psyker-class

[haughty star]

and that's your opinion lol

not fact

[upper sun]

why should i care about anything if i can just jump through a portal and change it back

no its fact

soulless and bland

[ornate hamlet]

People don't go to restaurants that make tasteless slop, but somehow it's strange to executives that people want the same with games?

[bold cape]

im sorry if my opinion is widely accepted as fact that bethesda games for the last decade have been absolutely awful

i dont mind if people like it
but they’re shit
there are good games that i dont personally like, and that’s ok
but bethesda games are just awful

[haughty star]

sorry but someone that openly states they think f04 is one of their best titles immediatly has a lower opinion lol

[bold cape]

i never said that lmao

morrowind is peak bethesda, downhill ever since.

[haughty star]

Ah yes, i too enjoy reading my games

[upper sun]

the only hope we have is todd's son hes a massive ES nerd

[haughty star]

and 3 voice actors

[bold cape]

yes, i do enjoy having an attention span

[haughty star]

and apparently not having your own opinion lol

some liked star field, some don't. you're not right because you didn't like it, i'm not right or wrong because i did

[bold cape]

but since this has turned into a pointless argument instead of a constructive discussion, i shall make my peace and leave

and for the record im not saying you can’t like it
im just saying that it’s bad, and extremely bland, and the same exact carbon copy formula they’ve been using for 15 years.

[upper sun]

JAMIE PULL UP THE REVIEWS

[haughty star]

idk what else you expected dude. bethesda makes bethesda games lmao

you were one of the aforementioned densies that expected bethesda not to.. be bethesda lol

[upper sun]

back in my day things were better

[bold cape]

and bethesda games are games that are worth $5, not full price AAA titles

[haughty star]

TO YOU

your opinion is not CORRECT

[bold cape]

i am sorry you have paid $60 for skyrim 1.2

[haughty star]

that's why it's an OPINION

[upper sun]

doesnt look that great

[bold cape]

still better than ow2

[upper sun]

eh were old now we dont need more than one good game a year

[sturdy pasture]

Ok I figured out a pyro build first the AOE burning ability then the other one next brain burst and the big warp shout with the burning effect with the fire staff and if you want to get spicy add the weapon boost that gives bleed on special attack for melee

[upper sun]

space marines should hold us off until witcher 4

[bold cape]

witcher 4…

[haughty star]

really we're not the best judges on what's good or not. thats DT

[upper sun]

DT sucks

[bold cape]

darktide is deservedly mixed.

[upper sun]

this whole argument started because we were hating on it

[bold cape]

great game with awful rng crafting, slow updates, and overpriced reskin cosmetics

in short, mixed.

[upper sun]

Ill leave a positive review once they fix the crafting tbh

[bold cape]

ive left a positive saying its good on sale, great while leveling and not interacting with the crafting but afterwards not so much

[haughty star]

also the reviews on starfield are skewed rn because everyone's on the hate train about curated mods. also if you search by query most of the bad reviews on starfield is it isn't Spacey enough. literally idiots thinking it wasn't gonna be a bethesda RPG lol

expecting no man's sky or star citizen with story out of bethesda is absolute brain rot

personally i was mindblown i even had a ship that i could fly at all

[bold cape]

i dont think anybody expected that
nobody expected something huge out of bethesda
i think people expected a decent game

being shown to be able to create a ship and customize it only to not even fly it anywhere is pretty misleading to me

[haughty star]

that^

right there

there's the brain rot lol

[bold cape]

the one thing bethesda is decent at is making game worlds, and starfield is just procedurally generated slop

skyrim is pretty
starfield, is empty

[haughty star]

you expected a game company that historically HAS NEVER HAD VEHICLES to give you any sort of vehicular freedom lol

[bold cape]

i mean, it’s a space game. it’s kind of one of the core components.

[haughty star]

not when bethesda makes it. see i was right. unrealistic expectations

[bold cape]

…lmao

[haughty star]

the other stuff is just malding cuz people like it

[bold cape]

“it’s okay it’s shit because it’s made by bethesda”

[haughty star]

glad we could get to the bottom of this together

you expected bethesda to not be bethesda lol.

it's like expecting rockstar to make a FPS Deathmatch style game, or activision to make a bethesda style game

[bold cape]

is it a problem to expect a half decent game that’s priced at the same point as something like wild hunt?

[haughty star]

witcher was ass IMO

the whole ass series

[bold cape]

checks out

[frail harness]

It's funny to come here and see Starfield discussion. I just finished this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UOhCjB0AEI

[haughty star]

i mean i wouldn't expect CD ProjeKT REKT to make a horde shooter or revolutionize the game industry

[hushed heart]

Psykers out here astral projecting their discussions to other games

[bold cape]

except they did, tw3 set a golden standard for rpgs, is one of the highest rated games on steam, and one of the most awarded in history
but that’s ok

[haughty star]

if starfield had more nudity itd be higher ratings

gamers are perverts. anything with titties does well

[bold cape]

right
that’s definitely it

[haughty star]

look at conan, terrible survival game, popular for a brief time cuz titties

[bold cape]

a mature game where you see a pair of tits a few times, incredible
definitely wasn’t the story, characters, quest design, world, none of that
yen’s tits is what got all of its awards

praise the unicorn

[haughty star]

i'd rather play through 12 rinse and repeat bethesda titles before playing through cyberpunk or witcher 3 one more time

they're terrible games. and guess what? that's my opinion. you just tend to follow the crowd lol

[bold cape]

follow the crowd lmao

this has been super entertaining
so thank you

now i must sleep
er dlc tomorrow, am happy.

[haughty star]

the entire dark souls genre is ass too

and he calls bethesda rinse and repeat

[bold cape]

you go guy
got all the cool contrarian opinions today :3

[haughty star]

not neccesarily contrarian, just not what the internet told me they should be :}

[bold cape]

i grew up with souls and the witcher thanks to my amazing father who still kicks my ass in fighting games in his late 50s
and i wouldnt have it any other way

@lethal lagoon just something fun to read if ya want

[restive ice]

https://tenor.com/view/among-us-amonger-twerk-among-twerk-bread-gif-21872598

[ornate hamlet]

I'mma be honest, Skyrim porn is kinda boring

[haughty star]

I've never partaken tbh

[ornate hamlet]

My beef with Souls is the "git gud" community it cultivated where you can't find any flaws in the game without being told you're finding excuses to be bad at the game

what did i open the chat to

[haughty star]

before darktide i've just never been a fan of the whole parry timing a frame mechanic nonsense lol

[ornate hamlet]

"Game perfect, shut up" communities give me nausea

[haughty star]

this game forced me to GG at melee stuff and i barely like this game

[upper galleon]

Souls community is like the most backasswards elitist community

Like you have to do everything optimally but also you can’t use X builds cause those are cheese and don’t count

It’s like TF2 MvM

[haughty star]

honestly this community can be just as bad lol

i guess i've never delved into the souls community tho cuz as stated i just don't like games like that. i really hate games that implement things to be frustrating for the sake of being frustrating lol

[ornate hamlet]

saw an mvm steam guide made by TRVE mvm jesus on how you MUST play the game and what you MUST not do or you will get kicked

[haughty star]

and i especially hated like dodge and parry hack and slash style games. didn't like the combat system in the witcher series {any of them} and i especially didn't like the combat system in DS

[ornate hamlet]

dark souls is hella mid

[haughty star]

it took me like 100 hours or so to start liking darktide even

[ornate hamlet]

sekiro is peak tho

so is lies of p

lies of p is like if dark souls was actually good

[upper galleon]

Man if it ain’t fun in 2 hours i’m refunding it

[haughty star]

i played it because a couple of the bois were having fun with it

i did drop it after like 10 hrs until the skill tree dropped tho cuz it just felt like a really terrible borderlands

[upper galleon]

Idk if it’s still up but there was an mvm blacklist website where the people had bots and shit ruin your games if they ran into you. They’d use a bot to perma join/leave the lobby so you can’t continue or start

[haughty star]

Borderlines 3 was peak for lootershooter horde games imo

but only if you actually delved into the endgame of it

[ornate hamlet]

thats actually insane wtf

[upper galleon]

And the reasons varied from slurs to hacking to being in the same lobby as a suspected hacker and not votekicking with the person

To using some “cheese weapons”

Mainly pyro

Cause phlog dropping was a legit strat but it was just too good but also not good enough compared to the standard meta

[haughty star]

I'm actually honestly convinced anyone that loves endgame darktide would love engame bl3. unless you're just super in it for the hack and slash aspect

[ornate hamlet]

if you steal MY kills with gass passer i WILL fucking bomb your whole neighbourhood

[upper galleon]

[ornate hamlet]

i never rly got into mvm tho, as far as pve experiences go its super niche and gets boring incredibly fast

i was a chronic jump main

19k tempus soldier points

[upper galleon]

I got mvm

Got a professional killstreak

stopped

[ornate hamlet]

which weapon

[upper galleon]

I sold it on the market (nessie’s nine iron)

[ornate hamlet]

nice

[upper galleon]

I forgot what i bought probably total warhammer dlc

[upper sun]

guys my insomnia paid off

[split lance]

why does it look like this

[upper sun]

shit we forgot to tell you?

[split lance]

YEA

[upper sun]

https://accounts.atoma.cloud/dashboard

you can see brunts rotation without running the game from here

[split lance]

WAIT

[upper sun]

dont get too hooked on it tho

[split lance]

EVERYONE HAS THE SAME BRUNT

[upper sun]

no

[split lance]

oh

[upper sun]

you can see ur brunt

[split lance]

ooooo

yea okay

im special

[split lance]

i cant find it

[upper sun]

did you log into the website?

[split lance]

yues

[upper sun]

what error are you getitng

[split lance]

this all i see

[upper sun]

nothing next to that?

[split lance]

my acc details and user preferences

[upper sun]

you have it on steam right?

i gotta try to sleep but i would say it has to be the platform you own the game on

[split lance]

yes

[upper sun]

if its steam itll redirect you there make sure you're logged into the correct account if you own mroe than one

[split lance]

i did

[upper sun]

hpmf idk

[fading patrol]

Did you install the browser addon?

[narrow herald]

i got a bad feeling about this

[restive ice]

daddy needs you

[narrow herald]

dam we already lost

[restive ice]

[narrow herald]

ogryns lit didn't do anything when they got shot

just stood there

MENINSINGLY

[split lance]

no

[fading patrol]

Then youll get nothing shown like above
I forgot the exact name but its something in the lines od 'darktide armory'

[potent echo]

What is this new fancy

[narrow herald]

idk, i switched back to scoreboard

it looks nice but I prefer to have all the information at once

[feral knoll]

As someone used to using Illisi sword for panic moments and being surrounded by hordes. What weapons go with Deimos to compliment it. I feel like if I have a horde around me point blank fighting back with it is ass

[analog agate]

Trauma/smite/purg

[feral knoll]

Well I don’t use trauma much so time to try that now then

Why Purg? Does it stagger well?

[spice veldt]

lmb will stagger all non-ogryn enemies

and cuz it's a flamethrower that'll annihilate dense packs of human enemies

[narrow herald]

best perks on deimos?

[potent echo]

Uncanny + whatever

I use unstable cause it's reliable

[narrow herald]

not blessings

perks

[potent echo]

Maybe cara/unyielding/elites

[narrow herald]

do yall prefer shield or vent on purge?

[supple dock]

Shield

By far

Vent does nothing for purg

[ionic sorrel]

Gosh, both could be fun. I have vent on my purge build. But I can see having walls to block choke points and just burning everything.

[supple dock]

Spread fire? Do that. Lower peril? No need it's really low

Shield allows you to make up for the lack of range for it too

I personally think the shield is mid af BUT it does well with purg

[narrow herald]

omg i thought i was insane

im like "isn't vent overkill?"

[supple dock]

Yeah it does nothing you don't already do which makes it pointless

[ionic sorrel]

Blast a dog off someone through a wall. 🤷‍♀️

[supple dock]

Yeah, and that's super useful, but the other factors are bigger

Vent just doesn't bring any new tools when you use purg

[ionic sorrel]

Hmm, maybe it's time I switch my purge build to shield.

[supple dock]

Stagger? AoE clear? Good peril management? All there

[narrow herald]

no the issue I had, was that if there are any ranged enemies, I'm kinda "ok time to use BB for half the match"

[spice veldt]

doesn't hurt to have more with vent

[near wyvern]

What the actual ...

With flame shout you can push stacks over the max cap of your staff, very useful for monstrosity damage

[spice veldt]

it's not like it's entirely redundant since it's not like weapons where their usage is mutually exclusive

since using vent is just a press of a button and is non-interrupting

[potent echo]

Also vent solves a wall of shooters behind cover

You know the maps where this is an issue

[narrow herald]

ok i figured it out everyone

Scrier's for Purge

🚶🏻🎤

[potent echo]

[narrow herald]

the #1 GamesLantern Build told me so

[split lance]

ur blaze build has caused me to sewer slide bomb a lot

but also to kill a lot

[supple dock]

I didn't consider it for monstrosity damage but I'd rather use a DS4 for that

I just feel like Shield just works better with purg than vent

[haughty star]

it's beautiful

[supple dock]

yes, but I am a sucker for milking every last ounce of utility and options I can get my hands on

[restive ice]

https://tenor.com/view/pog-poggers-milk-milkers-melk-gif-21314517

[split lance]

anyone got a venting shriek trauma blaze build

:)

[near wyvern]

Start with the purgatus build from Atheneum and just swap the staff to blaze Trauma, the build works for both

[haughty star]

is there any point to the special on the ds4?

[spice veldt]

stagger

it'll stagger any non-boss enemy

including bulwarks, crushers, reapers, etc.

very nice against bulwarks and reapers in particular

[lyric burrow]

staggers reapers mid run too

if your covering someone

reapers tf

mutants

[potent echo]

Reapers too

Mid run-ning away

[spice veldt]

mfing reapers sprinting away as i attempt to shank them

[ornate hamlet]

Heavy > special loop against ragers is poggers

[rigid sky]

I think it's faster than a double heavy for killing some targets

Some things get left with a sliver of health left after the first heavy

[marble crater]

Devblog today?

[hardy raft]

https://tenor.com/view/elevator-gif-18484135

[potent echo]

#🐦tweets-sermons message

The devblog

[marble crater]

At least we didn't already know there was an elevator on that map, or did we?

[potent echo]

Is there a single map without an elevator

Carnival...?

[marble crater]

Aegis Station

[potent echo]

Huh they actually are maps without elevators

[marble crater]

Aegis doesn't have an airlook either, sucks if you have a speedrunner on the map, because they can actually just finish the mid and end event while you have to fight all the enemies they leave behind

[supple dock]

Enclavum barros too

[marble crater]

That's the actual map name, no? Aegis being the end event because I couldn't think of the name

Or is it the one in the other direction?

[clever basalt]

and Chasm Logistratum

[median sorrel]

how white people are made

[late sapphire]

aegis station is the baross end event yeah

[marble crater]

Nice, maybe one day I will remember maps by their names instead of events. I should know them with how much I play this game

[supple dock]

uhh. it's the one with the skylink bridge activation and you gotta sit and wait and then it's pretty much a straight shot to the end with no breaks

[rigid sky]

Vote to kick, and if your team doesn't vote yes then find another team tbh

[marble crater]

The one where I always spam trauma at the enemies climbing up one of the ledges

[marble crater]

I just block them, them and toxic players

[quartz barn]

I have only seen 1 kick ever, because we were with 3, the other person was my duo

Every other time the kick didnt go through because pubs either dont know how to vote or because they rather play it out for no reason

[brazen rampart]

I've vote kicked people that were playing really really badly to the point that they were either griefing/trolling before.

Who takes medicae when they are missing a quarter of their hp and the rest of the team is on death's door?

[quartz barn]

This honestly depends on your perspective

[brazen rampart]

Anywho, sour milk gave me a deimos fs with precog and shred 3, 20% maniac, 1.5 stamina, and basically perfect stats.

What to do with it..?

Obviously I figure ditch the stamina perk but what else?

[rigid sky]

You still gotta try

[quartz barn]

Ye but i can only start the vote once

[rigid sky]

every time one of those cretins gets vote kicked successfully, their morale drops a little bit and they become a little bit more likely to quit playing the game

since we can't just commissar them

[rigid sky]

I would ditch shred too

for uncanny

[brazen rampart]

Genuinely fatshark could put in a system for reporting people so they get stuck with other bad players.

You want to grief and troll? You get lobbies with only people that do that.

[quartz barn]

That requires a massive database

[brazen rampart]

Didn't know that it could get uncanny, but that works great for the deimos moveset. Basically a thrusting sword with a useful special at that point.

[brazen rampart]

I promise they are capable, the question is, will they put their heads down and do it?

[quartz barn]

Capable in which timeframe?

Not to mention that this gives little to no value

You're asking them to build a report system that categorizes people based on performance and actively alters matchmaking

[rigid sky]

Ultimately there's nothing in the ToS against using the zealot kit like that anyway

I don't think it'd be right for Fatshark to create sanctions against it

we've got to be more proactive as a community about it.

I might start giving instructions on how to do or respond to a vote kick in the mourningstar in between missions maybe

[brazen rampart]

This deimos is sick now, I can push crushers on the ground just by hitting them and do some nasty damage with it.

[brazen rampart]

Just pulled a graia autogun with dumdum and fire frenzy 3, all stats except ammo at 80%.

Well, mobility is 78%, but I don't think that really matters that much.

[wind spruce]

Siblings

I've been mainlining so much copium about psykers getting shotguns that I dreamt it was confirmed in a dev blog

Devastating to wake up from that

That being said

ONLY FIVE DAYS UNTIL PSYKER GETS SHOTGUNS

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[dull osprey]

hope is the first step on the road of disappointment

[wind spruce]

It's not hope.

It's fact

[marble crater]

One thing you really have to like about Bungie is that they have a long blog post every single week

[upper sun]

Yes BUT have they made anything good since reach?

[marble crater]

Destiny and Destiny 2 were both great at some point and still have some of the best gunplay ever

Gameplay wise they are great games

[wind spruce]

Destiny had amazing gunplay

[upper sun]

yeah tru

[wind spruce]

Like incredible

[upper sun]

i enjoyed destiny 2 a lot

[wind spruce]

And the early raids were good

[upper sun]

but no way in hell im paying that much for it

[wind spruce]

I never played destiny 2

I saw a bundle the other other for hundreds of dollarydoos

Wtf is that

[marble crater]

Yeah me neither, too expensive to start playing now

[upper sun]

its really nice but very expensive and content you buy gets vaulted every season so you have to pay like 100--50 every season

[marble crater]

All the different DLCs you kind of need to play the game, it sucks

[quartz barn]

Getting destiny now is not worth it

[wind spruce]

That's incredibly lame

[quartz barn]

Been on the declinw for a while now

[marble crater]

Vaulted because the game is getting too big

[quartz barn]

Source: i have 4-5k hours

No the source was an engine update

[marble crater]

And fuck you if you start now and want to experience the full story

[quartz barn]

Seasonal stuff leaving is wack tho

[upper sun]

you can buy some dlcs off keysites for a bit cheaper

[quartz barn]

The full story started 10 years ago with destiny 1

[upper sun]

but yeah like sut said its too late

[supple dock]

just youtube a lore video like a human being while you mindlessly grind D2

[quartz barn]

Why would you ever do that

[upper sun]

grinding it was not even that bad from what i remember

[supple dock]

because of this

[upper sun]

you got cash for skill upgrades VERY quick

[quartz barn]

Yes and a lot of stuff got retconned

[upper sun]

weapon drops kept me changing weapons

[quartz barn]

Or has no implication for the story atm

[supple dock]

yes, good to have someone who has put in the leg work to decipher what's relevant and what isn't

because that is a LOT of bloat to sort through

[upper sun]

i really liked camping high level areas and waiting for other players to kill stuff i shot 5 bullets at

y-yes game i totally killed that thing

give loot thx

if they unlock all the content and put old stuff for a resonable price id buy it

[quartz barn]

On cdkeys the legacy pack was €80 afaik

Which is 3 campaigns afaik

Doesnt include dungeons

[upper sun]

its g2a is a lot cheaper

[marble crater]

Why pay 80 for 3 campaigns when you can buy a few outfits for your psyker instead

[upper sun]

[brazen rampart]

I bit the bullet and reinstalled destiny 2... seems like bungie might've pulled their head out of their ass? I'm still skeptical. If they would allow us to work on previous seasons to get all their items, that would be a huge step towards getting their fan base back. FOMO sucks.

[upper sun]

🫡

tell us if its good

[marble crater]

Doesn't look good for a devblog today huh?

[upper sun]

didnt we get the last one after the patch?

[marble crater]

I don't know, just give me a devblog

[upper sun]

bruh no one is playing

cant get a regular damnation mission going

[marble crater]

Nobody is regular damnation then I guess, play auric

[radiant frigate]

non-auric damnation? why bother

[upper sun]

its too hot i cant think straight i just wanted to play something easier to to do weeklies 😭

[marble crater]

Play sedation

With all the others doing weeklies

[upper sun]

i need dimantine 😭 😭

[jovial juniper]

Karnak Twins on their way to become mats farm

[radiant frigate]

force greatsword when?

[upper sun]

imagine sedation twins

you could farm greys so hard

[jovial juniper]

There are no greys without sport

[upper sun]

issue is if you play uprising you can get greens or blues with TRASH perks

[radiant frigate]

i still don't know if psyker is good for anything on twins

certainly not twins damage

[upper sun]

this is where agent would disagree and post gameplay with 90% melee damage to "prove that psyker is good for twins"

[hearty oak]

I'm hoping the first descendant will be good despite it coming from nexon

Cause destiny 2 is fucked for new and returning players

[brazen rampart]

Well, I played a lot of d2.

Like I was on track to attempt a day 1 raid.

[marble crater]

Killing everything that's not the twins maybe

[brazen rampart]

I just quit because bungie wanted to release boring shite and I couldn't be bothered to continue, on top of being banned from the server I was in because I criticized someone for using a machine gun for riven dps.

Quite depressing, really.

[quartz barn]

Comparison, ive done 5 day 1s

[brazen rampart]

Oof. Man has some playtime under his belt.

I just played heavily since witch queen.

[quartz barn]

Actually 7

[brazen rampart]

I remember one of my friends, who I now have blocked for various reasons, wanted me to play titan for guardian games.

[quartz barn]

From dsc to se now

[brazen rampart]

I vividly remember abusing bounties in nightfalls to get a palindrome.

[quartz barn]

Didnt clear all of them obv, i got 3 of them

Includes contest challenge kings fall

[hearty oak]

I stopped after the dream city and their writers brought back whats-his-name despite the whole dlc being for chasing and killing the man. Then suddenly comes back as a fucking guardian? Shitcanned the game immediately

[brazen rampart]

Yeah...

I really, really don't like Crow.

Hopefully he dies valiantly or something so I can stop seeing him.

I also hate the entirety of Neomuna.

[quartz barn]

Destiny has the problem of cool universe but shit story in game

[brazen rampart]

Lightfall was such utter garbage it's not even funny.

The only good part was giving me Strand.

[quartz barn]

Lf gameplay was good, but too focussed on learning strand

[brazen rampart]

Strand in crucible for hunter is really disgusting because I can use a wave frame into powered melee and instakill you.

[quartz barn]

Story was extremely predictable

Also incomplete lmao

[brazen rampart]

If you are touching the ground, you die.

[quartz barn]

You can wave frame regular melee anyway?

Or prefire into smg rush

[brazen rampart]

No I mean like, I can kill you from any distance instantly.

It's really nasty and you can get multikills.

[quartz barn]

Fair enough

[brazen rampart]

My baby that was still in my hunter's hands when I last was on.

[quartz barn]

Used to be top 7% and have plenty of friends who sell carries so playstyles like this get dunked on

[upper sun]

good numbers

[brazen rampart]

Yeah it's a big meme, I'd rather just use a shotgun.

Imperial Decree and that one last wish hand cannon were what I was rocking last time I played Trials.

Was using Liar's Handshake because titans are apes and don't realize that they can't instakill me with charges.

[quartz barn]

I could outsnipe cheaters because i got conditioned by season 10

[brazen rampart]

I wish I was good at sniping.

[quartz barn]

No point now

[brazen rampart]

I grinded out getting cloudstrike for the purpose of learning how.

[quartz barn]

Giga flinch my beloved

[brazen rampart]

Yeah, EP hand cannons sent my view directly to the sky.

My palindrome god rolls.

I really miss the fun I had with this game.

[thorn cedar]

i forgot that starting psyker gets a fukken laspistol and dclaw

yeesh

[quartz barn]

You get a laspistol now?

When i started it was a revolver

[thorn cedar]

that would've been the beta iirc

[untold niche]

sound like alot of games/media

like people say dark souls lore good

but in game its

eh

[brazen rampart]

Destiny has an issue with trying to lean to heavily towards a younger audience.

If they embraced a more grimdark approach, they would have made a much better universe.

Take a look at the Forsaken expansion, we literally watched Uldren put a bullet in Cayde. No offscreen death, no big explosion, straight up murder.

It was... personal.

He actually had a hand in dealing the deathblow.

You look at how Holiday bit the dust, though, and it's just empty.

There was no feeling to it.

It's like she was just written off.

[hearty oak]

The worse dclaw. The laspistol is nice though

I'd say the mk1 auto is not bad either for general usage. Then again once you get assail, the leveling becomes easy. Then you get a dueling sword and now you become MVP in low levels

[rigid sky]

It's still the discount veteran style of gunker, rather than the "Chad that veteran wishes he was"

[ripe obsidian]

Well, this is confusing.

[marble crater]

Only if you look at the code

[rigid sky]

disgustingly resilient

[hearty oak]

Makes you wonder how FS navigates this

[ripe obsidian]

Based on the lack of released content, very slowly.

[spice veldt]

not very good apparently, given the description bugs that have occurred

[hearty oak]

And no other game thats released right now is able to compete with darktides gameplay for me so im just kind of coping stuck with what we have

[spice veldt]

there are also some straight up misspellings in the code

[ripe obsidian]

Ayup. The gameplay of Darktide hits just right for me. I waited until after the talent rework to even buy it, and now it's my go-to game.

I just wish it had more support. Or even communication. Stuff like DRG or Helldivers being the primary points of comparison

[hearty oak]

After the summer
And here i was stocking up on my dockets for no reason

[ripe obsidian]

My only regret is that I didn't get the free aquilas because I waited too long. Alas.

[ripe obsidian]

Hey look. Communication.

[analog agate]

Haha, thinking it was less than a week away to now multiple months away

[bold cape]

wait what’s happening

[analog agate]

Itemization slated for “after summer”

[bold cape]

yo holy shit? time to drop the game

[analog agate]

So, October probably

[bold cape]

jokes aside im probably going to put the game down about a week after the update, after experiencing the little bit of content we are receiving

[upper sun]

hell yeah

i can grind in peace until it comes out

[ripe obsidian]

It's incredible how Fatshark managed to fumble what should've been a slam dunk of a game. Massive existing fanbase for the IP, decades of lore and design to go off of...

[bold cape]

yeah darktide had the chance of becoming something big like hd2, a real sensation; not to mention a real opportunity to truly bring warhammer into the mainstream

darktide isn’t going to “die”, the -tide niche community isn’t going anywhere
but the shot at something more was missed

there’s so many good games one could play that i could not be assed to play casino games anymore

[ripe obsidian]

Imagine if they allowed modding like L4D2. Allow the community to make maps.

[bold cape]

still waiting for the next l4d2 of coop horde games, darktide could’ve been it

[marble crater]

Oh shit, actually a devblog still

[ripe obsidian]

Seems like HD2 is kinda filling that niche. Consistent 50k+ players on Steam for the past month

[bold cape]

gameplay is great but not great enough to warrant being fucked by rng, no gameplay is worth that
destiny has the best fps gameplay ive ever seen, but i bailed after the first year of the second game cause well, you know

[ripe obsidian]

Hell, even L4D2 has a consistent 20-25k players

[lyric burrow]

Honestly dt gameplay is enough for me to put up with rng

[bold cape]

l4d2 receives no updates, has no progression, etc
and yet still somehow manages to beat out dt on steam by about 400%

goes to show that good game trumps all else

[bold cape]

yeah, hd2 is really good
taking a break from it tho, whole balance drama really tired me out from it

id like it more if i could run it without an anticheat on my pc, though
i bought it on my ps because of it, but sadly it does not run or look all that great lmao

[quartz barn]

this is the main reason why people (including me) say dark souls 2 is good

because its the only game that expands on the hollowing, which is a big lore thing in ds 1 but not really a gameplay thing

[ripe obsidian]

That's the reason I don't have it. I didn't feel like dealing with anticheat nonsense.

[bold cape]

im one of the few people who enjoy ds lore
it doesn’t have a crazy narrative that sticks with you or makes you cry like a more traditional rpg, but the fan theories and all that is just really awesome

[quartz barn]

although dark souls heavily emphasizes on environmental storytelling

[ripe obsidian]

Gonna disagree with you on the "few" part. VaatiVidya, who does FromSoft lore breakdowns, has 3m subscribers:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Vaatividya

[bold cape]

yeah kernel level access anticheats are everywhere, but that isn’t the problem for me
my problem is the fact that out of all the well known, more trustworthy ones they could use, they chose some obscure one that’s primarily used for gacha korean mmos that nobody has heard about
(also has a notorious security history)

[bold cape]

fair enough
definitely not few, more like 50/50 on whether people think ds lore is shit or not in my experience lmao

and even then people have run into cheaters, albeit rarely
it’s like, you don’t need an anticheat for that kind of game
darktide doesn’t have one, and ive met 0 cheaters in >200hrs
well, obvious ones anyway lmao

[dull osprey]

mods bro

[ripe obsidian]

DS lore is interesting. I enjoy that these games take place after the big events. You're like... an archaeologist uncovering the ruins of the past.

[analog agate]

I have seen 2 cheaters in darktide.

[ripe obsidian]

There was a video about it, I think by Yahtzee Croshaw, where he discusses the merits of storytelling from different perspectives. Like, during, before, and after. I can't find it now.

[dense silo]

guys how do i get 1.5 milion coins to get the cool armor

[bold cape]

i also like how you’re just some guy lmao
like yes, you’re the chosen undead, but you’re also just a random undead of no renown prior to the game’s events

[marble crater]

Play enough with coin bonus on curios

[bold cape]

i also really enjoy the cycle of the world just dying as gwyn and his followers clutch onto fire, slowly killing the world
and especially in ds3 it’s just fucked

[ripe obsidian]

Might've been a VaatiVidya video essay where he posited that the age of darkness was really the age of humanity. Not sure. But I like that theory. Moving away from the age of gods and magic into one of mortals

[bold cape]

i love the vibe in the gael fight
just two random people fighting over nothing in a wasteland of ash at the end of the world

[bold cape]

yep, age of fire is the age of the gods and the age of dark is the age of humanity

tho neither is exactly all good
i personally prefer to not link the fire as to let the world cycle naturally instead of trying to clutch onto what’s inevitably going to die out

[ripe obsidian]

FromSoft is one of few studios that, in my opinion, really makes use of the medium of video games to tell stories

Another example being Disco Elysium

[bold cape]

disco elysium is an incredible game

[ripe obsidian]

A vast majority of games, particularly AAA, are just interactive movies. There is nothing in the narrative unique to games, and it could be told just as well in a book or in a theater

But things like Dark Souls or Disco Elysium really let you explore and learn and grow at your pace, and they allow you to miss things, to come to imperfect conclusions

[bold cape]

agreed, that’s a good way to put it

[ripe obsidian]

Disco Elysium is my favorite game. I have the Hideous Necktie on my shelf.

[untold niche]

wtf discord skipped messages

[bold cape]

i watched my bf play some of it, im gonna play it myself pretty soon i think
i just have so many games on my backburner to get through

gonna be playing bg3 after shadow of the erdtree

[ripe obsidian]

As do I. Games from Humble Monthly or things I got on Steam sales. But after work, gym, music lessons, etc., I often don't have the energy for games that require thought

So I play mindless stuff like Darktide instead of games like BG3 or Disco Elysium or Elden Ring

[bold cape]

totally fair

ive been playing a lot of drg for that reason

fun gameplay, friendly randoms, always a good time

[ripe obsidian]

I got kinda burnt out on DRG after a while. I should go back and try out season 5

[bold cape]

yeah it’s not as replayable as darktide imo, but it’s still quite fun

season 5 is great

[analog agate]

DRG is still the same. New mission type is ok. The big thing is new unmodded haz 5+

[bold cape]

new mission and enemies are great, new cosmetics are good, new event is really neat
and oh man the new overclocks are awesome

[analog agate]

I can’t seem to get the nee cryocannon one. Sticky flames adjacent. Makes me sad

[bold cape]

minigun one is prolly my favorite

never did like the minigun much but this oc makes it a blast to use

driller and gunner really eating good with the ocs
tho the pump action for engi is a lot of fun too

[edgy heart]

ok so how strong/weak is gun psyker compared to staff

[analog agate]

Depending on how it is built. Probably stronger. But only if you aren’t limited on ammo.

[supple dock]

the bird flu? Yeah....they tend to do that

[narrow herald]

hello chat

[supple dock]

stronger by some arbitrary percentage like.. 10% stronger

in terms of just raw damage? I guess? To single target at least

nothing will beat blazing trauma for hordes though

[narrow herald]

yeah seeing myself half health a plague ogryn with one clip of a collumnus does make me splurge in my pants 😔

But soo does me landing a double shot crit with the void into a shotgunner horde

🤔

Or me doing an empowered smite and getting a 25 vent

🤔

Or me using the purge in a hallway and watching the entire horde melt

🤔

[bold cape]

make 5 builds
one gun, 1 for each staff
have different melee weapons, blitzes and abilities for all 5 so all feel unique and play differently from one another

...or at least thats what id do if the game would actually give me decent weapons

[rigid sky]

It's just different tbh

Your raw power is through the fucking roof

But you have no real battlefield control beyond being the god of death

[finite sigil]

any reccomendation for early game psyker?

i just feel so weak compared to veteran players

[marble crater]

Yes, use Assail

[finite sigil]

i do but what weapon

or do i do JUST assail

[supple dock]

g u n

unironically

staves suck ass while leveling

[marble crater]

Just assail should work fine in lower difficulty while leveling, staves either unlock late or are bad with low stats, so use a gun instead and maybe Illisi for melee, not sure when that unlocks

[supple dock]

equip dagger, equip assasil, win until 30

[marble crater]

You know a lot about psyker, for a zealot main

[supple dock]

then lose every gam after because auric maelstrom is hard and I will not tolerate any naysaying on that

[marble crater]

Nay

[supple dock]

https://tenor.com/bz8lX.gif

[near wyvern]

Any gun. As soon as you can get your Illisi force sword, especially with Slaughterer on it, use that and your gun all the way up to 20-25lvl

And Assails ofc

Duelling sword 4 also works

For melee

[finite sigil]

theres like

5 guns

and over 10 swords

game doesnt even TRY to tell you what the difference is

[supple dock]

but realistically? Try all the weapons that seem neat, the suggestions we have are just that, suggestions, not to mention you may just end up liking one of the more "mid" options for weapons, but in the hands of someone who enjoys something they'll do better at it

there's very few options that are just bad in this game, and psyker probably has the least amount of it period

[marble crater]

Test with the rewards you get after missions, doesn't matter too much in the early levels

[supple dock]

like the most horrible thing I can think of for psyker is the obscurous, the recon, and the axes

and even then? they're fine

[bold cape]

use whatever you think is fun
anything below damnation, everything is viable

[supple dock]

Yeah, take what we say with a grain of salt as most of us are used to playing on Damnation/Auric/Maelstrom

[finite sigil]

i mean

considering i cant completel a t3 mission

[supple dock]

So fun/useful/good weapons won't really matter until that point

so use whatever your heart desires really

[stiff falcon]

Some dude was saying the recon wasn’t ass

[finite sigil]

so... i just "earned" a bunch of blessings from the weapons i wasnt using

and I dont have them?? like i try to rebless and none of it works

[stiff falcon]

On which weapons

[supple dock]

if you're dedicated enough you can work it but like

you need to be above the average bar of skill

[finite sigil]

uh... all of them?

is it weapons specific?!

[stiff falcon]

Yeah

[supple dock]

every weapon type has its own blessings

[finite sigil]

bro

[supple dock]

i think some weapons are even separated by mark

[finite sigil]

so if i take a bunch of weapons off of a dagger, i cant put them onto a different sword

[supple dock]

nope

you can put them on another dagger

of that same mark

[stiff falcon]

Give brutal to the knife

Pls

FatShark

[supple dock]

there are some exceptions like the force swords and stuff

[finite sigil]

thats horrible

[bold cape]

i wouldnt bother with crafting until you finish leveling
its a complete pain in the ass but luckily it's totally unnecessary until lv30

[supple dock]

I believe they all share blessings

[narrow herald]

average itemization moment, we have been feeling this pain for over a year now 😔

[stiff falcon]

fix in september

maybe

[split lance]

most kills ive ever got but i also blew up and died like 6 times

[untold niche]

aim to not blow up

because honestly you really shouldn't be blowing up

[split lance]

https://tenor.com/view/my-goodness-what-an-idea-why-didnt-i-facepalm-the-simpsons-gif-17489109

jokes aside

every first game i get on

i blow up

[untold niche]

for me i use void so what i do is before every shot consciously look at my peril

i would rather have a teammate do slightly less damage than down 6 times

in a5mael/a5histg, 1 down means likelyhood of failing go up

[split lance]

i use trauma, sometimes when theres a huge horde i just look down and boom

and im bad

skissue

[untold niche]

exactly, sincey ou are going to die to horde anyway, why not just spend 0.2 second to look at the peril to make it a habit

[split lance]

i do

just always the first game one

lmao

[marble crater]

[marble crater]

All the staves don't share blessings by the way, because they are different weapon families

[finite sigil]

how do you see this menu

[split lance]

mod

[finite sigil]

....

so you need mods

to see basic stats

[split lance]

yes

[finite sigil]

this game is so fucking done bro XD

audio issues for 8 months, players need 3rd party mods for basic stuff

basic info*

[marble crater]

You don't really need this info to play the game, I have been playing for 8 months without ever seeing that and I am doing just fine

[split lance]

i just like to see numbers that make me feel better for blowing up 9 times

its cope

[ripe obsidian]

I really need to get better at headshotting with Voidstrike

[marble crater]

10%?

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah

A lot of times I'm too focused on not dying and just throwing things out randomly

Headshotting is my weakness on every class, and in every game I've ever played

[marble crater]

Sounds like a position problem

[ripe obsidian]

I mean, probably

I play Zealot and melee Veteran the most

And melee Ogryn

[marble crater]

Yeah you can't play Voidstrike like those

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, it doesn't work so well

Though the only damage I really took was from blowing myself up once when I thought I had shriek up

[marble crater]

How do you play with the other staves?

[ripe obsidian]

I haven't played trauma, but Purgatus I try to position in front of a horde and burn them all, or BB distant elite or carapace things, or stab them in the face with the duelling sword if they're close enough.

Surge, I spam RMB and shriek whenever it's up

So far I have been having success in Auric Damnation with these strategies

[marble crater]

And with them you are not focusing too much on not dying I guess

[ripe obsidian]

More with surge than purg

Purg I can just spam LMB if anything comes close

Or stab it if it comes closer

This is from that last Voidstrike mission

I did also still have most damage, most kills, and most elites. Not most specialists/disablers

[marble crater]

Looks great, I think

[ripe obsidian]

I do successfully not die

[marble crater]

That's good, better than dying for the sake of more damage

[supple dock]

fuck that

die for more damage

die until you don't die anymore

[supple dock]

every scenario is a tetris puzzle and you're trying to find openings

[ripe obsidian]

HISTG Surge game

[supple dock]

You "fit in" the moments you can land a meaningful attack

etc etc

[marble crater]

Psyker doesn't have a "no dying" talent you know, zealot

[supple dock]

bruh

lmao

[ripe obsidian]

And HISTG Purg game:

[supple dock]

Good damage, good lessers, good amount of elites/specials, good damage taken

There's two points of improvement you can take from here

1: get better and put in more effort

2: Find out how to get the same results in a lazier way

The effort/reward loop is v important

[marble crater]

2. Sounds good to me

I'm already good, it's just my teammates holding me back, I swear

[supple dock]

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, I think I am doing fine. I just suck at lining up headshots

Always have

[marble crater]

Me too, in Darktide at least

[ripe obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/just-die-already-elaine-benes-the-english-patient-seinfeld-gif-15562348

Me with revolver on Zealot, missing every headshot and clipping shoulders instead:

[marble crater]

Just hit them in the head instead and ping the sniper for the team. Problem solved

[radiant frigate]

excited to see that fatshark posted an announcement for the upcoming announcement

[hollow current]

[supple dock]

But then you won't get these sick shots

[hollow current]

first try lets go

[supple dock]

I have ACTUAL first try clips

YOU WANT SOME

[hollow current]

only if they're wicked sick

[supple dock]

ok now i need to find them cause I sure af didn't categorize it

[marble crater]

Get these sick s-
Sick sh-
Sick sh-
Sick shot!

[supple dock]

had a weird moment here

I got fucking boxing ducked out of an attack

[marble crater]

Deserved

That's what you get for turning your back on your siblings

[hollow current]

you every throwing knifed a conga line of the weak mutants? It's fun.

hi please stop uploading everything in 8k

[supple dock]

No.

[upper sun]

we're all moving to space marines 2 when it releases right?

[supple dock]

@hollow current the requested video

[ripe obsidian]

Yeah, I suck at throwing knives, too

[supple dock]

Check the last video!

It's a pretty good shot 😄

[ripe obsidian]

It is a good shot

By too, I meant in addition to sucking at headshots

[supple dock]

The first one I threw so many because I had never thrown at that far range

[ripe obsidian]

I didn't mean "I suck as you suck". Wasn't intending to insult you

[supple dock]

lmao

[hollow current]

They take some getting used to but they're pretty easy to figure out.

[supple dock]

I honestly thought it was just an insult and I was like "well that's psyker chat"

so no hard feelings lmao

[ripe obsidian]

Nah, I try not to be mean to anyone

[marble crater]

Kusu can take it

[ripe obsidian]

I suck at both headshots and tossing knives. I just can't aim that precisely

[supple dock]

The best tip I can give for knives?

At the range you're gonna be hitting most things

Aim just above and depending on how close they are, at the top of their head

You'll land like 70% of your knife throws

[ripe obsidian]

Veteran with weapon expertise for the guaranteed revolver crits is how I get the most special/elite kills. 1HKO bodyshot

[hollow current]

I saved no footage from when I was doing the throwing knife penance

[thorn cedar]

throwing knives are just unmatched utility

being right under second wind is also a bonus

[split lance]

guys

whats a fire trauma

[upper sun]

its a trauma staff with crit/flak/blazing spirit/warp nexus

[split lance]

oh lmao

idk why i got confused then

[supple dock]

your proclamation of confusion confuses me

[split lance]

im tryna find a blaze shriek build

[split lance]

thought fire and soulblaze were 2 diff things

[supple dock]

oooh

[ripe obsidian]

Use the purgatus build in the Athenaeum

Just pick fire trauma instead of purg

[supple dock]

So you have purgatus staff which is a flamethrowqer

And you have Trauma + Blazing Spirit blessing

[split lance]

there is no purg build in athenaeum

[supple dock]

Depending on which blessings you have

[split lance]

unless im blinds

i have a blaze trauma thats pretty good

but using bubbble i explode too mcuh

[ripe obsidian]

It's the first or second build

[split lance]

1st is surge and 2nd is fire trauma

[supple dock]

shriek is nice

[split lance]

which now that ive said that

i realize its the 2nd one and im a moron

thank you for coming to my ted talk

[ripe obsidian]

2nd is purg

[ripe obsidian]

32.2 Purge - BR Flame Pump
This build revolves around using Purgatus staff for control and damage up close while using Brain Ruptures to deal with far away enemies.

You are too far down

That is the fourth build

[split lance]

im

thank you

You can only be banned if you are changing things server side (vacuum capsule, voice line mods and nude mods)

Average eu pub

[brazen rampart]

There's... nude mods..?

[stiff falcon]

@hardy raft flesh tearer still better

[brazen rampart]

Why..?

[stiff falcon]

Why not

[brazen rampart]

Oh, magic pain glove, give me a reason not to smite these sinners.

Jokes aside, that's huge degenerate behavior.

People installing those should really reconsider their lives.

[stiff falcon]

It’s ultra exclusive

[brazen rampart]

I don't care. They shouldn't exist at all.

There's no rhyme or reason to their existence.

[narrow herald]

The reason why I think they want bubble for purge and trauma is simply because when your vent is down you really struggle to deal with ranged enemies 😔

[fading depot]

Are you sure? I run into the Vacuum Capsule people all the time

[brazen rampart]

And what even is "vacuum capsule"?

[stiff falcon]

Yes, FatShark said it’s not allowed

[upper sun]

VACUUM CAPSULE

[stiff falcon]

Mod that allows you to use voice lines

[upper sun]

its an old type of electronic component

[stiff falcon]

Cryonic rod

[brazen rampart]

Oh I see.

[upper sun]

its a cold stick

[brazen rampart]

I've run into people using that before.

Sitting in an airlock, ogryn makes direct eye contact, "cryonic rod", and leaves me totally confused.

[stiff falcon]

Cutest Psyker has a mod that spams the elite voice line

[brazen rampart]

I've also had a psyker (female with the cute French voice) look my zealout (who was wearing the homeless stealth fit) dead in the eyes and call me a fiend.

[supple dock]

???????????

VACUUM CAPSULE

(:

[upper sun]

the fiend line is part of the combo

[brazen rampart]

I know.

[upper sun]

zealot sometimes says HERETIC while attacking

[hearty oak]

If its any good. The state of gaming may just have me pick up another game instead

[stiff falcon]

Vacuum capsule

[stiff falcon]

No

[brazen rampart]

...yeah, I know.

My point is I've seen vacuum capsule users several times and never figured out what was going on.

[upper sun]

fanatic zealot is pretty adorable while in melee ngl

heya :3

[brazen rampart]

The scottish voice?

Or irish?

I dont know the accent.

[upper sun]

no the female agi

[narrow herald]

HAHA WOULD YA LOOK AT THAT?!?!?!

[upper sun]

seriously tho about the crafting bruh like how much tuning does it need

[brazen rampart]

The one who says "ye" instead of "you".

[narrow herald]

Ironically the fntatic is the least Racist towards Psykers 🤔

[upper sun]

finatic has some cute lines with savant

[brazen rampart]

I dont know the personalities except for identifying cadians because I don't like them.

[upper sun]

id imagine theyre friendly when no one is looking

[hearty oak]

[upper sun]

oh noooo players get a little bit too much resources 😭

[brazen rampart]

I know the personality my zealout uses is very friendly towards ogryns and sort of indifferent towards psykers.

[narrow herald]

U don't get it, if they don't have a gambling loop than they would loose all of their players from "no replay ability"

[upper sun]

imagine needing one game instead of 1,3 to get a good weapon 😭

[brazen rampart]

He offers to help ogryns with their scriptures.

[upper sun]

gambling loop didnt work so far

maybe try uhhh

no gambling?

[hearty oak]

Its more like, cut the RNG out and ad some fun stuff to it

[brazen rampart]

As a destiny player, fuck the gambling loop.

[narrow herald]

Oh shit 🤯

[stiff falcon]

140

[brazen rampart]

I didn't get a god roll funnelweb until like s2 of lightfall.

Darktide preys upon my weakness for gambling that much more.

[narrow herald]

Wait it's all gambling?

always has been 🔫

[split lance]

yea i gotta get better at not exploding

[narrow herald]

Vent is universally better on paper, the issue is do you honestly trust your teamates to prioritize killing gunners or do you think they will miss every single shot and struggle to take down a mutant 2 inches away from them?

[split lance]

well if we take my last 3 games into consideration

no

[supple dock]

vent is 100% better in pracrtice too

it's an insane skill

[split lance]

maybe i try voidstrike staff

[narrow herald]

Yes I know, but worst case scenerio is you don't have vent up to cc the guns

[supple dock]

doesn't every staff come with a CC option

[narrow herald]

Yes but you need to eventually kill them

[supple dock]

can't every staff eat a gunner line

[narrow herald]

Also I don't know how consistent trauma and purge are when the target is far away

[supple dock]

trauma goes to about a mid distance

usually within range to kill most gunners

[split lance]

what are yall fav staff

or yall use gins

[narrow herald]

Wait didn't you say yesterday that you liked bubble with trauma and purge?

[supple dock]

And if your vent isn't up in a scenario like that, your ONLY option is to dive to the nearest wall or jump the gunners

[split lance]

yes

but i explode a lot

[spice veldt]

at a horizontal distance, trauma's distance is ~20m (21m if accounting for the circle radius)

[supple dock]

o7 ty mister numbers

[narrow herald]

Void by far

[spice veldt]

falloff of ranged enemies should begin at either 8m or 15m, and end at 30m
i lied, there are more numbers than i thought

[ionic sorrel]

Columnus is my favorite staff.

[narrow herald]

Staves? sorry I use smite for everything

[supple dock]

oops

[split lance]

i only get kills using vent

[bold cape]

[ionic sorrel]

Me playing Smite.

[split lance]

ur pfp is familiar, did u used to play warframe?

[narrow herald]

Why bother trying to use skill to dodge and prioritize mobs in a wave when you can press 2 buttons and they all just stop moving 🤔

[ionic sorrel]

Not really.

[marble crater]

I love when you congratulate someone for doing really well in a mission and then they are just a condescending asshole about it, instead of just saying thanks

[split lance]

show us ur voidstrike

randoms suck

[narrow herald]

I'm not on my game rn but it basically is this: https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/9c39a906-38b0-47d1-b8a5-3c44c08d3563/big-cock-psyker-build?utm_medium=website&utm_source=gameslantern&utm_campaign=share_button

[split lance]

oh this the one i used but trauma

[marble crater]

They do, but so did I on my first vet game in over a week or so

[narrow herald]

Wait why would you use that tree for Tauma?

Wait does trauma do weak point damage? 🤔

[bold cape]

i meant less in terms of skill and more in terms of them being assholes or not the most fun to interact with
but that fits too

[split lance]

WAIT NO

im wrong

idk why i thought that

[narrow herald]

Tbh I think I don't need all of those nodes on the top I should instead get more toughness

[split lance]

ill make a similar vs

[ripe obsidian]

I'm just using the Voidstrike build on the Athenaeum, because theorycrafting is hard

[split lance]

i let other ppl do that

[narrow herald]

The important part of the build tho is just the weak point damage of DD

The rest really is up to you, but I generally think Isilli is better than deimos with the void

[split lance]

i am illussy fan

[narrow herald]

I like Illisi too but the problem with it is when you have maniacs in your face you need to deal with immediately

[split lance]

yea

[bold cape]

ds4 my beloved

[narrow herald]

I also just by default always go SP on every single psyker build

[split lance]

SP?

seer?

[narrow herald]

Seers Presence

[marble crater]

I got that, no worries

[narrow herald]

7.5% damage to elites has to be troll I refuse to believe Fatshark tested it

[stiff falcon]

They didn't

[marble crater]

The only problem with illisi is that I'm addicted to dueling sword mobility

[narrow herald]

True but isn't the dueling sword better for elite killing? 🤔

So shouldn't u compare it to the Deimos?

[marble crater]

I guess, I just want an illisi with high mobility ok?

[split lance]

is this any good

or do i eat it for necus

nexus

[patent jacinth]

It might actually work with true aim

Not optimal but it’s a void strike, it already kicks ass

[split lance]

im gonna roll for a better one

[patent jacinth]

Yeah

But keep it for now

It’s a good in-between

[split lance]

got these 2

any good?

[marble crater]

The first one is

[upper sun]

both are good low blast is peak

[marble crater]

Low quell is not peak

5 minute loading after a mission is also not peak

[split lance]

welp cringe

[marble crater]

Update will fix it, after summer

[upper sun]

yo put surge nexus on it and its good

crit damage is usable on surge

[split lance]

so swap barrage

[marble crater]

Terrifying Barrage is a contender for the worst blessing in the game

[upper sun]

barrage doesnt do anything

[hearty oak]

barrage and transfer peril. The crit damage modifier is... ok
Its already going to be doing so much damage that you can use it till you get a better voidstrike

[hearty oak]

Actually works well on purge staff. Stuns a lot of enemies dying from the casts

[upper sun]

yeah crit damage is bad in general but it does something on coid with surge

[marble crater]

[hearty oak]

No joke. try it

[split lance]

do i swap any perk

[marble crater]

I will not try that heresy

[upper sun]

keep the perks

transfer and barrage suck most

[split lance]

so slap nexus on

[upper sun]

yeah do you have surge?

[split lance]

yes

[upper sun]

ye its a good staff with em

[upper sun]

i wanna try out a void with crit damage crit chance and surge seems fun

[split lance]

lemme try it

[spice veldt]

groaners are the only melee enemies that can be suppressed, and ranged enemies that are within 8m of purg get suppressed anyways

[hearty oak]

Makes cornering them where they run in or dropping down easy

Also more useful than nexus tbh

[spice veldt]

who is "them"

groaners?

[upper sun]

MODS BREAK HIS KNEES FOR TALKING SHIT ABOUT NEXUS

[hearty oak]

Ye

[spice veldt]

groaners are gon get annihilated by purg anyways though

300 hp, 1.5x damage from soulblaze

[hearty oak]

Its about sending a message

[spice veldt]

and they get suppressed regardless

well, you can run whatever you like but consider not having opinions ever again

[hearty oak]

No. I will tell people to use run n gun on purge

[upper sun]

thats no way to talk to a sibling

[hearty oak]

and poop in your toilet and not flush

[split lance]

i dont like having to actually aim

holy

[spice veldt]

the damage buff is only while you're sprinting

[upper sun]

what

[spice veldt]

which, coincidentally, you're not doing while casting

[upper sun]

forget what i said

[long wharf]

Who do we call to get a wellness check done for Catfish?

[upper sun]

im sure shes fine

shes in a better place now 🙏

[long wharf]

Oof

[upper sun]

ie a job where she can say more than 🐈 🧊 👟

[analog agate]

I want to know what their original plan was when they announced they would release a dev blog on itemization this month. Cause it has obviously changed drastically

As in original itemization plan

[long wharf]

They didn't say they'd do a dev blog on itemization

[wind spruce]

I hate having +20% burn application rate, toughness restoration and EE procs

[ripe obsidian]

Stamina for Flak, Shred for Slaughterer?

[analog agate]

They didn’t? I swear they said it. Was it just an update on it they said?

[long wharf]

Nope, the dev blog will be on the content update

[hearty oak]

Does it not stagger most melee enemies?

[spice veldt]

https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/an-update-on-itemization/95942

[wind spruce]

I don't know or care. I'm referring to you implying nexus doesn't do much

[hearty oak]

mf on purge. I dont mean all around

[spice veldt]

purg is doing that regardless

of the melee enemies, only groaners can be suppressed

i.e., no other enemy except groaners can be affected by TB

[hearty oak]

Ragers cant be suppressed or staggered by it? (And im not talking about its lmb)

[long wharf]

I stand corrected then, nice

[spice veldt]

ragers can not be suppressed

like i said

no melee enemy
