they are very good

barren arrow
#

I have the damage with the helbore lasgun to just kill what is staggered, and I need hordes to DISAPPEAR a lot more than I need a bit of boss damage

#

i just feel like it's a bit more inconsistent with the boss stagger since it dont stick & you can't predict where your teammate is going to kite

#

unless it's on you, in which case

fuck

#

shout first ig

#

16s base cd upon ye

weary sable
#

Sounds a lot like panic

analog agate
#

Alright alright. Will expeditions be enough to bring me back?

weary sable
#

That is something only you can decide

spice aurora
#

i hope theres havoc expedition for ppl whose brains r broken and cant do other modes

zinc phoenix
#

this event is a mondo slog, think im done after a couple missions

#

its as bad as rotten armor or the mael with no ammo and endless cara spam

ripe obsidian
zinc phoenix
#
  • zero new mechanics
#

i mean rotten armor is legit the most boring thing ever

ripe obsidian
zinc phoenix
#

yeh but i want to play psyker not a nade class

#

and "you get free nades" is a boring mechanic

#

gimme back saint methalina shrines

ripe obsidian
#

Rending trauma does well enough

#

I did the event 50/50 rending trauma and melee scum

loud girder
#

the event is ruined by 1 billion bulwarks

#

i dont mind crushers and reapers but its so ass when u get stunlocked by 20000000 angry bulwarks

analog agate
#

Really saddened me they kept going with their shitty havoc system instead of improving aurics/mael and giving us more maps

ripe obsidian
#

Imagine getting new maps

analog agate
#

I haven’t been paying attention since September. Has there been any new maps since the snow one

ripe obsidian
#

It's almost certainly a management issue. New maps, I imagine, don't drive sales. For some reason.

ripe obsidian
#

It's actually very good.

analog agate
#

Ohhh yes. It is a mini map like rolling steel

ripe obsidian
#

No Man's Land. Trench warfare outside the city.

analog agate
#

I did play that

#

It was cool

ripe obsidian
#

Longer than Rolling Steel, but still short

#

Is like 15-20 minutes

#

And everyone dies in the open sections because they split up and panic

zinc phoenix
#

bulwarks are great, bulwark spam is intensely boring. crushers are a neat mini boss. crusher spam is a bunch of healthsacks that have to be ground down

#

and then they spice it up with burster spam which fine trauma slaughters those but like its just not fun to play

#

like half the time i cant see the map because im surrounded in fat ass og corpses

ripe obsidian
#

This is fair.

fathom adder
#

And there's just the visual clutter of spamming big tall wideboys at you, screening for the skating Maulers winding up behind them

True

#

I'm a Branx diehard (until we get those hammers)

barren arrow
#

crowd clear and single target damage?

#

yummers

barren arrow
#

Personally I am a massive fan of the not-so-humble shovel of "Put into sport mode to onetap a crusher"

buoyant maple
#

wtf how

barren arrow
#

well when compared to a flamethrower

#

you see

#

vet doesn't have a flamethrower

#

but like i said I think I just need to embrace the shredder

#

you already get so many grenades as vet, using shredder nades would probably do so much for me

loud girder
#

kid named power sword

barren arrow
#

power sword is some of the best cleave in the game on demand, and with brutal momentum you don't even need it powered to wave clear I am aware

dusk timber
#

power sword is one of the best melees in the entire game

barren arrow
#

but you see, i'm a psyker main, and having to use my brain in melee is a novel experience

#

I am regularly unfamiliar with stamina management

#

"wym i can't just block the rager's attacks for 5 seconds straight"

jovial juniper
barren arrow
buoyant maple
#

power sword is not as high cleave as people like to think it is
and even with BM, the unpowered attacks are still atrocious

barren arrow
#

if you literally only hit the head

buoyant maple
#

yea, neither holds true lol

hearty wolf
#

There's unpowered attacks on the power sword? kek

barren arrow
#

gamer out here just saying nuh uh

buoyant maple
#

yea cuz I actually know

hearty wolf
#

I'm not sure I've ever cleaved through a single poxwalker on an unpowered but

#

Hit

dusk timber
#

power sword has about 10 cleave on powered attacks

hearty wolf
#

I'm pretty sure the air resistance sometimes even stops it from hitting the first enemy lmao

jovial juniper
#

The what

buoyant maple
#

power sword activated atks have 10.9 cleave

#

which is high but not nearly as high as people like to think it is

hearty wolf
#

I guess something to consider is a cleave per second value

#

Since your attack speed is pretty jacked if you're block cancelling correctly

jovial juniper
#

Simply have infinite cleave

buoyant maple
#

that's irrelevant

jovial juniper
dusk timber
buoyant maple
#

at base no

#

I still prefer BM overall

#

I actually changed a bunch of my weapon setups

fathom adder
barren arrow
#

i kinda just thought that was to be inferred

dusk timber
#

because if youre taking brutal momentum youre not taking sunder

barren arrow
#

Correct, I've used it both ways

#

I prefer brutal momentum, but sunder is also great cleave

buoyant maple
#

having to play >50% of the game is pretty new to psykers

barren arrow
#

veteran just isn't as defensively strong as the other classes are in melee

#

He doesn't have the stagger of oggy/zealot, or the sheer amount of damage & tankiness that a psyker has

buoyant maple
#

when was zealot good at stagger again

barren arrow
#

relic

#

stagger scab ragers for free

buoyant maple
#

relic blade?

barren arrow
#

which the power sword can do when powered

#

yes, relic blade

buoyant maple
#

power sword is just better than relic blade lol

barren arrow
#

Not for frontlining without backing up for space

buoyant maple
#

yes for frontlining lol

ripe obsidian
buoyant maple
barren arrow
#

i don't mean holding a choke, I mean when you literally don't have space to dodge

#

like the power sword is really good

#

but the relic blade & power falchion just have longer duration

#

also zealot has martyrdom which is very silly

buoyant maple
#

is this fr

dusk timber
#

lmao falchion

buoyant maple
#

falchion is <half of power sword's dps

#

relic blade with martyr gets to maybe 80% of power sword's dps

barren arrow
#

is that dps beyond

#

3 swings?

buoyant maple
#

with slower atks for stagger

barren arrow
#

also dps wasn't the question, it was horde clear

#

and the attacks on a martyrdom zealot are not slower than the power sword

buoyant maple
#

yea, both are worse than power sword in that regard lol

#

falchion is way worse

barren arrow
#

yea that's fair for the falchion tbh

#

not charging is nice, but it is pretty buns

dusk timber
#

i kinda wish relic and falchion had some way to actively lower the heat gauge

barren arrow
#

The heat gauge does decrease quite quickly tbf with blessings

quartz barn
#

does falchion still do less dps than uncharged relic blade?

buoyant maple
dusk timber
barren arrow
#

yes, it is a good weapon

buoyant maple
#

relic with full martyr juice is ~2.5k carapace dps without ult use
falchion on a regular vet build is ~3k, without losing crits

#

I made the mistake of looking at the top Psyker builds on Gameslantern out of morbid curiosity.

#

They sadden me.

#

I do use macro to click light attack fast as possible

#

and to active powersword and swing right away

#

finger hurt

buoyant maple
#

I also just think macros are boring & unfun

#

but that's just me, idrc what others do

hoary glacier
mighty cipher
#

The only macro I basically advocate for the use of is basic full-auto Scripts. Makes playing with weapons like the TacAxes and Laspistol less painful to play with.

#

Macroing cancels or things of that nature though is where I draw the line.

ripe obsidian
#

I use Skitarius for full-auto LMB, but that's about it

spice aurora
#

single action macros are moral in all games imo xD

ripe obsidian
#

The expeditions are about collecting tech-remnants. Fatshark pls.

This time it does feel like theyre actually building up to mechanicus class reveal

ripe obsidian
dire wharf
#

I thought the next class release would have 2 classes being released at the same time

radiant frigate
#

but why

rich spindle
#

Mechanicus is going to be able to fly and apply datarot which stacks 62 times and has a universal ADM of 15

ripe obsidian

#

genuinely how tf am i supposed to counter a staggered stream of bursters

#

you shove one and immediately after that another dives at you

tepid python
#

let your team mate die doing it in your stead

tepid python
#

then gaslight them "wow you cant handle a pox line, you should probably keep doing it for practice"

hoary glacier
#

I just hope it's not controversial like the hive scum

like 30sec into the game

#

#

if its not ad mech more people will mald

#

it was funny

#

i know someone who quit darktide because it was HS not ad mech and lost their shit when they found out i played DT and didnt mind hive scum

loud girder
#

at this point maybe people shouldnt headcannon a class and get mad if it aint the class the devs want to feature Haha

zinc phoenix
#

if other people die when they go boom, well, thats a price im willing to pay for safety

#

@spice aurora soulguilt scan 87% on my melee build

another sub-30 H40 for my collection

spice aurora
#

i guess i use slow weapons so i dont get it much xD

ripe obsidian
#

This is maul + shield

#

it's a 10 second long buff

zinc phoenix
#

I wish the devs would make more complex enemies to fight and not just spam ever more carapace units

cedar pine
#

psyker is fun

hallow vector
#

instead of pushing

#

hard to do when they diving at you ykwim

hallow vector
#

well dont let them get close

upbeat kestrel
#

Less carapace on field

solemn atlas
#

How come I never see any psyker use the speed loader revolver?

long saddle
#

the hip fire mark?

upbeat kestrel
#

It just falle over with crusher buffs for the most part

#

Because it was suprisingly good into crushers with scriers gaze and handcannon on it

storm rose
#

is there a good way for psyker to handle crushers? theres like 1000 crushers per mission now

#

i find the 'best' way is to just stab them in the noggin but thats not what i generally want to be doing as a psyker

long saddle
#

FGS is peak psyker tbf

#

voidblast is p good in terms of ranged options

#

psyker is p good with brute forcing armor spam with soulblaze spam

storm rose
#

so just shriek and pray?

long saddle
#

if you want to cosplay as some wizard ig

#

the best psykers utilize everything tho

#

because you can just run deimos force sword and heavy a crusher like two times in the head and they fall over because of its insane stagger

storm rose
#

ive just been playing HS over the last couple weeks, erasing 500 crushers with 1 rocket and now im back on psyker and i got this baby zdps cricket lighter tickling crushers

long saddle
#

then go with a melee build with FGS and DD stacking

#

you two tap any crusher on auric, idr if with enough stacks you can one tap

#

using heavies that is

#

and then you can just cleave through hordes and power up your warpslash for even more damage

#

you can just do this with inferno and a blaze sword tho

#

force pushes trigger uncanny strike, giving you rending to your soulblaze stacks

storm rose
#

interesting ill have to try that

#

the only thing i was missing on psyker was anti-carapace so if that solved it gg

#

will ahve to modify my build a lot though i rarely used scrier's

long saddle
#

yeah psyker has never really struggled with carapace, only when thinking one weapon or blitz can handle everything

#

there's great builds for most things you'll ever need in pinned

#

will also help you filter out some bad talents or blessings you might be running

long saddle
zealous mango
#

Psykers really are the weirdest specimen

#

Need to use weird powers to make a difference

jade karma
#

is the voidstrike staff just as good at stun bombing compared to voidblast

long saddle
#

no

jade karma
#

whats voidstrike for

long saddle
#

memes

jade karma
#

???

long saddle
#

it's the worst staff

#

but it's not awful

#

just doesn't do anything meaningful that other staves can't do better

#

you can just use it for a bit of fun

zealous mango
#

me like the magical orb staff

#

but it is a bit mixed sometimes

long saddle
#

ig it has the best boss potential if you can land consecutive weakspot hits

jade karma
#

how do i use the flamer staff

#

burn things then pop vent?

zealous wing
#

charge secondary to about 45% or lower, only vent if armour/overload/enemies out of range

quartz barn
#

Its main use is to clear hallways instantly with a well placed shot

#

But with the extra resistances enemies have in havoc youre better off using any other staff

radiant frigate
#

voidstrike still good outside havoc

quartz barn
#

This

#

But if you dont oneshot it loses its purpose

radiant frigate
#

people used to say it's only good in hallways when really it's good everywhere else
hallways are where it becomes oppressive

quartz barn
#

Works in auric, not in high tier havoc

#

Ye you usually position yourself to line everything up, even outside of hallways

#

Also a solid sniper staff

#

#

Hello siblings have yall workshopped out any loadouts that aren't bb/bubble shield for the new gamemode

#

I'm wondering how good would DD be if at all considering it only marks enemies closer than 40 m

long saddle
#

surge surge can make it work

zealous wing
wraith sphinx
#

Psure any enemy with a gun can open fire on you beyond the 40m range

zinc phoenix
wraith sphinx
#

Assail also has a max range of 40-45 m,l

long saddle
#

aimed right?

wraith sphinx
#

I may re/make a brainburst ilas psyker build for shits and giggles lol

#

Depending on the level of absence of traditional melee trashmob hordes, WS/DD may not even be all that effective in the new mode. But I'd have to actually play the new mode to infer that lol

zinc phoenix
#

I don’t think Fatshark remembers where the - button is so I fully expect the new mode to be a jam packed the mosh pit

#

Like if you want to play the “navigate around patrols” mode you can already dump the diff down to heresy and the enemy density is low enough to avoid some baddies

radiant frigate
#

do we know anything about the new mode other than locations

wraith sphinx
dusk timber
#

And also that it will be on the 17th

radiant frigate
#

at the end of bruteski blastovic?

#

convenient

zinc phoenix
#

The event seems to be intended to train players on dealing with crushers and bursters 😂

fathom adder
#

The event seems to be intended to make players skip all that bullshit and just press the funny missile button

i hate when that happens

#

i want to fight the armor blob and i am denied

icy breach
zinc phoenix
#

And my complaint remains that it’s the least interesting event we’ve had with nothing new about it

hoary mauve
#

Snipers can shoot through walls & floors already and isn't their max range 95 meters or something?

Sometimes the devs sound like they've never played the game.

zealous mango
#

Just shoot them back

hoary mauve
#

Ja, I know. I'm just bored and nitpicking the dev blog 🙂

zealous mango
#

But you know people gonna be complaining about that onbreddit

# zealous mango Just shoot them back

I have an instance recorded where i can’t shoot a sniper +100m away despite clearly aiming at him (bolt pistol used)
They can shoot us; we can’t

ionic burrow
#

What staff does the most single target damage? is it the inferno?

#

was looking to play something besides inferno and was hoping there was a good crusher or boss nuke but I have very little experience with the staffs

dusk timber
#

Staves dont really do boss damage from what i know

#

EK has good single target but its mostly a specialist/elite sniping ranged with infinite ammo

ionic burrow
#

I think I can work with that, thanks

#

What does the setup look like for that? I have one that I put crit stuff on

zealous wing
#

boss, best stave for it is EK

#

still poor, but

#

its something

dusk timber
jovial juniper
#

Not a single mention of Voidstrike

#

When at its peak it could just get rid of crushers in a blink

True bri'ish

#

I suggest the latter

icy breach

#

if you run blazing trauma yeah

icy breach
summer prairie
#

bb max range is 100 too

deft stump
#

You mean, flurry boom, boom, boom, boom, BB.

icy breach
#

Staff has little to do with it (unless inferno then… well… unless you abuse macro/mods to spam left click its slower than the balls)

zealous wing
#

staff could work if you take empyric shock tbh

#

prime the monster with it a lil for extra warp damage for BB

icy breach
icy breach
deft stump
#

I was goofing around with rending flurry.

icy breach
#

Cause its left is slower than the balls of all 3 other staffs

zealous wing
#

i've been enjoying my rending surge trauma tbh

icy breach
ripe obsidian
deft stump
wraith sphinx
#

rending flurry is the only voidblast build I enjoy tbh

#

it feels nice to have the means to helps everyone with carapace spam, not just yourself

quartz barn
#

I massively pref it over the soulblaze setup ye

#

Mostly because trauma is fun and rending is just more about the staff than funni blue fire

quartz barn
#

Far distance hits take practice tho because you cant really see the circle

#

Also stairs

deft stump
ripe obsidian
#

These stairs go up, dawi!

deft stump
#

So I'm basically firing blind and judging based on where the last boom was.

ripe obsidian
quartz barn
#

I just look up and do it based on feel

#

Also speaking of stairs, you kinda want to hits those at max range

#

Because the main reason you hit under them is because you usually aim through them when looking down

#

Like you have to hit the actual steps

#

If you look up the circle usually floats above the floor and will atleast hit something

deft stump
tawny crest
#

cant upload a pic for some reason but I got inferno staff with 61 at the dump stat (everything else is at 80)

#

guess its a bug but funny one

ripe obsidian
#

You cannot upload pictures because your name is gray

quartz barn
#

Grey name moment

#

Just chat and itll change to red at some point

#

Or spam in zealot chat thumbsup_ogryn

ripe obsidian
#

Weapons with an extra point or three are a result of Fatshark using hidden decimals and rounding

#

They're only available through Melk nowadays, I believe

#

But used to be possible from any source

quartz barn
#

Brunt also has them

#

Rarer than before tho

ripe obsidian
#

Does he? I thought those were gone

tawny crest
#

oh didnt know about the color and the stat

ripe obsidian
#

My best is a heavy evis that's like 383 or 384. Stat spread isn't ideal, but it's funny

quartz barn
#

Before if it said 60/4x80 there was still a chance youd get a 61/81 roll

tawny crest
#

it was 60 when I bought it and after upgrading it it was 61

ripe obsidian
#

Ah, Fatshark math

quartz barn
#

Still a thing huh

#

Doesnt matter tho, only visual

#

Before it actually impacted the stat...

tawny crest
#

shame my main weapon is trauma staff I just wanted to have all staff with perfect stats

ripe obsidian
#

That likely means that two or more other stats are actually like 79.6, resulting in the last one being 60.6

ripe obsidian
ripe obsidian
#

I wouldn't worry about it

quartz barn
tawny crest
#

ofc

#

I wont bitch about 0.4 stat

ripe obsidian
#

It only matters on like 2 weapons, and neither of them are Psyker weapons

tawny crest
#

which?

ripe obsidian
#

Plasma gun and... I wanna say ripper

tawny crest
#

never used them XD

#

i am in my pysker phase in the game right now

ripe obsidian
#

Plasma needs a specific stat spread for maximum shots before cooldown. Ripper needs like 64% ammo to get blaze away to stack every 1 bullet instead of 2

frail oar
ripe obsidian
#

I don't play Oggy or Vet very much, so I am not the best resource there.

frail oar
#

Isn't there a point on cloud radius for the flamer or something

tawny crest
#

havnt played them yet anyway they are the 2 class I still dont have at 30

ripe obsidian
#

I'm not sure about cloud radius.

#

Technically 76% burn is the highest necessary for inferno stick, as that's where you hit 15 stacks. But the extra 4% has a hidden, albeit small, improvement to stack rate

ripe obsidian
#

Which is funny, because my first ~400 account levels were almost exclusively heavy evis zealot

tawny crest
#

I started with zealot since I came from vermntide but after maxing him I understood he is not that fun to me

#

arby is amazing because of him I came back to the game

#

and thanks to the guide here I finally understood how to enjoy psyker

#

the lvling was so horrible

ripe obsidian
#

It looks like 0% burn would be 0.5 seconds between stacks, and 100% burn (not reachable) is 0.25 seconds between stacks. So 80% burn is 0.3125 seconds between stacks and 76% burn is 0.329 seconds between stacks

#

So, uh, about a hundredth of a second. Ha.

ripe obsidian
#

And yeah, I think Arby is the best class for new players. It's straightforward and forgiving of mistakes.

#

Has anyone seen a poxburster up there in Consignment yard? It's right above the first respawn point

#

the absolute disrespect to ainz smh my head

ripe obsidian
#

Does anyone here happen to have an Inferno that's sub-80% burn? As close to 0% as possible. I am trying to figure out a code thing.

#

But I am not at home so I can't screw with it myself

#

Also, isn't it like 7pm in Sweden? Where's the expeditions trailer?!

muted grove
#

i havent played in a long time, whats the meta psyker build now? is rat still around with his build? haha

pale prairie
pale prairie
tawny crest
#

But I recommend the BONANZA guide as well

#

Updated 1 month ago

ripe obsidian
#

Rat is a very good player and his build works wonders for him, but if you aren't hitting 8 million apm, you won't get the same results.

#

The general meta for Havoc Psyker is Inferno + Bubble. That's like 90% of random psykers.

Inferno + Shriek is stronger but not quite as safe.

Blazing Trauma works with any of the three combat abilities, but Scrier's Gaze is probably the best for unlimited kaboom.

Rending Trauma + Shriek has been doing well for me, but I am still debating the final talent point in the build.

Other viable builds are Surge Surge (left-click EK) with Shriek or SG, melee psyker with SG (or flat shields if you're clever), bubble knight (melee + bubble), and... Hm, that's about all I see regularly.

#

Right-click focused EK is pretty eh. Voidstrike struggles hard in Havoc.

#

I see gun-focused Psykers rarely, but I am almost always disappointed.

thorn cedar
#

thats cause i move too fast to see

ripe obsidian
#

I've honestly never seen you play

#

see?

#

so fast

ripe obsidian
#

Are you NAE or NAW?

#

ripe obsidian
#

What's your Psyker's name? I maybe have seen you, then.

thorn cedar
#

oh that wont be much help

#

Jacinthe

#

its a generic randomized name from the game

ripe obsidian
#

Nope, no idea

#

I guess it depends on what difficulty you play. I mostly just trawl party finder

#

p much always doing aurics and havocs

#

like 9/1 split

also i think your sleep schedule is monstrosily fucked up or something

#

youve maybe seen me play while watching someone else stream their own gameplay, thats about it

ripe obsidian
#

Neato. Update on the 17th

#

I fear whatever nerfs might be coming to Psyker.

radiant frigate
#

i was relatively unimpressed

ripe obsidian
#

The difference in Inferno stack application rate between 76% burn and 80% burn appears to be 0.343 seconds versus 0.338 seconds. So if you have a 76% burn roll Inferno staff, you're missing out on one extra stack of fire every... 200 seconds(?) of continuous RMB fire. You fools!

I saw a psyker once

ripe obsidian
verbal thistle
#

Idk what this is but I find it funny

ripe obsidian
#

It appears to be a scalie wearing boxers tapping its foot impatiently

#

Scaly? Scalie? I don't know how it's spelled

#

Furry but reptile

keen cargo
#

Guys.. they added a new talent to psyker where you can use peril to generate ammo for yourself

pale prairie
keen cargo
ripe obsidian
# pale prairie Scalie feels…..aggressive

I think that's the proper term for them, tho. It's not a corner of the internet I am very familiar with, so I can't say for certain. And I don't really want to look it up

(Gods I wish my brain bullets had sounds as satisfying as a shotgun mulching enemies)

#

Yeah, a new staff would be fantastic.

pale prairie
#

As long as it’s coded more obtuse

#

finished item system would be even more amazing

ripe obsidian
#

The item system is in a fine place now

It's quite easy to get the weapons you want

it doesn't make sense

pale prairie

Because numbers silly

ripe obsidian
#

Nothing Fatshark does makes sense.

vagrant cedar
#

whole game is a copy of vermintide

ripe obsidian
#

...? I guess? One would expect a Tide game to have the same gameplay loop

pale prairie

#

And they coordinated Arby's launch with the Arby DLC for Rogue Trader

#

Turns out Atoma is a tomb world, and Hadron fiddles with the beepboop robots inside to make drones for her subordinates to pilot

#

Mystery: solved

#

@ripe obsidian since I'm not a playtester I can share this

#

Wow someone put so much work into a meme

Like, today I was looking at the Inferno stick's burn stat. In game, it says you can get 8 to 16 stacks of soulblaze from 0 to 100%. But in the code it's 4 to 20. Except it's 25% to 75% of 4 to 20. And then that's capped at 80%, which is actually 14.4, which rounds up to 15. And if you have 76% burn it's 14.08, which still rounds to 15.

jovial juniper
#

Fatshark moment

ripe obsidian
vagrant cedar
#

they do like number 80%

ripe obsidian
#

The rounding is inconsistent. Some places round up, others down

#

Like, crit chances are always rounded down

#

75.999% crit chance is 75%

vagrant cedar
#

there's girl math

#

and then there's shark math

ripe obsidian
#

Fatshark's combat and level designers are generally great. Art design is fantastic. Code implementation is confusing, and they're very slow to make fixes and changes.

cosmic cobalt
#

me when return to the reik

ripe obsidian
#

I have heard a couple people say Fatshark is working on a new game in Unreal instead of Bitsquid/Stingray

#

But it is an unsubstantiated rumor

#

My hope is Age of Sigmar, fightin' rats in space

pale prairie
#

I mean…..choosing a retired engine feels like a bad move

pale prairie
cosmic cobalt
#

skaven

ripe obsidian
#

Fatshark is the developer that created Bitsquid, and they're the only studio to use it extensively

ripe obsidian
#

Using your own engine is a lot less expensive than leasing it from Epic

cosmic cobalt
#

plus switching engine is hard

ripe obsidian
cosmic cobalt
#

since you kinda have to relearn everything

vagrant cedar
#

vermintide had that, and they brought it to darktide as well

Arrowhead was definitely not bigger, financially, than Fatshark prior to HD2. I don't know about after

pale prairie
ripe obsidian
#

Autodesk retired it

pale prairie
ripe obsidian
#

Fatshark didn't

pale prairie
ripe obsidian
#

Fatshark sold bitsquid to Autodesk, who rebranded it then killed it

pale prairie
#

Lmao

ripe obsidian
#

Yeah, they sold it to finance Vermintide 1

ripe obsidian
pale prairie
#

Yeah

#

That’s crazy margins haha

ripe obsidian
#

"Tencent purchased 15.75% of Arrowhead’s shares in July 2024 for approximately USD 83 million, with the Helldivers 2 developer valued at SEK 5.1 billion (USD 532 million approx). The report also provides us with some new figures for Arrowhead, with the company reporting a turnover of SEK 959 million (USD 100 million) and an operating profit of SEK 729 million (USD 76 million)."

vagrant cedar
#

would be curious to find out how much darktide brings in

#

can't be more than few hundred k

ripe obsidian
#

"In January 2019, Tencent acquired about a 36% stake in Fatshark in a deal worth approximately 500 million kr (around US$56 million).[6] Later, in January 2021, it was reported that Tencent had acquired a majority stake in the company valued at around 2.2 billion sek (around US$260 million).[7]"

#

2021 is before Dorktide, though, so who knows how it changed

pale prairie
#

I don’t like these tencent moves

ripe obsidian
# vagrant cedar can't be more than few hundred k

I found a survey saying 28% of people self-reported buying microtransactions in video games in the last 3 months (from before they were asked). If we're conservative and say that in 3 months (6-7 shop rotations) 28% of the average 10000ish steam players purchased... 1 cosmetic set for like 3000 Dorktide funbux (is that like $30? Not sure), it's only $84000. Which is definitely too low to sustain a studio of this size. But if you add in Playstation and Xbox players, and assume people are purchasing 2 or 3 or 4 sets, the number goes up quickly.

#

Plus DLC purchases and base game purchases

#

But unless they release a revenue report, it's entirely baseless speculation

pale prairie
#

Soulblaze/Inferno is too OP and needs nerfed

ripe obsidian
#

:<

#

Most Inferno psykers I see are quite bad.

#

It's the top 1% of psykers that make psykers look OP.

#

(He said hypocritically)

manic bluff
#

henlo ^^ whats the best map for malleus monstronum?

summer prairie
#

Dome bubble cd increased from 45 to 60; shield buffed in some way

#

Havoc terror events has some elite overrides, should see more elites now but unclear whether this is just for the scripted parts

#

Oh 50% larger shield and 40s cd

ripe obsidian
#

Those changes seem fine.

spice aurora
#

Lmfao what the fuck is this

#

Ultrawide 32:9 odyssey g9 monitor

summer prairie
#

Psykinetic again slightly nerfed

quiet gorge
# spice aurora

New wall shield. Since bubble got nerfed I suppose wall will be more useful now.

ripe obsidian
#

So that'll be... 16 second minimum cooldown. Not counting the PA nerf.

spice aurora
#

All 3 wall enjoyers across all servers rise up

ripe obsidian
summer prairie
#

Malefic duration buffed from 8 to 10

ripe obsidian
#

Oh, dang.

summer prairie
#

50% over 5s

ripe obsidian
#

So -1 second of duration?

jovial juniper
#

Another 500 buffs to Psyker

summer prairie
#

Soulstealer from 7.5 to 5

ripe obsidian
#

Wait, it was 60%, not 6 seconds. Derp.

quiet gorge
#

The biggest problem is that Uncanny Strike still can probably stack with Flame Staff. That's the real issue.

spice aurora
#

Psykers new wall is a 2.3 monitor

#

2.3k

ripe obsidian
#

Uncanny should be melee rending only.

quiet gorge

No.

long saddle
#

bubble stocks going down might mean that I can always go shriek in h40

ripe obsidian
#

I'm like 90% Shriek and 10% SG

ripe obsidian
long saddle
#

yeah it's just that I'm not hosting my own so there's always expectations of others to consider

spice aurora
# ripe obsidian Art thou pleasèd?

it helps for open areas in some parts of the game, i guess for the new game mode but they just need to make it so nets no pass and dogs jumping thru it get actually stunned xD

long saddle
#

yeah it would be nice to stop infinite cleave nets

ripe obsidian
cosmic cobalt
#

every psyker is dps 💔

ripe obsidian
#

Not the randoms I see

#

I consistently outdamage even inferno + Shriek random psykers as shield + forceful Arby. And if I don't, they're usually only 10% or so above me in damage

#

But most randoms take bubble and hope to get carried

long saddle
#

can you send build? I've been thinking of doing arby havoc

ripe obsidian
#

Sure

long saddle
#

and I've always liked forceful

ripe obsidian
#

It has a couple preference picks, mostly in the keystone subnodes

#

You can easily drop Adamant Will or the toughness regen node and Arby Vigilant to get +dodge and +ogryn damage in the middle path

long saddle
#

it looks p similar to what I've run in the past I think

ripe obsidian
#

Or pick Drive Them Back for more cleave

long saddle
#

I prob just need to practice shield combos, I've mostly just done lights because lazy

ripe obsidian
#

But Arby Vigilant is +Strength, so it gives cleave, and it has 12 seconds of uptime

#

And the CC immunity from Adamant Will is just so nice

long saddle
#

yeah I love that

ripe obsidian
#

And this is my current gun-focused build. It is maybe not optimal, but it works well for me

#

Two examples

#

Easy to drop stuff like doggo bleed and ammo belt for other nodes

long saddle
#

no that's the same with ppl blurred in one lol

ripe obsidian
#

Oops

#

Meant to send this

#

Neither one was purple enemies, mind.

#

I didn't blur the trio because those goofuses screenshot me as well

#

But yeah, this ranged build does well enough. I plan to tweak it a bit this weekend, then probably have to change it again with the patch

vagrant cedar
#

like damn

ripe obsidian
#

They chose not to add a scoreboard to try to avoid toxicity

vagrant cedar
#

so hiding stats will someone make people feel better, rather than push people to be better at the game?

long saddle
#

you won't get teammates calling others out and shit like that

vagrant cedar
#

why not

#

you can see people doing stupid shit in game, live

#

you can call them out

#

how would a scoreboard prevent this

ripe obsidian
#

Why would I call anyone out?

#

I just play the game. Is not that serious

vagrant cedar
#

exactly, so it beats the point they are t rying to make

ripe obsidian
#

I would imagine lessons learned from VT2 and green circles

#

And it can be hard to remember who screwed up or who didn't contribute as much without hard numbers

vagrant cedar
#

i mean, don't know how you do it but, i can clearly tell during the game who carries the map and who's getting carried

#

if anything, stats just confirm it at the end

ripe obsidian
#

I don't pay that much attention

#

It doesn't really matter, and scoreboards don't account for every element of play

#

If I have a taunt Ogryn who did 20% my damage but never went down and kept pressure off of me, his score will look bad. Low kills, low damage.

long saddle
ripe obsidian
#

I can grab one when I get home

#

On the bus

weary crane
#

Yooooo flat shield is huge now

#

We might finally see the bubble meta break

ripe obsidian
#

Good.

#

Shield has been weaker than Shriek or SG for quite a while, imo.

#

But when their telemetry shows 90% of players across all difficulties still defaulting to bubble, something has to change, I guess

long saddle
#

yeah I see so many bubble

ripe obsidian
#

In Havoc in particular, shield goes down super quickly due to sustained fire, and it makes you so passive

weary crane
#

Well the cooldown was nerfed heavily, and psykinetic aura was nerfed AGAIN

#

It used to give an instant 5% cooldown for you and allies 😭

weary crane
#

Yeah but it havoc it will be destroyed in 5 seconds lol

limpid lily
#

hell, I think I played flat shield once or twice in H40

#

it's not SUPER bad but obviously bubble was still better overall

#

this will be fine

#

it's mostly ppl have NO IDEA how to play with the flat shield

#

it's like their brains just go kaput if the shield isnt bubble-shaped or sth

cosmic cobalt
#

dome is harder to fuck up

#

but now flat shield is way longer

limpid lily
#

let's hope ppl's brains NOT go kaput even with the long shield

#

surely not

spice aurora
#

walls are very tanky in havoc
dome is so big, bullets always hit dome
with wall, all the bullshit trash basically body block for the wall so the wall stays up for a long time almost always to keep doing special stuns

#

the longer wall lowkey kinda messes with that, hiding the wall in a horde lol

thorn cedar
ripe obsidian
rich spindle
#

That’s what I do too

#

Good taste

ripe obsidian
weary crane
#

Wait they removed the cooldown from the flat shield

#

So it's 40s?

ripe obsidian
#

I need a list of all the changes. I don't want to wait until Tuesday for the patch notes

#

My understanding is that scum got a bunch of buffs

#

Is scum the new Psyker? OP class that gets buffs because squishy?

rich spindle
#

They got pickpocket nerf at least

#

I think that puts psyker back on top

steady yarrow
#

Coming back with the new update, anything change for psyker of note?

ripe obsidian
#

Not that I can see

#

A few minor nerfs. Only notable nerf is longer CD on bubble

#

Potentially a major nerf on wall shield if they fixed the specialist damage bug

zinc phoenix
#

Wall buff?

ripe obsidian
#

Specialists are supposed to do 8 damage to the wall on contact

#

They do 1

#

The havoc terror event changes might make more events interesting. Like maybe it will allow all elites to spawn during every event

#

Crushers etc. missing from many events currently

zinc phoenix
#

I think they actually nerfed wall pretty hard

ripe obsidian
#

The shield takes 8 damage per direct body hit from specials and monstrosities, disappearing after 3 'blocked' body hits. Respects the 0.33s damage cooldown window which means that any amount of direct body hits from specials that happen within 0.33s of each other count as just 1 direct body hit taken.

There is currently a bug: Specials and monstrosities that touch the shield only deal 1 damage to it instead of 8.

#

Here

zinc phoenix
#

It’s cooldown is going 35 to 45 and the expanded size just makes it die faster

ripe obsidian
#

40s

zinc phoenix
#

Live is 45 base?

rich spindle
#

The fun part of shield was that it was perfectly sized for most chokepoints if you were smart about placement

zinc phoenix
#

And they said they’re removing the cooldown reduction from a wall node

dire wharf
#

Ooo

summer prairie
#

It's 40 now

zinc phoenix
#

Plus psyk aura is going to 50% from 60

dire wharf
#

I see there are some oldies in here

summer prairie
#

For non-dome

zinc phoenix

I see I failed to read that

#

Ok so slight cooldown nerf

dire wharf

Are there any guides that show all of the cosmetic store items that have been made available since launch?

zinc phoenix

Soulstealer nerf

summer prairie
#

But someone didn't get the memo

zinc phoenix
#

Ayyy that’s even better

zinc phoenix
#

Hit it again

rich spindle
#

I played a game with soulstealer instead of the normal quietude last night and it felt way worse

#

I guess cus it was purple

zinc phoenix
#

I agree, but a lot of people prefer soulstealer and it’s really strong

rich spindle
#

I think quietude is better in havoc

#

Might be a playstyle thing

#

Funny they didn’t touch purg at all

#

I think they know they can’t nerf it during purple rotation

Which is another meleeker buff.

rich spindle

lol

sturdy reef

I dont run it in meleeker anynore

#

Its good

Just not necessary

ripe obsidian

Soulstealer nerf feels like an indirect Inferno/Soulblaze nerf more than anything
