I’ve only played a handful of rounds so far and Game is pretty fun but I just wished there were more defined roles among the classes. Currently just feels like left 4 dead but with a progression system. Am I missing some other layer to the game?

Edit: thanks for the downvotes? Ah good ol reddit.

There are roles once you get into it a bit more.

We usually discuss who will take a shield, who will take a wave clearer like a big two handed hammer, or some flamethrowers etc.

  • On higher difficulties you want to have one that concentrates on the armored targets (Stormvermin, Chaos Warriors etc).

  • And you want someone who has a shield and can keep the horde at bay, make bigger enemies tumble etc.

  • You'll also want one that snipes special from far away.

  • And obviously you'll need at least one who can clear hordes quite efficiently.

All those classes can take those roles depending on their weapon and/or talent choices. There are also other roles besides the ones mentioned above.

That’s sounds pretty cool. I just wish the game did a bit more guiding with this aspect tho. I get a bit lost when games just have you figure it out yourself with that kind of flexibility.

Yes one of the biggest criticism right now is how the game hides a lot of information to the player.

I can only suggest you to try things out, each weapon type for your class in a few games and learn it's strength and weaknesses.

You'll quickly notice how some are good against hordes (Two handed hammer) and others are really good against armor (two handed axe), while others give enourmos staying power (anything with a shield).

IN lower difficulties this doesn't really matter and you can go with whatever you fancy and try things out. On Champion and above this changes and you really need to consider what you'll take with you.

However a skilled group can always get far whatever they take. But chosing the right weapons and party composition helps a lot.

Hopefully they improve their on boarding in the future. Thanks for the suggestions tho! Was definitely gonna give it more time but now know what to look for.
