Hey guys~! If you guys are wondering "What on Earth is Vermintide? Well it is actually child of Warhammer series and Left 4 Dead. So far the beta is awesome. It feature lots of good melee combat. Any L4D or warhammer fans would appreciate this. It has some loot element that keeps the gameplay fresh, Referring to Fatshark (the dev), there are 8000 different weapons to try out that you will alter your playing style. Anyone playing the beta or the game please feel free to add me or whoever in the following list:

I'm not sure I can recommend vermintide at this time. It's fun, melee is well done . but its still a grind with rng loot and all that. And with loot being main focus, playing 40 mins map just for a white or failing it at 30 mins and not getting anything are quite punishing things. I wish that at least if we are near the end and got wiped out, we at least get a junk white, so that we can at least combine it for a chance at loot.
Then the usual hard CC of The specials like l4d2 but one of them can cc you and drag you around map until you die while your team mates try to catch up to free you, with long loading ranged weapons and melee focused combat, that chase would take ages. Hoping at least the Pack Master works like the Jockey in L4D2 where you can try to struggle and slow him down or fight against the direction he's going. I am not a fan of hard CC in general.
I played an hour and half grinding same map last night. But then again. I was level one and fellow players all lvl 1 also. Not sure if the RNG loot is a good idea. There's 13 maps on release, but with the focus on loot, we might end up with players focusing on farming the most efficient map and ignore the rest. So it feels like unless you have kakis to play with, be prepared to struggle with finding pubs to play the maps you want.
I am definitely enjoying the game and planning to spend the rest of the week playing. But I am thinking whether to refund after beta ends. Very fun game, but I am not sure if the RNG would be improved, and especially since Fat Shark is known to dump their games halfway through. I hope I am wrong though.

I do agree with you on the RNG loot and most prolly players are gonna to farm the most efficient map which i think its the first map (horn of sigma) for the 3 tomes and 2 grimoire. there are ways to improve of it. to prevent player keep farming a particular map, fatshark could implement what D3 did (bonus map). RNG looting might leads to some further crafting for specific weapon traits to your liking. i do like the intensity of the game. getting flank left and right.
like the successor of L4D, the game is much more fun when playing with your friends and shouting on VOIP. we need more kakis. and get a mic
Used to be a L4D fans but stop it for a long time because of my work.
If you are obsessed with the loot, better weapons that give you better abilities, then yes, it is a farm/grind.
BUT technically, the weapons mostly have very similar stats, only the advantages they give you are different. So you can still play everything with your basic normal weapons, though maybe you can't play on the highest difficulty. Of course, because there's loot, most of us will end up obsessing with farming the loot instead of playing the game for fun. So yeah, it depends on whether you are obsessed with the loot or just want to play a good L4D2 game.
For me i really like the looting system, if a tough game with no reward and what so ever then there is no point for me to go through all the trouble just to beat the harder and higher difficulty. (with 2 grim and 3 tomes)
For instant, L4D is a nice game since it is really fun at first, but there is really no point of going for higher difficulty unless there is something in return. Some people might do it for achievement but how encourage is that? the only thing worth mention in L4D is their versus mode where player versus player is making people going back to replay again or else we can bored pretty quick with no goal in game.
But i dun think versus mode is coming to this game due to looting system, imagine a full legendary gear character fighting a naked player rat.
u know in warhammer. there is a skaven army book. full of skaven only special item like the infamous warpstone armor, fell blade. i think that would be awesome if the skavens side have loot drop and equipment as well. not to mention there might be special character too. death master, grey seer thanquol, ikkit claw etc etc so yeah it is very possible to have versus mode
The free DLC will introduce a number of new features including player control of what loot is dropped in-game and a new altar in the Inn, that provides ways of sacrificing existing loot to improve the player’s arsenal. In addition to this, the DLC will include completely new traits added to the loot tables and new, unique weapon drops in the “red” loot class for each of the 40 weapon types in Vermintide. Each red weapon features a set trait combination, taking top tier gameplay to a new level.
Aside from this first DLC, Fatshark is separately planning on adding a private mode, for players wanting the challenge of facing off against the Skaven alone! Realism mode is also on the way, removing the game HUD, crosshairs and more to create a truly immersive and authentic (and hardcore!) experience for particularly skilled Vermintide fans. Last but not least, Fatshark will be adding a survival mode to the game, allowing players to take on endless waves of ever-increasing enemies. How long will you be able to last against the deadly Skaven hordes?
Quite excited for this. Finally beaten all maps on hard, and now slowly working to beat Nightmare.
