Lately i feel more and more strongly that Darktide is like an old car kept together with duct tape. Every other evening there is aproblem with something else. My yesterday experience:
We play havoc , and suddenly cant start a missions, it says to the person who initates it “ somebody in your party isnt eligible” or something similar. So we try to somehow fix this, turns out a person had to cancel an ongoing mission option, even tough he wasnt in any mission. Ok but some poeple left during that time we were troubleshouting, so we have to wait for a full team again. So we play and get full ranged spawns on open maps, like ~20 mixed repears , gunners, snipers…Trying to play that without bubble… very frustrating. We fail 2 times, on third time we try to cooridnate via voice - push to talk stops working for th whole game. After the game We play with settings, it works for a few minutes, in new game it stops working again, we cant coordinate and possibly because of it loose again.
2 weeks ago, we couldnt play 1 evening, because the game lagged impossibly for one of us, even tough every internet test we could find worked find for both of us.
Every other evening it seems its something else. The game itself balance wise and difficulty wise, seems unbalanced and unfair, quite frustrating at times. When you add frequent bugs/problems, it really starts to push to the limit where you just say “ F this, lets play something else.”
