Post? What post? Oh wow.
I had nothing to do with THAT.
I wanted to like the Judge, but their whole shtick is not fun at all. I made mine with the female Agitator voice, and the flavor of pinched nobility just tickled me greatly.

When she sing-songs about having just taken out a Poxburster cemented it for me.

The female one is funny because it sounds like someone suffering from a debilitating case of social anxiety trying to spit fire.

I have previously said that the Zealot Judge is the worst voice in Darktide. This remains true. However I should specify that the female Judge voice is hilarious.
I went with a female Judge and while I agree that she has some good lines (I like the one where she tries to get everyone to sing along with her to no avail :v:) the other two archetypes crack me up way more. I'm hoping Fatshark adds the ability to switch voicesets (or heck, allow us to switch everything including gender) because I'd love to switch to the Agitator.

She sounds like a gamer trying to trash talk, like the way someone might yell "GET hosed" in a silly deep voice in an online game. It's great. I don't know if that was the intention at all, but it's great.

I'm hoping there will be a way for me to change some of my character options after launch. I really want to change the voice of my Zealot without having to grind up another character. I honestly went into the beta thinking that we weren't going to be keeping these characters and, well, :v:

I need to change it to the dude who doesn't realize he's a Khorne worshipper

I don't care how lore inaccurate it would be or whatever, I want an option to change the color of my team's lasers to blue on my screen so I can tell them apart from enemy lasers.


I also hope they add the coherency pips back to the UI. It was weird that they were in the previous beta but then removed and replaced with a generic buff icon in this one.

I also hope we can rename our characters. I was just messing around expecting a wipe, so I named my characters after British tanks. Granted, Matilda for the Veteran and Tog for the Ogryn are great, but I wouldn't mind changing Crusader for my Zealot. It fits, but doesn't really have enough zazz.

There's a timer on the launcher but presume increased launch day traffic will bring stability issues.

As of right now the timer reads 15 hours, or 1 pm EST.

Cease your slander of yon blessed Eviscerator, knave. Get one with a high Mobility score and the Rev It Up trait and you can sprint around at Doom 2 speed chopping dudes in half with one swing. It is addictingly fun and effective.

Use your push and attack into it.

It’s not a dodge weapon it’s a bully a crowd and then cut their faces off weapon.

Push attack, heavy swing, push attack, heavy swing, BLOOD FOR THE EMPEROR, SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE

The only time I really dodge is if I desperately need to rev before going in on an elite of some sort

e: Actually what the gently caress does this game even define as specialists, elites, etc?

Elite is anything that can be tagged that isn't a specialist, specialists are the disablers or area denial enemies that tend to spawn with loud cues and callouts that usually have 1:1 crossover with vermintide or left4dead specials.

So what is the max rating you've seen for weapons you can buy at the Armoury Exchange? I'm level 29, and the rating for gear available at the store seems to be around 400, maybe slightly below it (obviously I can't check right now).

If I understand correctly, there's no point in upgrading an item at the Shrine of the Omnissiah until you're level 30, since it would quickly become obsolete as you gain more levels?

This sort of helps I guess? I never played either of those so that distinction doesn't really do me much good tbh

elites are like "scab shotgunner" where it's a normal mob but worse

specialists are the ones that do something different and will gently caress up your poo poo (pox burster, doggos, netboi, etc.)

The Bully Club has a decent attack combo, but its damage output is limited. Good low-level beginner weapon.

I've heard good things about the Shovel, but I haven't tried it myself yet.

If you go for a Cleaver, make sure it's the Bull Butcher, which has two consecutive horizontal swings on its light attacks, making it great against hordes. The other Cleavers are garbage, especially the Krourk Mk IV.

Bolter's one of the best balanced of the ranged weapons I feel like, along with plasma. They have real power but also real drawbacks that make you reconsider taking them over more versatile options, unlike say the melee where the best weapons are pretty much in tiers of their own.
