I really want get event done and play other game

Yeah I wish i could QP but only do event missions

I didnt even realise it was a mission type until I finished a mission and had no progress

#

You guys all feel that zealot is prob the most difficult to play? Or psyker?

placid fiber
#

I would say it is more punishing on psyker if you make a mistake because as soon as your toughness is broken you immediately evaporate

pearl quest
#

Im starting playing Zealot what are like the best weapons for leveling since the beggining

placid fiber
#

Eh... anything works. You can use an autopistol if you have t4 inspiring barrage unlocked on it for another form of toughness generation

delicate shadow
#

though any given AoE staff psyker build is very very braindead to play mechanically speaking

placid fiber
#

psyker also has the most op stuff going for them pretty much, between it and zealot

delicate shadow
#

flamer zealot even more braindead tbh

placid fiber
#

True, flame psyker just has the added bonus of managing peril instead of ammo

ornate bone
#

Yeah, I agree that Psyker is prob hardmode. That said, if you’re good at your kit, psyker can simultaneously be broken as hell if you’re on your A Game

carmine falcon
#

zealot is literally just getting good at the basics Haha

placid fiber
#

Psyker is be good at not fucking up

delicate shadow
#

managing peril is very easy tho

placid fiber
#

tell that to the rando psykers I get

plush estuary
delicate shadow
#

yeah I mean a lot of the psyker playerbase is kinda dogshit at melee and peril management

placid fiber
#

"kinda" lol

delicate shadow
#

but that's not an aspersion on the power of the class

carmine falcon
#

at the game*

delicate shadow
#

zealots meanwhile have a high tendency to run off and die

placid fiber
#

rando zealot? runs off an dies
Us: runs off and the 3 randos die

carmine falcon
#

i'd say playing zealot is ez but being one of the zealots who press w+ and clear the entire room while never getting touched is not

#

So there is a reason to run that shovel over the folding ones...

ornate bone
# placid fiber Oh I know that, I've seen plenty of dogshit players on every class

Honestly, a lot of the times I don’t find skill even the issue. It’s just a matter of people who know to stick together or not.

Tbh I’m guilty of it. Sometimes if there’s a melee ogryn or another zealot, I’ll go run solo into gunner lines to kill them all before my group is shredded by gun fire.

But if I’m the only melee operative I try to stick close to then group as much as I can

delicate shadow
#

basically all the classes are equally easy and have equally busted shit going on

#

it's just the raw mechanics of the game itself that are difficult

delicate shadow
#

like a lot of us in here would call the game in general easy but like, we're all fuckin sweaty nerds

carmine falcon

no nerfs only buffs gang when they stop playing after a week because the game is too easy and the novelty wears off

buff the enemies

misty nova

Powercreep

#

💀

clever swan
#

give em new abilities or moves, improve their strategies and movement, instead. much harder though from a design and development pov

misty nova
#

Don't mind some killing floor shenanigans

delicate shadow
#

making enemies harder is an option, I mean that's mostly what havoc and other modifiers do

#

but you can really only go so far with that until you end up with a shitshow that no one enjoys

#

enemies either become too spongy, or too damaging as a means to contain player power and it gets away from engaging gameplay

#

and it forces metas that get stale fast, current meta is already stale af

clever swan
#

if it's solely numbers then yeah it's cringe. but it could be uhhh the other word

Not as fast, easier to dodge his attack string

#

Used to leap around more maybe? Can't remember

tame sluice
#

I really don't like chaos spawn

#

The oversized grab hitbox and pushboxes on every attack feel awful to play against

delicate shadow
# clever swan mechanics vs numbers

yee also an option but again, with the way the player-side of the game is rn you can mostly ignore any given interesting mechanic unless said mechanics are designed to ignore/negate shit like gold toughness and aoe damage

Is there any value in a thunder hammer that doesn't take thrust? I know 60% dmg is a lot, but I'm wondering how much relative dps I'd lose if I took a different blessing and spent that time swinging more often vs. charging up my heavies

I mean everyone gets upset about nerfs and hyped about buffs because that's what activates the neurons in the moment, but then you end up like warframe where the game literally can't do anything to you

Using Pummeler/Verdict with Incendiary Impacts

grizzled aspen
delicate shadow
#

I still enjoy warframe as a fun brain off thing but it's definitely not a challenging game by any means, which is fine, but in something like tide games typically people at the endgame want to actually be challenged

tame sluice
#

They actually die faster to AP2 in my experience which feels weird

#

Especially if you target their arms

grizzled aspen
#

Like I threw down 20 bucks to get a few warbonds and the one red and black ump smg, starts with an R, quite good, but still needs like 7 headshots to drop an overseer.

tame sluice
#

Reprimand

grizzled aspen
#

Yeah.

tame sluice
#

also pretty sure Overseer heads are AV3

#

(medium pen)

#

so AP3 guns do half damage to their head

obsidian prairie
#

Headshots against them are a trap unless you have good pen

grizzled aspen
#

Overseers in general feel like they're tanks.

tame sluice
#

They also die fast to fire damage so the flamethrower primary/pistol are good into them

#

Or the Scythe/Dagger

grizzled aspen
#

Even with close range bodyshots you're still looking at 14 bullets.

#

Reprimand has, what, 26 per mag?

#

Not the greatest.

grizzled aspen
#

Good luck lighting a jetpack overseer on fire.

obsidian prairie
#

I just erupt all over them and they go away

grizzled aspen
#

Isn't the eruptor the dominators cooler older brother?

obsidian prairie
#

By a lot yes

#

It does literally everything

grizzled aspen
#

Interesting.

tame sluice
#

that's why I mentioned Scythe/Dagger

obsidian prairie
tame sluice
#

They set enemies you shoot with them on fire

#

The laser beams do that

grizzled aspen
#

I bought the warbond it's from to get the grenade pistol so I can fight bugs better because grenade pistol oneshots the green fucks, so I guess I can pick up the eruptor too.

obsidian prairie
#

It 1-2 taps overseers, is good into trash with its AOE and shrapnel, kills discount chaos spawns in under a mag always, can kill harvesters with joint shots

#

Can shoot the strafing bastards if you're good at leading

grizzled aspen
#

I need to get the anti tank manned turret now that I'm thinking about it.

obsidian prairie
#

And infinite ammo if you take supply pack

grizzled aspen
#

Hate leviathans.

obsidian prairie
grizzled aspen
#

Spear too slow and needs too much ammo to bring them down.

obsidian prairie
#

One gatling barrage

#

Not even the whole thing

minor sigil
#

best not to bother killing them because they just respawn immediately on death

grizzled aspen
#

Idk about that.

tame sluice
obsidian prairie
#

They also aren't terribly dangerous

grizzled aspen
#

Did an overship mission, we brought 3 down and didn't see another one.

obsidian prairie
#

(I guess and send it)

grizzled aspen
grizzled aspen
#

Never said it didn't.

#

Just saying that sounds like a terribly inconsistent way of bringing them down.

delicate shadow
#

my personal favourite strat is just letting super earth burn

obsidian prairie
#

Its not like taking down a Leviathan is an urgent priority, its something I do if I have the time and feel like it

obsidian prairie
grizzled aspen
#

Oh and my favorite thing so far is fleshmobs that get inside the ground.

#

Did a defense mission and we literally could not go down the stairs because there were around 12 fleshmobs just stuck inside the floor that would instantly kill us.

obsidian prairie
#

Silly

#

Gas mines work extremely well for defence missions

grizzled aspen
#

I know.

obsidian prairie
#

as long as you're ok with like 20+ civilian casualties

grizzled aspen
#

I use gas and incendiary mines, hmg manned turret, and tesla tower.

obsidian prairie
#

Just take 4 gas mines

grizzled aspen
#

I dont even bring a support weapon.

#

Hmg manned turret eats harvesters for breakfast.

obsidian prairie
#

HMG manned eats everything

grizzled aspen
#

Yeah but like, it's kind of a waste to use it on anything else for illuminate.

#

I'd rather burn my actual bullets on bringing down fleshmobs and overseers instead of hmg turret ammo.

#

Especially because hmg has like a 4min cooldown or whatever.

The third power attack is the overhead stab which seems to do best damage for backstabs vs crushers and the like. Is there a way to spam that? Or are you stuck using the previous 2 slashes?

Alright, push attack spam I shall try. Also, when you backstab crushers/bulwarks, is the back considered a weak spot?
I always wonder if I need to just hit square in the back or if I should aim for back of the head

tame sluice
#

have to hit their head

#

burgle and chaos spawn have weakspots on their back though

clever swan

chaos spawn has two weak spots?

# delicate shadow profiteering moment

i think its interesting to think about at what point does something like a X media adaptation of a popular thing stop being a money grab
like what causes a game thats made from the remakes of dune not be something like a tie in just to make more money, but instead something that feels like it deserves to exist and having the name attached not be the only thing carrying it, or dragging the name down

Those tiny platforms with fire shooting between them that has knockback... is why this level was the bane of my existence. One of the only levels where the awful vibrato sound seemed to fit my misery in the level... thankfully this rip spares us that noise.

The only soundtrack uploads for this game are bad quality due to the GBA's compression. ...

▶ Play video

So, according to Matt Simmonds and the soundtrack he uploaded, this song is refered to as "Jazz (Unused)" in the disc, even though the song is used in both versions of the game. That's odd.

on another note, for some reason the modern Spiderman games have a bug where some enemies become straight up invincible and must be grapple attacked/executed to kill

Deploy the Nuncio Aquila: Arbitrators bring new technology in the form of the Nuncio Aquila, anti-grav vox platforms that spreads propaganda overwhelming their opponents with fear of the impending voice of the Lex.

But its gonna be badass

but nah they already said

Nah

Yeah a lot are wondering what the lines are

I think the Lex broadcast voice will be even cooler than what we heard in the cinematic trailer

WAIT. the mission fails if its just bots alive

I'm guessing it's a debuff

Probably a debuff and stun/stagger

I think they can do that on tabletop

I'm taking wagers to see if there's a penance for calling your dog to attack a pox hound

zinc talon
#

oh I just meant the dude's hemet vis a vis robocop

carmine falcon
rough dune
#

But I think it's gonna be nice because I believe the vox caster is basically gonna be autonomous and can follow you around. so arbites should be able to fight while it's deployed unlike zealot book

#

So like you can deploy it and clear a path. I can see it being clutch in havoc

zinc talon
#

they have a lot riding on how the dog deals with damage and death

candid shuttle
#

Is Evis dump mobility or cleave

rough dune
#

Dump mobility

carmine falcon
#

Mobility

rough dune
#

Depends on the mark, tbh

zinc talon
#

^

#

the old evis's range on crit is like, a single point before you hit 60 or 70

#

sorry, on cleave

#

light strike cleave range for the whole s tat is like, 1.4 to 2.2

#

and heavy 2 is a single target overhead only

candid shuttle
#

I just consecrated my evis and got perfect strike and wrath

#

Gah damn

#

That's nice

#

Carapace and flak perks

#

Not bad

carmine falcon
zinc talon
#

remember though, the evis's swings are capped at 4 targets hit

clever swan
zinc talon
#

^that video shows my 1h chainsword unironically kill ten things in a single swing, no preparation needed

#

vs the evis being capped at 4 things hit

rough dune
#

I don't think the dog will do too much tbh. Like.. dog can't cleave.. can't handle multiple enemies. Seems like it'll be very focused on either priority targets or just passively guarding your back while you deploy shield and shoot ahead

I'm guessing the game is in a decent enough state we're getting new archetypes.

Makes you wonder

rough dune
#

I mean

#

They did say

sterile stone
#

After x amount of class drops

zinc talon
#

it wouldn't surprise me if the dog is like that dude from the original borderlands

#

who had that hawk

rough dune
#

"first class" in the Arbites description

#

So it's expected that more classes to come

sterile stone
#

Will the game become power crept by dlc classes

copper hawk
zinc talon
#

use the ability, dog c omes from around a corner and does its thing, then fucks off around another c orner

#

like the hawk did in bl1

heady rapids
#

I sure hope it does I'm paying 12$ for it

rough dune
#

Dog ability: hump Crusher to death in two pumps

sterile stone
#

Darktide isn't liek Verm

heady rapids
#

they tested the waters in verm with sienna

sterile stone
#

It's a live service game.

#

So in theory if they wanna keep servers on

zinc talon
#

well, 3 heroes got an extra class if that'sx what you mean

carmine falcon
sterile stone
#

Gonna have to keep added new things

heady rapids
#

had to fix some shit related to threat level even

carmine falcon
#

(that's what they're doing)

zinc talon
#

there will be no power creep when this class releases

rough dune
#

With 650 hours in this game, I've gotten my money's worth, and I don't mind shelling out more for a DLC that expands that

sterile stone
#

At what point would we hit a class that just completely breaks the balance of the game.

zinc talon
#

it will outdamage and outheal and outrescue and outcleave everything at debut

#

all new stuff does

heady rapids
#

darktide was never advertised as live service was it

rough dune
#

And honestly, the cosmetics in this game are way better than any other game I play

carmine falcon
#

Havoc irritation 5 the game will just be path of exile

delicate shadow

#

weapons, abilities, then they rein it back in after a couple weeks pending playerbase feedback

hell the fuckin ogryn rework is the most recent example tbh

If the servers go off, you can't play the game anymore.

Im joking

I know

slot system theory

But imagine

Ratling Dredd

zinc talon

I don't think they can put more enemies in, without them just standing around you waiting for their slot to start actual combat

copper hawk

Idk y ppl like ratlings so much

im more of a felinid head myself

Hobbits without what makes Hobbits cool

I looove felinidz ,,

And Ogryn

but felinids probably aren't cute cat girls so maybe im wrong

You know that as well as I do

Beastmen r cool too

Felinids, Ogryn, Beastmen

# delicate shadow havoc should never be the baseline

with arbites iirc first step was auric damn, then havoc once damn felt right
once he was good in auric damn, looking at havoc was "if he isnt good/is too good here, why and how can we fix without breaking damn"

heady rapids

bring back weaves
bring back enemies one shotting you
bring back people clipping through maps on hm just to brag about their completions online

I actually like the power fantasy but I also hate dying to 20 bulwarks because I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

I quit after weaves

never got to see chaos wastes

Chaos Wastes are peak

zinc talon
#

makes me a tiny bit sad I didn't get to see that huge step up to the game but I was already over it playin other stuff

delicate shadow
#

chaos wastes was actually good, it's still ok but they changed up a bunch of shit and made it worse

sterile stone
#

Like at what point if ever does havoc become the bar?

zinc talon
#

god I hope never

heady rapids
#

lmao I remember watching aqshy stream vermin with viewers

zinc talon
#

havocs are mostly just stressful without feeling rewarded afterwards

sterile stone
#

It might have to at some point if they're gonna keep adding more classes

zinc talon
#

I haven't had fun playing them

heady rapids
#

someone joined and they couldn't play cause the dude didn't have cata!!!!

copper hawk
#

Stressful unless ur playing Ogryn

copper hawk
#

Then it's a power fantasy

delicate shadow

I did a duo with aqshy back in the day and she forgot to ring the bell to get out of the end event on hunger in the dark

zinc talon
#

oh yeah? even at the top tiers?

copper hawk
#

Yes

#

Even at top tiers

zinc talon
#

on debut it was absolute hell cuz of our size and the ranged damage

copper hawk

All slap only ogryn is possible on h40

zinc talon

couldn't even think of not bringing a shield

copper hawk
#

Ainz did it

sterile stone

Like my concern isn't now, but down the line.

zinc talon

heh yeah saw that one

sterile stone

Unless fat shark add another difficulty spike.

Ogryn rework is ludicrously strong

For god knows why

I did my first h40 first try w ogryn

Paired with Confident Strike also

I wouldn't be able to use em

im fine with a class

copper hawk

Ogryn is a blast in h40 now and then

im not fine with a weapon

Iirc it's the only stun lock in the game

darktide updates in 2026: gunners can now sprint and shoot

zinc talon

oh that's right it was you, or your mission or something wasn't it

cuz you can top up and be soaking hits you'd otherwise have to back off of

he maybe zealot will go in the direction of the ogryn rework and ascend to sainthood power levels

sterile stone
copper hawk
#

The misinformation about the functionality of Zealot, their strengths, and fundamental gameplay and data realities of the classes and zealot in particular unknown by some playtesters (not u) along with people who should know better makes me absolutely certain it'll be for the worst

zinc talon
#

this is the reality you have created

copper hawk
#

At best, we'll be weaker than current Vet but in our niche

sullen forge

uh

#

yeah!

copper hawk
#

Yeaaah !

sullen forge
#

its good for the game

copper hawk
#

Yeah !!!!!!!

carmine falcon
#

Ok jokes aside I love the power fantasy I just wish the games idea of difficulty wasn't 100 crushers and 100 bulwark punishment packs

sterile stone
zinc talon
#

I mean even at my biggest it's just 15 toughness for each heavy and 5 for lights

sterile stone
#

Laptop gamer

heady rapids
zinc talon
#

and then the normal amount if I kill em

carmine falcon
delicate shadow
#

game's idea of difficulty being that is purely because of how powercrept we are nowadays

#

it never used to be that way

zinc talon
#

do other classes besides ogryn have toughness regen on hit, or does zealot really only have the toughness on successful dodge

copper hawk
#

Back in the day

delicate shadow
#

alas, alack

copper hawk
#

When armor meant nothing

heady rapids
#

remember old darktide when everyone complained about vets not killing shooters

copper hawk
#

And enemies had less hp

sullen forge
#

The two classes I can confidentally say are in a weird spot are Zeal and Veteran cause of their extremely taxing trees or forced "You will X ability and you will be happy"

copper hawk
#

And every1 had a damage capped wpn..

heady rapids
#

and everyone ran infantry las

sterile stone

like DT is in a better spot now than on release for sure, the skill trees made the game feel way more interesting and the addition of stuff like auric, havoc, mortis etc. is overall a good thing

sullen forge
#

Yeah cause you can actually play anything on Ogryn

zinc talon
#

even on a tough loss it still feels rewarding to play okri

its the same with Psyker they just bitch about their pathings for some reason

but there had to be some way to make ogryn dodges not terrible, what with how combat and specialists generally played out
