DeathSandwich posted:40k isn't really a game of named personalities outside of like commander level. Double so for imperial guard. A huge theme for anything IG focused is that there really isn't space for heroes, just more meat for the grinder. Letting multiple characters of the same type in the same match is possibly the biggest mistake Darktide is making, that kind of thing causes balance problems in any game of this genre that allows it, even worse since you can't switch characters once you're in a lobby

My guess is the most likely additions(that aren't just variants of the types we already have) would be a Ratling(easy archetype to model in this kind of game and there's already a fair bit of dialogue about them) or something relating to the Adeptus Mechanicus(either an actual Tech Priest or maybe even a Combat Servitor)

Kokoro Wish posted:I just love how Kruber switches from calling Saltzpyre "Sir" to "peasant" in some interactions if you're running as a Grail Knight. There's a really great interaction between them where Salt takes offense at the idea that Bretonnians bathe and then is absolutely gobsmacked when Kruber admits that he's always engaged in the habit of regular bathing even before becoming a Grail Knight

Had a great interaction between my Ogryn* and another one in a match just now, he talks about how one must treat your gear properly and mine chimes in about how its also important to name your weapons and give them hugs *whose name is Thag Simmons(well in-game there's a hyphen in there because you can't have spaces in names for some reason) and he is a good loyal servant to the Throne

Exodee posted:One other useful quirk of wounds is that whenever you get revived you're healed back to full minus the one wound. So if you have a bunch of extra wounds you'll barely notice the reduced HP from doing down, which can be quite useful at times when the game's stingy with medicae stations. (Although personally I've just stacked toughness buffs because of the Zealot synergy.) Yeah that actually is a nice feature Mendrian posted:It will be a t-shirt for the Ogryn. It will have the fatshark logo on the back, and "MY LARGE SON" on the front.

It is so lonely here", and that just caused my group to double-take for a second and just WTF at that. There is some very black but also very funny humor with the Medicae Stations, which has me really hoping we get a Combat Servitor as a playable character down the line cause well robots/cyborgs with a penchant for ultraviolence is a never ending gold mine for potential comedy Broken Cog posted:Was made aware that a special aspect of the Ogryn Grenadier Gauntlet is that its light melee attacks count as heavy attacks. Could have some interesting interactions with the various feats that only trigger on heavy attacks. Also no one has really pointed this out that it's special attack is a loving explosive piledriver which definitely earns it some style points field balm posted:Yeah it's wierd, 40k started off as kinda funny and satirical (think some sort of mash up of red dwarf/early 2000ad stuff) and at some point fans just stopped noticing or caring about subversion and just went 'cool space fascists!'. VT kinda nailed the goofy 80s British tone but I'm guessing the style guide for 40k is all grim all dark all the time. I feel 40k has been doing better about not being all serious all the time like it had been for a long time but yeah it definitely still has a ways to go to reach where it needs to go Real Cool Catfish posted:They should def slap the beast of nurgle into vermintide 2.

Unlucky7 posted:Has there ever been Fantasy/40k crossover? Now I am curious. In the early days of the two there were some indirect crossovers, mostly tying into Chaos stuff like Chaos Champions in Fantasy sometimes having what were blatantly 40k weapons or indeed sometimes just plain being Chaos Space Marines, indeed a common fan theory in the early days before the two settings diverged more heavily from each other was that Fantasy was just a random world in the 40k universe and that Sigmar might have been a Primarch(since GW has always had a couple Primarchs intentionally left "lost" and undescribed)

There should be a random trait on Lasguns where taking fire damage causes you to regain ammo, cause one of the canon ways you can recharge a Lasgun battery is by sticking it in a fire for a while

Demiurge4 posted:I shoot all the drat time. That ammo raid map with the security gate you have to defend? You bet I'm emptying my las rifle into the mob as they come from the hall and up the stairs, because every basic zombie I kill before they get to the main line is less pressure I have to deal with when I pull out my axe. Ammo is plentiful enough and most of my groups have a psyker anyway so there's less competition. Pretty much my thoughts on the matter, if your gun has a decent ammo pool it rarely hurts to trim down a wave of enemies a little before you engage in the mosh pit

After messing around with the two of them, while the Power Sword is definitely the overall stronger option(since near infinite cleave combined with really high power is a ridiculous combination), the Chain Sword has some advantages due to not being as reliant on it's charge mechanic as the former, since you'll only really be needing it for singular high health/armor targets(though it's surprisingly bad against the naked Ragers as those guys don't seem to get stunned at all by the charge attack unlike most things besides Monstrosities), which simplifies the timing and rhythm compared to the Power Sword by a lot The Chain Axe has some potential for being ridiculous too but due to being almost completely focused on single target damage it really requires having a gun that can handle Horde clearing like an Accatran or maybe the Flamer

Generally I found that under normal circumstances assuming that you're just tap firing for most enemies you can get a fair amount of shots out before your heat gets too high and generally the passive heat drain will be more than enough assuming you're switching over to melee to deal with hordes As for melee that pairs well with it, I'd say the Chain Sword does a pretty good job as it has really good single target damage output and does a decent job at crowd control, while the charge mechanic let's you deal with specials and elites that are up close without unnecessary ammo usage(even Maulers and Ragers will often die to a single charged up hit)

Arghy posted:Had 3 games in a row now where randos refused to pick up scripts and grims as in we had to refuse to progress further until they came back to grab it. They had an empty inventory and we were in no danger of wiping it was so bizarre. We also had an ogyrn in all paid cosmetics refusing to use his melee weapon on malice and he went down constantly. Honestly I've just had really bad luck with Grimoires and don't think the rewards are worth how much of a pain in the rear end they are to deal with, at least in VT2 you got better loot out of it, they need to give better incentives for them to be worth the hassle, like maybe guaranteed Emperor's Gifts if you complete a mission with at least one Grim or something

Do you really just have to go in with the Power Sword? Outside of the two heavily armored Ogryns you can still take down armored enemies with regular Las Guns, just means you'll have to expend like half a clip or so to do so

explosivo posted:If I could power up the power maul while running I might hate it a little bit less. It's just annoying finding the time to power it up when you also have to slow down to do it. If I could do it while sprinting and repositioning or whatever it wouldn't be as bad but as it is it's just more downtime that I can't really afford when I need to keep swinging for the fences to keep my toughness up and the bleed stacks going. Honestly they really need to change it so that any weapon with a power up mechanic keeps the charge until you hit an enemy with it rather than the current system where it just fades out after a couple seconds if you don't use it, would make using those type of weapons a lot less fiddly to use

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Shotgunners are run enders if you don't prevent them from getting shots off, your toughness will disappear from across the map, they at least won't shoot through their own guys unlike Skaven. Honestly it's bullshit that flamers, tox flamers, and bombers are the only enemies to do friendly fire, should be something that happens with all elite and specialist enemies(and Ogryns and Monstrosities too) skaianDestiny posted:Ranged damage has no health damage bleed through. That probably ties into why Shotgunners and Snipers feel so annoying since they can just completely delete your toughness and usually chunk out a large chunk of your health too all in a single shot, makes it feel like they're cheating a bit regarding the "ranged damage can't bleed through toughness" rule
