Bay 12 Games Forum

When briberylegal political donations amount to pocket change.

The sad thing is it'll probably work.

I actually tried a play through and died over there.  They follow you, if you are too slow on following the worms, the people in the rear get crushed by the tunnels as they collapse.  (Is not instant death, just huge damage.)
Bigger party, closer you gotta stick to that worm's arse.

I am also awful.  So I use big ship with big 360 shields.  Put most of the weapons on autofire(and/or make them point defense) and only focus on using the ones pointing forward.

Technology is a means to their end.  There must be some pragmatism.  If they can't win space battles, they can't enforce their ideology. save humanity from itself.

Bah, the only thing I care about is the singleplayer campaign.

I distinctly remember losing a good chunk of life.  As in, legendary lone slaverat stabbing you in the ass damage.  It is not small. 
It was kinda funny, we were not prepared at all and low on ammo.  Poor huntsman kept getting surprised from behind. (Too lazy to quote properly on mobile phone.)

So far in the first three weaves, the only thing that truly surprised me was on Weave 12, Azyr, where...

They added warp fire kamikaze rats as an enemy. The 2nd half of Weave 12 is hordes of these bastards spawning at once. Their AoE isn't huge, nor is the damage per explosion that bad, but the knockback is huge, and the knockdown can leave you vulnerable to other stuff. When two or three go off on you....These enemies are the first time I feel like VT2 has ever given me a reason to use a rapid fire weapon. Sniper to deal with specials has almost always been king.

Even if the weaves is supposed to be competitive, it'll leave a lot of people who won't want to bother helping others clear weaves they've already done.
Not really great for Quickplay people like me.  But with the fact that it is all resetting anyways, not gonna bother.

As for the base game, some of the changes do make it harder.  The WHC shout doesn't stagger most things in legend till you hit 35.  Which was really embarssing when You are expecting breathing space to snipe things, but get smashed instead.

The enemy AI is more effective at surrounding players and switching to closer targets.  I have been punished severely many times for sniping specials, when I'd have normally got away with it.  Plus running attacks are my bane.
Typically, more spawn points are utilized in non-ambush hordes, which makes it harder to gain room for sniping specials.
Some things were also made harder, like fort brackenburg now spawns elites and specials during the finale.

If you are looking to carry contraband, I remember that there are some pirate type ships that have hidden compartments or something that will hide contraband from inspections.
