Engines of War on Hard. 3 Tomes and 1 Grimoire. Rolled my first 7 and got the orange item and the achievement!

Re: Looking for group
Nice! I ran Black Powder on hard and got the key for my orange shield and hammer. I'd prefer a shield and axe, but the hammer is better than what I had. The traits suck, though. I need some oranges to melt down.

Very Nice, TheMix!
And like you and Blackhawk, I ran Black Powder on hard and cleared two contracts at once. But I only rolled a 1, so got a green.

I made an attempt at Ramparts on nightmare. It went poorly. I'm getting a little frustrated - the character I prefer is pretty thoroughly neutered in nightmare, while I am simply not all that skilled with the alternative.

Re: Looking for group
Failed The White Rat on Hard. Bot stupidity FTL!
Two of the bots were at about 1/3rd health with health packs. And there was a potion on the ground. Right before the ogre. Neither one would heal. So, naturally, they went down pretty fast as soon as the ogre showed up.
Dropped to Normal so I could finish the contract. I'll save that frustration for another day.

Man the Ramparts on Nightmare with bots. Got a little iffy a couple of times. Managing them can be a bit tricky.

Re: Looking for group
Just a heads up. I'm not playing Vermintide much if at all lately. I got sick and when I recovered I took a week off video games to get caught up on work and such. After that I kind of lost interest in the game.
So thanks for letting me play with you guys and sorry for bailing. Good luck with your rolls.

Re: Looking for group
Managed to get my orange bow for Kerillian (who I never get to play in groups). Almost immediately paid for the ammo expansion upgrade. I wish the ammo count wasn't so low.
From testing in the Inn, it seems like the poison has a splash effect. Is this actually the case, or just a visual effect?

Re: Looking for group
I believe that that is an effect. I occasionally seem to see my bot create small clouds that will sometimes take out other rats.

Re: Looking for group
After several tries, got through Wizard's Tower w/grimoire twice.
Note to self: unless playing with all people (no bots), take the first grimoire. I could never get the bots to follow me to the second grimoire.

Re: Looking for group
Try not dropping through the hole. Go left instead of right. Then around the long way (it's a big circle). They might follow you then.
Isn't that one on Hard? I applaud your gumption. I haven't felt brave enough yet to tackle The Wizard's Tower on Hard with bots. I'm expecting them to be terrible. "Bots don't jump."

Re: Looking for group
Just got stomped twice in a row due to bots. The first was on hard because they engaged the rat ogre in a five foot wide tunnel (and because I hadn't found a single ogre bomb or healing item in that run.) The second was on Ramparts. Yes, bots, it is a good idea on Nightmare to engage a horde of Stormvermin in the middle of a glass cloud. I'm sure that will work out beautifully.
I'm bleeding. Does this please you?

I'm thinking of trying to get a quiet/silent weapon (probably a crossbow) that does massive damage and can zoom. To see if I can use it to pick those guys off from a distance. The problem is that when I get close enough to throw a bomb, my bots usually charge in. I need to be able to try and kill some of those Stormvermin from a distance (and hope that the rest don't aggro).

Re: Looking for group
Vermintide can be had for $6.45 (higher than average) on Humble Bundle. Great price for just that game plus all the others its coming with. Very tempted, I just don't have time to play it.

Well that sucked. Tome, Grimoire, at least one cursed die.... But no way am I going to be able to protect the wards on Hard. Didn't even come close.

Well @#$%. Just did a little reading and found out that I only needed to protect one ward. That would have been easy.

Sorry - I should have mentioned that I was able to succeed with only one ward left.TheMix wrote:Well @#$%. Just did a little reading and found out that I only needed to protect one ward. That would have been easy.
By the way - I tried staying in the center and shooting the skaven that were attacking the wards and it doesn't work very well. Maybe if two of us were shooting, but not with just one.

Re: Looking for group
Well, count me in!
I'll likely run the wizard. I've had much better luck with her than the dwarf. Honestly, I think I just suck at the dwarf. I find that if I fireball the crap out of enemies (especially hordes) at a distance, I can thin them down significantly, then melee when they're up close. I've also learned that the fireball (charged attack) itself does very, very little friendly fire damage passing through people (like two points) unless you're actually inside of the AoE when it hits the ground or a special (hitting regular rats doesn't detonate it.) Not to say that I won't avoid shooting people, but if someone walks in front of a fireball it will only do a small fraction of what a single Skavenslave hit would do.

Re: Looking for group
Today, one of the new quests is for an Orange trinket - while equipped, Luck is increased by 100%.
Looks like that's for increasing your chance of a loot die. Looks good but I don't know what the base luck of finding a loot die is.

I wonder if those trinkets are cumulative if multiple people carry them?

Re: Looking for group
If it`s the trinket I`m thinking of, it only increases the odds of a die dropping, and only the person opening the chest increases the chance. I`m not sure how loot rats work. Possibly whoever gets the killing blow.Blackhawk wrote:I may have to log in and see if I can't finish up my current quest.

In any case, the luck trinkets are not cumulative.

Ran Morr on Normal (BD jumped in halfway through), then Ramparts on Nightmare. I unlocked a really nice blunderbuss for the Reiksguard. Healing, 11% chance to split the projectile, and 99% chance to penetrate targets. It's now hoard mower. The healing isn't ideal (I prefer on-kill for high damage, slow weapons, and it is on-hit), but for a character that's usually a bot, it's fine.
Took the trinket quest. Double the chance for loot dice = probably one per level, and that means better rolls will be had by all.

Re: Looking for group
Some good tonight, some bad.
I did a quick test, and if you go back by the inventory chest near the spawn point, switch to a new weapon, then switch right back, it refills your ammo. There are a couple of levels (Wheat & Chaff, Waterfront) where you pass back by the spawn during the run. It is an easy way to get a full ammo refill in a pinch.

Re: Looking for group
Day 3 of no key contracts. They aren't doing very well with enticing me to play.
And my irritation is actually making me less interested in buying the DLC, not more. So if that's their plan, that's not working too well either.
