First of all, Merry Christmas. Well now. There has been much discussion about what actually turns players away from Darktide, and I would now like to illustrate my personal opinion. Let me start by saying that I am not a pro: in fact I am a mediocre player, and what’s more, I tend to sabotage myse…

[image] Newcomer experience after 500 hours General Discussion It does make sense, but the reality is - nothing changed in Patch 13 in terms of progression. So, what you described was also my experience and everyone else who dug into the game. I know precisely what you’re…

Wow, it’s funny how people come here every now and then, and say something about crafting/progression. It’s interesting

Even funnier is that we have extremely regular feedback by tons of players and 99% agree that the current crafting system sucks and FS remains adamant that a gambling system of several layers of RNG is enjoyed by a silent majority.

Huh, it’s almost as if the game was designed in such a way that beyond character level there was no genuine thought given to sense of progression or meaning. “Please, engage with our Skinner box” “The box doesn’t reward us for engaging with it” “We will do as little as possible to insure that you…

This is why i abondoned ship december last year, and i had 180 houers from nov 17-dec 30 (Which is a lot in my case, full time student, working 20 houers a week and very social). I am back after patch 13 as well, i have played many houers now as traitor curse and talent update had some fun stuff (…

Totally agree with the OP. The reward loop and how it ties into a sense of progress with respect to the crafting system is just an utter failure. Fatshark created such an addictive and fun core combat system, yet the reward-crafting loop remains an activate detriment to the game and something that …

[image] Mezmorki: I can’t think of a single instance in my 30 years of gaming where there as been such a passionate outcry about a game’s system that has fallen in such deaf ears. It’s truly mind boggling. My money is on one of three things: Flat hierarchy means that whoever is ‘in charge’…

[image] Ragnarok101: My money is on one of three things: Of course there’s one common denominator across all three: leadership. Fatshark clearly has had a serious leadership problem for a while. There’s an overtone of arrogance and condescension that permeates much of the company IMHO. The o…
