This is the most fun i've had in years with an action videogame what the fuck
>>729846394Darktide is great, Its the best 40k game in my opinion.
I, too, am an organic poster and I give this video game produce a big thumbs up
too bad there are like 4 areas for missions
It's fun for the first 20 hours or so. Then you'll realize every map feels like work and the missions go on for too long for what they are. Higher difficulties are more annoying than fun.
2,296 hours aiiieeee i'm burning out and have nothing to play
>>729846889The hope is that since the "story" is taking us outside the city now, we are going to gert different environments finally, it mentions a forest.They also need to rework havok, its anti fun. Have it that with every 5 ranks you pick one of those perks from the horde mode or something, so while the game turns to bullshit you also get bullshit to combat it and a reason to go higher and higher, so you can make an even more busted build that resets when you lose. Its just not fun when you get into the 30s.
>>729846394>hadstill having fun
>>729847283That's what mortis trials are though
been considering this game since it came out but never bit the bullet because i assume you have to pay extra money to get any of the cool stuff.
>>729847659if by 'the cool stuff' you mean cosmetics then you are right but you are also gay if you care about cosmetics, everything else you need to play it is there to use otherwise
>>729847574Those suck because they arent difficulty in the sleightest, Im saying I would like that upgrade stuff in the game mode where you actually try to see how high you can get while it throws bullshit at you.
>>729847716there are some dlcs that look like classes so i assumed you had to pay for some classes, not just cosmetics. if the classes are gay or you can unlock them with normal play i wouldnt mind that.
>>729847659you dont. however you will be grinding quite a bit to get to the really fun stuff.
>>729848075Damnation Mortis were pretty snoozy but Auric Mortis is honestly pretty decent. As far as pre-Havoc content goes I can't imagine dropping 5 bosses and infinite elite waves at once isn't enough
>>729848316Sure, Im being hyperbolic, its not THAT easy. The real problem with it is that it reset when its done and you only really have a fun build by the last round. Id like to see something like this for the regular game mode where you explore levels and your "build" carrys over. Yes, some of the stuff you get is busted, but thats why its fun, and you dont get very long to play with it, Id like to see this stuff used in the havok mode as an incentive to reach higher ranks because you unlock more stuff to make a busted build to use against busted modifiers. Seriously, every time tox gas modifier shows up I just ignore havok now, its not fun.
>>729848234The classes are not as good as the base ones, theyre just interesting playstyles, you really arent missing anything. Hell, if you end up liking the same you can get them later, theyre always on sale.
OP hereI never bought it back then because it seemed meh when I tried it but now is insanely fun. The skill it demands from you doesn't come just from builds but from reaction, precision, combos, footwork, game knowledge and teamwork. It is really really good now. Just got into Havoc missions
I haven't played since launch so all of my shit is outdated, I don't have any good properly statted/blessed weapons, for some reason even though my zealot was 100 levels above 30 I was only given 5 mastery points in Eviscerator (what the fuck), so right now I'm playing catch up on my guys.A lot has changed but it stills feels like they haven't added nearly enough new maps and content.
>>729846394too bad the devs are asleep at the wheel
>>729848792>>729848947I stopped playing because the game crashed multiple times every mission, literally the most unplayable game
>>729849142It runs for me. Of course, it runs way worse than it should. The optimization is laughable compared to Vermintide 2, no idea how they fucked it so badAnd their raytracing is so low impact and so poorly implemented that even if you have a top top PC, it's never worth it to turn on.
Anyone else getting getting constant disconnects now? I am playing Hive Scum with Rampage/Chem Dependency and Shivs. When I start getting momentum with full chem buffs and rampage going I am basically Neo in the Matrix and just raping everything and dodge haxing into near invincibility. And then the game cannot handle such fast gameplay and boots me out. It isnt my system, I've got a 4090. My internet is fine. Hive Scum seems like it is simply too fast paced for FartShart servers.
>>729849551Im getting rubberbanding and "failed to join server", seems to be that because the entirety of Sweden is on holiday they havent addressed it.
what's the best build for veteran as a new player?
Too bad the game is really about fighting enemies too far away to see
Vermintide is quite simply the better game
>>729846394diet Vermintide 2
>>729850097I like Darktide more at this point because I like that ranged is far more expansive and builds can be more goofy.
>>729848786I hate to say it but gear and talents point distribution matters more in this game than it does in Vermintide. Mostly at the very top end to be fair, but the fact is that at some point metafagging becomes less negotiable
This game was so shit at launch, got the 2 classes recently, other than the clearly busted Arbites what are some strong/fun classes to play?
I really enjoyed it until I realised that there was only like six missions and one "special" mission that never changed. oh and no story and no progression
>>729849551>>729849697Haven't had any issues like this as an NA east player>>729850097I prefer a lot of the systems in Darktide. Toughness > temp health, the itemization is better, etc. Darktide just lacks content. It needs maps, enemy types, all that good shit.
>>729850370Psyker is the most unique (but has the fewest "good builds"), Vet has the widest and most interesting selection of weapons
>>729850370Honestly everything has a strong build right now. Maybe zealot is the weakest? But you can still one shot bosses and do all sorts of wacky shit.They've made all the classes so strong with the right builds that the only way they can figure out how to increase difficulty is to send 30 crushers at you, at once.Plasma Veteran is strong as hell, Inferno Staff Psyker is broken as fuck, double shield arbites is basically unkillable, etc
>>729846394theaw niggers need to add more than a single mission a year holy fuck. I am not expecting an entirely new map but it can't be that fucking hard to had 2 new hallways and a new room or whatever to an existing level and record 4 minutes of dialogue from the voice actors they have already been working with on monthly basis for 5 fucking years.WHY isn't there more than one mission in the new badlands trench lines area. They already have the modeling assets and they were already having the voice actors come in to record dialogue for the new mission>>729849142try disabling play portraits or whatever they are called. Those apparently cause horrible performance issues for people with certain PC setups. I went from lag spikes and crashing every 20 minutes to having 0 issues.
>>729847283Literally the opposite, the fun starts in 30s because that's when the game starts to get sufficiently hard enough and you actually need to start to cooperate rather than hold W and solo the whole mission.
>>729850509>Darktide just lacks content. It needs maps, enemy types, all that good shit.Anon, your acting like as if it were in the state when it just came out. There are 24 maps now. 38 types of enemies. Havoc mode. Mortis trials. As it exists right now, you could play Darktide until the end of time and it would still be fun.
>>729851392I played at launch, like I said. I got burned out on the Carnival and quit. Now, there is more -- but not enough and not as much as they should have at this point.They should be focusing on content and now paid DLC classes.
>>729846394Really fun game. Very addicting. I might buy Arbites or a game that's on sale.>Arbites DLC or >Space Marines II>or Wreckfest>or Dawn of War Definitive Edition Upgrade>or BeamNG>or Hell Let Loose
>>729850097Honestly, dunno. I wanted to like Vermintide 2 a lot, but coming from Darktide, it spoils you so much with how impactful shit feels. Vermintide 2 is nice, but feels """unfinished."""It might be a mistake to drop it early for me, but it really didn't click.
>>729850097>>729850161I thought the same until I gave it a shot
>>729846394-Tide games always had great gameplay. The Fatshark parts are the problem.
Nexus, fabellor, implorem, quadrigae, ignifer, macto, pridem, saturi
Is hive scum worth the admission fee?
>>729846394One of the greatest games for me in 2025.
Didn't this game become completely obsolete with the release of Space Marine 2?
>>729851868I didn't think that until I gave it a shot
>>729852991It's way more satisfying than Space Marine 2, has way more weapon variety.
>>729852991It's far less clunky than SM2. I love SM2 but Darktide just mogs it.
>>729850595What about ogryns?
>>729852991space marine 2 is okay, but Darktide is superior. For one you don't have to play as a space marine.
>>729853149I don't really enjoy playing mine. I can't say they're not strong, but they feel kind of bland
>>729846394It's good fun for up to 150h and then gets extremely repetitive and stale unless you're one of the autists who enjoy repeating the same havoc shit over and over and getting ultra sweaty about it.
>>729853064The problem with SM2 are the Ultra smurfs. I want to play another chapter.
>>729852991SM2 guns all feel like peashooters and the melee is brainless and boring. Darktide Boltgun shits on any of the SM2 bolters.
I was really bad at Ratclick 2, is this better if I'm a casual? Just different coat of paint?
>>729853590for me it's power falchion + bolt pistol in the commissar outfitgauntmaxing
>>729852724Hive Scum is the definition of glass cannon. If you have the reaction and dodge/push skills of a spastic meth head you will go around shredding everything. Then go down instantly when something randomly pokes you because the game failed to register your dodge-I frame properly. I swear half the time the game literally breaks and enemies stop targeting me at all because rapid dodging tricks the AI that I'm not even on the map anymore.
>>729846394It's not...great. It has its moments, but it's definitely not as polished or well-crafted as Vermintide. The levels are also notably more homogenous. I remember when Darktide launched there was literally only one tileset I could differentiate between the others (sandland). The others all blended together because they all looked the same. Fatshark unfortunately kind of only got worse at making games over time. Vermintide 1 was their undisputed peak, and after that it was all downhill.
>>729846394Its better than vermintide thats for surebut it only has like 6 maps and forced crossplay means console shitters fuck up your lobby all the time.
>>729848786Sexy GIF. mind if I save it?
>>729852991>Didn't this game become completely obsolete with the release of Space Marine 2?
>>729847283>The hope is that it's fatshark, anon.
Compared to other weapons is kinda not that great butDem bonks thoThunderclapping those armored Ogryns in a single CLUNK is just too fucking ridiculousNeeds a buff tho
>>729846394yeah I really enjoyed the first 15 matches too during a free weekend before it became so boring I uninstalled and never played it again
Was this bug fixed? This game made me love autoguns despite the tabletop game making them look weak.
>>729855326It's a really strong niche weapon, a boss killer with the stealth build, and is perfectly fine at its current levelIt does what it does better than anything else
>>729855364The game starts slow, you really need to stick until lvl10 and Heresy level difficulties to see what it is aboutAuric missions are the true game
>>729855487Been maining it but it's hard to kill even Poxwalkers with it if you're not positioned well enough, unlike the Crusher that just slaps the everliving shit of everything, or the Relic BladeI think that the hammer would benefit of animation cancelling with the turning on of the thunderstrike, like the Relic Blade can. That would be good enough buff
>>729847146The complete opposite is true, the game is a total bore for the first 20 hours as you're leveling your characters but when you get competent enough to comfortably play aurics the fun really goes through the roof
>>729851392word it was only lacking maps at first but its at a good amount. And lots of gameplay modifiers on rotation to keep it fresh.
>>729855326>Thunderclapping those armored Ogryns in a single CLUNK is just too fucking ridiculousThat's cute bonk you got there. So while you were occupied doing that I two-shot the other 8 crushers in the meanwhile.
>>729846394For all the bells and whistles this game has (skill trees, unlockable weapons, characters constantly fucking yapping), it's far worse than L4D2, a game that came out SEVENTEEN years ago
>>729855646Is the Crusher better you think? I haven't used it since it came out and it fucking sucked then
>>729855546poryphyrion, my belovedone day you'll have a plastic kit
>>729846394Anyone that claims this game is good needs to be checked on what other games they play and/or think is good because your taste is actual dogshit. Somehow manages to be worse and boring than Vermintide is an impressive accomplishment.I remember some nigger got mad that I called the game shit and he literally only had like CoD and BF in his library like holy shit lmao.
>>729857560Nah Darktide and V2 are good games, the glaring issue is they are both IQ tests and sadly you see a lot of people fail it.
>>729857595why does reddit spacing always come with shit opinions? (rhetorical question)
>>729857636>reddit spacingYou're a fucking retard.
>>729857636Oh you meant >>729857560I don't know. Lack of awareness I'm sure.
>>729857701yea i quoted the wrong post
>>729857595Why is it always the biggest retards that bring up IQ lmao. This game is literally made for retards.
>>729856635Darktide is the spiritual successor to L4D. It improves on the formulae in every way.
>>729851801unfinished how?
>>729858162Your IQ is showing, bud.
>>729858317>worse characters and personalities>worse maps >cosmetic microtransaction spamIt's worse in everyway
>>729846394My PC is old and the game runs like shitVermintide just appealed to me a lot more with the protagonists distinct personalities and visceral melee that's unlike almost any other I'm having fun playing Space Marine for 40K
>>729846394>Fucking Hive Ganger instead of literally anything else as a class>NOT EVEN THE NECROMUNDA VERSION
I am literally the only person in the world that loves the hive ganger and would have taken my mad max crackhead stereotype over a skitari.
>>729846394Vermintide is better althoughbeit
>>729858856I dunno. I like that at least they're sticking to 'emperor's strongest crackhead'. Arbites was a step outside, honestly.Next class should be a combat servitor to bring in some real heavy guns.
Wonder if the Genestealer infested hive city will ever be playable. Maybe in like 3 years.
>>729850252I think preference for scifi vs fantasy and a more ranged vs a more melee focus is the big lynchpin for people. Personally I got bored of darktide because the maps are super samey, the characters are actually kind of shit, the story and setting are shit and the melee combat feels much easier than in vermintide. I played the preacher at the time with the chainsword. I don't know if the balance has changed that much since I played
>>729859185It would be another reskinned human faction with 1 new somewhat unique special and 1 boss lol
Hive scum burned out fast, didn't even grind all the penances. I think I need a new game like vt3.
>>729858856idk if it occured to you that game doesn't take place in necromunda
Any good mods for it?
>>729860523Player stats, so you can get even more pointlessly upset at the game, your team and yourself.
>>729846394Needs more rats imo
>>729860523The one that shows wether your teammates are on pc or console
Bump
>>729848736Hell Arbitrator isn't even a fun or unique playstyle. Just a smaller Ogryn without any of the physical comedy inherent to the weapons. The only thing unique about it is how absurdly low the skill floor is on that class. Oh and I guess you can have a bot running around playing part of the game for you.But yeah, base classes is all you need. Hive scum is just for flavor with the poison and uzis and dying in one hit to everything you don't dodge.
>>729852724No.
>>729850286That's just what Havoc 30+ is. If you don't want to play that you can just bring whatever you feel like to Auric or Havoc 20s.
>>729848736>The classes are not as good as the base onesThe main reason is that they arent well thought out. They barely have any unique weapon variety.
>>729846889The story update fixed that there's quite alot of missions, 20 or more
>>729862914Name 5
>>729855892The game was fucking terrible at launch. Everything outside of the actual missions was a complete slog.
Looking forward to when dodges get fixed in late January and every christmas newbie just starts whining how hard the game is and how unfair shooters and gunners are.
>>729863250Weren't dodges broken only for scum?
>>729852991I swear marinefags are the biggest whiniest babies both chaos and imperium
>>729853829This game has even more going on. So if you suck at Ratclick you probably won't even clear the third of the six difficulties. Then again improving your skill is basically the entire game. So I dunno.Might want to buy arbitrator DLC if you need extra training wheels. Makes it harder to swap to real classes in the long run though. Ideally you start on Zealot and get good.
>>729846889Yes, the map tileset variety is absolute trash. Setting the game on a hive city was a mistake.
I swear arbabies are retarded. They have zero game sense and think they contribute to the game by just existing (which they do only because of their dogs)
>>729853829Think ratclick 2 except on top of managing horde of melee mobs you also constantly have long range shooter mobs perpetually spawning and harassing you
>>729852724If you're a Psyker or Zealot player, yes. If you're an Arbitrator, Ogryn or Vet player fuck no.Fun class with some fun builds but if you suck at dodging you will hate your time with it.
>>729863485>Setting the game on a hive city was a mistake.It can be interesting. The recent map is set on the surface of hive city. The level designers of DT are just bad.
>>729855326I don't know why the lights aren't armor piercing like in ratclick. You shouldn't need to do special attack before every single goddamned fucking attack.
>>729846394The Inquisition really is the peak of 40k writing
