The Orthus Offensive - NOW LIVE!

so far im having a blast, both the mechanic and change of style are a needed fresh wind. especially the artwork done to the map,blood gore and guts, is right down my alley.

bummer that i havent found a way to start the "third"difficulty.if its in the game yet,that is.

Is this a limited time event? Or a permanent addition to the game? I really hope it will be the latter.

Ah, it’s a boys club. Explains quite a lot actually.

A lot of people are saying only half the plasteel is in the map, can we just remove the rest of the plasteel and get the max amount for completing the missions so we don’t have to spend extra time scouring corners for the only thing worth collecting? Would make the missions far more smoother and i don’t have to accomodate teammates that speedrun through the mission not looking for anything.

This fight is SICK! And by fight, I mean the whole level, which is indeed a breath of fresh air!

First run, we had TEN DEATHS in the arena and just baaaarely pulled it off. Some talents that I’ve not considered much had their moments in the spotlight: vet VoC res came in clutch at one point, and zealot’s Beacon Of Purity was working hard the whole fight. And the stimms fit in so perfectly.

Great work all around! Enjoy the long holiday break, ya lucky sharks!

Hardmode was pretty rough but fun.

The fart lords are here! But do we get any holiday anything for Darktide? How about them frames?

Can we at least get 40 days of dogmas again?

The adds definitely have more impact than the bosses really seem to, especially in that last wave of maulers and ragers. Bulk crowd control was how we beat it.

How do you trigger that?

Here :blush:

Better than dirt? Putting an entire studio on holiday because none of them used their holiday hours and shutting down QA for 5 weeks is not how you run a business. I know everyone defends this because its mandatory time off, but that’s 25 days in a year (a year being from 1 April-31 March) They literally chose to shut down the studio for a few weeks in December-January, they aren’t forced to take that time right then.

thx mate, much appreciated. off to jingle bells

No problem, mate! Have fun with those bells, might join ya soon :wink:

Thank ya kindly. Will test this when I get home.

No problem, mate! Happy jingling! :bell:

:crab: zzz :crab:

I wish everyone got treated so well by their overlords! Alas, the machine grinds on…

I don’t see their break time as being a bad thing, heck it might even give them time to refresh and come back better than ever! I’ve noticed that my best ideas come to me when I’m not working.

What matters is they’ve delivered pretty darn good recently, so I’d say they’ve earned a little break for now.

Nah, the break itself isn’t bad, it’s that everyone being gone all at once indicates that the studio is being very poorly managed.

Yes, we just have to hope that nothing bad happens during the large break since noone will be able to fix anything, like last year. Also still a bunch of people who can’t play the game with no resolutions so far. Guess screw those people, people gotta go chill on the couch.

I mean that’s an issue to take up with Sweden, it’d be nice if they had a volunteer skeleton crew to stay behind but I don’t think that’ll end up happening.
