#

Remember that 40k is a tabletop game first

hasty coral
#

Because I know it’s gonna be 13 years until we get a breadcrumb for any of this

opaque coyote
#

Collectathon second

#

And actual story last

hasty coral
#

I don’t care of its origin

snow fern
#

But most are dead, Khaine is fractured, the clown is honking in the webway, one's Nurgle's wife||this sucks btw||, and Ynnead has yet to exist yet

hasty coral
#

The story can still frustrate me

dusk patrol
#

Good

opaque coyote
#

More constantly tortured

#

Like literally

snow fern
#

Lab rat

hasty coral
#

I think pet is more apt

opaque coyote
#

Constantly

#

Tortured

snow fern
#

Lab rat

opaque coyote
#

Basically

arctic talon
#

Isha is a test subject/lab rat

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

That dynamic is so interesting though, goddess of healing meets the spirit of nature who is completely fucked up and is a monster

snow fern
#

The setting is frustrating in the fact that, like at least 50% of all issues could be resolved and somebody took the rod out of their ass

arctic talon
#

Eldar belief or artificially created by the Old Ones

hasty coral
#

Like a druid finding out their deity has space aids

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

yes

opaque coyote
snow fern
#

Like the Horus heresy pisses me off too no end

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

its debated in universe by Eldar

hasty coral
#

Ok nvm then that was more my question

arctic talon
#

or rather craftworld eldar

spring cairn
snow fern
#

DLC aint out yet though

arctic talon
#

40k is a sandbox

#

not a linear story

#

tbh

spring cairn
#

sandbox with a setting

arctic talon
#

thats what I like about it personally

hasty coral
#

I know it’s a setting but I feel like they don’t even TRY

arctic talon
#

With what?

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

To have a good story sometimes

arctic talon
#

I mean

snow fern
#

They're trying harder than they did

arctic talon
#

there are good stories though

#

idk

#

Well "good"

opaque coyote
spring cairn
#

thx to space marine 2 the Stirland marines are canon

arctic talon
#

Space Marine 2's story is ass but its about what I expected lol

opaque coyote
#

Insert obvious Eisenhorn and Cain recommendation

arctic talon
#

there's a lot of good stories within the universe imo

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

Darktide has almost no story but it’s thankfully CARRIED by its VAs

opaque coyote
#

They intentionally leave a lot of shit vague to

#

insert your own stuff

#

Because tabletop

hasty coral
#

I feel like I can say that a lot with 40k

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

ngl

#

Darktide is not an example of a good story in 40k

hasty coral
#

No it’s not

arctic talon
#

I do like the characters and lore introduced with it

snow fern
arctic talon
#

but like w/e

hasty coral
#

But the VAs carry

opaque coyote
#

Like

arctic talon
#

background stuff

opaque coyote
#

Tf is bro even doing

arctic talon
#

idfk

opaque coyote
#

Like he is a great writer in general which is the worst part

arctic talon
#

ask him on twitter

#

lol

snow fern
#

Yah no the game VO and audio books carry 40k

arctic talon
#

not really true?

#

at least I don't like audio books lol

snow fern
#

oh

hasty coral
#

Can like Fatshark just like do the voice direction for every 40k project? Because they clearly just slap insanely hard

arctic talon
#

warhammer crime are some of my favorite scifi books lol

outer wave
arctic talon
#

I don't think there's a single warhammer crime book I wouldn't recomend

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

Like you ask someone: who are some of your favorite Warhammer characters?

At least ONE will be from Vermintide or Darktide

opaque coyote
#

Like Dan Abnett usually parallels IRL wars for his stories

#

I think Darktide in particular actually parallels the Gulf War

opaque coyote
#

But that's a crackpot theory

outer wave
outer wave
#

I think Matt Ward is on the writing team so theres experience

opaque coyote
#

On th other hand

#

The Grey Knights

hasty coral
#

I would give my life to bring Bardin to 40k somehow

storm jungle
#

whos gonna tell him

arctic talon
#

my favorite characters are like Cawl, Dante, Noctis from Warhammer Crime

hasty coral
#

My beloved

arctic talon
#

Noctis is hilarious

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

he's out of his fucking league

#

in what he gets involved in

hasty coral
#

Wtf is Warhammer Crime?

arctic talon
#

Its

#

books

#

set on a hiveworld

hasty coral
#

That

arctic talon
#

lower level shit

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

very good

snow fern
#

It's small scale, Warhammer crime is great

arctic talon
#

the highest ranking person to show up in any of the books is like an arbite lol

opaque coyote
#

It's interesting how he almost seems like a genuine, sane person at one moment. And then fucking insane in another.

#

It's great

snow fern
#

It's too easy to get lost in galaxy wide conflict

hasty coral
#

Why does it seem like a lot of the good writing of 40k is NOT part of the main plot

arctic talon
#

there isn't

#

a main plot for 40k

#

really

snow fern
#

40k doesnt really have a plot

storm jungle
#

because the main plotlines are slop

arctic talon
#

^

snow fern
#

just events that affect it

opaque coyote
#

It's a setting

#

At the end of the day

arctic talon
#

Dawn of Fire fucking sucks

snow fern
#

the galaxy getting cut in half is an event

arctic talon
#

The most relevant thing is when campaign books come out

snow fern
#

the lion rising from his sleep is an event

arctic talon
#

in which that case we have a "main plot"

snow fern
#

Guilliman having turbo depression is an event

arctic talon
#

like

#

I classify 40k in like

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Codex lore, Warzone lore, campaign lore and book lore

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Like

hasty coral
#

Fulgrim twerked on the Imperium with a fucking BOOK

arctic talon
#

I think thats the best way to approach 40k

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

you break it down into chunks

opaque coyote
#

Because there are many interesting points of expansion that GW refuses to touch

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

depends

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

Both are glazers

arctic talon
#

some I just don't want elaborated

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Of someone in the universe

storm jungle
#

its how i used to do it

#

like studying for a test

#

LOL

arctic talon
#

also the most unhinged comment in warhammer crime is just someone going

#

"your brother would be lynched on my homeworld btw"

hasty coral
#

How are you gonna lose to a fucking homeless guy who writes fanfiction?

arctic talon
#

Like

#

holy shit lol

snow fern
#

The book of lorgar is literally the most influential piece in the setting

arctic talon
#

its so fucking out of pocket

snow fern
#

It literally build the foundation of the imperium

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

they got burned

#

by the ecclisarchy

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

the Custodes don't want to share their books

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

because they know its going to be fucking torched

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

glory to religous extremism

opaque coyote
#

Library of Alexandria moment

paper haven
arctic talon
#

that one wasn't that bad

#

a lot of the stuff in it was copies

hasty coral
#

Most subtle religious criticism in 40k KEKW_ogryn

arctic talon
opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

(Not wrong)

opaque coyote
#

But yeah a lot of books that would actually help us a lot

#

probably got burned

#

with the contents missing forever

opaque coyote
#

...

paper haven
#

But then there's the definitely cursed books that are just kept in storage or whatever

hasty coral
#

How much of the Imperium is schizophrenic

arctic talon
#

there's another ordo about redacting it

paper haven
#

By the inquisition

opaque coyote
#

Unfortunately there is also an Ordo in the Inquistion dedicated to redacting all of the history

arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

is the best way to think of it

opaque coyote
#

Literally every single aprt

arctic talon
#

its built on death

hasty coral
paper haven
#

Like the Roman empire

storm jungle
arctic talon
opaque coyote
hasty coral
arctic talon
opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

the Imperium is a bloated rotting carcass of an empire

#

that keeps on going

opaque coyote
#

Basically I think some random quote summarized it best

snow fern
#

It's doomed to fall

paper haven
#

Angry primates with guns that subsist entirely on spite

snow fern
#

now a matter of how but when

hasty coral
#

This is why I worship Nurgle

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

At least he is TRYING

#

Well

#

I guess not

#

That’s kinda the point

snow fern
#

If Chaos is sentient, and not like, just doing what their nature tells them too

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

They are part like natural universe and part manifested suffering

#

I think both probably?

storm jungle
#

they actively are evil

hasty coral
#

Like they are MADE out of evil

storm jungle
#

and enjoy the shit they do

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

Whether they have a real choice in the matter is the question

They do CHOOSE what to do in a sense but it’s kinda like Angron but worse

opaque coyote
paper haven
#

I blame the C'tan

hasty coral
#

Like did they really stand a chance?

opaque coyote
#

The Milky Way Galaxy is just a social experiment

paper haven
hasty coral
#

The Chaos Gods are absolutely evil mfs though, because they are made out of the shit

opaque coyote
#

And also the Emperor doesn't count

#

at all

hasty coral
#

How much of a stroke will this channel have if he gets revived

#

I’m thinking biblical

arctic talon
#

I mean

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

he can't get off the fucking throne

#

lol

opaque coyote
#

Or it will be the end times

hasty coral
arctic talon
#

Or else terra explodes into a new eye of terror

#

Thanks magnus

opaque coyote
hasty coral
arctic talon
#

he did nothing

hasty coral
#

He is stupid ok

arctic talon
#

incorrectly

#

he did nothing wrong

#

gj magnus

opaque coyote
#

Basically he was just so fucking pissed off at Magnus that he broke the Webway project to yell at him

#

Of course this was retconned to Magnus doing it

hasty coral
#

I mean at least his fall to chaos was warranted

#

Looking at you Fulgrim

#

Fucking useless bitch

opaque coyote
arctic talon
#

Fulgrim suffers from the Heresy

opaque coyote
#

You might get STDs

arctic talon
#

being way shorter originally

#

lol

#

or rather planned to be way shorter

hasty coral
#

Writing wise or lore wise?

arctic talon
#

Fulgrim and Ferrus both got fucked by that

#

writing wise

paper haven
# opaque coyote And also the Emperor doesn't count

Because he's not a god, duh. Just a man. A normal omniscient, reality bending man who insists that he is correct and that you do everything he says without any real proof or explanation but you gotta trust him anyway because he knows best.

hasty coral
#

Oh

arctic talon
#

Heresy was meant to be 10 books

#

originally lol

snow fern
#

10 books seems awfully short

opaque coyote
arctic talon
opaque coyote
#

10 books...

hasty coral
#

“Short”

Is this a troll?

paper haven
arctic talon
#

LOL

#

Just a tiny bit

#

yknow

opaque coyote
#

57 new books

snow fern
opaque coyote
#

along with the 10

snow fern
#

But I also like reading so what do I know

#

maybe if books came with subway surfer

paper haven
#

Also, does the siege of terra count as Horus heresy or is it a different category?

#

What about the War of The Beast?

opaque coyote
hasty coral
#

Does anyone else think 40k is best when it’s over the top and goofy?

paper haven
#

That's why the Orks are the best

hasty coral
#

Like I’m sorry but the grim darkness stuff isn’t really for me

#

The goofy bloodbath shit is fun

paper haven
#

Also Necron stuff but only from their perspective

opaque coyote
#

40k was originally made as a satire

#

Basically it's supposed to be so dark that it wraps back around to being kinda funny

#

Unfortunately real life events kinda makes some events in 40k look plausible

paper haven
#

And then it became mainstream, now it's a satire of itself and the fan base is still trying to grasp the first satire hurdle

opaque coyote
#

Basically

#

The setting itself is grimdark, but the stories actually aren't usually

#

Since it's in a limited perspective

snow fern
#

Well the thing about grimdark is that the setting as a whole sucks, but the people are still just people. It's important to see those humanizing moments

opaque coyote
#

The fight is worth it even if you don't know if you will win

#

Or even if you can win

paper haven
#

I once read a short story about a space marine who had to do some very sketchy stuff to win but he did stop an Iron warriors warsmith. Except the chaos gods still rewarded the warsmith because the sketchy stuff actually helped chaos too

#

And that's my favorite kind of story. A hopeless struggle against impossible odds where even victory is really just a slower defeat.

opaque coyote
#

ez win

#

jk

snow fern
#

With the exception of most of chaos and the tyrannids, every faction has elements to show that their still people at the end of the day. even Orks, though their philosophy is primarily how to best enjoy fighting

opaque coyote
paper haven
opaque coyote
#

Primarily because they are the only ones actually enjoying themselves

snow fern
#

Orks fucking love 40k

opaque coyote
#

"...IRON WITHOUT"

#

throws flesheater virus back at SM

#

just don't have flesh smh

#

simple

paper haven
#

That sort of is what happened. The iron warriors lost their best units but it also killed a squad of space Marines

opaque coyote
#

I did talk about this before

#

But what do you think about this cast

#
  1. A Khornate Berserker who was part of the Lamenters
#
  1. A Slaaneshi Possessed duo
#

basically a person with a daemon inside of em

#

figuratively ||and litera-||

#
  1. Nurgle Cultist that is an Ex-Ordo Hospitaler sister
#
  1. Alpha Legionnaire. I think you can guess who they represent.
#

Or maybe you don't

#

Either way I think they're alpharius?

paper haven
#

Additionally: 30k world eaters are my absolute favorite faction. Chaos but still human and struggling with their darker nature.
And, I know that's basically just roided out blood Angels but blood Angels already have sanguinius.

opaque coyote
#

I was thinking of making the Slaaneshi possessed asexual for shits and giggles. They are depraved in several other ways though

paper haven
#

World Eaters just got Angron. Nobody was happy about that

opaque coyote
#

"no"

#

shoves nails into head

#

"Are you proud of me now?"

#

"FUCK NO."

gray umbra
#

I thought kharn was a lot more interesting in 30k

opaque coyote
#

sobbing combined with the nails biting intensifies

opaque coyote
paper haven
opaque coyote
#

A genuinely reasonable person to... uh

#

somebody who literally has a kill counter in the millions

#

I wonder if the counter will have like... an integer overflow one day

#

Like imagine Kharn waking up to see the counter at 0

paper haven
#

Kharn being horrified at what Sigesmund had become is great

storm jungle
#

Sigismund became an NPC............

paper haven
paper haven
#

And then he died so.

#

Whatever

storm jungle
#

he will respawn later in his bed

storm jungle
#

literally

#

my guy wants no breaks

paper haven
#

There are still things that are alive.
Completely unacceptable.

storm jungle
#

me every day i go to work tbh

paper haven
#

Which is why I feel that world eaters are the most relatable chaos faction

sacred ginkgo
#

“Wait you guys have melodramatic reasoning? I just joined chaos because I like killing people”

wintry scarab
#

In SM2 the dreadnoughts constantly mutter to themselves. Thats basically showing that they are slowly losing it, right?

storm jungle
#

Yeah it is

#

the primaris dreads are legit awful

wintry scarab
#

Cool detail

paper haven
#

There was a meme I once saw about picking your chaos marine companion.
The world eater was like:
He's really pissed off
He will kill everyone
Two axes
One day he will remove his helmet and tell you the truth
The truth will make you really pissed off.

storm jungle
#

Honestly not too far from the Murder Curse

opaque coyote
#

But not good at

#

actually preserving them

#

and their minds

#

Thanks Cawl

paper haven
#

The hell brute execution has you pull the marine out of the machine and rip his head off

opaque coyote
#

But I want to save money

#

Also hotfixes

#

Also I'm not even sure if it can run on my pc

#

Okay if I can run darktide at low to medium I can run SM2 right?

paper haven
#

I was on the fence but it really nails down the atmosphere of 40k

opaque coyote
paper haven
#

I have serious lag spikes and I can technically run it on high settings

dusk patrol
#

The Carnifex one is so scrappy too

#

Literally pinning down its claw with its other claw

opaque coyote
#

Being a Hellbrute fucking sucks

paper haven
#

My man Titus 1 v 1 a carnifex and obliterates it

dusk patrol
#

And the Neurothrope one, shanking it to death with its own talon

gray umbra
#

Sm2 has a lot of badass moments

#

One involving a dreadnaught

dusk patrol
#

Also the lictor ones are great

paper haven
#

But no hive tyrant execution

paper haven
#

Shameful

dusk patrol
#

Mfw I shank a Lictor with its own talon

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

Yeah

#

I used the lictor to destroy the lictor

paper haven
#

Said it before but Lictors are horrifying

dusk patrol
#

They are

#

Spooky as fuck

paper haven
#

I'd rather fight a carnifex

gray umbra
#

Brother i am pinned here

#

Mashing q and e

paper haven
#

As a guardsman

dusk patrol
plush mason
#

the only warning you get a lictor is there is the literally quick time event to dodge it's pounce

paper haven
#

Catachan devils casually fighting Lictors

#

And they're like: "what the hell is a lictor?"

gray umbra
#

I love a lot of the thousand sons executions

paper haven
#

Realistically you only kill about a squad of actual chaos marines throughout the game

plush mason
#

the boot for the tzangor is great

dusk patrol
#

The terminator one where he just punches its head then rips it off is funny

gray umbra
#

Gotta break open the pinata

#

Or when you stab a sorcerer with their own staff

paper haven
#

I like that the dust sprays out and is colorful it reminds me of confetti

#

Like: What's in the mystery box? Ah! It's soul dust again?

plush mason
#

hopefully they add a greater sorcerer so the ksons will have 2 bosses

sacred ginkgo
#

Mod that plays the halo confetti kills skull sound whenever you kill one

gray umbra
#

I can double check the roadmap but did they mention anything about expansions to sm2?

paper haven
#

Rubricae birthday skull

dusk patrol
gray umbra
#

Kind of curious to see titus and that one guy get a proper closure

dusk patrol
#

Horde mode

#

For story not confirmed yet

#

But I think it’s likely

#

The way the campaign ends

#

Feels like it’s setting up stuff

paper haven
#

Aka dick head

dusk patrol
#

The funny thing is everything thinking he’s a dick when he’s basically just a good chaplain

paper haven
#

Aka hall monitor

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

Chaplains job is to be overly suspicious and cautious

opaque coyote
paper haven
opaque coyote
#

But in general he actually does do his job

languid meadow
#

God I really want to fight some (ACT 3 spoilers for space marine 2) ||necrons since one of the worlds is a tomb world||

plush mason
dusk patrol
gray umbra
#

I think for his history, the fact he recommended titus for the job shows some remorse. I just want to see it play out

winter vessel
dusk patrol
#

||He is now ||

paper haven
opaque coyote
# dusk patrol

Also the fact that he took off the helmet is technically against the codex

dusk patrol
opaque coyote
#

which is funny

paper haven
#

Plus at the time he wasn't a chaplain

dusk patrol
#

They’re allowed to it’s just not common

paper haven
#

You don't get to retroactively make a mistake justified because you changed your job

opaque coyote
winter vessel
# dusk patrol

I feel like he knows his own errors at this point, but refuses to admit it, he'll take it to his grave before he lets Titus hear that

opaque coyote
#

So basically a dick

#

But he does his job at least

plush mason
dusk patrol
#

He’s also said Titus is absolved largely still

gray umbra
#

He sure can preach too

dusk patrol
#

He just will always be watching him

#

And yeah he’s genuinely a good chaplain

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

The squad has major issues

#

He should be

gray umbra
#

I mean tbf titus does some sketchy shit

paper haven
#

Even more insane is that Leandros knows the artefact is dangerous

plush mason
#

also if he knows about the inquisitor he handed Titus too im sure he feels more than a little remorse

dusk patrol
#

They almost kill eachother at one point

#

Titus’s whole arrival is very very irregular

gray umbra
#

Chairon has some major anger issues in that one mission too

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

gray umbra
#

Like actually stupid behavior

dusk patrol
#

Like legit he should have been more up their ass

paper haven
#

He saw what it can do himself but when Titus is all: we gotta destroy it he tells Titus to shut the fuck up and follow orders

dusk patrol
#

Yes cause that’s their job

#

The primarch sanctioned it

plush mason
#

seems the dude was actually controlled by a daemon and had 1000s of space marines locked up in statis, the grey knights killed him and freed them all and thats how Titus ended up in the death watch

dusk patrol
#

Titus didn’t know what was gonna happen really

plush mason
#

Titus chose to become a black shield out of shame

paper haven
#

Yeah, but the chaplains job of being suspicious doesn't seem to extend past his own company?

dusk patrol
#

He can’t defy the primarch

#

He is in charge of his own men

paper haven
#

Leandros knew for a fact that the artefact was heretical

dusk patrol
#

Not the primarch and chapter master

dusk patrol
paper haven
dusk patrol
#

The entire operation was given by Guilliman himself

#

And signed off by him

paper haven
#

If his job is to keep his brothers on the straight and narrow, then it was his responsibility to speak up

dusk patrol
#

And he did

#

When it became an issue

paper haven
#

Even to the primarch

gray umbra
#

It takes a lot to question even just your chapter master

dusk patrol
#

Everyone has limits to their authority

paper haven
#

Duty is duty

dusk patrol
#

And also Titus had no proof really

gray umbra
#

Kyras corrupted a shit ton of blood ravens before they decided to turn on him

scenic bolt
#

it didnt read to me that guilliman was aware of the artifacts heretical origin more that the mechanicus approached him saying hey we got a super weapon we want you to help us secure

dusk patrol
#

He just had a feeling

#

It was worth the risk

#

That’s really it

paper haven
#

Or do we just ignore that when the chapter master says so?

gray umbra
#

Theres nuance to it

dusk patrol
#

Orders change

gray umbra
#

But generally no

dusk patrol
#

Titus didn’t have that authority

#

And no proof

#

Just a feeling

gray umbra
#

Yeah

winter vessel
#

felt bad for Gadriel being sidelined at the start when his command was given to Titus. And didn't help at all stating the obvious, Chairon.

dusk patrol
#

Titus happened to be right

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

He easily could have been wrong

dusk patrol
plush mason
#

i doubt any of them knew the power source was the same one from Gria, after all everyone believed it destroyed

dusk patrol
#

They knew it was dangerous

#

It was if it was worth the price

paper haven
plush mason
#

nah

#

again everyone thought it had be destoryed

scenic bolt
#

under those circumstances it'd be reasonable for titus to assume guilliman wouldnt sanction it if he knew it was chaos artifact so taking his own initiative on the matter, contrasted with leandros still holding to the orders are orders never question through lines from the first game

dusk patrol
#

They let Titus send the message to Guilliman too

#

It’s not like they didn’t let him express concerns

#

But they’re not gonna change the entire campaigns purpose because he has a bad feeling

crisp heath
#

I've been working so I haven't had time to space some marines yet T-T

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

Arguably it would have worked too if the hadn’t flipped the polarity

dusk patrol
#

They still let him send it

#

It’s a mix of trust but always making it clear how he’s on thin ice

#

Hell they made him a fucking lieutenant

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

There’s a lot of trust given him

crisp heath
#

Are they still just calling it The Power Source or did they decide its a Duracelium Batteria or smthn

dusk patrol
#

And frankly he causes some huge issues which happen to work out

gray umbra
#

Theres a lot that indicates leandros knows titus can get shit done, its just done in his douchey way of saying dont fuck it up

dusk patrol
#

Like once again

#

He’s a chaplain

dusk patrol
#

He’s not there to reassure

#

He’s there to be a dick and be suspicious and also make to clear to Titus how thin of ice he’s on

#

Which he is

#

He’s a good chaplain

#

A good chaplain isn’t gonna be a fun dude to be around

paper haven
#

The chaplain was in a position to prevent the catastrophe. Even if he didn't know beforehand that the device was heretical, once Titus found out he should have backed him up

dusk patrol
#

Marines do not want to need to talk to their chaplains

winter vessel
#

its like talking to HR

dusk patrol
#

His duty is to his direct marines

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

No it’s not

#

Guilliman signed off on it, it’s the purpose of the campaign

#

The imperium uses heretical stuff all the time

paper haven
#

And Guilliman was wrong

dusk patrol
#

Yes which they found out after it didn’t work

#

Chaplain is outside of the chain of command for that reason

dusk patrol

It did work chaos just engineered it to not

paper haven
#

Chaos was involved from the start

#

It was heresy all the way down

dusk patrol
#

Yes which they didn’t know until later.

paper haven
#

But they learned of the chaos connection through titus

dusk patrol
#

Titus happened to be right, they didn’t know that until the machine failed because the dude was tricked

paper haven
#

Well before things went wrong

dusk patrol
#

Also the machine did work

#

The whole thing I imagine is connected to Cawls pylon experiments

paper haven
#

It solved the problem it created

crystal forum

apparently my job's wifi makes my phone think i'm in the US so i can access more content

dusk patrol
#

The benefit was worth the risk

crystal forum
#

how peculiar

dusk patrol
#

The pylons in general often backfire but it’s still something they’re pursuing hard

paper haven
dusk patrol
#

That’s how risks work

#

Sometimes you don’t get the benefit, but it’s still a risk worth taking

paper haven
#

All it would have taken is someone vouching for Titus, like, say a chaplain with direct knowledge of the device and it's origin

winter vessel
#

but those obelisks don't operate the same way the Pillars did on Cadia right?

gray umbra
#

Its still word of mouth

dusk patrol
#

Or very similar

#

Same concept

paper haven
#

Chaplains word carries a lot of weight

winter vessel
#

just on a more isolated scale, then

dusk patrol
#

For that event at least yeah

#

They never actually say Necron in the entire game

#

Or mention them

#

We know obviously but

paper haven
#

Titus speaks about the Necron but I don't think he ever names them

#

Just vaguely says that he read about them

dusk patrol
#

Most of the primaris dudes would be super young also

rocky gale
#

He calls it a tomb world when they go down the elevator

dusk patrol
#

The sgt hadn’t even fought Nids or chaos before

dusk patrol
#

Which is ironic of course

winter vessel
#

if there were 'crons sleeping on that planet, it'd be funny if they woke up to the aftermath. "tf happened here?"

rocky gale
#

Huh

gray umbra
#

They did mention a new enemy in s3

#

So maybe

dusk patrol
#

I wouldn’t be shocked

gray umbra
#

I can see it being necrons

dusk patrol
#

Feels like it would make sense

spring cairn
#

a new enemy not a new faction imo

rocky gale
gray umbra
#

I want to hope its necrons or orks

crystal forum

can't fight the necrons because that would be an actually interesting enemy

at least the necrons being bullet sponges would be lore accurate...

LOL

dusk patrol
#

We also have meltas being stopped by tzangor shields

storm jungle

yeah but thats a game issue

dusk patrol

There’s always gameplay mechanics

As cool as Necrons be, can you imagine fighting enemies with reanimation protocols

I never enjoy limited ammo guns

its not just melta 🙁

I appreciate the variety in bolters but some of them just feel redundant

you got 4 whole meta weapons

it is primaris equipment

I feel like we don't really need the normal carbine when we have the oculus version

I feel like stalker bolt rifle has so little ammo for ops it's insane
And it's good, that's the worst part

gray umbra

Spraying 3 whole ass mags of bolter smg into a rubric marine to get a execute

it takes 22 heavy bolter headshots to kill a ruthless rubric

paper haven

Also, I like the new weapons in SM2

spring cairn
#

rubric ceramite is the strongest in the world !

Sniper is amazing rn, the main issue is just some bolters need to be improved and the leveling of them is annoying

multi melta is good until a carnifex appears

then you're doing melee

dusk patrol

It’s still good then

storm jungle

yeah its a carnifex

#

the fuck do you want

#

lmao

crystal forum
#

you run out of ammo is the one problem

winter vessel
#

I just run a tactical with the standard bolt rifle and keep plugging the dustboys head with my gunfire, can do it with one bolt round left in the mag

storm jungle
#

well better find a ammo box

#

🤓

#

skill issue clearly

languid meadow
#

I rather fight 2 billion carnies than fight one neuronthrope

#

I do not like zoans and their kin

gray umbra
#

Parrying a carnifex makes you a god until you fuck up and lost all yoir armor and 3/4 of your hp

dusk patrol
#

Also that’s why there’s two other teammate slots

scenic bolt
#

the main problem with the bullet sponge issue is that the game is made for consoles so bullet sponge enemies are the compromise against having console melting horde density with same total hp pool but spread among more models

paper haven
#

I don't like how you seem to have a realistic amount of ammo but you don't seem to do realistic amounts of damage

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Tactical is super slept on

The scan bonus it gets eventually is absurd

Melta is the easy answer

just dodge

its not this chat's fault you just strawman it yourself

dusk patrol

Yes theres issues, yes bolters need a buff and other things need to be adjusted.

Its also an issue of people not knowing how to horde control properly and not playing as a team.

idk why people act like most of the systems are just perfect and its the player's fault for bad enemy mechanics

winter vessel

Sure, I can retreat, pull the tzasngors down a narrow corridor where I can easily thin their numbers with grenades and then fight without cultist snipers and rubric marines shooting at me but that's not fun

hallow plover

Let the devs do their thing

storm jungle

knowing WWZ devs

spring cairn
#

i don't think they'll change this

storm jungle
#

its gonna be awhile

dusk patrol
#

Based off the issues people have had, yeah it seems to be a lot of that.

storm jungle
#

yeah what lambda said

#

like it took them ages to do balance changes to WWZ

#

and most of them were bad

spring cairn
#

the counter to bullet sponges is to have more enemies on the screen

crystal forum

i wish the leg squeeze machine went past 200 lbs

and that ain't happening

It's just a skill issue anyways

These guys made WWZ? That explains a lot

Its also possible you don't like this kinda game.

yeah so amazing to mag dump

dusk patrol

Which is also fine.

paper haven

Specifically the part where tyrannids start climbing up walls

dusk patrol

But yeah its why Saber was chosen partially.

they used a lot of the same deal.

paper haven
#

I saw that and thought: Oh I know how to deal with this

#

And started shooting at the base

storm jungle

you are just needlessly defending again features that arent fun

spamming "skill issue" doesnt help anyone lol

If I didnt like the game id have dropped it already

paper haven

The game is great, the balance is way off

storm jungle

It does if your only response to losing is "OMG THIS IS UNFAIR AND IT SUCKS AND I CANT WIN"

storm jungle
#

Like id understand

#

if it was just me complaining

but a lot of people are

dusk patrol
#

The game has systems to deal with this stuff.

and this stupid elitist half just saying "skill issue" to everything is annoying as fuck

personally i'm not saying i can't win

it's just bad

well alright that works too

That's your opinion and thats fine, but thats not whats being said.

I'm simple minded. this is the most fun i've had since purchasing a new game.

In a long awhile

when it works its great

I know the systems, I know what works. I also know what should work but doesn't

I don't think its perfect, I think a lot of adjustments need to be made.

it's bad game design

That's according to you

I could say the same for Darktide and Vermintide

And according to the game systems themself.

dusk patrol
#

Its way more fun to just charge into the horde.

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

How?

winter vessel
#

I ain't taking the bait, jay.

storm jungle
#

Because in those you can actually properly manage hordes and master the combat mechanic normally by just playing

in this its like

If I don't enjoy having to kite around the horde and always be defensive and block and have perfect area control.

It clearly wants you to focus on melee against hoards of enemies with ranged attacks to pick off ranged enemies and specialist weapons for minibosses

it's like if it took me 5 autogun mag to dispatch a scav gunner

winter vessel
# crystal forum mine's heavy

I interchange between vanguard, tactical, and bulwark in that order. and heavy if i want to play on lower difficulties. Assault and sniper i make the most out of the situation.

crystal forum
spring cairn
#

seems fair to me

storm jungle
#

I meant in support of what you said whoops

paper haven
#

But the weapon balance forces you into melee in situations where you would be mulched with dark souls style dodge spamming which is clearly not the intention

storm jungle
#

in tide games you can also actually get out of situations by thinking and doing proper stuff, it also helps that even the most basic weapons actually fucking do damage
