Has the op actually played any of the previous vermintide games? This is a serious question because this attitude that “vermintiders” somehow hate the core of this game could not be further from the truth.
Nah most of us don’t hate the core gameplay, rather it is something why we stuck with vermintide 2 for all that shi* the game went trough the first year.
Ghost swingging weapons, bugs, connection issues, absolutely hilarious rng on red level gear, crafting taking 2 years to actually give you the properties you want because oven was 5x slower than it is currently, talents being an absolute mess, etc etc.
Like does this sound familiar at all? Does it sound similiar to what darktide is going trough now?
You would expect that developer like fatshark would learn from such a massive fallout but nah, here we are again with darktide in absolutely similiar sitsuation. The core gameplay is solid (even if its nearly 90% copy pasta from vermintide) but everything around it is built with no real tought put into the systems and plastered with ductape to keep it functional. You don’t even have to look further than shop/crafting or talents to realize they are simply not finished.
People are getting massive dejavus here and gameplay will only keep people interested for so long especially when this games launch is simply inferior to vermintides (less classes, no mod support etc).
What most of us want is for fatshark to actually deliver on its promises and not keep shitting games over and over in a state that will probably and most likely require other year again to fix.
So stop, actually read why “vermintiders” dislike the current state of this game and don’t strawman this into something it isen’t.
