Dear Fetshark, I’ve been playing your miracle game for a little while (sarcasm), and let’s subtly hint about numbers and realities. The game was released - and a month later most of the players left. Patch #13 (ONE YEAR LATER) aroused interest and brought back/added a new audience, and online grew…

I had the basic expectation for them to just talk about the most broad plans for the game this year And they couldn’t even manage that

[image] Mezmorki: [image] Mayson: All three are wonderful and unique, legendary games. Yes - and isn’t that what other developers and in specific Fatshark with Darktide should be aspiring to? Oh definitely. I just don’t think this topic should be tackled how OP did it. That’s my only p…

what a way to not be listened to hopefully fatshark is nice enough

while I’m not getting into the Nitty Gritty of the numbers, I don’t think the amount of maps is really the problem but players have art-style-fatigue, in that it all looks the same ish. Same criticism that was kind-of levelled at Fallout:New Vegas. It all looked brown/tan. (I know it’s the bloody d…

you can’t really compare VT1 to darktide in populataion issues. VT1 had P2P and then suffered a “quality of life” mod that locked people’s servers from players that didn’t meet their expectations, effectively wiping out available games for the majority of players. darktide has public servers so it’s…
