[grizzled kiln]

ouch

what should i swap it with do you think

can the combat knife roll with shred

[sharp zodiac]

Uncanny

Any item with uncanny as a blessing is a must have for how good it is

And no

Knife doesn't have shred

[royal vortex]

https://streamable.com/x61n8g @coarse birch

[placid salmon]

what does uncanny do again

[sharp zodiac]

Allows you to say fuck you to armour in a percentage amount

[grizzled kiln]

i dont like the mk vi moveset at all so nevermind

thanks for nothing big e

[median steeple]

just eat the blessing

hmmmm

so full of lacerate

[grizzled kiln]

mk iv tac axe with shred and invocation of death is very fun get your charge back instantly

[polar nexus]

@ripe quest does the lawby special have a finesse modifier?

[ripe quest]

It should yeah.

Haven't looked at it tbf, I'll check rn

[placid salmon]

ruthless backstab is nice

[sharp zodiac]

Ciaphas your bleeding out of your abdomen

I'm calling a doctor

[cinder wedge]

I didnt need that image in my head

[placid salmon]

if you have high enough rending, can the combat knife one shot crushers with shroud without a backstab

I know you technically CAN get both a backstab and a weakpoint hit on ogryns but it's tricky

[polar nexus]

if so, i need to test that tonight

[median steeple]

I am fine do not worry

augh

[polar nexus]

with manstopper + flechette

[ripe quest]

It do

Looks like it really likes weakspot hits in general

[polar nexus]

longshot affect bleed, so does onslaugt hmm

[fading vale]

rending is capped at 100%

and rending that gives you over 100% ADM is quartered

[polar nexus]

hmm marksman should be better with scattershot + manstopper, i don't think you can proce flechette reliably outside of ws stacks :/

[placid salmon]

I'm mostly just asking cause I wanna know how necessary backstabs are for shroud crusher oneshots

[fading vale]

Pretty sure they are

necessary

[ripe quest]

I just stacked every crit chance bonus I could find lol

I used the right-most Keystone with it.

I was just like, labbing basic stuff though.

[royal vortex]

u could be funny and run deadshot/reciprocity/duck n dive

[ripe quest]

That's about what I had in mind yeah

[placid salmon]

dang, oh well

I'll keep ruthless backstab then

[ripe quest]

Called upon the classic Crab Duck n Dive build

[placid salmon]

shroud knife lets you do so much damage to beasts lol

[polar nexus]

this

i don't think you can't do better for manstopper + flechette

i'll miss the dmg on elites or ogryns tho :/

[royal vortex]

i'd probs drop the 25 toughness in the middle for ET

with a lawbringer u just kinda aim it head height at a horde and get a ton of procs

[coarse birch]

lmao

[polar nexus]

oohhh right i don't need that 25%

[coarse birch]

terrible blitz

run smite instead

[ripe quest]

You can with perks, this is a perk-less Precog + Uncanny knife.

[royal vortex]

TRUE

[royal vortex]

EP giving u functionally infinite charges vs low tier elites is so mind numbing to me

[coarse birch]

oh right

i havent run ep assail in a minute

i kinda hate EP altogether

as a keystone

[ripe quest]

Oh actually you can also do it with a Keystone

[coarse birch]

its very boring and also like the most reward

[ripe quest]

I wasn't running any keystones for that

[royal vortex]

it could be so cool

[coarse birch]

yeah i just wish it gave more interesting reward

like changing how a thing works for a time

and also not getting it off playing the game

[polar nexus]

wasting a shroud for a crusher :/

i like assail with dd

[fleet zealot]

trash business

[polar nexus]

you know that at some point someone will try to get you banned like yog? :/

[median steeple]

pretty yog left on his own

[polar nexus]

after a warning

it was more like you won't ban me, i'll ban myself first

[placid salmon]

discord drama

[royal vortex]

its p much just "blitz but the main limitation is lessened"

which is meh

[polar nexus]

kevin said drama is racist

[ripe quest]

Should also be able to 1 shot Crushers with Fury.

[fleet zealot]

I will fight and die

i wish this game was on PC

[median steeple]

this feels illegal

[ripe quest]

bro the damage numbers you can pull on knife is absurd sometimes

[polar nexus]

i think it's emulable no?

[ripe quest]

I'm still baffled at the like, 10k per hit against bosses thing

[polar nexus]

we need an emperor ferret

[visual stream]

Only reason why BB is moderately fun tho unfortunately

[median steeple]

you can but it feels really weird

[polar nexus]

is it because of the fps?

[median steeple]

yes mostly

[polar nexus]

uncanny + precog?

[median steeple]

I love the game to death but the 30fps hurts my head

[fleet zealot]

My Kindred, there will come a day when you will command the Ferretposting and, with it, mete out justice across this discord. I have no doubt that when that day finally comes, you will bring pride to our people and that the discord will be a better place because of you. But, my kindred, that day is not today.

[fleet zealot]

can't go wrong with a rashad and agri brauto chastise momentum build

yee and pins

[coarse birch]

yeah i wish they would buff base BB and then put like lacerations on the EP version

[languid jetty]

holy shit this was rough

[royal vortex]

best i can do is keeping flayer but removing lacerations

[coarse birch]

😔

[languid jetty]

29 deaths is insane

[little thicket]

I disagree

[median steeple]

holy shit

[little thicket]

Not enough

[median steeple]

what happened in that game

[royal vortex]

i legitimately cannot believe they removed the main use for flayer (warp charge maintenance)

😔

[languid jetty]

we had a kickback kill 2 with a single burster

[median steeple]

ah yes

the classic

[fleet zealot]

please take off quicken from warp charges baseline and have it replace essence harvest or in fire reborn

[coarse birch]

warp charges being removed on ult use was such a weird choice

like you cant even use it with scriers

[fleet zealot]

i wouldn't mind it if IT WASN'T BAKED IN

[royal vortex]

i have made my peace with warp charges

[fleet zealot]

it's so dumb

[royal vortex]

i dont want it to be another baseline + damage like disrupt destiny

they just have to completely restructure the upgrades

it needs to look more like weapon specialist

[little thicket]

All the blitz abilltys right now are meh on psyker.

[median steeple]

I haven't touched DD since P13 is it at all worth using

[coarse birch]

yeah

[royal vortex]

depends a lil bit on the weapon ur running

[coarse birch]

i run it on p much all the psyker builds i use

its great for gunker or ds4

[little thicket]

Even assail requires an absurd amount of talent points into making decent.

[coarse birch]

but i also use it on deimos/void build

but i also p much only use scriers builds

so im a little biased

[buoyant pecan]

Destroyers?

[fleet zealot]

compared to other builds, not really

it takes talent points to use as your primary/secondary weapon but

you still have a lot of points left over

i can take all the toughness regen talents iwth assail EP build, and still have a couple spares

i'd say BR is the more taxing one

[coarse birch]

BR is more taxing cause you really wanna take EP

whereas with assail i could just take the 2 assail nodes and leave it there

and be fine

[little thicket]

Ye i dont really bother with any of the blitz upgrades

I find them point wasters that take away from the actual weapons dealing damage inside the game

[fleet zealot]

it's pretty big for assail

+piercing +quick shards helps a lot for efficiency and makes your juggling rotation tighter

kinetic resonance is a must for BR and flayer is the odd one

flayer should have a much lower CD

[median steeple]

oh fuckk

[little thicket]

Piercing is good for killing shooters with assail.

[median steeple]

I havent touched my psyker builds since p13

[fleet zealot]

it's good for assail period

[median steeple]

im not gonna bother with them

[little thicket]

But i think in terms of horde clear assail is inefficent even with piercing.

[fleet zealot]

it's really not with EP and 12.5% you just swap after you spend all 10, swap back when you have 3 EP charges

it encourages juggling between sword, staff and blitz

[coarse birch]

i dont even run EP and its pretty fine horde clear

[fleet zealot]

and I like that

[little thicket]

Ye but going so far tanks every other damage source in terms of horde clear.

[fleet zealot]

not really, you still have venting shriek

[little thicket]

Its like 5 talent points invested into making assail decent.

[royal vortex]

it's passable enough that i'm not lacking horde clear on an otherwise single-target focused build i.e ds4 laspistol/iag

[little thicket]

When you could just use a base staff like voidstrike or trauma isntead.

[coarse birch]

you really dont need to go that far out of your way to get horde damage either

[little thicket]

Even duelling sword properly buffed will output impressive dps

[visual stream]

I hope BB is on the agenda, if it is then they might be trying to figure out what to do with EP in conjunction

[coarse birch]

like i frequently run builds with assail as the only horde clear and its totally fine

[fleet zealot]

true, you dont even need it, EP just makes assail mroe primary where charges/destiny makes them more secondary

[little thicket]

Its likely a better way to play it either way

[fleet zealot]

assail has range and auto aims

[little thicket]

True aim is nice for assail with more synergy on other weapons.

[fleet zealot]

you can also right click flick to prio targets

but yea, if you are picking trauma

[royal vortex]

assail has really good utility as a stagger tool on top of good shooter clear and decent damage (particularly on crit/weakspot)

[fleet zealot]

you don't want to pick assail

you want a blitz that compliments your staff

assail likes to be paired with surge and void staff

[coarse birch]

yeah the main thing i use assail for is just getting into melee easier

really quick easy stagger

[fleet zealot]

it's free damage cause you can swap, juggling/weaving is a great way to boost your psyker dps

[median steeple]

fuck being optimal on psyker I am lightning man

[fleet zealot]

and they just keep flying

[coarse birch]

and you get the uncanny buff

[fleet zealot]

^

[coarse birch]

which you will be running on most psyker melees

[royal vortex]

none of the other blitzes are shutting down ragers and letting me do something else

[ripe quest]

mhm, Uncanny + Precog Martyr build featuring Duellist from the Benediction series.

[fleet zealot]

and flamers, dogs and trappers

[royal vortex]

in general assail just enables u to play how u want because of how fkin stupid strong the stagger on it is

[fleet zealot]

the amount of times a cheesy shard saved me from a trapper is greater than 0

[coarse birch]

i actually like the stagger on it, i still vouch for 5 assail shards max

[royal vortex]

my opinion is

5 shards max

does not regen while held

u are NOT allowed to spam it

[coarse birch]

yeah the spamminess of it is my issue

i should probably have to do more than exist to get it back

as well

[median steeple]

the slap heard around the world

[royal vortex]

it's another one of those blitzes that has a very specific and very powerful upside in a match that someone hasn't picked survivalist

(like throwing knives)

[placid salmon]

finally the empowered psionics buff we need

[royal vortex]

because not only does psyker have a gun

u also have the "basically a gun with travel time"

[ripe quest]

I'd probs do something where they are kinda like an ult. Once you throw them you get x amount of time to throw them, once you're done you need to wait for it to recharge. Swap the right click for a shotgun blast of them that do not home in on stuff.

[royal vortex]

absolutely not

[coarse birch]

damn

[royal vortex]

there's a very cool fundamental gameplay to assail that other blitzes do not touch on at all

[ripe quest]

What one will do for shotgun

[royal vortex]

and it is being able to weave it as an in-between move

[coarse birch]

give smite shotgun stuff tho

some kinda like

idk

[royal vortex]

i want a shotgun staff

[coarse birch]

literally anything else

[royal vortex]

if we're not getting shotguns on psyker

[placid salmon]

SAME

there is no good reason for psyker to be the only class barred off from anything resembling a shotgun

[royal vortex]

vet kind of touches on this with weapon specialist but its much more rigid in how you use it

[ripe quest]

I expect they'd make one eventually.

[royal vortex]

and is restrictive in your weapon choice if you want to get the best value

whereas assail isn't quite as much

[coarse birch]

yeah i like assails like

base design

minus the spamminess

[royal vortex]

fatshark basically stumbled into something really cool

and i will not give them full credit because the first nerf they did demonstrated that someone does not understand how assail functions

[coarse birch]

although right click is a little weird cause its like

80% of BBs job

[fleet zealot]

everyone wanted yondu arrows until they realized how it would affect them if their teammates had yondu arrows

[royal vortex]

the right click should let u tag like 3 guys within 20 meters

and u can like choose which guys the assail flies to

[placid salmon]

right click assail is a lot stronger than i thought it would be

[royal vortex]

but it needs to have a way more significant range limit

[coarse birch]

yeah they buffed it lol

[fleet zealot]

imo i think they made irght click assail too strong

[royal vortex]

because it should not be doing what brainburst does

[fleet zealot]

making BR look scuffed

besdies BR armor and boss damage

assail has similar travel vs charge time

[coarse birch]

even armor damage can get outdone with uncanny

[royal vortex]

@coarse birch oh yeah i came up with something

[coarse birch]

assail is just what happens when you make a quickswap blitz not quickswap

[royal vortex]

since blazing spirit applies to assail crits

[coarse birch]

and its just a 3rd weapon

[royal vortex]

throw darts -> swap to trauma for soulblaze -> swap to dueling sword and stack uncanny

[little thicket]

BR just isnt good regardless of what assail is.

[royal vortex]

genius

(and pointless)

[little thicket]

LMB on staffs outdamage BR in most cases.

[visual stream]

Maybe they could buff the duration a smidge in accordance with weapon-ready time to compensate?

[placid salmon]

i really wish more blitzes were quick throw

[coarse birch]

that is cool

not sure how much value your gonna get though

[placid salmon]

smokes should be quick throw lol

[royal vortex]

they need to give it a swap speed buff/node

[polar nexus]

how can you proce uncanny reliably?

[royal vortex]

i want it to alleviate the cancer a lil bit of helbore/bolter swap time if you don't like those weapons

[ripe quest]

So like, a fast DPS kinda thing that you can't spam as often? Kinda what throwing knives do but more focused on being a kind of opening move to soften stuff or panic option.

[visual stream]

The thought of even a tiny bit more vet bloat frightened me

But that's fair too

[ripe quest]

the head

[fleet zealot]

not a frrt or pssm but it's cute

[ripe quest]

hit it

[coarse birch]

yeah weakspot hits

[royal vortex]

weapon specialist has like 2 or 3 upgrade nodes that invalidate the other

[coarse birch]

each one stacks it

then you can just keep it at 5 if you keep doing it

[royal vortex]

it has stam regen on swap and stamina cost reduction on swap

just change the stamina cost reduction

[royal vortex]

yes

the idea is that like

it's in the gunker tree

[visual stream]

Thank god the mag reserve node is before the reload node

[royal vortex]

and psyker has a bunch of weapons with fast swap times for the most part

so the general Flow™️ is that if ur using like a dueling sword and a laspistol

[visual stream]

Mag reserve node is one of the funnest parts about weapon specialist

[royal vortex]

u can throw out some ds lights/push attacks, throw a dart or two, and then use that safety window to shoot a guy

[coarse birch]

yeah

[royal vortex]

and this is baseline u can do some crackhead shit if u do like knife/revolver SPEED

[coarse birch]

thats really what it should be

not all of the above

idk if we will get that cause FS pretty clearly does not know how to fix assail

[royal vortex]

i mean theyve started to listen

[south folio]

a matter of when and I want it NOW

[royal vortex]

and a premonition tells me its likely there will be more influence from our beloved crustacean

[coarse birch]

i do trust crab

ah theres arco

[visual stream]

I have not seen the crustacean in a while

[coarse birch]

i knew he would show up to the nerf assail convo

[royal vortex]

he's on a beach in a far away land

[coarse birch]

at least hes still involved with stuff

[royal vortex]

i almost went the way of the crab myself

it was maddening saying anything in zealot chat and like 4 fkin ppl would ask me questions

[fading vale]

AINL has arrived

[royal vortex]

lmao

[visual stream]

What if they just made smite a good horde clear blitz instead of a cc blitz

[south folio]

bitch

[coarse birch]

they just need to make it like

be some aggro melee thing

[visual stream]

Shorter range, decent damage, maybe slows instead of stuns

[coarse birch]

idk actually

[polar nexus]

sorry i meant duellist

[ripe quest]

dodge

[visual stream]

More of a shotgun spread to make up for range

[coarse birch]

just not stand in place and stun shit

yeah i think shotgun type stuff would be neat

[polar nexus]

i am in a boring meeting, hard to work and discord at the same time

[royal vortex]

the baseline mechanic i want for smite is a 80-90% peril cost blast that u charge up

and it shoots out

and it just goes on its own

u cant sit there and go "BABYSIT ME"

[visual stream]

I feel like smite turning into a shotgun-y horde clear blitz would be fucking awesome

[fading vale]

oh do you live on the wrong side of the planet

[royal vortex]

be a big boy and kill the poxwalkers urself

[polar nexus]

yeah, new caledonia, close to Australia

[royal vortex]

i personally lean away from hard-stuns that aren't stagger based so i would want it to be something that slows enemy movespeed/actions

[visual stream]

Gives the power trip that shooting lightning from your fingertips should but not overwhelmingly boring like the current version

[coarse birch]

how do you expect the illisi smite psyker to kill the horde man

[visual stream]

A slow would be all you'd need imo

Not even a big slow at that

[royal vortex]

i get fucking purg/chainsword psykers who run sprint efficiency willingly rolled onto both weapons.

[visual stream]

[royal vortex]

[coarse birch]

hey dont talk about me like that

[royal vortex]

USE THE FUCKING STAFF

KILL THEM

[fading vale]

find god

[coarse birch]

i should have run smite the first time i played with josho

just to mess with him

[royal vortex]

[coarse birch]

it would be my first smite game ever

[ripe quest]

I may be doing another Exhil-Psyker brained one here but like, left click is a stagger and yank kinda thing that pulls stuff together in a radius or line up to a certain range and right click is basically what josho said.

[royal vortex]

i did a duo with arco where i abused the EP surge bug

i need to do duos more

[coarse birch]

bro the smite bug was so dumb

er

surge bug

i should say

[median steeple]

I miss the goofy ass bugs of p13

[royal vortex]

i legitimately could not believe people played more than a couple games of it

[coarse birch]

ive never done a duo they seem fun

[royal vortex]

it was

so awful

[coarse birch]

soloing was not fun

for me

[royal vortex]

duos are just about the sweet spot for me in terms of optional challenge content

if i try to solo i get filled with self loathing

[coarse birch]

soloing just turned into running in a circle for 45 minutes

for me

[royal vortex]

u just kite

[coarse birch]

yeah

[royal vortex]

so interesting

[coarse birch]

you pull 1000 things and then slowly kill it

[ripe quest]

solo was fun to lab stuff out but I cannot imagine doing like, speedruns.

[coarse birch]

then do it again in the next room

[royal vortex]

i did one speedrun

[coarse birch]

oh boy

[royal vortex]

just to say i did it

and man

that shit is soulless

u can absolutely play darktide wrong and that's it

[coarse birch]

i cannot imagine playing dt to speedrun

It's a chocolate chip-less chocolate chip cookie

[coarse birch]

[ripe quest]

We're starting off with some really lukewarm stuff rn

[median steeple]

Vet is the hardest class to play and plasma is balanced

there we go

[ripe quest]

We were TRAINED FOR THIS

c'mon

[visual stream]

I love Mr. Snack

[royal vortex]

Zealot has no role.

[coarse birch]

you have no role

[visual stream]

That was either Mr. Snack or Mr. Fresh, I forgor

[royal vortex]

u dont get it yoshi

[median steeple]

mr fish iirc

[hushed knoll]

Vet is weak and not balanced

[royal vortex]

it's an old one

from like

december 2022

training wheels class

[coarse birch]

i was not in the discord

[median steeple]

holy shit it's darcy of darktides past

[royal vortex]

weakness

[coarse birch]

i was however playing the gmae

a very little bit

well flamer existed too and whatnot

back then

i dont think i played zealot till after that tho

[ripe quest]

Hearing about the history of some of the channels I'm glad I joined when I did instead of during the first playtest.

[woeful oyster]

Vet tree is not hard to work with if you're not greedy and stick to a certain role.

[median steeple]

listen during the CBT this discord was a magical place

gen chat was chaos

[fleet zealot]

Cbt

[median steeple]

we still had memes

[royal vortex]

this place was hell

[median steeple]

I love the CBT

[coarse birch]

during the what

[fleet zealot]

I remember pre embed ban

[south folio]

vet femboy era

[ripe quest]

During the CBT era

[fleet zealot]

And people posting shock gifs

In general chat

[visual stream]

This is so cool, I think I will now say something (interesting) about another culture

[visual stream]

Same

[median steeple]

darcy took og chats job

[coarse birch]

rip

[median steeple]

but during the october playtest was

great in some terms

really bad in others

[hushed knoll]

Hello Mr. Arc O'Tash

[visual stream]

I heard vet chat was where the (interesting) conversations used to be

[median steeple]

old vet chat was great

loved it

[coarse birch]

vet chat is still a little uh

odd

[hollow ember]

question for Knife zealots how do your index fingers not hurt you after every game with all that LMB clicking?

[south folio]

hi spider toe stan

[ripe quest]

Heavies

[coarse birch]

but yeah old vet chat was cursed

[median steeple]

we had femboys and convos about history

[royal vortex]

i absolutely did not partake in it whatsoever

[median steeple]

and it was a honey pot that got a lot of those krieg fans banned

[hushed knoll]

Josho you should bedge soon

[visual stream]

It feels like they're still trying to cobble together a community but Idk, don't go in there often

[median steeple]

[ripe quest]

Obligatory do not search for Josho's images and sort by old

[polar nexus]

and if you need, use a mod

[hollow ember]

i was playing dueling sword not knife but thought knife did the same LMB spam on hordes

thought Knife had it worse than dueling sword

[ripe quest]

It technically does but generally you don't want to be raw fighting a horde with a knife

[hollow ember]

I am used to Heavy evis clicking

[hushed knoll]

No dabbing

[royal vortex]

oh right

lmfao

[hollow ember]

my fingers used to love me and now they hurt and cursing me with the dueling sword

I am hoping my index gonna get used to it

[hushed knoll]

What does this mean

[royal vortex]

you'll find out when you're older stan

[ripe quest]

Back when Josho was cracked at building Thammer

[hushed knoll]

I am half a century older than you

[median steeple]

holy fuck

[hushed knoll]

Decade

[coarse birch]

damn that thammer is cracked

[ripe quest]

Current me would be slinging walls of text at old me

[hushed knoll]

I was just reading about century eggs

It's not my fault

[royal vortex]

the natural cycle of things

[median steeple]

what the hell are century eggs

[royal vortex]

i almost thought for a moment

[visual stream]

The OG green eggs with ham

[royal vortex]

"why is groaners and poxwalkers on there"

[hushed knoll]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg

[royal vortex]

I'm forcing myself to stay awake for some reason

[royal vortex]

to be able to pick the perk u wanted

[hushed knoll]

But I was also reading wikipedia about beds

[median steeple]

[coarse birch]

i remember the days of sitting there rolling perks for free for 10 minutes

[median steeple]

that was awful

[north sedge]

I've had half a century egg before

[coarse birch]

literally why was it not a list

[hushed knoll]

[hushed knoll]

LAZ EXCUSE ME

[fading vale]

Why do people call it that

Just say what Laz says

[royal vortex]

you're about to say something weird

[coarse birch]

this is asking too much of stan

[hushed knoll]

You're the one that typed something weird

[median steeple]

omg im gonna throw up

this is fucking great

[royal vortex]

i am Josiah No Japan in some circles

[fleet zealot]

I need to go back to bandit or zealot amelia

[ripe quest]

[royal vortex]

Josiah Bosnia in others

im like mr worldwide

[fleet zealot]

But ferret so cute

[coarse birch]

oh you used to be amelia i didnt even connect the dots

[fleet zealot]

Setra the imperishable

[coarse birch]

i wasnt a frequent in here till you were ferret

[fleet zealot]

Yea banditferretEll->zealot amelia -> chaxeferret

[ripe quest]

I remember seeing you ingame but I was like "wait I'm on bad terms with this person I'll get obliterated if I say anything"

A long while ago

[fleet zealot]

Amelia is like

A randomly generated name

From the character creator

[ripe quest]

You had the same level and cosmetics as a previously posted screenshot of yours

[fleet zealot]

Their is at least dozens of us

[ripe quest]

I was like 100% confident

[fleet zealot]

Huh

Memory loss cause i dont remember but i never been on bad terms with u i think

[ripe quest]

Chain weapon arc

[royal vortex]

i had someone call me out at the start of a match

[fleet zealot]

Better people be like i dont hold grudges

Bitches i dont remember my grudges who are u?

[coarse birch]

i got posted on reddit once or twice for having the big helmet bug on vet way after they fixed it

[cerulean moth]

I demand a ferret photo

[median steeple]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-feeder-cat-feeder-eat-hedgehog-gif-15627593310129822333

[fleet zealot]

One sec

[cerulean moth]

That’s a anime neet women

Probably stinks like a ferret though

Inb4 my favourite image

[coarse birch]

man so much toughness too

[ripe quest]

They have a character arc and become normal

[fleet zealot]

Mocha hit 4lbs

Idk who mocha is

[cerulean moth]

That’s better

[coarse birch]

pre patch 13 and post patch 13 were such different games

[median steeple]

love mocha

[coarse birch]

i forgot

[cerulean moth]

You posted the same image twice earlier

[fleet zealot]

Just a ferret i found on twitter with that caption

[cerulean moth]

This is new

The filithy rodent

[fleet zealot]

Emperor bless

[royal vortex]

it was p much a re-launch yea

[cerulean moth]

I’d stick that thing in a sock and swing it around

Like a weapon

[fading vale]

I'm just spreading the word of god

[fleet zealot]

What the fuckkkk

[coarse birch]

i didnt even hate pre patch 13 but now that ive played so much patch 13

pre patch 13 was fucked up

[ripe quest]

Ah yes, Autopistol and mmmm high cleave weapon with Slaughterer or Caxe w/ BM

Boltgun for spice

[cerulean moth]

That’s 4lbs of energy. Protein

That’s my pre work out meal

[royal vortex]

pre 13 as a game had significantly less stuff to do in general it felt

[cerulean moth]

Ready to be taken

[coarse birch]

oh for sure

[cerulean moth]

It didn’t feel like. There was just less

[coarse birch]

i just tried diff weapons

[cerulean moth]

Full stop haha

[coarse birch]

wtf did i play back then

illisi trauma

[royal vortex]

i p much got to the point where i was like "nothing could possibly make me think i would have a novel experience that is also fun so im just not booting the game up until patch 13"

[coarse birch]

plasma on vet i think

[cerulean moth]

It got to the point I tried a Ogryn marty build

Where you stay at low health fkr the extra toughness regen lol

[cerulean moth]

🔥🔥🔥

[coarse birch]

i didnt play zealot till patch 13 really

[fleet zealot]

Remember when martyr zealot

[royal vortex]

pre-13 crucis was peak hammer zealot

[fleet zealot]

Fucking sucked?

[cerulean moth]

I was running Marty zealot since the BEGINNING bro

[fleet zealot]

When it was feats

[cerulean moth]

I was a detriment to the team before y’all

[royal vortex]

before the enemy density changes so u could duel elites without like

8 ragers forcing u to swap to a gun or feel the pain

[ripe quest]

everyone had martyr by default

[median steeple]

I HATE RAGERS
I HATE RAGERS

[coarse birch]

yeah pre patch 13 ragers were

different

[median steeple]

the old trees were so bad

[coarse birch]

tbf you also didnt get 80

[cerulean moth]

Marty ethno state

[median steeple]

you had like 2 builds

[hushed knoll]

I've never called you Josiah Bosnia

[coarse birch]

yeah old skill tree was hella mid

[hushed knoll]

Slander and libels

[coarse birch]

on vet esp it was like

[fleet zealot]

HR was giga busted

[coarse birch]

tf are you gonna run that isnt just the one build

[fleet zealot]

100% heal

Oh yea

[coarse birch]

ogryn had like'

[fleet zealot]

Vet was so OP

[coarse birch]

no talents i remember being good other than lynchpin

[royal vortex]

it was just copy pasted from vermintide, too

[royal vortex]

i laugh so hard at the ppl malding about 1 subclass every quarter

because now its like

so much better

[hushed knoll]

I can't, I'm above saying such vulgarities

[royal vortex]

i never really wanted vt2 subclasses because

[cerulean moth]

I remember when ogryn only had ONE box

[royal vortex]

a lot of them felt like the same idea but just a lil different

[hushed knoll]

The fuck???

[coarse birch]

they were saying some crazy things about the release rate of stuff

[royal vortex]

what we got now is so much better

[fleet zealot]

75% toughness DR infinite refreshing ability 25% plus 25% overtime that stacked infinitely

[royal vortex]

the premonitions dropped by crab gave me so much hope for the game

[coarse birch]

we probably still get new classes but not for a while

[royal vortex]

paid dlc is my assumption

[fleet zealot]

And vet mains still cried like babies when psword took it’s first few nerfs

[coarse birch]

i didnt join the discord till lkater

i was just blindly stumbling through shit

[ripe quest]

Bro connecting the dots was enlightening I was like "bro I cannot tell too many people or this source of info will get obliterated"

[royal vortex]

i was there for the great psword malding.

[coarse birch]

i was here for the psword nerf

i do remember

[cerulean moth]

Darcy

[coarse birch]

the power cycler one

[cerulean moth]

Psword defender

The reckoning

[royal vortex]

the constant "wink wink nudge nudge" shit

[fleet zealot]

I cant believe some zealots left and review bombed cause HR got nerfed in the talent update

Like, it wasnt a lot

But it wasnt non zero

[cerulean moth]

I remember seeing this guys 11111 talent build with zealot lmao

Got toasted so hard in chat

[coarse birch]

he was so avid

[royal vortex]

some people are just actual babies

[cerulean moth]

He was so mad

[coarse birch]

that 11111 was good

people also review bombed on psword/flamer nerf

[royal vortex]

that dude said zealot chatters should go die

[ripe quest]

Or the "Yeah I think it should be like this, here's some detailed information on it "

[cerulean moth]

Where’s the copy paste

Of what he said

[coarse birch]

when the games reviews were already ass

[royal vortex]

this too

[fleet zealot]

All I did was post my fucking build and y’all went for my throat talking down on it like a bunch of toxic trolls you didn’t have to say anything if u don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything but naw y’all wanna be animals like every other troll and thru the safety of the internet you run your mouth and then talk smack about me it’s ridiculous and not fair of anyone to treat some one like that and u have the audacity to say I’m going thru somthing nah you and all the other trolls like you need to get over what your going thru and act right

[cerulean moth]

YES

[royal vortex]

at one point he just said outright the lil connectors have stat bonuses

like a chad

[ripe quest]

Dude that's what got me in too

That entire thing

[coarse birch]

the gameplay is really what got me into the game

[fleet zealot]

Did flamer ever eat a hard nerf?

[coarse birch]

cause i had like no outside sources

[fleet zealot]

I dont remember

[coarse birch]

its first nerf was notable

[cerulean moth]

All I did was share my fucking build

What did you all DO to that man

[coarse birch]

but needed

[royal vortex]

he tried to flex his hour count

[ripe quest]

I remember seeing Arco talk about something and I looked at his post history, found the crab stuff regarding stat nodes and was adamant that it was real stuff

[royal vortex]

and this like made him mad

[fleet zealot]

Its still one of the best elite pack killers on zealot

[royal vortex]

and at some point i said like

"why are you so mad"

[coarse birch]

it used to stack burn way harder and had more ammo iirc

[royal vortex]

"i hope whatever's troubling you to make you this way gets resolved"

[coarse birch]

it legit melted everything

[royal vortex]

which inspired "and u have the audacity to say I’m going thru somthing nah you and all the other trolls like you need to get over what your going thru and act right"

[coarse birch]

bosses died like instantly, if you got one or 2 flamer zealots it was the most boring fucking thing

[median steeple]

gosh the audacity

[ripe quest]

Yeah I recall it being a bit like Fury of the Faithful's buff being constantly up but with everything other than Carapace. Also the bigger pool of ammo.

[royal vortex]

my first damnation match

i thought i queued into heresy

on comms plex

and we only got to the mid event

all in all the match took 50 mins

[ripe quest]

The forum posts being like "This nerf went too far" and it being followed by videos of Flamer still ruining crowds of elites

[coarse birch]

yeah basically

with old vet ammo regentoo

[royal vortex]

and like everyone who joined

had a fucking flamer

[ripe quest]

I think that nerf was when I about learned the armor downgrade thing

[torn stream]

I still really like Flamer even post nerf tbh, deletes Mauler/Rager packs like nobody's business and still helps a lot with breaching gun lines due to the suppression

[royal vortex]

i made my review positive when they nerfed flamer/psword

[coarse birch]

people just ran flamer hammer or knife when bleed stacked forever

[ripe quest]

DUDE the mald posts about how you may as well not play the game with a Flamer on the team lmao

[torn stream]

I still run Flamer Hammer like a good servant of the Emperor

[ripe quest]

1:1 with the Assail posts early into p13

[royal vortex]

there was one dude in psyker chat one time who went fucking insane that people wanted assail nerfed right after p13

[fleet zealot]

Flamer still being the best at killing crowded elites that can only really be matched by a post buff plasma vet

[royal vortex]

like just frothing at the mouth

[ripe quest]

I think I remember seeing that

A couple people got mad in gen chat too

[royal vortex]

that shit was great

[fleet zealot]

Flamer just fell off cause kanty got more and more popular and specialist spawns increased

[ripe quest]

Like 'oh why did they make it strong only to nerf it, they don't like making the game fun it's a pve game what the hell'

[torn stream]

I just don't like Kanty

[fleet zealot]

God i hate people

Who think pve games dont need balance

Your fun cant take fun away from other players and that is what assail did especially on lower diffs

[royal vortex]

NEVER nerf. only buff.

[woeful oyster]

If it wasn't limited to t2 flechette it would be an awesome bossing weapon.

[ripe quest]

I still think it's a preference thing. One covers range and has more direct damage and the other has higher burn application rates and max stacks.

[fleet zealot]

You cant powercreep everything

[median steeple]

hand cannon should've been 150%!

[torn stream]

God, my dad's one of those "no nerf only buff" people for this kind of thing and it makes me want to pull my teeth out

[fleet zealot]

Imagine if they buffed all melee weapons to pre nerf power sword level

[royal vortex]

but dont u know, literally every weapon should be competitive with a gun that just straight up doubles every stat

[coarse birch]

the one thing i will never forgive is old hounds + hunting grounds low int being all you could fucking play for a while

[fleet zealot]

And all ranged to pre nerf bolter/shredder

[royal vortex]

fucking kill me

[median steeple]

idk why I have this

[royal vortex]

unironically the worst thing ever

play hishock

double low int dogs

45 mins

wait 45 mins

[woeful oyster]

My theory is that, everything should be so strong that deciding what to use is the hardest decision to make.

[royal vortex]

double low int dogs. 45. fucking. MINUTES.

[coarse birch]

it was so terrible

[fleet zealot]

My father drinks mr pibb at room temp

[coarse birch]

it was so so ass

[royal vortex]

every weekend

[fleet zealot]

He likes it warm

[royal vortex]

oh boy i can play darktide

POWER OUTAGE

FOG

[torn stream]

What the FUCK

[fleet zealot]

The fog is coming

[coarse birch]

and it was either
Awful
Vet makes you sleep walk through it

[royal vortex]

[coarse birch]

such a terrible time

[torn stream]

oh by the way I've got a new profile pic!

[royal vortex]

thank god for the auric board

[coarse birch]

"oh boy i made a new laspistol let me try it"
fucking lights out

guess not

[fleet zealot]

He’s done worse but past that goes into traumadumping

[torn stream]

BOOM BABY

[torn stream]

RIP :(

[fleet zealot]

I hate being my blind ass

I cant stand the lights out and fog

[woeful oyster]

It's the best

[royal vortex]

me design cool 40k map

[coarse birch]

lights out was cool like atmosphericly

[royal vortex]

me force u to play modes that make u unable to see the fkin map

[median steeple]

lights out wouldn't be so bad if the passive flashlight wasnt ASS

[ripe quest]

They just split up how powerful that was into different weapons.

[coarse birch]

but being forced into it was so annoying

[fleet zealot]

If my teammates dont ping im getting lost cause i spend all my energy trying to figure out where tf i am

Normal darktide i can cope with

[median steeple]

i love lights out as vet and only vet

[royal vortex]

the first auric rotation of mercantile

[median steeple]

makes me feel like im in the first trailer for the game

[royal vortex]

was fucking hi5 lights out

[fleet zealot]

Similar colors on enemies will blend in with similar colored environments

[royal vortex]

so me and arco did the entire map

[ripe quest]

Haha

[royal vortex]

fucking blind

[woeful oyster]

play lights out without hdr and minimum brightness

[median steeple]

lego gun

lego gun

[royal vortex]

i actually thought the entire area from the first event until the first airlock was part of an event

because the horde music was on p much the whole time

[coarse birch]

the auric mission board was nicer than i thought it would be

[median steeple]

HOLY FUCK

[coarse birch]

when it came out i wasnt really running anything past damn

[median steeple]

poor bastard melted

[coarse birch]

so i didnt care

but now that i only play histg its so nice

[median steeple]

I miss when the DH first came out

and everyone was crouching around it and sneaking

[ripe quest]

I was so upset that they were so boring with the global modifier thing

[royal vortex]

im a little not pleased they introduced modifier combinations and havent expanded on it in fucking forever

[ripe quest]

They did like 2 waves of "global power outages" and "ventilation purges across the hive" and then the rest were fucking dogs

[royal vortex]

hishock mini monsters should be an auric mode

[coarse birch]

yeah they tried with elite resist

[median steeple]

omfg

the dogs

[coarse birch]

never after that

[royal vortex]

elite res
