Fuckin' extreme buyer's remorse after paying through the nose for a pandemic GPU only for them to release a new DLSS that only supports the new new cards a few months later :smith:

Dude my 2080 Super died during the height of the pandemic/GPU price spike. I met someone in a parking lot to buy a new 3070. I'm not going to mention how much I paid for it.

That seems like something that would be close to impossible without asking your team no? The only instance I can think of where that would work sort of naturally is if everyone else is down.

Pretty much, yeah. But for what it's worth, those particular challenges all seem to be the sort that you dedicate an entire run to (or several, depending on your luck), and in return unlock fairly fancy clothes. The Zealot got one where they can't use their ranged weapon ever, the sharpshooter got one where they must have 100% accuracy and use up all their ammo (both in the higher difficulties), and so on.

lol I didn't realize it was only for 4000 series cards. I recently built a new PC with a 3080, thankfully the price wasn't too exorbitant. I don't regret it because the price of 4000 cards is still ridiculous.

As usual with Nvidia stuff there's already a workaround to use DLSS 3 on older RTX cards, though I dunno if they've tried to lock it out yet.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

Introductory experience is a huge improvement over the beta, the lil prologue does a great job of getting you hype to exterminate some heretics.

This runs surprisingly well. Like its not butter smooth but its more than playable, using the last Nvidia drivers with a 3070 and i7700k. No raytracing or DLSS


Also which female voice for the zealot is it that does the "for the master of mankind!" line on ult, is it Agitator?

Anyone know if it's possible to change stuff like your face or voice after making a character? My dude looks weird in a way that I didn't intend to and think I would prefer a different voice. I can just make a new guy since i'm still so early on but didn't know if something opened up to let you customize that stuff eventually.

Theres a barber/chirurgeon in the hub but it doesn't seem to be active in beta, so I'm guessing yes, but not right now

I played the beta with a Ryzen 5 1600 (which is less powerful than the minimum spec) 32GB RAM and a gtx 1070 and it was fine, I didn't set anything to low and I didn't notice any stuttering

Yea just wanted to come and say this because I've been loosely following this game but mainly just hyped for it to release. I was thinking of not even playing the beta and just wait for the full release but decided to give it a go and gosh, this is the 40k game I've been waiting for.

The entire intro experience, all the voice acting, the production design choices and cutscenes have all been absolutely stellar. The music is great !

The entire prologue sequence looks sick as gently caress, the environment is just massively cool and the enemies and allies all look great. I loved the bit with the Inquisitor using a janky rear end servitor with the hologram face to speak with the voice modulation changing depending on the face. Very loving cool.

Even the training is fun with the psychanium or whatever. It all just looks bonkers good.

Very hype to actually start playing.

After my first real game I think I've upgraded this to "Runs mostly pretty well (for me) as long as you (I) don't use the ray tracing stuff"

Also important to note; the ol' Fatshark revive trick is at play in this game too. If you're reviving someone, hold block as you're doing it. It won't look like it but you will be blocking attacks as you revive that person.

Crashing almost every mission and crashed twice back to back within seconds of loading back in in a boss fight. Very tired of this between MW2 and this.

Runs great otherwise.

does the trick still work? I'd love if that were the case, I could've sworn guys kept hitting me through my block while I was reviving teammates during the earlier beta

Just had a reboot mid-match. At least it happened toward the beginning. I also experienced crashes in the closes beta but never a reboot. \

I actually can't remember the last time a game caused a reboot actually.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

The new DLSS3 introduces input lag that is noticeable. You’re not missing out.

It’s super worth it even though you get two pops before overheat. Being able to kill things regardless of them breaking LOS is huge. You can make dogs and bombers a non issue. You can pick big guys out of crowds and boom, done. It’s still hugely valuable and it seems like your peril outside of combat goes down much more quickly and after a shorter cooldown. I haven’t had a ton of reasons to quell.

have you checked out the skill tree? just by default every head you completely pop gives you a stack of damage boosting for 25 seconds, up to 4. not to mention the fact you have an autoaim through walls special delete button. and then skills can enhance that.

Watched the PC Gaming Show trailer earlier and I'm really liking the current trend of 40K games going all in with techno music and distortion. I love Doyle Donehoo's 40K music a lot but it's nice seeing 40K embrace more of its AD2000 roots and get a good bit of punk flavouring in there.

performance mostly fine but even with a 3080 and a new-ish ryzen I had to turn some of the fancier stuff down, turning off lens flare on all lights made a pretty big cpu difference (just like the blog post said) and I can't say it made much difference visually
