Yeah if their discord is insufferable now I couldn't imagine the implosion if they decided now they had to wipe progress for something.

Something is definitely going on with special spawns on Malice. I don't know if it's intentional or not but drat. EDIT: This feels a bit like that VT2 bug where it just doubled all special spawns for some reason.

I've got like 30+ hours into my Ogryn and I love him but I couldn't care less if they wiped and restarted at this point. None of this is actually difficult to reproduce in a similar amount of time.

Getting into a flow state where you're split-second considering the best order to address tons of priority targets and having it go off successfully as a team is probably the most satisfying thing I've ever felt in a co-op game. I have no doubt a large part of it being fun is because I have a full group of friends I play with consistently and we all have the same kind of broken brain, but I love this poo poo. This is why you play co-op shooters in general and *Tide games specifically. edit: I can see it might not work with random internet strangers tho

The problem I'm running into with pub teams is people not watching their backs. Sometimes I'll be standing at the back, I can hear a trapper or a hound or a burster coming, or there's a little mob of dregs on our tail, and I'll pause to clear them off so we aren't getting pincered, and when I turn around the rest of my team are half a mile ahead. And if I don't do that, and try and stick to the middle of the pack, then none of my teammates ever look behind them and suddenly we're caught between a rock and a hard place.

The_White_Crane posted:The problem I'm running into with pub teams is people not watching their backs. This is the essential problem that occurred in VT 1 and 2 really. There are a couple of compounding problems here - it looks like enemies will basically stick to your back when you're facing away from them, so in addition to having a faster movement speed to the characters enemies do cheat a bit to catch up. The other issue that's unique to DT is that in VT your ranged weapons served two purposes when you weren't wasting ammo - dumpstering specials and killing stragglers. Here, ranged weapons have more than two roles (the two above, plus suppression and counter-range) so there's a lot of competition for that headspace. I keep my head on a swivel and regularly get surrounded I can't imagine what happens to people with no spatial awareness. EDIT: quote:
This is one of the reasons why modifiers are so critical though and where the contracts or whatever they were called in VT2 failed - additional difficulty can be fun and is fun but it needs to be something you can opt into. "Endless Hoard" is a fun modifier but it should be something you toggle, not the default state for what amounts to the entry level end game content.

I have been really enjoying playing, but man Endless Hordes needs to go. It's the only modifier rn and it just makes Malice completely unfun.

I think if you were to make a team of the same class, the ranking would go veteran > psyker > zealot > ogyn, had a 4 veteran group and it was just smooth sailing through a t3 endless horde with half close range guns half sniper guns and a lot of power sword cleaving.

I don't know if its just luck of the draw or the last patch that really did fix some stability issues. Used to actually crash/gpu hang every mission or two, but was able to complete a 2 hour session without issue just now. Edit: Does character level have any effect on character damage in darktide, like hero power in V2? That is to say with the same 150 power weapon, will you do more damage per hit as a level 20 than a level 10 against a malice mauler?

Yeah, I'd also like to know if character level makes a difference in that regard. Other than that, the only way to objectively improve your character is by buying higher-rated weapons at the Armoury Exchange, right? And I guess weapons can be upgraded at the Shrine of the Omnimessiah? Basic questions, but I'm still figuring things out e: the shrine is saying I need 50 ???

I've seen no statement from FS on it. It seems logical that they would just port over the same system but

I think no one has done real testing about it but I guess it's something similar to the formula Vermintide uses in that level is a multiplier for your damage. Don't know if it's real or just coincidence but i feel my weapons did more damage after levelling up, not enough to be really sure about it.

big cummers ONLY posted:I need to watch some streamers for a little bit to get better. Sometimes it's very clear that I go down because I made a mistake, but other times it just feels like my team is not providing support or targeting the right things. Like if I have a horde locked down as zealot and there's 20 guys out of my range shooting me, and my team isn't occupied, they should be suppressing the shooters, right? I feel like instead 99% of the time they are mag dumping into the horde while I get cut to ribbons because the ranged units have free reign to go ham. Maybe it's my fault for assuming the sharpshooter will even be paying attention to where ranged fire is coming from. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong with my positioning. do not worry about other players. adjust your own play. if you're running solo into a horde, and it kills you, do not do that.

there needs to be a force sword that applies Soulburn, not because it would be the best sword or anything but because it would be metal as gently caress e: make it a more hordeclearing type of force sword or whatever, I don't even care I just want to hit dudes with a sword that makes them burn you know?

This isn't what I'm doing, the solution I'm thinking of is to wait for ranged to get overwhelmed and then engage because then maybe they'll switch to melee. If I engage in melee and tar pit enemies, my team is either going to continue killing things I'm already killing, or run off to find glory elsewhere. I think I just need to let them take damage.

Aw shoot, I think they stealth nerfed the Eviscerator against carapace armor - you can't one shot Crushers anymore with a revved up ult heavy, at least on Heresy. To be fair though, that probably had to be done

I mean yeah that's kind of what I'm doing too. I basically just switch to ranged, take cover, and take potshots at the enemy ranged units same as the vets. If we get swamped by minions in melee, I either try to stay behind cover or withdraw to a doorway or something and if my team can't figure it out than gently caress em frankly.

150 diawhatever and 400 plaststeel for blue to purple, phew. I know you're not supposed to be upgrading guns to orange every five minutes but given how absolutely wild 4 and 5 get, where presumably the really good resource drops are, I definitely don't want to be combing every box on those difficulties and asking for three more hordes and six specials.

I hope malice has more to incentivize people playing it more because the extra dockets is not enough to deal with some of the ridiculous stuff malice drops on you sometimes Bought a blue slab shield to try it out, wasnt a huge fan - the level up reward for trying it out on a mission, was a purple slab shield with pretty good stats (10% dmg vs maniacs 10% dmg vs flak; +toughness on chained hits) so I guess now im a slab guy.
