Got it

#

He was fighting for a while

dusk patrol
#

He has 99 willpower and free re rolls

crystal forum
#

also elite knowing the names of side side characters is peak wolf

arctic talon
#

A warrior getting his ass makes sense

dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

I only remember the space wolf dude

#

Lol

#

Because I was wondering if it was ulfar from RT

dusk patrol
#

I can’t recall any of the others either tbh

shadow plover
#

Ulfar was probably the only one who's name was said

dusk patrol
#

Yeah

arctic talon
#

Since the voice is very similar

storm jungle
#

Ulfar

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

not to be confused with Ulfar

dusk patrol
#

But it’s a brief bit

arctic talon
#

Ulfar the everlost

crystal forum
#

ulfar this bussy

storm jungle
#

STOP

shadow plover
#

that doesn't even mean anything

queen laurel
#

Ulfar thunderlungs

dusk patrol
#

It’s a, very “standard deathwatch” chapter.

All four first founding big four chapters and Black Templars

shadow plover
#

Ulfar Thunderthighs

crystal forum
queen laurel
#

I hate that shark though

dusk patrol
#

It’s the joke with DW RPing is trying to make a deathwatch game that’s not half first founding

storm jungle
#

Anyway the entire animation was dogwater because the cultists were using primaris boltpistols

#

fucking unbelievable

#

TRASH

arctic talon
#

That’s not even that weird

arctic talon
#

They prolly just killed some primaris

#

Or stole it

#

Boltgun is boltgun

dusk patrol
#

Legendary cultist loot

queen laurel
#

Definitely stole it

storm jungle
arctic talon
dusk patrol
#

He’s got big hands

#

Don’t be jealous smh

arctic talon
#

Wait no he isn’t

#

Nvm

crystal forum
#

boltgun is clearly ignored because it's not about OUR BELOVED PRIMARIS

dusk patrol
#

Well, had big hands

arctic talon
#

I need to make this an emote

crystal forum
#

boltgun would have made number 1 best seller of 2021 if it has primaris

dusk patrol
#

Mirror the skull

arctic talon
#

I’m not good at photoshop

crystal forum
#

it'll look bad

#

i can already tell

arctic talon
#

I will stand by that

dusk patrol
#

Not wrong

arctic talon
#

It’s a doom clone but it’s not even that good of a doom clone

dusk patrol
#

It’s got some good memes but

arctic talon
#

Missing several core features

#

And with atrocious balancing

dusk patrol
#

Boomer shooters also largely suck

arctic talon
#

This is true

dusk patrol
#

I’ll die on that hill

crystal forum
#

it got attention because it came out during a drought of 40k content

arctic talon
#

But I’d rather fight the doom 2 archvile

shadow plover
#

Boltgun was fine

arctic talon
#

Then another lord of change

dusk patrol
#

“Oh wow I wanna play a game based off a game from 30 years ago”

arctic talon
#

Wolfenstien 2 is worse then 1

#

Gameplay wise

crystal forum
#

i do get bored very easily when playing doomer shooters

arctic talon
#

So squishy in 2

dusk patrol
#

That being said it wasn’t awful but

shadow plover
arctic talon
#

Idk the chainsword is literally unusable

#

On exterminatus

#

Lol

dusk patrol
#

Most boomer shooters feel like

arctic talon
#

No

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Better FPS doom

arctic talon
#

Exterminatus is horribly balanced

crystal forum
#

it's weird because doom itself activates all my joy receptors

dusk patrol
#

But also it’s possible it’s just not my thing

arctic talon
#

That’s kind of silly imo

shadow plover
#

probably

crystal forum
#

i love doom but doomer shooters bore me

arctic talon
#

For a boomer shooter

dusk patrol
#

I’m glad people enjoy them

arctic talon
#

You’d expect the highest difficulty to be the one the game was balanced around

#

Different stokes for different folks

dusk patrol
#

Hopefully Mechanicus 2 will be good

storm jungle
#

It has admech and necrons

#

its impossible to not be good

arctic talon
shadow plover
storm jungle
#

you can also play as the actually good faction

arctic talon
#

Doom 2 is just fucked up

#

Because of the archvile

crystal forum
shadow plover
#

Necron supremacy chadcron

dusk patrol
arctic talon
queen laurel
# dusk patrol Better FPS doom

I mean with proper execution a boomer shooter can work well but sometimes it's better to just you know innovate like ultra kill

arctic talon
#

But all your tools are good

arctic talon
#

Aside from like the plasma ig

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

Not when you have a BFG

#

The pistol is a good plinker

crystal forum
#

there has rarely been any game that has balanced guns as well as doom did

arctic talon
#

Mini gun shreds

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

Shotgun is an enemy deleted

dusk patrol
#

Just like irl

arctic talon
#

Plasma gun is plinker mk2 except it’s bad since it shares an ammo pool with the BFG

#

Which is a shame

crystal forum
#

probably because DOOM never had to fit any rule of cool FPS standards

arctic talon
#

Since it’s really fucking fun to use

arctic talon
#

That’s doom 64

queen laurel
#

The fancy gun you get if you complete the challenge

arctic talon
#

And also the unmaykyr is broken on purpose

#

In doom eternal it sucks ass

#

It’s literally terrible

#

Doom eternals weapon sandbox sucks

#

When around half the variants are terrible

#

And they just bandaid it with special enemies

queen laurel
#

Yep

shadow plover

Eternal hate will not be tolerated nogryn

arctic talon

But it’s weapon sandbox does suck imo

oh wait

dusk patrol

Jay hate is more in season this time of year

shadow plover

Only thing I hate are haters cool

Auto shotgun, micro missiles, microwave beam, mobile turret are all objectively terrible

queen laurel
dusk patrol
arctic talon
#

True!

#

Doom 2016’s sandbox is actually super well balanced until you get the Gauss cannon

#

Then it’s just

#

Gauss cannon the game

shadow plover
#

change made

arctic talon
#

Siege mode is super balanced

dusk patrol
#

Hey

#

Sometimes I use shotgun

arctic talon
#

Lol

#

Fair

dusk patrol
#

Or rocket jump

storm jungle
#

"why is Eternal taking itself so seriously"

#

THE MAIN CHARACTER

LITERALLY LIVES ON A FUCKING ASTEROID

CALLED THE FORTRESS OF DOOM

HE HAS A FUCKING LIBRARY

Do you think there’s people in AoS who thinks the realms are round

dusk patrol

Round realmers

Fucking dumbasses

queen laurel

F*** me man

arctic talon

Why are yous talking about yaoi

storm jungle

Prison Break minus its dated features is legit such a great show

every episode is a cockpunch

dusk patrol

Hank Hill would never say any of those words

shadow plover

is it that green dog from mario

dusk patrol

Well, he might says them

dusk patrol

But he wouldn’t know what they mean

Boys' love (BL), a genre of male-male homoerotic media originating in Japan that is created primarily by and for women, has a robust global fandom. Individuals in the BL fandom may attend conventions, maintain/post to fansites, create fanfiction/fanart, etc. In the mid-1990s, estimates of the size of the Japanese BL fandom were at 100,000 to 500...

They are basically super fans for gay relationships between men

rocky gale

Na

queen laurel

To be fair i wouldn't be surprised if Dilara was

A Fujoshi is a woman who's obsessed with gay men

FUCK WHERES MY CHEAT SHEET

queen laurel

Just leave the space marines

dusk patrol

Dilara likes space wolves

you could've just said Brother, you just dig deeper

TBF Fujoshi is a more specialist term

storm jungle

yaoi hands was a pretty large meme back in the day

#

learned it from that

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Unfortunately

#

I have seen too much

storm jungle
#

Also they get mentined in soul hunter!!!

#

IMPORTANT

shadow plover
#

yaois?

storm jungle

NO YOU FUCKING-

I learned about Fujoshi from an anime about a Fujoshi

shadow plover
rocky gale
#

It was pretty funny

storm jungle
#

But nah S.Confessors are deffo canon even if half their shit comes from tournmanet stuff

#

The Steel Confessors are a Space Marine Chapter.[3]

There is not much verifiable information on the Steel Confessors Space Marines Chapter (see Notes below). They are however referred to as the "crippled Steel Confessors Chapter" and Talos Valcoran, the Soulhunter, had taken a salvaged replacement thigh guard for his own damaged Power armour fr...

I DO love how half their images is just

#

some dude's photos

dusk patrol
#

Lexi is uh

storm jungle
rocky gale
#

It was reverse harem so she had like 6 guys in love with her trying to win her heart but because she was fujoshi she was trying to make them fall in love with eachother instead

storm jungle
#

wait i think i might be mixing them up with another Confessors chapter

dusk patrol
#

I remember we went on a deep dive of what they actually are mentioned in

#

On the Iron Hands server

queen laurel
shadow plover
#

it's pretty wild how few DA successors there are

storm jungle
#

they are like the only IH successor with a cool scheme dont do this

dusk patrol
#

I can’t recall what the conclusion was but largely we don’t know much if they do exist

storm jungle
#

also just how many fucking cum-banks the ultramarines have

shadow plover
#

this is just weak

storm jungle
queen laurel
rocky gale
#

Yess

queen laurel
#

Yeah don't ask how i know

dusk patrol
queen laurel
#

Because i will cave in your skull

shadow plover
storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

Iron Lords I like too, Red Talons are simple but it works

#

They get pants

storm jungle
dusk patrol
#

This implies all other chapters are wearing onesies

#

And thus Iron Lords are the Chads

rocky gale
#

Anime's will have the strangest plot/premise known to man and then somehow turn it into peak fiction

dusk patrol
#

Or the best hook ever and it just turns into a shitty harem anime

rocky gale
#

Oh yea or that

storm jungle
#

I hate it

#

stop shoving frieren in my face everywhere I go

#

im gonna explode

rocky gale
#

Claymore remake when

storm jungle
#

Never

#

hopefully

rocky gale
#

Please

#

Please!

shadow plover
#

remember when I said I only hate haters, I lied

rocky gale
#

The anime fucked it up, give it another chance please

shadow plover
#

I hate anime

dusk patrol
storm jungle
#

I only like anime thats actually good

#

like warhammer 40,000

shadow plover
#

correct

queen laurel
#

Either it's peak or not

shadow plover
#

it doesn't risk flashing you with random teenager's panty shot

queen laurel
storm jungle
shadow plover
#

they're not panties nor teenagers

storm jungle
#

yeah sorry firstborns are the ones with panties

shadow plover
#

oh hell yeah space diapers

storm jungle
#

AAA-

shadow plover
#

just like john halo

hallow saddle
#

knights of byzantium and steel confessors are a similar tier of canonicity

theyre both fanfic chapters that kinda got legitimized

both cool

they both appear often in successor chapter lists for IH

#

Todays 40k question for a lore newbie like me

#

Abaddon comes along to check on his Chaos army, or Chaos that we face in Darktide. Do Karnak twins bow or kneel, do they show any sense of reverance of being in Abaddons presence ?

Or is it very much a "no one cares about ranks here just go and kill" situation

celest dome
#

Abaddon would be able to command respect, in the same manner that a SM Chapter Master would for the Imperial Guard

#

But it's more might make right than anything else

tight stratus
#

Yes, I guess for me, Chaos having some form of order even amongst its own ranks to know its leader and bow before its leader, shows some form of order. Which usually wouldn't be unusual if it wasn't Chaos

rocky gale
#

Wouldn't really call it order or respect for rank

#

Abaddon is a powerful guy

#

Disrespecting powerful guys is a good way to get turned into a smear

celest dome
#

Exactly

gray umbra
#

Black legion is one of the only groups able to manage some form of coherency. He usually has to convince independent warbands to work alongside him for whatever objective hes proposing

#

Most of the time they break off to do their own thing after said objective is completed or betray him in some way during it

rose thorn
#

hey whats school like in the imperium

arctic talon
#

Black Legion, Word bearers, and the death guard are the CSM Legions still with intact stuff

rose thorn
#

whats the educatoin standards

arctic talon
#

kids go to work

arctic talon
#

not just for academic success but for physical fitness as well

gray umbra
#

Schola Progenium badminton courses go hard

rose thorn
#

is that the one that only accept orphans who kill each other

arctic talon
#

you learn high gothic, you learn imperial laws, regulations, stuff relating to your future job

arctic talon
#

the killing orphans part only happens if they end up in the Scions, Comissar or SoB courses

#

then they get funny live fire drills

rose thorn
#

oh okay

arctic talon
#

where the punishment for being too slow is getting shot

tight stratus
#

Just like Nottingham honestly

tough haven
#

the imperium if anyone could go to school besides orphans

arctic talon
#

but for roles like Scribes, Clerks, ect. those orphans don't get shot at

#

well

#

they do get shot at

#

but they don't get shot or killed

#

usually

rose thorn
#

so how is the guard like

#

literate lmao

arctic talon
#

they aren't

#

generally before joining LOL

tough haven
arctic talon
#

they get taught literacy in the PDF

#

generally

rose thorn
#

lmao ah

arctic talon
#

or when they're recruited up and being trained

tough haven
#

Me when I need more government workers but I dont have enough orphans

rose thorn
#

isnt becoming literate as an adult significantly\ harder?

arctic talon
#

Yes

#

granted being fully literate isn't like super uncommon

#

most people in the imperium fall into semi literate territory

#

where their parents/fellow workers/the ecclisarchy

#

teaches them some basic stuff

#

when they're children

hallow saddle
#

i think even to chaos it'd be like "oh shit this guy"

arctic talon
#

Abbadon is literally like

#

a mythical being in the imperium

hallow saddle
#

he'd order them to do something

arctic talon
#

almost like a living anti christ

hallow saddle
#

and they'd know they either do it or they're killed

arctic talon
#

remember, saying abbadons name is considered terrible luck on many imperial worlds

#

lol

hallow saddle
#

even then just the physical presence of him

arctic talon
#

yeah he's fucking huge

hallow saddle
#

the unfuckwithable energy of the dude

rocky gale
gray umbra
#

Yeah i mean any csm warband could probably show up in atoma and start bossing people around

#

Abaddon especially

#

Generally dont want to fuck with 7m tall thiccboys

hallow saddle
#

as soon as the ship appeared over the planet it'd be clear something serious is gonna happen

rocky gale
#

Like my granda left school to work and didn't learn to read until later on but for some reason he could just never learn to write

tight stratus
#

Being brought up in a fundementalist cult we were always taught to "Fear" God, but Fearing god was not explained as "youre gonna shit your pants son" it was seen a respectful commendable thing to do to Fear Him.

I imagine its the same way but less context in 40k of saying "oh no its just showing respect" its kneel and not die, we're not sugar coating it kid

hallow saddle
#

thats interesting

#

he'd be more like jesus i guess

#

rather than god

tight stratus
#

Does Abaddon see himself as second though?

hallow saddle
#

i guess most ppl would kneel before jesus if he appeared with his halo and shit

#

no but he does know there are 4 chaos gods

arctic talon
#

he's not that egotistical

#

man has a huge ego but he's not that ego driven

hallow saddle
#

like his relationship with the chaos gods is almost political at this point

#

cause the gods will directly juice someone up if they think it'll benefit them, so he's sort of playing them off in exchange for power

#

and ultimately he has a goal which is destroy the imperium

#

so the gods can help him a lot towards that

tight stratus
#

I think someone said the other day that Abaddon believe he can't be puppeteer'd and thats why hes so useful to Chaos God's because they're doing just that

hallow saddle
#

yeah theres a big element of that for sure

arctic talon
#

he's def being controlled by the chaos gods to an extent

hallow saddle
#

that is sort of what chaos undivided is about

arctic talon
#

the same way Archeon is lol

#

though Archeon makes his disdain for the gods like

#

100x more public

#

and says he's going to kill them

hallow saddle
#

ii think he knows he's in this weird mutually beneficial arrangement with the gods

tight stratus
#

Not heard of Archeon before, reading up now

hallow saddle
#

it only really works cause they all want to destroy the imperium, if he wanted something completely different or something entirely self-serving i dont think he'd have got nearly as far with them

tight stratus
#

ah I see, quite the debate online with whose stronger, Archeon or Abaddon haha

gray umbra
#

Archaon is pretty baller

tight stratus
#

his mount does look metal

arctic talon
#

Archeon is an WHFB/AoS character

#

who's based on Abbadon ironically

tight stratus
#

I wish there was this much depth and lore about Daemonhosts, my first toedipping was to do with them and the article was woefully small compared to these

hallow saddle
#

read eisenhorn for some daemonhost action

#

but yeah this is what warhammer lore is like haha

#

abaddon is the main bad guy of the setting in warhammer 40k

#

theres a ton of worldbuilding but most of that lore is going to come from small vignettes in codexes or white dwarf articles

#

so there'll only be bits here and there

#

and also bear in mind it's all essentially tie-in fiction

tight stratus
#

Yes, I've heard that any lore to do with 40k is usually told from an unreliable perspective

hallow saddle
#

the stuff in eisenhorn about daemonhosts was there because there was a daemonhost model in the 54mm inquisitor game that GW did

#

so that's more or less the only source of the lore. eisenhorn, which was tie-in fiction for that game, and then the game rulebook

tight stratus
#

interesting

hallow saddle
#

which probably had just a couple paras about daemonhosts, then rules for it

#

(ive not read it)

#

oh, and ultimately i think it all comes from a piece of art by john blanche for the game

tight stratus
#

you cant even get new daemenhost models apparently even tho you can still play them, out of production and the ones that you can get from ebay are the old ones that look very dated

hallow saddle
#

i believe they re-released eisenhorn and those models in smaller scale to go with warhammer 40k, some time after they cancelled Inquisitor. they're old finecast models

#

could be wrong on when they came out though

#

and like the guys at games worshop, the writers and sculptors and painters etc were making their own models and some of those probably made it in to the lore

#

i think there were few official models and lots of them were conversions and custom sculpted etc

#

anyway im yapping

#

i guess my point is most of the lore is just made up on a game-by-game basis

#

so for daemonhosts, theyre used as a character in what's essentially a tabletop roleplaying game, so its not so much about drawing from a huge pool of background, it's more about making up your own stories and having it be a part of a narrative experience you're having with friends

#

"this is a character, here's a tiny bit of background to get your imagination going, have fun"

dusk patrol
#

40 K and the systems are inherently built to where a lot of times there doesn’t have to be only one way for something to happen

#

We just see a general version to simplify things and for easier, portrayals for art and models

shell mason
#

so you saying havoc mode is gonna be here til Jan 7?

hallow saddle
#

this is cool

#

redemptor dreads, but also oldschool razorbacks

#

no fandangly primaris tanks

#

i cant work out if the standing figures are space marines or crew & chapter serfs or what

dusk patrol
#

Looks likes redemptors among them so I assume its the full company.

#

Company and crew

hallow saddle
#

badass

#

gotta say its amazing to see the ultramarines 2nd company lined up like that in a shot that's as cool as that

#

the most warhammer 40k poster boys in a single image

young pecan
#

Who up jolly asl rn

languid meadow
#

me since secret level came out

tough haven
opaque coyote
#

also

dusk patrol
#

I’m sure they’ll issue retractions anyday now

storm jungle
#

saving that one

opaque coyote
#

Also

I just learned a fact

#

For Transformers One there was a scene where Bumblebee finds out and exclaims that he has knife hands

#

In the UK

#

And EXCLUSIVELY THE UK

#

It was redubbed to Swordhands

#

Due to the rampant Knife Violence in Britain

#

...

storm jungle
#

they've been doing that for years yeah

#

they renamed the Teenage Mutant NINJA Turtles to Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles once

opaque coyote
#

I find that really funny.

#

Then again, America has movies made about Columbine

#

So maybe we're delving deep into the other end

storm jungle
#

Its another case of adults not really realising kids love violence

#

they will always get exposed eventually, its pretty dumb

opaque coyote
#

Problem is that my teachers were concerned over me uh

#

Drawing sword fights and having the characters die a bloody death

storm jungle
#

Yeah most assume you got sociopathic tendencies from that when the reality is "nah it just looks cool I know its fiction dingus"

opaque coyote
#

And also consuming

"1000000 lbs of cocaine"

#

I didn't even know what cocaine looked like. All I knew was that it was a drug.

#

It was like a fucking water tank of liquid cocaine

#

...

#

Measured in pounds

storm jungle
#

Its the same with warhammer too

opaque coyote
#

Real

storm jungle
#

GW tries to kinda censor what the lore-accurate depictions of actual war like are in the setting so many times since the target audience is kids

#

when in relaity no a space marine ripping apart some cultist in gory detail is cool

opaque coyote
#

Like

#

How tf were they gonna explain Servitors

storm jungle
#

instead of like uh

#

a child having her head blown off by a lasgun shot

#

thats for Pariah Nexus which is BASED

opaque coyote
#

Tbf there are some kids books that are hilariously violent

#

Y'know the Warrior Cats series

#

Like I always heard Girls talk about it back in like elementary to middle.

I recently checked it out

#

There is so much cat murder

#

Orphan cat murder

storm jungle
#

Clone Wars is probably the top choice

#

but thats a show that also matured with its growing audience

opaque coyote
#

Ffs Transformers One literally has Megatron rip Sentinel in half.

Seriously if that was human, it would be rated M

storm jungle
#

Its themes are even better

#

💀

opaque coyote
#

"AAAAGHHHHH MINERS!!!"

storm jungle
#

💀

#

"You really were a good miner."

opaque coyote
#

Bro imagine Dark wing waking up and seeing that the two cogless robots he threw down the trash chute became the equivalent of

#

Jesus

#

And

#

A terrorist leader

queen laurel
opaque coyote
#

Lmao

#

But yeah also true

#

The kid looked hyped tho

#

Absolutely starry eyed

#

Before it got covered

Did… did the latest balance slate just nerf GSC?

queen laurel
shadow plover
#

Isn't GSC dominating in the comp scene at the moment

storm jungle
#

Bald superiority?

plush mason
#

like the silverwing books literally open with the bats being attacked and their home burned to the ground and most of them killed

#

all because the main character got caught flying in the daytime by an owl

queen laurel
#

@celest dome can you use runes to make a magic powered flintlock pistol in warhammer fantasy and aos?

celest dome
#

I don't think they're that far yet, you could have rune projectiles, but bullets are still difficult to etch in runes, due to their sizes

#

Like Dwarf use rune projectiles on the catapults

#

But those are big enough

queen laurel
#

But if you want to use it without magic nearby you need to supply it with your own

celest dome
#

well, there are object that contain spells

#

You could do one in the shape of a gun

#

But you would be under the same rules as before

#

So you get limited X spells per day, and need to wait to it to be recharge

queen laurel
celest dome
#

So they wouldn't be a Magician or no ?

queen laurel
#

he's from Greywater

#

in aos

celest dome
#

In AoS, yes, that would work, it's basically what some of the Arkonaut do iirc

crystal forum
#

what if gun go pow

spare osprey
#

Noise pistol is crazy

storm jungle
#

BASED

#

BLADE BUTT TOO

plush mason
#

whats in the fuel can though?

storm jungle
#

Probably screams or some shit

#

its a chaos weapon so lol

plush mason
#

yeah thats what i was thinking

storm jungle
#

its like those canisters from Monsters Inc

plush mason
#

yup

#

bottled screams

hallow saddle
#

Oh fuck oh fuck

#

Let me just sprint to Warcom

#

Fuck I still hate that they got rid of the RSS feed

#

Oh it's beautiful

#

Blastmaster I guess

storm jungle
#

Its pretty good

#

but like

#

its a sonic gun

#

not much to comment

plush mason
hallow saddle
#

It's reassurance that it's not a fucking guitar gun

storm jungle
#

Yeah i wanna see the Marines lmfao

storm jungle
#

close but no cigar

hallow saddle
#

It goes to eleven!!!!!!!!!!¡¡¡1111

storm jungle
#

YEET

plush mason
#

11 is the lowest setting

hallow saddle
#

Yessss

#

There was some art with a noise marine for the MTG Warhammer game and he had a fookin' guitar

#

So part of me still dreaded that they'd go retro camp for the marines

storm jungle
#

It might still happen

hallow saddle
#

I don't mind, as long as I can use sonic blasters that looks inhuman

plush mason
#

the guitars come from a less serious time in 40k so the odds of them coming back are slim

hallow saddle
#

Options are fine

plush mason
#

GW is very focused on making the setting more serious it seems

celest dome
#

Bagpipe

storm jungle
#

NOOOOO

outer wave
#

LETS GOOOOOO

tough haven
#

Don’t worry, they’re just canisters

#

Bagpipes are a sonic weapon though, so it’s not too farfetched

gray umbra
#

Theres a part of me that wishes they were still electric guitars

#

Or like a tuba

#

Imagine obliterating the skulls of loyalists with the power of smooth jazz

celest dome
#

I still love the Guitar Noise Marine

#

But I think they need to be treated as Sorcerer like

rose thorn
#

New gsc rule okay but it doenst say when you spend the points

storm jungle
#

WAIT

#

THE DARK ANGELS DLC IS JUST FOR THE BULWARK?

storm jungle
#

I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR ALL CLASSES

#

WHAT IS THIS SHIT

crystal forum
# storm jungle

that's not for tuning, it's volume control and you BETTER believe it goes from 1 to 11

gray umbra
#

Yeah the only real value is the cosmetic pieces from the chapter stuff

#

Like the helmet pattern to color your mk 10 face mask

storm jungle
#

Yeah I just found it

#

you literally gotta waste even more points for a DLC you bought

#

fuck that shit

gray umbra
#

Yeah..

storm jungle
#

and of course they put the firstborn helmet at the very end of the unlocks

gray umbra
#

I went to play the new map and got into a infinite loading screen

#

Better part of me was like nah

#

Closed the game

#

Went back to playing castlevania

storm jungle
#

Sounds about right. Im literally only just coming back because my friend wanted to play the campaign. Gonna uninstall after that

queen laurel
# storm jungle

Honestly it seems that so far it's still going pretty strong

hallow plover
#

Have they buffed the amout of spacamarine bucks you get for playing the game?

#

Unlocking stuff takes too long

storm jungle
#

No idea, i dont even give enough of a shit to check it out

hallow plover
#

The drip was the main selling point for me

#

And it sucked

queen laurel
#

You sacrifice your drip for stronger gear

storm jungle
queen laurel
#

or sacrifice your gear for the drip

storm jungle
#

its genuine trash

queen laurel
#

for the PVP

storm jungle
#

No idea

#

i dont care at this point

queen laurel
#

oof

#

honestly by the rate space marine 2 is going I think it's gonna run out of steam sooner or later

#

unless they change it up

gray umbra
#

Nope. The multiplayer is unbalanced garbo anyway

#

You can change your lens color now

#

Whee

rose thorn
#

Crazy that online has the exact same issues in the first and second game lmao

hallow plover
#

Yea that felt bad. And the time you have to invest to unlock gear and drips exceeds the replayability for me

storm jungle
#

^^^^^^

#

And replaying

#

*the

#

same

#

fucking

#

missions

rose thorn
#

Just like tabletop!!!

storm jungle
#

Lmfao

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Warhammer players love playing the same game with no difference 50 times

queen laurel
queen laurel
tough haven
# storm jungle

What company are they usually expecting in the rear ranks?

rose thorn
storm jungle
rose thorn
#

Epic hero or what ever it’s called

hallow plover
#

The vox voice filters makes everyone sounds the same. It just adds to replaying the same shit in loop

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

The one you play as

hallow plover
#

||the traitor pvp voices gods||

queen laurel
#

what i feel bad about is Khorne

#

SKulltaker is

#

literally ******* boring

rose thorn
#

I’m 90% sure online TWW is literal hell to play

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

It takes me unironically 5 minutes to load into battle in single player

#

So when I play I usually paint at the same time lmao

queen laurel
gray umbra
#

I just do coop campaign with friends

#

Slaanesh mechanic is kind of op

rose thorn
#

I love the civ part of the game

hallow plover
rose thorn
#

I’m dog water at the battle path of the game

rose thorn
gray umbra
#

Who knew i could just vassalize everyone by throwing gold at them

queen laurel
#

My gameplay literally consists of throwing my army at the enemy and praying to gork and mork

hallow plover
#

I don't care about my army losses. Don't make me fight a fight I don't have to intervene personally

gray umbra
#

I only really do battles if it feels like i might have to cheese

queen laurel
#

Still though as much as I love gorbad the additions he is adding is not that exciting

#

the orcs are already pretty strong

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Wait what’s old world dark oath called

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

NORSCA!

#

Yeha human norsca

#

And vampire courts

queen laurel
rose thorn
queen laurel
# rose thorn Ye I love him

Even though yes he doesn't add much I am pretty excited to play him because I did always want to use a good chunk of the roster to experiment but because of the way orcs are built I can't really do that

#

Gorbad's lore is also pretty awesome

celest dome
#

Darkoath are more like the Kurgan tbh

#

Than Norscan

#

AoS Norscan could be cool

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Sadly no kruleboyz in old world

queen laurel
celest dome
#

Hobgobbo ?

queen laurel
rose thorn
celest dome
queen laurel
celest dome
#

Most Hobgobbo are independent, though they do still trade with the CD

queen laurel
#

You can only recruit them with the chaos dwarves

rose thorn
#

In AOS they trade with CD!!! I imagine the reason they are hobgobbo instead of normal gobbo is chaos energy

#

Is old world hobgobs yellow ?

celest dome
#

In TW ?
a Hobgobbo LL could be fun as a pseudo CD faction, working like that hunter in Lustria and working odd jobs and getting paid by Ironhand in troops, so CD are ridiculously expensive

rose thorn
queen laurel
rose thorn
#

I wish the grenades did more on current tabletop tbh

#

But it’s very funny lore

queen laurel
#

you're telling me this

#

doesn't do that much?

rose thorn
#

It’s a ranged weapon you can throw in melee

#

You use to be able to run and throw

#

But that was a bit too much utility

#

If I did anything I’d probably like, idk give an ability to ‘pull pins’ and you deal mortals on a 5+ but you take 1d3 mortal wounds at the end of the shooting phase

queen laurel
#

take everyone with you

rose thorn
#

It has to be worded differently to not interact with the venom rules

#

Maybe an additional mortal wound on a 5+ instead of dealing mortals

queen laurel
#

Does he buff them good or is he just something you will get as a nice model piece

rose thorn
#

Aka he’s just the royal decapitator

#

The Chad

queen laurel
#

yeah your god is never gonna let you live that down

rose thorn
#

IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY

#

My hope is he’s dirt cheap

#

Like 80 points max

#

Or he’s in a RoR

queen laurel
#

it's a Hobgrot

rose thorn
#

POV some shrimp ass gobbo approached the literal embodiment of sigmar

#

Oh found the gif

rose thorn
#

Lmao

rose thorn
queen laurel
#

comic wise yeah he is adorable but if you play against him on marvel rivals

rose thorn
#

Even tho Jeff is from the comics

arctic talon
#

Jeff is like

#

Mostly in gwenpool

queen laurel
#

may god have mercy on your soul because the player base won't

arctic talon
#

And uh sometimes shows up in other stuff

#

Randomly

queen laurel
queen laurel
#

like in that game he is a ******* annoying support to fight against

rose thorn
arctic talon
#

If you like meta humor you like her

#

If not you don’t

gray umbra
#

Ive been mostly popping off with magneto, loki and starlord

rose thorn
#

Trying to remember my favorite marvel heroes shit

queen laurel
gray umbra
#

Hes loki op xd

rose thorn
#

Spider man, ant man until he became a domestic abuser for some reason, iron man until he became a domestic absuer for some reason

#

DOCTOR DOOM!

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

I fuckinh love doctor doom

gray umbra
#

Dont forget his dumb ass ult

queen laurel
gray umbra
#

Being able to become the enemy psylocke and ult the enemy team is hilarious

queen laurel
gray umbra
#

Yeah

queen laurel
#

Penny for if I want to be a scumbag and camp the objectives

#

And venom when I feel like actually helping my team by distracting the enemy as a meat shield

gray umbra
#

I like venom a lot

#

It just feels like you need a second vanguard

queen laurel
rose thorn
#

Hey what’s y’all’s computer stats? I wanna see if rivals will run on my computer

queen laurel
#

and incredible dives

gray umbra
#

Yeah, dive, slow and then start m1 spam

queen laurel
rose thorn
queen laurel
gray umbra
#

Ryzen 9-5950x, rtx 3080 and 32 gb ram

queen laurel
#

hold one

#

my processor is a AMD Athlon 3000G with Radeon Vega Graphics

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1630

gray umbra
#

I havent played him yet but ive seen ironfists and they are terrifying

queen laurel
#

yeah i probably need to update it

#

or get new ones to run the game better

gray umbra
#

I had one on the enemy team who would annihilate our healers

queen laurel
gray umbra
#

In likr 0.5 seconds of seeing them

#

Just beeline and murder poor jeff

queen laurel
#

A venom can only like stand up to an iron fist for a little while but not win against him in a fight

#

i will try my best to hold off the iron fist but like i need help

gray umbra
#

We ended up focusing his ass

queen laurel
#

He's practically one of the best one-on-one duelist in the game

queen laurel
#

and that Genji ass ult

#

and the block that enhances his basic attacks

rocky gale
queen laurel
#

yeah like Larmoth says

#

it's quite bad

#

at optimisation

#

Hopefully they fix it up because one of the things that is a constant is if it's a free multiplayer game it needs to be able to run on a toaster

queen laurel
arctic talon
#

Rivals has atrocious optimization yeah

queen laurel
#

Just curious

arctic talon
#

my frames CRASH whenever Strange opens a portal

#

lol

queen laurel
#

add memory

#

that's why i literally play it on windowed

#

atrocious yes but at least i can play

#

hopefully in the future they will add updates to make it better but for now

#

If you wanna try it you can download it and run it at the lowest settings you can

#

it is free to play so that's the good part

rose thorn
#

And 8 gb of ram

#

Idk what any of this means

queen laurel
#

i think you should not try it

#

but if you want

#

run it on the lowest settings first

#

my PC is not the best but it can run darktide reliably

#

this game will completely freeze for me

#

even on the lowest setting i can

dapper gyro
# rose thorn

Go to task manager, on the left column, click on "performance"

rose thorn
queen laurel
# rose thorn

yeah i think you can probably try running the game on the lowest setting you can but that ram is not looking good i'm gonna be honest

rose thorn
#

Meh I’ll just wait

queen laurel
dapper gyro
#

It will have hard time to run the game.

queen laurel
#

Yeah just wait for it honestly

#

Like this game eats up memory

#

And again the optimization is absolutely horrific

gray umbra
#

8gb of ram might choke

dapper gyro
#

Though, if the laptop has small resolution, bellow 1080p, it might be able to run at around 30fps at minimum setting.

gray umbra
#

Baseline for just regular pc is 16 gb now

queen laurel
gray umbra
#

Gaming is like 32gb minimum

#

It runs fine

queen laurel
#

By the way jackit

gray umbra
#

My pc is a monster though

queen laurel
#

Yeah that makes sense

#

My pc is definitely on the lower end
