I'm guessing that making an all-male class on release means that they'll produce an all-female DLC class later

If you're thinking Sister of Battle I think you'll be disappointed. They're an order of magnitude higher on the power scale than guardsmen are.

Even a Repentia is a stretch since they don't get sent to a prison.

IMO it's that they'd be so similar to the zealot and that the chance of a Sister ending up in prison is near zero. They'd either get executed by the ecclesiarchy or be forced to become a Repentia.

I got a flamer for my zealot and I'm not sure if I like it or not. You move noticeably slower with it equipped, it's slow to equip, hip fire is just a little poot of flame, slow to "aim" which lets you let loose like a fire hose, and doesn't seem to crit or get bonus weak spot damage.

However, it makes crazy short work of hordes.

I had the ogryn say "you just think I'm stupid" and the zealot responded "worry not, for the Emperor made you exactly as you need to be to do his work"

Surprisingly wholesale for someone who's that crazy.

The trend of devs opening up public Discords for anything but small indie projects sounds awful. If I worked as a game developer and had to read Discord feedback as part of my job I would hate it.

I think it happens because forums are a dead form of communication, we're just the weird ones that are hanging on.

Honeatly GW has done a good job in recent years of turning off that kind of person by just making minorities more visible in the art and lore. Theyre real thin skinnned and a lot of them jumped onto battletech instead, unfortunate for that fandom.
It's been rough.

A very vocal portion of the Battletech community lost their minds because a tank called the "Patton" is getting a release soon, but not the "Rommel". Note: they are the same tank, just the "Rommel" was a moniker used for a specific weapon loadout version of the Patton. They have always used the same model on the tabletop as well. So basically the new packs will have "Patton tank" instead of "Patton/Rommel tank" on the label.

There was also a meltdown that happened when Catalyst games didn't renew a writing contract with an author that has gone off the rails with white supremacist and lost cause poo poo.

One of the last Medicae stations I visited had the servitor say something along the line of "Please, do not go. It is so lonely here", and that just caused my group to double-take for a second and just WTF at that.

Some of the medicae servitor's lines are pretty depressing. Another that I remember is "I can feel pieces of my mind slipping away".

Also keep in mind that there are radios with skulls all over the place and each of those is a servitor, meaning a human skull with a brain that's had everything not needed for being a radio lobotomized.

I've been trying to get the "abhor the mutant" penance, and I haven't been able to make it work.

The text is "While dashing, kill a Mutant with a melee attack".

While I'm dashing? It's dashing? We're both dashing? I swear I've done at least one of all 3.

Real Cool Catfish posted:

How many dash melee kills do I have to do on mutant for the drat thing to register the penance.

I just got that like 10 mins after complaining about not getting it in this thread.

How I ended up doing it was I started a heavy attack, charged at the mutant while it was charging, and released the heavy attack into his head before I stopped moving. It's really tight timing and I think my problem before was hitting the mutant after my charge was technically over, even though I had the crit buff.

Is there a way to skip the intro cutscene(s) and "press space to proceed" and just launch straight to the character select? It's pretty annoying especially considering how often the game crashes.

Does anyone know if this blessing gives a 10% toughless heal on each swing, or just a 10% max toughness buff?



You gain back toughness.

eg: if you have 100 toughness, you'd get 10 back when it procs.

It's honestly been kind of a pain in the rear end to cheese. I keep getting already mid-game lobbies with Zealots that are just completing the mission, people earnestly looking to pub tier 5 missions in their mid teens (sickos), or the rare occasion where I get to create a mission but there are no barrels or ways of self damage before the first drop down and I cant get any ranged mobs attention to come over and light me up. Spent like 2 hours trying this evening between myriad game crashes on mission start / hub reload. It's getting exhausting.

I think the best way is to get a full group and just get it in one go for 4 people.

That being said, anyone want to group up for it?

I can deal with the bolter have a strange recoil pattern or taking a long time to reload, it's usually used by people or superhumans in power armor.

The needing to cock it every time you pull it out is what drives me nuts. Or even if you get a little boop from an explosion or another knockback you have to go through the egregiously long cocking animation.

I've noticed on more than one occasion that they refer to a Valkyrie as a Storm Raptor. Which is odd because afaik there's nothing called a Storm Raptor in 40k, so I'm not sure where that came from.

Is there an answer to muties outside of "kill them before they get close"? Dodging them rarely works and you can't push them away.

Dogs are easy enough to dodge and/or push as they leap in, but I haven't found a consistent way of dealing with muties.

I'd still be on the lookout for a Bolter with the Shattering Impact blessing, it makes a massive difference in how many shots it takes to take down armored targets. With +3 rending it straight up halves the amount it takes to kill Crushers for example.

This game is certainly in the "beggars can't be choosers" category when talking about weapon drops. It's a loving drip-feed and the chance of getting a weapon with decent stats and just one of the blessings you want is nigh impossible.

How are you supposed to deal with Ragers as a Zealot with an Eviscerator? Nothing I do seems to stun them, so I just trade hits and hope for the best. Turns out that doesn't really work when you're fighting three of them plus a horde.

Rev it and smack them. They'll be stunned while you're sawing into them.
