I have a weakness for the amount of mobility a dueling sword gives the psyker. It's really zippy the amount of slide you can do while doing the 'tide horde foursquare.

It just feels perfect to be as mobile and lethal as it allows. The Force Sword is nifty, but it's not my play style at all.

There are times where this game just absolutely nails it. You hit those perfect runs where poo poo is crazy and you just barely make it out with your lives. Even with all the warts, those runs make it all worth it. If they can get some of the other poo poo out of the way so I can enjoy more of those runs, I'm going to be putting in a ridiculous amount of hours into this game.

The devs really love their pox hounds. Not only are at least two missions tagged with the Hunting Grounds flag for extra hounds, there's also a global condition for extra pox hounds on every map. I still haven't even seen a map with the flag for dark conditions.

Is that what the gently caress is going on? I got out of a crazy Heresy mission a few mins ago and I was literally using the flamethrower against hounds they were coming in so thick. I commented in chat at one point, "did a hound make this map?" That and whatever modifier was causing hordes to just constantly slow trickle in from behind was brutal.

ZombyDog posted:I pug Malice and I thought I'd try the grenade perks including giving the bleed on grenade feat a spin, was like oh yeah, I'm not getting enough nades for me to spam but that's probably because it's only Malice and the Elite count is still fairly low, and then went back to the psykhanium and saw that the bleed feat it does sweet gently caress all for damage. So yeah, of course I'm going to use Sniper, Bio-optic Targeting and Deadshot with my Kantrael mk XII or Accatan mk II that sets thing on fire with crits. It sounds pretty niche on paper but there are definitely times I appreciate/miss the massively increased horde clear.

 Which perk should I refine? It's for Zealot and I mostly pull it out to mag dump into Crushers and Bulwarks, occasionally sniping shooters.

I asked someone who's been diving into the code and apparently when "nearby" or "close range" is referenced in blessings and such it's 15 meters.

Insert name here posted:You actually need to check your contracts after finishing them all to get credited for the 1k bonus for some reason! It's really obvious if you pay attention to how much melkcoins you have you'll notice it jumps up by 1k the moment you check on your contracts. Similarly, unless it got fixed in the latest patch, you also need to check it at the start of a new week before you'll start getting credited with progress toward any contracts. Edit: skaianDestiny posted:I asked someone who's been diving into the code and apparently when "nearby" or "close range" is referenced in blessings and such it's 15 meters. If so, that would make autoguns with the "immunity to ranged for 0.X seconds after a close range kill" super potent. I haven't really given them a shot, so can anybody else confirm?

IIRC it's not actual immunity to ranged damage it's instead they lose tracking of you as if you dodged. Still pretty powerful if you keep moving.

I got one from an Emp gift with 20% flak / 20% unyielding to go with the close range immunity, and combined with highlighting shooters/refreshing on shooter kill for volley fire, and 75% ranged DR during volleyfire, you basically become Doomguy even without perfect rolls. Toughness over time from elite kills on top of that and if you play even semi-competently it's pretty easy to keep yourself topped off while you murder every single elite on screen. Running malice with it to get crafting mats just feels like bullying.

I think everyone in Lights Out ought to get stronger flashlights while the gun lights are still the strongest because watching the lights whip around when everything goes to hell is so good.Fishstick posted:USB foot pedals are a thing, are cheap, and can be bound to any arbitrary keyboard or mouse input or macro gently caress, I'm suddenly considering setting up my G27 pedals as keybinds or xinputs or something and using them for something dumb an fun.

Its sick in lights out when a bomber grenade or oil barrel goes off and lights up the entire place. Also loving sick is i didnt realize the dreg gunners have phosphorescent paint on their face that glows in lights out. Unlike the moebian 6th guys who clearly have lit up face goggles its not super obvious in the non lights out.

Bleh, every time i start the game up and check the mission terminal only to see that there are no Heresy difficulty maps to pick from that dont have annoying modifiers, i just shut the game off and do something else. Not being able to pick which mission you want to play is a massive pain in the rear end.

Not being able to pick which mission you want to play is a massive pain in the rear end. Yep we got burned by this again last night. Completed a mission, then after that mission the only ones left were either annoying modifiers, a mission with NO modifiers, or the same mission we just did but with scriptures (which we all needed). We just decided to play the mission with no modifiers because doing the same mission again twice in a row sucks and gently caress high-intensity forever and ever. Just such a spectacularly lovely system.

Finally saw a hound mission, but it was a max difficulty one. I decided to say "gently caress it" and gave it a shot. We were all mauled to death by dogs in about 5 minutes.

I’ll be back but I suspect it will be around feb or March. Hopefully after a meaningful content update.

My friend playing Vet in our group refuses to not take the camoflauge feat and our Psyker deals the brunt of it, it's pretty annoying but I don't have the heart to tell the guy to take a different goddamn feat because we all suffer from it. Like I guess it's helpful when he can use a control panel without getting mobbed but he's usually too busy sniping things from outside of coherency while I'm the one paying attention and running around trying to do the objectives as soon as possible.  Coincidentally, the only time I've ever completed Heresy was with a group of randos using no communication whatsoever, lol.

The camo perk is OP especially if you dont play selfishly. Example, stand just infront of your team at a choke and hack apart everything rushing past you to get to your teammates with your powersword. Or stand somewhere close to your team like ontop of a box and clear all shooters without worrying about being mobbed by melee. Honestly if youre saying your psyker is getting owned and you think the vet should be getting owned instead i think your team has a fundamental misconception of roles on the team. Why is your zealot or ogryn not getting owned or why isn't the psyker crowd controlling Also also if your vet is standing outside of coherency their camo perk wont be active

That sounds like a problem with your friend and not the perk lol. I think the only time camo actually applies to me is when I'm doing objectives because otherwise it's chainsword o'clock, or you're moving around to dodge shots while firing back. Maybe they should make like a guardsman and fix bayonets every once in a while.

Hm well yeah I think my friend playing Psyker is also kind of bad and is usually out of coherency flailing around trying to make room for himself so that might be part of it too. Idk it just felt like once he unlocked that ability we all started taking a lot more damage but maybe not.

Ok, ok, I'm coming around on the Maul. It's not gonna replace my Bull Cleaver as my main weapon, but I clicked enough with it after a couple of runs that I'll probably swap to it every now and then when I want to mix things up.

I was big on camo for awhile, but the 75% ranged reduction is absolutely loving king. Just zapping ranged hordes with impunity on Counterfire so the team can charge in is awesome. Most fun way to play imho, and with gunner damage on Heresy+ I know its helpful to the team.

Yeah I've been doing the ranged reduction more now that I have counterfire, it's really good to be able to just walk into the bullets and mow down enemies. Truly the spirit of the Heavy Weapons Guy lives inside us all.
