I think this is somehow the first 40k FPS with usable chain weapons, because I believe neither Space Hulk or Necromunda: Hired Gun featured them

New Nvidia drivers out, Darktide mentioned as a game. Some people during the beta test claimed they got better performance when they rolled back their drivers, so I guess keep that in mind if it's a problem.

they're hoping nothing will be wiped but they reserve the right to wipe if something goes wrong



so during the beta if something corrupts character data or everyones stats glitch to 9999 they're not going to painstakingly go through the database and correct it, they'll just wipe

Yeah, they are only going to wipe if there's a showstopping bug. Stat glitches, equipment dupes, poo poo like that.

it looks like you're arguing that regular rejects couldn't kill a space marine when you say they'd immediately die

I'm looking forward to repeatedly manhandling space marines with well-placed overhead strikes. bashing their silly armor to bits with a trench shovel. shooting a red barrel to turn a patrol of plague marines into a big ol mess

I'm not sure why you couldn't spot the obviously joke response, did you think I was beginning a series of arguments? The joke was just a throwaway comment about how fast marines of any stripe could kill a bunch of regular people. Hell, check out the Astartes video on youtube for a good example. But it's 40k, marines of all types are simultaneously the doom of all planets and capable of being easily chumped depending on the piece of fiction they're appearing in and whether or not the main characters happen to be lugging around a special weapon, or get lucky, or a million other contrivances that pop up in the fiction. FatShark was the one who said that marines wouldn't be in the game, I don't particularly care, but apparently they felt it wasn't appropriate for whatever story they want the rejects to be a part of - at least so far.

e: and if I were in their shoes I would probably agree if for no other reason than it meant I would have to avoid a bunch of nerds insisting on being able to use space marine equipment for their characters even more than they already will be

ee: IMO if chaos marines were gonna show up in a fatshark game I'd prefer it was in DarkTide 2: Deathwatch :v:

I wonder if you still have to go through Valve to do pre-loads at all? Either way, rough.

Yeah, Fatshark has explicitly said no marines, chaos or otherwise and I believe them.

Besides, thats the obvious escalation point for Darktide 2. I bet they save it for the next game.

Who is Sienna? Zealot, right? I want to be whoever she is. I know it's not official but I'm certain they got everyone back and I refuse to doubt it.

None of the vt2 VAs are in according to what other goons said. They have people doing impersonations though. The Sienna facsimile is either female psyker 2 or 3.

Source? They are uncredited but when it was brought up on reddit, a community manager said that the entire voice cast has not been announced. I think they are being cheeky.

I think it was brought up in the old thread. Someone had a list of the VAs from Fatshark.

I'm gonna interpret that as shenanigans and say they are the same VAs. People love them and hiring new people to impersonate them would be such an insane "gently caress you" from a professional standpoint that I don't think they'd do it.

They put out a big article with the voice actors for all the classes a while back, I don't think any of the Vermintide 2 actors are on it from my very cursory glance but I very well could be wrong. https://www.playdarktide.com/news/dev-blog-voices-of-the-41st-millennium

One of the ogryn voices is Bardin to a T. If they went out of their way to replace the popular voice actors with people just doing impersonations I would think they would get a ton of backlash. People go crazy for voice actors they love.

i liked Vermintide somewhat but the aesthetic was a whiff for me. Darktide looks much more my kinda jam though

I didn't play in the playtest but I heard it was really buggy even by FatShark standards?

Performance was pretty bad for a lot of people including myself but I didn't really experience any bugs. I didn't play much more than half a dozen rounds or so though because I had gotten what I wanted out of that beta.

They did say that performance should be improved across the board now compared to what we saw in the beta so fingers crossed it'll be better. Check back with us in a couple hours :v:

This is my thought as well. Plus the post from the community manager on Reddit saying "stay tuned, we haven't revealed EVERYONE teehee".

It would be a lovely thing to snub the U5 VAs especially when they are hugely beloved by the community.. Double lovely to then cast new people to do impersonations of those VAs, but as different characters. That'd be very aggro for no reason
