i think you dont understand what i said
Recon feels better
well mettle is less important this update
Unless the laspistol is putting out bolt gun damage, I'm good off it
and psyker wont get vaporized without EE being up instantly
You said that recons are better than LasPistol, they might feel better but the LasPistol are genuinely strong, would say stronger
yeah but both me ttle and perfect timing work out well with laspistol
Laspistol is quite a bit more damage with a bit more effort. Recon is easier and slightly safer due to your clip lasting longer for EE
and yeah sure mettle is so pointless, who wants a a button to give 15% movespeed? on top of your other stacking movespeed buffs
for mettle/perfect timing they are the same
its another upside yeah
laspistol gets so m uch crit chance
they arent the same, its much quicker and easier to stack mettle and pt to max with a burst from recon than spamming laspistol
im not talking about dps here
With how much crit psyker has mettle is quite easy to proc all across the board
perfect timing uptime nearly 100% with like everything, laspistol has very high crit rate
its the RATE at which you MAX IT
yeah but that doesnt really matter much
and you might have those up before switching to your gun anyways
that ones crazy
i have both
I feel like my hairiest moments are when I'm surrounded by hordes and trying to slash them down
Laspistol default movement speed is also higher
it also builds peril easily on pushing
im not saying its bad in any way
but you have to have better aim and it doesnt stack on crit buffs at the same rate as recon, so for me, i prefer recon
I use recon but only because of EE reliability
Recon feels like an m249
that is one example of on crit buffs yeah
EE seriously feels unfair, making it % ranged damage negation would achieve similar results without being so busted ngl
ee needs to be like it is
Like you can sit in front of 3 reapers and laught
Lies
yeah psyker might need some tuning like that
if it wasnt like it is it would effectively be useless in harder content
i fear it might make bubble used even more though
50% or more ranged dr would already make EE crazy
It would force you to dodge slide and other things, but you would still be effective as anti gunner
you already have to do those things unless youre using recon
You can make it all damage dr for ranged only or toughness dr with a longer duration
the real problem with it is just bubble meta
if its not like it is you wont see it used without recon, and bubble becomes hard meta
ee is like s+ tier it can take some nerfs
I guarantee you that 50% damage negation would still let it see lots of use
if anything maybe making it 50% ranged dr and 1.2s dura might work out
actually idek the uptime is fine
50% ranged DR means you will die in under a second in H40
yeah but then you have all thet new dr
okay, you've other sources of dr and other classes can manage
other classes manage by doing one of a few things
50% damage negated ON TOP of all the Dr you get
either zealot sliding at the gunners or standing behind cover being unsupressable and shooting them one by one on vet or using shield etc on ogryn
its defo one of the more reasonable spots to nerf psyker
do people even use that in havoc
isnt the reason it gets buffed every 5 minutes the usage rate
80% of arby Exe stance is strong, on a class that can build for good ranged damage I feel 50% is gine
but yeah remove the 50% quell from it or something lol
the reason it doesnt get used in havoc is because of the requirement for inferno
nerf some of purg/shriek/ee
it doesnt do cara damage.
rending stuff
yes uncanny stacking
Also why psy aura is 60%? Why not 30 with such good uptime?
Uncanny interactions need to be removed
blah blah im so sick of this im gonna go play the game
the psy aura nerf ws a slap on the wrist
wahh waahh psyker too good
60% psy aura is fine
buuut does man care
Actually blessings interacting with anything other than the intended weapon like bleed nades should be removed
I think psyker should never be nerfed ever ๐
holy hell this is facts give sg 20% ms talent built in
Yes sciers needs a buff
we must buff scriers every update and definitely not dclaw
yeah cos you a dclaw hater ๐
SG is overtuned and dclaw needs buffs, that much is obvious to anyone
maybe if you stopped hating fs would buff...
dclaw is the most aweesomest weapon in darktide
it does a lot of cool stuff and things i think
i personally think its pretty cool actually
dclaw is bad? got it, buffing psyker immediately
but the lack of ranged that can deal with cara makes it not really viable
wait no I get it
this is so sad can we reduce sg cooldown to 5 seconds
ObeseFish is a DClaw hater, giving their niche to the DS
we all pester
to buff dclaw
they buff assail instead
the parry on dclaw and DS work pretty differently
Assail so bad, my auto aiming missiles can't kill armored
Assail now pierce caparace and instakill gunners
+stunlocks Karnak twins
While in bubble
make assail do a bleedsplosion
Real talk? I feel EP should make assail change into 5 chunks of crystals that explode like mini grenades on impact
Each assail crystal spawns a krak grenade when it touches an enemy
i think ep should make assail into 1 giant slow death shard
It now can nuke Pogryns
That..wouldnt be broken at all
EP assail should spawn a shard that traverses the whole map and kills everything in front of you. In exchange you generate 10% more peril to make it balanced.
ill take logical fallacies for 100 please alex
its really weak they should give it the movespeed by default
we should give the single strongest buff possible to SG....
when you use it... it brings brunt back
The year is 2030. Scierโs gaze now provides platinum toughness for 800 seconds on player blink (Anduril VR Biometrics DLC required). True survivor title is required to complete the tutorial. Braced autogun has been buffed with +5% magazine capacity
Does "perils generation" affects peril gained because of taking dmg (Just a Dream) or blocking (Kinetic Deflection)?
yea
perils generation is multiplicative, right?
So there is no sence in stacking -10% many times?
i think so
Kinetic Deflection is also affected by stamina and block effficiency
stamina more so
what do you mean?
yes its multiplicative but this doesnt mean there isnt a benefit in stacking sources of peril generation reduction
I need one point to have more Disrupt Destiny time. I can get that point with removing Battle Meditation or Anticipation.
Inner Tranquility can go to hell
hes not using inner tranq with DD
It can still go to hell
rip unlucky for some

Eh wtf
Ok, preparing link
Add bleed on impact, an additional hit, and explode on final hit for a few stacks of bleed.
this guy cheating get him
use this
once youre done press view build and post the link
Or just do it on your phone and take a screenshot, the best way
just anything so we have an image of the tree not an eldritch incantation
Probably summoned Nurgle into our next missions
wait was that command actually usable somewhere
too toxic 
What did you do?
Do not post dogs reacting to septic tank diving
You will be banned for scat related content
I see
I use Shredder againt monstrosities or to hit distant targets with that single bulett that will trigger bb
Almost verbatim what I made for mine
assuming you are trying to get cruel fortune
But I use assail, and filled in my DD tree. Few other changes
and then switch to perfectionism I assume
I am not good with managing peril, so I limit it as much I can. For me it is battle mage with mana shield.
perfectionism can be not great in lower difficulties
yeah ultimately this tree doesnt care about peril at all
Don't play lower difficulties then, smh
you just want to keep it as high as possible with SG
If you're using scriers, you don't need to manage peril
noted, i will upgrade to heresy and try not to die
If you have trouble, I know someone who can carryien you
shes too mean to me ๐
Especially with psykinetics aura. I think I have like a 90% scriers uptime in combat
Besides using it as resource for block / dmg reduction. That is why I was asking about stacking -x% perils generation. If it is worth it, or can I spend it to get +dmg.
Damn, what a flamer
yeah dont worry about getting peril reduction at all
you literally just dont need it on this build
you can block forever
you have KD and warp ghost
Thx for help ๐
arent you on console?
nope
that's me
Console can't ads, we don't have d or s buttons
questions
does this not work on normal enemies
and does this not work with the guarantied crit on the greatsword?
It works. But if you kill an enemy on the crit, they die before they get any fire.
And the special attack on the greatsword does not apply fire.
Blazing Spirit is quite underwhelming on melee.
essentially its fucking terrible, doesnt work how you want it to or think it should
thats cringe imo
Soulblaze on melee is indeed very cringe
we all agree with your opinion
nah im talking about the crit not applying the soul blaze
if the warp slash could apply blaze, then blazing + warp slice would be awesome
but it desnt so its poop
well, crits do apply blaze, to enemies you actually hit with the sword
but, if you crit with the sword the thing you hit is dead
I just want soulblaze in a small aoe on hit instead of crit
so it doesnt get fire
and if youre doing it into trash mobs, yes technically the trash you cleave into but dont kill will get fire, but its just going to die in the next hit / when you do warp slash anyway so its a waste of time
If we are really honest it's not even a melee problem, it's a Blazing Spirit problem, because the only reason it even works on Voidblast is because the radius for applying it is so much bigger than the radius for damage. It's bad on Voidstrike too and if it wasn't for the interaction on Voidblast it would be bad there as well 
its not even that good on voidblast now
6 stack cap hurts it a LOT
if it could stack to 12 that would be much better, but really blazing trauma leans very heavily on creeping flames
It's OP in lights out missions though
play it without creeping flames and see how OP it really is (its not)
meanwhile SG + recon + assail + DD go brrrrrrrrrrrr
It will still show all the enemies in the dark though
so does a flashlight
the only reason its op in lights out is because pubs get to play the game
My staves don't have a flashlight
which is either positive or negative depending on your mood to carry
Voidblast has kind of a flashspot I guess
console peasants cant even mod a light source into lights out smh
We don't need them, because we also don't have OLED monitors
i mean i can mod in a flashlight but just dont
theres a lantern mod which is pretty cosy
Flamestaff sort of acts like one, I might install that mod that makes the flames more transparent
weapon independent and doesnt need weapon customisation
I see people need to be flamer'd.
It would be an arguably better Creeping Flames. Well, not better, since it would still cap at 6 or 8 or whatever. But it would be on-demand, immediate, spammable soulblaze and horde clear on FGS. Like the bleed macro with bistol
There would be balance issues, more than Psyker already has
Why do people favor the mk6c over the mk12 recon lasgun?
They seem to do the same DPS but the mk12 kills shit quicker
I think people do favor the 12?
When I first started this journey several people said to "run the one with the C"
one guy said that
Other classes? Why would you want such a thing?
i immediately said he was wrong
Pretty sure at least 2 did but ๐คท
catmiral notorious troll
I missed that ig
i think he also told you to take blazing spirit on your FGS.
Yea the 12 cooks imo. Running that going forward
Do not do that
VIc is more for vets memeing with INF recon ammo.
Do not the blazing spirit
Blazing spirit?
Because that mark literally is insanely ammo efficient.
Yea I could see ammo efficiency
Unless you spray at hordes.
It's a vet, of course they magdump into hordes
rude
Why are you even playing vet if you don't?
rude, but factual
I will frag you, twice.
With your luck of triggering twin blast you are fragging nobody twice
That doesn't count. You can literally shoot everything in uprising and malice.
I have 4 frags, WDYM?
Good luck hitting me with your ping
VIc is good though, I just wouldn't take either over las pistol
You forget, arena wide blasts.
I dodge
ROLL FOR INITATIVE
You get 2 as well.
So, I for the first time attempted to make a build, how bad is it?
https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds/a0391f94-f1d6-4c8b-b6fe-ce514f479ebb/attempt-of-survival
Uh

its...... got some issues.
like 2 of the curios are ok
the weapons both have errors and the tree has some choices that dont make a lot of sense. what difficulty is this for?
Inferno is 3/4 correct, that's not too bad
idk as high as I can get, not really big on making builds, which seems to be easy to spot by all your reactions
Change carapace to crit chance or unyielding, I would do unyielding
its no problem dude we all start somewhere
Talking heresy and damnation
And sometimes, we never change. All the funni builds.
And then I would check the pinned builds here and maybe ask if you want to understand some choices, that's better than people picking apart your build 
this is sort of the base line shriek + inferno build
leaving you 3 points to put where you like
I mean, heresy would work. Dunno about damnation and aurics cos ammo war.
if you struggle with peril management, you could take these
Warp Ghost is right there
I'd say EE instead of ogryn damage would be the base
is perfect timing rly necessary ?
if you want better survivability, you could take some of these
blah blah its all to taste
will definetly start here then, since I do go boom more often than not
That's not ideal
i said its a base tree and has 3 points left over. mine looks like this
and then the other change to make is your duelling sword; it should look like this :
the other blessing and perk are again to taste, common choices would be unyielding or maniacs for the perk, and thrust, agile or shred for the blessing
indeed
yeah yeah
precog/riposte
theres a reason i said to taste
i like thrust these days
agile is very good for survivability and does also give damage
I use uncanny and thrust (I don't use DS at all)
What's your precog uptime like
elitists dont like it
idk i should probably get the mod
ultimately i dont actually think theres much of a reason to use DS over deimos on psyker
i did not realize they buffed it
im just not great with deimos. i also wanna have a weapon that i can sorta move around with yknow ? staves are so heavy ...
There isn't, blocking bullets is funny and cool
deimos has great mobility and has the most broken mechanic of all
uncanny force pushing
i know i know
what is mobility for? just speed of dashes or smth like that?
Is there anything to use the stave special for?
the stat ?
I have templates in the guide ahhhhhhhhhhh
Speed, dodge distance iirc
making a slug puke up your fren
yes but i dont want to inflate your ego ๐
Big stagger?
We are slowly but surely undermining your position as ruler of the meta
just kidding, tomes of knowledge are intimidating for newbies
I'mma try that
yea if u hit em in the weakspot on the back they puke
This is reasonable.

It is true. Hard to find a way to make it more appealing.
it doesnt need to be
its great, just asking someone to read a 60 page document is a lot
oh did you guys hear
it should take the form of an actual tome bound in leather and necromantic sorcery
they plan on adding 5 more classes to this game next psykertide update

They are all psyker
sanctic psyker big psyker law psyker experienced psyker
ogryn psyker
he said that, bigly psyker
Will we get psyker in power armour?
just imagine one
Canned Sparkhead
Instructions unclear, summoned psyker Tyranid
how does Havoc work now? I have done a H27, but when i try to list myself, it doesn't apear to have the H27 marker on it
your assignment rank is not your clearance rank
if you go to the terminal and speak to dukane you can see your current assignment and the rank it is
its likely to be rank 2 or something.
What setup y'all run on fgs?
it's rank 30
but still doesn't show up when listing
you need to set the listing to your current assignment
dont listen to this
again with the fucking blazing spirit
just scroll up dude
blazing spirit sword jumpscare oooo ooo
"i get my builds from gameslantern" ass nonsense
built it myself but sure
- this was my last game on havoc so. It's not like it doesn't work
Mr. E logic?
Tbh is that or YouTubers nonsense for those not blessed with the capacity to make builds because we are busy doing irl
or, you know
the psyker chat
that you are currently in
with six's incredibly detailed and accurate guide
or people who clear 40's every day
well, it definetly feels like the build is not fighting against me
short story. Blazing spirit or unstable
thanke
nah, i've tested both, and Blazing works better. But you're welcome to your opinion. I'm not gonna try to flame you for having it
I dont trust h40 clearers.
its not an opinion, and it doesnt work better, i think you dont understand how it works
ANYWAY, this was fun as always dom
H40 clearers van do their own shit that is sub optimal
quick i better post my havoc forged title as proof that blazing spirit is a good melee blessing
You can clear havoc with any setup. But understanding the different in what blessings actually achieve for you is different then just having the title
might be a godo idea to find a warpfire dmg scoreboard
Funny bleed swap FGS build let's go
some 40's from today. Blazing spirit is essentially non functional on force swords for the reasons we discussed here #psyker-class message
Not understanding leads to common mistakes
As over confidence, spreading misinformation, etc
Tru I've never cleared it myself
h40 hasnt been cleared by anyone yet its too scary
the only way we'd clear it is with the new god emperor class
It's difficult to estimate the efficacy of many blessings/talents without stats to back it up. Basically needed Uptime to actually make a bit better informed decisions regarding blessings in particular. Doesn't matter how good you are or how many hours you've played
of course they'd have to use duelling sword
Need a mod to see what's providing value, need a mod to see what that thing even does to begin with
Need a mod to see how you're doing in general
Because fatshark doesn't tell the player anything
VT had a okayish system
Scoreboard only at the end
I have a mod that tells me my kills cause I like seeing the number go up
VT felt less opaque than DT
Yes
Tbf to properly test things in DT you still need a mod
Yes
I just test my efficiency in the psykanium
How I do against 50 groaners and such
But it was a pretty straight forwards system with its armor/stagger system
You need a mod to do that tho
Yeah
I think scoreboard is unecessary for that cause it sometimes comes down to skill anyway
H40 clearers bring out their havoc-forged or true survivor. And you think they must be good then come into game with an autogun and dont kill shit.
H40 ready players 
Scoreboard let's you know if you're doing better or worse on average if you care to pay attention to it
I'm trying to get the auric title the legit way, people that quit out because they lose their chance make me cringe
There is an illegitimate way?
Yes
If you quit out I believe you can keep your count
But in this context I think they mean auric storm survivor
Which just allows them to play bad
+1, not there yet
scoreboard lets you know who is doing what in the game and allows you to compare your own metrics to yourself, its by no means a be all and end all of anything. But for example, if you have a zealot with duelling sword, zarona and throwing knives who has low overall damage but 70% of the total specials killed, you know they are being impactful in the game. the same zealot with 5% of the total specials killed is likely not doing much at all.
What if they have every boss kill
that would be another example of a metric scoreboard would allow you to see and know if they are being impactful or not
Ainz, I looked at the code for the shield wall, and best I can tell so far, it might've been a network issue that caused the net to get through? Not sure. Still looking.
As for the mutant, hitting the shield is just an electrocution stunning attack on collision with 5 impact. So if the collision didn't register or if the mutant somehow had impact or stun immunity (tox gas?) it could ignore it, I think.
agree, but if there is only one player using each type of DoT then its pretty good
The mutant just slowly slide his way through
It's using lagmancy
if im the only psyker in the game and there is only one zealot then the ownership of warpfire or burning is likely to be pretty accurate
Fair point
I don't know enough about the broadphase collision detection to give a better answer
its kinda fun, but i learned in mutie maelstrom that it just betrays you too often
I think it's this code.
sometimes bursters will also dive right through it
if its not reliable and you cant trust it it loses a lot of value imo
There are a ton of if statements here that I don't fully understand
Like
if is_colliding and not units_inside[unit] then
does Darktide run off spaghetti code?
Yes.
this doesn't inspire confidence
Ainz love walls as much as me, I am joy 
so not even latency related most likely
cant tell if any got blocked
you can see 2 of them go through
but idk if more get shot that actually get blocked
Fair. I am still trying to figure it out
usually blocked
There's a lot of extension stuff here I just don't know enough about
@summer prairie if youre there and testing, can you try with 5 trappers first, and then 6?
I think it's specific angle
if I just spawn them in a row rather than in varying positions, they aren't getting through
thats what im wondering
Smoke grenades also have frame count
I can spam 20+ and it doesn't get through if they are in a row rather than the angle varying
It looks like it's only updating the collision info every 5 frames, maybe? I could be misunderstanding
After getting netted through once from this position, I spawned another one at the same position with the same wall and it got through
Is it distance or angle?
Didn't do enough testing but the angle is more likely, I didn't really control for the distance
if scratchpad.force_field_system:is_object_inside_force_field(new_sweep_position, radius, true) then
scratchpad.internal_state = "shot_finished"
?
Maybe it was desynced
It shouldn't
Shouldn't being the operative word
I'm thinking player lag
The way it appears to work is that if the net's collision counts as is_object_inside_forcefield, the projectile is supposed to despawn
oh my god thats a lotta testing
It's all server side so I think you wouldn't even see the wall on your side either
Though I don't think the net is coded as a projectile
I think ForceFieldExtension.is_unit_colliding is what you would want to look at but good luck
just played a maelstrom auric mission, I forgot that is what schizophrenia feels like
Pretty sure bubbles stop it
I think it comes at a specific angle and doesn't stay inside the wall hitbox long enough
Sounds like the games just buggy as shit
And y'all just looking for logic where it doesn't exist cuz broken game lol
Definitely see some suss shit fairly regularly
Yes

We're just seeing if there is a possible outlier that is causing this to happen consistently
Not always.
I have someone get netted in bubble probably once a week
I think that's just due to being too close to it
Yes
But that's for bubble
I think the projectile spawns briefly before being deleted
Hence mentioning earlier that it only seems to update the array of units every 5 frames
I've not stopped to review footage on it but when it does happen I presumed it was because they were close enough to the bubble that the hit box materialized inside it or something
Games like this we expect things that come out of guns to actually come out of guns but I think sometimes they just spawn out of thin air in front of the character
Close enough to the player inside the bubble can net the player. Trapper doesn't need to be near bubble, can be inside.
I asked an AI to help me explain it. It says that the net only checks if it's in the forcefield at the end of a frame, whereas regular collision checks are a ray cast. Dunno if it's correct. But I am at the end of my knowledge
@tulip kettle I recorded the game earlier so you can watch the 2 man from my pov if you want
would love to โค๏ธ
And maybe there's some additional grace given for "grabs" like that and the dog, mutants etc
also, with all of my testing, ive only been able to get netted through the wall, regardless of angle or distance, when a certain number of nets hit the wall at the same time. Thats not what happened to ainz though
im done with this, tldr, wall not reliable, dont trust it
Okay, I tentatively believe the AI based on what I am reading.
especially with me
little did I know, the game is the best memer of all
It looks like the code for checking if it's in the shield only checks at the end of each frame, so if the angle is right, it can technically pass through the shield during a frame and do the check afterward
Which means it counts as not being there
Whereas the collision detection for everything else is a continuous check using raycasting
i also get caught by the 6th trapper every time, in 3 different tests now.
But since the bubble is, well, a bubble, there's so much more space for projectiles to count as is_in_force_field or whatever
I think the wall is just not coded well, in short

And for some reason is coded differently than other collision systems
Every time I am trying to dodge a crusher I'm reminded of this
weird, anything vs AABB should be reliable enough
Is there a trick to being more consistent with dodging their bullshit?
i open this and get an add that starts "lets get ready to crumble"
im assuming thats not the reference being made
No
It's a reference to sedition
and no, just practice, dodge as late as you feel comfortable with
can also force sword push them out of the animation.
I am afraid I do not know enough about this to give a concrete answer
Closed doors is the same.
I do not know how its implemented in this game, so safe to say I do not know enough neither
Dodge sliding on audio cues is what I try to do. Doesn't always work. Especially in dense hordes or surrounded by Bulwarks. Getting netted through like 20 ogryn enemies is a Bad Time.
i have recently been training myself not to slide vs the armour blobs
I have a couple links to the code above, but I am a novice at best with software engineering
run out of dodges too quickly
I need to do this.
better to spam push attacks and only dodge when you miss one
Me sliding into an overhead is a classic at this point.
haha sammmeee
at least once a game i slide around a corner and my life flashes before my eyes
You should have seen Dom's luck that time. The overheads were out for him.
I blindly spam push attack and try not to run out of dodges
just waiting for chaos to post the clip of me taking on literally 30 crushers earlier and coming out on top
canโt wait for crushers to start dark souls baiting us with their overheads so they hit us right after we dodge
Usually Deimos PA is enough to keep enemies at bay until I end up backing into a corner
When I get put under that much pressure, my map knowledge can falter
There's no audio cues when these situations come up. Cuz there's 4000 things doing different things making noise plus my teammates and all their stuff going on.
dom domming
Yea
It is true. Audio can be spotty.
my head doesn't hurt enough, lets try to get another havoc game
I'm still riding high on the great H40 I had yesterday.
I mean spotty I'm not even certain of but not really my issue as much as just having so much chaos happening that I'm not capable of discerning it.
I did a h40 once, still dont know how (getting carried)
I believe I developed a nerve from eye to keyboard without passing through my brain
Crushers canโt handle 22 stacks of soulblaze and a uncanny strike superiority Deimos FS
I just move, idk whats going on
You are a dragonfly
Oh right, I figured out why my audio cues are spottier when my partner and I play together. His audio levels just overwhelm mine.
I think 22 would be like 500 damage per tick with fully stacked superiority and uncanny.
Which purple can outheal, sadly.
Being the last person alive against a horde of crushers where something in the very back is purple has traumatized me
too many peoplelooking to make h40, i dont want to ruin somebodys game 
hi Fyre
I think deranking is healthy
Otherwise you get scrubs that just naturally get carried enough times that they end up places they really don't have the skill to be
Probably. But less
If everyone just had linear, vertical growth then A it wouldn't mean anything and B everyone would get there
I wish I had linear vertical growth somewhere else
๐ณ
It more makes the whole thing unfun. New season and climb again. Have to get premades or play very specific builds to get into a party because "oh no my rank".
It stifles build diversity and just playing havocs.
Can still grind to 40, but the derank specifically can fuck off.
Oh, you were away for more than a week? get fecked.
Easy fix is to just not focus on hitting max level content with meme builds. Just have fun with em
No
So why push to max havoc at all?
The deranking specifically is ass.
If we cleared a difficulty, we should be freely able to get play that difficulty.
I still haven't reached 40 myself but I got clearance ages ago
I like having something on the line. Motivation to succeed.
Idrgaf about leaderboards but I respect their place in games. Perhaps darktide needs one
getting to 40 means you dont have to care about deranking any more and can play what you like in your own lobbies
Right now, H40 is the only place where you can try different things and not cost someone something other than time. You can try different builds, comps, different friends can rotate out instead of only playing with x players because randoms are doing the most.
You stop deranking at 40?
yes
Interesting
you can lose all you want
then with a new season there a reset and everyone has to climb again
That's just keeping the game alive
i finally won a havoc ._.
Like seasons or leagues in any other game
Give people a reason to play. Though, if there's no rewards or new mechanics or anything like that, it's kinda empty sounding
on another note, everyone bump this plzhttps://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/remove-kinetic-flayer-critical-peril-restriction/114138
Not sure why this was implemented in the first place, it just penalizes people who use Sciers Gaze Also, there has been a bug in the game for ages whereby Kinetic Flayer would trigger upon a player hitting critical peril (97%+), but it wonโt actually perform a brain rupture, but still goes on cooldown. This bug has been reported many times b...
Pro 
as infiltrate zealot ๐
just bonk the boss!
i got to pull the magic trick of "i'll make this pogryn.....disappear"
Are havoc levels per character or account?
โ ๏ธ
in its own way
Yea that's kinda shit
nah it's fine but it has unique issues too
Invalidates the reason behind having a derank system
Yeah I posted. Rare decent vet play
Like yea your arbites can hit whatever level, day havoc 20 or something, but that doesn't mean your ogryn can lol
yes.......and it's a problem sometimes
i've concluded i don't like playing havoc with rando true survivors
True survivors?
it's the hardest title in the game :3
a title you get when you clear H35+ with no team Downs/Deaths
NO IT DOESNT
CUZ ITS ACCOUNT BOUND
like yes
some of them genuinely just want to help you clear your lower havoc
most people who flex it cheese it or as addressed before, its account wide
Well yea but statistically you're still more likely to find a real sweat with them than a rando that doesn't have the title at all lol
i forgot to post this vid a while ago lol
titles/emblems/levles never did mean anything
some of them it's just bait because they're using a class they dunno and basically using true survivor to guarantee you'll invite them
Doesn't mean you WILL. just more likely
or some of them they're using that class but using a commplete meme build they've never tested
sure, but annecdotally i have encountere more of them out to troll than out to help
I see
Perhaps the curse of sweatlordiness. At some point you just stop caring about being the best and just want to meme on shit lol
man you play like a god on every class, hard carried us through that one. rot armour not strong enough for krak nades chaos
Thats rare in this community, sadly
Memers?
also damn dude what a bizarre build it didnt work at all -.-
people who got good, and dont care to run the best things
๐ค
It's just the same weekly reward. I don't even mind grinding up to H40 each season, it's just the deranking that's shit. Also not playing for a week, and that being a derank just doesn't respect a players time.
There are penances, but it's just reach x clearance level, collect weekly rewards, or true survivor. Do havocs to 40 1 time and get most of them. Others can be done sub 40.
Feel like that's pretty unanimous in most games. People get bored of the meta
nearly every havoc party finder is people running the best things and being sweaty so they win. Its not much fun anymore
I got bored of trying to be meta in general ages ago
Doesn't even affect me on a per game basis anymore
it's hard for me to get into games cuz infiltrate zealot
but that's besides the point
Not that I care too much about build specifics but when you said zealot I had no idea you were going infiltrate lol
I mean you and I were doing memey type shit at low level havocs so it don't matter
But I could see a boss focused build getting daggers for groups trying to push content
I need to friend this guy
joiin his vc and ask him if you can play psyker in his havoc 40
Go run games with him and double up his damage just to piss him off
see what he says

"you can't play with me if you play that dogshit unskilled purge staff"
i asked him if i could play the voidblast one
well i mean
I've still got a lot of work to do and testing and whatnot but so far the ONLY class that even comes close to beating my output is arbites
"the only thing you can play is gnu psyker but everyone is dogshit at it"
They beat me if I go down a lot that game
i'm okay with prayer zealot
Chorus?
i can play prayer zealot
but i don't get why you have to force people thatplay with you to play a certain way
i just choose to play infiltrate
do you really want me to give a somewhat serious answer?
it's cuz like if a vet is bad at the game and doesnt hit many specials but at least throws grenades and provides gold toughness, they're still bad but they're providing something useful.
a zealot that doesn't do damage and is bad is at least providing prayer
etc etc
it's an "if they're ass they're still being somewhat useful"
Speaking for myself, and I imagine others share sentiment, it's not about what you play or the weapons you use or whatever. It's just having someone that can contribute. IDK the specifics of the stealth zealot build but if the only damage you can put out is 2-3 times a mission when a boss hits the scene, that puts a lot of weight on everyone else the other 95% of the run. For me, as long as everyone can do damage and help with hordes and bosses idgaf.
on the other hand, an infiltrate zealot that doesn't do much and misses bosses isn't doing shit
infiltrate can hit crushers for a good bit of damage fyi
even without using ability
Id imagine
But the difference between bosses and crushers is you don't get 8 bosses spawned into a gang at once lol
IDK how quickly they can delete that specific arrangement
But I've seen ogryns annihilate packs of crushers
you're being serious, let me laugh harder
if you're unlucky even in havoc 20s you can get 3 bosses at once
?
Wild
Anything is viable if you're good enough. Don't join an H40 with a build you can't execute on and expect people to carry you. But also don't prejudge people based on build alone (much of the time). When I am hosting H40s, I mostly accept the first people who request it who are of a reasonable clearance level and aren't another Psyker. >:(
All the more reason to be versatile imo
and the thing is i can maybe only nuke one, but i still truck bosses for like 1/4th hp in one hit. without infiltrate up
Had 5 bosses at once in the first room of a map the other day. Killed 3 or 4 before getting run down
You racist
that's like havoc 40 though right? i'm luckily not havoc 40
Do you have any tips for completing power up penance on psyker?
i may only be able to hard stomp bosses, yes. but i can still do damage to crushers etc. though my horde clear game isn't as good as a psyker's by far
I might make a more cc/support centric build for fun and to be that role when needed but for damage, this is it
today I pulled 6 bosses to Power matrix mid event due to unfortunate events and needless to say it was a waste of time
I've seen maps spawn like 15+ bosses over the course of the map but never 3+ at once
Least not that I can remember
Unless you count some dingus pulling a demon host to spice things up
Twins plus monstrosity is a common occurrence
You only get very high simultaneous spawns at the start of the map due to what is essentially a bug and perhaps sometimes on specific maps at other points due to paused pacing, not sure about the latter
In havoc?
Bc ??
No regular missions
My time in havoc is limited
I think I'm in h4 or something
I need to take this psyker into havoc though
Last attempt my build was half assed with junk gear and outputting piss damage and I was still topping out. This build is going to shred havoc
and you only start seeing it more havoc 20+
Havoc 40 boss triggers become near guaranteed 1 boss
it's cuz i was an infiltrate zealot i'm just saying
?
you would have to be having a really bad day to not beat me in damage
I mean the other two as well
how did you find the other two btw
Mercantile first event can have you sit there with 4 full monstrosities at the same time.
Only reason the arbiter pulled ahead was cuz I was dead lol
Party finder
Random group
no
he really wasn't
watched me and the vet bleed out and did nothing
twice in fact
yeah........some people do that for unknown reasons
maybe trying to finish the res allies penance? idk
havoc aint the place to do it though
Mind you he had no damage either so it's not like he had carry stigma or something
It was a particularly unlucky H40
It is me.
that is.......so sadge lmao.
I'm just a coal shoveler for 6.
my sincere condolances
It is because the boss spawn limit doesn't go into effect until a certain point, yes?
Yes, the max monster limit doesn't apply until pacing starts
pacing? ๐ฎ
Rude of the game.
the director gets turned on basically, like at the start of the map when it doesn't spawn anything yet
I'd rather have 5 bosses spawn at the beginning than 30 minutes in, though
its why sometimes on power matrix you get twins before you even enter the map
Yea. If I'm gonna fail let's get that shit over with at the start lol
which i personally love
Don't worry Psykers, I'll revive whenever possible.
huh. i've never seen that.
its pretty common honestly
True
and its good too because it means you know you wont get them the rest of the run
the worst bit on any map is the bit someone posted a map of yesterday
imagine if they made an event where you could get multiple twins
Twins by themselves ez
on oubliette after the drop down after the first event, with the side room with 2 different boss triggers and a twin trigger that can all go off at the same time
Its when it's specials elites and another boss it's hard
Twins are such bullshit
or 4 bosses and armour blob kiting through rooms in warren ๐ญ
why?

There's a point where difficulty becomes cheese and fun fades
That was just bad luck
I love finding that one railing wiht no ledge
the chaos spawn and poxburster conspiring for the perfect assasination attempt
Cuz it's bullshit
Whatever Dev made those random gaps in railing is a devil
It's still bullshit
speaking of which, the havoc i just won, twins didn't spawn at all
I just don't find any part of dealing with them enjoyable
OMG DOM.
Not as fun a combo, but I have been have more incidents of dogs staggering me as I'm escaping fire.
This patch has been dog training.
It really emphasizes team work to succeed with and the game itself is mostly catered to randoms
So the biggest difficulty is coordination
Dogs on their way to jump on you for 0.00000001 nanoseconds and giving you 1/4 bar of corruption from it
Great if you got a stack on comms. Everyone else struggles
i didn't really do the "teamwork" part with you guys. just kinda went "HEY LOOK. BONK CHANCE."
the ai has gotten so smart with its combo attacks for sure
dogs on their way to jump someone else and stunning you because you're within 10 meters of them
Yea I mean if you got the damage to invalidate them like that you just remove them from the equation lol
Me with immaterial focus 
Maybe we should read the forbidden texts we find. 
But most people aren't playing boss one shotters
it probably looks like this :
vet also has a pretty silly build that kills bosses really fast.
not 1 shot but really really fast

truly eldritch summoning
My psyker is doing pretty good boss damage currently
faster than that though. it's really funny.
I'm sure. But I delete hordes Too lol
I never see vets cooking
Not if your team runs away to chase a single poxwalker and you're alone versus both twins. I'm not good enough to survive that.
most vets are bad
Like they do good boss damage but never hitting the hordes well
sorry. was me.
these days twins get me by pushing me into the stink mines generally, otherwise they are pretty manageable
power sword swiss cheeses hordes. but a lot of vets don't use it cuz it's kinda uncomfy to use imo
or the random plasma pistol snipe when im focussed elsewhere
urgh i get hit by that too
Sry was me
BLAM BLAM you be dead now
I really wish I could play with the plasma gun
Most vets have their dodge and jump bound together
It's seriously 90% the melee twin locking onto me while my team is just relieved not to be focused, so I end up kiting for two minutes straight and throwing out fire and attacks when I have space. Then the team dies because they haven't killed the ranged twin either.
OH ALSO GUNSLINGER. that arb yesterday
ignored the sniper
and decided to rumage through chests instead
Bro had nothing to deal with it
yeah she is a bitch for real
and i got the bad luck of as the sniper fired i rounded corner
Why I didn't like his weapons
he could have literally killed the sniper first
THEN rumaged through chests
i had 0 ammo
Sry. I was trying to parry bullets.
With what?
He had the shotgun shield
with his gun. i mean shotgun shield can still snipe.
I'm not saying he was on point but I'm not a fan of the shotgun shield
im finally at the point where i can comfortably fight monstrosities or normal captains or rinda as long as theres not TOO much other stuff trying to murder me simultaneously. Its when youre the inferno psyker and everyone else is doing all they can to look busy fighting poxwalkers that things become difficult
I am not sure how boss targeting works, but the melee twin seems to focus whoever hit her last, swapping every 5-10 seconds.
and the sniper wasn't that far away in the first place
Ah. IDK. Too much going on that game
boss aggro in this game is an enigma
in VT it was simple, in this one it really does seem super complicated and obfuscated
doesn't the melee twin go for whatever target is standing solo? at least that's what i heard but that may be untrue
Yea like when your teammates shoot the DH and it aggros on you
plenty of times im not dpsing the boss at all and it will just randomly aggro on me instead of the 3 people bonking it
I can fight everything except Chaos Spawn fine solo. Captains are just slow as hell if you don't have good melee damage to bonk the shield
cspawn i have now learned is essentially the same as plogryn except it doesnt like to loop its slam as easily
Chaos spawn is a bastard
if people want me to bonk chaos spawn, they need to hold it slow or stopped for a lil.
Something about the spawn's attack pattern screws with me.
That thing hits like a truck. Can't really just sit there and tank it
yeah like when it overheads 19 times in the space of 7 seconds ๐
when youre trapped in a tiny room in a corner
Burgle is a pain to fight as melee when you're alone. Get clipped by the spit and you're done
the awesome thing about burgles is you generally never need to fight em alone
they are slower than you
if you kite it slowly and don't spring as fast as you can i can still kill it. like if you just slowly dodge back. i just can't do anything if you're sprinting as fast as possible
It pushed me into that corner, then bullied me
just kite em around and go for the res
cspawn easier with a wall to make it's hits more predicable
if it has players on either side of it, it can quickly switch its target after a combo
burgles are my favourite monstrosity by far
but yeah, bosses themselves are fine until everything else is around them
pogryns are honestly the easiest for me to 1 shot bonk though
they are super cute, and they love backshots
HIT IT FROM BEHIND
if you insist ๐
burgles i can generally get 1/2-2/3rds. i'm not good at actually hitting the pustle or it would be 1 shot
Dom likes doing things from the rear. noted
with bubble you don't even need skill for bon except whoever has aggro keep it in the bubble
very easy to 1 man
no bubble and short dodges tho, then its spicier
yeah bubble just makes Burgle a non factor
same as smoke nades make captains a non factor
I can't solo BoN, speak for yourself
place bubble, stand in bubble, stab it in face and dodge when it slams
Another player swiped medicae when I was at low health and they were at full.
Their excuse was that they wanted me to die so Iโd stop destroying the rations.
If thatโs not proof that the gatherers are filthy heretics, then I donโt know what is
heretics aboard the morningstar?
More likely than you think
We're all heretics
Things happen to people who do things. And Iโm a doer
yeah i wouldnt know i never do anything 
I shot a barrel to yeet someone off the map for collecting rations once
WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING
WHO WOULD GRIEF THEIR TEAM IN SUCH A WAY
abhorrent behaviour
you should be banned
Should be applauded
My bases were covered
barreling people or pushing bursters into them is despicable behavior and not funny at all.
Needless to say I stopped giving a shit about rations not long after
Very funny when it happens to people who deserve it, like Hexis maybe
hexis doesnt deserve it and thats what makes it funnier tbh
Anyone doing things counter productive to the teams success should be punted
..........................................
yeah imagine doing a bit of trolling and having fun in an inconsequential video game
Like people taking ammo and meds for no reason
straight to the gallows.
yeah or like killing a teammate with a barrel for doing the event
next time i'll push a poxburster into Dom
I blocked a player yesterday because they didn't enter the elevator to end the mission and killed poxwalkers instead
a guy blocked me today for not running bubble
We were at odds in our goals. Though one is believed to be detrimental to all of darktide kind
weak minded fool
I will unblock you if you promise to run it next time
the psyker does not concern himself with the opnions of blunts
wait what?
Thought bubble becomes near useless in later difficulties
scrubs want it in H40 because they dont know how to push gunners
I mean...if you switched in on loadout screen you kinda deserbe it
