Some Thoughts on the Skitarii Power Sword

Is there a stab happy Devil’s somewhere? All I saw is a push stab on like one or two marks I don’t remember really. You should think of the special as a turbo cranked built in thrust, that can also give you grossly strong lights. Having a meter is the only thing keeping it from being mega upgraded Mk6 power sword, with way better access to peak damage.

Happy birthday if it’s a real date

i agree 100%, a lot of darktide’s dlc weapons dont really feel that engaging since they don’t punish you for doing the wrong moveset. arbities parciularly was the worst offender since the actual damage loss of people not doing a proper single target damage was so negligible that most people don’t even notice that there’s a single-target combo on the arbities shock maul of doing (Heavy-Lights repeating), even in hard content like havoc jugging by how many arbities PF pubs use it wrong on party finder. It’s just constant light spam and you’re perfectly fine and that’s really boring. Hivescum’s kinda in the same boat with the shivs and crowbars basic combos can just be light spam into hordes… which kinda blows. Bonesaw is pretty cool though.

I really hoped that when fatshark was moving away from melee-centric focused gameplay when creating darktide from vermintde that we’d get more unique melee weapons- which I feel like they sorely lack on besides a few contenders like the (mk2) relic blades and heavy swords. The power sword is SUCH a breath of fresh air to not only have a weapon that actively demands you to actually engage with it on its own terms. Hope we get more fun weapons too. Hell, I’d be fine with a billhook copy.

Mk7 is the stabbiest, but it’s only the PA and the parry light attack follow up.

easy way i found access to the horde clear attacks was

either a block into heavy then light

or light into heavy then light repeat

90% players rn aint regular players, for this game usually got less than 5k players everyday. now it turns out to be 50k+ players, i dont think players that only come back when theres a big update would spend much time n effort learning how to do weapon combos. just look at that how popular “keep swing” n “skitarius” r on nexus. skitarius is macro.

It’s nice to have a couple of weapons with a complex moveset so there’s something to learn even for players with lots of hours. They might add an easy to use variant somewhere down the line.

You can still use that weapon without optimal combos in every difficulty… You will just deal less damage.

just look at that how popular “keep swing” n “skitarius” r on nexus. skitarius is macro.

People use macros even on easy weapons.

Anyone abusing macro without a health reason will just forever stay an awful player.

So if they want the game to play by itself, it’s their problem.

yeah, 15k by next month etc

you mean the one where you used racial slurs? anyone else would be permabanned for that and you’re whining because your post got hidden lol. you’re literally proving that chinese people are immune to moderation on this forum, you’re being openly racist and despite @Incandescent claiming otherwise you are still posting, but you act like we are hypocrites and doing the same thing you are doing. meanwhile if i did any of that i would be insta banned

i have always engaged in these threads in good faith, until chinese players started trolling and ragebaiting just to make fun of westerners. you arent half as smart as you think you are. my first reply in this thread was literally my honest opinion, until you and your friends started trying to fish for replies to show off in the baidou thread.

Yes.

No, where?

Looks like you’ve reported another one of my posts again (or maybe someone else did), and now it’s hidden. Then you go on to twist the facts.

Pretty interesting, isn’t it? What am I actually saying, and what are you saying?

I’ve covered up a few things that might cause the post to be hidden. Hopefully this one won’t get hidden as well.

TRUE, half my blocklist are from the era of m1 surge macros

play victim all you want it’s obvious you guys just post fake opinions here to bait westerners into agreeing

in fact one of your fellow baidou posters posted a thread where he directly explains people are doing it

but i’m supposed to be blind to the obvious 0 effort trash posts that just exist to antagonize us. you want to pretend it’s not obvious.

you are not half as smart as you think you are, we are smarter than baidou. that’s why all the community tools and info like kulis guide, the datamines, the games database, modding tools and 99% of mods (except for a few wallhacks) all come from here, and not from baidou. you are just here to troll and contribute nothing of value

I had just a couple people in my block list during auric only days, mostly speedrunners. That was before I started playing Havoc… Now I have full list. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I’ll ask you one more time.

did i reply to that post with anything but my honest opinion?

i only replied to the person who made an obvious troll post with a bit of ribbing back. you then started saying i’m just here to troll, immediately trying to make me out to be the problem.

i only ever respond in this way to obvious troll posts. i always give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not trying to ragebait. but when it’s obvious ragebait i ragebait back. i’m sorry you can’t handle being treated the way you treat others

Let’s still focus the discussion on the game.

Kind of a wasted effort if a group is intentionally posting in bad faith and trying to bait people no? Pretty hard to have a productive discussion in those circumstances, don’t you think?

1. I have never made a bait(钓鱼) thread on the Fatshark forums. Thank you.

2. If your attention is focused on the thread where I posted the white pig image, I’ve already addressed that in the screenshots above.

3. If you need an outlet for your frustration, then focus on the actual issue—such as the white pig image. Once again, I’ve already responded to that image twice, and both replies can be found in this thread. I can accept criticism of that. What I do not accept is turning the discussion into attacks on me personally or on my threads.

Because you’ve brought up Tieba over and over and over again, let me put it this way: Tieba is basically China’s version of Reddit. There’s plenty of toxic garbage on there, although there are also a lot of useful guides and discussions.

And let me reiterate this once more: my thread has nothing to do with Tieba.

hence why i never replied to any of your threads with bait or disrespectfully, only to individual disrespectful bait posts.

i will again say i replied to your thread in good faith. my posts actually addressing the threads topic were serious and my honest opinion. when fermion started baiting i baited back. do you have an issue with this? i don’t, respect is mutual
