Local Comms Blackout - Discussion Thread

Astartes are gods among men. 2nd company of ultramarines defend a planet against 10 k orcs losing only 2 marines.

Astartes know there is no god.

They vowed to take some distance from humanity, in order to protect it from themselves.
They know that only the strict discipline they force upon themselves can prevent them from turning into chaos adepts. That discipline and the faith in their father.

Because that strong will is both their strength, and their deadliest weakness. Should it fail only one fraction of a second, it may drown the sanity of the astartes in a torrent of uncontrolled emotions, which were previously silenced by its daily rituals.

That’s why if the chaos marine is condemned to an eternity of damnation, being a tool in the hand of chaos gods, the loyal marine is condemned to an eternity of self restriction, and erasure of its self. But should the dam have a single fissure, the building is doomed. That’s why, the faith of the marines are not a protection against the chaos entities ; instead, it is a protection against the true nature of man.

Slaanesh knows how to party

And the Skaven throw a helluva party.

skavens are stinky skunks, “smoke weed every day”. They are literally (warp)stone from their birth to their horrible death.

Sounds awesome to me

The closest in 40k is dark elves… eldars who must inflict pain on people to prevent them soul from being sucked dry by slanesh.
They basically make drugs out of torturing sentient species, dooming themselves in the excess of an immoral life. They are the remnants of the older eldaris, whose excess were so … well excessive that they gave birth to voldem… She who thirst

The difference between skavens and drows is the smell. And the colour.

:open_mouth:

You forgot the sex drive.

Rats are well known for their horniness, especially the Horned Rat.

I know little of Warhammer, or its lore; but it is an epic source of gifs.

Last ditch effort to save Null Bearie Land using lore as an excuse :rofl:

Yeah pulp fiction is one of the worst movies ever…

I want them to fix the story.

I know almost nothing of Warhammer, but EVE reminds me of all the Space Opera I have read or watched, stuff where suspension of disbelief is very important.

Give this man as successor chapter!!!

Ney, lore is as bad as in EvE. I love to read in but it is irelevant with gameplay.

The lore does not include single pilots mult-capsuling entire fleets for the sake of racking up ISK mindlessly and docking up the moment a neutral instantly appears in local.

But I for one would welcome an expansion of blackout. You want lore, oh you should get lore straight up.

  • OK So no instant to the clone vat. You have to wait until the end of the blackout before you can play that character again. MAKE DEATH GREAT AGAIN. I got news for you, a lot of us here don’t like these nullsec blocs that are basically set up to use clone vats like an instant respawn point. So your idea is good. BRING IT.
  • Hmmmm appears the same thing that has messed up local has messed up cynos across the region.
    Lots of us here remember the days of olde when nullsec blocs had to use convoys. So there’s more lore for you.

Careful what you wish for.

Lore wise, I thought clone transfers also relied on the same system that local relies on. Isnt that the reason why you can’t jump clone into whs? So wouldnt a blackout, theoretically also prevent jump clones?

Thing is you’re thinking about it like the entire network is going down, when they ar einfact just disabling part of it to preserve bandwidth for the other parts, like clones, its like turning off the light in a room, the room is still doing other things its just harder to see when you’re moving about in the room

^ what he said

They aren’t turning off the system entirely. They’re just reducing traffic to what we call Local, so they can focus on traffic for more important things, like Clones.
