skitarii-class

[sterile tendon]

but i could be wrong and its psword 2.......

[wheat timber]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually rework the OG power sword

[sterile tendon]

i think the pfalchion was meant to be the option u go for if u want a reworked one

the problem is that its pfalchion

[wheat timber]

Because the relic + falchion style is infinitely more enjoyable, I don’t think the 7 power sword enjoyers would oppose to just having the weapon’s raw power reduced a wee bit so that it can stay on for a whopping 8-12 swings before cooking out

[acoustic dagger]

surely they would not do that...

[sterile tendon]

idk if fatshark wants to tank the negative reviews if they change psword too much

[wheat timber]

Like it can still be a more nuclear, high damage low cooling variant compared to the falchion just sucking butt cheeks

[sterile tendon]

surely...

[acoustic dagger]

I'm ngl I don't believe fs will give a shit so as long as the DLC sells well

[wheat timber]

With every new class release, the veteran community loses a bit of their crying power

Soon it’ll only be a whisper

[acoustic dagger]

arby and scum still have mixed reviews and most negative reviews are just either skill issue or some unhinged shit

[wheat timber]

The latter ones are always wild

Some lore nerd losing their marbles

Or just weird bones they have to pick

[pliant hollow]

Don't underestimate the Vets

[sterile tendon]

vets will soon have nothing left but its okay

[remote scroll]

the skitarri powersword is like vet powersword but 1000x worse
freak the fuck out, its fucking over

[sterile tendon]

quitting to play far far west instead

POV: Cole rn

[honest magnet]

arby is honestly quite boring.... powerful but get boring fast. hivescum is strong but, not my cup of tea i suppose, don't really like it

[sterile tendon]

i dont think arb can even die in auric

mission board so cooked

[wheat timber]

You still can, your team just has to be clinically braindead and you have to be running something super silly to not still just blitz it

[acoustic dagger]

I've seen some shit...

[wheat timber]

Infinite toughness generation until surprise trapper thru the wall crack

[sterile tendon]

3rd trapper got through the dog defenses....

[acoustic dagger]

why doesn't the dog just bite the net off? Is he stupid?

[onyx yew]

i saw one die to a barrel they shot and then kept running forward to

and then they complained

[wheat timber]

Not even Arb

Trappers are just cunts

[honest magnet]

clandestum gloriana . my only death is the first part

[sterile tendon]

hoping we get something higher than auric so i dont even have to think about h*voc again

[onyx yew]

whats the ideal for a difficulty higher than auric but not havoc

[wheat timber]

Lowkey wish Mael gets added to Quickplay queue

[sterile tendon]

literally havoc but i dont have to deal with party finder/derank

[acoustic dagger]

Maelstrom rework/expansion will finally happen, trust

[wheat timber]

But maybe we don’t need more unprepared fresh 30’s dipping their toes into DGXIV or whatever the letters are

[solar thicket]

Has anyone intersting been realsed yet about skitarii?

[sterile tendon]

uh check in game dark rites logs

it has like some info

[honest magnet]

uhmm.... auric maelstorm?

[acoustic dagger]

(I hate how maelstrom is the new auric heresy inasmuch it's where all the worst players are)

[onyx yew]

that already exists

[sterile tendon]

maels are still pretty meh

[wheat timber]

I find the opposite. Regular Auric is straight garbage cans and Mael is where you find everyone above cumulative level 200

Not that level indicates skill

[acoustic dagger]

maels are also just kinda stale I wish they rotated the modifiers

[wheat timber]

The worst players I’ve ever seen have been level 1000+ Ogryn

[honest magnet]

different region perhaps

[wheat timber]

Could be yeah

I’m in NA East

Play at zombie hours

I play on EU with my German buddy though and it seems somewhat consistent

[acoustic dagger]

I'm EU and when I recently played mael I was teamed with a dogshit russian smyker who was toxic as fuck and when he died to a crusher pack by tunnel visioning turbo hard he started shittalking us in chat

[wheat timber]

Oh that’s something I forgot

EU is a WIDE pool

[acoustic dagger]

"You don't have me to control the crowds now! You are fucked!"

[wheat timber]

You can just get idiot Russians…

I’m sorry yeah, that’s a nightmare

[acoustic dagger]

He unironically said that and it was the fastest block in the west

[sterile tendon]

lmao

[onyx yew]

control the crowds just kill them

[wheat timber]

I at least have my buddy so it’s only 2 chances of getting stupid teammates

[acoustic dagger]

golden title player too btw

[wheat timber]

But when I solo it’s NA so I get straight unemployed weaboos who usually know what they’re doing

[onyx yew]

did you win though

[acoustic dagger]

Yes

[wheat timber]

I just have to tolerate them having chat binds and meowing at us over VOIP

[onyx yew]

people meow at you in NA?

i gotta get the fuck over there

[acoustic dagger]

Is there a chat bind mod for darktide?

[wheat timber]

Nothing makes me happier than hearing a brand new friend say, “so does everyone who wears the true survivor title just suck?”

[onyx yew]

there's one that keeps spamming what specials they see in the chat

i know of that one

[wheat timber]

I doubt they’re typing as fast as some of the cringey lines are coming in

[sterile tendon]

real gamers equip the reject title then die to the crusher overhead anyway

[wheat timber]

cries in Arbites

[onyx yew]

keep the expectations low

[icy reef]

The short answer is yes, the long answer is yyyeeeesss

[wheat timber]

Cyber Falcon all the way

[sterile tendon]

stop being silly arbites cant die

[acoustic dagger]

I like my poxbreaker title 🙂

[wheat timber]

They go missing in action

I’m close to Poxbreaker

About 100k more

[icy reef]

I give my Scum the Opportunist title because it's funny and the Ogryn the Aspiring Interrogator title because it's also funny

[sterile tendon]

ogryn aura

[wheat timber]

My Scum has Ring Master lol

My Ogryn wears budding interrogator

[icy reef]

Budding Interrogator that's what it's called

[onyx yew]

there's no clown title so i use ring master for my hideous psyker

[wheat timber]

I like Remembrancer

All Mortis Trial audio logs one

Plus it’s purple

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-purple-i-love-being-purple-the-spongebob-squarepants-movie-gif-6889639021518488720

[acoustic dagger]

remembrancer is nice too

[sterile tendon]

im just getting the ultra rare awesome skitarii title

[acoustic dagger]

but I feel like a faker for putting it on because I can't bear playing mortis anymore

[little mesa]

I larp being a true survivor

Ive not played H40 in months

[remote scroll]

i like my fish title

[little mesa]

actually close to a year now

[wheat timber]

I’ve not played H40 since like the first iteration of havoc

[sterile tendon]

i equipped true survivor and got lazy with getting other titles

[wheat timber]

I can’t be arsed to peacock for a fireteam

It’s such weird energy

[acoustic dagger]

highest havoc I've ever played was 34 with some cool psyker chat regulars about a year ago

[sterile tendon]

its really not worth it

[acoustic dagger]

I just don't have fun on that mode

[flat thunder]

I got havoc titles and cosmetics no real reason to keep playing hav

[sterile tendon]

we're ltierally getting a SKITARII and still have terrible havoc

[flat thunder]

Unless you like the challenge

[wheat timber]

No it’s not. I just enjoyed carrying folks in the Hav 20’s on melee psyker to grind out the black cosmetics

[remote scroll]

i literally exclusively play havoc cuz auric is so fucking BORING

[sterile tendon]

its true

[acoustic dagger]

I got havoc cosmetics like 2 weeks after initial havoc release

[little mesa]

unless you like torture or somethin

[sterile tendon]

auric is eepy but havoc is hecking miserable with derank

guess i'll explode i guess

[remote scroll]

just get to 40

[wheat timber]

Havoc is like

[sterile tendon]

ughh i've gotten to 40 so many times

[wheat timber]

“Hey you know how most people don’t know how to build or have basic game sense?”

[onyx yew]

play mortis it's alive trust me

[wheat timber]

“What if that had consequences for YOU?”

[acoustic dagger]

derank and no quickplay

[sterile tendon]

just sucks to know its gonna derank in a bit anyway

then i have to do it again

[acoustic dagger]

joining rando lobbies is impossible shit is like a job hunt simulator

[mellow storm]

but I'm not good enough

[flat thunder]

I would like some hav modifiers in auric

[sterile tendon]

i mean

i COULD just play arbites and grind to h40

[wheat timber]

You think folks accept requests from Arbites players?

[sterile tendon]

no idea i avoid havoc like the plague

despite wanting harder content

[wheat timber]

There’s a redditor stigma or something

[flat thunder]

I told argus to run Arb and use the title and his acceptance got trippled

[acoustic dagger]

After 1.0 I mainly tried havocing with psyker and I got almost routinely rejected

[wheat timber]

You just get denied even if you’re a higher level than everyone there

[remote scroll]

theres a lobby of literally just 2 arbys for 40 right now

[sterile tendon]

lmao

no way arbys gets denied

[wheat timber]

Awe too bad I’m not home

[flat thunder]

Yum

[wheat timber]

Historically they did, not sure about nowadays

[sterile tendon]

the skill floor is so low for that class

[wheat timber]

I’m just talking out my ass

[remote scroll]

no its fine its one of the guys who fucking hates me

[flat thunder]

Lmao

[wheat timber]

[wheat timber]

Wild energy to have in a coop game tbh

[sterile tendon]

debating whether i grind to h40 for skit again

just to have it derank god

[wheat timber]

I had Dorn quit my lobby when I was playing smite gunker once

That shit had me WHEEZING

[sterile tendon]

owned

is bro jealous

[jagged marten]

Someones angyyyy

[wheat timber]

Everyone roasted Dorn for hogging all the resources and I come in playing recon las psyker

It’s a wonderful world

[wheat timber]

There’s a something poetic to knowing there’s community in jokes and notorious/famous players

I’m still jazzed I got to play Expeditions with Kuli once

[sterile tendon]

last expedition player

[flat thunder]

Review bomb voice

[acoustic dagger]

I played mortis with syllo once and he just fucking ignored me

[wheat timber]

Someone’s gotta write the guide 🚬

[onyx yew]

who the hell's dorn

[wheat timber]

Old player

[mellow storm]

dorn is that one guy

[acoustic dagger]

oh and I played auric mael with warudo a couple times that guy is cool

[wheat timber]

i somehow got a job before havoc got fixed

this is awful

[onyx yew]

is that one zealot player still around?

what was their name... celeste?

[sterile tendon]

deadlo...

[acoustic dagger]

I finished university before havoc got fixed 😭

[wheat timber]

At first I was gonna say “do you know how little that narrows it down”

[onyx yew]

No

[sterile tendon]

Probably

[onyx yew]

Still ragequiting after lvl 4k or sum

I've seen Celine once in the Morningstar it was like bigfoot

3k psyker

Scary

[sterile tendon]

nightmarish scenario

[onyx yew]

Hmm.

[wheat timber]

3k anything is wild

[acoustic dagger]

I'm probably 3k psyker by now too

but I uninstalled true level like half a year ago

[remote scroll]

very unlikely

[wheat timber]

I still become the Idris Elba hot ones gif when I see Arbites that are 1000+

[remote scroll]

im 1800 on zealot

[wheat timber]

Because like bro

[acoustic dagger]

oh

[onyx yew]

i like hearing about the cryptid players

[wheat timber]

Play your other chars

Melkbux are waiting to be earned

[sterile tendon]

cryptid

cryptic

[wheat timber]

Fresh lottery for Skitarii curios

[flat thunder]

Celine is the only person I've seen with anything above 2500

[onyx yew]

how many of yall play all classes somewhat evenly?

[wheat timber]

just not Ogryn

[sterile tendon]

i sure do not like vet

[flat thunder]

I play vet, zealot, and Arb the most

[onyx yew]

all or a lot of the classes

[acoustic dagger]

I play everything but zealot

I just prefer psyker and scum the most

[wheat timber]

Everything but Ogryn/Vet typically

[flat thunder]

Psyker is plus 100 but I don't play og or scum

[onyx yew]

i was keeping them even but scum fucked up my count

[wheat timber]

Vet I can still get by with Lucius shovel build but it’s just boring

[acoustic dagger]

I have fun with infil vet builds

[onyx yew]

oh i'm a fucking idiot i thought when you said og you meant you don't play any of the four original classes

[acoustic dagger]

I like my smoke exe stance vet too

[onyx yew]

you just play arbites???

and psyker??

[wheat timber]

I did make a second Arby

[jagged marten]

Ngl if i played purg only for 3k levels i would die from my neurons being fried

[sterile tendon]

i think it'd take like 10 levels of purg for me

[wheat timber]

I can’t play flamethrower staff period. I gotta melee

[onyx yew]

i can't fuck with purge at all

[wheat timber]

Being so passive hurts

[acoustic dagger]

ogryn I play tenuously, I only enjoy the hstub sniper build

[sterile tendon]

why do all the staves just kinda suck design wise

[flat thunder]

I like purge but I love surge

[wheat timber]

You don’t get any of that meaty inertia from the physics

[sterile tendon]

actually nvm launch dt

[flat thunder]

Surge staff is so fun just not very good past auric

Lame !

[onyx yew]

i like surge right click in a world of surge left clickers

[acoustic dagger]

launch dt? on god?

[sterile tendon]

launch dt wep design was way different tbh

[acoustic dagger]

oh I thought you meant launch the game lol

[sterile tendon]

idek what moveset obscurus wants to have LOL

[onyx yew]

i miss bolt staff ngl

i know there's voidstrike but its not quite the same

[wheat timber]

What drives me insane is how many don’t use the infinite ammo psychic flamethrower in FLAMMENWERFER mode

[sterile tendon]

not until skitarii...

[wheat timber]

They just bust tiny clouds at the enemy and die

[onyx yew]

ive had bad luck with purg players recently

[acoustic dagger]

I can't wait for skitarii 😭

[sterile tendon]

skit tomoro

[onyx yew]

i know its objectively strong but its so limp feeling

[wheat timber]

When we get to “(x)teen days” I’m gonna start vibrating from excitement

[jagged marten]

Vibrate like a transonic sword?

[wheat timber]

When we hit single digits, the pain will be crazy. But at least by then media embargo will be up so we can watch gameplay

[onyx yew]

i need to get my hands on that skill tree IMMEDIATELY

[wheat timber]

Remember the ones who didn’t live to see “Skitarii tomorrow (for real this time)”

[onyx yew]

rip to those who 'abandoned' the game when scum was announced

[acoustic dagger]

nah screw those lol

[remote scroll]

i literally seek out lobbies without it

and EVERY FUCKING TIME
SOMEONE SWAPS TO IT LAST SECOND

AND IM GOING TO STRANGLE THEM

[onyx yew]

what are the odds people know and recognize you

[acoustic dagger]

hopefully not too big

[wheat timber]

I’m sure others have explained the issues with purge staff more eloquently by now, but tell me if I’m crazy

Not unique to purge staff, but is it not infuriating when people use things like the staff/recon/AG to mow down chaff you’re lawn mowing? Because god forbid you happen to take a single sliver of toughness chip from misc gunner trash, if their infinitely spreading soulblaze disintegrates the first enemy you were about to melee from under your swing, and then you take a single whack from anything…that’s damage you wouldn’t have taken if you were actively being robbed of staying at full toughness from mulching the frontline? Like it might not even be significant, you’re nowhere near down, but that damage just stings on principle.

Or am I just overreacting because I have to stay more focused when some space wizard is incinerating my lifeblood?

Text wall oof ouch

[acoustic dagger]

I know I definitely wouldn't want to be recognized as some darktide nanocelebrity

[wheat timber]

It’s hard explaining a concept without getting wordy

Mb

[remote scroll]

it is but its like
the most infurating with purg

[wheat timber]

Okay sweet

[acoustic dagger]

I dislike purg staff because white snow clouds block everyone's vision

[wheat timber]

Im not just an autistic goblin freaking out over “muh kills” it’s just effecting my survivability

Thankfully the visual clutter doesn’t do me in too bad

I can totally understand why folks mod it out though

[acoustic dagger]

it's way too irritating for me

and also for the fact that purg users do some dogshit build like purg bubble smite so they're useless against ranged enemies which pubs love to fucking ignore

[wheat timber]

I have T-Rex eyes from ARMA. If there’s a vaguely humanoid target through all of the clutter, I can usually make out a remnant of it

Honestly I hate playing with anyone using type of las weapon more than anything

Because I always think those are enemy shots

Or a sniper

[acoustic dagger]

I mean same but purg fire is completely fucking opaque

[wheat timber]

My personal boss arena is the blizzard gauntlet from Dks2’s Crown of the Ivory King DLC

Surprise reindeer from the fog!

I guess it wouldn’t be too bad if it also obscured the enemy’s vision

Spamming psychic fire creates a minor smoke grenade effect

[acoustic dagger]

Real

Besides all that I also dislike purg for how unselective it is in targeting

With trauma and voidstrike I can do something cool like stagger a rear portion of a trash horde toward or away from a teammate or open bulwarks up by knocking them down, purg just covers the whole screen in white clouds

[pastel epoch]

I hope we get a "Hood down" version so we can see our own messed up, bionic face.

[opal thistle]

I have encountered celine (once), sally (once) and Mr Unc (thrice)

[young panther]

Think we're gonna get any news this month ?

Or only the next

[jagged marten]

Today

[mellow storm]

they've said we're getting the first dev blog this week; if I had to guess, likely within the next 24 hours

[young panther]

Oh good to know

Didn't catch that there will be one this week

Hopefully it's a big one

[haughty galleon]

Helldivers 2 microcelebrity is far worse I've lived it and it's constant pain.

[remote scroll]

because its fucking helldivers

[haughty galleon]

At least here you can get some form of comfort in knowing there are people of sound mind somewhere maybe

[foggy elk]

not me

anyone got any ketchup, this whole human thigh I'm eating is stringy

[young panther]

NGL I recognize Hall, Yamato, Aleph, Cole, Warudo, Cain's imposter syndrome off the cuff

Just because they talk here so much

[foggy elk]

I don't recognise any of them I think

But that might be timezones

[acoustic dagger]

Well yeah it's helldivers

[haughty galleon]

I used to be pretty well known for datamining and zealot stuff here but then helldivers took me. -1000 aura and they took my drip.

[acoustic dagger]

Biggest congregation of repulsive slackjaws on the pve side of online games

[haughty galleon]

That and the devs were actively hostile to the main thing I was doing for the community.

[icy briar]

datamining?

[haughty galleon]

Was the sole dataminer for a few youtubers, the wiki, and my own resource for a good bit of time.

Also did testing for weapon-related mechanics, mainly the flamethrowers.

[icy briar]

oh I know that, I asked you quite a few questions regarding claculations and dmg mechanics back then lol

but I can see why devs are generally distasteful of leaks and content datamines

[noble turret]

Not like its gonna stop literally anything

[acoustic dagger]

Wasted effort

[noble turret]

Just make it annoying and people annoyed

[acoustic dagger]

The datamining will continue

[haughty galleon]

From what I gathered it was a legal issue. Apparently I was at one point at risk of facing like actual court action or something, I don't quite recall the exact wording.

[noble turret]

The data mining will continue until statistic transparency improves

[icy briar]

honestly the datamining and leaks stuff lowkey ruined a good chunk of the playerbase.

cuz most of it isn't even 100% confirmed and people hold onto false beliefs

then get disappointed and blame the devs lol

at least back then

[acoustic dagger]

We can't help people that willingly huff copium like that

[icy briar]

im cool with that at least lol, it'd be a lot better if devs revealed more than just "durable dmg increased" lmao

let ppl know the actual numbers like dang

and see how little they affect things. Majority of the playerbase probably dont even know what "durable dmg" generally does and dmg calculations anyway tho...

[brittle mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/but-why-ryan-reynolds-gif-11562415

[acoustic dagger]

Talk about terrible priorities

[frail verge]

Deformation/ revealing of NDA content/ server tampering etc. what ever they could get to stick is probably what they would go for

Can't have players revealing what we got in the live files

[honest magnet]

but player doesn't sign NDA?? or do they?

[frail verge]

You might be depending on terms of services but yeah confidential company stuff can be legally protected as if under NDA if the layer is good enough/ persistent enough.

Like that rockstar hacker who released leaks of GTA 6 who got into shit

The law is generally on the side of whoever can fund the lawyers longer

[mellow storm]

you can't be held liable for NDA violations for an NDA you never signed, and no EULA would hold up as a viable NDA

[brittle mortar]

seems so unlikely that you could pursue effective legal action against any information that a player extracts from live files that you yourself have published through official channels.

[mellow storm]

that said, you can be sued for revealing corporate secrets if you did something sketchy to acquire them, such as hacking company servers to find in-progress game files

but "I analyzed shit I bought and installed on my own machine" is so far away from that, it's pretty laughable to think it would lead to a successful suit

[frail verge]

Doesn't always have to be to be legal just have to drag the case out long enough for the other party to call it quits

[mellow storm]

now, there's a difference between "the company would lose the suit" and "the dataminer can afford the legal fees to fight it"

and that's the scary area of SLAPP nonsense

[brittle mortar]

really disappointing from arrowhead if they threatened exhilious with that kind of thing.

[mellow storm]

yeah

[brittle mortar]

can't imagine fatshark ever doing the same. they leave lots of things lying around in the files that they shouldn't have but i've never heard of them taking action against anyone who uncovers it and points it out.

[mellow storm]

lol I'd be so fucked

[frail verge]

Nothing they leave really hurts their company in anyway but like Helldivers 2 it does sometimes hurt them because they leave a lot of their experiments in the files which they never actually planned on releasing

And Helldivers content creators latch to the leaks like prophecies then get mad when Arrowhead chooses money options over player freedom option

[uncut cloak]

as they should

[brittle mortar]

I don't see a meaningful difference. darktide players have been mad about the longlas/melta/2h chainaxe/etc. weapon sigils that were in the beta files but whose weapons have never been actually made for years now.

[mellow storm]

my kingdom for a thugshot

[frail verge]

EULA power depends on the nation honestly as some countries a company can put in their EULA that they can remotely brick your device if you modify it in any way eg. Nintendo.

[brittle mortar]

plus we don't know if FS might get in hot water with their stakeholders or IP partners if their unreleased content leaks before it was scheduled to be revealed

[uncut cloak]

sounds like their own fault

[brittle mortar]

ofc it is

[mellow storm]

god imagine if GW's trying to use DT as the first reveal for some new unit or faction twist or something and it leaks 6 months early

the crashout would be legendary

[uncut cloak]

would be funny, but GW knows better

[brittle mortar]

also in general I believe the prevalent belief is that it is not beneficial for overall hype if something is revealed through unfinished leaks or little tidbits instead of a proper polished unveiling that marketing has put their whole pussy in

[uncut cloak]

you mean like the trailers that use wrong audio

[frail verge]

Most of that was just release files, since then it's just small stuff and usually fatshark does the proper thing of giving it all code names and stuff so it's not obvious but does give a fun little Easter egg hunt for players who Stumble upon it.

[mellow storm]

i don't think such a reveal will ever happen, just cuz GW keeps all the important reveals for the tabletop game, but it would cool if it did

[brittle mortar]

I mean e.g. skitarii that had its full class description leaked in a ukranian store page localisation

it would've probably been even more hype if nothing had leaked at all and the skulls stream was the first anyone had ever heard of it

[frail verge]

Yeah don't know what happened there but it seems to have been the stores fault there

[frail verge]

For you probably but for others not so

It depends on the individual

[brittle mortar]

I can only guess but I think it's some kind of workflow problem with how they do localisation because stuff leaks in that process all the time

[mellow storm]

almost certainly it's because they have to use external contractors/teams for translations

that kind of stuff massively overcomplicates keeping things secure

[brittle mortar]

I still don't understand how it makes it into live builds

something in the way they compile their releases has got to be scuffed lol

[mellow storm]

oh that part is just bad release processes/quality review/etc

it's very normal for software dev, for better or worse

[brittle mortar]

I guess. I don't know anything about software development really

[brittle mortar]

why would someone get more excited by a small leak than by a nice cgi trailer with a jesper kyd soundtrack

I suppose you could argue that the little breadcrumbs of copium fueled the hypetrain

[frail verge]

It's just something you got to deal with unless you want mistranslations or no translation on release in a region.
The only way around having these issues is to have the entire translation team capable of translating to all supported languages on site and that's a bit unrealistic

[mellow storm]

the TLDR is someone is working on something, and then gets lazy for a commit and doesn't remove something that should be kept secret, meaning to clean it up later, but then they forgot about it. And the QA/code review process is too harried or undermanned to spot the one value holding something it shouldn't or referencing something secret, so it's merged into production and pushed out to customers

[brittle mortar]

thinking I suppose you could see it like an accidental and uncoordinated version of the cloverfield marketing campaign.

[mellow storm]

it's absolutely a process issue, but it's also an inevitable problem in dev unless everyone on the team is very committed to avoiding it

lol you're not wrong

[brittle mortar]

remember when people found a .wav file with the monster roar on a website somewhere after following some clues? man

i was so excited

[mellow storm]

i don't remember that actually, but it sounds like fun

I never actually watched cloverfield, i just remember people freaking out about it being godzilla meets blair witch or someshit

[icy mica]

huh, no embed? okay discord.

[mellow storm]

needs the http:// in front

[brittle mortar]

anyway before the trailer released you could find that file tucked away on their website somewhere

[mellow storm]

noice

[brittle mortar]

it's alright

actually I think it's pretty good

it didn't quite live up to the hype but it had a lot of cool scenes

[frail verge]

I find it so dumb that the bloody wilhelm scream is in the trailer.
I swear that sound bite will outlive me

[mellow storm]

if I'm ever in the mood for a monster movie, I'll go check it out

it's been almost a decade since the last time I actually watched a movie though

[mellow storm]

it will outlive the sun man

[brittle mortar]

wtf

[mellow storm]

i read and game

don't really watch tv or movies anymore

[frail verge]

Just play a Sony title and you will basically be watching a movie

[mellow storm]

lol fair

[brittle mortar]

tv i kinda get, shit takes forever

but movies are like 2h of condensed hypereffective entertainment

oh well different strokes

[mellow storm]

i just get bored passively watching things, tbh. Not sure if it's just being brainfried or not, but the active engagement from reading and especially playing the medium is far more effective

not like it really matters either way

[opal thistle]

ykw I checked up on skitarii class page on steam and there's this:
Whether you envision your Skitarii as a ruthless long-range assassin with deadly aim, a frenzied servant of the Omnissiah carving through flesh with a Transonic blade, or a walking storm of living electricity - all who behold you will cower.
seems like ranger / ruststalker / vanguard

but 4 branches so these 3 archetypes are prob spread out more

[mellow storm]

Yeah they're shorter but wider, from what I've gathered

I'm really curious to get my hands on the tree and try my hand at build crafting

[woven ember]

I saw similar and its why I am thinking power creep may happen. We will see of course

[full swift]

With the future inclusion of Skitarii, this brings Darktide's Crackhead index up to
Crackheads: 5
Feds: 2

[remote scroll]

imagine what the rest of them were

[proven storm]

That was still funny as hell I remember reading it and going "No way that's real" and then it was lmfao

Amusing find

And now we know why because its in the game when you open it

[mellow storm]

I choose to believe the tree was originally a mosaic of meme pictures that, zoomed out, created the Loss shape

[frail verge]

Or the 4th branch is servo swarm branch

[brittle mortar]

man i dont need a doctor to tell me that shit

[uncut cloak]

yeah that's what weapons do

So do yall think Skitarii is gonna be overpowered or undercooked?

[haughty galleon]

I think the mechanicus know how to avoid overpowering their batteries, but their flesh is raw so it could be said they're undercooked.

[cinder leaf]

So an Arbites could rawdog a Skitarii is what you're saying

[proven storm]

Definately overpowered lmfao

[lavish smelt]

Overpowered but also underpowered enough to cause review bombs for not being overpowered

[jagged marten]

[molten quarry]

I wonder how Drip-tastic the skittis will be

[karmic verge]

I went to bed but yeah sorta. Everyone has rules but not everyone has the potential for updates and stuff. Basically think of 40ks legends system, alot of factions are like that

[gilded osprey]

i hope that we get four color schemes like the hive scum

[pliant hollow]

Their base cosmetics are already the coolest outta all the classes AND they're getting Vanguard cosmetics from the looks of it so

Drippiest class tertium has ever seen

[molten quarry]

I wonder if we will get a "new" colour iconogrophy for Branx Minor

[jade thistle]

I imagine it'll be strict like the arbites truth be told.

[frigid monolith]

I just hope the forgeworld picks actually change the robes

And
I hope we get branx minor

[jade thistle]

Change what about the robes, the color?

Patterns?

[frigid monolith]

Yeah what else would it change

[jade thistle]

To which answer?

[frigid monolith]

[jade thistle]

If you mean color, why would they?

If I recall it has to do with old mechanicium wars, and reflecting the red sands of Mars.

As for Branx Minor, only Branx Magna is selectable as a planet for now, I guess only the AdMech may be found on Branx Magna.

Possibly.

Maybe.

[frigid monolith]

Because forgeworlds have their own colors (7th ed)

Branx Minor is just the forgeworld that supplies the cool red weapon mastered stuff

[jade thistle]

According to lore blub, Branx Minor, Branx Magna, and Atoma are the major industrial sectors, Atoma's old and aging badly.

[frigid monolith]

Okay but I want Branx Minor

I ain't say nothing about b. magna and atoma

[jade thistle]

I'm reading the lore blurb.

[frigid monolith]

Ryza

@jade thistle do I have enough proof yet lol

[marble obsidian]

Its been confirmed that forgeworld selection will play a part in metal colors for your augmentation correct? It is very reasonable to also assume itll change robe color to better complement different metallics (but hey it might not idk) i appreciate the reds of Mars anywho

[frigid monolith]

Voss prime

[frigid monolith]

If it has, I have no clue! It could just be an icon like with arbites cape stamps

[golden marsh]

I forgot you can usually change everything except the name after creation correct?

I wonder if the skit will be bigger than the normal classes

Or if we will be able to change the height

[frigid monolith]

Uh
Why would they

[golden marsh]

Idk

Apparently it has a different character model type

[cunning sigil]

You can change the name too.

[golden marsh]

Since when?

After creation?

[cunning sigil]

The personality scourge option lets you pretty much re-do character creation.

Voice, appearance, history, name.

[jade thistle]

Ah but still has some red

Also frankly red is more iconic, you almost never see non-red admech.

Even the 'non-red' ones still have a lot of red.

Forge world probably does support non-red though.

[proven storm]

Branx will be blue

Moebians are very blue

[hoary pecan]

Forge world Ryza is my fav lorewise "much of the fighting on Ryza has come down to close quarters. The Forge World's defenders have all earned a reputation as particularly fierce combatants." Cant wait to rip and tear with melee

[frigid monolith]

This is not what I'm even

Nevermind bro

Fight your ghosts, king

You aint even know forgeworlds had colors

[jade thistle]

I literally said forge world probably does lmao.

[frigid monolith]

...

Quit being confidently incorrect!!!!

It makes you look stupid!!!!

[jade thistle]

Things I never said.

😔

Red admech's more marketable.

[frigid monolith]

Pretty sure Metallica was in the cain series(?)

[jade thistle]

And the Tallarn Desert Raiders appear in the frankly underappreciated but really good Desert Raiders, doesn't mean they are marketable.

[frigid monolith]

What does this have to do with darktide color options

[jade thistle]

I mean JeeDubZ is really pushing yellow lasgunbolts.

Like that's what they are in lore.

But in Darktide they're unbroken red lasers.

[jade thistle]

Marketability.

[clear prism]

I'll do whatever i must to get the red cloth and blue glow for my skitarii, bc it looks badass.

[silk lantern]

We have yet to get marketable plushies of darktide

[jade thistle]

I would not be surprised if someone made one on their own, lemme see.

[frigid monolith]

Darktide released like 2 years before the lasgun post from FS

[silk lantern]

Marketable ogryn plushie

[jade thistle]

No.

[clear prism]

I'll buy the deluxe and rock that look, but im not a big fanof the deluxe servo skull.

[jade thistle]

Yes? And yellow lasgun bolts genuinely go way back.

The oldest art has them firing yellow bolts.

[frigid monolith]

How do you manage to miss the point every single time

Talking to you is like arguing with a chatbot

[golden marsh]

Awful

I need the red beams

[jade thistle]

I'm telling you they're going with what's marketable lol.

[frail verge]

Warhammer survivors use the yellow/ golden las

[jade thistle]

Red admech robes are iconic why bother with other forge world colors?

[frigid monolith]

Yeah bro and the gaurd's only marketable carapace is red or green

Wtf do lasguns have to do with marketability

[molten quarry]

Strange way of saying Cadia

XD

[jade thistle]

"The nature of the Skitarii, being enhanced warriors with mechanical limbs and covered in armor, wrapped under their signature robe and cowl, also made us really have to think of the character customization. It is a unique experience compared to the normal process, as you will go through the process of being upgraded to an Alpha Primus. Picking the limbs you want and even being able to use a voice modulation on top of the voice acting! This quickly became one of our favorite things with the class, and it also adds a lot to the customization." Per the steam page on customization, maybe they will but I doubt it.

[clear prism]

And red is...Krieg?

[jade thistle]

Well why would they bother with other forge world colors in darktide?

[frigid monolith]

Why would they bother with alternate ganger colors

Enlighten me

[jade thistle]

They're not an alternate mainline tabletop faction of which 99% of their potrayals are one color, and their customization options are severely limited.

[clear prism]

To be fair, why bother with other arbites precincts? But they did. Its the details, man.

[frigid monolith]

And yet
You still have them
Which is my point

In the game with character customization, why would they allow character customization?

Scientists want to know

[jade thistle]

That they exist in lore does not mean they will be potrayed.

[golden marsh]

I have a feeling I’m gonna see this pic 500 times before the class comes out

[jagged marten]

most likely basic face customization limb customization robes etc etc

since all skitarii are helmeted

[copper bridge]

Kek

[jagged marten]

better than the alternative

[jade thistle]

That is a good question, and frankly i've been wondering about all the other background character creation stuff because besides Cadians getting special eyes it does basically nothing.

But that's another discussion.

[frigid monolith]

Again
You thought
There was ONLY red

[frail verge]

Admech will probably have 4 colour schemes hopefully like the scum with either with the 4 biggest forge world colour schemes or new colour schemes for the local forge worlds

[jade thistle]

And then I also said http://puu.sh/KNFmD/5f911388b2.png

[fiery onyx]

either that one or the femboy one

[jade thistle]

Get out of my ass.

[jagged marten]

if its possible ill do white robed skitarii

[frigid monolith]

Yes. After I literally shoved it down your throat that there were other colors

[jagged marten]

black robed could be cool but thats more a heretek thing

[proven storm]

The femboy one way more lmfao

[frigid monolith]

You finally admitted to the fucking obvious

[fiery onyx]

oh no for sure

[frigid monolith]

[frigid monolith]

[frigid monolith]

Notice how you were replying to me asking if what I sent was enough for you

Dude

[silk lantern]

Goobers

[fiery onyx]

they look like berries :D

[clear prism]

I mean, i like my character having a bit of depth, mainly for immersion, so my arbites isn't the exact same as other peoples. These options are for people to flush out their own characters how they wish, to make them unique in a way only they can truly appreciate.

[jade thistle]

You may notice my first response was irreverent.

I had literally just woken up lol.

[frail verge]

Skitarii are quite colourful.
Mars is just the popular admech faction and they rock the classic red scheme

[frigid monolith]

"I hope we get more colors."

"Why would we? They are red."

"Because each forge world has their own liveries."
[Shows you]

"Erm maketability"

[frigid monolith]

Mine was a valence electron

[jade thistle]

Okay cool.

You're getting anal as hell about this.

This is ripped straight from the 10th edition rule book so are the current official colours for the major forge worlds

Stygies is still a balanced mix of black with dark Crimson

Voss prime is honestly the most interesting

Only one with multi coloured robe out of the major factions

My wishlist is just this color scheme ultimate penance unlock for them

Branx red and white goes hard as fuck

[jagged marten]

wait

i believe we can actualy customize metal color on skittles

[silk lantern]

Ok im waiting

[frail verge]

And gold accents

[frigid monolith]

And gold accents 🧘

[silk lantern]

Color scheme that is just solid gold when

[frigid monolith]

I think if it was confirmed for the oenance rewards;
I would make my augs as close to gold as I can

[frigid monolith]

And then I'd have the name I want

[jade thistle]

The Emperor claimed them all.

[silk lantern]

Exact same texture on every single surface

[frail verge]

Honestly branx went super hard on the ogryn weapons as they look so clean

[frigid monolith]

The only "misses" for me are like

The branx hive scum stuff

[jade thistle]

Wait they seriously have Branx stuff?

[jagged marten]

metallica also looks really clean

[frigid monolith]

Cause it implies the forgeworld looked at the cleaver
Squinted
And just started stamping the same measurement

[silk lantern]

I dont like the swords with the mastery skin

[jade thistle]

Is this like the machine that makes paperclips forever?

[frigid monolith]

Yeah 😭

Fucking, the shanks, the cleaver, the crowbar, all loom so strange

The crowbar weirdly fits

[jade thistle]

At least the crowbar is a tool.

[silk lantern]

Not a fan of pickaxe mastery skin too

[frigid monolith]

Looking for the other ones

[jade thistle]

Why do I feel an urge to run around hallways and beat scientists to death?

[frail verge]

I wonder if we will get a second set of weapon skins to earn one day

[frigid monolith]

You feel the call of a combine incursion...

The call says

Beat them to death

[silk lantern]

Prob not

[onyx yew]

remember when weapons had blue skins you could buy in the docket shop

[golden marsh]

Yknow I bet ppl seeing one of the weapons for that class was just a crowbar definitely didn’t help the original marketing

[silk lantern]

What would even be the requirement for unlocking them

[onyx yew]

those were good times

[frigid monolith]

The needle pistol goes hard

[gusty siren]

it's the omnissiah's crowbar ❤️

[silk lantern]

There still are

[frigid monolith]

The uzis kinda fick but

[jagged marten]

WE COULDVE HAD A CHAINGLAIVE

[jade thistle]

At least the needle pistol is a pretty advanced weapon all considered if I recall.

[onyx yew]

genuinely crowbar was the most interesting weapon to me other than dual stubs

[silk lantern]

Just not for dlc class weapons

[onyx yew]

i knew what shivs was all about already

[frigid monolith]

Oh right
Theres omnissiah gear weapon teinket thingies in the shop
Or were, it is thursday after all

[onyx yew]

chain glaive would be sick though

[frigid monolith]

As soon as skits were announced I yoinked those 🥹

[onyx yew]

where are all the pole weapons

its not that hard to tape a knife to a stick

[golden marsh]

I hope the arc maul actually has like an electric effect that arcs from enemy to enemy

[jade thistle]

Yeah the the needle pistol is favored by assassins.

Guess the gangers got them from the black market.

[golden marsh]

Needle pistol is filled with

Lean

Mountain Dew

[silk lantern]

Baja blast

[onyx yew]

yknow, i eat my words, they DID add a blue version of later weapons like fgs

[gusty siren]

hoping for agripinaa or metalica

[onyx yew]

ah, explains why it kills so fast then

im just hoping skitarii having a flamethrower servoskull will mean it has other fire shit too

[frigid monolith]

Augh no one on the internet had taken a pic of the other weapons

And im at work

So skitarii will get a healing based stuff like ranged revive a turret and a task management servo based units depending on the routes of the 3 skill points route?

[copper raven]

Calm your horses

[karmic verge]

Gangs that specialize in the making and selling of drugs often also make and use poison and acquire weapons like the needle pistol for their use.

Basically they just copying what escher does in necro i guess, as the original hive scum minis didnt really use such things and its the most out of place weapon for sure!

[karmic verge]

I made it up

[clear prism]

The wait for skitarii will be less painful once i get my hands on black flag resynced.

[copper raven]

Will the hybrid class have hybridly healing skills?

Ask yourself that

[safe smelt]

Ah wel it does look legit but hey who knows they are taking notes in the shadow

[copper raven]

Game code

[golden marsh]

If they had a devblog today when would it be?

12?

[silk lantern]

Tomorrow

[golden marsh]

Did they say tmr?

[safe smelt]

I mean they did show in game event the servo things

[silk lantern]

Devblog tomorrow alongside skitarii

[safe smelt]

They might have the best support gadget or a dps like stunning chances or pierce

[copper raven]

Come on guys, we need to complete the event so we can get the final reveal: Skitarii is coming 10 days earlier

[karmic verge]

Lowkey I dont actually know what you are referring too my b

[safe smelt]

I mean the devs reading and be like AHA I got a idea

[karmic verge]

I meant the needle gun thing, which comment about the needle gun did you mean

[safe smelt]

I saw someone posting a needle gun so I was wondering if that was a new info

[proven storm]

At best it'll be a ranged revive they won't do corruption cleansing

Especially wound corruption cleansing

[safe smelt]

Seems to be that direction for sure

[copper raven]

There's a third needle gun type in the code of the game

[karmic verge]

Well we have corruption healing already thats the reason i mention it

[copper raven]

And a second ogryn maul

[silk lantern]

[karmic verge]

Oh yeah the datamine shit right

[copper raven]

https://tenor.com/view/made-up-making-things-up-misinformation-spreading-misinformation-lying-gif-5615616319157116451

Come on

Trust

[karmic verge]

I didnt recall a needle gun but i did see the maul one

[silk lantern]

That was the arc maul for skit

[karmic verge]

Yeah and the powersword being confirmed a new weapon not a MK cuz its P3 or smth

[safe smelt]

I do hope some of the dlc classes gets more custom and helmets later on i do think the latest skins added was kinda cool

[karmic verge]

and some ability related things

[copper raven]

It's probably going to

Hive ganger had more than Arbites

[safe smelt]

Ah wel seems a step in the right direction especially has we gonna get more games 2 like the faction war based one of the 40k that will be released

[frail verge]

One of these days hopefully but it probably won't be on Xbox as they are the ones real funny about this stuff

[frigid monolith]

Wow!!!!! Way to overshadow me!!!!

I'm gonna go drink a white monster and punch drywall until I feel better.

Or until I hit a wooden stud and feel way worse.

[slim tartan]

I do wanna hear skitarii say "Vacuum Capsule"

[safe smelt]

So the thing of arbites i heard something going on why they not getting skins not sure but kinda takes to long unless they dont have much kinda skin especially helmets ideas or forms

[safe smelt]

They got such unique voice especially the male ones like we hear on the ship

[frail verge]

No one actually knows the real reason and fatshark aren't going to clarify

[slim tartan]

That's why I can't wait to hear it, must sound hilariously amazing

[safe smelt]

Imagine the in game conversations

[silk lantern]

Its most likely GW being a bitch like always

[safe smelt]

Ahh wel maybe as time goes by someday but I gotta admit they already do look cool tho!

[frail verge]

Most likely Xbox actually

Xbox are really funny about paid stuff for DLC content

[frail verge]

I mean like why can't scum get cosmetics. GW have a million official artworks and designs for them so it's probably not GW being the problem.

[silk lantern]

How so

[lime mauve]

• GW said no, for reasons that make zero sense
• Fatshark takes literally years to do the simplest things sometimes
• Slop Shop is run by a different Tencent subsidiary with 1000 higher priorities than premium cosmetics for a DLC class for a game with a player base the size of a small town

Sad as it is, any and all of these is fully plausible

[frail verge]

They got rules against paid content for paid content and often requires companies to make a deal with them to do it.
Vermintide eventually just decided to release cosmetics for paid classes but had to leave out the Xbox market

[uncut cloak]

Darktide fans always the first to say it's GW's fault

[jade thistle]

Sometimes, Fatshark makes dumb decisions, sometimes it's not GW.

[onyx yew]

i do believe they just aren't working on new cosmetics for the dlc classes now personally

[uncut cloak]

Most of tge times, it's just Fatshark's fault

[onyx yew]

fatshark works on fatshark time

[frail verge]

GW is just an easy blame but I really don't think they are to blame for this cosmetics mess for the dlc classes

it's probably Xbox

[onyx yew]

gw are asses but i don't believe there's like, a vault of cosmetics that fatshark is desperate to release to the masses but gw won't allow

[uncut cloak]

They simply won't make cosmetics for classes that are less used because behind a dlc

[silk lantern]

Im pretty sure commodore cosmetics are handled by a separate team

[frigid monolith]

My opinion is:
Not enough contracted cosmetics

[onyx yew]

what do you mean by that

[frigid monolith]

A lot of what we get is contracted out and then made/rigged by a chinese studio according to the concept art sent

Im assuming FS just doesn't have enough to release all at once in the store

I wish we'd at least get recolors for dockets, though

[frail verge]

people really just ignore the whole fact that Xbox were and are the issue behind the vermintide 2 dlc class new cosmetics and don't seem to realise it could be the same with darktide

[frigid monolith]

No real money in the shop this time though, right?

[onyx yew]

why would xbox fuck with things

[silk lantern]

If it was the same why do they even have commodore cosmetics in the first place

[onyx yew]

i'm genuinely curious

[proven storm]

Xbox didn't let the dlc classes have dlc cosmetics

[onyx yew]

they released like... one skin each for grail knight and warrior priest, i think? or was it a different two (not the ones included with the premium dlc or whatever, in the actual shop)

either way, weird

[proven storm]

Can't buy them separately and when they released more for the vermintide 2 careers Xbox didn't get them

[frail verge]

Rules against paid content for paid content

[onyx yew]

ah...

[frail verge]

I think fatshark got away with a single cosmetics page in darktide but that was it

Probably argued that the cosmetics page couldn't be removed but they were told they were not allowed to update it

[silk lantern]

Skitarii tomorrow

[tough wedge]

Real.

[twin wasp]

Skitarii yesterday

We just didnt notice

[karmic verge]

Oof

[serene cargo]

Radium Carbine tomorrow

[lean glen]

I have an honest belief that the Skits will have a wholly unique arsenal. The deluxe skins are a ruse to hide the face that we are getting the goad, cord claw, and rad weapons

Snorts Skitarii powder

[serene cargo]

real

[stable spruce]

You think Skitarii will get to use the plasma gun?

[serene cargo]

should get a plasma caliver if anything

[lean glen]

Genuinely no idea on this one. That's been a Vet exclusive with the art and marketing which makes me doubt.

[boreal reef]

"Hadron, can we get an Omnissian axe?"

"We have an Omnissian axe at home, varlet."

(hands skitarii an Achlys pattern combat axe with Branx Minor forge livery)

[lean glen]

There's a Admech symbol welded to the side of it that's not centered at all

[stable spruce]

I have heard a rumor that chord claw may be a Keystone talent.

[lean glen]

Maybe the ruststalker talent ability. Hot swap your hands and go nuts

[golden marsh]

Clearly we are getting the giant anti tank rifle

I’d hope

[lean glen]

I'm just so excited to get my hands on the Galvanic rifle.

[golden marsh]

I mean that is essential

[stable spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-itehattsd-salamanders-he-stan-gif-17102166

[golden marsh]

Vulkan is dead

Vulkan Lives!

Vulkan is dead again

[lean glen]

I know that he's a perpetual but what if this a Ciaphas Cain situation and people are just really bad at reporting if he's alive still

[jade thistle]

Vulkan is in writer's flux

[lean glen]

The worst fate... he's a plot device now

[sour lava]

skibitarii

[twin oxide]

I mean, Crusher used to be a zealot exclusive until Mr. Skullcrusher Cop came along and stole it while also making it just better on their class

And DS used to be psyker exclusive, Recon also vet exclusive, etc....

[lean glen]

That is true, but the crusher was also a later addition. If anything, I'd bet the power falchion would get the treatment of becoming shared with the vets and skits.

[twin oxide]

I wouldn't doubt that tbh

[sour lava]

power flachion actually being good once any other class has it

[lean glen]

There's also the chance that the skit won't share any weapons, like the Ogryn.

[silk lantern]

falchion would probably be redundant with skit power sword

[silk lantern]

nah it'll still be mid af

[twin oxide]

A repeat of shock maul vs. Arbites shock maul xd
