I thought I was the only one who had the temple of Sigmar part turn into Quake 3 graphics mode. I finally took screenshots last night to explain to my friends and they all laughed at me cos it looks normal to them.

So here's something real dumb.

For the fastest exp in the game by far, just die as quickly as possible on recruit.

1) Pick a class with a dash (Slayer, Foot Knight, Handmaiden, Zealot, Battle Wizard)
2) Choose Hunger in the Dark on Recruit
3) Wait for your ult to charge
4) Dash off the cliff right at the start
5) Collect 100xp

It takes me 1:20 to do this from keep to keep, factoring in the loading screens.

A full tome + grim completion on recruit is 660 exp, and takes on average 20 minutes. Just jumping off the cliff for 20 minutes will net you about 1500 exp. Even though Champ has a 150% exp modifier, you get less for dying.

As others say, the most important stat at the end of the match is finishing it. Even if you're not taking chunks out of the boss, keeping the hordes busy so your damage dealer team mates can is contributing for sure!

Okay I think I got the hang of this game where do I go to get fancy fire-hats for Sienna

You're not going to be killing poo poo dead near as readily in champion and being able to control swarms becomes much more valuable. The Warhammer can do some work and it's by no means a bad choice, but utilizing the shield blocks and shoves to control a hallway while the elf of bounty hunter cleans up is a perfectly viable option too.

If you're going at it looking for the most green circles at the end of the map, you're doing it wrong. It's entirely possible to be the MVP of a match without being Slaughterlord McKillsalot by virtue of being able to keep the situation under control, which doesn't necessarily mean killing all the mans.

Usually there is a direct correlation between the person who got the most kills/did the most damage and also who took the most damage because they put themselves out of position to get kills and get punished for it.

Seriously. If I asked my groups "so who's playing the dedicated controller" before starting a champ run I'd be laughed at and rightfully told to just go kill the loving rats

All the arguing back and forth about needing a dude with a shield, shield being useless compared to 2h, etc., tells me is that the melee weapons for Bardin are balanced.

At this point I'm just going to recommend people not open their valuable boxes (general-emperor champion chests, anything legend) until later in the future. I'm pretty sure Fatshark has the drop rates of anything unique (reds and headgear) rigged to non-existence to tire out anyone trying to cheat and gain stuff faster because I've opened 50 Legend Boxes now (12 emperor's, most generals) and got no reds and in 100s of boxes from champion and commendation no headgear even. I've only gotten 3 reds, charm, necklace, and longbow. You can get your oranges through anything else, even crafting.

Also don't trust that Reddit link about the drop rates of reds. It's totally wrong, and the file used as a source is just a messy thing left after they server sided the loot stuff.

Some good news for Fatshark. They got their targeted lifetime sales for Vermintide 2 on the first week.

Mystic Mongol posted:

Games Workshop may be a poo poo miniatures company, but they aggressively license out their IP to all kinds of interesting ventures, big and small, and tend to reward successful video games by giving the company broader access to their catalog. At this point, Fatshark can basically add anything they want to Vermintide.

Zealot is pretty close, they're just lacking some hammers.

Its got too much of the crazed flagellant look to really be the Warrior Priest. One thing they could do that I don't think anyone's really talked about is more careers, though. New characters would take a ton of voice-work and poo poo, but adding a new career wouldn't. A tank/support cross would be fun.

I was dumb and stopped equipping upgrades once I had all orange items.

Salvaged everything else.

Now I'm level 28 wearing Level 110 stuff and statistically not really contributing much.

I'm so dumb.

Got a cosmetic helmet for Sienna. First I've seen of any cosmetic, really.

Node posted:

Has anybody done the maths on the chance of getting cosmetics? Or do we just not know at all

Lunethex posted:

Somebody who I know for a fact was cheating (because I played with him) says he opened 600 Emperor's Vaults and got 19 reds. Which puts it at 3% or less chance to get one from the highest quality loot box. No headgears either.

The chances are absolutely abysmal.

Ravenfood posted:

Also, because from what I remember, the Empire is fundamentally winning against external Chaos sources. They progress technologically. They started fighting back against these hellvikings as essentially tribals with spears, and now they've got handguns, cannon, and halberdiers. They've got steam-powered tanks. They've got magitech sniper emplacements and mages that punch far above their weight. They may be on the verge of an industrial revolution. Its refreshing to see a setting that actually references technological progress instead of settling into a Tolkien-esque stagnation, even if it doesn't show it within the frame of the setting itself.

I just found a mask for the Shade, which unfortunately I never play

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.

Can I get that on each non-weapon piece?

Lunethex posted:

It's time dependent. I don't know where you're located but the prime time gaming hour is about 4-5 hours from now and you'd maybe be able to find some others depending on your location. Most people playing Legend are doing so in their personal groups and crews, which I can't blame considering the aptitude of the general player and how the runs have to be totally perfect to pull through and most people can't maintain that level of focus.

Goddamn, got some baller illusions for Executioner's Sword tonight, but can I give up that hammer and halberd life to use them? Game refuses to give me any cool pokepole or ratbooper skins.

Digirat posted:

i'm in the "fix the loving director" camp because probably two thirds of the difficulty of any given mission currently just comes down to RNG and it's loving stupid that you can add +/- 2 to whatever difficulty you're playing on based on that

like in spite of half of this game currently being broken I still manage to really enjoy it most of the time, but it is only going to take a streak of games with garbage spawns to make me put it on hold because they ruin my enjoyment of it faster than anything when they happen

Slaanesh is the fault of Elves. Like a lot of other really bad things.

Champ is for playing the class you want, how you want
Legend is for choosing the best class at a role and doing your job
