Thinking of casually starting something up this evening over on discord https://discord.gg/E79FpG7

Edit: Done for this evening. Two lessons learned: Get Good. Always bring a medic.

Sorry I had to bail a bit early last night. Had a good time dying a lot :D


If we get a chance to play tonight I'd recommend turning FF off (until we git guder) and leaving Codex Rules on or off depending on what kind of progress we want to make. I find that FF on kind of locks you out of 2 of the best CC/AOE weapons. Thunder Hammer and Plasma Cannon.

Wow, when 20GB free isn't enough for a 7GB patch...

Looks like the latest update added a completely new class, a Terminator Chaplain. http://steamcommunity.com/games/298900/announcements/detail/1430307963807000690

Have the patches actually been fixing the game's underlying and technical issues at all? I haven't bought it because of the aforementioned reasons, but I loved EYE and want this to get good.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Did they ever fix the connecting issues? At launch I would spend 30 minutes trying to find a game and I was lucky to find one. Even when I did get into one there was always some connection issue that caused me to drop or give up waiting for players to connect. Has that been fixed at all?

I MAKE FUN OF QUEER STORYGAMES BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY LIFE THAN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE CRY

I can't understand these kinds of games, and not getting it bugs me almost as much as me being weird
Having the Goon Hulk matched arranged in advance worked well. No major issues.

When I fired it up yesterday it was certainly running better than at launch. The game had this weird hyperthreading issue with my processor where I had to set core affinity to all but one core each time it launched or else it would grind to a crawl, so that's good. It ran just fine.

But holy poo poo is the player base dead. There were maybe 10 games total, between codex and non-codex rules, and most of those were password protected private games. So a whole like, 40 people playing at once.

So are the white squidfaced stealers supposed to be that way because of chowing down on Dark Angels geneseed? Cause they look pretty much like Ymgarl Genestealers but I know the ymgarls are pretty much disowned by the hivemind because they're all mutagenic or something. So it wouldn't really make sense for hive ships to be coming to reabsorb them if they were ymgarls.

Got any deathsticks?
Screw canon, Lictors have the feeding tendrils as well. Just because the hive mind disowned the ymgarl subspecies doesn't mean other jean-stealers can't have tendrils. Stop body shaming.

I don't really care about what GW considers official man, I just never saw the reason for why those stealers look different in this game and was wondering if anybody here knew something I don't. For all I know I missed a line of diologue or something that explained why there's two different broods in the game.

I think it was just a quick way to present enemy diversity without making new enemies. Like in Halo the aliens have two or three different colored bodies.

Ah yeah you're prolly right. I think I'm just used to warhams poo poo having all kinds of detailed crap involved with the who's and why's that something simple like that never even occurred to me.

I have to admit, they're doing a lot more with customization than I expected. You can really blingee out your guns and, apparently, armor this time around.

I'm sort of shocked this game hasn't been abandoned yet to be honest. I should give it another run-through one of these days, probably once this patch hits. That bayonet looked delightfully ridiculous.

Still happy that apparently the Xbox version is still going to exist someday, about as shocked, too.
