autumn smelt
#

and thats exactly what happened

#

now im down 45 minutes and nothing to show for it, not even the triumph of completing it

feral verge
#

i just lost a hi5shock

autumn smelt
#

the refinery one?

feral verge
#

sucks, because people left my stats git eaten

#

yeah

#

my name is Mai

#

but where is Mai? gone cuz leavers

#

bot took priority somehow

autumn smelt
#

4 score pogryn

olive ember
#

Mankar scored less than 4

#

fucking unbelievable

autumn smelt
#

also pretty peeved i cant get that mod

#

so i just have to guess if im carrying my weight or not

olive ember
#

Eh I never use the mod

#

Therefore I am always carrying

#

It’s like the saying goes

#

“I think, therefore I am”

#

And no that’s not how you use the saying kek

autumn smelt
spice veldt
#

god damn

autumn smelt
#

even more pissed cuz i DIDNT DIE DURING THAT SECTION

#

even with that

#

i literally was forced to BB the whole time and spam ping cuz otherwise i wouldnt know where enemies were

olive ember
#

Wait I thought you were saying you were playing on 144p

#

Or is that my internet

autumn smelt
#

thats what it looked like on my screen

#

due to my internet fucking dying

fierce sinew
#

using any peril generating action in that environment is a power move

#

I'd be afraid of rubberbanding into a perils explosion

#

if that were me

hot coral
#

i just lost from a mutant jumping up and down a balcony and it kept throwing me back

#

lmfao

#

legit perma cc'd

autumn smelt
fierce sinew
#

when I feel like I'm about to get 2014'd I mash push attack

autumn smelt
#

i had an antax but i wouldnt have been able to tell what was around me lol

fierce sinew
#

with antax

white cedar
#

I have a question. Does "Damage" stats in Pergatus also effect the fire or only bonk damage

leaden thunder
#

it effects the flame but not the dot it applies

#

if that makes any sense at all

olive ember
#

The fire does direct damage but also applies dots

#

It’s a dump stat because the variance is small

white cedar
#

direct?

olive ember
#

When you shoot an enemy it does direct damage

#

When you use AB it applies a dot

white cedar
#

oh = =

olive ember
#

Purge staff does both

#

It’s a dump stat because the variance is small

white cedar
#

so 99% of damage calculate on Burn, right?

olive ember
#

Like I believe a 0% is like 9 dmg a tick and a 100% is like 11 dmg a tick

fierce sinew
#

when enemies are in the purg staff right click aoe they take a small amount of damage at (fairly rapid) intervals of time in addition to the soulblaze dot that's being applied

olive ember
#

You want burn and cloud radius and yea

#

I think the dump dump stat is like warp resist or quell speed or something

white cedar
#

so this staff is quite good?

fierce sinew
feral verge
fierce sinew
#

yes

white cedar
#

40% make it look stupid by the number lol

primal plume
#

is this dagger any good

kind jay
#

good enough to toss in the trash

feral verge
#

knife on psyker is a massive meme

primal plume
#

Letter opener then

feral verge
#

if you want zippy weapon

#

go use deimos

kind jay
#

if you use knife on psyker you have to also use revolver and prison garb

meager plinth
#

and +3 wound curios

fresh reef
#

Save for Vet, where it's pretty much the only mobility option

feral verge
feral verge
blazing oak
#

Well, there is another option, but probably not one anyone would use

#

For mobility

fresh reef
#

Forgot they exist lol

blazing oak
#

No

#

T4 Rev it Up blessing OmegaGuardsmanHype

fresh reef
#

Kek

fresh reef
edgy kite
#

Worth gambling upgrades on?

#

No clue if i want a specific damage roll on the deimos

feral verge
#

but if oyu want the most damage possible, you actually want warp resistance to be low

#

like this

edgy kite
#

Ah ok, thank you 🙂

feral verge
#

low warp resistance makes it easier to raise your peril, which gives you more damage from warp unleashed feat, and unstable power blessing

edgy kite
#

Yeah that makes sense

feral verge
#

which when combined are 44% more damage

#

(at t4 unstable power)

valid tulip
#

Guys which psyker voice is the best

meager plinth
#

mine

feral verge
#

the worst psykers i have seen in game

#

tended to use the male seer voice (the my beloved guy)

#

take that for what you will

#

the best psykers ive seen in game, tend to use male savant (african guy)

meager plinth
#

if you want to be verbally abused by as many characters, go for the loner

#

truly experience being a freak

fierce sinew
#

male loner is best and it's not even really close

feral verge
#

that npcs on the mourningstar are nice to me, as female loner

edgy kite
#

Ended up with this

#

Slaughterer 2 is the best I have atm, will replace it when i get a higher tier

meager plinth
#

pretty good roll

feral verge
meager plinth
#

you can use that for the entire game if you want

feral verge
#

replace block eff. w ith maniac damage

edgy kite
#

Will do when i get more crafting resources 😄

feral verge
#

with maniac damage, you will be able to one shot muties in the head

#

with the 2nd heavy stab

edgy kite
#

Nice

feral verge
#

(without charging up the weapon special)

#

you dont have to dodge them anymore

#

jsut let thme come to you

#

and stab

#

ded

meager plinth
#

which is VERY good for hi-intensity shock troop gauntlet

feral verge
#

here's a video showcasing the tech

meager plinth
#

when you got 2-3 muties running around

north solstice
#

i might be actually insane but i thought i once read that headshotting with the purg does more dmg, but i have no idea if thats the on apply dmg or actual burn dmg

meager plinth
#

there are weakpoint damage hits but the difference is minimal, like 3-5 more so idk if thats what they referenced

unreal dust
#

You -can- Crit. Which does more damage on the tick and applies bonus stacks for faster stacking up to the cap

unreal dust
olive ember
#

ewww deimos

#

why is everyone talking about inferior weapon smh

unreal dust
north solstice
#

not a first just surprised how often they get me

fierce sinew
#

people on that website make their own luck

blazing oak
#

You’d think that because of the slower response times of Reddit people would take more time to compose more meaningful responses

#

Maybe at least double checking their information or something

leaden thunder
#

they just have longer to write bullshit

north solstice
#

holy shit i am about to have an aneurism, why do people hold on to medipack so fucking long

#

i saw this man at deaths door and he just does not use it

#

boggles me

blazing oak
#

I think it may be because people don’t like to use it just for themselves

#

May feel selfish

north solstice
#

imo id prefer them use it then and not die in the middle of a firefight causing us to have to rescue them

#

even when people were around 2/3's or so he just hung on

unreal dust
#

... so I got bored

north solstice
#

but i get where youre coming from

blazing oak
#

Hey, I get it. Don’t need to tell me it

unreal dust
#

And decided to do more Wildfire testing. Like proper testing after playing with it for so long.

#

And... I am sitting here

#

Watching it Burn the small Unarmoured pack non-stop for about 5 minutes without any player input >.>

north solstice
unreal dust
#

They're still burning, as a matter of fact

blazing oak
north solstice
#

ew

ruby plover
#

when are we letting hadron swap one pair of stats again

#

could've been the ultimate stroker man

blazing oak
ruby plover
#

280 god roll

#

can stats roll 0

blazing oak
#

Yes I think

spice veldt
#

yup

pearl lion
#

Hm what curio setup do we recommend

unreal dust
pearl lion
#

Yeah Ive got toughness health and stamina at the mo

#

I feel like I need the stam for reviving

ruby plover
#

one stam curio is real real nice if ur not running peril block

#

otherwise toughness gang smoothnodders

unreal dust
#

1 Stam curio is nice just for the extra shove

obtuse moth
#

just take the peril block trait for reviving

ruby plover
#

yeah 33% dr sucks

#

🥴

pearl lion
#

Oh yeah Ive been meaning to switch from move while vent

blazing oak
#

FatShark please bring back force sword deflector working during revivals

obtuse moth
#

if you still want better reviving you can roll revive speed

ruby plover
#

triple revive curio users are literally the single chadliest chads in tertium

#

no question

unreal dust
ruby plover
#

best on zealot bipbrain

obtuse moth
#

psykers revive pretty well too

ruby plover
#

vet has nadespam too

obtuse moth
#

zealot can do the same thing if they take the immunity to hitstun feat

ruby plover
#

reviving is for everyone

pearl lion
#

Oh

#

hm

ruby plover
#

75% toughness dr also pretty good for revives it turns out

obtuse moth
#

vet doesnt need revive speed as much cause they have so many nades

pearl lion
#

Upgrade this, or take the blessing and put it on

lethal folio
#

2

pearl lion
#

Put the blessing on 2?

lethal folio
#

Yes.

violet thorn
#

How do you do max dmg with perils of the warp?

#

Total number of wounds?

blazing oak
#

You mean the explosion?

unreal dust
#

Blow yourself up for days

unreal dust
blazing oak
#

I’ll do you one better. Try spawning inside the floor of the dropship

pearl lion
#

Learning from Bardin. Gotta protect the Dongliz

spring fern
#

psyker codpiece

#

we store residual power there

#

some store more than others

long wharf
#

that's where I store my warp charges

nimble burrow
#

that’d be my F key

#

UNLEASH THE WARP

pearl lion
#

It is genuinely such a weird piece of armour

#

Its just tacked on there

blazing oak
#

No stomach armor

hollow spindle
#

I swear after getting my staff all pimped out the game became such a breeze

near wyvern
#

Groin protection was taken into sports before helmets were a thing. Gotta have your priorities right.

hollow spindle
#

It's basically a bolter on steroids that doesn't need reloading

pearl lion
#

Warhammer armour works by anime rules. 99% of hits on protagonists are to the shoulders, hence the huge pauldrons

long wharf
#

the psyker subconsciously redirects all attacks towards the groin area

#

hence the heavy fortification

blazing oak
#

Also it’s entirely useless unless reinforced by plot armor

#

For anyone not a main character the armor is useless

pearl lion
#

Glorious Nippon T'au steel

hollow spindle
#

Tau keeps reminding me that I want more of Commander Farsight

blazing oak
#

What if those could detach and become handheld shields for melee though?

hollow spindle
#

Imagine being Tau and going like "You know what, I'm going melee"

unreal dust
blazing oak
#

Like when the enemy is getting into melee range just take off your Pauldron and use it as a shield

hollow spindle
#

I'm not into the tabletop. I just read general lore and play Darktide & Warhammer 3 from the fantasy side.

blazing oak
#

I would be into tabletop if painting was a skippable step

hollow spindle
#

Last 40k games I played was Space Marine & Dawn of War 2

pearl lion
#

Those are probably the last good 40k games since DT anyway

unreal dust
pearl lion
#

Well Battlefleet Gothic was also good

hollow spindle
#

Dawn of war 3 was garbage

pearl lion
#

Im still mad about DoW

#

Its one of the last games I ever preordered

near wyvern
hollow spindle
#

Dawn of war 2 was so good imo. I had so much fun playing 3v3 in that game

pearl lion
#

I finished one mission and just though
This is so incredibly shit, what happened

#

Never played it again

unreal dust
unreal dust
hollow spindle
#

lmao

#

I remember people playing tyranids as either melee blobs or ranged blobs

#

one well placed AOE ability and you'd kill the most of them

unreal dust
hollow spindle
#

I once made a tyranid guy ragequit by dragging all his troops back with my warlock lord ability, then d-cannoning them all into a singularity

#

wiped 80% of his army in that go

#

I had the widest fucking smile on my face

#

Eldar were so fun in that game

unreal dust
#

A single missed grenade though and you tended to die...

hollow spindle
#

Yeah don't get me wrong, tyranid blobs were fucking scary

#

especially the ranged

unreal dust
#

Yeah, once Raveners hit the field with Devourers things tend to melt

hollow spindle
#

yep

#

Still, using D-cannons against those massive tyranid blobs never got old

#

so much fun

unreal dust
#

Good times

hollow spindle
#

Or when you play chaos and saw the tyranid mass retreat, just pop an ult into the retreat path

#

I have so many fond memories of that game

#

goddamn

blazing oak
#

Anyone play black crusade

hollow spindle
#

I did not partake

blazing oak
#

Damn

#

I need advice on something

hollow spindle
#

I think I've finished the DoW2 campaign like 10+ times in co-op though

blazing oak
#

Actually question

#

In retribution, you can actually recruit units

#

That true?

hollow spindle
#

Retribution was the worst campaign of them all

#

original and chaos rising were the best ones

blazing oak
#

But I want to play Dow2 imperial guard >:(

hollow spindle
#

It's still pretty much just hero based

blazing oak
#

We need a Warhammer 40k other video game channels

hollow spindle
#

but yeah you can get units in retribution

#

like normal ones

blazing oak
#

Dang

hollow spindle
#

I highly recommend the campaign co-op with a friend tho

#

It's really good fun

blazing oak
#

What are friends

#

I’ve already played the first game

hollow spindle
#

Mythical beings

blazing oak
#

I’ve played the base game campaign once

#

I ask about black crusade because my province is under siege from a tidal wave of chaos marines and big quadruped vehicles and I’m not sure what army composition defeats that

#

As imperial guard

hollow spindle
#

@blazing oak If you haven't played Gladius that's a fun one

blazing oak
#

I have it

hollow spindle
#

❤️

blazing oak
#

I’m terrible at it

hollow spindle
#

It hits different, but I still like it.

#

I've not played it in a long time though

unreal dust
hollow spindle
#

so it's prolly very different now.

blazing oak
#

So I’m wondering if to go for more artillery or heavy weapons squads

fresh steeple
#

HARD carry on this map 😛

feral verge
#

nope

#

you took the most damage

unreal dust
#

Fighting Marines isn't always about killing them outright. Sometimes you just need to abuse their limited map presence and go for objectives. Autocannons tend to do work if you don't have a lot of plasma though

feral verge
#

means you're bad

fresh steeple
#

also three revives, though that doesn't show atm

blazing oak
fresh steeple
#

I had to keep kamikazeing my way toward gunner squads beacuse the other psyker was flamer and the veteran for whatever bizarre reason didn't target gunners

feral verge
#

damn. perks are bad

fresh steeple
#

other psyker was good. Just... not able to help with gunners because of purgatus

feral verge
#

but the stat roll is great

fresh steeple
#

really nice stat roll

blazing oak
cyan notch
#

buy then hope fatshonk changes locks later

feral verge
#

thanks fatshark

olive ember
#

Bricked kekw

blazing oak
#

It would probably be healthier for the game if FatShark found a way to take out the rng but keep in the different stat distributions

hollow spindle
unreal dust
olive ember
#

Still can’t believe we don’t have a boss raid mode where 8 or 16 players fight 2 or 4 space marines

#

SMH

cyan notch
#

why do u need 16 players

blazing oak
#

Black crusade

cyan notch
#

16 people in an fps for a raid

blazing oak
#

Wait shit

olive ember
#

Cuz 16 players funny kekw

blazing oak
#

I always say black crusade when it’s dark crusade

cyan notch
#

where there are not even designated roles

olive ember
#

But yeah probably 8

#

But think about 16 bolters

gilded magnet
#

Welp this axe is kinda cursed

olive ember
#

It would be fun

blazing oak
#

@unreal dust DoW Dark Crusade, sorry

cyan notch
#

theres no healers no tanks nothing

#

everybody is dps

olive ember
#

But 16 bolters

ruby plover
#

rashad is always cursed

hollow spindle
#

@blazing oak I actually kind of want to go back to dawn of war 1

#

the campaign was fire

blazing oak
#

Never played the original

cyan notch
#

only 2 classes can use bolters

blazing oak
#

Just dark crusade

hollow spindle
#

I mean all the campaigns in that are good

olive ember
#

16 autopistols

blazing oak
#

Seriously we kind of do need a channel for other 40k video games

hollow spindle
#

If we had enough people I'd want to run 3v3 games in Dawn of war 2

#

that shit is FUN

blazing oak
#

How does that work

#

Is it just each person gets their three hero squads

hollow spindle
#

nah

#

you have your set base, a hero and then you build units.

#

then you fight over three strategic points for victory points and other resource nodes.

blazing oak
#

What’s the difference from dow1?

hollow spindle
#

you don't build base

#

at all

worn ravine
#

slaughterer or unstab pwr with deflector on force swoard

blazing oak
#

Alright

worn ravine
#

?

hollow spindle
#

lmao

north cradle
#

I'd say Slaughterer since you'd get way more Power faster than you would with Unstable Power

worn ravine
#

well said

leaden thunder
#

well unstable you can be at 80% peril and swap to your melee

unreal dust
leaden thunder
#

but sluaghterer gives like

#

significantly more everything then unstable

north cradle
leaden thunder
#

you just stroke your illisi

north cradle
#

Is he using Illisi

leaden thunder
#

idk

#

ust said force sowrd

worn ravine
#

illisi

ruby plover
#

if u have to pick one ya u take slaughterer

worn ravine
#

but id like to know deimos as well

ruby plover
#

but ideally u get both

worn ravine
#

alongside a autopistol

ruby plover
#

unstable deimos with no staff kinda poopoo

#

still take slaughterer tho

worn ravine
#

makes sense

#

guess it doesnt make sense to only build peril with bb

north cradle
#

There are no situations I can think of where Slaughterer is not the preferred blessing. It's the Swift Slaying of Darktide

ruby plover
#

slaughterer is really so dumb

#

🥴

void mural
#

It just does too many good things at once

ruby plover
#

and also the number is just wildly overtuned

void mural
#

Yeah

blazing oak
#

Who knew that [significant damage buff for doing normal thing] would be good

#

No nerf slaughterer without compensation weapon damage buffs

#

Slaughterer blessing is the Diamondback from Tf2 except without a downside

void mural
#

It also does so much more than just damage

blazing oak
#

Maybe explain that then

worn ravine
#

looking at buying this melk curio. i know alot of ppl run +1 wounds for dam. is it better than either of my current ones? or could it take wound spot?

void mural
#

Power increases dmg, cleave, and cleave damage. I feel like I'm missing something else too

primal plume
#

im missing a tube

leaden thunder
#

damage, cleave and stagger

void mural
#

Ah, stagger

worn ravine
#

dam

leaden thunder
#

the overall damage boost is what increases the cleave damage

steel flame
#

Slaughterer needs alternatives before they can even think about nerfing it. It is literally one of the only blessings that adds any significant power boost right now. Nerfing would just be a net loss for everyone as it stands now

leaden thunder
#

it doesn't increse distribution %s

void mural
hollow spindle
#

Slide Reload

north solstice
void mural
#

Should literally be 100% reload speed increase

blazing oak
#

If they nerf slaughterer without buffing chaxe power there’s gonna be sadness

north solstice
#

Deflector 🥰

worn ravine
#

i feel like snipers are the one thing that mess up my runs. is it better to buff toughness, rather than health?

blazing oak
void mural
#

It's cool, but the number needs to be bugger

hollow spindle
#

It's a meme

steel flame
north solstice
#

^

hollow spindle
#

and whoever of the devs made it has a huge trollface

ruby plover
#

unless ur a veteran

void mural
#

I want to be able to slide reload my bolter in 1 second! Woo!

north solstice
#

i just make sure to be extra careful to not get hit but it does happen occasionally

ruby plover
#

in which case u can shamelessly tank snipers KEKsplode

spice veldt
#

they deal 10x toughness damage

blazing oak
#

Slide reload shotgun could be cool

#

If shotguns weren’t snipers

north solstice
#

lol

spice veldt
#

the other property is that if any of their damage touches your HP at all, it will dump the full damage onto your HP regardless of your toughness

hollow spindle
#

My veteran has 300 toughness and I can tank a sniper shot easy with F up

spice veldt
#

so it's all or nothing

void mural
#

For real, slide reload is on all the weapons that don't need it

hollow spindle
#

with loads of toughness left

north solstice
#

v*t

cyan notch
ruby plover
#

i run 60% sniper res on psyker doe

#

cuz like yeah

blazing oak
#

If you leave the helbore on the last stage of reloading it’s faster to switch to it and fire then normal switching

ruby plover
#

they will fuck u up

north solstice
#

how often do you get hit by snipers??

ruby plover
#

more than i die to other things

worn ravine
#

not about how often, when they do its game changing

north solstice
#

fair

spice veldt
#

in my case, often

#

i'm extremely bad at noticing things in my vision if they're not large

blazing oak
#

Just play sniper gauntlet with a flamer and you’ll learn to git gud at snipers

steel flame
north solstice
#

simply dont get hit guys 💁‍♀️

spice veldt
#

it's just a weird mechanic

north solstice
#

they have like

#

ranged dmg reduction

#

thats about it

spice veldt
#

if your toughness is broken, they'll dump their full 122.5 damage onto you

ruby plover
#

(its also melee reduction)

north solstice
#

????

leaden thunder
#

yeah

north solstice
leaden thunder
#

same deal with vets one

#

no

#

or well

ruby plover
#

is there any source of ranged toughness damage reduction in the game

leaden thunder
#

not really

ruby plover
#

they all say it

leaden thunder
blazing oak
leaden thunder
#

it's all

spice veldt
#

they probably didn't implement it

ruby plover
#

it does its just all damage

leaden thunder
#

not just ranged

steel flame
#

So it's like I just said with an exception towards veteren

leaden thunder
#

there is a couple things that just like

#

don't exist

#

ranged damage reduction is one of them

#

close range power is another

void mural
#

Oh, is that another lie?

ruby plover
#

u ever think about how martyrdom doesnt give power

void mural
#

Close range power is just power?

leaden thunder
#

nope

#

it's damage

blazing oak
#

Give me my navis armsmen class where I’m incentivized to shoot point blank shotguns into folks

steel flame
#

I mean ranged toughness Dr exists for psyker

leaden thunder
#

it is just close range damage

ruby plover
#

dawg

leaden thunder
#

so at least it's partially right

leaden thunder
#

it's all

void mural
#

Oh, so wrong keyword, right range

leaden thunder
#

yeah

#

I think it also like

#

has fall off or something

void mural
#

the fatshark touch!

spice veldt
#

fatshark description-itis

#

maybe they wanted it to work that way but never got to actually implementing it

void mural
#

I think it's a combo of both across the whole game

blazing oak
#

I mean all toughness damage dr > than ranged only right?

void mural
#

Yeah, but it'd be nice to know

spice veldt
#

maybe, but then they'd have to balance around that

#

I hate ranged enemies more than melee enemies

void mural
#

Ok, cool... it's still not as strong as KD

leaden thunder
#

my guess is they'll just change the description eventually

void mural
#

Yeah

#

Soon tm

leaden thunder
#

they are finally getting around to fixing the incorrect brittlenss vs rending descriptions

void mural
#

Yeah, I noticed

blazing oak
#

It really is interesting to have all these things that do stuff that’s not part of the description and having no idea if it’s intentional so every patch is a worry fest of “is this cool interaction going to be removed”

leaden thunder
#

yep

blazing oak
#

Is the zealot perk that stops you receiving ranged stagger intentional or am I gonna have to switch to holy revenant

void mural
#

I feel like they could hire 1 dedicated person to just unify their tool tip wording and correct things

blazing oak
#

After April patch

leaden thunder
#

no idea

void mural
#

Like... their tooltips are probably just taken from a text file, I'd think

leaden thunder
#

like I am pretty sure they buffed fire frenzy

#

but didn't change what it said it does

hollow spindle
leaden thunder
#

it was in the patch notes for one

hollow spindle
#

hmm I missed that then

leaden thunder
#

it does just say for shotguns and ripper guns

#

Shotguns and Ripperguns

Fire Frenzy blessing fixed and rebalanced across the tiers:
From 4/6/80/10% to 7.5/10/12.5/15% per stack (still max stacks of 5)
Dev Note: “Tier 3 was bugged and could stack up to 400% damage bonus!”

blazing oak
#

You get FatShark to give you one answer to a question: what is it?

void mural
#

What happened to the story; did we just get the cutting room floor scraps, and what was planned originally?

blazing oak
#

I personally think it got scrapped

void mural
#

Same

blazing oak
#

Judging by character creation, there are two opposing design directions for the character we play

void mural
#

It's quite clear we got the leftovers that they stitched together as best they could

One is the you are faceless and that’s the background choices. The other is the 12 personalities and they are pseudo vt2 heroes

hollow spindle
#

No, it's quite clear they left blessing designs to the interns

#

while they were doing less than savoury things best left off social media

blazing oak
#

The blessings might be new additions after they scrapped the original crafting system

void mural
#

I personally think that's part of why the mission board is stupid and rng, but there's the occasional undertone of a story, like with the transmission mission vaguely being related to a traitor being on the mourningstar

blazing oak
#

If the blessings were not part of the original crafting system, it could explain how they were just trying to get what they could think of into the game before it came out

#

Leading to slide reload

hollow spindle
#

I still laugh every time I see slide reload

#

what a fucking joke

void mural
#

I think they had multiple teams of people brainstorming blessing ideas without talking to eachother, which is why the numbers vary so wildly

#

And there was no balancing pass before release

hollow spindle
#

Would explain a lot.

blazing oak
#

I would personally like it if the 12 personalities story thread overtook the personal reject story thread and the story became how the war changes and the 12 personalities are minor characters while the Zola morrow hadron and rannick are the major characters

void mural
#

I'd like any story?

blazing oak
#

You have any story

#

I watch level 30 cutscene so I can listen to Path of Trust music again

void mural
#

Lol, no we don't. We just have, "you suck, you suck a bit less, ok, you are accepted"

blazing oak
#

That’s a story

#

You said any story

void mural
#

I disagree

blazing oak
#

Did not specify length or quality

void mural
#

The point I'm making is that what they threw together isn't even a story, it's nothing

blazing oak
#

The story is: you are a reject on the ship. While you do missions and gain more trust, you learn of a heretic on the ship. The search for the heretic concludes as you reach full trust and they are executed as you gain honorary inquisition status

olive ember
#

Maybe the real Darktide story were the friends we made along the way

#

🙂

void mural
#

It's 5 people telling you to go away and work, and then someone you don't know dies

blazing oak
#

That’s oversimplification of it

void mural
#

That's the "story" I got from darktide

#

No story

hollow spindle
#

I honestly believe they're adding in narrative campaign later

blazing oak
#

The “story” I got was a reject that survived the odds and gained some respect while Rannick hunts down a heretic on the ship

hollow spindle
#

they just didn't have time for it for launch

blazing oak
#

It’s not a good story

#

But it’s a story

olive ember
#

I mean 1984 was just about a guy and a girl trying to have sex and coffee and getting caught

#

was it coffee

void mural
#

The story started, then went nowhere and ended with unrelated plot points

blazing oak
#

No not really

#

You became an honorary inquisition member

#

That’s not really super unrelated

clear heath
#

gets called
"who are you? why are you even here?"

void mural
#

The traitor thing. There should have been literally any player involvement. There was none, hence unrelatedness

olive ember
#

impeccable writing

#

you don't know that we were summoned toegether

#

clearly we were bait

blazing oak
#

You gotta think of the bigger picture, not just the cutscenes in the middle of the level up process

#

To understand that the bad story they told was still a story

#

Even if it was bad

void mural
#

If they wanted a "bigger picture" then they need to add a "bigger picture"

steel flame
#

we need a picture first

blazing oak
#

That is not what I meant and you know it

void mural
#

I get what you're saying, but I disagree that it qualifies as a story

steel flame
#

or maybe a frame to put said picture in cause there is no frame work for a story either

void mural
#

There's 1 cutscene talking about a traitor, then later 1 cutscene where they die

steel flame
#

its two small sections cut from a story and then called a story

blazing oak
#

That’s not the entire thing though

void mural
#

We don't even know what they were traitoring about other than a chaos mark

blazing oak
#

It’s a subplot of the story stapled onto the original plot given by the prologue

#

Stapled badly

steel flame
#

why are they traitoring, who are they traitoring? HOW are they traitering

#

I DEMAND ANSWERS

void mural
#

They had the start of story with us getting on the morningstar, and the end of a story, with us getting officially accepted. No middle ground because every in between cutscene was just various characters calling us trash

blazing oak
#

At least they do introduce the melk and hadron stations though

thorny socket
#

I felt like the Mazozi cutscene was weird

blazing oak
#

Hold on dornam there is character development

thorny socket
#

Its too late in the leveling for her to treat us like we're comeplete strangers

blazing oak
#

In one hadron cutscene the reject is late, in a later hadron cutscene the reject is early!

#

Character development!

thorny socket
blazing oak
#

and?

#

Never said she was nice

olive ember
#

its the cutscene tied to unlocking the "crafting" system

blazing oak
#

That’s tied to the leveling though

olive ember
#

well no you see

#

I had all my characters at 30 before the crafting was unlocked

#

not leveling

blazing oak
#

Was that in the beta?

olive ember
#

not initially no

blazing oak
#

Because creating a new character it says that the shrine of the Omnissiah opens at level x

steel flame
#

i feel like mazozi has no reason to have such a high station in darktide like she does. is she the leader of the flight division? all we know is that she is a pilot. what authority does she have

#

that always confused me

clear heath
#

I assumed she was important because she seems to give us some of the mission briefings, but i have no idea why either

blazing oak
#

She seems to be acquainted with morrow and Zola so maybe it’s favoritism

fierce sinew
#

do people actually think there is or is going to be a """story""" rather than the digital analogue to flavor text

clear heath
#

no

thorny socket
#

She makes bets with Rannick (if she's telling the truth) so I imagine she's just an invaluable pilot

steel flame
void mural
#

The best I think we'll get is a couple of added cutscenes that weren't finished on release

rustic falcon
#

Isn’t she called wing commander by someone?

void mural
#

I'd wish for a total revamp... but I'm not hopeful

fierce sinew
#

any resource spent on storytelling in a game like this is a resource wasted, hope they don't

thorny socket
#

I always found it weird we don't speak in any cutscene past the prologue

steel flame
#

THE ONLY REASON WE EVEN KNOW THE NAME OF THE SHIP MISTRISS IS IS BECAUSE OF OFF HAND DIOLOGUE. THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT PEOPLE

thorny socket
#

Granted we don't say much in the prologue either but atleast it was something

void mural
blazing oak
#

Maybe mazosi has the station of being our reject squad assigned pilot

olive ember
#

I mean

#

most of the story is via the youtube channel

#

the vox wte they are called

blazing oak
#

They have a pilot for each reject squad or something

fierce sinew
#

they're all masozis

blazing oak
#

That’s why she didn’t recognize us

#

We went up to the wrong clone

#

During the cutscene

fierce sinew
#

like every bartender in loa is a different person all called neria

steel flame
#

oh god we have the nurse joy of pilots

fierce sinew
#

an entire flight division of weird neoafrican gambling addicts

thorny socket
#

Mazozi is actually Tzeentch

twilit flicker
#

We are in a simulation

steel flame
#

if every mazozi is a wing commander, who is the wing commander commander?

blazing oak
#

Morrow probably

#

Morrow Zola and rannick are the only real humans that are not us

#

Everything else is a clone

#

Everyone else is alpharius

steel flame
#

i love how the random ass convicts know more story details about the important figures than we do

blazing oak
#

It’s to make casual players want to know more about 40k

steel flame
#

they should in no way conceivably know jack shit about marrow

blazing oak
#

Eh. My loner psyker I think believes the morrow stuff is just hearsay

thorny socket
#

I heard he fired the shot that gave old one eye it's name!

blazing oak
#

I think it’s rumors

#

You know what it is? It’s probably mazosi running her mouth during card games with the rejects and then the rumors spiral from there

steel flame
#

fair enough

twilit flicker
#

Not totally, the psykers know he's old old

blazing oak
#

What if all the info is just psykers reading the mind of morrow and rannick and then it goes from there

fierce sinew
#

the psykers read minds, if the convicts are all talking they all know

#

very easy for them to just handwave with psykers involved

#

literal magic, shut up etc

blazing oak
#

Rannick looking at indomitus reports = talk about that from psykers = Ogryn hears that while walking around = Ogryn brings it up during mission

unreal dust
#

So... ... I'm ready to be a Wildfire Stan. I have decided I like it over Warp Battery for my Hi-Shock runs. (Purg+Deimos)
Consider: Warp Battery only works at 6 stacks, Wildfire works all the time.
This also frees the Psyker up to take Aura over Communion
In the madness of Hi-Shock, it allows a single line of sustained fireto clean up the 'fringes' of an inbound horde that normally spread as the horde's leading edge staggers and forces rear poxwalkers to spread around.

steel flame
#

at least vermintide 2 didnt pretend there was a story that was happening that didnt exist

fierce sinew
#

darktide doesn't either, only knuckle dragging redditors do

cursive marten
#

which one to choose surge on void strike or a good duelling sword.

#

I dont have enough for both :C

clear heath
#

people use duelling swords?

steel flame
#

surge, or just wait a day

unreal dust
feral verge
steel flame
#

diemos is better than dueling sword rn

#

oops

clear heath
#

lol

fierce sinew
#

only duelling swords

#

which are similar, but less literate

cursive marten
olive ember
#

surge is kinda bad

twilit flicker
#

Maan I'm tilted, our team threw at the comms plex finale. We started with two psykers and two vets, the other psyker left and got replaced by another vet.
Two vets couldnt stick together and we got taken out one by one by a horde with shotgunners and a mutant. One of the solo vets and myself did the carrying, I was using a revolver lol, I think that might have been why psyker left, we wasn't around for long.

olive ember
#

duelling swords are also kinda bad

#

just um

unreal dust
olive ember

I mean

#

surge blessing is p bad

fierce sinew

I don't think ds are bad, just overshadowed

surge staff is great

deimos is just cracked

fuuuu both sour milk and brunt only have dueling swords and auto guns

there's no point in me playing my zealot anymore

the best option would be to wait for a reroll tomarrow

this is on my psyker melee wannabe-zealot build

surge blessing being mid is like about as milque toast of a take you can get

feral verge

they just decided to make something that did that but more

so yeah

i am not going to rank deflector because it's just a neat utility

Deflector is a hot take

it's a preference

you cant tell me you've never sighed when you've seen someone use a bad weapon in damnation?

that way it doesn't matter who brings what, you'll steamroll it

unreal dust

Its base level Damnation. Who cares?

long wharf

I don't consider shield ogryns automatically bad

#

depends entirely on the player

feral verge
#

it's more than just the weapon

gilded viper
#

I can't blame mankar too much

feral verge
#

usually those that bring it aren't in the know

gilded viper
#

I rarely get good shield user

#

And most of them actual play like bot

feral verge
#

i want a fun game. carrying games for me isn't fun

is that so bad

unreal dust
feral verge
#

fun to me = everyone is pulling their weight in the hardest game difficulty

unreal dust

Did a Hi-Shock clear with a Shieldgryn. It was amazing

long wharf
feral verge
#

shieldgryn puts the weight into everyone else

long wharf
#

that's not what you're being criticized about, though, either

gilded viper
#

Thing is I feel like a good shield ogryn would just not use shield but this is pure ignorance on me

blazing oak
#

The only time I sigh is when I’m playing surge psyker and another psyker rocks up with their surge staff

long wharf
#

a good shield ogryn knows when and where to use that shield

feral verge
#

most aren't good

long wharf
#

and an impenetrable barrier can be situationally life saving

blazing oak
#

Playing surge psyker when another surge psyker is on the team is not fun for me

spice veldt
#

i have zero trust in shield ogryns on my team

gilded viper
#

Double surge RWwhy

unreal dust
long wharf
#

with multiple psykers, it's important to balance out who is using what

spice veldt
#

almost all of them have just relied on shield and just did nothing whenever there was a fight

rancid burrow
blazing oak
#

Triple and quadruple surge is a meme, but double surge is just see ya later and I want to disconnect

spice veldt
#

which isn't necessarily bad, but I'd prefer DPS output from my team

unreal dust
rancid burrow
#

Now let's see everyone tear it apart

#

Like everyone does to everything I use

feral verge
#

i'm gonna be that guy who mentions hours. i have over 550 hours of experience in this game, and over that experience, i've learned that shieldgryn's cannot be depended upon in damnation

bold flint
#

doubled up void is bussin

#

nothing lives

rancid burrow
#

@feral vergeAgreed

#

700 hours

#

The shield blocking your own bullets makes them more of a hinderance

spice veldt
#

eh, you could always leave your team to avoid them blocking your bullets

gilded viper
#

I had a few good shield ogyrn but those shield user just never use special or rarely use it which made them 100x useless then most of them

Naw shield ogyrn

gilded viper
#

Think he mean in general not just psyker

ashen sphinx
#

where would I go to get help with the psyker penances

feral verge
#

yeah, it's not just the weapon itself. it's the user too who not always, but usually doesn't really know the game in-depth. for starters, if they did, they owuld know that the "pros" of this community have rejected the shield for several huge reasons

kind jay
rancid burrow
ashen sphinx

because you attack quickly

only if you light-spam

which you shouldn't be doing

Isn't the illisi light spam good tho?

spice veldt
#

2 cleave compared to 6 cleave

#

and h1 is spammable with QQ

long wharf
spice veldt
#

why would you ever not heavy

rancid burrow
#

lmfao

spice veldt
#

is this why people think the obscurus is shit

rancid burrow
long wharf
#

nah, that's because the obscurus has a terrible moveset

cyan notch
rancid burrow
#

This well bring it over the edge for flak head enemies and stuff

blazing oak
#

Isn’t it more noob to have all the plasteel because it means you are refusing to interface with the rng

spice veldt
#

2nd heavy is still good

gilded viper
rancid burrow
cyan notch
#

lights are good for fast hits

spice veldt
#

also crits having reduced power the 2nd target and beyond on normal attacks

cyan notch
#

sometimes u dont have time to charge up attacks

rancid burrow
#

I one shot most small units to the head on damnation

#

I'm talking poxwalkers and stuff

spice veldt
#

for 2-4 targets, it's comparable since the cleave is really the only differentiator between lights and heavies

#

but for more than that, you should absolutely be using heavies

#

there is no excuse when pushing exists

#

or just spamming dodges

gilded viper
#

I suck at this game COPIUM

rancid burrow
#

You can use a charged light to stun a crusher

spice veldt
#

charged lights are fine

#

they have the same cleave as heavies so idgaf

rancid burrow
#

And I don't really need more than one charged light and then combo'd heavy attack

spice veldt
#

their cleave distribution is meh but the cleave is good enough

gilded viper
#

And for some reason kinda went into the weapon as "heavy sword but for psyker "

rancid burrow
#

Oh that sword needs to be charged at all times

#

That's why I use Warp Absorption with it

cloud sequoia
rancid burrow
#

Light attack, heavy attack, reset

#

That's your swarm combo

cyan notch
#

its pretty bad compared to the others

long wharf
cyan notch
#

the other 2 have spammable lights that are usable in addition to horde combos

gilded viper
#

The moveset was the biggest turnoff for me even once I learn the optimal route

cyan notch
#

obscurus just has 1 combo that ur forced to use for everything

spice veldt
#

but performance wise, the obscurus was fine

rancid burrow
#

It is the absolute worst force sword though

#

It was fine when it was all we had but now? I'll never use it

gilded viper
#

I haven't use it since the patch but they did buff it damage so

spice veldt
#

I agree that virtually every combo besides light->heavy sucks ass, but the light->heavy itself is fine

blazing oak
cyan notch
#

even that wasnt that great it was kinda slow sometimes

#

i got hit out of my heavy charge occasionally

rancid burrow
spice veldt
#

though I usually got my toughness back up fairly quickly

rancid burrow
#

People really shaft psyker in particular

spice veldt
#

just spamming infinite dodges lets you avoid hits most of the time

olive ember
blazing oak
#

When I spam dodges it starts giving me a delay before I can dodge again with force sword

cyan notch
#

probably

rancid burrow
blazing oak
#

So I start jumping because controller means dodge is jump buttons

spice veldt
#

just gotta time it or use a macro

¯_(ツ)_/¯

its true tho

anyways wat are you guys talking about

rancid burrow

It's true but explaining the shortcomings is productive while "skill issue lul" is insulting
