Direct joining bypassing the login lottery is baffling and I can only guess it works by making your game bang on the door to get in as soon as there's a spot instead of just checking once every 50 seconds like the login screen does

Did a run tonight vs. bots and found one of those big Eye of Sauron tower things. How do you destroy those? We tried shooting it with EATs and an eagle airstrike to no effect, and no matter how many times we called hellbombs the bombs never arrived. The stratagem ball just rolled around and nothing happened. We weren’t being jammed, all our other stratagems worked fine.

So call it in, arm it and run gg VVV Sorry it is late and I definitely didn't read the whole thing my bad. It kind of sounds like it was bugged if no jammers were in play and you could activate the ball but not place it no matter where you put it.

Darktide is there for 40K's "your own faction loving hates you but despite that you beat insane odds every drat time" feel; Helldivers is very much the opposite track of space fascism where your faction bullshits you constantly into thinking you're more valuable than you think despite the actuality being that each individual Helldiver is there primarily to be a spotter for space/aerial bombardments, with actual combat being a neat bonus.

In Darktide you are basically superman. I know the powerlevels in 40K are wack but even the shittiest zealot or vet would wipe the floor with a helldiver. At some point you're just untouchable. Helldiver straddles that line that, for all its flaws, SST:E does well too, where you can have a huge impact but you're also so hilariously fragile that you're never really "safe". You're king of poo poo mountain but only until one of them tosses your grenade back in your face or you miss a dive on a single devestator's rockets.

Yeah, both Darktide (technically 40k) and Helldivers have their own spins on the whole space fascism angle and they're both very good at what they do (grimacing at this sentence IRL). The irony in Darktide where you're basically press-ganged into a warband and your COs love to reiterate how much they don't trust your convict rear end (despite them betraying this facade at times and being legit impressed at your victories), while in HD each Super Destroyer literally has a magazine of frozen Helldivers ready to fire at warzones whenever their gassed-up golden boy/girl of the hour gets annihilated by an armored bug the size of a semi

Yesterday I was doing solo missions because none of my friends were playing, and I figured I'd try the Guard Dog backpack since I'd just unlocked it. It owns, as people said it did, but taking it meant dropping the Autocannon I've been rolling with since I hit level 10, and good lord. Trying to play solo with "four grenades and a 70 second cooldown EAT launcher" as your only tools for closing bug holes with is a bad time. I think I need to unlock the grenade launcher or something, because you definitely want someone with on-demand precision explosives.

I find bug holes annoying to close with with any man-portable weapon cause when they're down in the pits, they're often shielded from an angle by little rock outcropings, meaning you gotta get head-on to the direction they're facing to be able to shoot/throw straight down them. Meanwhile Bot Fabricators are much easier to destroy. The angles on the top vent covers are more generous and they're easily destroyed by call-ins, unlike bug holes which are harder to accurately strike with some call-ins due to the terrain and their nature as holes rather than a building.

Now now, nearly half the time the 380mm shell was fired from an allied destroyer.

It feels like you need to actually get the explosive down the hole, which can be finicky at the best of times, and made my "only four grenades and two EAT launchers" problems even worse. Trying to close a big bug nest but missed one grenade? Well gently caress you, now you gotta wait for resupply!

My char had a strange bug in the last mission where they kept coughing like they had a chest wound, but their HP was full and I couldn't use a stim. It didn't do damage over time so they spent 20 minutes wheezing and coughing up blood on teammates or on interactive objects. The blood actually lands on stuff and adds decals. Eventually I stumbled into an explosive and a stim cured their Democratic Tuberculosis.

The other night my character was running around shooting things while screaming "MY ARM!" and "I CAN'T AIM WITH THIS ARM!" while notably aiming with that arm. Thankfully a bug removed it after a few minutes of that.

We fiddled with a bug tonight where, once in a while, for no discernable reason, the host and only the host of the lobby was unable to be rezzed by a reinforcement stratagem. If the host dropped and someone else became the host, they could come back in, and if they died, they could be rezzed, but then whoever was shunted into the host role when they dropped inherited the bug. Weird poo poo.

I've had it happen most with my legs, and let me tell you not being allowed to run at all until you manage to take enough damage to be able to stim youself ain't fun.

Current 40k would just shift the tone from comedy satire to very serious warmen with no other option but to do a fascism. This is better.

re bug pits, it really is incredible how many holes are still standing after a HE bombardment, three airstrikes, and a 500kg bomb. i usually end up running a lap tossing grenades down their throats while trying to avoid getting my head blown off by the autocannon turret that drew a bead on the bug that crawled out just in front of me but you can usually get a good angle on two or three with a grenade launcher which does help a bit, at least in the pit setups; the ones nested in those big rock outcrops are much worse to deal with
