My personal favorite is when she activates her special and just screams, "LUMBERFOOTS!" Like an angry teenager screaming racial slurs over Xbox Live. And she's so drat happy about it, like she just said something incredibly clever.

It's like she knows how much everyone hates that she says it so often, so of course she shouts it when she fires her ultimate.

When she hits em with the truth arrows, that's great too.

Nah, this is a 141 page thread on a completely unfun game that is a sequel to an amazingly fun rat killing simulator. Only now there's also bloodbowl players in it to kill. So if that sounds fun, I'm sorry because it's not.

Dicking around with a friend and leveling my Sienna so we were playing on recruit + two pubbies.

We get dealt Into The Nest.

Right at the entrance stairway the director throws Plague Monks at us.

At the first large bridge near the grim the director, clearly angry that we got past his Monks decides to squeeze us between a Ratling and Sneak Rat on the side we came through and a Bile Troll + ambush on the other.

Troll knocks everyone off the bridge one by one. It was so harsh it became funny to watch.

I've run veterat games on Into the Nest that were easier than this recruit run.

Somewhat related, is 30 the level cap? Kerillian is my first 30 and the XP bar keeps filling but it's headed straight to.. level 30 again. So I'm guessing, yes?

What do people use for IB. I use axe and shield which is survivable and fun and hilarious for manfighting chaos warriors but I feel like it doesnt kill much or help much on bosses

I'm using Axe and Shield too, mostly because I got a fancy illusion on mine and it looks real baller and because it seems to deal with armored rats and chaos warriors just fine. It's not the best horde killer but the it knocks plenty of mice and men away with the shield shove and has stamina for days so it serves me well for the tank role I'm trying to fill.

I used to use the fireball guns with heat buildup reduction for mobs until I unlocked a flamethrower which does more damage and kind of feels better at melting ratmen and rotmen.

When it comes to bosses I do my part by popping my ultimate, distracting the boss with the level 20 trait that makes them pay attention to you on its activation and walling myself up when I can't dodge out of the way anymore.

I had a wonderful experience yesterday that began as a terrible experience.

I QP into a Champ game of Against the Grain. At the beginning of the level, the handmaiden writes "Dont die" in chat, and has nearly run out of frame by the time I can see our characters. I quickly mash F2 to catch up to him, but this elf is absolutely TEARING rear end through the cornfield already. We tried our very best to keep up but we could not outspeed the mobs (and he could). He leaves the rest of us with a horde and many specials to deal with as he bolts over the wall, through the barn and out into the orchard. We complained as we were torn apart, and i almost left then. But I clearly had so much to learn from this speedrunning elf, who was whirling around, weaving back-and-side dodges like i've never seen before. I was glued to my screen.

At one point the elf catches up to me tied up in the orchard, starts picking me up, and dashes away, leaving a humongous horde in his wake which crushed me unceremoniously almost the instant I awoke. I could only laugh and keep watching. Hunter Kruber, meanwhile, had just gone rogue, stealthing himself away from everyone and somehow keeping himself alive through force of will (and purple drink) alone.

The handmaiden caught up to me again behind the barn, rezzed me, and this time I did my best to emulate his backdodge dance. I managed to dance my way over to the caravan and res saltzpyre before the horde (and patrol and rat ogre) overcame us. The elf laughed and continued on into the farm.

The third time he picked me up I managed to actually keep up with him until the end of the level (and went back for kruber, who had by this time made it to the sawmill). He was clearly impressed by our plucky spirit or somesuch, because he invited Kruber and I to Legend, where he spent the next few rounds teaching us how to speedrun. I didn't get any reds, but I had a blast and learned a lot. It's funny how life can surprise you.

My personal highlight of the evening was dodging seven consecutive leech attacks as I barreled through the orchard as fast as my runty little dwarf legs would carry me

Good times

This strikes me as an utterly unfun and contemptuous way to play, but pass on what you learned here.

How does one become the absolute worst teammate in a champion and legend game possible?

AndyElusive
Jan 7, 2007

I thought the AI director actively tries to gently caress you if you attempt to speedrun and not try to gently caress the players being left in the dust.

Also, how does a speedrunner even succeed? Do they just get to the portal bubble and wait until everyone else dies?

poo poo should fail if you don't get all four out like the PVE event in Overwatch fails everyone if even one of you doesn't get to the drop ship at the end.

Is there anything I need to know about jumping up to Legend difficulty? I'm playing as Kruber. I'm finding Champion not to be too difficult anymore, although I can still die in it from getting poked too much or not reading a stormvermin/mauler attack and getting half my health chunked away.

You must have Ronalds blessing to be graced with such consistently competent pubbies in Champion games. Half the difficulty is working with 3 total strangers with FF on in the midst of a post patch ranged meta while simultaneously contending with speed and grim runners. That or you probably have a good mice-stomping posse.

I think i'm going to wait for the improved bot mod before i try to level up my other chars because veteran just sucks too much with pubs. Legit, a lv30, lv20, lv19 and me lv17 on against the grain. I join right at the first tome and luckily grab it thinking huh odd they completely passed it up. I ask if they wanna grab the first grim or fight the boss, someone responds fight the boss so we fight the boss. I ping the tome then tell them i'm grabbing the windmill grim to which they all stop climbing the ladder in the barn and ask what a grim is hahaha. I show them where all the tomes and grims are then explain that they give better loot at the end of the level.

They were all down to get the grims/tomes so it wasn't that they knew about them and didn't want to get them they just literally didn't even know about them.

30 entire levels and not once did that guy wonder what those books were at the reward screen. Not even once.

It's very satisfying on veteran to charge up your heat buildup reduction drakefire thrower when you hear a horde coming and just melt an entire wave of raki and umgi while your hp bar maxes out from temp health.

On champion it's nearly impossible because everyone clamors to get infront of you.
