Question, do you play Sienna or along Sienna a lot?
Never really play her, most of my runs lately have been just to test how itâs doing, so theyâve been solo. Unchained is often there, but it occurs even when sheâs not in the match. It can be connected to hordes, but can also occur at weird times, like at the end of a horde, or literally just walking across a room. I think Iâve even had it when standing still.
Iâve had frame stutters with her around. So thatâs why I ask.
The Fire walk drop my fps by 30
Frame Rate drops for me are usually a combination of heavy FX, Green Fire + Fire Walk or LOTS of DoT things on fire + poison etc. So Horde on fire + flamer causes probably the biggest FPS drops.
Itâs possible it might be thereâs just more FX heavy things at once. Lingering Flames + Flame Throwers + Poison + Horde is going to tax FPS coupled with much higher Health means things are on fire(and on screen) for longer.
Playing Sienna on her own, no matter how incendiary she is never drop the rate until something else FX heavy comes along.
Meh⌠the new DLC (and FLC) for Warhammer Total War 2 was announced 
One thing I donât get though.
When one complains that legend is too hard and champion too easy, and that they want to decrease legend difficulty, what about those in legend that cannot go to Cata (cause difficulty) and find legend right atm?
So legend would be too easy for them after a nerf.
And this exact same guys, arenât they elitist for thoose having difficulty in champion?
What about the jump between Cata and legend if legend gets nerfed?
Would it be better to farm full champion instead of 1 grim legend? And in champion you can increase difficulty and garentee emperor chest with twitch mod.
This way, you learn the gap and once improved go to legend. Repeat for Cata.
Do you know that while only Emperorâs chest can give reds, all the Legend vaults can do that?
You HAVE to pay for that jump. As it is, Cata doesnât stand as next logical difficulty progression step rather a buy in offshoot that sets itself as default difficulty of that offshoot. What Cata stands for is normal difficulty to people who want challenge.
Yes but first ones on legend have less chance to give you red (peasant commoner even soldier iirc)
So it is logical to have to pay to enjoy the game , when there is 4 whole difficulty below, and Cata is not even that hard, all bugs aside?
For me, legend without bug (spawn no where, no sound, etcâŚ) is the right difficulty. Champ easy and Cata very hard. Im ok, with 7/3 or 6/4 win rates. Only bugs and dont touch nothing more.

Thereâs a catch though, this game isnât newly released. And I canât judge Cata difficulty, I actually kinda refuse, but thatâs another point. So as I was saying, if this were a release, heck no, even now, I fully agree with your right to request more challenge for yourself. What I will object is taking a difficulty that has been the way it was for least 5 months and saying that peopleâs effort is no longer enough for those rewards. No one has the moral right to do that, not you, or me or even Fatshark. And I stand on that principle not because itâs too hard, but because I believe it isnât right.
I believe you have moral right to request challenge or least tools to make yourself the challenge. And I will stand for your right to request it. However, if FS statement, that Cata will be highest official challenge is not enough for you, I donât think they can deliver it for you what you want.
That doesnât solve the gap in difficulty.
When they granted access to legend to anyone because of Dodge, nobody complained. A lot of people will look for challenge before jumping to cata, and legend is that.
But I think this argument will go nowhere unless fatshark shows us player base repartition in difficulty.
I m pretty sure there was way more people in legend that in recruit and vet combined.
I got it is frustrating to have to go down, as well as a lot of people would get ennoyed if they removed glitched experience and achievement.
But in the long run, it is way better to get an intermediate difficulty, even if it means some disturbed pride, than a nightmare way to easy and a legend where a huge portion of the player base is.
And remember difficulty is artificial because of bugs and overturned beastmens, so it will go down anyway once they are patched
You donât play Legend to prepare you for Cata. You play Cata to prepare you for Cata.
Or you play Legend + Deeds, or Legend + Twitch, or Legend FoW, or Legend + Deeds + Twitch. There are multiple steps between Legend and Cata, even without considering modded realm.
EDIT: Also, I believe Fatshark said that Cata was intended to be beyond the game progression. So the game shouldnât be trying to prepare you for it; itâs just there if you want to challenge yourself. But Legend is supposed to be part of the progression.

It should still respect a gaussian progression. If everyone is in legend, why bother with difficulty?
But not everyone is in Legend. Where do you get that idea?
I think most people who arenât in Cata are in Champion or Legend, but Recruit & Veteran are basically just an extended tutorial, so thatâs to be expected.
Iâm getting too drunk to carry on this conversation, but here goes.
Fatshark already has proven they canât do that with 1.6 difference between Champ and Legend.
Blaberring below till next quote:
I really donât know about Dodge, I never found myself âgoodâ at it and compensated with other tools. As of now, with 250ms delay on dodge and 250ms window I begin to finally see when Iâm not a host what people are complaining about it now, it feels wonky with 100 ping. But we can talk about this different time, after I play more without being host for this week.
Along with reevaluation of rewards. If itâs gonna just screw over everyone whoâs ânot good enoughâ Fatshark deserves to fail. For something that is called 2.0, it really doesnât feel like it.
You are not listening. Seriously, itâs to point of frustrating to talk to you. In simplest of terms, Old champion and New champion have more in common than New champion and Old legend. People liked old legend, I liked old legend because I could get home tired the hell out from work and still semi carry. Heck, new legend is not bad, but thereâs NOTHING that offers the experience and reward of old legend right now.
No no no, you donât get to call old legend glitched experience, or I get to call all QQ cancels, dodge dancing, dodge jumping, ANY kind of animation canceling a glitched experience and request ANY progress made to be removed. Start form 0 power again, with no items. I really donât want to do that, but youâre pushing for it yourself and come on, itâs not fair.
I agree as long as rewards are appropriate. (iâll tackle again the pride statement)
I played V1 just this week, Iâm noob there with lvl 21 (started with 20 this week), I familiarized with controls in Engines of War on recruit and then moved to try Horn of Magus on Nightmare, gotta say it felt about what Champion feels in V2, so I donât know where are you pulling âtoo easyâ part. Cataclysm I couldnât try out properly since surprise surprise I ainât geared well enough and rarity does matter in that game more by looks of it and I donât believe itâs getting extra points for V1 item system, sure triple trait system is kinda cooler than 2 properties and trait system in V2, but damage being tied to item rarity is CRAP.
Huge part of remaining playerbase is. Majority of all playerbase that ever played V2 probably never passed Veteran by my guess (since I donât have statistics access). I donât want to try diving deeper as to why you want to consider people who stayed to play this not that popular and niche game as average players. Itâs kinda useless topic IMO.
Please, I really donât want to go hunt down the HP change table, Mass increase change table, nerfs to certain weapons, the terror event scaling change, dodge rework, tracking, hyperdensity and aggresiveness changes. And ALL difficulty is artificial by itâs nature.
Like literally. Vermintide 2 is artificial, it hasnât ânaturallyâ occurred and Fatshark is mining and distributing it.
Ok, back to âprideâ
I want to direct you to this reddit thread: Reddit - Dive into anything
From it I want to direct to two slides on analysis of the survey:
And:
Heck, even 17th slide.
Most people want to play at difficulty theyâre comfortable. These changes took away what was 1.6 Legend difficulty. Are you saying itâs ok to alienate theoretically over a THIRD of the playerbase by taking away difficulty they were comfortable at?

Iâll record from now on the games, and let you know if I find something. Sometimes the sounds go very glitchy as well. I got a firewalk stuck location at convocation, tomorrow iâll upload the pics.
If legend becomes easier and boring to some players, there are deeds, weeklies, and twitch mode to make it more difficult while still getting decent rewards. If you need it harder after doing deeds + twitch then youâre ready to start in Cata. The rewards are all the same at this point anyway.
Legend difficulty right now is hard. My breakdown is that it is 25% due to bugs, 30% due to overtuned beastmen, 35% due to teams just not sticking together consistently throughout the map, and 5% due to (I think) players not using very good builds given the new game play changes. Hopefully this will all change.
