Xbox One Player here.
One would have hope Vermintide 2 wasn’t a mess like the first game that never got patches for the biggest problem, but nop. Vermintide 2 is worst then the first game for now (I know it is new, but I’ve been told this the whole first Vermintide life spawn).
-
Game loading while joining randoms can be as long as 8 minutes. Seems to be worst on the first mission.
-
Joining players making the BOT disappear makes the game way harder then it should. Especially when it takes up to 8 minutes for someone to join.
-
Game freezing constantly, sometimes even shutting down my console. Seems to happen a lot more on Quickmatch and on certain maps. I haven’t play a day since release without having a crash of some sort.
-
Ennemies magically spawning in front of you.
-
Ennemies missing their hits that still hit you (you can see the tip of their weapon far from your face and you still take damages.
-
Taking damage before the enemy finish his hit animation.
Some more annoying problems:
-
Bosses starting a hit animation on another players and suddenly twist over you and hit you
-
Too many special unit spawn, sometimes we get the feeling that the game is calculating how to make the players fail and it gives a sense of unfairness. This is like playing against a BOT on a chess game, or any game that BOT have an advantage (such as a memory game for exemple). Having to kill 6 flames throwers and 3 assassins in about 2 minutes can get really annoying.
-
Game not warning you of special unit (lack of sound effect or character speech) resulting in a whole group surprised of a hook rat/assassin or poison bomb. The leech doesn’t seem to have any problem thought, the sound is always there to warn you.
-
When joining randoms, it feel like the game absolutely want you to join a lobby in which your chosen character is already chosen.
-
Wave of ennemies not coming/slowly leaking 1 by 1 through a long part of a level resulting in a lot of backstabbing.
-King of being forced to play quickmatch for maximum rewards chances. My BOT are better then 90% of all the players I met and when I say better, it is A LOT better. I was able to solo a champion mission with them (The elf temple in the forest), never succeeded any with randoms on quickmatch.
-
Almost always the same missions on quickmatch. (Everyone I’ve played with keep complaining about this one)
-
Lack of different mission style such as Black Powder or the grain level, and Survival mode
Vermintide 2 is a fun game, but lack a lot. Could be a lot better if at least some of those things were fixed/revisited.
Any of you experienced or feel the same as what I mentioned above? (At least some as I’ve seen similar post around reddit/steam).
I was level 118 on the first Vermintide game. I ain’t a professional player but I am good at the game and I feel like Vermintide 2 is a lot more difficult then the first game but mostly for cheap reason… it feels like an artificial difficulty.
