I'm down to run a few in about 30 minutes, so y'all enjoy a mission without me

#

is this perk good for this staff? it looks good xD

brave kestrel

that is very good for voidstrike

#

No worries

#

I have time tomorrow

#

We got about 30-40% in so there’s room for improvement

limpid zinc
#

im hitting half on pugs so i can only assume a premade will have me over the hurdle first try

cyan depot
#

Half like one of them to half hp or what?

#

Or like killing one

limpid zinc
#

both to half, because pug cohesion is not great

cyan depot
#

Yeah mood

limpid zinc
#

am i nuts or has auric kinda gotten easier lately

#

im guessing either the hype died down a little and only sweatlords are left OR the boss fight has forged us. honed our edge.

tough compass
#

Maybe everyone got better

limpid zinc
#

maybe i just got better lol

cloud hazel
#

the last dauric shield and I ran was whisper clean

#

insanely smooth

brave kestrel
#

I feel like the boss fight has made those who seek higher difficulty stuff better

at least a bit

spice lotus
#

so is the twins mission generally considered more difficult than standard missions of same threat level?

drowsy vine
#

The base difficulty is pretty straightforward

#

Hard Mode is brutal shit

spice lotus
#

aka will my character i'm generally running pub games fine in malice have difficulty queueing up in pub lobbies doing that mission

brave kestrel
#

Hard Mode is utterly brutal

but regular is fine

spice lotus
#

ah ok

cloud hazel
#

hard mode is nasty

distant surge
#

yes

cyan depot
#

I think normal auric has been downtuned a little

#

Or maybe they just made the enemy director stop manifesting guys like 1 meter behind the player

distant surge
#

i wanna try more Malestrom today vicksyAww

blissful sparrow
#

that happened to be the same mission where we experienced a dreg shotgunner clown car in realtime, single man walked around the corner and then split into like 8 dudes all blastin

#

the director is silly sometimes

native roost
#

That was a cursed game

cyan depot

That’s pretty amazing

It surprises me how funny darktide can be

A Bomber pops out from a corner and states,"Did someone call for a BOOM?"
And cue a rock flying from off camera to nail the poor lad and ragdoll him off a railing into the abyss

distant surge
#

Bombers are very passionate about their job

#

unlike snipers

#

how many snipers have you found at meele range

blissful sparrow
#

more than youd think, and still not enough

cyan depot
#

It’s really funny every time it happens

#

Either because you catch them off guard and clown on them

#

Or because they were hiding behind a doorway and quickscoped you in the butt

Anyone wanna do some Auric stuff?

#

Don't feel like doing it with randoms, personally

#

Oohhh Limbsplitter is interesting

#

Might be good for gun lugging

spiral badger
#

alas limbsplitter is never good

#

because what it doesn't tell you is that 4 seconds doesn't start counting until you stop attacking

#

and is reset every time you attack

#

so you only get it once per fight basically

#

it would actually be pretty decent if it just gave you a power boost on a timer but it doesn't

#

at least that's how it works on axes. I suppose you should test it on shovel in the psykanium and see if that's also the case, but generally they're not different weapon to weapon like that

marsh gyro
#

It works the same on shovel

It's better on the foldable shovel because you can fold and bonk it good in 3.5s

spiral badger
#

yeah on folding shovel it works, but I still favor thrust and brutal momentum because they're more controllable

blissful sparrow
#

i have joined the ranks of the Hardmode Clearers

cyan depot
#

nice

blissful sparrow
#

very much looking forward to more content like this, it rules

opaque crown
#

Gonna be hard to get my crew together often enough to do it during holidays sadly, but we have it in our ambitions

cyan depot
#

I wanna take another swing at it tomorrow

#

I've been having trouble choosing between chant and stealth for my zealot for it

spiral badger
#

i think chant is superior to have on zealot

#

specifically because it stuns the bosses through their shields if you're close

opaque crown
#

I think another important thing is that chant doesn't pass aggro to someone who isn't expecting it

cyan depot
#

Especially because sainted gunslinger has been way better for me than the stuff I get going for stealth

#

Though the near guaranteed rezzes are nice

limpid zinc
#

i just keep using charge lol

cyan depot
#

charge is great

limpid zinc
#

charge is so good its nuts

#

stun, free crit, toughness replenishment, and a fast enough CD w/ reduction to have it basically any time

cyan depot
#

yeah its solid

#

For the twins I like chant because it buys allies breathing room for rezzes or reloads or whatever and I get pretty good uptime on it

#

Stealth has good boss damage and lets me shed aggro, though honestly that last part is a very two edged sword

limpid zinc
#

ive been frustrated before when duo carrying by the other person dumping all aggro on me lmfao

#

"ill get the rez!" motherfucker get back here....

cyan depot
#

yeah I had that feeling some as psyker

#

I had a run with multiple stealth people any any time they both went ghost I was just like

limpid zinc
distant surge
#

dawn totem
#

Getting to the point where I want to write out backstories for my characters and have art commissions made.

#

I find myself grabbing cosmetics less because they look cool and more cause they tell a story.

marsh gyro
#

A good backstory for a blorbo is the best part of create a character systems

distant surge
#

what's a good story for Saint Borkestine

#

i feel like i would just get hanged

limpid zinc
#

can't wait to hit the 500k achievement for round 2 on this meme

dawn totem
opaque crown
#

The one time I'm generally ok getting aggro dunked is as my ogryn

#

Because I can kinda handle it

#

I'm uncertain yet if I like the shovel on my full melee ogryn, but the ability to actually kill crushers fast is very persuasive

#

Just that the big knife is so much faster

marsh gyro
#

Cleavers are blenders at full attack speed buff yeah

#

I use the shovels on gun ogryns that use the guns for things the cleavers would do on melee ogryns

alpine needle
#
cyan depot
#

Fixed an issue that prevented Zealot Shroudfield combat ability from entering cooldown when sprinting and activating the ability at the same time.

#

Oh so that’s what that was

dawn totem
#

What are some solid perks for the Thunder Hammer?

opaque crown
#

thrust is a bit obvious, I think hammerblow can be good too

marsh gyro
#

Thrust can be awkward to use when everything's running around in a horde but wowie zowie does it bonk good

opaque crown
#

Slaughterer can be good for general purpose

#

goes great into an ironhelm

#

Headtaker is also good i think, for general purpose

dawn totem
#

I've got lvl 3 Thrust and Trauma.

marsh gyro
#

I do like the impact and hit mass blessings myself even though power blessings are probably easier to use

opaque crown
#

i like impact a lot

#

mostly cause a knocked down enemy is a managed enemy

marsh gyro
#

With thrust you can watch the buff tick up to 3 and that's when you release the heavy

dawn totem
#

Okay. I'm really getting into Zealot and I'm looking at a Thunder Hammer that plays to my style.

opaque crown
#

do you like bonking individual big things real good

#

or do you want to bonk things through a crowd

dawn totem
#

Ooo good question...

opaque crown
#

Crucis has sweep heavies, saved the charge up to kill important enemies; ironhelm has mixed heavies and lights, and its charge up is weaker but swings through chaff before impacting on heavier enemies

#

I would say the ironhelm is, imo, a better general purpose pick if you like charging up the hammer

#

crucis is the king of single taget, single hit nuking

#

and its sweeping heavies mean its no slouch against crowds either

#

you just wont but using powered up attacks

dawn totem
opaque crown
#

Crucis obliterates just about anything tbh

#

with the right build

marsh gyro
#

I'd say Ironhelm wants Thrust blessing more than Crucis

dawn totem
#

I'll stick with my Crucius but I'll be looking for one that builds up and damaging over impact and charging.

opaque crown
#

definitely worth giving them both a fair go and seeing what you like imo

#

they're both good

gentle flame
#

<@&1042950387478560878> I'll boot up darktide if other people want to play

#

Down for anything tbh

brave kestrel
#

gotta get a group together for some hardmode runs at some point

still chasing that achievement

cyan depot
#

I'm down this evening

#

I get off work in ~3 hours

pallid tinsel
#

any of the new kit they added worth crafting?

brave kestrel
#

revolver is good, ogryn shovel is good, eviscerator and chainaxe are good

heard mixed things about the new chainsword and the vet shovels

marsh gyro
#

The Vet shovels rule

limpid zinc
#

New knife is excellent

#

New chainsword is good, don't rly get the hate

drowsy vine
#

New Chainsword is basically a big knife

#

It'll still do work

limpid zinc
#

Both chainswords have slightly weird movesets in terms of mixing vanguard/strike downs in both chains

#

But both also do enough damage that it's not a big hurdle

#

Like both will do plenty of work even with click spam and both have the same answer to anything big and nasty which is rev, heavy

#

Both even do basically the same amount of damage for rev heavies lol

opaque crown
#

What's the like, major difference between the two?

#

Speed/ damage ratio?

limpid zinc
#

attack chains and first hit bonuses

#

the new one would be better for single target damage, the old one would have better horde clear

#

one of the major differences between marks on melee weapons is whether the vanguard, horde clear strikes come on the light or heavy chain, though both chainswords are among the niche of weapons that mix it up on either chain

#

if a weapon has its horde clear on lights, it usually has single target strikes on heavies, and will do more single target damage per time

#

if it has its horde clear on heavies, then you can charge the heavies up to get more cleave, and more cleave means more horde clearing

#

the old chainsword, if u notice, has a straightforward horde clear pattern by chaining heavies

#

so you can fairly mindlessly rip hordes apart while still getting appreciable single target

#

the zelly's eviscerators are kind of the opposite; the new eviscerator has horizontals on light and verticals on heavies, so you lightspam at the horde and heavyspam at the crusher

#

the old one has mixups, but generally puts its vanguard/horizontal/horde clearing attacks on heavies

#

subsequently a well charged heavy on the old evi will mulch infinity poxwalkers while the lightspamming new eviscerator cleaves a half dozen or so before getting "stuck"

was playing with friends on malice, felt harder than usual

#

damnation has been a shitshow

jovial shuttle
#

As someone who really wanna get into the game
Is it stressful on the hardware? Cause i remember playing the beta and getting severe fps drops in some areas

#

Mind you i got a gtx1060, so lower quality graphic is expected

white portal
#

It has smoothed put a bit on the requirements, it was pretty bad early on, but I'm not sure how that hardware would hold up

jovial shuttle
#

Mh, it's understandable considering the fossil i have as gpu, maybe the sdd can smooth it down a bit

limpid zinc
#

1060 beats the minimum reqs so

played with 2 other psykers in rando, we ended up all being shreik/purgatus/headpop builds

#

actually worked real well

#

surprisingly

#

instrumental to our success was picking different head pop targets

#

meant enemy shooters dropped appreciably quick

tough compass
#

Lots of flamers clearing out hordes really helps with dealing with everything else

limpid zinc
distant surge
#

you can't stop me from pinging you in my mind

#

there i just did it!

#

gonna do it again vicksySmug

limpid zinc
#

first time ive seen mostly ranged as a modifier instead of melee

#

i think id rather brick a 380 at hadron than fight 99999999 gunners tho im ngl

distant surge
#

wanna try that?

#

i'm down for a good old maelstrom

limpid zinc
#

nah

distant surge
#

vicksySmug i'll go stealth vet and shank em all in their kidneys

limpid zinc
#

I hopped into a different one already

distant surge
#

oh wait

#

ventilation purge

#

no thank you

#

what do you mena only 45k for that?!

#

i've done easier maelstroms for like 20k more than that

#

Cyan knows Cyan was there vicksyHeck

opaque crown
#

i feel like "all shooters" is me going "I'm going to take a nap behind my shield, kill the ones that come at me when they get fed up"

distant surge
#

didn't think of that

#

are they also affected by low visibility?

#

i know they are in lights out

opaque crown
#

oh nah, their goggles actually work

limpid zinc
#

i dont think lights out affects them either tbh

jovial shuttle
distant surge
#

in that case the maelstrom should be called "bring your ogryn to work day"

#

if you get a spotter vet too i feel like you won't have a lot of issues

opaque crown
#

spotter is so nice on lites out

limpid zinc
#

even as a nonvet i just rhythmically ping into the darkness for lights out & vent purge

#

dont rly know why it generated so much salt to get removed from the standard roto

limpid zinc
cyan depot
#

I know someone who played with a 1060 and it was fine

#

Lower graphics ofc but the game is pretty on low spec anyway

limpid zinc
#

i play with a 1660 and it isnt my bottleneck at least

#

the only thing i dont love about low graphics is how chunky the models gets when the game downgrades them for hordes lol

cyan depot
#

Yeah the lod number is really one to avoid turning down if possible

jovial shuttle
#

mh, maybe dynamic resolution is an option

limpid zinc
#

i will say that sometimes i see high spec footage and its like

#

telenova tier

jovial shuttle
#

that aside if most of it is covered it will be just the usual shadow and such off

limpid zinc
#

theres also potatomode mods fwiw

#

you can make it pretty performant and. ugly.

jovial shuttle
distant surge
#

make it look like half life 1 vicksySmug

limpid zinc
#

the cinematic standard is 24fps so the high frames and smooth motions associated with telenovae look strange to most english language viewers

jovial shuttle
#

ah all clear, well
considering how dark it is even lowering the shadow quality will surely be helpful

opaque crown
#

i still think lights out is the true darktide experience

#

ogryn just needs a flashlight

#

that and i think there needs to be different light types

#

like the regular flickery flashlight

#

maybe a lower intensity, aoe, lantern

tough compass
#

Just give everyone head lamps

cyan depot
#

Everyone does have headlamps they just use candles or some shit

#

Cause they’re very dim

tough compass
#

I don't think choosing a weapon based on lighting is terribly interesting (and you can't do it if you get quick played into one)

cyan depot
#

There are actually different flashlights which work differently but most of them can only be gotten with the weapon customization mod

cyan depot
#

I don’t think you need a weapon with a flashlight for lights out

tough compass
#

It's true

cyan depot
#

Though shorter ranged less precise ones are better

tough compass
#

maybe they should just remove flashlights altogether

limpid zinc
cyan depot
#

Aiui those do actually provide a tiny bit of light

#

But it only really helps you see faces at knife range because of how Darktide renders mobile lights

opaque crown
#

while i agree choosing from a restricted weapon set isn't necessarily super interesting, i think the darkness condition and the atmosphere it creates are. Which is kinda why i think many weapons shuold just get various light sources taped to them in lights out, and not all of them being made equal

#

i do also think, as im a glutton for punishment, that flashlights should occassionally flicker and die on their own, making you turn them back on

tough compass
#

I would support light flickering/turning off in limited circumstances, like if there was a demonic entity whose materialization was announced by that

opaque crown
#

i just like it as a "these things are salvaged, faulty things" with the downside just being as light as toggling it back on meaning to me, it happening kind of randomly would be fine

#

we're not the blood ravens out here, with master crafted weapons stolen gifted from the generous armories of other chapters and even the custodes

#

we're rejects, salvaging effective weaponry from trash heaps

#

maybe ill see if my group wants to go looking for some lights out missions

#

oh also, flamers and psyker flames look spectacular in the dark

jovial shuttle
#

one tad bit of lore i remember from the guards, is that when you get into the guard they give you a flak armour, a "standard issue torchlight" which is the Lasgun, and the guard manual, to probably warm yourself up with, cause nobody reads the manual

tough compass
#

I know it's a common trope. But I find it a bit silly how shitty video game flashlights are

jovial shuttle
#

the lasgun is genuinly considered the worst weapon lore wise, getting called a torchlight instead of a real gun

#

so that's technically a source of light

tough compass
#

And having a functional plasma gun or power sword but a dysfunctional flashlight is hard for my suspension of disbelief

tough compass
#

Just really shitty on tabletop and hence the flashlight jokes?

#

(plus a lot of shooting at super tough xenos or heavily armored traitors)

jovial shuttle
#

no they are legit dogwater, as a gun alone
but you usally get in front of tens of thousands so it doesn't really matter

#

the tabletop version is coherent to the lore version

cyan depot
#

Lore-wise they’re pretty strong

jovial shuttle
#

as Lord Castellan Creed said
"whoever thinks a lasgun is useless has never been in front of 10 thousands of them"

cyan depot
#

But thanks to them being S3 ap- nonsense on the tabletop the jokes continue

marsh gyro
#

40k power levels are as consistent as Axe Cop

spiral badger
#

well the issue is that tehy're strong in the sense that they're very effective against other people in flak armor with similar guns

cyan depot
#

But lore wise it’s basically a full to high power rifle with a deep as hell magazine which you pretty much cannot mistreat enough to get it to fail to cycle

spiral badger
#

the problem is that tehy're constantly being compared to the weapons of demigods in power armor

cyan depot
#

And you can recharge the ammo packs with outlets and campfires

jovial shuttle
#

but that's the joke, since power level is so insane in 40k, that is considered the worst

limpid zinc
#

they dont even have skulls on them

tough compass
#

The campfire one is particularly ridiculous

limpid zinc
#

of course they suck

cyan depot
spiral badger
#

if you handed a modern logistics dept a lasgun they would shit themselves in joy

jovial shuttle
#

but that's because bolter weapons are so insane, most normal humans cannot operate them

tough compass
#

Yeah, I'm just thinking energy density wise

cyan depot
cyan depot
tough compass
#

Though maybe in 40k, campfires are enormous plasma bonfires

cyan depot
#

I’m pretty sure a lasgun pack has WAY more - yeah

jovial shuttle
#

also, you get guards
and you get Tempestus Scions

#

which sure use a lasgun, a hypercharged version of it

#

but still a lasgun

#

i love how in Assasinorum Kingmaker, a book with various temples assassins in it
the Vindicare (Sniper temple) is disgusted by lasguns, since they do not have bullets in em

opaque crown
#

you can even throw the battery into a fire to recharge them if needed

#

This game really needs a pyrrhic victory screen

limpid zinc

it needs some new victory screen poses....

#

hopefully, free ones

cyan depot
#

I’m actually so stoked I managed to clear hard mode with psyker

#

Even if I was dead at about the same time Rodin went down

#

I had thought psyker was kind of just a “don’t bring this” kind of class for it but I think I managed to credibly help with horde clear

#

Though my boss damage was very low

#

4.5k lmao

spiral badger
#

i've found that psyker has one of two roles

#

either complete focus on crowd control and keeping the floor clear

#

or complete focus on boss damage with max glass cannon gunpsyker

cyan depot
#

I went for the former yeah

spiral badger
#

if you try to split the difference you just wind up not contributing enough to anything

cyan depot
#

Obscurus sword, voidstrike staff, assail, dome

wraith grove
#

Good crowd control is super important for the twins fights

#

The gas sections are so much harder without something like smite, assail or idol

cyan depot
#

Yeah being able to bang off 3-4 darts and follow them down a trail of corpses was great for crossing

#

Which given psyker's horrid sprint damage modifier was the scariest part for me

wraith grove
#

Wait sprint damage?

cyan depot
#

Psyker takes more melee damage when sprinting

#

Vet does as well but its less iirc

wraith grove
#

Ohhhh

cyan depot
#

Ogy and Zealot don't

wraith grove
#

I never knew that

#

And goddamn yah

#

That’s fucking terrifying then

cyan depot
#

Same! I didn't for a really long time but it explained several random deaths haha

wraith grove
#

Especially with how many ragers spawn in that section

#

Also what was everyone else running?

cyan depot
#

Overall we had a charge knife zealot who basically played midfield doing a fair amount of everything

Plasma vet to kill the elites which stream in and kinda... anything else

Myself

Gungryn with some kind of heavy stubber and a big shovel for boss damage

wraith grove
#

Nice

cyan depot
#

Oh and we had the "ammo boxes give grenades" talent and ogryn bomb

distant surge
#

vicksyBork ogrynheimer

cyan depot
#

So we got like 3 nukes off

distant surge
#

as our friend likes to say

drowsy vine
#

like +50% or something

cyan depot
#

I see

limpid zinc
#

as the charge knife zealot I was doing like

#

Shield damage, sprinting over mines, and lobbing grenades at people who went down

#

A little bit of add clear but a whole lot of sprinting

#

And a lot of swapping between twins to get their shields to pop in unison

#

The new knife is very good for this, I found it more helpful than the chain weapons overall

cyan depot
#

oh cool

#

I'd been running a normal chainsword when I was trying it with zealot

limpid zinc
#

Normal chainsword would be good too

#

I found with the evi that sprinting over the mines was a lot dicier, versus with the knife I could trigger them for free

heavy geyser
#

Chain rev attacks shred gun boy's shield

limpid zinc
#

Actually chainsword and evi have pretty similar sprint bonuses I think so idk

#

On evi if you hesitate or get caught up the mines are liable to go up in yr face whereas the knife can queue up a heavy or just turn around and sprint the other direction if adds threatened to stick you

#

The kind of mid evi dodges versus the knife sliding like three miles helps too

cyan depot
#

It's definintely dicey with the chainsword

limpid zinc
#

The knife also empties his shield fast anyway so

#

Punch-light spam at the shield or at either twins head does tons of work

hushed glade
#

I really do think that generalization is REALLY bad for hard mode

#

I think for that you really just want to specialize really hard

limpid zinc
#

I barely touched my revolver

#

Tbh an auto gun of any variety might have been a stronger pick

cyan depot
#

I enjoyed using a braced autogun

spiral badger
#

yeah autogun is the waay to go

#

though when i did it I also completely failed to ever touch my gun

#

too much stabbing to do

limpid zinc
#

i popped off a few shots but there really wasnt the space to reload

wraith grove

#

Listen if anyone dies you're basically fucked

#

already

limpid zinc
#

nah

#

we beat the last twin with two down and had the third go down before rannick stopped talking lol

#

im sure theres a sweatmaster on youtube soloing it by now

hushed glade
#

I mean yes I was there

#

But for the most part if someone died we all died

wraith grove
#

Fair enough

limpid zinc
#

the round we won was the one people went down the latest tho thats true

#

it was also the one where i was able to sit on the medipack the longest

wraith grove
#

Also to unlock hard mode you gotta beat it on damnation then ring the bell at the start of the mission right?

limpid zinc
#

we went through the first two gas waves with almost no damage iirc

limpid zinc
#

me and a friend actually unlocked it on uprising lol

limpid zinc
#

im not actually 100% sure if you gotta do the puzzle AND beat them or just do it once

#

theres a penance related to the puzzle but idr when it unlocked

heavy geyser
#

If you solve the bell puzzle and finish the level you get the penance

#

Regardless of difficulty

#

So you can unlock it on Sedition

What counts as a "Salvo" for a semi-auto weapon. Does "Opening Salvo: +20% Power on Salvo's First shot." apply to every shot on an infantry lasgun?

limpid zinc

alright thats a good pull

tough compass

Nice

limpid zinc

yeah thats not bad at all lmfao

if i fully charge it for the thrust stacks it one shots, no ult required

no fury stacks required either

horde clear is kind of mid tho

marsh gyro

its a lot like the thammer where it does crusher removal super duper good but is so mid at crowd control that the overall utility is not great

thammer fans looking for a change of pace will probably like it tho

also wow i just joined a weird sequence broken carnival mission

i spawned at the very first detpack spot at the beginning of the level with the bot and there were two players deep into the mission already 🤨

also holy shit

i hate hadron sfm

distant surge

i usually upgrade those once

i mean ONE of the ones i want for the relic

then i go all the way, since u get 2 changes

limpid zinc

it was a 21%, i didnt mind rolling thrice but this is three painfully mid perks

compared to the other curios i have it frankly isnt worth the 1% health boost, which would be like. 2 points anyway lol

Sniper resist is decent and you can reroll the others

limpid zinc

two of my zelly curios are nigh godrolled, i do have one with mutant resist which is pretty give or take compared to snipers

it's just that relics are real expensive

vicksyHappy beeg win i'll say

#

just got it as a random drop

#

the main bonus toughness could be a lil higher but i got one of my favorite perks which is the toughness regeneration

#

what are the most wanted perks for relics in you guy's opinion?

#

the ones i go for are combat ability regeneration, toughness regeneration and bonus toughness/hp

spiral badger
#

+gunner resist

#

is my specific advice

blissful sparrow
#

i run 2 hp and 1 toughness trinkets, all 3 have corruption resist and toughness regen, 2 have gunner damage reduction and the last one has sniper damage reduction

spiral badger
#

nothing will save you from bad situations more than being able to suck up getting shot a bunch by gunners

blissful sparrow
#

so yeah +1 to gunner resist

distant surge
#

vicksyAww i'm usually flanking them by going invisible so i didn't see a lot of need in gunner resistance(with my veteran), but i could see it being really good for my zelly

blissful sparrow
#

oh yeah i should mention im ogryn

#

so strays tend to find me like magnets haha

#

i have no idea what's "optimal" but this setup is comfy

distant surge
#

something else people say is good is sniper resistance but i rarely get him by them vicksyThink since i'm usually the one that deals with them

#

but that's something else that i feel like ogryn players would make a lot of use out of

#

vicksyBork in a party with a buncha ogryns is the one with the rock responsible of dealing with snipers?

white portal

Either rock or just rain out some shots. I used to snipe with the kickback

is that the granade launcher?

I feel like I’ve got a great cadence going on damnation now, but sometimes runs just abruptly end in horrible disaster

#

I suspect that is the normal experience at higher difficulties?

Yeah damnation has the occasional "what the fuck enemy director" where 3 kinds of egregious bullshit happen at once and you die even for very experienced players

pale gyro

you can pay to increase a weapons rating right/

opaque crown
#

up to a point yeah

#

but not their stats

pale gyro
#

I dont want a dogass power sword if I'm gonna be playing in the higher difficulties

#

ah ic

opaque crown
#

so the rating goes up till orange (gold? I'm colorblind), and what you gain is traits and blessings for upgrades

marsh gyro
#

Just slam the Brunt gacha for a 350 or so weapon and upgrade it for the ages

pale gyro
#

I have a 400 plasma gun

#

idk if that's like, good enough

marsh gyro
#

Basically as long as you have two rank 3 blessings you can comfortably do threat 5 damnation

Each difficulty is about 50% more beef than the last so if Malice is easy then cut your teeth on Heresy and once that feels good slam that Damnation

tough compass
#

They only rating that actually means anything is the base rating

#

And that's the sum of all the stats

#

The rest of the rating is arbitrary values given to the different perks and blessings

marsh gyro
#

You can do threat 5 with a grey weapon if you're good and there's enough melk shop goodies and armory goodies you don't have to

#

Just having a plasma gun period and being level 30 should be plenty fine because plasma gun is a great right side weapon specialist gun

Not spacist enough if you ask me 😤

to be fair, i think its almost universal that imperial citizens hate and fear psykers, even psykers of rank are treated with distrust and derision

Reached the point where randos are now speed running and playing just for resources only to hide and avoid damage during the horde climax sections.

#

It's like anything that has even a small grind mechanic, there a type of brain that drills into it for all it's worth.

lusty kelp
#

Are you on heresy? That sounds like heresy.

#

I found heresy much harder to adjust to than damnation.

dawn totem
#

No I'm trying to play Malice. I've been into too many situations in Heresy where randos will blast a head and get clobbered because they didn't care they're in a Shock Troop gauntlet.

opaque crown
#

i find the speed runner randos to be most vexxing

#

then they die on their own and immediately quit

dawn totem
#

I swear I was in a match where we got like three separate speed runners who jumped in, ran off, died, and jumped out.

cyan depot
#

That’s weird

#

I generally place on Damnation these days and don’t run into speedrunners

#

I didn’t even realize that was a thing

dawn totem
#

It probably happens on lower difficulties, though Heresy does require some coherency.

#

Not just speed runners, like resource miners who grab all the bonus scriptures or grimoires and proceed to avoid any conflict.

opaque crown
#

but i still do

dawn totem
#

It's just weird to me because I figure the resource gathering is one aspect of the overall gameplay. You play for the moment to moment of fighting, surviving, co op, etc.

cyan depot

Yeah Heresy is just the horror zone ime

#

Not the hardest but its so inconsistent

dawn totem
#

Maybe I'm getting jaded but it feels like there's a difference between learning the game and ignoring key gameplay elements.

This might also be me being a big ol snob

opaque crown
#

i think its just tht some people want to go for volume rather than quality

#

if they get through the match fast, they can get on the next and more exp and more stuff, even if its less stuff per mission

#

its actually a lower efficiency approach

#

but can help with being in a flow state

dawn totem
#

Which is just... why not enjoy the game?

#

Or is fun just "not efficient," for that mindset?

opaque crown
#

i mean, in the end, they're trying to have fun in the way that works for them

#

its just incredibly annoying to other people they get matched with

dawn totem
#

Yeah I suppose. Any further and I'm going to get into that poisonous, "you're not having fun right," mentality.

heavy geyser
#

The scoreboard mod has done a lot of damage to people's priorities and sense of teamwork

#

Fatshark was wise to not make it a standard feature

dawn totem
#

Yeah, that's why I'm not interested in using the scoreboard mod. It feel like it would exacerbate more toxic behavior and negative methods of play.

blissful sparrow
#

eh it can be used responsibly

ive been running it forever because seeing numbers at the end is nice

but im not chasing top marks or anything

tough compass

The only time grims were worth it was when you couldn't roll melk contacts

#

Though making them give melk-bucks would be interesting

marsh gyro
#

Rending adds straight to your armor damage % vs flak and carapace (with 10% rending if you do 40% to Flak you now do 50%) and brittleness is rending that the whole team benefits from

#

Cleave gets weird because there's cleave targets (how many people get hit, and set on a weapon attack by attack basis) and cleave damage (how much damage goes to each target past the first, affected by enemy hit mass) and blessing cleave bonuses help both of those out

tough compass

drowsy tusk
#

yea i made the voice chat the punchline of the joke but ya messed it up and i forgive you but also big sad

tough compass
#

Like, in general, but especially as tidepods

<@&1042950387478560878> darktide, rejects?

drowsy tusk

#

Yo imagine if rannick was like "were getting astartes reinforcements."

#

And then going

#

"It's the flesh tearers"

cyan depot
#

Could be worse

distant surge
#

yeah

#

like Marines malevolent vicksySip

#

the space sharks would probably be pretty bad as well

drowsy vine
#

Or the Minotaurs

uneven field
#

Grendyl calls in a team of Grey Knights. You get banned from the game any time you run a mission where they appear.

white portal
#

Honestly I'd love to play a techpriest

#

Someone a bit tankier than regular folk but less tanky than the ogryn

uneven field
#

I've been saying since launch that I want the 5th class to be a Skitarii.

white portal
#

Yeeees

#

Big Cog Axe

uneven field
#

Something with the speed and tankiness of an Ogryn, but the melee focus of a Zealot.

white portal
#

I wonder what unique Skitarii grenades would be

uneven field
#

Googling gives me stasis, arc, and mindscrambler grenades.

#

so freeze a horde in place, shock them real bad, or confuse the hell out of them with severe neural trauma.

white portal
#

Honestly a mini-blackhole one would be fun. Toss it and it gravity pulls enemies towards it in a big tug before popping

uneven field
#

yessss.

cyan depot
uneven field
#

yeah that's the thing

cyan depot
#

Speaking for myself I'd wanna see the various lumenin talents

#

Or maybe some of the negavolt stuff

uneven field
#

like the examples I pulled down are just existing ones. techpriest shit can just get. all kinds of weird.

white portal
#

Shock is good. Honestly a shock mini-spear that you can just plant into someone and they shock enemies around them like Dear Rising blanka mask...

drowsy vine
#

I think Tech-Adept is a lot more likely than a full Skitarii

uneven field
#

yeah fair

#

which I'd settle for, honestly

cyan depot
uneven field
#

the penal conceit has kind of narrowed what classes they can use without just. abandoning the conceit and bringing in a character that's not one of the rejects.

white portal
#

The special abilities would be interesting to consider too

#

Static screech is a pretty good one but also damn that might be hard on the ears

uneven field
#

I could see a mechanicus type working as a heavy buff/debuff-er support and control type that can tank a decent amount of hits.

white portal
#

Yeah. Control an area around them on placing down something help people hold an area.

#

I'd honestly quite like it if they let them have a natural interaction bonus, like they could work with machines and everything faster because of course they do.

cyan depot
#

That'd be interesting

#

Like how Ogryn moves the cans faster

#

I think a lot of the stuff I'd like to see is more like cosmetics

#

But Navy Breacher gear would be cool

uneven field
#

I want a way to earn the premium cosmetics, honestly.

#

It won't happen, but I'd just like some kind of way to grind the currency so I don't gotta drop $20-something on an outfit

white portal
#

It'd be nice if they had two symbols they could click on the data interrogator thing

cyan depot
#

I'd love their GEAR though

white portal
#

which means they have a higher chance of getting it done fast

#

Scuba-knights

cyan depot
#

(Chainfist, Power Fire Axe, Multilaser, shieldgun)

uneven field
#

okay yes. I'd love literally any of those weapons.

drowsy vine
#

Ough the Hatchcutter's axe

#

Yes please

uneven field
#

a chainfist especially would be really damn fun on a zealot

white portal
#

I want a shield gun

#

I love shields, I love gun

uneven field
#

shield gun on a vet could be a menace

cyan depot
#

It'd be great for those narrow hallways

uneven field
#

just park within range of an oncoming horde and go to town

cyan depot
#

executioner rounds would also be a fun future shotgun special

#

The goofy Arbites shotguns could also be really cool

white portal
#

I think it'd be interesting if the Skitarii had like a tesla generator that zapped enemies and gave allies toughnes for every time it zaps an enemy

cyan depot
#

scoped shotgun sniper rifle

white portal
#

Like the psyker shield but instead of shield it does damage to give toughness

uneven field
#

one of them needlers that eisenhorn's pilot runs could be fun. or the bigger assault version the sisters of silence tote out.

cyan depot
#

The Revelatum's weird revolver shotgun is basically already in the game though

uneven field
#

yknow what introducing a tech-adept could be a good excuse to do, too? introduce more plasma weapons.

white portal
#

yeeee

#

or a nice big las weapon for the ogryn

uneven field
#

slap a lascannon into their hands and put a backpack on em, tbh

cyan depot
#

I think lore wise at least an autocannon would work better

#

But the visual is neat

uneven field
#

I'd love an autocannon, just feel like it'd feel redundant if they don't do enough to differentiate it when the Ogryn already has a ballistic heavy in his arsenal

white portal
#

I'd like an ogryn las/plasma gun that is a single shot. Like the kickback, but more accurate

cyan depot
#

I think it could be pretty different if it was semi auto

#

Basically a big rifle

white portal
#

The world goes white for a moment and there's a hole in the beast of nurgle

uneven field
#

or there's suddenly empty space where a horde was a second ago

uneven field
cyan depot
#

There's a cool pic for it as well

uneven field
#

basically just a bigass man-sized elephant gun

white portal
#

Still love the idea of an Ogryn weapon that is just a scooper mitten that you can take the head off of someone with the alt fire and then fastball it like a rock

gentle flame
#

I CANT BREATHE 🤣

pale gyro
#

Same for the las cannon idea

uneven field
#

the solution to that in my brain is to kill the accuracy on the guns, but amp the firepower. so one shot does a lot of damage and just clears a lot of bodies in one trigger-pull.

#

becaues firing what's likely effectively a point-blank artillery round into a horde of poxwalkers would cut a path

distant surge
#

always the secret trapper

#

i feel like they should be louder when they spawn

#

they can end your run

white rover
slender shell
#

I just want a slug round varient of the kickback as an ap option

white portal
#

I don't mind if it's basically just a Las version of a kickback that explodes where it hits I just want to give my ogryn an unstable warp core

distant surge
#

vicksySip our rejects are special

#

the ogryn reject can have an energy weapon as a treat

opaque crown
#

multilaser is right there tho

#

accuracy through volume of fire

#

rocket launcher would be fun

pale gyro
#

I want a rocket launcher for the vet tho

alpine needle
#

That would be cool

drowsy tusk
#

Ogryn melee weapon that is a autocannon or other heavy weapon used like a baseball bat by the barrel and alt attack puts it on a tripod

split mantleBOT
#

<@&1042950387478560878> who up darking they tides

gentle flame
#

I'm game, just finished my 2k Necron list

split mantleBOT
#

ah fuck might be a few minutes actually, need to download an update

dawn totem
#

I keep hearing about wanting a Power Fist for either the Vet or Ogryn.

pale gyro
#

Ogryn would get power fists

#

vet would get power fist

sinful shadow
#

i don't think you could give a power fist to an ogryn, i feel they can't be relied on to remember to turn it off or remove it before picking their noses

wraith grove
#

I really want Ogryn to get power knuckles

#

Or just brass knuckles in general

blissful sparrow
#

yeah lemme actually punch heretics

#

scrap iron tied to their hands

dawn totem
#

Power fist does feel more like a Vet weapon anyway.

hushed glade
#

If we get a power fist I want them to just go full hog and make it two power fists

#

just so you can start boxing fools

wraith grove
#

Yah same

#

I need some dual weapons in general

#

I want my dual axes back from vermintide so bad

hushed glade
#

me about to clear the 10 crusher spawn horde

wraith grove
#

Need to make my Ippo zealot build

#

Maximum speed and dodges

hushed glade
#

uses knife but only for the punch

wraith grove
#

The knife is mere decoration

marsh gyro
#

Getting a knife punch kill hit marker wins you the game

wraith grove
#

If you kill someone with the knife’s punch it should be said in all caps in the kill feed like the fish in TF2

limpid zinc
#

ive never used the revolver smack in any other context, come to think of it

#

if something comes up to play while im reloading ill just spamclick its head or swap melee

opaque crown
#

i just want brass knuckles made of scrap for the ogryn, not a power fist

tough compass
#

<@&1042950387478560878> Gaems?

drowsy tusk
#

I’m off work in like an hour for some@midnight tidin

#

ngl on vet, ive fallen in love with the og chain axe

marsh gyro

Goes great with any of the power blessings
