First.
My Praetorian CAN'T Be This Cute!
GIVE ME TECHMARINE YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
>>5432718142 more weeks, Scout-kun. Trust the Emperor.
>>543272475You mean three months.
I just don't bother with hard dailies
>>543265439>incompetence and overall lazinessIt's intentional drip-feeding. They're farming you. Games as a service.
>>543272748It's insane how much better this helmet looks over every other option.
>>543272635Same, max difficulty just makes me tryhard to the point of it not being fun. Ruthless is the sweat spot for when it's fun, but not braindead. Plus feel like there is no incentive to play absolute apart from personal challenge.
>>543270456//// INCOMING TRANSMISSION ////>Imperial Administratum has granted access to records of all Astartes operating in Decidious System, CODENAME: ADEPTUS RETARDES>Dude Wall status: ACTIVE. >All Astartes present in Decidious System accounted for.>All First Founding Chapters accounted for.>All Astartes are to upload a FULL SCREENSHOT of their Dude and post their CHAPTER.Hail Brothers! The Dude Wall has been updated, so, as per usual, I would like to share with you the information about the latest changes:- (Almost) All submissions of new and updated Dudes alike have been added to both versions of the Wall, the one Dude that escaped my attention was updated Raptor #2 - he will be introduced in the next version (apologies for committing him);- Raven Guard frames have been updated - minor fixes to the textures have been made;- Image version:-- All Dudes have been downsized by 15% across the board to accommodate (and future-proof) ever growing numbers of /YourDudes/. (this does not impact the website in any way)The last change had to be done as the number of Dudes would've made it very taxing to fit while keeping the same size of each image. However, as I tested, the change won't have any negative impact on high quality version and even the standard version retains majority of its previous quality when it comes to viewing each Dude. Thank you for all your submissions, Brothers. As always should you have more /YourDudes/ to post, then please do so. It doesn't matter how blinged out (or modded) /YourDude/ is, everyone is welcome on the Wall.Enjoy!Signing off,Wall Anon=IMPORTANT=>**Ultra high quality version of the Dude Wall is available on the website**>**For more comprehensive info on submissions please refer to: https://dudewall.github.io/dude-wall/ **Glory to the Imperium!//// END TRANSMISSION ////
>>543273032Based
>>543273032FYI, the following Dudes: Covenant of Fire #2, Carcharodons #10 are missing from this low res version, but they are in the high quality image. Apologies for the mismatch.>>543273383Thank you, Brother.
>>543273000I feel the same.
>>543272748saber, please... all i need is this helmet and an aquilla breastplate
>>543275383>and an aquilla breastplateTwitch drop :^)
>>543272635I don't bother with dailies at all, there's no reason to do them.
>>543275495oh, it will be available in the techpriest shop before you can say antidisestablishmentarianism
>>543270456You missed those small skulls in the back.
>>543272748>Games as a service.I agree, you're not exactly wrong. Dick moves such as not releasing 2-3 variants of a single piece do look like the former lead me think it is treated as such. BUT Saber themselves seem to have trouble deciding whether this is GaaS or a co-op with periodic updates. Still, this >>543267859 should be the gold standard for them. They can't ignore it even if they wanted since it's got close to 3 milion points upvotes on their forums, which is really a lot.
Can't wait for Bot Customization. Gonna go ham in photo mode.Also, post your donut steel Marines/chapters
>>543278678
>"you take the relic, anon"and thus ends my last absolute attempt tonight
>>543278892>when you're done with your instagram bullshit follow me, PC_NAME, we have xenos to kill
why does the absolute pauldron look like absolute shit
honestly absolute is still easier than launch ruthless
>>543277429nta, but I also think it's criminal we only got 'neutral' leg guards after a year from launch. What did we get? Helmets, skulltits chests and I think a shoulder pad. This is not drip feed, that's just bullshit. If it was dripfeeding then we'd get one or two leg pieces as well in the last year. That forum idea looks very good btw, why nobody considered this when they were making this game is beyond me.
To be honest not once have I thought that anything new in the Astartes mod was even close to being on par with the official assets, it all feels cheap and low quality.But I gotta admit my boy Sidonus coming back is pretty cool
>>543284904Customization in it is niceBut game is way too easy, I hate balance on it. It's just a really worthless "power fantasy" where everything dies the second you look at it. It's like a cheat modNew classes are whatever and existing classes lost all identity
>>543284904>SidonusFacial hair is too dark. I guess someone looked at a screenshot and tried to replicate the color it had under his chin, when that's naturally in shadow.
>>543285920No. It's just the lighting engine in the game. Too strong self-shadowing basically.
>>543285267So you prefer the spongy enemies of vanilla?
I have not cleared a single Absolute chaos mission since chaos spawn were introduced
>>543292697absolute solo o with other 2 players?
>>543291878Yes. Unironically. This mod made me realize that desponging them would be a terrible idea. It feels like shit when everything dies so easily. Same reason why darktide is boring, power creep got out of hand and game is utterly braindead. And on top of that, DT doesn't even have Stormvermin/Tyranid Warrior equivalent so melee combat is just literally spamming left click.
>>543277081Here ya go lad, just for you,
>>543294778we need to go deeper
>>543294031It's balanced by the fact that theres more enemies. I like it way more than vanilla. All that health is the reason why bolters suck so much penis.
>>543295379you missed a spot or two brother.
>>543296131
>doing weekly hard>tac with ranged damage gives more contested health runs off within the first 30 seconds and dies after triggering reinforcements
>>543296838And right after that I got a level 1 bullwark with the templar skin who also just fucking ran ahead nonstop and insta died every second. This shit is impossible.
idk what changed, but everything about PVP is just super unfun. its never feels good to play. and the 'get 9 kills' for the chaos armor is so fucking gay. thats such an impossibly hard objective to be expected to do
>>543284904Almost how I remembered Sidonius from SM1. Man, all that gear options... Modders doing what devs don't want to be bothered with.
>>543296838weekly hard is easy, unless they just changed it. drop code and I'll be one slightly less shitty teammate
>>543300678Why would you bother getting chaos armor when pvp is the only place you can wear it anyway
>>543301497NTA but I'm holding out hope they'll lax up on their restrictions some day, like they did with champion skins.We can already wear chaos iconography, damn it. These restrictions are so half assed.
How does this game expect me to kill a Lictor as it's walljumping in anything below the lowest difficulty?
almost feel like i should take following blow off my fist
>>543303964???You dodge out of the way and then fuck him up.
>>543304914for the achievement dipshit
>>543305112You don't need to kill him before the leap, "dipshit." You shoot him until his ass falls on the ground.
>>543303964blow yourself up with a melta bomb
>spawn into hard stratagem>surrounded by thousands of enemies>one guy already eaten shit and is dead>get nuked by multiple zoanthrope and ranged nid warriors through >iron halo evaporates in seconds and im down>both other players prestige 4 max level charactersim not saying these things should be easy by any means but Im not quite sure how multiple max level players cant seem to handle these missions
How often do you guys get disconnected? I just tried to do some solo stuff with bots. I had started up VL Absolute and 2 pieces of shit that were like level 5 and 1 tried joining so I decided to give the bots a try. It was going great and then I suddenly get disconnected. Is this just bad luck or does the game screw you trying to play by yourself? At this point, I'm 2 seconds from uninstalling.
>>543312458Max level is just a matter of play time. Plenty of players, particularly PC players, can go through hard strat consistently. You just have to luck out.
>>543314409got better teammates on my next search thankfully, tis done
>>543312458Space Marine 2 is just WWZ with a 40k skin, the devs want you to get swarmed in overwhelming numbersThe difficulty is tuned to Substantial mostly and RuthlessSince the playerbase are drunk on compfaggots and DSfaggots who want harder difficulty Saber shat out Lethal and Absolute to appease these faggots, even buffing Absolute twice resulting in combat that break 40k lore
>true solo absolute as assault>clear the guard camp>next zone>two zoans, a biovore and a carnifex spawn>inferno pistolyeah this game was not made to be played solo
>mfw watching the tact ai get 2shot by a neuro on todays "tact has less hp" daily because i didnt reload after getting him, assuming both that even saber wouldnt have that apply to ai and that the auspex would make up the difference
>accidentally went on Substantial instead of Average threat on a level 5 sniper>somehow made it through and never died with the gene-seedphew
Why do most of the chaos enemies just flat out ignore parries and dodges. Who the fuck qa'd this shit.
>>543305112Replay that one campaign level on Avarax.
>>543318317I've never played on anything lower than ruthless after getting a gold weapon
>>543320062I still only have green weapons
>>543320395post code
>>543321145Oh I just do pub lobbies to grind out mastery. I'm still kinda new and just got all my classes to level 5.
>>543321294we can do ruthless
>>543321498PMVURdo you wanna do public or private?
