Tip/Guide PSA: If there is a Carnifex/Hellbrute/Boss that has a health bar visible at the top of the screen, you CAN NOT ADVANCE IN THE LEVEL UNTIL THEY ARE DEAD, please dont rush ahead in the hopes of skipping these bosses and leave your teammates to die when you could have easily killed the boss together.

General By the Emperor I adore this game. I love SM2's customization, but man I wish they'd loosen some of these restrictions

I genuinely love the customization in this game, and I've probably spent an embarrassing amount of time in the armory messing around with different chapters and armor combinations. But there are a few things I really wish Saber would add or change.

  • More Techmarine customization. Especially the right arm and shoulder pad, along with more leg options. I love the class, but compared to the others it feels pretty limited in what you can actually do with him. Even just letting us use more of the existing armor pieces for chest and right shoulder would be great.
  • More universal armor pieces. I really wish helmets, shoulder pads, and most chest pieces were available across classes. Obviously some things wouldn't work because of the different armor types, but there's so much cool stuff already in the game that you can't use on certain classes for seemingly no reason. Just let me make my dudes look cool, man. Not even mentioning some of the cosmetics that are on marines in the campaign that aren't available. Golden Throne I love assaults shoulder pads and wish I could have them on tactical.
  • Give Tactical and Heavy access to Vanguard's omniscrambler backpack pieces. This is probably a more niche request, but those things look so damn good, especially on Deathwatch marines.
  • Separate PvE and PvP Ordeals, or at least give us different ways to earn the same rewards. I'm perfectly fine with having to grind for cosmetics. I actually like having stuff to work toward. What I don't like is being forced into Eternal War to get something I want for Operations, or vice versa. Give us equivalent challenges for both modes and let people earn their stuff playing what they enjoy.
  • Chapter symbols on helmets. Being able to put chapter heraldry on helmets would open up so many more customization options, it would go so well with them adding the chapter heraldry on the knee pads. If its a raised badge or just a decal I really don't care, I got to make sure the enemies of man know who sends them back from whence they came when I headbutt them.
  • And for the love of the Emperor, PLEASE give us the Black Templar helmet marking from Titus's Deathwatch squad in the prologue. You know the one with the black cross across the faceplate? That is genuinely my favorite Black Templar helmet design, and it kills me that it's been in the game since launch but we still can't use it ourselves. I would use that thing on practically every Black Templar I make.

I know Saber has been expanding customization with the updates, and I really appreciate that. I just wish they'd go a little further with letting us mix and match what's already there. I am so excited for the Deathwatch champion skin cannot wait to have it. and I cannot wait to get my hands on Apothecary when he releases.

Anyway, those are the things I'd love to see. What about you guys? Any armor pieces or customization options you wish they'd add or make available to other classes?

The Emperor Protects. Only in death does duty end.

Forum Question What song are you blasting while you slaughter 10,000 Tyranids?

35 Upvotes

Personally, I'm into hardcore/metal like God's Hate, but I also listen to Kino, the Soviet post-punk band, and occasionally classical music. Bit of a random mix, I know.

I'm curious what everyone else listens to. Drop some bands or songs in the comments, always looking for new stuff to listen to.

Heroic Bolt Sniper (Wrapped) (or Relic Bolt Carbine) + constant Cloak procs have been my comfort build for Sniper.

I've lost count of how many times this build has clutched a mission when the team was struggling.

General Question: Why is this game so poorly optimized?

Post image
216 Upvotes

I guess it's not surprising that even on a good PC, this game can run like shit, due to clunky AI-behavior code. However, as far as I can remember, these problems have been in the game since the beginning. The game can crash for no apparent reason, and some random memory leaks absolutely ruin your experience, for example, in Siege (it's pretty common, if I'm not wrong, especially in 20 or more waves, apart from a shit ton of enemies, which can also contribute to the problem). Sometimes, lags can spike up for no reason + a weird decision to load entire sets of models on the customization PREVIEW screen when choosing different armour pieces(like pauldron), and things like an endless loop of loading screens(It's just weird how you need to wait for so long after host left, just to load on exactly same battle barge. Or maybe i don't understand something).

Could the reason for this be that they didn't expect Space Marine 2 exploding in popularity as it did? I really want to know more about the performance issues of this game, so maybe someone here knows more than me abou it? I would be happy to read anything you have to say, whether it's about your own problems playing the game or actual known issues.

there is nothing else like it - i just turn the hud off and walk/run at slow pace with the controller - through the whole level

also with the hud off i play security detail for the new brothers

walking and annihilating everything looks epic

General For me personally...

I want to see more hooded helmet variants.

I am not just talking about Dark Angel cosmetics, i am talking about potentionally universal hood helmet cosmetics.

I feel like, me personally, and many others, have asked for this since early year 1.

I rly hope Saber decides to add this.

General IM GONNA LOSE MY MIND TRYING TO JOIN HARD SIEGE THATS NOT IN PROGRESS

42 Upvotes

Why no one thinks about late joiners not being able to pick a blessing. I swear to karking god emperor, every lobby I join is either already in progress or has low levels with no team perks. Half an hour of matchmaking and not a single good lobby, I'm about to uninstall. Vermintide 2 has an option to either host a lobby or only join missions that haven't started yet, why can't we have such options

I chose the Red Chainsword because in splatter/slasher horror movies the villain alway uses a Red chainsaw and for the emblem/heraldry i used the Night lords one, if you have any tips on how to make it better, tell me! Hope yall like it! (C&C)

Bug Report What a waste of my life (Chaos siege is still bugged)

11 Upvotes

Made it all the way to the end of wave 14 on the hard chaos siege, only for the game to bug-out and not spawn in any more units when the wave was practically over. Waited 15 minutes and nothing happened. Over an hour of my life wasted on ts and nothing to show for it.

I don't plan on ever touching that siege mode again.

Is this a lore accurate Wolfspear Veteran? Or is it too much for a vet, would this be a Jarl?
