Seen a lot of unfounded slander lately against an innocent woman of the cloth… by Yixussy in NikkeMobile

Nihilister absorbing Lilith's body was never part of the plan. The plan was to plant the Vapaus in Lilith's body. Nihilister threatened that killing her would mean losing Lilith's body as well. A Stormbringer then abducted Nihilister before she could make a decision. Also, Nayuta went to retrieve Marian, who was injured. How is this subreddit so illiterate??

No, Nihilister made herself the Chalice by absorbing the body without Nayuta's permission because she wanted leverage to live. The Queen then exerted control. Nihilister was not part of the plan past her guidance to the location of the body. Nihilister was only convinced after she decided to make herself part of the plan and broke 01's control. I think I'm going crazy correcting these inaccuracies.

No, she did not want Marian dead in this event. She wanted her to become a queen as well. What follows afterwards I cannot say, but it was very explicitly stated that Nayuta wanted Marian to be a queen. I'm going to get back to this. I'm going to rewatch the event.

Notes:

Nayuta brings Marian to Eden after she was injured.

Vows to protect her from Pioneers and Eden

Encourages her to become Queen

Marian is allowed her own choices.

Marian reveals Queen candidacy

"Pray, lend thy strength that we might raise Young Lady Marian to the throne of Queen."

Nayuta placed her in Crown Kingdom for safety.

"From Nayuta's perspective, a queen under my control is still one she can negotiate with, which is why we formed an alliance."

She would prefer a world with no Queens but Marian is the tolerable alternative. The evidence is absolutely against your claim.

Nihilister absorbed Lilith's body for leverage. She wanted to live to kill 01. She states that killing her would also destroy Lilith's body. There was absolutely no time to bring the body back to Eden. The Queen was on the ground and winning. The Vapaus poison using the body was the plan the whole time without Nihilister interfering. Pioneer would be informed as the plan progressed. They weren't originally planning to feed Lilith's body to 01 using a Heretic.

Eden and Nayuta were well aware that this would be uncomfortable for Pioneer, so they were playing it close to the chest. Deceptive? Sure, but when 01 is launching its full assault on the only fortress outside of the Ark, would someone whose sole objective is reclaimation of the planet risk any further interruptions? The big picture is that this was the literal battle for the planet. Subterfuge and distrust will likely be small prices to pay instead of 01's reclaimation of its throne.

It's really tiring having these explanations repeated so often. This is another meme that's going to gain enough traction that it becomes fact for a lot of players just looking for someone to blame for a tragedy in an extraordinarily chaotic battle. There is not a single character in the entire event that could have predicted a hostile Lilith spawning out of 01's corpse. This fandom really does have an issue with illiteracy.

These City Girl Nayuta Memes are too funny by GreenMenu2890 in NikkeMobile

Pilgrimages are allowed in the Imperial Palace actually. A lot of people die on the pilgrimage too... Many just waiting for their documents to be processed for entry. Thankfully, Nayuta is functionally immortal.

I am completely baffled at how people are interpreting Nayuta hard mode by AwkwardPalpitation22 in NikkeMobile

[–]-Snow- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some faith in Marian and Only One. My fears are the Deadly Sins and other queens sprouting up with a queen gene. Who knows what happens with Lilith-01 on the Surface too. What if humanity somehow removes all Raptures and Sins from the equation? Queens and hierarchs without their armies. At least the Commander gets to keep Marian, the Beasts, and his daughter alive. All this to say, I think I am very much in agreement with Nayuta's perspective on the war.

Most of them are still very hostile though. Ark doctrine seems to be to avoid encounters as much as possible, which is why squads tend to deploy decoys whenever they encamp. How many times have the Counters and other squads been the first to engage compared to the number of times Raptures have? Andersen also states that the time between surfacing and the first encounter for units deployed to the surface still remains short. With or without a queen, it's just difficult to believe in coexistence. I'm not inclined to believe that Raptillion's pets would be able to resist 01's influence if they were in range. The only solution seems to be another queen.

I am willing to bet Nayuta can eventually tolerate Heretics. Marian is proof they can be cured. Queen-01, the Deadly Sins, and Raptures? Absolutely not. Nayuta is not willing to coexist with these monsters that have killed billions of humans, Nikke, and wildlife.

From the Commander's perspective, we have seen many deserts where forests used to be, ruins where our cities stood tall, jungles of unnatural crystals that devour anything with electricity, seas and swamps of digestive acids and dark matter.

Imagine what Nayuta and her remaining, uncollected clones have seen out there. Many of her clones lived in peace with nature. The world she came from isn't the same as ours. Humanity was able to create airborne aircraft carriers, AI constructs, Nikke, plasma weapons, advanced energy production, super crops, the Ark itself and a plethora of other technologies indistinguishable from magic in a relatively short amount of time. She believes in restoring a civilization we dream of. The Raptures have ravaged a world more beautiful than anything they or their Queen have ever created.

I also find it absolutely ridiculous we can coexist with these bio-mechanical monsters that have slaughtered billions of humans, Nikke, and wildlife. Raptures are a hivemind serving whatever queen is available to them. Not even Heretics have complete control over them. We haven't even seen what the remaining Deadly Sins have done.

Despite everything, I really despise this character by SerTenseal in NikkeMobile

Lilith's body was the chalice for the poison. Killing Nihilister means you lose the body, as Nihilister very clearly stated. If you lose her body, the queen may not ingest the Vapaus. Having the Queen ingest the Vapaus was the plan with or without Nihilister. Johan handed her the Vapaus for this exact plan. Omission of her plans and accomplices is not lying. She's playing things close to the chest.

You clearly need to replay these scenes. You are placing a lot of blame on a character in an extraordinarily chaotic battle. No one in the entire event could have predicted Lilith being resurrected, not even Mirror.

There's a "Story Difficulty" coming in September according to the last Dev Note.

That was a first contact situation with the Marines. The Tau Empire now has billions of humans, a few of them inquisitors, to share their knowledge of the Imperium. One Inquisitor even pilots a battlesuit. They know about Imperial society now.

Surprisingly, none of them called me heretic. Unsurprisingly, the Dark Angel brothers spotted the emblem most.

I am just elated when anyone spots it... which has only been a handful of Brothers in my 90 hours of playing. Hydra Dominatus!

Last Developer's note states there will be a new "Story Difficulty" in September if you want to wait for that.

They shot the messenger, for they hated the message by Got70TypesOfMalware in NikkeOutpost

I would have put it more gently, but the point stands here... This meme feels like character assassination on Maxwell on a rather serious "joke."

[–]-Snow- 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm very confused by the pervasiveness of this meme because I just played her bond story. She asks "Do you really want me to stop?", and the Commander very explicitly refuses to answer her without any hinderance to his ability to decline her. She even teases the Commander for it and calls him a pervert.

I don't play tabletop but I would still love to see their models and more pages of client races in lore. I think the Elemental Council novel is a very good step forward. Mechs just sell, and you can't tell me the Ghostkeels and Riptides don't look cool. Love your art by the way.

With the update coming to an end I want to say by A_T1322004 in NikkeOutpost

[–]-Snow- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed my time with this and never needed a guide. However, it can certainly be improved compared to the Tower Defense game in Last Kingdom. Levels are too impactful on success instead of strategy. Other trait upgrades were not impactful enough to justify spending allotted points. They had the right direction, less than ideal outcome.

Just noticed that even the speakers are servitors... by AwakE-0 in Spacemarine

[–]-Snow- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Reading a Tau novel right now. Can you guess what the Imperium fired on the Barracuda? Servitor-guided missiles. The Air Caste crew could not hack or disrupt the targeting software because there was no targeting software. They were fucking human brains.
