I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

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

My mouse doesn't have an M5 key (or even an M4) which is what they defaulted special attack to so I have had a time figuring out the best button set up to actually activate things reliably. Glad I didn't have your bug while I was doing that!

Unsurprisingly, the Floorgyn is not particularly effective of a strategy.

Im in the lucky minority that can run this on ultra without FPS dipping sub 60 even with the beta chugging around 20 FPS at lowest settings, and with no crashes no less! Game is absolutely gorgeous and the core gameplay is still good blasting fun.

I've noticed that the graphics settings really don't matter as much as you might think. I went from about 80-120 FPS on the High settings (with the occasional dip) to 90-130 on Low. I'm tempted to just play on High, since the gains from dropping down are so minimal.

New Nvidia drivers out.

Edit: They improved my performance significantly. Still can't use RTX on my 3070, but now I can max everything else without issue.

Wow the starting Ogryn shotgun is trash.

It's good at making enemies fall down on their asses, but not much else. I've tried out all of his ranged options, and my favorite at this point is the Heavy Stubber, despite its ineffectiveness at long range.

An espionage mission finally rotated in on Malice, which is the final time of mission I need to do for a penance, and it refused to matchmake me with anyone and I wiped 3 times trying it with bots before it rotated back out.

Have they elaborated on how the cosmetic shop is going to work? The Imperial Edition came with 2500 credits which is enough to buy one of the fancy costumes but I don't see it explained in-game how that works. There's a timer that lasts a bit over a week, once that runs out do those costumes go to another section of the store at higher price? Gone and replaced with a new set of costumes?

Also giving me 2500 credits and making the costumes 2400 isn't going to make me spend more to add to my remaining 100 and get something else, gently caress off with that Diablo Immortal poo poo.

Wasn't impressed with the lightning hammer until I started spamming the heavy attack over and over. Ragdolling poxwalkers left and right then activating the hammer and charging in to one-shot a special has made the Zealot my new favorite class.

Totally this. I was loving the Catachan machetes, and the chainswords really didn’t click at all with me. Thunder hammer is great though. Heavy swings with side dodges and pushes can control an infinite number of poo poo tier enemies, and blowing up heads with a lightning shot is always great. The real question then becomes what gun do you use? Flamer is insane in its niche. Autoguns are alright for medium range or Scarface poo poo. The lasgun has been my standby for a while, one and two shot headshots against most specials. Just picked up a high rating bolt gun though, and the damage seems nuts.

I'm using the bolter, though I was also liking the revolver a lot before then. It's a great complement but you have to consider all of your actions ahead of time, having to pull the bolt back every time you switch means it's a bad choice if you need to kill something quickly (and I'm not sure it really makes sense from a gun mechanics perspective). Revolver was better for quick swapping to kill something at distance in a pinch but it felt underpowered compared to the bolter, has less ammo and an even longer reload time. Might have just been that the revolver I had wasn't great, I'm still only doing haz 3 with green/blue weapons at level 16 and don't really have a complete built with any character yet.

Proper hammer use requires you to 1) keep your swing at head height and 2) learn to time your heavy attacks so you’re swinging back and forth like a reaper harvesting corn, knocking enemies off their feet just as they get back up. That, and get really smooth about timing your charge so you can turn on a dime and smush elites and specialists.

ogryn is fun but they just don't really feel like they have any real stand out weapons the way the other classes do

the mk3 knife is pretty good, the heavy stubber, ripper, and grenade launcher are fine, but there's no clear overpowered weapon like the power sword or whatever

It looks to me that the offerings will not be available until the next time they cycle back into the shop. It's sort of like a fake fomo, because they will be available again, just who knows when.

I maxed height slider on vet and psyker and minimum for ogyn and zealot, I figured if the height had a ingame difference then I'd want to be as small as possible on the frontline melee and as big as possible to line up a headshot on a approaching horde and not have it curve into the ceiling.

The big problem with the Ogryn is that he has no good long-range options, which I guess is for balance reasons. Those ranged grunts are the bane of my existence, especially when they're far away and my teammates aren't taking them out for whatever reason.

also something that should be immediately obvious to anyone paying the slightest amount of attention but didn’t register for me: if you’re mashing the quickplay button then the pool of levels you’re drawing from are only the levels of the difficulty you picked already generated by the board, it won’t spontaneously generate a random mission for you. since missions don’t rotate every 30 minutes like deep rock galactic, if you just leave it on 3 and let it ride, THAT’S why you’re seeing the smelter mission 80 times in a row

I think its just based on your level, as regardless of equipping items I saw higher power level stuff in the shops. I spent like 10 levels with the same 2 blue weapons, only ever upgrading my Curios, and saw steady progression.

I gotta say, I really dislike their mission board, both from a gameplay perspective of trying to find the mission you want to do/has the modifiers you want at the difficulty you want to do it and the immersion ruining perspective of it pointing to the exact same mission in 4 different locations on the big holo-map.

Yeah, it's something that's going on on that level. I have the same card and resolution and ran into the same thing tonight. I asked my team if it was bad for them and all said yes.

I noticed a similar thing on another level (the one where you go up quite a few flights of stairs in a metal tower early on that can be kind of rough).

I think it's an issue with volumetric fog and ray traced lighting nearby.

I updated my drivers and then went to NVIDIA's optimizations for Darktide and followed their suggestions. They downgraded my settings for pretty much everything, they made the game look noticably worse, and they dropped my 30-mid40 FPS to an unplayable 15-25. I missed melee hits mid swing. Reset everything to default settings, and it worked again.

I found that on my 1080ti and really poo poo processor I can get around 30-60 FPS through most levels, but playing as psyker with all the warp poo poo overlaying on the screen tanks all my FPS and makes me feel like it is very prone to crashing. I stuttered while crouched on a window in the metal fab and it launched me 20 feet out the window into a bottomless pit

I have a 1060 3 gb gpu on 1920x1080 and can get ok fps 30s or so except for the hab block level. Lighting setting are all low. So far haven't had a crash and made it to level 9 as a zelot.
