Im assuming they're basically placeholders for beta, but choosing missions with 'more hordes' seems like a huge trap right now except maybe to get the weird Penances, you get a xp bonus but you get the same bonus for doing a 'less hordes' mission and the difference in added difficulty is huge

Rabelais D posted:Coming from Vermintide 2 it feels like melee in this game doesn't quite have the same great weighty feedback, I also don't feel like there's good feedback as to where I'm taking damage from. Sometimes feels like I'm taking random damage, or suddenly all my toughness disappears and I have no idea how, but I suppose that's because I'm new to the game (I do know to look behind me). There's a level where you go a broken dome where the light is streaming into the interiors and you run around the shantytown in the open. It's very bright.

Played some Ogryn today and enjoyed it, though I concur with someone earlier in the thread who said it's a bit rough being stuck with the club and the single barrel shotgun for the first several levels. That gun packs a huge wallop and, as a fan of shotguns in FPS games, I want to love it. But the drat thing takes ages to reload, generally long enough that you're going to get meelee'd before you can get off a second shot unless you're doing a full speed retreat. The ripper shotgun is really fun though. If you're playing something other than Ogryn keep in mind that your large friend can barely do any damage at long range. Please shoot the snipers. Please. I can't rush down every single one of them.

I managed to load into a game with 3 bots for a bit and they stayed hugging me in a nice tight little deathball, then 3 randos joined and it was actually the best pub experience I've had, one of each class and the psyker had chain lighting stuff that locked groups down. Also had a dog get poochied back to his home planet in an earlier game  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYjnF_Qvf8k

Some of the weekly quests seem to be a big buggy. Have one which is "Kill 750 dregs with ranged". Fine, dregs are just the normal looking guys, right? Well, no apparently. Had a lot of missions where I got no kills registered, trying to focus on clearing crowds with ranged. "Oh well, maybe it's misattributed to another enemy type?" Nope again, shooting at everything in a mission, no progress. "Hmm, it seems to have triggered on this mission, maybe it only works for that mission for some reason?" Nope, trying the same mission twice in a row, first clear had 200 kills register, second clear had none. In the end, I figured it's just literally random.

Dregs are the human guys dressed like sand people from star wars, sometimes they'll appear as your main enemy in missions but I don't know if there's a way to tell what the enemy type will be when you start. If you're against dregs their specials will spawn as well, i.e. dreg flamer the good news is I'm pretty sure those contracts are party wide, so any ranged kill of a dreg by a group member counts. When you do get dreg missions it completes pretty fast

Where the scabs have the armored marauders with the spiked shoulder pads the dregs have the carapace helmet guys with the bare torso and yellow robes. Dreg/scab gunners, etc. It appears the faction you're facing is random? I'm not sure if any mission is guaranteed to have one or the other. efb

I even noticed I got a bunch of "Dreg" specials killed during the missions. Didn't count anyway

Weird, I didn't have any problems getting those done but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.  If you melee push a poxburster who is mid-air in their final leap it will throw them far enough away that you will not take damage. Walls permitting and all that.

So there’s three more really obviously “this will be a vendor/station of some kind” spots on the Morningstar. The techpriest (is that Hadron?) looks like a pretty obvious crafting/upgrade station. Has there been any rumblings at all about what else might or might not pop up at actual launch?

I imagine one of them is probably the premium cosmetics interface, since that's nowhere to be seen in menus. Otherwise all we've heard is "some surprises" are coming.

I just got a purple combat axe drop with the Brutal Momentum trait, which says that on a Weak Spot Kill, you ignore enemy hit mass. Someone here was asking what that could mean, and I'm here to say it means "infinite cleave." Hope you got it on a weapon that can swing sideways because if you do, mwah. And yeah, I've made it work on a combat axe despite it only having one wide sweep attack; just gotta block-cancel and learn the combo.

JBP posted:How do you make a grenade blow up before it hits the ground lol Throw it very, very far. Best place is when you're extracting on the ammo resupply mission, chuck it at the door as a horde comes through. You'll see the indicator end above the ground if you're throwing it right, aim it about a poxwalker and a half high, maybe a little lower.

JBP posted:How do you make a grenade blow up before it hits the ground lol I know what you're trying to do and I wish you luck. That said, I managed to get mine by just quick-throwing the frag up high at an incoming horde. Don't hold the button where you can see the arc, just throw up high (you shouldn't be able to see the target) and hope for the best. The level where there's a bridge you cross and then hold out for an elevator is a good place to go for it. Multiple hordes will rush you so you have more chances to get the cheevo.

S.J. posted:Also, what is 'hit mass' and why would I care about ignoring it? A lot of the stat references in this game are completely unexplained. toasterwarrior posted:I just got a purple combat axe drop with the Brutal Momentum trait, which says that on a Weak Spot Kill, you ignore enemy hit mass. Someone here was asking what that could mean, and I'm here to say it means "infinite cleave." Hope you got it on a weapon that can swing sideways because if you do, mwah. Each enemy type in the game has a certain mass, increasing difficulty increases it. The mass of an enemy indicates how difficult is to stagger them and to cleave through them. Someone asked before about power level of the weapons, apart from increased damage it increases your stagger and cleave stats so you can keep with the mass increase of the higher difficulties. This is the reason why playing in higher difficulty missions with low power level is so painful, you can't stagger the enemies and your hits can only hit one enemy at a time because you can't cleave through them. Edit: This is how it works in Vermintide so i guess it's the same in Darktide.

speaking of veteran penances "marked for death" - when it says to hit 4 enemies weak spots with a secondary action without missing "a shot" its confusing me because I thought secondary was the thumb button on weapons ? which is always a punch of slap or bayonet etc or is it something else ? I seem to have done it 3/4 times already but im not sure which gun I was using to do that edit: ok so - it just completed using the helbore lasgun with the charge fire (by just holding down mouse1) - so I guess that is what is considered a secondary action - pretty easy in the end. just 4 headshots in a row with charged shots in one volley fire. edit2: or as people below me said, its just by aim down sight headshots.

Its kind of crazy how much of a difference in performance turning off Steam overlay has, goddamn. Does anyone else, regardless of other performance, have massively worse performance on the scanning map? That scanning objective is a real drag to do with clueless pubbies too.

Secondary is zoomed-in mode with a rifle. You just need to snipe 4 heads in a row using the Volley Fire special ability without missing a head.

The dagger is very good from what I've tried of it, big dodges, good horde clear, big meaty heavy chunk stabs, a quick punch special that opens into a very fast and good looking stab and most importantly if you sprint and hold the heavy attack you move faster than normal max movement speed. Had a game where we had a powercell for a medicae early but we couldn't find it, I then told the group it was our baby now and we had to look after it and the team carried it all the way to extraction.

Fun thing I learned is that the assassination target bosses get their shield absolutely melted in no time at all if everybody just crowds around them and bashes their head in, which makes them very easy finales with friends and they can be very difficult in matchmade games where not everybody knows this. Also its already been mentioned before but maulers have ultra armored heads and its better to shoot them in the belly, even though it feels wrong.
