I think part of that is burn-out from pre-order beta players. That doesn’t invalidate any point made about player drop off though.
That is most likely true, but, Vermintide 2 had a similar curve (check graph in post below).
Vermintide 2 also had a lot of the same issues. Loads of technical issues and a hard time incentivising people to keep playing the game after they had gone through all maps on recruit/veteran difficulty. A part of that is also that FS didn’t deliver on promises and that the technical issues took a lot of development time away from what they had planned.
This right here is exactly it. I don’t understand what you mean by the difference between complaints and feedback when the “complaints” made by me and many others have been very specific suggestions for feedback. Is your issue with our tone? Do you feel like we’re asking for too much? Repeating ourselves? What are we to do when the vast majority of us are in agreement about what we dislike but Fatshark has yet to make a comment on our concerns.
Ok, yeah I agree those are unreasonable complaints. But those kinds of “BUFF ZEALOT!!1!1” “THUNDER HAMMER TOO WEAK” “PSYKER UNPLAYABLE” complaints are mostly on Reddit or the gameplay suggestions category here.
Do you really see anyone mentioning those things in this thread??
Game was delayed for a year - take as much time as you need
Game was delayed again - hopefully they need to iron out some bugs
Game releases - Everything outside of gameplay is a massive let down and outright detriment to players.
Thought V2’s blowback on crafting would have been enough but guess not.
Yes, this thread has 300 replies and if you come back a bit you will see, complaints about pennances, scorebords and balance.
Additionally evey 4th thread is referring to Vermintide in one way or another, not all of them about what was good and where FS apply previous learnings, but also what ppl like personally, not considering it may not be the best for DT.
Also I mentioned “many threads”, not this specific one, here it seems to be a more civilised than some.
And there is a clear difference between suggestions backed up by reasoning and on the whim demands, c’mon you know it.
That is all fair, but many ppl have issues with topics that were addressed in this update, like shop, solo/private play, shared resources and couple of others.
I know some of these responses are too vague for us to see what they are planning to do with it, but at least we know there is some attention there.
There is another page(s) of concerns, of course, but FS will not conjure answers for us if they don’t have it yet will they.
I personally may be most interested in improved rewards and any news on the “seasonal approch”, expecting addtional content, others are interested in other things.
Do we really expect them to make a list of questions from the entire forum and give an update on all of them at once ?
That’s a great question from my part as well, “This is a sizable endeavor, and its feasibility is still unknown”, the working resource / item sharing is there in VT2, why is it so hard to achieve “feasibility”
… do you not realise that sentence does not mean “at the start of next week”? It just means at some point this week that feature will become available.
Honestly I don’t really like the whole shooty shoot. Vermintide was unique with melee being the focus with supplemental ranged. Wish it stayed that way. I mean how many games out there have firearms? A million. How many have an in-depth melee system while also being a cooperative fps with skill based gameplay? Not that many. Vermintide was a niche but an interesting one nonetheless. Anyways agree with your post whole heartedly.
@Aqshy just remove the cash shop entirely, or halt development on it. There are features that are vastly more important than squeezing an extra 20-30 bucks out of everyone’s pockets that are missing from this early access release.
Why even have separate character slots? Just give everyone the ability to fully customize each class at any point, it’s an easy solution to a problem y’all made up for yourselves after Vermintide 2 handled it so well.
I do. I also don’t like it. The update cadence is kinda crap from Morbidly Obese Fish at current state. So I will make fun of them when they word it like that.
Considering state of the game, what they’re doing, regardless if they’re doing their best (Emperor help us, if this is their best) is not good enough.
While it is extremely common for games to lose players after the initial hype…
You would probably want to lose them because the type of game doesn’t suit them…
Not because the systems are [purposely] badly designed.
And that’s not counting performances.
