It's weird to me that people don't just mash the mark button while sweeping a field so you can see where all the specials/potions/bombs are.

I do this anytime I hear a special spawn sound. It will frequently highlight them even when they are behind scenery, and doesn't cost anything to do.

It's making zero difference in damage to the training dummies.

The training dummy doesn't seem to be very accurate. It's a hugely noticeable difference on bosses where you can see the healthbar, or just dropping knights in a single grudgeraker shot.

the grudgeraker is really goddamn good and it's great enough to even make me want to use it now and then even if i'm playing the ironbreaker and don't have the innate boosts to ranged going on. it seems to work kind of like a real shotgun in that it has actually decent power at medium range and i can reliably pop off specials that round the corner if need be.

As the Veteran Ranger, is there any point using any ranged weapon other than the Grudge Raker? With the VR being subjected to ranged damage drop off, there doesn't seem to be much point using anything else.

It's powerful in every possible situation. Hordes, armored enemies, specials, near, far, whatever. Having only two shots is barely a downside unless you're completely surrounded and that doesn't happen all that often.

i think in one of the last couple patches they actually lowered the damage dropoff on 'sniper' weapons? which would include the crossbow and handgun, i guess. i haven't done intensive testing by any means but they feel better to use and less like i'm uselessly thunking a bolt or 3 into something to kill it.

continuing on from this half the wizard's melee attacks (ceremonial dagger charge attack and flamesword charge attack) don't hit the dummies, none of the dot from her flames are visible making that a moot point, and you can't hit them with conflagration aoe either

The moral of the story is, it doesn't matter what difficulty it is or what level you are because this is Vermintide and you will die in the most inane ways. if you aren't in LoS of a teammate or within 30m of them back the gently caress up.

Also don't abandon your buddy entirely when a horde starts because one of you dropped a tome.

The sidearm with the rapier does feel pathetic. I headshot a warpfire thrower 6 times and it didn't die. It kept getting staggered, and each time I heard the crit sound I was like "finally, this is the time it'll die." Nope~

I didn't try him before the new patch, so I have no basis for comparison. It still seems to one or two hit fodder but maybe it's got poo poo damage dropoff or something.

Unless I'm missing something it's completely worthless now. It does ok damage at point blank range, literally once enemies are beyond melee range the damage is about half and if the`y're in melee range you're better off just swinging.

e. did some testing on the dummy, it's less than half a sword swing's damage at just a few paces away. If you stick it in their stomach and fire, it's about as much damage as a fully charged thrust. I would much rather them put the ammo requirement back and keep the damage what it used to be.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
I had an interesting bug with pubs. I guess the game de-synced for a moment, as the game decided I died while on my end I was still alive, if by a thread. It was proper death, too, while I still was running around and everyone was all sorts of confused. I freed myself later (CUZ WHY NOT) and then there were two krugers, how terrifying, but my client one didn't actually seem to exist. (Didn't get targetted, didn't attack. (The other one was just arms, too, amusingly.)) Fixed itself when I revived someone, but I assume there was still a ghost-me in the corner as the game decided to spawn no less then fifteen assassins on the group through the rest of the map.

Maybe it's good with the bounty hunter since there's no drop off.

Had the chaos boss spawn in that stretch of the festering ground where you cross the river.

It was actually horrifying and hilarious to watch as it then proceeded to knock kruber off, eat the dwarf and gently caress me and the elf.
