Oh drat, this game is actually coming out by late october. I thought it was going to be another Steam Early Access thing, guess I am no longer used to games simply coming out.

We just had an incredibly smooth Black Powder run on Hard despite having two super new dudes, and then the ship bugged out and wouldn't let us end the mission no matter what we tried.

gently caress Black Powder.

And I think we spent more time trying to get ourselves killed than throwing barrels around, and I need to complete it in order to unlock more missions.

WFRP skills are more like specialisations. Checks are always rolling against your stat (Toughness in this case, IIRC), the skills are narrow cases where you get a bonus to the stat for the purpose of checking against it.

Do note that WFRP actually has a subsystem for binge drinking, as characters are expected to get mad drunk, so that is a very important skill to have!

Finally anyone who needs loot should be ashamed, cataclysm with whites from level 0 is how the devs intended it to be played, as we can tell by the existence of cataclysm and the way the End Times officially went.

True, the time where we are all slaughtered in the guard house of Horn of Magnus is exactly the canon result intended by Games Workshop.

Can't wait to see the ancient Warhammer supernerds find every tiny detail that slightly condtradicts some sponsored novel published in 1996 and shriek about it until the wine glasses crack.

I feel if that was going to happen it would already have, since the game contradicts information on the town's size, but who cares because the game is awesome.

I don't even demand the destruction of AoS or anything to do it, I just want the new and pretty good CEO to run it back like "And then Karl Franz woke in a cold sweat, horrified at the future he saw so vividly laid out in his dreams, but resolved more than ever to prevent it" and then production resumes on the setting again.

Creative Assembly is doing Warhammer Fantasy Battles better and more affordably than GW have ever done. Shame about Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay though.

So I cannot find any games at all. I assume I need to get the DLC or something? I've never played before but it looks great and it'd suck if this was just wasted cash.

If you are using the automatic finder you might want the change the range options to world. Depending on where you are there might simply not be any games in the area.

Slayer Bardin with ranged weapon spotted. Maybe he's just limited to short-range weapons like videogame shotguns or throwing axes despite the career description? Maybe it's the early demos not having the character finished. Hope it's the former.

In the one class they've announced for Victor so far, he's still officially a witch hunter even though he's adopted different fighting methods as a response to the events of Vermintide 1. My guess is he'll be a witch hunter no matter what class you pick, it's just a question of the methods he chooses to employ, and I would be astonished if one of those classes wasn't very similar to V1 Saltz.

Every character appears to have a Fallen, Neutral (Vermintide 1) and Righteous version.

Bardin gets Slayer, Veteran Ranger and Ironbreaker.

Sienna gets Unchained, Pyromancer and Battle Wizard.

Kruber gets <unknown>, (very likely) State Trooper and Foot Knight.

Saltzpyre gets Bounty Hunter, (very likely) Witch Hunter and <unknown>.

The Elf gets Khainite Assassin, (very likely) Waystalker and <unknown>. (but probably some high-elf flavoured career)

Closed beta has started. Posted the reddit link because the devs responded to it without sending a black ops team. Like dmboogie I got the invitation in my e-mail. There will be a beta inclusive of pre-orders later. It is also apparently the second wave of beta, so they've been doing it since January.

Pre-order promo runs until March 8th, so that's a decent guess as to release, as the official line is Q1, but might get pushed back like the Jan 25th date.

does this game or the sequel have any healer types

As Kerillian's class skills preview shows, the Handmaiden gets a skill to recover people's stamina and bring them back from a downed without interruptions. One might suppose other characters might have support skills.

You can equip a trinket in 1 that heals people around you when you heal yourself, I guess?

Theoretically it could convert non-piercing damage into piercing damage and just be poorly labelled. So the +10% armor piercing damage on a 0% armor piercing weapon would have 10% of its damage as piercing armor.
