Verm 1 item system was better than Verm 2

I think we can all agree that the Vermintide one bounty board is way superior to the current daily and weekly quest system.

the grind up to 300 hero power is a real pain

This was the real problem for me it’s just handled wrong in my opinion. Vermintide one’s simple system of: Dmg changes with quality allowed for a much faster way to the higher difficulties. Now you have to grind up your every character and gear to play and have fun in legend. I think that this is not going to help this game getting and keeping players quite the opposite.

The core idea of hero power to limit the performance of maxed out players in lower difficulties is a good idea.

Now, we also don’t want the progression to be a rollercoaster of relearning everything, which is why each difficulty acts similarly when progressing through them. You start slightly underpowered and have a slight journey until you hit a stable output as you cap out. The output differences are rather manageble and more importantly; they match between difficulties quite well so the progression shouldn’t be jarring. This is the main reason we have a scaling system. To make sure the progression is smooth, the gap between difficulties is manageble and that weapon performance isn’t wastly different and require relearning as you jump difficulties.

Stagger is scaled the hardest since it’s judged to be the most jarring. An important thing to remember is that eventhough we apply the scale to the player, the enemies restistance is tweaked to match.
