[Veteran] Reworked + Polls

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

For when Veteran rework comes around

The Veteran Tree is very well done slight adjustments except in overpowered and under used areas. Tree themes of Left of Distance / Accuracy / Weakspot, Middle of Support / Team, Right of Close Range / Critical / Fast

Slight reorganization, talent adjustments, and centralized nodes to free up for more build diversity, 2 nodes after blitz is actually more choice than a 1 central node into a single in every direction.

Baseline Normalization:

New Iconics

  • Sniper Vision: While using ranged secondary, weapon special toggles to increase/decrease zoom state when used, state remains at last use when toggling between weapons swaps and primary fire to secondary fire.

  • Cover Peak: Current Iconic +25% Ranged TDR while crouching.

  • Flat Nodes removed: 5% Movement Speed, +1 Stamina, +0.25s Stamina Regeneration x2, +25% Suppression (Suppression talent does more), Inspiring Presence, +15Toughness

  • Flat Nodes Added/Combined: 10% Health, 10% TDR

Charismatic: +50% Coherency Radius and Regeneration

Current: No regeneration

Reasoning: Baseline Coherency buff to all class talents

Exhilarating Takedown: Replenish 5% Toughness on Weakspot Kill and gain ranged damage immunity for 1.5s

Current: Replenish 15% Toughness and gain +10 damage reduction for 8s on ranged weakspot kill. Stacks 3 times.

Reasoning: Removed ranged limitation for more sustainable toughness in melee and added ranged immunity on proc the main reason for DR while attempting ranged headshots. Ranged focused tree shouldn’t discourage basic melee.

Covering Fire: When you kill a shooter enemy with a ranged attack allies within 20 meters of target clear suppression, replenish 5% Toughness, +10% Toughness Damage Reduction for 5s and +10% Movement Speed for 5s.

Current: 5 meter range, 15% toughness and 20% base damage for 3s any enemy.

Reasoning: Killing trash around allies not very necessary, detrimental and distracting. Should encourage killing the more serious threat of shooters who pepper down toughness and assist allies in reaching threats… or running away in a cover fire fashion.

Tactical Awareness: 100% Ability Cooldown Regeneration for 5s after your or an ally in coherency kill a specialist.

Current: Combat ability reduced by 6s on specialist enemy kill.

Reasoning: Normalizing CDR across classes, specialist also more rare / bursts of them, than elites so longer duration on Veteran version.

Current: 2.5% chance for 8s +20% base damage, +20% suppression, no stagger or range impact bonus for 8s.

Thats my Veteran rework suggestion for later this year :wink:

It’s pure, unadulterated power fantasy… And I love it.
I’m getting too old, too slow, too distracted and too tired - guys who have 1/20 of my hours are kicking my ass on Havoc.

Post Verbum:

Also - the damage immunity have to be removed. It should be balanced around +% of toughness dmg reduction. Immunity/damage ignoring should remain in Zealot, Psyker and Ogryn hands.

Reload speed however… We are trained guardsmen. Speedy reload should be second nature.
Auto buff for the class => https://youtu.be/WzHG-ibZaKM?t=49

Thanks, the range damage immunity is part of gun play blessings now… unless your referring to the keystone 1s for a clutch shot, I think it’s a small enough window to be a skill to use… even have my zealot immunity wasted when a mutant grabs and smashed for entire duration.

Yeah… maybe 1s immunity for “skill shot” will not be that bad.
It needs testing.

Ok, that one is a No.
Or at least a no if not properly explained - when you pull out weapon, it gets its special activated (it’s only beneficial for PS) or just a click and special is active without animation?
Either way - it excludes weapons which specials are a plain attack or parry (standard shovel, dueling sword, Catachan claw ect.)

Instant activation is a bit much and I’m quite sure it will cause some problems with code.
Something else have to be proposed. Maybe + dodges or % of dodge duration?
But then again it’s stealing from unique features of Psyker…

Hmm.

Yah everything…most tweaks are not needed many just for more fun / flavor. Could just combine current talents as is. Just tried making it more interesting… the complicated version would be improved weapon specials on swap… which would vary in explanations per each weapon.

The more talent syncs in keystones, blitz modifiers and ability modifier will make reaching everything you’d want much harder than current builds that just skip keystones altogether.

Also cleaned up my tree math below, Veteran by no means is in dire need and seems to be the model tree they may even make his pathing a lil shorter to keystone he just has the biggest glut of Operative modifiers and most of these changes will shift the loss into blitz & ability modifiers. Zealot & Psyker have biggest lack of diverse trees and close to same glut in operative modifiers.

I was excited to have a look over this, but you Gutted Exhilirating Takedown. Not only did you do that, you made it extremely overpowered.

Then, you didn’t even bother to offer an alternative for the risk/reward of Headshot playstyle. These arent balance changes, they’re individual playstyle fixes.

Survivalist isn’t overpowered, its too much QoL for teammates who cry when they don’t have it and need to literally adjust/get better. The meta is absed off crutches and people don’t liek this, and so want those crutches given out to everyone rather than consciously adjust and focus on their gameplay.

This is evidenced, again as I have seen lately, in Chink In The Armour where multiple users are tryign tos abotage it to remove the skill element of stacking. The problem lies in the stacking itself not in the talent.

No thanks.

A couple thoughts:

Krak should auto-detonate the second its magnetism effect attaches it to something. I cannot think of a scenario where you wouldn’t want it to detonate against a carapace or monstrous target.

I’d love to get some ranged brittleness AoE back. Shredders were nerfed from proccing Onslaught… then a year later Penetrating Flames was made available for Inferno Staff and Flamer. Maybe tack brittleness onto Krak’s magnetism effect? While it would provide no benefit for standard carapace enemies, it could make it a more viable choice with havoc high boss concentration.

Krak Grenades have AoE. They can kill multiple Bulwarks and Crushers at a time. If the Grenades were made instant (which they will never be) you’d end up nuking every pack of engaging enemies, then people would complain they’d have to deal with them, when in the hypothetical world they live in they shouldn’t have to because everything happens in Meta-land, and you’d be pigeonholed into taking Kraks because most people totally lsiten to the Meta at the expense of ddeveloping skill.

Of all things, Vet doesn’t need AoE brittleness, thats on and up to all the other classes. Vet offers ranged and precise singletarget damage with some light aoe/cc.

11

Krak’s do have AoE, but it’s incredibly small and requires enemies to stack/overlap. I can pop multiple in close range, it’s trickier at distance. Moving lethal proximity to a talent might be an option.

These theoretical complainers generally don’t play in my ideas for a post soliciting veteran rework ideas.

12

This is all buffs, its not a rework.

13

I know, which is why you acknowledge the Drawback of Krak nades then seek to eliminate that drawback..

14

I don’t feel kraks are currently an A tier option. Judging by the Ogryn rework getting everything to A tier seems to be the Devs goal. Fuse delay if it hits the ground is fine, but the magnetism seems reasonable to me. Edited to remove snark.

15

Ogryn, clearly, needs to be nerfed by having the ammo perk only increase by 15% and the standard toughness regen talents reduced by a further -5%. They need to tank, but not to the extent braindead leftclicking encourages them to break off from the team. Aas it currently is, trust me I do know, I play max attackspeed Ogryn with doubletoughness regen Club… its beyond broken and ONLY leaves the excuse of lack of situational awareness/skill. The class plays itself. This should not be the norm or standard. Its an appeasement to the Zealot players of yesteryear.

I don’t support the devs goal, I acknowledge this is their game, thankfully. Theres a difference. We do not need everything buffed to braindead levels just to appease people who struggle to comprehend skill is a thing and everyone wants to play Havoc 40 and win every time. If you think counterintuitively to this and this ‘Devs want braindead play I’ll make my suggestions’ thats okay its your choice but I’m against it.

I don’t want to be able to instanuke a pack of 3 Bulwarks or Crushers reliably. That has been the meta-playstyle fr a while now and we’re only just getting back to having to engage with them rather than delete them, and I understand you might not enjoy this and want to nuke the pack, but I don’t.

Or am I mistaken? Because almost all of the changes listed above are along the same vein, stupidly overpowered and totally broken. Chaining stunning Immunity with Infiniate stamina? Come now.

edit, forgot to address

What do you mean by ‘A tier’? and why does everything need to be it?

Shredders offer a screenwipe similar to Ogryns in that you can clear with melee or spend something. Kraks get a Bulwark off you and help with additional damage on big things.

16

I’ve posted two total changes. Faster krak detonation if a target activates magnetism, and the potential to apply some brittleness to krak targets that activate magnetism, the smallest AoE grenade in vets arsenal.

I don’t think either one of those suggestions warrants, “if you think counterintuitively to this and this ‘Devs want braindead play I’ll make my suggestions’” so I’m just gonna hop out of this discussion. Have a good day.

Thats fine. Theres a reason Kraks were nerfed. Its the reason you’re suggesting be brought back.

Okay, more grenade rework ideas:

Grenade Tinkerer Changes

Frag-(Unchanged) +25% Damage and Radius (Damage applies only to initial explosion as currently coded)

Krak-Single target only (reduce AoE or code change), +50% Damage (current), +10% Brittleness to target, stacks 2 times 5s cooldown, stacks with other sources of brittleness [Removes the potential of multiple targets, but leans into the boss killer roll emulating the Exploit Weakness talent by cracking a bosses armor].

Smoke-Remove 100% duration, reduce opacity by 50%, apply radius of effect marker on the ground to clearly indicate protected area (I’d make these base smoke changes), if thrown normally (left click) smoke grenade goes off as normal. If smoke grenade is underhanded, equipped stim is consumed and the Smoke AoE gains a stim influenced effect for all party members inside the radius of the smoke upon detonation equal to roughly 25-50% of the effect of the individual stim per party member effected.

You can interpret my replies however you wish, but I’d like to know why you want Kraks to apply brittleness in an AoE? They already kill what they hit leaving no need for Brittleness. On Bosses, other classes can spec to supportt the team in this regard better. Vet amplifies the damage going onto the target.

As you mentioned, Vet does this already if he specs for it, with his melee for 20% and his ranged for 35%. Its not his problem the ‘META’ is at a point that he simply struggles to do this for the ammo because people rather than all the teams ammo on hordes. Vet has multiple ways to deal with Crushers, they just aren’t ‘META’. Skullcrusher is a good example, and is similar to the Focus Fire keystone people are currently enjoying complaining about because they cant spam it 24/7 with no drawback. Its a damage amp for the team when they need it, or on soemthing we want dead.

Personally, I think Smokes are fine. Theyre fun, have a LOT of tactical use, but simply aren’t meta. They require skill. People in games have no idea smoke isnt to be put on you, its to block sightlines and onto the enemy to disorientate, allow a push, etc. People who throw it onto their team and then struggle to kill ranged with their PG well, what do you expect? This kind of player trusts the META brain more than his own.

Vet nades are for scoreboard chasers. Just because they are used like that in the META doesnt make it right. They are supposed to be used depending on your kit. Synergy, like everything, is key. Shredders buy breathing space and less time needed to be spent in AoE. And you can wipe screens. Shredders are mostly spammed by players who use them in situations that theyre melee should handle, but they can’t due to a simple lack of skill and teamwork. Thats not the grenades fault. Theyre a fallback nade, they assist with gettign revives (Which Veteran is by far suited for) and they thin out a ranged pack just right for you to swoop in and murder them all.

Kraks are the opposite, but they have the aoe stagger effect so you can still use them for the multitide of times you need an AoE stagger albeit smaller. They are great for breaking upa heavily armoured pack, have great KD (knockdown) o nthese targets giving much appreciated breathing space and most importantly, they are for when your kit DOESNT kill crushers/bulwarks fast ie youre running recon/some other auto ora Lasgun. There are plenty of melee weapons that can deal with melee just fine, Shredders, like almost all of vet currwently, speeds up actions. Shredder on melee = less time needed to melee them. Krak on armoured = less time dodging and dpsing them.
Kraks have thankfully been tuned to the point they are the aprt oft he Kit that quickly removes that Bulwark on you, breaks up a pack f crushers, and offers nice damage to bosses over the course of the fight if your kit isn’t suited to this. Its a swiss army knife.

This concept of breathnig time and how Vet alleviates it ina multitude of situations is core to the class but the meta is ‘hurp durp bolter/dueling swrd cos I said so’.

I like youre idea of Smoke-Stims, but don’t like the mechanic of consuming your stim. I don’t like it not only because it means you’ll never get to use Stims which are a fun and engaging part of the gameplay (Hurts when I see a h40 Ogryn go past a dmg stim when hes empty. Just the level of gameplay nowadays and noone wants to listen). Perhaps this could be baked into the Support med/ammo kit talent or the passive mvoe speed also gives 25% of stim Effect used to Allies in Coherency, when used (NOT permanent, only allies in Coherency when its used by the vet?). Its a unique, flavorsome idea that would definitely add an extremely powerful aspect to vet other than VoC.

I dont like the idea of smoke being outlined. This kills immersion. Some of us play with no flashing helpme lights. And enjoy it like that.

20

This is what I lean towards after reading through your concerns:

Krak-+50% Damage (current),Overhand throw unchanged (multitarget), Underhand throw Single target only (reduce AoE or code change), +50% Damage (current), +10% Brittleness to target, stacks 2 times 5s cooldown Removes the potential of multiple targets, but leans into the boss killer roll emulating the Exploit Weakness talent. Underhand nature would also allow it to be used with stealth.

Core Idea: Allow Grenade Tinkerer to apply a toggle effect to Krak and Smoke grenades utilizing the overhand/underhand mechanic.

Smoke radius marker: I can see where that would be an issue for immersion. Maybe just reduce the AoE visual slightly to better match the area of coverage. Currently distinction between protected or not protected at the edge of the visual is only indicated when you start getting shot at.
