Darktide removed from Gamepass and theres no reason for me to buy the game now

Wild take. Vermintide 2 has been going strong with a very small dedicated fan base. I simply do not see this happening.

I suggest waiting until may (thrones event) vermintide sometimes is 5 bucks, or cheaper! great buy. I Imagine Darktide will have some new content and maybe a discount around that time.

helpless yes. betrayed, how? Ignored, we are here for you brother!

I bought a steam key from CD keys for around £15 after 2-3 months from release date.

It is still £15

Think my last steam direct purchase was like 15 years ago. Yea I lose ability to refund, but the savings over 15 years across all games…

Only is that there no cross progression from gamepass to steam version. But maybe submit ticket to carry over resources and lose cosmetics and gear.

Incoming PS5/PS5 Pro players. Sony digital store will be £40-50 markup to.

you’re clearly on the wrong game here.
The game, if you adhere to it, starts AFTER the level 30.

In fact, from the level 1 to 30, I would advice a player to not even try to involve themselves with the crafting system and just use the same weapon… this is what I did last time I created a character. It was a zealot and I played with same axe from level 3 or 4 to 30.

Actually, I started on gamepass and bought it on steam one week later.
I have only played it 2605 hours, so a cost of 0.015 € per hour.

you can point a lot of bad decisions from fatshark, you can even point that they succeeded to make the game population tiny instead of a popular game, but they did not leave this game.
They are slow on development, they are slow on balancing… but they continue to develop the game.
And yes, the game has lost a lot of players… but let’s face it, SM2 has lost 50% of its players in 8 days, HD2 is now at 50k so they have lost 400k players
So yes, with only 4.5k players, Darktide is not what it should have been. And mainly cause they have released the game at an open beta state. but it is not dead…

Darktide is at 15€ on Kin…

You play this game for fun, not for the progression.

But since you don’t want to play anyway, there’s no reason to discuss it further, is there.

besides, no matter the hour/€ ratio there are far ā€œworseā€ ways to spend your money.

had to replace 2 windows, the chimney was letting rainwater through the roof and come tomorrow i’ll have another bill on top of that for my cars repair.

so out of sheer spite alone i treat myself to something i enjoy for once since whats the point of some numbers on paper on your way into the urn?

to my knowledge and the combined of any king or emperor (minus the one refusing to leave that golden garden chair) in history, you cant take 1 coin with you.

so whats 40€ ?

CD keys is still technically a ā€œgray marketā€ seller.

If it’s not listed on IsThereAnyDeal.com it’s potentially shady.
DT is on Sale at Fanatical ATM
BUT cheaper still by % is the Imperial Edition for < 2 bucks more there Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Imperial Edition - IsThereAnyDeal , basically near free cosmetic bucks.
You can buy a near-free game for < 10 cents (sort by price) and get a 5% coupon to apply as well on Fanatical (see exclusion list).

TLDR: Never buy direct from Steam, check IsThereAnyDeal.com first

30 is the minimum for a full-fledged character one can try any build with, up to here it’s leveling.

did the same with my zealot #2.

  1. You’re playing games for free on gamepass. You shouldnt have any attachments.
  2. You can trasnfer gamepass files to Steam to keep progress.
  3. Seems like you feel betrayed/ignored mainly because DT isnt on gamepass anymore.
  4. Your main concern is the game dying because it’s not receiving enough players (even though it’s doing as well if not slightly better than VT2 ever did) and youre willing to so easily let it go.
  5. You dont want to wait anymore when theyre finally giving us details and massive update is coming in 10 days.

Weird man. Very weird. :unamused:
Just say ā€œDarktide isn’t worth 2 months of Xbox Gamepass.ā€

Little known fact but 30 is also the maximum for a full fledged character one can try any build with.

I don’t think they will shut down the servers for darktide so no need to worry about that.

Imo darktide has got something crucial that can be quite rare these days - replay ability… that makes it worth the money. But its your call, take it easy man : ) o/

and hopefully by the time truelevel shows them at >300 theres a tiny chance they gotten a grasp of what they should do in higher settings.

sadly certain players seem to think max ingame lvl is the end of the learning curve, when its only after having all skill points at their disposal and going through thorough practise that they can show if they’re a worthy team member.

Wow, I didnt know that. Thats a cool workaround. Has this been tried and tested?

Well, you can’t play War of the roses. Though it’s probably Paradox call, but still a precedent.

you can’t

I would honestly be surprised if you could. Afaik, the data is stored on the FS servers, not locally.

I would love confirmation of someone doing this and how they managed it @TrueZealot

only thing you can do is ask some CM to copy your characters over, not sure if they do it anymore though

Crossplay and crosssave being standard to ALL games ever couldnt come sooner imo.

Im sick of having to have the same exact game on multiple platforms to play with different friends.

Is PC gamepass not just Microsoft Store, so you would buy the game there and keep playing normaly anyway without gamepass subscription?

Also my Xbox still tells me the game will leave on the 30th if I start it up, did we get some input from Fatshark on the situation by now?

Gamepass on xbox and Gamepass on the pc are technically different platforms that I think can always crossplay with each other but things like saves are separate. I might be wrong tho.

If you can do it for other games like DRG, idk why DT would be any different.

But i doubt anyone would do it anytime soon because why even expect to save progress on f%$#!@g Xbox Gamepass unless they pay that shi for their entire life.
