An Update on Itemization

Holy cringe

Yeah i hate to say it, but regardless of how well that new map is designed, it’s not gonna be good enough to keep people entertained until after summer.

That’s 2-3 months!

If there’s not gonna be any events between those updates, it really doesn’t bode well.

We still don’t even have any info about the upcoming update - not what new weapons are gonna be in it, not what the map is… That elevator you’ve teased is going down, fast.

God-Emperor, protect us.

Oh, I absolutely get that and know very well how the green grass effect can vanish the moment you’ve got expectations on you. But it’s not a fair excuse. It’s a consequence of the privileged position you find yourself in at that point.

Doesn’t make it easier, though!

I’ve been on both sides of this fence (as a paid employee making games, testing games, and as an impassioned fan going doe-eyed over cool new things). Thankfully I’m (mostly) retired and have a chunk of time to indulge in things, so offering a bit of time for this isn’t -quite- as big a deal for me as it could be for someone fretting over a 9-to-5, two kids and the whole shebang.

I feel as if I’m able to offer something and I want a -really- good game I can lure more of my friends back to playing again, purely selfishly, so I can have regular premades pretty much on demand! So why not offer some volunteer time? I mean it’s not safe to let me into the animal shelter any more, not after I tried to adopt every single cat in the place, so it’ll be nice to have something to do here!

At least you’ve warned us in advance, before people see the patch notes with no crafting changes. I guess that’s better than keeping us in the dark until the day of the update.

Hopefully the new content makes up for it.

Just remove the crafting locks until you’re big update. Really is that simple :ok_hand:

Leaving the discord, uninstalling. Maybe if enough people actually stop playing they’ll get the picture that their pace isn’t conducive to the long-term health of a community. I’ll check back in 6 months, maybe.

Same, longtime Tide games player, 300 h in V1, 1600 h in V2, 2.1k in DT.

Don’t even need that itemization system cause farmed out all in the game, but was awaiting for the rework as the sign of FS changed their approach.

Holy hell, even for me that’s it. Unistalled, unsubscribed from every FS social media, changed my steam review back to negative.

The fact FS is being able too loose even such autistic players like me that spent thousands of hours in their games, well… quite an achievement indeed

Elden Ring DLC → Space Marine 2 → PoE 2 for me now.

Would the crafting update, assuming it gives adequate player agency, pull you back in?

I understand!

Just for context I’m like VT1 20 hours (didn’t buy it until VT2 Back to Ubersreik), 3160 hours VT2, and 1,936 hours in Darktide

The feedback has existed since before this game was released and continues to this day, glory be to @brosgw , they do not care, 110% NFG

PoE2 is the best free game ever created, love it and can’t wait for the new version

This is Disappointing news, but I’m not shocked. the RNG is going nowhere, it never was.
Fatshark is a typical triple AAA gaming company, they don’t care about your time or experience, Metrics are what is important so I’ve uninstalled the game and changed my review to a negative one

Okay, since you have a whole rewok coming out In fall, how’s about sweeten the current situation by:

  1. letting us remove locks, I’ll gladly give hadron like 5K diamantine for the first and 10K for the second.

  2. Every 100 Diamantine = + or -1% any modifier to caps of 100% and 400 base rating… imagine the fun build craft of … 0% Mobility for 100% in everything else or vice versa :sunglasses:

And then the rework can offer more Ambitious changes, whereas mine are band aids… which can be story attributed to the ancient atoman steel Hadron teases

I’d just like to note that Vermintide 2 not only launched with fully functional crafting and reds to allow players to cater equipment to their liking, it had red dust and crafting within its first year AND a second well-liked crafting system just a year and a half after its release.

Darktide is still in beta almost two years later.

Cxdfc speaks wisdom upon the highest. If w rework is on the horizon, just break the locks already.

They should just remove the locks completely until their new system is ready.

Simples :+1:

Just commenting to point out that everyone seems to have misread this part.

Going by what is actually written here, this section is NOT about our suggestions regarding the crafting system being taken into account.
It just says ā€žMost people seem to think that we should rather delay than to push out an unfinished product. We agree.ā€œ.

How will you compete with Space Marine 2 release in September? I don’t understand. Anyway I hope you are fine and nobody will be fired.
