They're also doing a free beta this coming Monday to Wednesday that you had to sign up for. I just got a key today, but I have no idea if they're still giving them out.

Just beat the first mission with pubbies, second try. The first time it was just me and the dwarf left (and tbh I don't even know where he'd hosed off to while my buddies were getting killed); I blew open the gate ran through it—and immediately got grabbed by a packmaster and straight up [i]lynched[/]. Dwarf fella finally shows his beard 'round the corner and is swiftly garroted. Fun game.

President Ark posted:So how long are missions in this, and - related - is there any kind of respawning mechanic? I don't look forward to playing this with pubbies if missions are 15+ minutes long and there's no way to get back people who Basically there's a bleedout system, during which time you can be rescued but also attacked by the rats to kill you dead-dead, but you can still be resuscitated at specific points in the map, though I'm not sure whether you'll spawn at full health.

The one thing this game could use is KF2-like dismemberment.

Yeah, this beta's made me way more excited for the game and a $30 launch tag seems more than fair.

I wonder if the next beta will have more/different levels.

I guess the most likely character additions would be a warrior priest and some other type of wizard, right? What about other non-human races? Are elves and dwarves the only ones likely to lend a hand during the ratpocalypse?

Pimpmust posted:I keep saying Snatcher for the Pack Master, Hooker Rat is a coming DLC special enemy () There's also art for the game featuring a Grey Seer, and I think they've already said there are more specials not featured in the beta. Anyway, I just grabbed this game for $20 (USD ) from GMG using the code GMGMID-SEASON-25PERC so anyone wanting to save a few $ might want to pick it up from there.

How does shield-bash aggro work exactly? Does it only affect rats that get hit or is it in an area?

Hypha posted:I was under the impression that the closed beta had a different set of maps. I would not mind if supply and demand was replaced. I really don't mind either way, just thought there was more to see yet, like a forest level or something. Snark is not necessary here, it is enough that this game is good and doing well. To be fair to the devs, while 13 is a decent number of maps, it's not a gigantic one and they've already let people play five of them before release. They might end up shuffling the Screaming Bell and the forest ones back in later on in the week, though. Mordja fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Oct 19, 2015 |

DatonKallandor posted:(because GW literally thinks their target market isn't gamers, but model collectors who buy them for the sake of looking at them) Which is funny, because most of the models I've seen are dull and generic as gently caress. I mean even Space Marines have that whole Gothic/Roman/Crusader look going for them.

I mean, there's nothing stopping you from playing the old game, right? Or has GW actually pulled all of those rulebooks from store shelves?

We will have both free and paid DLCs but we are going to start off by a free one for sure. We will add a lot of different things in DLCs.

Pimpmust posted:Only concern for Vermintide dlc is that the dev is pretty tiny, so the content stream might be slow. Seems like they want to kick things off with a free DLC though, so we'll see. I dunno, 50 people isn't that small and they can always bring on contractors.

Anyone figured out if the Exotics are the same as Uniques in other games, i.e. a weapon that will always have the same types of bonuses?

BombiTheZombie posted:Nope, they are simply stronger weapons with a few unique traits that can be rolled onto it. 15% attack speed and increased push strength are some that ive seen. Well, hopefully they're something that can be added post-launch. I'd really like to see some gear that emphasizes certain playstyles, maybe throw in some penalties for them as well. Like, gimme a bloodstealing shortbow that heals on every hit but drains the user when not actively killing stuff. E: full disclosure, that's really just cause I'd like to see elf players run off and get swarmed on their own again

Keep in mind that weapon balance is almost certain to change, so I'd suggest hanging on to something if it's got good modifiers.

Gestalt Intellect posted:Was just in a public group on hard horn of magnus that made me be a loving sacrifice AGAIN except this time I was kruber with my new green mace and shield and I just lasted by myself with 1/3 of my max health the whole 5 minutes while they hid under the event like babies, all 10-30 levels higher than me. Someday I'll find a group that will actually play the loving game. Me and a buddy were playing our first Nightmare on Horn, with pubbies, three tomes, one grimoire. It was all good until we reached the end and they start talking about who should be the sacrifice in chat. I say "gently caress that" in Skype and jump down, and my friend follows suit, forcing them to all to actually fight the swarm or risk losing those precious books. I plant myself on the stairs and get yelled at to hang back on the beam. The joke of it is that the elevator arrives and I jump directly into it from that balcony while the pubs get tarpitted trying to go after a tome my friend dropped when he died seconds before. They go down, so does the elevator, and I make one mad dash to the carriage, alone. I dunno, I think I got a green or something.

Seriously, it was never even in EA. It had a couple of actual, sign-up required beta tests and a sort of week long pre-order pre-release but that's it.

I hadn't realized there were actually pictures for the DLC weapons. Special mentions go to the Dwarf's shield and great axe.

The dorf's over-under seems popular enough, though. Is it just the extra shot people like or does it actually do more damage, or have more range, or whatever.

Gestalt Intellect posted:I'm glad these red weapons don't all look like they're necessarily the best in class though. If they were all objectively better than oranges, then because they have guaranteed effects everyone would just be running around with the exact same weapons eventually. Although good luck getting one by playing on cataclysm and rolling a 7. Hell I've played for 60 hours and I've still never rolled a 7. Do red items have the same damage increase over the tier below that all other items have?

I play this game exclusively with a single group of friends, so $3 for something we can mapshare sounds more than reasonable. Gonna try the free map first of course to decide if we like the mode.
