In case that's a serious question, yes, the Skavens did invade the poo poo out of various dwarven holdings, and in End Times, have launched a world spanning invasion to subjugate the "inferior races", reduce them into slavery and exterminate them.

"Alright guys stay in a group and move towards the barrels" translates to "EVERYONE SCATTER" in dwarvish.

If your exposure to the empire is as an analogue to the Imperium of Man and their cities are named poo poo like Ubersreich, you can be forgiven for assuming the Empire are the Nazis at least.

Well, it's Warhammer so everyone has a little bit of Nazism inside them.  But I'm pretty sure the Skaven are an intentional jab at 1980s British neo-Nazis by GW.

I really like the risk vs reward the overcharge meter brings. So much better than any other magic system I've used in other games.

Use of the rapier requires precise aim and good parrying skills. Pistols require aim and ammo conservation. Which is why Witch Hunter is the class most likely to be used by someone who will flail at a Stormrat until he gets killed then call everyone noob fagtz.

http://updates.vermintide.com/release/schluesselschloss/quote:Between the Empire and Bretonnia, on land touching fast flowing water, you make your stand. A jumble of fortifications spiral around you. The walls and towers speak to you: “Remember the Schluesselschloss.” Sounds like this might be the survival mode they mentioned awhile back.

So they'll fix the really terrible special enemies in 2016 right  mostly the fucker who grabs you and drags you away from your team at 99% your max movespeed. Using a huge sword and/or axe and/or flaming sword to cut your way through everyone else is fun, though. The first time I did a charge attack with a flaming sword for the mage was a real thing, let me tell you.

Psion posted:So they'll fix the really terrible special enemies in 2016 right It's really weird because they seem to have a really good idea of what would make a fun and good mechanic, but no ability to balance things, where some specials are way more threatening than others, and some weapons are basically the same as another except for a huge downside (thinking especially of maces here).

The blue and orange handguns come with unlisted target penetration. Do not be squeamish about shooting your friends in the head on nightmare to free them from hook rats.

Unless it comes with a dot, friendly fire is always worth it if you get the hook rat. Even if it does it can be worth it. If you couldn't get to the player, they're a write-off, and the packmaster coming in for more turns a problem into a wipe.

I just wish they would add a way to knock back the special rats or avoid their attacks, also fix the way they just glitch teleport from point to point when they can't jump

Every special can be knocked back except for packmasters. It's one of the reasons they're terrible and lame and dumb and bad. You can even bat a gutter runner away as it jumps at you if your shove timing is perfect.

Hook rats are honestly the least threatening special to me. Since I play a wizard with a beam staff, 99% of the time I can kill any hook rat who goes after me without assistance, and I can usually get them off a teammate with no issues unless they ended up getting jumped after everyone else dropped down a ledge. Even without the beam staff, hook rats usually go down pretty easy provided I'm paying attention to my surroundings. Just dodge back and blast him in the face with a fireball or two. Basically, my advice for dealing with packmasters is to bring a wizard. Avenging Dentist fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Dec 31, 2015 |

90% of the time hookrats are a stupid useless enemy that you hear coming before you see it and have plenty of time to take out your gun and blow through their tiny HP pool. The other 10% of the time you're in the midst of holding off an ambush and one of the brown blobs has a hook and yanks you into the sea of brown blobs before anyone can react, and you get set up on stick for everyone to admire. If anything they should address the other specials not even hitting that 10% effectiveness mark before they go around making this game even easier.

I had a hookrat drag an ally through the wall on the finale of Wizard's Tower, and when it did kill him and he respawned, I got him up and he instantly teleported through the wall then died, again. Rat drugs happened that day.

Just played a nightmare round with a pub kruber who I had to teach about charged attacks blocks, and pushes. How the hell did this dude hit level 50ish!? I've had my buddies play my account, so there's always that chance, but drat, at least I was behind them telling then what to do.

I'd probably play this more if I could get in games with goons, since I like it but am just about at my limit with pub players, but I can never seem to find anybody looking to play. For now I've just taken to idling in the Steam group chat in case anybody drifts in.
