Another healing legendary, game is pigeonholing me   DEFINITELY AN EXPLOIT Summary: run the first story mission on gold, or at least silver to perform glitch launch by yourself, no matchmaking fail mission reward menu shows nothing, check gear menu, reward still received e: this can be done even faster by just holding down as soon as you spawn, walking you out of bounds and killing your character in 10 seconds. you can then just hit square to repeat the mission. this can be physically automated if you have a way to prop your control stick down and a weight on the square button.

i have been enjoying new game+ so far but after a couple of survival rounds i havent found myself wanting to go back to legend mode. i had fun but found the experience a bit limited and also wish there were matches shorter than 20-30 minutes. i havent really dug into story missions except for the introductory one. the classes arent nearly as different as they seem to imply in the tutorial i love my sparkly new blue kensei armor

I enjoy the gameplay but I agree, I wish the rounds were shorter. I haven't even tried gold survival yet, silver takes up to 40 minutes!

in the single player mode i really enjoy taking my time with fights, singling out enemies one by one and actually dueling them but thats so far theres no gameplay like that in survival you are just endlessly chopping up hordes of zombies and demons which is just not my thing. maybe i'll try being mainly an archer for variety however that first story mission i did showed some promise in that you could at least approach the situation in a few different ways, be stealthy, etc

Playing survival with pubbies can be frustrating. STOP RUNNING TO THE ENEMY SPAWN POINTS just wait for them to come to the circle so you can reposition to the other two when the next waves hit! Also DO THE loving BONUS OBJECTIVES HALF OF THEM AREN'T EVEN HARD

Sometimes you get something like "get headshots" and I have my bomb bag on instead of a bow. Or whenever "get drop assassinations" comes up I can't manage to pull them off before the enemy is alerted to my presence. Sometimes I don't notice the bonus objective is active until it's too late.

I just wish they scaled up to 4 players instead of being 2 player only.

They’re always on the 2nd wave after the start/boss: 2/7/12/17. I do admit you get no real indication of when they start and the text is easy to miss if you’re focused on the game itself.

Earwicker, i think what you're looking for can be found better in the story missions, which tend to be a bit slower. and with a good buddy who's on the same page as you, you can approach them more tactfully i personally really love the survival missions cuz, while mindless, you gotta give them your whole attention and they can get pretty frantic. they are...a tiny bit too long though, i agree. like 55min for a gold. but i don't know how to shorten them cuz that would gently caress with the whole grind progression and i feel like their difficulty is already pretty well balanced if you're going into level appropriate challenges

You should be able to pick 10/15/20 waves on either difficulty and just add/subtract a reward. So you get the full 6-7 items for a full 20 wave run or just 4 10 wave run which would put it right around the same time as a fast co-op clear? Gold could just skip the earlier waves and jump right to bunch of onis and bears. Speaking of bears I jumped into a silver mission this morning and got hit with the bear modifiers. My partner for it rage quit after his 2nd death to them. They’re brutal even if you’re over leveled.

I tried both the nigtmare story and survival missions for a few hours, man they feel nearly impossible without good teammates, especially survival where someone trying to be a hero runs off to defend against crazy Onis by himself at a point.

Some of the most fun I've had in gold survival is rushing to a point about to be captured then just standing in the middle of it parrying and staying alive until my team arrives.

On my Samurai I will pop Ult to kill a single bear without a single moment of hesitation, gently caress those things. Although I do think they are especially weak to fire.

I could have sworn one of the merchants had an armor dye that looked like it had weed leaves all over it (it's probably japanese maple, which looks a little similar) but now I can't find it, does anyone know what I'm talking about and where I can get it?

Somehow finished a nightmare survival and story mission with randos, I felt pretty terrible in the survival but the two ronins were super clutch with their revives at critical moments and we were able to grind away, it's nearly impossible to hold every point towards the end because the enemies have so much health to wittle away.

i've done like ten silver survivals and all the missions and haven't gotten a single legendary  still not over the threshold for gold at 78 but maybe i should just go for it. really, all i want is a fuckin all stances sword. moon/water seems like generally the best because i can reliably parry sword and spear guys but everything would be a lot easier if i could just break their block

There's a couple of cool cosmetics tied to some tough challenges for nightmare: There's one for completing it with 0 downs and another for doing all the objectives (oni, scroll, curse). Those should be fun to try for this weekend with goons.

Frog Act posted:i've done like ten silver survivals and all the missions and haven't gotten a single legendary I've run the exploit for probably...1500 items or so at this point? I have five different legendary katanas, I think I ended up with 3 or 4 all stance katanas. You might not get the one you want even if you roll a legendary katana. Good news is that it seems the katanas drop for every class. I'm probably going to let my PS4 chill out for a bit today then run another overnight session on hunter to get the bow, then I'll still play a shitload just to level up all the classes if nothing else. Also, if you didn't hear it from reddit already, the resource bottleneck for rerolling items is Honor (the middle resource), don't spend it until you hit max level (105?) if you care about item level capping before rerolling your items for modifiers you want. Even with the shameless amount of item farming I've been doing I'm still out of honor points just from trying to roll good properties.

Just picked this up with a friend and tossed a few PSN Invites out. If you got a friend request from Waroduce thats me. will be looking for some games this week/weekend, pretty excited after perusing the last few pages. I was eyeing this game and waiting for co-op as i don't like playing single player so i'll be looking to get frisky. Any good youtube guides for newbies or general orientation? I watched a couple gameplay videos, it seems pretty fun and the Vermintide scene is dead e: also any discord since the new PS parties make it really difficult to link up?

Waroduce posted:Any good youtube guides for newbies or general orientation? I watched a couple gameplay videos, it seems pretty fun and the Vermintide scene is dead The game forces you into a tutorial for each class before you can do anything else so it should be pretty good for getting you oriented. You can only select one class to begin with but you'll unlock everything else as you rank your characters up so just pick whatever you think is coolest. My survival tips: USE BARRELS. I see so many pubs just standing around between waves when they could be activating their special senses to see nearby barrels and bring them to a control point. If you detonate the barrel it'll do a lot of damage and set everything around it on fire. I've been using fire arrows to set them off, not sure if regular arrows work. I should try that. Ammo resupply points also give you back a little bit of health. Useful if you just want to top off and not spend a whole healing drum. Healing drums do a huge burst heal when they're activated, the following healing aura pales in comparison to the amount of health healed by the activation burst. Personal preference on ghost weapons so far: I think smoke bomb is too all around useful to pass up, specialized builds notwithstanding. It will guarantee you are able to resurrect someone, or you can get 3 assassination stabs out of it. Very long cooldown at 120 seconds but hopefully you'll get one with cooldown reduction / cooldown reduced on kills. Throw dirt has a very low cool down at 40 seconds and can roll with an ignite proc on it. Only hits a frontal cone but you can position yourself to hit a lot of mongols if you play it right. If you play Ronin/Assassin, the bomb bag is extremely good for unloading all at once, or using delayed throws to crowd control a bit. You give up your ability to contribute to headshotting bonus challenges though since it takes up your bow slot.
