I think its possible to do orks in a game like this.

Instead of hordes of zombies you do a grot swarm, regular boys would be like armored troops they require a couple shots to put down. Nobs would be big dudes and Boss Nobs would be like healthbar bosses.

Then you got your special weapons boys.
Runtherder would be a grabber enemy.
Lootas or Flash Gitz would be a highly damaging heavy weapons.
Burna boys, flamethrower nuff said.
Kommandos for sneaky assassination.

So are you saying they posted a fake VA announcement, or they paid two different actors to record one character's lines, or what?

Each class and gender for that class has multiple possible voices. (Ogryns are only males.)

The VA announcement is real but I think incomplete. Until every voice is accounted for, I'm sticking to my guns on this. If they've already accounted for everyone then I will admit I'm wrong, though I will be very passive aggressive about it

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.

I imagine if they put them in then they'd put them as a healthbar boss at the end of the run. Their equivalent in Vermintide got turned into punks pretty fast with some ranged damage so if they did the same here it'd have to be more canon "one marine is worth a thousand infantry" types.

Does the beta reset progress or is it just an early access to the game?

Dude poo-poo's Ogryn's grenade box but it does shitloads of damage to bosses with a good hit and can kill/stagger specials. It is definitely a bit mid, it especially sucks that you only have one to use, but chucking it to delete a special with a well placed shot seemed pretty decent to me.

Yeah, he seems rather down on Ogryn in general, which sucks because I think he was excited about them. He's by far a better player than me, but after spending a good amount of time watching his videos I realize that I play way more aggressive and maybe that will work for me. I dunno. I'm playing with friends who aren't quite as experienced at 'tide games, so I'm okay with playing a slightly weaker character with them if that is indeed the case.

It didn't seem too bad to me in the beta, like obviously he won't be as survivable as a max level Bardin but it felt alright to me. I'm all in on Ogryn either way :getin:

I am this close to pressing the buy button, but the potential grindmill makes me wary.

I don't suppose the game will launch with a Chaos Wastes equivalent game mode, will it? That was by far the best part of VT2 (and I wish there was a client for just that, game is big)

He didn't really say they were bad or unplayable or anything from what I watched though, at worst slightly more sub optimal than the others. I also find that sometimes youtubers, in their quest for "optimal play" will quickly jump on an assumption or declare a meta and not play through the many permutations of a level or playstyle or whatever to get a full overlook of a thing.

I'm sure a competent player will be able to play and complete all the content on all the difficulties as an Ogryn. If they can't then they'll buff them as well of course cause that'd be rubbish otherwise.

If they are then they haven't said anything about it yet. There's 5 zones with 13 missions with random modifiers/routes going through them in the initial release is all they've said. So they've tried to make the main missions have a little bit more randomisation from what it sounds like.

If there's a Chaos Wastes equivalent mode it'd be an endgame thing so maybe they'd keep it under wraps but generally you trumpet big back of box features like that I think. I'd bet on it coming in the future as a way to get a playerbase bump personally.

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.

Per IMDB the U5 voices are as follows - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7979608/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm:

Saltspyre - Tim Bentinick
Kruber - Dan Mersh
Goreksson - David Rintoul
Kerillian - Alix Wilton Regan
Sienna - Bethan Dixon Bate

All the voice actors that are in the betas are here: https://www.playdarktide.com/news/dev-blog-voices-of-the-41st-millennium

There is no overlap.

Edit: Having new voices pop up for the live release that beta players can't take without remaking their characters would be a dick move.

For sure. He did specifically spell out that they're not crap. He just seemed a little cool on them compared to his previous videos. I do think playstyle might play a big part of it. And like you said, if there's a problem I'm sure they'll buff him. Not hard to add a bit more toughness or whatever. I'm still very, very stoked to play Ogryn. I really want some info on 2h weapons, though! I can't stand it!

As has been said about twice a page for the last 5 or so Fatshark is noncommittal - More than likely they are only going to wipe in the case of a showstopper bug. Per the developers words "The further into beta without a wipe, the less likely it will be"

Edit: Can we get that developer quote added to the OP or something?

Ah beta.

I don't think Marines of any variety are going to be in Darktide, because there's literally no reason they would. Just because there's imperium doesn't mean there'll be marines, especially doing the inquisition's dirty work, and just because there's chaos doesn't mean there would be spiky marines, either.

That said, in a potential sequel or any other type of tide game they should totally just be VT2 Chaos Warrior analogues. What makes marines 40k isn't the unending circlejerk over how they're all Captain America in an Ironman suit. It's the bit where they randomly end up dead in a ditch because human life, including marines, has no value in the big picture. That's the 40k bit.
