Oh, a ton of us did. Our giant discord has our Vermintide channel too. Loving this game.

Of course I know there's a mute button, but I've had some genuinely good games with people who aren't shitlords and who can communicate so I'm not one to just automute everyone because of the occasional lovely pub.

Also, I was using those particular terms in my post there more to create a simple, easy archetype to identify the guy by. If you're an east coast millennial I don't automatically hate you, so don't worry.

edit: oh gently caress you all lol

General rule of thumb is mute 100% of the people you don't know when playing a multiplayer game, and about 85% of the people you know :)

Do note that with the massive rapier pistol shot nerf it's basically only good for having a free strength potion whenever you want it, the pistol shot itself still does dick all.

The pistol shot is insanely bad for trying to snipe stuff at range/use like a gun, but it’s actually quite good close up since it appears to do as much/more damage than a charged stab to a decentish range and it’s often easier to bring to bear (i.e. you can use it on shield dudes you staggered with a heavy blow to good effect). I think it’s a valuable part of his move set if you think of it more like a quick pole arm thrust/lunge whose crits you can control.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong there are plenty of occasions where I've applied a global STFU in whatever game I'm playing. It's one of the fun things I like about Discord. I can just nix game-specific VOIP if I'm squadding up.

That said, next time I fire this up for more than a couple of half-rear end solo Empire in Flames runs for loot to break down for crafting, it'll be all goon, all the time

They've stated repeatedly that they don't plan to wipe progression from this phase unless something critical broke, and as far as I'm aware there haven't been any world-breaking problems like infinite loot dupe glitches or whatever yet, so I'm pretty sure progression is being kept as of this post.

What’s the best melee weapon for Fire Grandma? I have had decent luck with the dagger on Pyromancer cause of the crit boost
Other people have defend the mace and the dagger so I'm gonna make the case for the ordinary sword. It's a nice mix of crowd control and damage. The charged attacks sweep a lotta rats, it's reasonably fast, it does more damage per hit than the fire sword and the third quick attack is a headshot which helps with its weakness against armour. If you're not in a premade group and have to fit in with whatever you find it's a pretty good choice that can cope reasonably well with almost anything (except possibly a bunch of armour, so leave the Stormvermin patrols alone)

I don't mind most pub VOIPs, but I do wish that every game would have a mic level check built in. Having someone mumbling into a tin can is worse than nothing at all.

The crit damage pistol is nice, but i find it's most useful as a free shove imo. You can stagger some pretty big dudes with a shot and open them up for a reliable headshot without having to worry about eating a hit in the meantime.

Not really a bad experience tbh, just weird since we were just playing on veteran :shrug:

People who just mute others by default in multiplayer games are weird, I've run into maybe one or two assholes out of all the people I've played with so far.

Edit: Anyone know if the base stats of a weapon benefits the other weapon you have equipped? Like, does having +crit on your melee give that benefit to your ranged?

Well the number of enemies it hits is constantly changing based on your current combination of power level, difficulty, what you’re hitting and other factors like whether it’s currently staggered, so everything is just all over the loving place now

It used to be bugged where you didn't have to charge it to do a full duration flame, they fixed it with a patch last week.

They fixed a bug with the drake gun and the flamethrower staff where they could always spray for the max possible duration no matter how long you had actually charged them up

Illusions are (were?) broken and not applying properly. They're basically weapon skins that work for each specific weapon type. You extract and apply them with the last two crafting panels.

Is there a bug with BH's crippling strike, or is the tooltip wrong? I was testing it out on a dummy and the tooltip says "Increases the power boost of critical hits by 25%", but crit body shots only go from 1500 to 1525 with my repeater.

A lot of things don't function properly on training dummies right now, that might be yet another.
