I applied to Chapel13. Account name is Aurra, character name is Nafgar. Not quite sure which shows up to other players as I haven't tried multiplayer yet.

I just completed the campaign and quite like this game so far. It's definitely slower paced than other action RPGs but still feels good to play. I'd love to see content added that is balanced around group play since the game features what are essentially holy trinity builds.

... a ton of balancing issues. The Assassin and Psycher are significantly stronger than the Crusader, and crit build is far and away the best build for every class.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I admittedly haven't tried any of the other classes, but a Crusader with a Heavy Bolter is a goddamn BEAST.

It was like this in Van Helsing too, but probably even moreso here.

Every class can play the game just fine. Psycher and Assassin can full clear impossible missions in under 5 minutes. I can do it in nine or ten on my crusader, but I'm super squishy and have no movement abilities to speed me through the map.

Really? I figured it would have been hard mode. I went with the Crusader because I really love the theme of just walking directly into ambushes and shooting everything that looks at you funny.

At least early on, packs that might take you some vague tactical considerations as Assassin or Crusader, like cover or consumables to take on just get utterly erased by the Psyker's right click. I don't know if that holds up when you're rear end deep in CSMs but probably.

And you just freeze any boss for 30 seconds and use a better version of the lasgun click hold beam to erase them.

Same. Just picked this up today.

Got a plasma gun and it melts everything at range. If not, I found a chain sword and shield combo that devastates those stupid rebel engine drone clouds as well as meaty ogryns.

Too bad it looks like 20 is the max amount in a cabal, we may need to make another one.

I'm kinda bummed my crusader seems to be pretty weak compared to what I see assassins and psykers are doing, but getting another class through the long rear end tutorial where you get the medic and crafter dude is painful.

There’s a cabal leveling system. Once we hit lol 2 we can unlock the ability to have 25 members.

No, you're just a Crusader. I started as a Crusader and failed repeatedly on the second mission where you have to defend someone from waves of enemies before I said "gently caress this" and rerolled as a Psyker. So far everything has been a breeze compared to the same missions as a Crusader.

That mission was an absolute bastard as a Crusader, I can confirm.

When we hit 18, I'm going to start kicking anyone who isn't confirmed goon. And we'll upgrade the cabal capacity first thing.

holding out for the PS4 version, which is optimistically announced for July 5th(I doubt this is happening). I've been watching gameplay vids and stuff to pass the time(I never do this, I hate it but this one has me excited).

It reminds me a lot of the old Crusader No Remorse game but with loot drops and deeper meta-gameplay.

I'm hoping they'll have most of the roughness sorted by console release.

Crusader is definitely slow to start, and near the end of the campaign you have to lower the difficulty a bit because you don't have the skills/perks to run reds yet, but it gets a bit better later. I'm 34 with the crit and physical trees filled out, the right half of the cooldown tree, and 3 points in the ranged tree. With the grav gun and missile armor I can clear impossible pretty easily at a decent pace (under 10 min). It's not face roll easy like the other classes, and I have dick for movement abilities which is the main reason I'm half the speed of a good assassin/psycher, but it's definitely viable.

I also believe the grav gun is the only good ranged option. Your main fire is armor piercing, your alt fire stuns armor and is off gcd, your 3rd ability is a channeled chain aoe that handles poo poo behind cover and packs of stuff, your fourth ability is an ticking aoe that has a good radius. The gun handles hordes and bosses pretty well. Throw in the missle armor with a pretty low cooldown thanks to crit -> cdr conversion, and you're in business.

The wave mission wasn't very difficult, as long as you use your deployables that you're given.

Yeah, I think that's what cabal directives do.

You can go ahead and start culling people who aren't goons. If they haven't been upgraded past the starting level and aren't named in here, they aren't confirmed goons. Show the heretics no mercy!

The cabal directives are the missions for cabal xp. Pretty sure they are weekly which is why most people go for that extra mission and capacity upgrade first. Cabals get xp per player so cabals that are filled get more xp.

I wanna try a ranged Crusader build. Drag a bunch of dudes into a narrow space and go all 40k on their asses. Def first pick to get into the game and see how all the mechanics feel. He's also the stereotypical Inquisitor type which is iconic 40k.

The Psyker build looks cool as gently caress too. They got the perils of the warp right! You should be able to melt off faces but always at the greatest of personal risk. Both Horus Heresy and 40k lore stress very heavily that Psykers are inherently dangerous to themselves and others.

I dunno how I feel about the Assassin. I like the voice but the sniping gameplay looks like tons of bullshit. The melee build gives me vibes of Diablo 3 gameplay with all the dashing and slashing. By the time I get to it, they'll probably do a class overhaul or something.

The devs seem like they want to do the right thing but their money situation is perilous(not a scoop just a guess).

There's really no reason to ever do co-op missions unless you want to do something more social and relaxed.
