Developer Poll: A Parting of the Waves map intro and outro opinion

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Gameplay Feedback
1

Hello! We wanted to have a quick gauge of what the community thinks of the intro and outro to the new map, A Parting of the Waves! Y’know, with the crashy boat ride on the way in, the boat escape at the end instead of the Bridge of Shadows, etc!

  • I loved the unique intro/outro and would like to see more of that in the future
  • I liked it but I don’t want to see more maps with this style of intro/outro
  • I didn’t care one way or another about the special intro/outro
  • I didn’t like the special intro/outro and don’t want more like it.

I loved it, but I don’t dislike the Bridge of Shadows if that’s the easiest way to make it work

Would love to see Oleysha’s Coach once more though

I can’t really vote on this as it is a case of “It’s cool but I wish I could skip the intro”

The intro is really cool the first 3 times you see it but then it takes ages, especially if you’re constantly replaying the map for challenges, so the option to skip it would be great.

I do really love the outro though, and the uniqueness depending on who the 5th (un-picked) character is.

I think the idea of having members of the party split up is also neat and something not explored much. We start off split up, which is cool as hell, only to immediately reunite and for standard ratclicking to commence.

Future missions involving teams of two or even all four players diverging to hit an objective would be really cool!

As someone who dislikes the overuse Bridge of Shadows exit (like how it’s shoehorned into the Back To Ubersreik maps…) this more narratively focused map exit is way more preferable.

I’ve always said that I prefer Oleysia’s stage coach or exit by boat outros from Vermintide 1 as it felt more immersive and narratively tight than there being a convenient magical pillar at the end of every level.

The more narrative introduction is nice too, if only to show how we got to the level.

But the most important thing I love best is how you incorporated the 5th unused party member into the narrative finally!! Please make use of the 5th member in all levels!!

(this is an opinion based solely upon watching YouTube playthroughs… because I’m on consoles and the game is broken there)

Cool as that sounds, I worry how that affects bots and solo players.

They help the storytelling, but the quality of the maps is more important.
If you can afford the dev time, you could change the outro of the engines. I always found it strange the bridge of shadows being on that island instead of the ship.

I liked the intro a lot.

But not the outro.

EDIT: How do I vote in the poll? :neutral_face:

I’m in the same position with the poll, for although I do like the outro, I also wonder how I do vote in this poll?
