Well I finally got some time to play and he'll I really liked it. I love the new prologue mission that was cool. Can't wait to play some more games.

So I'm level 12 now, got some regular kit so I look less like some mucky criminal. Quickly convinced three of my mates to pick it up as well. Not that it matters overly now you can get bots in a private game. Whether they've added a few updates since the start I'm not sure but I don't quite get the complaints. I think it does an excellent job of making an atmospheric 40k game. Graphically it's very pleasing although I can only manage it on medium with my PC. Very satisfying gunplay and blatting various heretics. It feels like you are actually hitting people unlike Vermintide which felt like hitting through enemies.

I can't wait to see what they come up with down the line... More guns and different planets hopefully.

The fact of the matter olthannon is, that the game was barely qualifying as one even compared to the "Schund" mobile games.

It crashed basically atleast 3 times / match.
Drops were random and mostly bad.
Plassteel was too rare.
Shop was worse. Still is bad.
Upgrading was FAR worse.

They have still a while to go to earn back reputation.

A promised massive update coming next week or so has been scaled back to a smaller content drop, things are all over the place right now. And while private games are a welcome change from having to deal with fluffing randos ruining it for others, solo play is still not possible or even mentioned by the devs since it was announced before launch. 😑

There are more melee weapons planned and slowly being drip fed to us, plus mention of at some point implementing pistol + melee weapon system. Aside from that, we don't really need more ranged weapons right now, quite a few could benefit from a buff or rebalance however, as well.. a lot of them are just not worth taking at the moment. Personally I love the Lucius pattern, but it pales in comparison to the much more boring, but effective and friendlier to use Kantrael pattern lasguns: good rate of fire, fast reload, good ammo pools, no glitchy or lengthy animations when pulling it out and putting it away..

I heard good things about the Lucius Mark 2 from comments online, and it might be because I use it more than the Kantrael, but I get a much better feeling out of using the Lucius Mk2, even with the awful, awful ironsights.

Speaking of those, however, I was watching a Youtube vid and the guy there had a skin or something for his Lucius Mk3, because the sights were actually not awful, and I wonder what skin this could be.

Yeah, some of the cosmetics may alter the physical appearance of the weapon. I've yet to see one for the Lucius, but I have one or two for the Kantrael that change the barrel length.

I'm not sure which of the three Lucius patterns I've been using the most a while ago, it's the one with the stab melee attack.

Also, sigh.

The stab is either Mk1 or 2

This is the vid I am talking about, you can see the difference between Mk 1-2 sights and the 3rd. I got the Mk3 myself the other day, and its sights were the same as the 1-2, so I wonder if there's a skin there or if Fatshark changed the model

Could be that they changed the model, when I feel like it I'm going to hop on the game and compare my Lucius rifles, buy whichever one I am missing for comparison.

I'll also check the premium shop and see if custom skins are included there that radically change the appearance of the guns.

That's fair, I'm happy it's not as bad as that now as I'm playing.

I believe the bayonet Lucius is MK1. I've just unlocked the bolter which is great fun, but I dislike having more ammo.

Great fun with the four of us, just completed our first level 3 which wasn't too strenuous, mind I don't quite fancy trying that just yet with Grimoires.

A massive content drop, has dropped: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1361210/view/3727330936525087954

New weapons, both melee and ranged (take that, me, for being wrong hehe), the weapon vendor got moved closer to the forge, new conditions and a metric feth-ton of other fixes and balances.

The problem is, the people won't hold them to task for long enough to make it matter.

Grimmoires require trinkets that make you resist corruption regardless of level.

New shotguns are fun, the incendiary special is useless though, the amount of damage is does is minimal and hardly any splash damage either sadly.

The new power sword is.. clunky? Need to swing it some more, but a cumbersome activation animation to say the least.

Came back and gave it another round. Still solid but I'm still annoyed by the itemization. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just supposed to be so slow/random once you hit ~400. I rarely see anything that's an upgrade and when I do it's an upgrade of 1-2.

Feeling like it's all just a big downgrade from the Vermintides where getting the weapons and items you wanted (or close enough) wasn't that much of a grind.

Least, I got a nice plasma rifle with lots of crit chance. I've only blown myself up once so far. Moved on from 3s to 4s but I really need to get in the habit of just assuming the Daemon Host I hear is around the next corner. Like right around that corner.

Every time.

Also agree Hellguns would be nice. Also two-handed chain-axes. I'd really like that thematically for my zealot.

Im 550+ Hours into this game, have a max'd out Damnation of all 4 classes, and i still play it daily. I enjoy the gameplay a ton (just like Vermintide 1&2), so that helps with the grinding of weapons and such for me lol. But with that said, At this point, i main my Zealot, and im just trying to get perfect gear for the next big DLC/Update.

I dove back in with an Ogryn. Got a Maul+Shield plus the double barrelled autocannon thing. A horde comes and I try to funnel it into a chokepoint and just spray.

Lots of fun again, though I’m not sure I care for the shield. Give an Ogryn a big ass hammer like the chaos ogryns get!

I also have a problem where I want to start a new operative when I play with someone who is really good at their class.

For my Ogryn, i run the following set-up, and it's fun as hell! I wanted to like the shield, especially with the ability to sit in a corner and tank a DemonHost all day, but the attack pattern is to slow for my tastes.

I have been playing an Ogryn as a couple of friends got the game and so some of us needed new low level characters. I'm loving the heavy stubber, it's a real joy to hold down the trigger and fire into a horde. Don't like the shield at all, doesn't do enough damage with the mace melee. I can see it being useful in later difficulties though.

The shield is pretty much necessary for fighting the Daemonhost, and useful for buying time if your group needs a breather at a choke point. Yeah, it doesn't do dps, but that isn't the point.

I mean logically I understood that when I was playing and 1hwp and shield = tank and thus low damage output. All well and good.

However, me have big stick and want kill with big stick. Hit tiny Nurg with big stick once and still alive? Ogryn sad.

It's still ok. Or OP if you got that one specific blessing.
What you don't like the RNG of Hadron screwing up your weapons? Tough luck.. no i am not salty that hadron screwed up a base 370 + powersord of mine. Nope NOT AT ALL.

There are some cosmetics shown that still haven't made an appearance yet, like the headset and helmet of the trailer veterans, the eyepatch of the priest, as well as more back items, like the big book the priest has in some of the trailer footage.

But more regular Guard uniforms would also be great, Cadian 8th or the like already please.

Might be they're saving it for when the new leaked classes make their appearance, whenever that might be at this point, their updates are still disappointingly selective in what they will and won't address.

A head option with old Cadian-style rebreather has also been leaked, with and without helmet.

Decided to hop back on, update dropped today. Got to play the new map twice, it's a lovely map alright, plenty of new assets in use.

Also feels like they've fixed or tweaked the Lucius in some capacity, I can now more reliably rapid-fire it, instead of the gun skipping every other shot.
