I know we have another thread for the original Vermintide, but today is the official launch for pre-orders. Does anyone want to play some later? You can now accrue experience, etc, and keep it!
I’ll be on when I get home from the gym tonight after work, probably around 5-6 Central time.
I will also be handing out discord invite to my Qt3 channel. If you’d like one, please send me a PM
Edit: If you haven’t purchased yet, I got it for $21.05 on Green Man by going to the VIP section and redeeming a voucher for 22% off on top of the 10% already. https://www.greenmangaming.com/vip/
We will go live at Twitch 18:00 CET today (in 2 hours) talking about the Pre-order beta and also showing off a new trailer! Ask your questions here and we'll try to answer them! https://t.co/jUGfkoVnUb
I’ve put a few hours into the closed test. I’m not sure how I feel about it. I’ve been struggling a LOT with the graphics. The FPS is fine (4k on a GTX1080), it’s the quality. There’s this weird… checkered pattern that sometimes comes out when looking at fog / smoke, and also when looking around light sources. Super annoying. The game in places is also VERY dark, even at moderate gamma settings. Conversely, the “Farm Level” which starts near dawn, I think, is absolutely blinding while you’re in the fields.
I think I’ve finally gotten my graphics settings to where they need to be to address most of this, but it’s hard to tell in starting area. Of course, now the game is offline so I can’t even verify my settings.
Sharpen was ON, Light shafts were OFF, I turned down SSAO to medium, and I might even have turned Bloom OFF. Guess I’ll get to experiment all over again later today.
Yeah, playing Bardin must be extra fun on that level. I noticed they shut him up a lot in in the sequel, which is good. He was way too annoying in Vermintide 1, especially with all his bullshit made-up words for everything.
“The thaggoraki are swarming!” Huh, I actually spelt that right.
We always laughed at his bullshit but I took great pleasure in hearing a videogame character with an accent close to my own for once. Not to mention, it was the elf that got the Scottish accent. Subversive, Fatshark.
I’ll take an invite! My gaming hours are probably a bit later than most though (11pm or later EST) and I have no mic, so I’m liable to aggro patrols and then run away silently.
