My guess is that it’ll retain so long as the XP curve is working mostly as intended. If it’s designed to require 25 games to hit max level and people are completing it in 6, then expect a wipe.

thebardyspoon posted:I don't really get what advantages the stage/mission rotation system offers to the player right now. They offer a subsection of the total missions in the game with modifiers and stuff, so like right now I just logged on and there were like 10 missions available but those 10 were made up of 4 actual missions the assassinate the guy at the train station one, the assassinate the guy in the enforcer base one, the ammo one and the scanning plague samples one with modifiers, side objectives and difficulty varying among them. I think it’s a mistake for them to split up mission options by difficulty. Most people are only going to be playing one preferred difficulty, eventually 2 difficulties once they feel confident/in a premade team for Heresy/Damnation. That means that for a given difficulty, there’s only going to be 4 (or less!) map options at any given time. If any of those maps have modifiers you want to avoid (like that god awful fog affix, JFC) the options shrink even further. Basically I’m really not looking forward to doing two Quickplay games and frequently getting the same mission twice in a row. I’d rather they list 6+ maps, give half of those maps random modifiers, and allow you to choose any of the 5 difficulties once you select a particular map. It would funnel the population more effectively than the Vermintides while still giving each player more agency. Separately, the automatic countdown on the Ready Up screen needs adjustment. 60 seconds is not always going to be enough time to fill, and I do not consent to playing Heresy difficulty with a level 6 pubbie who joins mid-map. I really think the Ready countdown should only begin once all 4 players are in the lobby. Lower it to 30 seconds or whatever, but the current situation is going to mean people all wait at the chill beginning of a map until they have a viable lineup in-game. At that point it’s just a more limited extension of the lobby.

Drakes posted:it looks like you take health damage even if you have toughness up. Like maybe 1 hp per hit depending on what you're dealing with. A developer on the Fatshark forums actually clarified how incoming melee damage works. A minimum of 10% melee damage will bypass Toughness shield and go directly to health, increasing by the percent of your Toughness missing. So getting hit once by a random mook will do virtually no health damage, while getting hit twice will definitely move the bar since you’d probably be down to 50% Toughness or whatever. This also means that the baseline value of the Zealot’s 90second cheat death effect is kinda suspect. If it activates and saves you from getting splattered that’s great, but you’ll still be left at 1 HP and will go down the next time you get clipped by any random melee. The talent that allows you to heal through damage when the cheat death activates looks a lot more tempting with that in mind.

Re: Eviscerator, Heavy attack -> Light Attack -> Repeat is great for horde clear too. It’s higher DPS than using the Push attack while maintaining the lateral attack pattern, so if you’re in a situation where you can get away with just dodges and mulching to keep you alive then it’s the superior choice.

Proposal: Don’t prioritize achievements and just enjoy the game. I watched some dummy almost wipe us by committing hard to the “go an entire run without using your ranged weapon” zealot achievement on the first day of beta and refuse to shoot a sniper he had a clear angle on. Like, we’re gonna be playing this game for a long while. Do it with friends in 5 minutes once an easy meta method has been established rather than frustrate yourself for hours. It’s just better for everyone.

Draynar posted:The camo talent for Vet is insane. poo poo just ignores you if there is other options basically. Sure, but is that necessarily a good thing? The Veteran has higher Toughness shield than the other classes and good regen talents, so you’re able to absorb ranged fire quite well. If you’re forcing the enemy to focus fire, then you might be getting your teammates killed. fadam posted:What gun are you guys liking on Vet? The recon Lasgun and the first Boltgun you unlock are my faves, but I wish they had scopes lol. The recon lasgun with the slower rate of fire, myself. It has very similar DPS to the faster recon lasgun, but almost identical clip and total ammo capacity. That makes it much more ammo efficient. And the full auto nature means it’s very easy to compensate for incoming suppression sway.

Broken Cog posted:
Assuming it works like Pyromancer Sienna in VT2, each chunk of peril (let’s pretend 15%) will give you a buff stack. So you’ll have 2% bonus crit at 15% peril and 10% bonus crit at 75%+, updating dynamically. One thing that isn’t obvious is that these weapon perks have different quality tiers. So later you might find an orange weapon that grants 3% crit per stack and a red quality weapon with 4% per stack.

Jimbot posted:I changed my mind on the eviscerator and thunder hammer. The later is far better. Its special does just as much damage and can't be interrupted like the former's. The biggest advantage of the Eviscerator is that when you activate its special, it will slice through chaff until it hits a meaty target and only then "bite and chew". Ragers love to mix themselves into a sea of zombies, and any one of those random mooks will immediately consume the hammer energy. Eviscerator doesn't care. If you're using the talent that makes your heavy attacks uninterruptible you'll be able to land the attack and the Rager will be stunned as he's being sawed in half. skaianDestiny posted:Which braced autogun is best for the Zealot? There's like 3 different kinds. IIRC, the Mk 2. It has dramatically better damage and a larger clip.

Internet Explorer posted:Is Quick Play on a map rotation that rotates every hour? So we all get the same map each hour? Seems like a lot of duplicate back to back missions. Not exactly. It's a symptom of the way the random missions are set up right now. You look at the mission screen and you see around a dozen available options, but they're split up across 5 difficulties. So if you're Quickplaying the same difficulty each time (like I imagine 98% of players), you only have 2-3 potential maps you can be dropped into. The game will happily place you into the same map two times in a row, especially if multiple options are the same map with different random modifiers. It's not a great system IMO. I've said it before, but difficulty should be something that the player specifies after they choose the map. Cut the map rotation down to ~6 at a time to compensate so the population doesn't get too diluted. The current phenomenon of getting the same Quickplay map multiple times in a row simply sucks.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Also it would probably help with giving a sense of direction in the world if the big mission menu wasn't pointing to 4 different places for the exact same map, but with modifiers. Yes, agreed. You could make an argument that selecting your own difficulty would diminish the kayfabe of responding to enemy threats, but right now seeing multiple of the same mission up is much worse.

Broken Cog posted:It's not really that they are too hard, but as you reach higher levels they'll become a lot longer. This is the problem. It’s not usually a question of “too hard” rather than “too tedious and arbitrarily makes the game less fun”. Like the “Complete 6 secondary objectives on [particular map]”. First off, doing the same map 6 times when the full game will have 13 is pretty lame. It basically eliminates Quickplay as a preferred play method. Second, getting all 3 scriptures is definitely not always going to happen in pugs, and completing with 2 grims is legitimately difficult the way they’re implemented and reduce wounds. So you’re going to require more than 6 runs on that map, realistically. Running the same map over and over is the opposite of what the game devs should be encouraging. Also, who is averaging 20 minutes per game in 3* Endless Horde pugs? 25+ minutes is the norm I’ve found. That 25 mission weekly adds up to 12 hours, which is a heck of a lot for one character. Compare these to tasks like “Kill 1000 Dregs/Scrabs with Melee/Ranged”, which are trivial. I’d be fine with spending money rerolling, but currently you can only reroll a particular contract task three times. Attempting a fourth time will provide the expected prompts but won’t actually do anything if you click “Accept”. I really hope they change something about these.

big cummers ONLY posted:I named my Ogryn Hasanabi and picked the smallest head I could The Eviscerator is a very strong all around weapon that handles hordes pretty well. Heavy -> Light -> Repeat while dodging is the bread and butter, with judicious use of Heavy -> Push Attack if you get swarmed or you need a second to rev up its Special Action. Special Action Heavy against Ragers and Ogryn, Special Action Light against lone Shotgunners, Gunners, and any Specials who pop up around a corner in melee range. Some of the Zealot Feats compliment the weapon particularly well. Punishment and Rising Conviction offer a ton of bonus stagger and damage once you get a melee rhythm, and Thy Wrath Be Swift means it won't be easily interrupted. I like it a lot.

Nehru the Damaja posted:What's a good melee weapon for Psyker that has a solid side to side heavy attack? I'm feeling the absence of the Power Sword greatly. The Devil’s Claw mk1 has excellent lateral heavies that consistently slash at head level. The base damage is mediocre but it has the Finesse stat, which acts as an additional headshot multiplier. Very good for handling hordes of Groaners, Poxwalkers and melee Scabs, although the melee Dregs wear helmets and are thus resistant. Completely worthless against Carapace, but as a Psycher you have other answers to that.
