Finally got a mission in Throneside and woooooow thats a fantastic level.

The only thing that legit 100% annoys me right now is that penances are per-character so if I want to save up I'm basically forced to play a single character the whole week. Even Destiny 2 doesn't do this anymore. Ah well.

They seem to show their Pick up icon a lot easier than the grims if you are looking at them, that's the best you get I think.

"Pick up 9 grimoires"

When that feature was first introduced I accidentally replaced "kill 5 monstrosities" with "collect 7 scriptures." (I wanted to see if it replaced everything or just one.) I replaced the collect scriptures and got "collect 12 scriptures." I replaced it again and got "collect 17 scriptures" or some other obscene number. I couldn't afford to replace it a fourth time.

Gotta say that the new stat page for weapons is fantastic, huge props to whoever they put to work on that.
Still can't find crit chance though.

I have a theory that this is one of the main reasons for why there's so few Ogryns around.

I thought the starting Ogryn shotgun was decent, definitely not good compared to what you get after but it wasn't bad at exploding packs of dudes from close to mid range before you whip out the club and start whacking.

My extremely cynical take is that we're not gonna get subclasses at all. We're getting completely new characters, which means having to level from scratch, and having to buy new cosmetics.
It really feels like that's the direction they're taking this game, to me.

Also in truly dark world, gives chance to sell character slots.

I like it, it doesn't have a lot of killing power but is really precise and whatever you hit with it you will knock it down on the ground. All those elites running at your group that no one bothers to tag or kill, one shot at them and they fall to the ground giving time for someone to notice it and kill it or just go yourself and bonk it in the head.

When you're inspecting your weapon (hold X), you can move your mouse back and forth, and your character will rotate it around. Works with everything, even your hands if you're playing Psyker.
Find it kinda funny that they put in custom animations for this, since I doubt many people know it exists.

Could a willing team hang out at the end of the mission for 5 minutes? Don't do this without asking first, of course.

Psyker starts with a laspistol, which is extremely good though? Especially as a standoff weapon. They get access to staffs pretty quickly now too.

Granted, there's really no excuse for the autopistol. Even at high level it's still trash.

They make a whispery/wheezy noise you can hear through walls when you're close, that's how I've been finding them.

Kaddish posted:

I recently tried the Kickback again now that I'm level 30 and it's fun but whle it's good at staggering most enemies it doesn't stop Chargers or Bursters so you might as well keep on using the Stubber to kill those or damage them before they reach your team.

The kill XXX with melee/ranged are bugged as hell. I did one mission with killing dregs and for 110 kills, did another mission with them in it and it didn't give me credit for any of them.

Not being able to see if the mission contains them before hand also sucks.

I've noticed on more than one occasion that they refer to a Valkyrie as a Storm Raptor. Which is odd because afaik there's nothing called a Storm Raptor in 40k, so I'm not sure where that came from.

If you do it with your frag grenade out (Vet only unfortunately) you have like a 20% chance to spin the pin around which is a pretty cute little detail :3:

i just assumed that "Storm Raptor" is the name of the vessel. the pilot is excellent, so maybe it's customized in some way to suit her needs.

Yeah, in practice it really seems the sort of thing where you need to devote like half a run for it just waiting as the psyker brainbursts every enemy in the first area one by one.

It's doubly annoying because the warp charge mechanic isn't even good. At max charges you get some 12% damage bonus that in practice hardly ever actually changes the breakpoints for the number of hits to kill. And even with the later feats you just get some disappointing damage over time or just alright cooldown reduction out of it. Now if the bonus was actually something practically noticeable like a perils reduction or boost to warp attacks charge speed it might be a different thing, but as it stands I 100% cannot be arsed to try and keep the charges up on purpose.

I think I'd hate it way more if the effect was meaningful enough that you really want to keep it going and feel like poo poo when it drops. Better than you can just pretend it doesn't exist and not have any issues.

very technically on the second column there’s a 6% peril reduction per warp charge (24% altogether which is nothing to sneeze at) that i’ve been using, the alternatives being extra force weapon damage that seems good but i think it *only* applies to charged strikes, or something soulblaze related that’s pretty weak unless it got rebalanced

I had a bug where I changed the melee weapon activation key and it didn't work. Yes I made sure to check for dupes. I changed it back to default and then remade my change multiple times today and it only just now worked the way I want

What a weird bug. And a pretty lovely one when that melee weapon is a power sword
