Also worth it to get rid of the extra long path to Until Death?
my stealth loner mommentum i don't take 2nd life because 4 point
You mean not take Holy Revenant right?
i mean yeah youll have dumb fucks in here screaming like, why cant i use my chorus every 6 seconds like i could yesteerday HUH is it SO BOKEN IT NEEDED NERFED TO HELL. and itll be that onthe steam community/FS forums/DT discord for like six months
I've always thought that putting a 1 proc per swing CD on it would be nice since it still meshes with certain weapons best, but also it wouldn't fix the main issues with crit CDR. imo CDR should be something that is balanced for instead of being a global thing, so like an addon for specifically Fury or Chorus instead of something all of them can use. This applies to other classes as well.
Im guilty of spammin chorus every 10 seconds when i did chorus achievement with knife
1 sec i show u what i mean
went fast tho
Yeah i think cdr across the board was handled wrong
i mean that isnt what im tlakign about.
my only "bad take" currently is that i feel old DD was better
better as in more powerful
im talkign about people who defend it as a legitimate playstyle and not like, a meme build
anything with a knife in the loadout mix is already suspect for memery
I think it is legitimate for some weapons
Per swing or something like 0.5 sec CD, so you dont get an entire Chastice reset in one sweep
Knife, chsword
knife is good men
why people hating on knife
But fucking when i see people run crit chaxe
bcuz its legit not even like a free win build or smth with how much you can spam it. cuz if your team sucks it sucks. its just idk, memey. and thats fine but ppl try to act like its a properly viable build for w/e and its jsut not
I wanna fucking throw rocks through the windows at fatshark hq (chocolate rocks of course)
Crit rashads
i want to legit run cknife now because seems like around the same ttk as caxe,
run uncanny means i can flamer crushers
And dependent on crit mean more uptime on ability
So many problems would be fixed if Fatshark just like, wasn't scared of nerfs. I imagine it completely annoys playtesters.
Crit heavy swords
sry for ranting but like, i have grown to hate crit biulds in this game because of zealot players
damn that monkey goin thru it
Cue the clip of me Mr. Bean-ing my way through a clutch on vet
facts
Cause everytime they nerf or fix something OP a fucking vocal minority pops up and doesn’t quit
Your fine i think we all get it
probably my favorite wep in terms of generalist
Ive been sick of hsword/assail/rashaad etc forever
second one is chainaxe and then knife
but for average plaer like myself critspam crusher wepaon is the only way i could do anything decent with it :p
i dont use crusher much these days
you're missing out
im a hamer main at heart
i feel hammer too slow, like im playing ogryn
i still want a better one but this is my best so far
2 mil later
turns out this's faster than everyone swingin over each other competing for kills in total offense mode
its been way more than 2 mill
suddenly, shit aint dangerous
2 mil? Rookie numbers
bro wat
Just kill them before they kill your friends
Time for shootygryn
Yeah hammer is pain
an enemy on its ass is less dangerous than an enemy killed more quickly
let me flex real quick
that gets a cheap shot off on you or the lidlwuns
Esp if you want true perfection
Hammer is the hardest weapon to roll in the game cause of the insane blessing pool
these are my weps
oh i didn't know that
its harder than god roll caxe?
yep I've taken to rolling a bad blessing at blue on a weapon I'm gonna orange
God yes
to eliminate that blessing from the potential pool
god blast you @nocturne zealot
hammer has 10000 worthless blessings and 2 good ones
go and kill things
and also to put a t4 on it so that factors in the orange blessing tier
its so bad
then I just change the bad blessing to whatever I want at orange
and I'v egot two good blessings for just one refine slot
if you ever see laz ask him how long hes been hunting for his perfect hammer
I think you might have pinged the wrong one
grinding for cknife now because i feel cknife builds are more versatile
1 million years

oh sorri
laz has easily spent over 100mill on hammers easily im imagining
Yeah
if he put that much time into a korean mmo im sure he could have like 20K in real money by now
nah you’re fine, this is actually kinda funny
Although laz ONLY plays hammer
fair enough
cant wait to get thrust 4 randomly on my hammer
1/4th the battle
If I could get a Korean mmo with dt gameplay I prob would
i wouldn't i would hate the grind / item dependency
i should've just made 5 zealots at level 30 and hunt for blessings at melk, back in the day, too late for that now
if i get it from a emperors gift im going to piss off some people
and it will be delightful
you can use the 8 character mod i thought
i think it go up to 16 or 20
i forgot
weaboo weapon for perverts
thammer is a voidstrike staff
the legendary achlus eight
achyls takes one thousand years to swing
say that when you're holding it tough guy lol
just tryn get away with no mobility at all
by the time its done the next horus heresy started
i picked up achyls once
and i
i
never picking it up again
Imagine if Big E named his son Horus Hershey instead
And instead of falling to chaos he fell into a really big vat of chocolate
it takes a lot of money to keep these little guys housed, fed, and locked away so nobody can ever see their sinful nature
your donations help, please, donate to Stabitat for Humanity today
punishment for running meta vet build should be, being forced to use achyls for ur next 3 game as your main weapon
the timer's permanently at 8 seconds, only what you do puts time back on the clock
shooting it gets you more time
that barrage is terrifying
well yeah what you do is, shoot a smol next to the crusher
who isn't a ranged enemy, so nothing happens and you wasted your time
Brought the peashooter to Tertium
that's me tomorrow after finishing loner / backstab achievements
On a scale of 1-10 how cool do you all think my sword looks?
look like normal ds4
Well yeah but how cool is it?
I think the trinket looks a bit out of place, but that's the blade I used on mine and I quite like it
0, doesn't say Emperor protects
But it has faith on it. Only so much space on the blade after all
That's what killing 40,000+ heretics does to a blade
That’s what hitting a crusher 40k times looks like
both 🧱 ?
The left one is near perfect.
please elaborate
Just solo parried a demon host then got jumped by 2 chaos spawns
Uncanny T3 or 4 is BiS, Precog is the best single target damage blessing available with Riposte and Executor behind it, +Elites is fine, +Unarmored isn't. Only change I'd make is swapping +Unarmored to +Flak or Unyielding based on preference and build then saving the 2nd mod for future proofing.
The right one is locked to being a bleed knife but if you swap the perks it's really solid by bleed knife standards.
i'll just use the right one when i need a mobility stick, thanks
right one is good too, slap +25% Flak and Unyelding Damage
Mk6
i had the most gloriously easy auric maelstrom earlier
easier than most regular damnation missions i do
only person who got downed was a psyker who kaboomed himself
what a win for randoms
went off with all the glory
Is Inexorable Judgement still good after the massive nerf or is it looking like another keystone talent is better?
not a massive nerf
still good
5% damage lost
not massive
25% duration too ; _ ;
True
can one of you fine gentlemen tell me what the best knife and roll combination is?
massive nerf is selecting vet as your class
ghad dayum this one is going into the brick museum
I would cough never play Vet over Zealot. Shouty for life!
yikes
How did you guys using the weapon customization mod fix the ' (hook): trying to hook function or method that doesn't exist: [PackageSynchronizationManager.release_unload_delayed_packages]''
at startup
Lacerate plus flesh tearer of course. Also use the catachan devil claw
As for perks you'll want stamina and damage to unarmored
Warhammer 40,000 DARKTIDE\mods\weapon_customization\scripts\mods\weapon_customization\patches\
How cool is my revolver now?
god i love parry
Flesh tearer + mercy killer with +damage perks of your choice. I personally recommend maniac and unyielding or MAAAYBe carapace if that's your thing. Can also swap flesh tearer for uncanny if you prefer direct damage but your hoard clear will be worse
can this one be saved? spent 3 mil dockets thats the last i got
Cool thanks. Mk3 or 6?
no lol
Uncanny + Precog/Riposte/Executor. Mobility is the dump, above 50% gets you the dodge breakpoint. Perks are Flak/Maniac/Unyielding/Elites. Cara is fine on the VI. We have a weapon table in pins. Avoid bleed generally, Flesh Tearer + Uncanny is the best combo if you really want it.
First time someone actually said flesh tearer and lacerates a bricked knife. Based
swap haymaker to executor or precognition and elite damage to carapace or smt
It's saveable yea
knife variant doesn't matter too much it's just preference, mk3 has strong single target with the stab heavies, mk6 is better at general use with slashes for heavy
For what exhillious said
Uncanny/Executor is good? I have a 549 uncanny/executor flak/maniac mk iii on my zealot
but i really didn't like it much
executor resetting so much is annoying
executor is good but it's a bit awkward to maintain
Mk3 is more single target and has mk6 is almost all cleaving attacks. Both only have I think 3 cleave though
executor on mk3 requires a very single target playstyle and good aiming'
It's good but executor itself is eh
precog and riposte are way easier to use than executor since knife has amazing dodges
executor shines on mk6 knife
Executor is fine but it's less damage than Precog and has a skill requirement for upkeep. Has more value on the VI where you can get multiple stacks per swing and you get the cleave.
Has anyone gotten a bug where they can no longer select a build and the game switches to it?
Every time I select one of my builds my stuff does not change over
I can switch to any of the other 4 though, restarting doesn't fix it.
If you delete the loadout and make a new one does that new one work?
I recall some people having issues with them and it pops up between updates, resetting loadouts seemed to fix it.

what can i say swiping heavies
Yes I had to completely delete the build to switch to it
Awful solution but a solution I guess. Thanks.
I can't see how people play zealot
Can't see us cuz were invisible 🙂
IT feels like I'm swinging a cinderblock when I heavy
Meanwhile using a heavy with everything else feels fluid
I big damage with stick that does boom and I get boomage with fire and explosions
What weapon lol?
Tigris
is heavy sword a thing btw? never seen someone use it
Like I feel like I'm more rewarded spamming f and light attacking with the chainsword
i basically only use the evisc on the zealot
Heavy sword is very good against everything that isn't an ogryn/mauler
It's great, Deathblow gives it phenomenal mixed horde clear if you can hit breakpoints.
Also the MB4 attack on the heavy sword has armor pen iirc
evisc MKXV is really fun but the special is awkward
I wanna make this known right
alright i'm gonna try to make a sword
The damage or cleave ain't the issue
It's the recovery after a swing
It feels sluggish
Build attack speed, throw in a shove attack every once and awhile. It's not too bad
With which weapon? Chainsword?
Yee you gotta block cancel to get rid of that on the Evis.
I feel a little out of place
The tigris evis
The hammer feels fine
As well as the chainsword
But the evis just ain't for me
ah, you mean after heavy attack?
Yeah
yeah it's sluggish for sure
Like after I swing into a horde
plasma is the best ranged weapon in the game yeah
It feels like zealots benefit the most from light spam
being able to cleave through 30 fucking gunners is crazy
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9a4fa304-0b88-4cf8-827a-d0435327a8c3/zealot-meta-no-stealth
i wouldnt say its the best
I dunno how y'all rate it
But this is the build I'm using atm
with its extremely niche want to just fucking one shot elites
you can't kill like 10-15 gunners in a few seconds with any other gun
power sword and plasma carry me so hard
yeah same
good aim
with an xII
huh i wouldnt know
i wouildn either.........
being able to shoot through bulwak shields is obviously goated as well
It's on the lower end of horde clear.
it staggers them
being able to oneshot bulwarks is goated doe
i wouldn't waste ammo on hordes though typically
feels great to drop a bulwark from like 300 feet away
I WISH IT DIDNT FUCKING EXPLODE ONCE IT REACHED 100% THOUGH
i can understand the overheating mechanic
it only explodes if you charge it
but why just not make it useable untill it reaches 0% if it does reach 100%
*unusable
Because it does that in lore aswell
i am tired of edging my plasma gun
It's a high risk weapon
you really shouldn't ever explode yourself. it's almost impossible to do it since you shouldn't be charging that much
the secret here is to not charge it when its close to 100%
i was scammed
it's not like psyker, it's much harder to do accidentally
if i see more then 4 gunners lined up im gonna chrage it
Boltgun, Agri and Lawby Shotgun w/ Manstopper setups, Zarona Revolver, certain Brauto and IAG variants.
i gots to
Non charged shots when near or at 100 will auto unload head for a quick shot
if you charge and its at 100% it will always exploe when shot
plasma fucks hard though
i don't think you can kill 10-15 gunners with most of those guns with the same ease
normal shots wont explode until you reach 100 and shoot again
wtf
didnt know dat..
charging the plasma
Brace guns existing
bro dont want 200% cleave
M1 lets you shoot if ur at exactly 100??
Depending on density, maybe not. However it's not unique to Plasma.
i don't run marksman's focus so i hate braced guns, they seem unusable to me compared to columnus
not necessary
fuck ur meta im charging my plasma gun
just be wary
Also Boltgun def can but it's more ammo wasteful.
wait im just confused
i am wary i do not care
I thought it only ever blew up if you used the M2
you can charge it to 99% and when it shoots it doesnt explode
there are times you want to charge it, if it causes you to hit a break point
but mostly no
also havent used plasma in a bit but i dont think you can explode using only uncharged shots
I thought the M1 autovented whenever you were at the threshhold where it would blow you up
this is true
god gave me the power to cleave through 3 trillion gunners and im gonna use it
If your plasma is at 100% and you try to do a uncharged shot, it won't shoot, it will instead vent the gun.
Plasma gives you a 52.5% charged shot iirc
i'm so confused???
on uncharged
it does
you cannot blow yourself up with normal shot
i will confirm this
only charged shots will explode the plasma rifle
if you click again it will cool off enough to fire two more shots
then you click again, two more shots
ya that's why i was so confused cuz i swear i saw ppl saying they were blowing up when M1ing
People are not intelligent
medal is 'extracting electron updates'
your best bet is to go into the psykarium and check out the breakpoints for when the rifle explodes
yeah it's actually the a decent way to keep your crit % maxed out at high heat
yea uncharged doesnt explode if your at 100%
I actually didn't know that
But I haven't used plasma TOO much so
Do people really not know
Yeah I had no idea
Not many people are vet mains
there's just no benefit to charging at high heat imo anyway since if you're charging you're doing it to reach a breakpoint to one shot something, otherwise it's more DPS efficient to spam M1
I as a vet main must educate these uncultured zealots
Uncharged spamming is hilarious
vet is my least played and that was like one of the first things i learned about plas cuz i asked
i feel like if the game plan is just to spam M1 it's a good idea to test whether or not how effectively u can spam it
I've seen people just blast away uncharged shots on ogs
what's wrong with that?
Nothing
It's just a wild strat
as opposed to meleeing?
works on revolver too
It's so funny to me that, for free, you can spam m1 and get maxed out +crit damage and +crit chance from Gets Hot.
A vet not using kraks is odd
If you want a stupid thing to do use the mark keystone and use plasma
Watch Untitled and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
frags are goated, what do you mean
So meleeing a ogryn is uncommon
charged shots on plasma are wayy stronger than just spamming m1

Blaze away 💔 💔
Yeah but it's not stronger in terms of ammo to damage.
DPS-wise? are you sure?
yeah it does eat ammo faster
It's situational in a lot of respects
Per-shot, absolutely. Hits great breakpoints.
less damage/ammo
not dps wise but sheer raw damage
right so you do charged shot on the handful of enemies that it matters for
anything it lets you one shot, if something takes more than one charged shot you shouldnt be charging
Also getting the extra 47.5 cleave is cool
The one thing I dislike about plasma is just how like easy it is to use
Watch Untitled and millions of other Warhammer 40,000: Darktide videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
but i guess it at least has a semi ammo weakness so it's not like assail
plasma magazine is way too big also
i have a horrible time using it
it basically shoots forever
the charge for an m1 shot throws me off completely
ignore me fucking up the shield
Before the survivalist nerf u could literally kill an entire horde of specials/elites in like 15 seconds and end up with as much ammo as u used to kill them with loll
the fact that a plasma gun can get you through 3-4 encounters before reloading is wild
I rarely run out of ammo with plasma even with the surv nerf
it's like a star wars gun except its shots aren't reactable so they can't be deflected by some laser sword
i honestly haven't played vet in agesss so i don't even know how bad the surv nerf is outside of ammo regen on my other classes when we have a surv vet which i don't really care about
It's not that bad
IDK what the doomsaying was all about
I know a Metal Gear in-game cosplayer who has 5 vets and they're all versions of snake
Nah man shout out to the people who use 5% movement speed aura
and one of them is a stealth knife vet with smokes
i've been playing survival vet with plasma gun/power sword and even on auric maelstrom no ammo/melee enemies condition it makes no difference
did a couple last night and ended with 80% ammo left
maybe if the only thing u use is the m1
i'm exaggerating saying "no difference," but for a gun as ammo efficient as PG it's big
yeah i only use M1
ill die before i not charge m1
charging uses what like 50% more ammo per damage or something?
Beb we just talked about how charging isn't ammo efficient for damage
i am right
fuck ur meta
i will charge my plasma
there's absolutely a use case for charging
it's just stupid if you're using it exclusively
since you're like, massively overkilling some enemies
You can oneshot muties with charge shots iirc
40k lore master bribkey
silence hadron
You can oneshot gunners with headshots?
if they are an ogryn I charge it
if they are anything else i m1
yea
with tag atleast
Yeah you don't need to charge
I know you can I was bringing up
i love tag
i think if you go all in for it you can 1 shot crushers on a non crit with a charged shot
only useful vet
tbh if you're not specced to one shot an ogryn with charged, it doesnt really matter if you M1 or M2
passiv
Well it's either tag keystone or weapon spec
beb are you suffering from premature discharging when using the plasma
And I've seen the shit weapon spec does
no
very true. the 5% damage vet aura is soooo bad
premeature ed
it's like 1% damage in practice
No keystone gaming
That's the problem with all of the auras
Like one will always be better since the other ones are dog shit
vet damage aura should easily be 10% damage at least
'erm stand still for 10 seconds and ill give a 5% damage increase!
even that might not make much difference
because people spec their builds to reach breakpoints
I mean
Focus is gaming for las gun builds
10% of 1540 dmg
they dont do it based on auras that may or may not happen
Is alot of dmg
10% more than 1540 is just another 10% of overkill damage on a dreg gunner
i.e. a 0% increase
i run improv 100% of the time but i dont like having to
Should've been an aura
i just feel like that guy if i'm not
what do i add to my plasma :thinking monkey:
Fucking killed me love (I still use it)
I've ran several games
ignore the 640 plasteel
I'm one of those 
Everyone runs these pants with the squad leader top
The green bionic leg?
Where TF are those pants from I forgot
The black one
wtf are those pants
erm they better be free
Penance track pants
track pants
Need
From cash shop
informal poll here, do any of you guys have a 550 with ostensibly "pefect" rolls?
This was the entire set
Oh God not that ass chest piece
Almost every i've seen

almost there
Beb
You could get it done in 1 game
imagine someone going 5% DMG aura and not taking improv
I need the mod to show the entire tree
Meh
But I am now leaning heavily into shout spam
It's just too good
It keeps god awful teammates alive
Talent tree for my own, so 
If you see any fire or gas its free toughness for the penance
Dang ole scrimbo bimbler
erm i play the game as intended......
So many of vet's penances are cheesable
whatchu want boy!!
I can't wait to rock the full set man
no dum dum
I'm tempted to do a stealth weapon spec build
dumdum/ranged sprint immunity is The Way imo
Im still wondering what that other version of the chest is
The one that doesn't have a reef on the pauldron
With funky color camo patterns
yeah that's actually a cool set
Well
We gotta remember
All these armor sets have a base color pallette
Which is like dark olive drab
Or in some cases
Like a dark tan
I wonder if well get recolors of current penance armor
i love that khaki collared jacket
bought that one as well
Tanker jacket was the best purchase ngl
Like imagine a black version of the voice of command penance but it requires 15000 toughness rehen
Was like 1k aquilas for pants and a jacket
they didn't get me on the elysian set for my vet but i had to get it for my ogryn, ogryn with the new set is too funny
fits with base color shield too
Let me show you something
There's still
SOOOOO many unreleased chest pieces
As well as legs and head pieces
those don't really look like shop stuff
oh yea this is whati was talking about
imo they kinda shot themselves in the foot not putting that stuff in sooner assuming its not new
i want that
That was the very first vet shop set to come out
exactly
all i want in life is that lifers sentry outfit
that shit aint never coming OUT
if i had that i would die a happy man
when will mod that just lets me wear whatever client side coming out!!
Have the plated gloves
Damn thats crazy
happened again
dont dan das crazy me pal
I did most of the ass penance in hunting grounds and waves of mutants/bursters
hunting grounds is another good one for the maelstrom survivor
Good morning zealot chat
As long as it's no nurgle blessing zap fingers psyker helps a good amount for those
i did 4 easy ones in a row yesterday and then got I-II VEG on carnival with a team that was only 2/4ths of the one i started with
If someone else thinks ahead
ogryn fell off a railing twice and we wiped 😦
yeah that's what we did it with
smite just trivializes the melee modifier
you're basically just going around executing crushers
So what's up with the Crusher melee for Zealot
I've never used it but I've seen it being used a lot
personally i think it's not that good
Personally you silly
crusher is really good
It's very good, there's an in depth guide in pins
i dunno i'm just going off of my experience of how good i've seen people do with various weapons
not seen to many people with crushers outperform other weapons
Compared to Heavy Eviscerator and Thunder hammer how good we talkin
not saying it's "unusable" either, basically every weapon in the game can be run
if you can make a knife work well as veteran you can make anything work with the right build
imo vet is actually pretty good with the knife since it autoprocs for mercy killer
its a better generalist weapon, than either, only loses out on boss dmg
wait is that with serrated blade for veteran or does he just auto proc bleed with it?
i'm not sure what you mean. if you hit a guy with it on your tree, you cause him to bleed
thats what im saying
Hi Mankar 
hi stan
Which eviscerator was the one for better wave clear, as opposed to the one for high single target?
Mk II for crowds, Mk XV for single target.
i like shred personally
rampage to shred and then groaners to unarmored imo
or maniac
Mercy Killer would be interesting if it wasn't in an environment where you can get knife to 1-2 shot stuff anyways and if it could provide some benefit over competition since it only applies after the first hit.
but i run the crit build so w/e
Im new to zealots, when would you advise using the special attack of the xv, for big things?
and hold rmb?
er
lmb
so there's actually a lot to that question
you have to go to the psykhanium and test breakpoints for special+light and special+heavy
if you're trying to minmax
With normal builds you'd just swap +Fodder to +Maniac/Unyielding/Elites (I've heard Unarmored but test BPs yourself). For blessings keep Rampage, swap Savage Sweep on preference, Bloodthirsty and Shred are popular picks.
Not trying to minmax, just seeking general approach to start.
Hi Exhillious

so yeah in general you use special attack to kill anything you can one shot with it, plus crushers
if you're running the dash ability you also one shot crushers
but iirc they may have nerfed that in the latest patch
Carrying the good book.
and crits only trigger on the first tick
yeah i do book too
i'm book evisc with shred
@ripe quest why are you so mean to me
This is the price of the weapon
ah you just recently hit 30?
yeah i mean that'll get you started
you can run that for a while until you find something closer to max
i love the XV personally
On this toon, ya. I main psyker and ogryn mostly.
i actually run rev it up/shred on mine
i'm just a sucker for those utility blessings
So if I have a weapon thats good with both popcorn and steaks, (small guys and big guys) where does that leave my weapon? I think sniping for far off targets...
so imo the XV is good at horde clear and popping single large elites, but it fails at rager packs
i like the columnus for that
My current "highest rated" ranged weapon. I like this for the slug it loads...
Where did you hear this? crits seem to be working fine.
Purely guessing but I think bolter would be at least a good filler, columnus would also be pretty good like the other guy says
i read the patch notes, but i could be misremembering, i've only been playing vet post patch
Shotgun could probably be good too but I can't remember the last time I used one so I can't say
Lol oh man...
If you have lots of bases covered by your melee weapon then it leaves a lot of room for whatever you want to lean into, I like bolter because it's a heavy hitter plus I can deal with snipers and bomber, and can make space if I'm in a desparate spot
you really dont need rev it up though, i just like it
sometimes i spend 2 points to get swift certainty and that sprint speed goes crazy though
There's like, no mention of crit in the patch notes outside of Blazing Piety.
Crit works fine, maybe you're thinking of the issue regarding chain weapons and damage ults? Crit is the only thing that works with that interaction though.
Ah I remember now, it was way dumber than that, i was looking at old patch notes when i googled "darktide patch notes"
and it wasn't even the same thing anyway
well in that case, evisc dash is insane since you one shot crushers
but i'm a chorus andy as i say
Stanis!


Show ogryn gameplay
Would a sad ogryn be an ofrown

Another useless auric pub
I had to solo a plogryn and at the 3 battery event they just all died
im ready........
so fucken tired

today ends my 53hr week
i get one day off, and then do it again next week
and then finally our schedule will make some sense
I knew you could be the gamer I know you could be
Holy shit I just got shown what I have to get prepared for, in Division 2... as far as Legendary difficulty goes...
I got my ass handed to me harder than when I was first trying to learn Heresy in Darktide... with a t1 lascerate knife build...
maybe dumb dumb question to ask here but anyone played DT first , tried VT2 then found VT2 equally / more fun?
I got backstabbed by a ratling lost 1/3rd of my health and quit on the spot
what makes you enjoy vt2 more, more of a challenge?

im not saying i did, im asking if anyone did
Like after they play DT maybe they got better at tide or sumting
bnecause when i tried VT2 i didnt like it ver ymuch
it's beautiful 🥺
bigos digos
Like a shiny malachite
Honestly if you told me that ws a legendary tier PS
I'd buy it
hi argus
i think darktides combat is more punchy and it feels good to play but vermintide is a better challenge with more fun melee weapons to use
is vt2 more of a challenge? Why> genujinely asking bnecausse idk about vt2
I think VT is more challenging, partly out of design and partly out of the fact that the flank attack noise is as loud as a wind draft indoors compared to DT
It is super fun too though
yeah the flank attack is harder to detect and tempHP is a lot less forgiving than shields
Thanks for the weird compliment C:
what u mean {"by design"
Like you need to learn tech or wat
i feel it fit the roman theme
I have a design idea
Now hear me out
We have a mess hall
And we can choose differen buffs to temporarily get
Less movement options, much more punishing, it actually matters which direction you dodge unlike DT, also what Knightak said
different variations of corpse starch
how come matter whic hdirection you ddodge

Lots of enemies like the big armored chaos soldiers or the big shirtless dudes with axes will still hit you if you dodge in the wrong direction
good idea
tha t sound like something ayou get down after liek 10 hours tho
like how last time mutie can only dodge left
you basically just have to dodge at some point during an attack in dt, in vt its more precise, generally
does it matter in practice when like you have 5 enemies infront of u? I assume they attack at different times
but honestly its just a different game. you can block pretty much everything in VT2 for melee, overheads included
and pushes are a lot more potent
^
yes. cause in DT if you spam block after your guard is broken, you can still block
not really, you just dodge again at that point or youre already somewhere else. or the targets are dead
I just kicked a guy in HD2. The dude joined diff 9 game while below level 30, used all my artillery rounds, died several times, and didn't finish any objectives.
or you just shove and dodge back
beacause DT is alwyas on the edge of "this is getting repetitigve" and "i want to try this new build" for me lol
Because i feel at the base DT quite easy (and i don't really want t olearn clutching because kiting in thsi game is not fun for me)
It's the simple fact that it's something else to look out for and less forgiving, so it's more challenging even if you know how to avoid it because positioning is tighter
i see, liek the hallways and corridors smaller?
can you dodge side then dodge back?
are there maximum dodges like in DT
in vt2 i never really get when i should block and when i should attack
you learn it, same as dt. its a dance
dodges are generally shittier but recharge faster. weapons have different dodge counts.
and stamina regen is not impacted by dodges
so you have two separate resources to use
the dt melee i feel quite easy tho
dodge after 2 lights, then coinflip if you want to shove
if no more dodge just shove
is the penance there is nothing but the abys for zealot bugged i have gotten it but my buddy keeps healing more tyhan 25% of his hp but still doesnt get it
the actual melee, like just fighting enemies, is easier in vermintide
i feel the vt2 one not as easy
its everything else that's harder
THP is much less friendly than toughness
if you have a bad talent for THP generation for the weapon you chose it's almost as bad as having none
you HAVE to be fighting to earn THP to stay alive
so like build matter even more?
there is no just hanging back to recover
quite insane :v
nah its a knowledge check
what you mean, i thought thats build
well if you take a shield, and you arent using thp on stagger, you're missing out. but that doesnt mean you cant make it work with thp on cleave
thp is Temporary Health Points?
but at lower difficulties, enemies dont give you stagger thp if they die from the attack
so its a knowledge check, knowing what to pick
ah so that part is the knowledge check
is very dependent on what you are doing
which game make u feel cooler? VT2 or DT?
mfw someone steals my chaos warrior while I have the kill=thp talent 
fkn right
goddam are you a student
those are like student gaming hours
i assume you work a pretty normal job or have flexible working hours
when i was a student the best i did was like 4k in 3-4 years
i live in poverty, but by choice, within my means
no other "casual but action" game for me ;-;
DRG
i don't like
idk why
i just don't "get" it
its not fun
HD2 is (for me) HD1 but worse
but ya just being able to headlong sprint at enemy shooter lines feels amazing in dt and you feel unstoppable
vt2 felt more like being an unbreakable rock in a line
i see
its a different kind of power fantasy
nah just different. there's definite improvements but it is made with these differences in mind
that feeling is worth dying for thats why im never getting auric storm
like we have toughness because of ranged enemies. thp would not work in this game when there are eight gunners putting holes in you
but blocking isnt as impactful so that players still rely on dodges for key attacks
and stamina is now a resource shared between blocking and sprinting
And sprinting is really just 'blocking but ranged'
i have a feeling the quitting meta for that penance is going to drop winrates so hard
wouldn't it boost winrates
or you mean drop for other peepo
cause people are just gonna dc whenever something remotely bad happens
and bots suck ass so teams quickly get collapsecd
but but you going get shot from other direction
peepo keep saying you can run at angle, which i know, but its rare that gunners don't spready out and only on one side, or that the hallway is large enough you can run at angle
im average only, i can't survive the game with 3 bots
average in this discord
and 95% of this discord also cant win a solo run, so
which to me means consistently getting 5 yellows on your best build/class but still knowing you are worse just by looking at other peepo's vods
i can't win a solo run
probably higher than that
i'm fucking blind and stupid
solo run as in solo with bots or true solo
i know i can do it, but putting in the time do actually do it is like, eugh. so officially no i cannot
a solo run is soooooo looooooong
and exhausting
well the game is deffo not made with it in mind
that's why i vanguard for my team, I simply kill everything I perceive so hopefully my team kills the other junk and doesn't die
i rather learn like some setup/ combo on a fighting game
@spare dome tbh because i feel this game is like 70-80% build
then the rest is dodging on funny sound and shooting the worst bad man
i would invert those numbers tbh
i could never get consistent 5 yellows with a sub par build
and the dodge + target priority not hard, and also doesn't take long to learn
so i fele what differentiates me from the average pub player is build
i think it's more like 50% skill 50% build unless i'm stupid
and unless ur playing psyker i guess
psyker my best performing but zealot most engaging for me
I think now the levels are like +90 and +70
vt2 is def more skill based
well vt2 is just harder in general
like literally voidstrike the only real hard thing to learn is how to setup your positioning and some mentality stuff
once thats down all im pressing is two buttons
I think i'm around like lvl 160 on my zealot and then like 280 on my ogryn and 110 on my psyker
and then veteran who i like never touch
Speaking of VT2 I reallllly love it, I also like the waves dlc update thing :)
I don't really like how 60% of its content is locked behind paywall but
can't complain since they gave the base game away for free
Imo VT2 has less threats that can appear at the same time/less varied threats, so it's less to worry about but you need to focus more and those threats are individually more dangerous. In DT it gets more challenging than VT when every threat in the game is competing for the kill steal at the same time because there are more mechanics and numbers to worry about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09SNk4KU7Mo
@spare dome this is the only video i have of my psyker
I don't think im doing anything mechanically different from the average pubber
I don't have the cataclysm dlc for VT2 but this probably makes sense
I wouldn't say DT gets more challenging i would probably just say it's difficult in a different way or aspect
cuz like the darktide player characters are definitely stupid overpowered so the enemies kinda need to be spammed in numbers for them to be any type of threat
cataclysm is cataclysm
Like the threat pox hounds pose vs a gutter runner is alarmingly different
ohhhh, thanks for the explanation
plos be kind, this was when i was +3
;-;
Hounds have wayy more audio cues, can be shoved from 4 miles away and are extremely slow in their pounce, even if they pounce you they deal miniscule damage and can be easily knocked off by like 1 point of damage
Gutter runners are more subtle and their pounce is way faster and much deadlier when it comes to immediate damage
Like the damage a gutter runner will do to a player if they get shot off immediately is probably as much damage a pox hound would do in a few seconds with a horde to support it
|| i don't want psyker chat to know how much i noob i was at +3||
dammm
And if that gutter runner is on u for a few seconds?? say goodbye to like 60%+ of ur hp 💔
despite both being tide games i think both differ greatly just at their foundation
even just the presence of dodgesliding in darktide makes combat extremely different but i might just be stupid
ah so is like lik what emprahs said
watching such an old video is weird because my movement is so janky and weird
Also gutter runners sometimes do this
LOL wtf???
Spawns enough of them to pin the team instantly
Is that cata??
Yes
I've only played legend i don't think i'd be ready for cata if 4 gutter runner spawns are normal XD
VT2 is harder, mainly because you have less ways to mitigate damage
less ways mean, you get damaged more or like you need to know how to mitigate damage / be more on point without relying on build
As in you can't sprint away from your problems
You are always slower than the enemies, so you cant get away from them
you in fact cannot sprint at all
i never kite so xD
The THP mechanic is also kind of an inverse toughness that you can't stack on top of your health
one thin i don't like is that only one person can be the character
If you have full health, you can't get THP
In the meantime DT toughness exists as a separate bar
ohhhh
warhammer fantasy as a whole wouldn't be ready for 4 saltzpyres
Yeah, the character thing in Darktide is actually pretty neat
i googled best vt2 class and it says elf girl so i picked elf girl
Oh also friendly fire exists
Vermintide melee animations are a lot faster.
Sometimes I get stuck playing Sienna and I just don't want to play her
I don't know which game is harder
In DT I can play psyker at any point without worrying
But DT is better
Poxwalkers will take a few seconds just to swing at you.
since no elf
no elf = better game
i've ilterally only ever played necromancer sienna I love it lolll
and like 2 matches of mercenary kruber and then i got bored of him
Vermintide also has a noticeable ping delay for dodging and blocking
Sometimes you can be in a block state and the server hasn't recognized it yet, so you eat shit
WHC Saltz and FK Kruber are my jam 
i'm not sure if i'd say there's a definitive "best" class as each character has different careers that excel at different things. that being said, it's witch hunter captain
hmmmm
It's one of the reasons I don't play it as much
oh also the audio cues for things like melee enemy attacks behind you are alot more subtle so u won't be able to get away with blasting music while playing like u can in DT
It's fine when I play with people from my region, but it really fucking sucks to play with anyone in the US for me
or that might just be cuz i only play sienna and it blends together with the high overheat/soulstealer staff charging noises
i tot sienna has the bar
Sienna has the bar but it hurts her to quell
I can eat Darktide's occasional shitty hitreg because at least the dodge and block are extremely reliable
I'll be able to play with US people just fine, if with some janky melee animations
Honestly when I tried VT2 I never realized just how much i would miss dodgesliding until it was gone
that's how i play cata
@frosty herald IM ALIVE FOO
with music blasting
Im playing helldivers
I tried doing that but I just can't hear it cuz i'm not good enough and then my face hits the concrete
what faction you fighting with what weapons and what armor weight class
wow.........
i can only do it in darktide cuz it's like obvious enough for a baby
dont forget there's no sprint
OH THAT TOO
i also can't shake the feeling htat meeling stuff in vt2 feels like bashing stuff in l4d2


also it might just be me but I feel like the melee in VT2 is just less satisfying for some reason
like ik it's good but i feel like it has less impact or something for some reason
I'm never going to be able to escape that game
so its not just me :v
tbf spy's audio cues are also blaringly obvious
you won't hear a decent spy
what other casual games you guys play
just rolled this from a white, whats worth switching out?
what defines a casual game
like sure, the average pub shitter who decloaks behind his target sure
You won't hear a decent spy because they make sure to either do things w/ their audio cues out of hearing range or when the cues DO play it's when they've already done something like stabbed a teammate
but that's not because spy's audio cues aren't obvious that's because the players are doing things so that u know
they just don't play
Play as in the audio cues
not competitive
(and not hard, but i know peepo will reply hard is subjective. For reference i don't feel this game is hard in-game)
borderlands
Good spies will either mask the audio over other audio like during a frontline fight or they'll decloak out of range so the sound effect just doesn't play on their target's end
i knowww
5.6k here o/
which one?
i have 4k hours on tf2 and all of those are spent on source mods
24/7 zf
idk so much fun stuff
Vicious slice into rampage, unyielding into flak/maniacs, up to you, if you're keen on keeping this one.
