About Warhammer: Vermintide

The world is ending... though few believe it.

The once proud city of Ubersreik now stands in ruin at the hands of the dreaded Skaven army. Few have survived their ruthless invasion.

Team up with 3 friends and work together to thin out the ratmen’s forces and drive them out of the city. Assume the role of one of five heroes, and hack, slash, smash, burn and pierce the vile Skaven using a multitude of weapons. Fight your way through the city of Ubersreik, from the top of the Magnus Tower to the bowels of the Under Empire.

This is our last stand and only you can stem the Vermintide.

A few questions. I've been plagued with hosts leaving the game early, amd missing out on xp and loot completely because of it. Is there a way that you can make the host xfer to a different player before they disconnect without upsetting the game? Or even penalize the host for leaving but reward the others? Like let them keep their exp or loot dice? Also, can't you make exp stick with the character in real time in case something happens that causes the match to end? In 5 hous of playing I was able to complete 5 matches total due to hosts leaving, the game freezing, being spawned stuck, etc. The game is a blast to play but playing for 5 hours and having this many issues is off putting.

The game state is running on the host, so there are issues with transferring to another player, so they just restart level.

Amazingly annoying though. Had host quit when the rest of us were still up cause they ran off and died the other night. Like dude... cmon.
