Bound by Duty - Free Update Out Now

[CH3DD4R_G0B-L1N]

anyone else have their space cop builds nuked like it got one of the tree reworks?

[zaygr]

My friend did, I was playing veteran all night. I had to redo the talent tree about 6 times for the same build since it reset every time I loaded into the mourningstar.

[CH3DD4R_G0B-L1N]

I just booted it up to work on redoing my others and arby suffered the same fate. Oggy was fine though.

I had a feeling they would be like launch shotgunners (basically rapid fire snipers, since their 360 toughness damage base shot was not impacted by fall off damage originally and they also had spillover damage).

Spearhead Boltgun

The Bolter’s extreme firepower was paired with a very generous ammo reserve, allowing it to be used too liberally over the course of the mission.
We are slightly toning down the amount of ammo, while keeping the magazine size and the overall power of the weapon unchanged.
(Also now the reserves amount will be an actual multiple of the magazine size)

Spearhead Boltgun detailed changes

• Locke Mk IIb
  • Ammo reserves from 100 to 90
  • (Magazine unchanged at 15)

Yay!
Edit: Finaly munitions reserve is dividable by number of bolts in the magazine.

All that’s left is to turn all ammo bars into something that makes more sense and keep magazine, battery and tanks capacity (+ reserve) at the one uniform level for each weapon type.

There is not even one gun that’s feed with a clip in Darktide:

Taken by the warp, I’m afraid.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Class Balance is an ever ongoing challenge, but we intend to take a slightly different approach as we want to increase the cadence of balance adjustments

The most exciting thing for me.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

New: If overload kills an Elite Enemy, you don’t take corruption damage.

Do you still take damage? Or just not corruption damage?

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Determined
Removed and made into Base Passive

Base Stamina Regeneration Delay
1s → 0.75s

Base Critical Strike Chance

5% → 10%

It would be nice to have these changes be visible inside the talent tree at the top for players that are more casual and may not notice or see the differences between classes like base crit chance and such.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Psyker players have an extra unique bonus due to them being the original carriers of this weapon: at the cost of 4% Peril, they gain significantly increased Riposte attack strength.

For Balance it makes sense to me for certain weapons to behave differently across classes. Still in favour of “marks” being class specific (The way a psyker and a zealot swing the same sword will be different).

For the duelling sword nerf, makes sense. I do think there needs to be more “choice” in that you can’t be super good at everything and you gotta make some sacrifices as to what you’re good at. Hordes, elites, ragers, specials, armor, monsters, etc. Give some purpose to others in your team being super good at something and being “ok” maybe at everything else. Or super good at two things, but bad at everything else. Or “good” at most things and ok at one thing or something. Have a reason for role specialization and team work.s

@FatsharkQuickpaw

In this update, we added the Dodge Counter to the HUD.

Nice! This is especially good for people who can’t or don’t use mods.

I haven’t played yet or had a chance to use it, but always appreciate trying to fiddle with things to find balance (just need to ensure the cadence is set). Why create new weapons and content when some simple balance tweaks can make people want to try dozens of weapons currently in the game? I am going to have to do a lot of testing with Psyker, Zealot, Ogyrn, and Veteran now. Yay! Force me to try new builds!

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Updated the “Mortis Elite” Penance to include newly released Indulgence Archetypes

• The Penance has been reworked to require completing Mortis Trials missions using any 5 Indulgence Archetypes
• An additional Penance has been added, requiring to complete Mortis Trials missions using all 7 Indulgence Archetypes

Can we get more penance rewards and penance cosmetics for Arbites?

Alfthequickcoder got his hotfix out already (Markers All In One):

If psych ward isn’t working I’m gonna be building lego instead. I cannot load the morningstar after every.game. Fat Shark servers can communicate with MY backend.

[brosgw]

It’s working for me.

[CH3DD4R_G0B-L1N]

same

[Antilus]

that ‘‘free update’’ give me non zero anxiety

[Ragnarok101]

That’s been their standard go-to since Arbites, probably to differentiate from DLC content.

[Scipo0419]

Someone flagged this as Spam, I’ll edit it to unhide it when I can. I just wanted to say that if you’re so sick of seeing me call out Fatshark on their lies, then maybe you should help me get them to deliver on promises they made almost three years ago? Then I wouldn’t have to “spam” the forums about how Fatshark won’t give us Solo Mode

Edit: You flagging this just means a CM has to review it btw

[Auden]

The post patch CDR talent triggers are now:

Zealot - melee crit against any target

Psyker - you or ally kill an elite or specialist

Ogryn - you or ally kill an elite

Veteran - you kill a specialist

No opposition to the game wide CDR revamp, but Veterans are really getting the short end of the stick for trigger conditions compared to the other classes. Forcing Veterans to play the “Kill Specialists before Dogs, DoTs, or caffeinated teammates every 3 seconds” should not be the solution to disliking yellow toughness.

The Bolter’s extreme firepower was paired with a very generous ammo reserve, allowing it to be used too liberally over the course of the mission.

So we are using the Boltgun too much. And this is a bad thing.

Thank you Fatshark for this excellent game Darktide.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Finally, specific changes were made to the Mk V mark. Since it lacks the Heavy Strikedown Stab, its Heavy Strikedown attack power has been increased, particularly against Unyielding armour. The Mk V also benefits from a stronger Riposte attack compared to its siblings.

I tried it on gun psyker, monster bosses cooked.

@FatsharkQuickpaw

Players now will find a “Campaign Playlist” option in the Mission Terminal, where they can see an overview of the Battle for Tertium campaign and replay previously completed Campaign Missions.

just let us pick our modifiers please

@exxco

how about implementing the life bars to the Elites and bosses to?

Over my dead body. Take your obtrusive arcade BS somewhere else.
