Warhammer Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Cohesion]

What else could you strive for

Breaking the meta. Enjoying process of mastery itself. Groking the intent of the designer. RPing. A lot of things.

== Having fun.

Desi has evolved beyond such plebeian concepts such as "fun".

Why strive for fun when you can run the same sections of a game ad infinitum in pursuit of perfection, never actually completing any game as you pierce to its heart and drain its essence?

Fun? Pfeh!

 

[Desiderius]

That *is* fun.

They’re not the same if you’re playing them a different way with different characters.

It’s like when Ice Age came out and I was the only one running Necropotence and everyone was giving me shit for it. I was playing a different game.

I was scanning my memory for a game called Ice Age when I realized you were talking about OG MtG.

Brah, that was almost 30 years ago. You have a pretty good memory.

I just figured he was sundowning and his addled brain was confusing video games and children's animations.

(I found Robinette’s speck 15 years before that)

Squats keep the mind sharp. Tricks the body into thinking it’s still growing. This mind was never all that sharp to begin with though, so it needs the help. That early Necro deck had Oath of Lim-Dul and Sunstone in it.

I’ve been doing the same thing with games ever since, so it serves as both a good example and a window into how much practice I’ve built up with it.

The ironic thing is that the meta can now be broken by simply playing the game as designed instead of chasing the weird tricks (as I myself spent a year and a half doing).

I have beta access to this game but haven't played it. Should I do it or wait for the final release? How "content-complete" is the beta?

dude game is out in a month, just wait. Chapter 4 and 5 was clearly unfinished in Beta so you are prolly talking about 60 - 70% done.

But they seemed to develop a lot on mechanic side from the Beta (which doesnt get updated) so just wait

Okay, i'll play more Wrathfinder instead in the meantime.

Hey Pink Eye What is the equivalent of Monk in this game ?

Argenta and the Space Wolf both are variants of the warrior-monk.

 

[Tyranicon]

As far as I know, there's no viable unarmed build in the game (can you even unequip all weapons and attack with fists?). But Argenta is literally a space nun.

 

[Desiderius]

Looking forward to playing a Rogue Trader when game is finished in a couple years.

Ulfar got reworked:

Spoiler

Probably a response to how viciously he outclassed Abelard and how stupidly OP his 0 AP cost knife was paired with Warrior's momentum ability.

*Idira and Jae still have their shitbuilds though, lol.

 

[Gumsmith]

Ulfar got reworked:

Spoiler

While using a wounded space marine as a super-human shield is incredibly funny, it seems like the sort of thing that should be discouraged

 

[Tyranicon]

The best way to balance a Space Wolf is to have them be nigh-invincible, but get infested with fleas every once in a while.

 

[SpaceWizardz]

Here's Marazhai:

Spoiler

They gave him some meme pinball build where he has several different charge attacks and some bonuses to DoT effects, Wergila insists he's good though.

 

[Axel_am]

Anybody got a tier list for the companions yet?

 

[Axel_am]

What the hell does this donut man mean.

S: Argenta.
A: Yrliet (Your mileage and tolerance for Eldar horseshit may vary)
B(ro): Abelard, Pasqual, Heinrix.
F: Everyone else.

 

[lvl 2 Blue Slime]

Would be great if they added a Dark Eldar BDSM waifu

S: Argenta.
A: Yrliet (Your mileage and tolerance for Eldar horseshit may vary)
B(ro): Abelard, Pasqual, Heinrix.
F: Everyone else.

Nice. Happy to see Marazhai rated F for fucker. I still regret not killing Woljif on my first Wrath playthrough. Maybe this time I'll be able to compensate for that.
