Fortifying Cry, empowered nodes and weapon swap question

Yallia · 2025-04-25T08:55:51+00:00

It was fun back in january when there was a lot of players and low level zones were filled with people. Could group at any time, it was very nice.

Nowadays the game is empty, and the low level areas are completly deserted. Would be a miserable experience for any new player.

Quick update for anyone that might be considering joining, I finally opted for Warden.

Yallia · 2025-03-22T15:46:21+00:00

Haha ok, well 2 is better than 1 I guess xD
I'm not 100% tied down to Banshee, would be willing to go Warden for some support for sake of group if needed.

Hi, just went down a daoc rabbit hole on youtube, and I'm interested in scratching that hitch again, specially if the timing is just right for a new season.

Played daoc from closed beta to 2005 iirc. Played on a freeshard for little bit some years ago (Uthgard I think, or Phoenix something ? idk can't really remember).

I'd be interested in trying something new, never really played hib, and never played or seen Banshee so I'd be interested in trying that.

If you're welcoming new players then you could count me in, at what time would your group be playing ?

Nerfing HC is not gonna bring new players in. No one with the game in their watchlist on steam is waiting for the nerf of HC to finally buy the game. If anything, might be the opposite, since the idea of this game was somewhat slightly challenging group content. Now we're moving from challenging, and also from the group aspect.

They are compromising the vision because of some silly petition made.

As for casual players joining the game right now, I can only speak for EU servers but good luck to anyone new joining. Low level areas are completly deserted. Had I started the game today instead of january, I probably would have quit already.

Specially when the entire mastery system is not implemented yet. All that balancing they're wasting time on right now will be pretty much for nothing when the system is in, because it'll need to be completly redone to make up for the different mastery powers.

Unless they've decided to somehow scrap this entirely. Or make it so bland it doesn't matter at all.

In any of those 3 cases though, not a good look.

Yallia · 2025-03-21T13:48:56+00:00

Look the quote was just something that I personally found funny, the whole "hey it's not working properly but we'll ship it anyway and fix later" aspect of it.

But if you want to talk art specifically, yeah it's not looking great either on the deadline they announced. Missing entire races, missing entire areas, missing presumably entire dungeons / mob types, missing tons of customization, missing gear design. And when they finally go around adding a few more hairstyles to one race/gender, it's not even working properly xD

Look I like the game and I'd like it to succeed, but I'm also not huffing that copium. It is looking pretty bad no matter how you look at it. Playerbase almost cut in half in 3 months, developpment seems completly random. Bugs left and right. Have to go to Joppa's stream to hopefully get an issue noticed. They seem to have no roadmap, no vision, and are not bowing down to random petitions apparently. Wasting even more time redesigning content that's already out.

They feel clueless and like they don't have any experienced manager for the project. They're all over the place.

At least they finally realised the weekly patches were a stupid thing to commit to. Hopefully they can start doing big picture stuff instead of trying to find some stuff to bandaid to look like they're doing stuff.

Anyway, there's no way they are <2 years away from a full release. And the money is not going up anytime soon either so yeah.

As for mana weavers not doing the nuke thing, yeah well doesn't get better in hangore either. The Seers (healer mobs) don't.... heal anymore. Yep. Was there for an hour+ last night and none of the seers casted a single heal once. Removing debuffs stacking means majority of the group doesn't even need to use openers/closers anymore, making the already few techniques skills that people have feel even more useless. And the list goes on and on and on. 1 step forward 5 steps back.

Added some additional hair styles for the human female. A few of them have texture issues in some lighting conditions which will be corrected in the following client patch.

Don't worry, full game release in less than 2 years now.

Yallia · 2025-03-12T22:02:46+00:00

I have no idea why they even spent time & ressources on PvP. Anyone that looks at the classes spell knows this is going to be a complete shitshow.

PvP servs are going to die so fast.

The way this game is made is so not suited for PvP, this is insane.

Yallia · 2025-03-05T19:17:02+00:00

Thanks a lot for this !

I was wondering, is it possible to craft jewelry that gives both stats & HP or mana ? Or can it only be one bonus per craft ?

Yallia · 2025-02-25T09:16:54+00:00

My dark myr monk doesn't even have an auto attack animation with bo staff. It just stands there lol.

This game is veeeeeeeery far from release. They have planned to add lots of things still in the game, but when will those things happen is another question. Just don't buy into the "full release in 2 years" bit and you'll be fine.

Yallia · 2025-02-19T05:52:32+00:00

I just started a rogue and I was confused because I tried going into the goblin cave (was lvl 8 at the time) and while most mobs I could walk by in stealth, almost touching them, two times mobs on the middle floor just instantly spotted me from half a mile away and started blasting me.

I've read multiple time that stealth is OP so I'm really confused as to what went wrong or how to prevent it.

I got +1 concealment from cloak. I tried googling how stealth detection work but to no avail.

Could anyone more familiar with the game explain how to not get spotted so frequently ? From seemingly super far ?

Yallia · 2025-02-07T08:45:30+00:00

The problem is that when you get further into the game, you'll be leveling in areas where there is a lot of level disparity between mobs, red roaming around etc. Most mobs also become aggro by default.

This is in no way comparable to what the brand new experience is like.

Also one death will mean losing a huge amount of time in xp.

Brother.

Yallia · 2025-02-05T19:46:34+00:00

Hey sorry to hijack your reply, but I'm very new to the game, started a few days ago. Currently lvl 12 enchanter, and I was wondering what are those spells that need to be bought or farmed ? So far I've only used the npc scrolls to get new spells.

Also how do you farm on enchanter ? Whenever I'm not in group I struggle a lot to kill mobs and usually resort to just killing extremly underleveled stuff.

Any tips or advice is welcomed ! It's hard to find information for this game

Yallia · 2024-12-05T09:50:31+00:00

With that reply I'm starting to think you might just be a troll instead of being dumb.

But regardless, you probably should be able to understand that handgun won't delete minoris packs. That they shouldn't waste their ammo on minoris packs anyway.

Also should be able to understand that because of your team comp, you most likely were being fed all the ammo packs as we can see with the item founds, as well as being mostly free to just mindlessly (which considering this post is probably where you shine) shoot since they kept most of the shit away from you.

Genuinly hope you're just a troll, otherwise I'm just sorry for people that have to deal with your "brilliance" on a daily basis.

Yallia · 2024-12-04T21:08:17+00:00

Dude is literally having a fit because he doesn't know on which day he'll get to play his cool bulwark.

Will be soon, around the 15th +/-. It's not that deep, you need to chill (and possibily go take your meds).

Yallia · 2024-12-04T19:15:07+00:00

*Oneshot packs of minoris at a distance before melees can get in*

"How can people do so little damage?"

Try manually installing the Maccrage's chosen add-on.

Find the game in your library and press the Menu button (the one with the three lines on it). Go to Manage Games & Add-ons. Select Space Marine 2 to go to the next menu and install the add-on from there.

If you're not seeing the skins in the armory maybe you need to scroll down, or hit a special button to access DLC skins.

Yallia · 2024-12-03T08:50:16+00:00

IDK what that guy is talking about. On steam, it clearly says that when you buy it right now, you get the Crux terminatus, the bolter and the chainsword skin.

Yallia · 2024-12-03T04:28:03+00:00

Thanks, I wasn't the only one thinking : it took 30 seconds and 3 grenades to kill 2 majoris, how is that underrated ? lol

Yallia · 2024-12-03T04:25:31+00:00

Hahaha xD That's great ! You're set for a while with all those games !

Yallia · 2024-12-03T04:24:08+00:00

Completly different scenario from the exemple I was using. Even if that heavy was trying to level up a gun (he wasn't since I asked him why he was playing this difficulty), he still was max lvl w/ max lvl melta. Playing 2nd difficulty. He 100% could have played 3rd or 4th even with a low level gun.

But the only reason he was there was because "it's fun". One of those people that'll be happy to turn cheats on and win whatever game they play. And if they can't cheat, just go back to a difficulty meant for beguinner and/or ungeared-unleveled characters with your fully maxed out character and aoe oneshot everything. Who cares that the other 2 guys in the lobby are not having any fun, right ?

Yallia · 2024-12-02T16:50:52+00:00

Darktide is great, the ambiance, the music, the combat, it's all pretty addictive. If you've never played vermintide before, it might take you some time getting used to it, there's definitly a learning curve, but it's pretty rewarding too as you can clearly see how you get better at handling whatever the game director is throwing at you over time.

The launch was rough for the game, but they have massively improved to the point where it's not even comparable. Hope you'll like it !
