The well is surprisingly hard considering its literally "sit in one spot, mow down the skaven coming from 2 directions, tops". Its probably the lack of healing supplies.

You're gonna be pissed when W&C gets made easier after a couple more patches.

The thing with the well is that you are in the open and those two directions are a lot of frontage. It's also literally "sit in the open in an area you would be running the hell away from and deserve a wipe for getting caught in on any other level".

Had an idea while hacking through rats a bit ago.

Rather than just getting nothing when you lose a run, how about doling out small amounts of loot dice for reaching certain checkpoints? Say something like this:

2-4 Checkpoints - 1 (Standard) Loot die each,
Finish the mission/map - full Standard Loot Dice (plus tomes/grimoires swapping them out

As an example, Horn of Magnus: Gunpowder Barrel Area and reaching the Tower of Magnus. Maybe just past the pigpens too.

At least you'd get some trash whites (and maybe greens) for a decent failure that way. It just kinda sucks to slog through an entire mission, get murdered just before the finish line due to bad luck/one mistake and then get nothing for a half-hour of effort.

Has anyone found any guides or fixes for stability issues? I'm getting constant crashes (loading into maps, loading into the inn, mid game, etc) It's getting to the point I don't want to jump in a game because there is like 75% chance at one point in the run everyone is going to have to stop for a few minutes while I attempt to reconnect. Sucks, because I'm really liking this game.

My computer turned into a grill because of that game. I have a frame limiter on and vsync too. I even lowered some of the most resourceful settings and I still get overheats after hour of gameplay or so. Even arma3 not so bad now.

I just noticed when you roll the dice and get a flaming sword the icon is literally a sword that is on fire. A weapon and a circle is a shield+that weapon. Is there a list of all the icons so I know what weapons I even had a chance at getting? I thought I read there were like 6 magic staves but I only keep getting bolt cage and shrieker. I tossed the starting fireball staff into a fuse pot and GOD drat DO I REGRET THIS. Even a white fireball staff is fine. Give me back my fireball staff.

The only time "Stealth" is a factor is when your group evades a patrol of 6-8 heavily armored rats who will gently caress you up if you're not prepared. The rest of the time, its wading through rats blades and hammers swinging.

The most effective 'exploit' right now that isn't boring is joining a game in progress. And this is the fix to that one as well:

So if you join Magnus just as it finishes, you get the finale bonus, not the full amount for joining and playing for one minute.

Might even fix the problem with pubs kicking at the end of a run...

Uhhh...i don't know who you are/were hanging out with (pubbies I suppose) but payday 2 is still alive and kicking. And there's a decided lack of people who want to play stealth. Get thee to the cts mumble and to the SA thread.

Back on topic, how similar is this to shootcop? I'm seeing a lot of gear talk, is that the main form of progression?

This is complicated by things like grimoires and tomes. If you join near the end of Horn where 2 grimoires are being carried, you still suffer the cost of carrying them through to the end. You also don't want to create any disincentive to people joining a game in progress, as there is a good chance the 3 remaining people WANT someone to join if they lose someone for some reason. I think it's best to just not worry about people who flit between games trying to find a 5 minute win. The cure would be worse than the disease.

Yes. It's also not like Paydude. At the end of the mission, you roll dice to see what gear you get from it. You can do some secondary objectives to load the dice to 'hit', but it doesn't change the fact that the dice roll, you get hits, and that determines your loot. Generally speaking more hits are better, but sometimes you get one more hit than you wanted and you pass by some good gear for a character you play to get some gear for a character you don't give a poo poo about (and thus is bad regardless of how good it is).

There are no skill points and levels simply give you more random gear, that is all of bad to middling quality.

The experience is very very different from Paydude. The game is generally much harder and more tight-fisted with all rewards. This is okay in that gear is not really required up to Hard level, but on Nightmare you start to feel it and on Cataclysm, the hardest level, synergistic gear is absolutely required. It's also kind of frustrating to play the game for a long time and not get an upgrade that you're interested in, purely because you have no agency on when it shows up.

After trying them some more, I actually don't think the elf's dual daggers are poo poo. She moves a lot with each attack and it lets you kinda skirmish around stabbing the gently caress out of rats, and they waste stormvermin well.

If you hold the Trueflight down until the Rat gets a red outline it'll shoot two targets, maybe more. Then use that to thin out waves at range with speed.

There's still something I don't know about, hoping someone here has an answer. When playing the BW, the little white indicators on the heat bendy-bar... what do they mean? Does being on fire above or below the indicators do anything in particular?

If you vent below those indicators you don't take any damage and if you vent above them you take damage every tick of venting above the indicators.

Looks like it does armor piercing on normal and charged attacks. If you go to your inventory and look at the Compare section on the right it'll tell you any special attributes a weapon does on a normal or charged attack in green text.

Most of the two-handers has this ability. One handed axes do as well because they lack a swipe combo on their basic attack, I believe this is also true for the axe and shield.

A similar question is what the hell the bar by the staff itself means. It doesn't look like it correlates to the indicators, since I can fill up the bar by my staff and vent before hitting the indicators, and that bar stays full. I thought it was a heat indicator for when you're not using the staff but it seems to drain much slower than the overcharge bar.
