I did that one by accident using an Accatran in a random damnation mission. So its doable.
Fair points.
Still I do believe two points are still valid:
- Majority of penances is not teaching players anything valuable, rather on the contrary.
- If you are not into screening discord for a willing group of players, plenty of them is based on RNG.
I have to say that the cornerstone of Darktide gameplay, progression, even the said penances is RNG. And frankly it gets frustrating after a while.
Example: I play almost exclusively on Damnation, very often on Hi-Int/Shock Trooper gauntlet and long story short, I was not able to get the Ogryn penances done, even with the right build, the AI director just does not align. My usual teammate got them both on our first or second Damnation run ever.
I did the penance for ledging 20 mobs with a psyker in closed beta on one of my first games, before it was made easier.
The hated veteran penances? I did them both on second try. RNG aligned.
I welcome the fact that those by-products of failed brainstorming session will be shelved into the Redacted shelf, where they belong.

yeah I stopped trying to get psyker penances as it’s just gimping my team, can’t really go for them in random groups

Sure, all penances are doable after the addition of Shock Troops, with high intensity on Damnation…
Still does not change the fact, that in order to achieve the ones for Ogryn, for instance, because I’ve already finished all penances for the other classes, you have to set things up more deliberately, with a private group, or ask people in a public match to go out of their way so you can get a penance done, the Ogryn ones being the biggest offender, because getting 7 Ogryns stacked up does not usually happen naturally.
This is stupid.
I really feel like some people just want to find something to argue against, instead of seeing the bigger picture, and somehow commenting “it’s totally doable, what are you talking about? Stop whining. You don’t even need it, unless you’re a crazy completionist.” Like denying a piece of content within the game is a valid counter argument? Baffling.
To clarify things, I created this topic, because I am currently playing as Ogryn, trying to get all my ducks in a row, you know–get the best equipment and blessings to make the grind less excrutiating.
I want to be able to complete the “Don’t stop me now”, “Gone Bowling” and “Heavyweight Champion”, without feeling like I will go mad thinking about the logistics. At the very least, “Don’t Stop Me Now” is easier with High Intensity Shock Troop in T5, the other two, require a bit more thought or planning. You do NOT get to use your bull rush twice in less than 20 seconds without proper curios, feats and preferrably companion feats as well. “Heavyweight Champion” is just plain stupid, at least in terms of how many Ogryns you actually need to get it. Someone suggested it should be 5, and even that is a stretch. I’d be okay with 5, it wouldn’t necessitate having to aggro everything to you and maybe get it.
