is considered "op" with how much more ammo it gives, but paper≠reality. Since it takes 1 more shot to kill a grunt (most common enemy), you are actively spending more ammo per every grunt you kill. And also waste larger part of clip size leading to more reloading. So the real benefit is smaller than it may seem. Especially considering you can take ammo+blowthrough on stock M1000 and still maintian onetap in head. Lastly, this may be VERY specific, but some enemies have breakable weakpoints. Meaning they benefit more from weapons that overpenetrate and gain full damage boost. Than weapons that break the weakpoint immediately with lots of small damage instances. E.g. extreme example, there exists a build for M1000 SC that lets you oneclip haz5 4 player bulk (6000hp) in one clip using IFG. Each shot deals 1201 damage and barely doesnt break blisters in one shot. It is effectively the fastest and most ammo efficient way to kill a bulk (apart from leadburster lmao, that one is broken). But as you said, every specific scenario will always have that one build which is better in that specific scenario. Hipster excels in being versatile and not caring about what you encounter and still being good enough.

Fantastic points! Personally, I feel like hipster is fine, not overpowered, because a big part of how I look at builds is 'versatility'. Notably, not combat versatility, which is what you discussed for most of the video. Instead, what I look for (and enjoy) the most in overclocks is *build* versatility, where I consider how many builds said weapon/overclock/upgrade can fit in, and especially *meaningfully synergize with*. There definitely was a point where I played hipster (and thought I always would) and enjoyed its general power, but at the stage of the game I am, hipster is unfortunately boring because, as you've stated, your primary solution to nearly any situation is simply "open fire until it stops moving". As for how I address combat versatility? Simple. I look at the *build*, not the weapon, to see how effective it is across a wide spread of situations. Carpet bomber doesn't have the HVT capabilities I need? Good thing BRT packs enough ammo to spare for situations I'm not expecting, or if need be, power picks can help make up the difference, 4 ammo at a time. Finding solutions for builds like these to *make* them work in every possible situation is one of the few things I still enjoy about the game, and it also keeps me on my toes, learning new builds, playstyles, and seeing how they perform in a wide variety of situations. 15:58 (I was gonna delete this tangent about nuances I've noticed in combat versatility but since you asked, you get the full essay this time ;D) Part of the reason why Hipster is so good is because the only versatility it lacks, one of player position (and even then, only slightly), is completely covered by the class it's on. Hipster loses a lot of effectiveness when it lacks any weakspots to hit, or in very close quarters where you can't afford to fully unload without dying. Fortunately, a large portion of scout's kit is geared around circumventing this, with cryo creating damage multipliers when there aren't any reachable ones left on the target, and the flare gun and grapple ensuring you're never caught unawares and you always have a way out of any corners you might find yourself caught in. Gunner's minigun has the raw sustained output (usually) to not have to reposition to hit weakpoints consistently or need damage multipliers to outgun a horde, but against HVTs whose only counter is movement? Gunner is stuck relying on Dash, a well-placed zipline, or the catch-all shield to buy enough time to get things back under control. Part of why I've played a lot of engineer lately is due to his weapons playing heavily with these limitations, where his weapons are all extremely versatile in one or two aspects (PGL for enemy distance and amount, BC for enemy weight class, Stubby and Loki for range where warthog ignores damage typing), while still having significant weaknesses (usually what you choose between, as well as ammo in general, due to none of the weapons having enough sustain for a whole swarm barring one or two exceptions). This lets me craft a build where I have weapons intricately weaved together, to counter either enemy weight class, amount, or even positioning, with my favorite build (yes, ECR+VIR+shredders and twin turrets) resulting in a full arsenal of weapons that all cover each other's weaknesses without leaving me dry. Also, regarding class roles in combat: while I definitely agree that the mindset of limiting yourself to only one role is detrimental, when it comes to prioritizing what you do first, it's definitely worth remembering that scout *can* fight bugs effectively, it's definitely more time-efficient to have scout spend five seconds mining than a whole minute fighting, and vice versa for gunner (driller and engi get more leniency due to having more versatility overall). In a situation where both bugs and minerals exist, it's more efficient for classes to focus on their specialties when they can, but that obviously doesn't mean that scout should be ignoring the spitballer or leech or prespawned grunts reaching for them if engineer or gunner (or long-range driller, I won't judge) don't pop them immediately.

​@@boydquinoaThis. Haz 6 slapped me across the face, hard. Vanilla DRG promotes questionable gameplay habits that only become more obvious as you experiment with higher (and arguably better crafted) difficulties

There's no reason to laugh at that. This will just continue the toxicity of the discussion going on. Modded imo challenges players more but in different ways. But laughing at Haz 5 speedplay still is not a great look.

I think a cool video to do would be to play a mission with electrifying reload bc it seems really cool but i don’t know how to play it well so seeing you try could help me a lot

The reason hipster sucks is because it prevents you from taking the actual best overclock : Hoverlock

I have about 400 hours into the game now, joined during season 4. I have actively avoided playing only one class: Scout. I felt that the "best way to play scout" of doing nothing but running away from grunts and shooting acid spitters and mactera or whatever sounded miserable. Maybe I should try scout. EDIT: Shitty attitude is a bummer, but otherwise I can really appreciate the opinion that players should just fucking shoot things and do everything they can to be helpful

I think people should let people play how they want in general. Hipster definitely has potential.

I do agree with a ton of this, but my gas recycling + aise dread build is one of the most fun and effective ones I've got, I will not stand for this anti dread aise slander

It´s funny how people think about stuff you do when "sniping", despite equipping an overclock, that essentially turns it into a better Subata (I love Subata)

I pick every scout OC option on blanks and promotions and forge. I even save scum to enhance the chances. If it would drop, I'd understand what you're even talking about. Soon.

i strugled to figure out my scout build all the way to late gold promotion. Every build felt bad against certain enemies and when all my teammates die i felt like i couldnt do anything. Than i unlocked hipster (the LAST weapon oc i unlocked :C), never toke it off since

I play solo a lot, as well as PuG. And my friends are frankly not all that good at DRG, even compared to me(cuz they'd rather play Valheim or Civ 5 or whatever). So i see a lot of value in being a hipster scout.

I have about 100 hrs in this game and i have done all my missions on haz 4 and haz 5 and completed multiple elite deep dives and i’d like for someone more experienced to tell me why people argue so much about builds in this game when i honestly feel like the margin of error is really not that small.

You're right. The game isn't hard enough to warrant discussions/arguments about a hypothetical meta. Yet some people, myself included, know that despite DRG balance being questionable, there are options that are clearly better when you want to optimize your gameplay. And this, when confronted to more casual players opinions, tends to spark heated arguments, depending on how each party's opinion is presented. In that case, Axis comes off as passive agressive towards people he calls "spreadsheet warriors".

I just use hipster because it allows me to keep speed and also the charge shot on hipster has a weird screen shake/movement that makes it annoying to look at and shoot with. Also rapid fire go brrr
