it's not so much about enemies but the fact that the classes only have like 1-2 actual builds that are mostly determined by your loadout.
It took Darktide a couple years before they gave each class 3 abilities to choose from.
We already have 3 team passives and signatures but those aren't even nearly as gameplay style changing as Darktide's. At most it's another cooldown to pay attention to.

The Carnifex truly doesn't get enough shit for how bad it is, easily the worst terminus in the game. Yes even worse than the Neurothrope, I'm saying it; at the very least that can be burst down before it ever becomes a problem, and even then it's not too hard to play around it to watch out for when you need to get in its safezone and fight there. The only truly good roaming terminus fight is the Helbrute.
>>/vg/568855542
Chaos Spawn aren't too bad once you get used to mitigating their bullshit, namely not ever allowing yourself to be surrounded by a group of them. The thing that makes Chaos absolutely fucking unbearable to play against for me are the Enlightened Tzaangor. They are the most jank fucking garbage majoris in the entire game, with highly damaging unindicated attacks, weird hitboxes that don't look like they should be hitting you half the time, completely unpredictable movement that makes tracking them a nightmare, and downright broken parryable attacks that can ignore your parry and damage you anyway, or phase through you and do no damage because it's a busted piece of shit.
If they just removed that one enemy the Thousand Sons would be improved tenfold, which I know they will never do because they're not going to toss something they spent dev time on, so at the very least they could bring their health pool down. I mean way down, like barely more than a regular Tzaangor so they can be reliably bodyshot to death. They are WAY too tanky for how evasive they are.

They 100% would have been able to pocket everyone's money if they correctly managed expectations and were upfront about exactly what the voice pack would cover.

cHP rework is going to be a mix of slow passive regeneration, and executions giving X HP back.

There are far better channels that are actually analytical and informative on the deeper workings of the game. Sturm, hoRg, fucking Zekromo who is making 1+ hour long analyses despite having just shy of 200 subs. It annoys me that the lowest common denominator pig swill goyslop that channels like FTG and Yeertski pushes out get so much attention. You can watch an FTG stream and see that he literally makes his videos live and cuts up the VoD into a "build" video afterwards (actually, he probably has an editor do it for him while he's streaming). It's the lowest effort imaginable.

Apothecaries can and do use both of these tools actively on enemies, often to gather genetic material for study while also slaughtering them horror movie style.

I hope it’s apothecary and not chaplain, because I don’t think they’d be able to make its playstyle very distinct from bulwark. An apothecary is at least a lot different from what we have. Though I’d honestly be most interested in an aggressor, but that’s not happening.

>>2529467
both are designed to pierce straight through space marine armor at close range, the primaris variant of the reductor pistol is designed to have dual function as a close range anti armor weapon

I haven't ran Purgation a lot but the dialogue variety during the final elevator sequence where the squad more or less make oaths might be the most varied set of lines in the game, from a cursory glance at least. I wonder how many variations there are.

It appears to be that each class has a set with every other character. So as it stands, with 7 total characters, there's 42 different oaths.

>slowing down time in an area with the Tempormortis and going nuts with the Executioner Blade while everything is hopeless to do anything about it
Sounds kino. They could probably work in some animation cancelling shenanigans with the Tempormortis since that's really what a melee-focused class needs to not feel like complete shit. The one sticking point I can see is the model in the tabletop only having access to his one unique weapon, and GW being sticklers for consistency might not allow his counterpart in the game to use anything else. So if that's the case, Saber would either have to develop a melee-centric class that will only have access to one melee weapon or go with something else.
Then again, most of the other classes are weird amalgamations of units on the tabletop, like the Vanguard at first glance clearly being a Reiver but having some of the wargear of an Infiltrator.

The pyreblaster basically does not work during the last point in Purgation. Doesn't hit any of the minoris without 3 seconds of straight exposure. Also, does anyone have a fix for the plasma pistol dematerialising from your hand and not firing (getting you raped in the process?)

I've been doing normal mode runs just to unlock the weapon skins, starting with Tac since he has the most weapons that overlap with other classes. Plus there's something about blowing away hordes of bugs/daemons before they can do anything about it while blasting bands like Evil Army that tickles my brain.
On Tac (which if not on par with, is at least a close second behind Techmarine when it comes to grinding normal waves 1-5), I've been able to get my time down to somewhere between 5-10 minutes, more-or-less. I haven't exactly timed it but based on where I am in albums I'm listening to by the time I've finished a run I'd say it's within that range. Of course it depends on ideal conditions, like getting Chaos over Tyranids, what blessing I get and how early I'm able to find a pyreblaster canister. You'd be able to get it down even lower with two other players obviously, but who the fuck would want to do something so monotonous?
We'll call it seven and a half minutes on average to complete normal waves 1-5. Times that by a thousand and you of course get 7500 minutes, or ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE FUCKING HOURS.

if you're still below ruthless then whatever you like best, just be sure to have something for thropes in the back pocket
if you're asking for harder difficulties, heavy plasma is way, way stronger if you can use it right (with an easy mode variant that's still pretty strong) but melta isn't bad either
>>
>>2530611
Plasma is more versatile, the Melta is basically a shotgun, and struggles against the biggest enemies. The Heavy Bolter is also great fun
>>
>>2530611
Plasma is probably the strongest in the primary slot, but if you're competent all of them are viable. Except for HBR, it's below average on Tactical who has a bunch of perks centered around getting extra damage out of his weapons

He'd need to do more with the globules than simply having the ability to break his fall to stop himself from crushing them whenever he eats shit. The geneseed is pretty much this vestigial mechanic for anyone who has been playing for an appreciable amount of time; like how many geneseed locations do you know outside of the original six operations? Shit, how many do you know outside of Inferno and Decapitation?

The Apothecary having an incentive to actually seek them out for a reason beyond the XP bonus would give them a use for max level players, even if it is just for one class. Whatever buff it provides to you and/or your teammates shouldn't be too powerful to the point where you'd feel gimped if it ended up spawning in the last possible location, but it should be nice enough to have that you feel compelled to learn where the geneseed can be found in every level.

I remember the time when saying "melta is a shotgun" would have brought autists screeching in rage that "astartes" shotgun is a separate weapon in the universe. Crazy how we used to have resident weirdos that would keep the thread bumped 24/7 even when normal discussion died out

>>
>>2530789
It really was a mistake to make the melta gun a faux-shotgun when Space Marines shotguns exist. Who doesn't like a good shotgun in a horde shooter? The thing is designed to be wielded by an 8ft tall super soldier clad in power armour enhancing his already superhuman strength; imagine the stopping power on that thing.

Sometimes when the chaos portal that spawns enemies completes, nothing comes out and then enemies materialize and destroys your HP.
Sometimes you don't pull the Heroic Plasma pistol out when you swap to it so you can't charge it.
Just baffling bugs.

The plasma pistol one is genuinely annoying, especially if you want to pull off an auspex shot on a big enemy

Carrying a couple brothers who are leveling through prestige for a few matches is what Corax would want from us

I have a feeling he'd want something more along the lines of liberating our home world (sm2g) from the shackles of its tyrannical regime (Saber) through our unconventional warfare tactics (cape ordeal spoofing and maybe a pipe bomb)

Yeah, FTG is in my recs a lot but that's just what the algo rewards. Daily, consistent content irrespective of any actual analytical depth or discourse. I hate myself for continuing to click on his shit but it's the closest thing we got to pre-patch analytics and to bw fair he gets a couple things right. Still, can't fucking help but roll my eyes at every tier list he makes.
>"It's okay x class isn't the wooooorst. Nothing is baaaad and if you wanna play it that's fiiiine. Just, x class needs a little bit of help so pray to Saber."

Fuck off. I ran into this shit way back during Elden Ring youtube shit too. Youwy offered zero fucking discourse aside from "Oh yeah this weapon is god." Or "This weapon'a just shit, sorry not sorry if you like it."
>Those reccomendations.
Knew about Sturm but I'll check out the other two. I like Sturm but I do think he gets a few things wrong in his analytics by going over everything in a vacuum. His Gunstrike vids are top tier but he never ever takes Argent Edge or the Power Axes' backstep.

It's weird that all future Operations we never fight alongside fellow Smurfs again.

It's just IG and AM missions, we sorely need an Operation where we fight alongside actual Smurfs fighting on-screen like in the final missions.

Nobody wants to disrupt the status quo regarding the Emeperor for several important reasons, not the least of which is because his existence is so fragile that any attempt to make any change is liable to delete him from existence.
Then you have the opposite possibility, where his soul becomes untethered and we get The Birth of Slaanesh 2: Golden Apocalypse.

frankly, you didn't try discussing the game there, there were 2-3 sm2 posts per thread and they were ignored both by regulars and other sm2g anons. They were even nice to include SM2 stuff in the OP template.

Saber will never level gate SM2 and they're banning people who complain on their official Discord.

There should be a main option where players can set the minimum level and prestige rank they're willing to play with.

Some classes can play Absolute with just 2-4 prestige perks and the grinding will never end for cosmetics.

They could've gone nuts in ops.
They could've tweaked or expanded on the plot so Acheran calls for help from other chapters, and we could've had operations where we're fighting alongside actually blood angels or actual black templars.
Instead the most we get is off screen radio chatter during reclamation. Took me a couple of runs to even realize that was a fellow space marine talking to you and not another Magos.

Vaultus is ok, but his AI is pretty shitty, and his voice sucks imo. The voice acting in general is a big step down from dawn of war. Blood Ravens make ultramarines sound like larping jeets.

Could've made champions from other warbands or factions end op bosses too.

Tactical are the devs' favorite class

Meanwhile the Sniper has to shoot at little shitters every 15 seconds to recuperate ammo while the Heavy has to MELEE EXECUTE an Extremis enemy just to get one (1) magazine
>>
>>2531699
they didn't want space marine reinforcements because that would make the operation too easy and saber don't want that even though bolters suck
i bet they'll add a terminus boss in purgation in a future update or tweak the terminus spawns in that map to fuck players just grinding and running
>>
>>2531704
>Tactical are the devs' favorite class
Mine also, since it's so busted. Infinite ammo, crapload of damage, triple damage for whole team ability, infinite explosives for whole team, room clear on execution. No defense tho. Kill them before they kill you.
>>
>>2531713
>No defense tho.
3 armour tabs and an AoE melee every 90 seconds, just spam E on every Majoris that doesn't die from a gun.
