The Bigger They Are …

Increased the Damage Bonus from 50% to 75%.

Fats Dominar is on the case


they’re also fixing some of the more egregious old penances, specifically heavyweight champion, friends will be friends and going out with a bang. oddly when I logged in it registered that I had accomplished Pick N Mix, because I had previously gotten to a 4-count?

The only old penances I’m still missing are Heavyweight Champion (should be trivial to accomplish on an ordinary damnation run now) and Just a Flesh Wound, which I’ll have to get a group for I guess.

FYI they broke the shader compiler caching in the patch and the games all fucky now until your shaders get rebuilt which takes like 3-5 missions, they're working on a hotfix for it

also any mod that interacts with the UI is crashing the game so disable mods for now until those get updated

I'm kinda pissed they took the psyker monstrosity one and made it private lobby only since thats one of 2 I have left to do (that and the ogryn coherency one I just never bother to do it)

My 4 stack of friends got one of our group the psyker daemonhost killing one and honestly without a 4 stack I don't see how you'd ever get a lobby of randos to do it with you. But I suppose if you asked enough times at mission start you might get lucky one day (under the old non-private setup).

And you probably know this but the way to get is is have a shield Ogryn draw the initial aggro, so they can withstand enough attacks for you to get all the required brain bursts off.

I've actually done it 3 times with randos where the pubbie psyker asked politely if we'd let them try for the penance and everyone agreed. Its really not a penance that needs to be done with a private group :(

Also the 2 mods that are broken are numericUI and ui_extension so just remove those (scoreboard will be broken too once you remove ui_extension)

Wow, those penances that are tied to Steam achievements are significantly easier now. The Psyker one only requiring one elite now is huge.

The only really "hard" Steam penance now looks to be Flawless Execution, which can be cheesed by playing low intensity Malice and don't be a team player :(

I've been out since like January. I see they finished the weapon system, added a bunch of weapons, rejiggered blessings, etc.

Has any of my stuff been nerfed? Like am I going to have to replace my Kantrael, Antax with Brutal Momentum, Voidstrike, Cleaver, etc?

Patience won out and I had a very easy time finishing up the remaining OG penances. Now I just need to figure out which Ogryn Heresy + mission I need to do and I'm totally done. :toot:

aside from Power Sword and Flamer which have both (deservedly) eaten a few nerfs, literally everything else has just gotten buffs or remained the same.

Nope, those all remain near top of the heap. The biggest nerfs that garnered complaints were:

Power Sword: The base energized swing went from 2->1 and Power Cycler got nerfed from adding an extra 3 energized swings to 2. They just added a Tier 3 Power cycler to give 1 extra energized swing, so the nerfs actually made cycler even more desirable.

Flamer took a hit to damage and ammo but is still just as OP at blinding your teammates (with a Purgatus buddy). But really it's still good at clearing everything and anything, especially if you chastise the wicked while everything's burning.

There have been a ton of buffs and bug fixes that have made a lot of weapons blessings viable, but I'm still mostly working on getting a decent couple base sets for each character so I haven't branched out to the more niche weapons too much.

Powersword without PC is still fine if you have slaughterer, since you use your 1 activation to build some stacks and you can just swing unpowered and still kill hordes which is what its mainly used for anyways. I just really wanna get the multiple activations for edge cases :argh:

Power weapons are just as iconic imo. They need to add a powerfist into the game! As an ex Imperial Guard table top player I gave all my officers/veterans powersword. Chainswords are for NCOs :colbert:

That's the thing. If I'm just swinging normally I'd rather have BM + something on an axe. Mind you even with just 1 cycle on the power sword you can still get into a good rhythm.

Jumped back in after a hiatus. For some reason the game runs like complete poo poo now. It's constantly stuttering. I've messed with various settings and can't seem to figure out what might be causing it.

Takes 3 or 4 missions for all the shaders to get built on the current patch. Once its built it should be fine unless you rebuild your shader cache. Theyre working on a patch for it.

Does not require preheating
Other games solve this by rebuilding the shaders at first startup or after a significant settings change, so it only takes 2 or 3 minutes, instead of making the player play an an hour or more with lovely (or shittier ) performance.

Yea its just a mistake by fatshark, which they are fixing (hopefully quickly!) - I wasnt really prepared for the actual fatshark experience for my first game from them as its just as "bad" as everyone said.
