COD’s asking price of 70$ and then having micro transactions like that is just whew
It’s also hilarious how there’s no cohesive aesthetic (while it works for Fortnite cuz it’s more cartoony ig) anymore
Idk I’m dumb
crisp heath
I know going into fortnite I'm walking into an lsd laced fever dream where Eminem is doing the macarena and Doomguy is juggling fruit, meanwhile a disco party is happening between 8 different franchises of anime all while aliens fart in the background. I know this jumping into it. But I also grew up with Cod. And I've watched it slowly devolve from its beginnings of being a dope military campaign and multi-player, adding zombies which was amazing, to completely selling out to the PC culture and kids. The soul of it's completely switched.
Somewhere between ghosts and infinity war, or maybe a bit after, Cod gave up on trying to do anything different. The fan base was to fickle for it. So each games been a carbon copy of the last, and each time they sell out more and more

Lore question. I'm sure most if not all of you should have seen this now.... I want to draw your attention to a specific phrase. It says he's a Rotting Carcass(very true) writhing invisibly with "power from the Dark Age of Tech." Now... I've heard theories that perhaps the Emperor is a Man of Gold? Is this where that comes from? I mean.... it is the intro GW gives out, right? That's got to give what it says some merit....
I don't believe the theory... just saying I've heard it and am curious about it
green loom
It means the astronomicon/golden throne
crisp heath
Is that what it's talking about...? I wasn't sure...
Because it mentions the Golden Throne by name prior
green loom
Well it says "writhing", so causing him pain
So I don't think it'd be his own power in this case
And also we know what happened to Malcador when he got on it
storm jungle
We basically got no idea what the Men of Stone or Men of Gold are atm
because they are OOOOLD from a short story too
crisp heath
Right I know that much@storm jungle I was just curious if this was where that idea or theory came from?
green loom
Probably
crisp heath
Or if there was anything else
green loom
I mean also emps being an unexplained omega super psyker that just exists

queen laurel
I mean also emps being an unexplained omega super psyker that just *exists*
Someone of the same level of psychic ability can be born right?
storm jungle
Right I know that much<@166943308231344128> I was just curious if this was where...
They got no connection with Big E, someone probably just went "Well the Emperor wears gold, and these guys got gold in their name :)"
green loom
Someone of the same level of psychic ability can be born right?
Yeah
And I mean
We know he's not
We know where we was born and all the perpetuals know him from way back
Shit we know he was Alexander
So it's unlikely he'd be from that timeframe
crisp heath
I always went with the idea the last floating old one did some fuckery back in ancient ancient times, and it was a mix of that and the shaman story. Somehow someway it either amped them up psychically or did the merging himself. Then it later got destroyed by slanesh right after her birth and turned into floating eldritch orbs.
@queen laurel @green loom actually I disagree. No. No human being could be "born" with the Emperor's might. No story at all allows for his natural conception.
He was made somehow by something
green loom
I mean, it could just happen because the writers want it 
storm jungle
Yeah this is something to always remember
anything will happen in 40k when the writers want it
crisp heath
That's true, but even the writers haven't written anything like that
Every story has some ritual or something external
storm jungle
Yeah like
the Primaris literally came from fucking nowhere
"Where were they this whole time?"
"Idk under mars"
"BRILLIANT"
green loom
Also on a serious note
storm jungle
Its pretty cheap but it is how it is
crisp heath
True. But they have written legends about the Emperor's "birth" and none show him being naturally born
storm jungle
That we dont know is the thing
crisp heath
That's what I'm getting at...
storm jungle
the Emperor has been shown to be a big liar
dusk patrol
We have no idea of his origin
storm jungle
We kinda do
dusk patrol
And he never told anyone clearly
green loom
Emps by the GC would probably have been able to solo the entire unification wars
So it's potentially a thing related to Molech
storm jungle
Malcador's account is the most solid one as per the End and the Death where he's apparently almost as old as a fucking caveman somehow.
its very stupid
lmao
green loom
Yeah
storm jungle
It also mentions him painting on walls but my history is shit idk how many civilizations post-cavemen actually di dthat
Hittites were pretty civilized beyond that too i think
dusk patrol
Malcadors only been alive 6,000 years roughly anyways
crisp heath
I mean he's space Sigmar and Sigmar was literally a caveman in all but timescale
storm jungle
yeah and hes also the Emperor's closest confidant
theres no reason to really lie to him
crisp heath
I know we don't know... but humans have never even come close since... he happened at a time humans were basically psychically inert. All things in all, no. I dont believe any human could approach his power levels naturally
dusk patrol
Oll is the only one we know who was before the Emperor
storm jungle
Yeah but Oll is dumb
"I fought in the Gulf War"
cool

Basically all faction leads in 40k are OC donut steal goofiness
storm jungle
Ehhh kinda
dusk patrol
Vect literally never loses
dusk patrol
The Emperor has at least lost
storm jungle
the Emperor literally just has magic powers
dusk patrol
Yeah because he uses his brain and tech
Ok and?
storm jungle
Ok and?
Compared to the Emperor who can literally rewrite fucking reality
you cannot compare these two
dusk patrol
I can because the point is Vect has never lost, he always has his just as planned goofy convulted plans and it always works out, that’s just kinda the setting
storm jungle
Those are way few and far between.
crisp heath
Vect is the archetypal madlad
storm jungle
compared to the Emperor whos Miracle Puking every time
dusk patrol
Like yeah he wins cause “brains and tech” cause he’s writtten to always win
dusk patrol
Vect basically just does magic half the time too
storm jungle
Again its not a good comparison
Calgar cannot die either
yada yada
the Emperor is a lot more egregious
dense salmon
just now joining, what is the comparison being made between vect and emperor?
crisp heath
I just love the Emperor being giant sweaty magic man who was secretly a twink but it doesn't matter because now he's a comatose flashlight
dusk patrol
I’d say he’s way less since he failed hard and has suffered for it
storm jungle
just now joining, what is the comparison being made between vect and emperor?
"Basically all faction leads in 40k are OC donut steal goofiness"
Im just saying the Emperor is way worse
hes just a super-powered wizard who can just do anything he wants
but acts like a dumbass when the plot requires it
dense salmon
if we're talking in terms of scale?
emperor is literally the driving force behind the entire plot of the universe
storm jungle
Thank you yes lmao
Hes just a protagonist shared between the bed of every 40k writer that does HH
dusk patrol
And Vect is a super powerful mastermind who just wins every time cause he just as planned harder like that’s kinda my point
green loom
That's totally wizard
storm jungle
Yeah and those "wins" are just shit i can count on my hand
dusk patrol
The Emperor barely does anything within the setting anyways
storm jungle
compared to the Emperor who farts out firestorms to kill entire demon armies.
dense salmon
emperor is to vect what gandalf is to saruman
dense salmon
like yeah they're both powerful but gandalf is like
storm jungle
and the stuff he does is like.... really a lot more sensible lol
dense salmon
a primordial being
storm jungle
^
storm jungle
Vect works more because the excuses the writers give are a lot more sound, compared to the Emperor whos just "Im a god lol"
crisp heath
Saruman is equally powerful as Gandalf and they have same origins but is that pedantic
dusk patrol
I don’t see how Vect is any better, I think they both work fine
storm jungle
Vect is better because hes a part of a small fry faction that doesn't have to get wanked in every narrative.
crisp heath
Saruman is technically more "powerful" than Gandalf, God personally stepped in to fuck with him tho
storm jungle
you say he "always wins" and yet hes been failing to contain the civil war in commorragh since yvraine popped up for 4 editions now

I like how when the setting became more serious they had to get rid of a planet called "Birmingham" so they just said Drukhari killed everyone and no one noticed for a while

MORE EVIDENCE FOR GSC!!!!/s
dusk patrol
They can sustain themselves with just the population growing from birth frankly, they just always like to get more and use more. But they’re not really in danger from anyone, Vect definitely isn’t.
storm jungle
They literally are
do you know what dysjunctions are
💀
Vect is also entirely afraid of Yvraine and the Ynnari considering their soul-capture method basically makes what the Drukhari does on a massive scale pointless.
dusk patrol
Yes and they just closed off the giant warp portal from the pockets it broke through
dusk patrol
Vect doesn’t like Yvraine, we’ve never seen fear, he just thinks they’re dumbasses, and they obviously undermine him
storm jungle
Commorragh is unassaible to most things but the Warp is not one of them, demonic invasions are always a risk.
storm jungle
Vect doesn’t like Yvraine, we’ve never seen fear, he just thinks they’re dumbass...
He literally sends Drazhar to kill her lol
and its not undermining
its literally again
making soul-stealing a null method, thats a danger to him and his followers
ITS WHERE THERES A CIVIL WAR
dusk patrol
It’s giving weaker Drukhari something else to pursue which he doesn’t believe will ever work, he both thinks it’s stupid and that Yvraine is undermining his authority
dense salmon
chasm of woe?
it's only growing larger
vect can slow it down but it's not stopping
storm jungle
If he doesnt think it wont work he wouldnt have sent Drazhar to kill he rto begin with.
crisp heath
storm jungle
Its genuinely not that simple lol
dusk patrol
It doesn’t need to work for her to fuck with his plans
crisp heath
and I need to finish it and I didn't mean it lol
dusk patrol
No, it doesn’t, because it’s drawing away assets from him
storm jungle
Theres more factors than that though.
dusk patrol
It’s giving Drukhari a chance away from Commoragh
dusk patrol
It doesn’t mean it’s gonna work lol
storm jungle
I mean it clearly is.
dusk patrol
It’s just a chance, a chance he thinks is them being dumb fucks throwing their lives away
storm jungle
Yeah and thats the point.
dusk patrol
He literally says that
dusk patrol
Has it worked yet?
storm jungle
Yes?
dusk patrol
No it hasn’t
storm jungle
Ynnead protects the souls of the eldar that join the Ynnari
as per the two shitty books
Half of the novel is set up showing that a lot of people doubt it works before Yvraine does the mcguffin ritual and shows most of the drukhari onboard ot join the ynnari that its a viable method.
dusk patrol
It protects them if the plan actually goes through, the cost is the entire Eldar race currently unless they can get the last sword
And even then they don’t know if it would work
They just think it’s their best option
dusk patrol
That’s the cost unless they get the final sword
forest orbit
Dilara how much do you know about eldar in general
dusk patrol
Ynnead literally can’t wake up unless they go through with one of rhose two things
storm jungle
Ynnead literally can’t wake up unless they go through with one of rhose two thin...
We cant really know that either
since you know
dusk patrol
I’ve read the books two although it has been awhile
storm jungle
that plotline currently is on ice
dusk patrol
Well yeah
forest orbit
Also this entire argument just seems kinda pointless to me tbh
storm jungle
I mean it is
dusk patrol
But the point is that was their plan, because obviously they’d prefer not to have to have every single Eldar die
storm jungle
but im bored
For the love of god
the "all eldar must die" shit
is from Gathering Storm
dusk patrol
I’ve read the books where do they present the alternative?
It’s that or the crone swords
I read the same books
That’s why they were going to such effort
storm jungle
And im talking about the croneswords, its the entire reveal at the end Phoenix Rising, which was also another shitshow itself 💀
storm jungle
So have I
dusk patrol
There was two options
storm jungle
Multiple times
dusk patrol
All of them die, or the crone swords
forest orbit
The fuck is this argument at this point

Very aggressive agreement

then people like you make me thing and realise how dumb it sounds in rretrospect
dusk patrol
It’s definitely dialogue more for our benefit than it making a ton of sense for her to say
storm jungle
yeah also i dont super blame them for putting this in considering how stupid your average player is
dusk patrol
Tbh too they have to write this stuff like VT with the idea that players know nothing of 40k
Like how in Vermintide they’ll comment on racial relations that all the cast should definitely know already mostly, but obviously the player base might not.
storm jungle
Yeah i think for the most part its done well enough that you CAN get why characters in-the-know would talk about this stuff
I dont wanna nitpick Zola's line too much because even pros can say very obvious shit when doing their job
Unless you wanna be full Cortana
dusk patrol
She obviously likes talking about Atoma too
storm jungle
Yeah its why i like her annoucner missions a lot

Meanwhile Grendyl’s like “Smh amateurs, just pre record some mysterious recording and have them all chat ‘I am a warrior.’”
“Works everytime”
storm jungle
The fact that he literally does a psychic-holo-esque Zoom call from a servitor is still one of the best things ive seen in 40k fiction tbh
that and the fact that its definitely pre-recorded lol
dusk patrol
I do like they’re keeping him mysterious
As much as I’d love if he’s Saltz VA but a little less extra
storm jungle
I just hope they don't reveal Grendyl at all and if they have to its like in a Waylaid goodbye-to-this-game type of cutscene or reveal.
and onto Darktide 2 for another buggy launch but cool game
crisp heath
Idk... I kinda would like it...

I wouldn’t complain

I visibly cringed knowing exactly what he means

Hey we all have our performance reviews. It’s nice hearing someone like Morrow be nervous too

And i like that they did capitalize on the Street Vibe of the carnival. It was a blast playing veteran on long open spaces and roads.
crisp heath
Who? Morrow? Dude seems too know a lot more then he let's on. He has to stop himself sometimes in the way he speaks. He strikes me like my uncle. Old war vet who took an ied. Dudes a bumbling fool who has seen some shit, and might not know much, but when it comes to fighting, dudes probably got more experience than anyone.

apparently rannick thinks we move too slowly
literally blazing through the mission
"they're really milking this one, sir..."

Before the I played the Carnival I was really expecting it to have more of a red light/casino vibe but I guess maybe that's a bit much for 40k

"Oh well, at least they're easily replaceable."

Nah thats absolutely 40k

Also that one Bar named "The Emperor's Head". We were like this is definetly a heretic bar. Then a giant icon of nurgle is just propped up on the wall. We were like yup. This place needs to burn.

@dense salmon notice how there's bars like, every corner? World never really changes much, does it? Gotta keep the populace happy somehow lolol

wouldn't mind lighting my house with those

Imagine the Carnival music blaring while there's like pink and purple lighting fighting off a horde, totally chic
Ah well
umbral nymph
I immidietly went over the bar to look for hidden booze or something in the middle of a horde event. Ended up roleplaying as a bartender holding off some VERY thirsty customers
Good times
storm jungle
Lmao
dense salmon
huffing that obscurum has got me communing with daemons
storm jungle
I also love how Abnett literally took the fucking plotline about warp-infested stimms from Ravenor and re-used it here, it might be lazy but for people that dont read those books i love it.
just mentioning it now since FS said he helped with the narrative behind these maps too
dense salmon
that obscurum has me TWEAKING
umbral nymph
Yeah visual storytelling on the new locales are top notch

I love the fact that despite us going on a drug raid against the heretics nurgle stimms we will pick random syringes up off the floor and inject them immediately

We were legit just looking around the new maps being more annoyed by the Damnation level hordes than anything else. Yea thats like 10 Maulers at us BUT have you seen the beanbags these heretics have on this smoking room.

Love all the custom assets like that
the vibe of the drug den being so shitty is great

I mean there's no way half the rejects aren't desperate addicts. It's a role-playing opportunity

They are straight up hitting you with a log which is their arm

Rannick literally said "let's send a lot of mentally unstable convicts into a room full of drugs, I'm sure they won't use them"

its not injecting its literally STABBING

I'm surprised the ogryns get anything out of them considering they are terminator sized
dusk patrol
Tbh yeah
storm jungle
they still have a human metabolism

But it’s a game
queen laurel
its not injecting its literally STABBING
And whatever that thing is it hits hard because if that small amount of those can juice up an ogryn
Imagine if it was more

I like to think the concentration stim gives the Ogryn a momment of Lucidity and jacks up his IQ to normal human levels

If you spin it around you can see the instructions on how to use it on the back too

If that amount of concentration is enough to juice up an ogryn

You have entered the forbidden hour of 5 hour energy

God I almost made a joke in some of the worst taste possible. Just let your mind dwell on Nurgle and needles for a bit and I'm sure it'll come to you in some form.

sacred ginkgo
in the nurgle cult areas no less
umbral nymph
It did cross my mind like, why are we injecting probably nurgle blessed stims to our bodies? Then I realized canonnicaly the rejects gets swallowed by beast of nurgle on the regular and come out unscathed so it checks out.
Immune systems are probably powered by the Emps himself
sacred ginkgo
I feel like stimms should do corruption damage for several reasons
umbral nymph
maybe do like a maelstrom modifier. Stims are more abundant or stronger but they do corruption damage the more you use them.
queen laurel
@storm jungle the drug addict entering the hospital storage
sacred ginkgo
Run it like the Raging Thirst curse or whatever its called from chaos wastes but corruption

or like the vermintide approach. Health slowly drains and you can only use stims to heal

Stimms are addictive. Game forces you to start selling guns, your dealer is one of the servitors by Hadron.

the only makeshift thing on them is the drawn symbols on the syringe

There's tons of atheists and agnostic imperials, they just keep it low key

They think that the warp can be explained with science

there are four very obviously real gods beating the shit out of the universe right now

totally beleivable that some people are like " yea sure for the emperor, yay, can i get my ration now ?"

Yeah so I regularly interact with and use the minions of these guys but they aren't real
arctic talon
No
they're real
but they aren't gods
thats Bile's logic lol
He's so staunch in his ideal of Chaos Gods != Gods it starts hurting minor daemons lol
not in a physical way
but they don't like it lol

Makes more sense then the tau

winged jacinth
Makes more sense then the tau
The tau basically had no experience with chaos until the 4th sphere of expansion
Afterwards i think most of them agree with Bile
I also kind of agree with bile that chaos gods are really just Greatest Daemons
plush mason
afaik Bile's view is that there are no gods, just very powerful beings
molten swan
To me they are just the culmination of all the worship and or unintentional worship (war for Khorne, plague for Nurgle, etc) in the warp, when their followers wax and wane, they do as well
winged jacinth
It really depends on how you define god, but the very informed parties know for a fact they're much younger than reality
plush mason
yeah
winged jacinth
I personally don't think there's any fundamental difference between them and other daemons? That's kinda hard to be sure about
molten swan
Yeah much younger than reality itself, Nurgle for example came into being with the Black Plague(or around the middle ages when plagues spread), and daemons dont lose their power really from not being worshipped like gods do
winged jacinth
The chaos gods directly draw power from the things they represent rather than worship but that might be true for big E too
Nurgle being from the plague is retconned
He was probably birthed in the war in heaven?
It never really made sense anyway the black plague killed a fraction of what was a tiny species at the time
molten swan
I dont believe it was retconned
snow fern
The big 3 came into existence around the War in Heaven and then Slannesh, whenever the Eldar did the thing idk when in the timeline that happened tbh
molten swan
“Nurgle was the third of the Chaos Gods to fully awaken within the Warp, emerging during the 2nd Millennium in the midst of Old Earth's European Middle Ages, as great plagues swept across the world heralding the god's birth”
snow fern
I was under the impression Khorne Tzeentch and Nurgle came into existence around the same time, with Slannesh being the newest and relatively recent anyway
winged jacinth
Lex does say "alongside" not from" but it seems to have a pretty recent citation?
The way the citations are done i dunno which of the two citations it is or if its the [needs citation]
Regardless it doesnt make any sense lol
arctic talon
Also the chaos gods retroactively exist anyways
winged jacinth
There's been a lot of galactic history for people to get sick in
arctic talon
so once they've been born, they can go assist their birth in the past lol
molten swan
How not? The black plague alone killed 30-50% of europe, 75-200 million people, that certainly seems like it'd wake ole Grandpa Nurgle up
get the ole poxes flowing
arctic talon
How not? The black plague alone killed 30-50% of europe, 75-200 million people, ...
compared to what woke Slaanesh up its pathetically small
there most likely was something else happening in the galaxy
around the same time
To who or what we don't know
molten swan
Throwing too big of murder parties led to slannesh from the eldar
arctic talon
But it was prolly multiple orders of magnitude worse
arctic talon
Throwing too big of murder parties led to slannesh from the eldar
Also just general decadence and excess
The thing that finalized their birth
was Trillions dying lol
molten swan
Yeah, slannesh is just extra like that
arctic talon
the other chaos gods also had equally symbolic events occur for their birth
The black death is not that
imo
molten swan
🤷
molten swan
Yeah, Nurgle because of various plagues and death, Khorne due to various conquests and wars, and tzeentch due to various schemes and politics throughout it all
all in the middle ages
molten swan
Yes lmao i'm just saying they all popped up in the middle ages not because of it
tulip brook
War in heaven happens for 60 million years throughout the galaxy, chaos gods were born in human middle ages... no wonder it's retconned.
arctic talon
Also yeah the Chaos gods were confirmed to have been present during the War in Heaven in some capacity somehow
Thanks Thrope
winged jacinth
i think it makes a lot more sense for them to have been born in what was probably the greatest war the galaxy will ever see
i'd buy a book that's just 1000 pages of trazyn rambling about the war in heaven

The demon core of 40k

oh man the demon core
everyone always depicts the hole as being the problem with the demon core, the problem is the screwdriver slipped out and the thing closed

they had proper procedures this was a party trick
