general-chat

[tawny hearth]

naw but general knowledge and skill is more on par with something like overwatch. So they aren't the same game but the general competance of your average player trends higher than most games

[fiery wave]

You get rejected if you aren't known top players or having non-standard builds.

[thorny cave]

You can get away with being kinda meh at hd2 I feel like

[lofty wing]

That is why they make you do party finder tho, so you have a chance to coordinate before you're locked into the 60 second launch screen

[tawny hearth]

yeah i think thats what causes it... its the same in overwatch because the game is so old some players have a decade of playing under their belt which helps elevate the rest... i think the tide community is so good because the skills transfer between games nicely

[round mica]

the problem with that is nobody plays havoc so people usually just accept others without really thinking

[thorny cave]

Some play the game until they get masterfully good. It just feels good to get really high skilled at this game

[inland mantle]

Then you gotta host and pick who or what you want

[lofty wing]

Sub 30 that may be true but at 30+ people get picky

[tawny hearth]

that is true, this game rewards player skill in a way that most games simply dont

[thorny cave]

Super picky. You have to be. You don’t wanna blow one of your only three chances on a 50-50

[fiery wave]

Cos picking random players be like the above, a Vet that died less than 1 min into a H40.

[round mica]

the people at hav 40 is such a limited pool though

even more so if they are actually good at the game with good builds

[lofty wing]

You might be surprised, there's a large chunk of the community that does it weekly. A lot of them just have their normal group, or only play for like 12 hours after reset and then hibernate until the next week

[round mica]

i think this is part of the problem on why nobody wants to do the hav climb

[tawny hearth]

i need to get fully into havocs... i just haven't had the time to play as much so i have been sticking to aurics

[round mica]

if you dont have an established friend group its gonna be incredibly difficult to get to the top

also just straight up talking to each other is a huge advantage

[marsh iris]

i think 25 is my limit with whatever non-meta i had

comfort food build

[tawny hearth]

lol 90% of the time i hate when people talk outside of planning because they give me info slower than the game does

[thorny cave]

You don’t have to go “fully” in it. I think that’s a big misconceived notion. Just play a couple rounds. Make a party- pick a Psyker, vet- zealot -ogryn

[tawny hearth]

there are times that a call out is handy tho

[lofty wing]

The havoc climb is indeed brutal. I've cleared 40 like 25 times but I'm still only 36 clearance because the final climb is hard and I usually queue with party finder people so it's inconsistent win rates. But, it's the hardest shit in the game, if it was super easy that would defeat the purpose and be boring

[fiery wave]

3 oggies, 1 zealot can work, lul.

[thorny cave]

1-10 isnt too bad

[jovial pine]

havoc would make more sense if it was like dbd's ranking system (at least, the one where you went from 20 to 1 and had to prove yourself via your individual contributions) somehow. as it is now it's basically just cringe

[lofty wing]

But yeah, you don't NEED to do 40s. Even a solid 25 clear gives you a ton of resources to make like 3-4 permanent, perfect weapons

[marsh iris]

do you often pick anus rituals condition in H40

[inland mantle]

Rituals is easy when it doesnt bug out luckily if you play enough you'll know the bugged ones

[marsh iris]

because i know if you dont end the ritual, it will be kinda fucked

[thorny cave]

Isn’t this what they are doing with the difficulties on mission board?

[round mica]

im slightly interested in hav 40 but it requires playing specific builds with perfect weapons, and that im not interested in

[jovial pine]

maybe a little bit

[nimble glade]

I've been told by some players that I'm a meat grinder before. Lol

[tawny hearth]

yeah i get that i'm just a gamer so change is hard (i've done a decent amoutn of havoc stuff but often when i turn on the game i just want to chill with some auric so i keep putting it off)

[inland mantle]

Yes and no meta builds help but with enough skill anything and I mean anything can be used in h40s

[fiery wave]

Excise vault triple spawns of doom. 3 spawns close to each other that all trigger at the same time, the first one goes fast almost immediately and when you reach it, the next one goes fast.

[jovial pine]

im unsure what the attainment standards will be with the new mission board. it could be as simple as "beat 3 malice to get heresy, beat 3 heresy to get damnation, beat 3 damnation to get auric" etc

[eternal terrace]

I saw a vet use heavy sword and the slug shotgun

[round mica]

i think if alot of weapons got minor buffs havoc would have alot more people at 40

[thorny cave]

I get it.you kinda gotta flip into a mode when you do higher levels of it

[inland mantle]

Yep FS said they would fix these things. Still havent fixed like 50% of them

[eternal terrace]

And they where good af.

[round mica]

i dont understand why a bunch of interesting weapons and marks are objectively worse to use

[nimble glade]

Infantry las gun rifle with combat blade

Based load out

[eternal terrace]

I so desperately want thd infantry las gun to not be carpal tunnel inducing

[nimble glade]

For veterans

[fiery wave]

Skill matters more than loadout in most cases. But you usually won't gamble on randoms.

[marsh iris]

standard guardsman gameplay

[lofty wing]

Balance is hard. There's a lot of interactions

[jovial pine]

there's a mod for that :3

[tawny hearth]

lol i always take it as a compliment after we lose when i walk off a cliff, it meant i was the carry (cliffs are my biggest killer... i will accidently step off anything without a railing)

[lofty wing]

And FS is inconsistent

[eternal terrace]

Man was +2000 levels

[nimble glade]

I just use whatever I like lore wise

[tame hemlock]

full auto mod but it messes up some weapons like the helbore lasgun and makes it double fire on charged shots (which is really annoying) so you want to turn it off when you don't use the infantry lasgun

[nimble glade]

I got some fun roleplay load outs.

For immersion purposes

[fiery wave]

That's where they are either gods or they abused an old exploit hard.

[round mica]

but at a certain point its kind of absurd. the dueling sword has been unusually powerful since release and the devil claw sword has been absolutely terrible since it was added for example

[thorny cave]

Glad they dusting up some of the other weapons

[nimble glade]

Lag cooks me

[round mica]

(pls buff devil claw)

[eternal terrace]

Ive played them all, Now Im a simple man who just likes to slap everything as an ogryn

[tawny hearth]

because its more of a skill game than a numbers game... theres a huge amount of the player base that could beat any difficulty armed only with a wet sock and a bad temper... so as long as a weapon is "close enough" then it comes down to player preference and playstyle

[round mica]

this is what being at peace means for a darktide player

[zenith glade]

Byeah

[eternal terrace]

Yeah i finally got funny blue helmet. I went outside

[nimble glade]

Rubber banding all over the place, probably how I got so good. When the lag disappears, it's like the extra weights just came off. Lol

[eternal terrace]

Actaully i still need the steelhead set

[lofty wing]

True. Just one of the quirks of playing a FS title lol

[zenith glade]

Game rlly is defined by player skill and the way it interacts w a dogshit or pawesome wpn

Meow top scored in an h40 w the evis 3 w over a million and a quarter damage above a plasma ds vet

[tawny hearth]

i'm just dumb, I can bonk anything down except gravity

[zenith glade]

Probably one of the worst weapons in the game

Player skill rlly defines the game

[tame hemlock]

havoc can vary very wildly and some h40s are wayyy easier or wayyy harder than other h40s

[zenith glade]

I think it was one with 4 modifiers

[nimble glade]

Based Ogryn

[tame hemlock]

same goes for every other havoc level from the point where it gets difficult of course

[zenith glade]

And it was back in the goop days

With buffed gunners

[jovial pine]

byeah what??

[zenith glade]

B4 they tweaked gunners/shooters and nuked the consistency of the goop modifier

[jovial pine]

oh

[tawny hearth]

from slayer to ogryn, i'm a very simple man

[tame hemlock]

maps also play a role in difficulty, some being jarringly easier and some being bullshit unfair

[zenith glade]

1.25mil dmg is kind of insane

Especially on evis

[fiery wave]

I mean... Just get gud at 400 ping and questionable packet loss.

[tawny hearth]

some maps are an actual nightmare tbh

[zenith glade]

Enclavum baross

Beginning of Gloriana

The noob filter

[jovial pine]

the perfect map for assassinating political enemies

[nimble glade]

Exactly what I do. No lag = easy mode. Lol

I have now mastered the art of combat predictions of time and space itself!

[inland mantle]

Always gotta pop them barrels on Gloriana otherwise someones going flying off the map at the worst time

[tawny hearth]

honestly when i see someone with a weird or waaaay off meta build i assume they're a high skill player just doing their thing at this point

[fiery wave]

See the future, predict it... Well, what else. lul. Then 5 ping LUL.

[tawny hearth]

i got really good at league of legends by playing on a pc that could only run it at 13 fps and them moving to a stable 30fps later

[fiery wave]

To be fair, it's also probs because I used to play other games at ping so bad, you question how... Like IB Bardin at 800-1000 ping.

And since I was forced to carry grims, can't die.

[tawny hearth]

man i honestly started playing cata just so i could ignore books

i like the books better in darktide because they aren't some weird ritual your team has to stop and do a couple times every mission

also i've never picked up a book in darktide, but i see people carrying them all the time

[fiery wave]

Can actually just ignore. Penance only... Or go sedation and grind.

[tawny hearth]

yeah, if someone picks one up in auric i just let it be and assume they need it for weekly

[round mica]

i agree but most people dont play the game enough to get to this point, the majority of people will just end up using meta weapons because they dont want to spend a limited amount of time losing in an attempt to get good enough to use off meta

most people have j*bs

[nimble glade]

The laws of time are mine!

[tawny hearth]

yeah that is pretty true, it took me all of vt1 and then a year of vt2 to get "good"

[fiery wave]

It usually means someone dies, then another person picks up both and two people are now ded and no more grims.

[fiery wave]

But also, some people have a 'cap'. Bad reflexes and such.

[tawny hearth]

the nice thing about tide games so far tho is that the skills transfer a good amount. So now that i've put in all that time so i was able to enter darktide already "good" and just got better

[thorny cave]

They definitely do

[fiery wave]

I mean, if you can solo legend, you can totally lvl 3 shovel On Overwatch first run.

[tawny hearth]

i think that cap is lower than alot of people think tho... like you can be very slow if you're cool with swinging at air sometimes because there are "safe practices" that you can just rotate and not be touched

my monitor shuts off randomly so sometimes i have to fight blind for 30 seconds

but yeah there still is a cap for that

[fiery wave]

I mean, most of those people won't touch the harder content for most part anyway to need to worry.

[tawny hearth]

yeah

[fiery wave]

And yes, I know cos my GF did it. I dragged her into Malice because she told me to.

You know ppl are bad when a lvl 3 outperforms.

[tawny hearth]

honestly io adore watching newer people struggle in auric even if it causes us to lose because i didn't clutch hard enough or messed up. I like seeing people trying to get over that hill

[tawny hearth]

lol yeah i start malice at level 1 when leveling a character then jump to damnation after getting a couple of low hanging nodes

[fiery wave]

You need someone though. Or you are forced to do like 2 uprising first.

[tawny hearth]

yeah i had someone to drag me along for most of my charcters, the rest i did uprising till i could

[fiery wave]

Ah.

[thorny cave]

I’m wondering what next weeks commodores are gonna be

[fiery wave]

Isn't it later this week?

[round mica]

can we lowkey just ban all new players. im tired of them

lore wise, if there was an ogryn on your team and you got into a scuffle with one, what are the chances you come out ontop and live?

[inland mantle]

0%

[jovial pine]

if you're a psyker it's not too unlikely

[round mica]

like what if you really pissed off an ogryn off during a mission

[round mica]

if ur a psyker 100% if you are anything else absolutely not

[jovial pine]

i dont even think an ogryn could survive one brainburst

[inland mantle]

No brain ez

[south jetty]

an ogryn would NOT survive brain burst

even though it is tiny

[round mica]

well it wouldn’t also depend how close the pysker is to the brute right?

[south jetty]

the meat is there, and all it takes is a little warp tickle

[marsh iris]

they got thicc skull

[round mica]

like if the oggie is right beside the psyker would he have enough reaction time before getting his skull caved in?

[round mica]

if it was a smityker they could literally just electrocute it in place until it died

[round mica]

It

[round mica]

it!

tough talk from a puny..

[round mica]

could an ogryn survive a bolter shot?

[inland mantle]

Depends where they get shot I guess

[round mica]

a couple depending on where it was shot

the head would still explode like a watermelon

[inland mantle]

Better hope you hit the head otherwise your getting folded like a lawn chair

[round mica]

idk man those ogryn skulls are almost as thick as ceramite

[jovial pine]

zealot should be able to fotf and stagger the ogryn and then one shot his brain

[inland mantle]

Vet VoC off the map

Ez win

[round mica]

honestly i’m shocked the oggies aren’t given used space marine armour, seeing their strength rivals that of one, it would make the ogryns much more lethal

[south jetty]

Head, neck, groin ( 😦 why) - probably get killed by one shot
Belly, chest, back - might survive 1, 2 is pushing it, more likely to exsanguinate
Arms, legs - could easily survive limb loss, but still gotta worry about blood loss

They're sturdy but still meaty

Bolter rounds go boom

[round mica]

if it was lore, the second they go into melee the ogryn is going to pick up the zealot and rip it in half like paper

[south jetty]

not holy enough 😔

be nice to them

be nice to ogryn

[round mica]

it’s honestly kinda sad how hated ogryns are lore wise, no sure what more you could want from a living creature, naturally strong, loyal to the end, just a bit a dumb

but for this reason they are easily corrupted since there are plague ogryns

[jovial pine]

space racism

[inland mantle]

[jovial pine]

that's basically space racism too

they're big friends

[simple drum]

Seriously we need to develop brain cybernetics for them

the BONE implants make the funny large man smell cooked meat aka his own brain

Tyranids indeed must all be purged

[simple drum]

Shits impossible

They reproduce by the milisecond

[scarlet cargo]

Not with that attitude

[simple drum]

💀

The only attitude i see

And biomass

[round mica]

isn’t it almost impossible to get rid of a tyranid invasion once it’s started? unless the entire planet is destroyed

[marsh iris]

GMO humans

[scarlet cargo]

Every victory for the tyranids is just another planet for them, but every loss a massive failure that puts their hive fleet at risk.

[scarlet cargo]

Nah thats orkz

[simple drum]

Even if you destroy the damn planet

[round mica]

because don’t the fuckers stealthily get into the planet and start destroying shit from the inside

[simple drum]

These mfs

They have fleet ships

And hives

[simple drum]

Thats one of their mutated versions

They have so many of these tyranid versions is actually sick

Some of them transform on the fly

[scarlet cargo]

They might leave some creatures behind after a loss but if you kill their fleet, they are not much more dangerous than the creatures that already inhabit many hives

[south jetty]

now let's make furries

[simple drum]

Those creatures i think are called infiltrators?

[south jetty]

😈

[simple drum]

Basically stay in the shadows of your planet collecting info about you until its resdy to turn everything into biomass sludge

[round mica]

but don’t tyranids exist in the billions? don’t these fuckers reproduce at a massive rate? or atleast are created very quickly?

[simple drum]

Its all in the biomass

[scarlet cargo]

Yes but they only have a certain amount of biomass. Kill them fast enough and they can't keep up.

[marsh iris]

harvest them for clothes

[simple drum]

This here though

[scarlet cargo]

Its what happened at Baal and numerous other planets

[simple drum]

Kill the fleet they basically retreat

[south jetty]

just like we harvested your ass for armor

[simple drum]

If you even make it that far

[round mica]

like genuinely from the shit i’ve read about them, it’s almost a planets death sentence if it gets invaded by those things, and pretty much gg

[marsh iris]

ass armor

[tawny hearth]

they kind of exist more as an amount of biomass... because after they "win" they tend to melt themselves back down into goo to rejoin the hivefleet

[simple drum]

Even if you repel the invasion your planet might still be trashed beyond repair anyways

[south jetty]

ass so flat and solid it's classified as flak armor

[simple drum]

Andddd i did not know this

I thought they just went to sit in some dark cave like some bats or something

[scarlet cargo]

If the defenses aren't set up, correct. But, there's also cases like hive fleet scarab (i believe thats the name) that was completely killed off by a regiment of Cadians.

[round mica]

huh.. interesting

[simple drum]

Thats disgusting

Ugly abominations

[scarlet cargo]

This is also true.

[simple drum]

Have you guys seen what biomass looks like

[round mica]

do tyranids exist as one? like if you kill the one big pooba do they all die? like a hive mind kinda trope?

[simple drum]

Looks like an italian ham sandwich went bad

[round mica]

[simple drum]

It looks like deer intestines

[marsh iris]

damn thanks

[scarlet cargo]

There is a hive mind. The creature that connect to it like tyrants spread it's influence to lesser tyranids. But, sever that link, and tyranids act like any other wild animal

[round mica]

seems like the tyranids are just a plague that will never stop existing

[scarlet cargo]

They dont just drop dead, but more become a non threat.

[scarlet cargo]

Not until they're all dead.

[tawny hearth]

they are a hive mind trope and a "galaxy devourer" trope because its implied they come from another galaxy, crossed the void after eating everything (maybe more than implied not sure)

[simple drum]

And the way that they travel through the system

Is so weird if anyone else did that they would die

[scarlet cargo]

Also the tyranids are such a big threat that they often convince factions that would never team up to fight alongside one another.

[simple drum]

They have too many mutations and evolutions they have to be the perfect creature

Rivaling mankind

Like chaos

[tawny hearth]

lol they also caused humanity to think it was a good idea to try to let the orks take care of them

[scarlet cargo]

On Baal there were traitor Astartes who joined the Blood Angels to stop the hive fleet.

[scarlet cargo]

It worked for some time at least.

It was either that or let them go to Terra.

[tawny hearth]

as long as feeding infinite biomass to a hungry biomass eating monster could

[round mica]

do they not travel through the warp?

[scarlet cargo]

No

They use gravity manipulation, its weird and slow

But it gets them around.

[simple drum]

Like a friggin earthworm

[round mica]

hell yeah

[simple drum]

They are weird

[round mica]

aren’t tyranid ships also like, living beings aswell?

[tawny hearth]

is it just tau and nids that basically don't interact with the warp? do necrons? i can't even remember

[marsh iris]

they come from a galaxy down under

[simple drum]

You would think for something like that they would figure out a way to move at lightspeed

A monster of that caliber i mean

[tawny hearth]

i thnk when you can survive the void between galaxies time is kind of a moot point

[round mica]

so if they move so fuckin slow, how the hell do these planets get blitzkrieged by them?

[simple drum]

I think thats probably why

When i ship goes through the warp can the other people in the other side sense it?

[odd night]

does the mortis thingy have a end or is it fighting till death?

[tawny hearth]

12 rounds

[round mica]

12 rounds

[jovial pine]

10 + 2 rounds

[odd night]

oh.. so my team sucked :<

[simple drum]

Cuz if they are moving too slow or they cant be sensed cuz they are organic

[jovial pine]

best way to die in mortis is via trappers

[odd night]

and i was the suckiest of them

[scarlet cargo]

Leviathan was the big event that started 10th edition and that fleet was stopped by a large imperial blockade commanded by the new Lord Solar.

[simple drum]

Then it could make sense how they get blindsided

[odd night]

there was just a flood of the big armored dudes.. :< i cant imagine 3 more waves like that

it was wave 9 i think were we all died

[simple drum]

This made me chuckle

[scarlet cargo]

The gravity manipulation causes a ton of earthquakes and they cause a phenomenon called "the shadow in the warp" that cuts off most communications

[simple drum]

Imagine chasing your teammate down the hallway then you turn around and its like 8 armored chainsaw weapons 4 berserkers and a crusher

[round mica]

i never understood the fear that tyranids put into the rest of the warhammer universe

but now i do

[simple drum]

The fear of being overwhelmed

[tawny hearth]

yeah like was said above they literally cut you off, on top of "prepping" your planet with what amounts to spies sent ahead that try to start genestealer cults

[simple drum]

Not just that

There are a few instances

[tawny hearth]

its why the imperium has just destroyed its own planets to try to deny resources

[simple drum]

Where tyranids have cut off supply routes to planets

Either their shenanigans

[marsh iris]

the fear of becoming a second breakfast

[simple drum]

Theres so much crap that goes wrong when a tyranid fleet hits your system

Starvation goes through the roof

[tawny hearth]

orks you can't get rid of, nids you'll only be given one chance so you better be ready

[round mica]

what the fuck is the motive of these glorified bugs? do they have a purpose? or do they just exist to eat, kill, recreate?

[simple drum]

Government also covers up and lies till the very last minute

They wont tell you until the invasion is literally killing people

[tawny hearth]

if they are a planet still cut off from everything i would imagine its even worse tbh

[marsh iris]

aggressive consumerism

[scarlet cargo]

The big issue that slows the tyranids is that because they melt down their entire armies and all biomass on a planet to move to the next, any loss on a planet or two is a near death sentence for that tendril of the hive fleet.

[simple drum]

By then its time to arm up

[simple drum]

Sheesh you mess that up and its night night

[marsh iris]

consume to survive, thats just it

[jovial pine]

why dont they just have anti-genestealer drones that float around and test everyone via forced blood testing

seems like a warhammer thing that could happen

[tawny hearth]

no recreation, they are one... they make the tools they need for the job when they need them out of raw biomass.... the only thing it (or maybe they) wants is to eat

[simple drum]

Whatever their omega god level being is

[tawny hearth]

add more biomass to the pile

[simple drum]

That things only motive is to devour

[scarlet cargo]

Have fun making that many servo skulls

[brave hull]

14/15 on perfect execution, miss the knife on a trapper by 1 hp and some brainlet psyker 5 feet away from me lets a poxie beat me to death while he just throws assail at a nothingburger ranged enemy 15quadrillion lightyears away

[simple drum]

I think even the chaos gods hate that thing

[jovial pine]

that's the problem i guess, they refuse to use AI lol

[tawny hearth]

what we see of the nids currently is probably all the biomass of another galaxy in one big clump

[marsh iris]

tyranids are not really evil, its just nature instinct

[scarlet cargo]

They have good reason not to use Abominable Intelligence

[brave hull]

death

[simple drum]

All we know is that tyranid is some escaped lab experiment gone horribly wrong

[tawny hearth]

nids are probably the only faction in 40k that already won a version of this at home and traveled for an away game

[round mica]

so with these gene stealers, they are undercover on planets to destroy shit from the inside before an invasion.. how do they get onto the planet without being detected?

[simple drum]

That probably wiped out its own galaxy

[jovial pine]

arent tyranids from another galaxy

oh

[scarlet cargo]

They are from outside the galaxy lol no one knows what they really are

[jovial pine]

do the tyranids have a warp god?

[simple drum]

Not probably more than 100%

[scarlet cargo]

No

[jovial pine]

why not

[tawny hearth]

they dont' even interact with it... the warp shuts off when they show up

[simple drum]

Well yea

[scarlet cargo]

They dont have any connection to the warp

[simple drum]

But in warhammer 40k universe

I got my own theory that someone was developing a hive mind weapons…

And it… developed a mind

Of its own

[round mica]

now i’m curious as to know where these things came from, but the mystery kinda adds to the fear they bring

[jovial pine]

the tyranid hive mind is kinda like that i guess

[south jetty]

bug mode

[simple drum]

And they made something they couldnt control or program and it cost them

[scarlet cargo]

The silent king is over 65 million years old and not even he knows

[tame hemlock]

the leaked changes for the plasma gun are genuinely way too much

[simple drum]

But truth is thats all speculation we dont know they wont tell us

[tame hemlock]

takes away too much of the fun of the gun such as the cleave and terrain penetration

[south jetty]

fuck plasma gun

time for lasgun lasfun

[tawny hearth]

they could very well be their galaxies version of the Krorks (that became the orks) and just like the orks ran wild at some point

[tame hemlock]

i feel like those are very unique things you don't really see in any other weapon and it'd suck to not have them in the game anymore in a noticeable form

[round mica]

this is why i like helldivers a lot too, maybe even a little bit more because you kinda feel helpless as you’re just a human fighting these otherworldly beings

that’s why i love fighting these the space squids

[tawny hearth]

maybe you feel helpless, i got a laser cannon and an exploding crossbow

[jovial pine]

"(Other Technomagi of the Adeptus Mechanicus) think that (the Tyranid hive mind) is in fact an incredibly powerful psychic monster using the Tyranids as puppets, while others think that it might be one of the Old Ones."

[simple drum]

They probably wont ever tell us

The evidence and anyone or anything that could of told us

Is probably dead and erased

[round mica]

thing is tho, dying the game is a cannon event, which kinda flies over peoples heads, everytime you die you don’t actually respawn

a new diver just takes your place

[tawny hearth]

yeah i keep the voices set to random for that reason, and you are right it does capture "struggle" really really well

[round mica]

someone did the math, and there have been a total of 8 billion total casualties, 228 million being divers, which averages out to like 33 kills per diver

[tawny hearth]

honestly the giant roleplay of it all is part of the reason i still play that game

[round mica]

real as fuck man

that and also the gunplay and artillery loop is addictive

[tawny hearth]

yeah its also just fun lol

[simple drum]

That monstrosity couldnt control them without being psychic now that i think about it

And there are pysker version tyranids

Psychically weak but on the mental side

Demonic

[round mica]

it’s truly a live service game, because you’re actually contributing to the story with other people

many games don’t do that anymore

[jovial pine]

it actually makes sense if the tyranids are a non-warp god creature

[simple drum]

That thing is just the achille’s heel

[jovial pine]

like the old ones that apparently exist (not the eldar ones??)

[tawny hearth]

lol the whole "get mines or save the children" moment was the funniest thing in the world

i chose the kids

[round mica]

[simple drum]

Wherever the actual omega is that thing i would consider it a god

Maybe thats why its just endlessly consuming

What if its trying to become a god

[jovial pine]

if it's one of "The Old Ones" from the age of sigmar...

then who even knows

[simple drum]

People say the emperor is doing the same thing

[round mica]

speaking of kids, i love how during the super earth invasion the planetary cannons are casually just hidden under playgrounds that open up from the ground

[simple drum]

Using mankind to feed himself intk godhood

[round mica]

truly a democratic moment

[tawny hearth]

yeah i noticed that

[round mica]

alright kids! time for the real playtime!
we are gonna shoot a big gun at that squid ship

[tawny hearth]

"but let the helldiver climb on to the barrel before you press the button, he wants to go for a ride!"

[round mica]

DUDE I DID THIS TODAY

LEMME SHOW YOU

[tawny hearth]

lol i got to launch someone while defending super earth

its what i like to pretend the fancy cape is REALLY for

[round mica]

the new cape is really nice

my friend is super heated because he wasn’t able to play during that major order

[round mica]

do you have the best cape in the game? (the malevelon creek veteran cape)

[tawny hearth]

no started shortly after that lol

[pure island]

The trees. I sometimes hear them. Speaking abominable intelligence.

I was there for both Creek battles

[round mica]

thank you joining us regardless helldiver

[tawny hearth]

and the new cape is nice, its very shiny lol

[round mica]

the first battle of the creek.. the reinforcements never came..

[pure island]

tbh I never fight bugs. They kinda just suck in my opinion.
Pure Bot diver main, though Luminid are close behind

[round mica]

i believe tyrranids are kind of from everywhere, the outer galaxy aside from the main stuff no longer exists because the nids ate all of it

i do whatever the MO is

[tawny hearth]

bugs are my least fav to fight as well... fav is bots but i mostly fight the MO

[round mica]

gotta support the cause

[tawny hearth]

lol or something else did and they're fleeing that thing

[round mica]

dude i remember when the game first dropped barely anyone did the major orders

then once ppl realized the game will punish us for not defending planets most people say oh fuck bet

the creek was painful tho bc the bug divers refused to help

[scarlet cargo]

Just like they refused to help super earth

[round mica]

“ cyborg scary “ WE DO MOT CARE THE CREEK NEEDS BODIES

[round mica]

traitors, all of them

[odd night]

what blessings would you guys take for evi XI? rampage and savage sweep? for the smol guy killing? or momentum and rampage?

[hidden trout]

rampage shred

shred for crit synergies, and because no other blessing is worth it

[odd night]

hrm. ok

man i need a billion more of the cylindrical resource stuff x_X can i exchange cubes into those? i have so many of those cubes

[round mica]

unfortunately not

but the more you play you’ll go from “ i don’t have enough of this “ to “ im fuggin rich with nothing to spend this on “

Fatshark needs to add slot machines to the moutningstar

[marsh iris]

tuubes n cubes baby

[odd night]

well i havnet played in years and change a lot of builds right now and such :< is expensive

[round mica]

slot machines, child support, and ABC liquor stores would be awesome

[blazing hawk]

Helldivers are still whining about the Leviathan fucking them up

[jovial pine]

they definitely gotta improve the MS. even if all we got was a jump puzzle and some exploration

[blazing hawk]

Despite telegraphed attacks (which they wanted)

[restive edge]

RIP dueling sword

[stark bobcat]

Finally

[round mica]

helldivers 2 is the only game where i can confidently say both the devs and playerbase are special needs

[blazing hawk]

Redditdivers when they can't solo d15 bots while blindfolded, stage 4 bone cancer, no limbs, ears plugged in, mouth gagged, and butt ass naked

[thick fog]

Fym that the game is not build to be on solo but a full player squad, I got social anxiety

[restive edge]

Solo divers is fine

Skill issue

[arctic shoal]

How ars reviews looking

Did the DS cult hit them yet?

[thick fog]

You might wanna find on the forbidden Reddit page we chilling here

[molten matrix]

People already seething about dueling sword being nerfed

[arctic shoal]

Nope reviews haven't only gone up

But we do have a few already at it

[blazing hawk]

Holy fuck

[lethal solstice]

Hey yam why did you refund firebreak, I’m trying to decide if I should get it now or wait like a year for them to Fatshark the game and unfuck it a bit

[molten matrix]

Barely any content

And people said it felt worse than the playtest

[lethal solstice]

Didn’t you playtest it

[molten matrix]

🤫

[lethal solstice]

Whatever

Time to wait until the fix it

What is it with Swedish studios and this exact song and dance

[molten matrix]

You can get clair obscur

[lethal solstice]

I could

And probably should

However, that would take the same slot as death stranding and I also want to play that

[eternal fox]

DEATH STRANDING MENTIONED

[lofty wing]

Just played a match with a 5 wound psyker

It went about how it sounds lol

[arctic shoal]

Was it atleast the funny explosion?

[lofty wing]

He didnt even pop he just didn't dodge melees

Bofuri: I Cannot Block And Dodge So I Maxed Out My Wounds

[elder merlin]

Walking forever

[marsh iris]

keep on keeping on

[eternal fox]

You walk in every game you have movement in, it came with your free trial of having legs, it's what happens in the middle of walking that matters. Which can be a LOT especially when you're in BT infested areas

[marsh iris]

piss bombs my beloved

[thick fog]

Now in the sequel you can shoot AI robots freely, deliver at night time and listen to your MP3 player

[eternal fox]

[lethal solstice]

The walking is fun though

[thick fog]

Walking and driving

[eternal fox]

I loved taking on deliveries and planning my routes and preparing for the trip and realizing I was not prepared for the trip and needing to improvise

[thick fog]

Embrace your Ryan Gosling mindset

Kojima writing too good everyone who played loved it and he had to rewrite it

[marsh iris]

stacking floating carriers, and maxed your back with luggage, route planning deliveries, quite relaxing

[thick fog]

Truly an experience of all time

Will never miss my first playthrough until the end

[marsh iris]

also building stuff on your way to the delivery points and have people actually using it and giving likes, feels like you contributed something good

[eternal fox]

That ending was a monumental gut punch

Well most of the story was, but especially that ending

[thick fog]

We have connected each other but should have we really connected 11 months later?

[marsh iris]

i connect other people ziplines and make a transit system

through the mountains over the BT zones

[thick fog]

Let's make a toast to the damned

[eternal fox]

🍻

[marsh iris]

[elder merlin]

Maybe one day

But today is not that day

[eternal fox]

The first few hours I played and decided to stop for the day, I hadn't come back for a few months. I decided to pick it back up on a whim after those few months away, and I didn't put it down for the entire week until it was finished.

[round mica]

death stranding was a good game and im tired of pretending like its not

[eternal fox]

[stuck wasp]

Is Death Stranding considered bad ?

[eternal fox]

It was, at first

[marsh iris]

nah

[eternal fox]

People didn't get it until they played it

[round mica]

absolutely was when it first came out

[stuck wasp]

Like it's particular, and niche, but never heard anything really bad about it

[marsh iris]

i thought it would be meh until i picked it up

i cant stop sending these boxes

[lethal solstice]

I got it free so I’m winning

[thick fog]

Never was but is not a game for everyone

[eternal fox]

It was never "bad" just public perception was bad because people saw walking and thought "walking sim bad" but it was a Kojima game so you know it's a lot more than just walking sim

[round mica]

it was a hellstorm on youtube when it first came out

[lethal solstice]

It’s also a good walking sim

[jovial pine]

death stranding is a niche type of game but outside of that it's S tier

[thick fog]

Average gamers when a new game does not include guns and football

[lethal solstice]

Walking is fun is a statement I didn’t think I’d make

[round mica]

is the 2nd one out yet?

[spare lynx]

I've probably played an additional 100 hours since arbites was announced. And yet I've only progressed Dream Team by 5

[eternal fox]

Almost

[thick fog]

26th

[eternal fox]

I'm so ready

[spare lynx]

This achievement blows

[jovial pine]

wont be out on pc any time soon

[thick fog]

3 days after Arbites release

[eternal fox]

Yeah...

next ill be walking in a castigator stance

[eternal fox]

But I have a ps5 already at least

[spare lynx]

53/100 in 200+ hours

Expect 1-2 years to be released for PC with a directors cut version with more content and stuff

[round mica]

dude what do you MEAN they release nba 2k every year with no new content? you just dont get it

[thick fog]

Copy paste same game but with slight better lighting and less pixels?

80$ sold!!

[limber light]

arbites only five days away!

[marsh iris]

[round mica]

dude you clearly dont get it

ima go watch kai cenat and hit my vape now

[thick fog]

We must consume

[eternal fox]

The only sports game I ever loved was NFL Street 2 and that game is like 20 mfing years old now. Still better than any of that shovelware EA puts out every year

[limber light]

I'm probably either gonna make an Authoritarian or a Maul 🗣️🗣️

[round mica]

sports games were awesome when they first came out but now its a hellscape of micro transactions and literally the SAME THING every year

[lofty wing]

And they keep doing it because the people keep paying for it because reasons

[eternal fox]

Yeah a lot of sports games back then had to really innovate to remain relevant, now it's literally just one company shitting out the same game but with more and more MTX every year

[lofty wing]

If I had a money printing machine I'd probably keep pressing the print button too

[arctic shoal]

Wii sports was peak

[thick fog]

Clearly you all never played peak Mario Strikers Charged

[arctic shoal]

Sports fans are simply made different

[thick fog]

[arctic shoal]

It was so fun for the wii

[round mica]

only time i can confidently say "hate the game and the player"

[eternal fox]

made a very certain type of way, that's for sure

[modern bobcat]

Sports games have all been down hill since Summer Games on my Commodore 64

[round mica]

the wii was the peak of human society and we will never return to a time like it

[arctic shoal]

Pyre was great (unbiased)

[limber light]

sport games stopped being good after i stopped playing them (played Wii Sports at a friends house once)

[round mica]

unironically true

you experienced that absolute peak of sports games and nothing else

[limber light]

I can't wait to make an arbites so that i can commission art of them!

[round mica]

oh yeah they also added jake from state farm to nba 2k 22

[lofty wing]

Arbites class chat channel when

[limber light]

I hope they'll give us an extra character slot since i don't wanna give up one of my vets

3 level 30 vets 🙏

[lofty wing]

That was confirmed, we get more slots

[round mica]

why tf do you have three of them

[limber light]

ah sweet

[limber light]

so that i can have all three voices 🗣️

[round mica]

what is your fav vet build?

i have a build i love for all classes besides vet

[lofty wing]

Here I am with 2 ogryn from back when I was farming melk bucks, and I want to delete him

But I can't bring myself to airlock the extra even tho he's eating all muh rashuns

[modern bobcat]

They are supposedly going to add an additional Operative slot with Arbites release

[spice crane]

You’ve been able to have like 6 slots with a mod

Lightest mod ever too changes like one line of text

[round mica]

what would happen if you disabled mods with that installed?

[spice crane]

They stay there

[round mica]

oh cool

[limber light]

what weapons do you prefer?

[limber light]

with las pistol or bolter pistol

[round mica]

oh cool

[limber light]

i absolutely hate the plasma rifle

Now you can hate it even more

[round mica]

breaking your own fingers is more fun then using the plasma rifle

[lofty wing]

Eh?

[void ice]

sup brethren

[elder merlin]

Its considered a walking simulator

[spice crane]

They are taking the pen off light shots completely and not adjusting charged shot ammo cosy

Life is good but serving the emperor is better.

[spice crane]

So it’s basically useless in havocs

[elder merlin]

DIE WELL BROTHERS

[elder merlin]

Plasma users suffer now

[modern bobcat]

Plasma users are on parr with Loner players in the food chain

[lofty wing]

The plasma gun is overtuned but I feel like that is the wrong approach to bring it into balance lol

[lethal solstice]

Wrong

[limber light]

i also adore the double barreled shotgun

[lethal solstice]

Plasma players are useful

[round mica]

i have no evidence to support my claim but i stg plasma users have never heard of positioning. all they do is walk forward and shoot

[modern bobcat]

Veteran only has one gun: the bolter

[limber light]

one of my vets has it built towards hordeclearing

[spice crane]

I actually just don’t care anymore what they do with balancing

[lethal solstice]

Dbarrel

[spice crane]

Someone is severely inbred that’s giving them feedback or they don’t listen to good feedback

[round mica]

is the double actually good?

[lethal solstice]

Yes

[round mica]

how

[lethal solstice]

Whats “good feedback”

[round mica]

its seems god awful at multi tasking

[lethal solstice]

Extremely good synergy with weapon specialist

And confirm crits in general

[lethal solstice]

Specifically I mean

[halcyon glen]

E

[limber light]

I've built my shotgun vet in a way that lets me clear hordes in only a few shots pretty much

[spice crane]

So instead of nerfing uncanny strike to tune down the DS they could just make it a completely single target focused weapon. fits the bill for the weapon itself. Maybe adjust the H1 damage a bit.

Not my suggestion someone suggested it like a month ago I thought that was good feedback.

Or just give it to psykers as a unique weapon

[lethal solstice]

They should nuke uncanny anyway

Death to rending over 10%

[misty trench]

(it was overpowered on psyker too)

[spice crane]

Just delete rending then

[lethal solstice]

Also that yeah

[spice crane]

DS is the least OP thing on psyker

[misty trench]

uhhh

n

o

[lethal solstice]

Are you sure

[round mica]

pretty sure

threw a trashbag into space today

[spice crane]

Yea blaze away flame staff takes that spot by 15 miles

[spare lynx]

Are you sure?

[lethal solstice]

Least != not the most

[spice crane]

Also DS is almost the only option outside of BFG top heavies to deal with crushers as far as melee weapons.

[lethal solstice]

It’s still egregiously strong

[lethal solstice]

This is just a false statement

[misty trench]

we're talking about melee, Rumbler is hella busted on ogryn but that doesn't mean shit like confident strike isn't also problematic

[lethal solstice]

Have you tried like

Any of the melee weapons

Perhaps obscurus

Because it has the best armor damage in the game

[spice crane]

Don’t know what that is

[misty trench]

thing is DS4 is capable of one hitting auric damnation crushers whilst being hyper mobile and that's not balanced on any class

[lethal solstice]

Obscurus force sword

[spice crane]

I only know shapes

[lethal solstice]

Deimos also does really good armor damage

[misty trench]

deimos is hella strong

[lethal solstice]

The “sit the fuck down” stick

Why does it have that much stagger

[misty trench]

beloved

and force greatsword is incredible ofc

[elder merlin]

I used to use the revolver for a long time, was real good with it. That all changed when i finally started using the bolter, i can never go back.

[lethal solstice]

FGS being the high end of mid without its special

[eternal fox]

I love pretending I'm a Dark Knight with the FGS on psyker

[elder merlin]

The hell is Deimos

[lethal solstice]

But it’s special is just fucking insane

Waiter waiter more 60 kill scatters from 2 inputs please

[maiden jacinth]

What do you mean, it's perfectly fine on ogryn sah!

[misty trench]

the cool force sword

[spare lynx]

I love marksman+autogun with plenty of ammo

feels like a proper fps lol

[maiden jacinth]

Revolver to me is more of a cool factor. It feels meaty

I don't know if it's numbers are a little much but it feels like one of the few weapons that's just fine where it is

[stuck wasp]

I need Dual Revolvers

[spare lynx]

love fanning the hammer

or quickdrawing into a quick specialist headshot

[maiden jacinth]

If anything needs a little help I think it's bolt pistol needing atleast some cleave. Even if it's only a tiny amount. Enough that 1 pox won't just interrupt your shot

And I do agree, I used to use the slow revolver but with the cowboy speedloader I cant really use the other again

[delicate vapor]

I forgot it fuck

Had it in my mind 10 seconds ago till I heard my cat fart

at 12:00 AM on June 19th a video drops: havoc 40 solo arbites (dog only)

i'd have hoped fatshark would have revealed it before other's do. i look forward to those videos complementing what we then already know

is there any reason to use the bolt pistol over normal bolter

much faster switch

[lethal solstice]

Draws faster
Reloads faster
Aims better

[loud crag]

when you absolutely must shoot that one guy in the head without delay

[lethal solstice]

More accurate hipfire

It’s a sidearm as opposed to a giant gun

[raven furnace]

(and different blessings)

[round mica]

the bolt rifle feels like the bolt pistol just with a built in "kill everything" mode

Just occurred to me. Can your dogs save you from a disabler lock for death?

[lethal solstice]

Hounds and mutants

[maiden jacinth]

Or would it just be classic trapper and down for wipe

[raven furnace]

it's been said to free you from pox hounds and mutants

[maiden jacinth]

I hope they prioritise other doggies. As I don't mind the muties much

They're surprisingly useful

[marsh iris]

until theres 20 muties who starts playing basketball

[raven furnace]

im gonna guess when the dog operates on its own, it will prioritize you instantly if you get hit by a hound or mutant. but if you have double-tagged an enemy it might continue prioritizing that enemy. just guessing here

[tacit geode]

Something like that probably

[maiden jacinth]

Only time muties are dangerous is if there's busters or flamers

As weirdly they're the only disabler that makes enemies just ignore you? Like spawn

[raven furnace]

haha. sometimes muties can be such bros and save you from being cornered

bet the dog will counter that sometimes 🥹

[maiden jacinth]

Exactly my fear

[raven furnace]

"YES mutant save"
"dog: nope"

[maiden jacinth]

Maybe the nasty netter lady will remind the dog of peta

And it can get vengeance

[marsh iris]

dog: let my master learn

[maiden jacinth]

Imagine if dog could do an independent revive once every 5 minutes or something.

[pure island]

I must torment my friends with more Darktide memes. This is the way.

when you die, does the dog fall over and die too? 😝

[raven furnace]

still got that "new" tag tho! 💚

[maiden jacinth]

Getting called out by the board gamer

Pristine lurker

Mars is very good

[austere prism]

Ya know what I think would be cool as shit? A 40k mech combat game like Armored Core or Titanfall

[stuck wasp]

Would have to be Tau

[austere prism]

Wraiths and Knights and Battlesuits and whatever things similar

[marsh iris]

gargant

[austere prism]

Maybe even have a 4 way faction free for all gamemode

[blazing hawk]

Can't get titanfall

[marsh iris]

eternal crusade come back as giant robots

[austere prism]

Knights and gargants would have the most health but low mobility, Battlesuits and Wraith constructs would be hyper mobile

Also i think it would be cool to have something like the Leviathan system from Battlefield 1, the losing team gets to call in a massive vehicle to try and even the odds, like a Titan or a Tau'nar Supremacy suit

[sage dragon]

whos looking forward to that weapon rework they showed us?

will be good to have shotguns that are fun again

makes me wonder though what the special for the new arbites shotgun will be though

although everyone else will inevitably want their own prefered weapon first

[amber delta]

I want fist

[sage dragon]

I think Melta tops the list at the moment for most wanted

[tacit geode]

I want a vet power fist

[amber delta]

no

unpowered fist

just fist

[molten matrix]

same

[sage dragon]

maybe give fist to arbiter?

[molten matrix]

arbites can only be fielded with shock fists

powerfists are primaris astra militarum

[odd night]

am i too low level or is there still no marks for bolters, flamers and plasmas? i thought those were in the files two years ago <_< with graphics and all

[sage dragon]

works for me!

[stuck wasp]

Flamer is Zealot exclusive, and Plasma is Vet exclusive.
Bolter is shared between the 2

[odd night]

yes but i mean additional marks.. variants.. light ones.. heavy ones?

[amber delta]

what if the DS rework is just removing it from all current classes and giving it to ogryn as toothpick

[amber cave]

🤔

[sage dragon]

Fatshark doesn't have additional marks for all weapons, probably because they feel it would be redundant

[amber cave]

No new rotation in the Slopshop yet?

ah thats tomorrow right

[molten matrix]

im asuming a shop delay for arbites

[odd night]

:/ i'd love to have more marks for all weapons <_< especially the ones i mentioned

[stuck wasp]

No, and there aren't exactly other marks in gamefiles, just cosmetics/shape of them, no programming or anything

[molten matrix]

or tomorrow a rotation and next week thursday

id like to have a bolter mark thats braced

[amber cave]

They don't have to mess with the rotation since Arbites will just upload with his own new page/s

[maiden jacinth]

We need more paul

[sage dragon]

?

[molten matrix]

yeah your right

[stuck wasp]

Paul rework pls

[sage dragon]

what is paul?

[maiden jacinth]

An alien

Voiced by seth the insufferable stoner

[amber delta]

hey hey people

[stuck wasp]

Power Maul (Ogryn)

[maiden jacinth]

As such this malign object full of his malice is used to terrifying force

[sage dragon]

ah got it

[amber cave]

Sseth here.

[maiden jacinth]

No no, not that sseth

He's great

Who else would I have to thank for obscure games I've never heard about

[amber delta]

my favourite obscure game he covered

starfield

[amber cave]

There is no such game

there is only Shartfield

[amber cave]

and yet, somehow, against all rhyme or reason, there are still millions of goobers out there dreaming about Eldescrolls6 being 'good game'.

[maiden jacinth]

We wish it was obscure

[amber cave]

Defies understanding.

[maiden jacinth]

They had to remake oblivion for something that wasn't skyrim v25 (we ran out of community mods to claim)

[sage dragon]

a lot of things do

[maiden jacinth]

Wanting 50 for a remaster of an old game is ludicrous

[amber cave]

Compared to PayStation it's a steal and a deal.

[sage dragon]

so my best guess is that when we get another new mission, they will be sending us back to the inter-zone void, but after that, where do you think we could go take a tour of?

[amber cave]

Remake of Days Gone for full price. shitty game that isn't even old.

[sage dragon]

I want to actually see the witherlands

[maiden jacinth]

Its a good game but im not happy about price, but that's more of a modern dilemma for everything

[stuck wasp]

Atrox

[maiden jacinth]

The biggest thing I saw was they reworked the levelling balance. So you don't have to minmax by design to actually have a playable character

[sage dragon]

and that is?

[sage dragon]

that another world?

[stuck wasp]

Atoma's biggest Moon

[maiden jacinth]

Cult of admonition: "tonight, we steal- the moon!"

[sage dragon]

AH, interesting. could visit secret listening station and/or observatory there

[maiden jacinth]

No arrowhead here

[amber delta]

everyone know moons are made of cheese, mouldy cheese is nurgle's fav

[maiden jacinth]

This be fartshart territory

Not even wensleydale?

[sage dragon]

lol I see someone has watched the classics

I'm suprised though that no one here has asked to visit a corpse starch farm yet

at least this time round

[amber delta]

we go to corpse starch farms all the time

they call it the torrent

[sage dragon]

thats for water, starch is food

[amber delta]

food is from torrent's inhabitants

Got a feeling we will probably get a Heavy Stubber for the Arbites too

Maybe also the two shield variants

be interesting if we get the smaller shield variant as a more mobile/offensive shield for rapid pushing

and the taller shield variant as the more defensive one similar to Ogryn slab shield

[stuck wasp]

So from FS, we know there is an Observatory/Vault, from Cubicle 7, we know that there is an Imperial Navy depot too

And the moon is known for its axes, and might be due to it being forested

[stuck wasp]

The 2nd Shield is an Ogryn Brute shield

[round mica]

did someone say ogryn

[modern bobcat]

If they're using it for concept art for humans then that means it is no longer just for Ogryns?

Either that or it's possible we'll get Mk variants

to represent a Lockshield and a Suppression shield

[tacit geode]

I mean owlcat just interpreted it that way doesn't mean the same applies to darktide

[modern bobcat]

Ok. There has been no signficant overlap between the two, up-to-and-including a joint bundle between the two studios designed to cross-promote an Arbites DLC being launched at the same time.

[stuck wasp]

Dunno, it's strange, might just be a placeholder

Lockshield I doubt would happen here, much less in the hands of the player

[modern bobcat]

Well from a gameplay point of view a small shield for high mobility/aggressive pushing vs a variant large shield for lockdown area defense makes sense

whether they do that or not is another story

but as DT is an fps, that would bring in useful tradeoffs between a shield which limits your FOV and allows more ease of movement vs a shield which limits FOV but protects more of your body

The primary shield for both DT and RT is this one though: https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images//43222021/e33a14703f1210f6ca0f03207ca0cf8e7d78fcce.jpg

The deluxe DT Arbites helmet is also available as a helmet in RT by the looks of it

[stuck wasp]

Both are based on the miniatures (and else, arts)

So yes they have similar things but i'm quite surprised if they do Ogryn's shield on a human instead

[modern bobcat]

I think that second screenshot also reveals the Arbites companion portrait

next to Cyber Mastiff portrait along the top

I haven't seen that revealed elsewhere as yet

Cyber Mastiff looking at the psykers like he's hungry

[jovial pine]

what the embed

[modern bobcat]

The RT devblog under that concept art says that they will have multiple shield variants/sizes equippable, so yes the Brute shield style seems like it will appear

[stuck wasp]

RT screenshots

[modern bobcat]

If Arbites gets a heavy stubber with the same accuracy as the Ogryn one for DT

Veteran is going to be suffering

[halcyon glen]

R

[trim sleet]

are pb's just refusing to prime/ burst now?

[modern bobcat]

They're edging before they burst

[glossy bear]

Another day of waiting for arbites

[silent timber]

will there be a new map along with the arbite release?

not included but seperate i mean as all maps are free

[stuck wasp]

Not mentioned, so probably not, there is a new narrative thingy though, no idea on what it is either though

[silent timber]

ah kk

thats too bad but maybe the stuff they are cahnging will entertain

for abit

[molten matrix]

maybe map changes

[wooden creek]

We actually did get some map changes in the Manufactorum

More dropoffs have been added

The rrrrrrite of moebian steel nearing completion mayhaps...

[jovial pine]

apparently they have gradient role colors on discord now. at least, i see one server with it

it's their twitch sub role tho so maybe has to be a special role like that

[thick coyote]

Nope

It's going to be a vigilant
Without the breakpoints that vet has
