Hallo dear Fatshark,
(i hope my english is not so bad and u understand what i mean =))
i love ur games for example Vermintide 1&2 and Darktide, too. But… after i have played a lot of time i have have question myself what makes me dont want play the game longer then 90h. (it sound much but isnt for me)
I have find examples what i dont like in warhammer Darktide.
- I hate the Missions board very much! it gives lvls what i like and what i hate with mods and i dont want that the game say to me what lvls i must/can play. I want decide by myself what mission i want play. It makes me more angry when i want make my weakly and i must find foliants and the only mission on this day when i have time to play gives me only Grimoar missions. This is then the moment when i say “nope, then i play a other game”.
Solution: Make the Missions board so that the player can Decide the level and the second mission by himself what he want to play. When a gamer want only like 1-3 levels than does not prevent him to play the lvls he like.
- The “Skilltree” for the most of class feels like that the class have no skilltree aktivate =D When i play with a lvl 30 class it feels not different to lvl 1 class. In Vermintide i have feel a new passiv skill on my char on lvl 5, 10,15 and so on. In darktide i feel nothing spezial.
solution: Give class better passiv skills that player feel the change in his class. A lot of player like it when she feel that she become more powerfull. But in darktide i dont feel it much.
- The setting has so much endgame potential but Fatshark dont use it.
Endgame ideas:
-
Change the story so that the char. start on a very rundown ship. And when the char become lvl 30 he become the captain for this ship and then u can start grinding materials for the ship for upgreading the ship what can give u boni for ur char./Hero. The Materials can u find normal in Missions and player can decide what upgreades the ship becomes. Like for psyk. a Altar for faster cooldown on his aktiv skill ors so but when u build a altar u cant build a other building enymore.

Make a Timer mode: A mode where can teams in Spezial hard missions make a best-timescore and this stand then on a board in the lobby ship where all can see the score and who are the best 10-20 teams with the best Times. an after one month or 2 weeks start the counter new (a reset) and with a new mission can people start again for trying become the best time =)
-
Raid Missions: Make a Raid with 5- 10 missions what what can a team make every week. For exaple a team start a raid then the team must make 5-10 Missions and when the team have finish it they become loot like one or two legendary guaranteed and episc loot and a 1-2 % chance of a free skin from the shop or so and materials. The chance of a freeskin let players feel that she can become for free too.
-
Prestige Modus: When player finished lvl 30 then give the gamers a Prestige Mode. Make to the prestige mode a “skilltree” for every prestige the char becomes one point for the Tree and in the tree give points like 1/5 “2% more dmg vs Mutants” and when max 5/5 “10% more dmg vs mutants” this is only a exaple.
I dont know what other player say to my ideas but when u like it push the topic and like it =) maybe fatshark see it =)
