I would not. The bots seem better in this game than the last one, but they are really not good. Bad players are better than the bots, and my experience ~12 hours in is that you really need to be paying attention or things will go downhill very quickly. The mobs are pretty good at surrounding you and picking you off one by one - not the game to play while listening to podcasts. Or alone.
Its still a hell of a game, and most randoms I've grouped with have been pretty good, and surprisingly polite. It's more noteworthy when someone is overly bad or very selfish with resources. Perhaps because it is such a team centric game that requires you to look out for each other.
You have the same build as me except I have a 1060. The game runs great for me. Getting 70-80 fps on High
I spent all weekend listening to podcasts and playing with randoms. If you're not totally checked out you'll be fine!

Should be possible to do even vet missions with them, if they are good equipped (bots use whatever you used the last time playing the character). Still, you'll have a very hard starting time.
Higher difficulties: Yes, definitely.
Lower ones? Not really.
The wife and I are always looking for more people to play coop with. We're both around level 15 with 250 power level.

Also anyone notice SSAO is just terrible in this game? It looks bad and has a huge performance impact.

I believe Ranald's gift is random for each player, so it's possible someone can get a good roll and get a better chest than everyone if they were on the border of a better box.
It looks terrible on anything lower than extreme. On extreme it is actually pretty great looking SSAO
So just disable it entirely if we can't run it on extreme?

Awesome, thank you! Is there a good resource for PC performance tips for this game? I didn't see a specific thread for it.
Hmm. My kids/mid-range test PC has similar specs.
GTX 1060, Ryzen 3 1300x, 16GB. I'll install it, give it a playthrough and get back to you.
Not that i know of, all i can say is apparently Depth of Field and ultra lighting are the heavy hitters for performance
Anyone else playing get to the later maps? We started doing them last night and many felt unfinished and had a lot of geometry errrors with segments not connecting or obvious gaps. To make matters worse some maps just felt sloppy compared to earlier maps. The one with the catapults and the siege is a just bad map.
This game is very poorly optimized. I can't maintain a steady FPS worth shit.

Game is a LOT harder than the first, imo. My success rate is below 50% at this point, lol.
How do folks feel about the new bosses? I like the Stormfiend and the Chaos Spawn, but the Blight Troll is just kind of a nightmare to deal with. Getting hit with the vomit is just rough as hell.

I switched to playing pyro again after playing tons of unchained and holy shit I forgot how weak the other classes are. On vet one melee hit from anything takes out like 1/5th of my HP as pyro.
The variety is nice. The vomit is just one of those things you have to avoid. Though if someone can take take back aggro, it's not that bad if you do make a mistake. Most bosses aren't that bad unless you get a horde alongside them. Then you just need one or two to kite the boss away, while the rest deal with the horde until its over.
It's neat when you solo queue for champion runs and end up in a game with three other good players. We ended up completing several champion runs with full tomes/grims with minimal communication, and only in text, since everyone played together.
Anyway, it looks like a lot of people in this thread are having a hard time, hit me up if you need some pointers. If people are interested I may help you out ingame with what to think about and how to play as a team.

I hate how 75% of your class's passives are actually not listed on the class selection page screen lol. You need to open your talent tree and mouse over the skulls under your big passive and active to see them.
Sorry, was doing Ni No Kuni 2 stuff. Ran 4 missions on high with SSAO on med. Was averaging 80-100FPS. Sometimes it would drop to 60, but that was very infrequent.
This game is damn good.
Looks amazing, runs smooth as hell, scratches those Left 4 Dead and that Dark Messiah of Might and Magic itches.
Just. *mwah*
Just great.

The game gets a lot easier (for the most part) once your hero level goes up. That and some of the weapons are much more effective depending on your play style, and depending on the bots holding them.
Speaking of the bots, it's good to know they act much as they did in the first game. As with many levels the first time around, they're inexplicably drawn toward ledges. And like before, they'll probably fall right off again once you pull them up. And they'll usually fall off while trying to save another bot.
But the game is great, and cathartic. I love the wholesale slaughter of everything in your path.

Now that my sienna is levelled up a bit im wrecking hordes of ratties. Still on lvl 11 but on recruit now i can oneshot all regular enemies, and deal quite a bit of damage to bosses. Tho im dreading using Sienna on any of the higher difficulties that have FF on. Her attacks have just too much of an AOE to avoid team damage when things are going crazy.
Loving the game so far tho. One thing i found a bit surprising in reviews was people were like "yeah the voice acting is alright, serviceable, nothing amazing". I think the VA's in this are fantastic. Bardins lines are funny, i love Kerillians constant insulting of the others, Kruber is just all round cool, and Sienna is a great, almost motherly figure of the group. Also props to the game for having a clearly middle aged woman as one of its Heroes. Like for a co-op L4D game i love the characters in this more than i do most $60 AAA videogame characters that youre supposed to care about

Victor's sneery nature, and his need, but not desire for health potions always sets my team off. And agreed at the characters being older than usual. Makes a nice change.
Yeah i like the bitching between Saltzpyre and Sienna too. Like how he always sounds pained when complimenting her killing abilities haah
Yeah this map is pretty bad with bots falling off. Funny thing is the other day I was doing a bot map, Chaos Spawn pops right when you get to the part with all the ledges and broken houses and stuff, all 3 bots fall off the edge almost right away so it looks pretty bad. Turns out if you go near the edge and use an ability that stagger bosses, they too can fall. Instantly killed the chaos spawn by making it fall where the bots were, then got the bots up, felt pretty good.
Hahaha, same. Their lines about heretics to burn when picking each other up is great. It always feels like she's toying with him.
Are you on Windows 10? It could be the infamous Windows 10 memory leak. I got that all the damn time. Cant remember what it was that actually fixed it in the end. Like if the game is crashing and you check task manager and your mem usage is 99%, id say thats what the problem is
Leveled all the characters to lvl 5 now(Dorf is 9 for bots), decked out in gear, Recruit is getting much easier to handle. I'm pretty sure I'm in the Hero Power range on all the bots that is suggested for Veteran, is probably why.
This must be a bug, I don't remember this happening before heh.
Dunno why Giphycat refuses to display the HD gif by default, instead of manually having to turn it on.
Hopefully performance fixes in upcoming patches, to get to running like it was in the betas.
Patch notes from today, Nerfing that Troll finally:

yeah that's something you'll just have to get used to, because unlike in l4d where enemies have to spawn around corners or in designated spawning nooks out of the main path the players are on, special enemies in VT2 can actually spawn anywhere at any time. I've turned around to watch a chaos warrior pop into existence before my very eyes lol.
You'll learn to hear them, even if you miss them character's tend to point them out. Make sure when you spot a special to ping it for other players, especially if you're unable to kill it.
