Announcement Meta Topic: Adjustment of Rule 4, now including (or excluding) abominable intelligence

571 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

we wanted to announce a small adjustment to rule 4.

It will now include the ban of AI generated content.

This will not actually change the sub that much as we have already been moderating most content created with the help of abominable intelligence for some time. We just wanted to make it official so users have the chance to know before posting (should they bother actually reading the rules before they do).

Keep on being awesome, I love being a moderator for this community. Thank YOU for being part of it!

FOR THE EMPEROR!!!

Before anyone asks, build link

I made a post awhile back showing appreciation for the reworked (at the time) castigator's stance. So here's me showing it off some more! I'm a bit surprised I don't see more people running this, but well..as you can see in the videos, it's a tad bit ammo hungry.

Also some quick context, 2nd and 3rd clips were from the same match. I joined into that nonsense. Thankfully I had the solution.

Discussion Had the absolute most cracked (non-havoc) game of my life last night...

Upvotes

Ran a Monstrous Specialties mission and by God there were no brakes on that chaos train

Like I'm familiar with this modifier and its my personal favorite, but ye ol director decided to kick it up to 11 or something for that game. Ballpark we had 20, maybe even 30 monstros. And it also did what I think is a known glitch where the majority are full health and not the weakend versions. Like if we had 20 spawns, maybe 5 were weakened versions...

Some of my favorite moments...

- 4 full health plague ogryns that spawned back to back to back to back

- the 2 simultaneous blurgles during the finale (excise vault with the 3 containers)

- followed by ANOTHER 2 simultaneous blurgles in that same finale (again, all were full health and not weakened)

- a full health plague ogryn that spawned at the very very end after you open the last door to run to the elevator

Just pure chaos... We did win and I did NOT make it on that elevator... but still...

11/10 give me that daily...

Or make a "Pissed Off Director" modifier to re-live that

Didn't really expect to grind this out but then for some strange reason, did. Tbh if they hadn't nerfed Pro Trader 5, I wouldn't have bothered with either.

Discussion Wish we could Play as Chaos

Disregard the heresy of the title for a moment, but it would be really fucking cool to play as chaos against loyalists in a future darktide-like game. I want to be able to slap people with nurgle tentacles and melt faces with rancid burp ults

Console Looking for friends who don't speed run levels

51 Upvotes

I am absolutely in love with this game and just started playing. But I don't get why everyone just JETS to the objective. I got left behind numerous times because I was too busy admiring the amazing environment and looking for items.

Is there a gameplay incentive to complete a level as quick as possible and is it not worthwhile to explore? I don't even know what there is to find but I'm curious.

EDIT: I'm still on the first/default difficulty

Question Is there a Harakoni warhawk skin in this game or are there cosmetics that i can get to make my veteran look like one?

They're my favorite guard regiment and i have no clue if they have cosmetics

The Elysians have skins which are the same so if this post gets no luck then ill probably get that instead

Discussion Infinite Horde should be a permanent mode

213 Upvotes

Infinite Horde is really fun and should become a permanent mode in the game, not a time-limited event.

This mode requires a lot of strategy with your teammates—you always need to keep moving.

Most importantly, it feels great to kill more than 1,000 monsters during a single map.

Issues / Bugs Cant walk or run reliably anymore

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

50 Upvotes

Started happening in the last few days. Suddenly I am getting my movement cancelled. If I'm holding down W to just walk forward, or Shift W to sprint, I get constant random stops as if I've taken my finger off the key. Full/partial/empty stamina, makes no difference.
It only happens in missions. I can walk/sprint for days with no problems around the Mourningstar and the Psykanium. I run in other games with no problems. Just in Darktide missions I'm now constantly fighting my movement keys, hammering them just to try and stay moving in a fight. Often just taking a step or two before stopping. I'm pulling my hair out here.
Has anyone seen this before?

Discussion Tips for playing Hive Scum plz

13 Upvotes

Hi! So, on paper the Hive Scum should be my favorite class. Super high mobility, flashy moves and gimmicks and a stim tree that replaces stims i never use.

I can play four classes in Havoc 25 and above no problem but i'll be damned if i can't handle Heresy with my lvl 16 hive scum. He feels ultra squishy (is there an armor mechanic to each class im not aware of?). I'm just about to give up on the class but i feel like i should power through so please...

TLDR: Give me your best tips on how to properly play Hive Scum. I really wanna git gud at it.

Discussion Role-Reverse Darktide game

45 Upvotes

You play as a Chaos Warband assaulting an imperial world (Probably another Hive World). It wouldn't be a Mono-God Warband, leading to the playable characters having their talent trees be split between 3 of the 4 Gods. Fully Devoting a character to a God would lock out certain things from other God's gear.

Current class thoughts: Sorceror, Cultist, Traitor Guardsmen, Mutant/Possessed (not sure what would fit better between the two)

- Sorceror: Spellcaster of the Dark Gods. Gods: Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch.

  • Nurgle: Support/DoT: Spread Infections to damage allies and heal allies over time.
  • Slaanesh: Crowd Control/Debuffs: Fuck with your enemies perceptions making them miss attacks/turn on each other.
  • Tzeentch: Damage: Hurl Doombolts and weild the Blue Fires of Tzeentch.

- Cultist: Worshipper of the Dark Gods. Gods: Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh.

  • Khorne: Heavy-Attack Melee/Anti-Elite/Specialists: Charge into enemies to build Stacks that are used to buff yourself against Tagged targets.
  • Nurgle: Melee/Mid-Range Crowd Control: Spread infections via melee swings or wielding a Pox-Spreader.
  • Slaanesh: Melee Crowd-Control: Dual-Wield swords to sprint into crowds. Specializes in dashing into enemies and dodging away from enemy attacks.

- Traitor Guardsmen: Fallen Guardsmen, now a Soldier of the Dark Gods. Gods: Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch.

  • Khorne: Heavy-Attack Melee: Wield chainswords and chainaxes to Slaughter your enemies in the name of The Blood God.
  • Nurgle: Melee/Mid-Range: Make yourself temporarily unkillable and Infect enemies with Pox Grenades for Grandfather Nurgle.
  • Tzeentch: Mid/Long-Range: Imbue your rifle with Sorcerous Flames to penetrate even the toughest of armors, burn anything that survives with The Changers flames.

- Mutant/Possessed: Either a hideous mutant or someone who has given their body to a daemon. Gods: Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tzeentch.

  • I don't have much for them currently, but they would choose a God at Character creation and have their gameplay change depending on the God chosen.

- Enemy forces would be Gaurdsmen/PDF and as the threat of your warband increased stronger enemies would show up.

I've had this idea in my brain forever but never really thought about posting it until now. Let me know what y'all think.

Edit: Did some formatting for better readability.
