So the full game is out now? Are there colorful, vibrant maps they were hiding in the betas?

I dunno about colorful but less grey at least. I suspect the Nurgle garden art will show up as the story goes on during their apparent seasonal plans.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

The new patch is awesome. The toughness fix meant I ran through a malice mission on my Vet and took 0 health damage the entire time. The performance is MUCH smoother. Was running pretty smoothly at 50-60 FPS on my 1080 on low @ 2560x1440

There are two pretty cool desert maps and an upper hive map that's a fancy city street. Plus a desert map and a spaceport train map they added right at the tail end of the beta.

They're all significantly nicer than the maps from early in the beta, and have some interesting setpiece fights. I would not describe them as colorful or vibrant but they are a nice departure from dank sewers, run-down slums, and oppressive factories.

That usually isn't a big issue, 3-4 of the same class can work so long as you don't completely lack anyone who can kill at range.

i was a psyker with three ogryn on a malice mission yesterday and we just walked through the whole drat map. all i had to do was pop elite heads and yeet fireballs into crowds' heads, ez pz

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

My friend and I were ogryn and we matched with another ogryn and a level 1 psyker. We never left their side and kept calling them boss and smart man. They never responded but we had fun

Yeah me too. I think people were lamenting the loss of hardline roles early on but it's taken the "stress" out of playing in a group because nobody has to play the role they always play.

im resigned to never getting the veteran ones because i dont want to shoot my gun with 100% accuracy and zero bullets left

FWIW, the easiest way to do this is do a mission where the end goal is assassination of a heretic sergeant or whatever. Don't shoot your gun during the mission until the very end, then dump all your bullets into this guy's shield, which has a gigantic hitbox. It's actually not that bad, the only thing that can really goof this up is an elite spawning and getting killed by your team during the fight, which will give you some extra ammo you need to dump as well

not being able to switch classes on the mission start screen could possibly make sense, there's probably something about having to reload all the assets involved with the character from the one you're sitting around in the mission hub with. i'm just glad they implemented being able to switch gear there at least.

Also, chucking lots of grenades at the dude helps a ton because it's a low mental bandwidth way to deal with all of his trash. I find he's easiest when three things happen:

Grenades deal with the trash so everyone can focus on him.
Someone gets him to engage in melee while:
Other people pour indiscriminate fire into his buble, trading accuracy for DPS.

Like, even as a Zealot I'd shoot the buble because the DPS on auto guns and pistols is pretty high when you're only limited by your literal rate of fire. And then you can save your Zealot Charge or Marksman Mark for when the buble pops.

Same. Also so far I feel like every class is pretty fun so it would help me choose what to pick.

Being able to change gear pre-mission is good but I'd like the ready screen to show my team's ranged weapons instead of their melee ones. Much more important to know what range their guns can fight from so I can balance it out if needed.

Let the babies do most of the work IMO. I'd be more worried about boring yourself. Even Malice feels durdling and boring to me at 30.

Any word on if the toughness > 100 = bonus damage bug?

This. When I'm 30ing with pugs on 2 skull, I mostly just make sure they get kills and don't die

I keep trying to switch from melee to ranged with my mouse wheel and I end up accidentally throwing my grenades so I may as well not have them.

You'll unbind mousewheel the first time you accidentally switch to a grimoire and toss it, instead of using your expected melee weapon.

DRG has been my 4-player coop of choice for a while now. I'm loving Darktide so far, but I do have to say...

Not having a "Press V to praise the God Emperor" mechanic is a major missed opportunity imho.

Gotta say, after the few weeks with beta testing and release, I'm still not sold on the voices/dialogue. The characters are not meant to hang around with each other after each missing, so there's never any character building, and every conversation is just either some of the classes bickering over certain stereotypes of their archetype, or randomly discussing some 40k factoid.

I miss the personality of the characters in VT, and I still don't feel letting you create your own characters was worth losing out on having a developing cast like that.

I think the fact that the characters do all the arguing for you cuts a lot of it down in this game. If someone is hogging all the ammo the other characters will call them out on it, and they'll retort with something about how they need it more because they're better with guns or whatever, and it's all in-character, in-universe dialog that helps cut down the tension.

I was super glad to have multiple voices per class but now I think they should have just said "seven voices, all distinct characters". It'd only be two more than vermin tide has and yeah the cracks are already real thin on this on Oblivion-rear end dialogue.
