Wtf is up with retards hoarding 1500+ points in siege and not using it. I cant even get the other retard to kick them

Why would you kick someone in siege?

>>2719885
It is pointless cause whoever joins in progress will have 0 points and no blessings either if it is mid wave.

>>2719885
If they hoard and you kick them you get the points

release when? I need to play some sieges before the fucking dark souls boss ruins it

>>2720738
Mid August or September (combined with 15.0 for grand anniversary update)

>>2720738
Q1-3 2027.

did saber fix the bug where you could get doritos for a strategem twice or did I misremember how to do it? I switched to pvp and back again, then exit to main menu and come back, but the checkmark hasn't disappeared.

>>2720738
Spring of 2027 (fall actually)

>>2720750
>>2720755
good, someanon said last thread pts is not going to be updated because saber is going to push the release instead and i was afraid i don't have enough time

I think every bolt weapon in the game should get triple the damage and accuracy, but half as much ammo.

And also make melee good at recovering chp already. It's retarded that it recovers less than ranged.

Oh. Well I guess you can tell by the chest plate now that I look closer. I always assumed that was Horus in that art.
Apparently Abaddon went knotless in a book set between 30k and 40k, but he was a lone drifter not commanding armies of CSMs at the time. So idk why he's letting his shit down in that art where he looks like he's in his prime as a CSM.

Is it true Heavy has hardly changed since release? Many of his perks are either for rp or underwhelming.

As far as I can tell.
His biggest changes are:
>getting melee perks for a melee heavy build, which is a meme
>getting the HBR, which is a meme except in siege
>getting a couple heroic primaries, which range from mid to meme
This new salamander champion's gonna be the first champion set heavy's gotten since literally the first ever champion dlc too.

>>2721392
>which range from mid to meme
isn't heroic plasma the top tier as in actually usable in absolute?

>>2721408
Absolute isn’t hard, you can run anything there. Hard strats are the highest difficulty since they nerf your damage at base, but they’re only hard when you get a set of bad modifiers

>also how hard are hard stratagems?
Depending on the modifiers they range from just normal Absolute with debuffs to the player to near impossible.

According to leddit the devs personally select modifiers for Chaos missions while Tyranid ones go into a roulette.

the official methodology is weeklies are hand crafted and dailies are random but some combos that pop up are so monumentally stupid they literally cannot be created by a human being

Easypeasy this week

>July 15 - Obelisk
Warp Storm - A psychic storm periodically hits
Squad Unity - When you do not maintain close proximity to squad members, armour and contested health restoration are disabled
Sharpshooter - Ranged damage at ranges greater than 10 meters is increased by 75%
>July 22 - Termination
Avenger - Last brother standing temporarily gains a significant increase to attack and defense
Posthumous Proliferation - Slain enemies spawn Spores or Chaos skulls (depending on faction)
Mine Field - Spore mines spawn periodically and travel to players
Fatal Contamination - Corruption and Intoxication cause instant incapacitation, but their build-up takes 50% longer
>July 29 - Ballistic Engine
Strike Out - Gun Strike cannot be used
Hyperopia - Ranged damage at ranges less than 10 metres is reduced by 75%
Sharpshooter - Ranged damage at ranges greater than 10 meters is increased by 75%

>>2721530
its because gay workshop didn't make blood ravens in the tabletop despite them being more popular than any 1st founding legion during the early 2000s-early 2010s
they have decided that they only want the black templars and no one else, beyond them they've shilled the crimson fists and raptors pretty hard too at one point but they always came back to shilling black templars
forgeworld made an ugly dow3 gabriel angelos one instead of his dow1/dow2 version

Ammo or charge speed for relic HPI? I know charge speed has better dps but the total damage difference is pretty significant

can they fix this shit cause I got in-progressed into a Siege (is there a way to disable join-in-progress?) and having 0 points basically meant I was worthless and couldn't buy anything
They didn't buy tech priests either so my economy was just totally bricked

>>2722683
double heroic plasma

>>2721392
>getting the HBR, which is a meme except in siege
unironically the HBR just needs to enable using Argent Edge and that combined with having grenades on the heroic HBR would probably be enough to make it viable on heavy
I'm still gonna maintain, although maybe they would have to add code to enable it since they never planned for it, that your choice of weapons should affect what you get to use.
Bulwark is the only real example as far as I can tell where if you want to used the 2-handed Thunder Hammer you have to sacrifice your shield for it, but I think if you sacrifice using a real heavy weapon on Heavy you should get knife/chainsword and likewise if you use a 1H melee weapon on Assault you should get access to some light primaries like the Bolt Carbine
I know Assault is meant to be a melee-focused class and it should be balanced around that, but I don't see the downside in letting you play ranged like Vanguard has the option to.
Bulwark is the only class I'd deny the ability to have all three weapon slots to and only because of the shield.

Obelisk is much harder now, they added more enemies in the dark section. Wiped twice in that area with randoms and took me three tries overall with me dying once.

we already have a press-q-to-win class for less skilled players

Something is fucking fucked with squad unity on the hard strat. Last run I wasn't getting any shield or chp recovery even with a teammate standing right on top of me holding the relic + squad unity buff icon active armor boost and executes did nothing.

So when's the new update coming

>>2723589
Squad Unity and Split Up have fucked up cHP recovery.

>>2723466
I know. I want another. Give me the ability to project team shields, fire psychic lightning bolts, teleport, and summon reinforcements. Drawback being perils of the warp. Using my powers fills up a meter that goes down over time. When it reaches max I lose health, gain the insanity status effect and can't use anything for a period of time.

>>2723589
One of you has to move out of range then regroup to reset the bug every time it triggers.

>>2723589
yeah same. even with the icon for squad unity displayed the heal did nothing. I think it's bugged

I'm sick and tired of faggots who hoard points in siege mode.

>>2723811
So what you're saying is...nerf tech priests? Gotcha, on the way with patch 14.

I haven't played obelisk for so long i forgot about the "we all stand around the relic and do the spiderman" minigame. fuck off with that shit, i don't need these stupid triangles.

Contested HP is totally fucked but still managed to clear with 4 tries.
Had to go Bulwark and take that 300% faster armor regen banner perk

whats your build/class for max melee damage and range damage?

>>2723960
My Max Melee damage is just shieldbash Bulwark because not only can I animation cancel it, I'm also protected by return fire and small horde swings. Plus I have a resourceless dash.
I still haven't messed with the Wings of Flame Assault fully to try it on hard stratagems.

>can dodge neuro beams 100% of the time with zero issue
>cannot for the life of me dodge a zoan beam
make it fucking stop

>>2725453
Unless you're already trying for perfect dodges, this is probably because zoanthropes will turn to follow you while the beam is going while neuros will lock their direction once they start the beam
So panic-rolling sideways doesn't help against zoans, you have to dodge through them
No idea why they're different, no

>>2725453
they're faster, a zoan's gonna flick it up quickly over a neuro's gradual rise of the beam. like >>2725505 said, get ready to dodge it head on and look for when the zoan's about to flick the beam upwards.

update when

High rarity applies to nearly every weapon except for like the flamer.

>Emperor's Children
Doesn't make sense since all of you died on Istvaan 3 and there are no white haired twink loyalist Space Marines
>Thousand Sons
Outside of Gays Workshop wanting a proto-Blood Ravens origin story there is nothing more keked than fighting for the Imperium who sent everything to purge your chapter and planet (The Emprah only wanted Magnus, every other TSon was going to get Thunder Warrior'd)

Like the IWs and WEs, this actually makes more sense since there's at least 70+ of you who escaped
