[stoic mirage]

we dont judge\

[round mica]

is the crusher any good? it seems to have quite the opposing reputation

some says it goated

others say bad

[stoic mirage]

cc is goated

[little marten]

Great for crowd control

[stoic mirage]

they just compare it to thunder hammer

[round mica]

i’ll give it a whirl

[hard pulsar]

does anyone have any idea why couldnt i name my character "Zhydoowka"? all other chars are named that but when i tried with arbi i kept getting errors

[little marten]

Back in the day I got my first auric clutch with the crusher, just stunning everything, but it was certainly slow to actually deal with the hordes compared to some of the higher dmg options

[surreal onyx]

Relic blade is now my favorite zealot weapon.

[round mica]

based

[surreal onyx]

So damned satisfying.

[maiden jacinth]

Definitely up there, but nothing compares to hearing the eviscerator for me

[round mica]

i like the psykers greatsword too

[maiden jacinth]

Then again I love chain weapons, despite being inefficient

[inland mantle]

Skullcrusher all I'll say

[round mica]

moonlight greatsword my beloved

[surreal onyx]

Eviscerator is also fantastic.

Bloodborne crossover when

[round mica]

too late, duskbloods aka BB2 is coming to switch 2

the only reason i’d ever get a switch 2

[surreal onyx]

I think they know that, too. Gotta pump up the switch 2 numbers somehow.

[full scarab]

i see a lot of people decline arbites invitations in havoc
why?

[little marten]

Duskbloods taking the release slot for another mainline FS game is rough tho, but excited for switch 2 players

[inland mantle]

Dont want people learning a new class at risk of them deranking

[modern bobcat]

No meta builds yet?

[inland mantle]

I accept them tho they put in work in h40

[surreal onyx]

I can’t imagine getting that far in havoc. Tried it a couple of times and that armor you unlock just isn’t worth it to me.

[full scarab]

you dont need to hit high levels to unlock armor tho

[inland mantle]

It's not bad tho to be fair I didnt partyfind to H40 I have a group I play with to do that

[surreal onyx]

When you unlock the armor, does it only unlock on your current character or all four?

[inland mantle]

Partyfinder players are well...

[full scarab]

all four

[inland mantle]

Something

[full scarab]

playing it 200 times would be fucking awful lmao

[lime beacon]

I don’t know if the name is a derivative of some kind of censored word/phrase but fatshark screens names pretty hard

[surreal onyx]

Hmmm. I may have to revisit that after I finish getting zealot up to snuff.

[hard pulsar]

my other 3 characters are named that... and its not a bad word lmao, its made up by me

[lime beacon]

And you can only use letters and the “-“ symbol

Those are the only rules I know

[hard pulsar]

its just letters ;v

[lime beacon]

Highly welcoming and rational minded gamers who definitely aren’t sitting there grinding their teeth after deranking 4 times in a row?

[inland mantle]

Yessss

[full scarab]

only 4?

[inland mantle]

Plus alot of them no offense run some awful yter builds not helping them would give advise about builds but they dont want to hear it cause im a H40 elitist 😔

[full scarab]

losing 12 times in a row was fun
thanks god im an overwatch player

[cold sedge]

so surgical on the boltgun, does this mean when i ads i get only increased crit chance for the next bullet? or is it a certain time

and can i hipfire after or does the buff go away when i let go of ads

[tacit geode]

Next bullet

[cold sedge]

hmmmm

ok not very good on boltgun then

what perks do you guys use on boltgun

[inland mantle]

Goes away if you unADS too

[cold sedge]

ok good to know, thanks

im thinking cavalcade puncture

[inland mantle]

I run Cavalcade and Punture

[cold sedge]

yeah that seems great

shattering doesnt seem bad either

[inland mantle]

Pinning fire use to be meta but it isnt anymore

[cold sedge]

like shattering cavalcade

[lime beacon]

People have a very unhealthy obsession with yt builds

[inland mantle]

Yea

[cold sedge]

that doesnt even seem good

that seems good for ad clear

[inland mantle]

use to be it got nerfed

[lime beacon]

And I see a lot of creators pushing out build videos which isn’t helping either

[cold sedge]

what did it do before then?

[cold sedge]

i think you are completely right, people dont want to experiment anymore they just blindly follow a yt build and swear by it

[inland mantle]

Use to give 10% power per stagger now it 5%

[cold sedge]

thats the beauty of this game there are so many options and endless possibilities, using different things together can lead to very fun and different results

[cold sedge]

hmmm ok that is a lot i must say

right on cavalcade puncture it is

[inland mantle]

There's some good in there just not much from big youtubers. Which I get just cause your big doesnt mean you really know the game just wish they would research what their talking about a bit more all I ask

Cause alot of new players fall into those builds thinking their meta

[south river]

Getting a flood of 2001, 2004, 2014, 3013, etc disconnects... This started up after the arbites update... I spend 30min trying to login to lobby from the operative screen. (most typical error is 2004). While in a game I have huge lag and disconnect frequently. I have trawled the forums, flushed DNS, restarted computer, deleted cache, reinstalled game fresh, run as admin, lowered graphics, turned off RTX, talked to my ISP, among other things. It is still broken af. I am still getting booted out of lobby, let alone a running game. I did not have this issue before Arbites. My Arbites is level 30 now, but its been awful. Does anyone have any ideas..? Do I simply wait for Fatshark to do another hotfix? Ping from mission select shows 35-55ms, but when in game it is often unplayable when enemies air walking.

[obtuse oak]

it did

[obtuse oak]

#🎒support-issues try submitting your experience with all of the crash dumps and console logs that you might have on the fatshark forums

it will be seen by fatshark support staff or a dev within 24h usually

they can help you troubleshoot or it can help them identify problems they can fix on their end

[south river]

I am not usually crashing, just getting disconnected with an error... Not sure how much I could give them.

[amber delta]

I've just realised that I cannot tell the difference between Arbites personalities

they are all so samey

[hollow hull]

Anyone else noticing the event missions aren't giving you the full xp reward?

I was supposed to get 30K and I got 7000 instead

[inland mantle]

Think that's weapon exp player exp is still the same as it was pre update

[modern bobcat]

They need to add a Loner personality to Arbites tbh, something unique and fun

[inland mantle]

They dont make it clear tho

[hollow hull]

bruh

[amber delta]

that one time I agree

[inland mantle]

Welcome to a FS game lmao

Atleast the combat goes hard

[modern bobcat]

The game has been so laggy since the update for me and I don't know why

I'm getting desync stuff, rubberbanding

[inland mantle]

Alot of players servers dying

[modern bobcat]

I don't know what to try

I just dropped an ammo crate in an elevator and had it clip through floor

so we didnt get to use it lol

[inland mantle]

Gotta love it

[modern bobcat]

and I get enemies randomly teleporting around or appearing out of nowhere

Because of frames and lag

[tacit geode]

I think the reward icons are backwards lol

[modern bobcat]

I'm not mad at FS but I can't tell if it's my issue and I need to verify game files

or if it's a server-side issue

[inland mantle]

You know what yea that's it makes alot of sense

I didnt even look at the dockets lmao

[cold sedge]

are monstrosities unyielding?

[inland mantle]

Yes

[cold sedge]

ty

[inland mantle]

So are reapers and bulwarks on the unarmored bits

Captains are flak

[cold sedge]

yes that i know

but they have a mix of carapace and flak right?

bulwarks for example

[inland mantle]

One sec ill pull up the chart

[cold sedge]

and maulers?

She got moved there this update

[onyx arch]

Sweet, I like seeing the NPCs

[tacit geode]

To talk with Proctor Exactant Zorin

Also Zorin will compliment you as you walk past if you're playing arbites

[round mica]

did the nerfs to DS and PG come aswell?

[tacit geode]

No

They're not yet

[inland mantle]

Still on the back burner for those

[night obsidian]

guys did farming masteries get nerfed or am I delusional?

[round mica]

how does one farm masteries

[night obsidian]

feels like i'm sacrificing a lot more weapons but i might be wrong

[tacit geode]

Are you using lower tier weapons

Like 60 power ones?

[night obsidian]

yeah, as far as I remember that's how you do it

[stable cradle]

you need to update the 4 class cover art to include 5 plus doge

thanks

[night obsidian]

like I wanna try a new build but I never used the weapon before

and I need lvl20 mastery

[round mica]

just play missions with the weapon bro

[tacit geode]

What level are you?

Because if you're buying weapons that are like 60 power instead of the around 300 power weapon are at 30 then you will get less exp

[night obsidian]

ohhhhhhh

i get it

i used to do it on the max level characters but now im doing it on a low level one

cuz I just unlocked hadron

[tacit geode]

Yeah don't do it now

I made the same error

[night obsidian]

didnt think about that thx

[south river]

Thanks, going to try. Considering I found a thread full of people with similar issues, with no way of fixing being mentioned... I think I am screwed.

PSA that there is an option to see other players' dogs names and some of these names are real garbage

Is it true that Lae'zel / Bae'zel (Devora Wilde) voice acted for the authoritarian Arebites?

[rustic escarp]

anyone else having issues logging in? i keep getting a Backend Error despite restarting the game

wondering if it's just me

[maiden jacinth]

Are weapon skins class specific? Or are they shared on all the people who can use them?

[tame hemlock]

servers have been messy lately

[tame hemlock]

shared

[rustic escarp]

the only time a weapon skin is class-specific is when it's for a weapon that's class-specific

[maiden jacinth]

Very pogryn

I may actually buy some aquillas as the store has some nice weapon skins, for once

[onyx arch]

Does FS every release stats for which voices players chose the most?

[maiden jacinth]

Whoever is funniest

[rustic escarp]

yeah i've restarted the game like three times and I continue to get the same "Backend Error: Error signing in" error message at the splash screen. There isn't some sort of maintenance? The game was working just fine a few hours ago.

[maiden jacinth]

Woe upon ye, curse of backend error plageth thou

Haven't played a match yet, but I've been in the hub for quite a while on NA

Submit a stipend of 5000 aquillas to fix this tech heresy

Does anyone regularly play Darktide on a handheld?

[marsh iris]

let me guess, arms go stiff from steamdeck

[reef elk]

I don’t have a handheld at all

Been considering getting one and unsure if the extra 30 frames from the Ally will make the difference or not

[marsh iris]

strangely 30fps on a small screen doesnt feel as bad as on a monitor

[reef elk]

I literally have a constant 144 on maxed setting on PC

I’m not expecting the same performance by any means

[marsh iris]

not sure about Ally, though on steamdeck its very playable

[torn garnet]

does block efficiency help with pushing?

[reef elk]

That’s what I’m worried about, wishing you a fast recovery!!

[obtuse bobcat]

Don't believe so

[night fractal]

I asked in the channel, but is the shotpistol more of a pistol or shotgun in terms of gameplay? As I notice it's not too effective at range, so should I be using it more closer?

[obtuse bobcat]

Thank you! Definitely not as easy as mouse and keyboard with less buttons but Im up to Heresy in the campaign and it's not bad. Just gotta get used to it

I was playing Auric Damnation on M+K before.

[modest flume]

You can use it for both; at long range it is deceptively accurate

[dry bay]

It a shotgun but I think its slugs

[modest flume]

But it is a shotgun

[dry bay]

And its fine at range Ive found

I think it has slugs or something cause I can snipe far off specialist with it

[reef elk]

I am a sweaty sweaty havoc 40 player on M+kb and have almost 0 playtime with controller lol.

[night fractal]

Thank you, guess it'll just take some getting used to. As I was thinking it was just a pistol the whole time.

[modern bobcat]

Lol god damn there's still some absolutely useless people in DT

I just had to solo 2 end objectives on Smelter Complex while the 3 others ran around holding their dicks

Shotpistol one shots the nurgle daemon tentacles though

[modern bobcat]

so makes it easy

yes thank fuck lol

You're supposed to send those to the Foot Throne

[modern bobcat]

Is that a talent ?

[round mica]

no

it’s a setting

Should have been default

idk if any of you guys play helldivers, but the jet brigade is back

and uh

[harsh oak]

shame that there is no custom hud presets

don’t know if they are in game yet tho

So... If that old bug which made you not have torso cosmetics would come back, would that mean we were too lexy for our shirts?

[round mica]

[round mica]

i mean it averages about 50 to 80k concurrent players

and seeing that’s it 8 AM on a thursday, and has 46,900 active players, i’d say yes

[dry bay]

Im just kinda surprised cause the gameplay loop is kinda meh and I thought people were upset with Arrowhead and Sony still

(I haven't played since before they reverted all the nerfs)

[round mica]

sony yeah arrowhead no

[stable fox]

Well at least they removed region restriction.

[round mica]

arrowhead has been putting in work

[round mica]

all but for like 7 or 8 countries for political reasons

[stable fox]

Kazakhstan can actually have this game.

So win - win situation.

[round mica]

but helldivers is in a good spot with the consistent warbonds, and weapon level system now

some of these weapons are insane now

i need more bullets i need more bullets i need more bullets i need more bullets

[stable fox]

TBF Shmaul has a beefy push anyways

yes, lady at the commisary ||was a heretic all along and its a big reveal on lvl30 (except not really because nobody even knows who she is||

[round mica]

[vestal mantle]

Like when they were showing the chaos signs she was there, and she was in the blessing weapons cutscene

[amber delta]

then you paid more attention to the cutscenes than basically anybody eles

[vestal mantle]

I guess... I only see out of one eye so when im watching a video my good eye is all over the place

[urban valley]

Feels good to use, anyway.

[vestal mantle]

Anywho, I was just confused

Now I wanna use a shotgun

I bet Infiltrate would work well with it

[round mica]

does anyone feel like the shield and maul is much stronger than the normal shock maul for arb?

[dreamy cliff]

the normal shock maul is insanely sick cause u can put skullcrusher on it

[dry bay]

Normal shock maul go buzzzz

Its a taser

[dreamy cliff]

the arbites shock maul is pretty sick, you can do a fast strike down combo which is actually really nice

[dry bay]

And its great

[dreamy cliff]

Yeah the Taser is awesome

[verbal shuttle]

Shield melter

[round mica]

do you run HV and SC on it?

High voltage and skullcrusher

Skullcrusher is actually insane

[round mica]

orthus offensive is now in normal rotation

Especially with stagger on weakspot for 4 seconds l0l

[round mica]

i’ll try it out

[warm goblet]

Dear fs can you give the arbites class a c4 I think it would be funny

[hybrid grove]

Guess I have to wait for it, cheers

[verbal shuttle]

Go in the forums and post that. Have them foam at the mouth in anger.

[dreamy cliff]

Quickplaying into twins has been pretty poggers

[warm goblet]

Good idea

[round mica]

how are people supposed to the get the secret hard mode penance now tho?

[dreamy cliff]

I don't know

[round mica]

dude im fucking dumb i thought you meant arbiter shock maul has skullcrusher

[verbal shuttle]

I always like looking in the forums and seeing the worst takes or people glazing the book of grudges

[tired steeple]

Anyone got tips for fighting bulwarks

[amber delta]

don't hit the shield

[verbal shuttle]

Let someone else kill it.

[tired steeple]

I wanna kill them faster. Feel like I’m going about it too slowly

[amber delta]

big news I know

[lime beacon]

If you angle the right attack the right way, you can hit the top of their head even if they’re pointing their shield at you

[tired steeple]

That’s kinda what I do lol

Oh awesome

I either kill one someone else is fighting or vice versa

[lime beacon]

That’s good

Much more reliable than what I just said lol

[tired steeple]

As psyker the forcesword just bypasses it with the special

*force sword

[rigid lotus]

I haven't played in 6 months, what have I missed? I tried the force sword a bit but then I took a break

[amber delta]

psyker has a ton of tools to get past the shield

[tired steeple]

Some events

[rigid lotus]

Any big differences in crafting and talents?

[tired steeple]

Electrokinetic staff also helps

[verbal shuttle]

Use smite for the funny

[rigid lotus]

Are my weapons good? still

[amber delta]

brain burst, smite, every kind of staff

[round mica]

what’s perks do you run on normal shock maul?

[tired steeple]

I think most weapons got buffed?

[rigid lotus]

was thinking stats and stuff

I did perfect weapon for all weapons

[dreamy cliff]

Nah, arbites shock maul u want Execution (I think it's called - damage on stagger, but it's more balanced than skullcrusher)

[rigid lotus]

before I quit

[severe sequoia]

Things that were good months ago are still good

Things that were bad then are better now

[dreamy cliff]

Arbites shock maul is good though I've been enjoying it

[rigid lotus]

Ah so nowadays you really can use anything?

Except maybe for Havoc?

[round mica]

and what perks do you run on normal shock maul? flak and carapace?

[paper bluff]

Has the fat shark said anything about the solo mode they promised?

[dreamy cliff]

I do flak and unyield, flak and cara would work for sure, flak maniacs, your choice

[round mica]

bet

[amber delta]

yes they said everyone who is complaining about lack of solo mode should go touch some grass and find friends to play with instead

[round mica]

so flak and whatever, HV and SC

[amber delta]

their exact words

[round mica]

and i just destroy everything

[dreamy cliff]

Tap once to the head to stagger, tap again to proc skullcrusher, then wail away

[round mica]

i’m guessing you spam the special on the big boys often?

[dreamy cliff]

I'm using the special quite a bit it's very good

Ragers, deffo bulwarks, muties

But also u can just wail away

[night fractal]

For Smaul and shield Mark VI feels like the best one, unless the other variant does things better?

[round mica]

and you’re using the MK IA right?

[dreamy cliff]

Yeah the Agni

[round mica]

[dreamy cliff]

it's very good

[round mica]

branx MK VI is the better one i believe yeah

[night fractal]

That's what I am feeling. It has great crowd control, and pretty nice ST combos.

[void herald]

how do you unlock auric missions?

[round mica]

gotta complete a certain amount of damnation missions without failing

it’s how you unlock all difficulties on newer characters now

[void herald]

is that tracked anywhere?

[round mica]

yes

when you look at the mission board, look at the word damnation

[azure cobalt]

I...AM...THE...LEX!!

[round mica]

you’ll see a bar under it

[void herald]

cool, thanks

[round mica]

fill that bar up

but know this

if you lose a mission

it does take away progress

[gilded crown]

Hello darktiders

[void herald]

good thing I never lose

[round mica]

[verbal shuttle]

What if instead of lexmate it was freaky and they were jerkmates

Big cringe partner

Cry more

Not even a little.

You're just not in the know

Sadly I’m not…. Don’t need to rub it in

[ivory skiff]

darktide is the only game that transforms my 4090 into a radiator

[dense crown]

I’m gonna beat you over the head with my personal copy of the Lex you filthy Slaanesh worshipper

[verbal shuttle]

Someone didn't praise the omnissiah

[modern bobcat]

I will looking

ty

I see Epic Cole has pinned a bunch of builds in Arbites chat

[verbal shuttle]

Real players click randomly on their skill tree and instantly play damnation

[plain falcon]

This is the way!

[hidden wedge]

My random teammates already do this apparently

[onyx arch]

Don't forget to leave match if you get downed

[hidden wedge]

all the time

[verbal shuttle]

First you barrel someone if they comment that you are not doing well.

[zinc marsh]

sorry but we're not giving the arbites the god damn felinid helmet with ear slots.

[dry bay]

I bought an oversized cpu cooler and my pc runs a lot cooler now

However. It still pushes out a lot of heat and makes my room hot af

[verbal shuttle]

Have you tried putting it in rice.

[crude slate]

I'd love to bang a barbarian muscle bound woman

DND idea!!!

Eureka

[dry bay]

My pc is made of rice

[zinc marsh]

"Roll for stamina..."
"... and thats a one."

[thick coyote]

Yeah you can use anything on any difficulty and even havoc*

*As long as you have the skills to bring bad weapons to havoc

[jovial pine]

*this is technically possible for anything that isnt strictly impossible to do

[rigid lotus]

How's the overall difficulty for Havoc? I remember it was so hard even in the level 20s

W randoms

[verbal shuttle]

I refuse to use anything except lasgun on my vet. As the God Emperor intended

[rigid lotus]

I don't have friends who play

[verbal shuttle]

Eh. Havoc died off quickly it might have a second wind now cause of the new class.

[rigid lotus]

yes but I want to complete all penances

[thick coyote]

It's pretty hard

You'll notice boss spam

Like 7 bosses at once

[fiery wave]

Free heater, they say.

[thick coyote]

And one of them has a gun

I hate that plasma pistol

[modern bobcat]

What blessings are good for Shotpistol + Shield?

[graceful drift]

full bore and no respite

[modern bobcat]

Don't see relentless

Ah I see XD

[graceful drift]

ye, made an oopsie

[modern bobcat]

What about maul and shield?

I went Hammerblow/Opportunist

and flak/maniac

[graceful drift]

I still have to try it

so, idk

[modern bobcat]

also flak/maniac on sshotpistol/shield

But maybe Carapace/Flak better?

[graceful drift]

I went maniacs/unyielding

cause the boss damage it pretty nice

[modern bobcat]

They've done a really poor job with the trinkets on Arbites items

they don't attach to the rings on mauls

they just clip into handle lol

[void herald]

yeah it's awful for no reason

seems like a bug or oversight

[modern bobcat]

Are people using Branx Mk VI or XI for maul/shield?

VI is higher damage on light and heavy

[safe marlin]

Default for single target, other one for horde

[void herald]

VI because I love the strikedown

especially on my forceful build

[tired steeple]

I hate Roman numerals

[warm goblet]

I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X

[tired steeple]

Thank you

See it’s always 8-9 I get confused at

[warm goblet]

XI XII XII XIV XV XVI XVII XVIII XIX XX

It's pretty easy to remember until you reach 40

It starts to get very confusing once you reach 50 and beyond

[lethal wolf]

guys whats wrong with the game, im lvl 30 with my psyker since the game released and im unable to play anything else above uprising difficulty ?

[quartz goblet]

Did you opt into the new campaign?

[halcyon glen]

Thoughts on darktide?

[lethal wolf]

no I skipped it

[jovial pine]

E

[quartz goblet]

weird

[thick coyote]

It's dark

And

Tide

[halcyon glen]

stop it

[modern bobcat]

You didn't skip it then

Go to Oska and pay 50,000 coins to reroll your character personality

just redo all the traits you want

and once done click confirm and skip campaign

[lethal wolf]

well im 100% sure to have skipped the campaign

[modern bobcat]

If you can't play anything above uprising, you misclicked or it didn't register you skipping it

So options are to go to the personality scourge

or play the campaign

[halcyon glen]

I just got promoted to a convict

[modern bobcat]

Choose one.

[lethal wolf]

just did it

and im still locked to uprising

[modern bobcat]

In that case, contact FS support there's a link somewhere in Discord

[round mica]

dude the shock maul fucking rips

thing ain’t even fully upgraded and cleared auric like it was sedition

[safe marlin]

You cannot skip the difficulty progression on new characters. You gotta do the low ones and work up sadly.

[lethal wolf]

well, im level 30... this is not a new character

[safe marlin]

Did you have any high difficulty achieves on it by chance?

[thick coyote]

Took forever huh

[halcyon glen]

E

real

[lethal wolf]

what do you mean? the penances of high difficulties levels?

[dreamy cliff]

it's sick, I was using it on zealot for a couple of weeks before the patch and it's better now & synergies from arbites tree makes it next level

[safe marlin]

Yes, damnation, auric, high havoc

I'm wondering if having those impacts if something was unlocked or not.

[lethal wolf]

i was just confirming

and yes I do

[safe marlin]

For me all my old ones had damnation+auric by default

New ones needed to go through the motions

[crimson wing]

They made auric way too easy it's so fucking boring. I'm never gonna play havoc

[round mica]

i think if you have a character prior to this update they calculated how much you’ve done on it to determine if you have to do the higher levels or not

[long sigil]

give zealot more nod

not a damn stat nod

[safe marlin]

High havoc is the step up from auric

[round mica]

so your ogryn must not have that much playtime on it to be locked out

[lethal wolf]

I did not login with my Orgryn since the update, he is also 30

let me check

[long sigil]

enough shield

[crimson wing]

It's also impossible to find a match

[long sigil]

even 15+

why 15+

[lethal wolf]

ok so i have the popup about the campaign for the Orgryn

i will hold press "Skip the Campaign"

[long sigil]

cleave nod it will cool

damn sleeyp

me go sleeep

[lethal wolf]

and im also stuck in Uprising.

[long sigil]

beyfog

[fiery wave]

I guess it's based on number of games played before maybe.

[lethal wolf]

does not make sense, i played way more psyker than anything else

[void herald]

yeah if you started a new character and skipped campaign you have to do x amount of missions before the next difficulty unlocks

there's a bar under the difficulty selection that shows your progress

[lethal wolf]

but this is not a new character, its my main character that I used prior to the update, he is level 30 😄

[fiery wave]

But it sounds like they are complaining about a lvl 30 old oggy stuck in uprising.

[void herald]

ooooooo

my b

[lethal wolf]

@forest creek can i get some support here ?

[forest creek]

Heya! For technical support its best to submit a ticket 🙂

[lethal wolf]

well, i will raise a ticket, hopefully it wont take that much time otherwise i would just grind from uprising again with my character..

[fiery wave]

Is why I wondered if it's more than just lvl 30 required.

[strong kettle]

it would probably take longer for a ticket to get answered and fixed than it would to just bang out some lower difficulty missions, folks are running through them quick right now since a lot of people are in the same boat

[lethal wolf]

guess so.. but my two mains are in that situation, i just dont have the faith to do it for both chars again 😄

[fiery wave]

Or old players on Arbites.

[formal wharf]

i love how incompetant my team becomes when it isnt mostly arbitez

[amber delta]

I got a reply to my ticket within an hour last time I submitted it

[hardy wren]

DLC is shit cuz I can’t give dog red rocket 😡😡😡😡😡

[fiery wave]

Naw, there's also Arbites carried by their dog.

[hardy wren]

He deserves praise for being good boy killing all elites specialists

😡😡😡😡

[strong kettle]

I leave my dog at home so he’s not in danger

[fiery wave]

Zealot/Arbites mains are down there.

[hardy wren]

Gonna play campaign with my gf as my zealot

who's @hexed apex and why did they send me a message telling me I'm totally useless and then turned their replies off lmao

what did I do

[tired steeple]

Yeah wtf

[hardy wren]

That’s not nice

[tired steeple]

Yeah what

HAHAHAHA

[fading yarrow]

Newbie question in that I've seen in Hallowette's store there are some cosmetics that indicate they'll change how your character sounds - Is there a way to preview what the sound change will be before buying?

[neon zinc]

I heard heads kinda when you preview it on your char but legs no

[neon zinc]

but im doing my part

cant post the gif

[modern bobcat]

Do your part harder

[neon zinc]

im like pretty solid

[fading yarrow]

Drat, I was asking because of legs specifically

[neon zinc]

what kinda leg you looking at

[fading yarrow]

The new zealot ones

[neon zinc]

pegleg type or steel stompers type

[strong kettle]

I haven’t noticed anything different on the new zealot boots. If it’s different it seems very minor

[neon zinc]

did the shop update again?

[strong kettle]

or I’m stupid, that’s also possible

[neon zinc]

or is it the saltzpyre ones yous is talking abt

[tired steeple]

The lets change how you sound??

[fading yarrow]

I can't post a picture but they're the zealot legs from the new witch hunter esque set

[modern bobcat]

You can post pics in #darktide-driptide

[fading yarrow]

oki I posted them there!

I ask because I picked up a Psyker head item from the store that changed my Psyker's voice and her sword swings now are absolutely grating. they sound so badly balanced

and i do NOT want to make that same mistake with real dollars for darktide dressups

[strong kettle]

yeah, I’ve played a few rounds with them on so far and it’s not noticeable

you’re not getting squeaky clown shoes or anything

[fading yarrow]

unironically give my ogryn squeaky clown shoes please

[strong kettle]

yes please

[fading yarrow]

Explicator Bozo

[tired steeple]

I love 40k cause I can guess half the jobs and understand them. Wtf is an explicator

[fading yarrow]

very explicit job i fear

above your clearance

[strong kettle]

if you have to ask, you’re not qualified

that’s Zola’s title though, it doesn’t mean much

[dreamy cliff]

its a junior Interrogator

[fading yarrow]

take your interrogator to work day. now now explicator, you're not big enough to play with the grimdark thumbscrews yet

[tired steeple]

Sergeant? Guardsman rank. Interrogator? Inquisitor in training who, also, interrogates a lot. Rogue Trader? Lots of lore for that one but yeah they’re the guys who go around being rich as hell and sometimes trade with xenos.

Explicator sounds like she renovates living rooms or something

[dreamy cliff]

or like an Analyst position

[tired steeple]

Oh okay thank you

[strong kettle]

it’s more of an analyst thing due to her knowledge of tertium, I don’t think junior interrogators have ever had a specific title in books/lore that I can remember

[fiery wave]

You can turn it off in settings.

[thick coyote]

She's a torture, I mean, Intel extractor specialist

So she can

Explain things

[dreamy cliff]

I think it's all from the background material for the Inquisitor tabletop game

[tired steeple]

I only learned that exists yesterday

[fading yarrow]

inquisitor was such a cool concept i just wish they had done it at normal scale

[safe adder]

a zealot tried to talk to my arbites and i just told them to shut up i'm busy fighting😭

[dreamy cliff]

They went so hard on the background for that, shouts out to Gav Thorpe

[fading yarrow]

the whole white dwarf series for it was excellent

custom converted warbands that were remodeled after each match to represent the damage they'd taken

[tired steeple]

I’ll check it out if I can. Maybe it’s on e-bay or maybe someone just plopped the books online

[fading yarrow]

the hero of every battle report was the arco-flagelant that the rogue inquisitor had replaced the chain flails of with a single power claw

[dreamy cliff]

ur best off finding a PDF, the Inquisitor books are expensive

[strong kettle]

I don’t really get into the war game side of things but there’s a revival community lately, look up Inq28. People are still playing using various rulesets

[tired steeple]

Thought so, thanks

[dry bay]

Wish Sm2 was more like darktide

First person space marine would be legit

[tired steeple]

Gonna use TTS to play 40k with gf sometime

[blazing shadow]

bro i hate this new sistem , you can't go on auric at level 30 and full equip

[steep patrol]

Is quick match broken? I almost never get replacement for a 4th player if they leave.

[dry bay]

You gotta complete x amount of missions

(I agree its kinda stupid)

[blazing shadow]

i'm not even avaible on damnation and i'm full equip

[dry bay]

But I appreciate not having new players jump straight into damnation

[blazing shadow]

i guess but normal games are very easy to carry to be honest

[dry bay]

Yeah I still have to complete like 5 more missions to unlock auric

I had to play zealot just to play auric again

[blazing shadow]

is there any where to see that req?

[dry bay]

Its on the mission board

Its a little bar

[upper citrus]

cool, in the inferno maps you can see the flamers idle burning the map

[tired steeple]

Oh yeah. That was neat

[blazing shadow]

do you mind if i show you a pic cause i can't see it?

[tired steeple]

I need to start bringing flashlights to those missions

[blazing shadow]

oh dam

[upper citrus]

right above the play button

[blazing shadow]

nvm i'm blind

thanks

[modern bobcat]

God damn I just shot a Daemonhost as Arbites lol

[upper citrus]

YOU ARE THE LEX

[thick coyote]

Square up

🗣️

[upper citrus]

do you not shoot daemonhosts on sight?

[modern bobcat]

Wasn't close enough to hear it or see the smoke

aiming at a Flamer on event mission with my shotgun

[tired steeple]

That reminds me

[modern bobcat]

the spread hit Dhost and alerted it lol

[tired steeple]

I was playing with a guy who I’m pretty sure was new

[modern bobcat]

had no idea it was even there

[tired steeple]

Or just not very good. Maybe he was rustu

Rusty

And, he just

Walks up to a daemonhost and smacks it

As if it’s an enemy you’re supposed to fight

… We somehow killed it

[upper citrus]

if not meant to be killed? why heretic
I kill all daemonhosts i encounter

[modern bobcat]

Arbites is absolutely insane

[compact flint]

The daemonhosts fear this guy and his confidence

[modern bobcat]

When you hit that ability to walk forward with shotgun

[marsh iris]

Relax and Lex

[tired steeple]

He was actually pretty good at the game though

[modern bobcat]

you just mow down everything in your path

and are basically unkillable

Also

[tired steeple]

Other than making several strange decisions

[modern bobcat]

someone needs to name their dog

[upper citrus]

if the daemonhost wasnt an enemy youre supposed to fight, why they have an hp bar

[modern bobcat]

"Karen's Worst Nightmare"

[compact flint]

This reminds me of a guy in my auric maelstrom inferno that made it his mission to hit every barrel on the map. It was not fun.

[zinc marsh]

incase you wanted to kill something just for the laughs

[tired steeple]

I also did run into a guy who 2 shotted a Daemonhost

[tired steeple]

pffft

That sounds funny but must have sucked

[upper citrus]

i am here to kill heretics, daemonhosts fit that description

[compact flint]

I would always be either in front of or behind my team separated by fire and it was just lil ol me and my flamer fighting a horde

Never again.

[modern bobcat]

Is there a specific build for Crusher on Arbites

or same as Zealot

[compact flint]

Zealot has a lot of ways w dealing w crushers

[modern bobcat]

No, Crusher the weapon

[compact flint]

OH hahahahha

[upper citrus]

xds

[round mica]

the new portrait for the event is actually nice

[upper citrus]

it is

[round mica]

thank you fatshark

[modern bobcat]

Zealot is Skullcrusher + Slaughter

does Arbites benefit from any other blessings?

[compact flint]

Hmmmm

[modern bobcat]

Thunderstrike adds stacks of Impact if enemy is staggered for ex

[round mica]

so with the orthus offensive being in rotation now, how are players meant to get the secret hard mode penance?

[modern bobcat]

Tag Ainz in Discord

Ez

[compact flint]

That could be fun to play w especially since that talent tree has a lot to do with stagger

[round mica]

i already have it, but i’m curious for others

[modern bobcat]

They also need to tag Ainz

[round mica]

because you can’t just select the mission anymore can you?

[modern bobcat]

Everyone needs to be pinging Ainz every time the map comes up

[tawny grail]

What situation are people finding themselves in where they have to re-unlock the difficulties with existing characters? Is that some campaign thing?

[modern bobcat]

24 hours a day

[round mica]

either that or they haven’t played as much as they thought they have

[thick coyote]

No, apparently that's a thing for any new character you make

[tawny grail]

Makes more sense for new characters

[round mica]

it also exists if you haven’t played much on a character you already created

because i have a vet i have level 30, has all the bells and whistles but its locked outta damnation and up

bc i didn’t play it all that much

[simple drum]

So thats probably gonna happen to me

[tawny grail]

Ah okay
All my characters are something like 160+ so hopefully they're okay
I don't mind leveling/unlocking difficulties for Arbites

AND all the new Arbites penances helped me quickly unlock those last portrait frames I've wanted forever lol

[modern bobcat]

It doesn't take long to unlock everything up to Auric

Has taken me like 8 hours total play

from Uprising to Auric

[round mica]

the new arbite class made me finally finish hestias blessing lol

[modern bobcat]

and during that time you're levelling the Arbites weapon masteries

[mossy solstice]

Damn, that entire love drop about Emora Brahms is hella interesting. wtf is Kharib experimenting on that is requires so much power from the Mourning star?

[modern bobcat]

8 hours to go Uprising to Auric, 8 hours to unlock lvl 20 mastery on the 4 Arbites weapons

[round mica]

bro is John Math

[modern bobcat]

so now I'm fully levelled, full masteries/completed weapon builds empowered etc

It's not exactly taxing

[amber delta]

now that you're fully levelled you can go back to playing Loner

[tawny grail]

I need them to make the character list a few pixels taller so we don't have a scroll bar for our character list
Thumbs down refunded

[modern bobcat]

No I gotta do the penances first

then I can delete my dog forever

and ascend to true Lonerhood

[round mica]

just play zealot

that made me vomit

[tawny grail]

Did heresy get easier with the difficulty reshuffle

[bitter flume]

Brittle mastiff is too good and I love my CC

[round mica]

do not play zealot

i repeat

no zealot

[harsh oak]

if anybody here has some modded UI can you please send me you user_settings file? and screenshot so I can see how your UI actually looks?

[bitter flume]

I’m still gonna play my Legion of Bleed Zealot

[prisma cypress]

I will play relic blade zealot and you’re gonna watch

[dry bay]

Yes

The whole game got easier

[bitter flume]

I play chastise knife zealot but I do have a set up with other weapons

You have to play like me to really get close to dying all the time and even then, it’s rare cause of how Toughness works

[modern bobcat]

Ah damn I forgot to do the Untouchable penance

before they removed Sedition

[bitter flume]

Uprising is still very easy

[dry bay]

I mean its the first difficulty

Of course its easy

[modern bobcat]

It is, but Sedition you could just walk through on autopilot with the bots

[dry bay]

Uprising to Heresy is easy. Damnation is also easy

[bitter flume]

Just grab a board and walk with it if you’re nervous

[dry bay]

The game only gets challenging at havoc 40 with the crazy modifiers

[modern bobcat]

Untouchable penance is complete mission taken no damage of any kind

it's not about difficulty

Sedition was the quickest way to complete it

is the point.

I just never bothered

[bitter flume]

I think I got that by being toughness devouring zealot with my Crusher

[dry bay]

Good thing Uprising is just sedation

[bitter flume]

Sedition with actual spawn rates

[modern bobcat]

I'll need to look for a build for it, Zealot or Vet with high ability cooldown reduction to spam shout

[bitter flume]

I take builds and extend my chaos into it cause I don’t play optimally but I still get shit done by just being stupid

I’ve just learned that if I see a red laser I have my primary target on the field and have a bolt gun or vigilant

My guns are served for specials at range unless I can get to them

[modern bobcat]

I forgot to do Orthus Offensive without triggering more than 3 mines as well

[bitter flume]

Now I have a dog…

[modern bobcat]

🤦‍♂️

I even have them tracked from before update lol

[bitter flume]

Even then I QuickDraw the shotpistol and dome snipers with out even bracing the shield half the time

Starting to wonder if they lowered sniper tracking/hitbox because I’ve been consistently dodging them

That or I got gud at dodging

[modern bobcat]

It's basically a mini Kickback

extremely accurate for being a blunderbuss lol

[bitter flume]

Oh so it is a shotgun?

I thought it was a revolver with big as shit rounds

[modern bobcat]

Yeh

It's a shot-pistol

but same thing basically

Hopefully they give Arbites Heavy Stubber at some point

[bitter flume]

I love now just bullying hordes and specials with high impact and damage

[south jetty]

Lex on the Beach

[tired steeple]

What is the heavy sword even for

[bitter flume]

Honestly…. Good question

The universal weapon that’s a Jack of all trades that it isn’t even good at

[tired steeple]

It feels really weak

[marsh iris]

listening to LexFi FM

[modern bobcat]

It's for people who want to hurt themselves

[tired steeple]

Ah okay

[marsh iris]

Mandated Muzak

[maiden jacinth]

Heavy sword is fine

[bitter flume]

Lex FM staring Five Finger Death Punch

[maiden jacinth]

Its amazing at lopping off rager heads

[tired steeple]

See a while ago, I tried the knife and went “who would use this in a horde shooter”

I was very wrong to think that

[modern bobcat]

I would rather poke them with a Duelling Sword

[maiden jacinth]

And the generic lights are great horizontal headheight for chaff

I see, you're infected with the taint

[bitter flume]

Me bleeding the Deamonhost some goober touched and it’s now laying in it’s own blood, pus and shit

[south jetty]

Heavy swords are horde machetes

[tired steeple]

Same with dueling sword. Would not have expected that to be as strong as it is. My favourite’s just the chainsword though

[maiden jacinth]

Thats the devil's claw

[south jetty]

Devil's claw is also good for that yes

We do not respect the dueling sword in this holy house

[maiden jacinth]

Heavy sword gives up the parry for being able to chop up flak and below threats very easily

[south jetty]

can't wait for it to get nerfed like crazy

[tired steeple]

Eh I’ll keep the parry

[bitter flume]

Then you have Relic blade literally made for taking down shit in rows

[tired steeple]

I’ve never actually used a relic sword

[bitter flume]

Crusher can do the same while you bully them

[maiden jacinth]

Heavy sword has its place. I like it as a weapon

[south jetty]

Love dclaw parry for shit like chaos spawns

[maiden jacinth]

Dueling sword if it was actually fucking balanced

[bitter flume]

Dueling sword is too good that I don’t like using it

[marsh iris]

drooling soard

bring me closer, i want to hit them with my drool

[tired steeple]

I kinda felt that with recon las. Does it fall off on higher difficulties?

Cause that gun’s kinda insane

[bitter flume]

You can literally get fire damage and infinite ammo as Vet with recon las gun

[tired steeple]

Jesus christ

I prefer bolt pistol. Gotta try combat shotgun again now that it’s been buffed though

[bitter flume]

With the right build it will just not run out of ammo and ruin monstrosities with fire and crit damage

[tawny grail]

Hah
I just queued up with my ogryn after playing Arbites all week and not a single teammate was Arbites

[bitter flume]

As a Lexmate you have a higher chance of matching with a Lexmate imagine

[tawny grail]

I was expecting tons of ogryn + arbites dialog

[shy flame]

So many Judges running around. Dog looks OP.

[tired steeple]

Do you know how happy I am to not hear that one zealot voice everytime I load into a game?

[tawny grail]

I think it's a level thing
Arbites is 22, ogryn is like 260

[bitter flume]

Yeah 4 dogs attacking a Nurgle baby just gets fucked

Given I was playing Malice but four dogs hitting one BoN just tanks it’s health

[maiden jacinth]

Playing as an arbites squad through the campaign has been very silly

The dogs alone chew through most of the chaff without lifting a finger

[shy flame]

It really looks like if a Arbite messes up, the dog just bails them out which just seems wrong.

[tired steeple]

Yeah that’s… about my only arbites complaint

[maiden jacinth]

Though having to double ping a target makes me feel like one of those tism vets with yellow ping

[tawny grail]

I need a separate bind for dog ping

[bitter flume]

I died once on Karnak twins just cause I didn’t know about the gas clouds in the boss room as an Arbites

[tawny grail]

But your other characters knew about the gas cloud? lol

[bitter flume]

No I actually never fought the twins before the campaign

[maiden jacinth]

Shhhh, theyre method acting

[tawny grail]

I know I'm just playing, your wording set me up

[modern bobcat]

Look at the ceiling when the gas comes up

there will be an extractor fan in a cone of light

[bitter flume]

I mean once but I didn’t fully know their gimmick till I did and just never fought them again cause I’m not a big fan of shared shield mechanics on bosses

[modern bobcat]

as soon as gas comes up, run and dodge slide forward toward the lighted zone

[bitter flume]

Oh I figured that out when I was one shot and a muty grabbed me lol

[tired steeple]

Dark souls 2 throne watcher and defender

[modern bobcat]

in later stages gas blocked that zone once and you have to move

[fiery wave]

Up to 2 times.

[modern bobcat]

the lighted zone usually switches sides to opposite end

[fiery wave]

I forgot hard mode though.

[modern bobcat]

Yes I meant that, just worded poorly

You get lighted zone, then it switches during same phase

[bitter flume]

Yeah last cycle is two back and forth openings of the fan filter system

[modern bobcat]

Don't prioritise anything other than getting to lighted zone, just dodge slide away from enemies

[bitter flume]

I just stopped focusing Ads unless it’s a special with pinning or high damage like Snipes or ragers

[modern bobcat]

Once you're out of gas you can fight and crowd control

[bitter flume]

I do the Zulu technique most of the time instead of crowd fighting

[modern bobcat]

Do you know how damage to the Twins works ?

Rinda takes more from Ranged, Rodin from Melee

and best thing is to focus Rodin down first to remove plasma gun from fight

[bitter flume]

Ah got it that makes sense that’s why my police brutality did more to Rodin

[modern bobcat]

I can't remember so maybe someone can correct me, I believe their shields also take more damage from opposite weapon type

[bitter flume]

I usually beat on Rinds to gain angro and shield block

Rinda

[fiery wave]

Rinda still takes normal from melee, just more than standard for ranged.

[bitter flume]

Break dude’s shield first then beat on Rinda to make her mad at me so I can defend on her blows

[modern bobcat]

I can't remember why you're meant to focus Rodin first

but it's what I was told anyway

@stark bobcat is the Karnak expert tho

[bitter flume]

I wonder if his shield is weaker since he is ranged

[fiery wave]

If he enrages, enjoy minefield hell.

[modern bobcat]

I think it's to remove mines and also because he takes additional melee damage it's quicker to kill him

[fiery wave]

The surviving twin will enrage upon death of the other.

[bitter flume]

Unless you’re me and you just don’t have chill since when one Karnak remains they don’t explode

I believe

[ember nimbus]

i really like playing double shield arbies

[fiery wave]

Rodin enraging is mines EVERYWHERE.

[ember nimbus]

the shotrevolver seems kinda weak but its fun to use

[modern bobcat]

You mean like a shield in each hand?

[fiery wave]

Rinda just makes her faster.

[ember nimbus]

i wish

THE WALL

[tawny grail]

Shield+Mace primary, Shield+Pistol secondary

[modern bobcat]

Did you ever play Mount and Blade Warband?

Used to be a strategy where you could wear a huge Viking Roundshield on your back

[clear spoke]

is full auto still in mortis trials?

[modern bobcat]

and have one on your arm

to be invincible from front and back at same time

[digital oasis]

is it possible to have all 80% numbers on a weapon in all categories?

[magic thistle]

FATSHARK
add an adeptus mechanicus and squat class and my life is yours

[ember nimbus]

80% in 4 categories means 60% in one

380% is max iirc

[digital oasis]

ok ty m8

[ember nimbus]

381% technically

[modern bobcat]

They'll never add Squats because FatShark hates leg day

[tawny grail]

As they should

[digital oasis]

i really hope we get Sisters of Battle

get us some ability that lets us sprout divine effects like angel wings

I'm not biased, I swear

[ember nimbus]

this dlc makes me low key excited for tech adept ||one day||

[turbid bison]

We might get eldar on the Mourning star in near future?

[tawny grail]

Overwatch is that way >

[digital oasis]

[magic thistle]

I agree

[tawny grail]

[modern bobcat]

And what about the Misters of Battle? Did you ever think of them?
