Vermintide

Man, this game. I mean. THIS. GAME.

Ok, so Vermintide takes place in the Warhammer fantasy world during whats called the End Times. Chaos and Skaven (rat men) are overrunning the entire world. Apparently Skaven blew up the moon? Anyways, that's not important. This game is about you fighting the skaven in one city in The Empire (human lands, well one of them).

The game is a horde survival game. Think Left for Dead or Killing Floor. Except instead of machine guns you have swords and axes and magic and instead of Uncle Phil you have a Dwarf or a Elf or a Wizard. Each character is very distinguished from the other. Different weapons, different play style, and in some cases (wizard) different mechanics. The melee combat feels great, really rewarding. The blocking mechanics are really really well done, and there is something so satisfying about lodging an axe in a skaven skull.

There's more though, the game has actual progression in it from map to map. At the end of a match you "roll die" to get a possible new weapon or trinket. During the match you can pick up things that let you roll more die (tomes and grimoires) but also make the match more difficult. The gear progression is actually pretty fun, and it doesn't feel too grindy or that it makes you overpowered.

Why? Because the game is incredibly hard. L4D is a straight joke compared to this game. I have had a hard time completing maps on easy on multiple occasions. This will get better as I get my hands on better gear, which means that item progression allows you to play more difficult maps that are sort of untouchable at low levels. There's also a limited crafting system.

Anyways, here are the current heroes:

Witch Hunter: Sword and Fast Ranged (brace of pistols or repeater). Middle of the road in terms of damage and defense. He can weild a greatsword or a fast single sword. I believe he can also dual weild a sword and a pistol, haven't played with him much.

Dwarf Ranger: Sword and board or great weapon, or Slow Powerful Ranged. One of the 2 possible tank characters. Can either play a defensive role with the shield, which is very useful, or weild a great weapon to clear groups. Has one of the most powerful ranged weapons, but its very slow. He also is shorter, and this is sort of disorienting when you play him.

Elven Waywatcher: Sword/swords and fast ranged. High damage but the weapons are usually low defense. My personal favorite to play. Lots of fun with the dual weild swords, or even the daggers, but they are a bit strange to use. The bow is of course awesome. Look basically you're Legolas.

Empire Soldier: Fairly similar to the Dwarf, you can either go with one BIG weapon that clears groups or a sword and board. One difference is that his ranged weapon is a blunderbuss so that's awesome.

Bright Wizard: The NUKE. This character plays different from the rest. He has a sword which you will use from time to time, but the main thing is his staff, which he uses to cast fire spells. You have to manage your magic though, because if you use too much too fast you will straight up explode and die. Does a lot of damage though, and has some great AOE spells. Depending on which staff you use the spells will be different.

Anyho, the game is sweet. My only complaint with it right now is that it is so difficult that I don't like playing with PUGs.

Did they address the problem of so much of the game being too freakin' hard to see? I'm really interested in this game, in any case.

Not enough to break my "no preordering" rule, but perhaps enough to not wait for it to go to $15 on a steam sale..

As for it being dark, it doesn't seem too dark to me. Yeah, the gameplay happens at night, but it seems to be a pretty bright night from what I can tell so far, aside from a few dark alleys.

You can't play the game currently and we are very sorry for that. We've had to take down our backend for unscheduled maintenance. It's a difficult decision but a few hours ago we had some technical issues with our backend due to failed unauthorized tampering with the servers. We are now tightening up these processes before the release of the game on Friday. This is now our top priority here at Fatshark and we hope to be able to get online again today, Wednesday. We'll keep posting more info as we have it.

Being an indie developer we are used to working tightly with our community to improve our games during betas. This includes openness and simplicity. Vermintide has got a great response - there are more beta players than we imagined even in our wildest fantasies - and everyone at Fatshark is working long hours to give you the best game possible by Friday, and beyond. Bear with us as we tighten the screws on the backend!

For future reference its a pretty bad idea to split up at the final spot. There's a corner area down by the bottom of the stairs that works pretty well. Didn't realize you guys were playing normal difficulty until the end, well done on that.

It's really just the same old argument from L4D2: Why should I have to put up with randos that don't know how to play? They are right.

Also, apparently we're supposed to AVOID the Stormvermin patrols (the 6+ Commanders).

Hah, so apparently there's one room in Wizard's Tower that actually appears different to every player depending on their character. I just thought it was a room full of gold treasure as I was playing the dwarf, but apparently to the Elf it looks like a jungle, to the Bright Wizard it looks like a city in flames, to the soldier it looks like the city streets but clean and in good repair, and to the witch hunter it looks like a market plaza with heretics being tortured in the middle.

It's the first "event" in the Tower... where someone needs to break the ropes holding the door closed. I actually commented on how the room changed when I switched from the Soldier to Saltpyre, but I didn't realize the layout was the same.

I was playing on Normal a couple of days ago and rocking pretty hard when I got grouped with a rando group of people who knew how to stick together. The game doesn't seem that hard when you have people willing to, you know, not all go out on their own. But then the servers went kaput and I haven't been able to get a good game since.

It'd be nice if we could get a shield/weapon combo for the soldier as well. It'd make "pairing off" a lot more survivable I think, that shield slam is ridiculous. Doesn't get kills, but lets your partner kill at leisure.

Soldiers get a Sword and Board, but that just leaves them highly susceptible Commanders and Stormvermin, as their Coachgun is pitiful against them. Also... I think I broke mine down already so I need to get another one as a drop. We might need to farm equipment.

Make no mistake; the Warhammer Variants are all much worse. The Pack Rat is what you get when a hunter and a jockey make love, except a Pack Rat has enough power to do something to you. Globiers can RAPID FIRE their poison wind and will suicide into poison clouds if given the chance. Ratling Gunners are damned hard to remove once they become entrenched. Stormvermin squads are pretty damn nasty with their armor.

Everything is just hard to deal with.

Yeah, gutter runners are hunters, packmasters are smokers/jockeys, globadiers are both spitters and boomers, rat-ogres are tanks and there's a kind of new dynamic in ratling gunners and Stormvermin patrols. It still needs more L4D ideas implemented, like giving items to teammates such as potions and bombs, and right now bombs are actually kinda useless because the explosive ones don't attract the horde like pipe bombs and the incendiary ones don't burn for extended periods like molotovs. Some people would like L4D's "take a break" option as well. Also, there's no Vs mode, it's co-op only.

Also, I'd like it if you could trade weapons/items with other players when you're in the inn (staging area/mission selection).[DOUBLEPOST=1445559697,1445559576][/DOUBLEPOST]Although, I guess, now that I've learned you're supposed to AVOID stormvermin patrols, and I remember they make loud marching noises and chant cadence at the top of their squeaky voices, I guess they are more like witches from L4D.

Helps a lot with a solid group, try doing a 2 grim run with a pug.

Anyways, for the wizard tower I think the best bet may be to just have the full team walk around the circle and clear the flags as a group. They have a lot of health and getting split up there is tough as hell.

I would be surprised if Vs didn't become a thing fairly soon. If I remember right L4D didn't start with it either


#75

I definitely wouldn't try anything above normal without a group, probably not above easy. That said, we just moved up to hard, and it feels tough but manageable. If we had a regular 4th person it'd be pretty stable clearing, I think.

I noticed last night I'm getting better at doing sweep attacks with the shield, which doesn't use stamina, does do damage, and still has the front arc knockback of shield bashing. The timing of how long to hold down the button was kinda tricky, and it does also kind of leave me open to attacks since I can't block while charging the sweep.

Well no, I'd hate you more if you had the video of where we were having stupid drunken bickering and you subtitled it that way. Lol

Hah, well, fortunately for us both, I deleted that footage in a drunken fit of pique when I crashed in the middle of the level. So the record of you calling me SuperDwarf McAwesomePants or whatever it was is lost to the ages. :(

So I just successfully pug'd smugglers run and the black powder map on hard. One of the little tricks I see people using is waiting to be downed before healing since you rez with 50% hp, so a kit or a potion brings you up to 100%. Worked pretty well.

After going and reading the summary of the Reddit AMA from a few days ago, I am pretty happy with some of the dev philosophies. A big one being that only the host needs to own a DLC map if they want to play it with their friends.

Is there any chance to introduce more races ( playable )? ( orc etc... )

Martin, CEO: Yes! We actually already have one enemy from a different faction in the pre production phase. Let the speculations begin. ;)

Not to suggest I don't think there's enough as it is (I'm very happy with the five we already have), but out of curiosity, are there any plans kicking around to add in more playable characters?

Mårten, Producer: When we picked these five, we started out with almost fifty different races and careers and had a really hard time choosing, but we are really happy with how they turned out.

We do though have a lot of plans, almost anything can be found in them. ;)

Good gravy. Came home to a 12 gig patch in progress tonight. HUGE patch hit today. Oh and apparently they're giving away a free loot item for every day you log in in december.

Changes (with stuff that particularly sticks out to me highlighted in red):


This patch is a big one.

In the last couple of months we've been extremely focused on solving bugs and acting on community feedback. The results are a patch larger than any we've ever released before.

This patch also contains content for the upcoming Karak Azgaraz DLC which releases on December 15th. Details on that here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/463791/



CHANGELOG


FEATURES
  • Added some weight and variation to ragdoll behaviours
  • Added physics to a number of props in the Inn which were previously static
  • A new HUD has been added when playing with controller

  • Added option to switch between different controller layouts
  • Added Auto-aim support when playing with controller
  • Added mouse scroll inputs as keybindings
  • Added option to disable/enable "Give Items with Block Key"
  • Franz Lohner no longer whistles cheerfully. It is the End Times after all



OPTIMIZATIONS
This patch contains all the optimization that we did to get the game run on console hardware. It targets CPU-heavy systems where we have seen general improvements overall. It also addresses lag spikes and where lot of AI or physics are in play, lag spikes in specific situations such as VO and resource loading. It should also gives us shorter loading times.
  • Lots of code has been moved to less used CPU-cores, and runs more in parallel.

...so basically, it's almost a completely different game, oh and they improved headshotting and made light attacks work more like Street Fighter.

They also reduced the heat buildup on the bright wizards. But yeah, the dwarf 1 handed hammer having its hit limit removed is immense. When we were playing regularly, I barely ever used the hammer, it was something just to hold in my off hand while I beat everything with my shield.

I totally missed that there's a new Vermintide DLC with a dwarf-themed level.



Anybody wanna kill some rats this weekend? I've already bought the DLC, and the way the game works, only the host has to have it for the group to play it.

Just a reminder folks, Vermintide tonight starting 8pm eastern. Terrik managed to stay up with us until 2 am playing Killing Floor 2 last night, and he's taking a nap this afternoon, so this one might just work out for once :p

In my defense, I was 3 sheets to the wind and it made an arrow-hit sound effect when the stormvermin got hit.

Also, reviewing my own footage, it turns out that the time I got downed on the pressure plate was because I lost track of my heat buildup and my drakefire pistols exploded >_<

Maybe I should see if that evening is worth condensing to a video after all.

I'll bear that in mind. But first I'm gonna have to go through my own footage and see if there's enough witticism to make a video, and whittle down 3 hours of footage to that. Then, I dunno, you'd have the same banter recorded I do, right? Did something else entertaining happen from your POV that I'd have missed? Or did you maybe keep going after I retired? :p

Well, I opened up Premiere last night and still sitting there was my old half-done Viscera Cleanup Detail footage from January. I guess time aged it well, because it seems a lot more video-worthy than it did when last I watched it. So I've decided to finish it first. I'm also captioning it kinda like SovietWomble, just for "giggles." That makes it take a lot longer. I've got six minutes captioned, and I've started trimming more fat to reduce the run time. It was 20 minutes, now it is down to 15, and I hope it will continue to shrink similarly as I go, so that I can get it to 10 minutes or so. I anticipate this to take another 2, maybe 3 days.

After that, I'll have a look at the Vermintide footage.

Ugh. SO much of my footage is us standing around in the inn while I try to guide Snuffles through testing his computer's power switch via google hangout. Which means it was on my stream, too >_<
