It's very good, def one of the best blessings for Evi

Just had a auric quickplay where 4 people would die/quit out and get replaced until the 5th stuck halfway through, got me thinking, what percentage of players quit because: A: they feel like they sucked and want to quit B: they feel their build sucked and want to tweak it or C: they feel the team sucked for not saving them and want to find a better team

Improbable Lobster posted:Not really any moreso than Ogryns. Servitors have a wide range of depictions both on tabletop and in related media. The three voices could be a malfunctioning sevitor that has some awarness, a standard servitor with a vox voice or a propaganda unit that constantly blares out hymns or whatever. if we get a malfunctioning servitor, it should sound like The Master from Fallout, and rapidly shift between difference voices but also mood and tone mid-sentence "Praise the Emperor! EMPEROR! Emperor!"

drrockso20 posted:I dunno the Medicae Servitors have a good bit of personality so I think they could pull it off for Combat Servitors as well(plenty of that wonderful 40k dark humor they could mine), and as for Cosmetics, I mean they're freaky looking cyborgs they arguably have way more potential customization options for their appearance than the existing Rejects do Darktide is pretty loose with the lore but that would probably be too much for GW to tolerate. Servitors are non-sapient and don't ever really deploy to combat without a tech priest telling them what to do. When tech priests and even skitarii alphas exist, servitor seems like a really strange pick. Servitors with any sapience are considered heretical and get destroyed on discovery and their creators get servitorized. The illegal sapient-but-enslaved servitors likewise can be effective at combat, or as sex slaves, or etc., but they have a propensity to go insane and murder everyone. The novel Flesh and Steel covers this. The old Mechanicum used to have sapient thalaxii that were sort of like advanced combat servitors, but those and the Ordo Reductor no longer really exist.

I mean we are serving under an Inquistor so Tech Heresy isn't really all that big of an issue Though honestly I'm not really picturing these as being true Servitors, more like really low budget Skitarii, describing them as Servitors just gets across the aesthetic they'd have better

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:A: they feel like they sucked and want to quit You know which one it is. It strikes me as especially silly in this game. If you win you get credits (the thing you care about), some mats, and an item you'll immediately sell. If you lose you get less credits. Unless people are afk or trolling just play the drat game. That pile of credits you would have gotten if your team was all 3000-hour players who carry you would just get blown on 335 weapons at Brunt's anyway so you might as well spend your time playing instead of loading. Like I at least get it in VT2 or DRG or something where any appreciable rewards require victory but even then if you're playing with pubbies you've decided to embrace the chaos already. Might as well have fun with it. Go get on the Hardcore Darktide Gamerzzz discord if you want to ensure everyone is up to your standards.

It's rare, but sometimes people rage too hard in this game. I had someone being a dick after they died. I told them they could stay dead if they wanted. They actually apologized and the team was cool from then on. Like, it doesn't matter. Play the game and enjoy. If you don't enjoy playing, don't play.

Newbie question: Why the Brunt's Special over the shovel? Also why that over the Power Maul / Brunt's Basher, which have a heavy attack chain of attacks that damage/stagger in an AOE instead of a vertical strikedown? e: I can partly answer my own question: the Brunt's Basher's heavy attack chain seems slower and is less good diagonal swings (less cleaving through an entire crowd at head level), compared to the shovel.

Also, I'm finding zealot throwing knives to be pretty good, just be sure to rebind your grenade key from G to Q so your human fingers can still do other things while throwing and aiming, it always feels good to just instantly snap a specialist dead.

toasterwarrior posted:as an aside, i got this beaut of an evis, but im not sure what to else to change. would prefer to roll off unyielding for flak or more crit, but maybe it's better to roll off wrath for rampage (+damage on 3 enemy hit)? So funny story, I actually came here with a similar sword and a similar question.  I put Wrath on over Momentum since I felt tanky enough. I have the infested/unyielding damage skill, I'm curious what the best thing to replace the +20% damage perk is. Is it ideal to double stack bonuses on Unyielding to be stronger against big guys? Or +10% vs Specialists for high value targets? Also, does the Zealot backstab trait count as a Weak Spot? In practice so far this thing has been a crowd shredder, making the crit sound constantly and cutting through mixed hordes.

Add 5% more crit and take the crit damage reduction traits and crit CDR so you can spam chorus, bleed everything around you and make your team immortal half the time.

I think Quell or Warp Resist are probably the best to have low if you had to pick, Quell is probably slightly better to be bad but I don't know if anyone has a calculator for it (and how all the new talents synergize one way or another).

Just tried that bleed crit chorus setup. Once the loop gets going it felt really strong. I'd been using Chastise to give myself a boost of Toughness but Chorus gives even more. I had to choose between +20% damage to unyielding and infested or +10% sprint speed to afford it, I am leaning towards the sprint speed for good mobility since the crit loop feels like it's making up for that 20% damage perk. e: Does Chorus toughness bonus stack with toughness from Veteran shout?

40 Proof Listerine posted:Does the team benefit from Brittleness stacks on a dude or does it only benefit the user? The entire team benefits from Brittleness, while only you benefit from Rending. They both effectively do the same thing, improving the damage weapons do against a given armor type if it does less than 100% by default. So if a weapon’s light attacks do something like 5% against Carapace it would help greatly, but if that same weapon does 120% against Unyielding it would offer no benefit there. Fake edit: Patch 13 changed Rending/Brittleness a bit to make it additive and offer a minimum bonus of one quarter the listed value. If a light attack does 10% damage against Carapace and you gain 40% Rending, you’ll now do 50% (5x the damage). If that light attack does 100% against Unyielding you’ll now do 110% (1.1x the damage).

This is what I'm running for crit support zealot. You could swap shield of contempt for 20% backstab cooldown, but shield of contempt is an absurdly strong team bonus that triggers consistently and you'd be giving it up for inconsistent backstab opportunities.

Really hoping some kind of crossplay filter becomes available in some way. Been dragging some randos kicking and screaming thru Damnation and it's always goddamn console players. Not to say there's no PC based idiots but I h ave not seen this level of Useless in a long time. I die a little inside watching a teammate up ahead get buttstabbed by a poxwalker and sloooooowly turn around to give it a whack, and then sloooowly turn forward again.

Nooooo their power level is WAY too high for what our characters are doing. Maybe he can have educational difficulties, or he could have one arm broken or something, or his voice lines are constantly about how his family was executed so he's really off his game today. That's the only way anyone could see a rickety robot guy with a gun and believe he'd fit into this milieu.
