Phi230 posted:What the gently caress even is a mayfly Stupid elves have stupid long lifespans so they call other races mayfly because the mayfly bug has a very short lifespan. Basically she’s making fun of them for dying sooner then she will via old age Also the elf being an rear end in a top hat during the end times is kind of funny because she had future sight all this poo poo was gonna go down and could have actively prevented it but she wanted to be *~free of fate~* so she ran off to live in the woods without telling anyone. That’s why she has the line apologizing to The Weave for letting the rats and chaos do all this poo poo Dr. VooDoo fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Mar 7, 2018 |

I think this is gonna feel like another phase of the beta given how much they’re pushing back for after release and the fact that they still haven’t publicly beta tested half the maps I hope there’s another wheat and chaff situation where the intro cutscene pans back to reveal that everyone has already been punched off a cliff by roger

Blocked enemies take 50% more damage + Ironbreaker taunt =  my drengbarazi.I'm sure we're all on the "Fatshark / CA new canon" train where the events of Vermintide and Total Warhammer save the world and blow a raspberry to Age of Sigmar. Growing up I thought 40k was the cool poo poo and WHF was boring derivative nonsense but have I ever realized how wrong I was (OK I still like 40k). Go read posts in the Ask/Tell forum's history threads about Early Modern Germany to learn about the shenanigans of real world Krubers, everybody!

I would argue the majority of tabletop players/warhammer fantasy fans just ignore AoS or pretend like it doesn't exist or isn't canon because it is that atrociously bad.

If the Empire lore is accurate, he's probably the son of the Duke of Hass, which is inscribed on his cloak as a Knight. Hass is probably a province of eastern Reikland. This is kind of backed up by the fact that he's not wearing any knightly order heraldry but his pauldron badge is the symbol of the Empire of Man, and the color pattern is that of the Reikland troops.

Tenzarin posted:Saltz feels pretty weak to me. What is his good stuff? Get to bounty hunter, get the repeater pistol, and laugh as you now have a delete button for most things between that and your pistol shot special. Don't underestimate guys abilities because he doesn't have a Warhammer or an unending bolt staff massacre lined up. The rapier is among the fastest weapons in the game and gets work done on hordes while having an oh poo poo button for someone getting pounced. The hatchet is still quick and will also be a stout can opener. The falchion serves as a middle ground between spammy fast weapon and hardened armor slayer. The ranged weapons are all useful and well rounded (if maybe short on ammo for the brace) and reasonably accurate. Which hunter is very much a support type guy with his active, but it makes everyone real good while it's up. Bounty hunter gets the previously mentioned delete button and generally crits like crazy. Zealot is.... Ehh, I'm not real familiar with that one, someone else could sound off on it though.

His family were just farmers though.

It feels like I need to just follow a teammate and help him with one of those and hope they don't die. I mean, that's the name of the game, man. If a dude can solo a horde and armored enemies at the same time, rest assured that they're either extremely good, lucky, or are using some imbalanced thing that'll get patched out eventually. DeathSandwich posted:Zealot is.... Ehh, I'm not real familiar with that one, someone else could sound off on it though. I've been using Zealot pretty often; he's very tricky to use since his ability set rewards reckless aggression, but unlike Slayer his active ability will always force him to charge so his best bet for activating the attack speed buff safely is to charge into a wall, which costs precious time. Generally wading into a crowd calls for a heavy blunt weapon for knockdown spam too, but the Flail isn't quite good at that IMO, while Bardin has a 2H Hammer. I want to like Zealot more but I think he needs a buff to the Flail, if you don't want to use Rapier with it. toasterwarrior fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Mar 7, 2018 |

The rapier's one of the most flexible weapons. It'll do solidly against hordes and it's charged attack is pretty good against armor but you need to be headshot hunting with it. I wouldn't say it is excellent in any one role but it won't slouch anywhere either, so honestly it should be really strong in mixed groups. It does feel weak against hordes, for sure, but it will keep you from being hit really well. It also rewards headshots a decent amount. The falchion is the slower, harder-hitting cousin with a smaller coverage on the quick attack. It's strong attack is basically a slower, larger, stronger quick attack. I really want kerillian's longsword moveset on saltzypyre's longsword, unrelatedly.

Stepping up into the higher difficulties will just put you into more and more situations that you cannot solo even with the best gear/talents etc in the game.

If this document is accurate https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qO2oe8v0yX2rbR126UoDeIFQ7Eto5wMXmV-qKMHp3rM/edit#gid=1271422591 I suspect it is mass of weapon compared to mass of what you are hitting and I suspect it will be subtractive so if you have 4 monsters with mass 1, 1, 2, and 3 and a weapon with a mass of 3, you will hit 1 or 2 of them but never 3 of them. The only thing is some weapons have pierce which isn't on there.

Ironbreaker is extremely capable at pulling out some clutch wins if your pub team all dies and you're the only one left standing. It's passive + active ability, and some kiting works really well.

It gets more important at the higher difficulties when you can't just kill everything dead in 2 hits and the huntsman / sienna can't just wildly fire indiscriminately anymore due to friendly fire.
