I found the game easy to the point of not playing. The charge up mechanic to use higher powered weaponry was tedious after a while too.

Threatening stuffed animals for fun and profit.
Just played it through. I had a really good time with it, but I do think I started in a really powerful groove and then rode it all the way to the end. I was taking the most difficult missions available every time after about the fifth one, and I kept it on point. I'm open to jabbering about it at length, if folks want. There's no dedicated thread for Mechanicus in here, iirc.

I'm at level 14 for a heavy weapons Crusader. I die a lot, but boy blowing away psykers and chaos marines is a blast.

Oh yeah, this thread.

I’m actually playing this again recently and if google searching is correct the world event that’s happening now shouldn’t actually be happening now? All the dates are wrong and no progress can be made.

Edit: Oh, guess they disabled it sometime today. It’s gone.

I still fire this up on ps4 occasionally. It’s not as loot heavy as I’d like and the gaps between content is needlessly grindy. But the in game violence is satisfying.

I finished the base story content and found myself having to do about 10-20 hours of investigations and tarot missions to get to the seasonal stuff. Then there’s more gaps to get good poo poo in between missions.

I've just acquired a really good plasma gun and a nice set of Demolition armor. This kind of long-range murder is what I bought the game for.

Got this because it was on sale and they mentioned a 2.0 patch release, if anyone else is playing I'll join their group. It's pretty mindless fun early game, though I am playing a 2-H so that's to be expected.

I'll probably give it another shot to see the DLC campaign and the 2.0 changes. There's a fun game buried very deep under the gigantic mess.

It’s heavy on the grind at spots. I ran all the normal quests for all three classes with too much side content but still ended up too underpowered to jump right into the season content.

Armor piercing builds aren’t that great either. If I focus more on armor destroying stuff, things die quicker.

Other than that it’s a fun murder game.

I should try it again with the new patch. I got to a point where I was getting wrecked on every mission, and I couldn't figure out why.

There is, but it hasn't been really active in a while. The bonuses are still active, though. I'm reinstalling so I can add you in.

What's everyone's take on 2.0? Changes like making the campaign coop again and equipment are welcome but the faster animations seem pretty goofy to me.

What I am really waiting for before playing again is the Prophecy expansion pack. This adds a new campaign and new class based on the Adapetus Mechanicus faction, which is my primary faction I play and paint with in the table top game. :black101:

Yeah I saw that. I haven’t checked to see what the gimmick is with the mechanicus class. But stompy moody robot grandads sounds fun enough.

What's the name of the cabal? I saw the name posted earlier in the thread, but can't find it in-game.

I'm kinda just going through the story as I watch YT videos to chill out & this game does that well, I haven't bothered to look at the 2.0 stuff yet because I'm sure most of it won't make sense to me till I've played more.

From the Steam page.

"I can no longer sit back and allow nationalist shitposting, nationalist indoctrination, nationalist subversion, and the German nationalist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious game balance."
There's enough gameplay footage of Chaosbane to tell exactly what it is. It's a low budget Diablo 3 clone. Completely standard generic Diablo-like. Because it doesn't aim for anything special it's probably going to do what it sets out to do fairly well with a decent amount of polish. But jesus it just looks so incredibly bland. It's basically the Diablo 3 equivalent of Transmorphers.

Don't get Chaosbane, I cancelled my preorder after playing the betas. It's pretty loving dire. Virtually no information about it other than the betas, although there is a video coming this week about endgame. Developers are French so I guess the language barrier is why it's so quiet.

Itemization was really bad in the beta, not interesting at all and not even different weapon types for characters or anything. If you play the ranger, hope you like daggers and bows. Dwarf, hope you like axes.

It got pretty samey in the short time I played beta. Act I boss was fun, but ehhhh....

You could play the farm missions / non story content co-op but the campaign is not playable co-op until this patch and expansion release.
