I really just want a DLC character with some polearms. Though I guess since they're doing new weapon types for existing characters first, it's probably likely Kruber will get a halberd. (correct me if wrong but the Empire is big on halberds, right?)

Also an Orc mercenary would be fantastic but not possible due to there already being a dwarf in the party.

Finally get my third orange at level 40. It's a Sword & Shield with extra stamina, stronger push and heroic instakill on charge attacks.

Sigmar has blessed me.

Welp, Enemy Below has 4 tomes for some reason, but if you finish with both grims, 4 tomes and 2 loot dice the game crashes.

Too bad mace & shield is objectively inferor to sword & shield. :colbert:

I have finished that before with multiple goons multiple and we only had one multiple-crash today/yesterday at the black powder part. Also it has 3/2. Dunno what you guys encountered.

I do believe that there's a possible crash due to a physics miscalculation on levels with gunpowder placement.



It did count all 4 tomes at the end but crashed when it got to the cursed dice. I still got the loot though. We did it a few more times and the fourth tome was always there.

So they had that huge fantasy world setup, with tons of fluff, and then decided to gently caress it all in the hope that Sigmarines sell better ?

Well, Fantasy wasn't making them any money so they decided to make a pay-to-win tabletop game in the form of Age of Sigmar, presumably hoping for whales to buy absolutely ridiculous armies.

It's really weird to me when reviews complain about the game being L4D but not as good and then proceed to list problems that L4D also had (in many cases they were worse in L4D).

Also when reviews complain about the game being too easy when they don't play past Normal difficulty. Reviewers, I don't get them. :shrug:

Strength potion-ed bombs do a hell of a lot of damage to the rat ogre, especially if they're improved bombs. Other than that, just get your blocking and dodging down and you won't take any damage unless he corners you.

Also burning tanks to death was one of the dumbest things about L4D so I'm glad they didn't take that!

How bad should I feel that I"m level 24 and don't have a trinket and have never even come close. Like whenever I wizard's tower with two grimiores, three tomes, and a handful of cursed die there are no trinkets even on the board and whenever I roll seven naked die, trinkets are the top three options just to rub it in.

In the closed betas I only got a single trinket. Now I have close to 20 of them, most of them green :v:

It must be bugged then because I've definitely experienced mismatches (like being Kruber and seeing the whole world on fire).

e: Actually I'm pretty sure you're wrong anyway because the different illusions are not the same geographically. It wouldn't work. People would be walking on air or into invisible walls from other player's perspectives.

What you're saying is incorrect. Each player sees something different and that is why it's such a cool level. All the illusions have the same geometry. Where Kruber sees a house, Kerillian sees a large rock.

If I can get 60-70 fps running L4D2 with all settings maxed out (resolution 1920×1080) on my laptop, will I be able to run this on medium high with the same resolution?

And my wireless isn't the greatest, Chivalry basically requires me to plug in the old cat6 just so I when I see my sword hit something it actually hits something. How is the netcode and is there any fancy stuff going on with the melee that would make hit detection worse?

If 60-70 is the highest you can get and not just what it's capped at, then no, you probably won't get a good framerate at medium high settings. The game is very heavy on the CPU.

Network wise, I believe all your own hits are clientside while the enemy hits may be serverside? I'm not sure, I just know that blocking is not as reliable with high latency. It's certainly still playable at ~200 ping.

Is that why they are so many Stormvermin there and the map is effectively unbeatable on anything other than normal?

Its difficulty is overtuned (according to devs) but it's far from unbeatable on Hard, even with pubbies. Just need to make sure you've got enough people with weapons suited for stormvermin. Having a greathammer or two is a huge help. Also make sure to always keep moving, only stop to heal because the rats never stop coming.

Doing Black Powder now is horrible. Pubbies can't deal with it without exploiting.

Also they moved one of the barrel spawns so it takes a little longer to do.

The default bow seems alright? Plenty of ammo for chewing through trash while somewhat accurate with zoom-in for wearing down specials.

It doesn't one-shot clanrats on hard (unless you get a higher rarity one) and it's not armor-piercing which makes it really bad in general because it doesn't clean up mobs or kill specials.

Is it just me or does the Witch Hunter's axe block slower then the rapier?

Also my friend tells me the WH's "Best in Slots" are crossbows and a 2-handed sword; but personal preference still matters obviously.

Are there just examples of weapon types for classes that are just better then other options?

Your friend is wrong. A good set of pistols is better than any crossbow for most situations. Rapier is also fantastic, 1h axe isn't bad either.

Really, the only truly bad weapons in the game are the repeater pistol and both types of swift bows.

So what's up win the dwarf hammer and shield? It says it isn't armor piercing with normal attacks but you'll kill a stormvermin faster with the head taps then with the "armor penetrating" sheild smash.

Shield bashes do low damage and are meant to keep a large group of rats at bay while still doing some damage and not taking stamina. If you get the timing down you're basically invincible and can easily take on entire hordes by yourself.

That raises a good question; how damaging are bombs to teammates on the higher difficulties? They can be great for saving someone getting overwhelmed on Hard or below, but I always hesitate on Nightmare.

Improved bombs with a strength potion can kill your teammates from full health, IIRC (unfortunately I've only tried this one). Firebombs do a decent bit of damage also, but the bigger issue is their burn DoT which makes using ranged weapons impossible for a bit.

Unless you're running 2 grims, a regular bomb shouldn't be a big deal.

It depends.

I mean, presuming it reduces damage (as opposed to negating it altogether), how much does it reduce it? 25% is likely completely forgettable, but 50%+ could be nice. And how long does it last? If it lasts 5 seconds, that's great. If it lasts 1 second, it's forgettable.

I don't feel like we know enough about that trait to judge it too much right now.

It blocks 100% of the next attack. Don't know about duration.

The only ranged weapon I can see them ever adding for Kruber is a grenade launcher as seen in Total Warhammer, other than that I don't know what they could do for him. The only melee idea would of course be a polearm of some sort.

Halberd and a regular old spear are weapons that sill need adding. It's really weird they decided to give him a falchion before a halberd, one of the most iconic Empire weapons.
