I just got this the other day after reading this thread and I didn't think it was true but holy gently caress it is always the elf who somehow skips the pre-mission cutscene and just runs way the hell out ahead of everyone else, never letting up on that W key ever except to angrily yell at their team for not keeping up while they're waiting to get revived. Why are they like that?

She actually is really good and fun to use. I don't blame people who main her. I kind of want to play her some more, before the inevitable nerf.

It's amazing how lovely a community can be for a casual rat smashing game. It's cool though it didn't take long to be reminded of how poo poo quick play in the first Vermintide was. I did enjoy the assholes suggesting I don't select quick play when I kept getting put into their game (in which they kicked me repeatedly from).Now I could play with goons but they have a habit of demanding voice chat when I just want to listen to my podcasts and kill rats (well at least they use to). RPG mechanics/loot boxes developers stop trying to trick me into playing your game and just make a fun game. Hi I'm Duck and Cover and I like to complain.

The problem with podcasts and stuff while fighting is that Ratfight really requires your ears. I hear most dangerous stuff before I see it, in both games.

Sure and in the original I didn't listen to podcasts. I did however still not need voice because the game has plenty of audio cues. Like I know the hoard is coming and if you're all moving to a wall/building I am capable of realizing that fact. Chat is good and useful but it's simply not necessary.

So this Sienna in our group was fighting a bile troll. She suddenly was "dead" on all our UIs, but still up and fighting, but her body appeared nearby to be rescued. I went and picked her up, and it was a clone who did the same moves, but elsewhere. We got her to move together and fuse, and she started doing double damage, but when she hit 50% charge, she blew up (I assume because the clone was also at 50% and it combined them both). Then she vanished entirely, and we couldn't wipe when we all went down. 10/10

I'm on the fence about picking this up. I loved the original Left 4 Dead but got confused by all the poo poo they put in the sequel. I just started to get back into PC multiplayer gaming with Fortnite. I'm looking for stupid fun but don't want to fall into a pit of ultra dweebs who will poo poo on me because I never played the first one.

Chat is great in a group punching slightly above it's weight. In pubs it basically boils down to either someone screaming, "PACK PACK" or "BEHIND US" (which is great because, newsflash guys, you all sound identical to me and I don't know which voice belongs to which toon), or me sighing heavily.

At this point if you're still on the fence I'd recommend waiting until April to pick it up since the balance is all over and the game is fairly unpolished right now. A big patch can be expected if they don't delay Dedicated Servers and Steam Workshop (they probably will because  )But if you've got friends also playing and think everything is extremely your poo poo as is just buy it, it's super cheap even at full price.

In my experience, as a new player playing mostly quick play, most people don't use mics in recruit/veteran (probably need it for high difficulties tho). Majority of the people just laugh in chat when we die or whatever. Nobody gives a poo poo, it's cool. Also surprisingly, a lot of people actually check the rear/surroundings and will wait for people to catch up.

I've had multiple high level parties insist we skip books and 'speedrun' so they can farm for scrap. Which like, whatever, it's the easiest way to earn scrap right now but it's kind of annoying to the low levels. It is however hilarious watching a level 30 Bardin drakefire hallway hero get packed and die because he wouldn't stop pushing his forehead against the 'W' key for a picosecond.

The Hero Power progression system is kinda cute but also fucks with the gameplay experience a lot. If you're trying to progress your item power, there is one difficulty it is correct for you to play at, even if your characters are wildly different levels. I guess you have some motivation to jump up difficulties earlier than necessary for better XP rewards if you can swing it, but there's still a lot of incentive to play at inappropriate levels of challenge (either being forced to bring characters who won't contribute because recruit chests won't help, or encouraged to bring characters who will faceroll effortlessly because you don't need champ stuff yet and the rewards are more reliable). Hell, even if you ignore all that, a dude pubbing at an appropriate difficulty level on quickplay can't do anything about an overleveled character coming in and steamrolling the map.

Voyager I posted:The Hero Power progression system is kinda cute but also fucks with the gameplay experience a lot. This combos nicely with the problem VT1 had; a lot of people just cap out on the 'medial' difficulty level and never move up to the difficulty they 'should' be at - for a bunch of reasons. Friendly fire and a perception that Champion+ (or Nightmare+ in VT1) is simply 'too hard' are like bricks around the necks of a lot of pubs and they refuse to ever move up difficulties because they might actually lose. So you've got people who refuse to move up to the next difficulty but still want to 'progress' and the only way they can do that is by creating an asston of scrap. At least in VT1 a pubscrub with mostly oranges with like 200+ hours in the game could still play on Hard and potentially roll a good orange if he got a bunch of books. Now there's just no incentive to do that. I mean gently caress it, just give level 30 characters a small chance to improve their HP by opening veteran boxes, problem solved.

They would need to rejigger a few things, but I think difficulty should affect the range around your hero power that items can be unboxed at, rather than having absolute caps. Like, the higher the difficulty, the more likely you are to get big hero power boosts instead of tiny incremental ones. That way people could stay in Veteran forever and still progress to 300, just not as fast as folks in Champion. I like the system overall and my lizard brain gets a thrill out of opening every box, but I realized that I can't get any more upgrades from Recruit and soon I won't get them from Veteran, which is going to suck when I start leveling other characters.

That's a pretty stupid method of going for scrap.

So there's a glitch that insta-kills you if the game thinks you've fallen down a hole or something because of lag? I was rolling through the SpineManglr level and just destroying the hell out of ratties with a full health Kruber. Then out of nowhere I straight up died from nothing.

 1151 rat kills. It seems when you do heroic deeds on the screaming bell that aren't related to hordes the path to the end is a none-stop horde of massive waves of rats where you fight for ground one inch at a time, I want it to be like that every time because it was goddamn epic as gently caress and sold my friend on the game pretty much. I wish I recorded that because it was a amazing finale that started off with killing the rat ogre as it was leaping to me mid-air. Almost every map should have a mad escape to the exit as hordes pour out of every crevice to eat your face, too often the loud epic music drums on as nothing stops you on the 1 minute walk to the end.

I never should have tried Legend. I'm fairly sure this has ruined my ability to have fun with the game. Champion got too easy (on teams where people don't randomly go senile in critical moments), so I spread the word to some friends that I was interested in some Legend runs. Every single run was crippled by some bug or a series of them. Even the sliding enemies and phantom hitboxes aren't a big deal once you get used to them. If you assume the game is just going to be unfair all the time, you always know what's going to happen. Simple. What's not so simple is when my flamestorm hitbox randomly decides to not work even at point blank range, or when my F decides hitboxes are just not going to exist and instead fly around heads pointlessly. Against a special we really needed killed with it. Maybe the Bardin gets randomly shoved through geometry and out of the level! Fun! Maybe the monster will not be able to find the team and lock off the rest of the level? Maybe enemies will start doing damage in the opposite direction of their animations cause the AI swapped targets mid animation, or whatever bollocks causes it. Maybe enemies will just skip their whole animation and glitch in to place to the end of the animation so you get hit instantly. Maybe half your team's abilities decide they just don't work right now. Maybe I press quickswap and it swaps from my ranged weapon to.. my.. ranged weapon? I can't block with this. I even see it do the swap animation and pull out the same one. There's just too many things to name wrong with what went on tonight. Maybe any one of these is not a run ender, but what if multiple happen at once consistently? It's not even the damage output or spawn rates that are difficult. Everyone we put together knew what they were doing. Even if someone did get special snagged, they got freed immediately. The bugs, netcode, and random BS are just not possible to combat at the same time as the increased damage and spawn rates. I am both livid and at a complete loss as for what to do.
