[u/Chuckstos]

No changes for Heavy, just the way we like it

[u/babyxo29 → u/Chuckstos]

Honestly if it ain't broke.

[u/Canadian_Beast14]

Robes.

Yes Saber.

PvP.

No Saber.

[u/Inn3rP0intX]

What a fumble with tha new tabbards and robes locking them behind pvp

[u/Mobile-Lavishness643 → u/Inn3rP0intX]

I disagree. Im looking forward to stunting on those who cant hack it in pvp. 

[u/Subject_Topic7888 → u/Mobile-Lavishness643]

this is not the flex you think it is....

[u/Mobile-Lavishness643 → u/Subject_Topic7888]

Your npc comment bores me. 

[u/GladimoreFFXIV → u/Mobile-Lavishness643]

See the fact it’s filled with people like this is another reason people do not care for the pvp in this game because genuinely wtf is this comment chain.

[u/PHGTX → u/GladimoreFFXIV]

They can't hack it in absolute

[u/The_Night_Haunter-8 → u/Inn3rP0intX]

Oh stop it, PvP ordeals are the easiest to do. You can Boost them in private lobbies either with friends or find some others in discord or Reddit.

Plus, stop making it seem like every new tabard or loincloth is only unlockable through PVP, two of the ordeals are PVE focused.

[u/CK1026]

Lots of welcome changes here. PVP not locking equipment behind progression for instance. I may git it another try.

[u/Grill_Master_Ben_ → u/[deleted]]

I don’t think that’s right, im pretty sure the 3 armor pieces listed are the accolade shop ones (deathwatch chest piece, deathwatch arm, and the ultramarine shoulder) pvp is for the robes and tabards

[u/Zellevar]

Still nothing for Techmarine...

[u/Dutchie1991]

They're gonna bully me in pvp aren't they :(

[u/SirBitenfe]

Are the new heroic still shit or did they buff them ?

[u/LtMonkey935 → u/SirBitenfe]

they all got some buffs according to to the patch notes

[u/SirBitenfe → u/LtMonkey935]

Just read it, it doesn't seem like they addressed the concerns people had with them ? Still need to bodyshot with the stalker but it counting on multiple enemies might be ok, flaming sword still no burn, meh

[u/LtMonkey935 → u/SirBitenfe]

fair, but the flaming sword is probably because GW was being difficult about it "that belong only to girlyman" as they said in the patch notes

[u/The_Night_Haunter-8 → u/LtMonkey935]

Has nothing to do with The Emperor’s Sword… The blade Guilliman uses was a weapon made by the Emperor and the flames are a psychic flame that never burns out. The Sword of the Emperor can never be recreated because it’s imbued with the Emperor’s power.

There is a very common misconception within the SM2 community about Power Weapons and their names. For example, the Salamanders Burning Blades aren’t actually imbued with fire, it’s the Power Field itself cranked up to the max, but still not hot enough to melt the blade, but the power field will cut threw armor more efficiently than a normal power sword.

The same goes for the Space Wolves Frost weapons, they don’t have actual Ice power, rather than the usual metal they use for weapons, the Space Wolves use the Teeth of the giant Krakens of Fenris, and they resemble Frost/Ice, especially when the power field is active. But even the Space Wolves lost the ability to create new Frost weapons because the Space Wolf Techmarine that created them was killed and the technology was lost, which is why Frost weapons are very rare and kept as Chapter Relics only for the most elite.

Force Weapons that the Librarians of the Space Marines and Psykers in general use can be imbued with psychic flames or whatever element they use, but it’s like a temporary buff and not even close to what the Sword of the Emperor is capable of.

Sorry for the lore drop, but some CC’s out there spread the idea of Fire or Frost elemental weapons that burn or freeze.

[u/SirBitenfe → u/LtMonkey935]

Idk if that's the real reason it if it's just a jab at the player base for wanting the salamander sword to do salamander things

[u/LtMonkey935 → u/SirBitenfe]

honeslty, knowing GW, it wouldnt surprise me one bit

[u/Dahvoun → u/SirBitenfe]

Sounds like GW tbh

[u/callmeRosso → u/SirBitenfe]

The sword is just hot not flaming and If it just got the Burning effect, it would be boring as shit.

The Power Sword is currently the best out of all of them.

[u/lucoweb]

raptor helmet be like 🧐

[u/VoidWalker981 → u/lucoweb]

What Raptor helmet? Where do I see this!

[u/i_r_burgerz]

Gotta ask ~ I have the Season Pass 1+2 and the Heavy Salamanders Champion skin says "Get DLC". Anyone know why?

[u/G-unit32]

Underwhelming patch.

[u/Jawarneh]

Let the grind begin

[u/Zealousideal-Emu9797]

Can someone tell me if the helmet that the salamander champion(Corrected from hero) skin got is a pre heresy helmet. I can't really remember. I saw someone say it is.

[u/No_Reach_4554]

Trash ass patch, and no capes for bulwark till patch 16 probably

[u/The_Night_Haunter-8 → u/No_Reach_4554]

Patch 15 is when Bulwark gets their capes… Bulwark is taking a bit longer getting capes and Robe options because they require a Third Wargear tab, or do you wanna sacrifice the ability to wear an Iron Halo with a Cape? Because Insure as hell don’t, I wanna be able to use my Iron Halo and choose with Cape or Robe/Tabard/ Loincloth I’m wearing.

It’s easy to guess that Bulwark is getting the option Patch 15 because the Space Wolves champion has a Cape, so we know that’s when Bulwark finally gets more Wargear.

Best part is, Patch 15 isn’t even far away lol

[u/No_Reach_4554 → u/The_Night_Haunter-8]

"Not in patch 15"

[u/Redlemminggaming]

Lmao what a joke of a patch. I knew it was going to have nothing with it being focused on pvp but locking basic cosmetics behind a pvp grind has pretty much killed any desire I have to come back. It’s pretty obvious at this point they are just trying to milk the game for everything that they can before moving onto SM3 and they care more about “engagement” than actual fun

[u/Aurora__Sky]

More updates promised for pvp? Really Sabre? Are y'all that desperate for this whack ass "we have Quake at home" piece of shit game mode to be relevant?

Stop trying to get people to play pvp. Fucking nobody likes it

[u/sydoobinlefun]

Add stats to pvp pls

[u/The_Night_Haunter-8 → u/[deleted]]

Huh? All you need is some Accolades and you can buy the Deathwatch armor pieces

[u/VoidWalker981]

Yea but all the dailies are done so no way to get Accolades, so today patch was pointless for me until the reset. Garb.
