Lasher posted:Really interested in getting this for the Xbox, but I don't have a microphone and hopefully will never have to speak to anyone ever because I have a voice like a shitted in pair of keks. It's pretty important on the highest difficulties but you can probably clear normal easily and hard as long as you get a mildly intelligent group.

sirtommygunn posted:PSA about the docks map, in the warehouse where you have to throw exploding barrels into the central structure: there is a little ledge made of planks that get you close enough to the center to throw the barrel into the middle spot. If you do not throw it from there, you will miss and make everyone take another minute or so to get another barrel ready. Stop causing me to lose every run because you try the same throw from the side 5 loving times and can't get it through your thick goddam head that it will never work. Do not then call me an idiot and/or rear end in a top hat for coming down to personally throw the barrel in because "that's not how you do this map". always grab a barrel and do that one the instant you get into that warehouse first, while there's still 5 barrels spawning

dogstile posted:I was really, really sad that there isn't actually a bossfight with him. I wanted to smash his face in with a hammer. Even if he was just a normal rat in a fight and it was just you smashing your way through a crowd of rats to get to him and then bonking him on the face (the energy shield he has means you can't shoot him) it'd be more satisfying than "hah, he falls and dies, you win" on the other hand, seeing as skaven are Starscream: The Species and grey seers are The Most Starscream, having him die by falling into a pit offscreen instead of you personally murdering him opens the way for him to return as a character later - either a boss fight or whatever

Coolguye posted:This is from a few pages back but this thread moves quick nowadays. Do note that the decision to nuke Fantasy came shortly after some major court decisions that ruled that GW could not trademark the orcs and elves in Fantasy, as they were altogether too generic and the concepts too disseminated to allow them protections. The alternative would have been to allow potential legal action against pretty much anyone who had elves hanging out in forests in their books. two counterpoints: 1. they still renamed a bunch of factions in 40k to dumb poo poo (i.e. imperial guard to something dumb like "astra militarum") so that they could copyright them 2. sure, they can rename all the factions, but that doesn't mean they also have to nuke the rules and entire setting and replace the rules with a bunch of whose-line-is-it-anyway no-points bullshit system and also literally end the world and replace it with wibbly wobbly nonsense

Fat Samurai posted:Did he literally shot himself in the foot, or is the position of the pistol just an unfortunate coincidence? I'd also mock the 2 pistols 1 hand thing, but the Witch Hunter exists. Carrying multiple one-shot pistols so you could fire multiple times without needing to reload was a real thing real pirates did. I mean, it was usually like three, maybe six tops, not the 64 Victor might be carrying around, but still.

Chomp8645 posted:Holy poo poo I went straight from a white quality handgun on the soldier to an orange "Pfalz Harquebuss" handgun. On the first outing I popped two stormvermin's heads in one shot. It might still one shot them on nightmare... but on that difficulty it'll also oneshot your teammates because nightmare/cata have friendly fire on ranged attacks.

WAY TO GO WAMPA!! posted:I'm having a tough time getting used to two-handed weapons, is it just getting into a rhythm with charge attacks and letting faster melee clean up or is there something I'm missing? I feel totally ineffective out there when I'm actually using the weapon. Use charge attacks liberally, most 2h weapons (particularly the soldier's greathammer) have really amazing sweeping/cleaving attacks as their charge. There is kind of a rhythm - charge a short distance away from group, walk forward into group, release charge, then immediately backdodge to avoid any rats you missed/stormvermin who don't get knocked on their rear end. Repeat as needed. e: And don't do full charges, even a minimally-charged swing will still bowl everything over on its rear end and kill slaves in one or two swings.

I told myself I was fine with any of them but I wanted that legendary guard gear. heroic KB is charged only, but can kill anything (including rat ogres). there's a regular kb that works on regular attacks but it can't kill rat ogres.

Liberal_L33t posted:Regarding the grudge-raker, I think the whole "ranged weapons are for special skaven, melee is for clanrats and hordes" meta is something that the community has imposed by way of groupthink more than an actual intended gameplay dynamic. I've actually had people bitch at me for bringing a (blue!!) grudge-raker on hard even though I'm packing a two-handed warhammer that smashes up stormvermin like nobody's business and wiping out half the skavenslave hordes five-per-shot. Likewise, the witchhunter's dual pistols strike me as an example of a ranged weapon that it's just stupid to "save" for special rats; it seems pretty obvious that the devs intended them to be emptied into onrushing crowds. it probably doesn't help that on nightmare+ firing ranged weapons willy-nilly is dangerous because they have ranged friendly fire

the grudgeraker with reload speed and spread reduction owns because it's still decent at long range as long as you're not trying to get sicknasty esports headshots and it does comparable damage to the handgun to multiple skaven at close range and has a much higher effective rate of fire because every reload is two shots instead of one that one i wouldn't use over another orange with those two mods but 1) it's an orange and gonna own anyway, 2) health on kill + penetration on a shotgun seems like a pretty cool combination

Vargs posted:Spent several hours bashing our heads against nightmare Wheat & Chaff the other day, come back today and we finished first try on an ultra smooth and easy run. Then we proceeded to complete nightmare Well Watch + Supply and Demand first shot as well, no problem. I almost feel like Fatshark secretly made the game 90% easier over the past 24 hours that I haven't touched Vermintide. people play video games worse when they're angry/tired/frustrated this is also why you shouldn't be a dick to people needlessly, because you're just shooting yourself in the foot

grimcreaper posted:Thats actually pretty awesome. Are there any good Skaven story wise? The Stormvermin are my favorite mob from any game ever. If you mean "good" as in terms of morality... not really, they're a race of furry sociopaths with a complete disregard for life. If they do something that has a positive result for the world at large, it's probably by accident - most (in)famously, one of the top Grey Seers, Thanquol, is monstrously unlucky in terms of his schemes going wrong (but he always manages to get away, usually at the expensive of his minions - in the tabletop, he even has a ridiculous ward save that, if it prevents damage, kills another skaven near him) to the point that a Slann mage-priest (aztec toad demigod/priest) had Thanquol at his mercy but let him live because he prophesized that Thanquol being alive would ultimately harm the Skaven way more than him being dead. Someone told me once that they're a race of Starscreams and they're basically right. President Ark fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Nebiros posted:New DLC confirmed. Ratling Guns spun up too long will randomly spin and fire on their own units or explode. (Please do this Fatshark, Skaven are funniest when they're exploding themselves. It's why I played them) i'm pretty sure if a ratling gun fires long enough it will eventually explode, which is a failsafe for if it pins everyone down at the end of a long hallway and everyone's out of ammo

Modi1024 posted:Is that actually a thing in the cannon? Yes. They mostly stick to conventional rats, but hanging out in sewers and so on means they have the most knowledge of the Skaven among imperial citizens (skaven being regarded as a kind of boogeyman)... and, since they were generally weirdos before choosing the profession that involves hanging out in sewers all the time, are usually regarded as nutjobs and all reports of giant rats walking like men written off as conspiracy theories and/or madness. Also canon is that part of their starting equipment in the RPG they were introduced in is "a small, but vicious dog".
