I really like how the Skaven aren't just zombies with a different coat of paint. Having Slave Rats run off when alone and duck in a shadow hoping you don't see them so they can shiv you in the back or seeing them get others to attack it you is pretty neat as well as the Skaven setting up ambushes. Also this beta build they've really made the Gutter Runner not want to be seen. If you fire at him in the distance he'll run off instead of just pouncing blindly like a Hunter in L4D and if you don't kill him after knocking him off someone he'll toss a smokebomb and vanish before making another strikePierson posted:Can anyone talk about the loot they got for winning? Is it all just straight up plus-or-minus stats in there or can it change the way a character plays. Different weapons change playstyles then the abilities you unlock in the forge on weapons give bonuses. Blocking might recover your stamina, killing enemies might give health etc. Here is a good list on the official fourms of all the traits people have found so far

And grinding just doesn't make sense anyway. Its not like payday 2 where you were getting money and skills to unlock and you know what you'd be getting for sure. If you grind in this game it's for a random weapon for a random class at a random level. You'd basically be grinding to get weapons to grind with and with no idea if this grind session would be worth it over actually playing the game on a different level

Skandranon posted:I find the rat ogre to be harder than the tank in L4D, for a few reasons. One, everyone had equal range opportunities in L4D, so it was easy to have 3 people laying down fire on the tank while one person ran around, whereas with the rat ogre almost everyone has to get in melee to do significant damage. Two, the molotov was almost meant for bringing down the tank, so you just needed to set it on fire and dodge for a bit. Three, there seems to be a much higher chance of getting rat ogre + specials/ambush at the same time, vs getting tank + specials/ambush in L4D. The rat ogre also changes targets. A NPC tank in L4D would stick to one target unless another player basically rubbed their face against it by hitting it with a melee weapon. Rat Ogres seem all too happy to go after someone else in range once it whaps someone away. If one person is kiting it while someone at range blasts away at it it'll also leap towards the other person instead so you have to be prepared to move and block which most players aren't Dr. VooDoo fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Oct 13, 2015 |

They have seem to have the Skaven increased their non-mob states too. Just cleared out a small wave of them and the last one looked at us and turned tail running for another group which was pretty awesome. Typically before this patch they'd only do that if they were found alone for the first time never pulling a "gently caress this" after their fellows were killed

So I've heard rumblings that the Dwarf has like a secret ability to his shield shove that causes what amounts to a taunt for rats hit? Is that true? He does seem like the tank class

I really like Stormvermin. It actually makes you learn their cool melee system and dodge system to do well. Of course most pubbies still treat this like L4D and just mash attack over and over no matter what they face but you get the few who you can see blocking, dodging, and aiming power strikes at the head and neck The melee combat feels great too. Once you get blocking and dodging down there's a great flow to combat with even Slaverats. Anyone know if the beta will run off an installation of the full game or still the closed beta client?

Yeah a lot of players treat this game like L4D so far. Run as fast as you can to the exit and just mash fire over and over with melee. You can squeak (heh rat joke) out a win in easy like that but if you don't learn blocking, dodging, and timing heavy attacks you're gonna be hosed on anything harder

All progress from this beta will carry as long as there isn't some massive technical bug where they have to rest to fix it I'm hoping they'll do Skaven playable DLC cause Skavens helping man-things to beat other Skavens is completely true to Skaven nature. Skaven are the best

Donnerberg posted:I tried the Empire guy with a sword and board. The combat feels loose on first impression. Like a slash just kind of hits everything on screen with a very forgiving range, and the push seems to go way out. Is it like Chivarly where you do more damage based on where within your swing the hit connects? That's because you're using the shield and sword. You have a really wide range because you are basically being a tank. You're damage is meh but you hit and bash in a wide arc to get a lot of Skaven attention and your block has a lot of stamina to handle all the heat your being on yourself. Also depending on where your arc is and a rats location will depend if you hit them. Some weapons swing out from the shoulders so rats right against you on your side will get hit but then as you swing your arc will reach a lot further in front if you. Also if a Stormvermin is in a group of clan or slave rats their armor will stop your arc from continuing as you swing so keep an eye out for that One last Stormvermin note is that they can shove just like you. When they do you get shoved back slightly but it'll also interrupt an attack or a block. If you're facing two at once it's not uncommon for one to do a big wind up attack and the other to shove you to break your block as it's about to go off. Or shove you into a group of clan rats Dr. VooDoo fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Oct 17, 2015 |

Witch Hunter and the elf feel like high damage classes for single targets. They can put the hurt on Stormvermin and ogres pretty hard. For a L4D comparison they're the sniper rifles compared to the shotguns

Games smashing it right now on Steam that's pretty awesome! Though a lot of people need to unlearn poo poo they've learned from other horde games like Killing Floor and L4D cause I'm seeing a lot of people face tanking Stormvermin and just mash attack while they get pummeled

You can let it go for a smaller effect. If you let the entire animation play through it'll be bigger/stronger

Yeah getting downed even on normal can really easily cause a cascade of death for your team. It's not like L4D where the zombies stick to the down person. Just one or two clam rats can take out a player then suddenly the ten rats they'd normally handle pile on other players and that can overwhelm people really fast. If Youre in the red and you think an ambush or event is coming you should heal. Also if you a couple rats eyeing you but cowering back kill those ficked cause the minute the see your back they charge at you

Drythe posted:They count any video game revenue as accidental. They don't believe video games get people interested in their table top product which is where they make their money. They also don't believe in market research and that they set the market. Example of GW being dumb: everyone like the setting and characters of Vermintide?

I think ambushes have set points instead of randomly happening like a hoard. Just blew up the gate in the tower map and my friend noticed a lot of Skaven seemingly lining up in the roof tops above the path way to the staircase that leads to the tavern. He says that might be an ambush and I say those are random like hoardes. He fires his crossbow and takes one out and as soon as it happens an ambush starts and they all start jumping off the roofs for us. I've also noticed some rats backing off around a corner and when a player rounds them there's a group waiting and as soon as you round the bend an ambush starts. Anyone knows how ambushes start?

Snatch Duster posted:Apparently there is a pacing director. However, I think there might be set points and the director spawns some hordes if the group takes too long or is moving too quickly. ^^I suppose so but it played the ambush scream when it happened so that's why I was wondering ^^ I get that but I didn't know if the Skaven phdtically set up for an ambush or if it's just a sound que that spawns a hoard instantly. It ałways seems like for ambushes there's a pre-existing group for it but that might just be confirmation bias

The issue I have with the BP exploit isn't that people are grinding out high level loot. That's fine personally I think it takes away from the fun but it's a personal thing. The issue I have is that now all these pubbies who only know how to exploit that one thing have really high levels like they've been playing through the game at higher difficulties but when they join anything over normal they completely fall apart. Levels you could use to gauge someone before a match started if they had ever done high difficulties but now you have to wait to see if they're a massive gently caress up in game which is a waste of everyone's time involved
