SKITARII NEXT MONTH

>had to bend the lore to make it work
how did they get away with it?

dead game, dead thread
checks out
btw this is going to be the third iteration of "p2w"
>>
>>739328368
it was funny that in the trailer when they showed people painting Warhammer mini's, it was all Fantasy ones
Truly, Fatshark are a bunch of Fantasy Grogs, no wonder Darktide is a mess

Yeah, im thinking we're back.

GW should've just let them make vermintide 3 they struck gold there and are now petering out with shit that has no vibrancy or soul

Don't these guys irradiate the area around them thanks to their radiation guns?

From the new weapon option shown in the trailer, they don't seem to be giving Radium guns as a weapon option, just Galvanic Rifles, Arc Rifles and a Phosphor Blast Pistols i think
>>
>>739334006
You'd think radium would be an easy shoe-in when it comes to a weapon archetype.
>>
>>739330167
If youre setting cant bend it can only break. Add orks next, just swap the ogryns head and make them green and give them stupid weapons.
>>
>>739334078
But then you get the lore problams and irradiating everyone nearby.
>>
>>739333507
There's plenty of soul, but I agree it needs way more variety of levels, especially outdoor ones, even if it isn't exactly lorefriendly all of the time.
I also prefer Vermintide, but I can recognize that Darktide improved a lot of their earlier formula
>>
>>739334078
not when it irradiates the area and allies around them

>>739330167
pretty sure the Inquisition can draft anyone into their warband. Anyone includes the officio Assasunorium

Don't be silly, game mechanics can safely take a backseat to that sort of thing.

They found fancy old machines, of course they'll send some cog boys to check things out.

It also includes FUCKING ANYTHING including Kroot, Eldar, and Orks, but the Swedes would never
>>
>>739330167
Apparently, there is meant to be a discarded Knight or Titan in the Wastes of Atoma so when that's discovered, I would guess Hadron sends word for reinforcement to get their hands on it before the Nurgle Cult does
>>
>>739334360
Xenos would break the Mudcore aesthetic of Darktide anon
>>
>>739334274
the issue isn't a Skitarii being taken by the Inquisition, it's that the Skitarii is somewhere in a Hive world and not in some desolate archeological dig site
>>
>>739334515
They're the errand boys of the priesthood, they can operate anywhere to fight.
>>
>>739334454
Orks are pretty mudcore. Some of Da Boyz would definitely be interested in getting into a proppa scrap with some spiky gitz.
>>
>>739334360
One of the Mortis Trials stories says that there's an Eldar Corsair ship trailing the Mourningstar just out of range and the Darktide Extraction module for Wrath and Glory lists a couple Eldar classes you can play as.
You'll get your precious space elves someday, bitchboy. So stop being such whiny cunt about it.
>>
>>739335641
Orks would consider a bunch of cultists and fallen Guardsmen a pretty boring fight we aren't fighting proper Chaos Space Marines here just a Hive-sized Chaos cult
>>
>>739334515
The lore issue is that these are Alpha Primus, which are the Skitarii lieutenant equivalent. They operate below the Skitarii Marshal and are allowed to maintain a personality as it helps with snap judgements.
They had to bend the rule to give them any kind of personality.
>>
>>739335810
My levels of Imperium fatigue after Owlcat's Rogue Trader are high and refuse to fall.
I have Darktide on Steam but refuse to touch it until they add the first not Imperium class, which I'll buy and main immediately out of spite

Pretty much all of them are allowed to have a personality.

>>739336451
Maybe it'll end up as a kill team kit.
>>
>>739336558
Not really, lowest level skitarii are typically lobotomised and barely more than drones. Only as you go up the ranks are they allowed any kind of freedom.
There was a great scene where cawl gives a inspiring speech to the skitarii before battle and they all just wait until he finishes then walk away
>>
>>739336356
No one cares cause cancer can take time to kill someone, you'll probably be dead anyways, and the body part with cancer can be replaced if you actually matter (you don't).
>>
>>739336802
There's a bunch of books with skitarii showing personality including Forges of Mars and even the more recent ones. I don't think those particular skitarii cared, most books involving Cawl has most people being against him.

It entirely depends on the magos how much freedom the skitarii maintain. In skitarius they are little more than puppets. It changes from writer to writer.

Tell me about Warhammer vidya. From what I can tell Space Marines 2, Darktide, Vermintide, Dawn of War and Total War Warhammer are the big AAA games. There are other stuff like Chaosbane and Inquisitor that doesn't seem like it's mentioned by anyone at all. So are the other Warhammer games pretty much in the category of weird stuff no one really plays?
>>
>>739341297
Space marines pretty much the only AAA, the rest are closer to AA. Also rogue trader exists but might fall under weird stuff.
>>
>>739328368
data mining shows all skitarii's abilities are purely damage/self buffs:
>switch to a rapid-fire plasma
>summon a servoskull that deals minimal damage
>increase attack, attack speed and moment speed
so, another useless dlc class that doesn’t deserve a place in havoc 40, lmao

can inquisitors really order admechs around? I thought the priesthood was like a vassal, like space marines are. they have their own religion and belief about who rules the empire and run their own planets and all sorts of other things. any anyway, marines can famously tell inquisitors to fuck off. but the admech can't?

Depends on the inquisitor, if it's just some literal who then they'll be fine but if it's a big dawg lord inqusitor then they had better do what he says. The imperium kind of runs on reputation, if your some respected inquisitor/chapter master/rogue trader/archmagos/whatever you can order around and ignore more people than if you were some literal who

In this specific instance the resident tech priest Hadron Omega 7-7 has been pestering Rannick(Grendyl's interrogator)to let her requisition some skitarii for a while, so technically these skitarii would answer to her, and she works with Rannick. Same as the Arbities, they work for the resident provost marshal of the Atoma system who has, for now, decided to place his Arbites at Rannick's command.

>>739352993
Level a character you like to 30, pick weapons you like and feed resources into them. Do all 20 story missions and then start doing random stuff on the mission board. The game is shit at explaining some mechanics and skills so just look up anything you fail to figure out. There's a lot of depth to the classes that isn't outright spoken about ingame. If you git gud start to play auric a lot. Experiement with mortis trials and expeditions but auric, auric maelstrom and havoc are basically the endgame depending on your skill level and randoms vs having friends. If you are on PC you can get a bunch of QOL mods as the devs basically don't care about 99% of mods. People meme and dump on the devs and it's true the game isn't perfect but if you can survive auric mode and beyond the game is also a ton of fun when you learn to build classes and dominate hordes. I don't like copying builds buy MisterE on youtube does some fantastic guides on how to play and explains stuff very well if you struggle with the gameplay. I would say hold off on any DLC classes till you at least hit 30 with 1 base game class and want to commit to more.
>>
>>739328368
Why are these guys suddenly everywhere? Weren't admech supposed to be rare?
>>
>>739354732
Admechs are absolutely everywhere, they manage basically all the machines in the empire; or, at least they like to think that they should be.
Skitarii are much rarer, they're the admech's "private" army and are pretty rare outside of admech planets or stations. You might find them on imperial planets or ships if they're guarding holy shrines or bodyguarding important people. But they're not gonna be trolling around a generic imperium planet without having an explicit reason to be there.
>>
>>739352993
bind dodge to spacebar and put jump somewhere else, learn to dodge/pushblock, kill disablers FAST, dont bother caring about gear until lvl 30
>>
>>739355013
Wasn't it drones and cyborgs like servitors for maintenance, and admech for srs machine bzns? There's more of them now than guardsmen in every new release.
>>
>>739355323
I guess there's a bunch of different ranks of them. There are gonna be way more lower-class admech who aren't full techpriests, I don't know what they call them, who do all the daily manual maintenance shit. But those dudes are still members of the adeptus mechanicus.
>>
>>739355590
Warhammer used to be cool.
>>
>>739355590
You have basic skitarii that are organized into squads, squads are lead by an alpha, alphas in turn are lead by marshals, and the marshals answer to the actual tech priests.
>>
>>739344935
It's pretty fun, I'm enjoying it more than the first one

>>739349324
>can inquisitors really order admechs around?
"Order" is a strong word, but yes, the Imperium can pressure Mars into doing shit, within reason.

I don’t have any skin in the game, I’ve mostly gone back to playing Vermintide because that skeleton crew do a better job of balancing it for player enjoyment than the DT team has ever come close to. I was dreading this not because I dislike Skit, but because I’ve come to realize that skit/mechanicus fans are either unironically fag gooners, tourists or both. Turn on friendly fire so I can run them out of my lobbies.

The difference between 40k and Fantasy is that the first have been trudging through a sea of absolutely dogshit games made by C tier indie teams, and the latter have yet to have a single bad game that wasn't either a blockbuster or a remotely popular fotm indie game.
Specifically, TWW and Vermintide revived the entire Fantasy franchise to the point where geedubs even re-released the minis and the entire board game.

TL;DR Yeah 40ksissies are battered wives and will eat any slop.

None of them have personalities nor funny interactions, nor they have memorable lines or the camaraderie that the U5 have.
It's a bunch of prisoners referencing events and facts from the 40K universe that they should have absolutely 0 knowledge of, especially heretical events that the Inquisition would purge you for merely knowing about them.
No poggers bridge, no Keri-Bardin banter, no Sienna teasing and strawmanning Saltz at every opportunity, no Kruber being the most based character in the franchise, nothing.
Absolutely nothing, just retards larping as Ogryns because YES SAAH XDDD.

There is no real way to have a bunch of different factions working together like this unless its inquisition, the only other time we would see collaborations like this is a full on war, and this is not that scale of game. Who knows, maybe GW would do something smart and get someone to rip off Helldivers 2 with its galactic map, and you have multiple fronts with differnt factions on bigger maps with bigger weapons.

What other things could they add that would even close to his power level for other classes? Other than one guy playing as 100 imperial guards

Assassins? But they are OP in a way that is retarded. Putting a space marine in the same roster as solo human units doesnt work without gimping the space marine-then whats the point-, or making the human unit wildly more overpowered than they should be, it only works if the humans are in armies. If space marines are there the human units are just disposable fodder for whatever the space marine has to do, thats why its not really a good sign when space marines show up.

Just make Helldivers 2 ripoff, and have different classes where space marine is one of them. So while you control one character as them, as a "human" you play as a lieutenant and a squad of guys follows you around where the space marine just calls in different weapons, the lieutenant calls in different guys with weapons. The space marine cant get into all vehicles etc. have them actually play different rather than try and scale their power level down for regular humans to keep pace.

mechanicus 1 was 8 years ago, sold well and was positively received. That was always going to get a sequel.
>waahh DoW4
you don't have to play as pontus, you can be anybody
>waahh roguetrader
out of a cast of 12+ , 2 are from one of the most commonly known imperial factions? jesus christ somebody has to do something about this. It's not like you can just bench them and play with all the other companions.
>nobody plays this on the tabletop
these are videogames, must be hard for you to tell the difference but nobody gives a fuck what you paint huffers do or don't do.

Skitarii are basically drones with no personality that get remote controlled by their faction leader when communicating. That said, the alpha primus skitarii that still have their personality have always been a thing, they just never had tabletop models, because in tabletop there is no utility to this at all that a character is able to talk with their own voice and thoughts. Its just for writing purposes and they are considered sort of commandos who operate independently but the leader can check in on their bodycams and take control whenever.

Stop repeating this nonsense about them being drones, it simply isn't the case.

>>739364056
Hey anon, what's the name of that game you're posting a picture from?
>>
>>739365320
How would you describe it, I know drone isnt entirely accurate but they are:
>no personality
>no free will
>like servitors except better
Its why when they arent this its "bending the lore" because they are not a faction that can sit around exchanging stories over a dying fire with regular humans, they are pure function. Also why are they not radioactive, is this another thing like how ogryns wont go into small spaces like cockpits and transportvehicles that was changed for the game?
>>
>>739365976
>no personality
>no free will
>like servitors except better
They're just the militant arm of the cult. Several books depict them effectively being human much like their masters can be. Hell, one of the books has a skitarii shooting the shit with a guardsman trading for lho sticks because he hasn't had one in a long time.

It changes depending on the writer just like the power level of leman russ, if Tau are being brainwashed or how strong orks are compared to space marines.

Its bending lore here in that why are different forge worlds sending a handful of guys and not a whole army? If there is tech on a planet they want they usually invade, seems like the alpha primus are just there to see if theres anything of worth maybe.

Nobody wants to play with gay troons like you, so no, playing solo isn't retarded. It's the opposite, actually. It would be insanely retarded to play with mentally ill men like you.

They give the currency as a reward for events now.

Also in regards to paying for shit for the game, its given me over 1000 hours in playtime, I really dont mind spending a bit more on it. Ive paid more for full games I liked and played less, I want them to make more of this game.
>>
>>739366405
If more writers are writing them one way than another, then it's less ambiguous. The Imperium fucks up deployments all the time and the mechanicus are hella stingy when they want to be. Besides which, it's for the setup of a game, it would be pointless to pull a "And then everyone showed up the end".
>>
>>739344965
Its my favorite game that I can't replay because I don't feel like waiting 6 hours for basic animations to play out.

They could've made every class have a set background instead everyone being a prisoner.
>>
>>739366575
That is the deluxe edition outfit, I don't think there is a way to get that with ackers, only cash
>>
>>739366743
Yea just tie the voice packs to an actual background and personality. They already hint at it but its left so nebulous and speculative that it may aswell not be there.
>but what if two players have the same voice pack
Just have generic lines in those instances rather than back and forths.
>>
>>739366939
Oh never mind, youre right. I never even liked the look of the deluxe stuff so didnt even give it a second glance. They really need to add more stuff for the new classes, the arbites has incredibly limited options for such a popular class.
>>
Fatshark should add an option to bind a m1 equivalent that uses hold to spam rather than charge attack. One of my main gripes with the game is that I really fucking hate spamming clicks like a retard, which really limits the ways I feel comfortable playing.

Just let me tie M1 to spam and middle mouse to hold-to-charge.

There Is a mod (cheat) that lets you do that if you want

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
>>
>>739367168
I just use a mod for stuff like that. See those lasguns that have to charge? I just use a mod that automatically charges to full to fire when I hold it down instead of me giving myself carpal tunnel, same with the las pistol, its a single fire weapon that relies on large capacity and I just wreck my wrist playing it, so I just have it set to hold fire to fire each shot.

Vermintide 2 looked better, ran better, played better, Darktide is a complete downgrade.
>>
>>739363805
I don't mind mechanicus because it's at least not more marinewankery but I hate necrons being shilled everywhere as well
>>
>>739367369
At this point I disagree.

I spent over a decade with the only mechanicus representation being an enginseer, I'm very happy for this.

no. i hate what this game has become as a result of apathy and poor updates, but even i bought this class and played it for a couple weeks because i love dual-wielding small arms.

Based retard.
>>
>>739367853
I kind of wish this game ended up like L4D. Workshop can practically fix any game.
>>
>>739367874
Vermintide 2 did look better, even if only by virtue of offering players a variety of high quality levels/castles/countrysides to explore and battle their way through instead of a bunch of identical derelict ship hallways. Darktide may technically be a higher fidelity game but they're wasting that fidelity on dimly lit hallways instead of sprawling fantasy zones.
>>
>>739367946
L4D was practically unplayable towards the end of its lifespan.
>>
>>739368083
Maybe I should've said L4D 2 instead, I still play it with my friends from time to time when some neat custom campaign gets released.

DT characters interactions are trash, we only have them because fagshark didn't feel like paying competent voice actors for few thousand lines and instead hired randos to spew meaningless drivel with no real connection to anything.
>>
>>739361218
nah, he's kinda right.
>>
>>739369734
They talk about their predicaments, the overall war, the city, the officers, their pasts, combat tactics, general philosophies, the enemy, how is that 'no real connection to anything'
>>
>>739369979
cause they're just nameless voices coming outta mouths, unattached to any sort of progressing personality. part of what made the Vermintide cast entertaining was they hated each other initially but grew closer over the course of their adventure. you don't get that in Darktide cause every match is a new set of generic, interchangeable Imperium fodder who've never met before.

Yeah that's just generic content spam. Just a bunch disjointed references that can be placed anywhere or anytime and can be said by almost every "character".
Utter trash compared to the actual personalities and histories of before.
>>
>>739370176
Nah, the Vermintide crew always sounded plenty chummy and still giving each other shit from the getgo from my memory

And the Darktide characters actually do acknowledge progress being made from successful missions in their chatter, like bringing up the fight with the Karnak twins

>Skitarii are basically drones with no personality
Skitarii do still have their personality and the class itself is the Alpha Primus. APs can still make their own decisions and still maintain their minds from their Tech Priest.

No they do have names, they just suck. Its shit like "brawler" or "greedy" or whatever.
