Tacticus VoxCast - Machines of War [with Draupnir]

With the Skulls 2024 event and recent Nandi interview, we got some more data on the newest addition to the game- the Machines of War! How fun do they look? What promises and problems can they offer to us in the future? What Machines can we expect in the future? All of this and even more (with memes as a bonus!) in today's episode, where Draupnir and Fred will ramble about the topic for over an hour. Good luck!

It was very enjoyable to have this discussion with you!

[@TechPriestFred]

Oh, absolutely!

Alright these 2 in a collab let's go!!

You could have discussed the suppression effect on the rocket launcher. Technically its an extra way to get another counter to Neuroparasite. Unfortunately, its the active ability, but I guess you get some free ammo daily or something and F2P players would use them on the raid bosses where Neurothrope shines

[@TechPriestFred]

While a valid point, I think that it being hidden behind Munitions in order to contribute more makes the strategy useless for normal players (unless we get good free munitions regen)

[@egilsvidenieks638]

@@TechPriestFred realistically, how many ammo would we need attacking a boss for parasite counter. the active has also a first move cooldown so roughly 2-3 shots per run and with the raid ticket cooldowns we might need approx. 5 shots per day. considering we can horde up to 200 ammo per event, assuming there will be no other way to get the ammo except paid creates between events, we would realistically last 40 days of active F2P raiding with minimal consumption and using the actives only in the raids as needed. and that will roughly last us 6-ish weeks. If I am not mistaken, the events were announced to coming back every 5 weeks, right? I think if we max out our stock of ammo on every event and use it sparingly on one game mode alone, F2P players could potentially utilize the consumable ammo as a reliable source of damage or utility. Please do tell me your thoughts on this, I might be oversimplifying the math here a bit.

@@egilsvidenieks638 Can't really do some proper math myself since I don't have the creator status yet and don't know anything more than you, but I think that supposing to get 200 munitions every event is a little bit too wishful thinking. We just have to wait and see the numbers- if they are even close to what you calculated, it's great news for the health and diversity of the game. If they aren't close to this amount and you'd use a munitions once per 2 or 3 days between the events, it's kinda sad. We'll see!

[@egilsvidenieks638]

@@TechPriestFred thank you for replying. I assume we could potentially get 200 ammo per event as the devs in Nandi's interview did point out the possibility that every peace past 200 is just wasted, if I remember correctly. This to me implied that they are warning us to keep track to not horde too much of it and anctually use it. So I am hopeful that F2P with some grind can get enough to last us for the time in between the events.
