Did they remove the stat screen from the end of runs or something? I wasn't in the beta.

I was annoyed by no scoreboard but after playing vermintide 2 for a while I get it, seeing the Legolas player ace every run gets old

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

When someone is chasing green circles to the detriment of the team, i will frequently forget to watch their back for them. Enjoy eating damage from the mobs you left behind! The other players are not here just to clean up stragglers while you get alpha strike on every single ambient spawn.

I'm totally onboard with them removing the stats screen. Overall, it's a detriment to the game.

The best use of the score screen in Vermintide 2 is to call any Grail Knights that managed to get a ranged kill unchivalrous.

Stats can be fun to look at and sometimes informative for self improvement but they can absolutely encourage toxicity and can undervalue some meaningful contributions, such as CCing everything with a shield in VT1 which makes the team win but doesn’t make you a personal top scorer on any of the kill stats

If I designed it I would include total stats for the entire match and show you your own breakdown of them, but not show everyone’s individual breakdowns together. that would let you gauge how effective your setup was empirically and let you feel good if you got more than 25% of kills or whatever, but not turn coop matches into a unspoken competition

That world trailer was really good. I loved the design of the Navigator. Maybe the Imperial Navy should invest in better shielding than some slat blinds.

A friend of mine just came back to Vermintide 2 and is crashing on loading the Keep. Is this a known/solveable issue?

They use a thing called a gellar field generator to keep the daemons out. But the armored slats are because if the shield fails the armor can hold the baddies off a few seconds longer until the field can hopefully re-establish.

Yeah traveling without your Gellar Field on is like sticking your hand into a blender. Just think it's funny that the secondary armor shakes like that, because your ship is basically turned into a haunted house during Warp translation.

The only thing I like about the stats screen is rubbing the fact that I lead the team in kills, damage, and revives to the idiots on my teams calling us garbage because they kept going down to plague monks.

I liked comparing my own stats to previous averages. I wouldn't mind a personal stats screen at least.

Also, how was the Lights Out mode? Did anyone give that a shot? I thought it'd be super dark like Vermintide 2 but some videos I've watched make it seem a lot more reasonable and very atmospheric.

It might depend on your settings for that. The one I got to play was basically pitch black except for emergency lights and weapon flashlights.

Yeah, spawn makes sense because it's largely unchanged from the WHFB version.

Wonder if we're going to get some other large lads as mini-bosses. Maybe a non-named version of the bubble assassination target? Beast of Nurgle too, potentially. Maybe a rotfly?

Purportedly a Beast of Nurgle and Daemonhost have audio files in the beta client but who knows how legit that is. It'd make plenty of sense.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

I'm pretty optimistic despite the voice acting that the story will be good, Dan Abnett is a pretty incredible writer so I think he will make something good of the plot overall.

Wait Abnett is writing this? As in Dan “I wrote basically 95% of the top books in WH40K lore” Abnett?

Rad as hell.

nope. it has some great detailed environments but the gameplay just isn't good for a number of reasons and a lot of the presentation still feels highly unfinished. I would legitimately have a higher opinion of it overall if the game was just walking around the maps and looking at them with no enemies.

They're mostly not a thing, AFAIK? At least, not a thing that has been definitively laid out in canon or forms that would tie into a game like this.

Interesting. With no lore explanation as to why they don't exist? If I remember correctly, space Orks are basically mushrooms, so there's no men or women, but they actually took the time to explain it. As a Warhammer lore newbie.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was something along the lines of 'no one who isn't an ogryn can really tell, and who's going to ask?' Plus no one generally gives a poo poo at this point in 40k lore development, the only serious sexism that seems to exist in the setting is imperial marines not being female and getting made fun of by Fabius Bile about it
