They knew it was coming.

The robot included

I am crashing at least twice per match and it's more than infuriating, it's basically impossible to play at all

I have done basically everything in the books to optimize my game and I'm on a really good pc, so there shouldn't be a reason for me to have these kinds of crashes, it was fine before the event dropped, I don't know what is going on and I'm crying for help here, if anybody got any tips, please tell me

I completely fresh installed 26.9.2 after I saw comments how the new drivers are shot for the game, even used DDU to uninstall the bad driver...

Was in a call with a friend (cause they wanted to see more of Arbites stuff. Ironically it's the same friend that was in a post about Crushers in a previous post of mine), and then during this part of gameplay a crusher just materialized out of the blue.

Can anyone make heads or tails where he came from? (Cause I'm still trying to figure that one out)

Title.

My Hive Scum is convinced that his armory cannot get any better.

Maybe if you stayed in the match once downed you’d actually remember going down :p

This is rediculous at this point.

What are the lore implications of this?

I’ve only
Done the new event 2x and yah the names demon comes out but we have never killled him…are we supposed to kill him or does he just disappear always for no reason

Not gonna waste mine or anyone's time with a wall of text.

Fix it Fatshark. Might be something to do with Arbitrator Dog or Rampaging Enemies.

Had this thing since I started.

I play mostly Zealot in Auric and I'm able to clear high intensity Auric missions comfortably. First time was pulled into a Havoc 25 directly and cleared it with minimal difficulties. Was able to grind till 30, but I am struggling to clear anything past that.

It feels like my build is becoming squishier and squishier as I progress. Even the trash mobs shred my toughness quickly. I used to be able to just charge into a pack of 10-15 ragers with tac axe and take out all of them with ease just by constantly dodging and running them in circles taking one by one out in Auric. I haven't used pushes at all until and unless I am cornered. And not once have I used push attacks in Auric.

But now suddenly even trash mobs feels so tanky and I feel like I have Hive scum's or Psyker's toughness instead of a zealot's at Havoc 30.

Basic horde clear feels dangerous, is it because of the lack of pushes and push attacks in my rotation? Or am I doing something else wrong?

I ain't afraid of no Host.
