Metos posted:I just did a Hard Horn 1grimoire where someone dropped the grimoire right at the end before the lift like an idiot but I still somehow rolled all successes and got this: I got a flame sword last night (finally), but the lack of headshots is noticeable. I've been using the standard white bright wizard sword up until now - dodging into packs with a charged swing at head level and backing out. The flame swords don't have that headshot and It's pretty noticeable. The one you got is pretty drat good. Beam staff primary is so nice, the alternate attack is ehh. It takes so long even with headshots to down specials compared to a headshot shot from anyone else. At least it stuns em, I guess?

Robzilla posted:You know, after finally getting a flaming sword I gotta say I'm not that impressed with it's sweap. I prefer the starting type sword for the BW since the sweep is larger to hit more rats. Second. I miss the headshots you get with the normal sword while sweeping at headheight as well. Then again, it's a flaming sword.

Is it me, or did they add like a second or so 'stun' when you get hit now? If you're moving and/or turning the camera and you get hit, it just locks your camera for a second and stops your movement and attacks/block attempts.

PSA: Always check behind you. Like, make a habit of it. Too many goons I've grouped with just like sprint ahead and ignore anything that's past. This isn't L4D - those 2 - 3 random clanrats chasing us WILL stab you in the butt at the worst time, or make the guy at the back of the group lose health dealing with it. Always be checkin your butts and killing rats that chase.

terrorist ambulance posted:Shotgun does one shot things in nightmare. So does other weapons (ie: good two handers for WH or soldier). Conflag does knock things back and set them on fire, but I don't really feel like it does enough for the amount of heat it generates. Especially given that it requires you to stand there winding up to aim your right click, which is an excellent way to lose all your health to getting stabbed in the rear end the entire game You can still dodge around while winding up conflag/fireball.

Death by Chickens posted:I like the elf's dual swords more than the sword + dagger combo. With dual swords I can normal attack constantly while dodging from side to side and kill hordes while taking minimal / no damage. With the + dagger I find that the last attack in the combo that stabs the dagger forward just completely ruins my timing and causes me to almost always get poked. Do the charge attack that's the diagonal one (which is actually pretty great vs hordes), dodge back, move forward and repeat. Alternatively, block for like half a second after the diagonal charge attack hits and it'll reset. I lucked out and got a really decent orange sword & dagger set on the elf and I love it. The normal attacks have fairly wide sweeps as well.

Protip: If you ever get a 'fatal error' popup during Enemy below - do not click ok. I was able to play fine with the error up - and if you click ok it instantly boots you out of the game. So, click OK in a safe spot or not at all? I don't know what the effect on the actual end of the mission is.

Tai posted:How forgiving is this game in the graphics department? Just wondering if the minimum requirements of the geforce 460 is set in stone or if lowering the graphics would allow my 260 to run it. It is mostly very CPU heavy although the last patch has fixed that a bit. I'm on a 670 and can run things on medium/mixed high at 60fps with dips when the cpu can't cope with the shitton of rats. A 260 is probably gonna have a bad time unless you have a decent CPU to go with it, even on lowest settings.

Arcsquad12 posted:I wish that engines of war had a better finale. The Inn is just piss easy to defend. Go into the basement and rats can only attack from two narrow chokepoints. Go upstairs and their pathing breaks so badly that they forget they can climb walls through gaping holes in the building. The basement has a little hole in the ground in the back now where occasionally some rats clamber up from now. It's still just 2 major chokepoints, but you gotta check your butt occasionally now too.

Skandranon posted:It almost certainly isn't, as has been discussed here before, the roll actually takes place as soon as the mission registers as successful. You can see this when you roll your first 7, you will get the Steam Achievement for it as soon as the map ends, and upon rolling your dice, you will of course get 7. As to why you had to re-roll, that is a mystery. Like But not Tonight said, trait rolls are done completely clientside and are very much manipulable.

Chomp8645 posted:Hey elf can be good it's just that you have know what you're doing and play smart and most people don't. Elf is actually really good if you dont try to pretend to be Legolas lite. Her spam melee with a good Sword & Dagger is amazing for clearing out trash, and the charge attacks with S&D are also good at clearing trash (1st charge especially) or dealing with stormvermin people can't snipe. I have an orange trueflight and I think 90% of my time is spent meleeing. Clear out trash from around people who can snipe; use trueflight if no/little trash around to get specials or clear rats. But I'm gonna agree, among goons the worst players have been dwarves or soldiers - not elves.

Chomp8645 posted:Bad soldiers make me upset because I'm a really good soldier and I don't like thinking "if I don't play the soldier myself we are going to die". I think most of the bad soldiers/dwarves are actually because they think they're being good by sniping specials - which is great - but the bad ones ignore the situation around. If your'e a Shield & whatever soldier/dwarf don't ignore the 15 rats around to try and snipe a special and then call bullshit as you get hit. Obviously situational, but I see too many of them just pull out the handgun and then get stabbed 4 times just to try and snipe a globadier which is way behind and not yet a threat. You can still snipe em just take like 10 seconds to clear this trash first, drat.

Whoever jumps in right now: It's not the ogre that kills you, its the rats he spawns and/or show up while dealing with him, especially on nightmare+. This is really not a difficult concept; whoever has aggro kites him around preferrably relatively close to people, the other 3 clear rats, deal with specials that show up and only once those two jobs are done stab/shoot the ogre. You can also pick up downed people the ogre is beating on without getting knocked back, and you should - just make sure the ogre isn't aggro on you. E: Also if the ogre is aggroed on you, if you have full stamina you can block the actual attack and negate any damage - he'll still knock you back though. The slam attack also can't be blocked.

No. 6 posted:That is weird. Right now this is all I can see after the Vermintide logo Like Coolguye said, this is somehow unique to you. I'm assuming you've tried reinstalling/Verifying cache just to make sure. Also I remember an issue about Steam names with strange characters? So if youre one of those, try renaming yourself to something that just has standard ASCII characters. Neo_Crimson posted:I want to pick this game up but I heard that it's pretty buggy (A.I. director is hosed, netcode isn't great etc.) AI director can sometimes really want your group dead when it spawns a special "gently caress you" combo of specials, but other than that I wouldn't say it's an issue. Netcode has never been an issue for me as a EU playing mostly on games hosted by American people - you just have to be aware of the latency t hat exists whenever you are not the host, regardless of his location, in that you can't be as ballsy with blocks and dodges. If anything my issue recomending this game to people would be its heavy CPU depency, although that's been somewhat resolved in one of these last patches. If you don't have a decent cpu (and that is generous - I'm on an i5 2500K at 4ghz, which is a 5 year old CPU and I run good on medium settings), regardless of your graphics card, you will have a bad time. On the flipside, turning down CPU heavy options like physics debris and some particular graphics options doesn't really have a big effect on how t he game looks but generally has a big performance increase. But then there's always those situations where youre in a horde spawn and there's 60+ rats, and that'll take a toll on your system, regardless of settings.

Turns out, if you keep block up when you hit E to revive someone - it'll actually keep blocking during the entire revive animation. The only thing that'll interrupt you is specials. I fully expect them to patch that out at some point though.

It's really easy to get to - in the same room as the first tome, just perched on the top of the doorframe behind you as you come in the room. A pubby showed me where the second one is - run to the left once you enter the big courtyard, there's a crate half-sunk into the ground at a slant. Jump up on it and run up the slant, which directs you straight to a series of jumps onto various rubbish then onto a little ledge sticking out of the surrounding buildings. Follow the ledge around the left side of the courtyard, jumping from ledge to ledge, until you drop down onto a tiny platform which has the grimoire on it. You don't even need to do all those stupid jumps, you can just run to the side where the actual grimoire is and grab it while just jumping up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwTIcIMn8Q

Practially nobody plays normal because the difficulty:reward doesnt matter until you at least play hard. But, you really should try and play a game on normal, even if it's all bots just to get your bearings. Then move to hard. Plenty of pubbie groups playing hard.

Gasrats are probably the hardest to reliably headshot because a) they really love to shuffle, 2) their hitbox is really weird.
