[full nebula]

Darktide needs something like a Siren because people would hate it

[fleet zealot]

god the shuriken zoom is giving me a headache

[fleet zealot]

so bulwarks

[full nebula]

Bulwarks don't destroy nades

[fleet zealot]

unless you mean nade destroying which in that case you are evil

[full nebula]

[placid fiber]

bulwarks that pick you up and take you home with them

[sterile stone]

Apparently sirens this go around destroy EVERYTHING

[fleet zealot]

are the "characters" outlined, is that what i'm seeing, it seems so conflicted in visual style design

[tidal berry]

just give the cultists some psykers with bubble shields too because it would be very funny

[full nebula]

Yeah, they destroy anything thrown at them or near them if they're screaming.

Gonna be a case of kill it before it goes off

[tidal berry]

ok hookrat

[full nebula]

I'd honestly be fine with a nurgle hookrat, something that drags you away.

[fleet zealot]

like just multiple things visually is giving me an ick I can't even specifically describe outside of "slop vibes"

[placid fiber]

I went and decided to listen to what the song from the last spell actually sounded, during the boss fights since I was watching someone's stream for youtube on it. What I had heard, since I listen to youtube on my phone, was good but it was hard to really hear what it sounded like... I am going to listen to the rest of the ost later, but, holy fuck I love this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iBexxYkTBw

[full nebula]

Scrab with an electric shockcollar on a rod for your neck

[fleet zealot]

this is like you gave the visual design of your game to the people who make "minecraft in real life" animations

[tidal berry]

thats cause it is indeed the slop ick

[full nebula]

Game was probably rushed tbh, probably why theres lack of detail and whatnot. Also unreal engine 5 so you know it was probably a nightmare with what they had.

[tidal berry]

wasnt UE5 supposed to be good for gamedevs and shit? lmao

[fleet zealot]

no dt was rushed

[full nebula]

UE5 is actually horrible for making games from what I understand

[copper hawk]

FLIP u mother FLIPPER

[fleet zealot]

this looks like it won't be changed

[placid fiber]

Also: This thing is pretty fucking big for a human to have to face off against... hero or not >.>

[tidal berry]

Then why is everyone using it to make slop

[full nebula]

I would be very surprised if they made any major changes at this point, barely a month from release.

[tidal berry]

I haven't yet played an UE5 game that has anything going for it except motion blur lmao

[fleet zealot]

boot up new game, esc, settings, graphics

Motion blur off, depth of field off

[tidal berry]

Its just like, ''ooh look this game was made in UE5'' and I look at the game its like, slop

[full nebula]

UE5 makes good looking games, but apparently is terrible to use for game development overall

[tidal berry]

Nowadays need to also take off TAA for something else, DLAA, FSR, whatever else it has.

[fleet zealot]

it could just be inexperienced devs working on a new system and not being able to capture an artstyle properly yet, if you want the non malicious answer

companies hire UE5 trained devs, most likely these devs are going to be young and fresh from school since the older devs most likely already have their jobs or laid off somewhere idk

[placid fiber]

Also, Bandit. This is what happens to a ferret if you feed it fish and sterroids <_<

[fleet zealot]

i don't think that's a ferret skull, i recognize the skull but i can' remeber what animal

[full nebula]

Idk I can't say for certain, I know little to nothing about coding and game development. Either way my guess is KF3 will probably be a resounding "meh"

https://tenor.com/view/mediocre-mad-max-immortan-immortanjoe-gif-19414436

[placid fiber]

It's the 2nd town's boss in the game "The Last Spell". I think it's supposed to be a monster version of a sea snake/dragon type sea snake

[tidal berry]

I'm not worried I'll have monhun to keep me entertained. Either that or my PC will burn down trying to play it.

[full nebula]

I've still got a backlog of shit but I just play darktide.

[fleet zealot]

oh god not the sequel to a game that had a ton of variety via dlc and updates

oh no no no no ahahahahaha

[full nebula]

Apparently all dlc is going to be cosmetic only. They also said that for KF2

[placid fiber]

I was just saying it has the same body profile, more or less, of a ferret if it was a fish/sea serpent as well(just immensely bigger) >.>

[sterile stone]

https://tenor.com/view/todd-howard-howard-nodding-gif-13246550

[grizzled aspen]

MORE GODRAYS

[fleet zealot]

honestly if they have a starting loadout like this following kf2 (MED BAT MY BELOVED) I hope they have weapon dlc at least

HEMOCLOBBER

[full nebula]

Apparently they're going to add more weapons post launch, whether those will be premium, is yet to be seen.

[naive wharf]

anybody know when any of these armors get put on the commodore?

[placid fiber]

Is that where you put jagged edges on a club so that you both skewer and bludgeon the thing you're hitting it with?

[naive wharf]

they're some of the few that have nice looking armored gauntlets

[full nebula]

Completely random. Haven't seen those sets for a year+

[sterile stone]

Outiside of all the screeching and hate, I'll give it a shot.

[sterile stone]

There's a 3rd version of this where it's black and red.

[full nebula]

I'm still gonna give it a try, if I don't like it I'll just refund it. Sure as fuck not preordering though.

[sterile stone]

I don't think it's ever released though.

[full nebula]

I don't have either of those sets, wish I did though. Like to have the silver one.

[timber wigeon]

Hi

[fleet zealot]

bat you hit your teammates with to heal them

[full nebula]

Medic was my main on KF1

[sterile stone]

Berserker/medic hybrid weapon

[timber wigeon]

I haven't played kf2 in years

It's finally getting an update?

[full nebula]

Killing floor was a lot different from the design philosophy of something like Darktide. In the first game on Hell on Earth you basically had to run laps like Cod zombies, or you had to barricade yourself and prepare for the onslaught.

[sterile stone]

lmao no, there's a 3rd game coming out next month

[placid fiber]

Holy fuck, I was practically spot on and I didn't even know it(only instead of jagged edges it is more like spikes that rip your flesh open as they clobber you with it)

[full nebula]

Of course the first game is also like 7 years from even VT1

Would be kind of neat if Darktide had an endless mode

[placid fiber]

now that I think of it... I think this thing's face/head is nearly as big as the roof/top of the houses in the last spell...

[fleet zealot]

no lol

[timber wigeon]

More modes in general

All of the missions follow the same basic flow so it'd be nice to have some change

[full nebula]

I'm mostly fine with the L4D design, its a mostly streamlined thing that you can run through and complete in reasonable periods. Be nice to have some more objective based modes or something though.

[timber wigeon]

To me it seems like the same map/gameplay design as l4d2

[sterile stone]

There's the prececessor, the hemoglobin

[full nebula]

It is, Vermintide started the ripping of the format. If it ain't broke don't fix it I guess.

[fleet zealot]

hemogoblins

[placid fiber]

I just thought of a great way to describe the premise of the last spell... imagine if some asshole casted an apocalypse type spell that, more or less, combined the living world and the warp from warhammer into 1 plain of existence... and the only way to undo this was to cast something which would permanently purge magic from your universe >.>

[fleet zealot]

vt1 and vt2 had a story to tell, so the episodic campaigns worked

and it can't really be more convoluted with magic vs whatever valve did to make all the l4d1 missions happen in canon order

[timber wigeon]

They fumbled the story in darktide so bad💔

[full nebula]

What story

[timber wigeon]

Was expecting something better when I reached lvl 30

[fleet zealot]

darktide is mission based and we are sent to do stuff and get out, so like the other part of vt2

[full nebula]

People play Darktide for the core gameplay, thats the only thing that saved it.

[timber wigeon]

I feel like they were under a time constraint

[fleet zealot]

i can live with world building, the setting and tertium itself was cool

[timber wigeon]

Because fatshark are capable of making interesting stories and characters

[placid fiber]

Bam, take dis https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Warhammer_40,000:_Darktide

[fleet zealot]

you "feel"? the game was delayed thrice and semi openly wanted to be delayed further

[timber wigeon]

Under pressure to release before it was ready

[full nebula]

I didn't know anything about Warhammer until I started playing Verm/DT. Personally don't care about the story, or characters, or whatever.

[tropic harbor]

They were. It needed about another year in the cooker but it’s still great.

[fleet zealot]

i will say people really walked into the rake for dan abnett tho, reading back on the articles he was clearly just a helping hand and doing the summaries and cover stories

[fleet zealot]

yes, because fatshark works under 2 companies, tencent and GW, hence why they were obligated to release it

[timber wigeon]

They made a 5 course meal out of something only half baked

[placid fiber]

I only knew very vague tid bits because my friends had me play the dawn of war 2 retribution arena mode with them(which basically told me nothing)... before one of my friendg ot me vt2

[timber wigeon]

Very good gaming company imo

[tropic harbor]

What did suck the most at launch were people complaining about it being incomplete. It’s like I just wanna play the game and enjoy it, and talk about how much I enjoy it, but the first year it was people bitching about non-gameplay stuff

[fleet zealot]

there were 2 console ports and multiple system reworks to do after launch and they still gave us some handfuls of content

[fleet zealot]

nah there were serious issues impeding the game at launch and balance was much worse than it is now.

[placid fiber]

At least you got to use lightning claws if you wanted, in the dawn of war 2 retribution arena thing if you were the space marine guy >.>

[full nebula]

Yeah, lot of people forget if they hadn't needed to overhaul half the game, we'd probably have at least 3 more maps by now.

[timber wigeon]

As soon as I get image perms I'm posting WAAAAAGH

[fleet zealot]

fatshark simply, doesn't stop? they are slow as balls and that's a valid complaint but they are going to keep going like a tortoise or obese carnivorous fish

[fleet zealot]

3 more maps and a vet an oggy weapon

[full nebula]

Only 1 each though

[placid fiber]

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/WAAAGH!

[tropic harbor]

If people actually spoke about those I’d be okay, but the level of bitching was turned up to 11.

I remember one review after the game was out for six months went something like “it’s been nearly a year”

[fleet zealot]

like the majority of companies on the market would have simply, put the game on life support, released some weapons and maps, and dipped

[timber wigeon]

Ogryn rework coming in 3 years

[fleet zealot]

instead fatshark openly said they plan to have support for DT longer than they supported VT2, which they aren't even done with yet

[full nebula]

Not sure if Fatshark could've done that and survived tbh.

[tropic harbor]

New Ogyrn class is the same big you get extra rations.

[placid fiber]

I can't read these small letters worth a shit rn, so idk what this is saying... but I found it here

[fleet zealot]

7 years and vt2 nots finished yet. plus, if you want some scummy reasoning

40k is a franchise that prints money for existing, and the cash shop is an objective profit success

GW wouldn't let fatshark quit even if fatshark wanted to

[placid fiber]

dude... those years gave birth to the chaos wastes, I don't care how long they drag out story missions for it... Chaos Fucking Wastes... Worth Every Fucking Millisecond

[full nebula]

GW is another problem, leech

[fleet zealot]

i ain't going to talk too much on vt2 cause i had a mostly negative experience with the community

which has made me biased, especially when i see the most rose tinted goggle takes

[full nebula]

Darktide needs something like Chaos wastes badly. But then that also creates problems with the talents you'd get lol. All the broken shit in Chaos Wastes thats been nerfed.

[placid fiber]

The community is hit or miss. The discord at least gave me solid info for meta feat set ups

[timber wigeon]

WE KANT LET DIS TOOFY YELLA GIT HAF DA DAKKA (chaos crazies teleport in, Gork n Mork wake up)

[full nebula]

I don't have nearly as many hours on VT2 as DT. That said I've never really had any issues with the community beyond your typical player who is in the wrong difficulty that they can't handle.

[timber wigeon]

Would you look at the time

https://tenor.com/view/ork-alert-gif-13436775519370939873

[placid fiber]

Well... I can speak for both communities fairly well, I would say, myself... <.<

The hits are amazing hits, the misses... make you want to eat your keyboard(this is putting it extremely lightly lol)...

[full nebula]

All I can say is recently, everytime I host Cata I get randoms who die within the first 3 minutes. Then leave, and I end up playing with bots.

[sterile stone]

Someone in this server has like 6-7k hours

[placid fiber]

Most randos were at least civil... but the ones that weren't... Well... you meet some of those in darktide as wel >.>

[placid fiber]

Fuck, you're telling me I at least gotta double my ror2 time to match them?!

[full nebula]

I've only had a couple bad interactions in Darktide in close to 1800 hours

[fleet zealot]

craving some of that spice that make you go numb

sichuan

[placid fiber]

I mean... I can't list any bad interactions. Adhd ftw, it's hard to remember the piss poor people cuz they weren't worth remembering lol

[spare talon]

splendid, finally some fun

[full nebula]

I barely remember them, mostly just a couple I exchanged some worths with people in.

[sterile stone]

I can't remember the number exactly but Josh racked up like 3300 hours in year 1 of darktide.

[fleet zealot]

not even hard, finally the director gives me some fun

[placid fiber]

I can definitely say I've had more negative interactions in vt2... but vt2 also had friendly fire on champion(10%) and legend/cataclysm(25%)

[full nebula]

I can't play anything for 3000 hours in one year because I have responsibilities and whatnot.

[placid fiber]

1 year? dude that was several years for that ror2 time lol

[sterile stone]

With how awful the ogryn issue was at launch, I'm glad this game doesn't have any form of friendly fire/

[full nebula]

Nah up top

3300 on Darktide in 1 year

[sterile stone]

I'm sure if you scroll up over the coarse of like a year or so you can find the post he made.

[fleet zealot]

kicked for not knowing book locations in vet, teaching me takes longer than having a bot auto pick them up

kicked from a chaos wastes I was in a lobby from the start at the very end cause "fuck elves"

various friendly fire the elf incidents

Basically just people playing in vet who had no business to be speedrunning and shit in vet

[placid fiber]

Kid named explosive barrel:
And their 3rd cousin thrice removed named fire barrel:
And that weird guy that hangs out with them named flamer tanks exploding:

[timber wigeon]

Why doesn't wolfer just ambush the rejects with like 100 snipers

Instead he sends like 10 crushers that are dealt with in the span of a minute

[sterile stone]

Cause as of right now, he's on everyone's shit list, even Admonition's.

[fleet zealot]

no matter what wolfer sends, he can't stop my bistol nade vet

[placid fiber]

That's not even bringing bursters into the discussion lol

[fleet zealot]

the only change to me based on what spawns is how far out i throw my grenades

[long oasis]

someone in this server claimed that they had 28k hours on warframe

[full nebula]

Fatshark should add another burster that puts corruption goo on the floor like blight spreads

[sterile stone]

Dark Communion makes it very apparent that Wolfer done fucked up too many times and is now being hunted by the people he was trying to ally with.

[fleet zealot]

fucked up while most of the time i'm playing the maps it's dregs

God damn it wolfer, why are you making OUR guys so incompetent smh

https://tenor.com/view/rinauchis-cocobearkins-gif-26346664

[full nebula]

Why he say fuck fiddy?

[fleet zealot]

literally dregs 90% of that mission but no it's wolfer's fault i ALMOST feel sorry for him

[sterile stone]

Sheeeeeit

Most of dark communion for me are just trash mob flak shooters and ogryns

[fleet zealot]

they really should've gave that mission fix faction spawns so it makes sense

[fleet zealot]

the dreg filled ones are comedic asf just watcing wolfer catch all the blame for how incompetent the cult is

okay lets jump these non believers, but not send in the big monster UNTIL everyone in the ambush is dead

[sterile stone]

Mans thought he could catch me lacking, nah I'ma hot box the entire hallways with smokes.

Most DS players just use it because John Youtube/Reddit told them to, Frog actually knows what he's doing

Malding was bound to ensue

[carmine falcon]

its because u trivilize heavies with minimal effort

[plush estuary]

people use DS because its the easiest weapon

[sterile stone]

That's debatable but pop off.

[plush estuary]

they dont need to learn how to counter a crusher if they can just 1 shot it

[delicate shadow]

they use it because it's one of the most braindead busted things in the game

[frozen kernel]

And they still get overheaded by crushers because they completely forget that the special says no to everything in the game

[carmine falcon]

wooohhhaaa i held m1 and 2 tapped 30 crushers this game is too easy giant fish i need harder modes

[delicate shadow]

I mean you don't even need the special honestly, it's just icing on the cake

[sterile stone]

Reminds me of pre nerf power sword players eating shit even tho that thing has damn near 3 charges base kit and infinite cleave.

[full nebula]

They all use DS because tanner said to

[frozen kernel]

This is what Im talking about lol No matter how good the weapon is, bad players are still gonna be bad

[delicate shadow]

like if you getting overheaded with them infinite dodges you might wanna stick to space marine or helldivers

[frozen kernel]

Some folks are uh, they have big dreams I guess lmao

[tawny walrus]

Space marine is cool because I get to be big muscle man in armor

[frozen kernel]

Space Marine is cool because if I have two un-divorced neurons I can "parry" the entire game /s

[delicate shadow]

hasn't gotten anything since the DH
yeah I mean, to be fair and balanced™️, that's 100% true if you ignore that it's not true at all

[sterile stone]

I even offered to play a High Shock auric with fam just to ease him out of the fear. Mans declined, was so sad.

[frozen kernel]

It was just a bad faith argument. I'd also tried to explain that if either of them would care to use more than 1 melee weapon and 1 ranged weapon in the entire game, they may even find a new playstyle they enjoy, but that also kind of went in one ear and out the other

[sterile stone]

All I'ma say is this right, it hasn't been disproven as of yet, a majority of the player base is hard stuck Malice/Heresy, which isn't bad right. But don't come piping up when you still out here with training wheels on acting like you shit

[frozen kernel]

"I dont have Veteran camoflague anymore so I actually have to engage in melee as John Guntide "

[delicate shadow]

that actually sucks for them lol, like if they were having fun with the game up to that point then they've really screwed themselves out of a good long term game

[sterile stone]

https://tenor.com/view/smoke-smoke-grenade-gif-12354350061668714276

[frozen kernel]

Ive desperately tried to explain literally everything they complain about has a solution

[delicate shadow]

like tide games, and DT in particular, have issues but the gameplay scratches an itch that other games just can't

[sterile stone]

Like dead ass if you wanna turn darktide into melee only, there's a option right dere fella

[frozen kernel]

But they just don't want to play the game, and I don't think I'll ever get through unless Fartshart drops like 3 whole maps, a new subclass, and the Cadia top comes back to the store

Welcome to LeaveTide, feel free to leave when you go down, I know you aren't strong enough to last for the respawn timer

[plush estuary]

3 leavers just left my game when they went down

[sterile stone]

Musical chairs in pubs is a fun thing I tell you, it's really a guessing game of how many will leave before either a clutch up happens or some one joins and makes it worse.

But yeah I've noticed when it comes to people leaving games, it's always 3 leaves per match.

It's like that 4th person is always there for the long haul

[frozen kernel]

Never all 3 teammates. Just one slot rotating multiple leavers lol

[fleet zealot]

Glorianna launch week musical chairs

Can anybody explain why discord keeps freezing when I alt tab it?

[sterile stone]

Desert area had me hyped for a second, and I'm surprised we even got a map with snow in it.

[delicate shadow]

because discord is shit, idk. It happens to me sometimes depending on the update

[fleet zealot]

So many leavers, i think i went through 4-5 sets of teammates before the mid event ended before we settled on 3 teammates who would actually stay

@sterile stone I joined a game one time and got set back at the start because the entire team was dead. The rest of the team was still there dead, I went and continued on, and one of them left. Turns out he hit a barrel and killed the entire team at the same time, and he left when he saw that I was going to clutch it.

[mighty root]

who wants to play?

[sterile stone]

I've told this shit to cole, fuck trying to boost my ego and clutch a match, I didn't log onto the game to play a glorified baby sitter. I wanted to chill.

[grizzled aspen]

It's fun to get an ego boost like once every 20 matches but I can't be fucked to do it every match like the matchmaking system wants me to.

Psyker.

New episode of hunter: the parenting was peak. Go watch it.

hey rejects

why are zealots so likely to be dressed on rags?

[jovial cosmos]

Because if oggy would be wearing rags the game would need a different age rating

[spare talon]

melee psyker is real

[tawny walrus]

I just joined a havoc 37 (my highest clearance is like 17 or something) which i had no business being in. Didn't go down at all until towards the end of the mission when we opened a checkpoint door and there was like 40 crushers and ragers

[hidden grove]

melee psyker would have chopped them all down 👍

[tawdry leaf]

ive only done like 7 havocs total

[tawny walrus]

Yeah probably. It was just 3 of us when we opened the doors. Fire psyker, recon vet, and me

[hidden grove]

I kid you need truma or smite or you ded

[tropic pelican]

i've seen people with clearance 40 who had no business in havoc 40

[tawdry leaf]

my highest clearance is 40 with lumii and frog and banx

[tawny walrus]

I just joined as a lark. I didn't think they'd approve my request to join.

[tropic pelican]

only going down once is much better than what i usually see

[tawny walrus]

Unfortunately, that down was when everyone went down, so I didn't get a clear, but it was a lot of fun. Tons of heretics

[tame sluice]

funniest shit as melee psyker is outrunning the knife zealot and killing everything before they reach them

[ornate bone]

I love that fury alows you to slow down the momentum that barellk explosion gives you and also you take no DMG if timed right

I think fury has so much uses I just love it so much

You just have to it use fury abilliry to the direction of barell exploding

[placid fiber]

... is that fire?

[warm condor]

not gonna lie when emperor promised miracles, fire from thunder hammer wasn't the one what he listed

[grave cypress]

were getting that?

[placid fiber]

Imagine on the ironhelm... 4-8 burn stacks on special hit

Still worse than headtaker/slaughterer, but, setting stuff on fire with a thammer sounds cool to me

[grave cypress]

Oh your idea is way weaker than what I was thinking

for some reason I was thinking it'd spawn a fire pool on the floor not as wide as the immo but more like warhammer mini base plate size but in darktide

[placid fiber]

oh and the burn has 100% rending from the thammer specifically

[placid fiber]

The coru thunder hammer special!

[grave cypress]

Its always surprised me that the shotgun mark that lets you use fire ammunition is never more popular and never used.

I know it does piss damage but still, annnny sorta extra status effect is usually a tiny bit more popular

[placid fiber]

it's because they gave it a cleave value, it used to pen infinite enemies and go through terrain... those were the times

[warm condor]

outclassed by the slug round and the ultimate knockback

[grave cypress]

didnt know this, cool

[placid fiber]

Yeah, that was goated back then. Even when they made it not pen terrain and it still could go through enemies.

Ever since they gave it a cleave value... they gave it the autopistol treatment, but, didn't autopistol the damage on the shotgun itself <.<

[warm condor]

would be funny if they turned it into pyrogel round which has a small explosion with minimum damage but maximum ignition

[grave cypress]

Shotguns in darktide are a real weird case in general

you think they'd only be good at close range mega damage, but its actually they're amazing at range to

[placid fiber]

When the lawbringer was the only one out they sucked

[warm condor]

surprisingly just like irl

[placid fiber]

then they gave us the kantrael and agripinaa... which the kantrael one's fire shot was busted back then... then they made the kantrael's fire shot not pen terrain... then they made the shotguns better... then they gave the fire shot a cleave value... then we got the double barreled shotgun. I think that's the time line for shotguns

[grave cypress]

oh double barrel feels like ass to me

[placid fiber]

double barreled is amazing, also the braced fire(where it shoots both shots) does more damage than 2 single shots

[cinder roost]

They just need to pump the dmg on them (pump shotguns) by 25% to make them catch up to the increases on health and armor buffs to mobs. Or give them some blessing boosts.

They are basically ass now.

[placid fiber]

Eh, they are good... they just have to be used right. For non-havoc that is they are good

[cinder roost]

But they were great even after the fire shot got fixed

[placid fiber]

It's more a vet or psyker weapon than a zealot one, right now, I think

[cinder roost]

Game just crept past them

[grave cypress]

bein able toload single rounds and firing is always a nice bonus over mags

[placid fiber]

kid named autopistol:

Also the non-doubled barreled shotguns have higher weakspot damage when you braced them <.<

[cinder roost]

That's directly because of nerfs they did to it.

[placid fiber]

Even if they rebuffed pinning fire back to what it used to be... it would still suck with how power crept stuff has gotten...

[tame sluice]

It wouldn't suck on the Bolter which is still good :)

[placid fiber]

That's the problem with buffing pinning fire. It would make the autopistol less ass, but, omega buff the bolter which is already good

[grave cypress]

id be fine with the shotgun having the same damage we get now just make close range damage feel way meatier and beefier

[cinder roost]

Just make two different friggen blessing

[placid fiber]

So the heavy sword headtaker treatment, I like how you think

Even if they rebuffed the heavy sword's headtaker back to 15% at t4 per stack people would still say it sucked, cuz they don't know how to use it

[cinder roost]

Stop trying to balance one blessing against 40 weapons.

[tame sluice]

Increasing shotgun minimum pellet count on certain enemies would make it more consistently one shot them. Its damage breakpoints aren't awful if even a few more than the current minimum pellets hit

For the Zarona and Agri shotguns anyways, god knows what you'd do about the other one

[cinder roost]

And yes I'm exaggerating

[placid fiber]

The only one you might not be would be some stupid type of stagger blessing, which up to 40 weapon mks might share lol

[misty nova]

Combat shotguns being finesse oriented was such a revelation to me

[full nebula]

Buff all human shotguns

I think the one with the train final event is metalfab

[misty nova]

Consignment Yard?

[broken walrus]

Yeah, it is. it just doesnt seem like it cuz you arent repairing the fab

[misty helm]

I'm at the point of experienced where I remember how various maps flow, but not their names

[sterile stone]

That's vile

[broken walrus]

Yeah I dont know the names of the mission. I just remember like "this hallway sucks" "this part has 4 elite groups" "this event is ez"

[misty nova]

The section past the servoskull event leads to the cryo rods event place

Then we go through the door to get to the train

[broken walrus]

Good guy Hadron putting the train nearby so we can escape if we fail coolant control mission.

Surely they would allow us to retreat if we failed 🙂

[carmine falcon]

shred on relic would slap so hard
add perfect strike too for maximum funnies

That shit would be so busted Shred + Perfect

[full nebula]

Gotta be honest, this no hit reg shit is getting a little out of hand.

[spare dome]

what would you need perfect strike for, just turn the sword on

[remote lark]

havoc presumably

[remote lark]

push harder idk

[tame sluice]

the poxbursters weren't aggroed on you so you had to use the normal push range against them rather than the inflated one you get against them when they're targeting you

it's a dumb bug in their AI

[misty nova]

[full nebula]

Nah they were plenty close on the first push, even if they didn't blow up it should've pushed.

[misty nova]

Just give Sunder to RB

[tame sluice]

happens with pouncing dogs too

[full nebula]

Dogs are just magnetic

[remote lark]

unironically cranial is a mid blessing and i don't like it and i want something to swap with it

[spare dome]

agreed

[remote lark]

it gives a kind of mid buff to your sword and a kind of mid damage buff to your swings which ultimately only helps a little with clear and doesn't hit any important breakpoints

[sullen forge]

It’s a QOL blessing it’s not insanely impactful

Why I kinda enjoy it seeing I like having up time on Powered more and added the fact I actively swing head level

Probably could be replaced with fucking heatsink or something idfk you’re basically just trading more uptime and Weakspot damage for other choices

[spare dome]

disappointed to discover heatsink is so nerfed unless youre in overheat

i thought it was only reduced while it was active

[sullen forge]

That just sounds like you’re actively gonna have to juggle on and off more to maintain the damage which admittedly comes off as annoying lmao

[spare dome]

well for me the resource management is what's fun, and also i dont find it that difficult on relic blade

just QQ before it caps out

[heady rapids]

dont worry the rando with barrels will make sure your relic blade stays off

[spare dome]

heatsink at least still works at all times but at 1/3 effectiveness

[frosty herald]

this is related to agro

[misty nova]

Rampage Leakage still winning 🗣️ 🔥

[full nebula]

Fair, but I also had no hit reg on a dog and a trapper lastnight. Did the hitsound and everything, but no hitmarker or contact

Didn't record though.

[tame sluice]

use the lasguns enough and you'll be double tapping things that you should one shot on muscle memory

[sterile basalt]

Not 1/3
1/4

[remote lark]

dogs are the worst to get that one cause it'll like play the block sound and vfx and you'll get downed anyway

[tame sluice]

just incase the server decides your headshot wasn't good enough

[spare dome]

damm it path let me cope

[remote lark]

i wonder if cranial actually hits breakpoints thats something i didn't test
if it doesn't it wouldn't be more useful than heatsink i think

[sterile basalt]

Heatsink is inferior to overload
And overload is a meme pick

[spare dome]

i didnt find any personally but i did not crunch for havoc

[remote lark]

ur kidding

[sterile basalt]

Heatsink at best is +2s to energized duration
It has the same overheat duration as overload assuming u weakspot or crit kill every single second

[carmine falcon]

i said this before
Feels like when they made relic they made base dmg too strong and were too afraid of slapping the strong blessing other weapons use on it
it already deals fk u level dmg with no real major dmg blessing beside rampage

[sterile basalt]

Overload at least staggers ragers and maulers out of their attacks

[misty nova]

And according to NullDragon it's bugged

[sterile basalt]

If it worked properly it’d be really funny

[stone fern]

i hate gunlugger builds so much

im alt tabbed in an end event rn

[misty nova]

Just shoot more

Alternatively
Exploit BLO bug (you shouldn't)

[sullen forge]

I’m more of a Rampage Cranial type of guy but I’m honestly kinda happy to see the blessings on RB have a handful of people deciding what they prefer over others

Vs the these two or you’re throwing

[gray compass]

cranial wrath is superior 😤

[stone fern]

idk what that is

i mainly run boltpistol thats for disablers and some elites rest i melee hate gunluggers 😭

[gray compass]

if you spam click at 0 ammo it gives you free shots anyway

it's funny on rumbler if you can click fast enough

[stone fern]

😭

[carmine falcon]

my issue with wrath is u lose all stacks if u do other actions or miss a hit
weird ahh condition

[gray compass]

fair lol

just don't miss

[misty nova]

FS patched it
Except some weapons slipped through

[gray compass]

oh wack
i'm pretty sure it still works on twink stubbers, at least in the psykhanium

[carmine falcon]

not missing is the easy part
i just like doing the PA on the relic and also i block way more with it than other weapons
idk why but if i fk up my postioning i can block enough hits to escape

[misty nova]

Yeah but stubbers are kinda of whatever for it
Now a Ripper with Flechette and the guaranteed crit on BLO shot

[gray compass]

true lmao

[remote lark]

thats enough reddit for one day

[misty nova]

[remote lark]

some redditor told me wrath is a 50% dps increase in auric over rampage

[gray compass]

what the fuck

[carmine falcon]

you hit 50% more enimies so u do 50% more dmg duh
no i did not fail math class

[remote lark]

like doesn't cleave do basically nothing on melee weapons after you stop having hitmass issues @misty nova

[gray compass]

yea but wrath lets you stack scourge if the horde's thick enough

[remote lark]

i can stack it without wrath :L

[gray compass]

really?
i gotta give rampage a shot then

[carmine falcon]

isnt the whole point of wrath is to stagger the ones that u dont dmg but still cleave anyway

[remote lark]

read pins

like wrath might let you hit more enemies in auric?
but i don't think cleave improves damage distribution

[misty nova]

Yeah just more cleave
Cleave Damage Distribution remains unaffected (unless Brutal Momentum)

[remote lark]

yeah i figured

[sullen forge]

Wrath value really is only noticeable in havoc that’s kinda about it outside of the “weapon that struggles with hitmass”

[misty nova]

So if anything your extra cleave would just let you spread minimum damage across more targets, if you can hit them

But Rampage is more damage as well so your minimum damage would be higher as well

[desert remnant]

What do you guys prefer, other than the knife, dueling sword or relic sword?

[sullen forge]

Tac Axe…

[violet hornet]

Hsword 7 and crucis thammer

[desert remnant]

I am trying the dueling sword after playing with relic and while it slays elites really well and feels more powerful individually, overall I feel like I am having a bit harder time

[sullen forge]

It lacks quick horde clear that’s probably why

[misty nova]

Evis15, Chainsword Xiiig, Crusher or Crucis Hammer

[sullen forge]

But it’s still incredibly strong

[desert remnant]

Yeaah. But maybe even carapace? Activated relic > dueling?

[misty helm]

Eviscerator

[misty nova]

I mean you can 1-2 tap carapace all the same with both

[desert remnant]

Hmm maybe I am playing it wrong then.

[misty nova]

What are your blessings rn?

[desert remnant]

Precognition and Uncanny Strike. I admit I am still levelling it, so it's only 440 and blessing ranks are 3 and 2 respectively, so that might be the reason, but not sure if it's THAT big of a difference.

That and not sure if there's something I am missing with the moveset. Am I supposed to heavy attack headshot the big guys, or special attack headshot? Or even light attack?

[misty nova]

If you have the Mk4 just heavy attack the big guys
The special is mostly for stagger reasons

[sullen forge]

If you’re running FOTF it’ll one tap them regardless also

[desert remnant]

Oh F, really good reminder. I got the Mk II by default and could not change earlier due to lack of mastery. Gonna do that. It might be that the Mk II is inferior

[thick tundra]

So, where is that dude with the zealot knife build we were talking about yesterday?

[sullen forge]

Precog on DS is no joke shit is incredibly strong hence the cries to nerf it

[misty nova]

Mk2 is the best one actually
It has the powerful heavy of the Mk4 and an actual Horde Clear
Mk4 is just brain off kill everything

[stone fern]

remove precog from ds4
put it on thammer

[misty nova]

Even more reasons to forego Stealth 🗣️

[desert remnant]

not the carapace ones, at least not with the current level of blessings/score

[stone fern]

forego? stealth is never on the menu

[misty nova]

If you're leveling DS then your 3 main damage stats (Damage, Penetration, Finesse) are low

[stone fern]

🚬 when is ironhelm my beloved gonna get another carapace adm buff

a ds4 does more carapace damage with less risk

[desert remnant]

Wouldn't "brain off kill everything" mean that the Mk4 is better?

[stone fern]

🤔 actually same for relic

[sullen forge]

Thammers are fine 🚬

[misty nova]

It would have a niche of quickly killing Carapace compared to Crucis

[sullen forge]

I think they’re in a good spot and don’t really need to be touched up on vs other weapons

[stone fern]

i dont even want it to be as good as crucis just slightly better

[misty nova]

If you turn your brain on you'll have better horde clear than mk4

[violet hornet]

Double crucis boss damage

[stone fern]

im talking ironhelm not crucis

[desert remnant]

yeah the horde clear felt okay

[misty nova]

While also having the big guys beat down of Mk4

[desert remnant]

so what IS the actual downside of Mk II, that requires brain? Harder to chain the heavies?

[violet hornet]

Ironhelm is a figment of your imagination clad

[stone fern]

no

[violet hornet]

You've been hitting stuff with a crusher this entire time

[stone fern]

YOU'RE WRONG STOP

[misty nova]

Yeah if you're going single target then it's Heavy special loop
If you're going Horde "Clear" then it's light heavy loop

[grizzled aspen]

Clad, it's time to let go. Ironhelm was never real.

[misty nova]

While Mk4 would go 1 Groaner killed every swing, Mk2 would go 1-2-1-2-1-2

[desert remnant]

Right, gonna remember that. Thanks

[placid fiber]

The torment was never real to begin with?

[misty nova]

But at the same time it's a dueling sword they have one of the suboptimal horde clearing prowess
So if you end up disregarding Horde Clear you can go brain off mk4

[desert remnant]

as long as I don't sacrifice the single target with going Mk 2, I'd rather learn that one. Like, as long as the Mk2 singletarget with right combo is as good as Mk 4 single target.

[remote lark]

i prefer thrust uncanny on mk4

[misty nova]

And if you're ever curious about the mk5, it has the best dodges in the game due to having Defences and Mobility as stats

[remote lark]

silence...

[stone fern]

thrust and uncanny no blessing synergy pls explode

[violet hornet]

He's been meleeing enemies with an ironhelm dbarrel so long it's bent 90 degrees

[stone fern]

unironically tho relic, rashad, ds4, crucis all have a lot better carapace damage than ironhelm its kinda overall weaker the clear isnt even better because you have to activate it while crucis can clear fine without activation

[violet hornet]

What's more based: playing Minecraft or turning down Fyre

[stone fern]

the only advantage ironhelm has is clubbing an elite in the middle of a hoard and because of its swing that doesnt even work on bulwarks half the time without hitting the carapace shoulder plate and not one tapping them

[solar gorge]

another crucis w

ironcels will never recover

[violet hornet]

Ironhelm active cleaving all but carapace/ unyielding would be interesting for sure

[remote lark]

my synergy is oneshotting everything, clad

[stone fern]

you also need like 5-6 wounds to one tap a crusher with ironhelm without other buffs

[thick tundra]

Anyway, knife is still garbage compared to dueling sword or relic

[stone fern]

thrust precog NOW

[remote lark]

AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
what rock do you live under

[grizzled aspen]

Lumii smells bad.

[remote lark]

knife is S tier and probably slightly better than relic in the right hands

[stone fern]

oh yeah i forgot knife is better at dealing with multiple crushers than ironhlem

[solar gorge]

good game design

[remote lark]

noh

[grizzled aspen]

Lumii smells arguably worse than Mortarion.

[remote lark]

saying knife is garbage compared to anything is the most esoteric take i think i've ever heard
the only people who think knife is mid are the people who can't use it properly (most of this server)

[grizzled aspen]

I pinch my nose at him.

[stone fern]

i dont think you know what esoteric means

[remote lark]

i will cut your nose off

[remote lark]

i don't think you understand the meaning of the word sarcasm

[grizzled aspen]

It would be better than dealing with your stench, smelly boy.

[remote lark]

[grizzled aspen]

P U

[gaunt meadow]

i see zealot chat remains similar

[remote lark]

yes.

[stone fern]

even in a sarcastic tone you misused esoteric

[desert remnant]

So I assume for DS, Cleave is the dump stat, while for relic, mobility?

[full nebula]

Gimmie a human sized krourk cleaver but just the stabbing part

[remote lark]

you -can- dump cleave but you can dump mobility and still have broken dodges which is what i reccomend

[grizzled aspen]

Only dump cleave if you plan to convert it to ds5, because cleave becomes defenses.

[spare talon]

ds4

[full nebula]

yes but knife

[spare talon]

functionally there is no difference

[full nebula]

lots of fast horizontal pokes

[desert remnant]

Ah okay, mobility it is then, cheers

[misty nova]

Cleave Target affects Unarmored damage (a little) so I say don't dump cleave

[full nebula]

sure theres a difference, a knife could have punch combos instead

[mighty root]

Where the frick is the vigil station marty skull

7 year old in my game shittalking everyone

[placid fiber]

I had never used this weapon in rogue legacy 2 until I just randomly got it, since the other weapon that can only be fired on the ground is extremely slow... this thing is almost an automatic crossbow with how fast it shoots. For a ground only weapon this one isn't that bad.

[remote lark]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It also got a horde mode recently?

Oh but why only 3 players

[grand tangle]

book would not be trash if it didn't cost 2 talent points

[misty nova]

Apart from the agile dueling sword that build should do the trick

[sly elm]

Is it actually not worth using?

[fleet zealot]

no, dueling sword has some of the best dodges in the game

if you are running out of dodge on it you are simply not playing the game correctly, just don't dodge for half a second and all your counts come back

[sly elm]

Sorry I meant to reply the build in general not just the dueling sword

[misty nova]

Oh the overall tree is pretty meta
But the ability itself isn't

[sly elm]

So should I not use it and go for another ability?

[sullen forge]

Tintin jumpscare lmao

[misty nova]

Oh feel free to use it
It's just that Fury of the faithful is just packed with all sorts of buffs that will help more often than pausing the fight for a few seconds

the scoreboard mod is so good for stroking my ego. It helps me figure out how much I'm actually contributing

If I have a yellow number anywhere from the scoreboard, i am just better

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-stronger-smarter-better-gif-27330950

I use Power DI scoreboard. It doesn't have yellow numbers but it goes into questionable detail

You ever just sit there and watch randos play patty cake with Bulwarks? Not a single thought going through some brains

I mean if you play crusher with Enduring Stalwart all the other DR talents I highly expect negative braincell results

Cause like you have to actively play like a complete idiot to take over 200+ damage

[carmine falcon]

i was using relic not crusher but you're right i do play like an absolute baboon
it works!

[sullen forge]

Hammerblow SKC for the true 0 brain activity experience

[carmine falcon]

jokes aside i need to slow down stop running into every horde i see hoping i out dps it and just go back to basics

i was taking waaaaaaay less dmg with evis and chain axe
prolly cause i cant play like a caveman and get away with it

[sullen forge]

Me thinks you should force yourself into barebones situations to improve your reactions so you don’t take high damage

[carmine falcon]

you're not wrong at all
next game i boot up ill play a lot more cautious

[sullen forge]

You don’t even need to “play cautious” in the sense of sitting back

Heighten your awareness and take note of what’s in play via any sound queue

[carmine falcon]

nah not like that, just DONT FOTF INTO A HORDE WHEN THERE'S 10 SNIPERS AIMING AT YOU

Yeah but Iframes…

[placid fiber]

Yes

[acoustic dune]

https://tenor.com/view/mordhau-arguing-gif-21244527

[hard nexus]

combos are listed in pins, in the crusher guide

the guide is out of date regarding blessings, but the combos, and attack properties are all still applicable

[sour hull]

Ok

[hard nexus]

but long story short, use your push attack a lot

it has a very high finesse modifier, so it does a ton of damage on a headshot

https://medal.tv/games/warhammer-40000-darktide/clips/iOYRSUkPOq4HQjcXx?invite=cr-MSx6ak8sMjA0ODY2MDQ3LA

[sour hull]

Okay cuz when I went to use it it felt wonky In comparison to the relic blade the crusher felt slow with low damage but I think I was mostly aiming for body shots

[jaunty lava]

Auric storm survivor is gonna give me grey hair

I have to clutch every single game since this morning thats like 10 in a row

[sour hull]

That's understandable

Given the amount of players that see auric related achievements and think they look cool not understanding the amount of skill that requires

Me? I'm plenty happy in heresy

[jaunty lava]

Well at least these people try to play. My issue is with those that bring blue weapons and die about 10 times in a game

[sour hull]

Ive tried auric, that's not something I want to subject myself to, hell even damnation is a bit much for me

[sour hull]

I have plenty of experience with that too

[pale spindle]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[sterile basalt]

U should see Nvidia’s 50 series’ prices lol

but the fact that I need to pay more than a 7900 XT to get the 9070 makes me want to die

after seeing the shitshow of the 5090, I'm 99% sure I am not going nvidia this year

[sterile basalt]

You’d prob be better off getting a RTX40 series card?

[pale spindle]

cant

[hard nexus]

always aim for headshots no matter what you’re using

also relic blade is OP so everything (except knife and ds) is gonna feel weak in comparison lmfao

[pale spindle]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[hard nexus]

a lot of players with ASS or whatever are usually pretty bad in my experience lmfao

[sour hull]

That's what I thought, I've been thinking that relic blade is a total crutch

[pale spindle]

the good news is that I somehow got a 7800 XT at $500

I am going to hang onto it and see if I can grab a 9070

[sterile basalt]

Relic blade’s crutch is assuming you can kill your way out of every problem

Which is nowhere nearly as bad as knife / DS crutch

[sour hull]

DE?

[sterile basalt]

My bad, typo

[sour hull]

Dueling blade?

[sterile basalt]

Duelling sword yea

[sour hull]

Awww

[hard nexus]

it lets you kill your way out of every problem lmao

[sterile basalt]

Pretty much
I don’t think that’s a terribly bad crutch tho tbh

[frosty herald]

Its a strong weapon with good drawbacks

[grizzled aspen]

You should be able to kill your way out of every problem anyway smh.

[sour hull]

What are some weapons that need buffed? Shotguns for one

[north sedge]

I create life to solve my problems

[grave cypress]

Was talking about shotguns this morning with how badly they need to be buffed

[sour hull]

Were they power crept or just bad to start with?

[grave cypress]

From what oldheads told me fire shotty used to be busted and it got nerfed to mars and back

[sour hull]

I didn't use them for the longest time

[remote lark]

guys tintin is alive

[north sedge]

It used to shoot through walls which was pretty funny

[grave cypress]

and infinate punchthrough apparently

[north sedge]

That part was at least on purpose

[grizzled aspen]

Combat shotguns, tac axes, dclaw, autopistol, helbore (draw anim needs to just be scrapped), ilas (reverse damage falloff should be removed), vigilant autoguns (maniac adm is terrible), braced autoguns (why do these have two dodges).

[north sedge]

Braced autos are fine

[grizzled aspen]

No they aren't, they fucking suck.

[grave cypress]

I agree with Frog, braced autos should have more than 2 dodges lol

[grizzled aspen]

Being wildly inaccurate is fine but they legit only have two dodges.

[grave cypress]

Should be 4 dodges imo

[remote lark]

froooog look
