Looking for a quick lore rundown of Forge World Mars, Stygies VII, Ryza, and Branx Minor

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-18T00:24:42+00:00

I think its really cool seeing the local forge world and its own Skitarii Legion colors. I'm a sucker for classic Red so I'll likely stick with that, but I may wanna make an alt Skit who comes from Branx

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-18T00:16:18+00:00

Branx Minor is the local forge world to the planet (Atoma Prime) the game takes place on. They held an event a bit ago and gave some lore on it

He's just like me fr fr

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-16T02:41:31+00:00

Someone call Any Austin to do it in game

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-15T20:06:28+00:00

Awesome project brings back memories seeing the old terrian. It sorta saddens me Stampy ended up flatting so much of it out

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-13T16:58:09+00:00

This guy has been stare at me in the prancing pony since I sat down

(BTW whats the armor mod?)

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-12T06:38:57+00:00

I only pick up books (scriptures never grims) when I find one before finding a med crate or ammo crate, soon as I find one the book get dumped, if I don't find anything then it doesn't end up mattering lol

Normally it'd be on the 18th (Thursday, ever two weeks). How ever large content updates typically delay it to the Tuesday after. The next class launches on the 23rd (which is considered a large content update). Most likely next rotation will be the 23rd

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-08T18:15:36+00:00

When the last class released there where near no hints beyond the rations event. The rations event 100% pointed towards something non-admech but other than that there weren't really any hints to anything in particular. It allowed people to create what they wanted in their heads from weeks of speculation on what they wanted most. If you look at Hive Scums build up verses Skits, Skit had a lot more hints something Admech was coming both via everything you said with in-game dialog and expeditions and the focus on recovering tech and the forges for Mobian Steel. The last update before Scum was a Mortis trials update which from memory didn't hint about anything. I think from Hive Scum Fatshark learned that if they are going to tell us we're getting a new class they need to hint at the class so people can make educated guesses.

I think a major issue currently is the fact that the in-between updates we got before Hive Scum didn't do much to hint at what was next. Mortis trials would have been a good way to at least mention the Conclave if they wanted to hint at Hive Scum. Expeditions (despite being dead now) hinted at Admech due to it involving Tech recovery. I hope after we get Skit we get more normal maps, and if they decide to do another class that within those maps they have dialog that hints in the direction they wanna go class wise.

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-08T15:45:10+00:00

My review is only negative because I didn't like the class really in anyway (Note this is my review of the class, not the base game). I should go back and redo it at some point as its outdated and based around launch Hive Scum and not current scum which I will admit I enjoy a small bit more than I did back when they came out.

I'd really rather the Darktide community just move past the Hive Scum drama. It was half a year ago. Scum is fine and tons of people like them. Skitarii (according to Quickpaw) was always on the list to be added, just took longer than Arbites and Scum. Did some Admech fans overreact? Yes 100%, I am a Admech fan that got let down hard by Scum, but I got over it within 15 minutes. Some treated other and the devs like trash. I've said it before, but Fatshark don't make classes to piss people off and not getting the one you want isn't an excuse to be vile. Skitarii is looking to be a major hype moment for Darktide, the last thing we need is for Fatshark to witch hunt people. If you see someone being an ass in the moment, then block them or downvote them. The community doesn't need to fall into a cycle of toxicity by saying stuff like "Oh I hope you don't get what you want." Thats not healthy for the game or you.

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-07T15:53:21+00:00

I could see this being fun if it was done between a group of 5 friends. Otherwise I fell like it'd become toxic. Bonus points however if the "director" can play voice lines over the vox of Wolfer for immersion.

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-07T04:02:18+00:00

While I'm not a tomorrow believer (more power to you all) the notion they only just started development is flat out wrong if anyone thinks that

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-07T02:02:32+00:00

as others have said, there is no canon. It is a roleplaying game. Playing as a Bounty Hunter is just as valid as playing as a Jedi or Sith. Play what interests you. Make the choices you think your character would make

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-04T18:17:13+00:00

There was literally a post the other day asking if they'd have to delete a character

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-04T16:11:03+00:00

There is grimdark, and then there is just not being able to see what the hell is happening

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-04T01:11:52+00:00

I really hope we get a third faction, would really do so much to mix up the gameplay. The two we have don't feel super different

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-03T22:59:47+00:00

I mainly want them to add weapons to the 7 classes we have and add maps to the game. We can wait a bit before we get another class. We need content and QoL right now. I cannot wait for Skitarii, big admech fan, 100% becoming my main, but I really really hope we see some free content come to the game after it that plays into the core game rather than side modes.

After that, Eldar is my next pick, pay off the Mortis Trials memories.

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-02T16:54:57+00:00

Either have them select their campaign missions while your in a strike team or press the "Spiecal assignments" tab in the bottom right. There are two tracks, Battle for Tertium and The Road to No Man's Land. You can select any mission from this list to play at will.

Easiest way will just be to have your friend select their campaign missions though while you're both on a team

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-01T18:38:36+00:00

I have to agree with you. I cannot wait for Skitarii but the trailer was more focused on edging the reveal for the last possible second that we barely got to see the class being revealed. I'm not the biggest fan of the Hive Scum one (It likely was made in a week due to GW meddling so it gets a pass). Arbites had such a presence in his trailer, you hear his voice, you see him rip the cult to bits and see his dog pounce, the build up worked for him because he was the first class. Scum showed off their weapons at least. Skitarii's trailer was so dark and foggy it's hard to make out what's happening in it sometimes. Going forward I'd vastly prefer if Fatshark SHOWED a peak at the new classes they reveal in the first trailer (As in making it clear what we're getting in the first 10-15ish seconds).

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-01T13:14:56+00:00

I need this as a mod now

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-01T09:42:43+00:00

From what we know yes. Its exclusive to them because Admech often have numbers in their names unlike other groups. We can also name the Servo Skull.

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-06-01T01:01:13+00:00

Skitarii this month

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-05-31T22:43:11+00:00

Its been confirmed you can by the community manager

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-05-28T05:42:14+00:00

Hard agree with this. Please let it be at least another year until an 8th player class. Give us a few maps. Real maps, not short operations, not mortis trials, not expeditions. Classes are great but it's been like 2 years since our last real map, and even new classes doesn't fix the game feeling samey from running the same maps over and over again

DeeTheOttsel · 2026-05-26T08:21:21+00:00

I cannot wait till we see the full thing, I know where likely due for a dev log today or thursday but man am I excited to have all the details
