skitarii-class

[abstract seal]

do you think rustalker have stealth or somthing similar

[lean glen]

Theories are things like Bardin jump or hot swapping their hands to Cord Claws and going on a ripper. Ruststalkers don't really have 'stealth' and are more like beserkers.

[pallid rock]

We already have two classes with stealth ults we probably don't need a third

[abstract seal]

then they should fix vet stealth for my taste and give it snipers and other slower range weapons

more akin to hunter from vt2

[jagged marten]

the trailer for skitarii has chordclaws

[viscid sparrow]

Sniper weapons don't really fit into darktides gameplay, the only enemy who attacks from significant range is the Scab Sniper. Closest to a sniper you get is the Helbore.

[snow relic]

Skiitarii get claw weapons than ogryn get power fists

[lean glen]

That's my theory. The ult for the Ruststalker will be the Cord Claws and killing people.

[icy briar]

it's just a realistic depiction more like, 40k's models and art can be a bit too overly oversized and stuff

[jagged marten]

i think itl actually be a blitz

like a swipe on a cooldown

[lean glen]

I think the blitzs will be connected to our skull but that's a neat idea

[abstract seal]

and i love the synths by the end of the skitarii trailer

[fiery onyx]

i hope we'll hear more of it, and they'll actually release it this time

[abstract seal]

they do it in waves kuva they did it by hivescum

[snow relic]

I think they'll be weapons

Not a ability

[abstract seal]

the deluxe pack shown 6 weapons like it did by hivescum and arbites hat only 4 so i think only those we saw gonna be in the game

though it could happen that some exclusive weapons could be non so exclusive anymore like the crusher from zealot by the arbites

[fiery onyx]

i meant the music

they still haven't released the hivescum trailer music

[abstract seal]

oh... when i want this type of music i hear ghostrunner 2 ost though it is more action oriented

[gusty siren]

darktide's story will end when morrow is resurrected as an imperial saint and blows up john admonition 🔥

[pallid rock]

that'd be peak

Hire fans gw

[gusty siren]

it'll be like the end of Blood Debts

[neon galleon]

Scab snipers are super funny because they either shoot at you point blank or sometimes the director spawns them MILES AWAY in some forgotten corner of the map

those moments are super scary and always catch me off guard

https://klipy.com/gifs/orange-cat-gets-flung-and-explodes-funny

[viscid sparrow]

Scab Flamers perform similiarly in my experience, either they die instantly accomplishing nothing or they manage to split up the team and/or down multiple people

Or the AI director stops messing around and spawns a scab flamer and trapper at the same time.

[gusty siren]

was the last hour just purged or am i crazy

[abstract seal]

the sniper spawns behind you and literally kicks you in the ass

[jolly plank]

YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

THANK YOU FAT SHARK

[ashen jay]

huh, I just went throught it again and cant find it

[jolly plank]

FOR ANSWERING MY PRAYERS

[ashen jay]

have a timestamp for claw in the trailer?

[abstract seal]

scratches all weapons accidentally

[ashen jay]

ah the concept art

I mean there was also vanguard concept art

both are things I am kinda not expecting to get really

also chordclaw has only 3 fingers ? edit: actually has 4 but fingers look different

I would say that looks more like concept art for a generic hand

[neon galleon]

Nah

[vapid ingot]

TRUE

[sharp aurora]

I need more skitarii reveals

[jagged marten]

why wouldnt we if they directly show them

they even teased that chaos cultist

[sharp aurora]

BMO-67

[abstract seal]

abomition buffer

[spring ether]

drop the Chaos beat

[proven storm]

I think they meant a skitarii vanguard not the new enemy a vanguard

[lean glen]

It's just a cacophany of fart noises

[jagged marten]

THATS WHAT I MEAN

THE COSMETICS

[proven storm]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-shake-rat-shaker-ratsturbation-gif-15464047091875296077

[abstract seal]

them it is fartstep, dubstep or techno mixxed with farts

[ashen jay]

they also showed hivescum gameplay and them painting warhammer fantasy minies and a dog.

they talked about the art process

and there is so and so much concept art that doesnt get realised

[abstract seal]

i would personally preffer chaosbeat from tzeentch or khorn instead of nurgles

[pallid rock]

Almost certain we won't see mixed god units

[warm pulsar]

me when i fucking get you

[icy reef]

reverb_fart.mp3

[misty tree]

Hyped for Skitarii, we're gonna see nothing but 4 man hit squads for a good while

[lean glen]

As the Omnissiah intended!

[misty tree]

the nurgle cultist are gonna be wiped out so hard we're getting genestealer faction instead is my copium

[wet ginkgo]

thats what we said since arbites and scum came

[misty tree]

Well, policemen and some drug dealers are nothing compared to tech guards, this time it gotta be real. Third times the charm

[lean glen]

I do love that it's Hadron upgrading us. I do have to ask, is she finding wounded Skitarii and just going 'I have an offer you cannot refuse' to our tin can asses?

[misty tree]

I'm looking forward to the voicelines, we're gonna see the more nice side of her for once i guess

[fiery onyx]

doubt it would be a nice side

less insulting perhaps

[lean glen]

'Varlets, take care of the Alpha Primus. They just got new knees and cannot run as fast.'

[jagged marten]

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.

[lean glen]

It likes she's flexing on the Forge Worlds going 'I'm fixing your mistake' and giving us free will as well

[thin birch]

skitarii skitarii YAYY

there's Ryza im so excited

Ryza admech are my favorite Warhammer faction

YAY my funny rifle dudes

i know ryza is plasma tech but sitll yay

:3 hooway uay

[earnest ember]

I'll probably go Mars like Mommy Hadron

[vivid knot]

Do we get Lucius?

[acoustic dagger]

Doesn't matter I like that orange a lot

[lean glen]

We only got the three so far but I'm going to bank on there being 6 homeworlds to chose from

[vivid knot]

Noted

[fiery onyx]

i hope there's more

I don't wanna go the most seen red

don't like the orange one and i have my reasons not to like the third option

[thin birch]

Ryza <3

[dense solstice]

Me and the boys rocking up with this springs new mechanicus fashion

With the chrome skeleton finish just to flex

I do hope the voicelines change depending on your home world

[thin birch]

me too

im reinstalling the game just for this class

actually spacemarine 2 added a technarine so ima reinstlal that too

i love admech !! yippie yay!

theyre what makes warhammer feel like warhammer to me

[dense solstice]

This class been in development since before Arby

[frigid monolith]

YES

YES

YES

SCREW YOU AND YOUR STUPID MARKETABILITY COMMENTS @jade thistle

[dense solstice]

So this shit better have some uniqueness to it

Damn near a year plus in the oven

[frigid monolith]

AND BRANX MINOR

RAAAAAAGH

[novel cedar]

Finally we are getting my favorite faction as a playable class!!!! Hopefully we get sicarian cosmetics and a ripclaw talent so I can really play a rust stalker!

[frigid monolith]

I AM RISEN

[dense solstice]

Would be funny to see someone make a comically short skit

[jagged marten]

You can def notice it

[frigid monolith]

EXPLODES SILLY DRAGON WITH MY MIND

[jagged marten]

The class is so detailed from the blogs alone

[dense solstice]

I mean from what the devs were saying

[jagged marten]

And an entirely uniwue character creator

[dense solstice]

An admech class is a long time coming

[thin birch]

i want wait to skitarii hooway

[novel cedar]

Acesss will be granted

[dense solstice]

They just didn’t have the story implications for them to be on Tertium

[thin birch]

i hope mine will be nice to the ogryns

[dense solstice]

Until now

So this warrants more questions

[thin birch]

Tertium becoming avengers endgame for some reason

[dense solstice]

How far away are we story wise to a new class

[frigid monolith]

They have been building up to it pretty plainly though

[novel cedar]

Please oh great devs give me sicarian abilities

[dense solstice]

The expeditions and the Gloriana sure

[dense solstice]

But I guess the factory was loke

[jagged marten]

Jumpscare

[dense solstice]

The defacto reason

[thin birch]

me kinda

[frigid monolith]

Granted

The "oh wow grendyl refuses to requisition skitarii" kind of made me sad

[dense solstice]

I’m guessing this is a case of

Hadron going behind Grendyl’s back

And going

[frigid monolith]

Cause like ratlings, the marines, and SoB, it was like
"Damn they making sure we cant in lore"

[thin birch]

where is this from i havent played since carnival

[dense solstice]

“Oh shit we found something big”

[frigid monolith]

Nope! He just wouldn't ask for them himself.

[lavish smelt]

No Man's Land

[frigid monolith]

Much like the Arbites...they're here no matter what Grendyl wants.

[dense solstice]

Someone had to have sent the info out tho

[thin birch]

i wonder if theres a chaos person named Beowulf

[dense solstice]

It’s not like they saw people turning into shit eaters and are helping out of the kindness of their hearts

Someone shot out a sos that some important shit was found

And the salvage teams are showing up en masse to preserve it

[proven storm]

"We are here to help. Do not resist."

[novel cedar]

Chordclaw talent anyone?

[dense solstice]

I wanna hold onto this for a second

Cause it was mentioned that the Arby’s were always gonna take action before the inquisition

Grendy just stalled them for a bit

For whatever personal reason he has

[jagged marten]

Airlocked the 500 thousand grimoires we collected

[left drift]

No way we don't get stuff like that. One of the roles they describe on the DLC page is "a frenzied servant of the Omnissiah carving through flesh with a Transonic blade". Sounds pretty clear that there's going to be melee builds that take after Sicarians.

[young panther]

The problem is the Inquisition's power is not infinite

and Grendyl's repeated failures to contain the problem have made other factions with a claim to action move in

[dense solstice]

That aswell

Us being low on man power

We really don’t have bargaining chips

And Rannick realized it’s easier to just allow anyone with a army

And a love of the emperor

To fight

[young panther]

mechanicus and 'love of the emperor' is a 50/50

[dense solstice]

It’s less troops has has to indoctrinate, and kit out

[dense solstice]

Potato potato

[left drift]

I think it's more like "We want Moebian Steel. Are you going to stop us from 'helping'?"

[dense solstice]

It’s still bodies on the field in a war where our side is hemorrhaging bodies

[thin birch]

If you’ve played Darktide recently you probably have been out in the Deadside to help Hadron Omega-7-7 finding Tech-Remnants.

The success of these discoveries has led to several Forge Worlds deploying their forces to aid the battle for Tertium.

[young panther]

Arbites want to reinstate the lex
Mechanicus wants the factorums to run uninterrupted, moebian steel and the alpha primus skitarii

[dense solstice]

That end part is what I wanna know more about

[young panther]

question is

who else is gonna sit at the table ?

[dense solstice]

Why this factory in specific

Aren’t there other factories that can do the same thing

[left drift]

Hive Scum want to return to the status quo of the Conclave being lords of the underhive, rather than the Cult

[young panther]

fragment of an STC probably ?

[frigid monolith]

They would probably have gotten in the way

[left drift]

Every factory is important in a galaxy-wide war. Plus, this one makes Moebian Iron and Moebian Steel, which are high-quality.

[frigid monolith]

The marshall was very uh

Territorial about his job

[dense solstice]

I can foot this idea then

[young panther]

an fragment STC for alpha primus skitarii
along with Moebian Iron and Steel regular factories all across the hive is my guess

[dense solstice]

Whatever upgrades we’re getting

Basically is putting like

Tank armor on a soldier

Instead of like

Basic or cheaper carapace

Swap out the parts for mob steel for more wear and tear resistance

[thin birch]

june cant come sooner ugh

[left drift]

The change from a regular Skitarii to an Alpha Primus is more one of independence. Regular Skitarii are close to automatons and can't function independent of tech-priest control. Alphas can work on their own.

[young panther]

they are not quite automatons !

[thin birch]

it does say that in the reveal

[young panther]

thats a misconception

[dense solstice]

I fucking praaaay

I hoooope

It’s like a side story

[thin birch]

Hadron has now been given the whereabouts of an old Adeptus Mechanicus facility that can upgrade a Skitarii Veterans into the more elite Alpha Primus variant.

[left drift]

I know they aren't COMPLETELY automatons but they're not designed to be on their own

[thin birch]

the alpha primus can

[left drift]

Exactly my point

[dense solstice]

It would be fucking amazing if like

[young panther]

regular skitarii can very much be without a tech priest
the reason why alpha primus skitarii are special is because of their equipment and improved independence not just that they have independence

[dense solstice]

The class starting missions is you finding the facility and clearing it out

[thin birch]

yeah regular skitarii more like recyclable ground units that die from the radiation eventually right?

[left drift]

Regular Skitarii can't do missions like we do, but Alpha Primus have the independence and cognitive power to be left unsupervised

[young panther]

regular skitarii are at a reduced strength without a tech priest leading them

[dense solstice]

And slowly beginning the process to being fully upgraded once you hit level 30

[young panther]

Pretty sure the processis complete on character creation ?

[thin birch]

i like how the starter 4 are prisoners then we just have judge dredd, crimnal and now admech

[pallid rock]

Yeah. Character customization IS the upgrade

[dense solstice]

So under this assumption

The facility is already under our control

[young panther]

like we are a regular skitarii rebuilt into alpha primus right out of the gate

yeah thats what was said !

Hadron was authorized to turn a bunch of skitarii into alpha primus

and many forgeworlds came

[thin birch]

Their mechanised brains are force-loaded with advanced tactics, combat data and weapon proficiencies, freeing them to operate more independently from their fellow Skitarii.

[young panther]

to get the upgrade

and help liberate moebian steel

basically the plot is

Hadron found a fancy STC fragment that turns regular skitarii into skitarii+

[thin birch]

god admech make me want to autism qbout warhammer again

[young panther]

and called up her buddies and said "You want some of that people's ganja ?"

[thin birch]

sorry snow elves i got to machine

[dense solstice]

Mechanicus bought the subscription

[left drift]

Yeah, we start out as Alpha Primus already

[jagged marten]

We got an ice dweller in the chat

[thin birch]

Auri-El 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[young panther]

A xenos ! purge'em

[thin birch]

come to the chantry twin get the bow twin

[young panther]

purge the xenos then 'liberate' their technology

[left drift]

I'm from Stygies VIII and I say, uh... well, I'll get censured for tech-heresy.

[young panther]

of course paint it red

[jagged marten]

The eogunn grindset

[young panther]

Also I wonder why people are surprised about Branx being around

[thin birch]

i think the cog wheel skill system will be sick

[dense solstice]

Was really hoping for the black robes

[left drift]

Branx has been in the game since the beginning, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. We've been getting Branx-pattern weapons for a while.

[dense solstice]

But I’ll settle for the white and blue

[jagged marten]

Actualy

We might get more forgeworld colors

[left drift]

It's possible that the 3 they showed aren't the only forge-world options

[young panther]

who knows we might get more forgeworlds @dense solstice

[pallid rock]

There may well still be more options

[jagged marten]

Or fatshark lets us color our metal and robes independantly

Like hairstyles

Just free color picks

[young panther]

it shouldn't be hard for there to be more forgeworld colors if.. IF

they let the cosmetics color according to our choices

[dense solstice]

I don’t think we’d get that level of customization

[left drift]

It says you pick what forge-world you come from, so I wouldn't expect free color choice

[young panther]

which I hope they do

since it would be weird

[thin birch]

is there a melee spear yet

[dense solstice]

Free coloring our armor would be nice tho

[young panther]

to pick forgeworld Y and suddenly turn into a marsian ruststalker

[left drift]

It would be nice but we've never had it before

[thin birch]

ima make my teal copper admech 🗣️🗣️

[young panther]

right but we never had a faction where we pick the colour of armor @left drift as part of our background and character creation

[thin birch]

actually is there water world themed admech?

[young panther]

like

skin and armor

you can't just

[thin birch]

i know ryza go underwater to search for resources

[young panther]

put red plate on a blue skitarii ya know ?

[left drift]

I mean, you get to pick the decals on your Arbitrator based on their post

[dense solstice]

My eyes

[young panther]

🙏 fatshark I beg thee give us purple skittles

i will even take

pale purple

[dense solstice]

I really

Really

[young panther]

or purple-ish grey

[dense solstice]

Really

Hope we can get those thick plated legs

Them shits look clean

[left drift]

Don't get me wrong, I wish I could have free colorization. I want to recreate the navy/white of my homebrew forge-world, Dreka.

[jagged marten]

Why wouldnt we?

We have limb customization

[dense solstice]

Well I mean we haven’t seen anything yet

[jagged marten]

Like almost all skitarii have those legs

[thin birch]

i like that space marine lets me use my homebrew blood angels tbh

[pallid rock]

What I'm taking from this is we will have two options
Hood and bucket

[dense solstice]

Yeah but those are meh

[thin birch]

i love the legs

[dense solstice]

I want those bulky looking legs

Like Lucius or Metallica

[left drift]

My homebrew Raven Guard are allied to some homebrew Blood Angels

[sharp aurora]

does curios blessing get stronger when I upgrade them?

[thin birch]

i have mine painted a greenish teal and named after hemolymph instead of blood

[left drift]

Mine are the Angels Azure. They recruit exclusively from nobility to try and mitigate the Red Thirst and Black Rage, to some success. Unfortunately, it means their recruitment is very slow and they're constantly tied up in bullshit feuds. The joke is that they are almost literally blue-blooded.

[jagged marten]

Well theyre not called the plasma angels now are they

[pliant hollow]

I want my Agripinaa colors fatshark pls

[pallid rock]

No you just unlock more slots. The main effect doesn't change with rarity

[left drift]

Fear not, I think Agripinaa colors are likely.

[jagged marten]

They look really cleam

[oak ember]

they all do, standard procedure

[pliant hollow]

Agripinaa and Metalica r peak

[rose spoke]

guy what color are sketare

[novel cedar]

Mmm nerostatic aura, mmm rapter legs, mmm chordclaw.

[oak ember]

rapper legs

bottom text

[pliant hollow]

Depends on their forge world

[left drift]

I think chordclaws are sadly unlikely for the same reason that we are unlikely to get Power Fists.

[jagged marten]

Theres going to be a ruststalker

[rose spoke]

what is a forge world

[left drift]

A planet covered in factories, run by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

[jagged marten]

I like making people happy

[zealous eagle]

it's a world wherte they forge

[novel cedar]

It was in the datamine

The name

[pliant hollow]

giant factory planet

[rose spoke]

what is adepus mechanus

[dense solstice]

Glorious can opener fingers

[novel cedar]

‘Chordclaw’

[left drift]

A faction within the Imperium that is essentially responsible for all technology manufacturing and maintenance. They worship the Machine God, and believe the Emperor is the "Omnissiah".

[pliant hollow]

Let me claw at ppl and my life is you're fatshark

[rose spoke]

what is machin god

[left drift]

Heck, if we get chordclaws, I'll be quite happy. I like claw weapons.

[jagged marten]

Big swipe thats a recharging blitz

Please

[dense solstice]

If that exists, I’d wager it would be something like a melee tree ult

Something like a temporary rage mode

[left drift]

Uh... a god of machines? The Mechanicus think technology is sacred and view normal operating procedures as sacred rituals.

[jagged marten]

The omnissiah

[rose spoke]

that is very interesting information 🙂

[left drift]

The Omnissiah is actually not directly the Machine God. The Omnissiah is basically Jesus, whereas the Machine God is... God. The Motive Force is the Holy Spirit. It's a very direct adaptation of the Holy Trinity.

[left drift]

They view machines as sacred and mystical because the Mechanicus doesn't understand how most of their own technology works. They just know "If I perform these steps in this order, the machine will activate properly. Praise the Omnissiah, and ready the sacred incense."

And if you tell them their god is dumb and fake and that you're gonna perform maintenance on the tank yourself, you'll get lobotomized and made into a cyborg servitor.

[jagged marten]

The ironstriders

Which they cant turn off cause they dont know how they turn on

[left drift]

Actual perpetual motion machines. What do we do with them? Uh, make em walk a lot, I guess.

[rose spoke]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-gif-8133663809373464680

[silk lantern]

Was there?

I dont remember seeing anything mentioning chordclaws

[left drift]

Yeah it turns out it's really not a good idea to insult the people that make ALL of your gear.

[silk lantern]

Those are chordclaws?

[left drift]

Yep

[silk lantern]

ig then

it prob wont be an actual melee weapon though

[spice stump]

Im guessing its part of an arm augmetic cosmetic

[silk lantern]

could also just be that

[spice stump]

Youd use a chordclaw with a transonic sword and we already saw that those are just the sword and blade

[left drift]

At the very least, they won't be a normal melee weapon at launch. I'm fairly certain the 6 weapons we're getting are the only new ones for now. Blitz is possible, but there's just too many unknowns right now.

[jagged marten]

The chordclaws will most likely be a blitz

[spice stump]

I dont believe so since they mentioned the blitzes are the servo skulls in the first blog

[silk lantern]

or an ability

[left drift]

Damn I'm excited to try each playstyle, though

[spice stump]

Amended again its on the store page where they mention the servo skull is the blitz

[left drift]

Ah, good find. The Omnissiah has blessed your ocular modules.

Then yeah, it's either an ability, or a later-down-the-line melee weapon, or just was explored but decided against

[spice stump]

I remember somewhere mentioning that the blitzes were the servo skulls I just thought it was the blog

[novel cedar]

Yea idk what the Chordclaw will be I just know it’s named in the files

Could be an ability that grants you it for a limited time

[novel cedar]

I remember talking to someone who was doing it and he said he saw it mentioned

[left drift]

I'm starting to feel like I need more direct evidence than "a guy on discord said that a guy he was talking to saw that it was mentioned"

[novel cedar]

https://youtu.be/S3OJ1EmgY4I?si=bbW8Gb5tS-fSgxlh

It was this dude I forget which of his vids tho

I commented on this one and he said it was in the game files

[left drift]

I shall scan his video on the datamine

Omnissiah willing, we shall find out

[novel cedar]

You can see his reply to my comment too there aren’t many so it won’t be hard to find

[dense solstice]

Weakness analysis doctrine

Breeeeeh

+10% damage to anyone suffering any status effect

[left drift]

His datamine video does not mention chord claws at all. I see his comment, but for now, I am unconvinced.

[dense solstice]

From bleeding

To soul blaze

For 8s

That’s kinda nuts

[mystic remnant]

place your bets, how many talents will be bugged on release

[shut tulip]

How many toasters yall have?

[mystic remnant]

i'd say at least 2 will do nothing at all and at least 5 will have some sort of discrepancy from the description

[left drift]

Considering it's all but guaranteed that Skitarii will have a lot of stuff related to electricity, I bet it'll be basically permanently active

[novel cedar]

Ye I’m just hopeful

It’s rather in depth tho

So I tend to trust his takes

[dense solstice]

I need to see if power weapons count as a special status effect

Cause ramping an enemy’s damage taken by 10%

Not including external forces

Like ogryn taunt

Or vet’s mark

That could be some nasty ass damage

[left drift]

I'm fairly sure that Power swords don't inherently apply effects

They just look all electrical as they swing

[novel cedar]

Mmm fire psych+chem scum+bleed (any)+ skitarii will do funny dmg

[jagged marten]

Realistically skitarii's melee should deal arc stacks to combo into arc rifle

[mystic remnant]

pswords can apply brittleness with a blessing but that;s it

it just has gigacleave

[left drift]

They'll get arc mauls if nothing else

One of their playstyles listed on the DLC page is "a walking storm of living electricity"

[main wing]

We get to customize our very own Sketarii nugget!

[jagged marten]

https://klipy.com/gifs/higuruma-jjk-8

[dense solstice]

Potential for rad guns

[jagged marten]

arent these just flavor texts with cosmetics

[dense solstice]

Maybe

The guy assumes it’s just left over stuff

[left drift]

With how much datamined stuff there is that still hasn't been released, I am not gonna take anything as certain until it's actually announced

[young panther]

Rad weapons ? no way ?

I want my wasted 10 seconds back

wtf did I just watch

[humble rock]

average M2 techpriest

[young panther]

ya know it says this weapon was lost after an orbital rad-barrage

so it could be the radium pistol

but am thinking a skin for another class ?

though it would be funny if it was the Gamma Pistol

[wheat timber]

inb4 Veteran just gets access to at least one of the skitty weapons as a "throw them a bone, the falchion was kinda butts" good will gesture

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-агаповерил-gif-27009975

[young panther]

Reskinned revolver

or bolt pistol xp

has its tracer replaced with the plasma gun's particle effect

and the weapon looks like it was taken out of a nurgling's ass

[wheat timber]

The coolest part will be the grip that you can never see

The rest of it will just be flaccid with physics

[haughty galleon]

inb4 it's a radium weapon and it kills them 4 minutes into a mission

[jade thistle]

Just give vet an infantry lasgun with a bayonet ez.

[wheat timber]

Veterans dying before the first bridge in any throneside mission: "yeah haha...four minutes..."

[jade thistle]

Radioprotectants.

[toxic meteor]

HOLY SHIT THERE'S A SKITARII CLASS NOW?????

[jade thistle]

Coming, not now.

[toxic meteor]

Oh

[sage coral]

Right?

[clear prism]

I very much love the idea that we make our Skitarii on top of a blank human slate, no arms, no legs, heavily augmented, and just build our bionic implants on top of that.

[fiery onyx]

I wish I could replace that torso with more metal as well

[clear prism]

The person itself or the armor?

[icy briar]

cant believe it'

only been 5 days

Also this is unique for Atoma right? I assume Branx Minor wasn't an existing forge world before Darktide?

[pallid rock]

Yeah branx is new, it's the local forge world

A bunch of the weapon marks are canonically from there

[marsh stratus]

it's also where dukane and the 53rd are from i believe

[icy briar]

got the same light blue colors as moebian regiments

well, most at least

[patent flume]

How are the penances for skitarius ?

[neat laurel]

do you think thats what the relic she found on that train was? and why it was kept so secretive? it was an STC?

[marsh stratus]

its heavily implied the new thing is related to the expeditions

the deadside wastes are full of admech hints

[gusty siren]

well one of them needs you to kiss hadron on the face grill

[eager dirge]

Theyre from branx MAGNA, the larger of the two

[patent flume]

So a penance for kissing a girl. Impossible

[marsh stratus]

ah

[eager dirge]

Yee

[mellow storm]

I'm very surprised how much I like the coloring on this for skitarii. I'm hoping in-game it continues to look better than the mars red

[oak ember]

at least darktide is giving us blue schemes

which are otherwise quite rare on the imperium side

[wheat timber]

Metalica are the closest we had before

I like the blue accents more but I'm a blue enjoyer

My love for blue with red accents started back in 1998

[willow goblet]

for me the last thing i'm left curious would be what cosmetic we are getting

[wheat timber]

For our single shop page that we'll have for 2 years?

Or you mean like what our default outfit will look like?

[willow goblet]

you son of cog machine i know that game !! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w4FJmflGwg

[wheat timber]

Negai Wish my beloved

[willow goblet]

the music appear as easter eggs in a radio broadcast in fear first recon assault game

[wheat timber]

A couple of their games had references to it, which is so fucking sad given how they're dead now

I think Blood 2 had one too

[willow goblet]

check your dm discord

[willow goblet]

both the shop and penance one

[wheat timber]

Oh yeah curious to see if the penance ones will just be the other planet color schemes

Or if it'll be like when Rejects chose their crime, and it set their pajamas color

[primal surge]

I am curios to see how many toaster references well see on launch day

[frigid monolith]

I admittedly wish branx minor was the bright ass red

[fiery onyx]

I feel like we will see way more people that put toaster in their name than actual references to one

That's like seeing a maul arbitrator called Judge Dredd

or a hivescum player called hivesCUM

I do admit though, hivescum players are more creative than arbitrator players from what i've seen

[primal surge]

Thats what i meant with references.

[fiery onyx]

Oh.

[storm mountain]

Def gonna be rocking the branx minor color scheme of the skittles armor

[sand stump]

yeah arbys just like to go in to police brutality "memes"

[primal surge]

I thought about naming my skitair in binari but i dont think we have enough letters available

[fiery onyx]

I just went with a name of one of the knights of the round table

[void ruin]

Ratchet

[storm mountain]

White with hints of orange and light blue coloring…

[void ruin]

With a servoskull named Clank

[fiery onyx]

I wanna see other color palettes before making any decisions

[sand stump]

all my darktide characters are swedish names of old ppl, so I might have to get creative with this one

[fiery onyx]

but if i were to pick between the current three, I'm going with good ol Mars red

[sand stump]

might have to do something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBS_23

[fiery onyx]

as for a name, i'll think on that one when they arrive, till then, I'll go with Cog-itator

[storm mountain]

You can

[tranquil flume]

is that so?

NICE

[wheat timber]

However, most people dont know all the letters

[tranquil flume]

they boutta find out

[wheat timber]

So naming yourself a smattering of foreign chracters will mean nobody knows how to say your name

[tranquil flume]

they boutta find out

They don't know how to say most things regardless it's fine

[wheat timber]

Hadron's subtitles just say "Omega" rather than drop Ω in front of people lmao

[tranquil flume]

That's fine

[wheat timber]

Isn't the limit still 12 characters?

[dense solstice]

18

[gusty siren]

Lykos-6Ӡ-λ

[tranquil flume]

They'd only fit 2 characters/symbols in binary then, but they'd probably figure out something in hexadecimal

"gay" in hexadecimal is 67 61 79

https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-to-binary.html this will probably help

[crystal bison]

you would know this off hand

curious

[lusty granite]

?

[crystal bison]

Hm. Humorous.

I simply cannot wait for skitarii. A month is too long of a wait for my eager heart

The character creation looks peak honestly. The maimed humanoid under-bits looking nice and horrifying

the weekly dev blogs keep my excitement high

Waiting sucks though

[fresh girder]

skitarii when?

[lusty granite]

Weekly dev blog
Then as we get closer gameplay trailer
And then people testing the game out vids before release

[fiery onyx]

i want to avoid watching the test videos to not spoil it for myself

The correlation between a surge in furries and the release of skitarii

I shall watch this with interest

[lime mauve]

furries
Excuse me, but that there is an Inner Sphere mech, not a cl*nner

[livid pecan]

I’m so excited

[pliant hollow]

Is this a Rifleman with pit vipers?

[lime mauve]

Sunder

Added to Mechwarrior 5 in the DLC that came out the other day

[mild pawn]

funny how mechwarrior has like 3000 mechs that most people will see

[pliant hollow]

I will be financially responsible and not buy the newest DLC

Until the mods I use work for it at least

[dense solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/lie-lies-liar-bullshit-so-that-was-gif-15334130

[haughty galleon]

Ok but what if the DLC is sauced and is really fun and you'd love it and by not having it immediately you're behind and get spoiled on the experience everyone else gets and you wail in agony as the fruitful days never return

[pliant hollow]

FOMO doesn't work on me, I play MMOs that take 60 hrs of straight playing to get to the newest content if ur behind

[haughty galleon]

damn ok but what if I hit you with a pretty please with a cherry on top

newest dark rites lore tidbit

[sterile tendon]

funny that they're doing this much for skitt

[dense solstice]

Oh so they aren’t naturally square

Good to know

[sterile tendon]

probably just the deluxe

Those weapons are all I'll ever use.

For melee Skitarii at least.

Super dueling sword

[haughty galleon]

Part of my brain knows it'd very instantly turn my brain into mush but the rest of it thinks that despite that it'd be so nice.

[serene totem]

are these gonmna be pay2 win blade that 1 hit kill everything ?

[dense solstice]

That’s no not how any dlc has been

I doubt that would be the case now

[haughty galleon]

It'd be quite funny for Fatshark to just be like "aight we lore accurate now" and then stuff like the transonic weapons and relic blade start rending apart bosses in one hit.

[pallid rock]

well if they are a copypaste of the VT2 weapon they will probably be instantly a super high tier melee

[shut ruin]

Probably behaves similarly to a power sword or relic blade in-game

[shut ruin]

I totally didn’t realize they were dual wielding. Honestly you’re right though. Sword and dagger in VT2 felt amazing

[hollow zephyr]

Dual wielding is always the coolest

[shut ruin]

Honestly I’d also take axe and falchion feel for a darktide weapon

[lusty granite]

Left hand dagger
Right hand sword
Unless they change it up

Odd. The servo-skull should be doing the objective for the Skitarii

[copper bridge]

I imagine skit would drop servo skull instead

Even themselves are techie

[lusty granite]

Fair, but I know the Skitarii is gonna complain when the objective needs to be restarted

[copper bridge]

Do tech priest does disrespect and frustrated of servo skull?

[late phoenix]

wonder if Hadron starts talking in binay beeps to the skitarii
would be lore accurate

[copper bridge]

Or the tech priest just accept flaw of the servo skull and regarding it

[copper bridge]

Something skit would say "The spirit-machine servo skull need a maintenance"

"By the omnissiah, I cannot tolerate the failure input"

"For sake of spirt-machine, the servo skull need to rectify this failure"

"22 - 05 servo skull, I shall send you to tech-priest for adjustment this instability"

"I am detected servo skull 22 - 05 interrogation effectiveness has halted down 100%, fleshbag, I require the spirit machine need needing a rectify faulty circuit."

[late phoenix]

if the skiatrii doesn't call the rejects pre-servitors as an insult, an opportunity has been missed

[copper bridge]

Only when bantering talk

Loose cannon could put up beef talk

[eternal current]

for the event aquilas, do i have to collect skulls at each milestone?

[lusty granite]

Yeah.

[lusty granite]

The aquilas given when everybody works together in collecting the skulls. There are personal collection to get which goes up to a 1000 but the rest is shared between everybody collecting them for the event

[copper bridge]

"I could understand you are one of those spirit machine servant, that i would say you are better to fix the servo skull without every karking time they stop working, but am glad since you here i think you can work out performance the servo skull, isn't that right" - loose cannon

"A servo skull are not one mere of a junk, fleshbag, that is our greatest omnissiah works, And you should be wary what you said to our spirit machine otherwise you want become a servitor, understand? -skittari

"I been wondering, how much you devoted your life to work with the machine, because I don't get what with god machinery things, it is the fancy metallic limbs you got make look really nice?" -the professional

"If you want to know how myself working with the omnissiah, then I will to make you as my apprentice, pre-servitor" -Skittari

///To hive scum i could think they got serious beef somewhat

Or not

Bantering beefing

I can never decide on a 'favourite' forge world because they're all so great.

Mars + most gruesome core

Very easy choice

[honest magnet]

choose mars because mars is red, and red make you run faster

[lusty granite]

lol. I gotta see the other options firstly

[mellow storm]

I'm definitely leaning toward Branx cuz I quite like the color scheme in the preview. Hopefully it'll still be that good in the game

[marble knoll]

true

[sand current]

I am curious to see what cosmetics will be in the Commodore's Vestures upon release. Arbites did have some nice drip, and I'm hoping for the same with the Skit.

[mellow storm]

i'm sure it'll be great

and equally sure we'll get one page in the slopshop and then never anything more

[sand current]

New outfits tomorrow trust

[young panther]

Hopefully one page is all we need

[sharp aurora]

Vanguard in the shop

I like the deluxe skin

[acoustic dagger]

Ryza because the mars red is overrepresented, ez

[sand current]

Yeahhh, I'm easily copping the deluxe just for the fit

[sharp aurora]

I wonder what the unlockable cosmetics will be

Hive scum and arbites do get some

[sharp aurora]

I dont even like the servo skull

But the drip is nice

Also weapon cosmetics

[sand current]

Not a fan either, but I'll probably pick it over the default servo skull

[sharp aurora]

Base helmet is also nice tbh

The round glowing eyes have some vibe

[sharp aurora]

I think Ill use default one

Deluxe one is too fresh

[sand current]

Too fleshy

[sharp aurora]

Also I can pet it cause it doesnt have candles on its head

[sand current]

I must keep candles on mine so I can see it in the dark depths of the hive city.

[lusty granite]

Well the eyes can be a different color so for default it’s headlights or the other one which looks more like the hood is covering the face.

[pastel epoch]

Unlikely, but I hope they give us an option to have "Hair" made of cables or somesuch.

It'd be fun to rock the hood-down look, cable-tresses flowing in the breeze.

[sand current]

Makes me wonder if we can look as bare-bones as possible

Full ganic, no borg

[mellow storm]

skitarii deluxe skin is baller as fuck. Slop shop is gonna have to work overtime to compete

very possible it will, but i don't expect it to

[boreal reef]

The 1 (one) allotted slop shop set is probably gonna be a marshal

[mellow storm]

that or a sicarian or whatever the bucket helmet dudes are called

these guys

[sand current]

I would absolutely love that cog helmet paired with the deluxe weapons

[sharp aurora]

Tbh people be saying it was a skitarii concept

How is that a concept

Its a skin and thats it

Its literally a helmet

[boreal reef]

I could see the vanguard helmet being a penance unlockable

[sharp aurora]

I mean they gonna put something as unlockable

Might as well be a decent helmet

[pulsar locust]

Do you think it'll be possible to remove helmet from Skitarii in game (like other classes)? Just in case I want to show the warband the beautiful fusion of flesh and machine.

[sharp aurora]

Hope so

It would be cool if you could also remove eveything else

[sharp aurora]

And run around as a naked gnarly dude

[pulsar locust]

Sadly you probably can't. It used to be a bug that allowed you to run around shirtless back then but GW said no. No more Leopard pants shirtless ogryn

[pulsar locust]

Fatshark actually wanted it to be possible to take off armor even

[ionic fable]

Okay but, if i go in to battle without armour or my cloak, Hadron's gonna chew me out when i get guts and dust in my joints again

[pulsar locust]

Apply more oil and faith in the omnissiah

[ionic fable]

Ah yes, the Oil Dispensing servo skull :D

[late phoenix]

then they gave us the twitch arm wraps, which pretty much made you shirtless anyways lol

[boreal reef]

My predictions:

• penance unlockables: skitarii vanguard and basic sicarian ruststalker/infiltrator sets
• slop shop items: skitarii marshal or hastarii-inspired set; sydonian skatros, sydonian dragoon, and pteraxii headgear

The deluxe edition set already appears to be based on the sicarian ruststalker princeps

[sharp aurora]

Isnt rust stalker the deluxe set

Ah yes

[boreal reef]

The princeps looks very different from basic ruststalkers

[sharp aurora]

Set for dual wielding

I wonder how cool transonic blades are

[boreal reef]

This description makes it seem like it's going to stagger/suppress nearby enemies when it's turned on

[sharp aurora]

They have high cleave indeed

Stun idk

Dont even electrocute

Should be good vs armor based on description

Sonic stuff isnt good on soft meat

It does mention needing to be activated

So maybe power sword mechanic

i would rather get them always on though

I mean it is its whole deal so it would be kinda weird for it to have power off mode

Also its not a broken piece of shit like power sword

Supposed to be maintained and in good condition

[boreal reef]

I'd imagine it's going to have very good cleave and rending, but be crap at blocking attacks just to balance things off

[opal thistle]

prob same heat gauge mechanic but dual wield and copied from VT2 elf's sword & dagger

[willow slate]

is the dlc class gonna cost the same as the other 2?

[sharp aurora]

It is mentioned that skitarii can somehow emit electricity aoe so it would pair well with a melee weapon that guards shit

[boreal reef]

Most likely

[sharp aurora]

I would bet it costs more

Simply cause theres more to it

[marble knoll]

xd

[sharp aurora]

Than other dlc classes

[willow slate]

i really hope not

[boreal reef]

$12 is already a steep price for a single class

[opal thistle]

presumably

[sharp aurora]

Yep

To their defence classes do give different gameplay though

Its not just different pew pew

This one has custom character creation too

[willow slate]

it's still dumb because the game isn't free to play

the game isn't cheap as well

[sharp aurora]

I mean it is

I paid 7 bucks for it

Its either 2 kinder bueno or darktide

[lusty granite]

Funny because Ps Plus is making Darktide free to play lol for June

[sharp aurora]

Choose

They need to make money if you want the game alive

I would gladly give them 20 bucks for a well made class

In a 7 bucks game

Its 20 bucks not 200

[willow slate]

i got the game gifted to me lol

[sharp aurora]

Star citizen sells 5k dollars JPEG and they dont even exist

[willow slate]

never heard of that game but sounds awful

[sharp aurora]

Its an alpha

Lmao

[lusty granite]

That game ain’t even gonna come out after GTA6 lol

[sharp aurora]

Yeah

They just surpassed 1 billion dollar in crowfunding

I doubt darktide ever made that kind of money

And all they do is sell jpegs

You buy a 5k jpeg and jerk off to sleep fantasizing of piloting a 500m long space yamato

Star citizen in a nutshell

[acoustic dagger]

Star citizen is a plague upon the games industry

[young panther]

Star citizen had people a lot more desperate for space games hooked on it like crack

I have X4 Foundations and a few other games to sate my ass

[uncut cloak]

i dunno why people would throw 1k to a stupid spaceship in a game that barely works while X4 Foundations is there

or Elite Dangerous

[young panther]

Promises Multiplayer

Will never deliver on it

[sharp aurora]

I mean star citizen isnt out because 90% of the resources go to squadroon 42

That will get delayed again

[young panther]

More money from stringing people along

[sharp aurora]

When sq42 is out it wont take long for star citizen

[balmy birch]

wasn't star citizen that one 'game' that like

sold a ship for thousands of dollars that wasn't even in the game like at all

[jagged marten]

it crossed 1 billion in funding recently

[true leaf]

they still do that btw, you can buy a ship for 6k and its only in concept

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/983370401327513690/1508139922677174303/image.png?ex=6a1bb481&is=6a1a6301&hm=a264c1fd48c849ea662ba65640e30128bd8061c0791cd1546fbc4a0ebc056f84

the more I hear about Star Citizen

the more I believe this game isn't for gamers like at all

[true leaf]

its not

[uncut cloak]

wouldn't this like

capsize once you park it

[balmy birch]

who tf is buying these $6k ships that don't even exist

[true leaf]

some oil prince

[balmy birch]

besides Elon Musk

[true leaf]

im not saying im innocent, like I put around 500 ish in that game

[balmy birch]

cus we've already established that mfer will always try to buy skill

[uncut cloak]

gachas teached me that there is always some idiots that would spend thousands for a png

[true leaf]

but I regret it

[uncut cloak]

so this isn't that much different

[balmy birch]

I mean tbf right

[true leaf]

game been unplayable for 15 years

[balmy birch]

gachas, you spend a lot of money on a character and upgrading it and pulling them or whatever

you still get that character

it's still a tangible thing you have in the game

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1313591619009777726/1442581627309133945/giphy.gif

[true leaf]

theres the same bug in the game for the past 15 years, sometimes when you jump to lightspeed you just end up outside your ship

its been in the game for 15 years

like I cant fathom why they dont patch that

[balmy birch]

surprised there's no gif of Elon Musk crying when people rightfully dunked on him for being shit at D4 and boosting

[uncut cloak]

wasn't it path of exile

[balmy birch]

no it was Diablo 4

and 3 from what I remember

[uncut cloak]

but yeah certainly a strange decision

[balmy birch]

the funniest part of that whole situation

like if news broke out that Elon Musk or some other rich billionaire was like

the #1 best gamer in a specific game

[uncut cloak]

like, nobody will think worse of you if you just hop on diablo and show you suck but you have fun

[balmy birch]

yeah no I can see it being real

[balmy birch]

that's the thing about Elon, he has everything he'd ever want except approval

[remote scroll]

having the best gaming chair and also an infinite amount of time because money is just handed to you in droves so you dont have to do anything

wheres that one website

[balmy birch]

and he's so desparate for it he'll try anything to get it except, y'know, do it genuinely

[uncut cloak]

man, remember when he had good PR

[remote scroll]

theres a website that visualizes how much wealth jeff bezos has

[uncut cloak]

until the submarine story hit

[remote scroll]

and its so depressing

[balmy birch]

remember when we were calling Elon Musk the real life Tony Stark

[remote scroll]

https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

[haughty galleon]

I still think about how the boring company was like genuinely cool and then it went so downhill so fast

like fuck yeah flamethrowers and big holes

oh... corporate greed...

[balmy birch]

I also like this one https://bezoscalculator.com/

[remote scroll]

you have to use the middle mouse button to side scroll it, dragging the bar moves it too fast

[balmy birch]

I do like the whole event where people are seeing stuff in regards to the next class drop bit by bit
What are some popular theories as to some game mechanics rn? I'm curious lol

bear in mind, I can't confirm nor deny anything until it's out in some capacity

[remote scroll]

i have a couple theories

[uncut cloak]

we have the usual sentry ability

healing servoskull

possible radiation weapon somewhere

[sharp aurora]

really hope we get radiation weapon just so we have the whole arsenal

[sharp aurora]

I thought servitor is always on like arbites dog

[uncut cloak]

i heard it's a grenade instead, but i dunno

[sharp aurora]

I think it was in the leaks that with abilities you can summon more servo skulls

with specific functions

like stim one and flamethrower

[acoustic dagger]

Idk about popular but I'm surprised skitarii will be having a dual wield melee weapon, I assumed that dual wielding was going to be exclusive to hivescum
Sounds like every skit weapon is going to apply some sort of an elemental dot effect, I wonder if there's gonna be any interactivity between different dot types
I'm also really curious if the implication that the servo skull will be able to do interrogator minigames for us is true, that could be very nice in pub missions lol

[willow goblet]

what will be your skitarii names once the class is out ? for me i have still no idea but i think u still have something ind mind to think of

[worthy knot]

I have no idea what my skitarii name would be

[boreal reef]

I have plenty of ideas

[acoustic dagger]

I have an idea but it's nothing special

[sharp aurora]

BMO-67

[boreal reef]

Enginseer-Gaming

[narrow solstice]

ED-E

Wall-E

[boreal reef]

Nuln-Oiled-Up

[fiery onyx]

Exitor-Kva-052

I like it so far, although i have no idea what exitor means

[cedar laurel]

Enhanced Tactical Humanoid

Or E3N

Or just Ethan

https://tenor.com/view/cod-call-of-duty-infinite-warfare-ethan-hello-gif-25390868

Shaman-Electrum; Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver so I hope I can have a mix of gold and silver augs

[cedar laurel]

true

[proven storm]

The class may release broken (overpowered) or broken (something doesn't work properly)

[raw coyote]

Execution Order

[proven storm]

Somehow fits both categories

Actually so does Chem dependency

[jagged marten]

i just forget that i have chem dependancy lmao

[remote scroll]

Seeing all of these name ideas
And knowing full well that numbers arent allowed in character names

Go ahead
Check

[jagged marten]

they will be for skitarii

[raw coyote]

Hive Scum can't even use "scum" in their name

The name creator is insanely restricted for some reason

[uncut cloak]

they can use HivesCum tho

[queen aurora]

might be like with arbites dog

[young panther]

I'll toss my ideas on over a bit late but ya know

• class focus on applying debuffs even in melee and ranged trees with a tankier design over the glass Cannon
• servo skull is active all the time but specific blitzes augment it giving it a temporary effect or order
• the skill tree is Ranger+Vanguard, Ruststalker, Infiltrator and a fourth one not based on any specific Skitarii but heavy focus on the arc mechanic and its interaction with buffs and debuffs
• we'll have 5 forge worlds and 3 materials to pick from (Bronze, Steel and silver)

[willow goblet]

reminder fellow skitarii

flesh is weak but the metal is strong

praise be the omnissiah

[sharp aurora]

they confirmed there will be numbers

they gave it an extremely elaborate character creation and you think they wouldnt add numbers to the names?

[heavy citrus]

where's the confirmation

[eager dirge]

Dev blog on the forum

Ill get it

[lavish smelt]

Specifically, a reply by Quickpaw

[heavy citrus]

oooooo

how many 67 names are we gonna see

https://klipy.com/gifs/fallout-new-vegas-13

[eager dirge]

Not as many as 69 names

[heavy citrus]

ill just name my guy 0101011010

insanely creative

[eager dirge]

I shall be named...

58008

[heavy citrus]

"58008 is a classic numeric joke. When typed into a digital calculator and turned upside down, the digits spell out the word "BOOBS". It relies on "Beghilos," an alphanumeric substitution system often used for classic calculator pranks, where 5 = S, 8 = B, 0 = O, and 0 = O"

[rain geyser]

I name the Skitarii MODOK

[sharp aurora]

Jarvis

[rain geyser]

How about HK-47

All joking aside I'm planning to use a Mechanicus Forge World name, + Cadian Regiment Number + former human name as a product SKU.

Which would read as Actium SKU: CAD917-Demetrius for mindwiped repurposed Cadian Shock Trooper

[molten cove]

im totally naming mine either a portal reference or an ihnmaims reference

but like butchering it to make it warhammer lore accurate

a name youd actually reasonably see on a skitarii

but with the reference there

[marble knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/doom-glowing-eyes-video-game-gif-17663260

[rain geyser]

HK would be more or less a men of iron joke

My real concern will be unlocking the vendor levels XP should roll in pretty easy as I will have a private vet party to play with

[sharp aurora]

arent normal classes skill trees with 3 branches only? Do you think it will get 4 abilities etc...?

[solar locust]

It would be cool if they let us have the choice of having one normal limb, not skitarii like but Yerg

[young panther]

we already know its a 4 way cog shape

there is some speculations as to the full tree

[solar locust]

My guesses are, Ranger, Vanguard, and marshal or ruststalker

[young panther]

for example the one from Yobi

why marshal ?

Marshal, Vanguard and Rangers are near identical

plus we already are not normall skitarii

but skitarii alpha primus

which from what we can see combine different skitarii types

so it would make more sense at least in my opinion to have actually different skitarii as the basis for the trees

[lilac prawn]

Marshals are leader skitarii with more self-autonomy to lead clades
Vanguards are more close ranged skitarii that utilize a lot of rad weapons
Rangers are the sniper scout warriors

[sharp aurora]

Yeah but 4 blitz 4 keystones and 4 skills

No class has that

23th June cant come fast enough

[proven storm]

It's probably not that

[light hornet]

No, it's not going to work like that sadly. Each spoke of the cog will have 3 aura/ability/blitz/keystone split amongst the 4 spokes evenly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3OJ1EmgY4I

This dude basically frankensteined the entire tree together from the brief image we got from the dev interview.

Will look like this most likely.

[sharp aurora]

Damn you gotta commit to get stuff

[light hornet]

it depends how many trees you want to go into for your abilities/aura/blitz/keystones.

[uncut cloak]

looks like the opposite to me

[frank kestrel]

Does it start from the middle?

[uncut cloak]

yeah

[frigid monolith]

5 nodes to an ability?

Commit?

👀

[frank kestrel]

Yeah thats the opposite really

[uncut cloak]

yeah consider that half of those are prob going to be pure ass, as in tradition

[light hornet]

You could technically do something like this and have 15 points free to do whatever.

[uncut cloak]

you just have to be chirurgical

[frank kestrel]

Really free to go anywhere

I like it allready

[frigid monolith]

Final Fantasy 14 prepared me for this...

[frank kestrel]

Something DIFFERENT

[frigid monolith]

Solely to understand "chirurgical"

[uncut cloak]

uhh

is that really such a complex word

[frigid monolith]

It-

Its a joke

[uncut cloak]

i dunno i don't play ff14
