If I'm in a random pub game and they all want to use some stupid exploit I'm just going to go along with it because it's not worth my time or effort to waste time arguing with people like that.

If I'm with my friends we're going to man up.

it just baffles me that people insist on pubbing this game when there's almost always someone to group up with in cts/chat

to each their own I guess

Just finished a Sewer level and it kicked us ALL out at the end before rolling dice and giving XP. How incredibly massively annoying.

That usually means their servers are down and since there's no play offline mode, you're boned.

Next time, just rush forward and grab a Tome and Grimoire. Then they can't make you a sacrifice. Then when you 'accidentally' jump down after their sacrifice, they'll have no choice but to follow you.

But then its all of them saying "we will beam it!"

Hold the grimoire up and threaten to throw it off the tower if they even touch the beam. Then hurl yourself off the tower so they have to 3-man it.

Is it my imagination or is the beam not even that effective? Yeah the trash rats gets confused but all it takes is one bad gas rat or ratling for everything to go to hell.

I only saw it once though so maybe it wasn't being done right. But it honestly seemed worse than just bunkering down on the horn platform.

I'm just going to quote this and say its my opinion pretty much. Writing out paragraphs about it just isn't worth the time.

Do you know what is worth the time? Fusing together sword/shield and mace/shield melees for Kruber until you get an Orange. When I put together my Blues, I said to myself that no matter what the weapon was, the shield makes it worth it. The shield just gives you so much crowd control against trash rats and Stormvermin. With a good group, I can keep a patrol locked down while they snipe - or if I'm with pubs I can compensate for their lack of coordination.

When I fused I ended up with a Mace and Shield, which is okay. I feel kinda 50/50 on the Sword versus Mace, on one hand I miss the damage, on the other I love the knockback. Especially when there is a bit of lag between a clanrat's head and their body, so when I smack them their neck stretches cartoonishly until the body catches up and flies across the room.

I've had Ratling Gunners take cover among the flowing shitwater of the sewers that somehow blocks bullets while they're still able to fire out of the waterfall.

Somehow, it's the most Skaven thing.

The charged attack released quickly kills stormvermin in 4-6 hits on nightmare with an orange one, and hits all stormvermin in front of you while also stun locking them permanently. It's pretty effective.

Shield weapons are far and away the best weapons in the game right now to the point of being legit overpowered.

I just hope the devs don't care.

Anytime someone brings up dumb stuff that happened in a public game, someone else will make this post like clockwork. Problem is playing with people in CTS doesn't suddenly make all of these problems go away, just maybe less likely. I was the one drythe mentioned that had to be a sacrifice on horn of magnus, which didn't ruin my day or whatever but I find it seriously dumb when it's part of the team's plan for somebody to have to to alt-tab for 5 minutes while everyone else hides. It's annoying because I really enjoy that level but people do the spergiest poo poo for the ending for no reason. Is the ending really that much harder than on any other level like engines of war or wizard tower?

If they have to exploit the horn on hard that green they're going to get won't fix how bad they are at the game. You are doing Goon-Gods work.
