First for Elf love and appreciation.
Thoughts on my NEW boss killa weapon?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbYofaFCvzMwhy do they release event trailers way after the event has started?
>>540513017It's alright against bosses, but doesn't really kill them on its own. I suggest you still bring an infernus lasgun/pistol or kraks. Probably kraks since this isn't amazing against crushers, but maybe you're rending/brittleness pilled.
>>540513060>why do they release event trailers way after the event has started?Because they're actually that mismanaged and incompetent. Fatshark are R E T A R D E D as FUCK.
when do we get out plasma pistol that's already in the game?
>>540513017Veteran has easy access to his bleed talent now, Bloodletter is less necessary for monsters. Still useful for bleed tapping bulwark/reapers though. Shred optionally for more direct damage.
Where do we get out mods now that nexus is unusable?
>>540513606How is nexus unusable?
>>540513345fatshark promised it would come this december!
Combination guns when?
plasma gunner spam made this game unplayable. See you in another year.
>>540519273This made me think of a silly idea for a DLC class that fagshart is too fucking incompetent to code so it'll never, ever happen>capstone that automatically dual wields any one-handed weapons>left sub-node allows dual wielding melee + ranged>right sub-node allows dual wielding the same weapon on each slot, with a slight damage penalty to balance shit like dual bolt pistolUnfortunately this would require putting in actual work, so it's never happening. Instead we'll get another amalgamation of reused mechanics that has +1 unique feature, is broken on release (immediately before vacation) and takes 4-5 hotfixes to get into a functional state.
>>540513060Look at the recent hotfix list. No way in hell FatShark is that responsive or productive. They were gonna delay the patch until Barktidegate, I bet. If so, we got some shitty internal build.
>>540519571Is it really THAT bad? I mean I always thought it sounded like a bad idea but I’ll probably just not boot it up if I’m going to be blasted in the face from a mile away now.
>>540520418The event spawns a lot of them, and all are conditions that make it hard to see, and they're basically heavily armored snipers without a red beam that are also heavily resistant to suppression. Make of that what you will.I think they're fine in regular aurics, and I don't struggle in low vision modifiers, but when mortis spawns 12 of them in a perfect surround pattern you can't take cover from, or havoc spawns a clown car of them that charges their shots before they round a corner to instagib you without any time to react, it gets very retarded.
>>540520418imagine packs of tougher, armored, faster firing, no laser sight, silent, snipers, in low visibility, thats the event, its just packs of plasma and vent purge or lights out, also captains spawning too, theres usually like 4 per mission
>Female Cadian with Shout joins
>>540521621
>So many "pros" struggling because can't cheese with dueling sword anymore and never lever learned to dodge a shot lol
>>540519571Let me guess, you gameplay was afk with Ogryn or Arbiter in the mission until now right?
>>540522047>>So many "pros" struggling because can't cheese with dueling sword anymoreThe DS nerf means nothing because the devs reworked the skilltrees which buffed all the last 3 classes a lot.Also the parry mechanic they gave to the DS is better than the riposte because now you have an extremely strong sword that punches through carapace and which also makes you fucking unkillable as long as you time the parry correctly.People who are struggling with the new dueling sword are just bad at the game.
Does anyone know good low spec games? I wanna play some coop games with my brother that lives abroad but he only has a laptop and is far from good, we are talking shit like castle crasher of low specs.
>>540522795drg should be fine
CURVED. SWORDS.

>>540522795Older games that might work if you dial them down a notch;Orcs Must Die 2TrineGauntletThere are also some config guides to convert the vermintide games to potato mode, but it that might still be too heavy.
Does Arbites start at 30? Only thing holding me back from buying it is having to grind out levels again.
why dont the plasma gunners just function like the captains? captain plasma shots are very audible, have a bright muzzle flash and need a good amount of charge up time. plasma gunners just go pshzoom pshzoom pshzoom. they shoot way too fast

>>540521621LEDS GET TO DA KILLINFER CREED
>>540527019Been playing psyker since this patch a lot, he's really fun.I like fighting with the electro staff and greatsword. It's just fun.Though I do wish they would buff the electro staff a bit since you constantly need to be fishing for crits with it to do any sort of damage. Like buff the range of the staff and buff damage so that you can reliably kill specials like trappers and flamers as well as medium elites like shotgunners and dreg ragers with it.Also another good buff would be to make the "chain lightning" on the staff stronger, like there's the main target you zap but sometimes the it chains into another enemy but the damage on that is very weak. I'd buff it so that after the initial enemy is zapped, the lightning jumps 3 enemies instead of just 1 enemy. And I'd buff the chain lightning's damage as well.
>>540525609Starting Arbites weapons are already very good so you're already strong if you have enough milkbux or enough money to just max out your masteries to get decent gear
>>540525609Early levels are easy so just speed run them. There's barely any enemies.Once you get to heresy and damnation you can level up fast, also slap experiment bonus on your curios as soon as you get them. Also run quickplay as well since it rewards you with 20% more experience.
>>540521621Her shout is just so lame compared to male CTNot sure if the sound guy fucked her or if she actually half assed those linesCould also be too strenuous a voice to keep up while shouting, which in that case I blame whoever casted her
>>540525609Once you have a basic tree that looks something like this (I assume you want the dog, the class basically plays itself. The horizontal spread shotgun is incredible, remember to use your special, and don't feel bad about just spamming it. Worst case scenario, it supercharges small ammo pickups. Best case scenario, you cripple a screen of ranged enemies or stop a crusher from mulching your resident retard.I'd advise dropping points from the top and rushing down to the right keystone with its toughness regen, if you want an even easier time. Most of the damage is in the bottom of the tree, so your melee will feel a little weak until you get the good nodes, but the shotgun is borderline broken so just get used to playing ranged until you're in the 20s.
Do we have any idea of if or when the 2014, aborted mission, bug might be patched in Darktide or how to possibly reduce the chance of it occurring? Had it happen at the end of a few missions and it's getting me a bit tilted
>>540531923>how to possibly reduce the chance of it occurring?I personally don't get the error so I can't directly help. The best thing I can find is https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/84743 where the OP links to possible troubleshooting. Some of those things might be obvious and dumb, others might be more involved. I don't know whether any of this can help you, and I have my doubts because it's likely on fatshark's end, but I hope you can resolve it.
>>540531923pretty sure it existed since launch and it will remain foreverthat counts as a loss in Havoc ranks btw
>>540531923Genuinely no idea. It feels entirely random.Sometimes I get the error while trying to get into a mission and the mission board says 2014. But some other times the mission board gives error 9999 too.Sometimes I get disconnected in a match and its shows 2014 error. But some other times I disconnect but there is no error message and I just reconnect, but while I'm loading inside the valkyrie the game gives me the 2014 error but nothing happens.And then finally sometimes I even get the error when I'm just sitting character select afk for a bit and it just crashes the game.
>>540522795L4D2, DRG
>>540532367>>540532368>>540532810Appreciate the help. I've never had it happen this often so I've been doing a little bit of digging on my own and found similar responses.
>>540531923are you on console? Never had this happen on PC if it's the actual mission being aborted maybe it's also a server issue? Are you in a weird region like oce?
>>540533335sad to say but no, DRG unfortunately is not low spec friendlytried it couple of years on old crappy laptop(I was abroad for 6 months) with I3 and even on low resolution it was choppy, particle effects and geometry destruction stuff are taxing
>>540527842The female doesn’t say that does she?>>540531923>>540533448It’ll probably be a thing forever. It’s an issue across all platforms too so it’s something on FS’s end that they’re fucking up.
>>540522795Alien Swarm is free and Source engine so it should run on potatoes.Modded Minecraft might work, but I've never been autistic enough to mod it beyond some QoL enhancements like minimap and such.Terraria might run okay on small resolutions.Titan Quest has pretty good co-op, though that's more of a Diablo-2-like hack and slash. On which subject, Diablo 2 will definitely run. If you like the genre but neither of those games, try Torchlight 2.I think the older Serious Sam games had multiplayer. Pretty good dumb fun.
Playing after a 6 month break, anything I should know? Either going with shield ogryn or DS vet. Also I see havoc fart sniffing hasn't changed and can't get in any lobby 30+.

>>540536652plasma gunners rule the game now, the players are under their IRON FIST so prepare to KNEEL
>>540519571I dont mind them that much, groups of them can be hard to deal with though. Reminds me of old shotgunners where you dealt with them via positioning, and not via being an unkillable murderer that just wipes 20 of them in a split second. Welcome to the powercreep leaving, try acquiring skill
Anyone here play Outlast Trials?
>>540538619Yes. Why
>>540537085And how exactly does the plasma gunner make any difference to the vet with a DS compared to a normal gunner? Please, enlighten my feeble brain
>>540539208ignores gold toughness
>>540539314Then simply have more basic toughness, like a vet does.

>>540539208They're heavily armored snipers that you can't see, shoot you through walls, and apparently precharge their (really quiet windup that's basically inaudible) shot so pray that no more than 2 spawn at a time otherwise they instagib you.Btw because they're heavily armored, you can't suppress them for shit unless your gun is a suppression BEAST. Also they have carapace heads. Enjoy.They're fine in normal aurics, including the event, even if all the modifiers there are low vis. It's mortis and havoc where they become oppressive at best, and downright retarded bullshit at worst. In mortis, build for grenade shield spam. In havoc, build either for suppression or bring smokes. Bubble works okay, but not for very long.

Uh oh.. another vet who didn't take the survivalist aura...
>>540547831How the fuck do you even make that conscious decision with the new tree?

Fill me in on Arbites. Is it good? How do people usually play it? How did it land?I'm currently leveling it and kinda turned off by how bad the weapon variety is.Do people just run Lone Wolf + Castigate/BreaktheLine + Forceful and play like melee Ogryn? Is the dog just a gimmick?
>>540574473use our party finderPLEASE
Is the power sword abysmal dogshit now since it lost the crusher two-tap combo? Or is there some way to retain the combo now with the increased melee damage the veteran got?
>>540577059What a retarded questionJust 3 tap them instead
>>540576647the dog is good for solo play because it can knock off dogs and take out silent trappers in a crowd but yeah at high havocs i only see discount ogryns
>>540576647>Fill me in on Arbites. Is it good? yes>How do people usually play it?Unga Bunga(Forceful). shock mines and loner for havocs, aurics you will see doggos lot more>kinda turned off by how bad the weapon variety is.you already have all that you need, your base shotgun is stupidly good and has good ammo economy if you bother to load special rounds and resupply with small packsmelee has good options too, your base shock maul can reduce armor on enemies with blessing, shield+maul is decent all rounder weapon>Do people just run Lone Wolf + Castigate/BreaktheLine + Forceful and play like melee Ogryn?and why not, your talents push you towards aggressive in your face playstyle with meleeexecution order is great as well, getting constant marks on specials saves lives (30% extra damage on monstrosities doesn't hurt either)>Is the dog just a gimmick?not at all, really useful when you need to pick off snipers/specials or see teammate getting railed but you're busy with enemiesterminus warrant keystone is unfortunately on the shitty side of things
>>540576647it's ogryn but smoland you don't have bleed on meleeand you don't have infinite cleave explosive rangedbut you have access to all human-sized weapons except lasguns, which means you can use bolter and bolt pistoland you have stupid high hp+toughness pool, insane toughness regeneration (even more than ogryn, probably still more than new psyker), cheat nodes that gate damage, somehow more stagger than ogryndog used to do stupid bleed damage, now it only deals double bleed damage (which is still not exactly weak but it's a pain in the ass to use so nobody uses it anymore)Dog is not a gimmick, it's can remove any human-sized enemy, like brainburst but instant activation. Plus if you aren't dumb enough to spec into dog keystone modifiers, it will guard you from rear hits and instantly free from mutant grabs.>Do people just run Lone Wolf + Castigate/BreaktheLine + Forceful and play like melee Ogryn?More or less, yeah. You take bolt pistol for gunners/snipers/shooters. Or you can take bolter to kill monstrosities fast.I haven't played arbites in a long time and don't know if they fixed Execution Order (like half the tree wasn't even working when swedes went on vacation). According to patchnotes it was fixed, but I wouldn't trust swedes so easily.Anyway, if Execution Order works, it's a better keystone in many situations. Generally, I'd say to go with EO for castigator's stance, and Forceful for BTL. Though any combination of abilities and keystones should work, except for the middle keystone, which is garbage.BTL is better for melee and stagger, and CS is better for ranged, but isn't bad for melee either, you just go sicko mode and chop anything with no regard to incoming damage. Plus shield+mace has a stupid good special that shocks entire packs, and has lower cd than BTL, so if you want, you can have both castigator's stance and tons of stagger. But personally I prefer rashad with castigator's stance.(1/2)
>>540577567What a retarded responseYou can't do that since their HP pool was nearly doubled
>>540576647Arbites has ton of damage in the tree so don't get distracted by mediocre weapons selection, they are good with all the buffs. It makes shock maul good, and rashad overpowered. You stunlock crushers with rashad and down them in 2-3 hits, while oneshotting packs of chaff with light attacks with brutal momentum. I see little reason to take anything other than rashad or shield+mace combo, but arbites mace also has very high base damage, it just doesn't have brutal momentum.And if you build a monstrosity killer, you want Execution Order for crits and monstrosity damage. And if you take EO, you want a dog.Lone wolf is taken for blitz regen, not for the buffs. Shock mine is stupid good, so it's a no-brainer. You can take Shock mine + BTL + forceful + Lone Wolf + shield, take it to havoc 40 and just disable everything. You can deal no damage and still be viable (and you will still deal damage on top of it because arbites is stupid strong).
>>540577059is there anything better than power sword on veteran?it can't be dogshit when everything else is worse
>>540578627I literally just did it in the psykhaniun, you dumb fuck
>zealot still has no rendingArbites is still the crusher (weapon) class
Remember when for the first hour after the update came out people actually thought that executioner's stance was going to become usable? Attempting to use it is pure suffering because my teammates die instantly to plasma spam without piss toughness and you have no means of defending yourself when you get swarmed by ragers or armor blobs.
>>540579762Try shooting the plasma gunners
>>540577623>>540577863>>540578515>>540578880Thanks for the responses shopclickers. I'll just end up playing him as an ungabunga tank like everyone else, because I prefer gun Ogryn anyway.Now my only concern is which voice to use. I'm swapping off of Male Fatalist because he sounds exactly like the zealot's Male Agitator and it's bugging me
Fatshark continues to make the game better and better for absolutely free, what a great company.
>>540580440if you play as female ArbyFatalist is frog from BG3Maul is Kerillian from Ratclicker I prefer male Maul, clear voice when something dies and his delivery of>I AM THE LEXis on point

>>540581495Lol.......
Maul Arbitrator is my wife. We stay up late memorizing the Lex Imperialis together every night. We're on book 80, chapter 67, verse 7 already. It's really cute when she falls asleep while we're studying and while she's dreaming she says "zzzz...I am the Lex...zzz...fear me Lexbreakers...zzz.....Nuncio Aquilla deployed...zzz..."She enjoys long walks by the plasma drives while we hold hands, and her favorite food is grox burgers with lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun.I'm saving up my Melk bucks to buy her an item rating 500 golden rarity power maul for our anniversary.
I hate Rolling Steel and I hate every single retard who plays it.Especially the shitters who play arbites, why the fuck do you hang behind to smack poxwalkers and then somehow fucking die with the most easily OP class in the game?
>take the exe stance talent that lets allies see marked enemies>teammates are still clueless and get suprised by specials and plasma gunners despite having literal wallhacks
>teammate activates exe stance>i let him have the easy specials so he can keep it up>he doesn't shoot them
>>540576647he's a hard little fellathe dog is quite good but optionalall 3 abilities are goodall 3 grenades are goodvery noob friendly class because he's so tanky, and the dog acts as a guardian, offloading some of the work you have to dosomewhat low weapon variety, but the weapons you have access to are some of the best in the game
>>540587341>>540588153>when the euros don't communicatemics are for extroverts anyway
I just don't want spend money on mic againcheap ones suck unless you yell at them they don't pick shit, normal ones either have a really shitty mount or condenser shit requires extra power supply which means more fucking cables
>>540576647>Is it good?Strongest class by far in regular aurics/maelstroms. Has giga damage melee builds in havoc (EO tac axe), control support with LW shock mines, and also more control support with dog, shield and stun shotgun. You can think of dog as fire and forget brain burst, which can be extremely useful in havoc. Between flashbang and zappy shotgun, the class is also uniquely good at shutting down plasma gunners without relying on bubble. Smokes are still better.>How do people usually play it?Like complete retards because it's the OP class that carries malicelets into auric without dying too much to stop having fun.>How did it land?Was broken on release, broke further with every hotfix, remained broken for a month while fatshark went on vacation, and was only fixed way later. Mixed reception because it's a pay to win retard crutch class in the mortal difficulties. Useful but somewhat low priority in havoc.>I'm currently leveling it and kinda turned off by how bad the weapon variety is.Your melee weapons will start feeling better once you hit max level, because all the damage is in the bottom of the tree. Early on, shotgun carries.>buildStance is for retards, speaker is for havoc, BTL is the default pickEO is for dog, speaker CDR, wallhack and tacaxe builds, TW is for penance farming and then putting in the trash, Forceful is for comfort, shotgun cleave, and carrying pubbie objectives because it makes you stun immune.Picrel is how the bottom of your tree must look at a bare minimum, as all of these nodes are super efficient. Melee will feel good once you have these.>like melee Ogryn?It's how many people play it, but that's not all the class is.>Is the dog just a gimmick?No. The dog outperforms below average players, all on its own. It is very useful. Dog aura isn't great, Canine Morale is good. With shotgun, just take the reload aura, pathing through Imposing Force.
>>540590232I feel like I should add that with push cleave and Forceful's extra cleave, the shotgun is extremely overpowered in aurics. It cleaves through entire hallways, with each pellet dealing roughly boltgun amounts of damage, and the horizontal spread makes it easy to line up headshots. The special shells also fully refill on any ammo pickup, letting you stretch small ammo boxes to twice their value if you just spam the special like it's extra ammo. I would advise keeping a couple shells as backup just in case you do want the stun.I suggest you use it and learn to appreciate it, because I think it's arbitrator's best ranged weapon, with bolt pistol and rending shotgun coming close second, followed by combat shotgun and bolter (though these are more for havoc).Try unyielding, flak, scattershot, full bore. I'd recommend dumping stability, NOT mobility, because many melee weapons have terrible sprint efficiency and/or low speed, so you might end up swapping to your shotgun to run anyway, and stability is a pointless stat on a shotgun anyway. If you want to zoom, combat shotgun and bolt pistol are obviously better.
well damn, I played Bannerlord instead of doing Havocs with dogshit modifiers againain't that a shame
>>540576647you run dog just for the toughness buffs and regen it provides
>>540594994Dog bleed can contribute up to 100k damage in a dense enough run for just 1-2 points in the tree, without any effort. It also does substantial boss damage, even more so with Execution Order. It lets you reliably deal with snipers without needing your gun to do that. It lets you use the bolter while still having a reasonably fast, reactive way of dealing with disablers, instead of having to spend 2 business days swapping to your gun (though frags are still slightly better at that). There's a number of reasons why dog is good.Most people just completely ignore the dog talents, and then it's no fucking wonder the dog is bad.

>>540526250>>540528457>>540529514>>540530250Alright anons, I bit the bullet after your posts and this was as far as I got yesterday. I had to take a break from it, because I was literally falling asleep at the wheel, playing lower difficulty.
>>540600930there are people hardstuck at those difficultiesimagine
>>540600930Reminder to put +exp on all of your curios.Also it used to be that if you install Psych Ward, you can select a higher level character, open the mission browser, close it, select your lower level character, open the mission browser, and play aurics as a level 10 or something. It's really hard to solo carry with no skill tree tho, so I wouldn't advise anything higher than damnation.
>>540601027I can imagine it, hard to complete missions when you take naps halfway through.>>540601095Huh, I'll look into it. The one thing I will say for lower level difficulty, I am getting to play different levels I haven't played before. Quit right before twins came out, so it's nice seeing different maps that I never seem to get in Auric.
>>540525609Grinding is very fast, especially with xp curiosAnd it starts feeling good around level 20, just rush keystone, and don't waste points on ability modifier. Also use arbites maul bdfore you get to aurics, because it has high base damage, and damage in the tree is pretty late.
>>540601095Lone wolf + shock mine + shick shield and you're good for maelstromsNot sure what will happen to difficulty unlocks though, since you're required to complete lower difficulty missions to progress. Will aurics count?When I was leveling, unlocking auric took a while, I was 30 by the time damnation was halfway done, and I didn't even quickplay (was doing the "story").
>>540600930the low-difficulty grind is boring. I feel bad you have to experience it
>>540602227>Not sure what will happen to difficulty unlocks though, since you're required to complete lower difficulty missions to progress. Will aurics count?I'm not sure. I recently leveled another arbitrator and played a couple damnation missions for exp, I SUSPECT the progress bar went up, but I discovered the bug by mistake so I didn't actually bother to check beforehand.
>>540599607That’s pretty funny actually. Makes sense too. I forgot how fun the dialogue can be.
>>540596752i can't even link my twitch account because their website is fucking down since announcement
>>540599372It's funny how even the cheapest versions of moebian armor are way better than MUH CADIA™ by the mere fact of that get your own soldiers killed on purpose would be fucking retarded.
Ogryn needs new ranged weapons badly.I love my mk2 ripper but it gets boring and rest of the guns I've already used and I find them to not have that feel I want.
Plasma gunners are fine but I do think they’re threatening enough to merit spawn audio in non event situations
>>540609176Now try playing EFL II havocs or mortis trials and say that again lol
The Scab HP buff feels like it really hurt autoguns since now they take almost a quarter of a mag just to kill one shooter unless your accuracy is aimbot tier

>Game has been out for three years>Zealot still has the bug where C2 on every single weapon eats weapon swap inputswhat is wrong with sweden
Why the fuck did they buff the zealot so much and nerf Ogryn? The muscle bound ogryn deals less melee damage than the scrawny zealot.
>>540625449zealot lost quite a bit of CDR, and it's supposed to be the high melee damage class. Ogryn is still more brawly imo
>even kf3 has prettier faces than darktidegrim + grave
if only this game were actually popular so some autist stalker-detective could out the faggot at fatshark/games workshop that insists on ugly faces
>>540625449>Why the fuck did they buff the zealot so muchThe CDR nerf was absolutely humongous and overall a loss for zealot, in spite of other buffs. Also from what I've played, no amount of damage can make up for the currently absolutely cancerous modifiers in high havoc, or the recently inflated HP numbers of enemies. Even knives lost loads of value with plasma gunners being the highest value targets while having mauler stats.Stealth's bug fix just about cut its baseline effectiveness in half, CDR nerfs feel like they basically killed what made the ability good.I've had the most success with a pure stun/support build, which is very strong, but still weaker than what zealot could do before. I've yet to figure out how to make a damage focused zealot work in h40, but with how much harder h40 is in general, and a lot of fotm and bad players having come back, experimenting is difficult when I already have to try twice as hard as before to win.I've also asked a handful of other players in h40 and they feel similarly about zealot.Also ogryn nerfs are kind of inconsequential because they didn't touch the actually egregious bits (rumbler mostly).

>>540626601yeah i dont care about your lore autism if seeing a pretty face pulls you out of the game make sure you rid your house of mirrors

Maybe get your dick back in your pants.
>>540626671>Yeah I don't care about your lorelet autism
>>540626404 cdr nerfs aside. You can literally kill everything by light attacking with a tac axe now.I did 1 million damage about 20% into the mission. Its insane.
everything in the game is less fun than melee tacaxe vet
>>540625449They are always incredibly liberal with nerfing Ogryn, I assume it's just due to it steam rolling low difficulties.I don't even think most people know Crunch got gutted yet with a -25% dmg nerf, further reinforcing the m1 club spam meta.
>>540611643I've been getting denied on everyclass running meta builds lol I have true survivor title and I was true 40 before the reset too this shit is pure aids
>Many people feeling entitled by havoc and supporting this system>Also the same people now crying because the same system turned against them and can't play anymore
>>540630584Before I could at least carry the shitters with chorus spam or ogryn. The nerfs make it harder to solo carry. Now unless you get a good team you will constantly lose missions.
is it only me or does Sefoni not talk anymore in the training area?
>>540630584>I've been getting denied on everyclass running meta builds>meta buildsYes, the meta has changed, and you probably haven't caught on.

Not that they're necessary, and neither is bubble (though it's nice and comfy).
>>540626601Learn English Juanita.
I hate saying good things about Fatshit but Auric is actually pretty fun rn. I think they added some more hordes or something, scabs are tough enough to actually be a threat in big groups and plasma gunners are sort of okay if they only spawn in small amounts.The special clown car is actually fucking stupid though, like there are ALWAYS half a dozen mutants, dogs and trappers on the map at all times and it does get pretty exhausting.If they add a few more boss spawns so it's really just 'Havoc at home' I won't mind, except the playerbase is REALLY struggling to win these games atm lol.

>>540645793Because missing a particular breakpoint drove them insane
>>540644253wdym?
>>540644995You should really just get automatically permabanned from the game the instant you select any aura other than survivalist. It would tremendously improve the playerbase.
>>540647243Vets should just get survivalist aura baked into their kit and replace the aura choice with like +10% ammo collected from boxes while in coherency or something
>>540626404CDR as a whole getting nerfed is good for the game.Because spamming abilities is genuinely the strongest thing you can do in this game. Like for example take ogryn's charge which basically acts like an infinite cleave shredder frag grenade that effects all enemies in a line. More you can spam it, more bleed you apply, but also at the same time more you crowd control the enemy by forcing them to sit on the floor being helpless.
>>540647604>CDR as a whole getting nerfed is good for the game.Oh I agree, Darktide got a lot more interesting without CDR spam fueling infinite gold toughness, and a couple specific builds that could just do so on their own.It still hit zealot in a bad way, and they also completely invalidated an entire build with the CDR passive rework.I can't complain too much though, since I immediately found a new build I got to h40 with. Really tough grind, it's a lot harder now. Going to try a more damage focused build with tac axe next as per >>540628238 's suggestion. Played a couple games in auric and it does seem very promising. Even the heavy/light diagonal cleave combo does unexpectedly well against hordes. Also the special is giving me back the greatly missed mutant interrupt that they ripped away from the dueling sword.On which subject, thoughts on picrel for havoc?Might nab a second one with infested for the rotten armor modifier.
Hello friends, just wanted to stop in and ask if they made any of the psyker staves that aren't the flamethrower staff good yet?
>>540648347Ground pound has always been pretty good, it just directly competes with flame staff which is better in most ways.Shock staff is a good armor remover for more melee focused builds, and the rework made psyker deceptively tanky so those are pretty good now. Still prefer bubble over gays, because plasma gunners will kill your retards in aurics. It's just very limited in its amount of targets hit, so it doesn't make for a weapon you can use all the time. Also likely want a big fuckoff cleave melee to delete chaff with, but greatswords are a thing now so that's indeed a thing.
