On the off-chance that the DLC adds one ranged weapon and one melee weapon for each character, what would Bardin get for the former? When I think Dorfs I pretty much just think axes and hammers in different configurations.

Guessing only one person needs to own the maps again? If so that's a pretty good deal, assuming the new levels are as long and tough(er) than the base game's. Are the new weapons supposed to be folded into this DLC or are they coming later/separately?

My regrowth trait says 10% but it's not even triggering on 10% of my kills, and I need two hits per rat. I know it only counts once per swing but the math is still looking dodgy knowing that.

Just making sure, you did actually unlock the trait, right?

e: making Saltzpyre literally 10x as powerful as any other character is a change I'd also accept because he's the best

AMA going on right now, one choice quote:

quote:

Hi, we have released a number of patches as well as a couple of DLCs. Some free and 2 paid. All of this is included in the console version now. The paid DLCs release was the Last stand levels and the Drachenfels dungeons. The free ones includes the shrine, new weapons and one last stand level. We are releasing a free DLC i October on PC that will come to consoles later this year. We also have another larger DLC in production that we can release later this year. The basic game had 13 levels. The console game that include DLC levels up until now has 18 levels. Then of course some DLCs has taken much longer to finalize. As an independent developer we underestimated the testing needed to update a game with so many players as Vermintide.

Of course I'll believe it when I see it but I am desperate for more content.

Trying to play on PS4 is a disaster. I rarely find matches, and there doesn't seem to be a single player option like L4D had.

If it's at all like PC, starting a multiplayer game without anyone should fill the missing slots with bots and, if the game's open, other players can join midmatch.

Eh I enjoy it because she's designed to be annoying and awful and the writing revels in how much of an arrogent elf poo poo she is. It's not like we're supposed to think Kerrilian is cool like new Dante or something.
Yeah, it's not like the rest of the party takes it lying down either. They constantly poo poo on her for her bad attitude.

It's been said before, but Fat Shark really needs to add a high-elf character who just thinks of Kerillian as a provincial yokel.

Depending on when you stopped, they've pretty much fixed the loot system and there's rumors that the mythological dorf DLC is coming out soon.

The OP doesn't mention DLC. What DLC /free patch changes have their been?

The loot system has been expanded so that there's more ways to actually get things now, three new missions with another three coming in two weeks, some new weapons, and a wave-based survival mode with one free map and one paid.

As a new player, I'd say a solid 2/3rds of these had me slapping my forehead in amazement that more of these weren't billboarded somewhere very prominent ingame.

The spear seemed fine, moveset seemed kind of similar to a slightly slower WH Rapier and I'll bet it probably gets used in a similar fashion. Repeater crossbow is kind of a headscratcher from a lore perspective, but it would be kind of funny if the big character reveal for this game was that Kerellian was actually a dark elf in disguise (they do that kind of on the regular in lore IIRC, though mostly just dressing up as High Elves rather than Wood Elves) that happened to be in and around Athel Loren for whatever reason when she got whatever that curse that she is alluded to having in the first game.
:lol: I'd love it if Kerillian turned out to be a Naggarondite with a lovely dye job.

I dont know posted:

Also worth noting in the stream someone asked if weapons were sharable between the careers for a given character. The response was generally yes, but not every career uses every weapons. Example given, a shield is not something a slayer would ever use. The implied corollary being that ranger and iron breaker Bardin could both be able to share the same shield/one hander combo.

It occurred to me part of the reason they went the career route for existing characters rather than just adding new characters is the nightmare of writing and recording dialog for 15 people in different permutations of 4 as compared to 5.

Ah, OK, that's a good compromise. I hope Ironbreaker Bardin can throw blasting charges...
