New dev blog, no mention of allowing you guys to play the game but theres some other nice stuff in there

quote:

You can now modify two different aspects of your weapon (be it perks and/or blessings) locking out the other options, that being said, you’ll be able to change the two aspects you have selected as many times as you want.
Well this is slightly better than the current system I guess, but still you'll be hoping for good rolls on 2 things instead of 3 things. Also you can select the exact perk and level you want now which is good for those who didn't modify their game with the auto re-roller, more of a sidegrade for those who did (save a few seconds, lose out on seeing your mod roll something hundreds of times).

quote:

We have extended the ability to make two modifications to Curios, specifically you will be able to modify two Perks.
Only needing a max blessing and one good perk roll makes curios easier to craft.

This is nice.

edit:
no mention of current weapons or curios being "locked" due to perk and blessing swaps, and if they will now unlock for this new system where you get one more allowed swap

Crafting will still suck but at least it's no longer fully gated behind RNG to get 2 synergized blessings, you just got to settle for bad perks and you don't REQUIRE a mod to not wear out your mouse clicker for rerolled perks, hopefully the patch also improves the worst blessings but I'm not holding my breath.

Mission board changes are huge for me because I just didn't feel like playing if the mission board was like 3 damnation missions, 1 low intensity, 2 hunting grounds or vent purge snipers/power outage.

Gimme those high intensity shock trooper gauntlets on demand.

Yeah the mission board changes are what'll bring me back. Seeing no modifier or low intensity for damnation kinda sucked.

their content pipeline shared infrastructure with the nord stream pipeline so the cia blowing it up is what has stopped them adding the weapons that are already in the game files#

is the void strike staff still the best one?

... huh?

Voidstrike is very good yes, but Purgatus and Trauma are both equally viable and good now too, just different niches. Surge is okay, imo it doesn't feel good to use but it does a job fine.

You want to try out either Warp Flurry/Transfer Peril or Surge (blessing)/ Warp Nexus (+crit based on peril) for Voidstrike. The former is sustained damage, the latter is burst vs hard targets.

I've ended up going full gunpsyker with a shredder autopistol. Its got 2 stacking power blessings, so I can kill 2.5 Damnations mutants per mag if I hold the trigger down. The range at which it becomes useless is also the range Brain Burst gets good, so thats nice as well.

I've been really digging gunpsyker with revolver. Being able to speedily pop elites/specials is really nice and deflector force swords make dealing with shooters/crushers reasonable. Really versatile, like lasgun/power sword veteran.

I just put together my new computer and man what a difference. I went from doing 60 fps on medium settings to not being able to play at all because of constant crashes!

Anyone have a handy trouble shooting guide for GPU related crashes (i have a RTX4070)? Or any advice at all.

Go on the Fatshark forums and find the experimental beta branch code and join that. You still play with non-beta branch players, but should help with the crashes. The high end gpus have known issues they're working on fixing and goons who've had similar issues joined the beta branch and were able to play

It looks like i have bigger problems, i can't run any game for more then 5 minutes without crashing. I can't even boot up Cyberpunk 2077 to the title screen. Memory test came back fine, it feels like there's something going on with the GPU, like it's shutting off due to power spikes or something. It's weird because i was able to play Darktide for maybe half a mission one time, not anymore though.

It's an entirely new build, so all parts are new. I think i got to the problem though, after flashing my BIOS to the latest version the issue has disappeared (knock on wood). I also thought it was power related at first.

even before they changed it it wasn't that hard imo, and now it's extra easy since it's only gotta be for 90% of the mission. do it on the lowest difficulty you can and just stick to a Vet or Psyker's rear end since they can't suddenly run away from you.

nah the new version of it, where you have to have 3 missions on heresy or harder where nobody is knocked down or incapacitated for more than 10 seconds and nobody dies. which usually means im hyper vigilant until a dog eventually gets me and my teammates stand around missing headshots on plaguewalkers

It's probably not a retcon and more supposed to be a fun reference, considering how much dialogue there is of really niche Warhammer lore bits the various classes will bring up.

I've heard, in no particular order:

-the felinid abhumans (aka catgirls/catboys) get referenced by the male dreamer
-bodyguard Ogryn mention the space marine acid spit

And some others I don't remember off the top of my head. Someone at Fatshark is clearly a fan of the silly lore in the universe

People keep asking what Dan Abnett actually did. It's this. The in mission dialogue and barks are absolutely spot on.

oh that one? Just play Damnation and get good pubbies, you'll get it eventually. Anecdotally it took me like 5-6 missions to get it done. 10 seconds is a surprisingly long time!

Not that it fixed my crashes, but still. Hope you're not in the same boat as me, KillStick. I built a brand new machine for DT too and keep crashing at least once every mission or 2. Same machine handles literally every game under the sun without issue, but Darktide is ~special~

Did a quick play to try out the new auric damnation and it was no joke. Loaded into the match to find the team facing off against eight crushers, two mutants, and a hound swarm. We wiped almost immediately. Even though I didn't play that match for long, it was intense!

does it need those blessings to be useful at all? I have this shredder pistol and idk what to reroll on it, im guessing raking fire and poxwalker damage but not sure

Thats a nice weapon you've got. If I were to modify it I'd change the Carapace damage to Flak Armor (Or Maniacs, because I just really hate Maniacs). If you look at the attack breakdown you'll see that you get very little benefit at all from Carapace damage - even less than extra Poxwalker damage. Raking fire should probably go into Pinning Fire, just because Pinning Fire is insane right now. +100% power for Pinning Fire IV with the 5th enemy staggered is very silly.

ty, ill have to keep an eye out for the pinning fire blessing now. I didnt know that about the carapace damage, but it is a lot quicker at killing tougher mooks now with the flak damage. Maniacs seem to go down pretty well with the smg as is.

yeah ive been having a lot of fun with this patch, it makes things a lot more fun when you need materials for one guy but arent forced to play them constantly to get the mats, you can have some variety. i do wish they'd just implement some of the other guns that have been in the game files since launch, theres 3 variants of everything that currently only has one variant, and a couple of weapons that arent in at all like meltaguns. the alt colour skins for stuff like the plasma gun, revolver, and autopistol are all the models for the alternate marks so its not even like just the stats are in the game files and they need assets

i assume theres a good reason for them not being in and theyre not just being assholes, because releasing a bunch more weapons seems like an easy W
