    Removing curse scaling on bosses changes the entire landscape of bossing viability. What a wild fuckin change. Sirus might even be manageable with a big temp chains + chill. Any random elemental build can gain like 50% more damage by annointing an extra curse for ele weakness+their chosen...

    Okay if you haven't yet go play one of the power outage missions. Whole game should be this way by default lol.

    Veteran in general is beyond OP. Bolter + power sword is like 3 characters worth of damage.

    Trappers need to be changed. New gear stuff is at least a step in the right direction, but I'm really confused why they are piecemealing these systems out like this? The shop that it launched with was pathetic and a complete turnoff from the game.

    Yea the death march is at least tolerable here. I just bought 300 revive stones and sent the same group of 7 recruits out with aggressive AI to chain res each other. Only took maybe 45m while I was watching TV. The class rebalance is pretty nice all around. Most weapons are at least viable now...

    Turns out you definitely have to death march still to recruit Cressida in this remake which is pretty unfortunate. Good news is the process for getting the Deneb witch chick is waaaaaay shortened.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I've been clearing the 4 pip difficulty ones with the cleaver just fine. Just gotta abuse the punch to stagger ragers and other heavy melee guys, and take the 50% more/less damage talent so you can tank the big boss mobs when needed. I can't imagine ever giving up the raw damage the cleaver...

    I think this is what is irking me more than crashes. The entire game feels like a step backwards from Vermintide.

    No, not even currency is shared. I wouldn't touch a 2nd char until the "beta" is over and they decide if there's gonna be wipes or not, and for them to implement an actual gear system instead of this nonsense hour reset shop.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I'm not a big fan of the shield. It's only real use so far appears to be the special for tanking plague ogryns, but how often does that even come up? Like every 5 maps? I much prefer the cleaver or knife and using the 50% damage talent vs big enemies. Way more useful weapon for regular enemy...

    Yea it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was actual tomato soup or some shit in it. This wasn't a particularly good recipe, it was basically poverty food from 1990 cause pork was 50 cents a lb and we were broke lol.

    Maybe one of you homies can help me find a recipe that my dad used to make when I was a kid: It was porkchops buried in rice inside a big crock pot with a lot of like canned/stewed tomatoes. It wasn't a soup or stew, it was relatively dry.I can't really remember more than that, and specifically...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Yea it's not immediately clear to me how many of the issues I have with the game currently are just because I'm playing ogryn heh. Like ogryns have a sprint+slide just like everyone else, but it doesn't actually work cause your model is so fucking big lol.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    I'm really not sure what their plan is with the ranged enemies? It feels like they changed tack half way through it or something? So the tutorial says sprint and slide to avoid enemy fire but it...doesn't actually work that way? Enemy lasguns and such do so much toughness damage you're...

    Yea this is legit just worse than vermintide in many ways sadly. It's also a shitload of copypasting from vermintide too. The psykers entire staff moveset is just the bright wizard colored blue, the entire grimoire/scripture system is a complete copypaste, the ogryn is like 95% exactly the same...

    Interesting. I tamed one of the little rogue familiars but he didn't have a steal skill and otherwise sucked ass so I never used him further.

    Near as I can tell they overhauled that system entirely and it's at least psuedo-random now. The old previous locations for finding specific items don't have those items anymore, and everything found as a hidden item for me so far has been sundries/crafting.

    They removed the Thief class entirely - stealing is not a mechanic in the remake. Any unclaimed loot bags on the ground are claimed automatically at the end of a battle. The only way you could miss out on them if is if an enemy steps on one and survives the fight.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    Visuals are really great, so are sound effects and general atmosphere. Game runs like doodoo on a ryzen 5800x and 3090. I can keep ~70fps if I turn off RTX and a ton of other shit, but it's pretty bad. Matchmaking appears to be p2p just like Vermintide was and fails frequently. Load times are...

    My first original playthrough on the PSX got bricked on the rooftop fight with the two assassins where you have to save the guy. I had no combination of characters/classes in my party that could take any relevant actions before the two broads would kill the guy, and nothing I did would funge...

    I definitely noticed that on jugg vs slayer. In theory jugg has just as much AE as slayer, maybe even more so at like 10+ endurance charges, but it still never felt quite as good? For whatever reason slayer bops entire packs with ease while the jugg setup struggled constantly with stragglers...

    Boneshatter is an absolutely cracked skill. On a 4link with like a 350dps axe it was still pushing 300k dps, and slayer leech + vaal pact is nuts in the delve settings where you just will always have leech running.

    Second run dead at 70 to crystal skin buried under a mountain of visual shit at an azurite node. The good news is that plan worked way better than I had expected - just riding the 12% crit dagger on raider stacking flat ele and nightblade shit. I was at like ~90% crit chance with almost no...

    Died at 80 in the delve thing. Best run I've ever had in HC, but I had hit a serious wall in terms of damage cause I just couldn't find an axe upgrade. Exploded before I could even mash my health flask to a pack of sonic bats with the corrupted blood nemesis thing, even had positive chaos res lol.

    Yea but kids aren't the driver they were a decade ago either. The entire scene of teenage/early 20s competitive standard grinders is just gone.

    You guys are overthinking this way too hard.

    Made it to 75 in HC delve, but I'm gonna be stuck here sideways grinding for a looooooong time from the looks of things. Rares become immediately non-viable if I go down any further with my current weapon and 4link. I haven't really done much delve since the atlas passive tree got added, but...

    They massively lowered the cframe requirements for the hidden ending and all the relation faction standings That should spill over to Cressida too so she's likely recruitable with only one or two favorable choices.

    The changes all sound entirely awful to me? Fixed team-wide XP per stage? Class change tokens that are gated behind drops/vendors? Level caps on based on story battles? How is any of this anything but cutting the balls off the entire class/xp system?
