>>507360675
Nothing can change the fact that the ops are static and stale. The core gameplay loop is also hampered by retarded design decisions. Unless the game receives a major re-work it's going to quietly die after the bump from this latest sale dies down.

10% over 5 seconds if you fail 10 ops in quick sucession.

>>507361184
quick succession?
is that longer or shorter than rapid succession?

>>507361069
They could make the best perk/talent tree system in the history of video games, and it still won't change the fact that the majority of ops are literal chores to run and runs are only varied by how stupid your squadmates are.

>>507362004
Clearly it was a perfectly calculated strategy. Two chumps to eat any surprise threats, the sergeant as titus's backup, and titus to make the mission a success beyond calgar's wildest dreams.

>>507362329
Just make him a rogue trader

>just found out running attacks deal half damage

The shitty extremis grabs are some of the dumbest things. Zero recourse on lethal.

>>507366918
Anon... your dodge button...

>>507367631
Just make it a single attack then.

>>507367936
The grabs already are single attacks though

>>507362004
I'm convinced Leandros lied about the details to Calgar. The man is going to end up turning to Chaos himself because he's the Frank Grimes to Titus' Homer.

>>507366918
>>507367631
>>507367936
>>507368703
are you talking about when a ravener wraps his prehensile penis around you? or when they do fast attack combos?

>>507368989
By "extremis grabs" I assume he means the lictor and ravener attacks that are referred to as grab attacks by the game.

>>507368703
No. The point is you can avoid max damage if you click fast enough but that's impossible on lethal.
So just make it a single attack and be done with it so I can at least try and get some contested health back

>>507370041
You can dodge those attacks and never have to deal the button mashing.

>>507370346
>just dodge bro!
Don't care about your git gud arguments. It's a shit mechanic, remove it and just give me the damage and let me move on.

>>507371761
NTA, but you're some special kind of stupid if you get consistently hit by grab attacks.

>>507371761
mashing is the difference between recieving alot of damage and just dying from the grab attack, it also gives your teamates a window to free you.
game has alot of issues but this isn't one of them, if getting told to git gud makes you so upset then just dial down the difficulty.

>>507371970
It doesn't matter how many times it happens. A single time of sitting there knowing my health's about to go to the shit with no recourse is enough.
Remove it.
>>507372132
Nah. You're wrong. I've sat there at zero health and lived. As long as you get the final parry press off you never die. It's just a shitty gotcha like the zoan beam and the mines.
All shit to be removed if the devs knew any better.

>>507362004
>>507368709
Leandros should've been put down right at the end of SM1 or off screen, for going outside the chain of command. The man is petty at best and I don't think whether this was writer's intention or someone doesn't know the difference between a counterweight to the main character and a nuisance. Unless this is all some 10D chess by the Big E (where Titus might, sadly, get the short end of the stick), who knows.

>>507372551
Leandros 100% lied his ass off when he realized how bad he fucked up, which is why he faced no consequences despite Calgar being Angron level pissed off about Titus being taken by the Inquisition.
I don't think he's supposed to be anything other than an example of hubris. He sees Chaos everywhere and in the 40k universe that means he's the first one to fall. Space Marine 3 will probably involve his crimes coming to light and him falling to Slaanesh in his desperate bid to prove he's pure and Titus isn't.

>>507373648
>He sees Chaos everywhere and in the 40k universe that means he's the first one to fall.
Quite the opposite. Reminder that SM2's story prominently features a mindset of "blindly mistrust everything because it has a chance of being daemons" and culminates in that mistrust being proven correct. In 40k, Leandros' attitude is both an effective shield and highly valued (in the role that he's in).

>>507373648
Imagine being the Inquisition, and having the balls to stonewall Calgar while he spams your email for over 200 years.

to be fair the mission is fun.
i like the cum chalice.

>>507377395
activity is slowing down and updates are slow and scarce and those things are probably related to each other.
but honestly, if you're considering getting it and like 40K i'd still say go for it.
it's still a good game, even the singleplayer campaign is worth it if you like Titus. it's just the multiplayer part is mismanaged.

>>507378764
if you've been playing since release in ANY capacity at all you're basically out of things to do
I have like 4 weapons that aren't leveled to relic with all mastery points bought
I have every single purchasable and earnable cosmetic
8 operations get fucking stale hard, especially when most people are just horrendous trash and can't be depended on

battle bros, how do i pick between more bullets vs more dmg? its got to be a simple autism formula

>>507382618
i just play on Astartes mod. it increased its lifespan substantially for me. i don't think i can even go back to vanilla.

>>507382980
Do you find yourself running out of boolets too quickly?

>>507382980
Depends. every weapon is different, and it's different for every class.
sniper and vanguard can use the same weapon but sniper will pick more ammo while vanguard will pick more damage because if it his damage output is from both melee and ranged.
it'd be more helpful

>>507383878

spamming parries and executions just feels scripted and cringe

>>507417558
curious how all those >dead game >dead general types still hang out in the thread

finally started playing Assault
this class doesnt do melee or mobility better than other classes :/

>you are the worst at burst mele damage
>you are the worst at single target melee dps

why play this dogshit class?

>>507420450
it's fun

>>507420450
So how much does the gun strike perk actually help? Say you're running a squad that'll rely heavily on gun strikes for damage, how good does that perk become?

>>507420808
the game isn't supposed to be fun
you're supposed to solo lethal, with extermination rank A in under 30 minutes
ASSAULT CAN'T DO IT!

>>507421042
realy depends on how you play it
if its one of those "fencing only" types its a flat 50% damage increase
for everyone else its like one gunstrike less before the enemy goes into finisher range

the only reason it's default is because assault doesnt realy have another somewhat appealing option, 10% ability CD is neat, but half the classes, including assault, dont really care

>>507421601
10% flat cooldown reduction just gets mogged by the equivalent perks for sniper and especially vanguard

>>507421741
sniper doubly so, that cracker can dome 3 gaunts and he goes from 0 charge to full

>>507421821
It's extremely good for him, but I think vanguard generally gives more to most of the other classes because finisher kills are more common.

>>507421882
yeah, i was once playing bulwark with a inner fire vanguard and a finisher conscious heavy
i swear i could fullheal thrice per minute

>>507407496
It’s Captain Acheran from the game. He had a model before he finally got named.

>>507417917
Go into minimal Decapitation with just bots. Don't press the button to detonate the bridge. You'll get a pseudo horde mode as nids will not stop coming.

People love to doompost and throw around empty buzzwords when in reality the game has its playerbase. There are dead games around but SM2 definitely isn't one of them. I get pretty fast matchmaking on all difficulties, no waiting ad infinitum. Can't attest to PvP since I don't play it but this mode isn't the biggest draw anyway, in my opinion.

I only join in-progress games now. I completely refuse to go to your battle barge. Don't have to go through two loading screens, don't have to deal with class conflicts, don't have to deal with people sitting at the terminal or going AFK. The entire battle barge system is awful and shouldn't be in the game, we do not do anything on those ships that can't be done in a menu.

>>507473909

If devs understood how to make places like the battle barge or mourningstar a proper social thing people wouldn't mind the loading screens so much. unfortunately it's just an excuse to mire cosmetics in function.

We have exactly 1 augmetic and it's the wrong arm. Just look at the artwork for Iron Hands. Where are the legs? Where are the helmets? Where are the cog wheels? They half assed the armor. Not all chapter like putting that gaudy shit on. Why can't I color my weapons to be chapter accurate?

It’s literally all just the right arm. The exact same model too. And the Iron Hands can get a bunch of the company symbols for the pauldrons, as well as other cybernetic enhancements as cosmetics, and some squad and role markings for the knees. Maybe a weapon can get bundled in as well.

Sorry lads, ive been busy on making the damage calculator. I havent worked on it since the last update (ie no class perks), but if youre curious here is a very rudimentary calculator. Make a copy of it and use the drop down list.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19UPqugjDD-WvIHEoVfCs24unVJYEt4FKD3uEeoGZXWU/edit?usp=drivesdk

In my experience, ammo tends to be a of massive help in most cases. Accuracy comes in second, and damage tend to be the last factor. Obviously youre free to use any of the three variants, but for many weapons the ammo discrepancy is too great for the non ammo variants vs the ammo ones. In fact, i hope they rework the perks such that reserve ammo is completely tied to rarity whereas the magsize is to the variant.

Any of the bolters can be used if you're competent, but GL is broken on a fundamental level, HBR is better at crowd control (more ammo and an extra tick of pierce), and Stalker is somewhat useful at high tier (Reloaded Restoration)

-why don't you just play any other sniper rifle, it's less hassle

+click heads, drop dudes
-there's way too many dudes
>Heavy Bolter
+great RoF, no mag limitation, very goot stats in almost everything else
-requires heavy use of Heavy Stance(aiming), merely average per-shot damage

>>507641362
The auto bolt rifle suffers from having no particular strength. If you want, the smg carbine is better (by a lot) up close. If you want sustained fire, youd take the HBR. Bolt rifle on its own has good range/damage and of course has the GL as an option.

What the abr then offers is an extreme ease of use. It has very good hip fire accuracy that rewards push-forward style, and unlike the smg it can actually be used at medium range due to better damage drop off and accuracy. It has a decently fast fire rate unlike the bolt rifle meaning it can be used to push a horde back, despite its inferior penetration stat.

The problem i think is that no matter how its built (and i use that term loosely) its only ever going to do just that. Its a weapon that truly is just a gun of all time. Its serviceable, but will never excel at anything it does.

>>507656291
i dunno man, comparing the Ammo ABR vs the Acc HBR is a clear win for HBR
ammo is the same, accuracy is like 97% the same, dps is simmilar, ABR has 17% more reserve ammo, but HBR has 30% better damage per shot, HBR has more pen

and all that before looking at perks
(HBR has more perk points)

yeah, you must have missed the message on discord. people were talking about it a thread or two ago. basically, they will be postponing raven guards and releasing the horde mode in january instead

Sounds like realistically we're getting an extra rushed mode in about 6 weeks, not 2.
Which is honestly fine by me, I'll deal with the frustrations of an unfinished mode alright. Could backfire for the mode's longevity though.

>>507692741
Bump, please respond

>>507692741
Assaults rely on double-tapping people with jetpack dives, and hovering to strike from unexpected angles and/or inaccessible areas where they are very hard to see. They hard-counter bulwarks which can be a pain to deal with otherwise

They are also very effective against groups of enemies in tight spaces, you can bombard people with grenades from the sky before dropping for extra carnage. Just avoid going into a fight with less than 2 jetpack charges because those are your ticket to safety if things go wrong

>>507699562
Thanks, i think I'll stick with the assault marine.

the easiest fix is to have this talent restore % based total ammo. easy as fuck to impliment, buffs all bolters, nerfs GL, everything gets equalized.

i´ve been repeating this since launch

>>507661583
For me i still think their use case is different (supposedly). If you check the datamined info youll see that the abr has better hipfire accuracy across the board, but worse aimed accuracy (by a smidge) and recoil (by quite a bit). Dps is remarkably almost identical, hence we know the breakpoint for the abr is abysmal compared to the hbr (for a while it couldnt even reliably 1 tap termagaunts) since the hbr has 350 rpm vs abrs 450 rpm. This also meant that the ammo thing is not at all a good comparison for abr because when it comes to shooting bigger enemies each bullet from the hbr is worth that much more compared to the abr (about 30% more for the base damage).

I really hate this kind of balance where you need high accuracy for a weapon with really unfavourable breakpoint. Its giving me drg gk2 flashback.

I want whatever they're smoking. This makes very little sense.
On the other hand people talking loud enough about 'clean' mk8 armor made them actually put it there. I also hate how they don't let us use campaign assets for armor pieces (i.e. deathwatch, some of the ultrasmurfs bling etc.) for co-op. Can't imagine it's GW breathing down their necks being the reason behind it.

>>507737693

>>507737693
What's the point of 'chaos pack' if we aren't getting any chaos operations? Glorified cosmetics pack? Unless those helmets are actually neato, but there's no certainty they will be. Also, CSMs shouting 'For Ultramar!' isn't exactly game breaking to me but it is leaving slight scratches on the surface of the lore. To add a bit of positivity here I like how /fa/ Salamanders Sniper in that webm looks like.

Why would they even make salamanders skin for a sniper tho? They have scouts sure, but they're not what comes to mind when you think salamanders.

>>507742025
The Salamanders have a cape called the Salamanders’ Mantle, which is only given to true heroes amongst the Chapter. My guess is that they made the Sniper a Salamander because of his cape,

>>507742025
because vanguard and snipe are the only ones you'd expect to not have a helmet, and they needed to make sure you saw he was black as pitch

>>507737693
Not too bad. I wonder if seasons 8 and 9 weren't datamined because they have no outline what to make for those chapters or the info simply wasn't put in files by the devs... Probably the latter, but with all this leaked it just boggles the mind.
>>507741828

>>507737693
well, with the next season bringing in skins for ABR and HBR there may be a glimmer of hope that they will get reworked/buffed to compete with GL. Instead of nerfing shit they should be buffing alternatives to compensate. and there's also:
>Beakie with Raven Guard symbol

i can waste several bolter rounds just to kill one but one chainsaw combo does the job just fine.

The trick is to really lock in with one of them and try to get the parry off even though it's harder to parry than most, then you get a gunstrike and stun them enough to get up close and melee them.
