Naturally the best melee weapon in the game by far is locked to the class that's also the best at guns by far. The thunder hammer should have a big AoE stagger when firing off the charge.

big cummers ONLY posted:The thunder hammer is fine. It is weaker than other options but it's fine. If you use it incorrectly, it's bad. It murders critical targets and controls hordes. Its weaknesses are possible to account for in your play, and in your choice of ranged weapon. There are more optimal weapons but that doesn't make the hammer bad or unplayable. You are allowed to only play optimally, but you're also allowed to play suboptimally if it's fun (and you aren't doing something so horrible it makes you a liability to your team) The problem is that it isn't fun to use the hammer, at least for me. Giving up power for fun is a poo poo trade-off, and "it's crappy but it's fun!!!" is precisely when you should buff something, not a reason not to. But that's not even what's happening here, because the hammer isn't fun. It's slow and awkward and doesn't do anything that the evis doesn't do better and faster; the hammer "controls" hordes, but if you were using an evis they'd just be dead instead.

Mendrian posted:I like darkmass.gg but I really wish it would show me movesets for each weapon. I'm not 14 anymore, I can't memorize attack patterns on weapons when the only textual difference is Mk1 and Mk2. It's deeply amusing that they went out of their way to show general attack patterns with icons, and then like half the time they're totally wrong. Also, yes, the "MkII" names are hilariously stupid. They didn't even bother giving them all different nicknames, there are three different swords but they're all called "Devil's Claw"

The best part of the store reroll system is that Zealot has an entire chain of feats that only function if you're using one (1) specific weapon with one (1) specific perk

Really all you need to know about class balance in this game is that one class's ultimate is "+50% to all damage for an entire loving minute" while another class has "knock some guys down." One of these charges faster than the other but I bet you can't guess which one

Kaysette posted:it'd be really funny if they did a christmas event. a santa hat would look good with my psyker robes. I measure games by Time to Santa Hat, which is the amount of time after release before the devs discard any semblance of coherency in their setting and visual design and just let you put a loving santa hat on your grimdark psychic supersoldier / righteous elf paladin / whatever I'm sure a bunch of people are going to interpret that as "time before the devs become cool cats who just want you to have fun," but really it's "time before the devs run out of ideas and resort to the absolute most banal default method of extracting money from you" There are of course plenty of games where Time to Santa Hat is zero, and given the existence of early access you could argue that it's negative sometimes. I'm guessing six months for Diretide.

On both Zealot and Psyker I feel like I’m just caddying for the Vets; they do everything important while I run around pointing at ammo and cleaning up stray trash (just to keep myself entertained, of course; they all have power swords so they’re better than me at melee and ranged and surviving and supporting the team and probably dancing and lacrosse, too)

Internet Explorer posted:I have to say that I've soured a bit on the Atrox axe and knife bleed/crit/roughness build for the Zealot. Just way too much effort to pull off. I don't even want to know what my APM is while playing. After doing more of the other classes, it's just... way too much work for the same result. Any build that makes we want to install a key repeater thing loses a lot of points in my book.

Utterly hilarious that Zealot - the melee class that lives on toughness regen - has to spend an entire feat to get +50% toughness on melee kill, and the Veteran - the ranged class that can kill anything from a mile away - just gets that built into their class for free e: Oh and it's a percentage, so I guess what this really means is:

Phlegmish posted:I tried it out in the Psykhanium (on Malice difficulty) and the revved-up heavy attack is not one-hitting the Rager. It might be the Shredder stat, yeah, that determines how much damage the rev adds. But I get by without one-shotting them; the stun is long enough that you can just rev it again and finish them with the second attack.

The problem is that we do like popping heads. The second-to-second gameplay is fun. But I would very much like a wider variety of heads. This game has a whopping three environments - dank underground techruins, sandy sunny techruins, and shiny affluent techruins - and what, maybe a dozen enemies? There is one boss in this game. One. One single, solitary boss. For the entire loving game. ONE. And he's not even like a cool giant demon that you fight in space or a chaos marine or something, he's a nameless nerd in scrap armor with a gun that you fight in a literal loving train station. e: I remember when I first did the data-interrogator minigame I was like: "well, that was sort of simplistic, but it's a neat idea to put in minigames like this, I wonder what other ones there are?" And when the VAs started taking about a daemonic infestation up ahead, I was like: "whoa, I bet this game has lots of cool gribbly Nurgle demons we get to fight in it, oh boy" megane fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Dec 26, 2022 |

I am 100% on board with playing the game entirely for fun; I still play Nuclear Throne and I unlocked literally everything in that game years ago. But if you want me to play like that, your game has to have enough content that I want to. You need a ton of weapons or classes or levels or enemy types or boss types to give some variety to the gameplay. Peferably, all of the above. This game has:

I think it's entirely possible to make the characters interesting and memorable without their being specific named people. They didn't really do a great job of it, but it's possible. e: I think the Zealots and Ogryns stand out pretty well. Veterans are all the same, Psykers are just "the one who says beloved in literally every line" and "the ones that don't say beloved" megane fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jan 29, 2023 |

big cummers ONLY posted:"Different potential" sounds like a dishonestly positive way of framing stat variance. It makes it sound like your gun with half the possible damage roll is still worthwhile, and simply has "different potential". The gun's potential is different, because it is worse. In practice, I think most guns will have one or two optimal distributions, and the rest are just trash fodder to gum up your drops and make it take longer to get what you actually want. e: Or they make 5 different stats that all boil down to "it does a bit more damage" said in slightly different ways and then scoff when we don't care about the distinction

It’s an easy mistake to make since they have similar names, but you can tell them apart because one is a veteran weapon and therefore the best melee weapon in the game for any class by miles, while the other is a psyker weapon and therefore worthless trash

Yes, the Veteran Marksman, the class that is supposed to be focused on ranged damage and does more ranged damage than any 3 of the other classes combined, gets a weapon that makes them also better than every other class at melee, that is correct.

Darktide is a game with guns in it, it's required by law to have twenty nigh-identical automatic rifles so people can have screaming thirty-page-long arguments on the internet about whether the one with 282 damage and a 0.055 refire time is better than the one with 277 damage and a 0.051 refire time.
