Jimbot posted:Some people get really nasty when things don't go perfectly. This one person called the whole rest of the team "retards" at least several times. I told him to stop playing games and seek help if he keeps getting worked up over trite like these kind of games. Which is particularly bizarre seeing that the game is brand new (same mechanics but new maps, enemies, all that). I've had several people going "ALL GRIMS ALL TOMES FINAL DESTINATION ONLY" right out of the gate.

Frustrated posted:They removed the city map with the temple of Sigmar and replaced it with a village map, so we at least get one map of variety. I still don't get the map limit poo poo if they're keeping progress and this is the release client... Everyone playing has already paid for the game, all they have to do is flip a switch next week since we're on the release build, and there's no way to test a lot of stuck bugs on 9 or so maps without letting people play them before release. Probably just so that the game's not solved on release day.

So I'm the one in my group that wasn't really fussed about class and as a result I've been shoehorned into the bright wizard. What is my role, and what would an ideal bright wizard on your team be doing? e: VT2

Gunder posted:It feels like the special rats/chaos guys are much harder in this build, even on recruit. Yeah, the higher difficulties are basically the director going "while constantly fighting a horde, whats the most bullshit combination of specials/patrols/bosses I can do in the allotted level space???" Having dedicated can openers and special snipers is even more important now than in the first game, and it was crucial in the first game.

Orikaeshigitae posted:Probably just so that the game's not solved on release day. I'm just complaining because I have a compulsive need to level up characters now that progress is saved, but it feels like they just released a quarter of the game for no reason. Either reset progress on release or release the whole thing now. Allowing people to grind to level 30 on 3 maps is silly. Edit: If quickplay has the whole suite of maps then I'll stop complaining. That's fine with me.

What is my role, and what would an ideal bright wizard on your team be doing? You are massively gear dependent. As Battle Wizard with the very starting weapons you're gonna want to hold off on using your ranged until there's a horde, mostly using light attacks on your sword for lone targets and charged side to side sweeps to CC folks. Also the third attack in your 3-hit light combo with the sword is an armor-piercing headshot, so that's important. When a horde shows up, fully charge those fireballs (listen to the sound) and pop off as hard as you can without overflowing your heat, taking out swarms handfuls at a time. Your charged fireballs are also pretty good against stormvermin and chaos warriors/raiders. When you're maxxed out switch back to sword CC whoever's left, taking special care to focus on the edges of the fight so your team doesn't get overwhelmed, and wait for your passive to kick in and vent you. This all changes somewhat depending on your staff and weapon, which all do different things and allow you to cover different needs for the group from boss killing to swarm incineration. Earlier in the thread I posted videos of the other two classes if you wanna see how the hero develops as you level up e; vvvv For real tho

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:So, just got the game, never played 1, hoping I can get some newbie question answered that the game doesn't seem to explain. this is if someone holds a grimoire. basically if someone picks up a grimoire your team loses 30% of their max health. I think there are usually 2 grimoires a map, so thats up to 60% health loss. They take the place of your potion slot and if you complete the mission with them you get a better loot box thing or whatever.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:So, just got the game, never played 1, hoping I can get some newbie question answered that the game doesn't seem to explain. 1: Strength makes ALL of your damage higher for the duration, this includes your ranged weapons and bombs. 2: Dunno on that one. 3: Grimoires, fleshy books filled with bad juju, which serve the same purpose as tomes, giving you better loot at the end of the match if you can carry it into the exit, there's two on a level, first cuts 25% HP from everyone, second carried too cuts 50%. 4: There's 3 I see freely selectable, but yeah quick play is giving people more than just those as well it seems. 5: Use as necessary really, but yeah if you know roger (Rat ogre) is coming up like the barn in the grain fields map, save it and blow his rear end up with it instead. 6: Can't say on that one either.

Are bombs really useful at all for bosses though? I was saving them for proper hordes/sticky situations during the beta because they seemed to do jack poo poo for damage.

Just did the map they were showing on the stream where you have to blow up the manor and the whole city starts exploding, with none of us having any idea where the gently caress to go, it was hilarious trying to escape at the end. It literally came down to a mad sprint to get to the shadow gate before the pursuing rats killed us, just to be knocked out mere steps from it, and to then have an AI elf bot pick us up and take all of the aggro which allowed the rest of us to escape. Game of the year 10/10

My first piece of loot for Kruber was a 1h mace, which I hadn’t used prior to this since I chose to focus on stuff woth shield so I could bully rats and stuff them into lockers. This weapon, even at 13 PL, is a godsend.

It is funny seeing all these people who were amazing at V1 get slugged with scrubs like me and trying to carry. Granted they always want to get both grims every time and it rarely turns out okay, buy I was in a match with an elf that was an absolute blender and we dragged through somehow.
