Heroes!

Welcome to Patch 2.0.5.

Whilst we continue to fix and test fixes on bugs you’ve been reporting, we wanted to make some quick balance adjustments which should further address feedback on the flow of combat since 2.0.

With the systems in place now we have a lot more flexibility in scaling difficulty in a way that doesn’t just inflate numbers, but provides us with a selection of dials we can tune in order to create hard yet engaging combat situations. There is of course a process of adjusting to keep that familiar meatiness of Vermintide 2 of old. This patch turns a couple of those dials and should bring further familiarity to your weapon swings.

For WoM beta we added a lower stagger threshold and upped stagger ...

Hey guys,

Participants of beta 1 and 2 (not the pre-release beta) are eligible for the Skull-Sworn portrait frame. Right now it appears they haven’t gone out to these players as planned. We’re aware of the issue and are looking to fix it sometime today.

Thanks,
Hanna

We’re in the process now of setting that live for players who took part in the June/July betas. Should be with you in the coming hours.

You had forum access to the beta section? If so, check the email associated with this forum account. It’s sent to different places. I got in the “promotions” tab on Gmail. Other people had to check the Spam folder and so on.

EDIT: It would have been sent around 10th July. With the title being, “Here’s your exclusive Portrait Frame! ”.

This is only for the beta that took place in June - July. Not for the one that just ended. If you did indeed beta test during the closed/internal test then shoot Hedge a message. I’m sure he can sort it out for you when he gets time.

What in heckin is going on with Bardin’s head?

GJ by the way! impressive

Hello,

This was brought up internally and the Just Reward talent will be changed in an upcoming patch. Below is an excerpt from the patch notes:

"Just Reward - Reworked; Ranged critical hits reduces the cooldown of Locked and Loaded by 15%. Can only trigger once every 10 seconds.

The previous version of Just Reward, while interesting in concept, left you in a state where if you wanted to have the base functionality of Locked and Loaded where it fires one slug and one buckshot blast you resigned your passive cooldown recovery. This was a poor outcome and has therefore been changed. The new version of Just Reward has more interaction with Bounty Hunters passive ability to guarantee ranged critical hits."

Thank you for the feedback.

Best regards,
Kasper

On the stream yesterday I think it was. They said the portrait would show up in a couple weeks.

We are working on this, we had to get a card to be able to repro this, we have and are working on a fix, sorry for making you wait, thank you for your patience

Heroes!

  A new difficulty layer to the adventure mode, Cataclysm. Test your mettle against stronger, more aggressive enemies. You’ll probably not survive.
