[PC] Vermintide 2 - Patch 1.2.1 BETA & Hotfix #2

Green, Blue, and Orange have now been renamed to Jade, Celestial, and Amber dust. These correspond to one of the Orders of Magic in the Old World.

That’s like calling a Gatorade/Powerade by it’s actual flavour, instead of what colour it is. You just don’t do that.

Woot!
excited
Not sure pyro really needed a buff, but I like the fixes and actually most other changes.
For all the naysayers, you actually delivered. Better late than never.
I like the content implemented from suggestions or mods, especially, shows that you listen.
Though I’d still prefer a different system for trolls.
The renaming… eh. Whatever.
And now bots are finally better than most players. :smiley:
… Though why not use the old closed beta version for testing? I still have that installed. :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Fixed an issue where shooting with the pistol of the Rapier and Pistol, would break block for the duration of shooting when playing as a client.

Can’t test it myself at the moment. Is this related to the delay after firing before you can block again, or something else? Please tell me the pistol is now usable!

Good work all around guys.

@Fatshark_Hedge Were the red drop rates changed at all for this beta? I’ve been doing Legend Deeds with twitch mode on for the last 5-6 hours with premade 4 man teams. I’ve opened around 30+ Legend vaults, not a single red between any of us? Are we just really unlucky tonight?

Nope, no change to drop rates.

I’ve asked about the Fireball staff though.

as a whc main from the launch of the game, i’m ok with whc being op. I’ve always hated the elf even from v1 (character, not in game performance, although i was never a fan of any of her weapons).

so yes, let whc be OP. forever!!! (and always :D) instead of being the last turkey in the shop*

I think you can fire your pistol now without breaking block, very useful. You could only do it as the host before, but it works on clients now as well.

Well, to be fair, it’s an English lass trying to do a Irish accent, if I remember correctly from her interview video on youtube. But it ended up being a slightly bad Scottish accent.

Kinda wish Kruber had a scouse accent lol

no shes definitely scoutish :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s actually a specific kind of upper-crust Scottish accent, and she did a pretty good job with it, according to what some folks told me who have that accent. I do love it, though, so much better than everyone (even people based on Germans for some reason) having a Generic English Accent.

Fair enough, I could of sworn when I watched her interview though, the voice actress, she said she was trying to do an Irish accent? Her normal accent sounds nothing like her character though xD I will admit Salty boi has some of the best voice lines though…

Either way,

The eyes glowing in the dark thingie…thank you.:star_struck::star_struck::star_struck::star_struck:

Really looking forward to the patch going live

“Buffed Bots” ? So being FUNCTIONAL is a “Buff” yes? Gifted with last reds? Its not that the “awful” playerbase has grinded hundreds of hours for the miniscule chance of receiving the weapon they want and now the only thing that changes is the ability to “upgrade” orange crap into 100% red stats and color the icon red. With a bit of rerolling you could min max that prior to these changes pretty much the same. That you have to burn 5 REAL REDS for that in a game where u can have 900 hours and barely a page full of reds …that doesnt change…oh wait it does …now you can refurbish all the useless trinket dupes to reduce that page size to 1 row. In fact rerolling a orange to perfect stats is more likely than getting a red weapon for the character you need it for… Double Dagger Red Drop im staring at you with empty elven eyes.

How are newcomers or casusals concerned with RED ITEMS? They dont grind hundreds of chests in Champion or attempt to own everything in LEGEND arent they? So how is that even an issue? Reality check very much?

Use your brain before you talk…

Crafting red’s is more of the same stupid crafting system we already have. There is already a lack of content/rewards/grind, just because of that system.

So 1. Grinding 900h chests is not for everyone , because the system isn’t attractive in any way. Every newcomer is able to get full/max geared easily if he reaches lvl 30.
What left? Grind reds and dust to craft more reds… wow…

  1. Functional? You mean broken in some ways right now… Bots are better than the most players. They were:
  • able to dance with bosses ( not the CS atleast)
  • shoot specials immediately (faster then a player)
  • teleport to geh player
  • being a bench for bombs/ pots
  • can slay through every enemies
  • are able to use their ultimates in bad situations
  • to use their range weapons without FF

They can now:

  • kill specials better than they already could / save the player better and faster than before
  • hold grims and tomes

So why should anyone of you progamers play with randoms anymore? The most here already play solo or full-grpd. “QP with randoms is pain Mimimi.”
A lot of ppl cried about the playerbase drops and spammed steamcharts here. So why would newcomers / casuals stay, if the system is not attractive and the whole vet - community gives aF about them?

There could be much more players and the game could be more alive and would live longer, if more ppl would be that kind and play with randoms , give them some tips and maybe even finish challenges with them.

I gave enough feedback and wrote down enough idea’s to make the system better for everyone.

But hey… GIMME MY REDS! GIMME MY BROKEN BOTS! I WANT MY LOOT AND DO SOME SOLO RUNS! Coop-game? Not anymore probably…
If FS just wants to have some smiling 1000h + vets, who’ll play this game in any situation , just because they don’t have other stuff to do… fine… but that won’t help the game, the playerbase and the future of this franchise, if nothing changes.

Zoom function of huntsman bow is back to being useless again as zoom doesn’t even begin before bow string is fully stretched.

Not sure if this is intended but I sure dont hope so. takes 3 seconds to get a zoomed shot available.

I guess making huntsman even more useless makes sense when calculation how many onions it takes to make a whole rocket of banana pie sail to the zoo and feed the space monkeys in their natural habitat.

No she’s definitely not trying to do an Irish accent.

the amusing thing is, since no matter WHAT fatshark does to improve their game, people like you will always find a way to berate them and trashtalk them down, discouraging future players from even picking up the game. if, like you say, so many people are crying about playerbase dropping and no reason for newcomers/casuals staying etc, then making the bots worthy companions IS a pretty damn good move on their part - solo players coming into the game in the future, finding it empty of players, will be able to enjoy the game and complete the levels still on their own.

right now, new players won’t be able to enjoy v1 because not many are playing and groups are hard to find. maybe in 3 to 5 years time when i want to relive the glory days of vermintide2, i’ll be able to do so without needing to find other players to complete a full book run.

Also trashtalking other players wanting QoL changes or bad design/bugs fixed. Just because you can live and adapt to bad design/bugs doesn’t mean they’re still not bad design/bugs.
