Is it worth playing?
>>724132414new class soon, inmates
>>724132414Yes it is fun.
>>724132414dunno but the music is cool
>>724132959Better than payday 3, kf3, etc?
Nothing like a team coming together on a maelstrom and scraping it together
>>724132959But will it be the Skitarii everybody has been begging for since release? People want their defensive support class who deploys shit like turrets.
>>724132959What new class can they even add? Is there hope for some sort of enslaved Xenos or would the Inquisition never allow it?
>>724133210The various abhumans like ratmen or felinids, and >>724133192People have wanted an Admech since release.
Any EUnons want to play together?
>>724133210Squats....
>>724133354>felinidsThat shit will both PRINT money and destroy the game forever.
>>724132414Lol no. Years of updates and they havent done fuck all. One character, with a gay dog and a garbage waves mode, thats it.
>>724134474fatshark couldn't handle vermintide 1 alone, and now they're managing two active titles
>>724133354>>724134151>>724134279What do felinids even do apart from tempt honest guardsmen? Are they like, good marksmen or medics or something?
>>724133081those are not even remotely close
>>724132414The gameplay is fun but Fatshark are some of the laziest developers that dont know what they want the future of the game to be.
Stop giving these scammers money.
>>724133192Skitarius will be a massive cop-out since it's just an Admech flavored Veteran instead of a full fledged Techpriest with various doohickeys (i.e. summons like Servo skulls, servitors or turrets) and religious affectation.Unfortunately, knowing the lazy swedoids that is fartshart, it is more likely than a proper Techpriest class.
>>724134279>felinid >cadianBY THE EMPEROR
>>724132414If you can get it for very cheap, yeah. $13 is a fair price for what it offers.
>>724136680Likely they're just physically stronger than average humans due to their mutations while not looking like full fledged furries that would consider them Beastmen. Also, the schizo personality for Darktide's psyker class has them claim the voice in their head (said to be the Emperor) says Felinids look attractive.
Gameplay is honestly some of the best fps fun I've had for a very long time. However, there's the constant issue of the devs trying to balance the game properly because of the sheer levels of bullshit difficulty at the endgame that forces you to play the meta. People will complain about how slow Fatshark as a dev can be, but fail to recognize the absolute slog it is dealing with GW's licensing team in order to add 1 fucking enemy to the game.
>>724132414>Is it worth playing?Absolutely. The gameplay is immaculate, the music is banger all around, mulching heretics never gets old. I have over 600 hours and i ain't stopping yet.
>>724140532The game is in a fairly balanced state at the moment, what specifically is the matter? The only weapon I can think of that way overperforms in it's position is the Plasma Gun
>>724132414No. Nearly every map is dark corridors that look the same and the gunplay fucking sucks. The only fun I had with it was a Soulblaze psyker and once I leveled it up I felt no desire to grind materials just to level up weapons.
Give me Reclaimator or Ratling
>>724132414It's fun and the atmosphere is top notch, but gets repetitive quite quickly>>724133210>Death Cult Assassin>Hive Ganger>Tech Priest/Skitarii>Squat>Merc/Bounty Hunter>Sister of Battle (probably a novice rather than a full fledged Sororita)And lots of other shit they could pull just from the RPG sourcebooks alone >>724134151I assumed this is supposed to just be a joke about muh catgirls rather than foreshadowing of anything
>>724141117SoBs and Death Cult Assassins are already represented in the Zealot tree
I physically cannot stop making Psyker builds, lads. They're so fuckin versatile. What's your go-to build?
>>724133210unironically? space marine aspirant/novice/scout marine. they just can't make a 40k game without marines.
>>724141228knife voidblast assail crit aura scriers EP
>>724133210Its going to be a beastman abhuman of some sort so they can reskin the slayer jump/melee ability. They LOVE reusing assets.
>>724141228My favorite build that clears any diff no prob is Mk4 Dueling Saber, Flame staff, Brain Burst, Warp Charges and Vent.Kinda sucks that it's been so strong for so long, but it is what it is.The most fun however is Scrier's Gaze with Deimos Force Sword and a Voidstrike staff. Pair it with Smite with Empowered Psionics. Shame they fixed the zap heavy attack damage being buffed by EP, it was also a bit too strong.
>>724132414as long as you avoid Havocs yes>what the fuck is a havochigh difficulty missions with extra modifiers(more hp, enemies don't stagger, extra bosses etc...), more bosses, ammo drops offer less ammo, less hp/toughness>okay so why avoid itunfortunately it inherited the retarded ladder/rank system from Vermintide 2 where you continuously climb up to rank 40there is no common lobby, you make a group and treat it as a some sort of job application at higher ranks you will have to either veto people or roll the dice with teammates (rage quitters are common)you get 3 tried before you lose a rank, unfortunately teammates (leaving you with bots which is usually a loss) quitting or server dying counts as failed attemptso while you might advance 5 rank only to roll back 4 ranks, making progress slow>doesn't sound too ba...devs also either reset ranks(for whatever reason) or randomly roll back 10 ranks because of some updateexpect to get rejected for no reason in lobbies too
>>724132414If you buy it cheap its fun, doesnt get anywhere close to vermintide quality, its a glorified reskin of that anyway lol
>>724132414>Is it worth playing?Yes but just like most other coop games, expect that you won't need much time to learn all the enemies + maps + mechanics and then the game might start feeling stale to you. Most coop games like this have this issue though.Darktide's in a decent place right now. Still needs more maps and more monstrosities but more unique modifiers, but the core is now there and it's very fun to play. The combat trance you can enter in higher difficulties is quite literally like nothing else.
>>724139841>>724133192you seems to forgot about how jewish GW licensing is
They should make a solo mode where you play as a Space Marine who’s insanely overpowered.
>>724140830Easily the dueling sword and flame staff. Giving the DS a party effectively took away the one thing that made devil claw unique at all. Very fast heavy attacks with pinpoint accuracy decimate armored elites, superior mobility with movement tech makes survival laughable. Flame staff melts hordes and staggers infinitely with primary spam. Toughness regen is absolutely wack with little build cost. There's much more to discuss, but the meta being basically expected to deal with high level havoc is most definitely a huge issue that makes the endgame stale.
>>724140532Balance right now isn't perfect but it's way way better than it used to be. Tons of weapons are viable and even solid. 12-18 months ago the balance was infinitely worse with nearly all weapons being dogshit apart from powersword + plasma.
Alright bros, maybe i'll give it a reinstall.
>>724143056Tbh high havoc is just CBT with tons of bullshit. I don't really mind that I am kinda forced to play dueling saber and purgatus there because that kit is fun as fuck anyway.Auric Maelstrom is in the perfect spot atm, pretty much everything is viable (within reason, not trolling yourself with a purposely bad build) with skilful play it can be cleared while having fun.I genuinely don't get why players torture themselves with Havoc.
>>724143709The game is in a better state now but if you have 100 hours in it already, don't expect a full new game. It's still the same bones underneath.
>>724143762>I genuinely don't get why players torture themselves with HavocHavoc requires high skill and it gives you bragging rights.
>>724143762I think it's people that are meta slaves who find maelstrom too boring as a result.Fatshark really fucked up with Havoc throwing the balance completely to shit.
>>724143952Maelstrom is too easy nowadays from all the powercreep, yeah, but I personally enjoy it a lot more when I get 3 bad team mates in Maelstrom and I get to carry them, than I enjoy playing Havoc and dealing with the bullshit balance.
>>724143901At least he won't have to play shopclick as much with Brunt and Hadron's casino
>>724142153>the most fun is ep smitekill yourself pronto
>>724132414Sure if you want to spend a few hours messing with settings so the damn game runs at a smooth144fps and not 1-300 fps because its optimized like UTTER DOG SHIT
>>724145431It actually does damage now and is a good situational tool to help the team get up downed mates, which the psyker has no other way of doing besides peril stamina dump.
>>724145779It's mindnumbingly boring.
>>724145779if you have to turn off the game to not wipe, just accept the wipe with dignity
>>724132414I'm in a remote location. What is the max playable ping in this game?
>>724145779Why smite when you could left click with flame staff to stagger and actually do damage? Or use blast staff and knock everything on its ass while actually killing things? Smite CC is a meme
>>724145898It's mindnumbingly boring if you only smite all game. >>724145937Right, because Voice of Command, Relic, Smoke & Stun grenades, Shroudfield and Stealth aren't also turning off the game to do a revive.That's how it works. Neither Assail, Brain Burst or any of the Psyker active abilities can enable a revive.
>>724146465Every class doesn't need a revive ability (see Ogryn and Arbites). Smite is just a poorly designed blitz.
