    Retcons I'd make to the Swarm to make them more interesting.

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 03:15 PM PST

    A list that nobody asked for is here. Thank you, thank you hold your applause until the end of the thread.

    When GoW 4 was first announced I was very excited to see what brand new enemy would be plaguing Sera this era. We basically just got the Locust but redder and with more exposed abs. Now there are many problems with the Swarm IMO. They NEED humans to reproduce which makes their weirdly high numbers confusing, they literally don't even have a name other then Swarm, they basically have no motivation for waging war, how did the Scions get out of their mounds that are said to be stronger the diamond, how are the Brumacks alive if GoW5 makes it clear that only Drones lived, how the flying fuck did the Swarm realize they could "pod" humans to reproduce and them being direct descendants of the locusts ruins many aspects of the past titles, such as all of Gow3. I think it'd be better to do several things. I want to fix all of these problems in one thread and do so in a way that the games can still be see as canon, we just are going to have to assume that the COG kids are stupid for assuming the previous things about the Swarm and that Niles is just a locust hype man.

    Part 1: Conception and Initial Locust Distance: After Adam fired the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon there was an unforeseen consequence. One of the native species of Sera that survived the hammer strikes was of course hit by it's radioactive waves and their bodies had a bizarre reaction, on one not even Adam could expect. The combination of the hammer strikes and the ICW altered this species bodies greatly, rushing them through many forms of random evolution, the fastest ever seen. Within 20 years this species had forged their own tribal society far from the limits of the human borders. Carriers are the Swarm's females who've obtained a type of "royal' jelly" like bees. They give birth to massive broods of what we know as drones, who undergo an extremely fast maturing stage of about a year. The hunters are still females but just lack their transformation juice. Hive Beasts are a sort of Apex mother, a Queen Carrier who've eaten entire biomes worth of mass gaining epic in size, obviously very few exist. During the biological tornado the Swarm experienced between Gow 3 and 4 they made an important discover about their species, they could assimilate other species and turn them into alternate versions of themselves. With a simple injection into a pod could they make a biological memory of the species while also retaining all of that species knowledge. This lead to them creating the Pounces, Flocks, Snatchers, whatever TC wants to give them and eventually the Kraken. This ability would also lead to the Swarm accidentally being absorbed into the Locust hivemind.

    Part 2 : Motives and Locust Connection: The Swarm being the little runts they are, are a simple folk, but curiosity began to eat at them. Why did they see so much destruction on their planet. The countless dead that they surely never hunted, the bottomless caverns underground and the ancient cites that had no one in their streets. The Swarm's trek across the ruins of Sera lead them to the Locusts burial mounds. Seeing the multitude of the dead shocked and intrigued the Swarm. With a simple touch of the dead locusts crystals they got a deep biological understanding of them allowing the Swarm to work the crystals off the bodies and like all the other species before the Locust, the swarm began using the corpses to add into their own species diversity and here they discovered the Locust hivemind. Suddenly those whose biology that was altered by the Locusts could see the horrors of war and their memories of the humans. Nightmares of skyfire, lambent lightmass bombs and finally the activation of the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon, even crazier so was that many of the swarm youth had such vivid images of this war that they believed they were the locusts whose minds they were made of. Invigorated with purpose these Swarm returned to their kin with knowledge of how to operate weapons, to truly tame beasts and of the danger that humanity pose. These Swarm would become the Scions riding atop powerful new locust infused forms like the Swarmak hoping to find humanity, assimilate them and to end any chances of what happened to the Locust to ever affect them

    Part 3: The Lights: Preparing for war for five grueling years, growing in numbers and resources. The species that survived countless generations of war in the background of history had been unintentionally molded by the humans. They now called themselves the Swarm for their previously thought inconceivable numbers. As they prepared for war their locust infused minds had echoes from an unknown entity that only spoke of their queen. Something more precious then life itself was this queen, their minds demanded it be theirs. When the Swarm began assimilation of outsider creating villages, three people flashed in their minds, like stars in the night's sky. They knew that had to obtain this family and they knew they couldn't assimilate them like the rest, they were far beyond special.

    So yeah that's all I got. Applause?

    What's the general consensus on Marcus in Escape?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 09:10 AM PST

    I figured he was trash-tier but maybe I'm missing something

    let's review:

    • two damage resist cards which are alright but useless for higher difficulties
    • two cards that apply to all rifles in the game (Extended Mag and Rifle Feedback)
    • three lancer specific cards that, if changed to all rifles (or executions for brutal efficiency) would help him out immensely
    • two stim cards, one being locked to his ultimate when lizzie has a similar card that works for all damage and is far superior
    • this leaves us with Friendlier Fire (okay) and Last Ditch (why?) and the two score cards

    I'm not really seeing any good options other than using Living Legend around Mac and using a claw to keep it going.

    Dear lvl 1 Kait in high difficulty horde, choose someone else when there’s a lvl 18 in lobby

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 02:20 PM PST

    You shouldn't be there in the first place, but if you want to piggy back, please pick someone else so the whole team isn't fucked. Why does this even have to be said?

    Edit - I am referring to insane, inconceivable, and master. If you don't have the level locked cards at respectable levels, you are already a detriment to the team, but to take away a max DPS carry at those levels is a great way to ensure a loss. It also guarantees that most of the lobby will probably quit at launch.

    Why are people weird about getting into the same decontamination room together?

    Posted: 25 Dec 2019 05:38 AM PST

    About 80% of the time I try to get into a decontamination room with another player they run out and go to another. You get an achievement if all the players get in the same one, but most people leave and get in their own.

    "Comparing skill ratings", "Identifying potential players", "Evaluating match quality". These all mean nothing.
