I know it's been said to death that bolters live and die by their headshot bonuses, and that's true, but I've gotten so used to them that I legitimately can't use other guns. Maybe a Melta or two depending on the loadout but everything else is a bolter now.

Oh I'm very well aware. I'm just talking about how I got stockholmed into using nothing but Bolters. My Tactical loadouts are just the Headshot BR, Headshot Stalker, and my Sniper/Vanguard Carbine setup now.

>fastest extraction

literally impossible so I'm not even sure what this shit is about, literal swede retard niggers who took a hackers statistic at face value (again btw, they did this for VT2 too and event sent them eye tracker hardware). The timer is over 12 seconds.


>couple thousand people playing 500k hours together is "the equivalent of 56 years of non stop gameplay"
this is such a retarded faggoty way to phrase it like it's meant ot be impressive, but in reality the number is fucking sad. The game has like 10k concurrent players average, the rule of thumb for MMOs is that 10k concurrent means ~100k total users. But MMOs have users put in notoriously high playtimes so there's likely more total regulars for Darktide (since lower playtimes = lower concurrent numbers).
But even then going by 100k, the most generous estimation, this means that on average each (ACTIVE!) player put 5 hours into expeditions. I hated it and i put like 20 hours into. Now imagine how fucking low the playtime of all the non-sweats must've been. They played maybe one or two missions tops. Nice brag you stupid fucking swedes, literally accidentally releasing a statistic that proves the mode is fucking dead lol.

Also on a lesser note the little picture made me realize that tech remnants are probably meant to be a joke about how expensive RAM is now

Not a single melee Warrior spawned in this entire wave. There needs to be limiters on this stupid unfun gay bullshit that forces you to rollslop in high numbers.

One of these niggers was a snoy who fired his bolt pistol at a Neurothrope I was in the middle of executing.

>>563894035
The whole game is fucked with how they balanced things. Ranged enemies should only show up in a ratio of 1:9 with their melee counterparts with how they've balanced survivability relying entirely on melee mechanics. But instead Chaos is almost only ranged enemies and nids is a hit or miss with what you get.

>>563909604
People have noted that the recent patch has inexplicably tilted the spawns towards ranged Warriors, and I'm inclined to agree. Chaos feels the same as it always has, and is actually generally less annoying to deal with than massed Devourers, Barbed Stranglers and Venom Cannons. At least side-stepping is generally way more reliable in avoiding Rubric Marine projectiles than the scattershot Devourers, and sniper cultists can be killed in one shot unlike Venom Cannons who will probably force you to roll out the way at least once, and don't even fucking get me started on when they become enraged and start spamming double shots. And while you're dealing with all of this, the ground is being carpeted in fucking vines by like three cunts sitting on the other side of the level who you're struggling to reach because the Devourers and Venom Cannons are forcing you to spam roll like you're playing Dark Souls III.

Love how Saber pretty much said "lol we can't figure out a niche for this weapon so it's just going to be shit forever".

>>563932795
The niche would've been to lower hp for chaff by 35% across the board and by about 20-25% for anything between majoris and terminus. Bam, that solves bolters damage issue.
And vatniks could take a shot of vodka every time people would applaud them for it (like they did with this weekly modifier).

They should just remove vanguard and replace him with an apothecary class.

>>563972908

Maybe for SM3, even though Apothecary has been the most upvoted idea on their goodboy forums since launch.

implementing it would be easy now that the techmarine exists, the narthecium is just an accessory and not something active like the servogun and it's not used for melee executes and its simply an animation of drilling a battle brudda while reviving
vanguard's extremis and majoris heal, advanced conditioning, bulwark's heal flag and sniper's fast heal should all go to the apothecary
main skill is reductor pistol; shoot a teammate with this pistol and they get fully healed slowly with wound removal
team skills includes a) advanced conditioning b) unmatched zeal c) extra supplies (+2 medkits for everyone) with a 30% heal bonus
class skills includes a) carrying a gene seed slashes main skill cooldown by 50% b) every majoris kill gives hp back c) instead of a slow healing field, everyone's hp gets replenished instantly along with any armour
prestige perks a) when reviving downed teamate you are invulnerable b) extra fortitude (50% bonus healing) c) ammo replenishment per extremis execute d) if you're the last man standing you become invulnerable for 30 seconds and all revive counters drop down to 30 seconds save for counters already below 30 seconds e) reviving a downed teammate replenishes all both of your hp and removes both of your wounds f) you are immune to heavy and charged attacks
ranged weapons: pistols only
melee weapons: chainsword, power axe, power sword, combat knife

>>563979550
>implementing it would be easy now that the techmarine exists,
how does the addition of techmarine make it easier to implement new classes again?

>>563985997
the apothecary is basically a pure melee techmarine with his dangling medical servoarm and narthecium useless
or a tactical with healing and a chainsword

I see cohesion still filters randos something fierce.
Fucking hell.

I just avoid the strats with those player proximity modifiers cause they're fucking bullshit. Some of these mods really need their own ui elements, or better ones (looking at the one that makes enemies only killable by one player).

If someone leaves and you're stuck with a bot, you just get your healing permanently turned off by the one that activates when you're too close, cause bots stick to you like glue. Just outright bad game design right there.
Plus scrubs will fuck you. Sometimes I NEED to pop a stim RIGHT NOW, or get an execution RIGHT NOW, and a retard will be there "helping" me fight.
Not the type of difficulty I wanna deal with. I don't want other players to control the playability of the game for me to that degree.

The one that activates when you're too far is annoying because a lot of objectives are just better done separated, and classes like assault, vanguard, sniper, and bulwark feel neutered.
Plus iirc it fucks you and perma turns off your healing if you're last man standing, which is just puuuuuure fucking bullshit.
It's next to impossible enough WITH healing if I'm soloing a neuro + extremis frame trap squad on hard. Plus last man standings are the peaks of this game for me, and this modifier basically just ruins them.

>>563990306
I think they should redesign them like team ninja redesigned the abyss in nioh, if there's any fellow niohggas that know what I'm talking about.
Instead of making them penalize you, they should buff you instead. Either way, they really need to at least make your squad mates as visible as teammates are in pvp.

>>564000907
No point in keeping them if you can spend it and make use of those heroics. Had they raised the cap to say 2-3k, now that'd be a different story. Any potential update won't come until June at least, and that's if they don't throw in a test server in the meantime to pad out the time even more.
Wonder what'll break after this one?

It really is a baffling decision. There was no need to turn the meltagun into a shotgun when Space Marines actually use their own pattern of shotgun. Everyone loves a good shotgun in a horde shooter.

The same game as SM2 but with two bad factions instead of one.

>>564006562
Actually, let me elaborate. If SM3 is any less of an improvement to SM2 that Vermintide 2 was to 1 it will be a massive disappointment. I don't trust Saber to be able to deliver because they struggle to make any good decisions with SM2 and have managed to miss their stated time tables with every update since the game came out.

Saber has the perfect setup to make SM3 a genuinely good horde shooter but Russians have room temperature IQs, their game director talks like he smokes heroin, and Saber's business model is to produce as much garbage as they can every year and hope one of them makes back enough money to keep the lights on.

I wish I could say the Wings of Flame build is better than Bulwark simply being able to raise his shield and cancel out of any attack whenever he wants for free, but it's not. The shield cancel Just Works™ every single time, meanwhile Conviction won't proc occasionally even if you're colliding with the hitbox of a charging Carnifex and your dash attack has the tendency to not magnetise towards an enemy even if you're facing in their direction, meaning you won't get a charge back with Furious Strikes.
Also it's bullshit that Bulwark can generate momentum from nothing and stagger enraged majoris with shield rush, which is very useful against Devourers and Venom Cannons on a melee class (where the shield is already useful against them for obvious reasons). Meanwhile Assault has to spend an entire unrefundable charge on a ground pound to achieve the same effect because his jump pack dash attack won't make them budge even though he's using fucking rocket boosters to propel his full weight (between 500kg-700kg btw) into an enemy.
