I thinks I would need advisor for game developement. Designer sound like manager role

#

I really want be designer instead

#

Writing game documents

#

That stuff important I learned

winter grove
#

Oh wait I forgot about you

#

Keep up the good work

timid otter
#

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.

bitter turtle
#

btw

#

i finally found a use for serrated blade

#

on something that isnt knife

#

to pretend i have bloodletter IV instead of III KEKW_ogryn

timid otter
#

200 extra damage

bitter turtle
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

umbral scaffold
#

The Spykarium girl really doesn't like the Loose Cannon lol

tame lodge
#

Sefoni

umbral scaffold
#

Yeah, her

winter grove
#

If military manual says Empreror is god, then he is a god

#

Simple as

junior needle
#

When yet another knife post pops up on the subreddit and you see people recommending lacerate staregryn

winter grove
#

I used lacerate when I was new

#

Funny how I didn't realise how bad it was

umbral scaffold
winter grove
#

Zealot mains are fine as long as they're not knife zealots

white minnow
#

shame that i don't like the pathing for loner

bitter turtle
#

Using the bodyshot talent on a weakspot weapon is peak builds

#

Who wants crit or rending on a knife anyway

magic trout
bitter turtle
#

Spam light bodyshots all day

bitter turtle
magic trout
junior needle
winter grove
junior needle
#

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

winter grove
#

But only zealot gives them a way to survive

#

Fuck whoever thought Loner was a good idea

magic trout
winter grove
#

Yeah those are Loner users

bitter turtle
winter grove
#

Nobody likes those

bitter turtle
#

With my lacerate flesh tearer knife

winter grove
#

Why use lacerate and see something bleed to death

bitter turtle
#

0 finesse on knife because bodyshots only thumbsup_ogryn

winter grove
#

If you can just shoot someone

thin flame
#

hey so im looking at the helbore guns, which one's the most popular?

bitter turtle
winter grove
#

Veteran can be very good at melee but I am playing veteran for pew pew and not shank shank

bitter turtle
#

Mk3 has a really bad bayonet

#

Mk2 is harder to build for certain breakpoints

thin flame
#

yeah im seeing footage and the bayonet looks whack

bitter turtle
#

Mk1 is a happy medium that keeps the good bayonet

magic trout
bitter turtle
#

It was nerfed

#

Twice

thin flame
#

ahhh

#

RIP

bitter turtle
#

It's no longer good for hordes bc no cleave

#

But for like ragers

thin flame
#

is it still good at single target?

winter grove
#

Doesn't mean bayonets are useless

bitter turtle
#

Still should be great

winter grove
#

Well except mk3

#

It's useless

bitter turtle
#

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

winter grove
#

I run helbore mk2 and rashad

magic trout
bitter turtle
#

I'm talking about the bayonet

magic trout
junior needle
winter grove
#

Honestly I wanted to try bolter but I don't have a good build for it

tame lodge
#

Point and shoot

tough tiger
#

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

junior needle
#

Yeah with that handling on the bolter you need the space

#

They should unjank the weapon

tame lodge
#

But muh lore accuracy

#

Fr though

tiny summit
#

Or add jank to more weapons whatthefuck_heresy

hybrid torrent
#

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.

hollow ibex
#

the spread recovery on braced really feels... bad

last pewter
#

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

hybrid torrent
last pewter
#

I actually haven't even used automatic weapons on Veteran with the stance since the talent tree lmao

serene sage
#

I'm sensing new patch coming up soon

#

in a few weeks

#

then ill come back and play more Darktide thumbsup_ogryn

last pewter
#

ye I feel like that's the general sentiment rn

frank basin
#

Foxhope return

#

Hi

serene sage
#

hi!

#

I've been lurking

last pewter
#

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

frank basin
last pewter
#

not a build I'd recommend for everyone lol

serene sage
#

I kinda accepted that the game is just gonna be this popular, no more, no less

frank basin
#

And people would yapping about helldiver 2

serene sage
serene sage
#

but you can play both, they offer different things
i thoroughly enjoy darktide combat more though

frank basin
#

I haven’t play any games since I sleep daily or lay on bed

#

And discord chat

elder fiber
#

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

frank basin
#

Shittide?

elder fiber
#

Helldivers 2 didn't do much for me idk

frank basin
#

I sit and wait for starship troopers major updates

serene sage
#

well im not here to talk about HD2 anyway 😄

#

since the patch my connection hasn't been great though

#

anyone having the same problem?

frank basin
#

Bad connection you say?

elder fiber
#

I've had just a few hiccups but I know its been worse for others

frank basin
#

2014 error code?

serene sage
#

no, it's just lag spikes and stutter

#

which happens before but especially recently, not outright disconnection though

frank basin
#

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

frank basin
#

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)

serene sage
#

it's either my Internet or the server I think

frank basin
#

Living east coat hurricane seasonal country

junior needle
#

Both have the same cleave values on lights

#

But 3 has an attack that just does more damage

last pewter
#

Ive been mostly heavying with it

#

they feel better than the lights by a mile

junior needle
#

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

woeful ibex
#

uhm

#

I guess another shitpost gun

winter grove
#

Fellas

#

What perks and blessings should I put on Kantrael mark4

junior needle
#

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.

winter grove
#

Which basically just spam and win with mk4 and be good at headshotting with mk1

#

Essentially turning darktide into call of duty

proud marsh
#

yeah now make one for the accatran

winter grove
#

Nuh uh

#

Kantrael Mk4 is lowest I'll go

#

Accatran is just bleh

proud marsh
#

They do bullpups so dirty

winter grove
#

Just like irl

#

Bullpup lasgun sucks

junior needle
#

Surely they will finally unfuck recons next patch, haha

late hatch
#

We can only hope

#

I miss the rapid fire lasgun pew pews

blissful flame
#

does deathspitter actually stack? It looks like it does according to my hud. Have i been going so long thinking it didnt' stack?

trim hemlock
blissful flame
#

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

late hatch
bitter turtle
#

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)

blissful flame
#

so deathspitter would actually be preferred? i've forgotten the actual percentages offhand

junior needle
#

For fixing that gun, switch out both perks. That's how you'll get the most consistent value.

#

Flak/maniac.

bitter turtle
#

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

junior needle
#

Yes, ff has slightly higher damage values. But it apparently works like anoint in blood now so that tapers off quite quickly.

winter grove
#

How bad is this lil fella?

#

Ran through auric damnation without picking up ammo packs so ammo stat shouldn't be bad

bitter turtle
#

im gonna guess

#

that is a lastgun IV

#

and the blessings are

#

headhunter deadly accurate

#

the perks are

#

uh

winter grove
#

Oh yeah it's

bitter turtle
#

pox/groaner and specialist damage

#

!!!

#

am i right

winter grove
#

yes

bitter turtle
#

wai tno

#

poxwalker/groaner

#

and ELITE

#

right

#

no

#

idk

winter grove
#

no that's

#

pox/groaner and crit dmg from long range

bitter turtle
#

ok swap thos eout

#

cause those are big trash

#

blessings are already good

winter grove
bitter turtle
#

gun stats are good

#

oh

#

is it falter

winter grove
#

Falter yeah

bitter turtle
#

damn

winter grove
#

One with stagger

bitter turtle
#

that's not very good

#

you can probably

winter grove
#

Yup

#

I've got tier 2 deadly accurate

bitter turtle
#

falter -> DA
groaner -> something better

winter grove
#

sitting there

bitter turtle
#

and cope with crit damage

winter grove
#

Should I take flak or maniac instead of pox

bitter turtle
#

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

blissful flame
#

late but thanks for the deathspitter advice, and my plan was definitely to swap out both perks for flack and maniac, thank you!

winter grove
#

I wish penances for gas mask vet helmet wasn't so grindy

#

Fucking

#

"Finish 50 missions again dipshit"

late hatch
winter grove
#

I already finished 50 missions

#

Basically I just have to play only veteran for the penance

late hatch
winter grove
#

At least I don't have to explicitly do those for the helmet

lost portal
#

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.

winter grove
#

In his defence, groin does have major arteries

late hatch
#

afaik they all go to rank 5

winter grove
#

Also

#

Mk3 or Mk7 shovel?

late hatch
#

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

winter grove
#

At least I've fully done the For the Emperor related penances

#

Most of them accidebtal

#

Except for like

#

Certain ones

late hatch
#

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

bitter turtle
#

Mk7 has true horizontal sweeps on heavy

#

That is basically the main difference

winter grove
#

How soon should I look for a replacement?

#

Deadly Accurate 2 and ranged crit dmg really bother me

lyric dock
#

YOu can always upgrade deadly accurate if get a better one from Melk or crafting random las guns

winter grove
#

Oh true that

#

Otherwise, is the lasgun usable?

bitter turtle
#

It's usable

winter grove
#

I also do wanna know the dump stat

bitter turtle
#

But I'm not really a fan of lasguns period

winter grove
#

In case I wanna make a better one

bitter turtle
#

Mobility and ammo probably

#

I cannot imagine

#

Running out of ammo

#

On a lasgun

winter grove
#

Did some buying in bulk, is this one kinda better?

#

Prob should made screenshot like this

bitter turtle
#

Statwise?

#

It's fine

#

About the same really

#

So just roll the hadron slots and pray

winter grove
#

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

bitter turtle
#

unarmored is fine

#

the maniac damage is already stupid high

#

not like its unplayable without a maniac roll

winter grove
#

Yeah I figured

#

Checking infantry lasguns perks on the vet survivalist guid

#

I realised that I've got a pretty damn good roll

bitter turtle
#

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

winter grove
#

I also should probably get rid of my helbore build

bitter turtle
#

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

winter grove
#

Tried it more and it's not my cup of tea for sure

#

Maybe I should try it with mark 1 helbore

bitter turtle
#

mark1 is the easiest to use and build

winter grove
#

Since I can already do auric with both my infantry lasguns

bitter turtle
#

were you trying mk3

winter grove
#

Mk2

bitter turtle
#

ah

echo parcel
#

mk3 helbore my beloved

bitter turtle
#

if you dont like using the bayonet

#

i would just pick another gun

#

helbore is

#

underwhelming

#

if you dont factor in the bayonet

#

imo

winter grove
#

Bayonet isn't the problem I think

#

I think at least

bitter turtle
#

no i mean

#

if you dont actively leverage the bayonet

#

other sniper-esque guns just do better

winter grove
#

But you won't convince me use mk3

echo parcel
#

Playing helbore feels like playing bolt staff sienna, since you have infinite ammo

bitter turtle
#

might want to try the laspistols

#

as well

#

tbh

winter grove
#

I've got a purple laspistol

bitter turtle
#

they're similar to lasguns but i find them much more flexible

winter grove
#

I just need to make it gold and slap on the infernus for it

bitter turtle
#

nah

echo parcel
#

Infernus isn't necessary

bitter turtle
#

dumdum/ghost is best for laspistol

echo parcel
#

it just helps with boss damage sometimes

winter grove
#

I've got dumdum

bitter turtle
#

infernus adds a negligible amount of boss dmg

#

and not much else

winter grove
#

I see

bitter turtle
#

ghost makes you immune to shooters

winter grove
#

I don't think I've got a good ghost ngl

#

But thanks for the heads-up

lyric dock
#

Infernus is meh, but it is nice when it picks off weaken elites or specials that barely got away

winter grove
#

Should I get unarmored or maniac as second perk for laspistol?

echo parcel
#

Reassuringly Accurate can be funny for born leader memes

bitter turtle
#

maniac ideally

#

unarmored is ok though

lyric dock
#

Maniac

bitter turtle
#

mine is unarmored

lyric dock
#

Helps you deal with Ragers

bitter turtle
#

andim too cheapt o make another

#

but ideally iw ould have taken

echo parcel
#

Maniac and crit is what Im running on pistol

bitter turtle
#

flak/maniac as usual

winter grove
#

Ok

#

I've got flak already so I am really set on the laspistol too

bitter turtle
#

its a fun weapon

#

you're mobile enough to avoid melee and ghost make syou immune to ranged damage

winter grove
#

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

lyric dock
#

If you can hit the head

#

It'll put in the work

winter grove
#

Oh yeah for sure

bitter turtle
#

there's tech

echo parcel
#

Bolter feels better as a zealot but you can make it work with surgi

bitter turtle
#

to pull out bolter very fast

winter grove
#

I know

#

Oh

#

Pull out

#

I thought recoil mitigation

bitter turtle
#

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

winter grove
#

Oh yeah I did that

#

With helbore

#

My only concern so far is I need better melees

echo parcel
#

You have a lot of options as vet

bitter turtle
#

folding shovel is exceptionally easy to build and decent enough tat (almost) anything

#

if you want a quick weapon to make

echo parcel
#

Knife is great if you can use it as well

bitter turtle
#

yes

#

but its pretty annoying to build

#

so i wouldn tsuggest it to someone with no melees to work with

#

if that makes sense

echo parcel
#

Pretty reliant on blessings yeah

bitter turtle
#

4 important stats to roll, mobility still wants to be above 50, 1 blessing is absolutely mandatory (uncanny)

winter grove
#

So far melee's I run with my builds
Laspistol mk10 + Powersword mk6
Kantrael + Shovel mk3
Helbore mk2 + Rashad
Bolter + Standard shovel

bitter turtle
#

ya

#

it is

#

because the perks are more flexible

#

but its similar

#

rashad has the same stat rolls KEKW_ogryn

wanton dawn
#

Ill stick to the ps6 whatthefuck_heresy

winter grove
#

I pull out rashad for literally only one reason

bitter turtle
#

also rashad only has bm/headtaker with deci kinda being shitty but at least knife has riposte/precog/mercy

winter grove
#

Crushers

tame lodge
#

Standard shovel has stagger as special, really good against armor

bitter turtle
#

standard shovel is nice too

#

lower lethality but nothing uncanny stacks cant fix

Tbf revolver is much less egregious than Plasma

tall torrent
#

Can anyone check what the MG1a’s firerate is

agile forge
#

Plasma needs a heavy nerf, the other OP stuff needs a more moderate one

tall torrent
agile forge
#

I still think Plasma LMB is too strong for what it is

#

But maybe cleave would fix that

tall torrent
#

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

agile forge
#

Make the reload EvEn SlOwEr

#

Change nothing else

#

JoB dOnE

late hatch
#

make the vent toughness drain 1.5x maybe

agile forge
#

The toughness drain should not be slowed by any TDR stuff

#

And should be % based

tall torrent
#

Just cleave & ammo usage changes would be enough

#

Plasma is easier to balance than revolver

agile forge
#

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

tall torrent
#

My hot take is increase Zarona ads time

late hatch
#

it is pretty snappy

tall torrent
#

Probably nerf Zarona cleave too tbh?

#

Both Zarona and plasma should cleave less

late hatch
#

when do we get the meltagun?

agile forge
#

Imo just make the Zarona bullet size more reasonable

#

It's a precision weapon that you don't have to be precise with

tall torrent
agile forge
#

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

#

should i be mag dumping with the bolter or tapping heads?

#

tap

#

dump monstrosities

odd sparrow
#

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

i wouldnt recommend DA for Mg4 personally

rather run ghost

#

Would you recommend any accatran on a VoC build? Are they good atm?

agile forge
#

Accatran pistol maybe

#

The recons are shit

serene bough
#

only recon you could probably make work is the VIId with exec stance, but even thats pretty underwhelming

outer wolf
#

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?

#

Ia lasgun is good

serene bough
#

ilas and iag are decent weapons as well

try avoiding shotguns, shredder pistol, and recons

raw steppe
#

Helbore is fun too

frank ether
#

agripina iag is a nice gun to shoot

#

Works with a variety of different builds

#

has pretty good reach unlike ciag

raw steppe
#

Ciag reach is pretty solvable imo

#

With longshot, 10% rending and deadshot the range penalties basically dont exist

frank ether
#

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

frank ether
#

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

agile forge
#

(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

frank ether
#

I think some of exe-mf path's problems are just veteran talent tree problems

agile forge
frank ether
#

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

agile forge
#

ignore weapons etc

#

if you wanna just go max CIAG, I think this is the way to go

shell mason
#

when the default lasgun gets holos

agile forge
#

it has better long range damage modifiers

shell mason
#

WUH

agile forge
#

also has worse hipfire

shell mason
#

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

raw steppe
#

Rather than generic vet node

shell mason
#

doesn't even need a proper holo, just ring sights or something

frank ether
#

you'll constantly eat the deadshot penalty

agile forge
#

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

frank ether
raw steppe
#

Yeah there's a lot they can do

#

Also give people a way to sustain mf

#

Outside of hs kills

frank ether
#

imo the movement shit should just go away entirely

#

mf should be %100 timing based

#

and rebalanced around that

agile forge
#

Slower weapons should generate more stacks on it

#

CIAG is the best weapon for it atm

#

Which feels odd

lyric dock
#

It's funny the Marksman tree best weapon is a full auto spray and pray weapon inosukek

tiny summit
agile forge
#

You get its spread down to almost nothing with ES though

#

But nobody runs ES

#

Except me from what it feels like

lyric dock
#

I use ES mostly on Plasma

frank ether
#

you only run exe to juice certain guns to hit new bps

tiny summit
#

I use Exe mostly

#

Also came up with this abomination with recon KEKW_ogryn

frank ether
#

yikes fdgkh

tiny summit
#

You ran it. You loved it didn't you

frank ether
#

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

tiny summit
#

Gotta do this one

frank ether
#

I mean why fire team though

tiny summit
#

You know..."hey guys I brought recon exe w/o surv...just because uwugryn"

frank ether
#

thats just malicious KEKW_ogryn

polar schooner
#

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

tiny summit
#

Smokes, Exe, Recon/Knife no Surv

frank ether
#

whatever fatshark is cooking better be big lmao

#

after this long of a wait with no keeping expectations in check

tiny summit
#

Psyker themed outfits for Vet

frank ether
#

I think its the silence that creates the problem for them

tiny summit
#

Posting some concept art of future update content would be cool

white minnow
#

they did post something of a sewer level

frank ether
white minnow
#

like a year ago xd

polar schooner
frank ether
#

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

white minnow
#

i suppose fatshark figures they have more to lose with communicating

polar schooner
#

Even the bare minimum expectations arent low enough for FS these days

white minnow
#

and frankly I agree that they should just be quiet

frank ether
#

or its the opposite but odds of that is low

white minnow
#

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

frank ether
#

I think its a bit too late for a crafting rework

raw steppe
#

I don't think so

frank ether
#

should have been done before everyone left

#

whoever remains probably already suffered through it and no longer gives a shit

raw steppe
#

I think improving the existing system while adding new system to grind would be good

white minnow
#

i certainly do still give a shit

frank ether
#

its not like there is any new content to burn resources for

polar schooner
#

No one is gonna come back to the game over them re-doing crafting (again)

white minnow
#

and like, i really do not like the perk/blessing system

#

that really should be reworked

raw steppe
#

Improve current system and add red weapons and 80-100 stat grind fest

frank ether
#

It should have been done before

#

not just a rework no

#

TRASH the entire crafting system

raw steppe
#

And make perks and blessings trivial

frank ether
#

thats what should have happened

white minnow
#

so eliminate the crafting entirely?

frank ether
#

make a different system yes

white minnow
#

i like my progression so i want them to keep crafting

frank ether
#

not this destiny style bs

#

it doesn't work

white minnow
#

well that's part of what i want them to rework

frank ether
#

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

raw steppe
tiny summit
raw steppe
#

But i think they can allow the progression in other ways

frank ether
#

Who cares about progression

raw steppe
#

Like through the 80-100 grind

frank ether
#

its boring

raw steppe
#

Or red weapons

frank ether
#

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

white minnow
#

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

frank ether
#

Its too late to matter now

#

any change or easing of crafting

raw steppe
#

I don't think so

frank ether
#

no longer relevant for a game rapidly losing players

#

no one gives a shit

raw steppe
#

I think that it's never too late

white minnow
#

i do

raw steppe
#

Since the game fundamentally is good

white minnow
#

as somebody who will be planning on playing the game for more, i want them to fix some stuff

white minnow
frank ether
#

its not content, I don't give a shit about anything but content

raw steppe
#

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

white minnow
#

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

frank ether
#

''hey guys we fixed crafting'' I literally do not give a shit

raw steppe
#

Cuz i like the game

#

Good for you then

#

I do give a shit

#

So not "everyone" didn't give a shit

frank ether
#

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

white minnow
#

yeah thus we rework the system in its entirety

frank ether
#

this crafting system is un-sal-va-ge-able

white minnow
#

and not just the one part of the rng

raw steppe
#

Welcome to grindy video games

#

First time?

white minnow
#

do you know what a rework is

frank basin
#

You could stop playing if you want. If the game feel very grindy

zealous wyvern
#

there is only one shooter for 40k on this level

#

so

#

no you cant just stop playing

frank ether
frank basin
#

Space marine

zealous wyvern
#

worst point in history

#

space marine isnt even out

#

and the old one is old by now

frank basin
#

Not space marine 2

zealous wyvern
#

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

frank basin
#

And shoota, blood and teef

zealous wyvern
#

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

frank basin
#

Is funny they are inspire blood gore and cannoli

white minnow
# frank ether thats not a rework thats called trashing it

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

zealous wyvern
#

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

white minnow
#

and i don't expect them to radically rip it out

zealous wyvern
#

1 sushi restaurant in town
criticise the cooking
go somewhere else then
think

white minnow
#

since i figure that accomodating a transition from the current crafting system to a new one is a consideration as well

frank ether
polar schooner
#

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.

white minnow
white minnow
#

they released the game early and got owned for that

#

yeah i just mean very incomplete

frank ether
#

sure

#

fixing your broken systems is not content

raw steppe
frank ether
#

its not exciting

raw steppe
#

And move the grind

#

To the perfection of it

frank ether
#

no one gives a shit that payday 3 is trying at fixing its shit now

white minnow
#

yeah it's not content

raw steppe
#

Like red weapons or improving the stats

frank ether
#

thats how live service market is

frank basin
#

The grind like retention design from destiny 2

white minnow
#

but it's still something that sticks out sorely

#

i mean is darktide a live service game

raw steppe
white minnow
#

at this point, if it were ever called a live service game by the devs, i wouldn't believe it

frank ether
white minnow
#

i wouldn't consider it one

frank ether
#

you're actually just gullable

raw steppe
#

Payday2 had the same issue at launch, but it was a good game so patches came, it got better and ppl liked it

white minnow
#

wha

frank ether
#

its a live service game dude

raw steppe
#

If you have a game that is bad

#

Like payday3 or suicide squad or back 4blood

tiny summit
#

I wouldn't consider it a live service.

raw steppe
#

Nothing will save it

#

Dt is a good game fundamentally

frank ether
#

you're like actually beyond saving

#

if you look at this game and think

raw steppe
#

So i think improvements will make it better

frank ether
#

''this is not a live service model''

polar schooner
#

It's monetized like a live service game, just without all the content updates

frank ether
#

its exactly identical to any other live service game

white minnow
#

i am damned to hell 😔

frank basin
#

You okay arco

white minnow
#

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

frank ether
#

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

frank basin
#

I think team of Darktide is bit medium and patching take time for them to code and solve the bugs

polar schooner
#

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 HYPERCLAP

#

Meanwhile they keep shitting out 20 dollar sets on their rotating FOMO store

tiny summit
#

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

frank ether
#

nothing worth 20$

polar schooner
#

It's hilarious to me how they launched the Krieg sets as "Premium cosmetics" so they could jack up the price even more

polar schooner
#

And how many times have they had to pach the greatcoat for vet now?

#

3 times?

#

Because of clipping issues

raw steppe
#

So their devs prob work like 10 hours a week

polar schooner
#

Very fucking Premium my guys

raw steppe
#

Theyre not an american dev company

#

That can churn out updates

#

Heh

#

And god forbid you complain about that

frank ether
raw steppe
#

Cuz someone will be like

frank ether
#

I wouldn't even care about clipping

raw steppe
#

"I'd rather the devs have a good work environment than have more updates"

frank ether
#

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

raw steppe
#

For me personally since I'm a customer i want them to slave away

#

And make more content

polar schooner
#

Or when they take a complete set, then sell the helmet separately

#

Also very cool

tiny summit
#

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.

frank basin
#

Just go play helldiver 2

frank ether
#

I'm already playing it KEKW_ogryn

#

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

raw steppe
#

Already bored of helldivers lol

#

No more content once you do a 7/8/9 and hit 20

frank basin
#

You least got content

#

Like you finished the food

polar schooner
#

Same, me and my friends stopped playing DT and moved over to HD2 instead.

frank ether
#

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

raw steppe
#

Eh it got boring after 10 or so runs

frank ether
#

I have fashion stuff to look forward to

polar schooner
#

Also there's been leaks for tons of new content for that game, vehicles, walkers, teleport backpacks. All kinds of stuff

frank basin
#

I personally just wait starship trooper

frank ether
#

weapon balance needs some work thats all

teal abyss
frank ether
#

its impossible to unlock everything by lvl20 lol

#

unless you do the mortar farm maybe

next spade
#

just bought this one, any laspistol pros? never used them much

raw steppe
#

Than the weapon unlocks

lyric dock
raw steppe
#

So the parts that excite me is strategem unlocks

frank ether
#

the gameplay is fine

next spade
#

Darktide definitely has a lot more content than HD2

raw steppe
#

And enemy types

teal abyss
raw steppe
#

And the enemy variation is pretty boring

frank ether
#

bro what

tiny summit
raw steppe
frank ether
#

there are so many unique enemies all with their own unique gimmicks

raw steppe
#

Not really? There are like 10 enemy types per faction

frank basin
#

Yeah but I hate have use railgun to kill automaton on 7-8

raw steppe
#

And realistically its like 2-3 of the heavily armored ones that really matter

teal abyss
#

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

frank basin
#

I love machine gun blast everything

raw steppe
#

Who are you to tell me how i should enjoy games

frank ether
next spade
#

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

odd sparrow
raw steppe
next spade
#

how do you mean?

raw steppe
#

Theres also just like... Only 3-4 mission modifiers

teal abyss
#

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 unlockedKEKW_ogryn that’s how you make a game boring faster than everyone else who’s still playing it and enjoying it fine

raw steppe
#

Scramble, slower strategem cooldown, etc

raw steppe
#

I use the pump because i like it

frank basin
#

Shotgun

#

My favorite firearm

teal abyss
#

Considering you’ve already exposed yourself as a Railgun meta sweat I doubt that greatly but alright man

next spade
frank basin
#

Not ranged weakspot damage

#

People going say same meta shit like flak and maniac

raw steppe
next spade
#

lasgun damage profile is so strange I dont really know what do to

frank basin
#

Well go your own flow

#

Check damage breakdown

#

If anything does high damage to certain types don’t need change

raw steppe
teal abyss
#

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

raw steppe
#

Will prob play more once more content drops

frank ether
#

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 KEKW_ogryn

next spade
#

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

raw steppe
#

Dw i already blocked him lol

next spade
#

same for most games, not burn out at launch, wait a larger update or 2 and then jump in

frank basin
#

“One blocked message” -dis

raw steppe
#

Hes just unreasonable and emotional

next spade
#

Im very glad I didnt play darktide at launch much

raw steppe
#

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

frank basin
#

Sprewing hatred

#

On the game

raw steppe
frank basin
#

There is competition comparing dt and hd2

raw steppe
#

You just shoot them until they die lol

frank basin
#

Or call drop pod upon them

raw steppe
#

It is fun but after 10 or so games it did get old for me

#

I'm not sure how to solve that

terse idol
#

BALANCE PLS

frank ether
terse idol
#

Some stratagems are just worse

#

raw steppe
#

Usually ppl can stay civil

frank basin
raw steppe
#

Even if we disagree lol

#

Like plush for example

terse idol
raw steppe
#

I disagree with him on everythinf

frank ether
#

the chaff in helldivers is significantly more of a threat than in darktide

raw steppe
#

But we're not out here flming each other

frank ether
#

this is not an emotional take its just how it is with their ability to call in reinforcements or just instakill you

raw steppe
#

Ye thats true

#

The reinforcement call in is exciting

terse idol
#

To be fair not every chaff enemy in helldivers can kill you...

odd sparrow
terse idol
#

but I am understanding why people hate hunters now

#

They make it literally nearly impossible to break engagement

raw steppe
#

Hunters are annoying lol

frank ether
#

hunters are pretty obnoxious in packs

raw steppe
#

I always go out of my way

#

To kill the hunter spawners

frank basin
#

Are you guy talking about automaton

terse idol
#

no tyrmaids

frank ether
#

its good practice to have someone with a chaff killing setup

#

like a grenade launcher

raw steppe
#

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

frank ether
#

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

raw steppe
#

Energy weapons are dog

frank ether
#

so the viable combinations at diff 7-9 boils down to the same few guns and specials

frank basin
#

Muh machine gun 😭

frank ether
#

the weakspot mechanics are far more detailed than darktide however

teal abyss
frank basin
raw steppe
#

While "specialists"

#

Like flamer, bomber type enemies dont matter

#

In hd2

#

I would like more enemies like the hunter

frank ether
#

well automaton front you got the jetpack fuckers

raw steppe
#

Where it wasnt just a fat tanky armored enemy

frank basin
#

I think dev want keep it simple

frank ether
#

that self detonate if they are close to you

#

or blow up if you shoot the jetpack

raw steppe
#

Yeah they annoying lmao

frank ether
#

they do pretty well at zoning you out of comfy cover

#

its a lot more punishing on bot front

frank basin
#

Smoke grenade in hd2 when

frank ether
#

because being out of cover sucks in bot front

teal abyss
#

In the warbond

frank ether
#

there is one yeah

frank basin
#

Which is suck I assume ya say

frank ether
#

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

frank basin
#

But it would take away blowing up spawner

raw steppe
frank ether
#

most ppl dont understand this

#

and hold their ground, ground that doesn't matter

raw steppe
#

Works really well in solos and duos

frank basin
#

Can GL blow up spawner?

frank ether
#

light armors are also ideal for this reason in solo/duo

#

you can run off to cut engagements

frank ether
raw steppe
#

Ye

#

Light armor with reduced detection range

#

And smoke

#

Helps a lot

frank ether
#

thats the good one

#

I personally prefer the explosive resistant one though

frank basin
#

I’m a pure juggernaut fan

frank ether
#

being able to survive a rocket is nice

#

I don't run the shield pack

#

so I make a trade-off there

frank basin
#

There’s YouTuber say rocket count as projectile or kinetic not explosive

frank ether
#

Idk I survive a rocket fine

frank basin
#

It take your 90% of health

#

Getting first shot

#

Like high difficulty I think

frank ether
#

I dont think damage scales with difficulty

frank basin
#

It is health scale with difficulty?

frank ether
#

no

#

it shouldn't

#

you just get bigger enemies

frank basin
#

Scale numbers of enemy?

frank ether
#

and more often

#

scale intensity yes

#

more and bigger enemies
