the new map loving rules and the new music is insanely good. I found the map slightly undertuned, it felt a little easy on Damnation. That might be intentional since it’s the map’s first week or it might just be Fatshark figuring out the appropriate level of intensity. Haven’t run into the spawn yet. Also I have an AMD GPU and I can run the game just fine. In fact my performance is better since the patch. Very odd.

Anyone have any perk/blessing recommendations for the Catachan sword to make it good? Or is it just doomed to mediocrity forever? I really want to like it but it underwhelms every time I try.

It’s definitely one of the easier missions. I think it’s because it’s basically an easier version of Hab Dreyko. More linear layout, only a few open areas where shooters are a threat, and a scanning event people are used to doing in more open areas.

I think its for the better though, maybe here and there horde an special spawn could be upped a notch but I think it's okay to have an easier level flow for a change.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:it felt a little easy on Damnation. Its size and branching make it super punishing for teams that wander apart or split because Turbo in front doesn't care that the folks in back are still swarmed. Agreed though that it's a bit easier so long as the group maintains cohesion. edit: I had a group that would frequently all-three break off and rush somewhere else in the middle of a swarm, and my only warning of such was that I could shoot a specialist without the Ogryn rushing to power-bottom my gunbarrel.

I see VT2 is having a double XP season (and I jumped back in with some friends who decided to give it a try), but is the Darktide event also double XP or just "grind missions to unlock the bonus mission"?

It's literally just play the game like you always have and stuff will unlock. As of 9am edt this morning the first portion of the even of killing 300 million enemies is already completed. Now it's just like, 1 million monstrosities, then the next event is finishing missions so not really gimmick-y at all. Edit: lol it's actually half the number of monsters I quoted, it's only 400,000. Gamers already have it at 63k. Should be over very quickly. Evil Kit fucked around with this message at 15:05 on May 30, 2023 |

It's one of those events that doesn't do much for players, but really helps as another bullet point in the "engagement metrics" section of your next presentation to your boss

They also reduced the amount of missions required for the third challenge so we'll see how fast it gets done.

Addendum, the monstrosity one you can technically do some gimmicky grindy poo poo if the Lights Out condition pops up, and Fatshark didn't do any balance changes so Thrust is still bugged. I'm just imagining 4 zealot teams all equipped with a Thrust Thunder Hammer rolling around annihilating Daemon Hosts and whatever poor monstrosity that decides to spawn in.

Had one of those last night in a damnation run on enclavum bavoss, 3 zealots with thunderhammer and a vet. We came across a demonhost early on and us zealots just looked at each other, charged the hammers and nuked it. vet meanwhile was just "im staying the gently caress away from you lunatics" Then we had another demonhost and a chaos spawn. 10/10 comedy run

Insert name here posted:Anyone have any perk/blessing recommendations for the Catachan sword to make it good? Or is it just doomed to mediocrity forever? I really want to like it but it underwhelms every time I try. Go for the mkIV, the one with the overhead swing as the opening heavy attack. Look for damage and cleave blessings like rampage and wrath (my best one has rampage and skullcrusher, though I can't tell if the latter contributes much). During hordes repeated light-heavy attacks will be your bread and butter; dodging will be necessary if your cleave isn't hitting everything. Spamming light attacks is also fine, though the lack of damage makes it less efficient than the heavy sweep. For single targets, apply the overhead heavy to weakspots as appropriate. Block-cancel your combo to spam it a bit faster. The parry is largely there for show - for most enemies, it's simply faster and safer to dodge and continue attacking than it is to pause your swings to deliberately catch a single attack for middling damage and no stagger while you risk eating poo poo from other opponents. HOWEVER, it does work for a few key boss attacks: Plague Beast's rear tail slam, Ogryn's 3-hit combo and bull-rush, and Traitor Captain's knee strike and combo attack (good luck trying to time it right tho). You can also trivialize lone berserkers with some practice (but you could also just shoot them).

Well you can do it in an engaging interesting way. You give the community different objectives and different outcomes depending on which one gets finished first.

it'd be fun to do it based on class, like 1 million kills with x class gets everybody a skin for that class, and any class skins that didn't get earned go in the shop. so all the zealots could be bumping a cool skin they got for free off a community challenge, but psykers didn't make the cut and have to pay for their Radiant Hat of Many Tubes if they want it

We're pretty sure Bungie were also putting their thumb on the scale to make sure each class got it at least once since it started. They also had to lower the community goal a few years ago when everyone saw the bullshit and decided to just wait until they would inevitably change it, and they did and always do because these things are made up and never matter. Me, I'm tired of the not spawning new monstrosity nonsense, at least 10 monstrosities killed and none were the new one. Really like the new mission though.

If it's a 30xx or 40xx you'll need to join the Expermintal Beta branch using a code you can find on the Fatshark forums. You can still play with everyone on it it just helps immensely with crashes for folks on those cards. A number of goons can attest.

tangy yet delightful posted:I kind of want to track this but also I'm lazy BUT I swear if I play my psyker the lobby is full of psykers, if I play my ogryn then it's all ogryn all the time. Fatshark please more evenly distribute classes between lobbies (they can't do this because game pop is so low even if they wanted to IMO). Other people have definitely mentioned the perception of class stacking on the subreddit. It's part of the reason I like playing my ogryn, bound to run into a few others tossing boxes. Best paired with 1 vet so everyone's got ammo and regenerate grenades. This guy has been running numbers around class stacking and weapon win rates and is pretty in line with what I've noticed about all ranged having a rough time. https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkTide/comments/13479a6/class_data_from_100_public_high_intensity_games/

I'm on a 2070 super and haven't had a single crash. Try turning off the 3d portraits in settings they just added, or check your launch options to see if they got reset? If it's giving you a log for the crash take a look and see if you can't google anything would be my next guess to try.

To follow up with the other poster's advice either Thrust or Headtaker, preferably both but Thrust is the better choice by itself for killing monsters. If they haven't fixed it yet Thrust is bugged and gives way more +power than it should.
