Do the Collector's Edition hats do anything or are they just cosmetic?

I answered my own question. All items in the CE are purely cosmetic.

I bombed an entire troop of stormvermin and the elf told me that I had "Proven my worth today". :3:

Basically you have "real health" normally til you get knocked down. Someone picks you up and you get grey heath that slowly bleeds out until you are healed, at which point it turns to real heath.

So the best is to wait til you drop then immediately heal so that you get the bonus grey health on top of the regular healing

This requires someone to actually pick you up, which isn't always a given when you're playing with pubs.

I really want some kind of IG focused game, just regular troops squaring off against insane cosmic horrors.

I want a GorkaMorka game, just orks racing buggies in the desert so they can bash each other over scrap, so basically a greener version of Mad Max.

So how is is the solo experience in this game?

I remember the solo experience was somewhat terrible in L4D so I fell of it once my friends stopped playing and never returned.

Anyone been playing with randoms and found it tolerable enough? It's the only thing keeping me from not buying it and if it's alright I think I will bite!

Playing with randoms is okay when you consider that the AI director is heartless and will gently caress you over so bad sometimes that even a good group is powerless to stop it, but it would be better if you still got crap tier loot from a wipe.

Well, I would've thought they'd want to create different armies to sell more models, but I guess not.

This way they only have to make one set of models and can still sell all of their paints and stuff. Now they can spend all of their time rolling around in piles of money instead of wasting it making unique models.

When this game drops like 4 Stormvermin, a Globadier, and a Rat-ogre at the same time on you while you're on a tiny staircase you can't even complain about the pubbies for your death. This was on normal.

Even 1 packmaster and 2 gutter runners at once is enough to make you wipe.

If the missions weren't at least a half hour investment I'd be more okay with random acts of fuckery. As it is, having 20 minutes of progress go to waste because you rolled a 1 on the bullshit die is incredibly frustrating to me.

Even winning missions can be a waste if you literally roll a 1 on the bullshit loot dice at the end.

They should add an End Times difficulty where this happens.

The elf would be dead roughly a minute after the map loads.

Curse pubbies. Stealing medicine and ammo when they are almost full, or running off alone and then needing to be rescued.

I keep trying to heal my teammates, but healing myself accidentally. :downs:

Problem is I didn't realize what a fuckpain it'd be to get even whites of different sorts so forex now I'm stuck with a green hagbane shortbow on elf because I melted all my starter whites the moment I got other stuff.

Like, poo poo, I just wanna try some drakefires on the dorf, or the shield and mace on soldier. gently caress.

I accidentally melted my Witch Hunter's crossbow and still haven't found another. Also the only character I have even one blue item for is the Bright Wizard. :suicide:

The best part about this game is playing with pubs on normal and wiping to a single packmaster. :suicide:

I got a trinket after my first game and one after I hit level 15 and my second trinket slot unlocked. :smugdog:

Unfortunately they are for 20% less damage from ratling gunners and 40% larger bomb explosions. :suicide:

Last night I was playing the map where you have to bomb the doom wheels with pubs and I got killed by a rat ogre that spawned at the bottom of the hill just before the last tome at the end. I switched to spectating the dwarf just in time to see the ogre slam him into the hill at just the right angle to make him fly backwards up the entire hill at slightly faster than walking pace. It was about ten seconds of him doing the goofy falling animation as he slowly floated up the hill before landing in a tree at the top. I didn't realize that dwarves could fly.

So to take out orgres range then close in? I getting my rear end kicked doing the Black Powder misison.

Any mission where a Rat Ogre can knock you off a cliff or into water is automatically horseshit.

You smack a rat with a giant hammer and its skull detonates and your brain starts flooding with dopamine and then you think, WOAH

I don't know... It's like whole generations of those things have died at my hands. Mothers, fathers, grandfathers, little baby rats. Sometimes I wonder if our lives are really more valuable than theirs. You know what I mean?

The rats themselves are very happy to murder their own and also generally launch these huge invasions because there are too many rats and they intend to pare down the population through getting a bunch of their own shanked so they don't all resort to cannibalism. More than they usually do.

Oh, Skaven.

I’ve seen it once before in a rat. And I see it now in men. Once one gets a taste for its own kind it can spread through the pack like a wildfire. Mindlessly chomping and biting at their own kind. Nothing but the taste of flesh on their minds. You know the thing about a rat? It’s got no life in its eyes. Black eyes like a doll’s eyes. Don’t seem to be living at all when it comes at you. Until it bites you. And then the eyes roll over white. You don’t hear nothing but the screaming and the hollering…

And what does pooping, or not pooping, have to do with gunpowder?

:science: It's not poop that's important, it's piss. The nitrogen in urine can be used to create potassium nitrate, which is the major component of gunpowder.
