Some of the banter is pretty funny. Had a Saltzpyre use a healing draught while almost at full health, and Sienna just went "Saltspyre..." In a condescending tone, to which he responded "The wound was deep, I could hardly stand!"

I had an elf quaff a healing potion at 80% hp (as they are want to do) to which bardin said " typical, the elf is only looking after her own skin". Elf hate is now canon.

I pub a lot, because I like this game more than my friends do. The only pubbie thing that annoys me is that I'm yet to see a single wh captain saltzpyre mark anything. Come on, man, that's like a third of your passive kit!

I've played most characters to at least 5, and so far my favorite by far is the stock saltzpyre, with merc kruber as close second. Something about the rapier and the halberd really clicks for me.

I also try to minimize my elf time as much as possible, because not having health regen feels very bad after switching :saddowns:

However, some new lines are no bueno. You all noticed the elf is a dickhead to the wizard now? She never used to give Sienna poo poo but now there's this "elf toddlers do what you do" poo poo coming out constantly.

counterpoint: sometimes Sienna calls Kerillian a lumberfoot when she picks up a downed elf

Good news, you can get passive healing as a trait on certain trinkets. Bad news is that it also disables regular healing though potions and medkits.

I don't think so, since it's fine in other games. I'm assuming there's an ini file somewhere...

there's user_settings.config at users/whatever/AppData/Roaming/Fatshark/Vermintide 2, and what looks like an entry for mouse sensitivity, but editing the values doesn't seem to actually do anything

Elf hate has always been canon. Some of my favorite lines in the first one.

.:pack master grabs the elf:. Bardin, "Strangler has got our elf. Are we sure we want her back?"

.:pack master grabs the elf:. Salty, "Stop strangling the elf! I want to do that!"

Best new lines

.:Kruber drinking:. "you're still no ale" and I've only heard it once so I think it's really rare, "I ale you were a wish."

There's also one where Sienna tells her if she wasn't so selfish and annoying, maybe people would want to help her and she wouldn't have to go 'every elf for herself' so much.

Actually, messing with other values (eg the resolution) does change things, so I guess it's hard-coded to cap out at 10, which doesn't seem great :/

I feel like flamethrower is in a decent place with the change, it still straight murders hordes. However, it has a lot of drawbacks. It take several seconds uninterrupted to charge it, it's vulnerable to being interrupted if your allies don't watch your back, it does poo poo damage against anything beefier than fodder, and you have to give up all ability to effect more than 7 feet in front of you. I really like taking it on pyromancer since I still have her active for special sniping if my team is not in position to do so. I am wary of how it will be once I go up to FF enabled difficulties.

Saltzpyre doesn't have to be the one who marks stuff, the enemies just take extra damage when marked if Captain Saltzpyre is in the group. It's the same as how Ranger Bardin causes ammo to drop from specials even if he's not the one who kills them.

it's nice when you're 75% through a mission with all the tomes and grims and then the host who's a grim holder dies and quits because getting nothing for the mission instead of slightly less stuff is cool

Man, I really thought I was killing the gently caress out of poo poo with the 2H hammer on the Dwarf, then the game ends and I had more shotgun kills than I did hammer kills. I want to love the 2H axe instead but drat if that doesn't get stuck in most mobs too.

If you were knocking them around a ton and damaging them, and still cleaning up with a shotgun, you were still doing really well.

A lot of the time the person with the most kills and damage is the one playing too aggressively that everyone else has to scramble to cover. It really says nothing about how good you are or how much you're helping your team.

The Drakegun still feels great and they fixed the bug where you would always do a regular attack after the charged attack. Was already used to charging up before a horde. Still can play a whole level mainly using it. The new map kinda sucks. And the dwarf singing in the intro mission was great.

2h axe on the dwarf is great, its an armored killer, the 2h hammer is a crowd control weapon and you will bounce off armor.

I like the new map. It doesn't have any annoying sections like collecting barrels or shooting tumors and you can blow through it pretty quickly. Plus annihilating the boss in 3 seconds is always funny.

To be fair, I read that one of the elf classes can kill tanks just as fast, but not from ranged.

Given how annoying 3/4ths of the tanks are to fight it's probably by design that there are some classes that can kill them really fast if they have resources up.

Willie Tomg

Yeah I feel like the group needs concrete answers for

--Control
--Bosskilling
--Can opening
--Special assassination
--Thinning waves, especially berserkers/monks

And every character can be specced to do some of all of it, but nobody can do even most--let alone all--of it with just one build.

well kruber could up until this last patch at least, and at least on recruit Sienna does a REALLY good job at all of the above with the fireball staff and Pyromancer. her active can kill a rot-helm from clear across the map. it recharges really fast, is an automatic hit, and has insane range. for assassination and can-opening it cannot be beat. it's pretty crazy, but i just hit 10 with her last night so i dunno if that translates to vet or not.

They really, really nailed it with the combination of the new engine and the combat feel. I'm still super new and not knowledgeable about the high end stuff, but loot feels way better as well. Definitely going to be playing a lot of this game and I hope I can convince some friends as well. Been real enjoyable playing with Goons.

Of course, the dude playing the elf is the one that goads the rest of the team into trying that big jump in the ruins level for the second grimoire. Of course he'll insist on getting it after most of us botch the jump, and of course the group wipes right after since everyone is wounded and prone to special ambush.

It's why I keep harping on getting back the "damage taken" stat. I know I kill a lot more with the falchion than rapier, but I also think I take a lot more damage. I don't want to be smug afterwards, I would legitimately want to see.
