Unless something goes cataclysmically wrong, worse than what we had yesterday with the loot server exploding. Chances are, we're good to go on friday. Wonder if they'll 'release' at 12:00 UTC and we can get the new maps earlier.

Arcsquad12 posted:So when Total War Warhammer comes out, they should totally do a cross promotion with Vermintide: Skaven race for Total War, Orc and Blood Dragon mercenaries for Vermintide as new characters. A Lahmia residing in Ubersreik turning some non-soldier individual that night in response to the vermintide is a better solution. A totally fresh Lahmia would probably be weak/not evil/human-looking enough at that early stage to make them acceptable. Even a novice blood dragon would be crazy powerful compared to everyone else.

Yeah this new map is really cool. I like that they're not afraid to get weird, gets my hopes up for future missions. Sewers was a really bad idea to include among the first impression levels, sewer levels give off an impression of imagination bankruptcy.

While true, it would be kind of strange to fight Skaven and not at some point go into the Sewers, just to flirt with death. I love the Wizard tower and the fact the Consumables also ignore gravity. Also had a fun moment of "Get to the stairs" "What stairs?" "The stairs at the back" "We're in a forest!" "NO WE'RE NOT"

One of the grimoires in the tower is at the top of an escher-style staircase that you have to jump up, and then open a door which is on the roof. It hangs there in space above you and I had to jump to grab it. Wizard Tower is wonderful.

Joined a goon game, we decided to visit the mage tower. We entered the storefront and a rat ogre spawned behind the hidden door, basically stuck. Then my dwarf suddenly... died. From full hitpoints.

I realized I needed new friends when I told them Vermintide was very good and they said it looked boring because Left 4 Dead was only fun for 5 hours. Anyway rolling a 2 when you get 3 tomes and 2 grims is particularly frustrating. I keep getting greens in hard and it's making it hard to gear up for nightmare.

If that's the case, one of the grimoires has a randomized location because I found one in a room down one of the corridors in the intersection just after the second tome. It was just sitting on a pile of books, the room had a strange green glow inside.

They should probably do two things to making gearing less random: First, let you pick which item you get at the end of a run from among those that you qualify for (so, if you roll perfectly you can pick any of them). Second, implement an option on the Forge to reforge ONE and ONLY ONE of the enchantments on an item. If you get a weapon with one sub-par enchant, you can reroll that poo poo for a cost. If it's got two, pick the one you like the least, but the other one stays. Right now my biggest issue is that every piece of gear is random as gently caress in both acquisition and enchants. If they rectify that somewhat, it would make losing connection at the end of a map somewhat less frustrating.

There is little worse than overrolling for something you really wanted to get something you had no interest in. Say getting a blue hagbow instead of a green conflag staff.

Treating gear like some sort of test to get into the next difficulty tier like some sort of WoW raiding scheme might not be exactly what they were aiming for, at least I hope.

Not so much the second, as I think that is a conscious decision to keep the loot wheel spinning.

I think my biggest bummer right now is everyone seems to know exactly what they are doing. Like, the joy of these games in many ways is learning them. So far every Magus Tower I've done has had the Bright Wizard telling everyone over voip where the tomes/grimoires are, leading us around, and killing all the rats before we can even hit them. It makes the whole thing boring. I want a slog uphill learning the mechanics along the way!

Gear and trinkets help give you leeway for mistakes or bad luck, but no amount of gear will carry you through a level. One less hit to kill a monster means it has less chances to hit you, but unless you know how to shuck and jive, block and counter that one hit wont turn it around.

The loot stuff means that most randoms are gonna be trying to do it with all those secrets and as fast as possible. I'd advise against doing that if you're trying to learn the level, you can do it alone with the bots or your buddies to sniff out mysteries and learn the layout.
