Vermintide 2 thread

ITT: We discuss absolutely nothing because that would be illegal.

I hope they change the waystalker's health regen passive because its so powerful right now that all the other careers feel gimped in comparison. Allegedly.

Can Kruber equip a greatsword in his footknight career path?

I can't decide between playing the test some more or going back to Vermintide 1 for now.
Our progress in 2 isn't going to carry over to the next beta/full release, so I'm worried I might get burned out by playing the same 2 maps over and over.

Vermintide memes sorely lacking.

Post ideas with or without pictures.
I'll make them reality.

What law would you break?

>start quickplay
>game crashes
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So if i preorder this right now can i play in the beta?

and how long does the beta last?

The EULA agreement that by accepting your beta key you are legally bound to, but Fatshark have no way to enforce, is really autistic about how you can't share or discuss ANY ASPECT of the technical beta, it's quite bizarre...

Pic related except featuring Kerillian. Bonus points if you can also incorporate other characters.

...

Chad Skaven, virgin lizardmen?

No answer for this? wondering the same thing

Has anyone gotten an xsword for kruber yet? How's it compare to VT1? It was such a fun and useful weapon.

I pre-ordered through steam a few hours ago and got immediate access to the closed test that is currently live.
I'm assuming you get access to the beta as well.

...

I stopped because of this. Also my pals aren't playing and I was getting sick of these randos.

Download size? slow internet here

Hypothetically, does anyone else think that the 1H axe, while satisfying to use, is severely weak against hordes?
It can’t even one shot clan rats unless you get a headshot, even though headshots are admittedly a lot more reliable. In theory, of course.

18.4gb iirc

>Kerillian as the girl

I think ur gay lol

>Hunstman with Executioner's sword
Dont tell Fatshark. DONT TELL FATSHARK

Its
Fucking
Holy
Shit

What were they thinking?

Rapier is my weaponfu. The pistol doesn't deal as much damage as it did in V1 but it's got infinite ammo now.

>Please don't reveal how janky and terrible our game is going to be

>Performance literally better than in VT1

>get stuck with shitters all day, cant finish a map online
>finally get to the end with one team
>disconnect
AAAAAAAAA
Any fix for the janky character audio?

>mfw shitters on forums yelling about how hard it is
>meanwhile grinding power to unlock Nightmare as Hard is getting trivial
Get good shitters

Is the Xsword as good as it was in vt1? Cause it was pretty fucking great in vt1.

It feels better

mostly people crying about lvl1 shit tier equipment

Any good trinkets you picked up?

>me grind in wipe beta

Yeah, want to test how Nightmare feels of course.

Oh yeah? Well let us know how it is

Movement speed and damage reduction against chaos seem decent so far

How are victors pistols? i fucking loved them in V1, please say the handguns arent ruined

they shoot rats and northmen dead.

>play normals
>lose half the time
>play hard
>win all the time
explain this, shills

Better players move onto hard
new players constantly flood into normal

you will always be stuck in a shitter squad if you play normal statistically

I applied for the Beta on console but I heard only PC players had to pre-order. Is this true?

You need Bounty Hunter for them imo, as otherwise the ammo capacity is piss poor

Just me who thinks the guns feel underwhelming this time around? Can't put my finger on it, but the sfx seems worse in my opinion and they don't seem as impactful.

This.
For a long time Hard was significantly more difficult than Nightmare in VT1 for this precise reason.

>ive never played vermintide 1 before
>get in the beta
>friend who plays it frequently
>didnt get a beta key

>as otherwise the ammo capacity is piss poor
h-how bad?

Unless you're doing the ranged classes weapons in this game have a lot less ammo. Victors pistols have 20. So if you're playing witch hunter saltspyre you not only have to make every shot count but youre also very severely punished for doing rapid fire. Ammo is scarce. Feels like playing half of vermintide 1s victor but maybe I'm just being dramatic, only played 2 levels so far

They seem to limit ranged as a whole. I don't know if it's just the smaller bar but it feels like I overcharge significantly quicker on Battle Wizard than in 1.

20

what's the "Helmgart Heraldry themed skins" included in the collectors edition? can a nigga get some pics? debating which edition I should buy

Played the shit out of #1 and never got a key, feelsbadman. Hows #2? Im pretty hyped for it, it looks good but does it play well?

shots

This

Yeah thanks for letting me know, because that's exactly what I was worried about. Usually why I don't play betas. See you on 1 tonight.

Fuck this really hurts, one of my favorite things was clearing an area using the pistols.

How are the "ranged" classes?

Well that kind of makes me want to hold off on getting it. working the pistols in with melee was satisfying as hell

Who is the best ranged character and why is it Huntsman Kruber?

You can still clear an area of stormvermin or mauraders with pistols. Just have to play Bounty Hunter. Pistols I feel have become more focused on killing "elite" mobs then horde clearing. They no longer penetrate but one shots marauders at close range.
Bounty hunter is also pretty fun. The extra ranged damage every 8 seconds let's you kill specials with one shot. His ability one shots chaos warriors and can remove a third of a chaos spawns health and it penetrates through about 10 fuckers.
Pistols + Rapier were my favorite weapons in vermintide im sad they got merged but they are still good if you play Bounty Hunter. This is all from the one game I played with BH last night. The lack of ammo is actually a real problem for all of witch hunter captains ranged weapons.

>I'm sad they got merged
Sorry meant I'm sad they got nerfed I'm running on 3 hours of sleep.

it plays really gud
if you're getting it anyway a preorder will guarantee you beta access to the current one going on and the next ones

sounds like they just removed something fun without adding anything in it's place

>Have to individually click on them to reveal them
>Different rarity boxes
I'm glad they won't be doing MTX based on these, but these still manage to encapsulate the worst parts of in-game lootboxes.

Fuck is the loot still a retarded gamble system?

So this game is basically first person diablo or what? Looks interesting but i dont get what the replaybility is with it. Can someone explain?

Left 4 Dead with classes and items. That's pretty much it.

Slightly better.
When you level up you get a lootbox. Leveling lootboxes have a set rarity
When you finish a level, you get a super shitty lootbox. If you have tomes and grimmoirs the rarity of the lootbox increases. All lootboxes guarantee one equippable and the drops are geared towards the character you have selected when you open then

It's lootboxes, familia. You get a box of certain rarity at the end of a mission, and there's a progress bar that is filled out by modifiers such as tomes, which "upgrades" your box. You can then open the box on whatever character you want in the Keep.

the real question is why does the exp/loot screen after missions TAKE SO FUCKING LONG HOLY SHIT THIS IS HALF MY PLAYTIME

How is it compared to the first?
This is my first time knowing that they're making a second one

So far better than the first in every single way

Ah so more grinding shit. they couldn't add a shop at least

fuck

>they couldn't add a shop at least
You literally made Adolf Hitler get off his dick throne in the midst of the flames of hell, walk into the bathroom, and sob quietly in the corner of a shower. He held a bottle of cheap whiskey in his shaking hand, no longer secure in his position as world's least likable human being

It seems more to me they just limited something really fun to one class.
I have only played one mission but bounty hunter seems stronger the witch hunter. There's no real melee difference and the BH has far better ranged. Plus the hand cannon ability is so satisfying to fire can kill 4 stormvermin in one shot if they line up. Sends them all flying.

I feel like 2 is going to be what 1 was at launch, a pain to reach the setup you want. First you'll need to grind levels for setting up the basics like passive talents and unlocking career paths, then you'll need to grind out Power, but you'll also need to fish for traits spread out across multiple items to craft the build you want. Don't forget that upping % of traits is still a thing, too.

He probably meant an in-game shop that would probably sell crafting mats or gear for leftovers you get from missions, kind of like the shrine thing in 1.

>Plus the hand cannon ability is so satisfying to fire can kill 4 stormvermin in one shot if they line up.
Gimmicks like this aren't that great, and get boring fast

I mean't an in game shop.

Like you got gold after quests and you could sell shit. to buy what you want. fuck this grinding to roll the dice bullshit.

...

Did the game have a better optimisation this time or it's will again be "play on low or no 60 fps for you" ?

Was the first one decent? I like the whfb universe but it seems just a shallow and short action game.

Ah man i thought the got rid of the random loot shit. looks like i will be waiting for a sale.

It had a shaky start, but a few months on they’d made it very solid.

Is the pre-order beta live already?

NASTY SURPRIZE

That one starts on the 28th

Chaos types definitely aren’t OP or overused in anyway, nope nope...
Does anyone think the stormvermin move faster this time around?

I don’t think they’re faster, but the fact they have more dynamic attacks probably makes them seem to.

>He doesn't know vermintide memes

Emergency dose incoming

>left 4 dead style game where each character has 1(one) ability and 1(one) passive
>will undoubtedly launch with no content and expect you to pay for dlc
fuck off fatshark

>Looks interesting but i dont get what the replaybility is with it.
A ton of different maps with a ton of randomly spawned enemies and items. Plus it's pretty hard on higher difficulties.

Yeah its a lot better

Replay is largely based around different enemy spawns (which 2 has significant added to), different item spawn locations and rarity, if you take the grim/tomes or not, characters and their loadouts, and the sheer levels of banter you get

>will undoubtedly launch with no content and expect you to pay for dlc
It will launch with 13 maps just like the first one, however no Well Watch or other really short filler missions.
It'll have a vastly improved Last Stand (so no fucking slave rat waves and hurr 1 ogre 2 ogre 3 ogre 4 ogre shit)
Heroic Deeds which are basically L4D2 Mutators, that give extra rewards. Stuff like True Solo is confirmed as one.
And to top it off, steam workshop

Sounds decent imo

What a bizarre dev name. When you say ‘fuck you fatshark’ it sounds like a joke name

>what the replaybility is with it
Getting good, clearing highest difficulty, playing mutator modes, enjoying an extremely satisfying combat.
