Unless the big change in 10th is towards a more skirmish-hybrid system. Something like Kill Team only much bigger. That would justify first boarding action playsets and terrain and then urban combat playsets and terrain, with open field terrain being a 3rd, optional, setup.
They always have been. IG forces are always recruited as planetary musters with their own unique traditions and cultures. When its time to deploy IG forces to a battlezone, the Departmento Munitorum tries to pick regiments that suit the combat zone and are of compatible or at least non-hostile cultures to deploy together, but that doesn't always work out since hey, there is only and always war, and everywhere. So sometimes you've got Elysian drop troopers stuck tromping through the jungle next to Catachans because they were the only regiments in the area that could be deployed in time.
I'm excited for this. You can use these new terrain for combat in the interior for orbital platforms.
Damn. Guess it's too risky to talk about what's wrong?
i wouldn't call it risky like fatshark's gonna bust my door down, just that in it's current state it isn't as good as vermintide and i don't really know how to articulate on it. it's a beta, yeah, but it runs like shit and a lot of the gameplay needs ironing out. there's no class limit so most of the time you're playing with three retards that all picked kerillian. specials blend in a little too much with regular mobs. the charger expy has maybe a half second cooldown on his move so everyone's getting groped. melee's kinda wacky, sometimes the swinging animation will just not play and you'll still get the hit. sometimes hits have a bit of a delay and mobs will fly after it looks like you whiffed. ranged combat's alright and i do like how ranged mobs will have a quick glint come off their gun before they shoot at you. tagging specials just feels off, and i can't really put my finger on it. environments are neat but stoners have no clue where the fuck they're going. there's one mission where you have to carry the big thing to the big thing recepticle and for some reason it turns everyone's brain to mush. that's probably the retard players instead of the game but still.
Oh by Sigmar, the elf and ranged DPS retards are at it AGAIN(I say this as an elf and dwarf main).
V2 beta was far worse than at its release of course but If Darktide gets the same treatment then most of those bugs and problems might be fixed in a year or two, so not too soon. Worse, at least half of them will stay or come back from patch to patch. This is still a bit baffling the beta is in this state after years of V2.
there aren't any green circles in the beta and honestly i miss them. they don't give you any statistics at all after a mission, so you can't tell who the retard of the party is. despite that, the retard is more often than not the veteran sharpshooter.
idunno, i remember playing the beta for vermintide 2 and it was pretty rough but it ran better than darktide. my computer's probably not fancy fresh enough for it.
yeah, i'm talking about the other players. nobody really knows the levels very well. you know that one mission in V2 where everyone has to get explosive barrels onto that cart? the one where just, no one wants to go get the barrels? the end of one mission in darktide is like that, except in one big circular arena. something about that spot turns people retarded and nobody thinks to cover the guy carrying the shit, and everyone dies.
hopefully they work out most of the kinks by the time it's released. if it seems janky on launch i'm gonna give it a couple big patches before i buy it.
I thought the beta was okay, better than other betas I've played in awhile that I could actually run. I disliked the lack of class limit and I hope that will be implemented in the future. I also disliked the lack of voip (unless I'm too retarded to realize if it's already there?) because the lack of communication meant that two of the retards I was with yesterday were running off just to kill enemies and hoard ammo/medical instead of playing objectives.
My Army box gets here today and I get to discover if I got scammed on ebay or not.
I don't really feel like I did. Though I bought several boxes of Leagues of Votann thinking that we wouldn't be getting more as soon as we did and I could sell some off. Boy was I wrong.
Well, it arrived and wasn't a paper photocopy of the codex + poorly done resin copies of the sprues, so I didn't get scammed.
I think it's because people were expecting shipping shortages but box set shortages didn't even last a month. Luckily I was able to sell the extra rule books and some of the models I wasn't going to use in my army.
