So, tried the new game mode. First area, the floor didn't load, and I fell into the abyss, so good job there. Everything else ran smoothly aside from disconnect and a reset. I hope they add some Nuffle areas.

I pretty much immediately maxed it out when I started the game and saw it recommended by some streamers and just kind of acclimated to it. I wonder if it's like a motion sickness thing?

Ciaphas posted:btw who the gently caress is dawri It’s one of many Bardin-isms you’ll hear a lot— it’s what he uses to refer to the other Ubersreik Five when not using their specific nicknames he has for them. Basically from Khazalid (dwarven) it translates to “someone almost as good as a dwarf”.

aw, that's sweet  one thing i've always wished for more of in fight-y games is the option to use a bo staff. Not a glaive, halberd, whatever else; just a real big fuckin wood stick with which to whap rats upside the chin. i hope sienna or someone can do that here

Ciaphas posted:aw, that's sweet Bardin really is the best. He really genuinely seems to care about the others. Even the elf. Somehow. Sienna has staves but they’re all off the shoots-magic kind. The closest to a whapping stick is either Bardin or Kruber’s two-handed hammers.

Turin Turambar posted:LOL you nerds. Are you solving equations to play optimally? Normally I do solve equations, I'm not a clueless CASUAL, but I still use the weapon exchange altar. It's a good way to try out new things. For example, I thought that all Greatswords were garbage, but I found out that the elf's Greatsword is actually...pretty good? Mulches hordes, only downside is it's kind of awkward against armor unless you're good at getting headshots. Ciaphas posted:so as a feckless idiot newbie to this game who's otherwise familiar with team based games like this (don't run off, don't waste heals, The big thing is, don't run off like an idiot, try to stay close to the rest of your team. Learn how to tag enemies, turn it into an automatic habit, and tag whatever you can (though always prioritize specials). It can easily save a run. Otherwise heal, or give health potions to, team members when they need it. Remember that if both of you have a 'skull' (= going to 0 health immediately kills you instead of just downing you), you can get rid of both skulls by medpack-healing the other teammate that has one. Block, block, block. It should become second nature to hold block when you're out in the open and still getting your bearings, rounding a corner, or any such situation. Move up to at least Champion whenever you have the levels for it, most of the players on Recruit and Veteran are clueless and you won't be learning much. Give a shout if you'd like a list of recommended mods that will immediately make you more competent as a player. Ciaphas posted:Video I was watching said FF in melee never exists (mostly), just ranged, but it's an old video; is that still true? Yes. Your weapons also never get blocked by supposedly solid objects; use this to your advantage. For example, if your teammates are hitting enemies coming through a doorway, you can stand off to the side (out of the way) and still help out by killing them through the wall.

Get the Player List Plus mod and press tab  https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1455893647 It only works with teammates that also have the mod, but really, everyone should have this mod. There's no excuse.

If the host has the DLC you can play on the maps just fine, but you can’t get the weapons as drops/craft them unless you personally own the DLC.

You only keep up to 200 coins though between runs, Ive seen a lot of pubbies floating 1400+ and still make the <300pts guy buy the healing miracle. I guess its still the first few times for most people that are playing it.Ciaphas posted:Penny for your thoughts on worthwhile DLC? The classes seem neat but boy the reviews're heavily mixed Engineer is a lot of fun, so is Grail knight. However: Grail knight cosmetics can be a giant pain in the rear end to get (Riposte a monster 3 times as grail knight for the one and only red illusion?), Engineer's are a lot easier to come by. Bogenhafen is worth it for the quests and cosmetics, the maps aren't great. Return to ubersreik doesn't add much outside of the maps, iirc? Probably not great value without the Vermintide 1 nostalgia. Winds of Magic if you really, really want the weapons. Weaves are not worth it, and you're stuck with beastmen in the Wastes whether you have the DLC or not. Fishstick fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Apr 24, 2021 |

lots and lots of clientside crashes today. Game kept kicking me and telling me to verify my install. Very annoying stuff. I can handle bugs in a single player game but when you're playing with friends its intolerable. First run to the citadel, got to the citadel, lots of bosses killed, lots of curses navigated loads of xp for my elf. CTD'ing 1/3 loads between areas.

The skull means "character was already downed, next down = dead" Its also called "a wound". You clear it with pots and kits.

I guess technically it's dlc but it's free so you just have to update your game. The paid stuff are cosmetics and a weapon pack.

I dont think i have any mods loaded, since im only playing official realm and mods only work in modded? I dont know, i took a long break around WoM release before returning round about outcast engineer, i dont see the mod manager like back then so i think any mods i ever could have used should be gone. i dont see anything in settings or options ither though.

The marble herons discord server has about eight folks who’ve been playing regularly so I wanted to throw the server invite to this thread. We have a tag for the game to help with LFG- just ask for help adding it if you can’t figure it out. No judgement on your skill level at this game, all welcome. https://discord.gg/jaBYA7yF

I haven't played as much as most of you people, none of my characters reached level 30, more around level 25, a pair were at level 18 (that said, I rotated between all, I don't have any main). So I was playing Veteran, but I think I'm going to have to try Champion because my last two games were lost because some level 1-5 players that didn't take the medicine I pinged three times :/.

Sigh. I like the concept, I liked the implementation of the roguelike aspects, but I don't think the duration of the chaos waste games is goood for a game with this netcode. After 40 minutes playing without issue, I just disconnected from the host and the migration failed. 40 minutes wasted. I received 0 exp for the levels played, as you don’t get it until the match end, and it returned me to the main menu with 0 currency.
