Did the last few patches remove the notification for killing the assassin rat, or is there a problem on my end? Unless there's a quip from one of the characters about the gutter runner being dead, it's hard to tell if he's still lurking around. The death-animation shows them exploding into a fine mist, but that's not always easy to catch in the heat of battle.

Does not require preheating

Metrohunter posted:

I think the crosshair grows an extra pair of legs if you get a headshot. Like, it gets two extra notches on it when you hit something, and then another two on top of that if you scored a headshot.
Handguns and crossbows will drop stormvermin with a single headshot regardless of weapon quality/difficulty. Maybe not a white handgun on cataclysm mode but I'm not mad enough to try that one. Longbows require at least two good headshots

Gasrats are probably the hardest to reliably headshot because a) they really love to shuffle, 2) their hitbox is really weird. But I think an orange handgun (and maybe crossbow?) oneshots them even on a body shot on Nightmare

I've noticed some inconsistencies too, it's been recent though. Like you I keep searching for them until someone calls out the kill line.

I'm having trouble with the gutter runner notification, too. Sometimes I'll get the message, sometimes I won't. Team mates on mumble will say they see the message when I don't, so whatever is happening it isn't universal.

The problem seems to be that the host sees gutter runner death messages but no one else does. It's not good because it's the one enemy that doesn't leave a body.

New patch: http://steamcommunity.com/games/235540/announcements/detail/750211687556649969

quote:

Heroes!

We've just deployed a new patch to fix a number of issues related to Audio and Input. In true holiday spirit, we've also decided to grant two Exclusive Hats to all members of the official Vermintide Steam Group!

Join the group here!

Patch 1.1.3
Changelog
Feature Changes
- Members of the Official Vermintide Steam Group now receive two exclusive hats.

Changes to Input
- Gave weapon switching priority in input queuing to avoid attacks from blocking or cancelling queued weapon switches
- Fixed an issue causing weapon switches not to queue properly after crossbow hip shots
- Fixed an issue causing weapon switches not to queue properly while spamming attacks with fencing sword
- Adjusted 2h sword wield timing to chain more fluidly and consistently after attacks
- Fixed an issue that was causing weapon switching to not queue properly after pushing

We are working through every weapon type to ensure consistent behaviour and continue to fix issues with input such as unintended actions or not being able to swap weapon.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed an exploit with the Blunderbuss
- Fixed Brace of Pistols missing sounds
- Fixed a crash when equipping a specific mace
- Fixed a bug where the inn music would suddenly restart

Highlights:

-Should hopefully be able to quickswitch to your melee weapon to block more consistently now
-Join the official group for two hats
-They are about to leave for the holidays so probably nothing new for a few weeks
-This:

quote:

2015 has been a great year for Vermintide, but we're only getting started. in 2016 we'll be introducing new levels, enemies, game modes and much more. We hope you'll join us for the continued adventure in Ubersreik, and beyond.

If I block roger do I still take some damage? Is it maybe a function of how much stamina I have left? There have been times I've danced and blocked roger while I was at low health and managed to "tank" him and then tonight I swear I had full stamina and blocked an attack I didn't think I could dodge and boom I went down like a sack of bricks.

Some of his attacks can't be blocked. Anything that comes from overhead seems to have to be dodged.

Shoot, thanks man. I usually try to jump/dodge the ground smash but I must have had my timings off. What are these red weapons people are talking about?

Mzbundifund
Nov 5, 2011

I'm afraid so.
Red weapons are "veteran" tier weapons. They have the stats of orange weapons but have a unique appearance and the perks are preset, not randomly generated. There's only one red weapon of each kind. If you beat a level on Nightmare or Cataclysm the top result on the roll chart has a chance to be a red weapon. Because the perks are preset and most of them aren't that great, the general consensus on red weapons is that they are not worth the bother, especially since they don't do any more damage than oranges.

Block the swipe, dodge the overhead. Sometimes he will do nothing but spam the overhead while you're stuck in a corner and there's pretty much nothing you can do though.


Played with someone who had the protective aura from assists thing and it seems pretty cool. Your screen flashes blue when it appears on you so you know it's in effect, and a player with the effect has a portion of their health filled in blue. It lasts about 10 seconds. I assume the blue health is eaten by the aura, although I didn't see anyone get hit while they had it up so I'm not sure. Also, the headshots-give-stamina effect outlines your shields in green so you know when that triggers too.

Also I got the rainbow fish so my left 4 rats career goals are all pretty much accomplished.

My favorite is when Saltzpyre comments on Kerillians death. He is trying to be all cold at detached, "The elf had her uses," but he chokes up halfway through it.

Conversely I've heard the elf casually remark after Saltzpyre's death that we should not mourn because he was already dead on the inside.

Well, even the elf will sometimes say a requiem for Bardin and actually act respectful, so the statement is still true.

I'm curious, how well optimized is this game these days? I just upgraded to a GTX 960 2GB and I've been running F4/BF4/GTAV on ultra settings at ~50 fps, will I be good to go on high settings with Vermintide? I'm thinking about grabbing it with a 20% off code from greenmangaming, which means I won't be able to refund it.
