skitarii-class

[long eagle]

I love when people do this. I once saw a guy get mad a teammate was doing it, he raged quit because of the "cringe"

[wheat timber]

If I got an RvB Sarge veteran in pubs, you couldn't get me to leave that match

[marble obsidian]

Yeah you met me

[wheat timber]

I don't care how bad they are if they have heart

[ashen jay]

I had a feeling KEKW

but on the greater point party morale management is probably the real skill of coop games

getting back to the skitarii aspect of this I am kinda wondering where the class will land overall on the glass cannon to ironbreaker survivability vs DPS spectrum

[acoustic dagger]

toxicity is uncommon, people just tend to be irritating doing braindead plays with meta builds

smyker, rumblergryn etc

voidblasting at teammates feet

[silk lantern]

With how fatshark talked about it i think you can prob do either one depending on build

[marble obsidian]

From the dev insight video and the general organization we've seen of the skill tree, I think this will certainly be the most variable class based on build

[silk lantern]

But it'll prob be overall pretty durable

But not enough to rival ogryn or arb

[main wing]

I like to shoot the barrels next to cliffs next to team mates than while I'm distracted by them dangling off the edge wondering why they can't just pull themselves up I get caught in a net

[ashen jay]

Yeah swiss army knife vibes. intuitively I would expect it to tend more on the DPS/flimsy side. With weapons like vibro sword and dagger and arc rifle at least I feel it would be more intuitive to be glass cannon ish on the balance spectrum and have maybe some sort of tankier/support playstyle around shock maul and phosphor pistol

[silk lantern]

Ngl we already tried the whole glass cannon thing twice and look how they turned out

[twin wasp]

You GOTTA do SOME ogryn speak its the law

[silk lantern]

Idk if i want another alleged "glass cannon" class

[twin wasp]

Seconded

[ashen jay]

I mean glass cannon in the great scheme of things. Outcast engineer in VT2 is not full glass cannon, but glass cannon by virtue of having no mobility etc. Your not that squishy but you rely on others to make space for you to be effective. dunno how the DT situation is.

[marble obsidian]

I wouldn't say glass cannon so much as a form of dps disabler with all of its electrical stun effects and phosphor pistol

[long eagle]

I don't mind glass cannon being something you can do, but I have zero intent on playing Skitarii as one. They seem to be flexible so as long as its not forced I'll enjoy it, but for me glass cannons aren't fun to play, also I don't think a character made fully of metal fits the glass cannon "type" like scum does

[marble obsidian]

Like one of the few keystones they showed in the dev video last week was one that gave allies toughness for killing shocked targets

[ashen jay]

yeh thats kind of the consistency dilemma skitarii kinda have. Inherently augmented body will just be more tanky and things like vibro swords will just outperform a inanimate piece of metal too. So from my perspective I am kinda wondering how that will be solved gameplay feel wise.
Given the non linear thing of the skill tree my guess would be you can go either direction but not both

[marble obsidian]

The trick here is... more toughness than any other class... but less health

[frank kestrel]

Ill take 10 health for 500 tghnss

[uneven root]

Should not make cannon out of glass, seems like bad thing.

[ashen jay]

skill issue

/s

[ashen jay]

could even argue for that with fluff text "hurr durr its only 50% flesh, so you get 50% health" kekw

[long eagle]

As long as its optional is the point. Just in general I don't find the playstyle fun in any game. All I really want is something like Vet (as in having more ranged options, been looking forward to Galvanic rifle) but with more interesting mechanics to play around with

[acoustic dagger]

more toughness than health would be pretty funny

[silk lantern]

Funnily enough vet is prob the closest class to a proper glass cannon in the game rn

[viscid sparrow]

150 base health is the lowest rn for Psyker, Veteran and Hive Scum, Zealot and Arbites have 200 base and Ogryn has 300.

[ashen jay]

I overall like to play stuff that requires lots of SA from you to position right, use the right tool for the right job, be exceptional when you pull that off and fall apart when you screw up

[long eagle]

true, hence why I fell off playing him. He just isn't really the same as when I started playing him. Hoping for a class the peaks back into that area from awhile ago

[ashen jay]

unironic question because I dont know, how relevant is that on average? from what I can tell toughness is the currency most things are decided on survivability wise.

[silk lantern]

150 base hp means hp curios are mandatory in havoc to avoid some one shots

Bursters and snipers are the ones i can think of

More hp also means chip damage isnt as punishing

[viscid sparrow]

Skitarii also lack any tax/stat nodes (judging by the WIP talent tree) does also possibly mean their base stats would be higher to compensate. Every other class has a few nodes that give nothing but +toughness

[stiff pier]

You say curios as if you needed anything more than 1 +5% hp xddd

[silk lantern]

They could have some blue nodes that are just stat boosts in practice

Wouldnt be the first time

[long eagle]

in the dev video we can see they have 100 toughness and 150 health, assuming no curios equipped

[stiff pier]

On another note I don't trust fatshark into making a "glass cannon" not be both OP and actually tanky

Hive Scum is genuienly the Best class at clutching next to Zealot with shroudfield

That screams the opposite of "glass cannon" to me

Their last iteration of a good glass cannon was Shade and even she's OP

[silk lantern]

So prob same base stats as vet then

[long eagle]

as long as they don't have any talent nodes or curios boosting it then looks like these are the base stats for Skit

[silk lantern]

Kinda hard to imagine theyre boosted by curios and somehow landed at exactly 100/150

[viscid sparrow]

Curios don't usually give clean numbers like that, so those likely are the base stats.

[silk lantern]

Could be talents tho

[long eagle]

aye I'm aware, still depending on curio level and what it could be mixed with there is a chance, not saying it likely but there is a small chance the unaltered stats may be different

[lean glen]

God I want that rifle so badly

[silk lantern]

But yeah it'll prob be 100 toughness and 150 hp like vet

[long eagle]

most likely

[long eagle]

same, I hope it pings like a Garand lol

[viscid sparrow]

It is possible the Skitarii have stat nodes but they just use the icon for passives. Arbites have two talents that use the icon for passives but are just +25 stat nodes, Arbitrator Armor and Plasteel Plates.

[lean glen]

There's a part of me that thinks it won't since it has a magazine like the M14 but I pray for space garand ping. Reason why I mained Scout in DRG

[long eagle]

A Skit can dream lol, regardless I foresee it being my main weapon

[stiff pier]

That would be implying skitarii would have even less base hp than the 3 squishies

[long eagle]

true, honestly the more my tired brain thinks about it yeah its likely just Vet stats to start with lol

[silk lantern]

I dont think there are any talents that increase hp

[brittle mortar]

"glass cannon"

look inside

dodge tank

[stiff pier]

EXACTLY

[brittle mortar]

And psyker slowly turned into an actually tanky class over time lol

[stiff pier]

It's like people who don't want to call handmaiden a tank

Just because she doesn't eat damage for free

[stiff pier]

There used to be in the past, not anymore

[sterile tendon]

what if we deleted purgatus staff

[viscid sparrow]

Generally speaking by max level Psykers, Zealots and Scum have 125 toughness (75 base + 50 from talents for Psyker, 100 base + 25 from talents for Zealot and Scum).

[stiff pier]

Chinese review bomb

[sterile tendon]

tell them we delete ds if they review bomb

[stiff pier]

Do they still use DS?

[sterile tendon]

no idea

[stiff pier]

I thought they moved on PS, GS and Relic Blade

After the uncanny nerfs

[queen aurora]

slippery karker

[silk lantern]

They still prob crutch on the mobility

[stiff pier]

On an unrelated note yesterday I realized I never did the twins mission

[jagged creek]

since day 1 my hivescum was named

[stiff pier]

No wonder I never got that insignia

[jagged creek]

and now

my life is complete

so i drew this to celebrate it

[stiff pier]

New one will be called "SkitariiForReal"?

[sterile tendon]

holy lhel

[silk lantern]

Waow

[jagged creek]

no its gonna be UdaRealskitarii

[stiff pier]

I think I'm just gonna call it toaster

[marble obsidian]

I've had a skitarii vet loadout for like a year now

[fiery onyx]

I'll name mine either Cog-itator or something actually original or lore-friendly

[silk lantern]

Jane signalis

[marble obsidian]

Hey it makes me wonder if we're ignoring something in the skill tree, its very possible they could have override protocols or extraneous augmentation to literally force their way into different statblocks for different roles

[stiff pier]

Mehhh It's Fatshark, they won't make DLC classes have actual downsides on release

[icy reef]

Hive Scum?

[golden marsh]

Devblog at 12 clearly

[stiff pier]

Literally no downsides

Even when rampage had exhaustion

It was still mega broken OP

Basically a non downside

[silk lantern]

That is a downside

[long eagle]

turns out Skitarii was just a hallucination brought on my powder consumption, there was no reveal, there is no dev log

[stiff pier]

A downside of the ability tho not of the class overall

And 99% of players just used desperado anyways back then

Because "yay I can finally shoot non stop!!!"

[sterile tendon]

why use desperado when you can use bonesaw actually nvm i'd rather just desperado

[silk lantern]

Hive scum actually had downsides before

Which was a good thing

[stiff pier]

I don't remember this

[uncut cloak]

Rampage

[sterile tendon]

bonesaw

[stiff pier]

I wouldn't call that a downside of the class

[uncut cloak]

I mean the ability did

[silk lantern]

But then people complained and fatshark got rid of the glass in glass cannon

[uncut cloak]

It never was glass cannon

[stiff pier]

I know, I wouldn't call that a downside for the class tho

[uncut cloak]

It just sucked dick the first 20 levels

[stiff pier]

Hive scum was never a glass cannon

[icy reef]

Lol if you say so

[stiff pier]

His tree just put every toughness regen at the bottom

[uncut cloak]

It came up to pretty good bulk in the end

[fiery onyx]

i like guns

i like shoot

[uncut cloak]

Or evasion more like

[sterile tendon]

i like dual stubber...

[stiff pier]

I did use the b in havoc before the nerf and he still dealt +2 mill 😭

[sterile tendon]

first guns to be awesome

[icy reef]

I remember "if there is a Rager on screen when Rampage ends, you die immediately"

[sterile tendon]

i dont thnik that ever happened

well maybe in h*voc idk

[stiff pier]

That's kinda a skill issue ngl

[stiff pier]

We censoring havoc now 😭

[silk lantern]

If you didnt play around the exhaustion yeah that happened

[sterile tendon]

its too terrible i cant say it....

[stiff pier]

Wdym you don't like pink+red right now?

(yes it'll probably stay in rotation now until the Skitarii update)

[sterile tendon]

not really annoyed by the modifiers actually

[icy reef]

Eh, Rampage is stupid anyway
If I want to play Zealot, I'll play Zealot

[stiff pier]

Ok then you're kinda...

[sterile tendon]

i just want it to be accessible for once

[stiff pier]

On the homo side maybe

[sterile tendon]

ur not? 😨

[stiff pier]

endgame tryhard mode

accessible

[stiff pier]

Well yes I'm bi but I was using it as an insult!!!

[icy reef]

I just wish Havoc had better matchmaking

[sterile tendon]

idk i dont think hard content should need grind to get to h40 every time

especially when mission board is so eepy

and thats the only other option

[stiff pier]

Havoc assignment reset would be fine if we actually had seasonal rewards

Even VT2 weaves did this xddd

[sterile tendon]

reset would be fine if it wasnt there

[golden marsh]

Ahhhhhh ahhhh the voices

They tell me skitarii

Skitarii today

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

[sterile tendon]

i mean im ok with party finder it really is just derank that makes it awful

i'd be ok with derank if it only happened for the first climb then h40 you're done forever

[golden marsh]

I’m still suprised when I see actual new ppl

[sterile tendon]

but naww torment nexus

[acoustic dagger]

derank is also the direct reason why the party finder is awful

[golden marsh]

I’ve never made it to 40 but I want to with skitarii

[acoustic dagger]

mouthbreathers will reject you because reasons

[golden marsh]

He’s not level 563635

[acoustic dagger]

and there are much more of those reasons when there's a punishment for failing

[golden marsh]

I bet there is a mod that’s shows your success rate

[sterile tendon]

its crazy when we're getting a 3rd new class and h*voc still isnt good

is it so hard to have some difficult content that isnt miserable to access

[acoustic dagger]

and there's morons in maels grinding the ASS title because they mistakenly believe they're good enough to play mael and that it will get them into havoc pub lobbies

[golden marsh]

Yea it’s like impossible without sweating

And some encounters are literally impossible

[sterile tendon]

i think i'd just play arby to grind to make it as quick as possible

then i get to play the videogame at h40

[golden marsh]

3 plague ogrins 8 chushers and the twins all at once is not possible

Plus 20 trappers

[acoustic dagger]

doable if the team is good

[icy reef]

Guy who doesn't make videogames: is it so hard to make a videogame

[acoustic dagger]

but 90% of randoms would get wiped by the twins alone

[stiff pier]

I think the system would benefit from just copy pasting normal difficulty unlocking

[sterile tendon]

they literally have mission board working fine lol

[stiff pier]

So instead of having 40 havoc levels just have 4

[sterile tendon]

they've done it before

[stiff pier]

10, 20, 30 and 40

[golden marsh]

Captains are worse than getting demonhoast

Dual

[stiff pier]

You game, if you win you make progress, if you lose you lose progress

[sterile tendon]

this would help yea

[stiff pier]

But you can never lose a difficulty you unlocked

[sterile tendon]

40 ranks is silly when the first 20 or 30 dont exist

[stiff pier]

Yeah

The only relevant ones are 16 (auric unlock)

20 I think (fading light 1)

[acoustic dagger]

16-20 are actually fun for a casual pub match

[stiff pier]

30 (fading light 2)

[golden marsh]

Also

[stiff pier]

And 40

[sterile tendon]

fading light isnt in before 20?

[golden marsh]

There are no rewards

[acoustic dagger]

psure fading light 1 is 15

[golden marsh]

We need more rewards

[stiff pier]

I don't remember

[golden marsh]

Like actually good ones

[sterile tendon]

im fine without rewards if i got to actually play h40 without grinding every update

but i cant even get that i guess

[acoustic dagger]

h15-20 is basically auric heresy+

[golden marsh]

Like give us one or two actually good sets of gear

[stiff pier]

Mehhh I wouldn't want people to be desperate either to play cock n ball torture gamemode

[golden marsh]

Not just the one havoc set

[stiff pier]

Just for the rewarda

I think 1 frame/title per season would be good enough

[sterile tendon]

i'd rather expedition get rewards

[golden marsh]

There are way too many paid cosmetics

[sterile tendon]

cause that gamemode got nothin!!!!!!!

[stiff pier]

The issue with Expeditions is that it has no progress

[golden marsh]

Should be more events with free currency

[acoustic dagger]

Unfortunately they do because people don't wanna get bottlenecked by the resource grind kinda flies in the face of havoc being an endgame mode for sweats

[stiff pier]

Rather than lack of rewards overall

[sterile tendon]

cant believe they saw people hating havoc season derank slop

then made expeditions have season reset slop

[sterile tendon]

it also just has 0 variety

[stiff pier]

I'm pretty sure it's a completely different thing

[sterile tendon]

and no reason to even play auric since the tech remnants are the same i think?

[stiff pier]

Imagine if we could use tech remnants to buy indulgences for future expedition runs...

[golden marsh]

Expeditions needs to be more like chaos wastes

[stiff pier]

That'd be peak

[sterile tendon]

idk both reset my progress for 0 reason

[stiff pier]

Unpopular take but I think it should actually be more like helldivers 2

[stiff pier]

It's not a reset

It's cycling the maps so you can unlock more towards the penance

[acoustic dagger]

On the other hand I've noticed a big downtick in player toxicity ever since shortly after havoc release, now most of the insufferable players are haunting havoc lobbies instead of griefing and being toxic in aurics so honestly W in that sense

[sterile tendon]

lmao

toxicity magnet

[silk lantern]

Wdym

[sterile tendon]

i dont really care about the expeditions penance

those cosmetics look really bad LOL

[stiff pier]

Withing expeditions itself We should be able to have more customization, and higher difficulties

[acoustic dagger]

when I was still pretty new to the game back in '24 I played a bb gunker for shits and giggles one time and this dork would just stop playing to type at me shit like "I have the scoreboard mod and you're bottom feeding on the damage, you are so bad why are you so bad"

[sterile tendon]

ohh its ovoer

[stiff pier]

Havoc 40 is rarely toxic nowadays anyways

[acoustic dagger]

now I only see shit like that from screenshots other ppl post from their havoc lobbies here 😇

[sterile tendon]

well h40 is the one rank you get to enjoy

[stiff pier]

It's the Havoc Hell where people suffer

It's mainly Havoc 30 and maybe 35

[sterile tendon]

its the least hell out of them all

[stiff pier]

Havoc 30 is Hitler

Garanteed environmental modifier

[acoustic dagger]

I think Havoc 21 is worse because that's where like 95% of havoc main wannabes get filtered

[lavish smelt]

Expeditions doesn't feel like it's hooked into the rest of the game properly, there's nothing to make me go "oh, I'd like to get weapon mastery XP/emperor's gifts/resources/whatever, lemme do some expeditions"

[acoustic dagger]

so if you're trying to solo rank up through you're going to have some extremely miserable matches

[queen aurora]

isent it just the same map, but the same POI's are different location?

[sterile tendon]

yea

and at the shop you buy the exact same 2 items

[stiff pier]

I think the point of expeditions should be the silly powercreep gamemode that people get to feel the power fantasy

[sterile tendon]

isnt that every mode other than havoc

[acoustic dagger]

That was the point behind mortis trials

[golden marsh]

They should just copy paste stuff from the other game mode with the perks

[acoustic dagger]

Every other mode at least makes a reasonable attempt to present itself as challenging

[stiff pier]

Ok but while mortis trials does this with indulgences

[sterile tendon]

mortis takes 10 waves to even start spawning stuff properly

[stiff pier]

I think Expeditions should do this with customization via tech remnants

[acoustic dagger]

I don't disagree

[stiff pier]

Y'know how in HD2 you can buy stuff to get stronger

[golden marsh]

Open chests to get random stuff

[stiff pier]

That's kinda what I want for expeditions

[golden marsh]

Buffs

[acoustic dagger]

I was also really disappointed in a lack of a metaprogression mechanic

[golden marsh]

Like risk of rain

[stiff pier]

Making your own OP loadout for expeditions

[wet ginkgo]

You already have it in your build

[golden marsh]

The random weapons would not work as well in Darktide though

[queen aurora]

could instead made expeditions of the second hive city, that rearranges corridors and rooms each run different, collapsed paths and such

[stiff pier]

Obviously, but apparently that's not enough for the "don't nerf anything" crowd

[golden marsh]

A lot more weapons are viable in vermintide

[stiff pier]

So Expeditions should be their place to live their power fantasy

Stronger and stronger

[wet ginkgo]

Mortis trials:

[stiff pier]

Yes but that's limited to the run

[sterile tendon]

i just want expeditions to not be the exact same every time

[wet ginkgo]

Expeditions lore wise does not fit well for power fantasy get stronger over time

[sterile tendon]

i think we have enough power fantasy

[acoustic dagger]

for an open ended map and gameplay flow the expeditions maps are dissapointingly samey

I don't think there's any way around this, expeditions are a massive letdown of a mode

[wet ginkgo]

There needs more variety and replay value through each run

[stiff pier]

The idea behind expeditions mapping is not bad

[silk lantern]

And much less reliant on having specific perks/blessings

[stiff pier]

But Fatshark needs to add at least 20 new POI tiles

And 50 non POI tiles

[golden marsh]

Yeah they just bonk

[sterile tendon]

the enemies usually give variety but ur meant to just kinda ignore them and do the static tiles instead lmao

[wet ginkgo]

Special items, quests, different kind of loot, special enemy encounters

[sterile tendon]

no wonder its gonna be the same

[golden marsh]

Yea clearly they should add back red weapons

[wet ginkgo]

Cult totems in expeditions

[stiff pier]

Yeah this is also an issue

[wet ginkgo]

[acoustic dagger]

I'm also miffed fatshark didn't add packmaster boss to the base game like they said they would

[silk lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-manhattan-gif-18899941

[sterile tendon]

i remember tiles having like 3 total objectives?

[wet ginkgo]

eventually

[acoustic dagger]

that guy is the best part of expeditions

[sterile tendon]

parkour hack and bomb wall

[wet ginkgo]

i just want him on missions next update

[stiff pier]

Wanna hear something funny?

They actually removed armoured dog from normal missions silently

[wet ginkgo]

so we can have 4 enemies in a update

[sterile tendon]

isnt packmaster comically underpowered

[wet ginkgo]

he is a tough one

[acoustic dagger]

Yeah I noticed, it's ass

[wet ginkgo]

but not too difficult

[stiff pier]

In the context of expeditions yes

[proven storm]

They're adding them with Skitarii

[stiff pier]

But I'm pretty sure he'll be the most dangerous boss in Havoc

[wet ginkgo]

Packmaster in expeditions he gets bullied

[queen aurora]

explains the picture they posted

[wet ginkgo]

from the special items

[sterile tendon]

why must auric bosses do literally nothing

1984 tbh

[acoustic dagger]

Was this confirmed in writing somewhere

[stiff pier]

Like Packmaster clearly fits the role of the Minotaur in VT2

[wet ginkgo]

A better minotaur

[stiff pier]

A piece of shit who doesn't leave you alone nor gives you time to breath

[sterile tendon]

https://tenor.com/ol7yGypmcZA.gif

[stiff pier]

With attacks that will fuck over your defense

[acoustic dagger]

Awesome ty

[queen aurora]

so thats why they posted this #🐦tweets-sermons message

[wet ginkgo]

Pack master does need more stagger immunity

[stiff pier]

(especially since packmaster applies a stamina debuff on hit)

[wet ginkgo]

thats just screenshots for skitarii

[proven storm]

Nah that's just a promotional from the steam page

[wet ginkgo]

to promote

[wet ginkgo]

i was surprised that even blocking his chain attacks, you will still get debuffed

[stiff pier]

Also I forgot to report this but

[wet ginkgo]

and i vibe with that

[stiff pier]

Outlines don't work correctly on packmaster

xdddd

[queen aurora]

so, then its just a coincidence they showed both together well then

[stiff pier]

They surely wanted to add a way where the packmaster butt fucks you

Just like minotaur with the 3 combo attack

With the last one being unblockable

[wet ginkgo]

TO ME MY MASTIFFS

I need his voicelines in missions

[acoustic dagger]

I hope he gets subtitles too

[wet ginkgo]

Also make him spawn as a chance from hound packs modifier

[stiff pier]

If anything I pray he spams this attacks since it means the debuff can actually wear off xddd

[sterile tendon]

packmaster summoning 300 hounds

[proven storm]

There's this too which is important

[sterile tendon]

oh god

[wet ginkgo]

They really cant just drop VT2

[acoustic dagger]

Swag, called it

[sterile tendon]

50 new classes

[wet ginkgo]

Skitarii should have been the last class

[acoustic dagger]

I'm almost certain they will do one more DLC class just for numerical parity with base game classes before calling it quits

[wet ginkgo]

if that implies we still getting a new one

[queen aurora]

Once we have Skitarii.. could we get more story, having the Jesus Ritual stopped is such cliffhanger

[golden marsh]

We need that last weapon drop for vt2 although idk what they add

[stiff pier]

In my wildest dreams Fatshark decides to balance versus 🤤

[golden marsh]

Hockland long rifle maybe

[proven storm]

At least a rune drill

[sterile tendon]

adding ranks to versus

[wet ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/john-roblox-laugh-burst-out-laughing-lol-laughing-gif-1680957198344187785

[proven storm]

you and the 5 other players will be so happy

[acoustic dagger]

pvp mode in my pve game
disgusting!

[golden marsh]

That mode became cancer immediately

[stiff pier]

So true

[wet ginkgo]

That shit took 9 years or something and died in a week

[sharp aurora]

nice to see they dont plan on abandoning the games

[stiff pier]

It's surprising how good the gamemode actually is

But lack of balance and dipshits who team stack in quickplay killed it

[golden marsh]

If they update Darktide as long as they have vermintide I’ll be super happy

[acoustic dagger]

pvp and good is mutually exclusive sorry

[stiff pier]

Nuh uh

It's goode

You guys lack rat mentality sorry

[acoustic dagger]

well thank the emperor I do I'm too old for that shit

[stiff pier]

But in all seriousness, it is good, Fatshark is just stupid for ignoring these 2 super glaring issues during beta

When I play in private games with high level players

And no cancer classes

It's peak

[stiff pier]

I'm 25 you're not old diddy

[sterile tendon]

unc

[acoustic dagger]

never call me diddy again

[stiff pier]

Never call yourself old #WokeSupportiveFriend

More people should play versus

I mean it's alive rn because of the x2 xp event

[sterile tendon]

i cant play it theres no burgerboxing

[stiff pier]

After that it'll die again

[wet ginkgo]

the base game is alive because of the 2xp event

[silk lantern]

Base game

More like

Based game

[stiff pier]

Whoa whoa whoa I can find games of CW and Adventure outside of event

[stiff pier]

Does punching the shit out of people as rat ogre count as burgerbox?

[acoustic dagger]

but jokes aside my problem with pvp is that it's fundamentally always about chasing that high of playing against people of equal skill level, because being over or underskilled results in a bad experience for differing reasons, and there's no consensus on how games should handle this issue - both sbmm systems and lack thereof have glaring flaws

[sterile tendon]

no idea

[stiff pier]

I mean L4D2 is alive nowadays exclusively because of versus

It has no matchmaking

No ranks

And people still play it no biggie

[acoustic dagger]

...it's also widely regarded as one of the most toxic online game communities lol

[summer vector]

dude theres like a few lobbies of versus up at a time

[stiff pier]

And even less campaign lobbies

[summer vector]

i think most people are playing solo or with friends

i love versus though

other than the goofy hitboxes

[acoustic dagger]

I think duos are the most common player teamup

or it's in a close tie with soloing

[stiff pier]

It's kinda funny how the versus situation devolved in VT2

Release day: everyone abusing trollhammer, Footknight, wp, handmaiden

years pass, barely any balance change done to it

Nowadays: no one uses trollhammer because it's boring OP

Nature is healing...

[sterile tendon]

rumbler but awesome

UwUmbwweww

[sterile tendon]

something like that

[acoustic dagger]

the arbites GL the kind redditors have been asking FS to add

[sterile tendon]

😨

[acoustic dagger]

FS should absolutely do it it's gonna be amazeballs

[sterile tendon]

too scary...

[acoustic dagger]

Scared of arbites no longer being the weakest class in the game huh? I see how it is

One day it WILL happen and your nefarious ANTI-PLAYER antics will end

[sterile tendon]

[molten cove]

ive been having so much fun with skitarii since 2nd december i cant wait for hive scum in under a month

[stiff pier]

Idk why Fatshark didn't add a heavy machine gun to vet and/or Arbites

This is what people have been begging for a while

[sterile tendon]

i heard hive scum might have a rocket launcher btw

from the ukranian leak

[stiff pier]

I know braced autogun does the same thing gameplay wise but

People don't care about that

[silk lantern]

Busy doing other things

[stiff pier]

They want to feel the power

[sterile tendon]

busy adding 30 more classes

[silk lantern]

Like the dlc class weapons

[sterile tendon]

weapoan dlc in 5 minutes

includes pscimitar for vet melta pistol for zealot NOTHING for psyker and 10 ogryn weapons

[acoustic dagger]

They could just give the mg some niche to make it differ over brauto, like idk huge mag capacity but it can overheat while firing

[candid saddle]

we're getting stone rebar hammer DLC for ogryn

its totally gonna happen you gotta believe me

[golden marsh]

Grenade launcher for vet

And hellgun

And long laz

And Melta gun

And inferno pistol

And the stubber with the drum mag that looks like a Tommy gun

[wet ginkgo]

Greedy veteran players

they all want stuff for themselves

[white blade]

God, I tried playing vet again last night for the first time in a long time

They should be a little greedy

[wet ginkgo]

play shovel vet

the only new best way to play

[white blade]

I've always liked shovel

Tried

TAxe+Vraks

[sterile tendon]

arc shovel

[wet ginkgo]

i tried it for first time after long time and it feels so good

i think last time was like near 2 years

[white blade]

It's genuinely crazy going from the dlc classes to vet tho

[acoustic dagger]

I try to be greedy sometimes as a vet but it's a struggle whem mighty rumblergryns show up

[stiff pier]

The consequences of playing Hive Scum with Nimble for an extended period of time

It's hard to go back to normal classes

This is why I stopped using Nimble and Jittery

[white blade]

Scum or basically any arb set up

[stiff pier]

Extremely OP talents that brairnot your memory

[acoustic dagger]

But when it works, it works. It's so refreshing to manage a minutes long chain of exe stance and turning the mission almost completely special/elite free with a boltgun

[white blade]

I imagine Skittle is gonna be dumb too

[stiff pier]

You don't need to imagine

[white blade]

I can still refresh exe back to back so that was nice

[stiff pier]

It's a garanteed

[sterile tendon]

you dont need to imagine since its tomorrow

[white blade]

No, I just need to wait

[stiff pier]

Fatshark will make sure that all the tourists coming to darktide because of admech representation

Can have their super strong fun fantasy

[sterile tendon]

dual duelling swords

[stiff pier]

Dual duelling swords with slayer dual axe moveset

[uncut cloak]

the super strong fun fantasy of getting carried by 3 lv 3000 pros speedrunning through malice

[stiff pier]

That'd be funny

[acoustic dagger]

Fatshark will make the class at least a little silly strong so that stupid people don't review bomb it again and the class will get review bombed again regardless

[uncut cloak]

i already have the negative review ready

[sterile tendon]

me playing malice to unlock difficulties and seeing the MASSIVE hordes of 3 enemies

ithoughtyouwerestronger.jpeg

[stiff pier]

Fuck it I'm not grinding Skitarii on first day release lol

[acoustic dagger]

I def will lol

[stiff pier]

I'll just grind Havoc back, and after that join my Friends who unlocked new difficulties and leech off them

:)

[acoustic dagger]

Idc I just wanna skit 😊

[uncut cloak]

brother, if you want to avoid that, you will have to wait like

2 weeks

[white blade]

I'm gonna duo hard mode twins when Skittles drop

[stiff pier]

I'm pretty sure 1 day should be enough for My Friends to be level 15~ or more

And have at least heresy/damnation

[acoustic dagger]

I'm rawdog leveling skit the old fashioned way

[jagged marten]

Do twins grinding on skitarii so you can skip guaranteed daemonhost wakeups every mission

[stiff pier]

I'll just leech off that with a level 1 skitarii

[white blade]

You can hit 30 in a day levelling normally

[stiff pier]

Wait shit that's true

[white blade]

Like progging through diffs and campaign

[stiff pier]

Is twins the Best way to farm level?

[white blade]

Yeah

[jagged marten]

Yes

[white blade]

You go from 1-4 or 5 off first completion

[stiff pier]

I'll have that into heavy consideration then

[white blade]

It takes all of

[acoustic dagger]

You can reach 28 in 1 day pretty easy, I've done it multiple times. Even easier if you do operations back to back

[white blade]

What

2 minutes

You load into twins hard mode

Hit bell

Watch a cutscene

[jagged marten]

You just continiously die

[white blade]

Die

Repeat

[stiff pier]

Oh so you just

Okay

[white blade]

Legit

Load mission, ring bell, walk into arena, die

[stiff pier]

Does hardmde give you more xp on death?

[sterile tendon]

put on some skibidi on the side and start dying to twins hard mode

[white blade]

It's the teleport

Cause hard mode lets you skip the level

[uncut cloak]

what

why

[stiff pier]

Right I'm asking because you can teleport both for normal mode AND hard mode

[sterile tendon]

imagine if they fix it this update

[white blade]

I never knew the tp worked for normal mode tbh

[stiff pier]

There are 2 bells

[acoustic dagger]

There is no normal mode tp

[stiff pier]

I literally just did this YESTERDAY by doing the twins achievements

There are 2 BELLS on the beginning

The one on the left teleports you to normal diff twins

And the one on the right teleports you to hard mode diff twins

[acoustic dagger]

Wtf lmao I thought it did nothing???

[stiff pier]

😭

[white blade]

I have no idea if hardmode gives you more

I always did it for the skip ngl

[sterile tendon]

why does twins have more qol than the entirety of havoc

[stiff pier]

It's just that everyone has to hit the same bell I think

[stiff pier]

Yeah that's why I'm asking xddd

[acoustic dagger]

Out of dev team's love and respect for rinda karnak

[stiff pier]

I'd guess it's still for the Best to go hardmode so you die quicker

[white blade]

What's there to fix tbh

It's not like

[sterile tendon]

no xp on loss idk

[white blade]

Like it's all seemingly intentional

Yeah but you need xp on loss on other missions

[acoustic dagger]

That'd be catastrophic for casuals, fatshark can't afford to piss them off

[white blade]

Yeah

[sterile tendon]

i dont think they know about this

[white blade]

I mean

They knew about when people used it for resource farming

[acoustic dagger]

Warudo when was the last time you qped heresy solo

[sterile tendon]

uh

uh

[white blade]

Now when you TP you don't get the crates of shit

[sterile tendon]

ermm

[white blade]

Plasteel and dia

[sterile tendon]

arby release...

[white blade]

I think they're defo aware tho cause people used to hardmode skip for resources and that got axed

[acoustic dagger]

Yeah well remember theres a whole big group of ppl on all servers that only play heresy cos they can't or wont play anything harder

[sterile tendon]

this is scary.... cant be true...

[mellow storm]

no, it's true

[sterile tendon]

holy hell...

[mellow storm]

the vast majority of players, for any game, are hyper casuals who sit in the shitter bracket

[stiff pier]

Very scary if they fix this

I think the actual downside of doing this method tho

Is that you won't unlock higher difficulties xddd

[sterile tendon]

level 30 skit in malice

[acoustic dagger]

Yes literally lmao

It's more common than you think

[fiery onyx]

I was one of them when I first started

Never went above heresy, was afraid I would be a liability

[stiff pier]

It seems I'm really in luck because just YESTERDAY I did the twins mission for the first time

[acoustic dagger]

I remember doing it once for shits and giggles and I got matched with some other guys that just struck up a lil convo with one another talking about having exhausting day at their jobs n shit

[stiff pier]

And did hard mode in that run as well

Essentially just duoing with a friend

And now I find out you can cheese xp with it? Perfection

[acoustic dagger]

Based I managed to beat hardmode twins like a mo ago

[sterile tendon]

level 10k gamer coming outta the hyperbolic twins chamber

[stiff pier]

I got all 3 twins insignias in 1 run xdddd

The green, blue and purple ones at once

[stiff pier]

I was actually surprised about how hard it was

Since I never did the twin fight

I assumed it was gonna be as easy as just the twins in havoc 40

[acoustic dagger]

Damn

[stiff pier]

Still it was fine I was more worried about My friend in the duo

But they held well and we ended up winning

[acoustic dagger]

To me twins are the hugest diff spike in the game

Orthus offensive in particular has to have the lowest WR of any mission even without the powerleveling trick

But ever since twins got added in havoc I've seen them regularly wipe randoms in like sub 2 minutes

Pubs focus on rinda step on rodin's gas mines and eat shit. Every time

[stiff pier]

I'm surprised to see people die to them in Havoc

[acoustic dagger]

You should join h21 pub lobbies sometime

[sterile tendon]

blame it on shield bug

[acoustic dagger]

Wasnt that fixed

[sterile tendon]

fix broke

[acoustic dagger]

I havent had it happen in over a month now

[stiff pier]

I'm pretty sure shield bug doesn't happen with twins?

Only with caps methinks

[stiff pier]

I've had shield bug happen to me recently

So it's still here

[stark fiber]

Sweet sweet ryza and metalica robes here I come

Last one to wake up at a sleepover

Hope there's a Stygies VIII colour, probably my favourite forge world

[twin wasp]

They release the blog not 10 mins after i checked if it was out smh

[heavy citrus]

its only these 3

i think

at least that's what they mentioned

similar to how scum got 3 colors for 3 gangs

oh right 4

[gusty siren]

YEEEees

[fiery onyx]

They're so fucking COOL

I can't wait to put as much metal as possible

[sharp aurora]

I think the character creator of skitarii is unique as fuck

[stiff pier]

So this is what is gonna happen:

Red will be for new people
White will be for the wanna bes
And Orange will be used by the megatryhard

[elder sky]

Yeah the two on the right almost look like rad-decayed vanguard, interesting

[stiff pier]

Mark my words

holy shit they are so ugly without armor

I look forward to customizing my human jerky

I don't make the rules

It's like the insignia thing

Newbies will use ASS

Wanna bes will use havoc forged/true survivor

[spark kettle]

I hope we get to pick what fucked up cadaver is our flesh body and that they didn't just pick one of those very gnarly concepts to be everyone's "base".

[stiff pier]

Mega tryhards use Reject

[lean glen]

Usually a Vet in my experience

[sharp aurora]

does this mean we aint getting shit for a week or that the art team aint gonna do devblogs so maybe we get to see abilities and stuff

[jagged marten]

lol

we are fallout 1 ghouls in this bih

we dried jerky out here

[dusky sparrow]

prolly aint shit for a week as they drip feed us blogs

[tacit yarrow]

I'm so happy a Warhammer 40k game is finally exploring skitariis so thoroughly 🥹

[lean glen]

Ok, real talk, I always wanted to play a ghoul in Fallout. I tried so hard in Fallout 3 to become one because healing from radiation sounded great

[median yacht]

40k bbl

[sharp aurora]

cruel

[lean glen]

There should have been a game where you play as a Skit leading a squat like Republic Commandos. That would be fo fucking good

[sharp aurora]

peak physique

[dusky sparrow]

think we'll be able to do the no clothing glitch for our skitarii and see this?

[sharp aurora]

I think Ill just go mars red

too iconic

[median yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/venom-milk-nut-bust-drinking-gif-9874282713063312404

[tacit yarrow]

Yes, please. Omnissiah knows I would never stop playing that game.

[dusky sparrow]

same, though i will think about white bc ive been readings some cain novels and it sounds interesting

[potent anchor]

Branx-Minor Skitarii robes look so cool

[median yacht]

republic commandos is such a good game

[tacit yarrow]

Damn straight

[marble obsidian]

Dang I'm smart

[lean glen]

The blue and white is so good. I'm picking that one

[median yacht]

and it is a war crime that we haven't gotten more like it

[dusky sparrow]

first time ever having skitarii playable in an FPS, let alone admech

[median yacht]

how many 40k FPS games even are there

like 3?

4?

[tacit yarrow]

This is like a dream update come true, I swear to the Machine God.

[uncut cloak]

fire warrior, this one

[dusky sparrow]

uhhh darktide obv, fire warrior, and what else?

[lean glen]

🤓 umm, acshually, we had a Power Washer DLC as a Tech Priest

[uncut cloak]

i remember another where you are a spess mareen

[median yacht]

space hulk deathwing, boltgun

[tacit yarrow]

Boltgun?

[dusky sparrow]

ah yeah boltgun

[hasty halo]

the terminator game too

[tacit yarrow]

Deathwing too, yes. Thank you

[median yacht]

also the mercenary game

[dusky sparrow]

necromunda?

[median yacht]

yeah that one sucks

[dusky sparrow]

unfortunately

[median yacht]

i wanted to like it so bad

[lean glen]

Hired Gun!

[uncut cloak]

crazy how there are two necromunda games

and they both suck ass

[dusky sparrow]

same team as deathwing i think which is unlucky

both cool concepts but the development just aint there

[lean glen]

The bones of a good game where there

Just not the meat

[tacit yarrow]

Oh yeah! That one had a pretty good health restoration mechanic

[potent anchor]

What forge world are you guys planning on doing for your skitarius?

[uncut cloak]

meet potential game

[queen aurora]

Another huge task was to visualise the room where you will create your player character. It’s the inner sanctum of the old Adeptus Mechanicus facility that Hadron Omega-7-7 has gotten access to, and it is here standard Skitarii are upgraded into the Alpha Primus variant.
Yeah

[wet ginkgo]

branx because cool white robes

[tacit yarrow]

So we got like 5 FPS Warhammer 40k games

[gusty siren]

i liked EYE more than hired gun

[lean glen]

There was some stuff missing with it but for a boomer shooter is was fun!

[dusky sparrow]

likely mars or maybe branx minor, i'll have to see in-game what i decide

the white robes are sick but red is ICONIC

[potent anchor]

Same, Branx seems better lore wise. Mars is always cool looking too

[wet ginkgo]

I just know people are gonna pick white robes for something else

https://tenor.com/view/peacemaker-running-run-leave-quick-gif-25686144

The larpers approach

[heavy citrus]

for what

[jagged marten]

we are ALL choosing the kkk skitarii robes

[heavy citrus]

ahh

[tacit yarrow]

Oh absolutely. I really enjoyed the portrayal that game did of bolters and plasma weapons.

[potent anchor]

😬

[dusky sparrow]

surprised there isn't a 4th option for forgeworlds, since both Arbites and Hive Scum have 4 options for faction

[wet ginkgo]

You like white robes to be a supremacist, I like white robes because it is far more badass and makes me a knight boy

[heavy citrus]

he aint wrong that white and blue look suplime

any fellow skkkitari members

[jagged marten]

(for legal reasons this is a joke)

[potent anchor]

I assume there will be a fourth one, these are just the ones in concept art rn

[tacit yarrow]

Thank you for this blessed gift, Omnissiah. 🙏

[lean glen]

I like the white and blue because I have a brother that did black and red when customizing back in the day and I like contrast.

[jagged marten]

dilara would unironically say this

[potent anchor]

I can’t wait to do the mission where you restore the steel mill with a full skit team

[flint cosmos]

I know it’s not happening but hoping for Stygies VIII

[heavy citrus]

no dilara would think im serious and ban me '

this is so sad!

Man's gonna get ash baby'd

So it seems its offical, that this is the Branx Minor colour sheme?

Yeah I’m guessing

Probably smell just as bad too

I honestly prefer this interpretation of the blast pistol

ofc the image isnt loading

Sorry

[dim pulsar]

if you look at the codex for admech

or search up stygies VIII skitarii

[tacit yarrow]

Extremely based Skitarii commander and choice of name

[dim pulsar]

you can see the codex art of a ranger with the blast pistol

and the entire cylinder magazine is a cartridge that pops out

I guess it makes more sense like how they show it now but like its a bit weird seeing bullets in it

[acoustic dagger]

[gusty siren]

i mean
you can just handwave that with the whole 'different patterns between forge worlds' thing

True

[gusty siren]

Branx Minor just be like that

[dim pulsar]

It does look to be a different pattern of phosphor blast pistol

[sharp aurora]

this skitarii class looking very very hot

[lean glen]

Branx Minor moving different

[dim pulsar]

idk I hope it keeps the bright ass ball of white

[sharp aurora]

I will be running around naked

branx minor is drippy af

So hot it boils nearby bodies of water and cooks allied troops.

[dusky sparrow]

speaking of, no cancer gun to kill my teammates with is sad

Most Zealots don't like Hadron or the Cult Mechanicus from the convos I've heard, so I can't see them liking the Skitarii

[tacit yarrow]

Please refrain from using such terms while operating on the noosphere. It pollutes the data streams.

[jagged marten]

the zealots will 100% try do debate skitarii on the omnissiah

i sincerely hope we get a line about clankers

thats a star wars thing

and i adore that this is the first official art of skitarii under the armor

[jagged marten]

when did you last play rogue trader

[silk lantern]

hi quickpaw

[jagged marten]

cause the bath was a thing added later in the game i believe

[tacit yarrow]

Thank you so much for the blog post! It was wonderful to read about the upcoming class. Truly a dream come true! :D

[white blade]

I remember when it gave me the option to call people up for a bath and I was severely disappointed I couldn't call literally the entire party up

[austere comet]

at launch

[jagged marten]

yeah so a LOT has changed

[austere comet]

bahahaha

[jagged marten]

and you can take a bath with every companion

[austere comet]

DLC or free updates?

[white blade]

It's a rather large bathtub, we could have party meetings there

[lean glen]

The dev blog showing that we are, in fact, jerky people, is great. I can't wait to hear the voices.

lmaoo

[jagged marten]

Sorry I'm a larper and idc about warhammer overall

What are the colors

[tacit yarrow]

Part of me still can't believe this is real. God, this is such great news.

[austere comet]

We were super excited to get to be the first ones to portray this visually!

[stiff pier]

When gameplay dev blog?

[white blade]

Is DT actually the first place to do skitarii under their armor?

[acoustic dagger]

left is mars middle is ryza right is branx minor which is the darktide homebrew forgeworld we get most of our guns from

[jagged marten]

(not my screenshot)

[tacit yarrow]

Thank you for pushing the envelope and adding so much never before seen details to the skitariis!

[austere comet]

We talk a bit more about that in the character creation dev blog... next week (tm)

[jagged marten]

ohh now this is juicy

[lean glen]

So many firsts. I do hope that GW can see this and make more Skitarii based FPS. Like I said before, a Republic Commando style Skitarii would go hard.

[viscid sparrow]

Branx Minor is the primary forge world of Moebian Domain IIRC.

[jagged marten]

@proven storm screenshot that please

Glad Ryza is there such a fun colour (and paint)

Can't confirm exact date, but it's coming!

[proven storm]

am I quickpaws keeper?

[ashen jay]

yeah the phosphor pistol feels like its clashing with the lore. From what I knew it shoots like large calibre spheres of phosphor that stick to the target

[jagged marten]

keeper of secrets

[acoustic dagger]

I'm expecting next blog to be next friday

[pulsar locust]

I love how Fatshark didn't chicken out and actually portray the gruesome reality of Skitarii instead of just slapping a helmet on placeholder head. I'd love to be able to customize my skitarius flesh part mutilation. Would that be possible?

[jagged marten]

btw quickpaw i genuinely reccomend replaying rogue trader with season pass 1

its genuinely a much much better experience than launch

[pallid rock]

The one with Pascal is hilarious

[austere comet]

Maybe one day, but while I adore owlcat games they do cause a lot of fatigue. I still have to do a second playthrough of Kingmaker and WoTR!

[neon galleon]

All of this goes through GW approval. They work actively with the devs for these, if it was lorebreaking it wouldn’t make it past production.

[jagged marten]

then wait until infinite museion and the processional release

[austere comet]

The full details on character customization will drop next week 😄

[wet ginkgo]

Weekly meetings with GW

[dim pulsar]

Yeah

[dim pulsar]

fr

[dusty lantern]

Same, they could've easily skipped that part but they didn't

[wet ginkgo]

[white blade]

Excited for this one tbh

[wet ginkgo]

We about to be blessed

[white blade]

I really want to see what personality options we get

[dusty lantern]

I do like the Branx Minor color scheme

[wet ginkgo]

Same

I must know the voice cast

[jagged marten]

these are the new bionic limbs for infinite museion btw

[austere comet]

ooo sick

[dim pulsar]

I'm actually glad that fatshark actually created a color scheme for branx minor

[tacit yarrow]

Looking sick!

[jagged marten]

(i really like rogue trader so im gonna nerd out about it lol)

[dim pulsar]

Dark Heresy and rogue trader didn't really make any new ones (ig rogue trader kinda???)

[ashen jay]

I mean its the same like with the arc rifle. We just have a different pattern yada yada. But as someone else pointed out we have existing concept art where the entire barrel assembly is swapped iirc

[tacit yarrow]

Hard same, honestly

[cinder leaf]

I want my beep boops

[dim pulsar]

I was really hoping the lathe worlds would get their own color scheme in dark heresy but it seems not

all mars schemes

[heavy citrus]

devs take liberities with a lot of weapons
melta rifle is done differently in many games

[proven storm]

Big same. I also called it would be blue
Moebians are blue at heart

[dusty lantern]

I'm totally not picking Branx Minor because of it being close to Branx Magna where i made my very first character/oc veteran

[heavy citrus]

if gw who's notorious for interfering doesnt care then why should we

[pulsar locust]

I wish we get more augmentations for Skitarii some day - but that's like asking for more arbites outfits lol

[gusty siren]

yayyy

[viscid sparrow]

Might go Branx Minor for mine, I like the character to be from the Moebian Domain and the color scheme is pretty good.

[jagged marten]

imagine we actualy get a color for the atoma manufactorum

[ivory drum]

im really glad darktide lasguns dont shoot yellow blasts

[dusty lantern]

I dig how they are bold with White/Blue combo

[tacit yarrow]

Machine God, I wish.

[white blade]

Isn't it the white and blue?

[snow relic]

Mars Forge World, #1

[ashen jay]

because having a i dunno 30mm phosphor sphere burn into a target sounds much cooler than a bullet hitting it. I am not hating it, but the og version would have been more unique 😄

[jagged marten]

thats branx minor

[gusty siren]

in the 41st millennium, if you couldn't pack horribly bright burning incendiaries into a .50BMG-size bullet, then you did something wrong

[dusty lantern]

Branx Minor gang assemble

[white blade]

I see I see

[pallid rock]

The white and blue is branx the local forge world

[proven storm]

I mean I think it'll still shoot phosphor it's just how you reload it is bullets.

[viscid sparrow]

Branx Magna is an Industrial World you can choose at character creation, Branx Minor is in the same system that's a Forge World.

[pallid rock]

I want to see a whole army in the branx color scheme. It looks so good

[ashen jay]

Honestly the branx minor variant colour theory wise is a bit meh. the white and light blue without an accent colour for the blue is visually a bit unpleasant. Deimos has a brown orange to complement the light blue.

Stygies and Metallica is what I want

should be fairly easy for them to add though since its literally 3 colours to swap

[viscid sparrow]

I'm a little iffy on the red pants and orange kneecaps for the Branx color scheme.

[snow relic]

The monkey paw, curls a finger. Your wish is granted.

But it's T'au Sept Bork'an

[tacit yarrow]

Aight. I'll take it.

[ashen jay]

[tacit yarrow]

God damn, that goes hard.

[ashen jay]

which explains the situation that its literally a revolver with a barrel for each round

[acoustic dagger]

aren't both stygies and metallica just different mixes of black and red

[jagged marten]

i do think these are smaller than ordenary phospor blasters

[worthy knot]

Gloop

[acoustic dagger]

wait no metalica is white and red mb

[ashen jay]

stygies is red with quite a bit of black, metallica is pretty much white with red accents

[acoustic dagger]

I think I'll definitely go with ryza, red is generally my least favorite color for clothing

[worthy knot]

Roundfish better let us give ourselves number names

[viscid sparrow]

So i take it these things will cause a burn DoT?

[silk lantern]

A revolver thats actually a six shooter lesgo

[jagged marten]

hopefully

[ashen jay]

yeh ours looks and feels like a traditional revolver while the OG concept art feels more like a low velocity grenade launcher type thing like the milkor.

[viscid sparrow]

I think they confirmed they can use numbers like the Cyber-Mastiff

[acoustic dagger]

I think there's official confirmation somewhere on the forums for this yeah

[worthy knot]

Finally

I can larp as a replika

https://tenor.com/view/signalis-eule-star-gif-897745723297288423

[acoustic dagger]

Schnapper finally taking to the field..

[heavy citrus]

fair but im just saying stuff is approved by the big jay double u

[jagged marten]

@vapid ingot

[heavy citrus]

so i wouldnt worry about condradicting the lore

[tacit yarrow]

https://tenor.com/view/squid-game-squid-game-3-squid-game-season-3-gi-hun-front-man-gif-310917822261103384

[proven storm]

Already confirmed by the lovely quickpaw

[tacit yarrow]

Hell yeah.

[worthy knot]

Is that for everyouppy

Or just skitarii

[silk lantern]

Just skit

[worthy knot]

Will my arbites be stuck w roman numerals

Zigh..

[jagged marten]

gonna take out quickpaw for dinner if the next devblog is a banger

[worthy knot]

Gonna take out quickpaw ?

Violent..

[ashen jay]

I mean I am not one of those purists. My interpretation of lore is "whatever works"
I was interested in the gameplay idea of launching full calibre phosphor spheres at the target like large bore hunting weapons.
This feels more like box standard revolver with glowy bits.
Doesnt mean its bad, just not what I had hoped 😄

[jagged marten]

https://klipy.com/gifs/chace-crawford-the-boys

[acoustic dagger]

Sure lol

[dusky sparrow]

very important: can i use π?

[mellow storm]

it is a number

[heavy citrus]

they prolly dont wanna add even more dot weapons

especially after how broken scum turned out to be
