Being one short of getting your first legendary item really sucks after getting both grimoires and all 3 tomes. Man, Sword/Shield + Handgun is an amazing loadout for Kruber. Sword/Shield makes short work of even huge hordes focusing on you, and the Handgun one-shots basically any special. Dezztroy fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Oct 7, 2015 |

I wasn't sure on the game before playing the beta, but it really sold me. Shame there's no 4-pack though.

I like Lady Legolas as well. Her dual swords are really good, as is the longbow. Poison arrows seem okay? Not as good against Stormvermin but it's nice to be able to kill gunners and such while being in cover. Also she and fake Gimli have a LotR reference in their banter.

Have they said if the pre-order beta is just going to be the full game? I hope so, since there won't be a wipe after it.

Trinkets are going to make the biggest difference when it comes to loot, I believe. In the beta I got a fish that gave me a 40% chance to not consume healing items upon use. Getting 3 uses out of a single medkit is kind of a huge deal.

Beta is currently up, I'm guessing they're testing the new patch they just put up. Some changes include: You can now select your upload speed when hosting. Setting to enable dodging when moving forward diagonally. VoIP! Push to talk is default, thankfully.

Skandranon posted:Well, game starts up, but didn't get any players joining, so it's either not really running, or no one else is running it. Going to try soloing Horn of Magnus, which is the only available map at the moment. It's working fine, I've played a couple full games. You start with a healing potion on normal now, which makes things way easier. They also changed traits a little. Berserking for example now says it has a 5-12% c Another thing: They must have realized that people were just farming Man the Ramparts because it was easy even on harder difficulties. It's now possible for there to be a squad of Stormvermin guarding the entrance to the tower and there are also two guarding each anchor.

I feel like they should make the Rat Ogre drop a loot die or something, because right now the Rat Ogre is just a random "gently caress you". I do like random gently caress yous in games, but getting some reward for making it through the mission after killing what is the game's boss enemy would be nice.

New missions are pretty fun! One of them ends with a L4D2 style scavenger hunt. Also, man, getting the "max targets hit" animation with a charged greatsword swing is the best feeling. So many limbs go flying.

The loot has to be rigged. The vast majority of the stuff I'm getting is for the dwarf. I've gotten like 10 different hammers.

Having Steam crap out when you're minutes away from finishing a mission on Nightmare is the worst.

Magni posted:The soldier can equal him with the shield and sword combo. Suffers a bit against stormvermin, though. That's what the Handgun is for! Really, Sword & Shield + Handgun is an extremely effective combo.

My favorite is when pubbies rush to the guardhouse without checking any of the loot spawns. And then they all die because no one decided to pick up the three medkits you marked and pointed out in chat repeatedly.

Beta has been delayed by 6 hours. It will also only be 3 maps, they haven't said if it will be the same 3 we had in the last beta or not.

Note that cursed dice, tomes and grimoires do not give you extra dice, but rather upgrade one of the 7 you get.

Hard isn't much harder than Normal as long as everyone has gotten used to the combat. Blocking is required on Hard to avoid wasting huge amounts of health. I wish people would catch on to healing potions being much more effective if used right after being revived, since it turns your temporary health into permanent health. Meaning you end up with almost full health.

Demiurge4 posted:What's the trick to taking down rat ogres though? Bombs are a huge help, especially the normal (and improved) ones which stun him for a while. Other than that, just keep hitting him. Make sure to block every attack you can, and don't get too close to him or he'll hit you with his ground smash which you can only partially block.

Waywatchers that only use their bow are bad players. Same with Wizards that only use their staff.

If you ever needed another reason to not play with pubbies, they've started kicking people at the end of missions.Tokubetsu posted:When you're killing trash with one hit kills and do great AoE why wouldn't you use the staff 85% of the time? I only switch off when I'm in overcharge and theres still too many dudes on screen. Which usually means its a horde and I can safely chokepoint murder with heavy sword swings. I'm talking about people who continue using the staff despite being on the verge of exploding because "But the Wizard is a ranged class!"

Pubbies are generally so bad that it's actually easier to do Hard with bots. Did Horn of Magnus with one grimoire and only bots, went just fine. Try that with pubbies and you'll wipe before reaching the rooftops.

2H axes and hammers play differently than swords, mostly due to axes and hammers focusing on high, single target damage as opposed to the greatsword's sweeping horizontal swings.

Do we know what causes the loot table to sometimes improve, seemingly at random? I've had Hard runs where there are two possible oranges instead of one, for example.

Fans posted:Since it took me forever to work it out, here's how the Bright Wizard works. Mostly correct. The cutoff is nowhere near 50%, more like 25. Your passive cooling also slows down when you're above it, not the other way around. Regarding things that proc on hit, does each enemy hit from a single swing count as a separate hit?

Fans posted:Bash doesn't work on the Packrat itself though. In fact does it work on any special? Even the Stormvermin shrug it off. The bash as in shield charge attack doesn't stagger specials. Pushing with a shield does however stagger everything man-sized such as Stormvermin and Ratling Gunners.
