>>538485528Orks when?
Reminder: All codes posted will be wipes, play with randoms instead
>>538485609Hopefully never, let me live in blissful memory of SM1 and how fun the combat was against Orks. I don't want to ruin it with Space Marine 2Spongy
>>538485624Go away schizo.
The axe is actually quite good. Vanguard gets easy free grapple kills. Assault gets +50% gunstrike damage.
>>538485919>Assault gets +50% gunstrike damage.Assault used to have this without needing a parry stick, but apparently Saber thought that was broken despite Assault being in such a dogshit state back then.
>>538485919>Assault gets +50% gunstrike damageI don't vote to kick over any other loadout shit but if would if you're taking the fucking axe on assault into absolute over the fist or either sword.
>>538486039Based on that English I doubt you clear anything anyway
>>538485619It's been a bit since I ran Absolute Decapitation but this was in Ruthless since I was leveling up my power axe.I was scared for a second the unkillable lictor crawled its way in here.
>>538486307>he pressed F one too many times>that means he doesn't win on absoluteSure thing ruthlesslet
Yea, this weekly stratagem is easier than last week. I already did it twice (once I crashed right before trygon die)Having to fight only one field boss makes the mission do much easier. People are intimidated by the 25% health modifier but it is more manageable if you understand shield management. Needing to kill 2 fields boss lead to 2 major points of failure. Trygon is the easiest part of the mission in comparison.
Does killing an end-level boss grant armory data now too?
>>538486437Uh huh, sure thing kiddo
Beginner: the game just resolves around gunstrike and parry. Good players: the game actually revolves around funneling and nuking enemies while picking off dangerous enemies with guns safely
>already did weekly on both difficulties>bought what I could afford>barring spending 3+ hours per day playing stratagems for pocket change, half of which are shit, I can't earn more until next weekThey could increase daily rewards to 25/50 and it'd still feel somewhat slow
The hidden lictor modifier in yesterday vortex is alright, but the worst part was actually the hidden modifier that destroys your ability recharge.
>>538486487>but it is more manageable if you understand shield management.You can shield manage all you want until the game drops a Neurothrope, Biovores and a massive swarm to drop your health to zero.
>>538486821Good player: Doesn't dieBad player: DiesIts that fucking simple.
>>538486834The rewards for the dailies are insane. Because half the Operations suck anyway (Chaos) and then its just RNG on whether its a fun or absolute trash mode to play.
>>538487085That is the toughest part of the mission for sure but fighting the field boss check on 25% hp is only slightly harder or about equal to fighting them with blind and invincible lictor. However, only having to do that once per mission instead of twice per mission significantly raised the success rate. It is a bit of RNG but good teamwork/position can get through many variation. It helps having melta bombs to insta clear the summoned majoris/extremist or at least krak for the extremist.
>Join Stratagem>DEFEATBoy I love how long it takes to load into and out of these matches. I swear people are worse in Stratagems than in normal Operations.
>>538487613Hard stratagem is Absolute+, not regular Absolute.Saber is retarded, they need to balance Hard into just regular Absolute instead of like wave 15 hard siege mode.
Do we have any actual proof that there are hidden modifiers like enemies having increased HP in Stratagem Hard Any datamined numbers or anything?
>>538487793Anon, you can just play a mission of Absolute and then go into Hard Strat.My Stalker Bolt Rifle only needs five shots to kill a Nid in Absolute. In Hard Strat it's way more than five. I want to say eight minimum.
>>538487793you can just play it and feel itDatamining can give you the exact numbers but I know how my weapons should perform on absolute and they're not performing to that level in the mutators. Anything that you can count the number of blows will tell you immediately, stuff like sniper weapons or power fist.
>>538487880>>538488047Can someone do a webm comparison between absolute and stratagem hard?
Old Absolute was easy, most of the oldtimers here beat it.They buffed Absolute in 9.0, making it slightly difficult.Hard siege is Absolute up until wave 10, then they turn the difficulty up from that point forward by making you eat more damage.
>>538488187I can make one when I get home in a few hours.
>nothing but fucking space wolves and black templars all night>every last one of them is god awful and constantly dies>finally run into a fellow minotaur>complete back to back stratagems without a single death
>>538488660Its honestly amazing how Chapters attract certain players and their skill level can be determined before they even hit start.
Top 5 shitter chapters?Top 5 skilled chapters?
>>538489160Skilled: Blood Angels, Blood Ravens, Raven Guard, Crimson Fists, UltramarinesShitters: Black Templars, Imperial Fists, Space Wolves, Dark Angels, Salamander
>>538489160>top 5 shitter chapters>space wolves>black templars>white scars>deathwatch>le loyalist traitor legion
>>538489654>>538489576Why are space wolves so consistently bad?
Hard stratagem is Absolute+, so what's normal mode?
>>538489160I love Black Templars but I've never encountered a good one.
>>538489742Furrys are retarded
>>538489742The shitter list is clearly just the ones with hero cosmetics so its the youngling paypiggies who are using them.
>chaos player>look up their steam profile>9./10 times trans flag and anime profile picHuh?
>the new power axe spin attack is way too long and locks you into the animation so that you’re basically guaranteed to be hit by something during it>the enemy you attack is not staggered by it so he can interrupt you alsoBy the emperor!
Does Tactical's ranged damage class perk apply to the dot as well or is it just the initial flame on the pyreblaster
>>538489160I can't speak for any other Chapter, but Black Templars and Space Wolves are consistently shit.
>>538490201I believe burn is its own unique source of damage. I don't think it's affected by any of your Column 1 perks, but it is affected by the radius perk within its own tree. Note that it specifies "enemies within 10 meters TAKE 20% more damage." Meaning all sources apply.
>>538490102>an axe>more parry centric than swords>is -1 damage +1 speed versus chainswordsSaber is Saber
>>538490309Meant the team perk instead of class perk, but that logic probably applies to it as well. Guess I'm swapping back to the grenade regen until I finish grinding it to max
is there a way to disable the flame on pyrecannon I cannot see what I am doing with these retards blasting shit in front of me
>successor chapter I like is part of the cosmetic pack
>Talking about shitters >Two Templars in a Siege >They both die continuously First Siege loss in like, a month
lmao @ the samefag spamming 'muh templar bad' they're based afhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9GHQyrcqe4
>>538491104almost all of them play like shitThey probably think substantial is a good challengeI don't mind them having fun larping on easier difficulties but get them the fuck out of my lobbies. My fun in Absolute is derived from 3 well skilled dudes pushing their way through obscene odds with surprising efficacy, where everyone is doing their job and turning back the giant waves, not where one dude has to roll slop to survive the ringer long enough to sneak some hits in for an execute while 2 'crusaders' are on the floor.
>>538491104If they're so good, why have I never seen fucking one since release not die repeatedly in pubs?
>>538491558NTA but ever since the patch dropped I made a custom Black Templar and cleared both weekly hard strategems as Bulwark.
>Decapitation>Both other players are on their last life and below 30% HP>At the elevator to the last zone>Both other players are about to enter the elevator >One of them sees a nid and chases after it, away from the elevator>The other follows him>They both die to it >I go up the elevator and have to wait in the last room for 300s for them to respawn What is in a monkeys brain that they HAVE to chase every single thing they see, even when there was no point
Has anybody else tried the Marksman Carbine with the 1.5x headshot modifier that offers more ammo? Either I'm not sensitive to damage changes, or this thing deals way more damage than the stats imply. I'm not noticing any real difference between this version and the x2 headshot version, I am melting heads on Absolute.
>>538492623That is a big difference. Sniper and tact both have easy way to get ammo so there is no reason to pick the ammo version
>>538492742Not him but I only ever use it on vanguard>>538492623I've never noticed a difference that makes it worth sacrificing all that ammo for. It is faster to kill shit but you lose out on so much fly swatting potential which makes you have to run at every gaunt and goat instead of just shooting them and moving on.
>>538491104Both these fags are Templars and BOTH died in wave 3, 4 and 5.
>>538492742The question was mostly in regards to Vanguard, who has no way to recover ammo.>>538493027That's good to know. Honestly this has been a spotlight weapon for me, it works fantastic as a ranged dome deleter for grapnel setups.
>>538485624Wrong.
>>538489780Substantial
>>538489780Ruthless I think
Btw, weak tact is a hidden stratagem on ballistic engine hard. Queue in as tact and just ate shit
>>538492623The biggest and only notable downside is you can't mash M1 and maintain accuracy, you have to pace your shots. Otherwise it's good, I'd definitely rank it next to the Stalker, Bolt Rifle (Accuracy) and Heavy Bolter if you just want to shoot and not get bogged down in gimmicks.
So Bulwark shield is apparently meta now? I haven't played since launch and honestly back then the shield bash was pretty fucking middling. Do I take the shield buffing perks now and go to town with it?
>>538494641Nah, standard build is still stronger in general. Shield is still really good with minimal investment such as stagger and 15% attack boost on shield bash

>>538495061Never give up, never give in, Dude Wall dude.
judging from the exp you get hard isnt actually absolute, but lethal
>>538495942and judging by the 2 terminus spawns with accompanying extremis its absolute
>>538492623>>538494307Just an example video with the 1.5x version. I think this is me being overly cautious because I didn't want to miss shots, not shoot anything around this guy, while also being quick enough to not have the bots fudge the damage on display.IMO, Marksman Carbine is a really underrated gun. It never seems to get any attention.
i´m still fucking bewildered by the swap between the 20% ranged damage prestige perk and the 15% ranged damage tree perk on assault. the (now) 20% increased ranged damage is in the same row as 50% decreased chp decay and equipment generation so it never gets picked, and the prestige perk is 5% weaker now, so they effectively nerfed him for no fucking reason. its a tiny nerf thats not really noticable, but its so fucking random its testament to sabers incompetence.
>>538496672The perk system is a mess and what leads to such horrible railroading. I'd rather we be able to pick from ANY of the perks with a set limit of 8 vs. the garbage we have now.
>>538496859It's even easier to just pick the best 8 perks instead of having to make choice in a column
>>538496954The problem is the "choices" are "two mid perks that would be cute in a gimmick build, and one really busted perk that blatantly mogs them."
The burst pistol is really nice for triggering sniper's equipment perk
:O
All stratagems have done is made me feel confident in saying this game needs a complete bot overhaul patch pronto.I'm sat here in the elevator waiting for this assault and heavy bot to get into the elevator because unlike in good games where the bots are programmed to stick to the player, these bots are prioritizing chasing the constantly spawning minoris. Inb4>Just play with other people
>>538491104blacklist this guy immediately, he's a plague on every thread he slithers into, ask the Idolmaster fags or /hdg/ where he is semi-regularly dropping CSAM whenever he gets mad enough over the thread treating him like a criminal nigger in the Jim Crow south

Is bigger playerbase means the game is doomed to pander to mediocre player's feelings?
>>538500380>WWZ players having a choiceThere's like a hundred of you.
>>538500380WWZ mutators were played on insane difficulty, not extremeSM2 mutators are played on absolute+ where enemies even have more hp scaling than normal absoluteAnd that's besides classes working very differently and there being a lot less active defensive shit to manage that fucks up shitters if something goes wrong and layers on top of you, in WWZ your defense was purely getting temporary hp from one of your class perks which every single class had for doing default shit, not having to manage parries and executes amongst the tidesI've completed both weeklies thus far but something like the unkillable lictor is a different animal than the unkillable bull
>>538500446And they are happy with mutator. They either share tips and strat to take them on or skip the ones that aren't quite their level of their taste.
Decimus negatively impacts my experience every time he's present just because of that retarded voice actor they chose for him.
>>538500590I thought there were mutator extreme as well Yea, the invincible lictor is slightly stronger than invincible bull. Individually, bull is a stronger special than lictor. However, the invincible bull just fall over and lay there for a while before getting back up. It's easier to keep track of the bill and just take it down instantly the moment it gets up. Exterminator can straight up put fire claymore on the bull and blow it up as soon as it gets up. Invincible lictor just fuck off but can strike again in its own term which force you to engage in lictor gameplay again.
>>538495061I have some updates.Lamenter #2 mercifully fell in battle and has been replaced with a decorated veteran.
>>538495061Lamenter #5 has been seconded to the Deathwatch.
>>538495061And Deathwatch #17 has been returned to the Lamenters following his watch fortress' chaplain noticing the onset of the black rage.
>>538500993>I thought there were mutator extreme as wellNope, you can start it right now and tank some hits from common zombies, they're scaled to insane. Extreme zombies down you in like 3 hits while you can tank 5 or 6 on insane with some temp hp.Its not even how hard it is to keep track of the lictor or how much tankier it is (nemesis bull is just as tanky as a regular bull so you can trivialize him just as easy with just good tracking of his faceplate) but the fact that lictor attack patterns layer fucking horribly when stacked on top of other shit. If you think a terminus is ahead then you basically have to wait around for the lictor to pop out because if you don't and he appears during the terminus wave when you have 4 extremis and 13 warriors you have no way to actually defend against that. Even rollslopping might still get you caught. But he's too tanky to push through quickly and drive off (I almost think he disappears on a timer at this point, maybe reduced by dealing damage to him but not an actual HP bar) so you're stuck having to deal with 7 different medium enemies jumping on you on top of 20 gaunts and some neurothrope waves. Even if you make it out through that you're attritted of so much HP that some classes become mandatory since they have regen built into the kit

>>538494641No, the current weekly stratagem is more armor regen focused rather than CHP focused since taking a health hit ensures death anywayAny shit Bulwark taking shield bash builds after this week should be kicked
>>538506272Blood Ravens are jobbers. By the end of DoW2 almost entire chapter was destroyed.

All my dudes are raven guard and raptors, with death watch versions too. But my bulwark is black templar now because the new tabard with the classic helm and laurels looks amazing. Man I with raptors got their stuff along side the raven guard champ instead of sharks, going to be a long wait.

>>538486487I agree it's much easier but the amount of rng bullshit isn't any less.The modifier doesn't even work, I routinely get 10 majoris on screen during waves.
the speed upgrade saved the block chainsword

>>538514627Meanwhile Balanced gigachads would just unga bunga and they all die without the threat of losing their armour.
>>538500380WWZ has fast, fun combat with barely any grinding. SM2 is slow, laborious, repetitive and has MASSIVE grind walls involved. The problem isn't the modifiers, its the fact that people play WWZ for fun and SM2 to get gear thats slapped behind terrible chores.There are harder games than SM2 that dont get this problem at all, like Vermintide 2s chaos waste mode, because they dont lock progress behind it. You just play to have fun.

You know it's a Blocknigger when its the first area and they already lost half their HP.
How to fix block; remove it from the game.
i just saw a tactical oneshot a biovore during auspex and he's carrying a combibolterfucking cheaters man
>>538517540Isn't that just the keystone perk where tactical can immediately kill a majoris/extremis with a headshot?

>>538518505Fix those lenses.
>>538519413there is zero documented video evidence of fencing or balanced being better than block, only desperate posts in this general. even bulwark is superior with block now that his broken 250 aoe damage perk works with block
>>538520218The fact that fencing users don't die to basic shit is proof enough
>>538520218You're getting baited mate stop giving him yous
>>538520218>there is zero documented video evidence of fencing or balanced being better than blockCope
fencing deals so little damage that its users have resorted to rolling around planting melta bombs, and even get mad if you dont use the infinite grenade perk because "you arent playing right"

>>538522386Just post code
>>538522186>Carcharodonsnahz
>>538521674They should just merge Fencing and Balanced since their userbase is the same. Balanced shouldn't exist, there's no point for that delay and Fencing shouldn't be low damage and pure speed.Leave Block as the contrarian slow option, Fencing gets -1 or -2 damage but more speed, cleave and the usual Fencing noob circle. Change Heavy's melee to Fencing, when they give Straban his Gravis armour switch it to Block and for every perfect block he shits out grenades/missiles.
>>538522885Straban is already wearing gravis armor
Why is Straban like this? Decimus was just trying to be bros because Straban is in the thick of it.
>>538523396he's not an ultramarinehe's a son of dorn/olympia
>>538523250Not an Aggressor, Vespasius should also get Gravis armour so he can use the Assault bolter and Plasma exterminator.
>>538523396Straban is just no nonsense and to the point, if he meant anything by this he would have just said nothing or told Decimus to shut the fuck up

>>538534418Obviously not, iirc Saber even said so when they were asked about the incorrect actor name in the subtitle. Could've been just Titus hallucinating.
>3 Neurothrope spawns in a rowJUST
Haven't played Absolute Decapitation in a while, do you guys have a general idea where the terminus spawns are?What I've got are>In the first big open area before entering the demolition site with the burning pipe>Inside the demolition building>In the building after the swarm section but before the tyrant gets out of the rubble>Elevator roomCan a terminus enemy spawn before the final saferoom?
>>538534341reddit is two blocks down
>>538535160Where do the Terminus enemies spawn in the trygon mission? I only needed to clear Hard Weekly once so I'm only aware of the spawn in the brain room.I've seen people get it out in the dunes at the start too.
>>538535374>Can a terminus enemy spawn before the final saferoom?Yes and they do so very often, once had a double zoan+biovore hold a corridor and it was absolute hell
>>538535901Was it in the double corridor room immediately before the saferoom or right after the elevator?
>XIVwhat did they mean by this?
>>538536236Either they got really experimental and made a mark 14 chainsword or we looted it off a Death Guard.
>>538536094Immediately before the saferoom, double corridors room with a giant hole in the center
>>538527464i am ashamed of myself; i could not complete my boasti'm sorry i failed you brothers
>>538536382Interesting.What's the earliest you've gotten a terminus spawn? Has it ever occurred before the open area before the demolition building?
>>538536742Inside the cathedral itself at the beginning, when you climb up the stairsThat's the earliest I remember
>>538536626The Vanguard is still continuing the fight and I ran out of ammo.
>>538536948Jesus, right at the fucking start? That's even earlier than the Inferno spawn after the burning Chimera or in Reliquary before you even get inside the tomb.
Hard weekly in progress99GQH
>>538536626see >>538537602Unless you actually quit.
>Necron Tomb arena>Finally got a chance to play as a Helbrute>Objective is in the middle>I get there>Enemies attack me>I try to hide behind a pillar to play cover shooter which seems to be the way to do so>Tank controls completely fuck me over and I drop into the abyss, functionally griefing my team>Never got to make a single shot even, played for like 20 seconds maybe
>>538534418yes, of course it was Calgar, why wouldn't it?
>>538538363An update a while back actually made it to [Mysteriois Voice] to differentiate it from Calgar.
>>538534418Yes but obviously the shekelmasters at GW wouldn't allow it so it's "ambigious"
>>538537790i'm too drunk now; i swear to the god emperor i unlocked the combi melta and xenophase sword through legal means.i'm not good enough
>>538537790Nah we wiped, I'm not going to bother with the stratagem shit. I will do the normal weekly but that's fucking boring and too easy.
>>538538814>>538538824I died 5 times I'm sorry
>>538536236funny; it's a 7th edition relic by the space marine codex : if it was anywhere near the codex version it would shred terminators like nothing else
>>538538824>>538538909god emperor forgive me; i'm sorry
>do a normal siege with randoms>everything is going fine, we work well together>they both quit after wave 15Why the fuck do people keep doing this? You joined a siege, just see how far you can get.
>>538538634it's okay, an update a while back made it so that space marines were made by a female scientist named Astartes, hence Adaptus Astartes. And that most primaris were older than firstborn, they just waited for their turn. Luckily I am the one who decides if I accept an update or not.
>>538539303siege is really long for fuck all; but i understand the problem; if nice cosmetics are locked behind people will get mad; if it's too easily reachable less people will get mad but still
>>538539303Siege mode is a commitment, if they're just trying to unlock colours it's fine to bail.
>>538539303incorrect. you joined the siege to get three gacha tickets to maybe unlock red weapons. no pussy = no work, as simple as.
>>538539267That's 7 Neurothrope spawns for me already
>>538538634It wasn't an update, it was a fix, In the leaked beta version it was already a mysterious voice, only in the release version it became calgar and then fixed again into the mysterious voice, considering all that happened in godblight we can 100% be sure it was the emperor.

>>538545714Don't project your fetishes on me anon...
>>538539793It's kinda sad how much less fun neurothrope spawns are compared to helbrutes and carnifexes. They are either too easy because you're able to focus on dodging them or bullshit because you get an unfortunate spawn and they just force a critical existence failure on you by locking you into a bad situation.I was trying to carry my friend through absolute termination yesterday as flamer tactical. We ran into a neurothrope just before the cave section, the other two went down, random guy left, and then I choked and died. Second run, neurothrope in the same area; no third guy, friend goes down, I focus and manage to fight through all the warriors to take it down. I just barely have time to breathe out and say "well, at least we're through that so now we're much safer for the rest of the mission" before the game hits us with the neurothrope spawn noise again with perfect comedic timing.Third run I bring bolter to handle any neuro spawns since the flamer wasn't working for that for me. 2 carnifex spawns that I could handle with a bit of focus and knife + pistol while the other squad members died/handled majoris spawns.It was a happy ending at least.
>>538545714stop repressing it anon; embrace your bisexuality
>>538545150god forbid a man puts some work to make a video about his hobby to earn some money
This is why I take HBP when I fight tyranids, to contribute to thrope spawns.Also, I kind of hate Carnifexes because of their ranged attack and the fact that they don't have stagger animations.

Some stratagems have more than four modifiers active but their fucking UI only has space to show four. Yesterday's Vortex had the unkillable Lictor even though it wasn't displayed, and today's Ballistic Engine has the ''don't play Tactical'' modifier even though that's hidden as well. Also the Combat Mastery effect apparently applies to enemies as well.Why exactly this patch did not go on the PTS first is beyond me.
>>538552057uff, weit daneben
40k is a shooting game in case you forgot
>>538552779That's not what Tovarishch Grigorenko had in mind when he laid out his creative vision for SM2!
>>538552370I genuinely thought hard missions are supposed to have a hidden modifier. didn't the one yesterday have one too even though three were displayed in ui?
Would a non weakened hive tyrant absolutely smack the space marines booties?
>>538553726Genuinely would have melted them with psyker energy the second they entered the room.

I shoulld buy Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 - 2-Year Anniversary Edition or Standard Edition and then Season Pass 1 + 2 bundle?
>>538554972no, you should buy some additional english lessons
How do I use the magic sword? Getting bored of the turbo fist
>>538554972buying standard edition and then separately season passes looks more expensive to me2 year anniversary seems to be the cheapest and fullest option
>>538554972You save a few bucks buying the 2 year one. Now go be a good little pay piggy
Space marine 2 is the dark souls of warhammer games.
>>538556000Dark Souls is well made. SM2 isn't.
At least Space Marine 2 wasn't made by Fatshark
>>538557482>Dark Souls is well made.

Hello, Brother. This is Captain Diomedes, requesting an update to the Dude Wall. Recent events have allowed me to update my wargear to better reflect my image in Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising, the best expansion.Blood Ravens cosmetic pack, when?
Come on, man. How does something like this slip through the cracks? Was the shoulder not tested to see how textures are applied to it? How do you not notice decals on it look like a melted candle?
Daily reminder for our more fashion-inclined brothas.
>>538559285>Blood Ravens cosmetic pack, when?Not anytime soon...But I'm holding out hope that the redacted pack is them.
>loads in with multi-melta>left clicks everything for muh scoreboard epeen>refuses to give a single execute to team>grab every ammo box>grab every stim>grab relic>find a stim at 99% hp while already holding 2x in inventory>both teammates have mortal wounds>uses a stim to 'top off' and sneers at the NPCs for taking damage to begin with>offer a handshake>cancel the animation right before they interact and type PSYKE LMAO in chat>type 'you're welcome for the free carry' or 'my back hurts' on the victory screen>goes on schizo rants on /sm2g/ about how Tact needs nerfs Who am I
>>538559285Ushabti Bone is so much better than Corax White, and I say this as a Raven Guard main who uses the former for veterancy. It borders that perfect middle ground between a very light tan, but also looking like a dirty white. Makes it look like your marine has been out in the field for so long the white has become bleached by the sun and dirt.
Why does hp damage on dodge triggers reddit so much? It just punish players with poor mechanics instead of punishing the team for shit teammates like in VIP stratagem.
>>538559285Received, Brother Captain.
>>538560274Ushabti used to look so much better in 1.0
>>538560409>Dodge Biovore spore mine spam>Take damage anyway>Dodge the Devourer firing at me immediately after>Take damage anyway>Dodge more spore mines coming my way>Take damage anyway>Dodge the Zoanthrope beaming me next>Take damage anyway>Carnifex wants a piece of me now with the unblockable leap>Take damage anyway
>>538559926Nta but I think redacted is Retributors, based on one of the leaked cosmetics being a shoulder cape which the captain(?) wears
>Black Templars are the most common marines running around the game in PvE and were even before the champion skin>They vary wildly in capability with most being rushed jobbers, clearly with limited experience and skill>Despite being clear scout marine tier they are in full astartes plate - BT do not have scout's.>Run off and die on their own more than not>Sigismund decreed a Templar should never back down from a challenge no mater the odds>Most of the tears being shed over Templar's naturally being Templar's is coming from either codex compliant wimps, administratum stooges like Minotaurs or pseudo hipsters mad their OG Legion is not even 10% as popular.>Templars continue to show up anyway and gladly serve the GOD Emperor in lethal combat.Lore accurate.Everyone continuing to complain about BT are secondaries and likely projecting, confirmed.
>>538561538But that pauldron is already labelled as a blue shekel reward. And they wouldn't start putting something in the game now that they'll only release 8 months later.
Think well get a nid vs chaos op that doesnt suck ass
>>538561538>based on one of the leaked cosmetics being a shoulder cape which the captain(?) wearsActually gonna nut.
Brother with CTD problems here. I'm writing this for any Brothers who might encounter similar headache. It turned out the undervolting on my 5090 was causing the game to fall on its face. Reverting it to stock values brought back stable gameplay. Funny, out of dozen games I've tested, new and old ones alike, SM2 is the only game that has problems with undervolting. I'll tinker with the settings to see if it generously allows any voltage/memory headroom. Love me some russian coding.
>>538563017Strange, I've undervolted my 3080ti to keep the temps under control and never had this issue. Maybe you went a little too far?
One thing I've always hate abput the space marine series is that it doesn't depict the durability of power armorLike how the fuck am I getting chipped by shitty single lasguns shots that can deal hp damage?What the fuck is the point of the 2000 lbs of ceramite I'm wearing then?
>>538563327That's possible. The temps and power draw were excellent with the settings though. I will try to lower the clocks on my current voltage or increase it in steady increments and see how the game likes that.
>>538562197oh sweet summer child
>>538563017i have to lock my cpu to 8 cores, and running it in full screen instead of borderless window helps
>>538561538redacted is gonna be some renegate imperium aligned chapter or something unconventional like legion of the damned.
>>538559402This issue is also present on the default heavy shoulder and some vanguard/sniper shoulders as well and has not been fixed
In order for Assault to be equal to Vanguard>While in the air you are immune to all damage from all sources (no prestige point needed) >Using your jump instantly gives you 1 armor >Landing a kill with your jump instantly gives you 1 armor >Every kill of Extremis enemies gives you 30% HP>Every kill of a medium enemy using a ground pound regenerates your skill And what I love is that this can be done on weapons too, in order for any bolter to be on par with the Pyreblaster>Penetrates an infinite number of enemies at close range >Applies a bleed, causing significant damage over time>Increases all melee damage by 20% when bleeding >Can be hip-fired and wipe out hordes (no head clicking required) I just can't fathom how Saber got to this point, except that the creative director is holding back everything because he 'thinks' he knows best.
>>538562197Ah I didn't know that, bummer in that case probably not
>>538563017>>538563327I will go with higher clocks, something around 2900@900mV. I just don't like my card heating up too much, though it's still reasonable around 65C at stock. I hate the fact that they essentially released 50 series as overclocked versions whereas in the past it was up to users whether they want to go overclocking route. These days it seems it's done at manufacturer level and the task to bring down the TDP to something more reasonable is shifted onto users instead. >>538564001That's peculiar. 9950x3d, right? I gotta ask out of curiosity, did you have similar crashes before you did all that?
>>538566521I don't know if this can be done but bolters should be able to equip different kind of ammo, plus the ammo should go through minoris, while it gets "stuck" in majoris and anything above and deals more damage after 1s to simulate the exploding projectile.
>>538567381>I don't know if this can be doneIt could be, but it won't be for SM2, would require a significant rework on how bolters work. Our only hope is that for SM3 they make a different game closer to the tabletop/lore instead of whatever the hell SM2 is trying to be.
>>538567512Ah yes, tabletop and "lore" where bolter and every other weapon power is as powerful or as ineffective as the plot/gameplay needs to be
>>538568821Tabletop is very god damn clear on how stuff works anon
>made it to siege 15 with a level 1 bulwark blood angel and a level 21 crimson fist heavyShit was actually fun had to call in the dreadnought at the end though.
>>538567381This tiered variant system shouldn't exist. The ideal system should have been a progressive research tree system ala MGSV where you unlock new Bolter patterns. At first, the only thing you can change on each Bolter is its ammo type, but then once you achieve an in-game rank of Veteran status or something, the game allows you to start Frankensteining the Bolters to your desired wants and needs, which is literally what high-ranking/respected marines are allowed to do with blessing from the Mechanicus.
We really need a system that doesn't let thropes spawn in tiny fucking hallways
>>538558218I take it on Sniper and drop the ammo Prestige perk for the bigger blast radius on Meltas. You get so much ammo that it's just impossible to run out. It works beautifully in tandem with Sniper's equipment restoration perk too.
>>538566521to be equal to vanguard and bulwark they need to patch the healslut perks out of the game. its attrocious gamedesign and assault will never find a spot on a serious team for as long as this isn´t generalized. otherwise assault unironically is in the best spot he´s been in since launch. we are slowly getting there bros, the running attack aoe is a small step in the right direction. i unironically find groundpound to be heavily overrated, i use dodgeQ
>>538570235but there i can hit them with my melee weapon
>>538570492People gonna lose their shit of that get removed even it is deserved because it'll make the game harder across the board.
vanguard heal is overrated esp for the actual hard content ala siege
They should increase health across the board and nerf the banner healA random ranged majoris can just demolish me by looking at me, and these spawns by the dozen now, shit is ridiculous
The solution to this heal problem is right fucking there; put in more medkits, remove the class heals.Jesus guys its not complicated.
>>538571308and saber is clearly banking on the game being hard as hell with stratagems bullshit
>>538523396He's an autistThe funnier thing is that it seems more like Decimus actually likes him or at least respects him more than the others, either for being immune to goading and mockery or for being kindred spirits in the purity of killing xenos and anger (and straban does get angry plenty, he just is quiet with it).
>Shitter Black Templar Bulwark and Space Wolves Vanguard honest to fuck just kicked me from the squad, the only person who hasn't gone down once, because I focused the fucking triple Lesser Sorcerers over the single HelbruteYou could not make it up lmao
>Your heart is as cold and still as stone>It merely steadies my aimIf only Straban understood how gangster he is
>>538572389On the bright side they 100% failed the mission after that
>>538572389>>538572473New boogieman?Imagine not having friends and having to pug.
>>538572270i love straban because of the "empty threat logged" at the end of the vox liberatis mission; he's jsut a little guy; he doesn't care about shit beside protecting his battle bros (that might be the only dialog where you hear him panicking) and killing shit
>>538571308nah, i mean that they should add general compensation. a bit of regen on majoris/extremis/terminus executes. not an absurd number like 30% on extremis, but something. i´d propose a tiny % on majoris execute and 5% on extremis, 10% on terminus. and i´m heavily in favor of streamlining executes to unclude gunstrike-finishers. for example heaving to actually E the enemy as heavy to get ammo back is asinine as fuck. having 2 healsluts that are basically mandatory on higher difficulty is awful gamedesign.
>>538572469he is a precious little killing machine indeed
>>538523396I would love it if they officially lifted the class restrictions and we could run any combination of battle-brothers we like. Imagine the bantz between 3 Strabans...
>>538572670them retaining the execute from sm1 open a huge ass can of worms they were not ready to handle
>>538572573Newfag
>>538572793>3 strabans>zero communication>good talk is he a gigachad ?
about that memeacheran is genuinely sending his best 3 men he has; each timewhen even tired sanguinary guard get rek'd by mere lictors when these 3 ultrmarines can take on several carnifexes per mission; they have a fuckton of plot armor
>>538566747no i have an i9 14900kf. space marine 2 wouldnt even start when i use all cores. i actually found this solution for space marine 1. but seems like a lot of games have trouble when you use more than 8 cores
>>538523396Because Decimus is an unhinged maniac even by Astartes standards, and no one likes him.
>>538573712i mean he's a bloody useless reiver; no one in the tabletop game like him either
>>538573902A space marine with a big cartoonish grappling hook gun looks so goofy, not to mention most of his torso just being unarmored.
>>538559926Weird they skipped out the Blood Ravens, there are more of them out there compared to the Raptors and Carcharodons.
>>538525270A HELDRAKE AGAINST THREE ASTARTES!THIS SHALL BECOME CHAPTER LORE!
>>538572573>New boogieman?Nope, they're all like this. Black Templars and Space Wolves go hand in hand as the dumbest motherfuckers in this game.
Just reinstalled Space Marine 2, it was fine a few months ago, but now it's extremely laggy.Did the update fuck it up?
>>538575204I think I ran into these retards before yeah they suck
>>538573902He’s not even a Reiver, because those guys don’t have Omni-Scramblers, and Decimus can’t use the Grav-Chutes. He’s some kind of bastard child between a Reiver, an Infiltrator, and an Incursor.
>>538575204>>538572389If you pop into a lobby and you see a BT and/or a Spess Woof just leave.
>>538573902He's a vanguard infiltrator. Reivers don't have omni scramblers.
>Take Bolt weapon on Nids>Does absolutely fine>Take Bolt weapon on Chaos>Feels like a Nerf gunThere shouldn't be this much disparity when Chaos Marines have less health than Nid Warriors and yet it doesn't feel like it.
>>538575928Isn't that lore and tabletop accurate?Chaos head hurtbox is a lot smaller than. Nids
>>538575928Probably because their heads are tiny.
>>538573712The only person Decimus has actual friction with is Vespasius, who also thinks Straban is weird.
>>538575928That’s because Rubric heads are super small.
>>538573902Valius = IntercessorVespasius = Jump pack IntercessorDecimus = Vanguard InfiltratorQuartus = Bladeguard VeteranScipius = Vanguard EliminatorStraban = Heavy IntercessorCaptain Scotland = Captain in Phobos armourTitus = LieutenantGadriel = Intercessor SergeantChairon = IntercessorLeandros = Chaplain
>>538523396Straban just has a bad case of gookbrain. If Valius and Straban are asain stereotypes, then Valius is the propaganda version of a factory worker. Joyful. Well liked. Inspiring.Straban is the real life factory worker.Little to no personality or emotions. Autism level charisma. Perfectionist chasing maximum efficiency.Decimus is a hot blooded jigaboo steeped in pride. His intersection with Straban was pretty spot on to how a real life scenario like that between those two types of personalities would probably shake out. They have an occupational obligation to hang out for long periods of time, so naturally the extroverted nigger would inevitably attempt to reach out to the introverted chink, resulting in the latter responding with struggled bare minimum microresponses until the nig catches on to the tism and smoothly aborts the interaction.
>>538576151>>538576171The stupid fucking ornamentation also does a great job of drawing your aim above their tiny heads.
>>538574510I'm guessing it's partly a courtesy thing because they're another game dev's homeboys so it's a little unethical to make money off of them.And I'm pretty sure the OG Blood Raven symbol is copyrighted, that's why you only see these shitty knockoffs like the one this game has. Kinda wish they had at least gone with the one used in Onslaught.
>>538576520>And I'm pretty sure the OG Blood Raven symbol is copyrightedPretty sure Gays Workshop owns the Blood Ravens, they were already a thing and was just a generic Eavy Metal chapter before being turned over to Relic to play around.
>vanguard steals all executions and equipment>is the first to go down>uses melee champion team perkDumb fucking subhuman.
>>538577186unless you were zapped straight into the game i never understood why people don't correct shitters about bad perks and practices
Is the big glowing orb above the vortex beast a weak spot?
>>538578424No.
>>538577186vanguard exists to steal kills from actually useful classes
>>538578424It has no weakspot. Enjoy doing 75% less damage.
>>538575928I refuse to take bolt weapons on Chaos, especially with the new Spawn enemies. Their heads are smack bam in the middle of the torso and impossible to see when they're spazzing out.
two heroic weapons or three armor parts?
>>538579182Armor parts, especially when there's a real possibility they might be on rotation. None of the weapons are worth it right now.
>>538579271>there's a real possibility they might be on rotationThis would be so fucking funny
>>538573553>sanguinary guardultramarines just built different>>538573712>is an unhinged maniac even by Astartes standardsNo he isn't, not by half.
>>538579271>on rotationThere's no way these slaveniggers would be that retarded, right?
>>538580101Nobody is as regularly retarded and angry as decimus except for the chapters known for being retarded and angry.
>>538580641https://youtu.be/MzXtLSoHiAU?si=35tDjsfHIz1U5yTu&t=89No, plenty of marines are aggressive because its their job to be professional soldiers
>>538581045That's not like decimus at all, that didn't even sound angry.
>>538581431blood ravens are constantly screaming in dow1/2
>>538581534I guess only Avitus comes close to getting as aggressive as Decimus but the Dow1-2 marines DO yell a lot.
>>538581534The only character consistently pissed off is avitus and it's a bitter, seething angry instead of a constant retard chimpout.Decimus sounds like he's on the verge of screaming when there isn't even anything happening.
>>538581431>relief at the interpersonal drama being interrupted by aliens to kill isn't aggressiveOh i see, you're just autistic and take offense to his tone. I don't know why you feel especially aggrieved because a man ankle deep in gore is yelling at some dumb bullshit to stop being dumb bullshit but you should probably hang out with men more often so you grow used to it
>>538581775Bro's entire lifespan is getting from one battle to the next until he dies violently. At least he enjoys his job. He just hates all the extra bs that comes with it.
>>538581912>Bro's entire lifespan is getting from one battle to the next until he dies violentlyYeah, that's literally everyone on the team.Titus basically single handedly stopped an ork invasion by killing a warboss, stopped a chaos invasion, killed an ascending daemon prince in an airborne fistfight, got imprisoned by the inquisition for years for doing so, had his entire deathwatch team die in an operation gone wrong, stopped another chaos invasion while an old subordinate treated him like a traitor the entire time and he was completely level headed for about 99% of this entire ordeal.Decimus is constantly angry to the point of parody, I'd only find it understandable if he was a flesh tearer or some shit.
>>538582503The codex astartes say Titus had unholy help
>>538582503He had tainted help, he must be investigated.
>give it zero weakspots in a game where most of the ranged weapons do jack shit with bodyshots>spawns a bunch of annoying tentacles that also have no weakpoints>make it almost impossible to melee in a game where at least a third of the classes and the combat system itself are melee oriented>make it throw out an attack that basically requires spam rolls to avoid>20 hit melee combo with no time for gunstrikes and timing so tight that balanced is fucked>another stupid melee attack that is accompanied by a gigantic AoE laser blast>healing phase that also throws ridiculous sponges at you that won't let you kill the healing chaffWhat is saber's problem?
>>538581775Or whenever he has do deal with technology.
>>538582503Decimus is the typical "it should've been me, not him!" retard, involve the codex astartes and inquisition was just a cheap excuse
>>538584629and chapter is just*
>>538583248>What is saber's problem?release now, balance later
What do you think Techmarine's class ability will be?
>>538585561Some sort of auto-counter ability where his automated mechandendrite bolter will gun strike targets dropping blue/red circles on him. Will hilariously make him one of the best melee classes in the game despite being the Astartes equivalent of a pencil pusher.
Imagine if having a techmarine around will just automatically speed up the segments where you have to wait for the machines to work properly.
>>538585561Can 'revive" machine spirits like turrets around him
holy shit this vortex beast fight is fuckednot a single part of this is fun
Which chapter is the most popular among Blood Angels successor chapters?Flesh Tearers or Lamenters? Because I wonder if Saber is going to make a cosmetic pack for them.
I am having a worse time on this weekly than last weeks, 25% health sucks, especially with the extra damage from enemies in hard mode
>>538586120Bulwark with armor regen and Heavy with 25% team-wide ranged damage resist is mandatory. Assault is actually decent this mission because the increased Minoris means he gets to spam invincible ground pounds constantly.
>>538586081Probably lamenters.
>>538586081Lamenters are popular but only in that people like the idea of them. On TT they are basically unicorns due to the checker pattern. Funnily enough despite reddit fags thinking them as wholesome, the Sallies being 'black' and 'wholesome gud boys' acts as a lightning rod and spares the Lamenters from being 'reddits' chapter. Flesh Tearers are as popular and common as say, crimson fists. I.E you might find one guy in a 50km radius of your LGS that actually runs a 2k point army or more of them...maybe...ever.>TL;DR;Eldar tier.
>>538570492>i unironically find groundpound to be heavily overrated, i use dodgeQyou can do both with this set up. its really good with balanced. but i find when i use block i never dodge with q since i want the juicy block stacks
>>538575303>>538575423>>538576220i am glad to see fellow lore purists here
>>538586081Lamenters, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be both. Raptors and Carcharodons are getting packs, and the Carcharodons are absolutely descended from the exiled Raven Guard.
>>538586081Blood ravens
>>538586830salamanders are still holier-then-thou pyromaniacs when given the opportunity; the plebs should really read the "heckin wholesome" 3rd company captain adrax antagone background
>>538586081I would say Lamenters. They're extremely popular with normalfags because they're normally closest thing the setting has a true "good guys" while also being able to make the Flesh Tearers say "fuck bro calm down" when they really commit to a fight. Combine those traits with their supernaturally bad luck and they're eternal underdogs. Everyone loves an underdog.
>>538586081flesh tearers by number; lamenters by internet clout
I didn't think the ability recharge on kills modifier would be that bad but when you factor in your teammates and how little charge you get for killing enemies yeah that modifier sucks.
>>538587112You kid, but I do wonder if Blood Raven was originally a Blood Angels successor chapter, but GW turned it down? The two don't have much in common.
>>538587762only thing they have in common is "blood" in the chapter name and psykers; that's itthe blood angels would get their hands very; very dirty if they could get the blood raven ration of red thirst/black rage (which is never ever/0/jack shit)
>>538586120Just don't lose armour aka don't get hitExpect a Neurothrope spawn in the brain room or soon afterYou need a Bulwark with armour regen, preferably not a shield bash turbonigger and one with multiple AoE since there's a fuckton of Minoris in the mapTactical is a must so none of ya'll need to scrounge for Melta bombs and auspex for Extremis and Terminus spawnLast guy can be anyone but Assault, the -75% health ensures that nigga will die more than usualThere aren't a lot of Extremis in the map to warrant a Vanguard but the grappling hook can cuck Majoris summoners and getting clutch Extremis HP can be usefulSniper is viable except for the Bolt Sniper rifle where it has shit ammo economy against Minoris, you might want the Las Fusil, either carbine or the Stalker bolterHeavy can use whatever except the Heavy Plasma since it takes too long to fire, Multimelta and Pyrecannon shines here
>>538588284Shieldrush is your best friend on that mission though. Blocks ranged nidders and cranks out a million damage while taking none in return.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fZQG3lc7AMshow do you build a powerfist to be this good?
>>538588284>>Heavy can use whatever except the Heavy Plasma since it takes too long to fire, Multimelta and Pyrecannon shines hereHeavy is actually useful because the 100% health on a revive keeps you up. Save your medkits for when you go down, then pop it and heal the mortal wound.
>>538588490Tides of battle and overcharge or whatever bonus to charged attacks is called for assault/bulwark
>>538587762Blood Ravens were a random throwaway chapter who appeared in a 90s Eavy Metal magazine until DOW development.Their lore happened around the Dark Crusade era but it was obvious that they're a generic non-Ultramarine chapter before then. The original campaign paints them as some Dark Angel, Raven Guard and Blood Angel chimeric hybrid but none of their drawbacks.Then in Dark Crusade they're suddenly a psyker heavy chapter with Chaos origins (later penciled in to be Thousand Sons).
>>538586120you just punch minoris in the face for execute/gun strikesit is way; WAY easier than last week the plan is to never ever go below 1 bar of armor; and if you keep to that it's manageable
>>538588546if you have a bulwark with armor regen you don't need bonds of brotherhoodthe heavy needs ammo since there's not a lot of extremis in the map and tons of little nidders to kill
>>538588546i found it a domino fall; if one goes down all the team goes down the next minute i learned to be a selfish marine and let them die to keep my sorry ass alive in true iron hand fashion
Exfiltration supplies are dogshit, you may not get an ammo crate until you encounter a lone drop pod just before the Melta section.Then you can't change or recharge guns until before the Trygon fight yet the game constantly drops a Terminus enemy in the brain room section or just after.There needs to be a guaranteed ammo crate in the chapel before the lift and another drop pod before the brain room.
>>538587112kek
>>538587762Blood Ravens are thievesBlood Angels are vampire Adonises who serve humanity (except for Angels Vermillion and Flesh Tearers, these two need to get Minotaur'd and Grey Knights'd)
Finally did it, had to go full parry armor stacking, got a good heavy who found a relic which let us clutch the boss, even with a fucking level 1 tactical sucking up all the med kits
>>538589690>even with a fucking level 1 tacticalshould have been votekicked from the beginningno one really hosts, they only dictate which server you play on
>>538587762Anon, that was a joke. Just because they have "blood" in their name doesn't mean they are blood angels successors. They are most likely TS/WB loyalists.
Does "Auxiliary Arsenal" do more damage combine with "Proven Efficiency" for Assault?
>>538588284>shit ammo economy against Minoris,you literally just have to hit two targets to get ammo back, any more and you get even more ammo back
>>538586120I actually had immediate success with a solo speedrun. Luck is still absolutely a factor, but you can make it through with no terminus spawn which makes it a breeze since the guardsmen soak up so much aggro. Use a fencing chainsword, power sword, or power axe, then switch to your big dick power fist for the boss. The trygon is easier to stunlock solo since the meltas respawn more often and it only digs one hole.
Are Assault players retarded?
My mate and I enjoy kicking people at the very end of the match if we find their performance subpar or if they tryhard.
>>538590972I dunnowhats the stat screen look like
wtf were they thinking?
>>538591420https://youtu.be/_zSxQnZ3TM8?si=K-9fP2bVudUVWO5H&t=44
>>538587189I know that, you know that. Plebbiters just see; >"Heckin wholesome good boys (Only good guys in the setting) who are also black AND THAT IS AWESOME who are family orientated despite being black, so that is why stereotypes in the real world are bullshit and they REALLY CARE for humanity just like me, a le humanist enlightened mind...."I have friends who got into the setting recently and they get all their info from reddit and bricky. Surprise, surprise, the ones that really, REALLY like Marvel and Star Wars decided Salamanders are the best and their favourite but they still do not know who Tu'Shan is.
>>53858612025% health is technically only like 25-50% reduction of your effective health if you count in the shield. There is a limit on enemy melee attack can damage the shield. However, range attack can break shield and bleed into your hp, so avoid getting sniped at all cost (luckily sniper doesn't spawn for the most part due to modifier)You'll deal with a lot of minoris and prepare for those. Don't hesitate to take a lot of small executiona and gunstrike to top off your shield even against minorisTerminus fight is the gatekeep fight as usual but unlike last week, you'll only have to face one for this mission. Terminus mob call in actually ignores the spawn modifier so they will call it group of around 5 majoris in beginning and 50% hp of the fight, and there will be extremist pair during itas well. If you can nuke the terminus at 50%, they won't call in, which is possible when you knock down a neurothrope and concentrate with your team with tact scan. You can get a melta bomb easily during the sand hole part so if you get there before terminus spawn, use your melta on the majoris spawn to take out good amount of them.
>>538591665I like Salamanders but I don't want to be seen as a faggot redditor. Who should I like instead?
>>538591665I find it hilarious that the Salamanders are described both in universe and out as having inhuman skin and eye colors that make people unfamiliar with them think they're monsters at best and chaos worshippers at worst, and the retarded masses look at that and said "oh my lucky stars, a negro!"
>>538591420Do primaris still use those? Can you use old models in current games?
So the raptor and carcharodon packs are listed as cosmetics and not champions, meaning they are armor pieces designed to be used on all classes, do you think it will come with new emblems as well?
>>538593549Why aren't they doing a blood ravens?
>>538591829Play what you want, just know there is a growing stigma with them if people are weird with you about it is all.I have been playing BT since 4th edition and have to deal with the inverse - edgy teens...
>>538591829A salamanders, blood angels or ultramarine successor chapter.
Black Templars, Space Wolves and Imperial Fists should be an autokicked option; only shitters play them.
>>538591829If you like them, play them. Reddit colonising Salamanders, as usual is not new nor their idea. Its been going on since that faggot painted his all black for some magazine 30 years ago and GW jumped on board for diversity points all the way back then.If you are worried about guilt by association then pick something that either resembles their colours and heraldry if that is what you are into or if its the whole fire thing - literally every chapter has the same equipment. They are just not retarded enough to use it as common standard issue.You can always run your guys as pyromaniacs regardless.
>>538593990>I will continue to play as Black Templars>I will continue to clear absolute and hard stratagems with ease>I will keep pushing round 30+ in hard siege and having fun doing it >I will NOT pug as I have no need>You will continue to pug because you are a faggot and no one wants to play more than 1 mission with you>You will continue to post your drivel to try to fit in>No one is going to care.lol, lmao.
>knock out some strategems with some black templar fellas>few attempts to do weekly hard strategem>win it finally>do another one>can't parry>chaulk it up to keyboard breaking>turns out it's just a hidden mission mod that tac can't parrylol okay thanks saber
>>538592732There's no primaris kits for them yet, but centurions are entirely legal and not even all that oldProbably will get a refresh sometime soon, since they're a tournament staple and GW only cares about tournament players nowadays sales wise
Uhm hello where are the codes????
>>538595297waging
Codes?
How long do you need to charge the shield rush to stagger the HT? I either missed but aiming is kind of weird but you need to charge it "just" a bit to stagger right?
>>538595297>>538596089Playing with IRL friends right now.
>>538591829The Marines Malevolent have saved far more civilians than the Salamanders ever will through their naevity.
>>538599132they're subhumans

>>538599249i mean yeah sure we are slavs, but still
>>538599840>a lore accurate teleport homernice touch
>>538599409I mean console players moreso but it all ties together
>>538586850Yeah but then you give up the primary reason people even attempt thruster dodge which is wings of flame. It's just silly that assault is the only class that has to split their ability in half.
The melee hit detection in this game breaks way too fucking often for how heavily this game relies on it.
>>538593669>redacted
Which heroic weps are worth buying
>>538602621None of them.
>>538602621The combi melta is alright. It's useable at least. Xenophase is actually pretty good but mainly because they fucked up the description. It's not increasing your rake damage by 20% it's by a whooping 50%. Combine that with it's massive cleave and bonus AoE it's not bad at all. Bolt pistol does comparable damage to the heavy bolt pistol but with way less ammo. Although it does get super accurate hip fire but who gives a shit. Has a niche for sniper letting you get triple headshots easily for his grenade perk. Knife is worthless. Chainsword is worthless. I can't really speak to the plasma but heavy plasma was already the one of the best weapons in the game and not using charged heavy shots seems like a waste.
>>538602621The special effects are all garbage and all of them have major flaws whether by mechanics or stats that make them simply inferior to an equivalent relic weapon.
So the devs clarified that bulwark's new shield rush will be the first in a series of patches for each class to give them a little something. What are your hopes for the other classes?
>>538603502release level grenade bolter for tac
Why is the fire support and veteran icon missing in the Blood Angels Chapters Pack?
>>538602312Makes sense, actually, might be in time with the DoW4 release as a PR thing.
>>538603502The shield rush is OP as fuck, I watched a guy bully the hive tyrant on absolute and stunlock the fucker in perpetuity while we hosed it with fire. Funny as fuck, literally didn't get a single hit in.
>>538603723Devs are hacks
>>538603502I mean what can you even do with the other classes? Bulwark was in this unique position where shield block was already a contextual input that allowed for an active new skill. Gamepad limitations means you can't add new inputs to the other classes, so they'd all be passive.The only thing IMO they could do to Assault is make his dodge build an inherent core mechanic in order to improve his defensive side.
>>538606907Blood Angels get screwed over as a tale as old as time.
>>538603502>>538607016I actually do think the likely answer is perks that have become iconic may end up becoming core features that are always available. Vanguard's grapnel executions should be how the class works, it's simply too good to ever take over those piddly heals. Get it down perfect and you do Assault's job better while also being unkillable.
>>538603502vanguard or assault can get something like getting more than one eligible gunstrike targets and being able to gunstrike back to back on all of those targets.
>>538495061Good to see you still alive Brother. I am Salamander #2 and I have an updated look. Keep up the good work
Who is the most Terminator focused chapter OTHER than DA and Deathwing?Blood Angels?
>>538566521It's hilarious yeah. Especially how they say >oh no he's plenty good, he can ground pound an extremis to insta-death with the right build!Even though that ability is on a 40 second cooldownMeanwhile bulwark is out there with a single perk that does comparable damage with an effective cooldown of 10 seconds just for pressing the parry buttonNot to mention the shit some classes get up to
>>538609278Iron Hands
>>538609278Minotaurs maybe. Whoever's supplying them, they get a ton of terminator armor for their first company, lot of it is rare patterns too.
>>538609645Iron within, iron without Terminator suits
>>538495061Celestial Lions reporting in
>>538609719Nigger
>>538609537Iron hands actually don't have that much terminator armor in inventory, they can't use it often in concentrated numbers, they just pepper it around regular formations through veterans.
How safe is the anticheat of this game? I stopped playing multiplayers after seeing random people getting banned in that CoD MW game a few years ago because of that faulty ass anticheat that Actshit runs
>>538608539Received. Thanks, Brother.>>538609719Received.
>>538485528Player weapons should have 2-3x more damage.A melta should onne-shot nearly every thing.enemies shouldn't dance around and politely wait, but actuallylswarm you.That would be a true 40K experience.
i think "easy" stratagem with nothing but bonus is harder because you get complete shitter queueing up hoping to get carried.,
>>538611797Why does everyone come in here after 5-6 months of not playing with these hot ass takes and think they’re gonna change the game like some kind of epic prophet with a trvth nvke
>>538611797you say this but then when this is applied, the game becomes absolute cancer, especially in open space. Maybe the model would fit for a 3rd person cover shooter, not a melee/rane hybrid action game
>>538611030Literally all the game does is end your session if it detects mods.
Just remembered that time, during the Primaris refresh and all the new 8th edition Codex stuff, GW streamlined the Raven Guard heraldry so the white arms weren't a thing and only the helmet signified veterancy, 1st company was instead signified by the simple white shoulder trim. Then they proceeded to show off models that had white arms. So now everybody does whatever for the Chapter when it comes to patterns because none of it makes sense.
>>538613186Bright white does seem a little dumb for a stealth chapter
>>538613186I believe the retard mistake was retconned into "Raven Guard do not keep consistent veterancy heraldry to confuse the enemy."Which, I suppose? The issue here is the top dog Raven Guard just don't get seen, or leave no witnesses. These guys are the SAS having sex with the Marines having sex with an F-117 Nighthawk. Not having any at all would make more sense, but then again, for as practical as they are in comparison to the other 1st foundings, they're also stooped in the hardest high gothic iconography. They're all basically hyper-violent Batman who can move with a death chilling eeriness despite weighing as much as a tank. Imagine minding your own business near a campfire with your buddies, everything seems comfy and safe, you turn away for a second, turn back, and everybody is gone. Not a grunt of pain, not a scream of panic, nothing.
>>538603502My guesses.>AssaultOnly class who can interrupt his own melee attacks with dodges. Most ideal and sensible thing they can do to bring the class' melee prowess up to Bulwark with his shield cancel.>VanguardFor some reason this was the class that had an achievement and a data vault challenge related to gun strikes. So maybe he'll be able to chain them or something? Something to improve his above everybody else's.>HeavyInnate stagger resistance. Perks that grant stagger resistance across his own tree and his weapons are changed.
>>538613536>MarinesGrunt here, we’re fucking retards You probably mean recon or MARSOC
>>538614592>MarinesCan confirmWorked with them when I was in the ADF. Absolute mongs.
>>538613186That knife is probably going to be what we're getting with the Raven Guard Champion, or something very similar. We all know it's gonna be Sniper. So there'll probably be a fancy cloak made up of raven feathers for maximum fashion.
I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN FROM THIS DAY FORTH, IT WAS ME, NOT ANY OF YOU FUCKS THAT WAS PLAYING HEAVY AS A PSEUDO IRON HANDS TECHMARINE FROM DAY ONE!WHEN TECHMARINE IS RELEASED I BETTER NOT SEE ANY OF YOU FUCKING POSERS PRETENDING TO BE A SON OF MEDUSA.THAT IS ALL.
>>538613536Universally military forces are beholden to rituals and iconography. It takes an extremely select special group to be able to give that shit up for any reason, even if its objectively more useful. You can bet if any branch gets a barracks car bombed in mogadishu tomorrow their generals are going to force their way into any upcoming mission planning to muscle their troops on board to "restore the honor and pride" or some shit like that. Even grunts to a lesser extent still extol legends and traditions.
>>538614907I bought this game at launch and the first thing I did with my tactical was make an iron hands and sons of medusa scheme.
Can someone tell me what is this Absolute+ thing on hard stratagems? Just did like 3 attempts of Vox Liberatis and it has NO bad modifiers and everything takes so much more ammo, the amount of wave spawns is insane. I know this was a regular Absolute change but every map seems to have x2 bosses with a wave of trash and 2-3 extremis at the same time, regardless of segment of map which was not the case before.
>>538615335x2 bosses and 2-3 extremis is just a regular day on absolute. You did play aboslute before right?
>bored because i finished all hard stratagem already >queue into as again to help people with hard weekly> 3 separate bulwark are running contested health team perk instead of shield regen and set their team up for failure from selection screen.Damn, people are so shitty and braindead
>>538615335>but every map seems to have x2 bosses with a wave of trash and 2-3 extremis at the same timeThat's how regular absolute works, the plus is only that they have more HP scaling.If you can't beat absolute then you absolutely shouldn't be touching hard stratagems if they aren't just pure buffs.
>>538612151Nta but it'd work fine if the game was modified properly. If you were able to actually mow down a horde of gaunts with bolters instead of just a few at a time, the swarming would be mitigated. Same thing for melee, just give everything more cleave. Armor should also actually act as armor instead of you dying in 2 hits
>>538616682Oh boy, is it time for this rerun again already
>>538615405>>538615859I have like 300 hours on the game, most of which was absolute. All my classes are maxxed, all my weapons are maxxed. I am not a shitter. I didn't play much after the bosses changed. My teammates seem to just explode typically with boss + 3 extremis and a lot of majoris, but until then they're doing just fine.
>>538615565oh, and i ran into a party of contested health bulwark AND contested health tact. Do people even understand that a 25% health modifier would make your contest health perk useless?
>>538616740It's not my fault vatniks don't know how to balance a game
>>538616780people playing stratagem are really bad right now. Most hard stratagem players atm can't even clear absolute but they try to jump in for the reward
>>538613331a stealth chapter in multiple tons of ceramite is fucking retarded to begin with
