I really want be designer instead
Writing game documents
That stuff important I learned
If im honest i think some of the sections should just be ripped up, replaced
Talent breakdown could be better done, as already shown by path.exe
Weapon breakdowns need massive overhauls in explaining blessings, perks.
btw
i finally found a use for serrated blade
on something that isnt knife
to pretend i have bloodletter IV instead of III 
200 extra damage
reduces the number of bleed ticks to ligiht rev a mutie by 3
especially relevant since im stuck with 10% elite on the current csword
im using
i know u say just heavy but its still a lot more commitment when the whole point is i want to rev and forget lul
i took the current one out for the my last game and needing to heavy mutie train instead of just light felt p bad ngl
so serrated blade it is 
The Spykarium girl really doesn't like the Loose Cannon lol
Sefoni
Yeah, her
Loose Cannon is a simple man/woman
If military manual says Empreror is god, then he is a god
Simple as
When yet another knife post pops up on the subreddit and you see people recommending lacerate 
Must be one of those knife zealots that don't revive either.
Zealot mains are fine as long as they're not knife zealots
shame that i don't like the pathing for loner
Also some eviscerator users that go solo and rage quit when they fall incapacitated 😒
Wdym
Using the bodyshot talent on a weakspot weapon is peak builds

Who wants crit or rending on a knife anyway
Most meta builds are 1 hit kill, lacerate is DoT
Spam light bodyshots all day
Why kill something in one second when u can watch it bleed to death in 12 smh
In Auric missions you need to kill at sight
No one does 
Every class have those asshats
The issue isn't that it has a dot
It's that you have to gimp your damage by like 1/3 to use that dot
But only zealot gives them a way to survive
Fuck whoever thought Loner was a good idea
Yes, but maybe my last mission were like that, a eviscerator user going solo while the others stick together, but thats has been my experience last months with zealots with knife
Yeah those are Loner users
Uh excuse me I am a sedition only speedrunner
Nobody likes those
With my lacerate flesh tearer knife
Why use lacerate and see something bleed to death
0 finesse on knife because bodyshots only 
If you can just shoot someone
hey so im looking at the helbore guns, which one's the most popular?
Imo, mk1 is the easiest and best to build for something flexible
Veteran can be very good at melee but I am playing veteran for pew pew and not shank shank
yeah im seeing footage and the bayonet looks whack
Mk1 is a happy medium that keeps the good bayonet
Sadly
For me is mk3, nice damage
is it still good at single target?
Doesn't mean bayonets are useless
Still should be great
Veri high stagger
And good damage
Can still do single target well except crushers
So bring a melee weapon that can do hordes or crushers to pair
I run helbore mk2 and rashad
I was able to 1 hit kill crushers in danmation
I'm talking about the bayonet
Srry
Well if you want to get technical, it was bugfixed
Honestly I wanted to try bolter but I don't have a good build for it
Point and shoot
Pinning fire and cavalcade for full auto or pinning + surgical for headshotting
Full auto is self explanatory
For headshotting, just ads shoot, let go of m2 for a little bit and then m2 again to somewhat bypass the recoil animation
Focus target keystone, precision strikes talent and crit lets u output some pretty nasty numbers
Executioner stance helps massively too but i prefer the shout to make space
Yeah with that handling on the bolter you need the space
They should unjank the weapon
Or add jank to more weapons 
My battlefield jimmies want faster spread recovery for muh brace auto guns.
Shotguns gaining ADS damage makes me feel like I'm playing the BF1 model 10 hunter on argonne forest.
the spread recovery on braced really feels... bad
think I'm gonna start running this build on my new Vet (missing the ones I put a line over), been really digging the Mk 6 knife on Vet actually. in fact, being light and fast has me thinking of finally putting my love for the Mk 3 Helbores to the side and trying out the other two once again, cus I remember not liking them that much before
It's tolerable on zealot with dance of Death. But holy hell do braced autos get stupid inacurrate on vet without using executioner stance.
I actually haven't even used automatic weapons on Veteran with the stance since the talent tree lmao
I'm sensing new patch coming up soon
in a few weeks
then ill come back and play more Darktide 
ye I feel like that's the general sentiment rn
the game's not dead per say, everyone's just kind of waiting for the next big patch
also I should specify my build I lean heavily into being a sniper with my build
You were away very long for almost months
not a build I'd recommend for everyone lol
I kinda accepted that the game is just gonna be this popular, no more, no less
And people would yapping about helldiver 2
well there is a certain other game yknow
well yeah. it's the boeing in the room lol
but you can play both, they offer different things
i thoroughly enjoy darktide combat more though
As long as they fix the really dire bugs and I can get auric maelstrom matches at sicko hours I'll be content with dorktide
Shittide?
Helldivers 2 didn't do much for me idk
I sit and wait for starship troopers major updates
well im not here to talk about HD2 anyway 😄
since the patch my connection hasn't been great though
anyone having the same problem?
Bad connection you say?
I've had just a few hiccups but I know its been worse for others
2014 error code?
no, it's just lag spikes and stutter
which happens before but especially recently, not outright disconnection though
very rarely I get disconnection
I didn’t have stutter but when I see desync like player or enemy walk sliding cross floor I knew I’m going get disconnection
Is your computer run good on games?
I used to have lag fps first time until guy told me turn up worker threads
Map loading assets is one issue cause lag spike (as I believe)
I mean I have been playing this game for a while haha
it's either my Internet or the server I think
Living east coat hurricane seasonal country
Just remember that if your goal is to light spam, the mk6 is objectively inferior than the 3 for that.
Both have the same cleave values on lights
But 3 has an attack that just does more damage
That's how you want to use the 6, the individual strikes will feel better because the horizontal heavies have like double the cleave and can go through 2 scab bruisers. But apparently its only a slight increase for overall hordeclear.
Still feels off that the lights on it don't have any better cleave than the 3 though
Deadly/headhunter is the classic combo, but your one tap potential is still the worst out of all the infantry lasguns
There's not really much else going in terms of blessings. You could do ghost for deadshot/dnd shenanigans though.
Can't really commend infernus.
Yeah I've got this silly build for kantrael lasgun
Which basically just spam and win with mk4 and be good at headshotting with mk1
Essentially turning darktide into call of duty
They do bullpups so dirty
Surely they will finally unfuck recons next patch, haha
does deathspitter actually stack? It looks like it does according to my hud. Have i been going so long thinking it didnt' stack?
The description indeed reads as if it didn’t stack, but it always did 
dang, so my blessings might actually be okay, maybe it's not bricked!
looks like this could make for a decent anti-shooter build weapon
fatshark very good at writing descriptions 
Deathspitter stacks just like fire frenzy
The difference is deathspitter is a power boost (all ranges) while ff is a close range damage boost (decay over distance)
so deathspitter would actually be preferred? i've forgotten the actual percentages offhand
DS gives power which is preferred over damage in equal measure
For fixing that gun, switch out both perks. That's how you'll get the most consistent value.
Flak/maniac.
fire frenzy is slightly higher
but
unless you're exclusively shooting at close range
a generic all-range damage boost is going to do better
imo at least
honestly both are fine
and yeah you should just swap out perks
all brauto blessings are pretty mediocre
deathspitter is probably the best of them
hit and run is fine enough
Yes, ff has slightly higher damage values. But it apparently works like anoint in blood now so that tapers off quite quickly.
How bad is this lil fella?
Ran through auric damnation without picking up ammo packs so ammo stat shouldn't be bad
im gonna guess
that is a lastgun IV
and the blessings are
headhunter deadly accurate
the perks are
uh
Oh yeah it's
yes
Not deadly accurate
Falter yeah
damn
One with stagger
falter -> DA
groaner -> something better
sitting there
and cope with crit damage
Should I take flak or maniac instead of pox
test the gun
i am not familiar with IV bps
i just know ofhand that it already has very good maniac damage but very bad flak
I'll take flak then
late but thanks for the deathspitter advice, and my plan was definitely to swap out both perks for flack and maniac, thank you!
I wish penances for gas mask vet helmet wasn't so grindy
Fucking
"Finish 50 missions again dipshit"
50 missions lol. wait until you get to the real mission grind
No I said 50 more
I already finished 50 missions
Basically I just have to play only veteran for the penance
Fun fact: One of the veterans has a killing method referred to as the ”groin-gouger”
This is cannon and an actual voiceline in game.
In his defence, groin does have major arteries
then you also get these
afaik they all go to rank 5
I have a lot of hours in this game and not even close to done. granted I dont grind 100% of the time im in game, waiting for friends, testing in psykanium, rolling weapons, etc. but these penances are like 2k hours kinda grind
At least I've fully done the For the Emperor related penances
Most of them accidebtal
Except for like
Certain ones
I like this one
with activation it does pretty well vs crushers and chargers. lights are decent. heavies are nice hori swipes for cc
ive been meaning to test it out with cara perk
Mk3 has faster special
Mk7 has true horizontal sweeps on heavy
That is basically the main difference
How soon should I look for a replacement?
Deadly Accurate 2 and ranged crit dmg really bother me
YOu can always upgrade deadly accurate if get a better one from Melk or crafting random las guns
It's usable
I also do wanna know the dump stat
But I'm not really a fan of lasguns period
In case I wanna make a better one
Did some buying in bulk, is this one kinda better?
Prob should made screenshot like this
Statwise?
It's fine
About the same really
So just roll the hadron slots and pray
Ok glad to know
I've got a Mark Ia also but I assure you it's good
Deadly accurate 3 and headhunter 1 (I'll upgrade it later dw)
With flak and unarmored
Last one wasn't my choice
unarmored is fine
the maniac damage is already stupid high
not like its unplayable without a maniac roll
Yeah I figured
Checking infantry lasguns perks on the vet survivalist guid
I realised that I've got a pretty damn good roll
checking it
they forgot to put maniac in the guide
lul
anyway
yeah
anything remotely decent is fine honestly
jus tdont run carapace (it does fuckall to crushers) or groaner damage or something meme like that
I also should probably get rid of my helbore build
weakspot damage/crit dmg is also always very bad
so just ignore those too on anything
dont think there is a single weapon it is decent on
Tried it more and it's not my cup of tea for sure
Maybe I should try it with mark 1 helbore
mark1 is the easiest to use and build
Since I can already do auric with both my infantry lasguns
were you trying mk3
Mk2
ah
mk3 helbore my beloved
if you dont like using the bayonet
i would just pick another gun
helbore is
underwhelming
if you dont factor in the bayonet
imo
no i mean
if you dont actively leverage the bayonet
other sniper-esque guns just do better
But you won't convince me use mk3
Playing helbore feels like playing bolt staff sienna, since you have infinite ammo
I've got a purple laspistol
they're similar to lasguns but i find them much more flexible
I just need to make it gold and slap on the infernus for it
nah
Infernus isn't necessary
dumdum/ghost is best for laspistol
it just helps with boss damage sometimes
I've got dumdum
I see
ghost makes you immune to shooters
Infernus is meh, but it is nice when it picks off weaken elites or specials that barely got away
Should I get unarmored or maniac as second perk for laspistol?
Reassuringly Accurate can be funny for born leader memes
Maniac
mine is unarmored
Helps you deal with Ragers
Maniac and crit is what Im running on pistol
flak/maniac as usual

its a fun weapon
you're mobile enough to avoid melee and ghost make syou immune to ranged damage
I do wanna try using the bolter
It has potential but feels awful to use
I was rarely switching off it due to shittiest pull out speed ever
Oh yeah for sure
there's tech
Bolter feels better as a zealot but you can make it work with surgi
to pull out bolter very fast
roddit actually useful!?
tl;dw: just have at least 1 bullet empty in the mag
then when you swap
reload to cancel the swap animation -> sprint to cancel the reload animation
You have a lot of options as vet
folding shovel is exceptionally easy to build and decent enough tat (almost) anything
if you want a quick weapon to make
Knife is great if you can use it as well
yes
but its pretty annoying to build
so i wouldn tsuggest it to someone with no melees to work with
if that makes sense
Pretty reliant on blessings yeah
4 important stats to roll, mobility still wants to be above 50, 1 blessing is absolutely mandatory (uncanny)
So far melee's I run with my builds
Laspistol mk10 + Powersword mk6
Kantrael + Shovel mk3
Helbore mk2 + Rashad
Bolter + Standard shovel
Still easier than rashad then
ya
it is
because the perks are more flexible
but its similar
rashad has the same stat rolls 
Ill stick to the ps6 
I pull out rashad for literally only one reason
also rashad only has bm/headtaker with deci kinda being shitty but at least knife has riposte/precog/mercy
Crushers
Standard shovel has stagger as special, really good against armor
Good Take a Swing synergy
It should be noted, the special is good at staggering armored targets. But the weapon does absolute dog damage to armor unless you take uncanny.
"why would you take a shovel?"
does deadshot activate on plasma charge shot?
no
Some people just don’t know
That’s why you see flesh tearer lacerate
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, oh wait, we're the other team...
Yes
More reddit gold 
Tbf revolver is much less egregious than Plasma
Can anyone check what the MG1a’s firerate is
Plasma needs a heavy nerf, the other OP stuff needs a more moderate one
Just cleave & ammo usage is enough
I still think Plasma LMB is too strong for what it is
But maybe cleave would fix that
Yea, nerf cleave & ammo usage
Drop cleave to 12, ammo usage from 3 to 4 per shot
Buff charged shot ammo usage from 9 to 6
make the vent toughness drain 1.5x maybe
Just cleave & ammo usage changes would be enough
Plasma is easier to balance than revolver
It would be easy to ruin revolver
And I don't want thay
Zarona feels absolutely great and not oppressive imo
But it is too strong
But not in the "nobody else has anything at all to do" sense
My hot take is increase Zarona ads time
it is pretty snappy
when do we get the meltagun?
Imo just make the Zarona bullet size more reasonable
It's a precision weapon that you don't have to be precise with
Anyone can check rn?
its actually instant if your ignore the animation and ads shoot, from what i know from other's video
3.64??
Thx
Is that per second?
And that's the medium fire rate one too
Fatshark wants us to destroy our mice
That’s a pretty slow firerate actually
Don't even try the Mg4 without the autofire mod
The slowest is 2.50 or something
Oh, it isn't a simple shots-per-second then?
It’s based on shots per second I believe
Although the numbers could be off a bit due to frame rounding
In any case this game’s semi auto firerates are pretty slow overall
It's that with some kind of multiplier I guess
MG12 at 2.5rps is just 150rpm
MGXII feels way slower than 2.5/s though
I am a eurotwat so not sure how real guns really feel/work

This probably varies based on your fps experience but a lot of pvp fps games have semi-auto guns that shoot at 400~500rpm (6.66~8.33 rps)
But PvP tends towards burstier engagements tbf rather than half an hour slogs
there isnt any half hour slogs in darktide
time to kill for 90% of the weapons is fairly low
with few exceptions such as recon
if not only recon weapons
/bot
why do people need a mod to use this gun
it gets hard to aim shooting as fast as you can if people arent point blank
Anti-big dude wants rapid shooting
Mg4 is fine without auto fire. I was used to it because I guess I got gamer hands immune to carpal tunnel. But I wouldn't uninstall the mod now that I have it. Even played gunker laspistol and was fine with the clicking
Because if you're gonna lower your RoF you use the Mg1
if thtas how you think just use the blue infantry lasgun
I question what your team is doing in some of these scoreboards. Nobody can break past 400k dmg this patch in my games
game is now bugged and have less opponent then usuall + 1 person join in mid game
why does it assign you a score
i dont understand the question
you mean weapons or just a scoreboard
how does it show me a weapon stats and all ?

anyone got a link to a bolter build?
some guy on reddit posted some bolter and other 'misunderstood' weapons tips yesterday and everyone in the comments said he was delusional but i'd like to give bolter a whirl
maybe some darktide? i wanna try the bolter
Reddit usually has pretty bad takes
i would remove demo team and focus fire for that sweet +20% reload speed on the top right.
ty both
should i be mag dumping with the bolter or tapping heads?
i got surgical 3 on it
tapping heads is more ammo efficient.
mag dump is the panic button when a bunch of crushers/bulwars/ragers/boss shows up
sincec itll lay down a huge field of supression/stagger in the area
''buff everything'' grindset
I made a bit more progress
I would say ghost is also a nice blessing. Being immune to a shotgun party is great.
So DA/Ghost in second row?
I’m fine with that
Like yea Deadly Accurate is for the max amount of dmg but being immune to ranged fire through just headshots is also great.
Alr updated
Why not target down instead of -0.25s stam regen delay for stam regen
Would you recommend any accatran on a VoC build? Are they good atm?
only recon you could probably make work is the VIId with exec stance, but even thats pretty underwhelming
Nah, sounds bad lol
Will maybe try the laspistol
Tried helbore, is not bad, but the charge... Not my thing, I... I hate that shit
Any recommendation for a weapon that is not a zarona and plasma?
CIAG is the other member of the Holy trinity
mk v?
Columnus Infantry Autogun. Think it's the Mark V yeah
meta currenty is columnus & plasma
Every other gun
Ia lasgun is good
ilas and iag are decent weapons as well
try avoiding shotguns, shredder pistol, and recons
Helbore is fun too
agripina iag is a nice gun to shoot
Works with a variety of different builds
has pretty good reach unlike ciag
Ciag reach is pretty solvable imo
With longshot, 10% rending and deadshot the range penalties basically dont exist
Its not as nice as one tapping gunners across the map
not that its a problem
but agriag is a more stable platform and probably won't get nerfed which I can't say certain for ciag
Yar
I think the main issue is crit strings
Fs needs to figure out what they want to do with that mechanic
you don't neccessarily have to play the crit game on iags
their weakspot damage scaling is also insane
with mf keystone
but that ofc brings problems with mf keystone and well, you have to actually hit headshots
And with E Stance
(Or with SG and DD on psyker which is basically the same thing but different lol)
Going full max dps on CIAG feels amazing
And you at least have a weakness unlike being plasma main character
With VoC and Focus Target
I think some of exe-mf path's problems are just veteran talent tree problems
You can do a pretty nice build with it but you lose some toughness nodes at the top
so both infil and exe have too many nodes and they are side ults that have to also go middle for must haves like grenade talents, cd reduction, tdr
ignore weapons etc
if you wanna just go max CIAG, I think this is the way to go
i like the helbore but what I really hate is the fact that the sniper weapon only has iron sights
when the default lasgun gets holos
Infantry lasgun is more of a long-range weapon than the hellbore tbh
it has better long range damage modifiers
WUH
also has worse hipfire
i've been using the helbore as a sniper weapon to pop elites and specials and just mashing my bayonet when the horde gets close
still, it has no reason for its iron sights to be so bad
I think the 6s cdr on special kill should be an executioner stance branch node
Rather than generic vet node
no deadshot sustain on this
doesn't even need a proper holo, just ring sights or something
you'll constantly eat the deadshot penalty
Yeah, it's not ideal in that sense
But seemed the better sacrifice to make
It works at least some of the time
Take stamina curios
At least 1
What they could do is remove tac awareness and then add both exec and infil their own cd reduction node ,while also building some of the existing nodes directly back into the ults. Like both of the side ults have 4 nodes some of which should just be baseline features of those ults
Yeah there's a lot they can do
Also give people a way to sustain mf
Outside of hs kills
imo the movement shit should just go away entirely
mf should be %100 timing based
and rebalanced around that
Slower weapons should generate more stacks on it
CIAG is the best weapon for it atm
Which feels odd
It's funny the Marksman tree best weapon is a full auto spray and pray weapon 
Virgin side skills having 4 nodes
Chad VoC with 1 value node
You get its spread down to almost nothing with ES though
But nobody runs ES
Except me from what it feels like
I use ES mostly on Plasma
you only run exe to juice certain guns to hit new bps
yikes fdgkh
You ran it. You loved it didn't you
somehow I was still the top dps in that team by a large margin lmao
ever since the news about auric spawns being broken
I'm getting teammates that do literally nothing productive
Gotta do this one
I mean why fire team though
You know..."hey guys I brought recon exe w/o surv...just because
"
thats just malicious 
CoD gets a proper Kasrkin outfit before DT does, hilarious. I guess everyone at FS is asleep at the wheel, or Vet would've had that + a helgun by now
Smokes, Exe, Recon/Knife no Surv
I only like the helmet.
whatever fatshark is cooking better be big lmao
after this long of a wait with no keeping expectations in check
Psyker themed outfits for Vet
I think its the silence that creates the problem for them
Posting some concept art of future update content would be cool
they did post something of a sewer level
normally any functional live service game would do that
like a year ago xd
Great, cant wait for yet another map with tight, industrial corridors coated in heretic filth. Not seen that before!
like little teasers here and there not to just let people know you're doing something but also manage expectations
managing expectations is the important part imo
i suppose fatshark figures they have more to lose with communicating
Even the bare minimum expectations arent low enough for FS these days
and frankly I agree that they should just be quiet
probably, I'm leaning towards whatever they cooking gonna be disappointing so they are just quiet
or its the opposite but odds of that is low
whatever comes out is what comes out
seems like they're sorting stuff and if they plan on fixing core stuff, blessing/crafting & weapon balancing would be the next step and i wouldn't be surprised if that takes some time
and having to choose between nerfing weapons or buffing enemy hp pools to the point where we have like 6k hp crushers
I think its a bit too late for a crafting rework
I don't think so
should have been done before everyone left
whoever remains probably already suffered through it and no longer gives a shit
I think improving the existing system while adding new system to grind would be good
i certainly do still give a shit
its not like there is any new content to burn resources for
No one is gonna come back to the game over them re-doing crafting (again)
and like, i really do not like the perk/blessing system
that really should be reworked
Improve current system and add red weapons and 80-100 stat grind fest
It should have been done before
not just a rework no
TRASH the entire crafting system
And make perks and blessings trivial
thats what should have happened
so eliminate the crafting entirely?
make a different system yes
i like my progression so i want them to keep crafting
well that's part of what i want them to rework
there is no interesting combinations to be made
for about %99 of the weapons you use the very well defined blessing/perk combo and almost never diverge from that path
Same i like progression
If you expect the worst, it only leaves more room to be pleasantly surprised 
But i think they can allow the progression in other ways
Who cares about progression
Like through the 80-100 grind
its boring
Or red weapons
like if they wanted to give me progression they could just say ''collect 10k plasteel&dia and you get a new weapon''
but they don't do that either
yes and that's part of what i want them to change as well...?
i'm speaking very broadly for a reason, and you keep taking it as if i'm talking about something specific
I don't think so
I think that it's never too late
i do
Since the game fundamentally is good
as somebody who will be planning on playing the game for more, i want them to fix some stuff
yeah, gr8 gameplay and just the stuff around that needs patching up
its not content, I don't give a shit about anything but content
I'm playing less cuz lack of content and lack of progression
But I'll play more if there's shit to do
Or stuff to grind for
yeah you don't have to give a shit but you also don't have to make generalizing statements and assumptions about how everyone else doesn't care
''hey guys we fixed crafting'' I literally do not give a shit
Cuz i like the game
Good for you then
I do give a shit
So not "everyone" didn't give a shit
I already went through that suffering and so did most people who still play this PoS
easing the RnG doesn't solve the fact that about %99 of crafting combinations are pointless
its all fillers
its all timesinks
yeah thus we rework the system in its entirety
this crafting system is un-sal-va-ge-able
and not just the one part of the rng
do you know what a rework is
You could stop playing if you want. If the game feel very grindy
there is only one shooter for 40k on this level
so
no you cant just stop playing
thats not a rework thats called trashing it
Space marine
worst point in history
space marine isnt even out
and the old one is old by now
Not space marine 2
the old ones old
i said on this level
anyway its orcs and marines
some ppl prefer playing a guardsman or psyker
this game is the only game that does what it does
no other game out there does it
so even when not liking aspects of it, you cant leave if you want it

And shoota, blood and teef
oh yeah
an orc
i wanna play a dumb ugly green git
yeah
thank you
ill throw away my krieger
i can play gotrsjcieok
the deztroya
Is funny they are inspire blood gore and cannoli
it's still going to be called a crafting system and it'll have some slots, whether they'll be called perks/blessings or whatever name, and since we're still following the same structure, i'd say that a rework is a fair word for it
point is: just because someone criticises a game doesnt mean they can find what they want elsewhere
thats the dumbest point ever to make
like
for real
stop making that point
and i don't expect them to radically rip it out
1 sushi restaurant in town
criticise the cooking
go somewhere else then

since i figure that accomodating a transition from the current crafting system to a new one is a consideration as well
thats what should have been done at like month one of release when everyone got fed up and left
The bare minimum they would need to deliver if they want to turn the rapidly declining playerbase around. In one update;
- crafting improvements, get rid of at least 2 layers of RNG, let people trade the resources interchangeably, let them buy crafting mats with gold
- add a social area to the hub (that already exists, which is the cantina/bar they showed in a cutscene). Let players do some minigames there, maybe gamble their resources against each other or something
- add new weapons (no, not more variants, actual weapons). Meltagun, heavy flamer/bolter for Ogryn, helgun, 2 handed power/force sword etc
- a ton more outfits to the free shop, we already know there's a massive selection of unused cosmetics just sitting in the files gathering dust, most of which are completely done too (and many of which existed in the game before release, like the box art cosmetics that streamers had access to in the closed beta)
- add a new area outside the hive city, with new map types. Exploring ruined cities in the desert, just something that isnt yet more of the same interior we've seen for 2+ years now
- new class, maybe an admech character of some description which would let them add a bunch of new cool stuff like rad-weapons
Realistically though, none of this will be in the update. It will be yet another 1 map and 2-4 weapon VARIATIONS that just slightly alter the gameplay of a weapon we've already had. Not to mention it will be full of bugs and break several things they fixed previously. Just like the last big patch did.
sure but darktide was also incomplete in general at that stage
it still is 
they released the game early and got owned for that
yeah i just mean very incomplete
My expectations is that theyll simplify the grind for the existing system so it's much easier to get to where you want in terms of weapons
its not exciting
no one gives a shit that payday 3 is trying at fixing its shit now
yeah it's not content
Like red weapons or improving the stats
thats how live service market is
The grind like retention design from destiny 2
but it's still something that sticks out sorely
i mean is darktide a live service game
The difference is that payday is a bad game fundamentally lol
at this point, if it were ever called a live service game by the devs, i wouldn't believe it
are you telling me it isn't?
i wouldn't consider it one
you're actually just gullable
Payday2 had the same issue at launch, but it was a good game so patches came, it got better and ppl liked it
wha
its a live service game dude
I wouldn't consider it a live service.
So i think improvements will make it better
''this is not a live service model''
It's monetized like a live service game, just without all the content updates
its exactly identical to any other live service game
i am damned to hell 😔
You okay arco
we haven't really gotten any particular content updates and it's been fatshark patching up the game so far so that's why i don't consider it one
like all the other failed live service games
its still a live service game
failure to deliver is the selling point of most of them anyhow
I think team of Darktide is bit medium and patching take time for them to code and solve the bugs
Like what was their big patch after 3 months? hotfixes (most of which broke even more stuff) and changing the activation on power swords so you can do it mid-combo now. Whoopdefuckingdoo. Here's me clapping enthusiastically 
Meanwhile they keep shitting out 20 dollar sets on their rotating FOMO store
If the game wasn't online only, I guess I wouldn't consider it live service since beyond the server the only service I'm getting is cosmetics. The game gets updates sometimes as far as the rollout of content, I wouldn't even liken it to other successful live services
none of the sets are anything interesting either
nothing worth 20$
It's hilarious to me how they launched the Krieg sets as "Premium cosmetics" so they could jack up the price even more
To be fair theyre swedish
And how many times have they had to pach the greatcoat for vet now?
3 times?
Because of clipping issues
So their devs prob work like 10 hours a week
Very fucking Premium my guys
Theyre not an american dev company
That can churn out updates
Heh
And god forbid you complain about that
premium btw
Cuz someone will be like
I wouldn't even care about clipping
"I'd rather the devs have a good work environment than have more updates"
if they didn't have the gull to sell me recolours
they charge full money for recoloured assets
and then expect good will from me
For me personally since I'm a customer i want them to slave away
And make more content
Full price recolors, rotating shop of recolors, lacking earnables, price increases. All these things turn me away from giving them more money
2 weapon colors for +1 year out. 2. And they are default models with the recolor. So you may not even have the gun model you're using with the recolor.
Just go play helldiver 2
I'm already playing it 
75 hours damn time flies
feel like at least 20 of those hours are sitting afk in ship waiting for people to get through first week queues
Same, me and my friends stopped playing DT and moved over to HD2 instead.
playing 7 to 9 is high enough intensity to be fun
I don't need a gear treadmill to enjoy games
but earnable premium cash is nice
Eh it got boring after 10 or so runs
I have fashion stuff to look forward to
Also there's been leaks for tons of new content for that game, vehicles, walkers, teleport backpacks. All kinds of stuff
I personally just wait starship trooper
sounds like a you thing, I think the game is pretty ok
weapon balance needs some work thats all
There’s numerous weapons and stuff in the Warbonds that there’s no way you have unlocked by that point, so I mean technically but not really? Lmao
its impossible to unlock everything by lvl20 lol
unless you do the mortar farm maybe
just bought this one, any laspistol pros? never used them much
Hmm I'm more interested in the gameplay
Than the weapon unlocks
That's a really solid off the bat
So the parts that excite me is strategem unlocks
the gameplay is fine
Darktide definitely has a lot more content than HD2
And enemy types
Weapons directly change and affect gameplay/strategy but aight
And the enemy variation is pretty boring
bro what
Change infested. I value ghost on laspistols
Not really because railgun is so op kek
there are so many unique enemies all with their own unique gimmicks
Not really? There are like 10 enemy types per faction
Yeah but I hate have use railgun to kill automaton on 7-8
And realistically its like 2-3 of the heavily armored ones that really matter
I was just gonna say you’re probably bored because you exclusively use Breaker+Railgun like the meta nerds😭try something else and actually enjoy the game instead of just rushing to the end with the best viable build and then complaining there’s nothing to do lmao
I love machine gun blast everything
This is a very silly statement to make
Who are you to tell me how i should enjoy games
lmao again what? Just the basic troopers on automaton front have like 5-6 different varieties
Im anti meta nerd and the game just has a few solid weapons right now and strategem balance is also very wonky, but enemy variety is basically the same every mission, I think its best to wait a content update or two
big crit/headshot modifiers. So going crit chance and landing headshots results in huge dmg
I think itll get better as well
how do you mean?
Theres also just like... Only 3-4 mission modifiers
Not at all, you literally didn’t even consider the 5-6 weapons you definitely don’t have unlocked yet as gameplay changing options at all because I guarantee the breaker hasn’t left your slot since you unlocked
that’s how you make a game boring faster than everyone else who’s still playing it and enjoying it fine
Scramble, slower strategem cooldown, etc
I dont even use the breaker son
I use the pump because i like it
Considering you’ve already exposed yourself as a Railgun meta sweat I doubt that greatly but alright man
what should I put? ranged weakspot damage?
I'm gonna block you. You're not adding anything to this except personal attacks and everyone else whos looking at this conversation can see how much of a little bitch you're acting
lasgun damage profile is so strange I dont really know what do to
Well go your own flow
Check damage breakdown
If anything does high damage to certain types don’t need change
Ye i think itll get better with time, once theres more ways to make the gameplay different
For calling you out because you’re complaining about a game that you’re just wrong about? There’s literally still content to earn after 7/8/9 and hitting level 20 but when I pointed that out to you you said “no because the Railgun is just the best”
Lmao, like good riddance, we don’t need meta scum like you for the war effort
Will prob play more once more content drops
you got troopers, raiders, marauders, jetpack fuckers that self detonate, commissars, striders, berserkers packs, shield devastator, rocket pod devastator, basic devastator, autocannon hulk, rocketpod hulk, flamethrower hulk, regular tank, HMG tank, dropships that you can also kill, stationary cannon towers, AA emplacements, artillery emplacements..
This is just one faction 
you gotta relax dude, its just not a lot of content and very mixed balance right now, its a fun game but better not burn out on it now while its at its worst
Dw i already blocked him lol
same for most games, not burn out at launch, wait a larger update or 2 and then jump in
“One blocked message” -dis
Hes just unreasonable and emotional
Im very glad I didnt play darktide at launch much
Ye i agree
Dt is a good game
But if you're not enjoying it
Take a break and come back when theres more content
Ngl against everything but like tanks, the hulks and the jumpers
There is competition comparing dt and hd2
You just shoot them until they die lol
Or call drop pod upon them
It is fun but after 10 or so games it did get old for me
I'm not sure how to solve that
Anti-met ais okayyy but like
BALANCE PLS
if we're gonna simplify things like that about every enemy except rager packs in darktide can be whacked to death with a combat axe
Tbh i usually dont block ppl
Usually ppl can stay civil
Why you always use that emoji
Love feeling relaxed 
I disagree with him on everythinf
the chaff in helldivers is significantly more of a threat than in darktide
But we're not out here flming each other
this is not an emotional take its just how it is with their ability to call in reinforcements or just instakill you
To be fair not every chaff enemy in helldivers can kill you...
for perkss i would take flak + maniac
but I am understanding why people hate hunters now
They make it literally nearly impossible to break engagement
Hunters are annoying lol
hunters are pretty obnoxious in packs
Are you guy talking about automaton
no tyrmaids
its good practice to have someone with a chaff killing setup
like a grenade launcher
It also helps to clear out outposts to reduce the number of patrols on the map in general
Cuz getting reinforcements called on u really really sucks
I always try to clear out hunter spwn holes and outposts on the way if i can
its kinda like darktide's pre-class rework that you have someone with a railgun for special killing and someone with GL to do chaff and spawner clearing
I think what the game lacks right now is weapon balancing
This is true
Energy weapons are dog
so the viable combinations at diff 7-9 boils down to the same few guns and specials
Muh machine gun 😭
the weakspot mechanics are far more detailed than darktide however
The fact that the breaker hasn’t been changed yet is mind blowing to me, like how did a full automatic shotgun with a 16 round mag doing 50 more damage than a PUMP SLUG SHOTGUN ever make sense in someone’s head
#gamingcommunity #ps5 #xbox
Helldivers 2 xbox reinforcements
Helldivers 2 memes
Helldivers 2 melevelon creek
Helldivers 2 automatons
I think the other thing is that armor is too prevalent and an issue that must be dealt with
While "specialists"
Like flamer, bomber type enemies dont matter
In hd2
I would like more enemies like the hunter
well automaton front you got the jetpack fuckers
Where it wasnt just a fat tanky armored enemy
I think dev want keep it simple
Yeah they annoying lmao
they do pretty well at zoning you out of comfy cover
its a lot more punishing on bot front
Smoke grenade in hd2 when
because being out of cover sucks in bot front
there is one yeah
Which is suck I assume ya say
never used it so I cant tell how good it is
if it breaks engagements that would be pretty good
the game is all about breaking needless fights so you can get shit done in time
But it would take away blowing up spawner
Its actually not bad lol
Works really well in solos and duos
Can GL blow up spawner?
light armors are also ideal for this reason in solo/duo
you can run off to cut engagements
yes
I’m a pure juggernaut fan
being able to survive a rocket is nice
I don't run the shield pack
so I make a trade-off there
There’s YouTuber say rocket count as projectile or kinetic not explosive
Idk I survive a rocket fine
I dont think damage scales with difficulty
It is health scale with difficulty?
Scale numbers of enemy?
CoD getting Karskin operator before DT 
CoD is doodoo
@abstract quartz
the sad moment when it honestly looks better too
Seeing this makes me weep
Any ideas for a MK 7 Shovel build?
cod can eat a chungus 😌
I'm gonna say it but folks are gonna be mad that scion armour will release
And look like scion armour
