My only complaint with the early access pre order beta thats currently running is only having three maps. But that will be solved on the 8th.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to fulfill my Slayer oath.

Yeah 3 maps suck but atleast they wont reset progress on this beta., though i think i heard they will add one more map friday so tomorrow, there will be 14 maps the 8th on release i think then there will be full mod support this time so i expect tons of maps later on.

You say that but there is currently an invulnerability bug being exploited. Hopefully the devs can ban the exploiters but in reality it would be easier to wipe everyones progress.

Edit: One of the dev's posted on the Steam forums about it.
"We have no plans to wipe everyone based on this bug/exploit alone."

since this is a game where you are actually supposed to challenge yourself, I don't give a damn about any exploiters whatsoever... unless they are in my game - but that's never going to happen because host migration is a thing and there is also no votekick etc, which means I'm only able to play this game with friends anyway.

On top of that:

Huntsman is fucking OP. One shotting Rat Ogres / Stormfiends shouldn't be a thing.
We haven't seen the real bossfights yet, but if they are just 2-3 times as tough as these in terms of HP, they will fall in less than 5 seconds.

Fun game, seems to have improved the first in many ways, but pretty imbalanced still.

What I still don't like is that if you wipe after a 30 minute mission you practically get nothing bar some XP, making pugging a risky thing and even with friends shit always can go south. A better way would be that you lose all your tomes and grimmoires and start from the latest checkpoint, so you can get at least the base reward.

I played the open beta and while it was kinda fun, I wonder if it's enough for a stand-alone game content wise. It feels awfully much like an extra feature, a cod zombiemode if you will.

And that's why it's a half priced game.

Hm, I don't consider €25 'half priced', since I've rarely paid more for a pc game, but I get your point.

Its a fun game, but feels a lot like an expansion of the first one rather than a whole new game. Though being only £20 its not bad!

I would like to have damage numbers in game and not just on the target dummies

Game probably is great fun to play with friends. I dunno, i dont have any.

Ive had a few fun games with randoms, and a few terrible ones.

The worst games are the ones when people play solo and just run off and do their own thing, don't mark supplies or dangerous enemies etc

Game should be labeled "Stick together, if you wander off you will be mutilated".

With official mod support coming in V2 this won't be an issue. Wasn't an issue in V1 with QoL mod or VMF.

I'd rather play with bots than randoms 99.9% of the time tbh.

So what exactly does the special (RB) do with the iron breakers dual hand cannons?

It looks like they are charging up, it fills up the overheat bar, but then it doesn't seem to do any damage? Ive tested it against the target dummies and some skaven, and it doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Awesome, i didn't know this game was going to have mods.

And yeah, sometimes the bots are reallly good. Had one yesterday , we all died except for the bot, and she fought off 20 skaven and then revived me, and then saved me from a hook skaven. I was pretty impressed.

It's suppose to be a very short range frontal cone type of aoe with a stagger. It worked great in V1 because it actually set the mobs on fire and bought you some space. In V2 it seems weird. It works in operation the same way, but I never see mobs being set on fire and I can't tell if it actually does any damage at all. Also weapons with dot effects are weird on the target dummy. Hagbane bow shows arrow damage but not the dot.

Ah, i thought it was something like that, but as you said theres no visual feedback so it looks like it isn't doing anything at all :/

Has anyone played as a slayer yet? they are really fun, but you take so much damage. but leaping into the massives hordes of enemies and just swinging your axes wilding is quite fun!

Slayer is pretty fun. I feel like I need auto hot key to spam left click though lol

I use his leap to flank more than straight up fly into large groups. Helps with not getting ass stabbed as much. Pop something with a lot of stamina in your secondary slot to manage hordes/getting surrounded better. I prefer a 2h hammer. Definitely need to understand dodge/block/push mechanics to play it very well.

I'm definitely liking vermintide 2 more than I did vermintide 1, and that's only after playing the first 4 maps. Can't wait to see the rest

what exactly does stamina do? block / dodge amount?
