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

ripe quest

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.

ember yew
#

Im guilty of spammin chorus every 10 seconds when i did chorus achievement with knife

rocky marsh

went fast tho

Yeah i think cdr across the board was handled wrong

i mean that isnt what im tlakign about.

rocky marsh

im talkign about people who defend it as a legitimate playstyle and not like, a meme build

zinc talon

anything with a knife in the loadout mix is already suspect for memery

fleet zealot

I think it is legitimate for some weapons

Knife, chsword

why people hating on knife

fleet zealot
#

But fucking when i see people run crit chaxe

clear knot
#

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)

its a funne.

So many problems would be fixed if Fatshark just like, wasn't scared of nerfs. I imagine it completely annoys playtesters.

its harder than god roll caxe?

yep I've taken to rolling a bad blessing at blue on a weapon I'm gonna orange

to eliminate that blessing from the potential pool

and also to put a t4 on it so that factors in the orange blessing tier

then I just change the bad blessing to whatever I want at orange

punishment for running meta vet build should be, being forced to use achyls for ur next 3 game as your main weapon

have to kill a crusher within a time limit, with this

within 30 or 60 minutes?

did you have enough bullets

zinc talon

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

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

Is Inexorable Judgement still good after the massive nerf or is it looking like another keystone talent is better?

For what exhillious said

echo fossil
#

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

fleet zealot
#

executor is good but it's a bit awkward to maintain

tawny tangle
frosty herald
#

executor on mk3 requires a very single target playstyle and good aiming'

drowsy steppe
#

It's good but executor itself is eh

fleet zealot
#

precog and riposte are way easier to use than executor since knife has amazing dodges

frosty herald
#

executor shines on mk6 knife

ripe quest
#

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.

golden seal
#

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.

ripe quest
#

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.

sterile stone
frosty herald
golden seal
#

Yes I had to completely delete the build to switch to it

#

Awful solution but a solution I guess. Thanks.

sterile stone

I can't see how people play zealot

#

is heavy sword a thing btw? never seen someone use it

sterile stone
#

Like I feel like I'm more rewarded spamming f and light attacking with the chainsword

echo fossil

i basically only use the evisc on the zealot

tawny tangle

Also the MB4 attack on the heavy sword has armor pen iirc

echo fossil
#

evisc MKXV is really fun but the special is awkward

sterile stone
#

I wanna make this known right

echo fossil
#

alright i'm gonna try to make a sword

sterile stone
#

The damage or cleave ain't the issue

#

It's the recovery after a swing

#

It feels sluggish

tawny tangle
#

Build attack speed, throw in a shove attack every once and awhile. It's not too bad

echo fossil
#

With which weapon? Chainsword?

ripe quest
#

Yee you gotta block cancel to get rid of that on the Evis.

maiden path
#

I feel a little out of place

sterile stone
#

The tigris evis

#

The hammer feels fine

#

As well as the chainsword

#

But the evis just ain't for me

echo fossil
#

ah, you mean after heavy attack?

sterile stone
#

Yeah

echo fossil
#

yeah it's sluggish for sure

sterile stone
#

Like after I swing into a horde

echo fossil
#

XV evisc though you only light into hordes

#

and it's insane for that

maiden path
#

plasma fucks so hard

#

im sad I slept on it for so long

echo fossil
#

plasma is the best ranged weapon in the game yeah

sterile stone
#

It feels like zealots benefit the most from light spam

maiden path
#

being able to cleave through 30 fucking gunners is crazy

sterile stone
maiden path
#

i wouldnt say its the best

sterile stone
#

I dunno how y'all rate it

maiden path
#

its the best in its catagory

#

category

sterile stone
#

But this is the build I'm using atm

maiden path
#

with its extremely niche want to just fucking one shot elites

echo fossil
#

you can't kill like 10-15 gunners in a few seconds with any other gun

maiden path
#

power sword and plasma carry me so hard

echo fossil
#

yeah same

maiden path
#

with an xII

echo fossil
#

huh i wouldnt know

maiden path
#

i wouildn either.........

echo fossil
#

being able to shoot through bulwak shields is obviously goated as well

maiden path
#

does less damage doe

#

not worth it.......

ripe quest
echo fossil
#

it staggers them

maiden path
#

being able to oneshot bulwarks is goated doe

echo fossil
#

i wouldn't waste ammo on hordes though typically

maiden path
#

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

echo fossil
#

it only explodes if you charge it

maiden path
#

but why just not make it useable untill it reaches 0% if it does reach 100%

#

*unusable

sterile stone
#

Because it does that in lore aswell

maiden path
#

i am tired of edging my plasma gun

sterile stone
#

It's a high risk weapon

echo fossil
#

you really shouldn't ever explode yourself. it's almost impossible to do it since you shouldn't be charging that much

maiden path
#

i did it once

#

dat bitch was not at 100%

frosty herald
#

the secret here is to not charge it when its close to 100%

maiden path
#

i was scammed

echo fossil
#

it's not like psyker, it's much harder to do accidentally

maiden path
ripe quest
maiden path
#

i gots to

#

Non charged shots when near or at 100 will auto unload head for a quick shot

frosty herald

if you charge and its at 100% it will always exploe when shot

i don't run marksman's focus so i hate braced guns, they seem unusable to me compared to columnus

tawny tangle
#

not necessary

frosty herald
#

youll explode

maiden path
#

fuck ur meta im charging my plasma gun

frosty herald
ripe quest
#

Also Boltgun def can but it's more ammo wasteful.

fair igloo
#

wait im just confused

maiden path
#

i am wary i do not care

fair igloo
#

I thought it only ever blew up if you used the M2

frosty herald
#

you can charge it to 99% and when it shoots it doesnt explode

echo fossil
#

there are times you want to charge it, if it causes you to hit a break point

#

but mostly no

tawny tangle
#

also havent used plasma in a bit but i dont think you can explode using only uncharged shots

fair igloo
#

I thought the M1 autovented whenever you were at the threshhold where it would blow you up

frosty herald
maiden path
#

god gave me the power to cleave through 3 trillion gunners and im gonna use it

sterile stone
#

If your plasma is at 100% and you try to do a uncharged shot, it won't shoot, it will instead vent the gun.

frosty herald
#

normal shots autovent

#

this

ripe quest
#

Plasma gives you a 52.5% charged shot iirc

fair igloo
#

i'm so confused???

ripe quest
#

on uncharged

maiden path
#

ill put a stop to this

#

hold on

frosty herald
#

argus is right

#

dont listen to what i said before

echo fossil
#

you cannot blow yourself up with normal shot

maiden path
#

i will confirm this

frosty herald
#

only charged shots will explode the plasma rifle

echo fossil
#

if you click again it will cool off enough to fire two more shots

#

then you click again, two more shots

fair igloo
maiden path
#

medal is 'extracting electron updates'

frosty herald
#

your best bet is to go into the psykarium and check out the breakpoints for when the rifle explodes

echo fossil
#

yeah it's actually the a decent way to keep your crit % maxed out at high heat

maiden path
#

yea uncharged doesnt explode if your at 100%

spare talon
#

But I haven't used plasma TOO much so

median steeple
#

Do people really not know

spare talon
#

Yeah I had no idea

sterile stone
#

Not many people are vet mains

echo fossil
#

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

sterile stone
#

I as a vet main must educate these uncultured zealots

median steeple
#

Uncharged spamming is hilarious

fair igloo
#

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

sterile stone
echo fossil
#

what's wrong with that?

sterile stone
#

Nothing

fair igloo
#

nothing it's just funny

#

:)

sterile stone
#

It's just a wild strat

echo fossil
#

as opposed to meleeing?

fair igloo
#

works on revolver too

ripe quest
sterile stone
#

A vet not using kraks is odd

median steeple
#

If you want a stupid thing to do use the mark keystone and use plasma

maiden path
echo fossil
#

frags are goated, what do you mean

sterile stone
#

So meleeing a ogryn is uncommon

frosty herald
#

charged shots on plasma are wayy stronger than just spamming m1

sterile stone
maiden path
#

charged shots can do uhh

#

3k?

#

i think

#

something like that

fair igloo
ripe quest
echo fossil
#

yeah it does eat ammo faster

median steeple
#

It's situational in a lot of respects

ripe quest
#

Per-shot, absolutely. Hits great breakpoints.

echo fossil
#

less damage/ammo

frosty herald
#

not dps wise but sheer raw damage

echo fossil
#

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

ripe quest
#

Also getting the extra 47.5 cleave is cool

fair igloo
#

The one thing I dislike about plasma is just how like easy it is to use

maiden path
fair igloo
#

but i guess it at least has a semi ammo weakness so it's not like assail

echo fossil
#

plasma magazine is way too big also

frosty herald
echo fossil
#

it basically shoots forever

frosty herald
#

the charge for an m1 shot throws me off completely

maiden path
fair igloo
#

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

echo fossil
#

the fact that a plasma gun can get you through 3-4 encounters before reloading is wild

median steeple
#

I rarely run out of ammo with plasma even with the surv nerf

fair igloo
#

it's like a star wars gun except its shots aren't reactable so they can't be deflected by some laser sword

It's not that bad

and one of them is a stealth knife vet with smokes

echo fossil
#

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

maiden path
echo fossil
#

i'm exaggerating saying "no difference," but for a gun as ammo efficient as PG it's big

#

yeah i only use M1

maiden path
#

ill die before i not charge m1

echo fossil
#

charging uses what like 50% more ammo per damage or something?

median steeple

Beb we just talked about how charging isn't ammo efficient for damage

maiden path
maiden path
#

fuck ur meta

#

i will charge my plasma

median steeple
echo fossil

there's absolutely a use case for charging

frosty herald
#

beb are you suffering from premature discharging when using the plasmaKEKW_ogryn

And I've seen the shit weapon spec does

echo fossil
#

very true. the 5% damage vet aura is soooo bad

maiden path

echo fossil
#

it's like 1% damage in practice

sterile stone

That's the problem with all of the auras

maiden path
#

if i use focus ill explode

#

shit ass perk

median steeple
#

Like one will always be better since the other ones are dog shit

echo fossil
#

vet damage aura should easily be 10% damage at least

maiden path
#

'erm stand still for 10 seconds and ill give a 5% damage increase!

echo fossil
#

even that might not make much difference

#

because people spec their builds to reach breakpoints

sterile stone
#

I mean

median steeple
#

Focus is gaming for las gun builds

sterile stone
#

10% of 1540 dmg

echo fossil
#

they dont do it based on auras that may or may not happen

sterile stone
#

Is alot of dmg

echo fossil
#

10% more than 1540 is just another 10% of overkill damage on a dreg gunner

i.e. a 0% increase

With funky color camo patterns

echo fossil
#

yeah that's actually a cool set

sterile stone
#

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

frosty herald
#

I wonder if well get recolors of current penance armor

echo fossil
#

bought that one as well

sterile stone
#

Tanker jacket was the best purchase ngl

frosty herald
#

Like imagine a black version of the voice of command penance but it requires 15000 toughness rehen

sterile stone
#

Was like 1k aquilas for pants and a jacket

echo fossil
#

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

frosty herald
#

LETS GOOO

#

that is NOT kiryu

sterile stone

SOOOOO many unreleased chest pieces

#

As well as legs and head pieces

frosty herald

Goddamn

Hopefully every update adds penance gear

echo fossil
#

those don't really look like shop stuff

Need heavy armor to come out

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

frosty herald

That was the very first vet shop set to come out

sterile stone

Here's more

all i want in life is that lifers sentry outfit

that shit aint never coming OUT

neon field

if i had that i would die a happy man

sterile stone

I'm confused

#

As to why only two vet armor sets

maiden path
#

when will mod that just lets me wear whatever client side coming out!!

sterile stone
#

Have the plated gloves

#

dont dan das crazy me pal

echo fossil
#

which one?

#

ive been finding the melee enemies/no ammo ones to be very easy

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

If someone else thinks ahead

#

ogryn fell off a railing twice and we wiped 😦

echo fossil
#

smite just trivializes the melee modifier

#

you're basically just going around executing crushers

burnt ivy
#

So what's up with the Crusher melee for Zealot

#

I've never used it but I've seen it being used a lot

echo fossil
#

personally i think it's not that good

north sedge
#

Personally you silly

vocal pulsar
#

crusher is really good

north sedge
#

It's very good, there's an in depth guide in pins

echo fossil
#

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

burnt ivy
#

Compared to Heavy Eviscerator and Thunder hammer how good we talkin

echo fossil
#

not saying it's "unusable" either, basically every weapon in the game can be run

neon field
#

if you can make a knife work well as veteran you can make anything work with the right build

echo fossil
#

imo vet is actually pretty good with the knife since it autoprocs for mercy killer

north sedge
#

its a better generalist weapon, than either, only loses out on boss dmg

neon field
echo fossil
#

the node

#

first hit causes bleed

neon field
#

one can wish

#

no it just gives your melee weapon one stack of bleed on hit

echo fossil
#

i'm not sure what you mean. if you hit a guy with it on your tree, you cause him to bleed

neon field
#

thats what im saying

echo fossil
#

yeah that's what's nasty about it

#

so now mercy killer is active

ivory marlin
#

hi stan

ornate bone
#

Which eviscerator was the one for better wave clear, as opposed to the one for high single target?

ripe quest
ornate bone
#

IS this good?

#

Doesnt look like it.

echo fossil
#

i like shred personally

#

rampage to shred and then groaners to unarmored imo

#

or maniac

ripe quest
#

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.

echo fossil
#

but i run the crit build so w/e

ornate bone
#

Im new to zealots, when would you advise using the special attack of the xv, for big things?

#

and hold rmb?

#

er

#

lmb

echo fossil
#

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

ripe quest
# ornate bone IS this good?

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.

ornate bone
hushed knoll
#

Hi Exhillious

hushed knoll
echo fossil
#

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

ornate bone
echo fossil
#

and crits only trigger on the first tick

#

yeah i do book too

#

i'm book evisc with shred

hushed knoll
#

@ripe quest why are you so mean to me

ornate bone
#

This is the price of the weapon

echo fossil
#

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

ornate bone
echo fossil
#

i actually run rev it up/shred on mine

#

i'm just a sucker for those utility blessings

ornate bone
#

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...

echo fossil
#

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

ornate bone
#

My current "highest rated" ranged weapon. I like this for the slug it loads...

ripe quest
visual stream
#

Purely guessing but I think bolter would be at least a good filler, columnus would also be pretty good like the other guy says

ornate bone
#

I'll have to wait to get one of those.

#

Working with what I've got.

echo fossil
visual stream
#

Shotgun could probably be good too but I can't remember the last time I used one so I can't say

echo fossil
#

this is my evisc book zeallot

ornate bone
#

Lol oh man...

visual stream
#

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

echo fossil
#

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

ripe quest
#

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.

echo fossil
#

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

#

maybe dumb dumb question to ask here but anyone played DT first , tried VT2 then found VT2 equally / more fun?

frosty herald
#

I got backstabbed by a ratling lost 1/3rd of my health and quit on the spot

drifting wolf
#

what makes you enjoy vt2 more, more of a challenge?

rocky marsh
#

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

dodging in vt2 doesnt break enemy tracking

#

it does for dt

nimble fiber
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

you basically just have to dodge at some point during an attack in dt, in vt its more precise, generally

fleet zealot
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

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

fleet zealot

fleet zealot

elfin steppe
#

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.

fleet zealot
#

or you just shove and dodge back

rocky marsh
#

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)

visual stream
rocky marsh
rocky marsh
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

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

spare dome
#

so you have two separate resources to use

rocky marsh
#

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

slow slate
#

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

spare dome
#

the actual melee, like just fighting enemies, is easier in vermintide

rocky marsh
spare dome
#

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

rocky marsh
#

so like build matter even more?

spare dome
#

there is no just hanging back to recover

rocky marsh
#

quite insane :v

spare dome
#

nah its a knowledge check

rocky marsh
#

what you mean, i thought thats build

spare dome
#

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

rocky marsh
#

thp is Temporary Health Points?

spare dome
#

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

rocky marsh
spare dome
#

is very dependent on what you are doing

rocky marsh
#

which game make u feel cooler? VT2 or DT?

spare dome
#

dt

#

i love(d) vt2, put 2k hours into it in a year

#

same as darktide really

visual stream
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

no im a degenerate

#

this is how real gamers do

rocky marsh
#

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

spare dome
#

i live in poverty, but by choice, within my means

rocky marsh
#

so sorry, discussion shouldnt be about this

#

anyway

spare dome
#

so 30hr work weeks usually

#

at a pretty easy job

#

lots of gaming time

rocky marsh
#

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

spare dome
#

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

rocky marsh
#

i see

spare dome
#

its a different kind of power fantasy

rocky marsh
#

so if you don't care about being flamed

#

you think DT just a better game?

spare dome
#

nah just different. there's definite improvements but it is made with these differences in mind

rocky marsh
spare dome
#

like we have toughness because of ranged enemies. thp would not work in this game when there are eight gunners putting holes in you

rocky marsh
#

^ me never getting auric storm without quitting before i die

spare dome
#

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'

fleet zealot
#

i have a feeling the quitting meta for that penance is going to drop winrates so hard

rocky marsh
fleet zealot
#

cause people are just gonna dc whenever something remotely bad happens

#

and bots suck ass so teams quickly get collapsecd

spare dome
#

meh, i dont need dead weight

#

bots at least have scavenger

rocky marsh
rocky marsh
spare dome
#

average is malice

#

never forget that

rocky marsh
#

average in this discord

spare dome
#

and 95% of this discord also cant win a solo run, so

rocky marsh
#

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

fleet zealot
#

i can't win a solo run

spare dome
#

probably higher than that

fleet zealot
#

i'm fucking blind and stupid

rocky marsh
#

solo run as in solo with bots or true solo

spare dome
#

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

rocky marsh
#

i think solo run playstyle not fun too

#

theres no real reward

spare dome
#

well the game is deffo not made with it in mind

fleet zealot
#

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

rocky marsh
#

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

spare dome
#

i would invert those numbers tbh

rocky marsh
#

i could never get consistent 5 yellows with a sub par build

spare dome
#

90% of the game is knowing how to avoid damage

#

slow is smooth and smooth is fast

rocky marsh
#

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

fair igloo
#

i think it's more like 50% skill 50% build unless i'm stupid

#

and unless ur playing psyker i guess

rocky marsh
#

psyker my best performing but zealot most engaging for me
I think now the levels are like +90 and +70

frosty herald
#

vt2 is def more skill based

fair igloo
#

well vt2 is just harder in general

rocky marsh
#

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

fair igloo
#

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

visual stream
#

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

rocky marsh
fair igloo
#

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

frosty herald
#

cataclysm is cataclysm

fair igloo
#

Like the threat pox hounds pose vs a gutter runner is alarmingly different

rocky marsh
fair igloo
#

both cuz toughness isn't a thing and gutter runners are just

#

MUCH more dangerous

rocky marsh
#

;-;

fair igloo
#

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

rocky marsh
#

|| i don't want psyker chat to know how much i noob i was at +3||

fair igloo
#

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

rocky marsh

ah so is like lik what emprahs said

fair igloo

I've only played legend i don't think i'd be ready for cata if 4 gutter runner spawns are normal XD

left iron
#

VT2 is harder, mainly because you have less ways to mitigate damage

rocky marsh
#

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

ornate bone
#

As in you can't sprint away from your problems

left iron
#

You are always slower than the enemies, so you cant get away from them

drifting wolf
#

you in fact cannot sprint at all

left iron

A slave rat can hit you for 50%+ of your hp if its alone

Etc

rocky marsh
#

i never kite so xD

left iron
#

Temp health ticks down, so you need to keep fighting

#

And ranged kills give no temp hp

ornate bone
#

The THP mechanic is also kind of an inverse toughness that you can't stack on top of your health

rocky marsh
#

one thin i don't like is that only one person can be the character

ornate bone
#

If you have full health, you can't get THP

rocky marsh
#

alot of people play kerillian

or the elf girl

In the meantime DT toughness exists as a separate bar

Yeah, the character thing in Darktide is actually pretty neat

Vermintide melee animations are a lot faster.

Sometimes I get stuck playing Sienna and I just don't want to play her

In DT I can play psyker at any point without worrying

worldly lagoon

But DT is better

ripe heron

Poxwalkers will take a few seconds just to swing at you.

worldly lagoon

since no elf
no elf = better game

fair igloo
#

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

ornate bone
#

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

left iron
#

WHC Saltz and FK Kruber are my jam NODDERS

drifting wolf
ornate bone
#

It's one of the reasons I don't play it as much

fair igloo
#

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

ornate bone
#

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

fair igloo
#

or that might just be cuz i only play sienna and it blends together with the high overheat/soulstealer staff charging noises

rocky marsh
#

i tot sienna has the bar

fair igloo
#

Sienna has the bar but it hurts her to quell

ornate bone
#

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

astral karma
#

just rolled this from a white, whats worth switching out?

drifting wolf
solar gorge
#

like sure, the average pub shitter who decloaks behind his target sure

fair igloo
#

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

solar gorge
#

they play well

#

they do play

fair igloo
#

Play as in the audio cues

rocky marsh
fair igloo

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
