The fact that the God-Emperor of Mankind takes a little bit of time out of his day to have a little chat with a random crackhead makes him out to be a way better father than any of the Horus Heresy books have, that’s for sure.

He's watching the game through the psyker's eyes and commenting a la Twitch chat. Really most of the lines make sense if you replace "my beloved" with "chat"

Personally I don't like the voice modulation because the last time in a game with a Seer psyker with one our entire team was swiveling our heads backwards because we'd suddenly hear a VERY loud and deep unfamiliar voice that made us all instinctively look for the maulers/crushers behind us.

He also now canonically likes felinids and thinks they're the best abhumans. That's right. The God-Emperor of Mankind is into catgirls.

Mind you as far as I'm aware even though Felinids have been a part of 40k lore since pretty early on, they've never actually shown up in anything directly, so how much they actually look like cats(and thus the stereotypical "Catgirl") is unknown, I suspect if they ever do actually get used in anything they're going to be more in the Wolverine & Sabertooth vein of being hairy with sharp teeth and claws rather than literally part cat

You start to develop a sixth sense for when some dingdong is gonna set off a daemonhost. "Okay, we pinged it, it's extremely visible, and easy to avoid, but that guy is picking up ammo on the host side. He's not gonna cross over. He's gonna set i- and there it goes."

The Emperor definitely directs people like Frater Mathieu to fight/die places that will be useful, but the idea that he's just sort of chatting with some rando unsanctioned psyker would be pretty weird.

Okay fine just this one time" My favorite thing currently regarding daemonhosts is a Zealot going to wake one up and I get about 5 seconds to guess if they're gonna one shot them or get deleted (along with of course one more person on the team and then the frantic 2 remaining hoping to pull off the rescue).

So far I'm about 50/50 when it comes to surviving Daemonhosts. Sometimes it feels like my teammates don't understand that you can actually kill them and they panic and run away. As long as it's not in the middle of a wave of bulwarks, snipers and poxbursters then it's not too hard to tank one for a while, especially if you're a shield Ogryn and there's a corner you can back into.

I feel like you should at least get a bonus reward for killing a daemon host but I imagine that would just cause pubbies to charge into them every single time instead of most of the time

I'll fight the daemonhost if someone stumbles into it by accident. I'll fight it if it's attacking the second victim. I'll fight it if another player asks if we want to. But if someone decides to run straight into it after it's already been tagged and the rest of the team is already taking an alternate route? Hell no, I'm not taking corruption for that. They made a solo decision to wake the daemonhost, they can fight it solo, too.

Everyone thinks they're built different, individually. It would be hell.

If someone takes on a Daemonhost and the other three players continue to push forward because screw that chump, will the Daemonhost still be able to attack a second player or will you be able to reach a safe distance?

On Malice and below, they'll kill one guy and be done with it. On Heresy and up, they're coming for the second guy no matter how much distance you make.

The worst are the ones who wake a daemonhost and then die within 5 seconds, like drat man you can't dodge and block any longer then that?

My most embarrassing moment in this game was the time I put my Ogryn shield up without realizing there was a ledge behind me instead of a wall and the Daemonhost just pushed my rear end off of it and killed me in 2 seconds.

Like I've said in the past the current execution of the Demonhost is just complete rear end and solely exists to waste the player's time in a very clunky and obnoxious way

I haven't had a run end to a daemonhost in a while. I mostly do solo quick play and if the host gets aggroed players are pretty good about curbstomping it before it can even get one kill. Much better than they used to be. I like it as another pressure tool in the map.

There’s an argument to made that, in some cases, you should just let it kill whomever it wants and move on. Killing it with a badly-suited party (e.g. zealots with bad single-target weapons, vets with ammo-hungry guns, or just generally team members who kind of suck) comes with serious costs in time, ammo, and corruption. And that’s not to mention the risk of loving it up and losing two people anyway, leaving the survivors on death’s door for nothing. I’m not saying pubbies are smart enough to make this assessment accurately, but it is there.

Usually it's best to focus on everything but the daemonhost if it goes on someone, if they can survive half a minute or longer then I usually go "ok this person is probably good enough to be worth attempting to save" but if it just instakills the idiot not even gonna bother getting corrupted. Last week I accidently upset a daemonhost because I was meleeing a horde too close for too long and it went on me, I didn't take a single hit from the host but it corrupted half the teams healthbars so a few minutes later when a couple poxbursters rolled in half the team died..

Working on a scoreboard mod that doubles your points for triggering the daemonhost.

I woke up a host on high intensity the other day by shooting at a mobian standing too close to it, but then i somehow pulled off the dodging and blocking long enough that we kicked its rear end and survived. So at least I redeemed my gently caress up somewhat and felt pretty bad rear end with my smooth zealot dodge slides.

I'm just not sure what the point of the "don't kill this monster" in a "kill all these monsters" game really is. There should definitely be some kind of reward for killing them.
