Has the game progressed beyond "CATI BP RUN!!1" yet? Literally the only time I was able to play non-BP maps with goons was the first day I bought this grindfest.

I just did a bunch of non-Black Powder runs with goons. Just try asking in the group chat or join a group and see if anyone's actually interested in playing the game.

I will freely admit that I've spent some time cheesin' it too. :v:

They do have a Space Marine trademark dumb dumb. It's just that it exclusively applies to miniatures and miniature accessories. Kind of like how Apple has a trademark on the Apple.

Doesn't mean they didn't try to push said trademark into other media. They sued a lady who wrote a furry book called [generic cat name] the Space Marine with cover art that didn't look at all like the Adeptes Astartes. Just some anthro tiger dude in generic future armor.

Maybe one day GW will get management that will stop huffing marker fumes. Until then, I do hope we can get good games out of the IPs despite them.

Any advice on tweaking the game for better FPS? I have a i7 and an R9 280.

I drop from 60fps to the mid 50's in a general fight; and down to 40 in big swarms, especially the White Rat mission.

First night. Loved my first two games- then I got in 2 that lost within 5 seconds of my arrival, and one more that featured people that didn't seem to understand video games, let alone teamplay.

But even just getting kinda-sorta-maybe competent people, this thing is pretty awesome. Great atmosphere, great teamplay, gameplay, etc. Just good stuff.

Try not looking at or near a witchunter when they're spamming their brace of pistols. For some reason the blasts murder framerate.

Try not spamming the brace of pistols as aggressively? Or try spamming it yourself to see if you're triggering your own video lag? It doesn't affect me when I'm the Witch Hunter, but I've noticed that when playing with other WH's that rapid fire can utterly wreck my framerate.

The game looks fine on Low settings honestly, so don't be worried about turning it down and seeing if that helps it. The game felt like I was walking through molasses the first couple runs until I turned the settings to Low myself.

I've mostly soldorfed it up so far, hadn't tried elf at all until this evening. Tried a couple of games as elf and its been the best time I've had so far, the bow destroys hordes and the twin blades attack so fast you can chew through normal rats with ease. I enjoy playing as the elf. I don't even know who I am anymore.

I have written a great deal over the years about the ‘greatest danger’ facing Games Workshop. It has usually been in response to the expression of some fear of imminent doom. When will the world tire of miniatures? (It won’t; these are not fashion items, they are hobby collectibles.) Won’t all your customers move on to computer games instead? (They didn’t; most of our current customers weren’t born when the Atari ST came out.) How about other games like Pokémon or role-playing games? (Who can remember them, now?).

This is after year 2000's where they blamed Magic and Pokemon for killing their sales.

When the dwarf says "nice shot dorie" or "good one dorie" who the gently caress is he talking to? Nobody's name is anything close to dorie? His weapon? That can be a hammer or axe or sword? Does he call literally everyone and everything dorie? Does he have an invisible friend?

Dawri is the Dwarf word for comrades who are not dwarfs, so everyone else.

Dawri: As good and reliable as can be, without proving reliability through use over time.

He's calling the gang Dawri as an affectionate nickname. He does this with everyone, calling Krueber Azumgi, Saltyspire Grimgi, etc.

Dongliz - Parts of Dwarf body impossible to scratch.

I read somewhere that his nickname for the waywatcher is literally "stupid elf". What about Azumgi and Grimgi?


edit: did a quick search

umgi = human
Azul - Metal of any kind, dependable, a sturdy Dwarf.
Grim - Harsh, unyielding.

I guess Krueber is metal/dependable dude while Saltpyre is unyielding dude.

Game puts the dwarf-human language translations in the loading tips sometimes, so that's where most of us saw them. And since the dwarf is such a bro and the characterization is pretty good, most goons remember this poo poo.

Nothing to be sorry about indeed.

Kruber: Azumgi, or tough/reliable(lit. metal) human
Saltzpyre: Grimgi, or harsh/unyielding human
Kerillian: Wutelgi, or Wood Elf. This is kinda surprising, especially since the Wut comes from Wutroth, which is wood from an old tree. Maybe Bardin doesn't dislike the elf as much as it seems!
Sienna: Zharrinn, or Fire Lady, but it's important that rinn isn't just the word for any lady, but the King's Consort, a title of great importance, like Queen.

With him calling everyone good and reliable(Dawr=Reliable, good as it gets +i=plural), and referring to them all as oathbound slayers(Dreng=kill in combat, +Baraz=bond, oath, promise+i=plural), the cool thing about all these little word translations is showing how much Bardin is a total bro to everyone and how much he really likes their band. Even the elf! He has a nifty nickname for the ELF!

There are a ton of little details that tickle my inner sperg, like the Imperial characters referring to all the Gods at the correct times and stuff like that. I like that they put a lot of that in, but didn't make a big deal out of it. It doesn't slow things down and it's just a nice bunch of detail.

My favourite dude has to be kruber. He's a nice combination of an ideal soldier gentlemen, combined with being sort of an emotional mess and hiding it behind a stiff upper lip. The latter is kind of subtle until you look at his room and see the combination of little handcrafted crude dolls and copious amounts of alcohol.

He's got a... moment with saltz as well. Went roughly like

:geno: You're thinking about going to try to find your family at your farm, aren't you?
:unsmith: Aye, sir.
:geno: They're all dead, you know.
:smith: I know, sir.
:geno: Don't try to hope, focus your anger on revenge instead, soldier.
