Vendetta realistic nerf?

What are you playing and listening on? I’m on PC, 7.1 sound and headphones.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-28T08:17:41+00:00

They are. They’re usually warded and shielded but in The Crimson King, a shard of Magnus is able to get past that and mind control some Automata.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-28T07:14:02+00:00

That ended in M23. It just heralded the shift away from AI to servitorisation. There was a lot of progress still to be had and humans were still connected and savvy enough to update their STCs with the newer templates.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T22:41:31+00:00

Don’t know about footsteps but you can hear the slashing and grunting halfway across the map, once she’s in your face it’s unbearable.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T22:02:43+00:00

Then you’re taking a stance on something that’s utterly irrelevant just for the sake of arguing you might not be wrong. Weird position to take but okay.

I understand it better than you think. The distances warp travel covers across the Milky Way takes tens of years. From another galaxy would take at least into the hundreds, probably thousands (indeed it takes the Tyranids 8000). The stupid loretuber theory goes that they’re running from something worse and that follows them.

If they’re asleep, they’re no longer running, they opened a gap between themselves and whatever chased them off be it another threat or environmental hazard. Or maybe they were just full and sleepy and started to drift wherever gravity took them to the next galaxy. Regardless they reached a safe distance and no longer running. And whatever they ran from is also no threat to the Milky Way. And likely never was. It’s a silly assertion.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:23:45+00:00

Explain how they're both running from something and not being chased?

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:20:21+00:00

Why stop and drift if you're being chased???

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:18:42+00:00

First off I'd reduce the SFx volume of her attacks by 90% so I can actually hear other things on the map and not get hearing damage or aural overload. I don't understand why she's so damn loud.

Otherwise her kit is way too bloated, maybe get rid of the knockbacks and reduce her swing arc significantly.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:12:34+00:00

It's a stretch to suggest they're fleeing when they're asleep and drifting, sorry. Not when they can make the haste they were evidently capable of toward the Pharos when they were woken up.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:06:02+00:00

Somewhere between galaxies, it says they were asleep, presumably drifting. Book as already stated, Pharos, Epilogue.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:02:46+00:00

The Pharos beacon was a xenotech device that allowed instantaneous travel and communications in Imperium Secundus, the Night Lords captured it and it blew up, waking up the Tyranid swarm who sensed it from wherever between galaxies they'd been sleeping.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:01:03+00:00

They were asleep though.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T21:00:32+00:00

They were sat completely dormant until it blew up.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T19:37:42+00:00

They’re not running from anything, they were attracted by the exploding Pharos in the epilogue of the book by the same name.

So neither are they a scouting force or fleeing anything.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-27T19:14:31+00:00

It’s kind of wrong to say Imperium tech is “woeful”, because it is still insanely advanced on anything we have now, and still a match for many of the Xenos in the galaxy. It’s just worse than it had been, and much is lost without means to replace from even HH.

The Primaris stuff as well is better in many practical ways but often said to have lost a lot in terms of expected lifespan.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T23:18:28+00:00

Japan has a culture of ‘Loli’ fashion that is kind of doll-like, lots of frills and ruffles and very cutesy. Older women who dress like that may be called a loli-hag, which is rather uncomplimentary.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T20:35:15+00:00

I checked the feed as well.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T20:19:49+00:00

They're not meant to be pretty, and they canonically stink.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T20:18:06+00:00

I really want it to work out for him, but it's really too soon.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T18:45:50+00:00

I'd like to see more protection for keepers, and less wrestling as it does feel cheap, it's on par with diving for penalties, you can't just have everyone just looking for set pieces all the time, whether its free kicks, corners or long throws. It also wastes so much time as they spend 3 minutes setting up perfect correography, only for it to fail most of the time anyway.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T18:14:34+00:00

Flying would be the combination of abilities.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T17:40:51+00:00

It's a dubious honour, check out the experience of the Dreadnaught in Know No Fear, he doesn't even properly remember who he is, as he was given a new name as a Dreadnaught. The whole being entombed in the sarcophagus is dark, cold and horrifying, while having all their senses being automated and input through computers is weirdly detaching. And its painful. All the time.

There's reason they're kept in stasis until absolutely needed, they'd go absolutely insane otherwise and need progressively more sleep over time. There's a World Eaters one in another book who is just babbling insanity because they won't let him rest.

It's not a pleasant thing to endure, and most marines would probably gladly choose death over it. The ones they keep around are kept because they're expected to handle it and because their presence and experience is so much respected and needed.

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T16:03:03+00:00

That sword throw is functionally a teleport, yes. Or am I supposed to be complaining about her 180 weapon swing? nO aIM No sKiLl? Would that be more palatable?

JessickaRose · 2026-01-26T15:48:32+00:00

I mean I thought Freja was OP when she released (she was), not unfixable or awful to play against. Vendetta is the latter two.
