I’m level 5 and I haven’t gotten a good sword yet :( I don’t want the stupid Catachan blade with its stupid counter, I want the other good sword that cleaves through everything and I can stab people with it.

Which one is that?

Coming from Vermintide 2 it feels like melee in this game doesn't quite have the same great weighty feedback, I also don't feel like there's good feedback as to where I'm taking damage from. Sometimes feels like I'm taking random damage, or suddenly all my toughness disappears and I have no idea how, but I suppose that's because I'm new to the game (I do know to look behind me).

Also, all the levels look the same: dark corridors leading to dark open spaces. Nothing beats bashing rats in the head in an open field on a sunny day.

There's a level where you go a broken dome where the light is streaming into the interiors and you run around the shantytown in the open. It's very bright.

Control layout is good/standard. The only awkward thing to do is the sprint/dive combo that depends all on your pinky moving from LShift -> LCtrl but personally I got used to doing it.

I rebound it to the C key and it's significantly better and easier to pull off.

It's unfortunately still more generous than other live service games. ~5 USD for a chest and legs skin bundle with unique model and ~12-14 USD for chest, legs, head, and 2 weapon skin bundle is way more generous than say Valorant charging 30 USD for a weapon skin.

Still not great to have I agree.

It's weird cause for me the game is running basically perfectly. In 6 hours of playing I can count the number of disconnects on one hand, whereas in the pre-beta up to the maintenance window I can get disconnected every 5 minutes in a single match. The only CTD I had was the reproducible "click on special move in weapon stats screen" bug.

Just got my first powersword and im not sure im sold, hard to get it to charge in the thick of stuff. People using the bolter/powersword combo must be going crazy between the time needed to load/rack the bolter and time spent charging the sword! Braced autogun and the combat axe is working out nicely for me at the moment.

So it's not really worth engaging with crafting till they put the rest in right? Do you just cross your fingers for a good perk/trait etc when you upgrade, for now?

You don't need to wait the full charge up animation. Just activate it and swing immediately.

Yeah, the no crossplay thing is absolute garbage. I only just found out about it. I'm on gamepass, but all my friends will get it on steam when they do. Has there been any word about it being in the works?

Crossplay between Steam and Gamepass is rare. Both Steam and Gamepass provide backend functionality for multiplayer, but for obvious reasons are incompatible with each other. If a game wanted to have crossplay between those platforms, then its devs would need to create their own multiplayer backend.

Do you really trust Fatshark to make that?

Speaking of stuff that was in VT2, wonder if they're planning to implement "Illusions" for weapons. There's options for skins right now, but as far as I can tell, they're all just texture swaps.

Well the flamer skin actually does have a different model, there's more of a cover over the barrel compared to the base version.

I think once we get the other crafting functions released it'll alleviate the store stuff. Given the names of the unused options we'll be able to change and upgrade the stats, perks, and blessings of a weapon. Even if you still can't purposefully make a specific weapon being able to change its stat distribution should help a lot.

I don't get why Hardon has to be so condescending, who programmed her that way

1) As a Tech Priest she probably programmed herself to be that way when giving herself her augmentations.

2) One of her dialogues has her say she's been alive for about 400 years and she's been angry for like 99% of it.

I think we'll need a break point for greens, blues, and purples to determine whether its worth rolling it to the next level because if you get a bad roll and are under the threshhold then its pointless to keep upgrading it. If it's 380 for a white/grey then i'm guessing at least over 400 for a green.

The number is broken up in the stat breakdowns. You can see how much of the power number budget is allocated to the stats/perks/blessings in the upper right of each section.

Yeah a lot of people seem to hate it but a nice orange chain ax with good perks it just awesome. I run it a lot on Heresy and I've never had issues. It handles hoards well enough though slower than a big cleave weapon but it takes down heavies very quickly and you see more of them on higher difficulties.

What sort of blessings and perks are good on it?

I did find a 360~ grey eviscerator and then upgraded it to this. So like the damage and penetration are ok but not perfect and the other numbers there are pretty dang good. Everything else is useful but not perfect but I also wondered about the bloodletter perk. I figured I could use it with the crit chance on bleeding enemies thing and the perk that reduces the cooldown on the charge for crits

IDK if this is good but it's been really fun

When blessing changing gets added I'd switch out Momentum with a cleave blessing like Wrath or Savage Sweep (I prefer the latter). Getting more toughness on multiple hit isn't as good as just straight killing them and getting toughness anyway. You're able to cleave 4+ targets at 75% cleave stat so max stack Wrath gives you about 6-8 cleave and Savage Sweep gives 8-12 cleave.

Bloodletter looks real neat but given Eviscerator can kill most non-ogryns with a special attack you'll probably only really see use against ogryns.

I'd also switch out the sprint speed perk in exchange for something else.

Otherwise that's a really nice Eviscerator.

Momentum is an amazing perk. Probably S-Tier for me. The Eviscerator also has a side swipe heavy attack that will almost surely hit 3+ baddies so it's super easy to proc.

I'd rate the cleave blessings as higher, personally.
