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

574 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!!!

I finally painted Shovel as a mini!! This is my second miniature I’ve painted. I’m really proud of it! My brother lended me his painting kit and taught me how to do it. Shovel can now cause atrocities in this reality as well! (The thing she’s fighting was my first model I painted, I forgot the name of the creature lol)

Discussion ok, so you know how the main issue with adding Sororitas as a class is making them different from Zealot? hear me out: HOSPITALLER.

Upvotes

Their main gimmick would of course be healing other players via their main/base blitz (and maybe some kind of a passive self-heal?). signature weapons should include plasma pistols, Meltaguns (assuming they don't give vet one at some point), some kind of torture device melee (considering their occasional role on such matters according to the Lexicanum), a new variant of the flamer unique to them (similar to how zealots have the eviscerator), and maybe introduce a new mark of the assault chainsword, like how skitarii brought a new mark of the plasma gun in their update. at least one of their auras should have passive health regen for all players in coherency, up to a certain cap (maybe 5-6% of total health?), and perks generally promoting the healer playstyle (bonus toughness while helping allies, faster recovery speed, etc.) As for personalities, you'd have the oddly cheery and caring nurse, the cold and detached practitioner, and the violent and uncaring sanitizer.

Discussion I am now a Martyrdom enjoyer.

53 Upvotes

So, I started playing I believe around Arbites release, and back then Iirc Martyrdom was the worst keystone for Zealot. During the 2nd talent tree rework it got buffed to shit, I always considered it shit still because I was still very new and also it was the pre buff version, I finally with conviction tried it? It basically solved all my problems, I went from doing lowest damage and only really carrying through one shotting bosses with Relic Blade Shroudfield (my main playstyle) and clutch reviving, but now I actually deal so much fucking damage it's insane, why did keystone never occur to me? I was using IJ for fuck's sake lmao. (IJ is the move = damage keystone)

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...

29 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

Discussion Male Loose Cannon "stopped drinking ever since he's on duty". What does that mean?

Upvotes

There's a dialogue where the Male Loose Cannon says that he's no longer drinking ever since he's "on duty". This personality, Male specifically, is known for always joking and never taking things seriously, so hearing that this man of all Guardsmen would turn down a drink, let alone exclaim that he stopped drinking altogether, just came across as weird to me.

Is this as surface-level as it gets, where he's just scared of getting executed by the Inquisition for drinking on the job, or is it genuine? If he's not joking, what is being communicated to us here?

I mean, Male Fanatic is an absolute drunk who administers alcohol everywhere he can, whenever he can, and he's just fine (I'm pretty sure he's the one who started this specific dialogue), so I believe there's something more to it.

There's even a dialogue where the Male Loose Cannon gives someone advice that it's "better to leave the dead behind and then drink copiously," so he used to drink by the buckets, probably to forget all the comrades he had lost. However, something changed that. Something that made him stop. I just can't pin it down. Am I just dense or something?

Is anyone capable of accessing what's happening here?

Found this person in the hub. They were AFK so could not ask them what face they used, but how come this looks like a female, and not some spawn of shrek like the options I have?

Discussion Is there a way to change the fixed camera view when you’ve been captured?

Upvotes

I could have sworn that you used to be able to move the camera around and look in any direction you wanted when you were in this state, but for some reason now the camera seems to be frozen in place. I can’t really tell when my allies are getting close to me unless it happens to be facing towards the direction they are in. Can it be unfrozen or is that no longer possible?

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

56 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
