Finally got an orange 2h hammer to play with on Bardin. I hadn't had one of any color before and had been using Axe/Shield for a long while. Not sure how I feel about it. I dig the basic strike for one-shotting clan rats and coming down vertically. The charged swings control a ton of space but they're so slow it feels like you need to be able to rely on your team to not be complete dunderheads. Doubly so since you don't have the extra block available for picking up said dunderheads. More and more I feel like I'm splitting characters into separate loadouts based on how much I can trust the team around me.

Oh I know about that stuff. I've got my nightmare clears and a few catas. But the charge time is a far cry from the rapid-fire shield pops I love to death with Kruber.

Oh, well maybe two handers just aren't your bag then. Obviously none of them are gonna be as fast as poppin rats in the face with your shield, their big draw is just bashing up a whole bunch of rats in one swing.

I can't use any of the two-handers because I'm bad but I really hate weapons where if I mistime a swing every rat in the zip code has a free shot at stabbing my face.

Man, Vermintide's over here making me look like an rear end in a top hat. I get jumped by an assassin while holding the grim, go down, and the rest of the team doesn't get to me in time, so I die. The game crashes 2 seconds later. I was hosting.

Just played horn of magnus on Nightmare and the game spawned a loving STORMVERMIN SQUAD during the top of the tower event. Things were going fine until we heard the audio clip when you aggro a squad played and a blob of them ran out of the wall on the stairs. Immediately jobbed our elf and wizard. The soldier and I managed to kill all of them but then we got wrecked by a gunner/gasrat combo that spawned way in the back.

I found these on the official Steam Community, but that was about the only thing I didn't   regret seeing in there. I'm glad that there is a universal understanding that Kerillian is a tosser and elf players are too by extension. I find her incredibly fun and the most relaxed to play, but that my only incentives are even killier bows than her already preposterous trueflight (I only have blue) and a series of hideous Lucha Libre masks basically guarantees that my Vermindiet™ is four parts Kruber to every one part Sienna.

Just started playing and am lvl ten and I spent like two hours trying to pass wizard tower on normal with pubbies. What the gently caress. Last game we were almost there with our last surviving ward when the map spawned a globadeer above the wall where we couldn't get at him and then we got swarmed by a million rats including stormvermin. The two games before we got wiped by an unavoidable stormvermin partols.

Today's been a weird day in Vermintide. It's like they doubled the spawn rate for specials or something. We ran into a really similar situation in Wizard's Tower on Nightmare. The game just threw an unbelievable number of rats at us. Nearly all the other matches I played today went similarly badly, with specials relentlessly spawning in duplicate or triplicate. I don't normally see four packmasters in under a minute.

Yeah, I noticed something similar when I was playing earlier, we kept seeing gutter-runner after gutter-runner after gutter-runner, just one would spawn right after the other, and the other specials seemed to be spawning with heightened regularity as well. I wrote it off as just a consequence of playing on higher difficulties but I dunno.

Trip report - played this a few times over the weekend - pubbies are definitely getting better. The game has been out long enough that the people who play for a few hours and move on are mostly gone, and the game is now in a sweet spot where the people who are left are generally speaking competent. I played three Nightmare runs with a full group of pubbies, and we completed all three without much stupidity and with no arguing. (I mean, people got hooked, knocked down, etc., but that just the game - no one decided to be a solo warrior and run off somewhere random, etc.) So I give it another month before this turns over into the game being played only by bitter rear end in a top hat type people who have made it their lifestyle choice, such that you cannot join a public game without being yelled at for every small thing you do "wrong."

After over 100 hours with roughly half spent in public games, I've run into a group like this maybe 1 time, and I'm just saying 1 to be safe because I don't actually remember ever running into a group like that.

I did have a really dumb game once in Hard where one dude accidentally dropped the grim, and the host got into this long-rear end rant about how you need to be serious cuz it's like... Hard, man, and noobs should go back to Normal. I was only even playing Hard at the time because there were no Nightmare games running at the time and I didn't want to wait around for a group. Hard is pretty relaxed overall, and I don't really see the point in worrying about whether or not you get a Perfect Run. Other than that, people have been pretty nice, aside from getting a little snippy when someone grenades the entire team.

I try to be very encouraging to pubs rather than the easy misanthropic path, but there's limits. When the level 12 (actually 6, I guess) elf medpacked himself at 45 hp while I was white from Roger, then proceeded to argue that it clearly was the right move, it was time to nope out. I think the player base will stay inviting, it's only NM and Cataclysm that require spergy planning and trinket abuse.

I get yelled at sometimes for "wasting" my bomb but that's about it. I like to lob one to clear a horde that is pressing in a little too tight and apparently it is a sin to use it on anything other than Roger or a patrol.

I think they've started adding stormvermin to horde ambushes. Also some globadiers have started going berserk and rapid fire their bombs when someone gets too close. Also a stormvermin squad now spawns in the Magnus inn on Nightmare and they ALWAYS get stuck on a doorway so you can't proceed without fighting them.

It's random but yeah that happens occasionally. My favorite is when the Ogre never spawns on Nightmare. Because gently caress you for trying to prepare for it. Also they just patched the game and apparently fixed the bug with shield power attacks not connecting when you've got a speed up effect. Definitely eager to try them out again with Swift Slaying

Even Nightmare you can pretty much fart your way through do long as people have half decent gear and know what they're doing. Self heal goes a long way toward forgiving all but the truly boneheaded mistakes.

I have three questions before I grab this: How satisfying is the melee combat? Like how meaty are the hits of the bigger weapons. How would you rate the last stand mode? As someone who has way too many hours into the dawn of war 2 one. How's the goon community in this(especially EU), because gently caress pubbies.

It's not out yet, so no one actually know what it will be like. Goon community is a little sparse at the moment, most of us got pulled into playing other games, but will probably come back when the DLC comes out.
