Picked it up, so did my friends and we opened our evenings up tonight so should be fun. Really liking the change of pace created by chaos and rats. I assumed fighting regular chaos guys would just be flavor, but their attacks are different enough that it changes your tactics. Also the new special enemies are all very tough! Theres also a talent system locked to your levels, which makes charcter builds viable too, which I think is a nice addiiton. Havent gotten much in levels obviously but looking forward to that. My biggest gripe is that you no longer get a text notification when someone kills a special vermin. If the creature isnt tagged blue it can be hard to know if it's dead. Im hoping thats just a beta thing though. Also, it crashes a lot when selecting quick play but I assume that'll be fixed and hope it wont cause any issues with playing with friends tonight overall if you liked the first game, this ones that and better.

elf is really good period mechanically, the hagbane continues to be the most overpowered thing in the game by a country mile and her spear's charge attack gives you a speed boost and is spammable, so you can literally walk forward faster than your allies and you therefore get first dibs on all tactical positions when they're most organized. if you play with someone that truly understands and uses her advantages like Lune you might as well just AFK and come back for the loot because the only thing you're going to be contributing is moral support. this isn't true with any other character as far as i've seen so far; you can still feel helpful even when playing with someone a lot better than you because you can keep up and their ranged weapons are good for some subset of things so furballs are inevitable. kerillian's hagbane can literally erase an oncoming horde before they hit a team that's standing its ground and her spear, on top of being good, lets her move substantially faster than anyone else so you can't even really have fun handling random groups of enemies; the elf will always get there faster and will have most of them sorted out by the time you even arrive. so in summary, willie is correct: even when the elf is good, the elf is bad. e: Madcosby posted:My biggest gripe is that you no longer get a text notification when someone kills a special vermin.

Keep an eye out for them next time.

Enjoying the poo poo out of the massively increased enemy (and boss!) variety. Playing on normal it's usually rats or chaos, one or the other, but once you start playing on hard they get mixed together real quick.

Game is good, but It is a bit crashy on my system. Haven't been able to finish a mission due to it. Hopefully, it's just an old build

So what is power? Is it essentially a gear score type thing or does increasing your power increase your damage?

I found two trinkets with stats like A: Power 40, -22% damage taken from Skaven B: Power 30, -28% damage taken from Skaven and there's no info about what power is, afaik. If its going to be treated like a gear score tool, seems its already broken. It'd be nice if they could tell us what it is

Madcosby posted:I found two trinkets with stats like According to previous interviews and a bit of interpretation on my part, I think Hero Power is supposed to be some kind of damage amalgam stat that takes the place of increased damage on individual weapons. I think it might be threshold based though so a few points here or there doesn't seem to translate directly into more damage.

Ravenfood posted:One is better than the other while still remaining in a specific tier of powers, I suppose. The example above looked like a tradeoff between higher power and an increased damage reduction. white trinkets don't have affixes though, so if it's just to gate difficulty then the power on trinkets is completely meaningless, isn't it?

Whatever power is, discussing it gets you booted from the beta.

Hero power is just Gear Score from games like Destiny or The Division. Difficulties are gated to these. Ostensibly.

I feel like your damage does rise from having a higher hero power rating. I am doing more damage on the dummies then I used to. Once I upgraded all my gear with higher power stuff.

Still constantly crashing. Did get to finish one mission which was great. Every other single one crashed to desktop. Running a 980(latest drivers) and 6th gen i7 so it's not that. I also have run the gambit of video and sound settings. Hope the next beta is more stable for me. Would post about the crashes on the official steam forum, but it seems they did not grant access to everyone.
