Fuuka Ayase posted:What is the current general opinion on the various elves? There's a current strong opinion that shade is the only real career, but i'm not so sure of that. Just yesterday I hosted a PUB that became a rolling collection of people that joined, died instantly, and quit. In which I effectively did half the map solo because of this till people started sticking around realizing most of the map is already done for them. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to do it on shade. The problem with elves are the players, not the classes. Except the handmaiden bug.

Thanks for Slayer opinions, I know it's good but I was second guessing myself because I've only got one successful legend run and when an (admittedly very bad) pyro says "hey maybe slayer isn't the right choice" I wanted reassurance. I think a lot of the issue is that pubbies I queue into are bad at killing specials. I'm gonna try to get some games with the discord crew and see if it's some obvious stuff I should be doing better.

Recently I have been seeing a lot of people saying they got disconnected from steam drops on wednesdays too though, so maybe something also happens on wednesdays. It’s kind of a big problem with the game’s online service that’s been there ever since the start of vermintide 1.

Saltzpyre and then roleplay as Gomez Addams with whoever is playing Fire Grandma, even if they're a dude, specially if they're a dude.

I'm not "glad" that others have the issue but I'm glad its not just me. I'll soldier through. The game is super fun. I like the look and feel so much, being a long time Warhammer nerd. They did a great of realizing the world I've been imagining in my pea brain for years. I don't think I'll ever make it up to the skill level some of the folks are up to here but I appreciate reading all of the stuff in the thread about what awaits.

One of my friends tried out this game but experienced motion sickness, is there any option that could mitigate that besides Head Bobbing and Camera Shake? Couldn't really find anything else.

I was crap at L4D and Payday and I sucked at this when I started but now Champion runs are second nature. I’d make the jump to Legend but it sounds like that’s what makes people start hating the game. Totally agree about the look and feel, too. I mean, I knew there were skulls on everything but in the past week I’ve really started looking for them and there are skulls on everything

And they're on the pommel. and either side of hilt. And the gems embedded in the sword. They're on my sleeves too, and... etc" Good stuff. Skulls are so key to the Warhammer experience.

edgar_ posted:Glaive shade is great, I hope it sticks around. You can chunk off like 1/3-1/2 of a boss's health in one shot if you nail the timing on everything. Ult is also good for sneaking out of bad spots, and with the talent to shoot without breaking stealth you have freedom to break out of a horde and take down specials. Been good on the few legend runs I've done so far. But I also play with a reliable group. Waystalker can push F to kill a problematic special (or two) or wipe half a patrol without ever having to break stride with the Glaivemower and gets infinite ammo with a very solid ranged weapon so they can freely shoot everything that looks even vaguely dangerous throughout the level. The other classes have things that can recommend them, but I don't think they stack up to that kind of utility. You're a little more vulnerable in melee because you're squishy and don't have any kind of escape mechanic, but with the Glaive being hilariously overtuned that doesn't really matter.

Foehammer posted:Do you guys take ammo regen on the waystalker? Typically yes. Vaul's Quiver by itself is enough to allow you to have functionally unlimited ammo unless you are deliberately going out of your way to waste arrows or you somehow unbound the key to equip your melee weapon, and always having an answer on hand for problematic specials is really valuable.

Conservative shooter is super useful on waystalker as well, combined with the 30% ult cooldown talent. Every time you ult in the direction of a crowd, you get a bunch of ammo back from the headshots.

Foehammer posted:Do you guys take ammo regen on the waystalker? Until they revisit WW's level 15, you'd be a fool to take anything else. It is a class defining ability. They dumpstered longbow's ammo cap, gelded Vaul's regen by half, and its still inarguably in the top 3 best talents in the entire game at any level. WW Vaul's and longbow and a natural bond necklace is what I play when I want to play VT and clear levels but don't want to turn my monitor on.

I think they use vertical FoV so if you usually run like 120° horizontal and set that it will be really gross

I don't think that works or at least it didn't a few patches ago because your ult isn't considered your bow when you shoot it. I tried it with crits and headshots and never got any ammo back but that was almost a month ago.

I run vauls quiver and i don't think i have ever ran out of ammo--if you manage to run out of ammo then you're not using your melee enough.

Are some traits locked out of certain weapon types? Because goddamn I just wasted like 30 red dust trying to get Swift Slaying on a glaive, but kept getting literally everything but that. About half of those rolls was the goddamn useless assist thingy that seems to be literally useless.

As Slayer, you should think about your leap as an attack speed buff and an AoE knockdown: its primary function is to knock down a group of enemies to make space while also turning on your roid rage (and if you have the talent, you can push 100% uptime in fights). The ability to traverse terrain with it should be considered a secondary utility - sometimes it lets you make a clutch play, but its primary function is not to dive piles of enemies.

Getting the now completely useless Heroic Intervention over and over on a weapon is one of the best kick in the nuts Ranald does these days. Besides that slow crawl bar to the emps chest that stops like 3 pixels from completing. And this still a vastly improved loot system over the first game. Idk how they can make such fun gameplay and then just repeatedly nutpunch you on the loot systems but they are Swedish sooooo

For the life of me I can't understand Fatshark business model. They've already sold the game to almost hundred thousand suckers. They have the cash, spending months fixing their garbage pile of a codebase and releasing free content for a thousand autists left doesn't trike me as a good business decision.

It's streaky as hell, yeah, and you gotta approach dust as a volume proposition. Six traits to choose from? Don't even start until you have fifteen to twenty orange in the bank. One more melee/ranged trait to broaden the pool, and disallowing traits to repeat on rerolls would get to the same place of dust as currency and feel so much better. chesnok posted:For the life of me I can't understand Fatshark business model.

Sometimes studios plan to release games after the game the released right now, or maybe even DLC for that current game. These tend to sell better if your current game is in good shape and your players don't hate you.
