Launch it with MMT or the solo mod and find out.
I did that once when the old repair factory mission was taken out of rotation for the same reason and found the first event area was bricked.

Holy fuck. Can someone report this dude to the cops?

>have to level up to 30
You have to level up your weapons anyway, and depending on how you do it it's 50-70 games to get to 30. That is not a grind. You know what the grind is? The cosmetics locked behind the inevitable <do/kill thing a thousand times with specific blitz/ability/aura> and all the other piles of shit that'll make you want to jump off a cliff.

>>527485592
>You have to level up your weapons anyway
No you don't, you can just buy and sacrifice weapons

Wait how did this game work again, does any currency transfer to the new character, do I need to grind?

>>527485758
It's account-wide now. Money you make on your zealot is usable on your pig.

>>527485739
It's tied to rarity of the weapon you're sacrificing, and the weapons are tied to level unlock anyway. You gotta level up the fuck anyway, and they are probably going to hand us one of the four (yeah, it's 4) weapons early on, so are you truly going to burn through a bunch of Plas and Diamantine just to get a couple of weapons to 30 that you were gonna get to 30 just from playing before you actually hit 30?

>>527486012
Anon, most of us here have more currency than we could possibly even dream of using. Of course I'm going to "waste" it by leveling all my shit to max ASAP because I physically can't run out of it.

tips to level up faster
craft the relics and reroll them with 10% experience

Serious question: do americans even have kebabs?

>>527486093
I only have a quarter million of Plas and Diamantine each, so I can't relate. I'd rather just level them up from leveling the class. I'll probably burn some on the final levels of the weapon(s) I don't particularly care for, but that's it.

Beyond that I need to start making considerations for the weapons that are actually good with the class. I'll be damned if I burn all my resources on memes just because someone heard from someone else that they saw a guy do really well with a weapon one time.

Have fat shark said anything about the arbites prologue? Like how will they be introduced?

>>527486334
America is a very big place Anon some immigrant heavy areas might have them but for the most part I would say no. T. Southerner.

>>527486334
Like doner? Yeah, but they are mostly only in actual cities. I've literally only seen one kebab place in my entire life outside of a city. Plenty of Greek places though since there's this chain that markets itself as healthy, Mediterranean food when truthfully it's just garbage and worse, it tastes like shit.

>>527486508

You aren't a Reject and you are getting a new prologue. That's been confirmed. I need to go find that the posts by that one spastic who claimed otherwise over and over to the point he made a collage of posts and tell him to go neck himself, still.

>>527486334
Yes, but you'd have to go to the city or strip malls in the suburbs. Otherwise you get rural/small town slop ala Pizza King

>>527480183

>>527486473
>I only have a quarter million of Plas and Diamantine each, so I can't relate
>I'll be damned if I burn all my resources on memes
Anon, it costs 109 plasteel to consecrate a weapon to green rarity. It takes 25-30 sacrificed green weapons to max out the weapon. That's 3,000 plasteel per weapon, 12,000 plasteel for all four weapons.
Just admit you're not good with numbers and stop posting.

>>527486621

thanks for answers, it's fascinating to see cultural differences in something so minor; like for you a "degenerate fast food you get while wasted out of your mind at 3 AM" is probably a taco (or a burger, unironically)

>>527485305
just level up in sefoni's goon dimension

>>527486473
diamantine is the rarer resource, plasteel you usually cannot burn through fast enough, you end up with stockpiles of this shit

>>527480489
Why does your ogryn look like an Austrian who gave up their artistic career to join the military

fuck me it's been a long time since i leveled up a class
how the fuck do the shitters do it now other than trying to be carried like a sack of shit?

>>527487185
In a lot of places, yeah, but Wawa has been making major expansions in the last 3, 4 years. Because of that, you can get most American fare 24/7 as a result. Only stuff you'll never find open 24/7 is Asian food, actual Mexican food (not Taco Bell), fish places, actual ethnic joints.

>>527488267

Do you consider that a good thing? I tried some stuff from there when I went to New Jersey last summer and it was alright

What fast food joint would you not be surprised to see on the Morningstar?

>>527489179
nice 2010 graphics and 2006 animations
not /coop/ gamu

>>527489324
Taco Bell.

>>527488530
Do the normal board maelstroms for the exp bonuses. If you regularly play aurics you should be able to handle heresy early and damnation around level 15. Especially if you max your weapons before your first match.

>>527489324
Maître Kébabier

They should add longshanks as a class next.

>>527490415
Nah, they die in low-grav.
However, I could possibly see nightsiders.
Or felinids (basically slayer)

Do I have to update for the drip?

>>527488267

>>527490489
>Nah, they die in low-grav.
Well gladly they are on a planet with high gravity then.
:)

They should add sex as a mode next.

>volumetric_fog_quality = "off"

>>527490607
*out side of low grav
I am tired and legally retarded.

>>527490489
Just say their armor contains braced or whatever that lets you walk around planets.
Or even better, just ignore the gravity thing and add them anyway as a proper sniper class.

I just can't go back to vt2, the fucking dumb sprint is such a game changer...

>>527490645

>>527491304
you're never gonna believe this

>>527490790
why would the race whose niche is working in cramped low-gravity space station environments be good at sniping?
If it's about sightlines just give us a skit

>>527490959
I disliked that at the last minute they threw in a temp hp nerf. After all this time, like really? Feels like I need to be double sweaty and double sweaty isn't fun. Especially with many missions being much longer than Darktide's.
Also fuck shieldvermin.

>>527491578
Makes sense they'd tweak the balance for versus

>>527491880
Like at most two loud l4dgger andies are shouting about wanting versus in every game.
No one cares about that shit.
I'm sure the 100 people that tested it and dropped it were worth the dev time.

>>527491236
It'd be fun.
And fatshark can figure it out.
>>527491403

Projecting

If we were to actually get another Abhuman class it should unironically be a Felinid. Some of the few mentions we have of them in lore describe them as absolute killing machines so they’re clearly pretty good.

But that aside, how do you guys feel about the potential for a mount class now that we’re getting companion ones? I imagine it would be difficult to work the geometry of most maps, but I really want to ride around the map on something.

>>527493450
dont you mean projecting andy?

>>527491403
>We were all asuming skitts get arms for their abilities
>When in reality It's actually LEGS

>>527493502
>another pet class for women

>>527493502
ratling mounted on top of an ogryn yes

>>527493502
What I actually want:
A. Imperial combat engineer/sapper (Non-mechanicus engineer). Uses drones. Lays traps, obstacles, mines, etc
B. Special weapons veteran. Uses larger weapons like assault flamers, meltaguns, hellguns, grenade launchers, and stubbers.

>>527493874
No, you're more of a 'retard' than an 'andy'

>>527493502
>But that aside, how do you guys feel about the potential for a mount class
Sounds retardedly cumbersome and horrible to play.

>>527493502
Same disadvantages of being tall while having very few of the advantages of cavalry when you're mostly fighting in short and narrow corridors.

>>527495471
lol monka s!

They could sell orks as a dlc customization and personality option for ogryns.

>>527496154
Bully is basically an ork, they just need green camo

>>527496154
That would clash with the lore. Morrow should sperg out and beat us to death with his raw cock if that happened

>>527493502
If they did add that, I don’t think it could be a horse. Movement would be a mess like you say and so would sight lines probably. Maybe a unique Xenos trainer/hunter that rides around a super mobile alien with none of the hard steering of a horse? I can’t think of anything off the top of my head that really fits that outside of like Drukhari beast masters though so idk

>>527479870
It was removed so they can secretly make it an event map when Arbites drops

>>527495456
>Lays traps, obstacles, mines, etc
With the way they advertise arbites shock mine as 'the first preparatory blitz' it wouldn't surprise me if we saw something like this again.

And no, I'm not tanner

>>527499085
I don't care, it still looks stupid for an arbites to do.

There needs to be a way to tell which of your teammates are Lex-havers.

>>527499170
Yeah, yeah. We know reginald.

>>527499131
That sounds professional, mate just sounds too casual. And judging by how they interact the arbites personalities don't seem to be friendly with each other.

>>527498976
>>527499380
It should've just been "officer".
Lex-mate just sounds fucking stupid, like it genuinely sounds like a term that reddit would come up with.

>>527499578
The the enforcer psycer will probably call the arbites officer the professional vet might as well

>>527479870
I would offer my opinion but I still don't know any of the mission/map names

>>527499578
this guy doesn't have any lex-mates.

>>527500049
Vigil Station Oblivium is the one where you start in the Torrent, scan the dead gang members, take the elevator then go hack the heretics' comms before escaping.

>>527493502
I would actually love a mount you can summon at any time but I don’t think it would be another animal, maybe something like a personal vehicle? A bike even? Does AdMech make those? Regardless, I don’t think it’s very feasible unless you heavily gimp it with a time limit or make it slow or something or it would be stealth knife ziggers all over again times 1000 with people speeding off ahead and leaving the rest of the team in the dust

>>527500636
The only ones who have bikes are the Guard (in older editions), Genestealers, Spess Mehreens and Squats (technically trikes).
Admech have robot horsedogs instead.

I don't know if I can take anymore sleeps.

>>527501414
The sleeps are getting fewer and fewer

>>527498571
>there will be a point where arbites falls out of popularity/meta
>the few times you hear "lex-mate" will actually be a joy
disturbing

>>527493502
Sounds incredibly stupid for a game that primarily takes place in cramped metal hallways
Maybe if they give us a gamemode taking place in the ash wastes outside the hive but then you'd have the problem of an entire class still being locked out of 90% of the game

>>527501414
afterwards youll want to sleep forever

>>527499363

>>527504196
Yes

>>527504196
In that dog's case as the neck looks fleshy, yeah probably.
Arbites also have dogs that are just fully mechanical and the only organic component is some vat grown neurons they flash a copy of angry_well-trained_dog_OS onto. Hope we get something like that.

>>527504537
Yeah, the full robot dog is a hardcase mastiff.

>>527504319
>what other cosmetics will be available for free
They haven't even added red tints for any of the new shits over 2 years.
You're crazy.

>>527504621
Yeah but that's just weapon skins nobody gives a fuck about. I'd imagine people will be mad if arbeetus doesn't come with a handful of cosmetics. There's no way fatshark doesn't know this.

>>527504807
>There's no way fatshark doesn't know this.
Oh...my sweet summer child...

>>527504807
At best we get some penance cosmetics. It makes no sense otherwise.
>>527504621
Yeah, this shit pisses me off too.
Like there's absolute metric fuck tons of cosmetics in the game files, worse part is that many of them show where you get them from. It's the fucking commissary (the place where the traitor turned servitor sells cosmetics) where you just pay with regular ordo dockets.
Good example of this is that one Moebian 53rd helmet for ogryn, there's like red-green recolor of it in the files AND it is labeled that you buy it from the commissary.
But it's not there for some god forsaken reason.

It's fucking jewishness on fatshit's part.

>>527504807

>>527515417
No, enjoy your toilet seats and skinny jeans

>>527515271
XII recon las has cleave, it can shoot through I believe 1 target and hit the one behind. It's very good and relatively ammo efficient if you have enough crit, so zealot loves it and psyker does decently well with it. It's also one of the better horde clear ranged options, not that this is relevant because ranged horde clear is usually stupid.
VIc recon las is the one you want to be using on vet, with 1-2 stamina curios and deadshot. You get stamina through focus target!'s left node. Just don't skip precision strikes. I have pretty good success using that sort of build in aurics, but I can't vouch for havoc 40 because I find being the grenade bitch super boring there.

>>527515562
it's been like three years and I haven't seen anything in the store that I liked, probably because darktide only has dudes in it, and dressing up dudes isn't fun

>>527515675
I don't think he was talking about the recon lasgun

>>527513679
based hot fuzz appreciator

>>527515786
Recon las is the only lasgun that has a mk 12. It's also one that was reworked at one point iirc. I don't think it had cleave before.

>>527515675
Mk XII is the fast laser hose recon las, Mk XIV is the slow cleaving one.

>>527515783
im sorry if you think feedback given during beta would have been listened to and changes made.

>>527515675
>deadshot

>>527515849

Ogryns are big because of the fact they evolved on planets which were prison colonies during the DAoT. And ogryns are the descendants of the prisoners and people stationed there. And we can imagine prisoners do not change in 40 000 years, aka people who are criminals tend to usually be brutal and very violent.
The reason why ogryns are so gigantic and strong is because they evolved in a very brutal "survival of the strongest and violent" environment where being the biggest, toughest and the strongest was advantageus, while smarts weren't as necessary for survival.
Though ogryns still have very honed survival instincts, it's just that they are very single minded and directed mostly towards "fight, eat and sleep".

>Vlc is the worst one in ammo efficiency
Interesting you'd say that, because I spend most of my time shooting shit dead on a build that doesn't even run ammo aura, yet I'm regularly the last one in the team to run out of ammo, and only pick up whatever scraps they leave behind for me. Deadshot + shock trooper carries in the ammo department, and 2 stamina curios + target down equate to nearly infinite stamina if there's enough enemies to tag.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't use survivalist btw. It's definitely vet's best aura, I just didn't have enough points in the meme stealth build I run with this setup.

Exclusion doesn't make sense from a business perspective. If business interests can kneecap the "working conditions" leftists at the same time by poisoning the well, two birds one stone.

>>527519192
The meta weapon for havoc 40 on veteran is whatever melee has uncanny strike to bug abuse frag grenades with. That's your entire job.
Recon las was very good in havoc 1.0 where enemies could have bullet resistance, you would just ammo efficiently burn them with infernus. Enemies no longer have bullet resistance, so it has less of a niche. Still a decent gun.
Plasma is commonly used for its infinite cleave, for when a fuckhuge horde spawns that you can just line up in a corridor and cut in half with 3 shots.
Double barrel shotgun is also viable since you can reload it with the bottom right capstone, build heavily into crit, and similarly infinite cleave through an entire horde, applying bleed in the process. It's more niche however, since it doesn't snipe as well as the other options.

>>527519568

>>527517752
The accatransrights mg mkII heavy laspistol with infernus is the best infantry lasgun you could use.

>>527519568
How does the uncanny bug work? Do I need to get the stacks up then throw the nade or throw it then get stacks up?

>>527520225

>>527520180
>>527519568
It isnt a bug. Uncanny gives rending. Rending is applied to your character and affects everything globally

>>527520385
oh god what the hell is wrong with smokes? are they actaully bugged?

>>527519192
I've had a lot of success running the Meltagun for specials/elites, and power maul for horde clearing and monstrosities

Marksman's Focus is easily the talent in the entire game and it isn't even close. Why would you design a talent around stationary gameplay?

>>527520225
It is, but at the same time that bug shouldn't even exist in the first place.
I do still think using bugs, glitches and exploits is just a sign of a faggot who can't actually play and don't have real skill. So they have to use whatever "underhanded" tactics to get an edge.

I admit I'm a shitter, but at least I'm honest about my skill level.

>>527520664
>Why would you design a talent around stationary gameplay?
because it isn't. people are just bad and crutch on that aspect of it

>>527520664
common misconception, you can move all you want during it. It's functionally just a ramping buff with some leeway for hold your ground events via the movement gimmick

>>527520462
They're just shit.
That's what's wrong with them.

>>527520848
oh. i use them on people doing the minigames

>>527520424
>It isnt a bug.
It functions exactly the way it's programmed, but I cannot imagine it's intended to convey rending to literally everything, especially with how absolutely retarded the damage output of frag grenades is with it.
I'll accept that I'm wrong if there's official word on the interaction being intended, but it really is fucking stupid. Even nerfing the drooling sword would do nothing to stop veterans from topping the scoreboard in havoc if uncanny strike remains untouched, because they'll just swap over to shovel or knife.
In fact, it's not like actual melee performance matters anymore when ogryn just rounds everything up for easy grenade spam, and simultaneously stunlocks most enemies.

>>527520664
because it allows you to stack up while dodging on stuff that won't die easily - monstrosities, mainly.

remember, the keystone itself allows you FULL movement for 3 seconds or se after a weakspot ranged HIT, extended to 6 seconds for a kill.

I unironically run it often, seeing as it gives me ramping up damage at the beginning of the fight, instead of the middle of it.

>>527520943
It's 100% intended, they know how rending works. They're just retarded and dont realize how unbalanced that is. Keep in mind they still dont think DS is too strong, they're merely "open to feedback"

>>527520801
It'd be a ramping buff if shooting at poxies wasn't equivalent to insanity.
You're not going to ramp up the buff fast enough for it to last by doing what guns are made for; killing elites, specials and sometimes bosses.

>>527517752
For a Markman's Focus Vet, the mk IX. It can reach and maintain consistent 1 headshot breakpoints for gunners and most specials (mutant exception naturally, and the hound is at the high end of marksman stacks).
Otherwise the Mk VII
Perks;
Flak/Maniac
Blessings;
Headhunter first.
second,
For the mk VII, Deadly Accurate, Ghost, or Infernus are all fine choices depending on preference.
For the Marksman mkIX build, Opening Salvo so it can reach the breakpoints from a cold start and have Marksman stacks carry it between salvos

>>527521083
It's a ramping buff, and what you're describing is why it shines on fast shooting weps. Also stacking it on gunners or shotgunners or ragers is really not an uncommon occurence

>>527520943
The code for it might work as it should, but it still doesn't "work" as intended.
Uncanny strike's whole point as a blessing on melee is that you're repeatedly striking the head and it's implying you're finding a weakpoint in the armor to do damage.

Having this buff extend to grenades, a thing you throw on the ground to kill many enemies at once, is just really stupid and doesn't make sense.

>>527520508

Brother, it says it gives rending. They know what rending does, they went into detail in patchnotes before. Where they SPECIFICALLY mentioned it interacts with bleed and is meant to.

Hello fellow Darktide players, I really enjoy playing the Commissar class with my trusty plasma pistol and power axe!

>>527521447
>Brother, it says it gives rending.
Retard, I get that it gives rending and I get that fatshark knows how rending fucking works.

My point is that a blessing for a MELEE WEAPON, and a blessing whose design is clearly centered around and meant to imply you being a skilled duelist who exploits weakpoints in your opponent's armor, shouldn't extend to fucking throwable balls of metal than then violently explode.
There's a reason why uncanny strike is also exclusive to melee weapons and does NOT exist on ranged weapons, because it'd be horribly overpowered, and fatshark knows this. That's why they haven't added that blessing to any ranged weapon.

>>527521910
Why is it caked in pink slop anyway

>>527522190
It's sculpting material. If I remember correctly I've heard people call it spackle paste.
Basically you put it on whatever you want, wait for it to dry and harden and then you can sand it to give wha you want a smooth finish.

>>527522064
>I know they intentionally designed it this way

Learn to express yourself properly and stop calling it a bug or unintended

>>527522474
Retarded mongoloid.
It doesn't make sense that a melee weapon blessing extends to a grenade that you throw on the ground.
It's like saying that fucking shattering impact from the bolter should extend to your grenades.

Both ideas are fucking stupid and shouldn't even possible because it makes no sense.

personally i dont like that perks blessings account for so much of a weapons power. they really should only be like 5-10% extra damage total

but that's how it was in ratclick, and it made for a supremely boring and shit """build""" options, everyone ran Swift Slaying or the occasional Opportunist

it's not overtuned, it's the only one that does something, the other ones are virtually useless, and a bait/visual clutter designed to keep you rerolling your weapons when """crafting""" them (same way you can """craft""" your income at a local casino)

Though, I don't mind blessings as a concept.
The big problem is that that 90% of them are useless junk that do nothing and aren't needed.

>>527524837
I was referring to the trees it has, I dont care for overclocks either

>>527524871
iirc Perfect Strike (crits ignore mass from armor?) is good-ish on zealot, due to 100% rending on FoTF, which you can trigger stupidly often
+10% crit dmg is a meme and is barely noticable, but it's consistent if anything if you're running Blazing Piety

>>527525607
Its really old and not good

>>527525369
they very much can, just run the +10% melee crit +25% finesse dmg, you can run any keystone with it. It's good vs most of the enemies, but as a not-zealot you will deal less dmg (due to the lack of bleed-on-crit) vs Monstrosities, so you can run the middle keystone to try and remedy that.

Works with Piss shout, works with exec, works with stealth but don't fucking do it xd.

Breddy fun.

talent, I forgor what it's called
you can find builds on darktide lantern, if you see one that includes said talent and crit blessings on tax it's probably correct with the rest of things, cba to look up one now

>>527525083
Yeah, the problem is that only heavy sword and eviscerator have this on zealot weapons.
Out of which, eviscerator is horde clear weapon mostly, so building it to cleave through elites is stupid.
And also to get most out of the eviscerator you need to run martyrdom to get any worth out of it because you need the attack speed and damage to make the evis good at all. So no blazing piety for you and if you do take BP, then you're just gimping your damage potential with the eviscerator.

For heavy sword it's still kinda "meh", because you have deathblow, which is just bromentum but with a different name. But also heavy sword is mostly best for hordes again and some softer elites like shotgunners and maniac enemies, but carapace is a crap shoot with it anyway.
It's the reason why everyone takes headtaker + deathblow with it, that way you get the most out of the heavy sword.

>>527525729
I'm 33 and got accepted into a 40 but the True Survivor vet fucked up by zooming 3 miles away from the team and died alone for.... reasons?

yup, exactly. Shame.

HS with the blessing goes from 4/10 on vet to 9/10 on zealot, and is a certified banger and a niggermutant slayer.
Love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe.
for second blessing it's headtaker, usually, helps with the hordes, I have mixed feelings about deathblow - I'd rather have some more boss dmg than horde/rager cleave

>>527526501
Well your only real option is death blow or thrust if you want boss damage on heavy sword.
Because rest of the blessings are useless.

Even then I still run deathblow because, it's just bromentum and that shit is always good.
Most of your boss DPS comes from the headtaker anyway because it stacks based on hits, so pairing it with thrust is not good because you can lose your headtaker stacks before you get maximum thrust stacks.
Or you're at least super close to losing them since headtaker stacks last for 3 seconds.

arbites is going to be better with the crusher than zealot is
how does that make you feel, crusherchuds

>>527527770
>very rarely do I not attack for 3 seconds lule
I get your point, but to stack thrust you need to stop and charge the attack for a while to get the 3 stacks. It's still more consistent DPS wise to use deathblow, even for boss damage.

>>527527929
yeah, take the +5% and any other one, really. I run the carapace one, but it doesn't really matter

headtaker or decimator, they're similar imo, both work well

other then that yeah, you're all set, go nuts

I know, I understood; by that I meant that the problem is not Headtaker running out, it's finding the bare necessary few seconds when I can just charge the weapon up and not deal with infinite rager/mauler bullshit thrown at me, usually.

It just feels bad to stop and charge up the weapon, I only run it for Thammer because come on you gotta, and on Bigman shovel for 1shotting the crushers - meme, but it never gets old for me

Unironically the crusher and eviscerator. I use both on my martyrdom build.
I use thrust on my crusher specifically to do more boss damage with FotF.
But you can change thrust out for skullcrusher which works very well too.

My eviscerator is just unyielding + caparace with rampage and shred.

Tacaxe as a whole isn't that great and lags behind other stuff.
Only zealot can really make use of it, and even then it's only really good on like 1 or 2 builds.
As for vet and psyker, yeah you get access to it and you can use them, but you are gonna wish that you were using any other weapon.

Why? What's the point behind this?

>>527545535
>>527546252
Chaos gods have existed since the begining of the universe.
How and why they got there was due to the final battle between the Emperor and Horus which shattered time and space all together and on lookers could see the battle taking many forms, even going as far back as the begining of the univer. Which let the anguish, suffering and Chaotic energy resulting from Siege of Terra be poured out at the very begining of the universe.

Humanity has and always was responsible for the existance of the Chaos Gods, that is undeniable truth and the point of the setting.
Humanity's greatest sin in 40k is its own existance.

>>527546269
>after trying out damnation because you guys said it was easy
It can be pretty easy in execution, but a portion of it is just knowledge. An easy class with a good build goes a long way, for example. I bet you could manage damnation without too much difficulty on a meta ogryn build with an auto clicker.

Most likely part of the chest armor.
Psykers already have 1 cosmetic that has a cape and it is also part of their chest piece.

Helbore should be a hybrid melee weapon like the Grenadier Gauntlet.

>>527549580

>>527548925
i miss it

>>527549873
Slaanesh has always existed within the Warp. Eldar's depravity only "gestated" and "birthed" it into existance. Yes, even before it "existed".
Slaanesh basically influenced the ancient eldar empire to fall into depravity and degeneracy so it'd give birth to it.
Very similiar thing is currently happening in the lore, it's the Greater Good Goddess of the Tau. It is yet to be "born", but it is already influencing events and time to make it so that it is born. One of these events was protecting Shadowsun during her childhood and saving her.

It's Chaos and specifically the Warp, it's inherently paradoxical and contradictatory and it's not meant to make any god damn sense by design. The writers just come up with whatever shit they think is cool.

>>527548331

>>527550460
Yeah, but in that same sense, saying they were birthed by the Horus Heresy conflict doesn’t make much sense either, there’s no real starting point for when Chaos into being, they have and always will be and are described as infinite and all encompassing numerous times, time itself doesn’t matter to them, so there’s no real debate to be had about it

>>527552763
>saying they were birthed by the Horus Heresy conflict doesn’t make much sense either
It does make sense.
Horus Heresy caused the initial seeds to be planted into the originally placid Warp.
During the War in Heaven, the resulting conflict fed power and emotional turmoil into the Warp and started to stir the "seeds" that'd grow up to become Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh.
By the time around humanity's middle age, humanity's own actions and events during the mediaval times awakened Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle, but they were still "placid" and "passive" beings within the Warp.
Then starts humanity's golden age.
Eldar empire's decline into degeneracy started to form massive Warp storms which cut off and isolated all human colonies due Warp travel being impossible, starting the Age of Strife.
Then finally awoke Slaanesh fully only around 11 000-12 000 years ago, which ended the Warp Storms which had isolated humanity during the Age of Strife.

And now we are in the age of the Modern Imperium.

That's great anon. We all play games to have fun.

>>527546881
They changed the war in heaven origin? When?

>>527553681
So it was a group effort. I agree with that. That’s more reasonable than “human is to blame.” Again, they’ve always existed, so splitting hairs about when exactly they came into being is pointless but there were undoubtedly events that strengthened their presence and that came first and foremost in the form the Old Ones weaponizing the Warp.

it sucks with thammer dude. If you're using thrust at least. By the time you get 3 stacks whatever you're trying to hit has already run away

So my friend just started out and there's a penance that needs him to kill Scab Radio Operators. In my 300 hours of playtime I've never heard of or seen the fucking things. Hell, I just taught me about it. What's the trick to getting that penance done (spawn condition, difficulty level, specific mission types or maps, etc.)?

>>527558586
It was when Fatshark did an event where you went around looking for these radio receivers/transmitters and you then "hacked" into the frequency to listen on what the heretics were talking about or planning.
And getting all 3 radios and solving them would then spawn the scab radio operator which would have spawned like gunners onto the map.

The enemy longer spawns because the event is over.

I only ever saw it once because I did the mission only once and the one time it spawned me and my team killed the thing in literally less than 1 second because the enemy was weaker than tissue paper.

No one knows if FS will ever redo the event.

>>527559070
Damn, at least i dont have to look for them anymore. Thanks anon

>>527559461
No worries.

>>527557259
GW has always held an “everything is canon” stance though. It doesn’t make much sense in some cases but the point of it is to allow people the freedom to envision the universe as they want to, which is why it’s always emphasized that nothing is set in stone and anything can be hearsay, lies, propaganda, etc

>>527560081
its the only wea[pon i need to mtastery

>>527559785
Ambiguity and unreliable narrators are well and good though explicitly having an everything is canon stance is canon poison.

Still, they seem to be very successful, likely on account of selling overpriced toys to autists, so I suppose they can afford to be retarded on the lore. And they have one saving grace in Dan Abnett being somewhat competent at least.

>>527560312
You still take thrust, just position better. Shroudfield has three uses, the mild utility of revives and objectives from stealth, abandoning your teammates, and the biggest potential thunderhammer hit against monsters/bosses possible

>>527560535
>having an everything is canon stance is canon poison.
It's been like that ever since 1987 and this was by intention of the old creators like Jes Goodwin and Rick Priestley.

I agree, which is why I said it’s silly and doesn’t work in some instances when we have overwhelming confirmation of certain things being the case and then the opposite position being posited once like a decade ago technically being ‘valid’, but this inconsistency is arguably its greatest strength because of the freedom it allows writers and players

>>527560390
You use it on Zealot because Zealot is the class that makes Knife actually S-tier due to massive melee damage amps and single-target damage

>>527561819
Darktide is centered around both melee and ranged combat. With having big emphasis on ranged combat, that's the reason why 2 melee weapons are never being allowed.

Also it'd result in absolutely busted builds honestly.
Imagine if you could zealot with a dueling sword, which only weakness is sub-par horde clear, and you just take something like the relic blade to cover for hordes? This would just be OP as shit.
And you don't need to worry about any specials or ranged enemies because you still get access to throwing knives because blitzes are baked into the class. Also you are zealot meaning you can just dodge slide every where without taking damage.

>>527562610
what about grenadier gauntlet

>>527560709
Is this why its canon for t'au women to be hot well endowed constantly-lactating hucow women?

>>527562734
Reason for that is unironically because fat tits tau meme started on /tg/ and one drawfag there (sexualyeti) drew a lot of it.
Also he still draws till this day and 90% of his art are tau girls with giant tits.

But there is also that lore snippet which says that Tau are "xeno-bovine" in nature. Which helps people conjure up buxom tau girls.

>>527562685
Grenadier gauntlet is a half assed melee weapon attached to a pocket sniper.
People use the gauntlet isn't because it's a good melee weapon, they use it as a ranged weapon first and foremost because it is good at dealing with specials and gunners.

"Dear Lady, let me express my fulsome appreciation for your most generous gift. It is so very rare to discover another of my own kind that appreciates my work, therefore to find understanding amongst a member of another race is nothing short of a revelation. I realise that you briefly trod my galleries, but the fact that you spotted in so short a time that my Acabrius War collection was lacking three regiments of Catachan warriors reveals that you truly have a collector's eye for detail. And to send five regiments! Such generosity will allow me to weed out and replace a few of the more substandard pieces in my collection. If I might level a minor criticism, the instructions issued to your gift were manifestly not as clear as you thought, as most of them had to be forcibly restrained -- sadly it seems that the lower orders will always behave like an army of invasion, whether that be their purpose or not. However, this is a minor complaint and seems almost churlish under the circumstances, so please allow me to repay your gift with one of my own. Accompanying this message is the Hyperstone Maze, one of a series of Tesseract Labyrinths constructed at the height of the Charnovokh Dynasty.

I never really understood the point of this character, to me the main appeal of Necrons is being uncaring murderbot remnants of a long-dead race, bearing their likeness but having next to nothing in common with actual living beings.

Him chungusing the "relics" (bellybutton lint from under my couch) away to some sooper sekrit tomb to stare at, ad perpetuam, makes (to me) no sense in the grimdarkness of 42nd millenium

maybe I'm just getting it wrong

what the fuck is the difference between the combat axes

>touch a fire
>immolated to death

fuck off, honestly. worse than noita.

>>527572420
Tactical axes are faster but shittier, better at staggering ragers though, with the weapon special.
Normal combat axes with brutal momentum is still at least A-tier for mixed hordes, the rashad being the best variant, but the other variant deals more damage while being slowest.

>>527572158
The sleepy snoozecrons are all boring this one at least gets stuff done. He even shits on his fellow Necron lords because he views his own mission as more valuable than whatever stupid seething about sentient races and warp they get up to.

He is clearly insane and over the top about collecting things without realising it himself but that's his entire charm.

The point of his character is to have a Necron army which can field other races and give another element of doubt to xenos worshippers than just "hes corrupted by chaos".
Necrons would be boring sleep skeletons if they didn't have strong personalities like him because it shows even though they transcended mortality they still have flaws.

>>527569834
>plays shitter difficulty

>>527572420
Rashad has the Finesse stat and a horizontal sweep in its light chain making it the best with brutal momentum light spamming
Antax has Cleave Targets instead of Finesse, which is worse since brutal momentum exists.
Achlys has a horizontal heavy sweep letting it brutal momentum through scab/dreg bruiser heads with ease. Not as fast as just spamming lights on the Rashad, but very satisfying being able to cleave through heads of all horde trash with each swing (shotgunners too with a little help)

>to me the main appeal of Necrons is being uncaring murderbot remnants of a long-dead race
You’re thinking of Oldcrons, who were very much that pretty much. They’re still by and large that actually, but now the important ones are quibbling space aristocrats with different personalities, which is a welcome change since the doom bringing hivemind thing was already being done by the Tyranids and they needed their own schtick.
>no sense in the grimdarkness of 42nd millenium
It makes sense if you look at it from his perspective, which is that without him all the things in his collection would be lost to time and entropy. He’s a kook, but definitely on the lower end of the kook scale.

Trazyn is cool because he’s that unique Necron who accurately ascertains his strengths and weaknesses and knows his role in the grand scheme of things, tends to put a lot of forethought into what he's doing, and legitimately values other cultures (when under his protection at least). At the same time, hes 40k’s biggest narcissist and his goals are 100 percent self absorbed, this is the guy who won a debate with a time traveling rival of his who kept going back in time to change his points and he still won through sheer force of will and intellect. On the softer side, he spent decades waiting around on a planet for one of his bigger treasure hunts, and had a human servant for the time being, one he valued enough to actively inform him their time together was at an end, tell him he's going to die (because the whole planet is about to be attacked) and then give him the closest thing to a humane execution he could manage. He’s a kleptomaniac and he doesn’t really have higher goals other than wanting to preserve a little bit of everything.

Mind you, he still has a very high opinion of himself in typical Necron fashion, but when the vast majority of the race is murderously arrogant, it’s refreshing to see one that’s usually only defensively arrogant.

>>527584925
Yeah, he turned on his cheats purely to grief me.

>>527584925
nah closest you could encounter are the Telopots beta orbiters on the EU server. Mostly slavs with 15yo edy humor from the Kark and Balls discord server using modified mods to spam "vacuum capsule XD" and be bare chest.

>>527585139
Some people got the vacuum capsule mod on here, it isn't even that hard to modify the For The Emperor mod to do it instead of the cheer.

In the first couple weeks people were doing wacky stuff with CE quite often. Like super big ogryns, super small ogryns, and I saw one guy in particular who was hovering mid air and just killing every enemy on the map with each plasmagun shot

>>527585139
the newest tranny mod is the one where they swap an ogryn voice onto their zealot etc
you do it by changing the voicetypes in the character customization menu, you can literally just replace "the loose cannon" with "the bully" and shit like that. But don't ask me for it I don't have or use that shit, I just saw how it works.

Somehow it's alway me and "the one other dude" clearing the map

What will the next enemy be?
Nids?
Necrons?
Slaaneshi Cultists?

>>527587849
Iran

>>527587849
Genestealers are the most likely.
I could see greentide working as well.
No to proper Nids or Necrons as they're all too high in strength (the average low tier can battle a space marine)

>>527587849
Why do you think there will be a next enemy? Arbites is gonna be the last major update.

Stealers or bust. Everything else is probably too much effort. I guess they could introduce another Chaos aligned cult of Khorne or something

>>527589313
Anon, you are severely retarded. Somehow more retarded than Fatshark. They just started building a UE5 team for their next game, that will take 4 years at a minimum. Just like Darktide. Do you know that means? They need a positive revenue stream during that period, and given they are still supporting VT2 (despite it not making any money), dooming about there being no further DT updates is truly just psychosis.

>>527592875
When will you learn english?

>>527592875
>that will take 4 years at a minimum. Just like Darktide.
This is kinda funny to think about. They'll probably announce a new game for 2026 soon

>>527593042
>They'll probably announce a new game for 2026 soon
cool, that means Darktide will finally get updates

>>527592927
Why are you telling on yourself, Rajesh?

>>527592875
Actually this revenue stream will be 1. the sales that already happened, 2. cosmetics (most important) and 3. Arbites and the base game sales.
They won't put any more serious resources into Darktide because they will use them all for their next game.

>>527592875
>>527593042
>>527593103
If we’re just going to get Darktide 2 I would consider that an update technically so still good

>>527593350
>1. the sales that already happened
That money is gone.
>2. cosmetics
Only sustainable as a source of revenue so long as the player base stays healthy. It hasn't been healthy for almost half a year. Finally they are starting to claw back up to 10k average concurrent players after being stuck between 4.5-5.5k since the start of the year. If they stop supporting the game, people stop playing. Just like DRG. People stop playing, no one is buying the slop.
>3. Arbites and the base game sales
Yeah, that's why they need to keep pushing out updates, lol. Class updates translate into more players to stabilize their flagging base, and more game sales, which in turn means more cosmetic sales. It's a feedback loop, my friend and it only works if there is pressure to make it cycle. You stop that pressure and the flow that keeps the loop going stops and bleeds out.

>>527593350
The next game very well could be darktide 2...
in which case, I'd expect them to put a bit more work in darktide to fill in the gaps.

If you want to use Vermintide 2 as an argument, why does Darktide have not nearly as much DLC as that game despite being out for nearly 3 years? The answer is that VT2 content is simply way easier and less costly to make. They had to put over 2 years worth of knowledge and resources from Darktide into Arbites alone.
Vermintide 2 had a new enemy faction only a year after initial release. Within 3 years, VT2 had 5 more careers, one more enemy faction, a new gamemode and several mission expansions. I'm probably missing more.
Within 3 years, what did Darktide get? Arbites and Mortis Trials I guess?

>>527593857
Also I think 2 more free missions.
And while it's not a new faction post-release, we did get 2, with one being added REALLY FAR into the dev cycle (dregs, I can tell you that by the fact that all the penances are for scabs but not for dregs)

>>527593640
>Darktide 2 launching with 15 classes
>but it's buggy as fuck and you fall through the floor constantly
I'll take it

>>527594027
The only difference between them is armor. That's not even notable. No behavioral differences.
The horned nigger demons behave wildly differently from rats and northlanders and use different weapons.

>>527593857
It's a multifaceted problem. Fatshark does not have a lot of Devs in the first place because they require all employees to live in Sweden, and also know the engine they do, one that barely anyone has ever used. So, there's a manpower shortage from that alone. Then you have competing dev studios in Stockholm with more money working on more popular things (Arrowhead is literally right there and we know at least some Fatshark devs jumped ship after HD2 took off).

The assets for Darktide are probably far more complicated to make, you're right. More money, more manpower. It's not a good situation to be in. And finally, some of the devs have said they prefer to work on VT2, either because it's easier or because they like the setting more. Who knows. Regardless, this splits their manpower even further. Finally, they have the third game they are starting to learn and build a UE5 team for. It's a shit situation and it perfectly explains a lot of why Darktide is the way it is. It's not an excuse though. It's bad management (they should have given VT2 the Necromancer and EoL'd the game), bad recruiting (only using on-site, in country devs is insane, especially since they aren't a co-op), bad tech (an outdated and niche engine), and on, and on, and on. I think pretty much any half-capable developer could have made a better Darktide than the Darktide we have because most devs don't do this retard shit. They do different retard shit, but not "Hey, let's split our extremely limited manpower across three different games!" Retarded.

>>527593857
I think the more realistic answer is that darktide was a commercial disappointment. It had to be pushed out before it was ready and monetize very aggressively, and as a result did not retain players. Now they have their big flagship game with a playerbase almost on par with the old game from 2018.
They downscaled the dev team that works on it because there's just no return from this. They could be developing the fuck out of this, playercounts wouldn't go up to the desired 100k+ consistently. There's loyal players and it's not dead, but the bulk for moneymaking moved on.

I'm guessing that all their competent devs are working on the next game and have been since the ports were done. I believe that's the case for multiple reasons:
1. All the new content in Darktide has been very low effort from a programming perspective. Artists and sound designers etc are able to work on Darktide, but it doesn't seem like they're capable of making actually fully new things for Darktide with the crew they have. Arbites ults are feasibly just slight tweaks to existing ults, ogryn rework introduced no new mechanics, no new enemies have been introduced other than a scab bomber reskin, a scab captain reskin, and a scab gunner reskin.
2. We know their studio did not grow massively, and we know they are working on a new title. It's simple math that the devs working on the new title and crunching that had to be subtracted somewhere else.

>>527590124
>the Necron equivalent of the lasgun literally atomizes people so none of that for us
The lasgun by itself puts 8in wide craters in people's chests. Video games have never been constrained by the lore.

>>527594365
>No behavioral differences.
Dregs used to mostly ignore suppression and don't seek cover. Half of that got patched out though because people were screeching hard

I agree though it's way too little difference

>>527593857
>They had to put over 2 years worth of knowledge and resources from Darktide into Arbites alone.
Like what fucking knowledge? Porting talents and shit from ogryn? Making a shotgun that is shittier than a bolter? A shield that is paired with a shock maul?
They didn't do shit, Fatshark is notoriously lazy and does fuck all.
And we know this and can tell this because lot of the shit for arbites is just pre-existing mechanics. Like the nuncio aquila is probably just a gold toughness dispenser. The Break the Line is just a less useful zealot or ogryn charge.
Only unique thing is the terminator mode, but even that amounts to just being a damage reduction + unstoppable momentum from ogryn.
Only the dog took anything major to do, and we already saw that it is utterly useless.

>>527594963
I think it's hard to say. Shitting on Fatshark for being incompetent (which they are) aside, I think covid played into their business strategy for Darktide very very much.
I know it's often overstated, but covid regulations did strike that industry hard as fuck and impaired their development hard. They had to basically go for the safe option that lets them try again.
In other words, Darktide was just not going to work unelss it was delayed by another 1-2 years which would've reasonably killed the company. What they did with the aggressive cash shop is the cope to coast them along for the next try. Unfortunate becuase I quite like darktide

>>527595139
>Only the dog took anything major to do,
mechanically it's arguably 90% a reskinend poxhound, but I agree it's the highest effort thing the class has

My zealot and my psyker are in a lesbian relationship. They love each other very much, and they wait anxiously at the Mourningstar mission departures until the other returns from their missions.

>you're shitty recruits from a penal ship and nobody likes you or trusts you

>>527596909
Even relic blades are extremely respected weapons and only given to very few space marines that have proven themselves. I imagine most of the rare weapons aboard Brahms' ship are bootlegs of real ones.
A toothpick still clears.

>>527594779
To be fair the monetization wasn't the whole problem, evidenced that people play shit like gacha on the regular.
The problem was Darktide being both *blatantly* bad, unfinished mess with like 70% of features missing and buggy as all hell at launch with shit tons of connectivity and disconnect issues. Meaning the actual game barely fucking functioned, while at the same time at launch only thing that worked 100% and didn't have any issues was the premium shop.
It's kinda like if you went to the dealership, got a brand new, factory fresh car after a test drive and inspection, but after you get home you realize the engine's knocking, one of the windshield wipers isn't working, the 1 of the front and back lights burn out and the engine's leaking coolant, and the same time only thing that works is the fucking seating heaters.

It basically turned like 95% of people off from the game (went from 100k players to 8k at best in less than 2 months, which is horrendeusly bad and for any other studio or dev would mean abject failure) when it hit like because it showed everyone where fatshark's priorities lied and still clearly fucking do seeing how they are developing new "content" for the game, ie. pure greed with the lowest effort possible, which borders on incompetence and retardation.
Because how the fuck else do you explain the incompetence and dumbshit like making 0.5 of a new enemy in 3 years, ie. dreg bomber which is just a reskinned scab bomber. That doesn't even take into fact the scab radio operator which is just a helmetless scab gunner, that 80% of the playerbase didn't know even existed because there was zero fucking communication and any amount of news about it came like few days after the event had been on going for.
Also to add insult to injury it was an event enemy, an enemy that is now mandatory to get a penance nowadays but you can't get it because the enemy no longer spawns. Bravo fatshark.

I just got vote kicked from the pre-game ready up screen. I've never had that happen before. Nobody said anything. I'm a psyker with bubble and assail. Are those hated or something? We were all around level 20.

>>527597454
All the weapons we have are literally scavenged off battlefields from previous failed teams and given a once over by Brunt/Hadron now that Brunt has disappeared.

>>527597548
and darktide was an unplayable mess after having been delayed.

Did anyone get access to the DRG rogue core alpha?

>>527598051
I wouldn't go as far as unplayable mess, just completely unfinished

>>527596909
>>527597454
The "relic blades" are just regular ass 2 handed power swords. Fatshark just calls them "relic blades" because it sounds cooler and because they are dumb and they didn't realize what "relic blade" means.

Relic blades in 40k is just a catch all term for bladed weapond which are all one of a kind artifacts that are extremely ancient, ie. relics like their name implies. And every single relic blade is a unique work of art, history and craftsmanship.
And a "relic blade" doesn't have to be a power sword, it can even be an axe or spear or even a chainsword.

Which is exactly wrong and opposite of what you see in darktide. Because the blades have straight up patterns and numbers which denote what it is and the reason why it exists is because it a weapon that is manufactured en mass. Pattern and mark numbers which wouldn't even exist on actual relic blades because they are usually one of a kind creations or so heavily altered that it is no longer possible to discern what pattern or mark of weapon the blade or originally was.

It's just yet another thing fatshark has gotten wrong in the game because they are retarded.

>>527597647
The most optimistic explanation is that the other players were dumbass friends playing together and wanted their 4th to join so they votekicked you out.
The most pessimistic explanation is that they were all ziggers and thought it would be EPIC to kick the guy whose name isn't slavrunes.

>>527596909
We don’t have any weapons that would make a space marine “jealous”, quite literally everything we have is a significantly less powerful downgraded version of their stuff. Like the other guy said these “relic blades” aren’t the stuff that people go crazy for, their effects are also way too tame for that

this game stresses me out

>>527598467
>Fatshark just calls them "relic blades" because it sounds cooler and because they are dumb and they didn't realize what "relic blade" means.
things only fly if GW likes it, so if they tried to call them power greatswords or 2 handed powerswords, GW likely said no and told them to call it a relic blade
fatshark cant "get things wrong", they arent allowed to because games workshop wont stand for it, which is why shit takes ages to come out cuz it has to go through checks from gw in addition to everything else

>>527603437
You better start calling people ginger, else someone might report you

Does assail count as ranged damage?
Does ceasing casting spells and letting your peril naturally decrease over time count as quelling, or does that only apply to holding the reload button and doing the animation?
Do the psyker abilities of my staff count as ranged damage, or warp damage? Both?
Does the blue flame applied by the pyro staff count as "soulblaze", or is "soulblaze" only the blue flame caused by the specific talents in the talent tree that say they produce soulblaze, and not all blue flame is the same?
Does "weapon swap speed" apply to the assail shards in your hand?

>>527606521
>Does assail count as ranged damage?
I believe it does. I know for a fact it counts for ranged kills for melk contracts, by which logic it should count as ranged damage. You can test it in the psykhanium, though you might need a healthbar/damage numbers mod.
>Does ceasing casting spells and letting your peril naturally decrease over time count as quelling
It does count as quelling for the purpose of interacting with the talent that gives you toughness for peril quelled, if that's what you're asking.
>Do the psyker abilities of my staff count as ranged damage, or warp damage? Both?
Both.
>Does the blue flame applied by the pyro staff count as "soulblaze"
Yes. All blue fire counts, including the ground pound staff crit blessing.
>Does "weapon swap speed" apply to the assail shards in your hand?
Weapon swap speed is just how quickly you can switch between different inventory slots (pressing 1-5, or using scroll wheel). It basically affects the speed of the animation that plays before you're allowed to fire your weapon. Assail is basically instant, you can ignore swap speed.

There is no lore rework coming. They are just expanding on the same story they've been telling since 2022, we are only getting minimal cutscenes.
Also arbites "story" and involvement in this game is literally "they were always there on the planet, you just never saw them"

>>527603437

The new weapons are probably going to be lukewarm at best, and the meta build for arbites is probably going to be the same old shit we've been playing all this time anyway
The shotgun buffs are probably going to make them decently usable at best, arbites shotgun is probably going to suck unless it has some broken gimmick we haven't seen yet

Doomers are mad because they're poor
Bloomers are contrarian retards
Fatshark is dumb and incompetent, so we're getting a 6/10 update at best, and that's fine. Those of you that can afford it are still going to buy the new class, don't kid yourselves. Those that can't afford it need to get off my internet, I'm not okay with sharing it with thirdies. Throw consoomer insults at me all you like.

could just be boredom

>Bloomers are contrarian retards
or maybe they just like video games

>>527618982
>arbites will just be veteran
>mission board rework won't be good
>new weapons will be meh and arbites shotgun will suck
>meta arbites will be ds4 and bolter with no dog
>shotgun buffs won't change the meta
You're so poisoned by negativity you think an endless spew of doomer opinions is "not taking a side" because it isn't scorched earth like the guy a few posts above.

>>527618982
Why must I buy it if I can afford it?

>>527619102
The only way one can be optimistic about anything fatshark puts out, is out of ignorance. Anything else is contrarianism against the doomers, or pure cope. It's not at all a realistic stance to have with this dogshit company.
It's basically guaranteed that whatever they put out isn't going to be actually good, but I'm also fairly certain it's not going to suck either. You will buy it, I will buy it, it'll be okay, we'll enjoy ourselves, and then get mad at all the wasted potential like we always do.

>>527618982
>Why are you fucking retards so obsessed with taking sides?

>proceeds to reveal his personal side of the issue
Ok, retard. Thanks for the input

>>527619235
philosophers have pondered this question for millennia

>>527516713
Bullshit, it's not for the poor

People be saying the most retarded shit you ever heard and then get mad when you treat them like a retard

>>527619245
You're just holding on to a grudge at this point. Speak for yourself.

>>527619505
He's a retard
>you're not having fun! It's a false reality, an illusion!

>>527619245
Problem is that ratclick dlcs save for winds of magic were fun. Here, knowing the base game quality, the dlc isn't expected to be fun

>>527619505
>Sefoni's goon dimension wasn't great
>ogryn rework just made the class retardedly broken
>havoc 2.0 wasn't that much of an improvement
>havoc 1.0 was never good in the first place
>carnival map with the ritual at the end is complete shooter alleyway cancer with an uninspired event in the middle that re-uses default voice lines
>clandestium is absolutely atrocious with pubbies because they all die on the first stage and ignore the objective on the second stage
The most recent update that was actually good, was just the ability to properly craft your own gear, and that's not because the update was actually good, but rather, because it removed the complete cancer gambling mechanics from the game.
What kind of brain damage do you have to trust this company? Do you know what pattern recognition is?

>havoc game crashes
>now crashes each time I try to reenter
ok I hope these russians won't be too mad

>>527619757
>whine whine whine
that's subjective and i could make a whole list of good things but it would be a waste of time because you've clearly made up your mind anyway. You're gonna hate the game anyway no matter what fatshark does. But please, keep bumping the very general of the game you hate so much.

>>527619757
Are you gonna apologize when we are all having fun in a week or are you just gonna disappear until you find something else to bitch about?

>>527619879
>schizo projection
I like the game, but I accept your concession.

>>527619896
>Are you gonna apologize
No, fatshark is a dogshit company, go back to your trannycord if you want to throat their cocks so desperately.
I'm still going to play and enjoy arbites, however.

>>527620018
>I don't like fatshart yet am gonna give them extra dosh

You're part of the problem

>>527620018
>No
Yeah, that's what i thought. Now scamper off and leave us normal people be so we don't have to suffer your mindless screeching

>>527620113

Thanks for outing yourself.

Man doomers at least sometimes doom about different shit, but bloomers always have the same talking points and never change them. Is it discord or a samefag?

>>527620671
There is only 1 truth but an infinite ways to be wrong

>doomers:
>everything's going to be shit, the dog will be shit, the guns will be shit, the story will be shit, the builds will be shit, all future updates will be shit, the new game fatshark's working on will be shit, no other coop game will be worth shit
>bloomers:
>that guy's a retard
Wow bloomers are like a broken record they must be a bot or something.

Nigger it's obvious that's some fucking retard trying to shit up the thread further. He even replied to doomfags. If you can recognize a bait that fucking obvious then I'm willing to bet my left leg you're either a metafagging Havoc tranny or a seditionlet.
