I never said it’s a huge issue, it’s just a suggestion for the devs, it was never meant to be a discussion
that seems to be the case.
anyone is free to use a build, they can have them on gameslantern, from videos of players who share them, or inspect players on the mourningstar, but: i want to have an understanding of what i use and why, not just because player x uses this.

I would advise against this, and I’m not trying to be funny, even the gameslantern “popular” builds are typically better than the random mishmash of Emprah-awful stuff you see on the MStar for ppl under lev 1k.

that for sure. i like inspecting people’s builds just because i’m curious, especially if someone i played with was very good, but just copypasting a build made for someone else’s needs can yield bad results. anyway, if someone is allegedly not able to klick 30 times into the skill tree, then there’s not much to expect.

Did i claim i was psychic somewhere? o.O
If you wanted to talk only with the devs you could just have contacted them directly.
This is a forum, is it really surprising that a thread you created turns into a discussion?

No. Quality of a playerbase means as much as quantity. Tiktok brained zoomers should be gated, sorry.

idk if your buddy cannot even choose 2 weapons and a talent tree that you suggest for him then i don’t think its a game that he will enjoy in the long run.
You could argue that half of the game currently is tweaking the build you want to play with.

for this kind of game its all about the quality of players in my opinion.
seeing numbers jump briefly and then drop to the solid base again tells me casuals aint staying no matter what.
i’m willing to commit a huge part of my spare time, effort and cosmetic wise budget i’d spend else where if the game rewards my fanatic devotion i’m intending on increasing even.
what value does a cookie cutter/insta death player add by simply being there?
40€ sale contra regular cosmetic purchase at around 30€ (granted IF the material strikes my fancy)
guess by now 100-120€ was spent for cosmetics, gotta check for details, but its a close enough estimate.
so in time long term players generate revenue as well, not so sure sales numbers increase at new patches or rather “old” accounts get briefly reactivated.
by the time those rusty rejects would be fit for auric again, most dropped out for having burned through “content” or been a drain on maelstrom too early and frustrated not only themselves but the other 3 team member as well.
is it really so hard to put some effort in if people expect quality results?

More people = money influx = more content. And most people are casual players.
Cause game is bareboned in terms of metagaming systems, kinda outdated approach.
Barely any customization. 2024 - can’t recolor items freely, such a bruh moment. Warhammer game tho, that tabeltop franchise about painting minis.
Like, our characters live on the voidship. Why can’t we have our room to decorate and grind stuff? Put trophies there? Like rooms were there in V1 and V2, just expand this idea. Costs barely anything to implement but adds a whole new layer of rewards.
Someone will make a cool pic of his room on the Mourningstar via photomode and drop it on twitter, and some another dude will see it and say “looks dope, think i’m gonna try this game”, this is how such things work nowdays, ingame systems work as a marketing tools kinda, trought the players posting stuff in social media.
There are factions and npc’s, but there no quests and no rewards. Do Metalfab maps - earn prostetic arms, mechanicus decales or color palettes, etc. Grind Torrent - earn rewards from the Water Cartel. They copypasted Destiny 2 hub, but not hub systems like quests i already mentioned.
Hub is dead, absolutely useless for cooperation cause puts players with random expirience, no social activities or minigames.
And on top of that tones of small and not so small bad things - fomo timers, gacha, server errors, only one biome - hive world, no new enemies, etc. Pickaxes, like rly?
Fatshark are just lucky they have those guys who made the combat system. But overall their game systems and quality is like from 2003.
Meanwhile PoE - a free game, adds new systems with every league, be it town management simulator, tower defense, autobattler, 10th type of crafting system, etc.
So in the end DT is a game for noone. People who played V1,V2 and other l4d type of games can’t understand why mission board and gear system is like that.
People who played Destiny, Warframe or Division, can’t understand why itemization is like that and why there is nothing to grind.
People who played tones of different game genres just kekeing at how DT is designed.

So, admittedly, I have the identical build on all five loadouts for my main Wahid.
The only thing that changes when you switch loadouts is his attire, so I may not be equipped to answer this, but I don’t believe you need to spend any points to go ingame and shoot baddies?
You’d miss out on interesting stuff like more grenades etc, but I seldom change builds and it works well for me.
Simply put the points in the stuff you want, such as a blitz and grenades, and forget about it unless you want to adjust something.

Likely because it’s all AWS instances? You want to go visit your personal room, that spins up another instance that only 1 person is using. That costs real money to do.
… If I was being cynical.

Not sure what do you mean. Like if that thing game needs to upload a new room everytime someone is leaving the hub and another player is joining? Well it’s a fair point. However it just means that useless hub with 20 or how much is there players, was a mistake.
Outlast Trials hub > Darktide hub
It could be done so room is just another floor, like a living hub area with minigames and social activities, for like 4 players, and you can go there by elevator (oh no another laoding screen).
Anyway it was just a random idea about cool stuff that brings some life and soul to the game aswell as things to grind.
Eeeehh. Both V1 and V2 sales were good, deal with Tencent, deal with Microsoft, MTX in DT from the start. Probably CEO bought a new yacht yep.
What happened to OP, where did he go?
@sinephase You can’t just call people psychic, refuse to elaborate and then leave 
The (female) thread, the (female).

? the what now ?
