I'd like to try this if it's an audiobook. I asked a friend for a recommendation and he told me to try Helsreach and it was a boring slog of characters introducing themselves for three hours.

This is pretty much each book. Badass guy being badass in his own way talking to badass who is badass in their own way. Then they die. One or both.

Vet or Zealot for me as I'm kind of keen to keep it ranged combat only.

I think anyone trying to do ranged only is going to have a bad time, but the Zealot specifically seems to be a more melee focused character.

This is good to know thanks. Once I get my hands on the beta, I can have a more real take. It's just that back 4 blood absolutely sucks rear end in its current state and I need something to fill the PvE shooter gap in my heart lol

You're not going to be able to pull off ranged combat only. If you don't switch to melee when you get swarmed / surrounded you will be hosed to death immediately because ranged weapons can't block or shove - basically your two most important tools in the middle of a scrum.

At that, zealot is going to have a lot more limited ranged presence because they'll have way less ammo. The other 'ranged' character is going to be the psyker. Those powers have unlimited ammo and all you have to deal with is perils management. You'll still have a Flamer equivalent like the zealot, but you can pop heads by thinking angry at them, shoot lightning, poo poo like that.

I don't mind going to melee where necessary. I just prefer concentrating on ranged --- I think.

Performance is poor but no crashes. A little disheartened at the fact there are only 4 classes. That's pretty wack.

I think they've said they have plans for subclasses and ongoing support and content drops but for now it's the four basic classes and five maps (with different mission objectives taking you into different areas/paths through the maps)?

Barf. Not having any additional sub classes out the gate is insanely bad imo.

I got a flamer for my zealot and I'm not sure if I like it or not. You move noticeably slower with it equipped, it's slow to equip, hip fire is just a little poot of flame, slow to "aim" which lets you let loose like a fire hose, and doesn't seem to crit or get bonus weak spot damage.

However, it makes crazy short work of hordes.

I haven't messed with one but that sounds backwards to me lol. Aim should be the gout of flame and hip fire pisses fires everywhere

In this pre-release phase, I think the number by Nov 30th will be 12 or 13?

Once we hit this number it'll feel less samey for sure. Imo they knocked the maps out of the park.

If we are really only getting a single class out of the gate I think I'll put the game down until next week. I don't wanna burn out pointlessly

Okay, but can I just go back the the Psyker headpop thing and say that if you tell me not to shoot the things you are trying to headpop I am going to chuckle and ignore you. Between baby Psykers headpopping random trash, years of ranged sniping poo poo I am trying to melee, and well, if it's significant I want it dead and you could get booped or not do enough damage or whatever.

Expecting players to stop attacking something because it has a glowy bit around its head is an exercise in frustration. Let it go.

You're 100% right here. In the chaos of this game I'm not gonna stop shooting or slicing because a team mate is thinking hard and It Takes Time to pop heads

I was just posting how I felt and that I didn't care about the lore explanation, so idk why it immediately invited "but the lore!" That's a valid position but I already said I don't care so??? I thought to myself when I was typing "someone is also going to make a boring rear end post with the least charitable interpretation of my point to score an epic dunk" and here we are

I, too, am posting how I feel about your question and I idc about you wanting a non lore explanation.

Psykers are weirdos who's pop heads with their mind and invite demons and poo poo into reality with their powers. That shits scary. No one is gonna wanna be buddies with you because of this.

I have the ugly winter lasgun skin and can confirm it works. I really like the pace of the game, swapping between ranged and melee and the classes that exist.

But I'd love to skip ahead two years and get more content. I guess this is a long post about being butthurt in regards to launch only having 4 classes.

As much as I enjoy Darktide, it boggles the mind how often we've seen blessings or talents that do the opposite of what they're meant to, or apply some weird undocumented side effect buff/debuff.

That Veteran talent which was supposed to provide damage reduction after a weakspot kill, but actually made the player take increased damage. That seems like the kind of thing that would result in a hotfix two days later, but it took multiple patches over multiple months to resolve.

imo they must have a rigid workflow because that was bonkers.

Remember in VT2 they fixed a long standing error but pushed the wrong version to public, so everyone was still complaining about the bug but their internal versions were still fine. This persisted for like a year until they quietly pushed the right version out.

Something about their pipelines and version control is hosed.

i didn't remember that until you brought it up but yeah and lol.
