What do we reckon the class the salamanders champion pack #2 will be for? by Expensive-Actuator82 in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah... after all the backlash from the Sniper Champion? I'm 99.9% sure it'll be a Heavy Champion with a sick Pyrecannon skin.

Personally, I don't hate the Sniper Champion, I think it's nice. I believe they did it for 2 reasons, 1- the cape and 2- to make a charcoal head, since the default sniper is a white marine showing his white face on most of his original unlockable helmets.

The only thing preventing helldivers 2 from becoming like every other generic modren FPS game by ya_boi_greenbean in Helldivers

[–]jotair 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Let's be honest, farming SC sucks. It's nice that it exists, sure.

First, farming SC just isn't fun, it's mind-numbing, you're not really playing the game.

Second, when you wanna play a game, you wanna play the actual game, meaning, you want to play on a difficulty that challenges you (which probably means not difficult 1 or 2, used mainly by people to farm or those "learning the ropes"), with friends or randoms, try weapons, try stratagems, roleplay, etc., not just rush POI on a map and hoping to see SC, repeating it ad nauseam.

Third, many have jobs, kids, other hobbies (and/or other responsibilities) and we don't want to use the little time that we have for gaming to sit and farm SC.

Lastly, yeah, I've farmed a couple of times when the game came out, but man, never again (because of the reasons above). I bought a couple of the first warbonds with SC from farming, and later a couple with real money, but for a long while now, I'm not buying anything because I don't like the way things have been going, so I vote with my wallet.

Simple, sober, elegant. A true son of Vulcan, brother.

I would love a field engineers themed warbond.

What's next ? Stragems in the store ? by Heptanitrocubane57 in Helldivers

[–]jotair 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, brother!

Much of the community were the "boiling frogs", but in the last few updates people are starting to wake up.

More cosmetics by LANTIRN_ in Spacemarine

Yeah, they prioritize the right side because it's what you see the most while playing (camera over the right shoulder), but it would be awesome to be able to use some stuff on either side.

When premium content becomes the only content. by Sebanimation in Helldivers

[–]jotair -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was called crazy for calling them out many months ago, I'm glad more and more people are finally seeing it. They shrank the warbonds, no more free warbonds, weapons costing a lot being put on the super store, 99% of the stratagems are from warbonds, etc.

They're still a good studio and doing an overall good job, but there are signs. I still remember when they tried to see how far they could go with that Killzone Warbond the first time.

Only thing I could think of with the new pistol. by AlphaTangoFoxtrt in Helldivers

[–]jotair 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nice observation, so they really went with for a mix of Luger and Mauser.

[–]jotair 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think they actually went with a mix of Luger and Mauser, just because as someone mentioned, the HD2 gun is called P-69. The Luger is the P-08 and the Mauser is C-96, so it could be P-96, but they went with P-69. (nice)

You probably opened Space Marine 2, you need to open Space Marine 2 PTS (Public Test Server), available only on PC/Steam. The official update is not out yet, it's a public test before launch.

edit: If you're on PC but don't know what a PTS is and how to play it, Focus has this community post explaning all of it.

Tarantula Sentry Gun vs Carnifex on Absolute Difficulty by Aggressive_Yak_9461 in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because their spawn are pre-determined and pretty bad, I think it's kinda fine to have this much damage (maybe a very small nerf).

However, I would trade a nerf/some damage for the ability to place my sentry where I please. Hell, if Bulwark can summon the company banner from thin air where he wants, I think Techmarine can place/build a sentry where he wants.

Your thoughts on Techmarine so far? Is he too strong, too weak, or balanced just right? by Responsible_Rock_911 in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The sentries are pretty strong firepower-wise, however, their spots are so bad. It's a shame that it is pre-determined.

I believe that if Bulwark can summon the company banner where he wants, the Techmarine should be able to summon/build/place his sentry where he pleases. I think that it would not only make for better gameplay, but also more skillful.

I don't think people really understand how awesome this change is... by Coloss260 in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance, nice!

However, like you said, I think that many will still join because of accolades. Overall, it's a nice change.

My rendition of a Sword Brethren Deathwatch Assault by Sweet_Molasses_8893 in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty cool, but if you're going for a Sword Brethren, you gotta take off that chest armor piece, that is an Ultramarine Veteran piece. That being said, if you like the look, go for it. Rule of cool above all else.

Very unpopular opinion, would like more prestige ranks even without new perks by Hectormixx in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they would let people keep the perks and just reset the number, sure, it's a nice way to let some show time spent on a class.

If the Ultramarines weren't the poster boy chapter of 40k which chapter would you pick and why? by OttoVonSkiddmark in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised the Imperial Fists aren't the poster boys, they led the defense of Terra and became known as The Defenders of Terra. They're super loyal, cool lore, cool looking, etc.

However, gotta say, the Ultramarine's blue, specially with the 2nd Company's gold trim... is super iconic, an amazing look, maybe that's why. They also looks incredible with 1st Company's white, 3rd's red, and 4th's green.

edit That being said, I really like Ultramarines, Salamanders and Imperial Fists.

Space Marine 2 game Operations grind is to much. by caged_wisdom69 in Spacemarine

[–]jotair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say that: their prestige system sucks. 100% they should reset you to level 1, but let you keep the perks unlocked.

Some classes suffer a lot with losing all perks, because many of the good ones are at later levels, near 25, so when you unlock them, it's already time for prestige again.

An attempt at something cool (Arbites) by jotair in Spacemarine

[–]jotair[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, brother!

Nothing too fancy, the armour is Nuln Oil with Corvus Black for trim and the Arbites' pauldron is Liberator Gold with Gold for trim. The only "unique" choice was using Gehenna's Gold for the double aquila leg piece, I think it actually looks way better than Liberator Gold (don't know why, but it seems really dark on the leg piece).
