I'm not blaming ogryn players, it's just a design choice to have one character be 3 times bigger than everyone else and then allowing teams to have more than 1 of the same said character when the maps have a lot of tight corridors.

Here's an annoying this about the current bar system: Which one of these do you think do the most damage per shot?  Answer: It's the second one, almost 20% more.

The bar graphs are supposed to show how different it is from the base stats of the gun, the problem is they never tell you what the base stats are supposed to be or how you are supposed to figure out the difference between a Kantrael MG IV and a Ia infantry lasgun (which the game considers different games for the sake of the bar graphs), the patch notes said they are aware of this and will change it after release, but jeeze they are blind when it comes to basic usability. On another note, tried the combat shotgun on a level 15ish veteran, did not really like it, I heard in the closed beta the shotgun was like a real shotgun and could snipe while punching through the horde, but seems since then they turned it into a videogame shotgun and you'll tickle anything beyond a melee range meatshot, I just had to sit back and let the teammates clear crowds of gunners and on higher difficulties crowds of gunners are very common in every room.

I wasn't really paying attention to the medicae dialog until it was discussed here and man is it grim. After the last medicae heal is used up the servo goes "I have no purpose, I have no purpose..."

Broken Cog posted:Here's an annoying this about the current bar system: Which one of these do you think do the most damage per shot? This poo poo is confusing but I understand what the devs did. Those are 2 different lasgun types, so they don't share base stats. So you can infer that the la Infantry variant does more base damage than the IV Infantry variant, so even on the 25 percentile of damage this gun does more. Its stupid because you are often trying to compare different marks or entirely different weapons and theres virtually no way to know what the actual difference is.

I know it’s not very shotgun like but you have to click heads with it. Doing that still reliably one-shots many specials at long, long ranges.

I'd enjoy some kind of tourist mode so I could just wander around the map and look at all the details and the backdrops, which is hard to do when my face is getting caved in by two maulers.

You can't just stand still off to the side while in melee. Veterans make me face palm a lot in general because they'll roll around wasting ammo in random groups of one to 5 mooks they could easily smoke in melee by themselves and then complain about ammo. I have met maybe a handful of legitimately good vet players so far and it's easy to tell because they don't waste ammo or complain about LoS while I'm soloing an entire horde and just jump in with their shovel.

Vets are encouraged to stick to ranged despite this very much still beint a game about melee with half the classes basically being melee focused meaning you'll have plenty of friendly fire from bad pubs.

So since this is a pre-order beta, can I make a refund request on it, even if I've passed the 4 hour refund mark? Tired of trying to get this to run and don't think it will end up working, by release.

Jerkface posted:Honestly have not been impressed at all by any Accatran I've pulled. I have tried 2 Mk VI d accatran's, and one with a 91 round mag and it just took sooooooooo long to kill any specials or elites. The iron sights on it suck rear end too. Yeah I dont even have one with any special talents on it, it just reliably 3 shots any flak armored guys. Cutting through a massive wave of 20 shooters and their 3 gunner supports on a single magazine very much justifies the tradeoff in damage i think. It melts maulers fast and has the accuracy to vaporize snipers with like 2 rounds from everywhere. Maybe mine just has way better rolls than yours. I got off the bolter because it felt too uncomfortable conpared to the VId.

And yeah I'd say as a veteran with a balanced team sometimes more important than sniping specials is normal shooter supression because the squads get huge and once your shield is gone they can stunlock the whole team. Accatran is a great lmg because it has the firerate and ammo to supress huge squads and kill them accurately at the same time, even when youre suprresed it probaboy has the best chance of counterkilling a gunner locking you down.

I would use the bolter if it had a larger mag size. The 15 round mag is way too small, although I need to try it now that I have the reload when I use volley fire when things really get hairy.

I think its a good balance at least, its great but the drawbacks feel fair, it doesnt overshadow other options as bad as say the power sword and double handed chainsword do.

Re veterans wasting ammo, genuinely I only ever pull it out for elites, specials, and shooters, i feel like gunner needs ammo pickups the least out of the classes if you do that, and youre good enough in melee normal hordes dont need gunfire to deal with.

Yeah, this is huge for both range and melee. Stopping bad dudes from shooting you and your team is super important, whether that's by engaging in melee or suppressing them. I think it's one of the main skills newbies are going to have to learn.

Depends on the weapon and the rest of your team too. The laser machine gun hits hard enough and has enough ammo to be useful clearing hordes, I've had veterans use it during horde events in wide open areas to basically handle a horde on their own Honestly I'd rather they do that, I can pop all the special heads between brain burst and a rifle just fine

"I solo da entire horde", says the Ogryn, knocking down a half dozen pox walkers with a charge. "I'm da biggest!", Shouts the Ogryn, as his teammates follow behind him and kill the five enemies he charged but did not kill, because charge does not kill the enemies it knocks down. "I'm da best!", the Ogryn calls over his shoulder, oblivious. (Seeing an Ogryn charge through a legitimate wall of pox walkers IS one of Darktide's better spectacles.)

I already have a somewhat concerning amount of hours in the game, but I have yet to see a single special marked (except the 1-2 times I had a Veteran with the "Ultimate spots for the whole team" feat). Has anybody actually seen another party member's special mark outside of a stack? Because while my expectations for matchmaking a low, it feels more like it might legitimately be bugged.
