In other words, pvp is fine as long as it takes no time or money to make, which is literally impossible. Make no mistake, there is no way to add a non-horrible pvp mode to a game like this without a serious investment of resources. Lunethex just laid out some good reasons why it would be a massive effort to make it work with vermintide's existing design, and I guess I'll add my reasons to that when I'm not phoneposting

:thejoke: I was saying in a roundabout way that PvP in vermintide would be bad. And spending resources on something that best case scenario will only divide​ the player base is well a waste of resources. I do not understand this desire some of you have towards bring PvP and new enemy races into a game about killing rats with friends. Not fighting player controlled rats and some times orcs with friends.

Post? What post? Oh wow.
I had nothing to do with THAT.
Look, I want to be the rat.

Also if Vermntide 2 is set in Lustria, I want to be the Skink. One of the playbles better be a Skink with a blowpipe and funky Aztec weaponry.

Just got the first game from the Humble Jumbo Bundle, so now it's time to have rat-related fun with freinds while secretly wishing I could make all the humans die-die.

Honestly, with how toxic people were in lfd1 and 2 versus mode, I'm more than happy to never have anything like it again, drat how good the implementation could possibly be. Internet 'troll culture' is a lovely thing that tends to turn me off from anything remotely competitive these days, due to how quickly people are willing to tell you to kill yourself and intentionally tank the game/try to vote kick you because you might be playing sub-optimally from their skewed point of view.

Teaser really sounds like a Lizardman. Maybe a Hellpit Abomination? Doesn't really sound like what I'd imagine from a Hellpit Abomination but that's the only skaven-related thing that seems like a possibility.

The steam page goes through the trouble of awkwardly shoving in the nonspecific word "enemies" rather than making it clear this is purely rat-based, so who knows. Screenshots sure as hell don't look like Lustria though.

I think fighting goblins could be fun. They're similarly poo poo-tier fighters as skaven, they have a lot of personality, and they seem a lot more satisfying to smack around than VC skeletons. Might veer a little bit too far in the comedic direction for the general audience though.

It doesn't happen without any resource investment either, and if it was there it would be at the cost of resources that we want invested in the game we actually care about. If versus is there, the co-op we want will be worse, end of story.

I'm stuck trying to figure out the worst possible characters for a Vermintide sequel:


-Gnoblar

-A High Elf, but none of the cool ones, just the guy they get to pilot the bird-chariot

-Destitute Brettonnian peasant

-A Sigmarine

-The dead guy stuck in a Black Coach

-Disgruntled Halfling Wife with a rolling pin

-Two Scrunts in a coat

Hey now Gelt could/would be rad, his conflag staff just turns the skaven into lead statues.

Also a brettonian peasant who finally had enough would kick rear end, let me pitchfork and flail some rats.

I want a filthy peasant whose weapon choices include a pitchfork, a hunting bow, and a giant Twilight Princess-style ball and chain that murders everything around you but causes you to automatically drift around less and less controllably the longer you swing it.

Hat choices are just various shapes of floppy leather bag.

The Boston Terrier looks good on paper with how massive it's single-target damage is, but even after the patch the Pomeranian still beats it out on overall DPS.

Wish they'd fix the yipping from looping endlessly, though.

the jack russel is like the handgun in that it does a lot of work but then has to take a nice long nap to recover

it becomes the de-facto standard when someone realizes you can throw it at roger and there's an absolutely hilarious, neatly choreographed struggle between the two that lasts a full minute and ends with roger bleeding out on the pavement and the jack russel laying peacefully on its head, smiling like a champion

it is the only thing to smile in the End Times, but it smiles enough for the entire old world
