Balance feedback from a top 0.3% player

Nicely done

As a zealot main I rather like the ULT having a choice between using it for melee to proc crit and damage reduction OR 3 seconds of melting ranged fire without damage reduction. I actually thought this was brilliant…but apparently a bug?

I guess my question is…why would you recommend this gets fixed/nerfed, when you would choose 2 out of the 4 characters over it as it is? to me it makes sense that the ult affects ranged aswell, as Zealot is a close quarters hybrid (not just melee). He even has an ability to increase ranged damage (proximity).

if the Ult is changed to just melee…then you are pigeon holed into doing nothing but the crit toughness build.

might be just me, buts that boring and stale

u w0t.

As someone who has every achievement unlocked, I can comfortably say that nothing you say based on unlocks matters. Achievements don’t mean anything.

Is this… Is this a joke post? I don’t mean to be insulting, but these are some very, very hot takes backed by bragging about getting an achievement. You’re genuinely coming across as a parody of a toxic reddit elitist bragging about their Vermintide banners.

As for your balance suggestions… Calls to nerf Zealot of all things? Referring to Holy Revenant, an ability that does literally nothing unless you die in a specific situation, as ‘infinite immortality’? Claiming Surge Staff is OP, a weapon that can barely hit 8 targets and does 25% damage to anything unarmored? It’s one thing to give the incredibly lukewarm take of “Power Sword+Bolter OP!” that hardly holds up in Damnation, but you’ve really gone the extra mile and I’m really struggling to see where you’re coming from if this isn’t trolling about the most popular builds and items.

I have to disagree with you on nerfing power sword it is only the best melee in the game because other options are laughably underpowered or horrible to use because of their animations. What needs to happen is have all other melee weapon be given a buff to make them useable.

Also you need to knock it off with that narcissist crap Mr Top 0.3% don’t be stoking it in a open forum have some respect for others plz.

i dunno i had that achievement 3 days after the game launched. woulda had it sooner but i had to keep beating every mission on damnation on cycle till i had all 7 cus it doesnt tell you what you did and what you didnt. honestly i didnt even know the achievement existed before i was halfway done with it. game is way too easy. i think your crazy if you think only 0.3% of people can do this. also the heresy one is not 0.7% its 33.7% you probably just looked at the steam achievement on your post game summery and thats almost always wrong so its anything below top 33.7% maybe more like 25% not 0.3%.

anyways. the game sucks without a scoreboard. i got bored so fast without one.

It’s always amusing to see the blatant lies and gaslighting that people spew to try to defend their overpower sword crutch.

not only that ;D look at his name in the image… “Me & the bots” xD
I think he got “big balls” to name himself like that… but probably small “pe pe” ;D
…& we all know the bigger PePe wins ;D

btw. It’s like 1,3% for steam from what I see when I look at mine… not 0,3 ;D if he meant Inquisitorial Legend one :stuck_out_tongue: [I completed it by accident to … didn’t know i missed one type of mission & didn’t really care for it… but still as long as you play you will get it eventually]
…still meh :stuck_out_tongue:

Still fev things that he pointed make sense :wink:

I can’t convince any of my friends to keep playing this game, and the gear progression system is the core of the problem. They say that it’s blatant that fatshark isn’t respecting the players’ time and are dumping the game in favor of ones where the can ACTUALLY GET THE GEAR THAT THEY WANT TO USE rather than said gear being a mere pipe dream.

Yea, I’m kind of with them there. My enthusiasm for this game is waning quickly because I’ve played all of the levels, I’m not ambitious when it comes to knocking out higher difficulties, and gear progression is basically just logging in once an hour to see if you won the lottery.

I love higher difficulty in general but so much of what is making damnation ‘challenging’ right now is the potato servers and bugs. Bugs everywhere.

Things like silent hounds instantly warping onto your face are getting really old. (Literally just happened) Wasn’t the run ender (That was our two teammates jumping off a one way into a horde…) but stuff like that is incredibly frustrating and can cause damage for no reason or fault of your own whatsoever.

Other things like enemies ignoring the stumble from charges and costing you a wound (And potentially the run) are also getting old.

Also if I could choose one enemy to delete from the game entirely snipers would be thrown into the deepest pits of Hades, never to return.

Yeah, the snipers are working exactly as I had envisioned Warplock Jezzails would in Vermintide and to a degree I am glad they aren’t in Vermintide.

Took all of three seconds reading this post to conclude that OP is one of those players who gets hard carried through damnation but doesn’t realize it. Further reading of his class interpretations and proposed nerfs only further cemented that conclusion.

I have 4 characters at level 30. According to steam achievements, that makes me a top 0.3% player.

It’s okay, just because I’m a 0.3% player, I don’t expect you to bow and scrape… much… And you can keep the kissing of the hem of my garment to a minimum.

Brain Burst still kills all the important specials that you cant peek against in 1 cast on damnation. The theory that brain burst is somehow terrible at damnation is blatantly false especially with the level 30 talent.

Its also still as good against crushers and bulwarks. Everyone takes long to kill those on damnation, the fact it completely ignores armor on crushers is amazing. Against bulwarks specially its the single best button in the game aside from surge.

because flamethrower is niche and not useful against anything you really want dead - really only shines against melee trash which is the single least important unit in the game. Its literally health on legs that follows you around. Why would you range kill that? If youve seen it get crazy kills on armored dudes - thats because of the zealot exploit which i already mentioned should get fixed.

LOL, please play more befor spreading bad feedback like that :joy: :see_no_evil:
Or be honest :yawning_face:

The only thing thats 33.5% is the number of people on forums claiming they play and win damnation (like here ;)). From 8:00 to 11:00 today i barely found 4 people to play damnation with. Even Heresy is not exactly populated outside of main time.

The current latest number for the heresy achievement (NOT the difficulty 5 damnation penance - no achievement for that) is 1.5% which was updated today over night from tuesday to wednesday following what i am assuming to be steam maintenance (as was already pointed out by someone else) - it was 0.8% before that.

But yea, the only thing thats 33% is people CLAIMING they play it. LMAO!

Honestly for all i care they can nerf flamethrower. Its a garbage weapon anyway.

Might force people to interact with the incredibly easy melee system (compared to VT) so they can finally stop dying to a couple of melees.

Very constructiv man :clap: bravo

Just FYI there is actually a known bug in the known bugs section about how the 7/7 map completion pennance are bugged for many people which is probably a large factor in the amount of % that have actually completed the Heresy achievement.
