Less Ogryn discussions?

It’s not a complaint, just that I noticed that Ogryn’s discussions usually end real quick or do not appear at all nowadays and I do not know why…
(I am pretty passionate about the fella and kinda envious that Smite is talked about literally everyday)


Like literally NO complaints from other classes since pre-launch beta, nobody has no bone to pick with him, that is good of course.

People usually complain that some one thing is wierd about Ogryn, lackluster or some real cool idea and stop after 2 replies, it’s polite I would say, even gentlemen like :face_with_monocle:

Ogryn balance discussions? They ends as quick as they starts, just some replies like: “Yeah” or some personal opinions on the matter and that’s it

(I really liked that topic, it was fun, but I stopped reading after I made an opinion)

Only ones that are passionate and rather long are META discussions, they are fun to participate in, but usually comes to the conclusion after 2 replies from each person, unless it goes to the rude realm.


My main concern is that the class’s core will remain stagnant as Dev will not do anything with the class and there will be not much to experiment with, or worse - Ogryn will become boring to play as.
(Here I do ignore that new content will be added, but the fact that Ogryn will always recieve less content than others is the reason why I did that)

That may go to any other class, and I have a biased opinion towards the Ogryn

But maybe it’s just me, what do you think?

I think Ogryn is just too cut and dry.

Try slandering him with a bunch of factually false statements like how +wounds is good. The best discourse is always an internet fist fight, imo (no, fr, the other thread took off because the OP was hatin).

Ogryns used to block other players’ shots a lot. That got fixed.

It’s an effective class with passionate players. I’ve seen more detailed maths in a video about latrine shovels than any other Darktide video so I assume it attracts engineers.

The lack of build diversity bores me but maybe some people like that simplicity.

Ogryn’s a super strong class but boring to play, gun ogryn may be the only form of ogryn that’s at least a little interesting in my experience.

So I play the other classes instead, which have a more fun/interesting playstyle.

Lmao hate threads do get more attention usually unless the topic is something that is nigh unanimously accepted or opposed, making it less interesting in a way.

The most popular discourses are ones that are very wrong from the start :pensive:
Like the one from WhiteSupremasist guy, I would rather forget that honestly…

PS: Or the ones that are controversial, like scoreboard or something like book of grudges thing, or crafting one

It is because the topics on the top are always the ones with most amount of replies(it’s the most recent ones, but I am talking about the most popular), and usually they are full of back and forth thing, and usually it’s mean stuff.

:pensive:

Power Maul exists as if we’re supposed to be okay with that.

I know this community gets real knee-jerky about power creep, but Paul didn’t do anything to deserve the state its in.

Wound Ogryn is game changing, completely overpowered. Ragers will cower in the presence of a Wound Build Ogryn. (SARCASM)

Ogryn has literally 1/3rd or worse of the weapons of every other class, and even fewer build options. The class needs more stuff in general. Really needs better ranged sniper options.

A Rumbler variant that only shoots the projectile and specialises in raw single target damage would be sooo mint.

HA! I Know you’re kidding based on your previous post (and duh) but put a /s for those who are hard of internet and save us from the martyr ogryns.

You mean grenade gauntlet?
Thank you, I’m here all week, try the fish!

Pfft. Sorta but having no AoE at the benefit of an arc to help with aiming and the ability to hipfire… maybe some extra cleave to fully commit to the Ogryn sniper meme.

If there were to be a complaint coming from me about Ogryn, it’d be that his penances require so much effort to complete. 4500 free lucky bullet shots? That can take a lifetime due to being tied to luck, for example.

I like the idea, it would be even cooler if you can still bounce it Deadshot (?) style.

Ugh, I don’t like cheezing but this one suuuuucks and unlucky bullet suuuucks for the team.

Cheeze it on the twins map, no ammo required if you spam click. Someone told me this when I was almost done and I want to go back in time and warn myself.

My complain about Oggy is the recent nerf in the skill tree by swapping the toughness node. That sucked. It was fine how it was.

Also the guy needs more stuff. More weapons, particularly ranged. Very stale ATM.

I love playing as Oggy and donking stuff so would love to see some fresh content.

I love to play Ogryn, probably my most played class.
I think the reason why people are less attracted to play him is because he feels more slow and clunky than other classes.
Of course having the least amount of weapons doesn’t help much with his build diversity, but for me my biggest concern is lack of flexibility in the tree.

I like going all out with block efficiency + Power Maul, feels good man
