Before I begin I have to admit these suggestions are really heavy influenced by my own opinions and partly drastic. Both is pretty unusual for.
I loved Vermintide 1 and Vermintide 2 just needs to be little bit less edgy and it will be award winning without doubt. Thank you for this game.
The next suggestions are not meant as simple rants:
Maybe I am nostalgic but the perfect pistol strength, for me at least, was in VT1 on nightmare:
Smaller vermins still died from body shots, the bigger ones needed headshots. Armored enemies needed multiple shots to the head. A pistol kill was really rewarding and the Brace of Pistols felt versatile. There were better weapons for special sniping and better weapons for clearing out hordes. But the Brace of Pistols were versatile enough to do both without being OP. Aimed shots had an impact but a missed shot is not a too big loss.
I miss that.
I wish the rapier would hit in a narrower arc with slightly bigger range and had less stamina. Range + less stamina may favor a more dodgy playstyle with that weapon. The attackspeed is okay if the arc is more narrow. Otherwise it has to be lowered in exchange for the wider arc.
Overhauling the Witch Hunter Captain and his career skill.
Zealot is melee focused, horde and a little bit single target. Bounty Hunter is ranged focused against single targets and a little bit anti-horde.
The Witch Hunter Captain (WHC) tries to be something between those with some support skills.
He is bad at it.
Instead the WHC should excel at (witch) hunting single targets and as counterpart to lacking horde clearing abilities he buffs/supports the team.
You tag an enemy (orange or red border) for x seconds. In this time the tagged enemy gains forced aggro on you. You also get +% movement speed and significantly increased crit power against the sentenced enemy. Cooldown might be somehow shorter than now. Maybe 1.5 minutes instead of 3.
This career skill offers great synergies with his other passive abilities (more damage on tagged enemies, free blocks against frontal light attacks, instant slaying of mansized enemies with critical headshots).
The WHC may specialize in a support role for bossfights, tanking/intercepting/distracting specials or bosses (duelist cc build) or a high risk high reward playstyle for skilled WHCs DPSing through taggable enemies.
Volley bow is great weapon at hands of bounty hunter since he can compensate the reload speed, ammo capacity and damage with crit(comparing to brace of pistols). At hands of witch hunter or zealot, I feel volleybow is mediocre due the lengthy reload time and low ammo capacity, and the damage without crit can be not enough sometimes.
I do agree some points with host, brace of pistols have very high damage, OK range, good accuracy and no-need to reload. The main weakness of this weapon in Vermintide 1(medium damage with high ammo capacity) is that when player use dual pistols mode the movement speed is greatly reduced so players need to be aware of surrounding. But now this weapon can kill target so fast I can kill special then switch back to melee weapon very quick, the low ammo capacity is only issue I have with this weapon, which seems too good to be true.
In VT1 I used rapid fire either on bosses while not tanking, on bottlenecks against hordes (piercing through multiple enemies) or for just 2-3 fast shots for any special no one else has eliminated yet.
In VT2 I barely use it. With only 20/26 ammo on WHC it does not take long to get dry (bad against the gigantic hordes in VT2 compared to VT1), anything smaller than a boss is either armored and needs aimed headshots or dies from one bullet to the body.
You can read a short summary of the book here and learn about the unpardonable sin. Below is an the text of a sermon I preached on Matthew 12:31-32, which is where Jesus warns about the unforgivable sin.
Then there is the righteous man who commits unrighteousness and dies as a result of it in Ezekiel 18, and the man in 1 Corinthians 5 who was involved in an incestuous relationship with his mother in law. Lot who committed incest with his daughters. Ananais and Sapphira in Acts 5 and so many other examples in Scripture of genuine believers who fell away.
Matthew 12:31-32 is often pointed to as proof that we can lose our salvation. The sin mentioned in this passage is often referred to as the unpardonable sin or unforgivable sin. It is said that if you commit this sin, then no matter how good of a Christian you have been up to that point and no matter how much you repent or confess afterward, you will not make it to heaven.
Blasphemy is similar. The most basic definition of blasphemy is to speak evil or injuriously about God. So blasphemy is a sin of the tongue. A sin that uses words and thoughts rather than actions. So right away, all of this sins listed above that involve actions are not what Jesus is talking about. In fact, the only sin mentioned above that involves actions and thoughts is the sin of denying Christ and speaking against Him. So blasphemy against Christ is to speak evil or injuriously about Him. But jump ahead to Matthew 12:32. Look what Jesus says there. He says that speaking against the Son of Man will be forgiven.
Matthew 12:32. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.
So these Jews are rejecting Jesus as the Messiah even though they know the prophecies about Him, have heard His teachings, and have seen His many miracles. Yet they still rejected Him and accused Him of being in league with Satan.
If this view is correct, then nobody can commit the unforgivable sin except for the Jewish people living at the time of Christ. According to this theory, since we are not Jewish and we are not living at the time of Christ, we cannot commit this sin.
The second theory is that the unforgivable sin is committed when someone accuses Jesus of Satanic allegiance. One variation on this theory is that the unforgivable sin is committed when people attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan.
Years ago, when the holy laughter phenomenon began to spread out from Toronto into other churches around the world, there were many who were saying that this experience was not of the Holy Spirit, but was of Satan. Those who were involved in the Toronto Blessing phenomenon claimed that such statements were blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. They claimed that if God was doing something through the Holy Spirit, and other people said that these things were from the devil, then that is the unforgivable sin. They get this idea because in context, Jesus is performing miracles and casting out demons, and the Pharisees say that He does this by Beelzebub. Jesus then accuses them of having coming close to committing the unforgivable sin.
The point is that this second theory becomes impossible to practically live out, because there would be no way to tell with certainty what is from the Holy Spirit and what is not. We would have to accept everything as possibly being from the Holy Spirit so that we did not accidentally commit the unforgivable sin.
Someone who does not believe the gospel will of course not be forgiven in their unbelief. If they continue in their unbelief until death, then they will never be forgiven. This is the view of Charles Stanley and many others.
The reason I eventually rejected this view is that the warning here by Christ seems more serious than this. Jesus indicates that this sin cannot be forgiven, whereas unbelief can be. And if this sin is unbelief, why not just call it unbelief?
One reason I eventually came to this conclusion is through a deeper understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit among unbelievers. The Holy Spirit is at work in the world convicting them of sin, of their need for righteousness, and the coming judgment (John 16:7-11). He also helps draw and woo people to Jesus Christ.
If a person is being convinced by the Holy Spirit that Jesus is the Messiah, and that person lashes out verbally at the Holy Spirit by saying something about how Jesus is of the devil or accuses the Holy Spirit of being Satanic, this could be the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
This is different than simple resistance of the Holy Spirit. When non-Christians resist the Holy Spirit, they are trying not to hear what the Holy Spirit is telling them. They try to drown out His still small voice with constant music, recreation, entertainment, sex, alcohol, and drugs.
First, the person may stop resisting, and submit to what the Holy Spirit is saying, and as a result, will believe in Jesus Christ for eternal life. They are now and forevermore a Christian. Once a person has believed, they can no longer commit the unforgivable sin, because it is only a sin that unbelievers can commit when the Spirit is drawing them to Jesus.
Second, the non-Christian may continue to resist throughout his or her life, and will die in a state of resistance. Since they never believed in Jesus, they do not receive the benefits of eternal life. They never committed the unforgivable sin, but they also never believed in Jesus for eternal life. They simply resisted the work of the Spirit their whole life.
They once and for all choose to remain on their path of rebellion. The Holy Spirit will no longer convict them of their sin, of the offer of salvation, or of impending judgment. Such people have demanded to be left alone, and their request will be honored.
When an unbeliever lashes out in this way, this reveals a heart hardened beyond hope of forgiveness. They will never be forgiven because there is nothing left for the Holy Spirit to appeal to. The Holy Spirit stops attempting to draw, convict, and convince people who commit the unforgivable sin.
Since you have believed in Jesus for eternal life, the Holy Spirit has stopped working upon you as He does with non-Christians, and is now indwelling within you to mold you, shape you, and form you into Christlikeness. Yes, you can still sin against the Holy Spirit by quenching or grieving the Holy Spirit, but you cannot blaspheme the Spirit in the way Jesus talks about in Matthew 12:31-32.
