puberty worked me over posted:I have beat each stage about 3 times and am now heavily bored and do not feel switching classes brings anything new to the game. I mean the game is only $30 but I expected to get more than 50 hours out of it. I mean honestly the reason I enjoy the game is the visceral ratfeel of crushing skulls, I'd probably do it for another hundred hours after I maxed out all my classes with perfect gear, gently caress that's what I did in V1. I am sorry if you are not feeling it but if the core gameplay isn't working for you than I get it. EDIT: I guess for me the joy of coming back to the game is perfecting my actual play. In much the same way that some people can play fighting games for hundreds of hours because of microscopic improvements in their play and reaction times, I'll keep crushing rats until my motherboard overheats.

The game definitely needs more goals to strive for. Quests that you advance by gaining experience post-30 and reward you with something you couldn't get elsewhere. Or have sack rats rarely drop a special item that lets you craft something unique.

Coolguye posted:they're kinda between general and emperor but as of this moment cosmetics only really come out of them so they're also kind of their own thing. That's not my experience at all, their rarity values seems more on par with something like Merchant/Soldier with how many greens and blues they give. At least for Chests/Vaults.

I wonder if they will eventually add something similar to Contracts in 1, or at least make Heroic Deeds much more likely to drop cosmetics. And yeah, the staying power of the game for you depends on how much you like the core gameplay and how playing different characters mixes that up, Mendrian comparing it to fighting games is pretty on point. That said, 50 hours is a great amount of time, I think only like 10 of my games on Steam (out of like ~350) are past that. But hey, next month will have a new map DLC, and if it's anything like VT1 only the host needs to own it.

Or do something like Diablo's community tests. Complete Bendybrew Humperdink's stage as only Handmaiden with a specific set of talents/weapons. I think that stuff could be fun or neat and offer a unique challenge

Ugh, finally ran into a "meta" Champion team and it was boring as sin, as well as having me get tagged by friendly fire so drat much because the pubstars can't help but shoot everything, especially whatever target I'm murdering at the moment if they're an elite. Pyro, Waystalker, pistol Ironbreaker. Can't wait for that rebalancing patch.

like have the twist be that he ends up king of high elves as prophesied, because he's the last elf to die bang boom done, dang isn't that ironic and maybe says something evocative about the true value of dumb titles in the face of our inevitable mortality in an uncaring universe

Then Malekith eats a demon and becomes part demon (I guess cuz Games Workshop saw how the ladies get horny for Illidan from Warcraft?) and promptly goes off somewhere to continue porking his mom

Age of sigmar and the end times work on the better parts of what makes warhammer good: and btw it's not the writing - the writing has always been pulpy at best. You sign up to warhams for the races and larger concepts, which age of sigmar and end times play around with a ton. When you get to the nitty gritty of the writing and "why" things happen Fantasy and 40k do not hold up well (and I love both). I mean fantasy has literally places called Nippon and Ind, evil Canada and Tolkien elves, with chaos being almost only 100% Angry white Vikings against 17th century Germans. You could go to town for days on how laughable the setting is, Vermintide works because it does precisely what the end times and AoS is about, throws a bunch of people together in a cool setting and makes fights happen.

Vermintide works because it’s the story of a slow burn romance between a crotchety old man and the cheery young drunkard who glacially warms his bitter heart. Kruber: “Good strike sir, but keep your elbow up - your guard’s open.” Salzpyre: “YOU DARE LECTURE M- ... thank you, Sergeant. I shall consider your advice.” Bonus points: kruber, reviving saltzpyre: “No weakness, please, sir. Not in front of the others.”

fadam posted:So what properties should I be looking for on each equipment slot? I just hit 300 power level and want to roll some dice. Neck: 2 Stamina, +20% health. Charm: +5% atk spd and +20% crit power are the "obvious" choice, but I've also held onto a +10% power vs chaos, +10% power vs. skaven piece that I'm sure I will find a use for. Trinket: Curse resistance, crit chance and movement speed are all good choices. toasterwarrior posted:drat shame how both Kruber and Saltz's 2H swords and Bardin's 2H axe are underpowered at the moment. Wonder if they'll get buffed through range or more cleaving. Axes aren't supposed to have high cleave, because if they did then they'd do everything. The 2H Axe already one-shots Champ Stormies on light attack headshot, what more could you ask of a weapon? On paper I think the 2H swords are great - High DPS, high cleave, good stamina, good push - but Saltz has this incredible melee lineup that gives it no room and Kruber has The Halberd. The 2H sword is also really good at this weirdly specific niche of using its high DPS light attack to chew through the beefy high mass Chaos guys that cause most cleaving attacks to stick but who cares right? Mixed shielders and armor are what gets you. Senethro fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Mar 24, 2018 |

I've actually come around on the executioner's sword for Kruber. Light attacks as merc just melt hordes, and the charge attack one-hits blackrats and appears to do a silly amount of damage to bosses (I think this is a 'feature' of the weapon? Head crits seem really high). I tried 2h sword on the dummy but it looks awful, because it does like sweep sweep head attack, which is a bad thing for hordes. Anyone have experience comparing the two?

Night10194 posted:I'd have been fine with it if the twist was 'yeah he was supposed to be king' and the chaser was 'thank god he wasn't because he's a psychopath and a massive prick'. In a running theme that I have brought up. Once again this is all Teclis's doing. First Teclis helps Malekith murder Finnubar the current elf king. Teclis telling everyone that Malekith is the god chosen king and using magic trickery to get the forces of Caeldor and a bunch of other elves on his and Malekith's side who attack the forces of the Eagle gate from behind allowing Malekith to take it and the inner lands of Ulthuan. Also everything Teclis does do is at the behest of Lilieth the Elven goddess who later reveals she lied to him super hard about what he should do. (The End Times seems to just want to say that the Elven Gods are huge assholes responsible for everything bad. Yet for some reason tries to present them and their chosen Malekith as being in the right when they are not.) MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Mar 24, 2018 |

The 2H Axe already one-shots Champ Stormies on light attack headshot, what more could you ask of a weapon? I mean, so does the 2H hammer. What the 2H axe has is speed, which I feel only really stands out against the hammer in comparison when you stack all the attack speed buffs on it. It feels like it only edges out the hammer in terms of DPS against big targets then. VT1 vets, what made the 2H axe stand out compared to the 2H hammer?
