NightVis posted:the few times i've been pushed into playing elf that's pretty much what I did and it's a lot more helpful to the party than trying to play sniper There are times to snipe and times not to just like any class. I blade most of the time but if the team is really getting overwhelmed I will drop back and start wave clearing with the true shot bow. DOne right that bloody thing can drop a ton of rats. Still have yet to get a half decent longbow.

When one in the party engages in melee with more than a handful of rats everyone should go melee*, including Drizzt Do'lego'lass. * conditions permitting Lima fucked around with this message at 12:15 on Oct 29, 2015 |

This is not an emptyquote I swear Whoever posted that banning the Elf is a smart thing to do: I love you. I banned the elf after a couple of games where we were three friends plus one rando pubbie. The pubbie was always the elf, was always useless, and hogged all the healing items. It got particularly bad as we were playing Black Powder on Hard, and the Elf player just sat on his fat rear end in that one tower with the ammo pickups, doing nothing. So, I called him a useless limp-dicked retard, and told him to pick up the barrels. He left the game.  Pretend that's my avatar, rather than Burg's old avatar

Fanzay posted:This is not an emptyquote I swear  As you can see, you're not actually banning the elf, you're just saying you won't play as the elf. And the Black Powder? The elf was doing the exploit and left after encountering people actually wanting to play the map as intended.

If you don't wanna cheese black powder, don't, but it seems weird to get mad about/look down on people who do. Personally I find it pretty fun - even when you have a good group and know exactly what you're doing the stool guy can get pounced or ratlinged off the stool or you can get random spawns that blow up barrels or whatever, so it's not mindless.

You can also just bite the bullet and play the elf, which guarantees you won't get Pugolas Do'Rando.

Can someone explain to me what the Black Powder exploit specifically consists of? I've been playing with a friend of mine, and he always runs up in some loving tower on his own and stands there shooting at the rats, somehow without being overrun, and I'm suspecting him of being a dirty cheesemeister. Cheese is for rats, everyone. Remember what we do to rats.  E: we really need a with Saltzpyre and a rat. And 48 guns instead of one.

Like whenever I wizard's tower with two grimiores, three tomes, and a handful of cursed die there are no trinkets even on the board and whenever I roll seven naked die, trinkets are the top three options just to rub it in. I'm about level 20 and I have only one. It reduces ratling gun damage by 20%. Thanks, game?

Musluk posted:Also, brace of pistols/dual wielding from elf+speed potion makes the rogre into chunky salsa sauce. You can shoot all (default) 48 flintlocks into the rogre's nethers under the effects of the speed potion and still have enough time to stab. If the speed pot is shared, you still have enough time to unload all the flintlocks, ever. On a related note, I got a blue crossbow with +zoom distance and knockdown. Is that going to be as mediocre as I think it is? I mean, ideally, everything I shoot at with that thing dies, and I've never had a problem zooming in with the default crossbow, so...stick with my green skullcracker pistols until I get something better? vvv Yeah, few days ago I had a level 0 join on hard. Did just fine with a little prompting to avoid the Stormvermin. We cleared it without an issue. Ravenfood fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Oct 29, 2015 |

They all suck and can't even seem to get through a normal game let alone hard+ It makes no difference if you are in a group with someone who's level 1 and bad at the game or level 95 and bad at the game; in either case you should find a new group if it's annoying you. Ideally play with friends or goons, as being on Mumble with your group makes the game 100x better.

Zoom is useless, knockdown is great for difficulties where you don't 1-shot stuff.

Just jumped into a Cata run on Horn and started dead. One player is alive at the gunpowder and is running around with unlimited ammo and all the rats are ignoring him.

This game is fun but it is unbelievably undercooked. I want to like it but it's hard when you'll be walking through a tight corridor and a group of rats will drop down and surround you, blocking you from moving before their models have actually even touched the ground. Or you'll be holding a swarm at bay and a catcher will snag you and drag you away, clipping through the rat swarm with ease. Or a rat ogre spawns during the intro. Just countless things that absolutely should have been fixed before beta ended. The core gameplay is fun, the voice acting and writing is really good, setting is awesome, but the programming and tuning is beyond garbage.

Ravenfood posted:Yeah, but I feel like with a crossbow I should just leave that to people who DO have the ability to one-shot. Eh, could be worse I suppose. Is there a way to pick which upgrade I want to unlock so I can just grab knockdown? Might as well have it in case I get matched with a group of people that's completely lacking a rifle or something. I'm still all poor so I'm trying to be picky with my upgrade choices. Thing is, you mostly can one-shot stuff on nightmare/cata with a headshot. If you miss the headshot due to moving targets or people bumping into you, the knockdown is still hella useful. And yeah, you can pick which upgrade you want by clicking on that upgrade's icon in the forge before upgrading.

How do I use Slatzpyre's rapier gun? I cant find it in key bindings.Trier posted:
I would love to see that replaced with Saltzpyre shooting the elf. :vermintide: E2: I have been trolling blackpowder all day and it feels good. PRO TIPS: Hold a barrel and run around refusing to throw it into the ship. If they start a kick run as fast as you can into a big swarm of rats and throw it at them. Shoot a barrel and throw it into a bunch of them or shoot a barrel in their little nestegg of like 5 barrels. If you're on the stool jump! Jump! Jump! It'll make rats go crazy.

Its right below the regular attack and alternate attack bindings, possibly called 'special attack' or something like that I don't recall exactly, but if you can't work out the pattern of something bound to mouse1, something bound to mouse2, then one more then you can always play the elf instead. I don't have a mouse button like that:(

Metos posted:bruh the only endgame thing it has is loot, why rocket yourself immediately up there and then have nothing to work towards as you slowly realise there's no point to doing the other maps because you've removed the incentive to play risky with grimoires and have fun tense fights. the game is plenty fun without the stress of grimoires and the return on investment involved with them is pretty garbage. peopel still play l4d, the gameplay style is fun on its own, the added loot grind is mostly a poor addition and being able to shortcut it is probably a net benefit to everyone

I'm not sitting there endlessly running BP to have the best BW gear and obsessing over it having the best modifiers and everything else is a waste of time. Same as I'd rather fight out Horn every time on Nightmare because that's what the point of it is, a tense 'will we actually make it out alive?' section where everything before it has just been the buildup and the stakes. "I just want to get out with my loot" is a lovely excuse for being afraid of experiencing it.
