"Don't worry we're not the Blood Angels, we don't have the Red Thirst"

"Well that's good, what is the name of your Chapter?"

"We are the honourable Corpus Comedentis"

"Well I don't speak High Gothic, but that sounds great"

wintry scarab
#

Also with SM2. Who at saber thought it was a good idea to have cosmetics and upgrades purchased with the same god damn currency!

outer wave
#

Its so bad

#

I get what they were doing with that but bruh

wintry scarab
#

You basically have to leave the customization till later. Ive been only buying customization stuff and im stuck on diff 2

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

genuinely one of the most abysmal customisaiton systems ive seen

outer wave
#

Yeah it compensates for the fact that there's nothing to buy in terms of cosmetics I guess

#

At least things are rigged correctly so you dont have awkward clipping

wintry scarab
#

Also my face when someone is just having fun with customizing and not making their marine lore accurate: They are lesser

crystal forum
#

at least its earnable currency

#

pro tip you get currency from doing the tutorial things

#

also 200 extra from the watching streamer thing

hallow plover
storm jungle
crystal forum
#

but it's also extremely easy to earn the armours. it's just like 30 missions to get the maximum level

storm jungle
#

yeah but again almost even the most basic customisation options eat those points up

#

it basically doesnt mean much

crystal forum
#

i just bought iron hands and im happy chadgryn

storm jungle

wheres your bionics

Hows Crossplay work for it, you can do PVE but not PVP?

storm jungle
queen laurel
storm jungle
#

just the arm eh?

crystal forum
#

yep

outer wave
#

No leg?

storm jungle
#

nope

#

just an arm

#

lmao

crystal forum
#

not yet

outer wave
#

Not even a mechanical peg leg?!

storm jungle
#

"not yet" as in wait for more DLC

#

but yeah

wintry scarab
storm jungle
#

you can wait until the Iron Hands DLC pack

#

in like

#

maybe 2 years

crystal forum
#

10

outer wave
#

Tbf that wont mean much to those newcomers to 40k

storm jungle
outer wave
#

They'll be like "Oooh cool"

storm jungle
#

Iron Hands suck

crystal forum
#

it's just funny that they put every ultra successor like the fucking libators

queen laurel
outer wave
#

All I know is that Iron Hands are just kinda massive technophile assholes

#

And apparently were toxic on the tabletop

rocky gale
outer wave
#

Fair

rocky gale
#

Like people still complain about when the Tau were toxic on the tabletop after being added and that was like 20 years ago at this point

wintry scarab
outer wave
#

I know but they're in particular technophile assholes

arctic talon
#

Iron Hands are funny

crystal forum
#

i just like iron hands for HH lore and tanks

arctic talon
#

They've like

#

terrorized the Meta at some point

#

every edition since 6e

rocky gale
#

Oh yea and it's funny because a lot of the time it happens it's not even thought of as a direct change to the Iron Hands before being imlemented, it's just a change to how a universal rule works or how Space Marines in general work. But then by happenstance it somehow makes Iron Hands OP

storm jungle
#

there he is

#

lol

wintry scarab
#

What chapters have no side affects along with their gene seed? Is it just ironhands, darkangels and ultramarines?

arctic talon
#

Chapter master "Smashfucker" no I don't know why he's called that
the unkillable double volkite dreadnought
the unkillable dreadnought 2 redemptor boogaloo
Ironstorm tank hell

IMPERIAL FISTS fuck

They have some, Iron Hands have some stuff too kinda

wintry scarab
storm jungle
#

LOL

#

you said it not me

arctic talon
#

its the same case as Eldar, their fluff + general gameplan leans into whats good in a wargame environment

dusk patrol
#

Dark Angels and Ultramarines are the two main chapters with no issues

storm jungle
#

the mary sue geneseed works wonders

blood angels and space wolves get the super gimmicks

Let them bask in ignorance.

Chaplain, execute him

dusk patrol

Multimelta is super dope, especially as you upgrade its range

#

Holy fuck does it clear hallways

crystal forum
#

YES

#

it melts swarms

dusk patrol
#

Also the Heavy dude is basically an Iron Hand in personality so

#

That helps lol

storm jungle
#

I still cant believe

queen laurel
crystal forum
#

ive noticed that tooe

storm jungle
#

the only bionic in the game is a fucking arm

#

lol

crystal forum
#

he even says no to a commendation

dusk patrol
#

I’ll take it for now, they’ll add more later

storm jungle
#

I mean

#

its Iron hands as we said before

storm jungle
#

better be prepared to wait like 5 years like me

dusk patrol
#

It’s an obvious and easy thing to add even for non IH

storm jungle
#

I doubt it tbh.

#

They'll prob focus on more important founders first

dusk patrol
#

People like augmetics

storm jungle
#

Yeah but most augmetics primaris get is always an arm

#

so i dont see them rushing to meet the demand

queen laurel
#

Is Melee straight up as people said practically useless most of the time

dusk patrol
#

No

storm jungle
#

its mostly useless

crystal forum
#

i kinda dont like the fact that i have to switch my class if somebody else has it

storm jungle
#

or a death sentence

dusk patrol
#

Not at all

storm jungle
#

it depends on how you fight

#

the Parry is also just bad

dusk patrol
#

It’s good if you don’t suck

crystal forum
#

the parry is super inconsistent

storm jungle
#

Translating what he said; basically glue your eyes to the screen and every 50 enemy around you to see if they are about to attack

#

otherwise yeha good luck lol

#

whoever removed not getting HP from executions is also braindead

#

literally the most necessary future that made the first game graet lmao

hallow plover
#

But you get armor!

queen laurel
storm jungle
#

Ah yeah my bad

#

armor that melts in like 2s

hallow plover
#

2s is generous

queen laurel
#

not a good one

crystal forum
#

parrys at least make you invincible during the animation so your teamates can clear the enemies on you during it

storm jungle
storm jungle
#

LMAO

#

if you are executing as someone about ot attack you

#

you get slammed

#

it happened to me like 5 times

#

its fucking obnoxious

crystal forum
#

oh

storm jungle
#

I might just be super unlucky, i always do it in swarms too because its enticing

dusk patrol
#

Executions you’re invincible into any attack what

storm jungle
#

in that case it sa bug

#

i was not imagining it

#

i literally lose health as im killing someone as they swipe at me

#

💀

hallow plover
#

You parry 1 attack but meanwhile you're getting mogged by the 30 other enemies surrounding you

crystal forum
#

at least team damage isnt present

#

weird that we cant choose coop difficulty tho

#

it's kinda too easy

dusk patrol
#

Idk, but that’s what I’ve always always seen, I’ve used it to avoid damage a lot

hallow plover
#

And shooters are a pain

hallow plover
#

100% accuracy and high damage and we barely have ways to close gaps

dusk patrol
crystal forum
#

shooters are very annoying yeah

hallow plover
#

I don't mind big groups. Shooters are my bane

dusk patrol
#

Also it works much better when you have three people being real.

storm jungle
#

Shooters are abysmal

hallow plover
#

And the fucking shooting gaunts can go out of bounds of you get close

crystal forum
#

i like the sniper big nids. they're simple to dodge

hallow plover
#

Why

crystal forum
#

and i like dodging last second

#

it's cool

storm jungle
#

thats always fun

storm jungle
#

god

#

like all these complaints would be fine

#

if you could heal from executions

#

im never gonna not rant about it

#

such a fucking dumb change

crystal forum
#

the game is still fun for me i have to say that

#

i am enjoying this

storm jungle
#

Yeah its fun i agree

#

its just sometimes "RAARGHHHH"

#

or turns into PvE dark souls as you dodge an entire arena of bosses as your team is dead + crouch-rolling

hallow plover
#

Yea, game is fun by it sucks to have to grind the checkpoints because you just lack health eventually

storm jungle
#

^

hallow plover
#

Gotta die to refill the bar

crystal forum
#

health stims are only useful for removing mortal wounds lol

hallow plover
#

I'm not that far though so i'm anticipating the chaos enemies

crystal forum
#

so you can get downed more

hallow plover
#

I liked them in SM1

hallow plover
#

I will try the pvp tonight

dusk patrol
#

They’re different, some ways easier some ways harder

wintry scarab
# hallow plover Gotta die to refill the bar

Btw, stims restore health that you have recently lost +. So imagine you get hit by a horde and lose all your health. Stim and you get it all back as opposed to waiting before stimming.

storm jungle
queen laurel

#

High difficulties are also basically impossible

#

its not even fun after awhile

#

you dont even feel like a space marine at all

#

lol

#

well i guess its more lore accurate at least

hallow plover
crystal forum
#

the crux terminator pre order thing made me realize i should have given my terminators more details instead of just painting it gold

hallow plover
#

Again; Titus is weaker than any of the operation classes

rocky gale
#

I wonder how all the "It's supposed to be power fantasy" Helldiver bros are doing now that SM2 is out and they're being eaten alive by rats

dusk patrol
#

I dunno I’ve been doing fine. There’s a few things I’d like them to improve but largely it works good at the highest difficulty especially for multiplayer it’s just hard, requires teamwork.

wintry scarab
dusk patrol
#

You definitely want to be max level with upgraded weapons for the highest difficulty

#

And we have a higher one coming out later this year

wintry scarab
crystal forum
#

how do you even change coop difficulty

dusk patrol
#

Mission select

#

Top left corner

#

Should have the button

crystal forum
#

alright thx

rocky gale
#

Do higher difficulties give more rewards or is it just bragging rights?

dusk patrol
#

Which are a significant improvement

#

You get armory data from mini bosses or little servo skulls you find around the map.

crisp heath

I wish you could keep the ||death watch|| armor

I wonder if the Imperium of Man will be divided just like the Roman Empire because of Great Rift (Cicatrix Maledictum), or will it continue be united?

With the Great Rift, is connection possible or nobody knows what's going on in the other side?

Rogue traders would still probably continue doing their own thing

They'd probably become relied upon for their trade routes even more

Oh yeah they'd have to

#

do lictors kiss well

hallow plover

I hope so

Their warrant of trade would become invalid so they just start showing off that they also have a big ass navy

thats the Black Dragons

just came back from trying to kiss a lictor and i now have no jaw

And like dilara said they're basically tarkatans from mortal kombat

They grow bone protrusions from their body and they can even shoot their arm blades

As to why they have developed these flaws

CTVNews

A U.S. navy chief who wanted the internet so she and other enlisted officers could scroll social media, check sports scores and watch movies while deployed had an unauthorized Starlink satellite dish installed on a warship and lied to her commanding officer to keep it secret, according to investigators.

#

We did it

#

We invented real life tech heresy

crystal forum
#

are rubric marines demons

raven stone
crystal forum
#

so if they die they die for good?

arctic talon
#

Rubric marines can be rebound to armor

queen laurel
#

Emotionless dust that move shells they use as bodies

arctic talon
#

yeah

crystal forum
#

can they make more?

#

like can any ol soul become one

raven stone
#

You know that is a good question.

I will need to dig a bit into the lore now...

arctic talon
#

Thousand sons geneseed is rare

crystal forum
#

wait they still need the geneseed?

#

i thought they were just souls

#

im guessing they only do it for powerful psykers to get more leader rubrics

arctic talon
#

The leader are still flesh and bone

crystal forum
#

oh

#

i thought it was generic term for thousand sons

arctic talon
#

yeah rubric marines specfically refer to the guys who got turned to dust

raven stone
#

It used to be non-psykers, but lore got updated so basically anyone unlucky enough when Rubric of Ahriman was used

#

I supposed new TSons will necessarily be flesh and bone

arctic talon
#

Well

#

Its any weak psykers + non psykers

raven stone
#

But there won't be new Rubric Marines specifically

#

Ah thanks

arctic talon
#

For example the scarab occult terminators

#

were mostly like

#

weaker psykers

#

so they got turned to dust as well

raven stone
#

Ah I see

arctic talon
#

more then likely there was some odd redistributing of like "the soul" so to speak

#

since all the left over psykers got a lot stronger

#

after the Rubric

raven stone
#

But yea to get actual new Rubric Marines specifically would require sorcery equivalent to the Rubric of Ahriman, which...well.

Good luck unless you are Ahriman himself.

arctic talon
#

you also need the book

#

which magnus owns

raven stone
#

Lol

#

TLDR both Magnus and Ahriman must also despise whoever you want to inflict such a fate upon.

crystal forum
#

dude

#

pretty hidden sick burn

#

so a big thousand sons guy shows up

#

says something about revenge for magnus

#

titus responds with "words as hollow as your fallen brothers"

arctic talon
#

most out of pocket shit is Archean saying he'll give the Thousand sons flashbacks to prospero lol

crystal forum
#

i know one of you is going to erm me

#

but isn't it funny how in lore thunderhawks are units of invincible destruction

#

but in games and the animations they get shot down easily

#

i was streaming the game to somebody who doesnt know 40k and i had to explain to them that the big blue ship costs over a grand on tabletop

hallow plover
#

We are angels of death getting mogged by termagaunts born in pools litterally yesterday

That terminator armor won't protect you from basic claws

crystal forum
#

is it just me or is this baneblade way smaller than it's supposed to be

#

this thing is supposed to be massive

rocky gale
#

The good ole comparison image

crystal forum
#

that's the model

rocky gale
#

You're the model

crystal forum
#

models are smaller than they're supposed to be

#

tanks at least

outer wave
#

I imagine partly is that you're playing a bigger character

rocky gale
#

Also in the comparison image the Baneblade is bigger

crystal forum
#

baneblades are so big that some big militarum guys make a whole office for them inside one

#

in lore at least

#

im guessing devs just went with tabletop size

rocky gale
#

But it's not

#

What?

crystal forum
#

like it's big

rocky gale
#

Oh okay

#

The first picture you posted was awful

crystal forum
#

but not as big as i expected

#

ye sorry

rocky gale
#

First picture made it look like Titus was almost as tall as the turret

crystal forum
#

he's on steps

rocky gale
#

But yea, his head being just below the Sponson is Tabletop scale

crystal forum
#

it still looks stunty

#

it's barely bigger than a leman russ

#

commissars doing their thing

#

beautiful

thorn zenith
#

I guess the baneblade looking like that also helped it to feel more ergonomic rather than being super big fucking tank in a raw sense

raven stone
#

@crystal forum but most beautiful of all was that animated Deathwatch Corvus in flight…

winter vessel
#

And in a video game chef’s kiss

crystal forum
#

ye was great

winter vessel
#

But yeah it’s also nice to see Imperial Vehicles in game to see the scale of it. I mean we play as a space marine at best we’re nearly on head level, but it’s cool if you can view it in a guardsman’s perspective

crystal forum
#

oh this mission is the trailer mission

winter vessel
#

speaking of Guardsmen I appreciate the variety of appearances each individual had, not just the matching blanks

crystal forum
#

yeah i noticed that too

#

i thought from the trailers they'd all be the same

raven stone
#

If nothing else this game does confirm Primaris Marines are…even larger.

crystal forum
#

this game does tickle me as a guard lover

#

lots of cool stuff

winter vessel
#

Takes me Back to the Halo Trilogy days with the marines, good times

raven stone
#

Also I like how ||Blackshield Titus|| (minor spoilers but still) is an actual highly accurate recreation of the tabletop miniature.

crystal forum
#

there was a mini of that?

#

im just surprised they depict mark 8 armour

#

which is super rare to see

#

shame we cant equip it

winter vessel
#

Man, now I want to see a Blackshield Titus as a cosmetic option

raven stone
#

For reference.

#

Not my mini ofc

#

They just added a helmet.

winter vessel
#

On the grind

crystal forum
#

can i just say how based it is that it turns its turret backwards to ram the wall

#

to not damage the gun

winter vessel
#

Though that was good attention to detail

crystal forum
#

this whole mission is trailerbait but it's great

winter vessel
#

I spent my time longer than I should have on the campaign, but I was so drawn by the level environment and what happens in the background

paper haven
#

At least the gameplay and the trailer match

crystal forum
#

i wonder if i wait long enough the guardsmen will die

winter vessel
raven stone
#

Imagine getting a Tempestus Scions game with this sort of detail…

crystal forum
#

nvm eventually they kill all the nids

raven stone
winter vessel
#

Yeah, not getting plowed easily

crystal forum
#

it looks great

#

seeing all those nids coming for you

winter vessel
#

I do hope that we face more Nid variants down SM2’s journey, adding more

storm jungle
#

Okay finished the game

#

Yeah the ending makes this game a solid 7/10

#

i had fun but not sure id go through that again, my ears and eyes hurt lmao

outer wave
#

Is the sound mixing that bad?

storm jungle
#

No no its not the sound mixing

#

its just theres so many audio things going on

#

portals, explosions, gunfire, special attack cues, voicelines, etc etc

#

no wonder some peoples' computers cant handle this game lmao

outer wave
#

Hoo

storm jungle
#

my audio cut out in some parts, and the cutscenes sharted themselves briefly

#

but it was nice

winter vessel
#

I gave it 8/10. My only issues were that I got stuck in loading screens, and the regaining health aspect

#

I was slightly confused

#

Parry was just a skill issue for me

#

I can get better

soft thunder
#

going to keep playing for the replayable mission grind or pvp?

thorn zenith
#

Health regain mechanics gives me conniptions

winter vessel
#

I’ve been subjected to too much brain rot by society. That I had “Like a Prayer” going through my head at the end

It wouldve been sustainable if executions give health and armor

Am i tripping? Why would a space marine not understand the sister? I thought that the sisters of silence are like a fairly well known thing to high ranks of the imperium. Like the astartes. Unless im missing something, a space marines not knowing the language of the sisters of silence seems a bit strange.

storm jungle
#

...because sign language is not something marines are taught?

outer wave
storm jungle
#

LOL

outer wave
#

That would make it a 10/10

storm jungle
#

Also people barely know space marines exist most of the time in 40k, and SoS were so obscure post 30k most people actually forgot they existed in-universe

thorn zenith
wintry scarab
storm jungle
#

why would they be

#

they are meat-tanks, not philosophers

crystal forum
#

they are taught a lot of stuff

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

not all o them are taught this stuff

#

also the thought-mark language of SoS is between them, it isnt some universal sign language thing the Imperium teaches its citizens.

outer wave
crystal forum
#

sign language is definitely one of those things that wouldn't help them much lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah but like again depends on the Chapter

#

why would they know sign language the SoS use

crystal forum
#

has anybody identified what regional sign language she uses?

arctic talon
#

Marines don’t know thought mark

storm jungle
#

^

#

they said it warcom

crystal forum
#

makes sense

crisp heath
#

Do sisters of silence outrank marines?

winter vessel
#

She actually signed “I asked for no pickles”

arctic talon
#

Thought mark is in universe kind of esoteric and weird

arctic talon
storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Realistically no

#

But depending on the situation yes

crisp heath
#

I don’t imagine they would be giving many orders lol

storm jungle
#

Yeah not that much

#

SoS are sidekicks to Custodians mostly

#

the operations they do themselves are varied

arctic talon
#

🖕 universal thoughtmark

crisp heath
#

Do custodians respect the sisters of silence? Or just see them as tools

arctic talon
#

They respect them

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

Yeah again they are Talons of the Emperor

#

they've been fighting together since 30k

#

the lore just forgot SoS exist lol

#

and they put this into the actual narrative

winter vessel
#

Again. This is not me being upset about the Change to Custodians, I’m indifferent. But C’mon GW, give the SOS some love for once

crisp heath
#

Very 80’s of them to forget women exist

storm jungle
#

yeah SoS were virtually forgotten by the writers after the HH

#

the fact that they wrote it into the lore is hilarious

#

and still makes no sense

#

"oh they are blanks so nobody liked them and spoke out for them"

#

????

crystal forum
#

this thing is like a 1:1 macro cannon from that one terrain model

storm jungle
crystal forum
#

looks dope

crisp heath
#

I don’t see any issue with there being women custodes though

#

They are handmade

storm jungle
#

Yeah pretty much.

wintry scarab
# storm jungle No???

Arnt space marine literally super humans in education as well? They essentially have a flawless memory. I always thought that a space marine would study in their offtime. Not knowing something as simple as a imperial sign language is just unbelievable. Unless that sign language is secret. But then why would the sister even try to speak to him in the first place?

crisp heath
#

No horribly gene cocktail like the marines

arctic talon
#

Thoughtmark isn’t secret

#

It’s just only used by the talons and people working with the sisters of silence

#

It’s not standard imperial sign language

#

Or the marine one

winter vessel
crisp heath

I think the funniest thing ever about the sisters of silence

#

Is they had one so incredibly strong blank she couldn’t really be perceived

#

And she was just accidentally killed by kharn

wintry scarab
# arctic talon Or the marine one

Idk, i just always thought that marines would know something like that. Especially a veteran. I could understand a scout or battlebrother

storm jungle
# wintry scarab Arnt space marine literally super humans in education as well? They essentially ...

Not really. Marines again are just blunt super soldiers and it changes from chapter to chapter, not all of them in majority are taught these things and are only tutored to stuff that actually matters to them. They aren't also Einstein level of intellect, they are brainwashed to be zealots to some extent and just be fascists ontop of that, even exemplar Chapters like the Ultramarines.

And its not "imperial sign language", its a special language called Thoughtmark the SoS have been using since the ywere founded, and again why would anyone in the Imperium know sign language? If the person cant speak or is deaf etc they'd just toss em around and not give a damn. The SoS probably just spoke expecting the marine to have some understanding of what shes saying before realising they are too dull-witted to really bother with it.

#

Again, Marines are not intellectual superiors to most people, 90% of the time you simply point them somewhere they go "oorah" and go destroy it.

arctic talon
#

Marines usually study battle strategy or like

#

How to kill shit better

crisp heath
#

Your iron hands marine would probably be amazing with tech but they don’t study poetry

storm jungle
#

Yeah they are genetically modified meat-tanks.

arctic talon
#

Not many chapters engage in art

storm jungle
#

you are giving them way too much credit

arctic talon
#

That’s for the nerds

storm jungle
#

lol

arctic talon
#

tech marines are 🤓

#

But that’s because they’re practically speaking enginseers

storm jungle
#

its people like Custodians who are actual gigachads intellect wise, down to even saying shit like the Primarchs are a shit idea KEK

crisp heath
#

They were right

storm jungle
#

that suggestion alone raises them above most people in the setting

arctic talon
#

Tbh some chapters do, like

#

Do art shit

#

Salamanders, Blood angels and their sucessors

crisp heath
#

Emperor should have just made only grey knight smh

storm jungle
#

yeah but art doesnt really translate to understanding Thoughtmark

Yeah

Grey knights are resistant to chaos taint

This too yeah

crisp heath
#

Grey knights being summoned instead of demons is really funny

Marines are about as smart as its required of them. Which doesn't go beyond knowing how to mow down enemies.

seeing a hamerfall bunker depicted is not something i expected

it's like they had a diversity quota but specifically for GW models

this entire game is an advertisement piece

thats the point lol

Battle Brother Genericus of the sons of gman isn’t going to like read about “the culture of imperial blanks” they’re going to read about “steps to efficiently kill a Tau gun line”

And for SoS, I thought they assisted with operations on Black Ship fleets, or is that a rare occurrence?

winter vessel

What’s your guys’ thoughts on Titus’ new buddies?

arctic talon

They’re marines

storm jungle

They are about as blank as they come

Gadriel is battle brother genericus

Not that he’s bad

Tight ass

I also hate Titus for just

He’s just like

A marine

storm jungle
#

not telling them the situation

winter vessel
#

I thought he was going to be another Leandros to be fair

storm jungle
#

is such a fucking dumb trope

#

just there to create drama

that doesnt matter

because we know they'll reconcile

arctic talon

Yeeep

You stole his command of his squad

Hes gay

That should have been the conflict

crisp heath

And day 1 one of his buddies die under your command

He feels overshadowed

And that Titus isn’t doing a good job

Not Titus going

Nuh uh

You don’t get to know

When I heard Calgar talk I nearly lost my **** until I read the credits for Voice acting. Also RIP Totalbiscuit

All my friends bought it on the PS5, so I won't even be able to play PVP with them sad

I hate losing so much

#

Can’t do PvP no more

crisp heath
#

Raises my blood pressure

winter vessel

I may take a swing on the PVP, but I might get curbstomped like I would in Destiny’s Crucible. AKA the embodiment of Pain

outer wave

TTK is low but I dont think its D2 levels of low

Soooo you should be okay

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Apparently the pvp is fun

storm jungle
#

the spectacle is great dont get me wrong

arctic talon
#

Lol

crisp heath
#

I think the last PvP game I actually enjoyed

storm jungle
#

but bombing the nids by using a prometheum field gets boring after awhile

#

idk how darktide manages it

crisp heath
#

Was the last of us multiplayer

storm jungle
#

i guess its Kyd lol

crisp heath
#

Shit was hype

#

Medic gang

outer wave
#

Its kyd plus alot of build potential

crisp heath

Kyd?

storm jungle

Jesper

#

the Kyd....

storm jungle
outer wave
#

Damn he's the Sundance Kyd....

storm jungle
#

the fact that its using the launch darktide skilltree too

#

it gave me secondhand PTSD

#

LMAO

#

the complete variety of... two trees

outer wave
#

Awful

#

Im so glad that system's gone

crisp heath
#

Dude I need more exp from these operations

storm jungle
#

Id say play on higher diffs

outer wave
#

But yeah the weapon variety plus class variety helps

winter vessel
#

Higher difficulties

storm jungle
#

but you'll get mulched

#

lol

crisp heath
#

Too hard

storm jungle
#

yeah this is my issue

crisp heath
#

Why enemy not die

#

I keep shooting them

storm jungle
#

You need more Xp but the higher difficulties are impossible to play.

Or you play low level but barely get any points.

crisp heath
#

Speaking of damn heavy is fun

storm jungle
#

who the fuck balanced this

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

Once I get swarmed im dead

#

But the one hive tyrant fight?

outer wave
#

You need friends for higher difficulty, which could be hard depending on how into your friend group is with Warhammer

crisp heath
#

Dude my heavy bolter was TEARING

outer wave
#

And how willing they are to fork up 80 bucks

winter vessel
#

My issue are my teammates when it’s time for us to move on there’s at least one guy who’d stay behind to kill more nids. I’m like “Bro there’s more to come let’s go!”

dusk patrol
#

Yeah the last difficulty you really need good teammates more than exp and stuff although those help a ton

wintry scarab
#

I did some looking around and i came to the conclusion that i think a space marine not being taught to communicate to sisters of silence is dumb. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

crisp heath
#

I need to dodge more

dusk patrol
#

Ive done the final tier with low level characters you just need good teammates who work together

Again stop overthinking it.

Not a complaint, just something I noticed

queen laurel

If the the max difficulty seems to be already brutal i can't imagine lethal

the horde mode will be the game's premiere grind friendly funtime mode, I assume

||Magnus shard raid boss lmao ||

dusk patrol
paper haven
#

It hints at 40k games becoming more formulaic.

crisp heath
#

Give us a 6 man team fighting it

winter vessel
#

Give us more nids to fight! Give me a Haruspex, Exocrine, or even a Tervigon! That’s a big mama

dusk patrol
#

Rn people don’t know how to play higher level stuff and work together and I still manage to get tier 3-4 done

crisp heath
#

Honestly bro

paper haven
#

PvPvE mode?

dusk patrol
#

Not even close to maxed out

crisp heath

Need a mission where all we are doing is chasing down a bio titan

queen laurel

Horde mode is what I’m most looking forward to down the line

Million cuts to it

And finally bring it down

Hue hue

winter vessel

“Ding ding ding ding ding”

bold rampart

so how does the story mode work, thats where you play as titus and the rest? and where do you play as the other classes (prolly a dumb question sry lol)

storm jungle
#

Uh basically

#

Start on barge

#

Go to bridge or another location to talk to a scripted sequence

storm jungle
#

Go to thunderhawk to deploy

#

Maybe visit armory to change your weapons

#

thats it

crisp heath
#

I get kicked a lot

winter vessel
#

It kinda reminds me of Special Ops from old COD when doing operations

crisp heath
#

Join game as bulwark

storm jungle
crisp heath
#

Other player is bulwark

#

Get kicked immediately instead of letting me switch

arctic talon
#

Fun fact drifter wears his robe the way a corpse wears a robe

queen laurel

I guess my answers get easily answered sometimes

crisp heath
#

They don’t say anything mean

There’s really bad connection issues rn for some people

dusk patrol

Mostly I’ve had no issues tbh

That’s just kinda rude as it gets

You know it's toxic, it's a 40k game at launch lol

I’ve only gotten kicked once when I had my sniper class selected

bold rampart

nah i was talking about like, you have classes. but then theres titus and his 2 buddies, so who do you play as

queen laurel
#

So you can't even play the campaign offline

bold rampart

Nah

fallen plaza
#

Internet having no standards as usual

storm jungle
#

you basically play as a tactical marine

#

you pick up any weapon you can find from stashes

winter vessel
#

He looks good, I just wish people stop thirsting so much they got Slaanesh on the hotline

arctic talon

Titus has his own special ability

every player gets their own unique Ultimate

They all do, Charon is the tactical one

Uh huh

that actor legit has the most square face in existence

spring cairn

p unique haircut for an ultramarine no ?

dusk patrol
#

Truly

storm jungle

to be fair

#

its either that

#

or being bald

dusk patrol

You could cut diamonds with it

storm jungle

or having that Fury sidecut

dusk patrol

Titus has the “I guess I’ll keep my hair idk idc” cut

or viking hair

Every marine should have a garviel loken ahh haircut

Thoughts on your marines being characters and not your own made dudes?

its up there with Killmonger

The heavy dude is basically an iron hand so it’s funny but I’d prefer more

winter vessel

yeah his scar is gnarly

the patch of skin the wires go under being more red is a great detail

lmao

winter vessel
dusk patrol

I definitely think you should be able to customize their faces though

storm jungle
#

I mean we are generic

#

have you heard the banter lol

#

Decimus is like the only good one

#

"YOU SHOULD BE A CHAPLAIN BROTHER"

dusk patrol
#

The heavy is amazing smh

storm jungle
#

"WHY SO"

#

"BECAUSE I CAN SUCK YOUR CO-"

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

speaking of holy shit we need Chapman/Apoth class stat

#

this game needs a fucking support class

#

💀

#

and just like most games it will be the most thankless job ever

#

but thats lore-accurate

winter vessel
#

Apothecary would be very helpful so I don’t get marked for Drug abuse when I need health

dusk patrol
#

They’ve basically confirmed an apothecary is coming

storm jungle
queen laurel
# storm jungle "BECAUSE I CAN SUCK YOUR CO-"

I can probably slice peanut butter and put it on top of vanilla ice cream and give it more personality by throwing spices at it, at least it's not as bad as dawn of war space marine 2 vanilla man

storm jungle
#

not wrong

#

but yeah like

#

among the 6

#

only 2 of the VAs are great

#

and yes Heavy is one

#

the others legit mix into each other i cant even tell them apart

crisp heath
#

I wish

queen laurel

Well then time to wait for a year until the game gets lower prices

crisp heath

Executions gave hp

#

I’m DYING

winter vessel
#

Decimus really is cool when playing OPS. First time meeting him in story: “ohoho I like you

soft thunder
#

I reopened SM1 today played a little and remembered why I didn't 100% the game's acheivos last decade. SM2 seems more or less the same game with new graphics.

So my question is does the coop mission stuff add much depth? Only considering buying at launch instead of a sale is due to doing coop w/ friends. Is there much synergy etc when playing w/ others? Aside from the host of combat tweaks that y'all have noted.

Just scrolled past the support class mentions, and ya that's the kind of synergy I was thinking of lol

storm jungle
#

Uhhhhhh

#

Not really.

#

Like they are fun with friends

#

thats about it

winter vessel
storm jungle
#

also again great spectacle

storm jungle

My friends seem eager to play pvp

I guess he has very lame tastes.

dusk patrol
near wasp
#

This just means I'll finally get to lore dump about heretics

dusk patrol
#

They’re probably gonna have an apothecary soon

#

Also need an Emperors Children MP class

crisp heath
#

I was gonna play a white scars assault

queen laurel
#

I'm going to wait for this game to cook a little bit then wait for the opportunity to get it

crisp heath
#

But man iron warrior heavy goes hard

storm jungle
#

yeah the Apothecary does not surprise me, i almost assume it might have been a launch class that got thrown off.

The gameplay itself very much makes it feel like there needs to be a support class.

soft thunder
#

What am I looking at eternal?

winter vessel
#

It’s a shame my friend group aren’t into 40k, so that leaves me to enjoy the game on my own. Or I check and see the SM2 discord server

I might play sniper or bulwark idk yet

They better add termies

dusk patrol

I doubt it but maybe

storm jungle

I do find it funny we have Tartaros termies but not Indomitus

Termies doing Dark Souls rolls would be peak meme.

If I see some MF call they Tyranids “Terminids” it’ll be too soon

queen laurel

#

Termies I could see showing up in added campaign missions though

Like the dreadnought sequence

queen laurel

So unless you can commit to that do not pick it

and they are semi-fodder elite enemies

Such a good sequence

“I wonder how he’s gonna fight the Heldr-“ YEET
