TheLastRoboKy posted:On my wish-list is a Bretonnian pack with a Knight of the Realm/Knight Errant and his Man-At-Arms/Squire as characters. The dialogue between them alone would be worth the price of admission with the whole "Super nobility that has no idea how much of a prick he is and his long suffering but loyal dirt covered largely uneducated helper" interaction. I would love to see a Bretonnian knight, but I'm struggling to think of ways that the devs could differentiate him from the dwarf/soldier. Maybe instead of weapons he swaps out different kinds of shields that drastically change how he blocks/dodges or how he wields his sword. Then there's the issue with knights being forbidden from using ranged weapons of any kind, but honestly I'd be fine with a knight using a crossbow/bomb as long as he's desperately-shouting for no-one to look at him while he's planting bolts into a minigun rat on a roof. Also his headgear should always consist of ridiculously-ornate helmets, all of them muffling his voice to the point of being nearly inaudible by everyone else.

If they add an orc, each time he kills a special he should get bigger.

I finally got another bow for my elf and now I'm not sure if I should switch. Twice as much damage, but as half as fast and half as much ammo capacity. The base bow's charge attack already one shots regular rats, so should I bother going with the stronger bow?

I have a bow that only has 45 arrows or so and does far more damage it was absolutely worth the switch since now I can be lazy and kill 4 normal rats with one charged shot during a swarm.

I'd be down with some more nonhuman characters but they should probably stick to as few of the "evil" races (vampires, orcs, dark elves, etc) as possible to minimize confusion.

How does shield-bash aggro work exactly? Does it only affect rats that get hit or is it in an area?

Stab things in the head. Regular headshot = dead normal rat, charged attack & strength potion = dead stormvermin, or quickly dead rat-ogre. Use charged hag bow shows to clear swarms and help noob friends

I've been running solo sewers on hard, and although there's no grimoires OR tomes, I've got two blues out of it in less than ten runs. Plus it takes 1/5 the time of the other two missions. If you're trying to get geared up for the release, this is the way to do it IMO. There's even a slight orange chance.

I just started doing this after my multi grimoire groups poo poo the bed in the home stretch one too many times. Quick and easy most times and I can listen to podcasts while I do it. Would recommend.

Get a longbow, on hard the hunting bow is only really effective against slave rats during hordes. A longbow should be able to 1 shot clanrats to the body, and charged should be able to 1-2 shot specials.

So here's something odd. I fixed my framerate issues by capping my framerate at 60 and turning v-sync ON  Someone on the steam threads posted about it and sure enough it worked wonders for me. Beta indeed!  Usually V-sync is a fps killer but this gave me a huge boost.

Calling bullshit on anyone clearing a level with only bots. I have yet to see them even one time not all die pulling a conga line right into a ratling gunner. Doesn't matter when or where, it is 100% assured that if they can see the thing before I do the run is already over.

Pubbies in this game are a special breed of stupid and this is coming from someone who willingly plays with pubs in Payday 2. The A.I. wins simply on the fact that doing nothing is less of a run-ender than pubs doing ANYTHING.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the Wayfarer's Trueflight Longbow is brokenly good. It does damage comparable to the WH/Dwarf crossbow while having more ammo, a faster reload, and it homes in and autoheadshots multiple rats per shot when you charge it. The thing is unequivocally great at pretty much everything: It wrecks specials and autoaims them so you don't have to, it hit's multiple shitling enemies per fire, and in the event of a swarm all you have to do is get behind the tank in the doorway and fire blindly out the door because the arrows do all the work for you. My trueflight has extended ammo as well, so I've got 40 shots per reload which lets me get super liberal with firing it off willy nilly.

I just got a blue trueflight and the only thing that was killing it for me over the white longbow was the low ammo. Good to know there is an extended ammo trait.

Oh I have no doubt in my mind that they are better than pubs. I have seen a bot face tank an ogre as it pounded them into a corner and take no damage for it, no pub could ever pull that one off. My issue is mostly my terrible luck and whatever it is that makes the bots go full RIP AND TEAR on the one enemy they should not be zerging into. I see almost zero of the other specials because as soon as a bot sees it they shoot it in the face and then tell me about how awesome they are. That aside, game is good and I hope it continues to be good into the future.

Bots are better than pubbies for one simple reason: they don't loving wander off and get lost only to get hooked or jumped and destroyed while bitching that we're not running the 900 mile distance back to their stupid rear end fast enough.

Yeah, cause they can't chat. They sure do go wander off after specials by themselves though! As a group, the bots do OK. With one or two, they're awful.

Bots will also do another thing: Teleport right next to you. So at the start of the sewers mission, you can quaff a speed potion, and run to the first bomb drop and they'll be right next to you. Course you'll be down a potion but you'll save several minutes!
