STOP doing THESE THINGS and making life HARDER for EVERYONE! | Warhammer 40k: DARKTIDE 

Stop fucking pushing busters you don't need to roleplay a lore accurate Ogryn I swear the amount of people who just run at everything in this game and then act like the people who know when to play slow and utilise range are the problem is ridiculous Sincerely: psyker you can clearly see channelling on the fucking burster

Agreeeeed!

Yes x1000

It's annoying when someone is about to push a buster when your obviously about to blow it up. Do you really have to run 20 meters to blow it up when it's safely about to be popped? Works both ways my dude.

I've watched so many players get killed by people who do this haha

The God-Emperor works in mysterious ways to punish those that would run afoul by Him!

There should be a special place in hell for speedrunners in team games.

Oh god I dealt with one of those today and got jumped by a group of hounds. Literally died before we even go up to him.

Its best when they immediately disconnect after dying

@@cmdrpanorpa8631 I know right, they fuk up and then ragequit cause noone helped them in time.

Whoever said that to you is just a plain idiot. The game literally punishes the whole team when you dont stick tight.

This is why I avoid running anything past T2 outside of organized groups who are communicating.

@@CdrChaos Randoms in Auric damnation are so much more enjoyable than base damnation randoms. Most of the time they stick together but you do get the stray zealot that thinks he can tank a horde, 20 heavy shooters, and 5 shield ogryn all at once. It's fun to tell the rest of the team to sit back and let him get chewed up for a bit, either he dies and learns his lesson or he clears an annoying section of the mission for you. Mostly the former.

@@isThreeman Auric Maelstrom is where you get the fewest of these types. They just don't survive there, there is no chance of survival if you're alone depending on the modifiers.

I don't know what it is about Darktide that causes this. I have just under 900 hours on VT2 and it's very rare to see games where the players don't at least make a barebones effort to keep track of where their team is. Rushers are extremely infrequent and most of the time you'll even have teammates come to reinforce you if you get stuck at the rear taking on enemies. Meanwhile on Darktide, where you're pressured even harder to stick together because of Coherency, I see people splitting up all the time. I've almost never had teammates come to help when I get stuck defending against an attack from the rear, they usually just keep moving forwards and leave me behind. Rushers appear in pretty much half the games I play, though thankfully they generally don't bitch and moan when they go down and blame the team for not being there for them (I've seen this happen in both VT2 and Darktide, but it's extremely rare).

Absolutely. Bet she blows a fuse regularly 😂

Same here, good to know👍

Yeah I'm not sure that's true either. I've put in over 200 hours since launch, and I mained a gun psyker for most of them and always left the light on. After learning you're not supposed to fight them, I've only ever woken up daemonhosts by getting thrown into them by pox bursters or nearby barrels.

it is you have to shine it directly on the host. @@vokkera6995

lmao i didnt even know i can turn of my flashlight XD

Guess its to make dark runs even harder 😲

Or running through the veteran's back and appearing in front of him while he is aiming down sights and about to shoot the Sniper

This is the worst. So many ogryns love to stand inside ranged players. Especially the slab shield ones, they thing they're protecting you, but they're actually closing the only line of fire to the enemy at times

I get why they wanted an Ogryn in the game for thematic reasons but honestly it's a shockingly stupid move to even have Ogryns in the first place. This is a game where you need to see enemies and shoot at them. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to have giant slabs of meat blocking your view? Just more evidence Fatshark doesn't QA their games at all

@@sulphuric_glue4468TBF, it is also a game where you charge at your enemies and then hit them with alarming weapons.

Well in most games i play i tend to notice the sniper before our veterans do i run slab shield mostly cause i like the sweeping heavy attack and the ability to block bullets. Usually whenever we have open mic i get thanked for the fact that i jump in the way of a sniper shot to block it that nobody saw coming. The other day i was playing that one mission where you have to get the ammo off the train and load it into the big box at the top of the stairs. There was a sniper that spawned in the room we came from that we dropped down from he was in the perfect spot hiding behind a console in the room only thing you could see was his head and his elbow i couldn't kill him due to the limited range of the grenade gauntlet so i had to sit there in the defensive stance blocking shot after shot after shot i kept marking him and our veterans one with the slowest firing las gun and the other with the slowest firing recon las gun wouldn't bother to shoot him while i had him focused on me. It was our psyker that had to handle it. She hid behind me and kept flinging explosive orbs at the sniper from 60 meters away trying to hit him. She killed him after about 13 seconds of flinging orbs. I wanna also add that the sniper had shot both of our veterans at least once before trying to shoot me cause they ran out of his line of sight. This was a heresy hi intensity engagement zone btw

It's like in a game of Magic, when you lose with cards in your hand. Feels bad and usually means you made errors.

Well, sometimes it's easy mode, and you don't even need them. Yeah even in Damnation. If it's not High Intensity, and you have good players, you can end up with most of your resources intact. Happens on Enclavum Baross for some reason. That finale is a joke.

Well if you all lived maybe u didnt need them lol

Once you have learned when and where the finale is you can just dumb everything at that point, you will not need it afterwards.

Lol "lore accurate Ogryn" I love that. Much more classy than dropping the R word on them. Which for the record, also describes them.

Not my Ogryn I try to share at an appropriate place. That said i'll take the medipack in preference to the ammo.

Agreed. UNLESS....its become something that keeps happening over and over. At that point it means that theyre probably fucking about and not trying to stick with the team so theyre causing more issues. But in the main, i totally agree. Im a vet, and i a sniper, and I often get caught in the back cos I usually have no close combat support and everyone has run off without me because whatever was in front of us is dead. But they dont look behind us and see the mob rushing down the corridor as they run away. Ive died many a time trying to catch up to my team with a mob of Nurgle Cultists on my heels.

If someone is left behind it is because they are fucking around and not sticking with the team. If I have to turn around to rescue your dumbass cause you thought it was smart to leave the group, then I’d leave you to your fate before mocking you for being dumb.

People suddenly getting downed by a surprised horde is exactly the reason why I made my vet build centered around support and melee dps. If I notice someone get downed, I try my best to cut into the horde so I can get close enough to auto revive them with commanding voice.

Oh yeah I'm loving that build with my vet too. Feels WAY more survivable and team-friendly than it used to@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639

I've had entire runs with veterans that seemed to make it their personnal mission to kill my brain burst targets and I took that very, very personnally :

At lower difficulties, hounds all over the place, then trappers, and I don't even want to think of what it decides to spam after that...

5 crushers

Yep, when a psyker and i got to the end yard we got several crushers on level 2 because the two zealots who were speed running spawned them at the end.

Agreed! Thankfully, most randoms I've played with tend to avoid it - unless its a preacher with Thunder Hammer. They like to test their mettle with a demonhost and most of the time it works out. Most of the time...

​@@rykenxiv That's a Paladin vs Demon moment right there.

Plus theirs NO REWARD for killing a Host none.

@@zestfisher565 Actually there is, I think - they count as Monstrosities. One of Melk's tasks is killing some of them. Do da math. (But seriously, clear the crowd before getting the star.)

@Siberian I love when people ask. It shows that there is actual forethought behind it and it gives everyone else a chance to get ready for it

Oh yeah I have way too much Diana time but I’m always at like 500 plasteel then I’m left far behind lookin for boxes n shit

"the higher up the difficulties you get, the less of these things there are." Very true, because the game will murder those fools without pity or mercy, and since most of these players are fragile china teacups without self-reflection or ability to improve, they can't stick around in that difficulty. So they dribble back to Malice, like treacle flowing downhill.

Yeap - difficulties are filters and they soon realize there places ain't gonna take terrible habits without punishing you!

​@@spamhere1123The amount of arrogancr speaking about a vide mo game is crazyyy

Also on the hound problem, as a workaround fix use the tagging wheel to place a red skull marker by the hound.

Being grabbed by a mutant also prevents you from tagging enemies until you are thrown

You can tag hounds when they are on you, its finicky but move the camera around and spam tag and it will work

"Keep overheating your spell charge repeatedly blowing yourself up until you finally kill enough elites to get this item set, be an annoyance to your squad" Fucking hell thank you for saying it. I was hanging out in the ship, looking at what i wanted to upgrade or not, and what penance I was close to complete, when a random player invited me. So i joined and it was a team of 3 people already, they voted for a Damnation difficulty and since i haven't done many of these I wa thrilled to be able to run one with a full team. We complete the whole thing, I somehow manage to get my penance done by that time, but before we extract the guy who invited me ask question like "why did you got down so much" or "you should have stayed with us" when they were running around like madlads leaving me to deal with the adds they didn't want to kill. Then he just kicks me off the team before we can leave.

I swear to God, some of the penances you have to complete for certain cosmetic items is ridiculous. I'm looking at you Psyker witch shroud.

​@@patrickferryman6579 This is so true. I was trying for the veterans "Make every shot count" and just couldn't stand it. They make you play selfishly rather than work with the team, its frustratingly difficult to complete and i hated feeling like i wasn't being beneficial to my squad. I personally decided im not going to bother with that one til its one of the very last ones i have. I ended up going back and running a few games on Sedition every night i was trying for it just to calm down and have some fun with a bit of easy slaughter. They gotta do something about these. Make them not so narrow a margin of error so people still actually work with the team while getting them

I got the pysker one by accident on my first game of using a pysker. I blew myself up by accident and just happened to be surrounded by elites/specials. 😂

@@DirtRidingLarrysame, wasn’t even trying to do that penance, I was trying to do a different one at the time

There are definitely some... questionable people that are playing in Damnation.. I understand a lack of combat skill - that might be simply just being unfamiliar or haven't got enough hours in the game. But having basic cooperative skills and teamwork is mostly independent of skill.. But yea! Totally agree with the last statement haha

I tag, rather than pick up ammo boxes when I'm psyker, for exactly that reason. I don't need them, so I'll probably forget to deploy them.

To be honest, your teammates always have the ability to use their comm wheel and tell you that they need either healing or ammo. So it's not entirely your fault, anyone can get carried away sometimes.

Same haha and I play as a veteran

@@fadeintoyou5341 lol Yeah, you'd think a veteran would be like, "I need some am- Wait! I HAVE some ammo!"

If he labels tips and tricks, it will automatically be ignored by those types of selfish bastards.

Ogryns can struggle to stay on the frontline due to the shooter enemys

Dude i feel like as psyker we get punished the most by this as backline dps when theyre zergrushing through vents and you have to just sprint through and hope you dont get slowed and trapped because the Zealot is flying through it irks my nerves like no other

I play a glass cannon Vet and the amount of times I'm cleaning out an area of elites and shooters before we drop down, only to realize that my entire team just left me behind is enough to give me some problems I swear to god. "You deserve to die, you should have moved up with us!" girl, the entire killfeed is my name right now and I got charged because I thought you guys were with me to cover me, at least tell me you are moving up with a ping so I know to start catching up

These are people who clicked on Psyker instead of Vet during character creation process but are too invested to turn back now..

Just wanted to say thanks for this comment, as it has improved my gameplay. As a new player, I found swapping to BB made me nervous if there were many enemies on screen. But your comment made me realise that playing "cautious" wasn't just impacting me. I've since become much more agressive with BB and it has been really satisfying along with the performance improvement.

They could've just used Psykinetic Barrage to mitigate it if they're lvl 30.

@@datkhornedog899 if only they would.

I could kind of get that, as iaijly used brian burst alt fire as my main way of using it, and only a while ago did i learn/re-learn that the primary fire for brain burst is quick but requires lock on to charge, and alt fire allows you to buffer it to insta pop someone but takes longer to wind up. That psyker likely thought the same. Still doesn't excuse him not using it at all though.

Had two folks arguing over resources today. One said I've got 5k worth and the other said but not everyone has !!!! The latter was right. Just because they played for 12 moths doesnt mean all have.

​@@cyberleaderandy1yeah fr I always check everywhere. Might even find a crate of ammo or heals. It's always worth checking, and its frustrating when the team just moves on. It also makes me feel like a burden, if the team has to wait for me in an airlock as I look for ammo and such. Why not stock up? If we move into a rough patch, I will spend like 2/3 of my ammo

Just play your game, there are a few basics like don’t stand in the middle of the door if a vet is back there shooting. I play all the classes and I just reposition if I can’t see past an ogryn. No big deal really.

RC is right but i would reaffirm you that dont worry if you block the view i mean yes its good to keep in mind but thats a lesser problem i would say a comfy pushing ogryn is everyones dream

If a veteran isn't good enough to shoot around you, then that's a shitty veteran, and you shouldn't listen to them. But as someone whose been playing as an Ogryn for a couple of weeks now, and doing quite well on Damnation, I will say, you also can't be too aggressive either. On Damnation, it really seems like the gunners are always shooting at you, and that can quickly wipe out your toughness, which will then quickly wipe out your health. I've found that the Genadier Gauntlet to be the best weapon for the Ogryn in Damnation. You can take out snipers and other gunners at a distance if you need to, you can one-shot a lot of enemies at close range, you can take out and/or stagger hordes, you stagger Bulwarks, which makes it easy for your teammates to finish off the kill, and it is pretty ammo efficient, especially for the amount of damage it does. But what I've found really makes or breaks the Ogryn on Damnation is the melee weapon. At first, I was using only the shield and maul, and very much wasn't playing aggressively, so that I could use the shield to not get shot. But my roommate, who I play Dark Tide with, let me know about the Confident Strike blessing. That allows you to quickly regenerate toughness, which allows you to play much more agressively. On Damnation low-intensity, I can use any melee weapon with the Confident Strike blessing. On standard Damnation, I usually use either the bull butcher cleaver, or the shield and maul. With how quickly you can swing the bull butcher, you can take gun fire and possibly not lose any health. If you know how to properly use the shield and maul, and you are almost always in coherency, you can slay with it.

So do both whatever the situation calls for and play off your teammates. If your out front the vets just have to shoot around you. If there a a bunch of gunners drop back a lil and let the vets shoot them.

@@rchelipilot3581 don’t listen to this guy he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground. Lol😊

Happy to help!

Glad it was helpful!

Im a vet and that shit annoys me too. When see a psycher about to pop someones head, I immediately get a bead on another target. Why waste ammo on something thats already dead? And why steal your kill?

Vets have to deal with people constantly running in their line of fire, not covering sides or your back. We ping high prio targets while immediately shooting them. Yes Vets don’t need to focus targets you’ll pop but if you ever played a lasgun before, in the heat of a fight, you literally see RED. I don’t double check if a psyker suddenly decides to cast on a target in my line of fire. And its not like most vet builds have an ammo problem …

Because stinky psykers need to go away. Trying to have fun shooting chainswording things and you addled chaos alzheimer wizards have to kill every single damn thing in a wave.

hehe

So do I! Thank you!

The higher difficulties have gotten a little harder because of the crafting changes making playing Heresy and Damnation more attractive and efficient for farming materials and loot. That being said, the player skill going into these difficulties... doesn't translate well and some of them think they can afford to be Rambo.. (which they quickly learn they can't)

I absolutely agree with that being a Deep Rock Galactic player really helped me understand the core game much better and faster than it usually takes me.

Glad this was informative for you!

I'm glad I've had some luck then on quick play we m o s t l y avoid them but there are those few.

@@johndortheknight4802 Yeah I had more luck closer to Beta but lately....

Nice

there's a kick feature?

I've never had a teammate bad enough to warrant kicking them.

@@Amoogus oh I have. Had an Ogryn who kept helping allies up and then cancelling the instant they were about to get up, then start helping again before anyone could do it for real. Then they'd dance around in front of an elevator for minutes at a time before we could progress. Took all the ammo even if he'd just shot like three or four bullets. Then wouldn't get into the extraction point at the end.

Thank you for the support!
