Greetings everyone. I can’t stay on the sidelines and want to share my experience and opinion regarding the in-game store. I’ve been playing the Tide series since the days when you had to run around with a trinket and open chests in hopes of finding an extra cube, otherwise your chances of getting the coveted legendary weapon were close to zero. Thanks to the whiners, now there’s nothing to achieve in the game except shitty achievements. Now you can buy everything. But I want to talk about another store. The Aquila store. I bought Dark Tide as soon as the pre-order went live, the edition that gave an extra 3,000 Aquila. To support the developer, so to speak. The first skins, like in all other games, were a different color and that’s it. In my experience, there was no need to spend currency on them; just wait for the truly special skins to appear. And you know what? I still haven’t spent them… 2026. I even bought the extra 4,000 in the starter pack while I could. You might ask me, “Well, the developer doesn’t care about you then; you’re not the type of person who spends money.” Yes, I’d be happy to buy more. But I can’t spend what I have now. Because when I want to play Darktide, the skins I like aren’t in rotation. Never!
Take what they give you. No, thank you. It’s like going to a store and picking up a TV the salesperson offers you. And you’re like, “Yeah, right!” I won’t Google the price or what other TVs are available.
Going back to my words, I supported you early on. Starting with Vermintide. Now, in 2026, having such a terrible store is just a slap in the face.
I’m appealing to you. Please change this already.
To all concerned players, please leave a comment if you care about this issue.
One more antiFOMOshop thread.
There should be more of them.
… Did you actually prefer the game with the terrible old crafting system from before September 2024?
Genuinely fascinating if you did.
