psyker-class

[fading depot]

My hot take is you don't need your flawless 380 weapons to do anything, skill is more important than a few percentiles

[hoary badge]

And did you enjoy using it or were you hung up over the idea of redditors telling you what it could have been?

[severe folio]

shut up jonson go back to sleep

[compact cargo]

In vt2 you really have a "ok I got my reds, now I truly got nothing to do but keep playing"

[fading depot]

I never cared

[compact cargo]

you will never have to re-grind those reds

[fading depot]

I'm still using a 473 purgatus force staff

[fluid knot]

Sure, but thats not the problem, the problem is the aquisition of desireable weapons to make builds with being absolute fucking A*ds

[golden tartan]

Frankly better idea. Just remove the grind entirely

:D

[compact cargo]

no!

you need carrots

[severe folio]

what are you even saying anymore Grawr

[compact cargo]

otherwise the bunnies will just hop to the next carrot

[severe folio]

youre on a whole different dimension right now

[fading depot]

I went ahead and got myself some cool weapons because I had millions of ordos and tens of thousands of mats but at no point did I feel like I couldn't compete without them

[golden tartan]

Hang on here's my carrot.

Cosmetic skins

[severe folio]

we're still here on 3D while your brain go back to 2D

[golden tartan]

bows

[compact cargo]

Not with the current system we ain't

[golden tartan]

Fair

[fluid knot]

Peasents, im seeing the world in 872D

[fading depot]

ESPECIALLY for Psyker, literally has to be the least gear dependent class

[golden tartan]

But its hilariously easy to make weapon skins

[hoary badge]

Carrots good for eyesight so I can scroll through the Armory addon faster

[compact cargo]

I disagree.

[severe folio]

thats still divisible by 2

[compact cargo]

Getting a good melee is quite relevant due to squishy nature

atleast with high dodge count*

[fading depot]

I used a 460 rating knife for months for the mobility

[fluid knot]

And three is divisible by one, so who's the smartarse now

[fading depot]

All you need nowadays is smite

[golden tartan]

Look just make it slightly shinier and people will play hundreds of hours and spend thousands of dollars to buy it

:P

(Exaggeration sure.)

[compact cargo]

Wait, what if instead of selling cosmetics, fatshark sold "missions" to obtain said cosmetics

[golden tartan]

Battlepass?

[compact cargo]

NO

[severe folio]

its a prime number

[fluid knot]

I'd rather not have a battlepass

[golden tartan]

Me neither

[compact cargo]

Special missions (like deeds in vt2)

with many modifiers

[golden tartan]

Ah

Like TF2

🤔

[compact cargo]

YES

u can still pay to skip it

[fluid knot]

Thats moving the goalposts

[severe folio]

thats adding characteristic

[hoary badge]

People will just cheese them for the cosmetiks

[fluid knot]

But noone is gonna do that

[onyx sentinel]

anyone ever got an issue where they can't change their loadout? even if the equipped loadout is deleted

[severe folio]

never heard of it

[golden tartan]

Not against it. Not for it. Neutral

[compact cargo]

Fatshark has already done a system like this for dlc career cosmetics

[fluid knot]

An even if they did implement it in such a way as that, there would be only the 1% of the community earning them, because likely they'd have to be made excessively hard for people to want to buy them

[golden tartan]

But yea frankly Id make cosmetics the grind part of the game

[fluid knot]

And that would result in a lot of bad PR

[hoary badge]

Like all the countless frames earned through firewalk-mapswap exploits

[golden tartan]

And make the mechanical part just easily accessible or at least consistent

Would reduce the grief over it anyway'

[fading depot]

Says who? Hayabusa armor in halo was like that

It was cool when cosmetics meant skill and not disposable income

[fluid knot]

That was how many decades ago now?

[severe folio]

this is not Halo

[fading depot]

1?

[severe folio]

this is a lot different

and a tad different fanbase

[fading depot]

It's not that different

[compact cargo]

Could even have the girl with all the scrolls be the manager of that system, with "freebooter" players (non-whales) occasionaly getting "deeds" for weapons instead, said weapons could be of 380 modifier

[fading depot]

We already have cosmetics for doing specific challenges

[compact cargo]

so paying costumers get "cosmetic deeds" and non-payers get "weapon deeds"

[fluid knot]

A decade is a long time, back then you couldnt out an buy stuff like that, nowdays, companies are trying to incentivise purchases, not only have things for the small 1%ers

[fading depot]

Just adding ones for even harder challenges is hardly a stretch

[compact cargo]

would help emprah gifts been shit too

[fluid knot]

Having penances adding more, great, but then its taking money out of FS's pocket, so paying to skip penances would just never be done, the concept is inherently flawed

[fading depot]

Yeah because they want a lot of money

[compact cargo]

People pay to skip ff14's story

[fluid knot]

Welcome to the modern world

[compact cargo]

[hoary badge]

Cosmetics to take time and money to pump out compared to stat grinds

[severe folio]

ff14 is not the same

[golden tartan]

Tbf

[fluid knot]

Companies exist to make money, not hurt their own bottom line by throwing people bones

[golden tartan]

The main story is the weakest

[severe folio]

and paying to skip its story is a different directive as well

[compact cargo]

Oi heavensward is great

[severe folio]

not to mention fatshark would never be able to pull a square enix

Do you see a DT 2.0 5 years in the future ?

[compact cargo]

Like I saw vt2

[golden tartan]

I can see a full crafting rework

[fluid knot]

I'd like to see where DT is in 3 years before making that call tbh

[golden tartan]

VT2 did

[severe folio]

VT2 exist

[compact cargo]

people thought vt2 had no future after WoM

[fading depot]

The jump between VT and VT2 is different from VT2 to DT

[severe folio]

and DT, almost identical in the model to VT2 also exist

and you think it can happen ?

If it could happen

[golden tartan]

VT2 had chaos wastes

:D

[fading depot]

VT2 was a huge upgrade, DT was mostly a setting change

[severe folio]

DT would have been the 2.0 already

[hoary badge]

And this ain't some low fidelity game like DRG where they can keep churning out goofy joke hats under a day

[golden tartan]

Also ye after playing DT

VT2 is...

deffo a prototype

at least gameplay wise

[severe folio]

its much more completed than DT

[golden tartan]

Im not gonna comment on the crafting and out of game stuff

but the game itself DT is way more interesting

[fluid knot]

You wana be careful with that talk in this discord, you'll upset some people

[obtuse walrus]

Both are good

[golden tartan]

VT2 is just more polished by virtue of having 5 years to polish

[compact cargo]

It is clear

DARKTIDE NEEDS AN ABYSS BAR

[fading depot]

I disagree with this. VT2 had more content at launch than DT does now

[obtuse walrus]

Fantasy setting is more interesting to me personally

[severe folio]

the plosih VT2 receive could have been seen on DT

[compact cargo]

WHere we can invite pubers to a round of corpse starch and corpse beer

[golden tartan]

VT2 at launch was a buggy mess

[severe folio]

but we seen none of it

[golden tartan]

it was a disaster lol

[fluid knot]

Yes, let me get pissed and play cards with the pals

[obtuse walrus]

[fading depot]

This was definitely not my experience

[severe folio]

So we basically receive the same race as 2 years ago

[compact cargo]

Vt2 was also less playable

[golden tartan]

VT2 launch was a disaster

[compact cargo]

Sir Krueber (haha) ltierally crashed your game for 4 months if he charged

and fatshark was silent for most of the launch "fixing"

[fluid knot]

There are no elves in DT :3

[fading depot]

Were you guys not here for the DT launch?

[obtuse walrus]

[golden tartan]

Yea DT launch was way better than VT2 launch

[severe folio]

not that race

[compact cargo]

The elf:

[fading depot]

It was constant bitching by everyone about the performance

[golden tartan]

DT launch was easily like

[fading depot]

I didn't have issues with either of them

[golden tartan]

1 year VT2

[hushed pike]

I am guessing this is probably not worth buying from Melk?

[obtuse walrus]

DT Launch was ass

[golden tartan]

maybe 2 year VT2

[fading depot]

but people were all complaining

[fluid knot]

I know, but the opportunity was there

and i was gonna take it

[severe folio]

not worth

[bitter escarp]

less actively broken but a lot of shit was just incomplete

[hoary badge]

VT2's launch made me go back to actually playing and finishing VT1

[golden tartan]

DT launch was bad, but VT2 launch was a catastrophe

[severe folio]

im gonna take your mom tonight

[vestal fulcrum]

Ah yes

[wind halo]

Just saw a dude bring Columnus Psyker

[fluid knot]

Hope you brought a shovel

[wind halo]

Spent the whole time just spamming Smite on hordes

[golden tartan]

Also DT's talent system is way better tbh

[wind halo]

Runs out of ammo also

[vestal fulcrum]

VT2 didn’t have a functioning player power system at the very start, did it?

[obtuse walrus]

[wind halo]

Level 200+ btw

[golden tartan]

VT2's talent system is... mostly meh.

[half iron]

amongus psykers or whatever when they

[hushed pike]

What is the best dueling sword for psyker?

[compact cargo]

both

[bitter escarp]

4

Mk 4

[fading depot]

There is a cool gun psyker build

[severe folio]

Comparing VT2 and DT like this

[fading depot]

But there's no point using it if you're a smite build

[bitter escarp]

2 and 5 have glaring deficiencies

[compact cargo]

mk4 has the damage, the others has the movetech

[severe folio]

So then, why can't they apply everything they have learnt with VT2 into DT

[hoary badge]

On the other hand DT innovated enough for me that I can't bring myself back to VT2 despite its rocky launch

[compact cargo]

Different teams

[hushed pike]

movetech?

[compact cargo]

(for the most part)

[golden tartan]

Also different underlying engine

[obtuse walrus]

[fading depot]

I like the gameplay of both but I think the biggest downgrade with DT is the characters

[bitter escarp]

VT2 is still the better narrative experience but DT feels like a slicker game

[compact cargo]

The vertical heavy can be used with slide for a big boost, on the second one you require light into heavy

which is meh

[wind halo]

Zoomers need the slide or bad game

[half iron]

every fps needs that slide

[severe folio]

fukin great

[fading depot]

Customization is cool but it'll never match having the rapport of the 5 named characters

[wind halo]

Sprint + Slide = Innovation

Modern gaming gentleman

[severe folio]

let the team with 2 years experience in this game do something else and let a fresh team start on this almost exactly same model again

[obtuse walrus]

I miss doing parkour to find books

[compact cargo]

Ogryn slide should work like Trepang 2

[bitter escarp]

eh, bit like judo banning moves tbh

[obtuse walrus]

[halcyon creek]

Don’t we have more characters in DT tho?

[golden tartan]

Different engine, different skillset

[half iron]

every fps in the modern era needs a slide. if the “ceiling” is 20m+ add a grapple hook too

[halcyon creek]

3 different characters for each class

[bitter escarp]

artificially restrictive because boomers can't keep up

[halcyon creek]

12 > 5

[severe folio]

so what youre saying is Fatshark in general, didnt apply anything they learn from VT2 into DT

[fading depot]

With no meaningful character interaction because everyone is 'muh OC' that never uses each others names

[golden tartan]

In the back end the coding isnt possible to be the same unless you wanna use the same outdated engine

[compact cargo]

They did for combat and special design

[obtuse walrus]

[fading depot]

It's shallow

[compact cargo]

I do miss blightstormers tho

[west galleon]

Everything is better if you can slide

[fading depot]

what the fuck

[obtuse walrus]

A lot of people talking out the ass in this channel.

[west galleon]

I incorporated that move into my daily routine

[fading depot]

It's the psyker channel

[compact cargo]

Leeches and blighstormers are peak vt2

[hoary badge]

I remember when people were just crying for more vt2 talent trees in this game

[west galleon]

Grab something from the copymachine slide! back to my desk

Ez

[bitter escarp]

they managed to keep hookrat jank

[golden tartan]

Like the entire foundation of the game has to be different because DT is using a lot more modern technologies that simply didnt exist in VT2's days

[half iron]

we also gather around to tell each other stories and share coffee provided by the atoma hive water cartel

[bitter escarp]

in the form of the trapper

[obtuse walrus]

I made lunch

[golden tartan]

Tbf release DT trees were ASS

but the new system deffo is better than VT2

[half iron]

noble ahh loser. that’s not corpse starch.

[bitter escarp]

also DT probably exposes a lot more of the engine limitations, DT's greater verticality messes with sound far more than VT2

[west galleon]

Pls put something underneath, this is giving me anxiety for the textiles

Bon appetit

[severe folio]

great, so we just gonna have the same race like back in VT2

[obtuse walrus]

Nah

[west galleon]

Eeeeee

[golden tartan]

Welcome to having to work on more modern hardware

[severe folio]

that cant be the only reason

[half iron]

i haven’t made myself a proper meal in a few days. i’m too busy eating plasteel tryna produce the coolest force sword known to non-chaos minds

[severe folio]

well, no matter how good of a guess i will never be able to actually know why

all i see is the present

[golden tartan]

Modern hardware -> Modern techniques to take advantage of the hardware -> Modern underlying engines -> New coding method

[severe folio]

and the present could have been better

[golden tartan]

I work with IT research that uses GPUs and its a constantly fluctuating world

future proofing is hard

[obtuse walrus]

It's not even Christmas yet

[golden tartan]

my code today might be obsolete in a year

[compact cargo]

Nerf the trapper
nerf the trapper
nerf the trapper

[severe folio]

its december

[obtuse walrus]

[hoary badge]

We knew the concept of skill trees have been at the back of their minds early on due to datamining

[fading depot]

Skaven slavers were worse

[obtuse walrus]

Just dodge

[half iron]

something new for the collection heheheh

[compact cargo]

The trapper needs a stagger res nerf and the sound to be fixed.

[obtuse walrus]

Just dodge

[golden tartan]

But yea, I really don't like how games nowadays are released on a buggy stat constantly

But

[obtuse walrus]

It's literally that easy

[half iron]

and yeah skaven grabbers were meanieheads

[golden tartan]

The hardware world is accelerating so fast that its kinda hard to keep up

[hoary badge]

Launch skills were placeholders like the crafting system that they for one reason or another could afford to interate upon before launch

[compact cargo]

You cannot dodge if you don't hear here because channel 3 is flooded by specials.

[fading depot]

Too bad game devs only get more corporate and money driven over time, not less

[half iron]

dodge everything, even your volume by turning it to 0%

[obtuse walrus]

People forget that games take super long to develop, but want them out in 2-3 years

[severe folio]

Nobody wants game out in 2-3 years

[obtuse walrus]

[fading depot]

So we lyin

[severe folio]

Im pretty sure everyone have had their fills with 3 years developed game as of now

[golden tartan]

The other problem is if your game takes 5 years to develop, by the time its out its foundations is probably already obsolete.

[hoary badge]

They definitely had more ideas on the crafting system, like blessing skill trees or modifier overclocks that never saw the light of day

[golden tartan]

NVIDIA starts pulling support around the 5 year mark for drivers for old GPUs

[old tendon]

yo is dis ok

[obtuse walrus]

5 years is still pretty short

[fading depot]

yes

[compact cargo]

And the stagger on her vs melee weapons is ridiculous

[severe folio]

obsolete technology

[compact cargo]

pubs, casuals, coomsoomers, do

[half iron]

stub is my favorite staff

[compact cargo]

you saw what happened with the latest 40k ultrasmurf propaganda piece been delayed

[fading depot]

upgrade it and see what perks you get

[golden tartan]

Which is nasty for AAA games cos AAA games usually pride themselves on having top of the line graphics

[severe folio]

so does that mean right now DT is using the latest technology ?

[compact cargo]

people are sending death threats over it's delay

[severe folio]

because they release so early

[old tendon]

unfortunate

[golden tartan]

Welcome to a world of AI driven development

[severe folio]

and they are still updating

[fading depot]

It's the internet though, people send death threats over basically everything

[golden tartan]

for the AI development world, 5 years is an eternity

[hoary badge]

Yet the market speaks otherwise

[compact cargo]

ye but normie devs don't know that

[golden tartan]

and Nvidia's biggest market atm is AI driven/based development

Gamers are now a secondary market

[hoary badge]

Preordering is rampant more now than ever

[golden tartan]

Its why we are getting increasily hilarious overkill cards.

[golden tartan]

Its a fund raising technique developers use now to cut corners and speed things up.

[fading depot]

Overkill for gaming, not for everything else

[golden tartan]

Yep

AI development go brrr

[fading depot]

I want a 3090 for better blender rendering

[golden tartan]

Tbf graphics development is a niche market

even more niche than gaming

[obtuse walrus]

[hoary badge]

And the playerbases still continue to eat it up and encourage the suits to pressure devs into increasingly rushed cycles

[golden tartan]

Ok gaming isnt that niche

its still a massive second place

[fading depot]

and if the devs are morons they listen

[golden tartan]

its just that well, when companies are buying hundreds of GPUs at once for AI development, hard to compete with that

lmao

[fading depot]

but even braindead corporate companies like rockstar and bethesda have only increased their cycles time not shortened

[golden tartan]

And its fucking cheap for their budget

Like 100 GPUs is like the cost of a single annual salary of a skilled software dev

Cos they get special discounts when in bulk

[fading depot]

granted its probably because they just realized its easier to milk their previous games for as much money as possible instead of making new ones

[bitter escarp]

also investors demand safety and profit

[golden tartan]

This

[bitter escarp]

easier to thump on an established franchise than to take risks

[obtuse walrus]

Corporate will see a problem like a Wagon stuck in the mud. The solution would be to add more horses to get it out, but instead corporate decides to add another driver.

[golden tartan]

Also in the gaming industry theres no such thing as too big to fail

Cos game development is extremely expensive, and usually eats up most of the profits from the last game

[severe folio]

depressing outlook

[golden tartan]

And profits come in waves

[obtuse walrus]

Fifa makes its money

[severe folio]

gamer get what they deserve i guess

[obtuse walrus]

[fading depot]

corporatism ruins video games

[hoary badge]

That's because those who don't get their talent squeezed out and lose the IP's and passion projects they worked so hard upon

[fading depot]

it's a nice middle finger when a little 10 dollar game like lethal company ends up more relevant and popular than shit garbage AAA game no# 63

[bitter escarp]

honestly the most fun in games is to be found in the indie scene

[golden tartan]

Its why the biggest gaming companies tend to make repeat runs of the same thing but slightly reskinned with the same fundamental structure over and over and over again

[hoary badge]

See: Fallout, Redfall, Bioware

[obtuse walrus]

Again, the best games seem to come out of nowhere

[bitter escarp]

especially if you're looking for games and not a collection of cutscenes

[severe folio]

fatshark is not indie is it

[fading depot]

no

[bitter escarp]

not any more

[obtuse walrus]

Games that had no intention to do so well

[fading depot]

Tencent has controlling stock in them

[bitter escarp]

mount & blade

dwarf fortress, rimworld, amazing cultivation simulator

[severe folio]

fukin tencent

[blazing echo]

for a lot of series tho the engine is just a vehicle to carry the story and the story is what they want to tell

[bitter escarp]

Tencent's building its investment portfolio rather than trying to fuck with FS lmao

[golden tartan]

A lot of these games also cost very little to make in comparison

[obtuse walrus]

Games from indie or small companies who's outlook is "Would be cool if you bought it... And share it! "

[golden tartan]

Which is why they can take some necessary risks

[fading depot]

if you join the bannerlord discord its full of just as much complaining as this one

[bitter escarp]

also, Tencent can MTX competently and aggressively, e.g. Warframe

[obtuse walrus]

When the game was developed as a hobby for most of its life

The cost to make is relatively low

[severe folio]

what is MTX

[golden tartan]

Yep. But its also frankly a bit of betting your life on it

[bitter escarp]

none of that microtransaction milking expertise is apparent in Darktide

[golden tartan]

Cos theres deffo a lot of "missing wages" there

[fading depot]

what

[severe folio]

thats prob because base warframe already has so much

[golden tartan]

The greatest cost in game development is manpower

[bitter escarp]

skins selling for the prices they do?

[golden tartan]

Wages in the industry are extremely expensive

And its hard to find talent cos of the competition

[fading depot]

except they price skins awkwardly so you have to buy more aquilas than you want

[hoary badge]

That's because the best games stick to niche audiences and an uncompromising vision

[bitter escarp]

yeah that's low tier shit tbh, and it's all cosmetic with no gameplay influence

[obtuse walrus]

We never hear from the hundreds if not thousands of Indie failures.

[fading depot]

for now, tru

[golden tartan]

Most talented software devs do not go to game dev for a reason

[golden tartan]

Yep

[fading depot]

But if VT2 sold new weapons in DLCs, only a matter of time for DT

[bitter escarp]

many of the aggressively monetized games will sell gameplay influencing elements like currency, exclusive weapons and classes, etc

[hoary badge]

They don't make the most profitable games like COD or Fifa unless you struck lightning like BG3

[golden tartan]

Its pure statistics and risk vs reward

[fading depot]

so VT2

[golden tartan]

to get a big hit you need to take big risks

But taking big risks is just that

A big risk

[bitter escarp]

up to a point, if they did it on a really regular cycle

[golden tartan]

you will probably fail more often than not. Or at least run heavily red

[bitter escarp]

$1 for 1000 plasteel! $5 for this new eviscerator!

[fading depot]

the DLCs for VT2 sucked

[golden tartan]

Lets put it this way.

Baldur's Gate, despite being so successful, is actually not that profitable!

[bitter escarp]

shit like Warframe, War Thunder, the World of games

the average spend there is stupidly high

[golden tartan]

After taxes, costs, repayments, etc. the profit margin is probably like.

30%?

On one of the biggest AAA hits in 2020s?

[obtuse walrus]

BG3 probably makes more profit with merch

[fading depot]

baldurs gate budget was 100 mil

So far it's grossed over 200 mil

[obtuse walrus]

Than the game itself

[golden tartan]

They blew the budget

Its more than 100 mil

Then add in corporate tax

Add in steam cut

[lethal minnow]

Uhhh, so i got like all 80% but warp resistance purgatus from melk, what do i do now? I'm scared to give it to hadron

[severe folio]

screen shot

[blazing echo]

you gotta ovary up and do it sometime

[hoary badge]

Without their monetization model we wouldn't have new maps or Chaos Wastes

[golden tartan]

id be shocked if the current net profit after all expenditures and taxes and loan repaymentswas more than 30 mil

• Maintenance costs arent cheap either

[hoary badge]

When they made Drachenfels they explicitly did it behind the trail of the the new Emporium

[west galleon]

Corporations created videogames

[fading depot]

We got like what, 5, 6 new maps in 5 years ?

I'm not counting old maps that have been ported over

[west galleon]

Why are people being choosy beggars

[hoary badge]

Why not?

[fading depot]

Nerds with passion created video games

[hoary badge]

They have new layouts, new challenges and new assets

[fading depot]

Corporations corporatized them

[west galleon]

No they created 8bit shit

[chrome patrol]

i mean whats your option putting it on the wall and never upgrade it?

[west galleon]

The money made that stuff popular

[chrome patrol]

your only option is to upgrade it

[fading depot]

The best selling game in the entire world is Minecraft, genius

[west galleon]

So?

Who's behind that

[fading depot]

So that was made by ONE GUY

[bitter escarp]

you ever read an opinion so fractally wrong that you just block someone immediately

[west galleon]

Yea and then he sold and the money came rolling in

[lethal minnow]

It will be in another language, and actually sorry, there is one stat with 79%, still can share if you want

[fading depot]

Do you know how much he sold it for?

[obtuse walrus]

Then again, making an IP suddenly much more popular is worth its weight in gold. And Larian Studios have gained newfound reputation/fame as a very good studio (making future investment easier). So there's that as an added bonus

[west galleon]

No, thats also beside the point but do tell lion

[severe folio]

share

[lethal minnow]

One can believe for craft rework

[bitter escarp]

they've had a solid track record, but nothing on the order of BG for sure

[obtuse walrus]

Even if the game is not that profitable

[hoary badge]

It was popular before it was sold, not after

[obtuse walrus]

They still gain

[fading depot]

Minecraft made hundreds of millions of dollars BEFORE notch sold it, it was worth so much money that Microsoft bought it from him for 2.5 billion dollars

[chrome patrol]

yea maybe but maybe not

[golden tartan]

Tbf Larian is known for their reliability in quality products. And when they fuck up, they fix it.

[severe folio]

good luck with hadron

[golden tartan]

What Larian isnt known for is making a lot of money

[fading depot]

It does not take a corporation to make a successful or popular game

[obtuse walrus]

As I said, it only increased

[fading depot]

It DOES take a corporation to ruin it, though, which is why the Minecraft fandom hates the Mojang devs now

[severe folio]

does that mean youre just beggar ?

and not choosy ?

[golden tartan]

Cos its not publically traded and the person in charge prides themselves more on delivering quality than profit

[chrome patrol]

tbh i would upgrade it. i would take a chance rather than waiting fatshark doing something

[lethal minnow]

I am actually first time crafting and using purgatus. Which perks are good on it? For blessings i think Warp Flurry and Warp nexus would be fine, right?

[fading depot]

bro came in like

[severe folio]

perks maniac, flak, blessing warp flurry, warp nexus

[bitter escarp]

it takes that kind of ideological stance to have a company capable of bucking current trends, and even then it's hard to say BG didn't tap into the nostalgia of an old franchise

[wind halo]

Going public for a game company = going into the shithole

[west galleon]

Essentially yes

[lethal minnow]

Alright there goes nothing

[cunning yew]

I like it when the chat room went from constant arguing about Assail to arguing about game monetization model, truhly a #psyker-class moment

[west galleon]

As are you and everyone who isnt involved outside of throwing money at a company

[severe folio]

you dont belong anywhere but the street

[quasi junco]

Nothing wrong with cosmetic stores, the game isnt pay 2 win

[bitter escarp]

incomparable minds schizoposting

[wind halo]

Both are worthy of rage

[west galleon]

What got you upset lil buddy?

[severe folio]

literally, what kind of fukin age are you in you buy game and call yourself beggar

[golden tartan]

It also helps the CEO is also literally a software developer with nearly 30 years of experience in the field

[fading depot]

The funniest part to me is that smite has always been better

[obtuse walrus]

Anyways, time to play Kingdom Come Deliverance

[west galleon]

I mean if the options are take it or leave it? No sense getting upset lil guy

[severe folio]

this is not upset, but if this little remark makes you feel threatened, i can do like your parents and stay steer away from you

[west galleon]

Lmao

Okay

[hoary badge]

Nexus 4 is a priority on the purg, anything else you can leave stopgaps on

[west galleon]

Surely not upset, rather the opposite huh

[wind halo]

So I tried DD Surge, worked better than Warp Siphon thats for sure

[severe folio]

probably because DD give more buff than Warp Siphon

[wind halo]

I wonder when they gonna get rid of Warp Siphon getting rid of all charges when you ult

[golden tartan]

Iirc BG3 was also a dangerous bet that could have bankrupted the company

[severe folio]

prob never

[bitter escarp]

hard baked in the least popular class skill option

[bitter escarp]

aye, the level of investment was definitely unprecedented for them

[fading depot]

I use warp siphon smite

for longer smiting

It works well

[lethal minnow]

RIP (Nexus lvl3, Run'n'gun, Carapace lvl3, running efficency lvl3)

[severe folio]

well that was a crazy ending to grawr's analyze conversation

[fading depot]

Jesus

The level 3 staff

[bitter escarp]

I like the idea of smite a lot more than I do playing it

[severe folio]

i think its borked

[bitter escarp]

I don't know how people don't fall asleep

[quasi junco]

smite only good for quick CC when your team is getting overwhelmed

people who constantly use it are bad

[fading depot]

wrong

[severe folio]

people who use the wrong tool at the right time are bad

[fading depot]

I crip walk through auric maelstroms keeping every mob on the map frozen in place for my team to execute. I play in windowed at like 1400 x 900 resolution and watch House on amazon prime while I do it

[west galleon]

Also was that it? You didnt refute anything except throw some childish inslults?
Surely that's not all you can share here

[lethal minnow]

Me omw to waste another 500k on melk for decent staff to just get it trashed on hadron

[bitter escarp]

eh bad is overstating it but they always fukin reacharound to pat themselves on the back for the hard CC

when sometimes having another person just swinging would be more helpful

[fading depot]

Damn right I do

[quasi junco]

if you are constantly having to use smite either the game director hates you, or your teammates really need that CC to do anything

[severe folio]

i dont want to imagine how long that auric is

[bitter escarp]

if there's no ragers on screen

[fading depot]

With smite and a surge staff you don't even need a melee

I just have a shitty knife so I can manuever around more

[bitter escarp]

big reason I play this game is for the slick melee

[fading depot]

Lots of elites / hordes? Smite. Not a lot? Surge

It's EZ clap

[severe folio]

that sound simple to the point of vague

[fading depot]

Faster than failing 3 times in a row because your knife zealots can't dodge a crusher overhead

[wind halo]

Ahh one of those Smite griefers, classic

[fading depot]

Playing the game is griefing now ?

lmfao

[severe folio]

thats not even in the same category

[fading depot]

It's just that easy

[severe folio]

what he said was basically people who use the wrong tool at the wrong time are bad player and theres nothing wrong with what he said

[fading depot]

Using smite all the time isn't that bad though

I don't personally do it because I like go fast

But it still works

[severe folio]

and i dont believe you never had a moment where you smite everything but nothing die because your team made a flaw decision

[fading depot]

Bosses are the primary weakness

[severe folio]

maybe you always use your tool at the right time

[fading depot]

If your three teammates can't handle a boss even when you're keeping all the trash off them, you're toast

[orchid nest]

it's safe but it does slow the game down a lot and makes it annoying for team mates that have to solve a puzzle to kill a horde instead of being able to cleave effectively

[severe folio]

but that doesnt mean the bad moment doesnt exist for everyone, the kind that no one have control

and again, its still a pretty slow game

[fading depot]

Never really an issue, the hordes already come in in clumps

[severe folio]

i rather switch game 3 time than staying in 1 game for the same duration of 2 games

because the 4th game will be faster

[fading depot]

My fastest mission was a 13 minute hab dreyko damnation with smite because they could do the objectives while I taze everything

[bitter escarp]

tbf if you hard locking everything that's not the boss, this is a team skill issue

[severe folio]

and i will feel much better than having to drag my feet through the mud

[fading depot]

It happens

[severe folio]

so again

[fading depot]

Smite psyker is a support build, the speed of the match is reliant on your team

It's not that slow

[severe folio]

wrong tool at wrong time isnt the wisest decision

[bitter escarp]

it's rarely just one thing that fucks up people who have some experience, it's juggling multiple elements

[orchid nest]

Its not an issue in the sense that it's dangerous for your team or something but a heavy sword zealot is going to be pretty annoyed that he can't cleave them as fast

[fluid knot]

Smite is giga-ass and nothing anyone has ever said or shown has changed my mind about that tbh

[severe folio]

havent you seen the latest trailer where fatshark smite that mutant

[quasi junco]

using smite to help ppl scan and use data interragators is good use

[bitter escarp]

people fixating on a boss and getting clapped by the mixed horde

[fading depot]

Definitely not my experience, my teammates always rush up for the free hordes of enemies to kill because they're just giant clumps stuck in place

[severe folio]

well its def our experience

and our experience are pretty real

yours real too

but that doesnt mean ours isnt

[orchid nest]

I guess I will have to agree to disagree. they often naturally clump up less if you just don't bother with timing it right

[wet belfry]

I find it faulty to judge ourselves as understanding what our weapons actually do.

[fading depot]

It's also unnecessary

[wet belfry]

Teammates likely have a better clue since they are unbiased.

[fading depot]

Because smite will kill all the poxwalkers

[bitter escarp]

this is why people gotta play all the classes

[fading depot]

It's better for them to just focus on the specials and elites instead

[bitter escarp]

smite plus fire shout is aight if slow

[fading depot]

I've maxed out every class and psyker is not even my favorite to play, just my main because smite makes the game a lot easier

I'd much rather be one-shotting bosses with my thunder hammer zealot, but then we die to the crowds of ragers or maulers

[bitter escarp]

I ended up trying smite on gun psyker

[fluid knot]

So i think we have our answer here, Smite is designed for users suffering skill issues

[severe folio]

i think so

too

[fading depot]

It sounds like you're having skill issues using it if your smite matches are taking so long

[severe folio]

no my smite match are actually pretty fast

[bitter escarp]

smite also patches team skill issues

[severe folio]

because ijust dont smite everything all the time

[fluid knot]

They're not tho, because i choose to kill things instead of making myself a prop

[fading depot]

This is what I'm saying

[severe folio]

well then youre startingto play to prevent failure

[fading depot]

I can be great at the game but that doesn't mean I can always hard-carry three people

[bitter escarp]

if you don't trust them to hit anything not inanimate you turn it inanimate

[severe folio]

and that kind of failsafe build

is too slow

and not a good answer to most things

sure, its failproof

but that doesnt mean its not a redundancy

[fading depot]

Well congrats for you, it's a shame I don't have three of you every game then so I don't need to run smite

[severe folio]

it could have been better but you didnt choose the better because you were afraid of failure, or that you have met too many failure

[bitter escarp]

yea the correct way is to not need the redundancy, but that's also an answer operating in a vacuum

[orchid nest]

Yeah I'm on the opposite end. it's a great safety net but I stopped taking it because the situations I actually needed to smite instead of just speeding things up was pretty small

[fluid knot]

Its not even that tbh, it encourages your team to do stupid shit and position themselves in terrible places, so when Smite invevitably goes down, they'll fold near instantly

[bitter escarp]

being dogmatically devoted to one extreme is a bit unhinged

[severe folio]

nah, it wont encourage them, its the same arguement as loner aura encourage separate zealot

[fluid knot]

The gameplay effect is much more substantial

[fading depot]

This is a joke. They ALREADY do stupid shit and position terribly

The whole benefit of smite is that i stop them from dying for it

[fluid knot]

Like you can take it an watch the effects Smite has on gameplay, its incredibly evident after a few games

[severe folio]

it is more substantial than loner aura, but to be honest counting 10 game, 100 game, i dont think its a big difference

[bitter escarp]

smite is opt-out organ donation

[quartz barn]

Ye smite is cool and all but id rather just instanuke everything myself than wait for teammates to do it

[bitter escarp]

people gonna take the lowest effort stance, may as well operate around that assumption

[quartz barn]

• obligatory feeling of psyker superiority

[fading depot]

And this gung ho glass cannon playstyle works great if you have good teammates to back you up when something you can't handle alone comes up

[quartz barn]

Nah just get good enough to glass canon without backup

[fading depot]

But my experience playing psyker has pushed me towards smite because you can't always rely on others

[quartz barn]

Not too hard if you dodge effectively

[lethal minnow]

Ugh, so i didn't get so lucky again, if you don't mind can you please tell me stat priority for purgatus so i have some idea for what to aim at?

[fading depot]

Sounds great if the situation is ideal

[severe folio]

you want high burn and radius, 80 radius, at least 76 burn, the rest are fine

[fading depot]

But when you've got a horde, 7 shock troop specialists, and anywhere from 10-15 crushers/maulers/ragers, it's not that easy

[lethal minnow]

Alright, thank you

[severe folio]

the warp resist and quell speed are dump, but damage can be your dump stat for purg too

[fading depot]

Maybe if I was a literal walking god of the game I could always do that on my own, or I could just press one button and hold it all in place and let my team handle it

[bitter escarp]

damage matters a bit for LMB puffs and the soulblaze ticks, but it makes so little diff it won't meaningfully change outcomes

[fading depot]

I'm not saying I always run smite, it's definitely more boring than any other build, but if I'm not feeling the bullshit and I just want to win some matches? Smite is always what I pick with

[quartz barn]

Its the psyker chat, everyone here is a walking god

[bitter escarp]

I tend to pick ogryn then

[fluid knot]

Damage beats CC, every day of the week, you dont have to do it all yourself, but clear will be much faster and smoother if you actually apply some damage rather than making yourself a bit of the scenery

[mighty fractal]

wtf why is the ketchup touching the mash

absolute cretin

[severe folio]

and even if you are not a literal god thats just fine

what matter is to eventually relief your crutch and being able to try out other alternatives as you are able to use them

[fading depot]

Definitely disagree. My teammates don't have to worry about dodging or blocking, they can just focus on damage output and clear everything. The difference in damage output is negligible at best

[bitter escarp]

CC can be hella clutch, but people shouldn't CC bot when damage is the correct answer

[orchid nest]

I would almost always rather have or be a blaze trauma user instead to be honest. Can still CC well enough and cover team mates. a smiter does make things easy for sure though. if the user could only manage to do that instead of something more skill based too because of their skill I can't fault them for it. or if they are just feeling lazy.

[fluid knot]

If you think Smite does damage, i dont know what to tell you mate

[fading depot]

and as far as smite running out, my build is wrath + warp siphon specifically so I can run smite as long as possible

[fluid knot]

Because uhh.. its terrible for damage

[fading depot]

I don't think you read what I said

[fluid knot]

You're contributing effectively no damage

4 players damage beats 3

Its that simple

[fading depot]

Because everything is CCd, my teammates are doing more damage because they can focus on damage dealing rather than any survivability

[severe folio]

hes doing the vent shriek smite

[fluid knot]

Still pretty dire, just bring Purga

[fading depot]

Also, smite + soulblaze wipes out lesser enemies in droves easily

[glossy ember]

my problem with smite is there's some inconsistancy in what it catches when there's too many targets. Often enough I see a poxwalker just wakling for free, or one popping behind me, forcing me to release anyway

[fading depot]

I do the most damage and get the most kills in almost every game I play

[severe folio]

well Lion

[quartz barn]

Ye wait just run purg or trauma if you want cc

[severe folio]

then you dont play often enough

[fluid knot]

If you're Smiting every horde, i find that exceptionally difficult to beleive

[severe folio]

that everytime you play you only receive bad players

[bitter escarp]

mans got a strat for corralling potatoes

[quartz barn]

No you can cc every horde, its just not enough on A/ AM

[bitter escarp]

works for him

[quartz barn]

Because youll always need people to deal with the special spam

[fading depot]

171 hours in the last two weeks

if thats not often enough i dont know what is

[bitter escarp]

you ok there, that's more than full time work

[fading depot]

Since the class overhaul I've put in about 400 hours

[fluid knot]

Correct

[wet belfry]

Just running venting shriek could give up to 300k damage

[fading depot]

no

[wet belfry]

I dont see it being to unreasonable that its possible to top damage.

[fluid knot]

It'll work in normal Damnation, its a cakewalk, not in A/AM

[wet belfry]

Though that speaks more about venting shriek then smite.

[fading depot]

You're really underestimating soulblaze

[fading depot]

^ he is right

I blaze everything, which also allows me to keep smiting longer, blaze kills a lot, which gives me charges, which also allows me to smite longer

[mighty fractal]

i think the point is that there are better soulblaze applicators

[fluid knot]

No, I'm not, you could deal far more damage just by running Purga/Shriek, you know Purga, that flamerthrower with inifinite cleave

[fading depot]

I do mountains of damage in an ALMOST infinite feedback loop

[bitter escarp]

why don't you two just hop into games with each other

[fading depot]

Yes, but I can't control nearly as well

[fluid knot]

Then thats something you need to work on

[fading depot]

No, that's a gameplay limitation of not running smite

[fluid knot]

Spicy tip, Purga LMB staggers basically everything

[mighty fractal]

you only need to channel smite for a little bit to shut down the horde and the elites/specials inside of it

[fading depot]

Not around corners and at multiple angles, and not nearly as long

[lethal minnow]

Is that normal that 5th time in a row hadron gives me first perk as Running efficency on staff?

[fluid knot]

It doesnt need to be for long, it actually puts out enough damage that you can move forward without being a prop

[severe folio]

most of my purga run i press out 500k damage in a low intensity

[glossy ember]

bad luck

[fading depot]

I'm not saying you can't put out more damage with other things

I'm saying you're wrong in assuming you can't do good damage with a smite build

I prefer the smite build because I can still clear out hordes and do good damage, but I'm more useful for the team overall, especially in emergencies (and in auric damnation, you run into a lot of emergencies)

[fluid knot]

Im not assuming you cant do some damage, but you're not topping damage, or relevant kills with it, unless your team is actually braindead

[fading depot]

I have though, maybe you can say my teammates were all bad sure, but I think you're just incorrect

But that's really the point, aint it? Even if my teammates are bad, I can get them through the mission either way

[fluid knot]

Good for you, I've played Smite/Shriek and there are a LOT of other options

[fading depot]

and I've played them

[fluid knot]

Which do nearly everything, better

[fading depot]

I've just found that to not be the case

So we just disagree

[fluid knot]

Again, not since they nerfed the infinite Smite

[severe folio]

i have to ask though

[fluid knot]

You can build for all the contingencies you like, but you cant build for stupid

[fading depot]

I think you don't really know how long you can actually keep smite up

[severe folio]

what do you mean by not controlling the flame staff well

[fading depot]

It's near infinite if your build is right

[fluid knot]

It is not, no

[fading depot]

I guess I'm just wrong, having been using it so much for the last month and seeing it for myself

The guy who doesnt even like the build knows more about it than me, who uses it every day

[fluid knot]

I just think you're coping in standard Damnation tbh

[orchid nest]

you definitely can top damage with mediocre team mates but it's also because you stop them in column and then shriek them, stopping your team from cleaving them as effectively and then using your ability that is great at cleaving in a cone. they are still dead at the end of the day but yeah, I would have rather had a purg or trauma user

[fading depot]

I haven't dipped out of auric damns since I stopped grinding hab dreykos

[fluid knot]

If that was the case, you would be less wiling to effectively be making yourself a bot

[summer prairie]

Smite is without a doubt the strongest psyker blitz and one of the strongest blitzes in the game

[fading depot]

That's what I'm telling these nerds

[summer prairie]

but you only use it a few times a run

[fading depot]

They don't believe me

[lethal minnow]

So i lost 800k coins but got something remotely decent, i have Warp flurry lvl4, Warp nexus Lvl3, Locked Maniac lvl4 and Unarmored lvl3. I have the option to change only one thing, so what's best: Change Warp to Lvl4 or change Unarmored to Flak?

[fading depot]

You use it a lot on hi-intensity shocks

But outside of the hordes you surge

[severe folio]

its not that we dont believe the result of your game

[fading depot]

I'm just thinking you're playing with bad smite psykers honestly

[severe folio]

its just that we know you are limiting your options down to safety and justifying them because they give the least failure

[fluid knot]

Loool

[summer prairie]

You lock everything down regardless of the # of threats, it's not even hard to grasp

[silk hawk]

unarmored to flak

[fading depot]

I have four builds for psyker, it's not that I don't have the options, it's just that smite has from my play experience given me the best results, like you said the 'least failure'

[orchid nest]

yeah I don't think it isn't strong either. it's just boring and I'd rather have another dps and lose one now and then rather than whack-a-mole. and have a little faster rounds on average. I'm not gonna queue dodge a smiter or anything though, just preference

[mighty fractal]

now DOUBLE purg + smite psykers... that's when you queue dodge

[severe folio]

unarmored to flak

[mighty fractal]

[fading depot]

This I can agree with, nothing's more annoying as a smite psyker than getting ANOTHER smite psyker, then I switch to burst or assail

[lethal minnow]

Thank you guys very much for help

[fading depot]

There's no real situation where you'd ever need two smite psykers

[mighty fractal]

I love it when I'm the only sniping option on the team

[severe folio]

you have other options but you have narrow down for yourself

[summer prairie]

it doesn't matter if there are two smite psykers if they both have creeping flames

[fading depot]

I don't really like gun psyker

One of the things I like about psyker is not having to worry about ammo or grenades whatsoever

[severe folio]

you shouldnt feel like you have to do so because of youe teammate

[fading depot]

I played gun psyker four times and I got flamed by veterans twice 💀

[severe folio]

i notice every point come down to “but my teammate will fail”

[fading depot]

they want their ammo

[severe folio]

that shouldnt be why you settle to smite

[fading depot]

Not wanting to compete with teammates isnt hte same as saying they'll fail

[cosmic sigil]

i had vets feeding me ammo as a gun psyker

and i was like, no, bolter, ogryns first

[severe folio]

compensate with teammate, prevent them from failing, not really different

[cosmic sigil]

i'll go after

[fading depot]

My friend didn't mind because he could see just how much damage it did

Not all vets are created equal

[severe folio]

if you are compensating youe teammate then unfortunately most of the time you are overcompensate

because not every run is a failure and you could be allowed to do so much more

[fading depot]

I also just enjoy using the blitz lol

[severe folio]

well I also enjoy the purgatus but even I know its not the brightest flame next to voidstrike

[orchid nest]

I don't even really use much ammo as gunker to be honest, except I'll ammo dump a monstrosity. mainly because I know I can still be alright and not take everyones ammo. if they say anything negative to begin with they'll stop when you mark ammo for them instead of taking it.

[runic siren]

Jo what perks for purgation staff?

[severe folio]

same as smite have its use but not the brightest thing next to other things

[silk hawk]

last game with a void/smite/EP, been chilling almost whole game

that is a such stress less build Xd

[mighty fractal]

smite can help your team get out of a bad jam when a million ragers/maulers show up with some muties and trappers

though in that case

I'd rather just run Trauma

[severe folio]

how long is that game

[fading depot]

They won't listen, but it helps that you got pictures

[mighty fractal]

(which is what I do)

[runic siren]

What perks for the purgation staff? Unarmoured good?

[silk hawk]

37 min, u can see it in the left column

[severe folio]

maniac flak

[severe folio]

too long

[wet belfry]

COULD BE HIGHER

[orchid nest]

yeah I'm the same basically. would rather have or be trauma.

[wet belfry]

What are you a casual?

[silk hawk]

well, it is what it is, shock troop gauntlets its not where u can rush too much XD

[wet belfry]

only 870k in like 40 minutes as psyker?

Gotta work on them numbers man. BIG REAL ESTATE requires it.

[silk hawk]

... erm... okay.

[severe folio]

idk what hes talking about

[wet belfry]

Im coping over veteran.

[mighty fractal]

35-40min is fairly common on histg/mael

There a mod that give you any weapon you want in psk?

[severe folio]

yeah there is

its call loadout config

[untold niche]

Thanks bossman

[plucky flax]

What's good damage per minute sire?

[lethal minnow]

I wonder what are good curio perks for Assail Shriek psyker? Something like Ability Regen/Gunner res/(Something else?)

[severe folio]

just the usual curios

the codex pinned in the channel should have info about psyker curio

[wet belfry]

Big numbers

Preferably more then 6 zeroes

[untold niche]

With EP might as well run revolvo

[silk hawk]

u mean 1kk + xD?

[untold niche]

That's one million

[silk hawk]

i am almost sure that i saw 1kk+ dmg done only in true duo/solo runs...well, at least most of the time

[plucky flax]

Last game I played

[untold niche]

Wait why not just type 1m instead of 1kk

[plucky flax]

Oh you can get 1 mil easily in melee maelstrom.

In the pysch I've heard someone mention a single chain can hit 6, but distance is unknown

[lethal lagoon]

What's your weapons?

And general build

[hushed pike]

Laspistol force sword gonna go for smite with middle keystone. :p

And bubble shield

[lethal lagoon]

Laspistol? Neither lmao.

[hushed pike]

I have to pick one

[lethal lagoon]

why, cause you want battle med?

[hushed pike]

I do want battle med yes

[lethal lagoon]

Then on quell probably

It syncs with battle med

[hushed pike]

Oh good point

[patent hatch]

Use revolver instead, more battle meddy and better idk

[hushed pike]

I want laspistol.

I don't wish to use revolver on literally every char. :/

[frail sand]

you cannot escape the revolvo

[patent hatch]

copium

[hushed pike]

I only use it on my zealot.

[frail sand]

[hushed pike]

And that's until the new revolver comes out.

Cause I use the current one the way that the new one is meant to be used.

can i vent my frustration on psykers not taking the ammo crate in damna like it's not thei business ffs?

[zenith zealot]

no

[plucky flax]

I don't use ammo it's not my problem.

[glossy ember]

gonna try this instead of pc

11k damage from PC

when i have tons of elite/special kills

[cosmic sigil]

[plucky flax]

[zenith zealot]

true to thy name, kindred

[cunning yew]

Those damn veterans want psykers to carry the ammo box, yet cannot carry the burden of warp on their shoulders

[wind halo]

I take it then drop it in some hidden corner so nobody refills

[lethal minnow]

I want to share my drip too! How do you think can i change something here?

[glossy ember]

wait for fatshark to fix ur baldness

[cunning yew]

Baldshark

[lethal minnow]

But why lol i like it, looks kinda badass/edgy

[glossy ember]

i used the exact same fashion but blue variant

[steel sluice]

Depends on what you have and what you want to do

[glossy ember]

it just ain't the same without hair...

[lethal minnow]

Well i really like Gas masks, and armor, thicc armor. Even on psyker

[steel sluice]

If it was still around I’d recommend the death korps set, was rocking that till the new set dropped

[ornate hamlet]

Why couldn't I get this setup on the equipped stats D:

[fading depot]

I'm an impartial judge

kek

[lethal minnow]

I checked korps set, not thicc enough, this headpiece stands out of the set for too much

[steel sluice]

Hmm, not sure how you’d get more bulk than that on psyker atm.

[fading depot]

Man is drippin

I went for like

An agent look

[untold spindle]

crit dmg is 💀

[crimson zealot]

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/s/KluCTmWqra This is hilarious

[lethal minnow]

That one is nice!

[steel sluice]

Mine I just put together some nice stuff that blends well with the whole gun psyker style.

Feels like someone that’d be on the front with the guardsmen

[fading depot]

I like it cus Psyker doesn't have a lot of sets that are just like

Clothes

I felt like I was a fuckin astronaut

[untold niche]

What do I do on a mixed horde?
Void -> shriek -> smite
Or
Smite -> shriek -> smite

Am running crit void build

[lethal minnow]

Actually the most unique and best drip in games comes from combining things from different sets. It is often really hard to combine them nicely, but when you find that one combo it feels so good

[steel sluice]

Unload the machine gun, wait wrong class

[steel sluice]

Too true with psyker. The chest pieces and collars having different colors is the bane of my existence

[torpid breach]

I just go with the moebian set for now, wanna get that top with the cape but god damn the collar hurts me just looking at it

[severe folio]

thicker legs

[lethal minnow]

There is a mod called 'For the drip', that locally can change the colors/textures of different pieces of armor. But it is local so ony you can see that and cry that something similar is not in the game. Atleast some color schemes with set colors would improve the game cosmetic aspect for a lot, like A LOT. Maybe it is possible that obesefish would add it if enough players would ask for it, after all this would motivate people to buy more stuff from ventures

[fading depot]

Agreed, that's what I did

[cunning yew]

Maybe one day, cardiac arrest submarine animal will add some mods into vanilla, one can hope

[lethal minnow]

I was thinking about it, but i just couldn't find anything thicker WITH armor, there is an option for thick cloth legs, or this one

[hasty kraken]

This, is a shit penance.

[fading depot]

Y?

[hasty kraken]

Because its hard to maintain charges due to everyone just killing elites like there is no tommorow.

[fading depot]

My advice is to go for a shock troop mission

[torpid breach]

It is a shit penance indeed, you need that node where teammate elite kill also gives you a charge and play on missions with fucktons of specials and elites

[hasty kraken]

Im trying to get that penance while also getting "Headburst enemies while at max charges"

[fading depot]

It's only your elite kills

It isn't too hard

[hasty kraken]

Sure, headburst with almost no cast time reduction, sure pal.

[torpid breach]

What do you mean, the enhancement wouldnt count?

[fading depot]

The node only gives u charges for elite kills you get

Not teammates elite kills

[torpid breach]

Oh, i got it mixed up then

[hasty kraken]

I think they meant this, no?

[fading depot]

Yeah don't do that one

[summer prairie]

a 25minute maelstorm in quickplay with 708 total damage taken overall (as in all players)

[torpid breach]

Yea i did get it mixed up it seems

[fading depot]

For the penance go elites

Hop into an auric maelstrom

No shortage of gunners and bulllshit to pop

[zenith zealot]

actually alot easier as long as u dont use your ability in a damnation mission

warp charges fall off one by one now, i did this shxt when warp charges vanish all together

just make sure u bring psychic vampire

[fading depot]

💀 fr

No aurics either

[torpid breach]

To be fair, if your team has turbo chaff clearer then that 4% miiiight have a chance to pop

[zenith zealot]

it pops

alot more than you expect it to

dont even need turbo chaff clear

turbo chaff clear would shorten the duration of your max warp charge

killing chaff at average speed drags out the duration the most

[dusty girder]

https://gyazo.com/dcbf66a9d20cc4053191e8b425f9f817 hello, should I change both perks to carapace + maniac? using this with a surge staff + assail

[zenith zealot]

its just a matter of not using your ability honestly

that's your biggest obstacle

[torpid breach]

True, id imagine i have to stop myself from popping shriek

[zenith zealot]

think getting shred 4 + 5% crit chance MAY be better

dont really need to give this maniac dmg

only maniac u'll have trouble with is ragers

and this weapon doesnt scream "rager killer" no matter what

carapace is worthy of consideration tho

[dusty girder]

yeah I usually use the staff / assail for most enemies, but the sword helps against crushers

maybe even unyielding to get some boss damage, I really don't know psyker enough

[zenith zealot]

unyielding is probably fine, but its definitely alot safer to just zap em to death with your surge staff

also try to get in the habit of heavy attack + special attack as the main combo for taking down crushers

if u can do it fast enough its basically a rapid double stab that staggers crusher, if both hit weakspot means u double stack uncanny

[ornate hamlet]

Just ya basic Psy murdering hordes

[dusty girder]

good to know thanks! a friend advised against it, so I wasn't doing it at all. I'll try out it

[zenith zealot]

idk why your friend would do that as there's no time lag between stabs, and u can instantly go for another heavy

plus stacking uncanny purely from heavy is slower than doing it this way

[ornate hamlet]

Should I do Auric sectors today?

[zenith zealot]

idk, im always doing auric as long as i have a team that's willing to do auric

would probably advice against jumping into it with a random team tho

[ornate hamlet]

I've sadly never had a team

[glossy ember]

just pug it

[ornate hamlet]

I just do Rando's cause meme's

Some how we do win

[zenith zealot]

never tried the discord vc?

[glossy ember]

pugging is fine

and fun

[torpid breach]

Pugging is for people who like the chaos

[zenith zealot]

do u my friend

[fading depot]

You can pug

The chaos is fun

[zenith zealot]

as long as i win through the chaos and get all the mats

[fading depot]

In the words of Sienna, go new places, make new friends, little one

[ornate hamlet]

AURIC MISSIONS A HO

[zenith zealot]

back so soon?

[fading depot]

I fucking love auric missions RAAAAAAH

[zenith zealot]

making friends didnt go well did it?

[fading depot]

So glad we didn't have to wait as long as we had to wait for Cataclysm in VT2

I like a game that will just fucking kill me

Still tho

Give us difficulty 6 and call it Armageddon 😈

[fluid knot]

gotta be really careful with that

[fading depot]

I haven't tried it, I just pug

[fluid knot]

A number of times i've joined lobbies in here an asked is everyone auric capable and people will just outright lie and say yes, expecting you to carry them

[fading depot]

I did it for GTFO though, you straight up cannot play GTFO with the matchmaking

[zenith zealot]

that'd be auric maelstrom

[fluid knot]

Exterminatus would be more fitting given the universe its set in

[zenith zealot]

wanna run some games together 🙂

[fading depot]

Also tru

[quasi junco]

Most people probably can’t define being Auric capable

[fading depot]

Good point

[fluid knot]

Am having lunch at the minute mate

[fading depot]

Wym I am Auric capable I just did a heresy low intensity auric this morning I am pro

[frigid zenith]

Auric capable = Able to not get dunked by hordes and not stopping to kill every melee horde thing around. Sometimes you just have to kite shit to the next area.

[summer prairie]

the game already has settings (hp/mass adjustments etc) for the sixth difficulty, though that has been the case for ages

[fading depot]

I'm with you on this, I'm a fucking smite psyker and people linger behind for so long

I gotta wait on people to catch up

[fluid knot]

Thats the really annoying bit about pugs of late, though its starting to calm down a bit now. Few weeks after update were nothin but fresh level 30s infesting A.Damn/A.Mael

[fading depot]

Preach it

My buddy has fallen to open toxicity in game chat now because of it

[fluid knot]

Can't say i blame him, though its not my style, its particularly aggravating after a week solid with barely seeing a player above level 40

[frigid zenith]

I admit, I've had some choice words for people in-game.

[fluid knot]

A few times, sure that can be fun having to hyper-carry, but my fucking god it gets tiring doing it all the time

[fading depot]

I don't do it either, I just silently judge

[untold niche]

wait kite stuff to next area isnt that dangeroos

[quasi junco]

Lol I just leave lobbies if I see someone rocking blue gear in Auric
