I’ll say it again here. I want a preview of all 6 voices saying ‘cryonic rod’ so I know which one I wanna pick going in. If one of those playtester people is reading this I will watch your slop video about hive scum if you include this.
Is the “anarchist” archetype disallowed from having “cartel special” stims?
How do you reckon you’d call them Hive Scums, big man? You call Vets Boss, Zealots Shouty, Psykers Spark Head, Ogryns Pal and Arbitratos Plate-face. So what about them drugged up crackheads?
if all look mal-nu-ish… ogryn call scrawny …scrawny
all those meds and no gainz, ogryn feel sad for scrawny. 
now, on a more serious note (and I got to admit I don’t have a knowledge about who was “first”)
all them 80s “raider” depictions had one common thing going and that was mass above “class”
dumb as bread but for some odd reason they still had access to roids worthy of a mr olympia .
whether it was zeed gang from fist of the north star, mad max 2 with the guy literally call himself “humongous” and the other biker pretty roided out himself, that was the “appeal” of might through simple physical (and primal) force.
where’s that feel here?
all models so far shared the same slim look, guess why my main is ogryn?
why not go the extra mile and make a buff male body for a paid class?
“pointy" 
I was hoping they might do some prodding and agitating like the Loner, maybe calling the Savant out for working with the enforcers, but unfortunately Anarchist slander is alive and well in the 21st century
I appreciate that we get to know the creators more in these dev blogs, even though it’s very brief and not the main goal of the blogs. 
These people have created something I’ve invested thousands of hours in, and .. I just want to meet them and get to know them.. 
The voice acting in Darktide has been great, and Arbites did not disappoint! My Arbites ended up with the Fatalist (female), and that voice’s tone just makes me happy inside when I hear it. Lara Sawalha makes the Fatalist Arbitrator sound kinda young, kinda foreign, a bit too tough for her age, yet kickass and professional all at the same time.
Can’t wait for the Hive Scum voices!
Nice! Just don’t forget that all these guys are from Tertium when you do the character creation screens for them. Also, still waiting on an answer to my previous question: There is still more room for additional classes right? The two that have the hope to see most are admech (which is by far the most anticipated at the moment), and Beastman, while not as widely known in 40k they do exist as both chaos and loyalist, and they do have official minis. Even wilder hopes are for a kroot mercenary or even Aeldari class.
I want the arbitrators to execute every single one of them
This honestly will the best part about Hive Scum, The interactions between the Law and the Priest characters.
That would require a lot more work, especially with all the clipping issues we already have. That’s exactly what they were trying to avoid.
I agree with you though. Any serious game company would have gone that route.
isnt exactly that what we pay for in a dlc??
its sad that the same company (albeit not the same workforce anymore) that gave us darktide is now synonymous with “thats too much work”
Don’t they have about 3-4 months holiday off per year? They chose the wrong country to make a live service game tbh.
well that’s the thing, from the very beginning I never saw darktide as a live service, so on that front they couldn’t disappoint what wasn’t expected.
however, a “full price paid dlc” isn’t a service and it isn’t “live”
it’s an announced optional addition to the game and THAT comes with expectations of a certain work effort being put in.
and for once having some additional male body proportions is one of em, given the drug related nature of the class.
roids en mass and still a stickboy? not the kind of aestethics I had in mind 
especially if numerous other depictions show far more muscular specimen
Our gangers our to busy sniffing jenkem to do roids.
then its not “my ganger”, I prefer beefy raiders that actually look like they won’t fall over getting sneezed at 
Ideally yes.
They themselves have called it live service and very recently too.
Whilst DLC might not be live service strictly speaking, it requires work from the same people whom have to maintain their self-described live service game.
I just wish they would hire more staff. Clearly the fat cats want all the cosmetic profit for themselves lol
i have to say you’re probably right about extra work with clipping issues. a new player model requires ALL cosmetics (already released and future releases stored in the files) to be adapted. whether it’s a beefier dude or a separate female model. that’s like 70-80 complete sets for every class (every 2 weeks over 3 years) and many more smaller items. i’m not happy at all about this as a player, but at least i get the idea since most people look for the path of least resistance at work.
on a side note, the premium dlc page says the new faces, hair styles and tattoos can be used with the new class only, which is a bit disappointing. it’s the same however with arbites, that grim judge dredd face my arby has too isn’t available on other human classes.
