Thunder Hammer, yes or no?
I fucking hate shitter trench in EU
>>573695667It's a meme, only built to oneshot bosses while being terrible vs hordes especially now with Vanguards.
I forget, what are the reasons for choosing between hyper-critical and hyper-violence for hive scum? Should I use hyper-critical with my gun build?
>>573695667To the despair of many, it's irredeemable dogshit.
>>573695561Are there any sisters of battle who fell to slaneesh worship? Just curious.
>>573695315Generally Untranny Strike is used to help you kill carapace better, while bleeds go on crit builds or chain weapons (except Eviscerator which has an arbitrarily nerfed version).Bleeds would be better for bossing if you can't get enough burst damage on your team, but Untranny Strike is better for killing armor if your ability or gun cannot.
>>573695504>umm why does this futuristic stylized sci-fi weapon look so weird? why isn't it ARslop?
>>573695962Literally just one known sister. Sisters falling to chaos almost always does not happen. Period. https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Miriael_Sabathiel
>>573695667This>>573695797Vanguards have totally cucked it out of existence.
>too retarded to consistently beat damnation>hop on ogryn>suddenly able to consistently beat itis the class buffed by how stupid you are or something
>>573695869they both just reward you for using weapons that are capable of dealing as much damage as possible in a single shotcan absolutely be used on a gun build, but it depends on the gun
>>573696201>Literally just one known sister.Imagine the amount of depraved things she does
>>573696201Nah, it happens, they're just far better at concealing it than others. A whole order gets corrupted in Requiem Infernal, all the Sisters on the battlefleet that were corrupted by Khorne in arks of omen, etcNo one is incorruptible (well except people without souls like blanks) and if faith was all it took then marines wouldn't fall to chaos and, lol
I fucking hate trenchshitters>hmmm should I pick ogryn grenade for the team or rock so I can at least kill gunners?>okay this team is probably alright I'm gonna take grenade>die to gunners 2 minutes into the gameFUCK
>>573696718>if faith was all it took then marines wouldn't fall to chaosmarines are nowhere near as faithful as sororitas are
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS5UGurCIN4
>>573696718>if faith was all it took then marines wouldn't fall to chaosNTA and not contesting that sisters can fall, just specifically on this line I think this is a poor parallel to draw because astartes don't systematically lean on faith as strongly and to the extent that the sisters do.
I wish you could change operative names
>>573696201miriael actually brought a whole bunch of her sisters with her when she turned>‘You think I am the only one to fall?’ The figure in white laughed and the harsh sound cascaded off the broken walls. ‘The only one who willingly burned her oath for greater power? You know better than that, Sister Miriya. After all, it is your Order that carries the stain of being the first to give up a daughter to the Eightfold Path!’>‘Do not… speak the name!’ The wounded Battle Sister coughed up blood as she shouted out the words.>‘Sister Superior Miriael Sabathiel!’ shouted the Iconoclast. ‘She of the Order of Our Martyred Lady! Given unto the embrace of the Lord of Dark Delights, and such a waste too…’ She shook her head sadly, mockingly. ‘As callow novices we were taught that no Sister ever falls, but Sabathiel is known. She is the cautionary tale. How do you square that circle, Miriya? None fall, yet one fell? How does it feel to know you are lied to?’ She reached for an answer and could not find one.>‘Sabathiel was only the first. She built her own war band out of pious Sisters she enslaved herself from Order of the Argent Shroud, much to their shame… And then there were the others, quietly killed and cut out of history… Or replaced. Like me.’ Oleande strode back to her wounded double and glared at her. ‘All to protect the great lie of the Adepta Sororitas, to shield its brittle heart and soul from the shattering truth of Chaos!’ She drew back and spat in her own face. ‘You see before you the blood-soaked shame of the Valorous Heart. So humiliated they were by my defection to the true gods that they made this lie. Took a Sister and gave her my aspect, so that none would know. And they’ve been following your crusade ever since, Miriya. Waiting for this moment to come and end me. To seal the secret forever and burn out the indignity that is the heretic Oleande. The Iconoclast who dared to disown them.’
>>573697168You can. Go see the barber-surgeon.
>>573697197Is that from the invitation?
>>573697421for real?let me finish this mission first
Huh. Turns out the nox alpha camo matches the Branx skins. Too bad you only have access to laspistol, dclaw and chainsword with that camo pattern.
>>573697624skipped leg day
>>573696446Unironically yes. My idiot friend who always gravitates toward bruteforce and retard strats for everything instinctively started maining it. It's the ultimate roleplay.
It has occurred to me that the Skitarii only actually comes "alive" at Auric and Havoc. The class's... hook (since I can't think of a better word) may as well not exist below that due to the horde density not being deep enough, and there not being enough mass. Arc Rifles can't become truly effective on Damnation, functionally any Autogun is better. Same goes for the Phosphor Pistol. Transonics rely on there being a lot of mass to shine, without that they can't produce enough DPS to keep up with a knife, or an axe, or even the chain sword. They are still effective, but you can see these weapons falling behind weapons they shouldn't be losing to in damage output. It's kinda weird and makes me think that the Skitarii was not balanced around Heresy, but rather Auric or perhaps even Havoc given you can spend a single point to just ignore the most hated Havoc modifier, and there is effectively endless mass for you to deal with. A shitload of different ways to stun lock with electricity even without Arcs. On top of them providing you the ultimate clutch tool in the form of the Servo-skull. Does anyone else think that the Skitarii was a clean sheet attempt by Fatshark to buck the stereotype that their classes are balanced for Heresy?
>>573697442it's from heart and soul, from the SOB omnibus
>>573697453Yes, his personality scourge service lets you modify your appearance, voice and name for 50k dockets.
>>573696718True but compared to Space Marines Sisters might as well be incorruptible. A convent of sisters falling to chaos is rare as hell, but space marines fall to chaos constantly.
>>573698139There is not a single chaos heretic black templar in the entire history they have existed.
It's time.
>>573698265Anon there are black templars who have fallen to chaos
Nice premium cosmetic fatshark.
gentlemen, we've made it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8q5qbtitVY
>>573698139>>573698265Space Marines is such a broad term that doesn't really say anything when there are billions of chapters with different ideologies.
>>573698265That's because the Chaplains have even more authority than usual and in greater count than other chapters due to the BTs ignoring the 1k limit. They also don't really give their Marines the opportunity to be idle as a consequence of being constantly on crusade. Finally, the BTs most common foes are Xenos, not Chaos. They are by far most well known for fighting Orks practically nonstop.
>>573698712BT's do in fact fall to chaos though. This is canon.
>>573696201>Sisters falling to chaos almost always does not happen. Period.It does happen, the ecclesiarchy just covers it up.Iconoclast is another sister of battle who fell to chaos, but she worships Khorne.Then there's the Fleet Quartus that consisted of guardsmen, admech, space marines and yes even sisters of battle, and they all fell into the worship of Khorne during the Arks of Omen.Sisters have never ever been immune to chaos corruption. That has never been a thing and it's just retards making assumptions.They are regular basic humans, nothing more.
>>573698848Name them.
>>573698951They're not important enough to have names but they literally exist
>>573698139>A convent of sisters falling to chaos is rare as hellIt's really not, it's just entirely covered up.Also sisters of battle were ignored by GW for the better part of almost 20 years. There being less chaos sisters has nothing to do with sisters being more resistant to chaos corruption, it's purely because GW ignored the entire faction for 20 years and didn't write anything for them or making models.It's also an established fact in 40k that being too fanatical worshipper of the Emperor will lead to chaos corrupting a person.The religion/faith protecting you has always been a sham.It's one of the reasons why the Emperor hates religion and wanted it gone, because it just gives a very easy way for daemons to start influence humans. Daemons are capable of shapeshifting and changing their appearance.That cool "angel" of the Emperor you saw in your dream? Not an angel, it's a daemon tempting you to the side of chaos in such subtle ways you yourself won't notice the corruption until far too late.
I'm finally free
>>573699365uhuh
>>573698265there are probably more chaos BTs then any other faction due to their extremely lax recruitment standards and khornate mindset
Blessed be thine aim has been quite the grind but at least it had a simple condition.
Why would you ever use the galvanic rifle? the arc rifle is just better
>>573699365>The religion/faith protecting you has always been a sham.Not true. Maybe it was once upon a time, but the cruel irony is that it’s infinitely more effective at defending against Chaos than Emp’s atheism plan to starve them out ever was. The Emperor and anything associated with him like imperial symbols are anathema to Chaos now because they made him into a religion and believed strongly enough in him.
>>573698951most recently, arks of omen had a bunch of them (and sisters) getting turned to chaos>Traitor horde still advancing on Shaaneweld...>Current makeup est... Black Templars, Crimson Guard... Astra Militarum... House Taranis... Adeptus Mechanicus...>Crude pack hierarchal structure observed, supersedes existing Imperial organizational doctrines.>Repeating sigil/rune on banners, daubed on vehicle hulls, scarified into flesh: identification still pending, all data-offerings rejected and auto-chastised as a heresy risk.
>>573700302>Why would you ever use the galvanic rifle?That's just it, you wouldn't.
>>573700391but it looks cool...
>>573700150That seems unlikely. We’ve seen BT’s threaten to kill each other just because they have too much of a tinge of pride in their voices when they speak. Out of all the chapters they should be most keenly aware of what Marines are susceptible to when it comes to heresy and corruption.
>>573700302Good players can make up for weapon balancing shortcomings by simply being better, but yes realistically if all you care about is going pure meta the galvanic rifle has no place in the game right now
>>573696718>>573697197>>573698907Black Library slop is not canon sorry.
>>573701727b-but my favorite 40k jewtuber said...
Today I was not declined enough and my assignment went from 26 to 24 :)
Should I just put fov on max or is it not recommended? Yes I just installed. Google is not being of great help.
>>573702537You should always max out your FoV if you want to have any sort of competitive advantage. Autistic fisheye view is technically optimal if you can handle it. Realistically, use whatever highest setting you feel comfortable using. Try increasing a little bit every couple matches until you find something that sticks.
>>573702537do you like more fov?it doesn't matter that much, good headphones will do more
UP IN DA CLUB!
>>573697743>you can spend a single point to just ignore the most hated Havoc modifierRotten armour has not been in rotation ever since they supposedly changed it to be fun, though.
>>573703094I assume he means the shitter levels where retards just stand in the circles and don't know the extremely esoteric secret hidden tech of running a health curio with corruption resist and bringing a purity zealot
>>573702537Past a certain point wide FOV becomes estrogenic and before you know it you will be downloading cheats mods with your discordsisters.
>>573699401Please, may I touch you?
Cadia?More like CACAdia!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8q5qbtitVY
In like two more sessions of darktide I will only be missing the private game restricted class penances.
>>573702537I just have my FOV at default, it's just fine, at least for me. I haven't changed it ever.
>>573703718Let's do some of them right now, post a code and I'll be there
>>573703508post the unlocked patreon version if you're gonna shill
>>573703052Fuck, it's that fucking zip Furio back in /coopg/ again...
>>573703829How do I find this code? I have never attempted to create a party
>>573704445
>>5737045838088982021
>>573700320Quite apart from it invariably being a thinly veiled excuse to masturbate, this is why I hate people wanting chaos sisters. The irony is delicious.
>>573700320>Maybe it was once upon a timeNo, it still is.Chaos corrupting the "faithful" is such a fucking problem that the inquisition has an entire ordo, the Ordo Hereticus, acting as the 24/7/365 supervisors/tard wranglers for the entirety of the Ecclesiarchy and Imperial Cult. Specifically to root out any fringe beliefs or chaos influence.The entire religion is a sham.
>>573702537high fov means more peripheral vision and low fov means more accurate aimingit's your choice, I haven't touched default fovthere are audio cues when something is hitting you in the back, I don't feel the lack of peripheral vision except for the cases when enemies only render in your back when you run past them or a silent crusher creeps up to you, but high fov wouldn't help against those anyway
>>573705753The Ordo Hereticus doesn't necessarily target the most faithful, it targets everyone
>>573697743Before aurics you can have fun throwing bodies around with Arc Baseball Bat, it has an incredibly satisfying horizontal heavy loop and sending grunts flying with hammerblow is kino
>>573706128It targets the Ecclesiarchy the most because that' where all the worst damage is done.Even with the fall of vraks cardinal Xaphan's fall is described as textbook by the inquisition. That term alone tells you this is a very common, reoccuring problem the Inquisition needs to be stamping out all the time.
So, do I go get declined again? No way I can do this with randoms, right?
>>573701727Black Library is canon, it's more canon than shit like Darktide or even SM2 is.
>>573706639>darktide was written by a bl writerWhat now?
>>573704849??>>573705753The Ordo Hereticus goes after everyone from actual religious heretics to seditionists to criminal organizations. Chaos is a problem with or without people having faith. That doesn’t change the fact that the emperor being a warp entity at least gives people a tangible defense against it instead of having to rely on being entirely ignorant of it (something that was always going to be impossible).
>it's a "retards keep going down and ragequit halfway through" missionWhy are these people in auric? I don't even mind carrying, but the least they could do is stick around so I don't have to finish the mission with 3 bots.
>>573706538I was gonna say those are some of the easiest modifiers for hab dreyko but then I saw>Infernolmao.Still doable, at least.
>>573698139Not really. Sisters definitely don’t fall as often but they fall all the same. The exact rate is highly obfuscated and up for debate though since they go to great lengths to hide every occurrence.
>it's a Crusher/Mauler sneaks up on your with an overhead smash because the giant dude in heavy armour/dude with a chainsaw is the perfect silent assassin episode
>>573698139>sisters might as well be incorruptibleCan't beat the cock.Nope.Just can't, no one can beat the cock.
>>573706950I assume they might be doing the 10 mission without dying Penance (or the 5 in Maelstorm) so they just alt+F4 if they're about to die.Yet another case of Swedes directly incentivizing people to play like absolute retards and troll their team. Fantastic game design.
>>573706889>the emperor being a warp entityHe is not. We specifically know that the Emperor is still entirely chained to the Golden Throne and in real space.And he also debirately rejected godhood entirely during the Horus Heresy. The Emperor specifically is no god, never was, never will be.
>>573707438Wrong.
>>573698139>Sisters might as well be incorruptible.They are not, they never have been.Sisterfags just spew this because they want to feel more special about their faction and dunk on marines. That's all it is.
I'm waiting this autumn for Valheim and Enshrouded to reach 1.0 and finally have a full play with frens
>>573707589Hell yeah brother I'm looking forward to hosting a Valheim server for my friends when it comes out.
I think I've become a psyker main. Every time I'm playing another character I find myself yearning for the destruction that seemingly only the greatsword and mage builds can cause. Nothing comes close to the feeling of sending warp magic through 50+ enemies and all of them falling over in unison.
>>573703829Let it be known this anon is legit.
>>573707580Dunking on marines is a beautiful and wholesome thing. Also even ithough there sisters who fall to chaos they fall FAR FAR less than marines do despite being a gajillion times more numerous than space marines.
>>573707837on psyker I unconsciously start holding back because I feel like I'm being a buzzkill to the melee classes, it's been like this since my old days with sienna
>>573707927That would be because marines are more susceptible to warp influence than normal humans due to the psychic nature of geneseed, it was the entire reason they and the primarchs couldn't be told what chaos actually was, or they'd have turned to it in far greater numbers. For the sissies, sheer faith and contempt protects them, but it's not a perfect shield, it's why they're heavily indoctrinated from a very young age into the imperial cult. They sooner martyr themselves than get captured, but as that one example proves, they can be made to crack, chaos can get anyone with enough effort.>Not Big EExcept him.
I hate smiggers hate hate hate hateh ateh ateha teha te hate hate
>>573695784It's true, fucking retard
>>573706714dabnett mostly wrote the backstory. a lot of the stuff in game atm is written by matt ward
>>573707837>>573708067You know what, I'm gonna go play my psyker now
>>573708534I've started bringing smite into every Rolling Steel and No Man's Land when I'm on psyker. Not smigger, just 1 point for cheap pathing, but god damn does that shit clutch when you have 3 useless retard noobs that can't even slide to carry a barrel and don't have enough damage output to kill a crusher.It's insane how good smite is even if you just randomly throw it on a gaze build, just because smite + gaze is broken.
>>573708585Incredible show of restraint that he didn't jam smurfs in somehow, but I guess the story's not finished yet, so there's still a chance
>>573708452chaos could get big e, and arguably already did what with him doing a nefarious sneaky sacrifice to them to get a bunch of power
>>573708452>That would be because marines are more susceptible to warp influence than normal humans due to the psychic nature of geneseedby that logic sisters should be just as susceptable because they're hyper religious and religion feeds the warp. But marines are mostly atheists yet they fall constantly.
>have the most fun playing with the braced autogun mowing down close to midrange anything i want>watch a few darktide ranking youtube slop>always F garbo shit nigger tierIs it really that bad? Or is everyone just judging from Havoc 40 gameplay? I only play Auric really so I wouldn't know.
>>573707438He has a presence in the Warp so powerful he can manifest things in real space and even empower those who believe in him strong enough. That’s what Living Saints and Emperor’s Champions are. He isn’t a ‘god’ but he is his own entity in the Warp with his own niche and domain, there’s really no other word for it.
>>573695869can I use both
>>573698515what a particularly boring video, other than the gun guy just naming guns that look like the things in the game i dont even know why hes thereand the other half of the video is just the darktide guy lore dumping
>>573708795Anything works in Auric, it's just that they still have to compete with the same powerful weapons that are necessary in Havoc so nobody is going to go recommending them there either. If it works and you're having fun, then it's good enough for Auric brotha
>>573708738We don’t know what that bargain or deal even entailed so not really. It was probably possible in 30k when he was still walking around but not now.
thoughts on laspistol skittarii?
>>573708795They're used to havoc so they subconsciously assume ammo starvation and mostly judge ranged weapons based on specialist/elite sniping capabilities and/or boss damage. When ammo is plentiful you can achieve psyker-levels of damage by just shooting all the poxies, as seen from the average looger performance.
>>573709160Isn't the assertion that he made a bargain with the chaos gods also only a completely unverifiable claim by horus? Who was told that by the chaos gods anyway?
Wow this is almost the least fun thing I could think of
>>573709545YON BARREL
>>573708795They're quite nice but they are incredibly ammo hungry, and need some nodes built around them, mostly crit focus. It can admittedly feel very strong in auric but it suffers in havoc where ammo is very scarce and limited.
>>573706979inferno is a free modifier althoughbeit
>>573708795you can savely ignore any and all tierlists, you can make any gear work in aurics and if you are good enough also in havoc, meta niggers deserve the rope
>>573708757>religion feeds the warpThe warp and chaos aren't synonymous, focused faith on iconography or figures that specifically aren't the chaos gods actually deprives them of influence over such people, the imperial faith is that mechanism at work. Atheism feeds the chaos gods more than religion since the chaos gods feed on general aspects of the psyche, without faith in anything else, the psychic energy goes to them. Humans in the Tau empire made T'au'va for example through their faith and belief in it, faith in the Emperor empowers him, the Eldar focus theirs on Isha, Cegorach and Ynnead. The Nids don't feed chaos either because they're inextricably bound to the hive mind, which is essentially their own warp god.
>>573709545Swap every enemy with barrels
>>573707927>sisters who fall to chaos they fall FAR FAR less than marines doThey fall the same amount, the Ecclesiarchy just covers it all up. That's just the facts of it.You're literally falling for in-universe propaganda.
>>573709705>look inside>armor spam
>>573709721Did the tau god thing ever go anywhere? I've heard literally nothing about the thing beyond its creation. Hasn't it been like 10 real life years since that thing?
>>573709721>The warp and chaos aren't synonymousIt is. Chaos encompases the entirety of the Warp.Warp's other name is literally "THE Realm of Chaos".All warp shit is just chaos shit.What's even funnier is that when the sisters of Fleet Quartus got corrupted in Arks of Omen. They went on ahead to pillage imperial worlds, and there's a snippet of an imperial scholar screaming in terror and in denial about how the chaos corrupted sisters were using the exact same style miracle bullshit the loyalist ones would use.This alone proves that the sister's "faith" shit is just daemon shit at its core. Which is hilarious.
>>573710040Nah, it's been left dangling like the Ynnari, because 40k is about humanity. Still no meeting between Girlyman and Leon by the way. You may learn more in the 2030s
>>573708795Yeah braced autoguns kind of suck. Even within the group of guns that shoot bullets and go dakka you could switch to infantry autogun and that would already be a big step up.
>>573706979I played someone else's gloriana and it went about as you might expect we won because 2 ogryns can't die
>>573710224>durr they call it the realm of chaos so that's what it isStop getting your lore from youtubers. Chaos is of the warp and its current predominant force, but it's categorically not the only thing in there.
Is there a de facto "best" option for FGS marks, or is it one of those that's just up to preference?
>>573708795It fulfills no purpose because its role of suppressing is done by any gone, and its role of clearing hordes is the job of your melee weapon. Meanwhile it hogs your ranged slot but can't reliably or quickly delete trappers, snipers, bombers etc.There's just no point using it, and most things it does, and a lot it doesn't, are done by the IAG.
>>573710040It has the potential to be extremely funny given that it's a god formed of common belief, ie what the propaganda says the tau empire stands for.
>>573710261>hey so here's all this new gay and lame and retarded shit>and that's all, we'll leave you to stew on that for 20 yearsThanks GW.If they're not outright murdering their IPs they're actively making them worse.
Sob is literally just zealots in power armor, there's no real way to make a meaningful distinction between the two in game.
>>573710642One has better horde clear with light attacks and the other slightly more damage on heavy attacks because it has a stabI've seen noobs suffer from the "better" mark (the one with a stab) because they parrot influencer's builds but can't learn the moveset
>>573710689>done by any gonegun*gonne*kek why am I making these retarded typos, I'm not even on phone.
>first mission after installing>a bunch of people I assumed to be bots randomly dying to "hordes" of like 5 fodder zombies (later found out they weren't cuz they had actual steam profiles)>raised people like 6 times>everyone wearing default prisoner clothing including myself except for the skiitariI was expecting to have some advanced vet flexing on beginner missions but I guess not. Also super weird how the mission sort of just ended we were distributed exp and currencies that I don't know what they do and that's it. No stats, scores or anything.
>>573710762They only care about selling little plastic men, yes. There's nothing more powerful in these settings than GW themselves.
>>573710840phonebrain
>>573710824I really don’t get why people can’t understand thatThere’s really no way to make them unique as Zealot is essential a discount version
>>573710642Preference. One has a slightly more convenient hordeclear moveset and the other has a slightly more convenient single target moveset but both can easily do either.
>>573711018>>573710824you don't understand battle sisters
>>573709715kthx, going into havoc with the heavy sword and shredder autopistol, wish me luck!

>>573701727>tabletop/BL/codexes/vidya are not canon the only thing that's canon is the based groyper tiktok short I watchedin the grimdorkness of the gay ass present there is only larpery
>>573710642Mk6 is slightly better if you don't suck at mixed combos, mostly because it has better access to the stab heavy. The other mark is a bit more straightforward for people who prefer not to put more thought into the combo system than "short clicks=horde long clicks=big enemies".
>>573710642I just use the one that spams horizontal light attacks because it's my horde clear on staff psyker. The heavies are still very good single target, and the push attack's stab is downright retarded. It's just easier to use. If it were a dedicated melee build I'd consider learning the other one.
>>573709160it was done on a planet literally called 'moloch', he sacrificed some of the primarchs willingly
>>573711018Well they could come up with any number of unique faith-based miracles for their active abilities that don't have to overlap zealot at all. They also have meltaguns as part of their core identity and that niche isn't touched yet. The only other thing I can think of is the jump packs, but there is no way in hell Fatshark is putting an ability like that in this janky ass game full of death pits.
>>573711143Oh I understand them pretty well, maybe you don't.
>>573710824They can always make new zealot weapons and cuck zealot out of them. There's your distinction.I believe they will make dual wielding SoB's gimmick, they have been doing fake dual wielding with every dlc class now but they never went as far as combining melee and ranged. Once they figure out you can aim while blocking with your sword (exactly like arbites shotpistol + riot shield combo works) they can start making chain weapons + bolter combinations of every kind.And they will explain the ability to wield 2 weapons by power armor.And maybe there will be 2-handed power weapons as well.
>>573710845>default nameShameful.
>>573710845>Also super weird how the mission sort of just ended we were distributed exp and currencies that I don't know what they do and that's it. No stats, scores or anythingIf you stick around here you will see the kind of freak autists that the scoreboard enables. FatShark was 100% right to not include it.
>>573711512>And they will explain the ability to wield 2 weapons by power armor.Man that shit better get shared to other classes if it's literally just putting two weapons they have access to already together.
>>573710448sorry but you're a retard who hasn't read any chaos daemons codices>The Realm of Chaos, also known as the Warp, the Immaterium or Warpspace, is a dimension parallel to our own, a universe devoid of matter and life, without laws of time and space. It is a random, unstructured dimension of pure energy and unfocused consciousness. It is Chaos, unfettered by the limits of physics and undirected by intelligent purpose. Warpspace is Chaos, Chaos is Warpspace; the two are indivisibleChaos Daemons Codex 4th edition, page 6also consistent with lore going back all the way to the 1990s, and identical passages appear in chaos daemons 8th edition codex and beyondthe actual youtuber lore is 'ackshually, the warp and chaos are seperate things!'
>>573711018>a veteran is just a guy with a gun in flak armor>an arbitrator is just a guy with a gun in carapace armor>a hive scum is just a guy with a gun in rags
>>573711661>he falls for unreliable narrator nonsenseThe warp has a dozen different names if not more, and we know for a fact that there's shit in there that isn't chaos aligned.
>>573711421Yeah a miracle ability like they pull out a reliquary and pulsing light comes from it and pushes back enemies and gives your teammates gold toughness and it could clear corruption. And nobody else in the setting of warhammer uses melta guns, especially the guard they NEVER use melta guns so we should totally add sob instead of just giving the melta to vet.
>>573711830>codices are unreliable narratorsthis is the peak sign you are a secondary
>>573710040Shadowsun might maybe sort of kind of start worshiping her.
>>573711962Hey brother that's not what I'm saying, I'm just thinking about what you could possibly give them so that they'd have a unique identity. I have no dog in the race for what gets added next, though if they do add sisters I demand one of the personalities just be Argenta.
>>573711971Yes, because codices often contradict each other and have at least one retcon every edition
>>573711587Are you the freak autist that stalked another anon because he made fun of you for sucking ass?
>BL means Black LibraryOoooh yeah ahah that makes more sense...
>>573711691A soldier, a cop and a gangster, all pretty different.
>>573712098You got something to share with the class?
>>573711587I mean I get the turbo autism angle you're going for but it feels a bit anticlimatic not being able to see how well you did.I guess it's a case of a few sour grapes ruining it for everyone else?
>>573711628Can't do, recoil will snap your joints if you hold a bolt pistol in your left hand without a power armor :)
>>573711018>>573710824you lack imagination, off the top of my head:powered weapons like halberd/neural whipblessed weapons aka saltzpyre wp holy weapon effectsmeltagunsinferno pistolcould also play around having specific relics with an aoe like a weaker effect but higher uptime scum cartel special, or having something similar to kruber's gk benison system
>>573710845Yeah they didn't add a scoreboard in this one because... ??? I assume it was about reducing toxicity in the playerbase but I never saw for sure what the reason was. But nah, you won't really see the advanced players in those low difficulties unless they happen to be leveling a new class, since you're required to go through the difficulty unlocking for each character you make. >>573712235Yeah?
>>573711830There is Chaos as the conceptual whole, and Chaos as the enemy faction. There are warp entities that are not Chaos as the enemy faction aligned, but it's all Chaos as a part of the immaterial concept.
>>573711453they're ranged. zealot is melee

>>573712235meme lore
>>573710926What part of giving the emperor a retarded bitch wife that turned out to be the root cause of the horus heresy sells more plastic?
>>573712467No anon, the one thing that defines Chaos as a whole is its corruptive influence, and we know there are warp entities that don't exert corruption over their followers, ergo they are not Chaos.
>>573712230>I guess it's a case of a few sour grapes ruining it for everyone else?No he's just the kind of retard that throws a tantrum over not being #1 top performer. Only sour grapes are upset over scoreboards. Most adults know not to take them seriously, especially ones that are poorly configured (like the default mod scoreboard). It's not like they show everything that you did that won the game, they're just a half-decent approximation of player performance and that's it.
>>573712659>women are bad, one caused the heresy>also here are female custodes to be more inclusiveGW is really uh, sending some mixed messages here
>>573712230>I guess it's a case of a few sour grapes ruining it for everyone else?Kind of. In Vermintide 2 literally every match had an elf running ahead shooting as many idle rats as possible to farm kills. When you see people mention "green circles" that's what they are talking about. I do agree that being able to track stats would be nice for people just starting out though.
>>573712659yeah that was just a screw up but it also seems dead in the water at this point>>573712235You’re thinking about the space marine variants. The regular variants just require you to brace yourself.
>>573712568don't be a retard, the point is that you said that there was no way to make a meaningful distinction which is simply untrue. Besides, just because you could conceivably physically put something in your character's hands doesn't mean they're allowed to or that your character wants to deploy with it.All the things I listed are things that the current roster don't have and if given to a new character would differentiate them.
>>573708708There's a banter conversation about rumors of there being a Codex Asstardes aboard the ship and the zealots want to go gawk at it, and another where the rejects were wishing for spess mehreens to come save the day and trying to guess who will show up, unsurprisingly the smurfs come up.
>>573713041I'm thinking about the explanation fatshark will give you
>>573712230That's why you can get scoreboard mods, just don't be an ass about metrics in-game. I for one just like seeing my kills go up in real time.
>>573709398It’s speculation afaik yes. The only ‘fact’ we seem to know is that he met up with them at some point but I’d have to go look for the source of that too. What for or why, we don’t know.>>573711370I don’t think that’s reason enough to conclude that.
>>573713281you have a kill counter like dynasty warriors?
>>573713093Aside from the wip which admittedly I don't know anything about, those other weapons are fairly common with other human factions. And If you're comparing the potential class abilities to the abilities of an existing class it's not meaningfully different.
>>573713520yo that would be sick actually like a combo counter that resets when you get hit
nta but some cool stuff that other classes will use will be class exclusive because they want you to buy the class.

>>573710040The tau are still continuing their cull of humans to keep it under control. That’s about it.>>573710762They need to milk out the profits and keep people speculating and guessing after all. ;) in some ways I’m kind of fond of this decision but it’s definitely too glacial at points
>>573709398If Horus were more media literate, none of this would've happened.
>>573711370Sacrificed some of the primarchs? When he already had all his magic powers? When we know it wasn't up to him that they were spirited away? When we know the lost primarchs were found and purged for ambiguous reasons?
>>573713520https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/577I use this one because it's fairly simple, in-game it just tracks total kills and damage, and you get the scoreboard at the end to see who killed what. It's not perfect, I'd like a big number superimposed in the middle of the screen for the authentic Kharn experience, but I'll take what I can get.
>>573712098‘toroposters… when will they learn???
It's actually kind of surprising how GW let Darktide get away with not having any of the dumbass marvel heros.
>>573713960What do you mean? I'm here, I'm the main character.
>>573713708eh it looks kinda lame... I want a cool font and on the corner of my screen.>>573713832It's informative but.. too informative for me
>>573712720you are mistaking the Dark Powers/Gods of Chaos for Chaos in its totality. >there are warp entities that don't exert corruption over their followersIn universe there are polite separations for it. But it's still Chaos from an audience perspective of the greater metaphysics of the universe.
>>573713712It seems to me that the tau empire is way too fucking small for just the humans in it to create their own chaos god.If that was the case then the emperor should be so psychically superpowered from almost an entire galaxy worth of constant worship for ten thousand years that his force ghost can just rock up to each chaos god's warp palace and beat the shit out of them without contest.
>>573713449>What for or why, we don’t know.We know he bargained for the knowledge of how to make the primarchs, and that he left way more powerful than when he went in, so he definitely did some shady shit. Horus' internal dialogue during The End and the Death imply the deal was that the chaos gods would teach the Emperor how to make the primarchs, and in return the Emperor was meant to deliver them or humanity at large to the service of chaos. To "share the fire" to use Horus' words.
>>573714059>on the corner of my screenThat's part of the mod options.
>>573714275That is merely a claim.
>>573714275>Do you think a daemon would do something like that? Tell lies just to manipulate someone?
>>573714219It wasn't enough until Abbadon did a funny thing to Cadia and amped up the number of psykers in the galaxy.>his force ghost can just rock up to each chaos god's warp palace and beat the shit out of them without contestHe does in fact do this to Nurgle, problem is it's difficult for him to focus his will at this point, going by Robutt's meeting with him, E Money is practically schizophrenic after all this time

>>573706889>??If you mean the maturation jibe, its' because "corrupted sister" is almost always shorthand for "I want a slaaneshi slutty nun". It's boring, it's old, it's overdone.I've posted before that if I HAD to do Slaaneshi Sisters, I'd lean into the sensation of religion; the soaring notes of the choirs, the smell of the incense, the awe as she looks on cathedral architecture, how good it feels to grovel before the altar and beg forgiveness for your unworthy, sinful self, drawing attention to you, you, you.But no. We get either Castle Anthrax or a dommy mommy strict headmistress flexing the cane as you enter her office. Dull. And, therefore, not particularly Slaaneshi, ironically.
>>573715596>>573715743>>573715861Simply epic.
>>573712467exactly. just like how all magic in warhammer fantasy comes from the realm of chaos, and tzeentch
>ogryn bombResets hordes instantly>ogryn rockSnipes specials, turns off mutants from a distance>ogryn box???
I really wish we'd get Sisters of Battle or maybe an Eldar.But the latter is rather improbable since there's no reason for an alien to come to Atoma.

>>573714653>E Money is practically schizophrenic after all this timeOr more accurately that specific ‘shard’ of him is, since his mind and being seem to be manifesting as separate beings that embody different qualities of himself (or something), the one on the Golden throne is naturally a mess
>>573716445NOOOOOOOO
>>573716443
>>573716313She basically exists to give the Tau a win condition in the setting. If they manage to take over the galaxy, then T'au'va will be strong enough to destroy chaos and the tyranid hive mind.

>>573716273You can fabricate any number of justifications that an eldar of all things would want to come to atoma for.There could be a webway portal on atoma, there could be some relic from the days of the old eldar empire on atoma, there could be some sort of bullshit premonition one of their seers had that says they need to carry out some convoluted scheme on atoma like everything else they do.
>>573716270The box staggers everything, including bosses, to allow for a cheeky revive in the middle of melee hell (gunner hell is still death).

>>573716443the galaxy is rightful eldar clay you mud-wallowing mon'keigh
>>573716273The eldar are already in orbit according to darktide lore autists on youtube.
In Darktide which class should you start with?
>>573714219>If that was the case then the emperor should be so psychically superpowered from almost an entire galaxy worth of constant worship for ten thousand years that his force ghost can just rock up to each chaos god's warp palace and beat the shit out of them without contest.That's why they had to nerf him by having him attached to the golden throne for 10 000 years. Because he absolutely could.
>>573716680>If they manage to take over the galaxyThat's like saying "if lichtenstein manage to take over europe", the tau empire is microscopic.It's bullshit they even manage to stay alive as it is.
>>573716771>including bossesI didn't know this.
>>573716914Havoc ranks 26-29. That's the "shitter trench" because anyone who just wanted the unlockable sets of armors quit at rank 25 and anyone who's actually good at the game will make it to rank 30+, where the game mode gets significantly more difficult.
>>573716952Zealot is the best to learn the game right.
>just had a game where me and a hive scum carried 2 guys who couldn't survive 5 seconds in melee (in heresy)>me and the hive scum had about the same skill level I'd say but he had havoc forged and I never went above auricAre havocs thaaaat hard?
>>573712330sisters are a bad idea not because the class is stupid but because zealot is on its last legs already
>>573717101It's microscopic now, but keep in mind that the Tau have an inexplicable ability to advance their technology super fucking fast, so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility if they start getting DaoT tier technology. We know nothing will ever happen anyway, GW likes status quo.
>>573716952Zealot or psyker.Vet will make you eat shit too often and Ogryn will teach you bad habits. It really doesn't matter that much though.
>>573717101>liechtensteinULM TIME
>>573717475sistahs would make millions of dollars for farto
>>573717656but they already captured the transexual audience with skitarii
>>573717330>>573717517I would have thought Veteran would be your basic soldier type of class to learn the game and easier than Zealot since with that you focus on melee more? At least it seems to me that way
>>573717476>GW likes status quoPeople always say this like primarch wank and primaris shit didn't happen. It would be objectively better if GW didn't progress the nulore.
>>573716952Veto the DLC classes except maybe skitarii. Skitarius should be fine for a newer player to start the game with, but it might be a bit complex, and you might run into unexpected changes when the swedes return from vacation and unfuck the problems it currently has.Veto ogryn, teaches bad habits.Zealot is forgiving but forces you to learn the melee.
>>573717881It did happen and it hasn't changed anything in like ten fucking years
>>573717745the transgender appetite is a endless. an appetide, if you will.
>>573717752>Zealot since with that you focus on melee more?That's the point. Melee is strictly mandatory. You must learn it in order to survive, let alone be effective. There are precious few builds that can afford to basically never pull out their melee, and even those need to know how to move in melee.
>>573717752>I would have thought Veteran would be your basic soldier type of classHe is, that's the problem. Darktide is a melee game with shooter elements, when people learn the game on a ranged class they are unprepared for higher difficulties where shooting everything isn't an option.
>>573717101so? the imperium only covers less than a percent of a percent of the planets in the galaxy and yet...
>>573716952From my own personal experience, zealot is the smoothest because it makes you do melee as your main thing, and the game is a horde melee game with shooter elements, if you can't melee you die every 5 seconds on heresyBut I'd say overall it'd be veteran, when I came back to the game after a 2 year break I relearned it on veteran because it helps with one key skill, killing specials, so you learn to do bothKill specials, manage horde, kill specials, manage hordeZealot has a lot of get out of jail tools as well so you can end up a zealot in damnation getting raped to death every 2 minutes and crutching on your talents, I'd do veteran personally
>>573717881truthnuke
>>573718218>>573716952Oh yeah on another note, definetly not psyker. Psyker plays a different game with juggling your warp meter for high warp bonuses but also not blowing yourself up, it also has dick all for toughness regen and toughness damage resistance depending on your difficulty and weaponry, essentially it's weird
>>573718218Zealot is the easiest to learn but Veteran is the best for learning how to play well. Because as Veteran you're pretty squishy unless you also know how to use your combat ability well, while mastering both melee&ranged combat as both are elementary as Vet.
>chudfully kills specials for me as I melee the horde>chudfully kills specials for me as I lay on the floor dying>chudfully revives teammates from afar>chudfully automates the hacking minigames while my team runs around like headless chickensHow am I to play without HIM...

>>573718709>unless you also know how to use your combat ability well>spam shout every time it's off cooldownwow that was hard
>>573718898When you think about it the servo skull is a key part of the skittaris identity, the skull is basically the skittis metaphorical penis. What kind of person would remove their penis?
>>573719204That is technically knowing how to use it well.

>>573719481Hmmm
>>573719284I mean I like my penis but it's not that big... Sorry, penis. If it meant having a skull buddy, it wouldn't be that bad of a trade.
>>573719481Kek
>>573710845>>573712948>No stats, scores or anything.Fatshark caved to some carebears who bitched about toxicity regarding scoreboards and performance shaming. You're right that it is retarded, but the silver lining is that it has cut down a bit on "circle chasing" retards. Scoreboards are useful for gauging your performance, but the data only goes so far. You can play in ways that pads your scoreboard values a shit ton but are actually detrimental to the team overall. A simple example is spamming grenades at all of the harmless poxwalker waves to pad the everloving fuck out of your damage stat, but you're a detriment to the team because you've been soaking up all of the grenade supplies and now nobody has any fucking grenades to deal with the hazardous mixed horde/patrol that slammed you in a sour part of the map. That behavior still happens to an extent but it's not as widespread as it was in ratclick.you can install third party mods to add in scoreboards. It was particularly humorous how a ton of players thought that the skitarii servo skull was useless in combat and not worth talent investment, and then people started posting scoreboards where the fucking skull by itself did more damage than some low skill players.
>>573719481
>>573718350>it also has dick all for toughness regenRestore 15% toughness over 3 seconds for inhaling. Exhaling restores 2.5% toughness instantly.Restore 10% toughness over 4 seconds for blinking.Replenish 4% toughness for each beat of your heart.Replenish 7.5% toughness on swallowing your saliva.
>>573719873>breathing>blinking>heartbeat>swallowingAnon I don't know how to tell you this but um...
>>573719706Counterintuitively there's a ton of penances in the game that encourage you to play like a retard to the detriment of your team. And all the penances and even talents that only trigger when YOU get the kill and not your teammates even if they're in coherency.
>>573719873>restore toughness on killing things with warp moves (oh look, melee is not a warp move, just learn how to deal with hordes by... using a staff)>replenish toughness on generating peril... oh melee doesn't do that ummm well....>Ok I legitimately forgot about this one, I play staff psyker, that one's alright>just play specifically a crit builtRe-read my whole post and compare these to what I said
So how am I supposed to know which weapons and talents are even good in Darktide really
>>573719995I chuckled.
>>573720232>>just play specifically a crit builtThat's called "a good psyker build" dumbass, they all build crit.
>>573720404The internet unironicallyFor weapons you can try them in the psykanium and see if they're shit at killing and have retarded movesets or not

>>573720404Testing, testing, and more testing. First in the psykhanium, then in real missions.I highly recommend the creature spawner, healthbars (mostly for the psykhanium), and solo play mods to improve your testing.

>>573721243>>573721430oh crap was inexorable judgement a shitty meme this entire time
>>573721657It's less powerful than martyrdom and it doesn't give a teamwide buff like blazing piety.
>>573697743>It's kinda weird and makes me think that the Skitarii was not balanced around Heresy, but rather Auric or perhaps even HavocNo fucking shit. It's what all of the playtesters have said since havoc was a thing.Everything is balanced around havoc now. Yes, even ogryn.Ogryn just sucks entirely because it is designed to have bad damage output due to being tanky as fuck, having 3 wounds and 300 health while also being able to apply 80% skullcrusher, 40% brittleness onto everything. While also being able to apply 10% damage and 15% damage just by hitting things and staggering them. He also has taunt which lets him apply another 20% damage onto everything.
>>573721657Inexorable judgement is fine if you don't like the low health martyrdom playstyle.
>>573722053While true, they are both the "we have scum at home" keystones.
>>573717881>People always say this like primarch wank and primaris shit didn't happen.It happened, and nothing came of it.The Imperium is still a dystopian, dying shithole where you get servitorized at the drop of a hat.

>>573711512>I believe they will make dual wielding SoB's gimmickThey already did this with hive scum. Dual wielding is their gimmick.
>>573721993When talking about the ogryn it's important to specify "melee", "looger" or "meta" because the difference between them is gigantic.
>>573712235>recoil will snap your joints if you hold a bolt pistolHow do any our characters then not have our arms snap at our joints when none of them are wearing power armor?
So 3-6 months until we find out if the weapons datamine was real or not?
>>573721657No, it's completely fine. Martyrdom is a confused keystone that is worse at making use of the wound related talents right above it than the other two, which then leaves you a choice between juicing up your crits or consistently mproving your breakpoints.
>>573722825Because they hold it in their right hand, dummy
>>573708795It basically does the same job as a flamethrower without the infinite cleave but with added suppression

They just want to whine.
>>573722836The datamine is real, it just doesn't mean anything because most of this stuff is ancient, and just because sven fucked around with it doesn't mean we're getting jack shit. It's just jewtubers milking pointless hype.
>>573719481I mean, that really depends on the Magos/Tech Proest, some of them don’t get a choice>>573716273There are plenty of ways that could happen actually, the story just needs to progress enough
>>573720010>Scum talents that trigger when you get the kill>But not when your chem toxin stacks get the kill :^)I don't hate Sweden enough.
>>573722872btw I'm also trans
>>573722894>with added suppressionFlamethrower leftclick has absurd suppression and stagger values
>>573712330>powered weapons like halberd/neural whipJust give it to zealot?>blessed weapons aka saltzpyre wp holy weapon effectsAgain, just give this to zealot? Also there are no specific "holy weapons" in 40k anyway.Anything that counts as a "holy weapon" is just a relic blade, which exists already.>meltagunsGive it to vet or zealot or both>inferno pistolAgain can just give this to zealot or give it to hive scum. They are maniac drug addicts who like to destroy shit, perfectly suited for them.
>>573722886Ah silly me.
>>573723210wow if you just give everything to the existing characters it wouldn't make a new one different. what a fucking revelation.what if instead of space marines they just gave the gene-therapy and power armor to the veteran?what if your mother and father never met? I like that hypothetical the most I think.
>>573717101They manage to stay alive because the big dogs are busy with bigger problems, this is pretty explicit, if the Imperium dropped everything it was doing and dedicated a full crusade to destroying the Tau they would be eradicated in short order >>573717476They’re also already fragmenting and dividing though, their AI is potentially a threat and their greatest hero hates them, they’ve done pretty well but they have a long way to go at this rate
>>573716940That is one badass drawing>>573722479True, but that’s probably for the best honestly
>>573722825didn't you hear? we beat space marines, our bodies are their own power armor
>>573722717Loogers have as a standard been pretty shitty always. Even in the early days in 2023 october the original PBB did fuck load of damage but it was mainly boss damage and hordes. Also the fuck ass long cooldown tamed the damage numbers.Now PBB got buffed to have 60s cooldown and it is genuinely broken.Looger builds, especially the rumbler is going to get neutered and made entirely irrelevant because Fatshark is not going to allow ogryn to do like 3 million damage just by spamming grenades.The September update coming this year will be harsh for ogryn.
>>573723210>Also there are no specific "holy weapons" in 40k anyway.People (NIGGERS!!!! as I like to call them, because they make me seethe) really do not understand that unlike fantasy, there is no "good guy magic" in 40kMagic swords are for chaos, the imperium does not have a direct analog for a lot of magical things because then chaos would have nothingJust a pet peeve of mine is all, I also hate it but it's the reality of it
>>573719873>>573720232Psyker toughness issues get fixed the moment that you get a force sword with the "block ranged attacks" blessing and the "you block with peril instead of stamina" talents.>Oh no I completely fucked up and I'm stuck out here completely out of position with no toughness>I'm just going to hold block to stop all of the bullets and melee attacks>this causes me to build peril, which causes me to gain toughness>over time I lose peril, which causes me to gain toughness>oh gee willikers would you look at that? I've got enough toughness to regain my footing and go back on the offensive again :D
>>573723123Actually it depends on the source of chem toxin. No I won't tell you which one(s) work(s) because I don't know.
>>573723606Wasn't saying Tau winning is a sure thing or that they don't have problems, T'au'va is just a win condition for them, like Nids eating everything, or Chaos plunging the galaxy into the warp, or the Emperor taking a walk, stuff like that.
>>573723764But how does this help a new player learn the game exactly
>>573723582>wow if you just give everything to the existing characters it wouldn't make a new one different.And sisters wouldn't be any different from zealot. They'd just be a human melee class.At best they make it a tanky human melee class, which at that point you just recreated arbites.We don't need this.
>>573723721yeah celestine is essentially a psyker channeling the warp. everybody knows this. shut the fuck up you pedantic faggot you know what I mean when I say holy weapon I mean channeling the warp through some glowy golden weapon that sears the fuck out of the nurgle faggots.consider killing yourself you umm acktually fecundite
>>573723864>the elves win condition is for all of them to die
>>573724035>when I say holy weapon I mean channeling the warp through some glowy golden weaponOk so just a force sword? We already have 2 kinds of this shit too.
>>573724035>I mean channeling the warp through some glowy golden weapon that sears the fuck out of the nurgle faggots.We have that, it's for the psyker, retard
>>573723917>if you take everything that makes the new thing special away it makes them redundantreally on a roll today einsteinstay with me here, what if you didn't do that though?and as a follow up, how would you feel if you didin't have breakfast today?
>>573724093But after they die, their god of death is born finally and all of the dead eldar are resurrected.Also there's implications that this would also revive the eldar's dead gods. Like Asuryan.
>sisters would be special because they'd have bolters and flamethrowers and power weapons and they'd use their faith in battleYeah, the zealot
>>573723917Sisters could be the human heavy weapons class. Heavy bolter, heavy flamer, multimelta, and the power armour to let them carry it. Gunlugger but cuter.
>>573723808>You've cleaved through a vanguard with a critical bonesaw attack that killed both an adjacent rager and a poxwalker that was afflicted by needle gun mk2 alt fire>he has chem toxin stacks from the bonesaw, from the coated weapon crit, from from the exploding poxwalker, and the splash damage talent>the vanguard dies to a chem toxin proc. Does it proc your skills?>bjork bjork bjork
>>573723721There are weapons that can specifically actually kill daemons instead of just banishing them back to the warp.
>>573724327Nothing about sister of battle is fucking special.It'd just be a tanky melee retard class with some religious theme to it. We don't need this, it's just shit.
>literally incapable of conceiving of a world where you don't give new weapons and systems that don't currently exist in the game to the existing charactersgood lord what are they putting in the water these days
>>573724569Do you mean the athame blades (chaos knives) or the emperor's sword (chaos blade powered by the emperor's chaos instead of the chaos gods) ?There really are not, the only kind of magic sword the good guys have are force swords, even the grey knights just use special force weapons (special because they are power and force swords at the same time), weapons that do weird shit are all warp artefacts (a.k.a chaos minus the emperor's personal shit since he's his own chaos god pretty much)
>>573724439Just give all of those to ogryn. The class needs more melee and ranged weapons.We don't need sisters for this either.
>>573724419A female zealot.
>open /copeg/>they're having the sisters discussion againthis is a lot of effort to preemptively self-own on a class you know is coming
So, you guys hear about coop games?
>>573724737You don't need to make an entirely new character to make those weapons.It's pointless extra work.>systemsWhat systems? "Fart at an enemy and gein 5% toughness"? Wow.A cherub? Wow, you just made the servoskull, again.
they should add a terminator but make it play identically to deathwing and not darktide just for the lulz
>>573725003The next class is a psyker replacement.Every DLC class up till this point is just an OG class with a twist.Arbites = OgrynHive Scum = ZealotSkitarii = VeteranNext one will be a psyker rip off, and they'll do this because they will use it as an excuse to make new force staves which can be shared with the original psyker class, but you only get access to those if you buy the 12$ DLC.The Swedes are jewish enough to do this, you know it too.
>>573725068what if they did make a new character to use those weapons?what if they added a new system to make the new character different from the existing ones?what if they could sell this work, say for $10 or so and make a bit more cash for the studio?what do you think would happen if they did those things?what would've happened if your mother didn't drink while you were in utero?
The 3 things the sisters are known for are aura-like effects, fudging rolls (miracle dice) and using a lot of fireThey could go all in on using fire I guess, if they made sistersBut for auras and buffs what's even left? We have stationary buffs, we have veteran shout, we have chorus
Honestly they should add a new class that just punches heretics because there's no power fist or power brass knuckle brawler class as is
Sister this, weapons that. How about a new game mode topped off with another ogryn nerf
the next class will be a catachan and it'll be based around lasguns and combat knives, screencap this
>>573725350I wouldn't even care about un petite kebab if it meant I could get new weapons.
The next class will be a spire noble on safari.
>>573725550they should add a spire noble whose power armor is just Moze's mech from Borderlands 3, you turn on your ability and then based on which one you picked you get superpowers for a short time. One of them is punching.
>>573725350>psyker replacementif you think they're ever going to put perilous combustion or psykinetic's aura on a DLC class you're out of your goddamn mind>Arbites = Ogryn>Hive Scum = Zealot>Skitarii = Veteranlol
>>573725809>>573725820no such thing as coincidence spire noble is next
>>573723197Right, I was thinking about ranges way beyond flamethrower range.I think the braced autogun has never been a great weapon.It got indirectly nerfed way back by the change to scab ragers where everything except their head was made carapace.Now it got indirectly nerfed again by adding the shield guys into every horde.So now it's even worse at the only thing it used to be somewhat good at, which is rapidly chewing through a trash horde at close rangeI hope fatshark takes another look at this weapon at some point.I'd love to see something like inverse spread where the weapon becomes more accurate the longer you fire it to really lean into the light machine gun aspect.And maybe some new damage blessings that you can actually activate beyond close range.
>>573725809>>573725820all me btw
press F to activate rape mode
>>573726001So a genestealer
I don't think I'll ever play shitvoc because of the ammo thingI don't play a horde game to conserve ammo
>>573726070>erm you can't play as a genestealer because the veteran could get forklift certified pull his cock out and you can't do it if the veteran could do it
i dont like shield guys kinda hate shield guys can i get a refund on shield guys?
>>573726185Actuallybeit you can't play as a genestealer because they are kill on sight
>about to clear h40>last ritual on the map pops and insta crashes all 4 players, leading to a lossgenuinely how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>573725809I said this first months ago.
>>573726620Sorry for your loss.
>>573726620I had my winstreak ended by a crash and we didn't even have rituals
yeah whatever daemon>waves my funny little charm at you
I want new arbites cosmetics...
>>573725941I would prefer it if fatshark didn't waste their VERY limited time on non-40k weapons and instead gave us a chainweapon rework.
>>573725913The sub trees will look something like a trophy hunter, aristocrat and thrill seeker. There will be four personalities with each corresponding to one of these archetypes and two for the aristocrat archetype, one "nice" but condescending and one antagonistic and condescending (they will all be condescending). In-game events will begin alluding to the involvement of spire nobles in the warband some time towards the end of August, they will also begin including Brahms overseeing more missions (no new maps of course) as the lead in and point of contact for enterprising spire nobles joining the warband. Unique weapons will be high tech and include ornate skins for those weapons that already exist, they will include a cherub companion as a selectable blitz for the class with deluxe cosmetics available for it.I invoke Apollo's Curse.
>>573695797>>573696339I still think the charged Thunder Hammer should, upon being stopped by a non-ogryn-sized enemy, instakill that enemy and send them flying like a bowling ball, dealing high damage to any other enemies they touch. It would give the Thammer a thematically appropriate form of hordeclearing without compromising its single target power, it wouldn't any more overpowered than something like the Force Greatsword as it performs a similar role, and it's cool as heck
>>573726149That's what makes it good though. Tide games become more fun the less ranged spam there is.>b- but psyker!I only accept scriers greatsword chads.
>>573725809https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0edLLXFBoc
>>573724569Sure but there's nothing 'holy' about them, it's all about their impact on the warpThe Emperor is functionally identical to the Eldar gods - living weapons created by the minds of extremely powerful psykers. Just the Eldar made a dozen instead of just one, due to the scope of the war in heaven necessitating such work. These created a bunch of permanent daemon-slaying blades, but chaos gods can (and do) permanently kill daemons, for example khorne permanently killed the bloodthirsters who attacked the imperial palace and only killed 3000 custodesIt's essentially just 'powerful enough warp entity can create a weapon that permakills daemons'For a specific example, during the fall of the eldar, they created a blade using the echo of the death of the universe to try and shiv slaanesh in the crib. it didn't kill the bitch but it did wound it bad enough that the priests were able to survive meeting a chaos god face to face as it fled. This was then passed down as a daemon-slaying weapon used by various eldar
>>573727453>erm it's not techincally holy unless it comes from the hole region of franceI thought I told you to shut the fuck up you pedantic bitch, when you see some tart wreathed in golden flame with a fucking halo setting heretics aflame through the strength of her conviction holy is an appropriate descriptor even if it is really an illusion of the warp
>>573727925He is not me thoe
>>573723864Fair, but she would have to be hitting a lot harder for that to be feasible>>573724390More than that, it would free up the full potential of their psychic abilities, so resurrection would be trivial>>573725809Make it a Spyrer hunter and sure
>>573727453>they created a blade using the echo of the death of the universeReminded of this fucking dude, Emperor turned him into a sword which Abaddon is now running around with, but that is a daemon weapon. There's also the Apollonian Spear and the Dionysian Spear as other examples as magic weapons that aren't just daemons bound into objects.
It's weird to me that they have an enemy named 'mutant' and they all look identical. Mutants would probably have been better as an enemy type like this classic art, while the guy we got in game now would be a Zerker from necromunda
>>573727337>dealing high damage to any other enemies they touchI'm not sure you really want the Swedish implementation of this. What if it just gibbed the enemy and had a little AoE instead?
Shitter trench really is a dps checkAs soon as I switched to pbb ogryn, I no longer need a psyker or meme crutches in my team. All I need is survivalist aura.
>>573728397Not every chaos weapon is a bound demon either, the 2 spears are weapons made by the emperor so they're just his brand of warp shit in this case
>>573727337I would be happy if the unpowered thunder hammer just felt as satisfying as the ratclick great hammer
>>573728512>nurgle mutantThat's just a nurgle corrupted beastman.
>>573727453>>573725941>>573724805It is technically ‘holy’ though because that’s what everyone believes it to be. Everyone gave it that quality. Subconscious imprinting on this stuff gave it its power over Chaos. That’s how Echlesiarchy priests and Living Saints can outright do things like purge and purify supplies tainted by Nurgle’s disease by reciting some shit and praying. It isn’t *technically* that, and yet it is.
The Weapon Question is part of why fantasy is cooler than 40kBlessed magical grail knights with magic sword sis cooler than geneseed techchuds with battery-powered swords
How many of those penances restricted to private games are there?
>>573729076There's like 10 or 20 living saints in the galaxy, don't use words like that and "everyone" together
>>573725550>>573725350The next class will be a biomancy psyker muscle wizard
>>573727023>ability icon shows clearly a BOOK>ability in game is just you pulling out the 40k equivalent of a cross and yelling "power of Christ compels you!"It just annoys me. Give me the grimdark bible to wave around damn it.
>>573725850>if you think they're ever going to put perilous combustion or psykinetic's aura on a DLC classYeah, they will. It's a DLC class, they are meant to be horribly OP.
>>573729105Hard disagree and I usually stand for fantasy first, 40k is not lacking for cool weaponsThe only leg-up fantasy has in that regard is having THE warhammer which 40k doesn't
>75/80 flamer servo penanceAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Anyone wanna do some Auric Mortis or Expeditions since I can't be bothered to do them with randoms anymore because they just run off to fuck knows where and get downed? Or some penance stuff, I still need some private game stuff done. Also, how the fuck do I form a strike team in this shit?
>>573729105*shrug* both have their appeal
>>573730564You do >>573704583I'd offer to join but I'm high as a kite and it's late and I should sleep
>>573729105>battery-powered swordsBattery-powered swords that never actually run out of charge since they actually secretly siphon energy directly from hell but everyone forgot because of 10,000 years of byzantine techno-rituals. Sounds pretty cool to me, idk.
Hm, I think I should decline all knife retards.And that includes flame psykers who equip knives.Such a reliable shitter indicator it's unbelievable.
>>573730798Cheers anon, I'm too wasted to take in information without it being spoonfed atm.Mortis, Expeditions or penance stuff. Come one, come all (three).5325822849
>>573707589I sadly burnt myself out on valheim because my friends are build autists, and I mean HEAVY build autists. I know you'll need like some small form of building autism but we legit spent 80 hours getting tar for a super castle that then just lagged the server and halted progress for over 100 hours of gametime.Doesn't help that they will never ever fix combat on slopes and no game with third person melee combat will ever have good sloped ground combat, a heavy detriment I'd say when your world is randomly generated and prone to random bumps everywhere.
>>57372910540k would be cooler if it stuck with the imperium being full retard warrior monks with the tech but no means to make new stuff, only to refurbish, kind of like how in the witcher, the witcher mutations are actually from a sci fi world but all the means have been lost. 40k makes the regular imperial guard sloppa too prominent
>>573711421>The only other thing I can think of is the jump packs, but there is no way in hell Fatshark is putting an ability like that in this janky ass game full of death pits.I would pay full price for double melee bolter bitch with a jump pack (it's a copy/paste reskin of slayer).
>>573731663It's hard to compete with>GRIMNIIIIIIIIIIIR *dies*
>>573731663Just give the jump ability to a beastman class.Makes more sense there.
next class is cold trader
>>573731663Jump packs are never, ever happening because back space on the models are reserved for non-functional cosmetics
>>573719119>>573718898I WANT to play him but no one accepts me into their groups unless I play zealot or hive scum and if I go skit myself it legit takes over 30 minutes sometimes to form a havoc. Of course if I feel for auric I just play whatever.
>>573731640>thing would be cooler if it catered to my tastes instead of yours
>>573732184Extra opportunity to sell functioning cosmetics.
>>573732375No
Guardsmentide
>>573718898>Got too used to just tagging to simply kill things as I got about my business>Play other classes, muscle memory betrays meRight right, I need to actually shoot them now.
>>573729105Nah 40ks is about equally as cool, stuff like DaoT tech is hard to beat >>573729254I mean yeah but it’s not limited to just them like I said
>>573731640Techno-barbarian settings are cool af but they're hard to do well. Things like endless legend and some starwars stories (of all things) scratch that itch really well.
>>573733118>commissar is a special>if you don't shoot them they shoot the guardsmen and increase their fire rate
>>573733118Astra militarum commander class who presses F to spawn in guardsman bots out of the monster closets
>>573732363>thing would be cooler if it catered to my tastes instead of yours
hmm yes this psyker build sounds interesting
>fatshart the makes of braptidewhy call it that
>>573733118chaos hub would be based, the inevitable city was the coolest faction hub in AoR
>>573734136So what's the build look like anyway? I'm curious to see if it's a smigger
>>573734136I've been spending too much time on 4chan because my first thought was "this is nigger behaviour" and I'm not even racist.
>>573735104Spend more time here and your psychic racism field will grow larger
>>573734136lmfao
>>573731640Is this not what it is? Doesn't the admech get all of its tech from salvaging shit the empire comes across?
>>573736821Cawl and nuhammer fucked shit up. [Pepperidge farms remembers and other bitter remarks go here]
>>573733823>spawns 30 conscripts>they all die in one hit but for about 5 seconds it's hell in a cell
>>573735104>and I'm not even racist.why?
Does revive speed on curios affect the servo skull revives?
>>573736821Correct. The vast majority of the empire doesn’t want to innovate because they believe everything they need already exists. This is only seemingly recently about to change with Guilliman giving the ok to Cawl to start reverse engineering Necron tech which could have wide sweeping consequences if he actually even partially succeeds.
>>573735104I don't hate niggers because of the color of their skin. I hate them because of how they act. I'm not racist, I just hate niggers.
ok
>>573736821They look for STC printouts, which are blueprints of tech humanity used to have, but lost. They still have the facilities and knowledge to make and maintain most of their technology, but shit gets lost and rediscovered all the time.Cawl's considered a radical and is a hair's breadth from being declared a heretek for engaging in this ridiculous notion called "research" and "innovation" as we all know that knowledge stems from the machine god and it's our holy quest to go find it.
I hate the mourningstar, I hate having to load everytime I want to change operative.
>>573737354Pretty sure if the Salvation Doctrine node affects it, then so do curio perks.

>>573737653They want you to look at other people's cosmetics and have more time to interact with the cosmetic store. In vt2 the lobby worked fine, had hotkeys for everything.. good thing we have mods for 90% of the time at least
>>573737791Not bad, I'd have ditched True Aim and specced into Scrier's Gaze rather than Telekine Shield though
>>573731419Do any of you even play anymore or do you get your dopamine from shitposting?Private game penances, help pl0x. I'll return the favour and help you with your penances in return.5325822849
My friend asked me if I used an auto-ping mod (I am). I reflexively lied and denied it. Now I feel ashamed.
It's time for an Eldar character
>>573738147I do indeed play the game, just not those parts of it.
>>573738742You also lied about it to us. We've figured it out immediately though. Why are you like this?
>>573738147>sci-fantasyI suppose it is sci-fantasy if you foolishly believe that the warp gods are real "divine" beings and not just natural psychic phenomena. But to me it is sci-fi.>inb4 elvesThey're just aliens
>>573738742Look on the bright side. Every incessant ping you make from this point forward will quietly remind him that you're a lying queer.
NIGGEEEEEEEEEEER MY TEAMMATE JUST SHOVED A POXBURSTER AT ME AND KILLED ME NIGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
>>573739278I will do it again.
>>573739278By saying the N-word, you're becoming as bad as them...
Do you guys have any fun dog clips?
>>573736821they USED to but as the first reppey said, with 8th edition and g*illiman's return they were like "actually, cawl had thousands of marines in cryostasis for 10,000 years and he was slowly tinkering with the genome and improved the marines AND their guns and mass produced 10s of thousands of new armour suits and weapons for them to use and they're way better than what they had before"it's extremely gay
>>573717330zealot is too tanky you don't even need to think about blocking or dodging until auric>>573717752veteran shoots too much there isn't enough ammo in the game to support such a playstyleif you wanna learn to play do pure melee psyker
>>573729586Not a single fucking DLC class has gotten access to gold toughness. Every single one of them has had meta blessings on their unique weapons come prenerfed.
>>573740073It's just an excuse to sell new plastic and that's all that matters
>>5737403174th time is the charm... :d

>>573741501sorry, mistypedmeant to say I would NOT buy
>>573739935this but with an arbitrator in the bg
>>573741726
is there anywhere that makes players tunnel vision on just killing hordes instead of progressing harder than enclavum barross when you have to grab the batteries
the transblades seem worse than my arc maul at killing crushers... should I have chordclaw together with them?
>>573742317Yeah, the chordclaw is your anti-armor and anti-monstrosity option, the transblades are for finessing things to death for capacitance generation. That said they work incredibly well with electrocution on critical and the nodes that ping off of that.
I am so fucking triggered that no DLC class has any cosmetics from Hestias blessings, havocs and expeditions like the base classes. I hate fart shart so much for this.
>>573741726>>573741840Maybe not my best work but here.
>>573742835Here's an alt, not sure which is funnier.

>>573742835>>573742981damn I was making one too
>>573739047The fantasy part probably comes from the fact that large parts of the imperium still use mundane, old and regular tech. You have massively powerful machine guns around and then you have guys running around with regular spears and swords. Not many other sci fi settings like that.

>>573743261>MANDATED EDICT: MAULING!
Is there some way to speed this up that I'm missing? The arc grenade one is easier than this.
>>573742317The blades are worse 1v1, but they cleave through carapace so you can kill a hyperstack of them in parallel.
>>573744309use claw and don't stop clawing
Do enemies ever attack or interact with the cyber dog in any way? I know the packmaster allegedly has its own anti-dog moves but for everyone else it seems weird that they'd just ignore a rape machine running around the battlefield.
>>573744521Ah, is that a fast one then? I was saving claw for last since it was what I planned on using regardless of penances.

>>573751906>Warp storms have cut us offFrom what I understand this planet is in the solar sector so it shouldn't be too much of an issue even with the rift.
>>573751906>Warp storms have cut us offno
>>573754038>it shouldn't be too much of an issue even with the rift.It is, because even before the rift your average warp storm could delay ships by months, years or even centuries, assuming they manage to arrive at all. It's like expecting oceanic vessels to sail accurately through a hurricane, but the hurricane is full of flying sharks and the waves the wind was kicking up were capable of making you time travel, but also turned off your navigation systems so you have no idea where you're going or where you even came from.
Is Desperado Scum good?? double SMG
>>573754339>through a hurricaneWhat I meant is that the hurricane is further ahead. This is not in the dark zone.
>>573754717The hurricane is the storm, the rift itself would be comparable to a super cell covering 20% of the planet's surface. Normal warp storms still occur in the galaxy regardless of the rift, more often even.
>>573754903What I circled in red is around the area darktide takes place from what I understand. The black area on the top and right half of the map are more or less cutoff, but for the yellow areas travel is still very much possible.Did I get it all wrong?
>Veteran replaced by Skitarii>Ogryn replaced by Arbiter>Zealot replaced by Hive Scum >Psyker replaced by ???A Blank?
>>573755561That'd be pretty neat.
>>573754519I'm sure someone will tell you it sucks or whatever but I like it
what should the 4th personalities for veteran, zealot, and psyker be
>>573755715only unisex classes get a fourth
>>573755641Plus there are different types of blanks, so that sorts out the specs
>Aurics are piss easy>Havocs are unbelievably sweaty. Require 3 people who know what they are doing and the 1 retard not to be on an incorrectly build aura class.I've been grinding VT2 at this point but man that game is dead in my region.
>>573755336No you're right, it's nigh impossible outside of dramatic license to fly through the rift. However, the warp storm centered on Atoma, which is a separate phenomenon from the rift, still makes warp travel into or around it similarly dangerous or impossible since it has the same tendency to dim, warp or block out the light of the astronomican as well as exacerbating the temporal disturbances common to warp travel (ships can be dumped out far later than they were supposed to, and in some cases before they even left) and making Gellar fields more prone to failure causing daemons to board the ship and leave everyone gaping.Like I said, before the rift, warp storms still happened all the time and would cut off small sections of the galaxy, the rift is just a really big one of those, but it doesn't stop the smaller ones from happening throughout the rest of the galaxy. For all narrative intents and purposes, Atoma is cut off from the wider galaxy so Fatshark doesn't have to justify why a space marine chapter doesn't just come in and crush all resistance in a week.
>>573756238There is also no reason to play havoc unless you want to sweat though. I much prefer a game where you have a casual mode, a mode most play (auric) then a mega sweat mode than what I get from SM2 or HD2.SM2 had no hard mode, they just make it more tedious with higher HP enemies. And HD2 doesn't even do that, to the point where 99% of people play D10 because its so easy.
>>573755336Not him but you're getting the mega eye of terror mixed up with warp stormsThose just happen at random sometimes in random locations
>>573756238I've been doing a lot of malice and heresy runs leveling all the dlc characters and having a lot of fun just with teamwork, if your fun is from challenges try to stick to auric maelstorms then? Since havoc is too much
>>573755715This >>573756104But as a fun exercise:Veteran should have a Fatalist type too old for this shit, well... veteran.Zealot should have a naive pious choir boy personality.Psyker, well the current personalities are scum, touched in the head, police. I'd like an actual wise wizard.
>>573754038The other guy already explained it but it’s the entire reason why we’re so undermanned in the first place and resorting to the use of rejects. The storms are detrimental for reinforcements.>>573754118Yes. Mostly, at least.

How does one build hive scum shivs?Someone on reddit implied it was crit + bleed but it's shit
>>573758864I cant even get it to work, when I target someone the skull doesn't even go to heal them
>>573760134You have to press yoru grenedu button. This isn't explained anywhere.
>>573760343No wonder everyone was looking at me like a retard when I kept spamming ping.
>>573755336>circled areaConsidering that Sabatine is a Nurgle planet I guess it fits. Maybe a bit further down but that's just nitpicking at that point.
>>573748573That talent has been the same since launch. Their only survivability buff since launch was losing 10% dr and gaining dodge linger for ranged. >>573748064They tank via dodges. Most people can't dodge.
>>573748064DodgetanksYou feel invulnerable because you live in a perpetual state of i-frames and infinite stamina and dodge regen, it's actually quite hard to expend all your dodges into the negatives.But you have almost no real DR that will save you from a massive blunder so you will get nuked the moment you DO fuck up bad enough.
>>573759573Riptose and Uncanny StrikeScum already can apply toxin, no need for bleed.
I haven't played much ogryn but what exactly is their fuckin downside lol. Tanky as shit, damage as shit, grenade as shit. Do 4 ogryns just curbstomp the game?
Ok just hit heresy with hive scum and... I don't knowMy shivs don't seem to do as much damage as people imply they do, my horde clear is... okay, my only answer to crushers is 2 rockets and I'm not vet... I'm starting to think this class is overhypedIs a poison-focused build better-feeling?
>>573761570build issue
>>573759573My toxin build is pretty retarded so far, but I'm not to havoc yet. Needle pistol is rinsing the main difficulties fucking hard. And it's also counter-intuitive because I found le full drugs man toxic grenade + chemical dependence are pretty shit for it. And also ranged damage nodes are worthless so you pretty much dump all of your points into melee, res, and poison nodes.I just started making a vulture build but I feel like this one would be better at higher levels when you're killing specials by the dozen.
>>573761570>I have been playing this class for a few hours and have no idea what I'm doing but I believe it is bad
>>573761658I could see that, I'm not level 30 yet after all>>573761769Okay but this isn't psyker 2, there are no unique mechanics hereI'm doing what I do with everybody else and I don't feel particularily strong, yes my run speed is fast and that's epic sure, but skitarii with arc maul mogged the game from level 1
>>573761271Big target, harder to dodge from trappers or even snipers. Got buffed a couple of times to his dodge, staggering non specials and elites, and recently 50% damage reduction while dodging. More recent buffs are BLO ability buffs to enabling rumbler even stronger. Most people don't know to how slide and dodging to negate gunners, so they eat shit on higher difficulty and larping me Toonking.

>>573761271wtf
>>573758743>>573758879>>573759020now I kinda wanna see this for shits and giggles
>>573762572Dodge in Darktide don't give you i-frame, it breaks enemy attack tracking on you and negate a bit of their (melee) attack hitbox.
>>573762904I have swooced through too many crusher hammers to believe that
>>573762904Being able to ignore crusher overheads with 0 dodges remaining nudges would like to have a word with you.
>>573710845Been loving the game by the way. I installed the scoreboard mod and so far I've got not complaints.I'm pretty sure my build sucks and the weapon I'm using is not optimal but I'm loving the shit out of the chainsaw swords. Especially the 2 handed one.
Is it just me, or did melee combat feel better in Ratclick 2 over Darktide? I love the shooting but I hear in the higher difficulties the game may as well just be melee only
>>573762904>negate a bit of their (melee) attack hitbox.Yes, iframes.There's a big hurtbox that gets iframed and a small one that doesn't.
>>573760960>>573761426
ogryn players are the most oppressed people
>queue random auric>YOU HAVE FAILED THE EMPEROR!
>>573763854You have to pull your melee out to protect yourself because your teammates usually won't do it outside of havoc. Pure shooting is hard to keep up because the game will literally spawn poxxers behind you to pull you out of ranged combat, and ammo scarcity is its own issue.

>>573761570>My shivs don't seem to do as much damage as people imply they do,I was where you were a few days ago. The shivs are a kind of dependent on your build and your blessings to kick ass. They lean real hard on precognition/uncanny strike to give you some firepower against heavier stuff, and you don't have those blessings maxed out while leveling up.I haven't reached 30 yet, but I started having better luck and felt comfortable moving up to damnation once I started using the bonesaw with a bit of the adrenaline keystone. However, once I have all of my talent points, I can see myself swapping over the shivs. Right now I'm basically using bone saw and the needle pistol while trying to limp off of desperado to magnify my effective ammo pool to let me shoot all of the important things. I'm using the +ammo aura while leveling. I've basically just been using my stim as a cooldown booster for desperado. Boom bringer is used if shit gets too overwhelmed. I wager my build is largely going to change once I finish reaching 30. Boom bringer and the needle pistol will probably stay but my aura, keystone, ability, and melee might change.
>>573764461I just want a guy in fine clothes with a huge moustache and a grimdark elephant gun
>>573755561It would be funny if they added some random class and made him a blank who doesn't know he's a blank. So everyone just hates on him for no apparent reason. If you have a psyker she'll just crash out on him out of nowhere.
>>573762114>>573762345I remember in the early days before release when people thought that chaos wastes was the prototype for darktide and that the main game mode would be us delving deep into the hive on "40k wastes" expeditions. Apparently some retarded suit thought that it would be better for the maps to share a bunch of setpieces so that we could recognize the landmarks and say "hey, I remember that. What a small world!" despite that being the OPPOSITE of what they should be making players feel in a FUCKING HIVE.
>>573762131You have some utility nodes that could be trimmed for more raw damage or survivability.I use something like this for my relic/chorus/martrydom buildHubris is a swing node pair that can be slapped elsewhere. The 10% attack speed nodes are nice, but relic blade likes mixing in its heavy attacks so I find it loses a little practical effectiveness to invest more into it than martyrdom already provides
>>573764669I thought them recycling the big maps in different configurations was how they would pump out like 6-8 missions every year.haha...
>>573764495>I've basically just been using my stim as a cooldown booster for desperado.Try out attack speed for the bonesaw and pair it with Hyper-Violence, Swift Endurance, Sweet Spot and stamina curios. If you also get the tox nodes on the right hand side of the tree like Coated Weaponry, Splash Damage and Toxic Renewal, you can do some pretty ridiculous shit with that thing.
>>573764996That's how many maps a studio that works 365 days a year would would pump out. But this is sweden, so they work ~60 days a year.
>>573764996They can't sell maps because they promised, but they can sell classes and cosmetics. I don't think anyone would mind if they broke the promise and started selling campaign expansions, it would be better than dead game modes.

I wish that we had a chaos wastes mode for shopclick, but it just wouldn't fucking work with this game's shit balance. So many weapons just fall completely apart if they don't have the important blessings. Starting with grey weapons and getting random upgrades would never work here.

>>573770472I can't stand ogryns. At least 98% of them. They attract the reddit chungus mentality players. They always fucking fully max out their fucking height meter to make them bighuge, and they tend to have zero fucking awareness regarding their size and positioning, often completely blocking line of sight and shooting lanes for their team. I'd be perfectly happy if I never had an ogryn in my team ever again. It would be worth not having them around with the 2% of ogryn players that know what they're doing.
>>573773193>They always fucking fully max out their fucking height meterthis does nothing btw, go in and try it some time, the height hardly changes at each end of the spectrum

>>573773484>I thought russians were super duper skilled autistic lone wolveswho told you this. That's the chinks using VPN's. Russians are always shit regardless of game
>>573773403Every time I come back to this game I instinctively avoid friendly fire like it's going to give me terminal cancer, look up online if there is friendly fire, read that there is not, and have to ween myself into being ok with putting a few bullets into the back of my teammates head because that's an allowance this game is balanced around.
>>573773484>I thought russians were super duper skilled autistic lone wolvesThen you know literally nothing about russians
>>573773461It's not completely worthless. It's a subpar room clearing blitz, but it still clears a room. If you bring it it's kind of a last resort thing to use since it's normally preferable for teammates with stronger blitzes to clear the room.
>>573773639>but it still clears a roomyeah, of poxwalkers. And not very fast
>>573773603I've just been getting pissed off leveling DLC classes and being stuck in low level difficulties. I'll see a fire bomber in the distance getting ready to throw, pull out my gun, aim it at him, then big chungus fucking clips through my back and blocks my shot. Normally they're doing something stupid like perma-pushing poxwalkers or some shit. At least at damnation and beyond the reddit chungus ogryns get filtered and the only ones left are the ones that actually know what they're doing.
>>573773428Flamer skull sucks as a blitz but it can be worth a nade use. Just have to make sure you're managing them properly (basically only using them if your up shit creek in a swarm with a few dead teammates). It's saved a few of my runs in such circumstances.It's at least debatable if it's worth a skill point. You just straight up don't have a nade if you don't take it and that's a bit of a curse.
I would consider the flame skull if it would stick to my shoulder in directional fire mode, spouting flame at what I'm looking at.And, of course, spent capacitance instead of blitz charges. Could be more than what noosy costs. Would seriously make me think whether I want to be a special sniper or horde melter in any given build.
I FUCKING LOVE CHORDCLAW
>>573773723It will kill ragers and such too, and it's more clear than no room clearing blitz at all. It's a low investment option to add to a build. The bigger problem is how buggy it is to rez someone because the retarded swedes used dumbass consolenigger context sensitivity for which skull gets used instead of dedicated activation buttons.
>>573773193>They attract the reddit chungus mentality players.Stop playing in Heresy then.
>>573773791Thought that was a berserker broad with her tits out from the thumbnail.
When will fatshark grow a pair and make a tide game with chaos protags? Stop being such flaming pussies you swedish faggots. Stop being such inexcusable pansy ass niggers. Make a nurgle game where I'm upgrading my cum spewer so his left testical is infested with a virus that turns my enemies into literally-bloodthirsty lunatics and makes their back flesh melt away. It's right there in front of your faces and you won't do it you cuck cowards.
>>573773912I'm leveling a new character and the swedes won't let me queue for damnation yet.
I noticed people were dealin kinda fast with Crushers in Auric now, I'm considering taking the frag grenades honestly is it a bad idea?
>>573773769You don't have a nade anyway. Fatshark is so retarded. >make Psyker bubble but horrible>make Arbites mine but horrible >"YEAH... That ought to do it." I want to know how these two things weren't at the top of every tester's complaints. It's a problem of their own making, too. No one forced them to use other classes shit. The moment they decided on that, they completely fucked the Blitzes since they could never be as good as the thing they cribbed from, otherwise everyone would bitch. I don't see how they can buff either of them in a meaningful way. Just accept that the Skitarii will never have a grenade and use the Medicae skull to save runs. I got 12 saves/rescued in one match with it yesterday. If Fatshark had a brain, they'd nerf that fucker but I know they won't. A single point for the strongest support tool in the entire game by a wide margin.
>>573773791I need to figure out how to juice its damaged. I noticed there's a massive drop off once you hit Auric and Havoc. Bosses just have too much health, and PO is basically a requirement so you can at least use it five times. Maybe I am just missing something (no one uses Brittleness on Auric, so I just have to accept that), but I don't think I am.
>>573773774>flame skull acts like the Doom Eternal shoulder flamethroweruhwhy doesn't it Kronk?
Skit voices need to be louder
My grenade is a ranged revive so I don't have to "clutch it" as the broccoliheads call it
>>573772158>I don't know how anyone thinks skitarii is a vet replacement when skit's best build is basically just arbitrator but betterSkitarii is clearly meant to function as a shooty class, it's the reason why there are so many ranged related talents.The issue is that the swedes are dumb at balancing and can't figure out how to balance ranged combat at all.Just remember thisWhat the class's meta/strongest build is =/= as to what the class is actually designed to be or designed to play.Ogryn is a good example of this, he is clearly meant to be a melee tank class with emphasis on stagger and crowd control, but currently ogryn's objectively strongest build, is you playing as a discount pipe Demo from TF2.
>>573774391We just do(n't) know.
>>573774094nah shredders are cool, probably my favourite vet nade
Good'n'shhhnuffed
'tari is clearly built to be the lightning and electricity class
>>573774448>=/=Yup. And Scum was obviously meant to be a close range brrrrrt and drug dealer, not a better Zealot.
>>573774094Shredders used to be the #1 pick before Fatshark increased the Ogryn spam. Now that they have toned that down and cut down Bulwarks immensely, I can't imagine why Shredders wouldn't be #1 again. The Skitarii will deal with the Crushers, and someone else will deal with the Bulwarks that appear every now and then.
>>573774861>xe makes "won't someone else do it" buildsYike
>>573772158You are dancing around a problem. The Skitarii can either be the Arbi (but better), or the Zealot (but better), and theoretically a Veteran companion. The Veteran benefits from Skitarii, and the Skitarii benefits from Vet. They synergize extremely well. >>573774448They don't want to. Ranged combat was never supposed to be your main means of combat in this game. The guns are just there to deal with things that aren't in VT2. Otherwise they want you using your melee. That should be obvious. Especially when you're playing a match with thousands of enemies and something like 90% of them are melee only.
>3 flame staff psykers in Auric QuickplayNo...
picked exterminator for my clankussy waifu
>>573775428Good pick, the other female voice is Reddit tier
>>573773484all the good ones died already, you're playing with disabled people
>>573774945Not everyone plays Heresy or is friendless. Rewind the tape to before Skitarii came out. A Crusher gang shows up, and you have a Veteran on your team, and he had Kraks. What is that guy going to do? You and I both know he is going to throw them at the Crushers because the game mechanically makes not doing that an active decision by that player to sandbag. Just like if you saw a Zealot with a Flamer. What's that Zealot going to do? Arbie with a dog? Psyker with a Bubble? Anything else is just an argument about how good the player is at the game. You can infer what that guy intends to do just by looking at any of the three major elements of their build.
>>573775428>>573775469Is exterminator the dukane one?
>>573775557>defending xer "won't someone else do it" buildsOh no...
>>573775563No, look at >>573752998
>>573774848Scum was a clore range dodge class. Not just exclusively melee or ranged.You were meant to play the class like an actual crackhead where you shank 2 motherfuckers once, shank 1 motherfucker twice, kill a 3rd with your gangbanger uzis and then your rockit lawnchair to kill anything left, and then inject yourself with more heroine-crack-meth and go repeat the process.
>>573774160Your anger clouds your judgement, nigger.
>>573775563No, but yes because you're thinking of the slav accent voice
>>573775252>They don't want to. Ranged combat was never supposed to be your main means of combat in this game.Gun builds are perfectly viable pre-havoc. Havoc is built as "we have minmaxers who aren't satisfied with max difficulty so just shit more and more enemies at them so they can optimize to their heart's content" and low ammo happens to be part of the formula they chose for that. "Never" is just incorrect.
>>573776295>close range dodge class. Not just exclusively melee or ranged.Also to add to this since I forgot.This was what Zealot actually used to be. Like go back to the launch of the game it is exactly how Zealot actually played. I remember when THE meta for zealot was combat knife + revolver, which played exactly like Scum plays now.Zealot just lost this identity when Fatshark reworked rest of the classes in the Bound by Duty update, and then completely neutered Zealot's damage output.Which was mainly due to people using all of the CDR nodes on zealot, which let you spam FotF constantly and let you have like 100% uptime on the attackspeed from it. Which was only a problem because none of these retard swedes thought to think>"you know, maybe we SHOULDNT give a class access to 3 different CDR nodes, and none of them are mutually exclusive"Also big issue as to why zealot feels neutered now is because they obviously have powercrept the hell out of the game, but because Havoc exists, and only viable role zealot has in havoc is being a piss toughness stagger bot.
>>573776424>Don't believe your lying eyes. Fatshark are not worth defending. They made one Blitz copy the Psyker and the other copy the Arbitrator. Both are far worse than the original ability/blitz, and they won't do anything to make you seriously consider taking either over the Skull. Ironically, their tinkering might just make the skull better because people want the Purg node to do more damage. Just live with it not having a real grenade until they come back and inevitably swing their dicks around hoping that someone likes what they see.
Did they add new cutscenes and missions to the main campaign? I haven't replayed it since launch really and all this seems a bit different.
>>573777024That one in particular was for the Twins mission.A while after that, they added cutscenes for missions you complete through the "special assignments" tab.
>>573774094If you're taking frag grenades I recommend fully committing by grabbing every grenade talent and a bolt pistol with lethal prox.Each frag is like twice as effective when you double throw them due to how DoT damage stacks, so it makes sense to have 4 in reserve and throw them into the middle of huge mixed hordes with the extra radius for maximum value.
>>573776978Shits fun to play bro. And Arbitrator and Psyker are still fun to play, and when I have either on my team the last thought on my mind is "Ohhh nooo I got a worse X on my team". You are tripping.
>>573776750The reason why havoc has low ammo is because the entire gamemode is centered and balanced around at OP unbalanced things.Like piss toughness, infinite cleave, brittleness spam, DoT spam, Skullcrusher spam, etc. Same goes for all the weapons, like the boltgun, plasma gun, exterminator shotguns, power sword, relic blade, flame staff, flamer, etc. they are only balanced in havoc.The devs however are retarded and never realized as to WHY people keep only using the same fucking shit like boltgun and plasma gun even in auric.It's because those weapons DONT SUCK DICK. They actually have good ammo economy while having actually good damage.Like people would 100% take shit like the vigilant autoguns and use them even in havoc if they just buffed the fucking damage on them.Literally just give the vigilants like double damage and you would instantly make the guns actually usable.
>>573776750Name one that doesn't use the Recon or the Rumbler. Even Damnation is not gun build friendly because it's still 2,000~ enemies to kill most of the time. The only way you get around that is by sucking up most of the ammo. Rumbler and Recon don't, so they're the only two viable weapons I'd consider a player could take due to the fact that if you ran around with a build focusing on any of the autoguns, and another guy did the same thing, neither of you will have enough ammo. No one is fighting against their own team to use melee. You will absolutely fight against your team for ammo excepting the Rumbler and Recon as your main weapon choice.
>Oh I love tox gas!And the eyes lighting up in the green cloud is kino
>>573777414>Name onePsyker
>>573777235You can't read. I am saying that the Skitarii blitzes are shittier versions of things those classes bring to the table. Except for the skull. The bubble is just a much worse Psyker bubble. The shock grenade is a much worse shock mine.
>>573776776it wasnt fotf spam, it was stealth spam
>>573777671What this guy said. Stealth spam was a problem say one. Particularly because Fatshark didn't do anything to fix the bug that let you drop right back into it after attacking from Stealth for like, what, 5 months? Knife Zealot running ahead and getting the rest of his team killed was a half of these threads for well over a year.
>>573777671It was both of them.FotF attackspeed basically had 100% up time with unnerfed Invocation of Doom, and you could spam the actual ult like every 10 seconds.Same goes for stealth too. Stealth did retarded amounts of damage and used to make zealot retardedly tanky as well, a fucking stealth zigger used to be TANKIER THAN OGRYN, it was insane. And you had sanic speed to go with it. AND you could spam the ult like every 10 seconds.However another big reason for stealth nerfs was it was used by game griefing retards who would intentionally run like 3 rooms ahead of you, aggro everything, spawn 1-3 bosses, and then just use stealth to aggro dump everything onto their team mates as they just jack off in the corner.
Martyrdom zealot, thunder hammer, dueling sword, or relic sword?
>>573778039spamming fotf didnt really do anything because your weapons were trashy back then, so it was just okay; it was like wow 20% extra attack speed on your cadre of shitty weapons, now theyre just okay rather being ehh, compared to perma stealth
>>573778256relikino sword
>>573778039Axe wielding Zealots made me want to throw myself off a bridge simply because of how horribly boring they made matches. Knife Zealots made me wish I could blow up people's heads from a distance like in Scanners. I almost feel bad for them being neglected as bad as the Ogryn, but then I remember how the class facilitated making the game worse to play for twoish years and I have no tears to spare them.
*runs pass u and every mob in stealth sending a pack of NIGGERS straight to your location*sorry??? ping ping ping ping ping hurry up!
>>573778608*quits out of the game after watching you die*
I remember when stealth zealot could literally wake up a daemonhost and then dump it on the team lmao
Why the fuck is the arc rifle allowed to exist
>>573778256Dueling sword is perfectly fine no matter what you're doing. Good with Thrust if you're doing stealth. Not much to add, it's just a good weapon, it just struggles with horde clear unless you also take the bleed talents in the bottom left. Might be different with Martyrdom, I've never used it with that.Relic blade is the superior pick over the thammer in every scenario, you just need to commit block cancel -> sprint stab to muscle memory so you can force it on a stealth backstab and instagib bosses. Mark is personal preference really, X is easiest to use. Quick reminder that RB's autistic minmax is 64% dump, 76% heat management, because heat hits a breakpoint that does not improve your heat management by going to 80.
>>573778727Because the admech are MEGABASED
>>573743607You have elves, orcs and dwarves in the setting. That alone makes it at least fantasy-adjacent to normies.
>>573778727GW mandate
>>573778685I think the most insane part of that whole time was Fatshark's "solution" to the problem was to add more airlocks to each map.
>>573778727I don't find it particularly strong and I haven't seen anyone do well with it.The only reason I carry it is to deal with the shield niggers since it bypasses the shield.
>>573778946Did those swedes really add vanguard just to shill skit?
>>573778869Pretty sure this is also in large part due to RETARDS constantly spreading out to hoover up 10-20 plasteel in opposite corners of the map, then complaining about MUH RUSHING, so they needed a way to literally force players together else the tardlets fail to keep up because they're getting lost even in linear maps.
>>573779121No it was because of retards playing the game like it's gran turismo
>>573779121>hoover up 10-20 plasteelMeanwhile I'll "rush" and still gather more than the rest of the team combined

>>573779501There's 5 of those which one do i click?
>>573740317scum is OP arbitrator is braindead easy impossible to die for entry level difficulties and skitarii can just walk forward holding left click on the arc rifle all the way through auric. and that's before we even consider the fact that skitarii don't have to do the fucking minigames or revive players in person
>>573739047the fantasy comes from the tech itself which is largely incompatible with physics. just because something is set in the future doesn't mean it's science fiction. science fiction attempts to ground itself in reality with some speculation, fantasy just makes up whatever it wants. the spaceflight methods, augmetics, all the warp and psyker related stuff, it's all fantasy.
>>57372910540k has both though. You have battery powered swords that are empowered by faith and perform miracles
>>573762114>procedural generationYes that was the plan, semi-randomly arranging handcrafted chunks of the maps like lego blocks every game. Unfortunately, fatshark is unable to follow through on their vision. The same thing happened with weapon customization, both ranged (scopes, flashlight, RoF) and melee (movesets and such) which got turned into the weapons mark system.It could have been glorious but alas.
>>573697743>Arc Rifles can't become truly effective on Damnation, functionally any Autogun is better.I leveled my arc rifle while pushing my skitarius through damnation tier yesterday and every single game I had double the damage and kills of everyone else unless there was another arc rifle skitarius there. in which case we both split like 70% of the team's damage and kills. maybe it does get relatively more powerful but it's still the weapon I'd pick over any other even in damnation

>>573731640It quite literally still by and large is that
>>573727453I wouldn’t say it’s something all Warp entities are capable of, it’s just that the Eldar were/are masters of the Warp and understood everything that dwelt within it better than anyone else, including Chaos. Also, their entities were entirely born of the Warp whereas the Emperor derives strength from belief while still being physical, so like this his power is also independent from everyone else as opposed to the Eldar gods who were drastically depowered when a lot of them died or just stopped caring about them.>>573728397The Spear of Telesto too.
