I switched to this for difficulty 4, and while I love the random warp charges, the increased uptime for class ability is a life-saver. I run the dagger, due to having a bleed stack one but mentally it is much straining to have both weapons for quelling.

Does weapon level really matter as you're leveling up? I don't really want to waste money on getting a new eviscerator if this old one works fine.

Power level is a combination of the amount of stats distributed between the bars, and any perks and blessings add to the power total as well. So theoretically you could have an early white that just has better base stats than a blue you picked up, but generally speaking if you're at least 2 levels up from when you picked up a weapon anything you find is gonna be an upgrade, especially if it's the exact same weapon type.

MuffinsAndPie posted:Does weapon level really matter as you're leveling up? I don't really want to waste money on getting a new eviscerator if this old one works fine. AFAIK every weapon has a baseline damage value that is increased by the bars. Every item level you see on the vendor / equipment screen is a combination of all the bars put together. A level 30 weapon has longer bars than a level 1 one by design, so you kinda wanna upgrade when you can to reach those crucial breakpoints. The gearing in this feels pretty bad, but im sure it will improve with the full release. e: beaten but yeah, higher level = bigger bars = more goodness

For crowd control I’ve found myself preferring the normal chainsword over the eviscerator, mostly because how much faster attacks come out. Possibly biased by my chainsword having +15% cleave on hit stacking 5 times. Thing is a hot knife through butter.

I think the level of new drops is determined by the highest level thing you own (don't have to be using it, just need to have it in your inventory) so you should periodically buy things that are 20+ points higher than whatever you currently have in order to keep the numbers pumping up. A bit like how it is in Destiny 2.

Broadly you're almost certainly going to end up replacing everything many times once you're 30 so I would probably recommend being fairly liberal with your normal currency and save your crafting mats if you wanna be frugal.

Buy weapons to check if you like them while you're leveling imo, they're gonna be much more expensive at 30.

Internet Explorer posted:Anyone else been getting held up at the loading/dropship screen lately? Kind of annoying. Feels new since the patch. Im pretty sure it just holds up the dropship until the slowest loader loads. So if you get someone that crashes or is playing on an Amiga 500 it can take ages. You can tell who it is because theyll be either replaced by a bot, or take way longer to start moving too. They need to add some kind of progress indicator to the load screen like DRG has; like have teh convict portraits on screen with a load bar or percentage or something.

Weapon traits (Blessings IIRC) are so much spicier in this one compared to VT, I can imagine some real fun stuff once people get to building their weapons. I can also imagine the final difficulty being tailored for "perfect" gear. Probably would piss off a lot of more casual players, but eh, I'm fine with design like that as long as there's a tier but great but not perfectly-optimized gear.

Ah, sustained fire only refreshes the ammo on the plasma gun, it doesn't reset your heat, counter fire seems like the go to option for that tier of skill then.

In V2 the highest difficulty level does require some amount of care with itemization, spec, and team comp, but I hear it's still puggable if everyone is on their game. At any rate the second-hardest difficulty is extremely forgiving about all that so you can play off-meta and suboptimally. I'm hoping it looks similar in Darktide.

Chain axe is the best, actually. At least the one I have is because it's +4 stamina and its light attacks rend and are armour piercing while it's heavies don't get stuck and are a serviceable sweep. Think of it as a weapon made for having energy legs more often and being able to block way more E: I've actually found that every weapon is good in its own way as long as you change how you play to account for the weapon. Except the heavy sword, that thing is awful. Serdain fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Nov 26, 2022 |

Which ranged weapon would you guys recommend for the Ogryn? I've been using the starting Kickback, but it performs really poorly against ranged enemies, especially when there are a lot of them.

I am absolutely loving the combat knife. Once I found out that charging the heavy stab while sprinting actually gives you a speed boost, I've just started sprinting at gunners instead of slowly pulling out my bolter lol. The bolter is just so powerful, even with the half an hour long reload or switching to it so slowly. Haven't got a plasma gun yet, but I can't see using anything else for a while.

I hate all of the Ripper guns but they're probably the strictly best Ogryn option for ranged [thing] deletion. The twin-linked stubba is immensely satisfying but as you might expect the ammo economy isn't great and outside of about ten feet you need to be firing off tiny bursts or it'll eventually just make the bullets go into another dimension after you hold the trigger long enough.

I like the ripper on the Ogryn, feels great. Especially when you successfully track a mutant or dog running past you with the three round burst. Best shooting feel in the game for me so far. Haven't levelled up enough to try all the options though.

Looks like I need a trust level of 14 to buy one, that'll give me something to work towards Rippergun should be available pretty early, they made some of the other weapons available around 10 or so too now. Grenadier gauntlet is great too since it allows you to deal with stuff at range, and specials, much easier Meleewise I don't think theres really a meta other than Slab shield being a very common pick but I personally don't like it since the times I want to slowly wade into gunfire with a shield in front are pretty rare. The other options give you way more visibility and mobility in melee. Then again I havent played above Malice yet. Fishstick fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Nov 26, 2022 |

Having just hit 30 on Ogryn as the only class I've played in the beta, ranged weapon choices seem straightforward. Grenade Gauntlet: Tired of armored targets and those pesky specials getting ignored by your teammates as they blast you? Grenade them. Bonus points if you like the bleed talent and just want to murder single targets high hp up close without having to use any actual grenades. Also using a high level one the higher bars of Blast Radius really let you CC entire groups of ranged minions at a distance with a single nade, it's fantastic. Heavy Stubber: so you want to clear hordes and gun patrols? Here's your dakka, way more efficient at range than the ripper, and even just 2 bullets clipping Dredge shooters will gib them, with a couple more needed for Scabs. Has a long rear end reload to go with its huge rear end mag size, but tbh I'm not sure what others say about it being ammo inefficient, I've pretty much never run out of bullets. Not worth shooting Crushers with ever though, and the special attack might as well not exist. Ripper: tbh I think this is a good intermediate gun till you get the heavy stubber if you want horde clear and to evaporate gun patrols asit sort of does both jobs of the weapons above in different, slightly less effective ways. Way less ammo efficient than the stubber but arguably comparable in terms of horde clearing but you won't be doing it nearly as far or for extended periods. Fine to suppress gun patrols with but you aren't gonna be clearing them out if they're 20m out or more, don't expect any significant kills till you get closer. You can't whip it out quite as often for literally every horde like you can with the stubber, but it's much better at killing high health targets and the special attack (especially with a unique blessing later on that gives it Rending) is great for apply bleed with the relevant feat on high health, high armor targets. If you want to be able to hold your own against gun patrols though, go with the stubber. Still think it's a good intermediate role between the above weapons. Thumper: I need to buy one to try, haven't had a chance. Looks like a lot of fun and still pretty effective.

The Stubber basically turns an Ogryn into the Heavy from TF2, it's probably my favourite of his guns, though the grenadier gauntlet is most likely better on the highest difficulties where deleting specials is key. The melee on the gauntlet is so bad though, don't ever use it over a normal melee weapon if you can help it.

Gay Rat Wedding posted:What is the magical correct number of worker threads to use for an i7-8700? (6 cores, 12 logical processors) Probably 6 but it's kind of hard to tell. High counts seem to cause problems, setting it to the number of physical cores generally seems to give the best performance from what I've tried. Game still kind of runs poorly no matter what even after upgrading from a 1070 to 3070 but lowering the worker threads at least made it playable. Hoping they do a lot of work on performance post-launch, or they have some kind of miracle tweak which will fix things between now and the official launch.

Evil Kit posted:Having just hit 30 on Ogryn as the only class I've played in the beta, ranged weapon choices seem straightforward. To this I would add, for the benefit of babby Ogryns : that lovely shotgun we start with ? First of all, it's not so lovely. Yes, it does take ages to reload. It is known. But up close, it murks EVERYTHING in a geyser of gore. And even at range, it makes most everyone fall on their rear end which saves collective bacons. But you knew that much. Here's the big secret : that alt-fire melee swing ? That's the only real cleave thing you're going to have for... ever, maybe ? I'm not 100% sure, haven't tried every Ogryn melee weapon yet. And it's... actually really good ? It's a little slow, but it FUCKS UP hordes, especially if you swing it at head-height. And sure, the Ripper does more damage more faster and gives you range... until it's empty. It takes glacial aeons to reload - hell it even slows down your movement while you're doing it. And until you do that, you're stuck with a one-target bayonet (which seems to pierce, so maybe you can do Stuff with proper fiddly positioning). Me, I'd stick with the club-slash-shotty until unlocking Our Lord And Savior the twin-linked heavy stubber. Get yourself some melee weapon that's better'n the starter club (which is any, really) and you're good to go.
