Played the new VT2 map last night, part 1 of "Trail of Treachery", and it's really fun! It's a snowy map and all the rats have snow sorta sticking to their fur so things tend to camouflage. We got our asses kicked at presumably the final part of the map because of a couple particularly lovely special spawns. Cool map though!

DeathSandwich posted:For what it's worth I liked the map a ton. It does some interesting things and it's not terribly annoying for an escort quest. The autonomous sleigh is really funny to me for some reason, like how it just ends up at the right place after we shoved it over a snowy hill.

DeathSandwich posted:The big thing that really helps build cooperation in this game is the coherence system. The best way to get the equivalent of your temp hp back is to be close to your buddies. Every class also comes with passive buffs to allies in coherency, so like the zealot gives damage boost, ogryn damage reduction, ect. It rewards starting near your teammates enough that I was a lot more mindful of where they were and getting with them I do like this system. I'm not sure that the people who are going off on their own will fully understand this system and why it means they should stick with the team but it's definitely something they'll learn quickly! I usually have at least 3 people in my group to play so most of the time we're only matchmaking in a 4th and it's far less of a pain to deal with one rogue person in a group who may or may not cycle out depending on how quickly they die.

Pennsylvanian posted:Still have not beat the new VT2 mission. Every time I play it, people spread out during the cog section then ragequit when they get downed alone in the corner nowhere near the objectives. Yeah we wiped once on the cog section, but it's really not too bad once you know where to look for them to show up. There's just two cogs you have to go bring up to the top and throw onto the place where it wants it (like you throw the barrels to blow up walls). The last area with the torches is really tough though. It's always annoying when the objective is something like "light a fire" and naturally the only valid source of fire comes from the single torch that Olyssia gives you.

ChaseSP posted:The main problem is there's no waymark for the Torch when it's on the ground and so you can easily get it lost somewhere and have people not know where it spawns to pick it back up. Yeah, for sure. I spent so much time walking up to each urn without the torch because the waypoint seemed like it was indicating you had to go to the urn to get the fire. Once we figured out she was throwing a torch in the center it was already too late and we were swarmed.

Ciaphas posted:i liked Vermintide somewhat but the aesthetic was a whiff for me. Darktide looks much more my kinda jam though Performance was pretty bad for a lot of people including myself but I didn't really experience any bugs. I didn't play much more than half a dozen rounds or so though because I had gotten what I wanted out of that beta. They did say that performance should be improved across the board now compared to what we saw in the beta so fingers crossed it'll be better. Check back with us in a couple hours

Internet Explorer posted:milkandcookies has his class guide up. Also heartly lol at that Ogryn grenade box throw at 1:18 Dude poo-poo's Ogryn's grenade box but it does shitloads of damage to bosses with a good hit and can kill/stagger specials. It is definitely a bit mid, it especially sucks that you only have one to use, but chucking it to delete a special with a well placed shot seemed pretty decent to me.

Internet Explorer posted:Yeah, he seems rather down on Ogryn in general, which sucks because I think he was excited about them. He's by far a better player than me, but after spending a good amount of time watching his videos I realize that I play way more aggressive and maybe that will work for me. I dunno. I'm playing with friends who aren't quite as experience at 'tide games, so I'm okay with playing a slightly weaker character with them if that is indeed the case. It didn't seem too bad to me in the beta, like obviously he won't be as survivable as a max level Bardin but it felt alright to me. I'm all in on Ogryn either way

This still doesn't run amazingly on high settings, even with the RT stuff off. It varies a lot depending on how many things are on screen at any given time.

Nehru the Damaja posted:Are there still crashes/disconnects anyone is having or observing others having? I had a great time in the last beta, but my friends were crashing a lot and I don't want to preorder if that's still a problem. It's only been out for ~ an hour mid-day on a thursday, I imagine it's still too early to tell. I've only gotten the tutorial out of the way myself.

Anyone know if it's possible to change stuff like your face or voice after making a character? My dude looks weird in a way that I didn't intend to and think I would prefer a different voice. I can just make a new guy since i'm still so early on but didn't know if something opened up to let you customize that stuff eventually.

After my first real game I think I've upgraded this to "Runs mostly pretty well (for me) as long as you (I) don't use the ray tracing stuff" Also important to note; the ol' Fatshark revive trick is at play in this game too. If you're reviving someone, hold block as you're doing it. It won't look like it but you will be blocking attacks as you revive that person.

Cowcaster posted:didn't they eventually update vermintide 2 where blocking while reviving just was the default behavior? kind of weird that it regressed going to darktide if so Oh that would be funny if so because I just do it instinctually every time I revive someone now.

This poo poo owns. Playing with the whole squad reunited and having a very good time. Ripper gun is amazing for Ogryn. I don't super enjoy the running around scanning things objective though. Once everyone knows what to do and look for it doesn't take too long but it's just kind of annoying.

DeathSandwich posted:Feels like the club got nerfed to be slower though. Shame because it had the best special out of the ogryn weapon. The open palm slap was absolutely hilarious. Ogryn shovel is pretty legit though. Keep in mind there are stat differences on each weapon you buy. I bought a club that had almost no damage on the chart but had better handling/mobility and it made a noticeable difference with how fast you could swing it.

I've heard some really funny exchanges between the characters already and a lot of lol lines from the Ogryn I picked. Definitely not too bummed about missing the U5 after playing some rounds. My friend's Psyker sounds like a special rat from Vermintide which is hilarious.

I haven't played as the Psyker but my friend was and his head popping was extremely helpful. Especially when he would focus on the armored guys that normally take a while to kill. I know I can ignore the blue glowy ones because their heads are about to explode which honestly saves a lot of time during battles.

Randler posted:Does anybody else feel like the gameplay is a noticeable bit slower than during CBT? I do bit mean performance wise but with regard to animation speeds and being able to quickly get in and out of melee without using dodging. I think a lot of this comes down to the variations in stats of the weapon types you're using. Keep an eye out for ones with better handling and I think they swing/block/recover faster but may do less damage. This was never a thing that you had to worry about in Vermintide because there weren't stat variations within the same weapon type but it seems to have a pretty big effect on that stuff in this game. I remember thinking this in the last beta but I played a couple hours of VT2 after that and I think it feels mostly the same, just that the early/starter weapons all feel quite sluggish to throw around. Edit: You can also tell the weapons that have high stamina will lengthen the stamina bar when you equip that weapon, switching back and forth while sprinting will let you see the difference it makes on the stamina bar. I kind of assumed that stat meant it would cost less stamina to use but it looks like it straight up increases the amount of stamina you have. explosivo fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Nov 18, 2022 |

fadam posted:Not unless I can punch guys from the across the room! Huh? Have you tried the rippergun? I can shred groups at range pretty effectively before they close in. I guess I'm still playing on the easy difficulty so it's probably not extremely effective on the harder ones but Ogryn isn't going to be headshotting enemies from far away.

Xun posted:hows the monetization looking? Was thinking about buying in but the dlc with "premium currency" has me a bit worried I don't think they've opened up cosmetics yet but if it's anything like Vermintide 2 there'll be cosmetics that you can buy with money or tokens that can be earned in game and probably also purchased with money.

They're doing twitch drops for Darktide, right now it looks like it's just a lasgun skin. Use the Twitch drops miner to get em idling without having to ever watch a stream! (but you do still obv need a twitch account and to link it and poo poo)

It's awesome how they do the thing in this game that they did in VT1/2 and Turtle Rock forgot to do with Back 4 Blood which is the great sound cues for specials that alert those who are paying attention. I like that the flamer sounds like a gas range starting up. Does the trapper make a sound? I swear that fucker just shows up.

As good as the sound is I think they need clearer visual cues pointing you towards teammates in peril. It's really hard to tell sometimes when a teammate is trapped or is pinned/fell off a ledge. Maybe it's there already and I'm just not seeing it but I feel like when someone got hooked by a hook rat it had UI elements pointing you in that direction if you aren't looking towards them.

If you go over to the psycharium or whatever the hell it's called (where you do the training, it's to the right from spawn) you can choose The Meat Grinder and load into a firing range of sorts with a bunch of dummy enemies to attack. Kind of a nice way to try out your gear and see actual health bars and damage numbers. I just unlocked the Ogryn grenade gauntlet thing, dis gonna be fun

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:It feels pretty bad on maps with lots of blind corners and tight corridors, in L4D you could at least bully the boomers and shove them away before exploding them at a safe distance, I don't think you can do the same here but I haven't tried running towards the bomb man yet. You can shove them but you'll still get hit by the blast. I think it's still better than eating the whole blast though.
