general-chat

[twin flower]

My only fromsoft experience is honestly just Elden and Sekiro

[tawny gorge]

if it was wrong you'd be in jail so praise the emperor and shut up

[formal mortar]

If you like Kingsfield, give Lunacid a shot

[twin flower]

Im familiar with the DS series but I never played it myself

[tawny gorge]

play Armored Core 6

[civic otter]

I'd say it's more or less a loud minority tbh, but i can't say for sure, not the biggest sekiro guy. I just play lotta dark souls and bloodborne

[round mica]

i could load up right now on my level 90 and invade pontiffs back porch and have no issues

[blissful kiln]

I believe all Dark Souls have somewhat active PvP still

[round mica]

it does

[twin flower]

Ooh, Ive actually been meaning to try that one

[round mica]

tournaments are still being held to this day

and events aswell

[twin flower]

I just keep forgetting the game exists every now and then

[blissful kiln]

DS3 PvP on the pontiff balcony was fun

except when some asshole pulled out a flame surge kiting "build"

[formal mortar]

@upper parcel since you played kingsfield, did you play eternal ring?

[molten matrix]

elden ring pvp made me want to jump off of a cliff

[blissful kiln]

[round mica]

it’s where friendships were made, and also where friendships went to die

[vestal mantle]

Morning

[elder hare]

mornin

[tawny gorge]

it's a masterpiece the best Mecha game

[upper parcel]

I didn't finish it.

[twin flower]

Im actually gonna download it now that you reminded me

[elder hare]

DS3 Arena had so many hours sunk into it

[formal mortar]

Ah, the ending is weird

[twin flower]

Lest I forget about it again

[tawny gorge]

if you play it you have to play it with headphones

the games sound design is better than every souls game combined

multiplied by 5

[twin flower]

Id imagine its what most people use

unless theres peeps here that uses a stereo or something

[round mica]

i’m not even gonna lie, i genuinely do think i might be one of the few only people who got to soul level 802 legitimately on ds3

[formal mortar]

Is the darktide event still ongoing? Or did it end? Not at the pc and just curious

[tawny gorge]

i dont use headphones most of the time i have a pretty neat audio setup

[round mica]

it’s ova

it’s gone

it’s done kaput

[blissful kiln]

It's till October 13

[vestal mantle]

Nope, I have a soundbar and 8 speakers in my living room

[round mica]

oh

i lied

[twin flower]

Sheeessh

[upper parcel]

Lunacid was solid, tho the combat was kinda weak from what I remember.

The developer of Lunacid also made Lost in Vivo, a really solid horror game.

[round mica]

my apolocheese for the miscommunication

[vestal mantle]

On the one hand, it is gaming without headphones

[tawny gorge]

why 8

[formal mortar]

Never heard of lost in vivo ill have to look that up

[vestal mantle]

The kit has the bass seperated from the speaker

[little marten]

Nioh 2 and Khazan are the current pinnacle of combat

[vestal mantle]

So you stack em on top of each other

[tawny gorge]

ah okay you dont have one of those weird

200 speakers in 200 different positions setup

[tawny gorge]

agreed on nioh 2 for games released in the last decade

didnt play kazan

[vestal mantle]

Nope... On the plus side they are good for gaming and movies

[upper parcel]

Just noticed Lunacid has a second game that is actually made with King's Field's making tool, Sword of Moonlight.

[formal mortar]

Neat

[vestal mantle]

On the negative side, having to hear babyshark on my speakers is pain

[formal mortar]

Have you played Baroque?

[vestal mantle]

I get the luxury of babysitting sometimes

[upper parcel]

No.

[tawny gorge]

give them 200 pills of melatonin each

[tawny gorge]

go play it you'll love it

[formal mortar]

It's like kingsfield/lunacid etc, but it's a roguelike, it stayed in Japan. Was made for the Saturn and I think the ps1

There is an English translation for it

[vestal mantle]

Thats the funny thing... When I babysit I can get the kids wore out easy... Last week took em to the park and staged a nerf battle with them

[formal mortar]

If you do play it, know it's a tough game

[tawny gorge]

how do you stage a nerf battle

do you like

not shoot?

[vestal mantle]

Easy... I give them nerf guns and tell them if they can shoot me I'll give them candy

[tawny gorge]

wtf

[upper parcel]

I played Shadow Tower: Abyss with a fan translation, that was pretty interesting. Tho guns can easily break the entire game with how strong they are, and it's not hard to keep buying ammo for them.

[tawny gorge]

how hard can that be

[upper parcel]

I need to play Echo Night 2 and Echo Night Beyond.

[vestal mantle]

Turns out kids like running forward and shooting nerf guns so all I gotta do is walk to the side

It took em 1h15m to finally hit me

[round mica]

how do we feel about the veterans sentry cosmetics for vet

i think they are amongst the best

[vestal mantle]

They are definitely edible

[nocturne flicker]

i'll teach those kids military tactics

get 'em in proper combat shape

they'll be staging nerf ambushes

[formal mortar]

Which ones are those?

[round mica]

the cadian set

quite literally

[fair bridge]

@orchid skiff just realized twinkle twinkle little star and the abcs use the same flow

[formal mortar]

Just saw they did hot fix for the plasma gunners

[round mica]

the famous green

[nocturne flicker]

i fw the new vfx and sfx for plasma gunners too

looks cool as hell

plasma gunners deserve to be cool

[vestal mantle]

Inb4 the animations are fixed but now they shoot three projectiles simultaneously

[nocturne flicker]

now if we could get those secrets of the machine god scab shooter buffs back...

[formal mortar]

Can't say I've seen the set

[nocturne flicker]

they're commissary ones iirc

unless they're the middle tree penance set?

[formal mortar]

I'm trying to look them up because the only sentry set i know of is the one you unlock

[round mica]

yes

[nocturne flicker]

i remember a commissary set called sentry something something, but the middle tree penance set (kraks, voc) also has cadian skins so

[round mica]

that is what i’m talking about

the sentry set you get from doing the pens

[nocturne flicker]

ah yeahyeahyeah that one. it's alright. a bit lazy, they're all like reskins of other stuff mixed and matched. would've preferred a proper cadian set

[round mica]

that chest piece is pretty unique

wym

[formal mortar]

Ah ok I know which set you mean now

[nocturne flicker]

not if memory serves. pretty sure they got it from another skin that was out before it

[formal mortar]

I don't like that the glove is missing

[nocturne flicker]

either way it's still a lazy as shit set for cadians

[round mica]

my only gripe with it

[round mica]

you’re just rife with hate today

[formal mortar]

And would like a pauldron for the left arm as well

[nocturne flicker]

that too. having that sorta thing be customisable would be nice, same as whether your goggles are up or down. there's a few skins that'd look better if the goggles were in the opposing position

[formal mortar]

Think it's odd the sword arm has a pauldron, and not the shield arm

[nocturne flicker]

you're more choosing to interpret our disagreements as hate. i have no malice, i'm just blunt

[round mica]

conform to my positivity or you will get the guillotine

[round mica]

i like the killshot set the best

[nocturne flicker]

no thanks i'm good. you all prefer my brutal honesty

[formal mortar]

Yeah killshot is great

My vet looks like a swashbuckler rn tho

[round mica]

you bought the pirate set?

[nocturne flicker]

guardsmen don't use shields, at least not yet. although if GW determines it'll make them big bucks there's a 50% chance they'll finally canonise the shield kitbashes

[formal mortar]

Shield arm i mean his left arm. Doesnt need to have a shield, but since when he shoots his gun, the left arm would be forward and in more danger

[nocturne flicker]

although you COULD justify giving vets shields on grendyl deciding to diversify the ex-military archetype with either naval breacher training

[round mica]

also i just wanna say, i find it so funny how most of the character presets for the men are so dread looking

you can tell these guys have seen some shit

[nocturne flicker]

naval breachers are more like arbitrators in terms of combat style, though

[formal mortar]

I don't mean as in them actually using shields. Just a term for whatever doesn't hold the sword

[nocturne flicker]

untrue, you're not accounting for his commissar

[formal mortar]

Yeah. I tried to make mine look like me

[round mica]

how well did that go

[formal mortar]

Pretty well

[nocturne flicker]

another game where i have to use the female template to make a femboy 😈

[formal mortar]

Age me about 30 years it's pretty spot on

[nocturne flicker]

it works out well enough though, since the fem rigging doesn't look too different from male

[round mica]

i make all my characters have a big ass mustache because i too have one

[formal mortar]

I have a big red beard and am bald

[somber stream]

My condolences

[formal mortar]

Condolences are unnecessary

[nocturne flicker]

oh i can't be made in darktide. too beautiful you see

[nocturne flicker]

IRL scout dwarf

[round mica]

i used to have a beard but i’ve gone back to my big stache days

[formal mortar]

I have a girlfriend, and she loves my bald head and red beard, as do others

[round mica]

in my early 20s i had a very large beard that went down to my chest

but it became too annoying to maintain

[formal mortar]

My beard used to go down to my waist

[nocturne flicker]

i'm in my mid 20s and i don't think that'd be POSSIBLE

[round mica]

hell yes

[round mica]

it’s all about those genetics

[formal mortar]

It's possible, mine was to my waist when I was 26

[nocturne flicker]

my beard at its longest while i was in like 12th grade, it eventually just started curling up into one of those roman emperor beards

italian genes

[somber stream]

Half Asian, no beard

[formal mortar]

Your hair has a predetermined length it's meant to stop at

So it grows fast to a point then slows down or stops

[round mica]

i’ve been rocking my fluffy stache and mullet for about 7 years now

[nocturne flicker]

can vouch for this. when i was in the army my asian squadmate used to pluck his handful of beard hairs with tweezers while everyone else had to shave

[formal mortar]

Well time for me to sleep. Eyes are tired

[somber stream]

Goodnight Sid

[round mica]

modern mullets are so much nicer than the old white trash ones you see in movies

[formal mortar]

Have a fun one all

[nocturne flicker]

goodnight mate. ttyl

[round mica]

goodnight friend

[nocturne flicker]

barbarian cuts

[round mica]

i thought because you’re german you’d have a beard with a curled mustache

[round mica]

imma look this up

[orchid skiff]

you learn a lot in college

[somber stream]

No wtf

[nocturne flicker]

bro lead diacetate is THE best wine sweetener

[nocturne flicker]

no i was saying mullets are for- ah, what the heck the results might be interesting

[round mica]

[nocturne flicker]

no it doesn't. i don't know the twinkle twinkle

therefore it can't possibly match the abcs

[round mica]

i’d never be caught with a mullet like from joe dirt

that’s too white trash

i may be southern but i ain’t deep in the pool

[nocturne flicker]

what's the difference?

[round mica]

mullets from that era are just lazy and not styled

modern ones are actually tapered

[nocturne flicker]

although some of the barbarians in my country love to get these mullets where they shave everything but the back of their heads? i don't even know what it's called but it was a trend in high school and they looked like idiots

[round mica]

and don’t have that rat tail on the back

real life skaven haircut

[nocturne flicker]

you would NOT take me alive trying to give me a haircut like this

i keep a switchblade on myself for the purpose of preventing this

[nocturne flicker]

cheesed to meet you?

[round mica]

aren’t those calls skull caps..

[fair bridge]

im pickin up on nolledge

[nocturne flicker]

i dunno but they drove me to naught but anger and hatred

[round mica]

you’re tell me these fools walked around with fully shaved head but the back of it was still full of hair?

[fair bridge]

i paid off half of my car yesterday and today i think im gonna treat myself to buying more games

[nocturne flicker]

yes it was a thing while i was in high school. i finished high school in like 2019

[round mica]

better yet, finish your ever growing backlog of games before buying new ones

[round mica]

sheesh

[fair bridge]

better yet, shut the hell up, dragon's dogma 2 is on sale RIGHT NOW

[round mica]

is that game ass apparently

or am i thinking of a different game

[fair bridge]

i don't have a problem playing backlog games. i have a problem with peak games constantly coming out

[round mica]

so DD2 is actually good?

[nocturne flicker]

i recently started playing fallout 4 again. logged on to me old goth chick level 280-something save and my laser rifle is just as beautiful as the day fallout 4 started crashing a shit ton for me randomly... but now it's running just fine again, no crashes whatsoever

[fair bridge]

i've heard great things but i'm gonna do more research before i commit

it's still $30

[nocturne flicker]

i know, i know. born in 2001. epic toddler

[fair bridge]

which is about my limit for buying games period

[round mica]

i’ve never touched a fallout game

[nocturne flicker]

i like them, although i do think bethesda took the series in a direction of poor storytelling and worldbuilding

[fair bridge]

amazing they're still selling stalker 2 for $42 and the game is still not finished

[nocturne flicker]

200+ years later after nuclear war and there's still unlooted convenience stores. no major factions on the east coast beyond recycled west coast ones

[round mica]

most games aren’t worth anything abode 40 so fair

[fair bridge]

40 is my absolute limit

never pay more than $40 for a video game

[nocturne flicker]

bethesda's number one issue with fallout is making the brotherhood a major faction in EVERY SINGLE ONE.

[fair bridge]

ever

[round mica]

well, unless it’s a fromsoft game

[nocturne flicker]

like give the angry techno-fetishists a goddamn break guys

[round mica]

i’ll dish out 60 bucks

[amber delta]

FO2 brotherhood being almost non existent

[nocturne flicker]

i'd still probably wait for a sale. unless my boyfriend was DESPERATE to play it with me like nightreign

[fair bridge]

i don't think there is any developer i trust with to do that with

[round mica]

i thought the show was interesting, only because i like walton goggins

[fair bridge]

or rather, publisher

since they're the ones that push these deadlines

[ancient violet]

The problem with Fallout is the following:

Bethesda
||MDNLTSCS||

[nocturne flicker]

walton and like two other actors carried the series. otherwise it's just bethesda's f-tier writing corrupting the west coast setting

[ancient violet]

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

[round mica]

i liked walton goggins in the movie hateful eight

[nocturne flicker]

emil pagliarulo- oh wait that's just bethesda's games in general

[nocturne flicker]

i like him in everything. phenomenal actor

[round mica]

indeed

i’m glad he’s finally getting some good recognization

[nocturne flicker]

the most INTERESTING sh*t emil EVER wrote is that his headcanon for fallout 4's male protag is that he was a big-time war criminal in the US annexation of Canada

bc it was his only idea that wasn't scrubbed so clean it couldn't offend a potato 😂

[ancient violet]

Everyone talks about Falling out

But what ever happened to Falling in? 😔

[fair bridge]

I wish Tarantino would make another western, even the part where Rick Dalton is acting in the spaghetti western in Once upon a time in Hollywood felt better than the actual movie

[ancient violet]

Nah no more Tarantino pls thx

[fading otter]

Django and Hateful eight are literally two of the best modern westerns

Idgaf if he likes feet lmao

[floral ermine]

more taragoatino pls

[ancient violet]

No that's not why

[round mica]

once upon a time in hollywood is amazing man

the scene with bruce lee fucking killed me

[nocturne flicker]

biggest L of the movie industry was forcing him to dim the lights for that one scene so the gore wasn't easy to see

[round mica]

i never really noticed that

[nocturne flicker]

the gore is part of the appeal to his films, so being forced to dial the gore down by dimming the lighting during editing is just an L all around. let my man CREATE

[ancient violet]

I mean

Forcing women to appeal to your fetish is 🥶

Like that actually made me feel sick you just unintentionally said that

[nocturne flicker]

thank you so much for hiring me for your video game character design, mr. kojima... but do we really have to scan my feet 10 times?

[ancient violet]

Truuuuuu

[fading otter]

Zero women have ever come out and spoken against him as far as I know🤷‍♂️in fact Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington said he was the most patient and understanding director they’ve worked with when filming the hard scenes

[nocturne flicker]

and no one hears a woooooord they say

[fading otter]

In Django

[ancient violet]

Ah yes

Speaking out against abusers

Works out great 👍

[fading otter]

Ignore the second half of my message where people said he was great to work with to further your weird hate boner, sure

[fair bridge]

he's a great director but don't glaze him too much man

[ancient violet]

Guys, if people don't complain about you it means you did nothing wrong

[fading otter]

I’m not? I’m just not giving him shit for some weird reason that people agreed to do in his movies

[fair bridge]

he was extremely close friends with harvey weinstein

[fading otter]

He doesn’t force shit

bro knew what was going on the whole time 💀

[ancient violet]

||“I want to publicly apologize to Samantha Geimer for my cavalier remarks on the Howard Stern Show speculating about her and the crime that was committed against her,” he wrote. “Fifteen years later, I realize how wrong I was. Ms Geimer WAS raped by Roman Polanski. When Howard brought up Polanski, I incorrectly played devil’s advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative. I didn’t take Ms Geimer’s feelings into consideration and for that I am truly sorry. So, Ms Geimer, I was ignorant, and insensitive, and above all, incorrect.”||

Wow what a great guy 😻

[fair bridge]

he was on coke for a long time too lmao

[nocturne flicker]

this is why you don't have heroes, kids

[ancient violet]

I swear he's like the borderline version of Epstein

But just for adult women so nobody cares 😈

[fair bridge]

i knew the mf was washed the minute i read about what he said about david lynch

[nocturne flicker]

tbh i keep out of what celebrities say big time. all i know is it'd take like keanu reeves being at a diddy party (impossible) to surprise me atp

[dapper trench]

wat?

[fair bridge]

i do listen to the video archive podcast with him on it though

i'm convinced he's still on coke

[fair bridge]

he saw fire walk with me and said that lynch "disappeared up his own ass"

[nocturne flicker]

my boyfriend's asleep and i have the urge to belly flop onto his nuts and crush them like a capri sun

[fair bridge]

which is hilarious because fire walk with me is one of lynch's more straightforward fucking movies he's ever made

[ancient violet]

I mean him being on coke is whatever compared to the things he's done and said

But then again, the funniest thing about him is that his fanbase are such cultists 💀

[fair bridge]

pluck his nuts off and dribble them like a basketball

[nocturne flicker]

that might be a bit too mean. he's a good boyfriend

[fair bridge]

i think most of his biggest fans don't watch a lot of film beyond the mainstream

[ancient violet]

Truuuuuu 👏💀

[nocturne flicker]

the best in my opinion 😤

[fair bridge]

i'm sending mine a screenshot of what you said

[nocturne flicker]

this is the case for like most fans of dudes with barely-concealed foot fetishes

[nocturne flicker]

the capri sun one? go crazy yeah

[dapper trench]

why yall talking about those pedos

[ancient violet]

Tarantino is very good at making movies that appeal to men with self esteem issues that's for sure 😈

[dapper trench]

Harvey and Jeffery

[nocturne flicker]

i do enjoy some of his films, although cristoph waltz is probably the best part of said films. superb actor

[ancient violet]

#general-chat message

[fair bridge]

i don't think most of his movies are meant to demonstrate any sort of way that men should be

[dapper trench]

yea im good

[ancient violet]

That's why they make soo much money 🤯

[nocturne flicker]

he's incredibly versatile and can switch up really believably if that makes sense

[fair bridge]

when you're appreciating art you have to make a decision as to whether or not you want to separate that art from the artist

[nocturne flicker]

tarantino could make a film of literal paint drying and as long as it has the occasional gore splatter ruining the paint, it'd make millions

[fading otter]

I didn’t say he’s done no wrong at any point, I literally only took issue with you accusing him of abusing actresses he works with in his movies when there’s literally not a scrap of evidence for it😂 bro has multiple long time collaborators who have worked with him for decades (like Zoe Bell) who have never said anything bad

[fair bridge]

like roman polanski's a fucking animal but he made chinatown

[ancient violet]

Guys did you know that abused victims don't have evidence??? 🤯

That's crazy wow

[nocturne flicker]

yeah there's no shortage of great art with insufferable artists

[fading otter]

Wow you’re insane if that’s what you got out of that message

Legitimately

[fair bridge]

except for jared leto. it's just shitty all the way through

[ancient violet]

Oof I'm being diagnosed on the internet guys, what am I going to do 😭

[fair bridge]

i think the only movie that got a decent performance out of him was blade runner 2049 lmao

[nocturne flicker]

nuh uh him getting domed with an axe in american psycho was kinda nice

[fair bridge]

i totally forgot that was his best work ever hoooooly shit

[round mica]

did they add orks finally

[round mica]

many accusations with no credible evidence, the way of 2025

there's so many cool little things to do

Just take the long super spiky stick and win

Literally the game😂

But very fun

makes me miss mordhau

i started playing chiv 2 again for the shits and giggles

[rare pulsar]

Yeah that weapon is so broken u literally dont have to upgrade after u get it😂

And thats why spears where the most prominent weapon in history.

[inner nimbus]

hell the AI used to be crazy with spears in this game

I've sort of discovered best way to deal with them is to walk on their left, cus that usually gives them less of an angle to stab you at

that being said I like playing almost all weapons except maces, I've yet to really pick them up

[tacit geode]

That shits the medieval nuclear bomb

Evil ass spear

luv me plancon

I like the twohanded swords the most and the 3rd tier or something

No armor just swords and maces

[inner nimbus]

yeah idk wtf I'm supposed to do with them

Use em with 2 hands

[inner nimbus]

like I can stick most of the other weapons in the general direction of the bad guy and they die but not this wtf

[fair bridge]

is it on VR???

[fair bridge]

if it is i'm gonna grab it, getting tired of blade and sorcery

[ancient violet]

Yooo spaghetti hello👏

[fierce cave]

Hello fih

[ancient violet]

You missed the shit flinging event here 😞

[inner nimbus]

it's not, at least afaik

it's a purely kb+m game

[spice drift]

how good you are as a ball tosser and it is easy on the smoked bridge by silo cluster

[inner nimbus]

if you want a new hack and slashy kinda game that isn't Blade and Sorcery, I'd recommend Gorn

[ancient violet]

I toss my balls all the time 😈

[pulsar rain]

Another game mechanic I'm a bit torn on is the:
The More Cool you look, the more Disrupt Enemies will aggro you to make you look like a tryhard when you Quickplay.

[Source: Personal Experience]

[spice drift]

turns your dreams into nightmares and nerfs your fav weapon into the ground

[ancient violet]

Impossible I always have nightmares 😈

[fair bridge]

my biggest issue with B&S is that the enemy AI kinda sucks. mods that make them "smarter" just make them attack faster. gorn is too arcadey for me

[spice drift]

silent trappers and super buffed plasma gunners

[fair bridge]

i do have a friend that plays half sword constantly

[cunning elk]

Question: do we know if and when the Scab Plasma Gunner will be added to the Meat Grinder?

[ancient violet]

If my dreams are worse than reality, I'm never surprised at life

[spice drift]

for free stabbing those suckers

[ocean widget]

Its a challenge apparently
The challenge is actually getting the fucker 40m away before dying

You either need luck or a private lobby

[blissful kiln]

download creature spawner mod if you're on pc

[ocean widget]

Same with the grenade without bouncing one

[spice drift]

you mean the vet one

[ocean widget]

I was talking about both

[spice drift]

yeah those are challanges both are well done on thr bridge where you need to defend cause evelator

it was in the Torrent was it silo cluster or?

[ocean widget]

Got the no bouncing one on that mission with the long drop at the start cus thats the quickest way to get it
Bridge works for the sniper one though as long as you ain't got one on your side

[ocean widget]

Might be the torrent cus its the one where you gotta scan bodies pretty sure

[blissful kiln]

vigil station?

[spice drift]

well i done already all class related penances beside 100 matches with arbiter

so i don'r need those anymore

[little marten]

Guys I called a guy trying to sell me something on the street ‘brother’ am I cool now?!

[blissful kiln]

sure, homie

[little marten]

My man 😺

Wait there was shit flinging?!?

[strong venture]

Well its been a problem since the games release but they finally at least acknowledged the servers issues

Thats more than i was expecting tbh

[long sigil]

dried mushroom with ramyeon is good

must try

[weak beacon]

Anything new with the hotfix thing?

[obtuse oak]

you're not unemployed? huh

[elder hare]

stability maybe

[fair bridge]

i get paid by fatshark under the table to ragebait players

got a raise because they said i've been extra good lately

[elder hare]

overpaid

[fair bridge]

it's a living

[obtuse oak]

#📢news-bulletin

[storm ember]

got yelled at for picking up a grimoir

i was mean to him until he left

[fair bridge]

good

[elder hare]

i dont get that lmao, why join a grim/script mission if youre gunna get butthurt for doing the objective

[storm ember]

quickplay guys cant stand quickplay for some reason, alas alas

[vocal hawk]

how do I do an auric maelstrom mission I just got to level 30

do I need to unlock the last difficulty level or sum

[obtuse oak]

yes

maelstrom are missions with extra difficulty mods, they show up on heresy and auric difficulty on the mission board

[storm ember]

if the difficulty meter's greyed out you gotta play more missions till you get to auric. Then Maelstrom is a mission option

[vocal hawk]

what the freak!!!

[obtuse oak]

so to beat an auric maelstrom you need to unlock auric

[vocal hawk]

will commissar dukane give me a kiss if I do

[obtuse oak]

no

she will spit in your mouth though

[vocal hawk]

🤤

[obtuse oak]

[storm ember]

she only kisses you if you reach havoc 40 and its a feather-light smooch on the cheek with clear contempt behind it

[thick coyote]

She won't even look at you

[fair bridge]

scored a sick jacket from the thrift store but the other one i wanted turned out to be a lady's jacket 😔

it was drippy

i was wondering why the sleeves were so short and it came with gloves

[vocal hawk]

wear it twin

[storm ember]

all clothing is unisex, fuck gender

[vocal hawk]

gender is a spectrum or whatever

[fair bridge]

the only reason i did not buy it is because the fellas will clown on me

plus the hood was massive

covered my tiny little head and my tiny little eyes

[blissful kiln]

it's a useless vestige of a system that does nothing but hurt the team

[fair bridge]

i did score another sick one though

it was $7

[obtuse oak]

coward

[tawny gorge]

arent you tall as fuck

makes sense you cant wear it

[vocal hawk]

what happens to grimoires when you die do they just disappear or do they appear somewhere else

[blissful kiln]

I wouldn't yell at someone for picking up a grim, but I'd be annoyed

[fair bridge]

only 6'2"

[tawny gorge]

stfu "only"

[elder hare]

expressionism is about how it makes you feel, if you're cowed by how others think you'll never be happy

[vocal hawk]

also do daemonhosts spawn on non grim missions or do they spawn outside of them

[fair bridge]

another satisfied customer. fatshark has deposited 500 aquilas into my account

[thick coyote]

They disappear

[elder hare]

rock that shit homeboy

[tawny gorge]

people's sense of style is all about how they wanna present themselves to others

[elder hare]

or how it makes you, yourself feel, when you see what youre wearing

fuck everyone else and how they think

[tawny gorge]

he's not a coward for not wanting to wear something that would make him feel uncomfortable

[obtuse oak]

not always

[elder hare]

the fuck they gunna do when they dont like what youre wearing, buy you a new wardrobe? Tell em to kiss your ass

[tawny gorge]

true but this is very much the case lol

[fair bridge]

it's not that deep!!! i wasn't fully committed to the look either way. the clown comment was merely a humorous retort. i do not care what people think of how i dress

[vocal hawk]

probably eat ypu

[elder hare]

tell em to start at the tip

[fair bridge]

i went out wearing my worn out fucked up panthers jersey i do not care

[vocal hawk]

yeouch

[fair bridge]

whenever i wear it other men tend to want to speak to me more. it's kind of like it provides a buff to masculine attention

[obtuse oak]

me neither, thats why i wear cargo pants and polos. certified dadfit. im angling to be comfy in this mf

[fair bridge]

some guy asked me how i feel about the panthers playing the cowboys and i told him i like baseball

[blissful kiln]

jeans are a scam btw

[elder hare]

bro im gunna grab some new balances this year to complete the circle

[blissful kiln]

break your chains

start wearing actually comfortable pants

[fair bridge]

jeans are a scam

i haven't worn them in years

[vocal hawk]

It’s ok just say the panthers suck

[obtuse oak]

i have worn jeans for so long that denim feels comfortable now

the firmness is reassuring

[fair bridge]

they suck bro 😔

[tawny gorge]

the who playing the what

[vocal hawk]

the cowboys suck but only slightly less than the panthers

[fair bridge]

american football

[tawny gorge]

what does this even mean

[tawny gorge]

ik but those are some goofy names

[elder hare]

Cowboys arent a team theyre a marketing label LMAO

[fair bridge]

panthers are like year 4 of a 20 year rebuild

[obtuse oak]

american sports teams always have goofy names

[fair bridge]

dallas (texas) cowboys and the carolina (north & south) panthers

[vocal hawk]

pantherball

[fair bridge]

moneyball sequel where the end of the movie is just marcus lattimore getting kicked in the nuts fifteen hundred times for 30 minutes

[tawny gorge]

nah basketball teams have goated names

[elder hare]

European Football teams aren't much better tbf, i mean Grasshopper Munich? Dundee?

[obtuse oak]

good thing european football teams have normal names like the barcelona football club "FC Barcelona". that FC stands for football club, that's how you know they play football. glad we got that cleared up, it almost got confusing

[fair bridge]

they do tbh

[vocal hawk]

boring name

[fair bridge]

yeah.....

[tawny gorge]

Juventus

[obtuse oak]

counterpoint: Ajax Amsterdam

[fair bridge]

green bay packers is a funny name

[vocal hawk]

go birds

[fair bridge]

philly baby 🗣️

[shell goblet]

honestly i think one american football team should just name themselves The Slurs at this point :3 best way to appease everyone who keeps getting mad about their team name getting changed to something more appropriate with the times. give em all one good team to root for

[tawny gorge]

where, where are they going

[elder hare]

Real Madrid, damn i wanna join the Fake Madrid

[obtuse oak]

goated logo. is your football club emblem a greek hoplite? no? then fuck off.

[fair bridge]

kinda based ngl

[elder hare]

they are the outlier

[vocal hawk]

away ☹️

[fair bridge]

bye bye oakland A's

[tawny gorge]

straight abuse of the fact he works for tencent

posting stuff

[fair bridge]

they're changing their name to the oakland aces or something when they move

[obtuse oak]

In this case "Real" is Spanish for royal

[tawny gorge]

oakland aces is cool though

[vocal hawk]

sell the team

[fair bridge]

dismantle the team and kill billy beane

[vocal hawk]

shoot john fisher with a gun

[obtuse oak]

Unfortunately the team sucks rn but at least the branding is dope

[vocal hawk]

that’s the third time an oakland team has moved to las vegas

oakland is THE sellout city

[tawny gorge]

is advanced rugby even good

never watched a game start to finish

[fair bridge]

there was this really funny SCP i found that is just an alternate reality where baseball is this ultraviolent sport where all superstitions are real, there's a team full of ghosts and one full of murder robots, and the commissioner of the MLB has a death stare that kills people

i cannot remember which one it was

[shell goblet]

they hit each other pretty good

[tawny gorge]

isnt this just inazuma eleven

[elder hare]

Ah yes, the minor leagues

[vocal hawk]

I prefer major league snooker

[tawny gorge]

baseball has one of the best gambling anime and manga ever made though

one outs

[fair bridge]

dunno what that is. i have only read to kill a mockingbird, sports illustrated march 2006, and half of the manual for my rice cooker

[vocal hawk]

yes it’s very popular in east asia

[tawny gorge]

you from there?

[vocal hawk]

no

[tawny gorge]

i only watched and read it never interacted with the fanbase

its amazing though

[shell goblet]

what a range

[fair bridge]

i'm very erudite

[vocal hawk]

there’s a lot of japanese and korean ball players in the league though

[fair bridge]

shoei ohtani is one of the highest profile MLB players in the league right now

plays for the dodgers

he's one of the best players of all time

[ocean widget]

what people in diamond city think was pre-war baseball

[tawny gorge]

wouldnt know that i dont fw baseball i only watched it for the premise

[fair bridge]

thanks for reminding me about that dumbass game

[vocal hawk]

I only watch it to look at all the player’s fat asses

[fair bridge]

same bro

[ocean widget]

no worries

[vocal hawk]

they should make a new fallout game

[fair bridge]

mike trout's packing at least 28 pounds of ass

[vocal hawk]

76 is boring

[fair bridge]

fallout london came out

[tawny gorge]

let the series die

[fair bridge]

heard it's good

[tawny gorge]

theres no one willing to make a good fallout

[vocal hawk]

literally had a show about it and there’s a new season

[tawny gorge]

let elder scrolls die too

i dont trust modern bethesda

[fair bridge]

in fact we should kill todd howard

[weak beacon]

Womp womp

[ocean widget]

i havent touched it
cant be fucked given the installer requiring steam access

[vocal hawk]

I can’t wait to see the Caesar’s legion femboys on the big screen

[tawny gorge]

the show has likable charachter moments but damn does it fucking suck as a fallout show

[ocean widget]

after ES6 its defo gonna die

[tender horizon]

I don't understand why Bethesda can't just make the base game far harbor quality

[fair bridge]

it's fascinating watching todd go from a true blue game developer to a soulless businessman

[tawny gorge]

why would the legion still exist post new vegas

[tender horizon]

Cause far harbor is like, legit good

[vocal hawk]

they own like colorado and stuff

[fair bridge]

they own a lot of the midwest

[ocean widget]

the legion i believe has been integrated into the BOS from what ive seen

[tawny gorge]

i agree but it's still not as good as 1 and 2 and new vegas

[ocean widget]

granted given the likely collapse of the legion after caesars inevitable demise

[fair bridge]

except the divide because ig no one wants that

[tender horizon]

For the most part, yeah, but FH is still leagues above base game Fo4

[tawny gorge]

they would become a shit ton smaller in any of the endings that they dont win

[fair bridge]

well time to go poop in the shower again and blame the neighbors when my boyfriend comes home

[ocean widget]

they straight up collapse though because they get legate lanius as a leader when caesar dies

[tawny gorge]

it would make no senso for them to still have enough power to put up a fight

yeah

wait

he's alive in canon?

i kill him

[ocean widget]

i dont believe so

but when caesar dies legate lanius becomes the leader

i dont know who would lead after lanius

likely tho they'd split apart

the only time caesar doesnt die is in a legion victory due to the courier helping him with the tumor

[tawny gorge]

the whole talk your way out of things doesnt work for me when youre doing it with a fascist

[ocean widget]

yeah
not exactly much of a talk though tbf

[vocal hawk]

can’t believe they made an entire DLC in modern day Pittsburgh for fallout 3

[ocean widget]

more a "piss off or i will obliterate you"

[tawny gorge]

obsidian should have given you a "okay you talked but you still have to fight him" thing like they did with frank

[ocean widget]

they should've done a lot of things that never happened due to time and console restrictions unfortunately

[tawny gorge]

i dont think they would have done this regardless

[ocean widget]

maybe
legate lanius is still roughly in the same ballpark of belief that frank was

[tender horizon]

Very few beings in fallout can compare to frank

Id say none tbh

[ocean widget]

strength wise no
belief wise though

[tawny gorge]

we also genuinely dont know if the game would be better or worse with the added content
because
A: it would look different than the "cut stuff" we see
B: we only experienced the product we got and
C: it would never have been finished

[ocean widget]

they've both had a good amount of shit just stuffed into their heads

[tawny gorge]

Fallout 2 is also "unfinished"

the fallout bible is huge

[ocean widget]

yup
a shame but oh well
an extra year and no PS3 restrictions and it might've been better might've been worse
shame we'll never find out

[tawny gorge]

nah because he's willing to talk to you

Frank does not give a fuck

[ocean widget]

yeah fair

[tawny gorge]

nothing in the world would have gotten the chosen one to change his mind

[ocean widget]

thats why i said roughly tho

[limber turtle]

Audio feeling better post patch for yall?

[tawny gorge]

but its not even close though

[ocean widget]

notice the word roughly

[tawny gorge]

one is willing and will actually agree with you

the other one tells you fuck off and fight

[split mauve]

plasma gunner?

[thick fog]

#darktide-pics-vids message

[ocean widget]

still gotta love how the new US government pulls a US government though

NCR keeps you on as a merc instead of an official soldier

[tawny gorge]

you can be a general in vault city though

[limber turtle]

Thank you! Hopefully the general sound mix is better as well. I've been missing a lot of cues lately.

[ocean widget]

really?
couldnt be fucked with that shithole tbf

[thick fog]

Voicelines probably still too silent

But at least the plasma shots are more clear this time

[tawny gorge]

ideas that would make sense to be replicated but bethesda writers couldnt be arsed to do anything with

istg

emil paglili

did not play the games

he played them through wikipedia

[tawny gorge]

its one of the most interesting parts of 2 imo

[narrow ledge]

this game needs some content man

[tawny gorge]

how many hours you have on it?

[ocean widget]

ah nice
was not a fan of dealing with them more than i had to for obvious reasons
rocking up to them with low intelligence is funny as fuck though

[narrow ledge]

550

im sick of fighing the same looking enemies we need a new faction to kill that has all new looking hordes and elites and shit and new maps

[tawny gorge]

so

[ocean widget]

[tawny gorge]

you play a game for 550 hours

right

[ocean widget]

go play a ubislop game mate

[tawny gorge]

and then

actually i dont think i'll even keep the bit up

[narrow ledge]

someone is mad

[tawny gorge]

she's bri ish

their kind is always mad

[ocean widget]

nah im laughing about the fact you complain after spending 550 hours on a game

[tawny gorge]

just write bo o o wa er

[ocean widget]

like genuinely holy shit
you spend 550 hours on a game and you complain about the lack of content

i wonder why

[narrow ledge]

people have thousands in this and even more in vt2

vt2 still clears this game in variety

[ocean widget]

i dont see them making unreasonable complaints right now

[tawny gorge]

and remind them that at any time someone with a 20inch long katana they kept in their pants can run full speed any second and end their life

[ocean widget]

its almost like VT2s been released for a longer time

[limber turtle]

2k hours and im happy with the plasma gunner. Would have liked the radio operator added with maybe a reduction in director specialist spawns.

[tawny gorge]

such is the life of the bri ish samurai

[weak beacon]

I think fighting poxwalkers is cool they’re like zombies but not really:)

[narrow ledge]

asking for more content isnt unreasonable youre a muppet

[tawny gorge]

||true||

[blissful kiln]

well

[ocean widget]

nah katanas are banned
just dont expect the police to do shit

[blissful kiln]

Havoc is getting new modifiers, Mortis got a new map, we have a whole new class now

[tawny gorge]

||true but you have 500 hours in it ||

[blissful kiln]

Auric got injected with some havoc modifiers and generally feels different

[tawny gorge]

thats why they keep them in their pants

[ocean widget]

my guy you admitted to have 550 hours ingame

[tawny gorge]

bri ish stealth perk

[blissful kiln]

we get frequent limited time events

I can't say DT is not getting anything

one new enemy too

[narrow ledge]

i dont even have every weapon leveled im not havoc 40 i dont have max penance score, im far from a maxed account and im already bored of the hordes and elites and maps

[tawny gorge]

darktide is better than Space Marine 2 content wise

[ocean widget]

that seems like a you issue then NGL

[narrow ledge]

the events add a portrait lol

[weak beacon]

I love slop marine 2 🤤

[ocean widget]

have you heard of taking breaks keegan

[narrow ledge]

combat is bad

[limber turtle]

People are so acclimated to the battle pass grind they confuse a bar filling up and cosmetic nonsense for content.

[tawny gorge]

its not slop in any sense of the word

[blissful kiln]

the events add events

[tawny gorge]

[blissful kiln]

who cares about the rewards

[weak beacon]

It’s satire I really like the game unironically

[lapis spear]

The explodey event was pretty fun

[limber turtle]

Play the game for the game. Not artifical progress.

[narrow ledge]

are you dumb? 500 hours over 3yrs ive taken many breaks this isnt my main game and i work full time

[lilac crag]

I don't dislike sm2 because of its content I dislike sm2 because of prestige and endgame balance

[tawny gorge]

cosmetic nonsense is content lmfao

[ocean widget]

sounds like a you issue then

[tawny gorge]

you dislike it because it encorages replayability?

[narrow ledge]

ok cry more

[tawny gorge]

the prestige system is great

[ocean widget]

wasnt crying in the first place sorry lad

[limber turtle]

This is the problem

[weary drum]

Dweebs the lot of you >:)

[weak beacon]

I actually have more hours on sm2 than darktide

[tawny gorge]

its not great only if you decide to go straight in absolute after prestiging

[tawny gorge]

same

[ocean widget]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-harvey-family-feud-kill-steve-harvey-kill-family-feud-kill-gif-21764693

[narrow ledge]

right but achieving something is fun, its not a sandbox game

[narrow ledge]

tru

[tawny gorge]

darktide doesnt do cosmetics for content though

[narrow ledge]

fuck no baby

[lilac crag]

it's not replayability if I have to spend hours on hours using half-made builds because my build is not gonna be complete until I'm IV 25

[narrow ledge]

yes they do

for paid

[lilac crag]

it's annoying is what it is

[narrow ledge]

[lilac crag]

especially on classes that desperately want IV prestige

[weak beacon]

Fuck yes actually

[lilac crag]

like Assault

[narrow ledge]

assault is so fucking bad

[tawny gorge]

i actually have assault at max prestige

not its not

[lilac crag]

As do I

yes it is

[narrow ledge]

main melee class was the weakest at melee for like 3 months

[tawny gorge]

how long do you lurk

[narrow ledge]

i quit the game after that, tried getting back into it but wasnt feeling it

[weak beacon]

He’s actually really good now

[narrow ledge]

i hate how much they froce gun strike into the assault build

[lilac crag]

I just looked here maybe 4 minutes ago

[narrow ledge]

and the melee combat is way flatter than dt/vt

[tawny gorge]

?

[weak beacon]

Guh?

[tawny gorge]

this complaint is weird

[lilac crag]

I can't agree with that

[tawny gorge]

the melee combat functions entirely differently

and its objectively less flat

[narrow ledge]

yes and its worse

[tender horizon]

I dislike sm2 cause of parry+gunstrike gameplay loop tbh

[narrow ledge]

gunstrike is lame

[limber turtle]

Was just typing that.

[weak beacon]

Fair

[narrow ledge]

then u press execute

boring

[lilac crag]

Use block weapons bruh

they're marginally more fun and effective

[weak beacon]

I use balance

[narrow ledge]

nope im paying assault i want to swing my hammer

[fair bridge]

this new facial cream hurts :(

[tender horizon]

Imma be deadass with you after I beat that game on Angel of Death I had zero functional desire to partake in more of the pve so I went to pvp and realized the pvp in its entirety felt half baked.

[tawny gorge]

nah

[narrow ledge]

and not to mention the hammer was comically worse than chainsword for like 3 months of the game

[tawny gorge]

chaos needs more content

sooo bad

the free skins they gave us for chaos are better than the season pass content

[tender horizon]

Not even chaos, idk how but they made the pvp feel overall worse than SM1 while retaining a lot of SM1s issues

[narrow ledge]

real

[drifting dragon]

I cant log in since 1.9.3. Any fix ?

[limber turtle]

Say what you want about darktides systems but the body mass/melee slots makes the game feel better than other games that occupy the same genre space.

[wary flint]

whats currently considered the best class/loadout in terms of fighting captain-type enemies?

[narrow ledge]

best melee combat in the industry with some of the worst map design, i cant wait for a vt2 remake or vt3

[tender horizon]

Did they ever fix the thing with sm1 pvp where you could just trap people in spawn

[limber turtle]

Zealot

[fair bridge]

compared the vt2 the maps have been lacking bigly

[drifting dragon]

Thunder Hammer Shroudfield Zealot to one tap them when the shield is down

[narrow ledge]

VASTLY

[fair bridge]

LARGLY

[narrow ledge]

they are boring mixed and matched bs '

they have gotten better tho

[limber turtle]

BIGLY

[fair bridge]

i already said bigly man

[narrow ledge]

the last 3 are ok but the first 9 are fucking horrid

[fair bridge]

keep up

[tawny gorge]

they should make a mega open map

[fair bridge]

i talked about this before here but what i miss are how open and diverse vt2's maps felt

[narrow ledge]

at 500 hours and i cant tell the maps apart until i see the main room/objective

[tawny gorge]

the game takes place in a hive city

[narrow ledge]

stfu

[tawny gorge]

lol

[narrow ledge]

ive heard that 100 times before

idc

figure it out

[tawny gorge]

you cant please warhammer fans

[narrow ledge]

im not the dev they are

[dapper mantle]

Is VT2 harder than DT?

[fair bridge]

righteous stand for example starts you on street level and you eventually end up atop this massive fortress that you see when you start

[obtuse oak]

You're just not autistic enough for 40k

[fair bridge]

i'd love to have something like that

[narrow ledge]

vt2 made me a warhammer fan i wasnt one b4

[blissful kiln]

real and true

[tawny gorge]

you give them lore accuracy they cry if its innacurate they cry

[obtuse oak]

I can identify most maps by a screenshot of a dimly lit corridor

[narrow ledge]

it being a hive city dosent excuse the shitty varity for 9/12 or however many maps

[limber turtle]

I didnt start separating maps until 1k or so hours

[tawny gorge]

that's because youre payed by tencent to know this

[fair bridge]

it depends. vt2 doesn't have the same ranged components that darktide does, so it's simpler, but it's not necessarily easier

[blissful kiln]

it's much more lethal
you take 3 hits from the most basic bitch mob and your health is gone

[tawny gorge]

vt2's ranged combat is azz i play it for the melee

[fair bridge]

clearly you do not own a bounty hunter

[blissful kiln]

in DT that mob takes 3x time to swing and does damage that you regenerate back in 0.1s

[hard crane]

you can and will be murdered by your teammate ranged attacks

[narrow ledge]

i WISH vt2 had the melee and gun combat 2.0 that DT has id still be playing that TBH

[tawny gorge]

im saying its ass to play i dont like it

[fair bridge]

when they added kerillian's spear i was so excited

[narrow ledge]

cant wait for the new weapon pack

ill buy it day 1

[obtuse oak]

I think it does. We've got a hab block, a transit hub, a midspire administrative area, the literal sewers, a starport full of sand. That's pretty diverse. Are they all grimy and industrial? Yes. Is that fitting for the setting? Also yes

[tawny gorge]

keegan this isnt reddit

stop upvoting and downvoting stuff lol

[narrow ledge]

off my meet

[tawny gorge]

you think the fact the game taking place in a hive city affects the way it looks?

[fair bridge]

i think what would help the map variety is offering different color grading or something

[shy sandal]

Vermintide also felt more slow, so you couldn't just run away from a horde you had to fight it

[tawny gorge]

sure

you do realise hive cities arent built to look pretty right?

they have a job and they do it well

[narrow ledge]

then i guess its not for me but im am far from the only one who thinks the variety is ass, like i said the new maps we have gotten have been great

[blissful kiln]

well, it depends on the career

[obtuse oak]

Bold statement, I know

[tawny gorge]

no they fucking don't

[fair bridge]

i saw some guy's shitty reshade on nexus and it makes me want to try and make a reshade preset that actually offers different color grades for different maps

i wonder if that's possible

[ocean widget]

i mean
it stores people

[narrow ledge]

just bcus there is no sprint dosent mean its slow

[ocean widget]

i can confirm there are a lot of people on atoma

[limber turtle]

The art direction in this game is amazing. Play lower difficulty and take in some of what is going on.

[fair bridge]

i love the way the game looks

[shy sandal]

Tbf i main kruber so i might be spreading misinformation

[fair bridge]

i just wish different parts of the city had more variety is all

[narrow ledge]

and at the same time alot of it is copy paste metal and pipe walled room with boxes

[uneven ermine]

I main Gorrekson

[obtuse oak]

Yeah it's a common enough sentiment, but I've never really understood it. If you actually look around then the diegetic storytelling of the Torrent environments with its shantytowns trying to fish food out of the sewers is very different from the manufactorium with literal leman russ tank parts being transported overhead

[tender horizon]

The only 40k game I think genuinely looks better than DT is Deathwing tbh

[uneven ermine]

I break iron

[tawny gorge]

yeah but it sucks the tau get in and make them habitable all the time

[limber turtle]

This comment does not spark joy.

[uneven ermine]

I outcast engineer

It’s a simple life

[shy sandal]

When you go back to it from dt, it feels pretty slow though

[obtuse oak]

But because they're all industrial, grimy, and indoors, people suddenly lose the ability to tell the difference?

[fair bridge]

honestly i think all that needs to change is color and that'd be a huge start

[obtuse oak]

No colour allowed

[fair bridge]

why

[uneven ermine]

Needs for grim and more dark

Not enough needless death

[limber turtle]

This isnt fortnite

[uneven ermine]

What am I playing Star Trek?

[tawny gorge]

space marine 2 looks amazing

but i agree

[obtuse oak]

This is 40k bitch take yo sensitive colour wheel ass back to whf

[tawny gorge]

deathwing is amazing

[blissful kiln]

GK can be pretty quick.
35% movement speed on Blessed Blade

[fair bridge]

it's interesting that i know at least one of you is completely serious

[uneven ermine]

There isn’t enough gramdank

[narrow ledge]

like u said Its ALL that, unlike vt2 how they are almost all drastically different it feels samey and boring after a while and they all mesh together which is why i cant tell them apart till i get to the main rooms sometimes

[tawny gorge]

bring back Space Hulk

[tender horizon]

It doesnt achieve the level of "i can read every individual word on these purity seals" like Deathwing does but yeah

[hard crane]

5% speed on necklace go brrr

[narrow ledge]

i wisht that game wasnt dead id play it

[tender horizon]

Like the environments of Deathwing are fuckin nuts

[fair bridge]

it's not even a 40k thing honestly, a lot of games are having this issue lately

[obtuse oak]

I just don't relate, I think they look sufficiently distinct and I have no trouble telling apart which map I'm on at any given time

[fair bridge]

well you also love 40k

[obtuse oak]

Yes

[narrow ledge]

you proabbly ahve tripple my hours

[fair bridge]

obsessively so

[narrow ledge]

all of my buddies say the same

alot of people ive talked to in game and here say the same

[blissful kiln]

Darktide is absolutely constrained by the setting of one hive city

[narrow ledge]

so at what point is it our fault or the games

[limber turtle]

All of my buddies say the opposite.

[blissful kiln]

only so many variations of "industrial shithole" you can do

[shy sandal]

Grail Knight is a nice class. Makes you be strong with a decent tradeoff of being incapable of ranged, the best way to deal with specials

[obtuse oak]

They are getting more creative with it though

[tender horizon]

Im still waiting for the second hive city dialogue keeps mentioning

[narrow ledge]

FINALLY

[blissful kiln]

they are doing their best

[obtuse oak]

Gloriana has amazingly vast backdrops

[limber turtle]

We had a snow map added too

[blissful kiln]

the train mission is cool

[narrow ledge]

the first 9 are all industrial shithole

[uneven ermine]

Well there is more in the hive city they just need to give us more of it (the city streets upspire enclaves baross)

There is a lot of the tunnels I think we need more city

[fair bridge]

gloriana is very distinct

[uneven ermine]

We have enough hive

[narrow ledge]

and fucking GENE STEALERS

[fair bridge]

i wish the older maps had that!!

[tender horizon]

Id really like GSC tbh

[obtuse oak]

Here's the thing, aside from Gloriana having snow and bigger emptier backdrops, it doesn't really look that much different. Hourglass maps have clear skies and sand, how is that not just as different?

[blissful kiln]

Gloriana is different because it has snow, The sand maps have sand, the train has the train
the rest are kinda all the same to me xdd

[fair bridge]

i don't think the names helped much either

[uneven ermine]

Now give isnt bad I love 40k and it’s aesthetics

But I do love seeing higher up the spire of the city

[limber turtle]

I wish gloriana had a second map layout like the older maps. I want to explore it more and avoid the hell that is spawn area.

[fair bridge]

idk darktide's got a lot of weird problems

[obtuse oak]

The torrent is constantly wet, the manufactorium maps are all reddish and full of equipment, troneside is gilded and gothic

[uneven ermine]

It helps sell the vision of gilded gates built on a foundation of blood and bone

[tawny gorge]

deathwing also doesnt have a fully modeled emperor class titan as a setpiece though

[blissful kiln]

I remember parts of the missions, like the final arena with the turrets on that one map, or the refinery finale

[obtuse oak]

They're just as different!!! I don't get it really

[tawny gorge]

that is apparently too big

[narrow ledge]

want more outdoor maps like the desert one

[fair bridge]

i'm gonna tinker with reshade

[narrow ledge]

AND SNOW ONE

[tawny gorge]

because gw keeps trying to make the titans make sense

[dapper mantle]

I don't think there is a clear cut line obviously. DT visuals are not above criticism. I still think they did the best they could.
I wish there are more brightly lit areas though. Like the carnival district is great, the industrial melter with all the fire is great.
Darktide is a pretty game, it's just... too dark lmao

[tender horizon]

I don't find the titan as impressive tbh

[obtuse oak]

GW are a bunch of babies for making the titans so small

[limber turtle]

Brighttide sounds wrong

[uneven ermine]

Bring back Abominatus

[blissful kiln]

But man, just the three recent elven maps in Vt2 mog DT maps no diff

[uneven ermine]

Titans are titans

Let them scrape the stars in their glory

It’s a goddamn titan

[dapper mantle]

titans smaller than real life Statue of Liberty kek

[tawny gorge]

they have to if they want to attempt realism, the issue is that mechs make no sense on futuristic battlefields

[dapper mantle]

gee dub can't do numbers, I think that much is clear as day

[shy sandal]

I remember the Space Marine statues, the sewers, the red lighting part where you gotta go through an indistrial maze, the giant bridge where you gotta fend off against an assault....that's about it

[tawny gorge]

everyday people cry when they find out that the tau can easily one shot titans

[obtuse oak]

Stop attempting realism in my gothic pulp camp!!! Augh

[uneven ermine]

There smaller titans for a reason like the war hound and reaver

[fair bridge]

samsung 990 evo plus 1tb for $60 omg

[uneven ermine]

Let the empirical class be wacky and big

[tender horizon]

Tbh I think the imperial answer to tau is funnier than the tau answer to imperials

[tawny gorge]

they still wouldnt make sense lol they're there out of rule of cool which is fine

[obtuse oak]

Titans being entirely improbable and impractical walking cathedrals with unbelievable massive guns is the whole appeal

[dapper mantle]

that's a great deal lol
you building a PC?

[tawny gorge]

but stop making them less cool

[uneven ermine]

Yes

I mean look at any of the art

[dapper mantle]

also Darktide PC performance is such a travesty ngl
idk how the consoles manage to make it work

[fair bridge]

i am upgrading my storage and transitioning my stolen media to a NAS

[uneven ermine]

Look at The progenitor Titan

Look at abominatus

Big and dumb

Is the appeal

[tawny gorge]

the rapper?

[uneven ermine]

I like your name

[dapper mantle]

yeah that's a sick deal. if I have any need for storage I would get it

[obtuse oak]

Space marine chapters should be 100k strong, Guardsman regiments should be millions of soldiers

Anything less for a galactic setting is just dinky

[uneven ermine]

Anyway gotta go

[tender horizon]

Tbf SM Chapters explicitly arent that large cause of The Heresy

[obtuse oak]

The legions should have numbered millions

[tawny gorge]

logistical nightmare:

[dapper mantle]

for real approx 1 million SMs TOTAL for the entire galaxy is just ludicrously low

[obtuse oak]

That's what the 15km long ships with 50k crew members are for

[tender horizon]

Don't think the attrition rates ever would've let that happen

[tawny gorge]

the most popular book series here is the horus orthodoxy

[dapper mantle]

Rowboat Girlyman can't do numbers either because the book writers can't do numbers.

[blissful kiln]

Titans just cross the line for me for being too stupid and impractical even for 40k

But then again - 40k is anime and anime loves its giant mecha

[obtuse oak]

Basically GW made a giant setting and then filled it with planets with trillions of citizens and somehow their super plot important elite fighting force only numbers 1 million dudes spread across 1000 tiny organisations

[tawny gorge]

yes

[lilac crag]

guilleman is worth at least 40k hammers

[tender horizon]

just ignore the numbers ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tawny gorge]

no

he uses a sword

[tender horizon]

Or find justifications for them

They are what they are tho
