The only reason you would want 2 characters of the same class is either:
A: you find you absolutely despise your characters voice and personality after you started playing and want one of the others.

That's my main wonder because whenever I roll a Veteran it will be very hard to pick anything besides a Cadian background and I'd want to hear the other options.

Also you have five operative slots but only four classes. If Ogryns are in they should add Ratlings too so you can play a tiny sniper.

As entertaining as that would be, Ad-mech of some kind like Skitarrii or a combat servitor seems more likely. Ratling sniper has way too much role overlap with the Veteran.

If I could I would change my cadian veteran to loose cannon because I am sick and tired of hearing about CADIA.

I think the Ratling speculation comes from there being some lines referencing them. I think it'd be pretty hilarious, plus the new talent trees would give them more ways to differentiate them. They could have a sniper tree, an infiltrator/closerange tree and a support tree where you cook food for your squad :v:

I wish I could go from professional to loose cannon but all the added voicelines have done a lot to give professional some sort of actual personality so I'm less annoyed about not being able to switch voices now at least.

I like playing as the Dorf in VT2 so this wouldn't be much trouble.

On the topic of height I find Ogryn players hilarious. Smol Ogryns are only 6 feet tall but 8 feet wide. Big Ogryns scrape the roof of the Valkyrie dropship during loading screens.

So if i admit that the two 25% toughness regens were missed by me (and i have corrected this) can we all just forgive me?

You are forgiven! But just to make sure, the discussion is mostly around both talents and blessings that regen toughness based off of what you are doing (heavy swings, chained swings, killing dudes) and less the generic "you gain 25% toughness regen when in coherency" type stuff. Unless I am wildly misinformed, the former is a lot better than the later.

Now we really gotta see what your build is, just in case you missed anything else :colbert:

The those two talents you've now added should add a ton to the build. Let us know how it goes!

Yeah the ones for heavy attacks on single and multiple enemies. I instantly noticed an increase in survivability since really all i do is heavy attacks with the shield or a l1 h2 now that someone mentioned that pattern.

Its a "feel no pain build" and I am actually trying to figure out how to export a shot of the full path since that appears impossible in the base game ... For some reason?. It kinda zigzags and i guarantee it isn't meta perfect since its not especially focused.

You either have to screenshot and stitch or possibly the mod that compresses the tree might fit it onto one stream. Or you could put your entire build into https://darktide.gameslantern.com/builds and then link it here.

I'm having severe connectivity problems with DT. It's been chancy for a couple of weeks and some days like today it lags, rubberbands, and then goes grey and disconnects (repeatedly). All other Internet games and functions seem to be perfectly smooth so it seems like a Fatshark problem. Has anyone got a fix to try?

They need to fix the broken talent and adjust a few really bad ones but otherwise I’m pretty happy with vet now.

Vet being the odd one out for not getting Keystones was kinda weird, they probably intended some but hadn't workshopped satisfying options before the overhaul patch. I'm pretty okay with something more interesting than "get a bonus when you hit your ability button" being at the bottom personally.

While anecdotally I've noticed a bit more rubber banding, it's usually when playing with EU goons and joining on them, or vice versa. There's def some issues though I haven't had anything quite as intense as what you've described, especially when pubbing.

I had a few seconds of lag in DT just now, US west coast (no idea where their servers can be but that's where I am). Maybe they just need to do a reboot or something poo poo.

While these last few weeks have been stable for me I had something like this just when the class overhaul went live. What was weird is that sometimes in the Mourning Star / mid-mission everything would be smooth as butter, but then other times I had the crazy rubberbands. No disconnects though, but when the rubberbanding started it would be so unplayable that I was better off disconnecting anyways.

Something was still up with Ray Tracing for me so I had to completely disable it. Seemed to get worse the longer I had the client open, but I didn't take the time to check for memory leak. 3840x1600 with a 3090.

When I logged in earlier there was an in-game warning that Fatshark servers were slow. I'm just tired of hoping this goes away on its own - perhaps I'll try disabling ray tracing.

Your issues definitely don't sound like an RT problem. Might be worth continuously pinging your router and something in the Internet to see if there's anything you can glean from that.

Totally understand people who can’t use it due to the camera jerking around, though.
