They really need to lean into "Nurgle" more for the chaos designs. As is they're fairly visually boring.

Supposed to carry over but there's a small chance that they might have to reset.

They're really missing out by not taking a page from Resident Evil and giving chaos mooks a chance to wig out and mutate into something more dangerous once you 'kill' them.

And the leech/blightstormer need to be more distinct from each other. One of them really ought to encompass the "malnourished plague victim with a bloated stomach" asthetic.

I'm caught somewhere between horror and amusement listening to the Blightstormer rave about how great it is to feel the "kiss of pestilence upon your cheek" while it sounds like his lungs are bubbling up liquid.

Also: Warhammer + Blunderbuss on Huntsman is insanely fun to me

It's still only one act's worth of 3 maps, just FYI. There were two more playable maps in the beta but I guess they want to test out intrinsic act progression or something.

3 maps seems ok to start with. Gonna need to gather insane amounts of lewt off the bat, so I'm guessing there's a new horn of magnus equivalent we'll be running back to back. I'm sold.

The game now gives a pretty good bonus to the loot roll at the end for playing random maps. No more running one single level ad nauseum.

This would be completely amazing, I'd love it. This, a different silhouette for either the leech or blightstormer, and maybe some more Nurgle-y mutations etc for the Chosen and berserkers, in that order of importance, would be my biggest "big changes" for the game while balance tweaks and so forth continue.

E: the sound design for the new Chaos specials are pretty great though, I'll give them that.

Also if you're holed up in a hallway and a horde is coming from only one side, please don't join your team in hacking at the crowd. Three people blending enemies won't be helped much by you jumping into the fray, but you'll definitely help your team out when the second horde comes down the other hallway. At some point, you have to trust your team to watch your back, and the same goes for covering theirs. There have been so many times where we've been in a building with 3-ish main entrances and I'll be happily holding down my window or door or whatever when suddenly I start getting hit in the back because someone got bored at their door and came over to "help" and now I'm completely surrounded.

This seems even more important in the new game because enemy AI, including for chaos who seem to fight literally identically to skaven in my experience, go to outright ridiculous lengths to spawn and get behind you

Last night we were standing next to the second(?) tome on the barf tree level, where you have to drop onto a small platform against the outer wall. A chaos horde spawned below us, all technically capable of just climbing up in front of us, but it was almost comical how many different insanely convoluted routes they took just to have about 1/2 of them drop behind us in three very slightly different places--jumping up, jumping back down, jumping up again, taking four times as long to get to us as the ones who just climbed up the front like you'd expect

So I think there is AI to deliberately make these situations happen all the time, and if there's no rats coming from your direction during the horde you only have to wait three seconds before there will be

I'm not finding it too bad, you should read the passive as "50% damage reduction" just don't go to 99% overcharge and have a slave hit you in the back, unchained does have a issue with getting surrounded while the ult is down but so does everyone, also noticed due to the description that high overcharge slows your attack speed which the unchained skips, I guess they explain it at some point in vermintide 1 but don't mention it anywhere in 2.

One thing I hope they change by the end of the beta for the unchained, if I'm about to explode and down myself my ultimate that clears all overcharge should be able to prevent me from exploding if I use it in time.

So, what should I do with repeaters for Kruber? They don't seem that good for Huntsman since the blunderbuss is hilariously good and the rifle/blunderbuss both function well for Mercenary. I assume the rapid fire is good for clearing hordes of slave/clan rats and zombies, but even then, why not just use the shotgun?

Got an orange necklace with health regens over time and I can't use healing items. It's pretty nuts. Take some dmg and then get some kills for the lvl 20 talent for temp health on kill and if I play it safe I just heal all the way up.

The shotgun feels really awkward to use. The pattern it rolls through makes it incredibly difficult for me to consistently land headshots at med-long for some reason, even with the -25% spread perk. I'm considering going with the repeater purely for the ability to consistently land headshots and then the burst to unload on bosses.

E:
I guess it's also possible that my powerlevel is just too low to really see the benefit of the boomstick, like tons of punchthrough, etc. Actually, can each pellet proc the passive +ammo, or is that per-shot?

I agree the long distance aiming feels funky. I guess the repeater just feels awkward but maybe I'll give it a shot (puns lol) and see if I end up liking it more

yep

Instant stormvermin shoves have also damaged me with no warning, in addition to the chaos warrior instant elbow hit which actually does a lot of damage, and I don't know how to actually dodge troll spit/see it coming if you're at all in range of it. None of those have hit me when I'm at 1 white health yet but it sounds frustrating as gently caress to get downed by that. They have a lot to do on making damage be more avoidable but it's feeling like you're just supposed to brute force these things with bigger numbers and/or bloodlust, based on what I'm hearing

I usually lead ranged kills in every game clearing all the hordes. Its fun as poo poo and ironbreaker is a tanky fucker with ignoring a hit every 13s, the ability to tank anything with his active, and capping off your health with a temp health buffer every horde. I really hope people don't see how good it is and get him nerfed.
