Can't pick the outfit I want to buy?

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback
1

I’ve been playing more Vermintide 2 lately since Darktide burns me out fast, but the new event, the Arbites class, and news of another class got me excited again. I’ve never bought Darktide skins since the initial shop controversy, but I own every Vermintide 2 cosmetic and DLC. On top of that, money’s been tighter since I moved these past couple years.

With $430 in my Steam wallet from selling CS2 skins, I planned a $300 Darktide shopping spree. But the skins I wanted weren’t in the shop. After all this time, Fatshark’s still using rotating FOMO tactics and a premium currency that hides real prices! At least they changed the Aquila bundles to comply with EU laws.

It’s disappointing and honestly insulting. I never cared much about cosmetics before, but having the money, desire, and chance to finally buy what I want, only to be locked out now, is way more upsetting than if they’d just shut the shop down completely. Since I’d never bought anything before, I didn’t even realize it was rotating. I got pulled back in for a bit, and now I’m back out. Instead of their disgusting mobile-game-style cash shop, I’m taking that $430, going through my Steam wishlist and buying DLC and games from developers who actually respect their players. I don’t even know if I want to come back to Darktide now.

Another one for the Book ig. I think we’re going to break 80 separate threads soon

I better take a peek at the book. I did not know that there were that many topics on the cosmetic store. This issue specifically, didn’t know about it, didn’t concern me. This is the first time I’ve opened the store since the game launched.

Even I would spend money in the store if I could buy what I wanted straight away without the FOMO crap, and without having to get monopoly money first.

No doubt those developers will appreciate you buying their games more than Fatshark.

I don’t think the bundles actually changed, did they? There’s still leftover currency you can’t avoid with many purchases right?

Yes, they only added the 2400 and 2900 bundles, and while there was a single throwaway line saying they haven’t forgotten about the 100 bundle, that was about a year ago.
