Vermintide 1 + 2

Also, remind me not to play the mage when trying to show newbies around. lol

Wednesday didn't have the biggest of turnouts, with a lot of people saying that weeknights were rough. I just checked bottle rockets, and it starts at 7pm PDT Saturdays. Want to shoot for 9pm Sat? (I can't make Dec 24 or Dec 31 though)

I'm in - that time is perfect for me.

I went ahead and paid for the January humble monthly bundle early and got a copy of Vermintide to gift to my son so we started playing it together yesterday. Feel free to join us whenever you see us on. My son's 10 and has really taken to the Wayfarer and, according to him, he's amazing at the game. According to me he's the guy I have to chase and try to protect while he goes berserk 100 yards ahead of everyone else. Either way, we still make it through most of the missions in one piece.

So after not getting too much to happen on Wed and Sat, we actually got a couple of rounds in on Sunday. Wednesday seemed more difficult for people to make, so I'll try to make a regular Saturday event in the steam group starting in January.

Stop chasing, or you're going to have a hard time if you ever raise the difficulty

The new maps and various updates are pretty nice. I'd be up for a few rounds.

I'm down. Am I still on peoples friends list? I saw the event but didnt see anyone in game. After lack luster Deathwing, I could use some Vermin.

I think each event only had a couple of people, and turnout is better on the days I didn't schedule events. :O Not scheduling any more until January, unless someone else wants to take initiative. We could just do it l4d2 style, and send announcements whenever we have 2 or 3 LFG.

Ok, I think I've remembered the basics of playing melee to keep a team alive on easy. Block, shove, charged attack... block, shove, charged attack... next up is stacking Now I just need to remember how to dodge hook rats and rat ogres.

I just picked this up and I would be interested in playing. Do people generally meet up on curse, or just through steam?

We don't seem to have an official means of getting together. I'll post this for tonight. Click on the image to join.

Sure, I'll pop on tonight.

I am tentative but would love to get in on some of this if I can. or Deathwing

Whispa, didn't realize you had the new DLC. That mean you can invite us in?

Bought it. Tried the first two maps by myself. With some voicecomm and some Goodjers...looks like fun. More like 3D Gauntlet to me for some reason than L4D2. But hey, I really like both...

10pm EST? Does that work?

I am going to try and make it! I will be unable to vouch for my level of sobriety as I will have been at a christmas meet up beforehand.

Actual Edit: Quote is not edit.

Supposedly if someone in the party has the DLC, they can invite everyone else in to play that map.

I have the DLC and will try to make it at that time. I can't 100% commit though at this time

Will you guys be on Curse if you are in game?

I may be a couple minutes late but will be on tonight.

This is why I try and have all the details in once place.

Yep, my bad, learn to read whispa! Sorry I can't make it tonight. I hope to be on this weekend or definitely Monday, Tuesday night.

Had a great time tonight and would love to continue grouping with you guys. I'll also be free this weekend.

I am officially on break until January 9. I am...well...7 hours later than EST cause I live in Greece. If you see me online playing ANYTHING invite me/message me. Hopefully it is me and not one of my kids, although if it is my kids tell them to GET DADDY FOR VERMINTIDE.

One of the new dwarf maps is really great. With all the dead dwarf and skaven bodies lying around with a thin layer of snow on them, has a great feel of a harsh battle that took place. Reminds me of the mines of moria story from Lords of the Ring.

Anyone on tonight?

IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE LOG IN TODAY IF AT ALL POSSIBLE FOR THE FINAL WINTER WONDERLOOT RWEARD

Spoiler:

It's a trinket that reduces the grimoire health penalty significantly, and grimoires are key to playing once you get past just trying to complete whatever map you're on for the first couple of times.

I bought the DLC, if you just got the game you should skip it because:

* The two that matter (Drachenfels and Karak Azgaraz with 3 new maps each) ARE NOT ON SALE (15% on Drachenfels which is older dlc)
* I got both in a moment of weakness, so if you want to try the maps, I can host them for you.
* The new drops in them are available when completing the map even if you don't own the dlc.

You should get the DLC if:
* Not being able to pick up a key contract really bothers you.
* You've played the original maps to death and still want to play more vermintide.

Having said that, I ran "the dungeon" once on nightmare and once on easy, and the section with the torch was intense enough I was having tons of fun. (We failed at the rat ogre on nightmare, it knocked two of us into hordes and the other two couldn't salvage the situation.)

Edit: How do we get channels created in Curse? I couldn't figure it out/couldn't find a vermintide channel. I swear it wasn't there before, lol.

The curse channel is in the Coop sub-section.
