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
that is very good for voidstrike
Any room?
does it go well with Blazing spirit?
sorry all stacked up
hmu if hardmode slots open up
I think we got a spot
Internet just died, be back soon
sorry i missed y'all, was making dinner and forgot to check back
No worries
I have time tomorrow
We got about 30-40% in so there’s room for improvement
im hitting half on pugs so i can only assume a premade will have me over the hurdle first try
both to half, because pug cohesion is not great
Yeah mood
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.
Maybe everyone got better
maybe i just got better lol
I feel like the boss fight has made those who seek higher difficulty stuff better
at least a bit
so is the twins mission generally considered more difficult than standard missions of same threat level?
aka will my character i'm generally running pub games fine in malice have difficulty queueing up in pub lobbies doing that mission
Hard Mode is utterly brutal
but regular is fine
ah ok
hard mode is nasty
yes
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
i wanna try more Malestrom today 
@heavy geyser @native roost and i were running a mission last night where i got got by a netter hiding in a crusher, rezzed, grabbed by a different netter, rezzed, and then grabbed by a mutant and thrown into a THIRD SEPARATE NETTER and i had 0 time to act, it was just chain stun city
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
That was a cursed game
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
Bombers are very passionate about their job
unlike snipers
how many snipers have you found at meele range
more than youd think, and still not enough
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
I can later today
I’ve got a good rhythm on damnatiom missions with my ogryn now. I can’t help but think this would be much harder on a squishier class
turns out everyone's got a little trapper in them yearning to get out
Heresy Hi Intensity I was the MVP Steal Zealot.
<@&1042950387478560878> darktide gaming
I finally unlocked the Eviscerator on zealot. This thing seems really good!
it's one of my favorites 
There was a bug during the beta that could cause snipers to totally forgo trying to shoot you and they would try to bum rush you and kick you to death 

<@&1042950387478560878>
Lmao
Gun psyker?
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
It works the same on shovel
It's better on the foldable shovel because you can fold and bonk it good in 3.5s
yeah on folding shovel it works, but I still favor thrust and brutal momentum because they're more controllable
i have joined the ranks of the Hardmode Clearers
nice
very much looking forward to more content like this, it rules
Gonna be hard to get my crew together often enough to do it during holidays sadly, but we have it in our ambitions
I wanna take another swing at it tomorrow
I've been having trouble choosing between chant and stealth for my zealot for it
i think chant is superior to have on zealot
specifically because it stuns the bosses through their shields if you're close
I think another important thing is that chant doesn't pass aggro to someone who isn't expecting it
That's how I'm leaning
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
i just keep using charge lol
charge is great
charge is so good its nuts
stun, free crit, toughness replenishment, and a fast enough CD w/ reduction to have it basically any time
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
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....
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
he just ran at me
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.
A good backstory for a blorbo is the best part of create a character systems
my zealot just has autism with a special interest for the emperor that was mistaken for devotion and filed into the eclassiarchy. they were in prison for unauthorized emperorsonas.
can't wait to hit the 500k achievement for round 2 on this meme
My Vet, Ruby (a popular name apparently) is a militarum brat who traveled with her parents' regiment, meaning that she had a big extended family. She could recite engagement codes at the same time she could read. Ended up getting wrongfully accused of insubordination by a random commissar.
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
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
Devoted Rejects, Here are the patch notes for 1.2.22, which just went live on Steam and will shortly be live on our other platforms. Fixes Fixed an issue where players could remain soft-locked at the end elevator of the Orthus Offensive mission when dealing too much damage to the Karnak Twins in the double ambush encounter. Fixed an issue wher...
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
What are some solid perks for the Thunder Hammer?
thrust is a bit obvious, I think hammerblow can be good too
Thrust can be awkward to use when everything's running around in a horde but wowie zowie does it bonk good
Slaughterer can be good for general purpose
goes great into an ironhelm
Headtaker is also good i think, for general purpose
I've got lvl 3 Thrust and Trauma.
I do like the impact and hit mass blessings myself even though power blessings are probably easier to use
Yeah that'll be good for general use until you get more level 4 blessings
With thrust you can watch the buff tick up to 3 and that's when you release the heavy
Okay. I'm really getting into Zealot and I'm looking at a Thunder Hammer that plays to my style.
do you like bonking individual big things real good
or do you want to bonk things through a crowd
Ooo good question...
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
I've noticed how Crucis just obliterates Chaos Spawn.
I'd say Ironhelm wants Thrust blessing more than Crucis
I'll stick with my Crucius but I'll be looking for one that builds up and damaging over impact and charging.
definitely worth giving them both a fair go and seeing what you like imo
they're both good
<@&1042950387478560878> I'll boot up darktide if other people want to play
What did you have in mind today? I was thinking of shooting for some penances.
Down for anything tbh
gotta get a group together for some hardmode runs at some point
still chasing that achievement
any of the new kit they added worth crafting?
revolver is good, ogryn shovel is good, eviscerator and chainaxe are good
heard mixed things about the new chainsword and the vet shovels
The Vet shovels rule
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
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"
I don't have to play psyker anymore 
director has felt incredibly mean tonight
was playing with friends on malice, felt harder than usual
damnation has been a shitshow
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
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
Mh, it's understandable considering the fossil i have as gpu, maybe the sdd can smooth it down a bit
1060 beats the minimum reqs so
Loner Psyker is great
feel like you get more of these with masc voices than fem voices
i read "jungle zealot"
Male Loner Psyker is the "canon" psyker to me

I'm sorry Skully you've been retconned

I mean it's the exact same dialogue
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
Lots of flamers clearing out hordes really helps with dealing with everything else
never pings for me!
you can't stop me from pinging you in my mind

there i just did it!
gonna do it again 
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
nah
i'll go stealth vet and shank em all in their kidneys
I hopped into a different one already

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 
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"
didn't think of that
are they also affected by low visibility?
i know they are in lights out
oh nah, their goggles actually work
i dont think lights out affects them either tbh
oh really? thank you for the heads up
didn't know
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
spotter is so nice on lites out
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
minimum is a 970 which the 1060 beats in most specs
I know someone who played with a 1060 and it was fine
Lower graphics ofc but the game is pretty on low spec anyway
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
Yeah the lod number is really one to avoid turning down if possible
mh, maybe dynamic resolution is an option
that aside if most of it is covered it will be just the usual shadow and such off
not familiar with the term
make it look like half life 1 
spanish language sitcoms, they have a reputation for being very motionsmoothed compared to most kinds of TV/streaming
the cinematic standard is 24fps so the high frames and smooth motions associated with telenovae look strange to most english language viewers
ah all clear, well
considering how dark it is even lowering the shadow quality will surely be helpful
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
Just give everyone head lamps
Everyone does have headlamps they just use candles or some shit
Cause they’re very dim
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)
There are actually different flashlights which work differently but most of them can only be gotten with the weapon customization mod
lol, true
I don’t think you need a weapon with a flashlight for lights out
It's true
Though shorter ranged less precise ones are better
maybe they should just remove flashlights altogether
zealot skins with shoulder candles: the lights out meta????
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
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
I would support light flickering/turning off in limited circumstances, like if there was a demonic entity whose materialization was announced by that
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
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
I know it's a common trope. But I find it a bit silly how shitty video game flashlights are
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
And having a functional plasma gun or power sword but a dysfunctional flashlight is hard for my suspension of disbelief
Are they pretty good lore wise?
Just really shitty on tabletop and hence the flashlight jokes?
(plus a lot of shooting at super tough xenos or heavily armored traitors)
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
Lore-wise they’re pretty strong
as Lord Castellan Creed said
"whoever thinks a lasgun is useless has never been in front of 10 thousands of them"
But thanks to them being S3 ap- nonsense on the tabletop the jokes continue
40k power levels are as consistent as Axe Cop
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
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
the problem is that tehy're constantly being compared to the weapons of demigods in power armor
and can eject as grenade
And you can recharge the ammo packs with outlets and campfires
but that's the joke, since power level is so insane in 40k, that is considered the worst
they dont even have skulls on them
The campfire one is particularly ridiculous
of course they suck
It’s not good for them and don’t tell your local tech priest but it works
if you handed a modern logistics dept a lasgun they would shit themselves in joy
but that's because bolter weapons are so insane, most normal humans cannot operate them
Yeah, I'm just thinking energy density wise
I’m talking about in-setting views of them
Yeah best not to think about that haha
Though maybe in 40k, campfires are enormous plasma bonfires
I’m pretty sure a lasgun pack has WAY more - yeah
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
you can even throw the battery into a fire to recharge them if needed
Just like real life
The 41st Millennium’s hottest Vox Station is now broadcasting on Atoma Prime!
A massive thank you to Chicken for the meme template and to @Slaire. for the original Heresy FM video for the inspiration.
Special thanks to FatShark, Games Workshop and @krabix4095 for the fantastic sound effects!
:)
this is an incredible line, im using this
got one float point here. Purge the Unclean seems good but so does +30 Impact in the middle, although I think the bottom left trait covers rager impact thresholds on its own
<@&1042950387478560878>
I'm down!
Wow, Grendal's getting desperate with the rejects.
Listen, it's not like most rejects even use the damn thing when they have one.
These are some dream rolls, y'all are groovin'
I killed the twins
That’s probably the coolest mission in the game so far
Legitimately so fucking cool
It's a really neat one
I just got a an uprising hard mode clear done and it was very silly
I thought hard mode didn't proc on that level
when I ran a friend thru it we only had the normal skip bell available, the right bell didn't show up
On uprising or malice iirc
oh weird
Just a guy
I FOUND IT
Not even an Ogryn
He’s just a really big guy
omg it rally
HARDMODE TWINS DOWN
who's that lil guy on the left
Nice, I got distracted by ultrakill but I should get back on the hard mode grind
what time is it for you right now Misc?
i'll be available tomorrow morning my time
it's 1 am right now actually so later today 
like 9 am/10 am my time in case u wanna try doing hard mode early
<@&1042950387478560878>
Jingle shells,
Nurgle smells,
Ogryns's great big 'nade
My Veteran needs some help,
slaying all these scabs (melk melk melk)
lmao I got on overwatch on accident during a malice run
<@&1042950387478560878> anyone up for hardmode sweating
word
Ping me too I need to sweat it out
ping me too
am free now
i can be ready in a minute, need to make something for lunch first
Sounds good
if y'all got room I'm happy to try some hard mode
Same
Be ready soon
How's it lookin?
GODDAMN this was a great mission
Vigil station Oblivium with 1 buddy and 2 really cool randoms
i can yop
sweet
@cyan depot 2434028873
weapon customization
ooh
SANTA

also btw, what kind of blessing do i want to slap on this thing? looks almost battle ready
👏
Hard mode down!

Oh nice!
me too 
I barely beat difficulty 4 with my normal group
WE ARE GAMERRRRRRRR
Darktide gaming

i wonder if it actually would have wiped us had i gone down at the last moment
Did only one person live?
yep
Amazing
after we dropped the sister it was two of us and one went down on a miniwave of ragers while rannick was running his mouth
i almost got got by a singlular remaining mine but the knife's infinidodges let me just kite the group around until he shut up
it would have wiped you
i once accidentally wiped an assassination mission by hitting a barrel at the last minute and catapulting myself and the other survivor into the abyss
no enemies on the map at all
lmfao
so yeah it ain't over until the outro plays
This game really needs a pyrrhic victory screen
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
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
I went for the former yeah
if you try to split the difference you just wind up not contributing enough to anything
Obscurus sword, voidstrike staff, assail, dome
Good crowd control is super important for the twins fights
The gas sections are so much harder without something like smite, assail or idol
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
Wait sprint damage?
Ohhhh
Ogy and Zealot don't
Same! I didn't for a really long time but it explained several random deaths haha
Especially with how many ragers spawn in that section
Also what was everyone else running?
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
Nice
Oh and we had the "ammo boxes give grenades" talent and ogryn bomb
ogrynheimer
So we got like 3 nukes off
as our friend likes to say
Vet actually takes a huge amount more, it's the most by a long shot
like +50% or something
I see
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
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
Chain rev attacks shred gun boy's shield
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
It's definintely dicey with the chainsword
The knife also empties his shield fast anyway so
Punch-light spam at the shield or at either twins head does tons of work
I really do think that generalization is REALLY bad for hard mode
I think for that you really just want to specialize really hard
I barely touched my revolver
Tbh an auto gun of any variety might have been a stronger pick
I enjoyed using a braced autogun
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
i popped off a few shots but there really wasnt the space to reload
I mean that runs the risk of losing someone important and just being fucked for the rest of the fight
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
Fair enough
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
Also to unlock hard mode you gotta beat it on damnation then ring the bell at the start of the mission right?
we went through the first two gas waves with almost no damage iirc
you unlock hard mode by doing a bell puzzle, but you can subsequently beat them on any difficulty
me and a friend actually unlocked it on uprising lol
Oh ok
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
If you solve the bell puzzle and finish the level you get the penance
Regardless of difficulty
So you can unlock it on Sedition
hi, plasma vet here from this game
i focused on elites, shooting sister shield, and applying the mark buff on brother
free grenades all around, semi-horde control with shredder grenades and plasma sword for vents
the grenades were great
Big shoutout to the new chainsword, even without a cleave blessing it's a great generalist with a huge crit multiplier - I was running Shred and Rev it Up on plasma Vet
was there a new 1H chainsword? I thought it was only the heavy
there's also a new 1hand yeah
new one hand is a little more single target focused
remember to all my mates to switch over to the new talisman
feel stronger just wearing it
No Darktide for me until our Internet is back.
oof
at this point I won't be able to get hard mode because everyone I would party up with will have done it already
I'm good to try again
I was getting into the swing of things when we won
It's genuinely really fun
<@&1042950387478560878> Anyone wanna grind damnation twins?
I'm down for hardmode
Someone made the pokerap
I'm also good to sweat hardmode this evening
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥...
40k game devs are actually pretty funny this holiday season
there was also the "dumb ways to trade" owlcat one
Which was funny if also a weirdly deep cut these days
Oh yeah that
That video
<@&1042950387478560878> Gonna be doing some normal missions, whatever difficulty is fine
If no one got my back, I know Peddler 138/143 got my back
Hopefully Hadron doesn't totally fuck this thing
If you got Surge already that's easy to swap in
If I use surge, I want flurry or nexus
Maybe soulblaze, but that's a totally niche build
Just got a nice revo from brunt tho
Could be better, but not by much. Gonna give hadron a chance to redeem herself
Beat damnation with some friends
and a pubby
Feel good about being able to carry people through that at least
It's a really good feeling, knowing that you're directly responsible for the team's success.
this looks like a reasonable individual
bang bang bang
Head bopper

<@&1042950387478560878> anyone wanna tide
Sure, hard mode run attempts?
sure
let me get a drink and I'll be there, save me a spot
#1159883850562932826 message
<@&1042950387478560878> Anyone still up for some darktiding?
me. give me a few minutes
haha just saw this
Will the orthus offensive only be available for a limited time?
Im guessing yes but I don’t know
I imagine what will happen is it'll be a random chance afterwards
I don't think I'll be able to get the hard mode pin -_- my group is all pretty much unavailable this time of year to even practice
Might be able to find people here
<@&1042950387478560878> Any gamers?
Yeah I'm down for finishing up melk contracts, be there in about five minutes
I can do a run or two in a bit
<@&1042950387478560878> Anyone up for a few runs?
yo
gimmie a sec to restart DT cause its running a lil choppy

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?
alright thats a good pull
Nice
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
Once the reticle bloom settles, the salvo is over, each weapon has different timing and you can see it when the buff icon toggles on and off.
For infantry lasguns I usually run headhunter/deadly accurate because I do lots of clicking but Opening Salvo is handy for hitting breakpoints on quick swap
still kinda mid with a roll like this, maybe im missing something in the mindset
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 🤨
i usually upgrade those once
see if i get the one i need
i mean ONE of the ones i want for the relic
then i go all the way, since u get 2 changes
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
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
What's nice these days on the relics is there's lots of flexibility because you can refine 2 slots of 3
tru
Doin a little crimis darktide
It's a Dark (Yule) Tide!!
Back for dark tide
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
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
nothing will save you from bad situations more than being able to suck up getting shot a bunch by gunners
so yeah +1 to gunner resist
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
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
something else people say is good is sniper resistance but i rarely get him by them
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
in a party with a buncha ogryns is the one with the rock responsible of dealing with snipers?
Either rock or just rain out some shots. I used to snipe with the kickback
is that the granade launcher?
big shotgun
kickback is great yeah
is it like the agripana?
i am the wrong ogryn to ask haha
i actually really like bonus dockets as a relic perk
why?
it costs a lot of money to brunt spam
My Vet's got +10% dockets on all 3 relics and it's super noticeable
neat
That checkerboard tat is good
Psyker with the big shoulders is my favorite look
still the smallest shoulders in the party
Chad forgot to raise the dukes
I tried this today and it is goooood

<@&1042950387478560878> Boxing Day boxing tide?
eI'm down
I'll be in activity 1 soon
ok available now funny old screenshot of being really really overprepared
Oh god the realm of chaos has taken you
oh no i was already dead
<@&1042950387478560878> darktide
cutthroat moment
Reál is technically a cadian gf she's just really mean
who that
I think with my current builds, I'm able to play Heresy fairly successfully.
what's ur lvl
<@&1042950387478560878> gooooooodd moooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiing daaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrktide chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Sure
sure get in heah
actually go the first one without me
i'll be like 10 to 15 minutes before i can join
I will come darktide shortly but first I have to set up the surround sound on my new headset
because playing Darktide with no directional audio is a bad idea
we have a spot if you like
Tidin' them Darks, eh?
just bought darktide after refunding it last year
<@&1042950387478560878> Doing hard mode boss runs if anyone is interested
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
Some days you just gotta laugh
mutants earn their fairly high spot on the Misc Ranking of Special Dangerousness purely because occasionally they fastball someone into an approaching elite pack and start the death cascade
they are either mostly irrelevant or absolutely crushing
when I launch dark tide my internet stops working
my highest annoyance threshold special is the scab bomber
failin to deal with one quickly has ended more than one run
Bursters are evil, I know they have counterplay but goddamn can the game play pranks with them
And the range at which they knock you back is whack
i wish they filled them with candy during halloween
I fixed it
you can pay to increase a weapons rating right/
I dont want a dogass power sword if I'm gonna be playing in the higher difficulties
ah ic
so the rating goes up till orange (gold? I'm colorblind), and what you gain is traits and blessings for upgrades
Just slam the Brunt gacha for a 350 or so weapon and upgrade it for the ages
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
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
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
nice
I hate the cadian guard
"Oh... there's a door there... did you know there used to be doors on Cadia?"
He's great
i forget the voice pack for the extremely angry and bitter asshole guard
but it goes well with the cadian origin
"Relax? I'll never relax, thats when they get you!" (paraphrased)
gives the vibes of having seen way too much and being too strung out lol
honestly fits the feel of a reject nicely
Cutthroat is Cadia Stan, Loose Cannon is Put the Karkin' Booty! Professional is your freindly neighborhood guardsman.
It's a shame the Professional is still spacist to the Psykers though
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
Loose cannon is coping by pretending to have a great time, professional is coping by sticking to the book, cadian isn't coping
Savant psyker just loves the festival of St Messelini, what's not to love
I love him because every one makes fun of him for his obsession with Cadia
I really like the Seer personality.
Funny, it's Cadian exclusive lol
would anyone be up to play some darktide?
I gotta make myself something to eat first but I can play a bit
Still available?
yep
Ok cool I should be soon

Man, that quickdraw revolver is fun.
finding out that its still really accurate if you crouch and stance when firing
it's accurate as hell in general. I was half-assing some of my shots and OHKO'ing enemies.
as long as you hit.. vaguely in the area near the head and they're not an elite they're going down, it seems.
its pretty balls if you're moving and trying to hit something outside of actual pistol range
yeah, it was purely my 'stop and put down the ranged enemy out of my reach' on my zealot while I was playing with the gun. everything else got chainsworded.
It's not a pocket sniper, which I think loses it points for a lot of people, but it's lot of fun all the same
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.
Are you on heresy? That sounds like heresy.
I found heresy much harder to adjust to than damnation.
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.
i find the speed runner randos to be most vexxing
then they die on their own and immediately quit
I swear I was in a match where we got like three separate speed runners who jumped in, ran off, died, and jumped out.
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
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.
i get em far more rarely on damnation
but i still do
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.
look, i dont know abou them, but I want my plasteel
I had some really stinky malice missions before Christmas, one guy dc'd got replaced with a useless zealot that just rushed the end. Mother fucker even teabagged me when I went down dueling a Reaper. Ran past the Reaper who was one shot and aggroed the gunner nest behind it. Then typed kys when I made a snarky comment about how "I wish we kept the bot"
These people are a plague
Hey, who doesn't? When when I've got a hound on me... you wanna... you wanna help? Cauuuuse I really can't... oh, no? Okay... no, it's fine... it's fine...
yeah its the most annoying shit when you get dogged and they just wander off
none of them actually checking behind them
And I'm often the guy who brings up the rear for the same reason. I've tried to be mean and I can't do it. I'll almost always run back to save someone.
It’s the worst on heresy IME though malice just has really bad players
I don’t begrudge them. Everyone has gotta start somewhere
(Plus it is a good opportunity to practice carrying)
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
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
Which is just... why not enjoy the game?
Or is fun just "not efficient," for that mindset?
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
Yeah I suppose. Any further and I'm going to get into that poisonous, "you're not having fun right," mentality.
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
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.
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
People were not meant to know if they skip taking a medicae pip a number goes up.
I find it pretty helpful for checking if my playstyle is working or just seems like it
yeah like "is this build pulling its weight or did i get carried" is valid i think
But yeah I turned off the actual scores because score chasing is easy to fall into
the only number that matters is Four tenacious lads standing together on the results screen. Come what may they will meet their fate together
i enjoy being able to see if what I'm trying to do is actually reflected in the numbers about what im trying to do, personally
the numbers aren't even unified between clients ive noticed though
4 players can compare stats for the same game and get some pretty different numbers
The only scoreboard stat I chase is ammo used
I need grenades used for my krakmaxxing tendencies
three genuinely skilled zealots and a single ogryn make for a really funny party. a beefgate and three insane human blenders.
Oh wow lol
<@&1042950387478560878> doing missions
<@&1042950387478560878> Missions for the Melk God, Ordos for the Brunt Pyre!
Anyone run into a bug where they die with a grimoire, get rescued, and the grimoire's still there though it doesn't count for the objective?
negative, i pretty much never pick em up
They feel both harder to find and much less enticing than VT2, bums me out
all my characters are lvl 30, i feel like i have absolutely no reason to get em
comparative to how much more dangerous they make am ission
I just yell "for the beneficent grimperor" and see if folks want to slam them
Is there an in game glossary for the terms in the weapon bonuses like rend, brittle and cleave?
The only time grims were worth it was when you couldn't roll melk contacts
Though making them give melk-bucks would be interesting
There is not
You can get some cleave details by inspecting the weapon stat and mousing over it and it'll say how many enemies it goes through base and that helps eyeball if cleave% bonuses will help or nah
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
This site has some fan collected information: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/effects
I recently got Sunder blessing on Power Sword (increased cleave on energized hit) and I need to get enemy spawner mod to test the actual numbers in the Psykhanium because it sure feels real good in general use
<@&1042950387478560878> what do you call a group of dolphins playign darktide?
i dont know if thats the right answer, but i like that answer a lot
yea i made the voice chat the punchline of the joke but ya messed it up and i forgive you but also big sad
Like, in general, but especially as tidepods
<@&1042950387478560878> darktide, rejects?
Yo imagine if rannick was like "were getting astartes reinforcements."
And then going
"It's the flesh tearers"
Could be worse
yeah
like Marines malevolent 
the space sharks would probably be pretty bad as well
Or the Minotaurs
Grendyl calls in a team of Grey Knights. You get banned from the game any time you run a mission where they appear.
Honestly I'd love to play a techpriest
Someone a bit tankier than regular folk but less tanky than the ogryn
I've been saying since launch that I want the 5th class to be a Skitarii.
Something with the speed and tankiness of an Ogryn, but the melee focus of a Zealot.
I wonder what unique Skitarii grenades would be
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.
Honestly a mini-blackhole one would be fun. Toss it and it gravity pulls enemies towards it in a big tug before popping
yessss.
You can get really weird with tech priest stuff
yeah that's the thing
Speaking for myself I'd wanna see the various lumenin talents
Or maybe some of the negavolt stuff
like the examples I pulled down are just existing ones. techpriest shit can just get. all kinds of weird.
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...
I think Tech-Adept is a lot more likely than a full Skitarii
Which were iirc, magnetic stuff (bullet reflector blitz?), lightning, and... charging devices but that's pretty boring for darktide
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.
Footage recorded for use on whatsyourtagblog.com
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
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.
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.
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
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
It'd be nice if they had two symbols they could click on the data interrogator thing
I'd love their GEAR though
(Chainfist, Power Fire Axe, Multilaser, shieldgun)
okay yes. I'd love literally any of those weapons.
a chainfist especially would be really damn fun on a zealot
shield gun on a vet could be a menace
It'd be great for those narrow hallways
just park within range of an oncoming horde and go to town
executioner rounds would also be a fun future shotgun special
The goofy Arbites shotguns could also be really cool
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
scoped shotgun sniper rifle
Like the psyker shield but instead of shield it does damage to give toughness
one of them needlers that eisenhorn's pilot runs could be fun. or the bigger assault version the sisters of silence tote out.
The Revelatum's weird revolver shotgun is basically already in the game though
yknow what introducing a tech-adept could be a good excuse to do, too? introduce more plasma weapons.
slap a lascannon into their hands and put a backpack on em, tbh
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
I'd like an ogryn las/plasma gun that is a single shot. Like the kickback, but more accurate
The world goes white for a moment and there's a hole in the beast of nurgle
or there's suddenly empty space where a horde was a second ago
but yeah fair I can see this working
There's a cool pic for it as well
basically just a bigass man-sized elephant gun
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
Not gonna lie, I really like that there are bigger horde densities like this.

I CANT BREATHE 🤣
I think the reason we dont see it is because Ogryns arent really meant to be a sniping class
Same for the las cannon idea
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
always the secret trapper
i feel like they should be louder when they spawn
they can end your run
Isn't that what the kickback does already?
I just want a slug round varient of the kickback as an ap option
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
multilaser is right there tho
accuracy through volume of fire
rocket launcher would be fun
I want a rocket launcher for the vet tho
That would be cool
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
<@&1042950387478560878> who up darking they tides
I'm game, just finished my 2k Necron list
ah fuck might be a few minutes actually, need to download an update
I keep hearing about wanting a Power Fist for either the Vet or Ogryn.
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
Power fist does feel more like a Vet weapon anyway.
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
Yah same
I need some dual weapons in general
I want my dual axes back from vermintide so bad
uses knife but only for the punch
The knife is mere decoration
Getting a knife punch kill hit marker wins you the game
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
sometimes when im running newbies thru baby levels ill try smacking everything with my revolver
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
i just want brass knuckles made of scrap for the ogryn, not a power fist
<@&1042950387478560878> Gaems?
I’m off work in like an hour for some@midnight tidin
ngl on vet, ive fallen in love with the og chain axe
Goes great with any of the power blessings
