Another Shop Rotation, another grievance

Is this really the best you’ve got?

Thirty-seven years of lore, art, and cool stuff to draw on, and we’re getting rags and recolors, with weapon skins gone from the bundles a long time ago, again.

I guess this does show where the company’s priorities lie. They’re fine with getting someone to actually do their job and tell us things - but they will never change the cash shop to something good.

Well, If I’m not mistaken it’s an attempt to make Tallarn Desert Raiders cosmetics, at 30% effort.
On closer look… yeah, we’ve seen those pants before.

I think there has been Tallarn stuff leaked before in the first big cosmetic leak, just for the Vet though

And it wasn’t this.

Tbh I quite like the Psyker and Ogryn ones

Would prefer this though (But I also know many people would point at it and claim FS is doing things that don’t exist in lore)

Really cool cosmetics. But I won’t take them. Too expensive.

But if it was at a correct price, I would have taken them… and also the last rotation… and for zealot, veteran and ogryn.
Instead of something like 20 € (what I consider a fair price for 5 cosmetics (so 5 x 4€)) they will get 0 €.

quite obviously another floater revision before the next update. which coincidentally falls on the 26th, the same day as the shop update :^]

remember that extremely snazzy las pistol skin has been sitting in the game for a month. its obviously going to be withheld until that premium-est rotation.

But Lucius lasgun has 1 skin (and its not the ugly one with the gold eagle for a muzzle end) so its not a complete waste of space.

In thier defence i would say that company priorities should lie balance and stability of the game and new content (with crafting system out of the way).

That said, the skins are outsourced so they can find someone better, I don’t mind recoloring once in a while but they should cost way less.

This would mean extra work, a new character model and new set of animations, more testing around clipping and probably far more I’m not even aware of (I’m not a game dev).

For clarity: I prefer how VT2 shop operates: from accessibility of ALL skins at ALL times, REAL money currency used for sales and quality of offered skins. Darktide for a game which was apparently designed with cosmetics in mind, yet took multiple steps back from VT2 when it comes to the cosmetics experience.

No no Tallarn is not my favorite regiment what made you say that? :3

I would honestly not be surprised if they are reworking (or are planning a rework) for a cosmetics update that they just aren’t telling us about.

How many years did it take for Lohner’s shop to actually have decent paid and unpaid options?

Keeping in mind VT2 wasn’t launched in nearly as broken a state as Darktide, it was mostly just bug-ridden.

Looks good, too bad you need to wait for 2 separate sets and hood cosmetic to create this outfit

Ah well yeah I didn’t creat this in one rotation

Thanks for posting this, now I don’t have to boot the game up and look.

The phrase that goes through my head, where I get frustrated on things with darktide when it comes to the cosmetic shop is “minimum viable product”

Yes. Fatshark could do better. Yes they could start allowing customization like what is offered in “for the drop”. But they don’t. They do the barest minimum with recolors and call it good. Frankly, they’re better than that behavior in my opinion.

Yeah, that’s how it feels. It is there solely to fulfill someone’s requirement that there be a cash shop with rotating stock.

These outfits would make more sense if we actually had maps on the surface of the planet rather just all in the hive city

There’s two maps with sand. Ok, it is just the starting sections, but still.

I find these cosmetics good. But, several parts are just recolors. And I hate the recolors and the fact we cannot recolor freely our cosmetics. Also, it would make easier to find cosmetics (only models, then you choose colors).
And, it is toooo expensive for what it is.

Clearly not. Most of the skins are just recycled mix n match cosmetics turned bundles. You gotta wait for the skins where they plaster the Darktide symbol on it.


Best way to use your money is to NEVER BUY BUNDLES.
Only buy the cosmetic you want and keep waiting. That way you arent sitting with random skins gathering dust wondering why u even purchased them in the first place.
