DeathSandwich posted:Also kind of bummed that the Psyker basically just has one 'power' set. Part of the appeal of the Vermintide wizard was the variety in powers that aren't really there anymore. It's just popping heads and knockdowns. there's some additional powers tied to the force rod, mind bullets and a targeted AOE explosion

Orv posted:This is admittedly fairly flimsy but given that despite their massive post-launch support for VT2 they never added new heroes - though obviously that would be a phenomenal undertaking - I sort of doubt they’ll do it here. That coupled with them parsing it as “Veteran: Sharpshooter” and “Zealot: Preacher” makes me relatively confident that setup is correct. Just to follow up on this way late but I did some more digging around and it seems like your suspicion was right. They just decided to be confusing and changed the wording to be "archetype: class." So there's still only the archetypes and classes that are in beta at launch but they're adding more classes (ie, subclasses) after and will maybe charge for them who knows

They somehow still haven't hotfixed the #NAME bug on the VT2 chaos wastes maps, and that's been months, I'm fully expecting it to be ridden with bugs on release.

Zephro posted:Since there are a lot of people here who didn't play Vermintide, VT2's launch was pretty rocky. The game was full of bugs, including ones affecting weapon stats and the combat system. It took quite a long time for most of them to be ironed out. Always a bit risky to judge from a beta, but it wouldn't be at all surprising if the release game was pretty buggy as well. Considering it's the same company, you'd hope they'd at least learned something from that.

I was watching some gameplay footage after hearing good things about this game. It seemed to me that the color pallet is very dark on dark on dark in the footage I saw. Does that extend to the whole game? Maybe I just saw some dark level? I will probably pass if the whole game is in various shades of grey. It's just a personal preference, I don't mean to knock it for everyone Soundtrack is banging though.

Space marines are so rare outside of seasoned imperial guard armies, that when they see one for the first time they literally fall to their knees in prayer because to them they’re seeing angels for the first time.

Finally got a chance to try the force staff this morning. It's... interesting. It feels clunky and slow, overlaps in resource use with headpopping, and the fireballs are pretty anemic. And yet... it's a true ranged AoE option, and allows your teammates to hoover up ammo without bothering you. Ammo hasn't been an immense concern so far IME, so that benefit is minor, but having an AoE option at all is a pretty big difference. Is it worth it? Tough to say. I prefer the shotgun, I think. But if it gets buffed in strength before release then it could easily become busted.

Using cover as Ogryn is very hard  And this makes level 3+ missions very hard because getting pinned by a ranged pack is very possible. Also Ogryn has no blue bar easy recovery, unlike Preacher.

Plus some programming.

Char posted:Using cover as Ogryn is very hard I've been using improved toughness regen aura and I feel OK on difficulty 3. Not sure if the aura affects yourself or just your team mates but it should be a big force multiplier if you're sticking with the team. I've gotten a lot better about knowing when to hang back and knowing when to go in, including knowing where I'm going to go to take cover after a charge. Usually there's a wall you can duck behind somewhere if you can't recover your toughness by slashing everything you just got into melee with.

Char posted:Using cover as Ogryn is very hard I've been finding that it's better to play ogryn as minigun class with good AOE melee rather than a berserker like the zealot. the ripper gun can shoot pretty much anything you can see, and ranged enemies will put their heads down even if they aren't killed. let enemies come to you, and use charge as much as a positioning tool as an AOE stun. there's a level 30 feat that makes hitting enemies with your charge refill toughness, but obviously that's no solution for this weekend.

Corbeau posted:Yeah, it felt pretty mediocre to bad as sole psyker but with a second psyker it actually felt pretty great. In my case rolling with a veteran with excellent aim and target priority did the trick. Since there is one less person eating ammo, the rest of the team is able to shoot more which solves a lot of problems.

Is running out of bullets a common problem you're finding? Granted I haven't tried Veteran yet. Also I'm fighting against my VT2 instincts to get stuck in with melee for preference which probably helps conserve ammo.

Usually depends on how trigger happy your squadmates are. There sure are a lot of Veterans around who just love dumping half a dozen shots into each and every poxwalker, and as a result hoover up every last bit of ammo you can find.
