Inzombiac posted:How's the population on this game, lately? It's still chugging along okay and it sounds like loot is a lot better these days (I didn't play on release, but everything i hear from folk who did makes it sound absolutely miserable) as long as you can reliably do Nightmare with randos. The sequel coming soon has a surprising number of people playing lately. Don't do easy/normal even with bots. Its a waste of time. Hard until you get good (hint: avoiding damage is 100% the most important thing in this game), then NM to chillax, and Cata if you see the Matrix but instead of green ascii scrolls its just rats and rats forever.

The pretty popular Quality-of-Life mod, or other variants, have an AI upgrade for the bots that makes them competent enough to go through Nightmare difficulty without much trouble, and good enough for Cataclysm if you're a good player yourself.

Is The Dungeon supposed to be the hardest mission on the game because I inevitably die at the torch holdout or the run to the surface. No trouble on any other mission. I’m cursed.

So I picked this up on the sale. Played one quick game but died near the end of the map. I'm down for playing with some goons especially if they've got the patience to show me the ropes and hold my hand a bit.

Not sure whether it's supposed to be or not, but yeah it is 100% the hardest mission in the game and I recommend skipping its grimoires, especially since getting the second one is a huge pain and having both is suicide for anything less than a good group. Inzombiac posted:Steam refunded the DLC. Good on them. the format of the game itself is the same. It has chaos enemies in addition to rats and every character is back but with 3 "careers" aka subclasses, allegedly they will be more like classes with skills unlike vermintide 1 where characters are basically just weapon pools

Do tomes have a health malus too? That might explain why I'm not making it out of the Dungeon. The first tome/grim set is the only one I've committed to memory from running it so much. e: i cant read but the point still stands

No, the only disadvantage of tomes is taking up the slot to hold themduckfarts posted:hey noobs: the first thing you need to do is play through all the main levels at least once (ubersreik) so you can unlock quests and contracts. it's fine to go through them all on normal if needed (normal is easy, easy is stupid easy) but get that done asap because it's the quickest way to get decent gear as well as shards for gamblin' and also ranald can go suck a dick and you shouldn't rely on drops ever this was changed. It's now unlocked at some low level, like 7. You should still play every level though so that you aren't experiencing white rat for the first time when your group is playing nightmare.

Tomes don't carry any malus, but they do take up your healing potion/medkit slot. You can freely swap them for health items though and you won't lose them. You can heal up and pick the tome back up. Grimoires take a third of your health each. There are trinkets that help mitigate this. Additionally, if someone tosses their grimoire away, the missing health is immediately refunded, but it's gone for good.Bogart posted:if i dont get victor i'll die. i'll just die

how 2 dungeons: Hold out in the corner next to the exit gate with one torch nearby. Put the other torch on the corner opposite from the gate. this is where roger always spawns. Use a strength potion and hagbane and/or volley crossbow to kill him before he does anything (use a frag bomb after the strength potion to keep him still if needed). This is important because this roger always has a huge wave of slave rats that come in ~10 seconds after he spawns, which is a huge dick move considering the darkness and the openness of the area. If you do this the rest of the holdout is easy. In the final run don't drop down until you've safely killed the first wave up top. Then move together making sure to kill both the front and back, and do not keep running forward if someone is fighting in the back. Help them kill. it's not L4D where you can ignore most of the action if you run fast, unless you have a shared speed potion. If rats are next to someone then consider it mandatory to kill them e: speaking of shared speed potions, they are goddamn incredible for events like the end of dungeons or enemy below as they let you flat-out skip multiple waves of fighting that could otherwise set a loss in motion. They're so useful as to make it worth the trouble to save a speed potion just for the event if someone has the orange potion share trinket.

Bogart posted:The only trinket I've got is a 4% chance to not consume an item when picking it up. The other two slots are situational depending on mission but potion share is always a good choice, luck or item dupe if you have a coordinated team and can designate someone as the "open chest" guy, the anti-grim trinket is always great, bonesaw/anti glob are decent for your last slot.

The must have trinket is the no friendly fire on bomb trinket. Hard to think of one with a bigger advantage than one that lets you get out of a team wipe.

The second portal can ruin you faster than the third if you don't shut down roger because he can punch people off cliffs (in fact there's a lot fewer directions to get punched and land safely than there are to get punched off a cliff)

At least the second portal has an ammo box. Roger doesn't show up until a fair way through the third portal and if you don't know the map it's easy to assume you don't need to worry about a second roger and spend too much ammo before he arrives.

Roger on the second gate stops being a problem once you get the timing down on bombing him while he's trying to cross the gap, he falls and breaks his rear end every time I play that map now.

Yardbomb posted:Roger on the second gate stops being a problem once you get the timing down on bombing him while he's trying to cross the gap, he falls and breaks his rear end every time I play that map now. Yeah, but it's the third gate that's the killer, as you end up doing it again with no kit if you gently caress it up.

So there's no point to using a Potion of Strength if I'm going to unload on Roger with the brace of pistols, but there is if I'm going to throw a bomb?  Fat Shark knows the important part of a bomb is not that it's a projectile, but that it explodes, right?

Another important factoid the wiki fails to mention is that it makes all your attacks ignore armor. which can be somewhat useful.
