I liked L4D and the game looks pretty ok but you can understand my hesitation to care about and/or purchase a Warhammer video game in 2015

i was hesitant at first but i decided to give it a shot since a few rl friends wanted to get it, and it's really surprised me with how good it is

there's almost no story aside from "KILL RATS" so no weird lore bullshit gets in the way of the game, and the combat is really well put together

I've only seen a couple let's plays on yt so far. Why has it taken a developer this long to reskin L4D, add some human addiction mechanics and avoid producing complete garbage as a result? Also, Warhammer is pretty cool and I wish developers would quit making GBS threads all over it.

That was Mordheim, and I accidentally bought in a drunk frenzy the moment I found it on Steam. I think it's in alpha or beta or something.

The bones are definitely interesting but there are terrible issues right now. The worst is the fact that the game makes each enemy AI character do their moves independently, and in real time. So every turn you have to wait like 90+ seconds. And that's even more unbearable at the start of the game because you only see enemy characters if your characters can see them so it's literally just the camera sitting on your guys for 90+ seconds.

Also when I played they didnt have the customization/rpg elements in yet, just the tactical combat engine, which is kind of missing the point of Mordheim.

The loot system and the way it affects how people play just ruins this game.

Everyone just grinds the first level for better gear. It's stupid. They need to overhaul loot system entirely.

What does this mean, everybody just replays the 1st level over and over and ignores the other levels/maps?

I think the devs were talking about that during some live stream a couple of weeks ago, they don't like players only playing magnus over and over

My friends and i play on random because most of the levels are awesome, so if your friends insist on farming one level get new friends

It affects matchmaking too, it's hard to get people for maps that aren't Magnus. If you select the 'Random' option you're almost guaranteed to get Magnus.

Another problem is that not all maps have tomes and grimoires, but if you want good loot you have to get those things.

So it's like, the game is asking you: Do you want to progress, or do you want to have fun? They need to fix it.

What makes the combat better than L4D? it plays almost like a straight reskin of that game, even the monster types are so similar to the different zombies. only thing different is the witch being replaced by patrols that you can usually avoid

and the loot thing is a really stupid gimmick that was either badly designed or just broken. it's not fun

Yeah they do, hopefully they'll do something like add more loot pieces on later levels and maybe even let you keep some if you die

Its fine if you're lust for loot is in check, and decide not to grind like an idiot, its just fun to play and kill tons of rats, especially with the fire wizard and witch hunter, just go full Vegeta on them vermin. If anyone wants to play today, I'm down.
