Rejects, For today’s blog, we will outline some of the features and changes we are actively working on in our next major patch and discuss how we arrived at making some of these changes in detail. An Update on the Shrine Before Darktide’s launch date, we brought an update on the different features…

Then why does it sound like to me you’re defending the system? At least until you stated the system is pretty horrible too. We both know what the system is like, we both have our own analogies for it. Is it just that our view of the upcoming changes are different? Mine are “good start but it doesn…

nah i have no idea if it’s good enough. no one does it is impossible at this point, that’s what i am saying - taking issue with the upcoming system or even thinking the upcoming system is great are both currently totally irrational since the system will make or break depending on the odds. people re…

Oh right, sabbacc is a space version of blackjack where the target number is 23. 4 suits of 15 numbered cards and 13 face cards from 0 to - 12. The main unique thing about it is that cards can randomise at any time, but you can place cards in a field to lock the value, and in most some variations yo…

Vermintide 1 and 2 has loot and RNG, I’m not against some RNG but Darktide is orders of magnitude worse, with significantly more RNG and deliberately removing player agency from it and surrounding systems. And their (proposed) systems for mitigating said RNG is bad and doesn’t address the core issue…

Ok but this still isn’t really equivalent. You are still playing the lottery and I feel like the problems with this analogy is that it massively downplays how much the game expects you to play the lottery. It’s random if you get the weapon you want. It’s random for how high your modifier score is…

Worse than a lottery: [image] Darktides horrendous loot system by the numbers or Why we should demand some promises The designers are aware that finding specific items with a specific perk is a lottery. They had done the math too and when I suggested it was like a lottery I was told I was unders…

[image] FatsharkCatfish: this next patch Is “this next patch” this week? Soon? Whenever?

[image] zaygr: My bet is they don’t have a statistician on the dev team or they didn’t listen to them. Or there were different people working on different parts of the itemisation and no one spoke to each other. oh, literally yes. that was the point of the quote you used later - no one ran th…

I know this situation is by design. Vermintide 2 was tuned for about 100 hours of attempts, by the developers own admission. They didn’t even realise why people kept on playing for hundreds to thousands of hours more. This current design is a extension of that statement, where they are trying to e…

[image] zaygr: This current design is a extension of that statement, where they are trying to extend the itemisation for hundreds and even thousands of hours. It feels like they have a Diablo mindset, where they’re fantasizing about players continuously throwing their old gear in the trash as…
