Red items made from Morbian steel

Haven't touched Vermintide 2 in years, as you can see in pic related, but I've gotten the urge to dive back in.
If I remember correctly, I think I stopped playing shortly after Fatshit gave all players temporary free access to the Shadows over Bögenhafen maps in 2018.
Can I get a QRD on how much (or how little) the game has improved since I stopped playing?
One thing I particularly want to know is if they've fixed the loot system to make it less grindy and timewasting. I vaguely remember something about red dust.
Also, how much (or how little) have they sanctioned from the modded realm that you can play in the official realm? I remember it took Fatshark ages to approve anything from the modded realm.
On a final note, I notice the game has accumulated a ton of DLC since 2018, all of which seem to be bundled as part of a Legacy Collection that is currently on sale. Is the collection as a whole worth it or is it filled with a lot of useless shit?

>>542475873
its somewhat different. the core structure is in place but many many career weapons and equipment and even a few map changes

>>542475873
not sure about the exact timeline but here
>2019
Winds of Magic releases along with cataclysm difficulty, Beastmen were buggy and not well received, they have been toned down a bit but still annoying
>2020
Grail Knight Career DLC for Kruber and Bardin's Outcast engineer
it was a stretch and a half making him a Grail Knight (his ancestor was a giga chad bretonnian that got chased out by jealous fag)
Bardin's career was kind of mid on release, better now that he can produce bombs
>2021
Chaos Wastes mode released, roguelite adventure linked by maps, each map can have modifiers attached to it, along the map you can aquire blessings (like every X strike deal guaranteed crit or your crits make chaing lightning etc...)
each week different chaos god resided at the end with their own modifiers
since then mode received a few overhauls(new blessings, monsters with modifiers like immunity to ranged attack or stagger) and Belakor was added as a bonus round map
>Kerillian Class DLC
the most obnoxious and OP shit imaginable, after it got nerfed people cried for months
>Warrior Priest for Saltzpyre Career
not the strongest but it was fun regardless, pack came with few new weapons that were cool
>Sienna the Negromancer
it's okay even if skellies are distracting
>maps
we also received like 4(or was it 5?) seperate campaigns with their chapters free of charge, long ass maps with a lot of gimmicky objectives

>>542476732
>>542476537
Thanks.
It seems like Chaos Wastes is very interesting. I love roguelites.
What about the loot system? Have they made grinding for optimized red gear that allows you reach breakpoints less tedious and timewasting?
Also, now that I remember: Is stupid shit like the green boss walls still in the game?
And have they fixed bot AI so that solo play with bots is now actually reasonable instead of forcing you to babysit retarded AI that can even unintentionally triggers patrols?

>>542477127

God, Fatshit is so retarded.
Imagine being 8 years into the release of your game and you still haven't fixed the basic pathfinding issue of bots accidentally suiciding themselves off of ledges.
I'm reading through forums and it seems like they're still shit, even with modded realm mods.

>>542471390
Why the fuck would you ask this here and not /tg/?

I'm going to hurt you now!

Lucky bullet description
>15% chance of triggering lucky bullet and not consuming ammo on ranged attacks.

What lucky bullet actually does:
>15% chance of shooting twice in a row on single click (or three times if you have max back off! stacks) without consuming ammo. 20% chance of your shot not consuming any ammunition.

>>542479549
Retard

>>542477127
>>542477880
bot pathfinding isn't really much of an issue, the worst thing that happens is them getting stuck on some corner but that usually fixes itself quickly and i don't remember the last time i've seen bots ledge themselves
also they can fight just fine even on cata if you equip them properly but they will still act retarded from time to time, and sometimes they'll chase down specials instead of shooting them which can fuck you over on cata but thankfully this doesn't happen very often at all to me

Impossible to code for current Fatshark

So do people not like darktide or what? I've been having a lot of fun with vermintide 2 with my friends.

>>542486891
"15% chance of not consuming ammo" and "15% chance of shooting twice" are functionally identical. You shoot twice because the first shot consumed no ammo and you continued to hold the trigger long enough to buffer a second shot.
And "20% chance of your shot not consuming ammunition" is simply wrong.

people who tend to like darktide are 40k fans, and 40k fans are notorious for ONLY liking 40k and wont try anything else, so they wont play VT2, DRG, L4D2 etc despite those games being WAY better
they're not fans of co-op games, they're fans of 40k games, regardless of it's quality (unless of course its an RTS or CRPG because they're not shooters)

>>542488540
But I like Darktide and have played those games

>>542487627
Why would you think that? 80% of the discussion here is darktide. Much of it is complaining, but if we truly didn't like the game, we would just play something else instead of caring enough to voice our opinions. It's still a fundamentally good game with good base gameplay, it could just be handled differently in a few ways.
Vermintide is awesome. Most people like both games. They're like 60% the same anyway.

>>542488540
This is absolutely untrue. Both parts. It's true for a handful of samples and you're going off the deep end.

So the ideal Havoc comp is Arby Psyker Veteran Zealot?

>>542494662
More like three Arby’s and an Ogryn with Heavy Stubber and Pickaxe

The fact that bots are even capable of accidentally ledging (regardless of how common or rare you think it happens) when enemies don't do that is proof that Fatshark deliberately designed to be weak and retarded.
These are bots.
They could be designed to have perfect aim, perfect dodges, perfect movement and wallhacks. Obviously, I'm not saying Fatshark should do that, as that would be overpowered, but I'm just saying that it's possible to make them that way.
So there's nothing stopping Fatshark from at least making them able to traverse terrain with a 100% guaranteed chance of never accidentally ledging.
There's also nothing stopping Fatshark from doing what other games do with NPC companions when they accidentally fall into lethal holes, which is to have them respawn right back on safe ground.
Fatshark deliberately did not provide bots with any of these basic courtesies.

>>542491568
that's an issue with the gun, not the keystone

>>542495419
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were using the decision tree for special spawns as a pathfinding solution, as a quick fix that never got updated.

The Barktide post had 5 pets including from photos clearly taken at home. If a conservative 1/3 of employees have a pet, there are 15 people working on Darktide including community support.

Meaning probably about 3-5 actual developers. You’re getting everything they can put out.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST FIX THESE LOADOUT BUGS

>>542495742
nah the bot logic is custom and a dedicated AI tree, you can go look at it in the decompiled source code
What I suspect (but haven't confirmed) is that they didn't paint certain parts of the map with flags to indicate it's a ledge so the AI literally cannot detect it shouldn't jump off a cliff there
For whatever reason a lot of flags and triggers like that are manually set rather than being dynamically determined - presumably it's more efficient that way, but it also means that the devs need to not fuck up when they're building maps (Fatshark challenge: impossible)

Surprisingly competent but by no means will I ever corrupt my pure academic logic and financial sector scripting education with whatever technoheresy is going on under the hood of this hot mess.

I’ll clear the board with Fatshark if they give me their UE5 Darktide 2 slop for at least 50% off at launch, as a victim of Darktide.

Otherwise I will buy the game just to ruin runs, leave a bad review, and ruin community discussion by being obnoxiously vocal in an annoyingly positive way about the game - tainting the image of fans in an irreparable way.

You want it if you intend to play it again. Careers being fun aside, weapons tied to all those dlcs are much more important and usable on vanilla classes too. Being cucked out of Cata is bad too, even if they loosened restrictions, it was still not enough

Because at least then we can work to perfecting weapons/curios so it doesn't feel like such a defeat, especially if the wipe isn't directly your fault.

In Darktide you can use any mod you want and Fatshark has no control over it.

no way, i can clear full book legend runs solo with bots no problem and they can dodge dance monsters almost perfectly better than most players, they can even hold their own in cata while i sometimes have trouble carrying retards in legend
i recently played a few games on cata solo with bots and it went way smoother then i expected, i even had sott bot keep a Stormvermin aggroed to it solo at the barn in Against the Grain while i was dealing with the horde, even managed to do Skittergate with them and the hardest part of that by far was the final boss

I wish it was possible to play offline. Fewer things are more demoralizing in VT2 than to have your run completely fail because the game's shitty server disconnects mere seconds before you enter the Bridge of Shadows.

If there are like 20,000+ people playing your game daily and the reviews for your game are mostly positive, then it is a good game.

I have played DRG, it was fun but I do like Darktide as well.
I do 100% need to play more of DRG though, and since Darktide is in a massive content drought, might as well try that.

For me the main reason why I ever bought darktide was purely because I could play as an ogryn. I've always liked games where I get to be the giant ogre who hits hard and protects the team.
When I saw in the trailers that you could play as an ogryn I was fucking sold and wanted to buy Darktide.
Is Darktide perfect however? No, it's far from it but at this point most of the issues the game had have been addressed and fixed (even if slowly) and Fatshark as a developer has massive issues.
Only things I'm annoyed by currently is the lack of new maps, new enemies + enemy factions and then new weapons.
Last map we got was Clandestium Gloriana, and then within 3 years of DT life span we've only gotten 2 new enemies.

>>542503619
I think it would benefit greatly from being more forgiving at the start and having more QoL especially in online play. I know it goes against the whole roguelike feel of the game but it sucks when you play with your friends and one of them ends up dying to a trap/boulder/oneshot by high level monster and you end up vaccuuming all the levels and gear to yourself while they are permanently gimped.
In similar fashion the endgame (atleast solo) is WAY too easy and i ended up basically rushing the exit on the last zone because i already had best gear possible and couldnt be bothered to pick up items or fight stuff anymore.
Also completely agree the combat is kinda janky and i hope they rework it (alongside stealth its so easy to abuse once you know how it works)

If your vet player isnt retarded he will be sniping every special before they even get a chance to attack (apart from maybe muties as they are pretty tanky and almost a non-threat compared to everything else) but that's asking alot from Darktide players.

>>542506072
Most people don't let them live, the problem is that bomber AI is dickheaded and designed to hang back and hide behind cover and then lob grenades at you from a blindspot.

Flamers are at least easy in that they just run up to you which lets you easily dome them or even melee them if you can dodge the flame.

What a strange thing to say. You know it isn’t true because you felt the need to reply to yourself too. Weirdo.

Rotten armor is cancerous, but I still think that pox gas is the worst modifier in pubs. Even relatively bad groups can clear havoc missions by taking their time, and gas eliminates that as an option. You're constantly moving around to avoid taking damage and it just short-circuits people's brains.

If slaneeshi daemons are too sexy to be put into any games then explain why its ok for me to be subjected to Sefoni making suggestive comments and moaning like a slut 24/7 into my poor innocent virgin ears while i try to complete mortis trials penances.

>>542496331
i’m very curious to see the extent of your own “academic logic and financial sector scripting education”

>>542511273
It's not that sexy or suggestive things aren't allowed in games
It's that you're not allowed to have those things be portrayed as behaviors you can justify killing someone over
Slaanesh is an "issue" because you're essentially killing people for being extreme perverts, and even if it's completely justifiable within the lore it's socially unacceptable for marketing purposes

But it's the most obvious one. It would lend itself so well.

I can't think of anything else really. Even some Forgotten Realms game was tried already, but all those tabletop rpg settings feel too progressive to just let you slaughter Orcs en masse. It doesn't even sound like something which would appeal to fanbases of those settings

Honestly Fatshark didn't even scratch a surface with both wfhb and 40k. They could make multiple sequels to both and not run out of material - weapons, locations, enemies, playable characters etc

They're teased in different maps like pic related, but again, small presence like the genestealers for now until Fatshark decides to progress with the plot.

They are not in the game, technically.
However in the refinery delta mission, the one where you build up pressure in the gestation tanks to destroy the plague admonition is working on. There is a secret plague bearer skull in the final room, it's in a pile of gore.

I have no idea what it would actually play like, but running around as a literal god and defending from the various threats that star in them would be a treat to see.
Alternatively, I think a Hakf Life spin off where you either play as the Combine trying to subjugate other dimensions or defending yourself as one of those dimensions would also be neat.

Because Slannesh is literally just drag queens and trannies. They were making fun of them back then when 40k was being codified and nobodoy thought that eventually it would become accepted or even supported behaviour, so Slannesh is sentenced to sit in the corner forever because removing one of the big four would cause an uproar in the community. They already tried once with Age of Sigmar and it wouldn't surprise me if the eventual conclusion of the whole Vashtorr thing is to pull a quick one on us and swap him with Slannesh.

I actually got to level cap on my main before I realized that poxwalkers were different than normal enemies or whatever. I'm sure it adds a layer of visual complexity that makes the game feel less cheap but I haven't made a single mechanic decision as a result of the """mixed hordes."Y You want enough rending to take down carapace enemies anyway, so I've never spared it any thought. Everything dies to the same combos anyway. Only time it's worth sparing processing power better spent dodging to alter your attack pattern is when you face a carapace elite.

Honestly I prefer it this way since I like the idea of shooting at a bunch of Lost & Damned, but with how the game is structured around having multiple "factions" (Scabs and Dregs, technically) my wishful thinking would have been that we'd get other guys at some point.
Truth however is all that we' can hope to get is the Genestealer Cult "second hive" DLC in couple years that will be mostly reskinned Dregs with couple of specials (welcome back Beastmen). Some new elite that will play badly and fit weirdly some time after (welcome back Chaos Warrior with mace and shield.)

>poxwalkers were different than normal enemies
buh?
poxwalkers are the green zombies, and there are the pale infected humans with armour, and I’ve noticed recently there are rare enemies that look like they were imperial guardsmen at one time

Favorite Vermintide 2 line? For me it's

I mean this isn't a gotcha or a contest for you to even concede in but that's genuinely the reason for a lot of stupid decisions in modern games. Mourningstar exists as a hub solely so other people can look at your cosmetics. You can't private a game alone because nobody will look at your cosmetics. Bots are generic and bad so you want to play with other people and they will stand out.
The worst part is it's proven to work, just as FOMO and other scummy practices are.
