If your friend is the host, & you own the corresponding dlcs. All you have to do is go into custom game and choose the specific map that you want to play, whether that is bogenhafen or ubersreik.

In this scenario, Kobra is the host and owns DLC, and their friend in the lobby does not own DLC. If Kobra, the host, ... Read more

Heroes!

In Patch 1.4 we changed the way in which players can quickplay in to DLC missions in Vermintide 2. This thread will break down some scenarios to help answer any questions or concerns you might have.

With the release of Back to Ubersreik, we have returned to an expanded version of our original Vermintide 1 (Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide) DLC 'sharing' practice.



Short Version In order to host a Custom game with a DLC mission, or have that mission be selected for Quickplay - you, or any other player in your Keep, will have to own that DLC.



Much Longer Version
Scenario One The Most Common Scenario
You press 'Quickplay'. The Quickplay mode places you in another player's Keep which is waiting to head out on a mission. Whilst in this lobby, the 'pool' of maps available to the party are a total of all the base game maps and those contained in DLCs that any me... Read more

I can't talk about that! :) Is there a secret? :)

Thanks for the support! We listen to the feedback and try to act on it and have a good mix of new things and some requested content from Vermintide 1.

Is there a secret 4th map in the new DLC?

I made a thread a couple of months ago about making this type of DLC. I really hope my thread had an affect on someone on the team :P. This DLC is great for the players that don't own VT1 or just loved them maps. I hope everyone else sees this as 2 cups of Starbucks coffess supporting the devs.

Do not bump / necro posts The act of posting simply to bump a thread is considered spamming. This also includes bumping very old threads for no reason (called 'necro bumping' or 'necroing'). If you have an issue that's new to you and no current thread exists on the subject, feel free to create a new thread... Read more

Ok, ok, I was the first trashing FS for their policy change on the match-making, it’s only fair I come with something actually constructive to propose.

Because I care about the game, I think it’s a great game and I think it could become way bigger, better and popular than it is currently, and I think that FartShark is a great small indy company full of cool people who managed to deliver a game way better looking than what you’ll expect from a company of that side, BUT, I also think they are extremely misguided when it comes to what they should do with the game post release, so here’s my suggestions.

We got 2 problems:
1) The playerbase is dwindling pretty fast
2) FatShark need to money to being able to keep supporting the game and themselves.

Why is Verminitide playerbase dwindling (and that applies to V1 too)?

Simple: No patch with new content that make you comeback and nothing interesting to work toward once you are there.

Access to three (or more?) new maps with some challenges & five new weapons/combos (one per hero) available via Okri's Challenge book.

So what exactly do you get with the new DLC?

The Viral Portrait is no longer 'Viral', I'm afraid to say.

NO-DLC users hosting, with a DLC user joining will have DLC maps, too?

Yes.

Scenario. You're the host and you're in the Keep. You do not own the DLC. Someone joins your keep via Quickplay. They DO own the DLC. Now your Quickplay pool of maps includes the DLC maps.

How does this affect games in progress? Thanks for all the clarification!

Non DLC players would not be able to join them via the lobby browser or via quickplay, but you could invite someone via the Steam UI or the ingame friend list (which is essentially hooked in to the Steam UI) to join your DLC map in progress.

Provided you're in the lobby awaiting QP players, yep. If the map has begun, only DLC players would be able to join via QP.

If I host a lobby and I have DLC, can people without DLC join my lobby? (As in them joining through quickmatch)

If I understood you right, you're correct.

Good day,
does anyone have this that can share / play a mission with me? is it still available?

Thank you.

Originally posted by Fatshark Hedge: This decision doesn't really split the playerbase. There aren't different matchmaking pools for owners of the DLC, and people who don't have it. The way it works is that, when you Quickplay, if you own a DLC, those missions gets added to the list of missions you can join. You can still join the base missions, and other players can still join your base missions as well. Since the vast majority of players use quickplay, it doesn't really split...
