Lol. I just think shorter missions could be nice, kinda like weaves if people played them. I'd also welcome a longer experience like the wastes as well. I like choices.
>>
>>495305231
>I like choices.
If only the darktide team agreed
>>
>>495305512
they're literally adding a shorter mission so you have the choice to play shorter missions
they're also changing the entire crafting system to let you just choose blessings and perks and weapon mark

their initial design was shit but it seems to me like they do add choices
>>
>>495305512
They're a little retarded, but they are at least moving in the right direction. If only slightly.

>>495305995
Too bad they haven't said shit about fixing it
>>
>>495305879
From their wording I think it implies it's on a special board like the twins were. But I don't know for sure.
>>
>>495306129
That doesn't really impact the underlying issue
>>
>>495306295
Yeah I agree that the main board being randomized is shit. Hopefully that's next on their chopping block.
>>
>>495306113
Hell, even that (possibly improving) pile of shit Payday 3 lets you play whatever mission on whatever difficulty. Even DRG with a similar system lets you pick the difficulty.
>>
>>495304175
Psychological impact.
>>
>>495306662
Is the game more fun when you feel pressured to rush through the map as fast as possible?
>>
>>495306113
they havent said shit about fixing the crafting system either until they actually went ahead and did it. Fatshark just works slow
>>
>>495306484
>We heard you, Rejects! You can now select the difficulty of the mission, and all missions in a zone(biome) are available, but we cycle out zones every 30 minutes. We are just like DRG now! Also positive and negative modifiers are still random, just like DRG.
>>
>>495305040
No, histg is more challenging than half of the maelstrom modifiers.
>>
>>495306484
They very obviously copied DRG without realizing DRG's mission board only works because the levels are procedurally generated and comes with guarantees of each mission type's availability. It's pure Fatshark stubbornness that they haven't undone it, like their reluctance to remove randomization from equipment.
>>
>>495305042
>no answer
So is it just shitposting. I'm just supposed to believe timers are bad without explanation because it's commonly accepted reddiquette?
I guess I'll just wait for it to release and see if it will be fun or not
>>
>>495306837
Some people like a bit of pressure to squeeze out the gem inside of them.
>>
No. The board system is to make matchmaking faster and not force you to play the same three missions thate veryone likes like in vermintide
>>
>>495307114
I hated the board system at first but as I played the game more I started appreciating the forced variety. When you start out you definitely want to be picking the missions, but later on you'll be glad that faggots dont spawn the same mission over and over like in VT2.

I think a really good compromise could be
>regular board is pick-your-deployment
>auric board works exactly as it does now
>>
I'm exclusively playing quickplay so I don't really care either way.
>>
>>495307114
>and not force you to play the same three missions
Funny because that's exactly what happens in Darktide. And Vermintide 2 had an issue with repeat missions because for some asinine reason Fatshark legitimately weighted quickplay in favor of starting levels with high failure rates. It's not that everyone loved to play Convocation or Enchanters Lair 24/7.

>>495307515

A timer doesn't necessarily mean it'll be incentivized to speedrun it
nor does a mission specifically built for going fast sound terrible

Look I'm not saying it'll be good, I'm only saying you're kind of a mentally ill doomer for posting about shit like this 24/7 like it could only be bad. You've been making this exact post over and over since it got announced. Just wait and see, or stop caring.

Can't say I've had that issue in VT2, at least not for a long time. Going from a system where you can play anything you want or a random map, to one where you have no control over maps, difficulties and modifiers, is pretty terrible though.
>>
>>495310141
Show bob and vagene. I rape you bich.
>>
>>495310480
The VT2 system was better, it was also that way because the missions had an actual story order.
The biggest issue I had with it is that you can't start quickplay alone. Should've just been a "host quickplay" option instead of making you do workarounds
>>
>>495312771
There's been a mod for that since basically the get-go, but yeah it would be nice if it had that option by default (if it doesn't already).

NO THIS THREAD HAS TO BE A DARKTIDE THREAD BECAUSE IT JUST DOES OKAY!!! Darktide is so good that’s why nobody talks about it outside of here!!

Darktide is great because it causes impotent whinges like this so much. I laugh every time some guy cries about it. There is literally fucking NOTHING you can do about it either and that's the most satisfying part. You're literally admitting you're mad about something I do and that it bothers you greatly but you can't do anything about it. Totally impotent screeching.

This is such a retarded post because VT2 had the exact same issue and they just solved it via handwaving it away as

which works the exact same way in 40k, it'll be called Eye of Terror or some shit
>>
>>495330725
>This is such a retarded post because VT2 had the exact same issue
no it didn't
V2 was a lot more loose and happy-go-lucky with how it bends story, in the missions the U5 basically destroy the alliance between Skaven and Northlanders lol but the End times still happen because you're not supposed to take the missions too seriously
and every mission has a special name like AGAINST THE GRAIN because it's more videogamey
in Darktide the devs are far more stern and serious about what can be done in the game because it has to be "believable", like reject missions need to be in ugly factories instead of cool environments because that's what a hive city is like, missions are called HABZONE-54-D and CONSIGNMENT-YARD-88X and shit like that because it's using the in-universe names very seriously, the rejects all need turbo ugly cosmetics because that's believable, etc.
it's a bit different with Darktide and a Chaos Wastes system would feel a lot more jarring

>>
>>495330351

>>
>>495332447
those are just gameplay contrivances
in terms of story Darktide takes itself very seriously, all the menu stuff in the Morningstar is phrased not like it's a game but as if you're really a reject doing reject things
meanwhile in VT2 you can click on a paper map and you're instantly greeted with stuff like "HOST CUSTOM GAME" and picking heroes has a "MANAGE BOT PRIORITY" tag, and some of the missions are narratively built around doing things you canonically should never accomplish or else it'd break the setting (see: Skittergate)
>>
>>495329537
>>495331161
>>495334078
thats a lot of cope
the only reason they haven't done it is because they don't want to, as shrimple as that. anything else is just words words words to justify that
they probably just don't want to work on it because swedes pick their own projects and work on whatever the fuck they want to. I'm betting you chaos wastes was like versus, some devs fun little project. if they really wanted a roguelike mode they'd write up some in universe explanation. hell make it a psykanum VR like training mode or some weird explanation. "chaos wastes" is just fluff. there's a million ways you could write it
>>

>he only reason they haven't done it is because they don't want to
of course they don't want to, i'm under no delusion

Youre not some random fucking schmuck in Darktide. Youre a named character. Want to know what a random schmuck looks like in darktide? That generic Traidtor guardsman you just killing without even thinking.

you're not a named character, that's why you get to name your character
a named character is someone like ciaphas cain or captain diomedes or titus

>>
>>495332447
He's coming up with Blight Town stutter tier lore reasons for Fatshark's lazy map design and Chinese sweatshop cosmetics outsourcing. Like it's some great game philosophy to undo all the lessons from VT2 and not Fatshark phoning it harder than ever. It's just a bad game drawn over the reused chassis of a good one. No deeper conspiracy here.

It's a video game. Don't worry about it. Ciaphas Cain that you mentioned should be dead multiple times over. He's taken down Chaos marines, ork warbosses as well as giant tryananid monstrosities that would easily dispatch fucking terminators. Cain has plot armor (or the protection of the emperor if you believe in that sort of thing). You may as well assume the reject you're playing enjoys that same protection.

Whatever cope you want to use, it's best not to think about it and just enjoy the game. If you overanalyze any media you're going to see contrivances dumb shit.

This is like saying

... and the game portrays a group of 4 rejects who (through the emperor's protection or pure luck), manage to accomplish their missions. Ergo, the "named characters" of which were named by the player have that protection. Whether you like that concept or not is up to you, but that's the story that we've been presented with.

Our rejects are the named characters the players made. Their luck and protection are the player's guiding influence in their actions. We are the divine light. We are the emperor's children. The emperor protects.

You're telling on yourself with this statement. Voicelines change depending on the difficulty you play, which is level locked, which is how your story progresses.
In other words, you just admitted that you either didn't play the game and don't know this, or you admitted to never having played above Uprising which is funny in itself.

In either case it's highly embarrassing that you're talking about shit you clearly know nothing about. Why bother?

Wrong. Melk has some voicelines where he chats with other people and just generally denounces rejects. These don't necessarily refer to the player.
He also has a system where he hates some personalities and likes others. He doesn't ever imply you're low ranked, but he is openly hostile towards some voicetypes (and this never changes) but is also openly friendly towards others.
It's not a bug, it's just how he works.

Actual in mission dialogue also refers to you based on the difficulty you're playing. If you're an auric operator doing aurics, the NPCs NEVER call you a weak shit. If you do uprising for whatever reason, they do. Basically, anyone who thinks this is admitting they play uprising/malice/sedition.

It's one thing if someone is struggling. If they keep going down, keep getting captured, and are semi-afk they need to get the fuck out of aurics.

I really like the Agripinaa Mk I Infantry Autogun. I use it on both my Veteran and Zealot. It's real basic bitch in terms of utility, generally being good at most things except taking down heavily armored dudes while also offering you the option to mag dump if you need to. The Graia Mk VIII Infantry Autogun isn't too bad either but I usually opt for the Mk I.

Usually, for my Zealot, I focus on melee damage, taking down bosses and armored dudes while saving the autogun for long-range threats like snipers and gunners. I'm usually screening pox walkers and doing CC to protect Psykers and veterans. For my Zealot, the Autogun is a fallback option for when I need to reach out and hurt a target at a distance whenever other players either can't or won't take down the ranged shit.

For the veteran, I always have the extra 25% ammo skill and the passive ammo regen so it usually isn't a problem even if I'm being very liberal with my targets. In higher-level difficulties with lots of elites & specials, my ammo economy is good enough that I don't worry about running out of ammo if I pick up the odd ammo box here and there. Add in the focus target and that makes my ammo economy even better.

To be fair, Focus Taget is fucking sick no matter what you're using and with bring it down being on the way there, It's hard to pass up that keystone. I think they should put bring it down higher in the tree because a lot of my veteran builds are hungry for that one skill in particular. You 20% extra damage on bosses & Ogryns + with a max stacked focus target that's 52% extra damage on bosses which is borderline heretical IMHO. The icing on top is that your bros are also doing that extra 32% to marked targets as well.

Which lasgun? Always take Shock Trooper and Survivalist and that should minimize how much ammo you use. Also try the Helbores. I go games without picking any ammo up. Maybe Deadshot will help if you’re using slower firing ones like the XII
>>
are lasguns even usable without the full auto mod
>>
>>495395891
I need to look into more darktide mods. Right now the only mods I'm using are the scoreboard, the healthbars, extra loadout slots, and the collectible finder.
>full auto lasguns
That is more lore-accurate but I think for balance purposes fatshark doesn't want people being able to mag dump an XII into enemies. Turning one of the single-shot lasguns into a hotshot lasgun would be pretty neat though. I was more interested in adding scopes and other accessories to guns but the mod I tried to use for that kept crashing my game. I figured I'd wait for a better version to come out.

The highest power recon lasgun maxes out at about 150 damage vs the single shot XII with its lowest damage 218.75 and the highest is 306.25. Compare that to the strongest singleshot headhunter autogun that's also singleshot. It only does 240 some damage.

This is before factoring in talents, blessings, and perks of course.

i think unruining all the things they ruined in helldivers is too little too late

why were they such unbearable cocksuckers the entire time? what design philosophy were they so obsessed with protecting, when they deliberately ruined every playstyle that emerged? why was it so important that people use those strategems? and then, why add things that make those strategems (their INTENDED means of playing, like it or not) unavailable for long periods of time?

why are the helldiver devs literally autistic and didn't like how people played their game so they antagonized them until competition came out and they HAD to do what people wanted?

they are such motherfuckers that i still don't want to play

I haven't played the game myself but I can see what they were trying to do. For the stratagems, they were supposed to supplement weapons but they made the damage of a lot of weapons feel too weak or ineffective vs armor. As I understand they're remedying with the most recent update, giving more weapons enough punch to at least DAMAGE most enemies rather than having your bullets bounce off them like spitwads.

As for stratagems not working due to environmental effects, I think there needs to be a give-and-take. if an electrical storm disrupts your stratagems and gives them a longer cool-down time, that should also fuck with automatons or make it harder for the bugs to sync up with their hivemind or whatever. Give the player tools to address the problem of "The stratagem isn't working, what now?".
If their only option is to suck it, that's not a very satisfying option. Make it so there's extra ammo for their weapons, allow special stratagems that only work under certain conditions (maybe ones that aren't used as often so the devs can test out how they're actually used and why they're not picked over others), or give some positive buff to helldivers to counteract the environmental condition. I would want my player sentiment to be
>"This part of the mission sucks, but at least I can do this or that to counteract it"
Otherwise, you're just counting on rewards for the mission to get players to deal with that issue. That may get players to endure the shittiness but players less tolerant of shitty levels will be less inclined to endure it.

I'm not sure to the extent stratagems were limited by environmental effects but if they're supposed to be an integral part of your toolkit that's taken away, that's less about difficulty and more about making the game less fun.

If the new update is going to address these grievances, I'm happy for the players to have some recourse to the suck. I'm curious if it was only weapon buffs that were the highlight of the update. Were environmental effects balanced to allow more agency in how you handle them or are they still a buzz kill?

That's pretty recent. So much so, I'm not sure if the cement is even dry yet or whether things will stay the way they are or get rebalanced again in the future. Hopefully whatever balancing they do is conducive to compelling gameplay.
>there are like 8 open planets, one of them has this modifier, play the other 7 then
What if the planet with the shitty condition is part of some mission?
>wait it out?
I assume the environmental effects are on some kind of timer then. How long do they last? If it's only 20~30 minutes that's not too bad but if a planet has shitty weather all day and that's your day to play, you're kinda fucked unless...
>use your support weapon stratagems that are almost as powerful as airstrikes and you already have them on your person?
If they're a viable answer to environmental issues alongside the weapon buffs, then that's good. Ideally, there should be a number of different options with pros and cons at the player's disposal to give them agency in how they tackle the challenge.

I've waited almost 2 years for shorter missions. There is nothing to defend here.
I'm tired of games only having game modes that last 25-40 minutes at a normal pace. We have the same problem in Space Marine 2, where all missions are 20 minutes if you're fast, but can easily take 35 minutes if you encounter resistance. The existence of long missions is not a problem, but the lack of short missions is.

>there are like 8 open planets, one of them has this modifier, play the other 7 then
not a valid excuse. Half of those planets are for a faction I don't want to fight, cutting it down to 4. Of those 4 maybe 1 of them has the biome I like, but it has unfun conditions that affect the fun stratagems. When you say 8 it sounds like a lot but effectively it's even worse than darktide, and that's saying something.

This whole live service game remotely locking players out of maps and modes is pure cancer. If it's on my hard drive I should be allowed to play it without permission from Stockholm.

It's not that most darktide players dislike the setting, it's that it has more players that do than other games.
I've noticed desire for subversion and apathy towards the setting as a whole is higher here than other places where such games are mentioned or discussed.

Here it is in the RT rulebook. It's a bit vague, all it says is that some features don't work if you don't have the space marine implant/biomod.
Except bolter bitches have their own ghetto version with the metal plugs which isn't mentioned here.
But again, you can just put it on.
Also in the Only War rulebook, I can't see PA at all, they only go up to carapace. Which makes sense what with them being just guardsmen.

I'm relatively new to ratclick and if you're starting out I'd say Kruber or elf. Kruber is almost a jack of all trades but once you play the others you realize his dodge distance and attack speed is underwhelming, yet that's still a good thing early on because it'll teach you to position correctly and time your attacks properly.
Saltzpyre and Sienna are a bit gimmicky and less suited for teaching you the basics. Elf is strong but can teach you the wrong habits early on.
I don't play Bardin much so I can't say.

Yeah. This is a bit complicated to talk about because early space marines were more like what Arbites are today, just dudes with PA rather than post human giants.
So depending on what you're playing they author might invent whatever he needs to work with the scale and light power amor seems to only exist in the RPG books, although I am certain that inquisitors in PA were always a thing and they obviously aren't marines.
Probably best to just say well there are different models, pick whatever you want.

>I don't play Bardin much so I can't say.
Ironbreaker is the easiest class to play in the game and probably the best up until you get into organized teams where your role in the team actually matters rather than the every man for himself style you get in quicklay.
But you don't get ironbreaker immediately, you have to play ranger first and that's not nearly as easy, ranger is a much more nuanced class that will torture you for lacking the basics.

Because this game actually isn't that fun when you're super organized.
>okay we have identified 8 hold spots on this map. We will go here, where you will stand in this spot, dodge no further than this point so that the back line has room to shoot and leftclick until the enemy is depleted, at which point we will move on to spot #2 or 3 depending on what the game director throws at us.
Playing this game right and proper competently is not fun.

In theory, the ones that have the machine gun. In reality, the ones that aren't literally niggers that can't even bring an elf to the fight because no elf would hang out with them due to their overwhelming niggery.

>>495442040
The rejects would slaughter them instantly. They have no toughness, they'd be gunned down instantly. 1 Reject vs the U5 might be a challenge.

>>495442040

The U5 are named heroes who have earned the reputation of doing great things against impossible odds. They're treated as a big deal in their own games, contrast to the rejects who are supposed to feel like dispensable fodder (who ARE stronger than their superiors admit but still not heroes).

Rejects can dodge, slide, sprint, have much stronger abilities and talent trees, and have guns. They wipe the floor with U5.

Power armor was a richie rich thing you could get if you hand enough money, you used to have imperial operatives equipped with it including the vague "imperial assassin" unit on the 2nd ed table top. Polymorphine was also something handed out like tictacs.

I'm not even bothering with aurics for the time being.

Well, maybe a tad easier, but still enough to make you put in a bit of work.

I do enjoy the tac/combat axes, and they're both also really strong.
Original Chain Axe fucks pretty well, but it's a lot harder to use in mixed hordes than the new Evi.
Crusher makes the game stupidly easy for the most part.
Heavy Sword is either really fun or really impotent depending on what you're fighting.
Ironhelm TH + Martyr is fun and decent. Might be good, but I don't run THs much, and last time I used the Ironhelm they took a shit on its moveset.

It's slowly starting to get slotted into the story though. Of course the part about soloing 15 bosses per mission is just gameplay contrivance bullshit, but story wise the superiors are starting to notice the player characters can do stuff.
>>
>>495458382
People aren't arguing about that. The argument is:
>lore wise, we are rejects
The point against is:
>Lore wise, we are rejects who have risen to the rank of inquisitorial agent, and all the ingame dialogue adjusts to also treat us that way, provided we don't keep playing uprising. The story pans out (and has since day 1 the game was released) to let us stop being rejects and become respected operators with inquisitorial rosette, and some NPCs even call us shit like "the hero of atoma!"

There has been no counterpoint to the latter yet, just senseless shitposting. Recently, the marketting material has even stopped using the r-word to refer to us. Although I'd argue that was always just CMs not giving a fuck rather than actual story vision.

Most of the zealot's powers are down to gameplay contrivance. Most of what you see during gameplay is pure gameplay contrivance, it's sort of hard to sift through it all and be able to determine whether or not "this works that way".
Almost everyone are actually completely mundane, powerless humans.
I would suggest doing some reading instead of looking to darktide to figure out how the setting works.

>>495462392
Isolated from the gameplay, but yes, that's generally how the video games are treated.
It's not that the video game is a depiction of the setting, it's that the video game is based on the setting, and absolutely nothing that happens is actually canon unless specifically referenced in a novel or codex or something.
That's not to say that the events of the game are strictly not canon, but it's to be understood that titus didn't solo an ork invasion and daemonic incursion by dodgerolling 300 times and kiting bloodletters with a melta gun, the actual documentation of the events will usually be really light on details and otherwise left in a sort of canonical limbo until retroactively canonized.

There were quite a few people that pointed out that most of vermintide is also game contrivance and doesn't actually make sense under any scrutiny.
>>
>>495463245
But you're arguing that their accomplishments should be isolated within it's own game, who cares if the rejects become famous heroes of the empire each on the path to becoming an Inquisitor themselves. Just say the game didn't actually happen. It would be like gothic armada 2 opening up with Spire as a captain again because anything else would "break the lore".

>>495463020
They were blessed by Sigmar (and the elf was blessed by their heathen gods as well I'm sure). As for the rejects, in 40k the sisters of battle channel miracles through their devotion to the emperor regularly. Caiphas Cain is blessed with the emperor's luck and should be dead multiple times over by now. Don't get me started on how Ork teck works. The rule of cool trumps things regularly in the setting.

Things like the veteran shout that buff people's toughness or Zealot's holy chorus that knocks back enemies and buff teammates are there for gameplay purposes but they're not outside the realm of in-universe powers.
>"They're not named characters!"
Again, the player named them >>495340334. We are manifesting the emperor's will with our characters. That's my meta-commentary on the gameplay. The second we stop directing our characters' actions is the second they lose the divine blessing of the emperor. They'd immediately get gunned down or fall to heresy being surrounded by all that heretical shit down there.

In our own way, we're pulling a Cain-style upset to our superiors. Originally we were sent down to Atoma and were expected to die during said mission but ended up coming back. So they just kept on sending us on more dangerous missions always expecting us to die but we never did. As long as our characters are instruments of his will, they will be under his divine protection. The emperor protects.

That's all well and good but there's a certain point where no excuse can be made for a lack of statistically visible contribution. You can't progress through a mission without killing anything; if your teammates all have killcounts that significantly surpass yours, then it doesn't matter if you hid while they fought and therefore have less damage.
to that point, the shitter in that scoreboard didn't even have the least damage taken, so he couldn't even hide WELL

I'm glad you're enjoying Martyrdom. It's very op and super fun. It depends on not using the Evis though.

>Heavy Sword
Is still great because it can 1 shot Mutants and Ragers with all the damage blessings, perks and Martyr going. Evis can 1 shot them too, but only with heavy rev attacks. The Heavy Sword can kill 2 Ragers in 1 fast swipe and keep going which is huge for the 15 Rager packs we get and it works great on the Mutants maelstrom modifier.
>Thunder Hammers
I don't like the Crucis, but it's not bad. Ironhelm is really solid. It struggles against huge Rager and Mauler packs, but if you bring Throwing Knives and Flamer it completely makes up for all the weapons weaknesses. Mean while it gives you amazing boss damage and with Fury you can take out 2 Crushers easily and knock over the rest 1 by 1. Really great weapon over all.
>Chain Axe IV
With Martyrdom and all the damage bonuses going, you can rip and tear through Mauler and Crusher packs by simply mashing left click. It will take like 4 quick swings per Mauler and Crusher which adds up to be about 1 second.
>Knife
The og knife is still one of the best weapons because the whole Zealot kit lends itself really well to going fast out on your own and the knife helps a lot with that.

Depends on what you mean as stable. Ultimately it doesn't have as much replayability as other games in the genre, so it certainly won't remain as big as it is now, but I doubt the playercount will dwindle to nothing any time soon.

its got 6 maps where the missions are randomized and you go to different parts ect ect, its technically got more replayability than darktide especially since theyll come out with more maps and stuff way faster than fatshark but when you look at SM2 combat vs darktide its not even close.

Darktide missions are more randomized than SM2's "go to the left side of the chamber this time instead of the back or right side" just with variations on spawns and mission conditions.
I like SM2 better than Darktide but the missions get old really fast.

Perhaps? Financially, it's not as important for a game like SM2 because it has a single-player campaign which was the big selling point. There's content to consume and be done with. Something like DT, HD2, DRG, and similar multiplayer-focused titles have a budget set that should include a roadmap that justifies the game + the cash shop stuff. Looking at DT,
https://steam-revenue-calculator.com/app/1361210/warhammer-40000:-darktide
I don't know how much DT made from cash shop shit but supposedly they made 55 million in revenue from game sales.

I just roll my eyes at the fags who say a game failed because the player count dropped after it sold way more copies than it needed to break even.
>>495491036
You want to get the best weapons and all the blessings. If you're a collector autist, this of course goes for all the weapons. After that, it's just achievement hunting and penance farming for special titles, gear, and frames.

>>495491469
When they add conditions to SM2 it may tilt in its favor, at the moment most of the enemies are the same, defeated with simpler, slower gameplay loops (not necessarily a bad thing, Darktide gets too spazzy), I'd say no one cares about the pickups besides armory data but finding gene-seed is about as exciting as finding grims and scrips, except it doesn't give the team a penalty like carrying a grim does.

I'm curious why you think SM2 has mission randomization unless you really think switching where a console is between runs constitutes a major variation. Maybe I'm missing something that would've kept me from getting bored after levelling Tac and Bulwark both to max and just getting immensely bored at the bullet sponge Thousand Suns and Tzaangors and the same Neurothrope that spawns every other run near the start of that first jungle mission.

What are you even playing the game for? For me, I enjoy the challenge and the intensity the higher difficulties offer. If you're no longer having fun with the game and feel it has nothing left to offer you I'd say move onto something else and wait for more content to drop for it.

Penance hunting is a big part of completing the game if you're looking for something to do. If you haven't gotten Auric Storm Survivor or at least Auric Exemplar, I wouldn't say you've beaten the game yet.
>I beat all the missions in standard mode on damnation difficulty!
Yeah, sure, you "beat" it.
>>495492647
Offhand I couldn't tell you. At least for all the weapons I use on the regular I pretty much have all the blessings I want for them. I don't need all the gun blessings for Pysker so I may not have some of those. There are also some newer weapons that I haven't focused on that are missing some as well. Again, I'm not worried, I have a big enough catalog of weapons and assorted blessings that I can swap out to all kinds of shit if I feel like something is getting stale.

What's with the fags hatting martyr builds? I've played with all three capstones and though you do things differently all three were fine with a chianaxe.

I get hating knife faggots who run forward when its not helpful but is this just numberfags who demand everything be optimized?

i don't have competent friends to play with and i don't want to carry randoms so i'm not touching auric until they add bots like VT2. damnation is already not fun about 50% of the time because people drop in with level 25 alts and spend the whole game needing to be picked up off the ground. i know, i know - cope, seethe, etc. but it is what it is, playing with randoms has been a pain point for me since the advent of online multiplayer cooperative/team games so i don't see that changing before i die of old age.

Not even a little. It's got a good base, but most of the classes are limited to basically 1-2 weapons and if they are on other characters you still have them leveled up which means that you have even less work to do in a game with barely anything to do. It's a nice 20 hour campaign, if you play on Angel of Death, and probably another 100 hours to play after with Operations and maaaaybe another 100 if you like PVP, but it doesn't have the 500-1000 hour mileage that Darktide has. That said there's nothing wrong with that. The game is great, you'll get your money's worth for sure.

Not him but, I dunno man I've had 3-4 consecutive no death runs in auric maelstrom about half a dozen times and then we have a party wipe because some weird circumstance fucked us over. Then again it could be somebody playing drunk, because I often play drunk. Hell I'd play HD2 drunk while listening to a lecture about napoleonic warfare on T10 and still not die once. I don't say that to brag, I say it to shit on any of the tryhards who actually care about some imaginary leader board in a coop-op game made for goofing off. I frankly don't give shit and I'm glad it makes people mad; like that twink people always bring up. But I can see how guys like me would piss somebody off if you really wanted that survivor title, competent bots would let them do that without getting pissed as much.

Note that I actually find bots easy as shit, bugs I actually have to try because of they force so much kiting. You can solo T10 bots if you are willing to be a sneaky faggot and waste 40 minutes of your time, bugs however I'd actually not be confident in soloing all the objectives or even winning depending on the mission.

It's time to go to bed old man. Yes, yes, back in your day channel 3 was how you played video games, I get it.

>>495494478
there's no filter or ELO system to stop third worlders playing on an xbox with a dialup connection from torpedo'ing games. i'm fine with that kind of thing in large scale team games like idk planetside or something but intimate 4-man teams with time limits and limited consumable resources is not it. maybe the party finder tool this anon is talking about >>495494991 will help alleviate this but otherwise i'd literally rather not play at all because it's no fun having to drag other people through the game.

Somebody was bitching I was running it after having run stealth zealot for a week and gotten good at that, so I wasn't doing amazing with the new build or anything but I went down once and and afterward he was bitching that the build was shit. And I was thinking "Fuck man we won easy, what's the problem? More kills for you right?" Then I looked around and saw others sperging out about it. I don't usually bother to interact with anybody I don't know the "community" trends.
>>
>>495494670
It's kinda depressing that even PD3 has that, or at least solo with bots. I dunno if it has private lobbies.
>>
you WILL play in my aurics by force
>>
>>495496098
Be confident in the knowledge that they are faggots and martyrdom is fine.
>>
How good are the bolt pistols
>>
>>495494058
Never seen that. Martyr is good, especially on TH and the chain weapons.
>>
The worst I've gotten with Martyrdom is people green stimming me thinking they are trolling and then I just get hit once and I'm back to where I was.
>>

>>495497382
it's the pistol for people who can't click heads.
Also with the blessing for the close range explosion, it weaves nicely on a Weapon Specialist vet.
>>
>>495497382
I didn't like it from what I played with them, but I spent all of one game with it so I can't really judge it fairly. I just remember it not one-shotting specialists and rolling my eyes at it. I would imagine it works better with the right talents and blessings.
>>
>>495496295
I will not play in your aurics till they give me a two handed power halberd/greatsword, a new class, and actually good bolters
>>
>>495498529
they tweaked the bolter at some point and it feels pretty good now. i refuse to aim that shit i only magdump. 15 bullets hurts though.
>>
why do some players think they're too good for picking up plasteel?
>>
>>495498945
MUST

KEY
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HELP ME NIGGERMAN
THE TRAPPER
>>
>>495498945
I still get teammates who open a box and ping diamantine or plasteel for someone else to pick up because they think it isn't shared.
>>
>>495498804
bolter always felt good on trooper to me. they're the only class with enough talents for stability and reload speed to really take advantage of them.
>>
>>495497382
About to be buffed.
>>
>>495499095
On the other hand, zealot's got throwing knives that can be used for special killing duty and for animation cancelling.
>>
haven't played darktide in a year, kind of want to play again and git gud with the vet
>>
>>495491261
I miss the shredder so fucking much bros

On Auric Maelstrom that might be a bit of a tossup. I'd want a strong 4 man team for that content. I don't want to have to drag some limp dick through that content.
>>
>>495505679
>no meaningful way
>completely overhauled crafting so you can turn your weps into what you want and no more gambling for high rating weps (this has been preventing me from trying out weps like THs and more)
>new blessings to mess around with so it'll be gameplay content even if you're a mentally ill gacha addict and did EVERYTHING already
>talent changes that seem fun for psyker, if a bit OP
>even a short lil train mission
>no significant changes
I think you are extremely bitter
>>
>>495512447
Nah I meant what I said. Auric maelstrom is completely braindead easy with 4 competent players. If you dont think so you arent and havent played with somebody actually competent

t. had fun for a while soloing auric maelstroms with the mod. I went back to pugging though because playing with randos causes fun hijinks due to how bad they are. My winrate is something like 9 out of 10 games, and I tend to leave games that are boring cause of a good psyker/plasmavet cleaning the whole map up by himself
>>
>>495512520
>no new weapons
>no new classes
yeah, no meaningful way, I'm not entertained by what's on offer, why would I care that they finally put a bandaid on crafting while failing to let your stats go to 100 and keeping all weapons locked to individual characters?
>>
>>495512872
>it may have all that but it doesnt have the two things i would rather have
holy fucking embittered woman
>>
>>495513234
I'm not interested in getting a Legendary Pointy Metal Rod [+Nails Blessing] [Really Hurty Blessing], dorktider. Tell them to add real 40k weapons and I'll consider switching off actually fun coop games for yours.
>>
>>495513424
good for you, I am looking forward to being able to change blessings freely. That alone will give me many hours of enjoyment
>>
>>495513424
I cant believe people still spout this "no 40k weapons" shit even though your best options for weaponry in the entire game are the plasma gun and power sword on vet and evisc/chain axe on zealot
>>
>>495513845
not enough 40k weapons*
>>
>>495514203
Cool backpedal after you were acting like you're forced to use an ogryn club. You people just WANT to be miserable
>>
>>495513845
>evisc
there is no evisc in darktide, there is a slightly oversized chainsword, but no eviscerator, nice try
>>
>>495510327
this looks so retarded
>>
>>495492063
I've played it the last couple nights and I'm tempted to just uninstall it again. It really feels like its missing something fundamental. It's like I'm grinding just for the sake of grinding. I don't really care about the heists, or the money. The rng of PD2 was really great for keeping people playing and getting whatever they get at the end of the mission, which sometimes also guided what kit they ended up using. Now you're just using a weapon to max it and then move onto the next weapon.
>>
>>495513424
define "fun coop games",knowing your kind you will probably say Left4dead
>>
>>495516512
helldivers 2, space marine 2, DRG (looking forward to rogue core alpha)

Well for coop you only need two other guys, which is even less than in Tide games. I can find games in VT1 still when playing at right hours, so I believe that coop in SM2 will be playable for long, it is a much bigger and more popular game from already established series after all.
PvP might be worse.
>>
>>495516660
It needs a few balance patches. Lord knows assault needs love, and the melta-crutch problem needs to be resolved.
>>
>>495517285
>The weapon is fun so it needs a nerf
Lol, this shit ruined helldivers. It's a coop game, it's not pvp, nerfs are not needed. Buff everything else instead.
>>
fatshark should remove all talent trees from they're games
>>
>>495517946
This, I buff myself by playing sedition, being grossly overpowered compared to the content? Now that's true fun
>>
>>495518337
Based. If only whingedivers could learn to play on difficulties below 10.
>>
Haven't played dartktide in two months, cant wait to run straight into aurics next week and be useless
>>
>>495516578
zamn...really had no comeback for this...
>>
>>495517285
its kinda of the same in the first game really, though i prefer the stormbolter because it goes brrrr
>>
>>495518614
twitch gamers must always play on the highest difficulty even if their iq is 93 and they cant actually handle it (it's actually because our weapons are underpowered)
>>
>>495519026
I ran straight into Aurics after not playing for months and immediately did better than everyone
>>
>I want solo mode!
its a mod

>but I want to have rewards too!
also a mod, ManyMoreTry, it even lets you pick the exact mission you want provided its been on the board in the past days

>but thats not official
you are standing in the way of your own happiness, not anyone else
>>
>>495498513
This is basically why I'm looking forward to the update. Theres so many weapons I try out that are like
>oh I bet this would be good if you minmaxed it with the right blessing and perks
>....
>I dont feel like gambling though
so I just go back to the ol reliable. Update will let me do it without the cancer gacha
>>
>>495483931
Other than your own posts, I meant.
>>
>>495517946
It isn't fun. It works incorrectly and is OP, trivializing game difficulty and bypassing it's mechanics. May as well use cheats when using it

>>495523906
matchmaking lasts ~1.5 to 2 hours so you may get people dropped into your lobby unless you wait for the mission to be off the board for a bit, ran into another guy trying to solo once and we decided to duo, was bretty fun but not what I had intended
