DO YOU ENJOY REPLAYING OBELISK? (Space Marine 2 Discussion) Patch 5.1

[@mikuPS3]

Its a no for me - half the time you wonder through the basement with a flashlight. I cleared the Lethal and never touched it since.

[@Mantelar]

I guess it’s a matter of taste. I pick up the chalice and don’t put it down. But yes most randoms don’t want to pick it up. Or they put it down and no one picks it up. So to save time I just grab it and go. It’s really hard to die, holding that thing. I’d have liked it if each of us was given a relic attached to our armor that a gave a little light. And then make it a lot darker, so you’re basically fighting in a nightmare. I’m waiting for them to figure out that weather and night mutators would be nice.

[@laser-tw8zy]

I mostly like this map but I have some problems with it. 1. The Helbrute spawn on the broken bridge is one of the most broken spawns in the game, it simply spawning there has team wiped my squad multiple times as a full level on ruthless because of how janky and unbalanced it is. My team would literally be hoping it would spawn anywhere else on the map, they need to find somewhere else to put it. 2. The Chalice section is really cool, but if your team is uncoordinated, it is a nightmare to get through. Either your teammates will not do a good job of helping you carry it, or the guy with it will just run ahead while other squadmates are looting. (Mainly a problem with randoms.) 3. The section where you have to rotate the islands to align properly is extremely broken. If you are standing in the wrong spot or on the spire for too long, you character will say the islands are aligning but it will then fly past even though it was supposed to be aligned. 4. The boss at the end should’ve been a full on greater sorcerer, not just a modified lesser one.

[@uriel7565]

Yeah, the boss got me a little titled. Whole time I thought it was going to be unique enemy, pretty disappointing.

[@actualnacho612]

Havent fully gotten to grips with the chalice/maze section but other han that its a fun time

[@G8oo8N8]

Takes time to learn.

[@PrimitiveBeast]

What part are you having trouble on?

[@TheAllanmeadows]

I'd like to see more big setpieces. Imagine an operation where at one point, one of your squad is randomly selected to take control of a dreadnought? Running parallel routes with the other two marines, completing a couple of side by side objectives. Get that real sense of power fantasy.

[@HappyNoob17YT]

i think it would have been better if they had less of the hold chalice part. but i do like how they say that it is warp born darkness so the Astartes can't use their dark vision.

[@mrself5824]

A lot of people still don’t understand you need to leave the relic on the stand to defend the objective in the dark, as well as not knowing they have to manually align the islands and not just wait until its “done”. It’ll get better with time lol when people find out how things properly work, I have no problem with people getting lost in the darkness though, happens to the best of us, just gotta lead em a bit.

[@keepersox]

Love the map. The rotation is fresh. Chalice mechanic is fun. Rotation is fun. Your characters will yell you when to stop rotating the island. Just wish there was some indicator to where geneseeds and armoury data could spawn. Also one of the armory data locations seems bugged. Can't physically reach it 2 inches from me. I've found 4 armoury data spots and 2 geneseed spots so far. Rotation makes it hard to keep track of it

[@glenndelucia8877]

I had a level 25 heavy pick up the chalice an then ran to a corner of the area you find the servo skulls. Had us trapped in the corner, away from the ammo crate, unable to fight off the rubric marines because they were using ranged attacks. He wouldnt drop the chalice on any pedestals, so No one else could take it an we couldn't find the skull an then he ran off away from the skull on his own with the chalice... like wtf man stick with your brothers an let others do what you can't figure out

[@shadixbloodshadow]

I enjoyed it. But I have noticed that I usually have to take Control and lead alot of the time

[@wilfredwayne7139]

My thoughts exactly and I'm kicked for it sorry if I don't want to check every corner.

[@shadixbloodshadow]

@wilfredwayne7139 I haven't had any bad experiences with it.. Surprisingly even mics off the pin drop indicator thing has made it easy to communicate where someone wants to look or go... For the most part anyways.. Some ppl are just clueless

[@wilfredwayne7139]

@shadixbloodshadow I'm just unlucky since 5.0 my teams have been crap most between 4-9 on substantial/relentless. Played lethal for the helmet won't touch it again without a really good team.

[@ashtin5392]

Not really add more tyranid mission or maybe another chaos faction.

[@PopeMcGrope]

Lethal was fun my 2nd run on it with heavy. All the other runs with bulwark before parry patch on less than lethal difficulties. It’s a nice change of pace but ‘Vox Liberalis) will always be best mission.

[@TheAllanmeadows]

Would have been nice to give the chalice holder a proper unique melee set and class ability, beyond just "torch guy".

[@wilfredwayne7139]

Not really I hate the cup section if I don't take it we spend ages on it.

[@chief1lung94-psn2]

Enjoy new map, run Bulwark and usually carry chalice, stomp stomp time!😂 But noticed people dont know where to go or what to do on floating platform part, fyi there are consistent spots in the dark area that if you get used to seeing indicate where to go 👍

[@GiggyWiggy2086]

I play vermintide 1 and 2 im used to crawling in dark tunnels with only light source is a torch

[@jyoung488]

I liked it aside from the chalice part. I think if they kept it all the same except one person just has it, like a guardian relic, and can still fight and shoot normally. The way it is now is just kind of annoying and not much fun.

[@nathancawley8759]

I guarantee that guy getting kicked had nothing to do with the chalice. He was probably some level 3 on lethal with white weapons who was on respawn by the end of the first encounter,, respawned, died again after the chalice part, and rather than 2manning for another 5 mins they kicked... repeatedly. He just knows "i get kicked at chalice". I really wish they'd stick a level restriction on ruthless and lethal so that unless you solo it on that difficulty with that class (proving you can pull your weight) you are prevented from burdening others and preying on their good nature by expecting them to carry you so you can level faster at their expense. I havent tried it because I heard there were puzzle/maze mechanics and I hate puzzles and mazes because there are so many stall conditions which contribute to eventual failure through entropic attrition. I did complex problem solving enough in my professional life. I want clearly marked objectives and instructions in games, with the only lack of action being loading screens and between missions.

[@RebelOfTheNorm242]

The problem with the map is simply that if I’m carrying the chalice, I have to rely on other players to keep me safe. In Relic, that’s almost impossible with radoms, as everyone thinks they’re the main characters of something….and that coming from a Vanguard main lmao

[@G8oo8N8]

The new map is cool. I mean, at first, it was hard. But it is pretty challenging and also funny when you have the noobs in there. That don't know what to do 😂 i was one of them.

[@RaduAdrian-f7k]

I like the dark souls type of enviroment.

[@anonymussssssssss]

Can we please take some time to talk about the awful servers that they haven't talked about fixing? Aside from the long loading screens and outdated lobbies, there is no class filtering so there is a very good chance you sit through a long loading screen just to have to sit through another one when the class you want to play as is inevitably taken. It shouldn't take 15mins on average to get into a decent match. No one seems to be discussing this but they keep announcing skins. Please make a video about this topic.

[@megatronbee]

Obelisk for me is the best map

[@dmar3651]

It's a pretty good map, with decent challenge and mechanics. Some parts are more difficult than others, but it's not boring at the very least. Fall of Atreas was way worse than this one.

[@matheusyash3691]

All good things aside in this op, these flying guys with the lethal buff, the purple cloud I guess, I just wanna gun strike myself whenever I see this, first try my lethal obelisk with the lads and thats it, no more chaos lethal until next op.

[@JigSawFrags]

Obelisk is weird af. Actual boss fight was easier than Helbrute and don’t even get me started on the tombs

[@tokyogaru]

if this is last mission in game pve i gonna disapointed in whole game . dungeons is not what we was expected . also nobody replays missions from main company . so for now game is about 8 almost similar darky dangeon missions

[@dr.krabba4817]

mid imo nothing special to it honsetly, the dark tomb was an interseting switchup but a bit useless and the last boss is just pathetic

[@KB8Killa]

The boss is very disappointing. Should have been a horde defense

[@timrockett]

I like it

[@frischebanane]

So I would say the good maps are: Inferno vs many xenos Decapitation vs xenos Vox Libertas vs mixed Ballistic engine vs xenos Termination vs xenos The not so good maps are: Relic Fall of stress Obelisk I don't like the fantasy dark souls settings I very much like jungle, industrial mixed maps ..anyone else ?

[@frischebanane]

It's the best game ATM and Overall for 40k Fans ,my only criticism is THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MISSIONS! 😢 😅

[@DoctorSparta]

I think it was fun for what it is, but the chaos enemies are what turns me off. Killin swarms of bugs is what gets my blood pumping. I want 50 things on screen to smash and blow apart. Not 20 things that hop around, stay out of range, and have annoying attack patterns. And yes, i mean annoying, not hard. The combat has a lot less flow to it in comparison, imo, and its just not my thing rn.

[@radu808]

pluuuuuussssss It is clear it this is cut content form the campaign

[@uriel7565]

The map is mediocre at best. I don’t hate it, but it’s a chaos mission, and nobody really enjoys chaos missions over tyranid ones. The first half of the map is somewhat enjoyable, and I’ll admit the atmosphere and visuals are far superior to the other maps in the game - but that’s about the only positive. Gameplay-wise, it’s awful, especially the chalice section. It overstays its welcome by far; even if it were cut in half, it would still feel too long. Reducing it by 20-30% would have been ideal. Then there’s the boss fight - if you can even call it that. It’s basically a survival challenge where you break the orbs to disable the sorcerer’s shield. The sorcerer isn’t even special - just a regular enemy - and he dies instantly once the shield is gone. It’s by far the most boring boss fight in the game.

[@radu808]

the answer is NO

[@mattbeddows4454]

Don't like it. The rotating island section is dumb, and takes too long.

[@carlosfernandez1456]

It will take long if you can't figure it out
