I know I can make a private game, I know I can put forth extra effort to get around it, but is it too much to ask to queue up with randos and not have my game trivialized and all the fun taken out of it by someone hucking a bomb or trollhammer into the horde I'm excited to tear into? I know it's been discussed to death, just having my after work activity wrecked and it kinda sucks. That's all.

Weekly Questions & Answers

Heroes! It's a brand new week with a brand new Q&A. All Vermintide-related questions are welcome!

Previous Q&As here. Enjoy!

Itens and equipments are diablo like?

So I know the recruit, champion, legend scaling, but I'm not clear on additional scaling in Chaos Wastes. My friends and I are debating what specifically is changing.

It seems there are two additional scales in play...

1. The choice of the 4 "map sets" you can run. This is where you see which run has Belakor or other gods with the citadel always on the far right (#4). Is it mob volume that scales, hp, damage?

2. Each map in the run. Same for the first..what "sliders" are being moved / percentages changed as you progress?

Thanks!

I’m super new to the warhammer series as a whole but I’ve been enjoying everything none the less and I’m becoming a huge fan of the 40k universe. As of rn I’m super upset bc I can’t play space marine 2 without the connection issues so here I am in this group asking you guys in your opinions what is the pros and cons of both for new players. I could get both but that won’t be till payday so a direct comparison between the 2 would be better for me to decide which one I should get first and ultimately which one I should be sinking a lot of my time into.

How hard is it to jump into Vermintide 2 current day? Steep learning curve?

so i bought the game when it was on sale for a few dollars and played it for a few hours and never touched it. what are the best dlcs for me to buy as a new player and which ones should i buy later in the game

Am I crazy? I ran a few searches online, but didn't come up with anything that answers my question.

Took a long break from V2, joined a quick match in Wastes on Champ, which is difficulty I used to play on regularly. I'm not a great player, plus took a while to remember how to play at all. Tried 2 times, got wiped on 2nd stage and next on 3rd. Can't say my team was bad, or I sucked too hard, but wipes felt unavoidable. Throughout all stages we had basically no healing items, no potions or spare bombs. I had very little to no ammo.

Then restarted with bots. Same difficulty, same character. I just cut like a butter through all arenas. Never once got downed, neither me, nor any bot. Wasn't picking up healing or pretty much any items, because we were stacked. Finished with surplus of ~2k coins.

I seriously don't get it...

With players, like 2-3 hits from blackrats instantly put me on the ground, as any other player. With bots, it was super easy to parry, but even when I didn't, black rats, chaos warriors and the rest were surrounding and beating me hardcore, while I was getting like 10-15% off per hit. Floating with thp and healing items/potions it doesn't really bother you much.

I refuse to believe that aren't some mad boosts when you play with bots. Damage with players and the way specials act is just different. With players, they feel smarter for some weird reason and all hits, even from lesser rats, is straight up punishing.

What's going on?

I just buy warhammer vermintide 2 and when i run it said "Launch error: the game is installed under a case-sensitive directory."

I've played around 2,300 hours of this game (healthy and normal brain...), I play legend tome/grim runs and cata, just baby stepping now into twitch and onslaught. My genuine question is that if the standard thp options were available to all classes in unmodded realm and the third healshare talent was reworked into a charm, would any class in particular become overpowered in your guy's opinion?

From my experience playing with tourney balance, stagger temp hp really helps out mercenary and handmaiden play their roles better as medic/tanks. Health on elite kill doesn't really mesh well with their playstyle as they can't really take out chaos or armored units effectively to gain a health boost. Shade and bounty hunter feel a lot more flexible with having thp on multiple hits and this is countered by their lower health pools and lack of damage resistance. Whc has an interesting quirk where you'd have to sacrifice meta flense and run deathknell for elite thp, because if an elite bleeds you miss potential health gain.

I think two potential OP classes would probably be unchained with thp on elite, and slayer/zealot thp stagger.

Thing is I don't see a lot of bounty hunters and handmaidens in normal quickplay I think for this reason. These classes are made very fragile by their poor thp generation, and need a bit more melee survivability. (Especially after the bounty hunter nerf awhile back.)

tldr; i think melee/headshot crit is too weak and ruins a lot of classes. i think more temp hp options would allow for more interesting player combat expression in unmodded realm. also temp hp on elite for whc would help me complete my bloodborne rally larp. (I don't know I see my own healthbar go up big like im vampirically stealing enemy health and i pog.)

I know most of you probably know it but in case you dont, use it and enjoy it before it get nerfed.

The talent is still giving you bombs in 80 seconds and not in 180 seconds like the talent description says.

Use it and enjoy it dawis.

I have tried to accomplish this challenge 6 times recently to no avail. The last 2 times I individually bathed 1 by 1 in all of the bubos (and I've heard you can even miss a couple), making sure I took damage for each.

What I'm wondering is if having the blessing's of improved health regen and 15% damage reduction make this fail, whether it is a glitch, or intended as this does make this challange way easier.

Does anyone have any info on this? Festering grounds end event is probably the one I struggle with the most and I don't want to deal with that stress for a challenge if it is fact not going to work.

.... is driving me crazy.

I've used pretty much all my deeds with the vanguard modifier at this point and have spent over a week just trying to get this thing done.

Whoever thought up this UMGAK challenge is up to some real Grobkaz.

Hello everyone, I’ve been struggling to achieve a stable online connection in Verm2 recently. Constant random disconnects and horrible latency in most/all matches. I’ve confirmed with the ransoms I play with that I am connecting to the correct data servers, and I monitor my network usage during gameplay to ensure no other apps are taking away from my bandwidth. I average 300Mbps down and ~10-20Mbps up. I have verified file integrity multiple times but no files are ever found to be missing or corrupt. Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions? I would prefer to avoid a fresh install but if that’s the only option then I guess so. TIA

Spent a lot of time on them, and just wanna share 🙂

I have a bit over 200 hrs on the game, I main zealot so I hear the word a lot, what actually are they tho?

What mod is there now to be able to see damage numbers? I'm talking about normal mode.

There is probably one post about deed rework every year or so. And to my knowledge still nothing happened.

So here we go again.

Dear Overweight Trout,

I know this is probably quite a niche topic (similar to weaves).

BUT

There actually exist a bunch of weirdos who like to play deeds :O

And I believe that deeds would really deserve some kind of rework or update. In its current form they feel kinda archaic and unfinished.

So I allowed myself to offer a few changes.

Suggestions:

• Form. Remove deeds in its current form. That means as a consumable chest drop with a random modifiers. Instead I would suggest to go the way of the Twitch mode. Let the hosting player set their preferred combination of modifiers in the options. Also it would be great to have a way to play randomly selected modifiers each game.

• Accessibility. Make games with deeds joinable thru Lobby browser (again similar to the Twitch mode). Currently you cannot really play deeds with randoms very well. You need to have a premade group of deed fanatics, or you will be stuck with bots. And playing solo you will soon have no deeds left to play in the first place. I think this is the biggest factor that discourage majority of players from playing this incredibly fun mode.

• Rewards. Currently the reward for playing deeds (besides the experience itself) is bunch of portrait frames, which are really cool in my opinion. But its quite a hassle to achieve them. So most players just do not bother. Add some weapon illusions or skins to get newer players even trying this mode. I can guarantee that they will come for the skins but stay for the fun :)

• Twitch + deeds. What I really like is that in its current form you can have active deeds concurrently with Twitch mode. THIS IS AMAZING. Please make sure it will be still possible after the rework.

Alright, I think those are the main changes I would propose.

Let me know if you like deeds and what changes would you suggest in the comments.

Thank you!

Yes

Really bad connection right now in all of my games unless I host. I verified game file integrity, restarted modem, restarted pc. No dice.

All other games I play are fine, internet is totally fine in any other application.

Anyone else?
